Harvard Grad Warns Americans

Harvard Grad Warns Americans Of 'Hell-On-Earth' Planned By New World Order
Average American doing above average things writes warning letter, saying 'never give up firearms' as war on terror is war on freedom.
30 May 2006

By Greg Szymanski



Suanne Skidd says it's time "to make a massive effort" to save America "from the hell-on-earth" planned by the New World Order.



With her impassioned plea, the 44-year-old Harvard graduate living in Boulder, Colorado, becomes another average American doing above average things, as a showdown between good and evil is right around the corner.



Although most Americans are ignoring the "writing on the wall" as the dollar tanks, the war escalates and illegal immigrants are flooding the streets, Skidd has decided to sit down and write a warning letter to Americans, filling them in on what to expect if they don't act now.



Inspired by the Republic Broadcasting Network and especially talk show host John Stadtmiller, Skidd recalls how she came to the conclusion to write her eloquent warning, advising Americans to "never give up their firearms:"



"I listen to RBN many, many hours every week, trying to put the big picture together.

From my research, I know we are in grave danger, and so I cannot possibly just continue going about my daily life and ignoring this problem in the hope it will go away. It will not go away. I am obsessed with doing whatever I can to wake up my family, friends and even total strangers, to the point that certain people in my life who wish to not wake up are getting angry with me.



"Recently, I know I need to do more, things are not moving fast enough, and the hour is getting late. I believe they will strike us again soon. They are not done with their destruction of America. I have lots of reading material on the back of my car, but this week (largely thanks to John Stadtmiller) I decided I need to have something definitive to give out to people that attempts to explain what is happening, and tells people where toget real information.



"Unable to find anything that fit the bill on the internet, I sat down and wrote an open letter to my fellow Americans to alert them to what I believe to be our precarious situation, and I will be giving it to anyone I can find who will take it. Waking the

American people up to the scam of 9/11 and the fraud that is the "War on Terror" is our only hope for restoring our freedom and our Constitutional Republic.



"It is the only thing that will save us from the hell-on-earth that is the New World Order's plan for us. Thus I believe it is the most important thing those of us who "know" can do at this critical time. It is truly time for us to make a massive effort to save our country from these criminals. No one else is going to do it for us. Let's roll!"



Skidd's story is like many who grew up searching for the American dream, living in affluent Connecticut and graduating from Harvard University in 1983 with a BA in Government. And like so many others under the hypnotic spell of apathy cast by the Reagan/Bush years, she tuned out her country and politics, becoming disillusioned with corporate America



"I tuned out and traveled around the country following the Grateful Dead for the next several years. I always knew something was terribly wrong, I just couldn't figure out what. I knew, even back then, that the Bush family, especially "Poppy", was pure evil. I have been deeply troubled by the JFK assassination my entire life, and always knew that it was a coup d'etat.



"In my opinion, America has not been America ever since. I agree with what talk show host Greg Szymanski when he said that 'it still looks like America, it just doesn't feel like America anymore.



Skidd began seriously questioning the New World Order in 1990 when she found out about hemp and the marijuana conspiracy from Jack Herer's book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes". And according to Skidd, the campaign against hemp in the 20's and 30's amounted to a coup of the world's economy to favor petroleum products by outlawing the best renewable alternative.



"This was a perfect example of problem/reaction/solution, the Hegelian dialectic, and their favorite Orwellian trick of changing the name of something in order to deceive us," said Skidd. "They created an imaginary problem by printing made-up stories about terrible things people allegedly did under the influence of "marijuana" (a scary word no one knew, while everyone knew hemp/cannabis as benign and very helpful, in fact a staple of the world economy) in their publications (William Randolph Hearst was deeply involved in this blatant yellow journalism...yes, of course they already controlled the media even in the 30's).



"Many of the names involved in outlawing hemp are the same names I now know to be part of the Illuminati/New World Order. They rigged the entire world economy in their favor (of course!) by banning hemp and have been reaping huge profits and gained ever more power and control ever since. This book was a revelation to me as to how things really work in this world, that things are not necessarily what they appear to be. I realized that "history", as it is presented to us, is largely fiction. Looking back now, I can't believe I ever bought the official story about 9/11."



Although Skidd admits to being duped about 9/11 like so many other Americans, she is now working tirelessly to awaken a sleeping public. According to Skidd, Americans should never give up their firearms and the following warning letter, entitled Day of High Treason in America, is intended for every single American to read before it's too late:



My Fellow Americans,



The evidence (and there's plenty of it, including irrefutable scientific evidence) indicates that the "terrorist attack" of September 11, 2001 was a false-flag (government-sponsored) operation, a psy-op on the American people, an inside job, designed to shock and frighten us into going along with the agenda of endless war abroad and Nazi-style tyranny here at home.



Everything the current regime has done since then has exploited the "attack" of that infamous day as justification for their outrageous criminal activities. The (incredibly un-patriotic) USA Patriot Act, obviously written long before 9/11, has effectively shredded our Bill of Rights and Constitution. This is their Orwellian trick, calling things the opposite of what they actually are, assuming most of us will never get past the title.



The "War on Terror" is really a war on freedom, and we are its target.



We are in very grave danger of losing our Constitutional Republic and our freedom forever. The controlled corporate media, which is owned by the powers-that-be, the global elite, the Illuminati, the New World Order, the secret world government, whatever you want to call them, is (obviously) complicit in this, so that although many prominent people are now speaking out about 9/11, there is little mention of it, and certainly there is no honest debate.



They will not tell us the "truth" until they have no other choice, because so many people already know, and even then they will try to "spin" it. Do not believe them! The electronic voting machines are rigged, so our politicians care not what we think or want. Republicans and Democrats are both involved. Skull & Bones John (W's cousin, by the way) wouldn't have saved us, and unfortunately neither will Al nor Hillary.



They are all apparently working for the New World Order, one-world government, and the destruction of America. It's not about liberal vs. conservative, that's just a distraction for us, to make us think we have a choice and to keep us divided. It's really about freedom vs. slavery. The powers-that-be will select the next President for us. It will be who they want, not who we want.



After all, he will be their puppet. It is absolutely critical that every American do something now to stop the Fascist agenda of this criminal regime! They are working straight off Hitler's script, with 9/11 as the Reichstag Fire, they are practicing Nazi philosophy right here in America, against us, and time is running out. The grandfather of the current resident of the White House made the family fortune backing Hitler and the Nazi war machine, and should have been tried for treason. Instead, he somehow became a U.S. Senator, and his son and grandson somehow became President. They have not changed sides.

They even had Nazi symbols up on the stage at the State of the Union address, so the Fascism is right in our faces. It's time for us to wake up! Everyone involved must be impeached and/or indicted and tried for treason and other crimes. Our country is being deliberately destroyed while we are being (also deliberately) distracted by sports and American Idol.



I don't expect you to believe me, but please research these issues at the websites below and elsewhere, make your own decision, and take appropriate action! Watch the excellent 9/11 documentary Loose Change 2 (which will be shown to the British Parliament next month, June 14, 2006, I believe) on Google Video for free! Educate your family and friends! Our only hope is to wake up enough Americans to take back our country from these evil criminals before they strike us again.



They may use another false-flag terror attack, a natural disaster (think Katrina) or even a biological attack or real or imagined "outbreak" (Avian/Bird Flu?) as a pretext to gain even more control. Their goals internationally are mass-depopulation and World War III (IV?) starting in the Middle East, spreading who-knows-where. Their agenda at home includes forced vaccinations, concentration camps, martial law and gun confiscation.

The Matrix

So we ARE in the Matrix!!! We as ordinary (those without a lot of money) citizens of the world have been living a lie for all our lives. We have been manipulated, lied to, and abused by the elite just for their entertainment and benefit. They created (not like how God created things) a world to their benefit starting at least a hundred years ago and it started moving faster after the creation of the Federal Reserve System. Money used by the United States, as well as most countries of the world, is borrowed from a Federal Reserve or one of the large banks in the UK or Europe. Therefore, our country is not our country, but is collateral in any dealings with said banks. And as far as I can tell someone soon is going to call back all those loans and leave us as the property of the banks. Can you say "NO MORE CREDIT?" Use cash and stop buying crap you don't need that some shill on TV is hawking to make you just have to have it. Grow up America...stop being fat and lazy and help find a way to fix this. You don't need that giant screen tv with the lousy picture (all the one's I've seen are not as clear as large (cathode tube) screen tv's. Now they want you to get rid of that new dvd player because they have a better one waiting in the wings. Can you say 'planned obsolescence'?

The Origins of Anti-Litter Campaigns

I've never known anyone who was objectively pro-litter. Litter's awful. It's disgusting. We're all agreed. But it seems that the nationwide anti-litter campaign, which began in the 1950s, was a bit less pure in its origins. According to Heather Rogers' Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage, the entire anti-litter movement was initiated by a consortium of industry groups who wanted to divert the nation's attention away from even more radical legislation to control the amount of waste these companies were putting out. It's a good story worth retelling.

After World War II, the story goes, American manufacturers were running at full blast, and needed American consumers to keep buying more and more junk if they wanted to maintain their profit margins. And since there's an upper limit to how much junk a given family genuinely needs to own, manufacturers had to figure out how to convince consumers to keep throwing their existing stuff out, so that they would buy new stuff.

In part, that meant companies had to ensure that in a few short years consumer goods would become either unfashionable (advertising can do that), or obsolete (simply stop offering customer support for anything a few years old), or broken (like the non-replaceable batteries in iPods that wear out after two years). Giles Slade describes some of these strategies in his book, Made to Break, and they're techniques that have existed for decades now. But another way to ensure that factories could keep churning out junk was to introduce "non-renewable" packaging for products—for instance, the aluminum soda can—that could be produced, trashed, and then produced again.

The problem is that all of this endless—and needless—manufacturing creates a lot of garbage and pollution that generally wreaks havoc on the earth. (Packaging currently accounts for one-third of all trash in the United States today.) And eventually people wised up to this fact. In 1953 Vermont passed a law banning "throwaway bottles," after farmers complained that glass bottles were being tossed into haystacks and being eaten by unsuspecting cows. Suddenly, state legislatures appeared poised to pass laws that would require manufacturers—and the packaging industry in particular—to make less junk in the first place. Horrors.

So that's where litter comes in. In 1953, the packaging industry—led by American Can Company and Owens-Illinois Glass Company, inventors of the one-way can and bottle, respectively—joined up with other industry leaders, including Coca-Cola and the Dixie Cup Company to form Keep America Beautiful (KAB), which still exists today. KAB was well-funded and started a massive media campaign to rail against bad environmental habits on the part of individuals rather than businesses. And that meant cracking down on litter. Within the first few years, KAB had statewide antilitter campaigns planned or running in thirty-two states.

In essence, Keep America Beautiful managed to shift the entire debate about America's garbage problem. No longer was the focus on regulating production—for instance, requring can and bottle makers to use refillable containers, which are vastly less profitable. Instead, the "litterbug" became the real villain, and KAB supported fines and jail time for people who carelessly tossed out their trash, despite the fact that, clearly, "littering" is a relatively tiny part of the garbage problem in this country (not to mention the resource damage and pollution that comes with manufacturing ever more junk in the first place). Environmental groups that worked with KAB early on didn't realize what was happening until years later.

And KAB's campaign worked—by the late 1950s, anti-litter ordinances were being passed in statehouses across the country, while not a single restriction on packaging could be found anywhere. Even today, thanks to heavy lobbying by the packaging industry, only twelve states have deposit laws, despite the fact that the laws demonstrably save energy and reduce consumption by promoting reuse and recycling. (A year after Oregon passed the first such law in 1972, 385 million fewer beverage containers were consumed in the state.) And no state has contemplated anything like Finland's refillable bottle laws, which has reduced the country's garbage output by an estimated 390,000 tons. But hey, at least we're not littering.

So it's a nifty judo throw, as far as it goes. I'm guessing that much the same thing is behind industry promotion of recycling. Again, no one can be "against" recycling. It's very good. But of the three suggestions in the phrase "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," the last is the practice least effective in curbing the manufacturing of junk. And that's exactly why, during the environmental movement's peak in the 1970s, the industry-funded National Center for Resource Recovery—which was founded by none other than Keep America Beautiful—lobbied state and national legislators to favor recycling as the means to address concerns about rising tides of garbage. It beat forcing people to "reduce" or "reuse."

The catch is that recycling can probably only do so much to limit garbage production. As Rogers' book points out, many materials can't be recycled too often before it gets junked, and a vast amount of material marked for recycling simply gets trashed anyway, or is sent overseas to be dumped. Recycling certainly has very considerable upside, not least of which is that recycled stuff requires vastly less energy to create than making new junk from scratch, but it's only a partway solution to reducing the 230 million tons of trash generated by this country each year, if that's what people think should be done. A longer-term solution is to stop creating so much junk in the first place. Essentially, though, that's what ideas like litter prevention are meant to obscure.

Top 10 Signs of the Impending U.S. Police State

By Allan Uthman, Buffalo Beast. Posted May 26, 2006.


From secret detention centers to warrantless wiretapping, Bush and Co. give free rein to their totalitarian impulses.




Is the U.S. becoming a police state? Here are the top 10 signs that it may well be the case.

1. The Internet Clampdown

One saving grace of alternative media in this age of unfettered corporate conglomeration has been the internet. While the masses are spoon-fed predigested news on TV and in mainstream print publications, the truth-seeking individual still has access to a broad array of investigative reporting and political opinion via the world-wide web. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the government moved to patch up this crack in the sky.

Attempts to regulate and filter internet content are intensifying lately, coming both from telecommunications corporations (who are gearing up to pass legislation transferring ownership and regulation of the internet to themselves), and the Pentagon (which issued an "Information Operations Roadmap" in 2003, signed by Donald Rumsfeld, which outlines tactics such as network attacks and acknowledges, without suggesting a remedy, that US propaganda planted in other countries has easily found its way to Americans via the internet). One obvious tactic clearing the way for stifling regulation of internet content is the growing media frenzy over child pornography and "internet predators," which will surely lead to legislation that by far exceeds in its purview what is needed to fight such threats.

2. "The Long War"

This little piece of clumsy marketing died off quickly, but it gave away what many already suspected: the War on Terror will never end, nor is it meant to end. It is designed to be perpetual. As with the War on Drugs, it outlines a goal that can never be fully attained -- as long as there are pissed off people and explosives. The Long War will eternally justify what are ostensibly temporary measures: suspension of civil liberties, military expansion, domestic spying, massive deficit spending and the like. This short-lived moniker told us all, "get used to it. Things aren't going to change any time soon."

3. The USA PATRIOT Act

Did anyone really think this was going to be temporary? Yes, this disgusting power grab gives the government the right to sneak into your house, look through all your stuff and not tell you about it for weeks on a rubber stamp warrant. Yes, they can look at your medical records and library selections. Yes, they can pass along any information they find without probable cause for purposes of prosecution. No, they're not going to take it back, ever.

4. Prison Camps

This last January the Army Corps of Engineers gave Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root nearly $400 million to build detention centers in the United States, for the purpose of unspecified "new programs." Of course, the obvious first guess would be that these new programs might involve rounding up Muslims or political dissenters -- I mean, obviously detention facilities are there to hold somebody. I wish I had more to tell you about this, but it's, you know... secret.

5. Touchscreen Voting Machines

Despite clear, copious evidence that these nefarious contraptions are built to be tampered with, they continue to spread and dominate the voting landscape, thanks to Bush's "Help America Vote Act," the exploitation of corrupt elections officials, and the general public's enduring cluelessness.

In Utah, Emery County Elections Director Bruce Funk witnessed security testing by an outside firm on Diebold voting machines which showed them to be a security risk. But his warnings fell on deaf ears. Instead Diebold attorneys were flown to Emery County on the governor's airplane to squelch the story. Funk was fired. In Florida, Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho discovered an alarming security flaw in their Diebold system at the end of last year. Rather than fix the flaw, Diebold refused to fulfill its contract. Both of the other two touchscreen voting machine vendors, Sequoia and ES&S, now refuse to do business with Sancho, who is required by HAVA to implement a touchscreen system and will be sued by his own state if he doesn't. Diebold is said to be pressuring for Sancho's ouster before it will resume servicing the county.

Stories like these and much worse abound, and yet TV news outlets have done less coverage of the new era of elections fraud than even 9/11 conspiracy theories. This is possibly the most important story of this century, but nobody seems to give a damn. As long as this issue is ignored, real American democracy will remain an illusion. The midterm elections will be an interesting test of the public's continuing gullibility about voting integrity, especially if the Democrats don't win substantial gains, as they almost surely will if everything is kosher.

Bush just suggested that his brother Jeb would make a good president. We really need to fix this problem soon.

6. Signing Statements

Bush has famously never vetoed a bill. This is because he prefers to simply nullify laws he doesn't like with "signing statements." Bush has issued over 700 such statements, twice as many as all previous presidents combined. A few examples of recently passed laws and their corresponding dismissals, courtesy of the Boston Globe:


--Dec. 30, 2005: US interrogators cannot torture prisoners or otherwise subject them to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.


Bush's signing statement: The president, as commander in chief, can waive the torture ban if he decides that harsh interrogation techniques will assist in preventing terrorist attacks.


--Dec. 30, 2005: When requested, scientific information ''prepared by government researchers and scientists shall be transmitted [to Congress] uncensored and without delay."


Bush's signing statement: The president can tell researchers to withhold any information from Congress if he decides its disclosure could impair foreign relations, national security, or the workings of the executive branch.


--Dec. 23, 2004: Forbids US troops in Colombia from participating in any combat against rebels, except in cases of self-defense. Caps the number of US troops allowed in Colombia at 800.


Bush's signing statement: Only the president, as commander in chief, can place restrictions on the use of US armed forces, so the executive branch will construe the law ''as advisory in nature."

Essentially, this administration is bypassing the judiciary and deciding for itself whether laws are constitutional or not. Somehow, I don't see the new Supreme Court lineup having much of a problem with that, though. So no matter what laws congress passes, Bush will simply choose to ignore the ones he doesn't care for. It's much quieter than a veto, and can't be overridden by a two-thirds majority. It's also totally absurd.

7. Warrantless Wiretapping

Amazingly, the GOP sees this issue as a plus for them. How can this be? What are you, stupid? You find out the government is listening to the phone calls of US citizens, without even the weakest of judicial oversight and you think that's okay? Come on -- if you know anything about history, you know that no government can be trusted to handle something like this responsibly. One day they're listening for Osama, and the next they're listening in on Howard Dean.

Think about it: this administration hates unauthorized leaks. With no judicial oversight, why on earth wouldn't they eavesdrop on, say, Seymour Hersh, to figure out who's spilling the beans? It's a no-brainer. Speaking of which, it bears repeating: terrorists already knew we would try to spy on them. They don't care if we have a warrant or not. But you should.

8. Free Speech Zones

I know it's old news, but... come on, are they fucking serious?

9. High-ranking Whistleblowers

Army Generals. Top-level CIA officials. NSA operatives. White House cabinet members. These are the kind of people that Republicans fantasize about being, and whose judgment they usually respect. But for some reason, when these people resign in protest and criticize the Bush administration en masse, they are cast as traitorous, anti-American publicity hounds. Ridiculous. The fact is, when people who kill, spy and deceive for a living tell you that the White House has gone too far, you had damn well better pay attention. We all know most of these people are staunch Republicans. If the entire military except for the two guys the Pentagon put in front of the press wants Rumsfeld out, why on earth wouldn't you listen?

10. The CIA Shakeup

Was Porter Goss fired because he was resisting the efforts of Rumsfeld or Negroponte? No. These appointments all come from the same guys, and they wouldn't be nominated if they weren't on board all the way. Goss was probably canned so abruptly due to a scandal involving a crooked defense contractor, his hand-picked third-in-command, the Watergate hotel and some hookers.

If Bush's nominee for CIA chief, Air Force General Michael Hayden, is confirmed, that will put every spy program in Washington under military control. Hayden, who oversaw the NSA warrantless wiretapping program and is clearly down with the program. That program? To weaken and dismantle or at least neuter the CIA. Despite its best efforts to blame the CIA for "intelligence errors" leading to the Iraq war, the picture has clearly emerged -- through extensive CIA leaks -- that the White House's analysis of Saddam's destructive capacity was not shared by the Agency. This has proved to be a real pain in the ass for Bush and the gang.

Who'd have thought that career spooks would have moral qualms about deceiving the American people? And what is a president to do about it? Simple: make the critical agents leave, and fill their slots with Bush/Cheney loyalists. Then again, why not simply replace the entire organization? That is essentially what both Rumsfeld at the DoD and newly minted Director of National Intelligence John are doing -- they want to move intelligence analysis into the hands of people that they can control, so the next time they lie about an "imminent threat" nobody's going to tell. And the press is applauding the move as a "necessary reform."

Remember the good old days, when the CIA were the bad guys?

APATHY

I have copied and pasted the first six entries to this blog to give you an idea of what this is all about. Some very greedy, unethical individuals are trying to push their agenda onto an unsuspecting world and the only outcome I can see is the destruction of life as we know it. They are pushing too hard, too fast and in the wrong direction. I have worked for large corporations and could see first hand what all their extra cash was going toward...to further their political agendas. Why has it gotten to the point where corporations are calling the shots and we are suffering?....APATHY. Most people sit in their comfy homes thinking nothing can harm them so why should they be concerned, or, the 'how can one person make a difference?' syndrome. Get up off your lazy asses and make a difference. Tell those whacks in power ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Laws need to be passed making corporations and lawmakers accountable for their actions. Not the mediocre laws in place now with loopholes designed by the very lawmakers themselves. If we truly want a conservative government, lets turn it in the right direction and get someone in there that can make difficult FOR THE PEOPLE decisions and get their hands out of corporate pockets.
Do something before "the Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper", as George Bush has stated.

Review: 'In Mortal Danger - America'

A Book Review
By Frosty Wooldridge
5-24-6


Great statesmen advanced America with profound visions! Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison, at great personal danger, facilitated the founding of America. Those men understood the gravity of their fledgling country. George Washington fought for America on the battlefield. Later, Susan B. Anthony, Dr. Martin Luther King and others advanced America's future by pushing ahead against enormous odds.

Those Americans stood ahead of their time. They proceeded at great personal risk. They moved with passion and greater understanding in time-periods where most sat on their hands.

Colorado's Congressman Tom Tancredo stands with the greats of history via his actions and book "IN MORTAL DANGER: The Battle for America's Border and Security".

All but ignored four years ago, he stood in the House of Representatives issuing a clarion call concerning the dangers of relentless illegal and massive legal immigration into the United States. He formed the Immigration Reform Caucus--at 93 House members and growing.

I know Tom Tancredo personally. I know his integrity, his grit and his intellect. I understand this man's noble purpose. What is it? Tancredo strives to save the United States of America from unending, nation-killing illegal immigration.

I found the first three-quarters of the book absolutely riveting! Through national dialogues, debates and diatribes-four myths emerge:

Myth 1. There is nothing the U.S. can do to stop illegal immigration.
Myth 2. Illegal immigrants take jobs Americans don't want.
Myth 3. Illegal aliens are an economic plus for America.
Myth 4. Only bigots object and oppose immigration.

With the Bear-Stearns findings of 20 million illegal aliens residing in America, the real numbers focus a black eye on President Bush and Congress for standing against the U.S. Constitution's Article IV Section 4. At no time in history has one president acted with such disregard to his oath of office as George W. Bush after 9/11 as to national security. Our southern borders remain as open as a 24 hour shopping mall, but in this case, drug and people smugglers along with MS-13 criminals enjoy full access to America.

Our English language suffers displacement while newcomers carry anti-American sentiment to extreme levels.

"For years I have witnessed a differencethe kinds of people coming into the United States," Tancredo said. "Too many immigrants continue to be loyal to their native countries. They desire to maintain their own language, customs and culture. Yet, they seek to exploit the success of America while giving back as little in return as possible."

Illegal aliens manipulate America's welfare opportunities like an art form. They've bankrupted dozens of hospitals out of existence. Illegal alien felons cram our prisons while having wreaked havoc on our citizens. Illegals inundate our school systems while destroying our language and culture. Pregnant mothers with anchor babies pour across our borders by the tens of thousands annually.

Tancredo exposes:

George Bush is well aware that people from countries with established al Qaeda connections have entered the country using Hispanic appearances. MS-13 gangs, "one of the most violent and bloodthirsty gangs to ever prey on our society have infiltrated America and created links to al Qaeda." Illegal aliens extend drug cartels across the United States.

Throughout this brilliant book, Tancredo shows America's roots being destroyed. He exposes the farce of 'multiculturalism' as witnessed in Paris, France; Amsterdam, Holland; Great Britain and Sweden. Tancredo illustrates the 'clash of civilizations' such as the incompatibility of Middle Eastern immigrants that do not and will not assimilate into any country. He announces the "Barbarians are past the gate" with sobering illustrations of America's danger.

Tancredo adds Dr. Madeleine Cosman's warnings as to diseases entering the United States in limitless numbers as he quotes her, "The influx of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical consequences. What we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive and more deadly that what is seen." In the past five years, 16,000 new cases of tuberculosis raced into America in the bodies of unscreened illegal aliens. Over 7,000 cases of leprosy impregnated themselves into America. Tens of thousands of cases of hepatitis 'A' spread to all sectors of America. Chagas disease, Dengue fever, New Castle, tapeworm, malaria and many other diseases creep across the land.

Tancredo, with the most electrifying clarity yet, discusses the impact of adding 100 to 200 million immigrants into the United States. How can the American Dream not become a nightmare by injecting this country with a half billion people on its way to a billion in this century? Tancredo quotes the two Pulitzer Prize winners Donald Barlett and James Steele, "Illegal immigrants turn the land into a vast latrine, leaving behind revolting mounds of personal refuse and enough discarded plastic bags to stock Wal-Mart."

Tancredo brings great vision to the debate:

Put troops on the border End 'catch and release' policy Mandate passport usage for all international travel Make volunteer border patrol a sanctioned federal activity Suspend visa waiver program

Tom Tancredo adds common sense enforcement:

Require federal response to local enforcement
Make employment verification mandatory
Eliminate social security entitlement
End birthright citizenship known as anchor babies
Make English the official language of America
Eliminate the visa lottery
Eliminate chain migration
Stop all H-1B visas

Tancredo offers a dozen other exceptional solutions that Bush and Congress must initiate immediately. I'll add one more: we must reduce legal immigration to fewer than 100,000 annually in order to sustain a stable population. Why? This country and our planet cannot sustain unlimited population growth. We bequeath horrible consequences on future progeny-now experienced by China, India and Bangladesh.

Tom Tancredo's book advances solutions to stop the death of America. His book will prove one of the most important solutions in the history of the United States. It will prove as valuable as the U.S. Constitution for the survival of America.

Tancredo finishes, "I am proud of what America is. I am proud to be a product of Western civilizationall of these things are worthy of our allegiance and worthy things about which we should tell our children. We must encourage them with all our hearts. If we do not, we shall find ourselves in mortal danger."

Paranoia As Policy - How Bush Brewed The Iran Crisis

By Paul Craig Roberts
5-24-6


Why did the Bush regime create a crisis over Iran?

The answer is that the Bush regime is desperate to widen the war in the Middle East.

What has Iran done? Unlike Israel, Pakistan and India, countries that developed nuclear weapons on the sly, Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty. Countries that sign this treaty have the right to develop nuclear energy. The International Atomic Energy Agency monitors their energy programs to guard against the programs being used to cloak a weapons program. Until the Bush regime provoked a crisis, Iran was cooperating with the inspection safeguards. The weapons inspectors have found no Iranian weapons programs.

There is no evidence for the Bush regime's accusation that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. What the Bush regime is trying to do is to unilaterally take away Iran's right under the non-proliferation treaty to develop nuclear energy. It is the Bush regime that is violating the treaty by attempting to deny its benefits to Iran. The Bush regime is acting illegally because of its paranoid suspicion that 5 or 10 years in the future Iran will use what it has managed to learn about uranium enrichment to develop a weapons program.

Why is the Bush regime concerned about what Iran might do in the future? Is it because the US government intends to continue its bullying in the MIddle East and is worried that Iran will get tired of it and develop nuclear weapons as a check on US hegemony over the Muslim world? Why does the Bush regime think that its interest in the Middle East takes priority over the interests of the countries that are located there?

In a CNN TV interview on Sunday May 21, the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said that it was only a matter of months before Iran would be making nuclear weapons.

Olmert's claim is absurd as every weapons expert knows, and, indeed, as he knows himself. The only possible purpose of such a nonsensical claim is propaganda. Olmert is helping the Bush regime use fear to prepare Americans to accept an attack on Iran, just as Dick Cheney and Condi Rice invoked images of mushroom clouds to prepare Americans for the illegal invasion of Iraq.

One might think that having been deceived by the Bush regime over Iraq, the American people would have their eyes open to deception this time around. But apparently not. The same public that gives Bush a mere 30% approval rating, largely because of the Iraqi fiasco, is making no demands that Bush stop his march to war with Iran.

Not a day passes without new threats and lies issuing from Dick Cheney, Bonkers Bolton, and Condi Rice, and no one holds them accountable. The US media is proud to be complicit in lies and war crimes.

Ah, but the Iranian president said that he was going to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth."

He did not. He said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the Middle East in the sense of being removed to Europe. He was making the rhetorical point that if the Europeans so favored a Jewish state, why did the Westerners not give the Jews part of Europe or North America? Why did they give the Jews Palestine, which was not theirs to give?

One may agree or disagree with the Iranian's point, but it was not a threat to kill the Jews.

The Iranians cannot kill the Jews even if they wanted, because Israel has nuclear weapons. Being somewhat paranoid--not altogether without reason--Israel is not going to sit there and be destroyed.

The US cannot forever dominate the Middle East in behalf of its interests and Israel's. The US is running out of resources. The US is heavily in debt, yet continues to hemorrhage red ink. Washington is dependent on foreigners to finance its wars. Offshoring has diminished America's ability to manufacture. The US is now dependent on China for advanced technology products and on Europe and Asia for manufactured goods. The American middle class is beginning to experience employment problems and income stagnation. The neocons' idea that the US can patrol Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Syria in perpetuity is insane. The Bush regime has proven that the US cannot even occupy Baghdad.

Unless the US government intends nuclear genocide against Muslims, it cannot prevail in war in the MIddle East. A solution in the Middle East requires diplomacy and good will, not threats and aggression. Yet, the Bush regime refuses to even meet with Iranian leaders.

By refusing to meet, talk, and negotiate, Bush is telling Iranians that they have no choice. Either they comply and do what Bush demands, or they will be attacked.

That is the Iranian Crisis in a nutshell.

An illegal alien who can legally sue

Sunday, May 21, 2006

By MIKE KELLY



VICTOR MANUEL CABALLERO says he only wanted a decent job when he sneaked across the border from Mexico five years ago. Thanks to a ruling last week by the state Supreme Court, he has achieved a special American status even though he still lives here illegally:


He can collect damages for being hurt in an auto accident.

We hear much these days about illegal immigrants -- how desperate they are for good jobs here, how many risk their lives to slip across the border, how so many now hope to pursue their lives in America with some measure of forgiveness and amnesty even though they clearly violated immigration laws.

The case of Victor Manuel Cabellero falls into a whole new zone of troubles. He not only lives here illegally; the state Supreme Court has now opened a legal door for him and other undocumented immigrants to collect from a special state fund set up to protect anyone hurt in a car accident with an uninsured driver.

To put it another way: Victor Caballero may not have the legal right to actually live in New Jersey, but New Jersey says he has the legal right to receive generous benefits for being here.

Go figure.

If nothing else, Caballero's story illustrates how meaningless immigration laws are and how inept our government has become in dealing with this problem.

He was 17 when he left his native Mexico and illegally crossed into the United States in early 2001. He went first to Los Angeles, then bought a ticket on a commercial flight to New Jersey and headed for the Shore town of Bradley Beach.

This was hardly a haphazard trip. According to court papers, Caballero had carefully planned his travel itinerary – not unusual for illegal immigrants.

Caballero's cousins lived in Bradley Beach. Indeed, Caballero's brother, Sandro, had already made the trek from Mexico to Bradley Beach in 1996, and his father followed – illegally -- three years later, settling in nearby Belmar. Caballero's mother arrived in 2003, also illegally, court papers say.

When Victor arrived, he moved into an apartment with Sandro and two cousins. Victor quickly got a job in a restaurant. But after two months, he moved up to a computer repair job, earning around $400 a week.

That may not seem like much, but in Mexico, Caballero was making only $6 a day. The computer job was not easy either. Caballero routinely worked up to 15 hours straight. His day began at 5 a.m., when he would be picked up by a co-worker, 19-year-old Ricardo Martinez.

Only two weeks into the computer job, court papers say, Martinez fell asleep at the wheel one morning. The car veered off the road and struck a parked tractor trailer.

Martinez was lucky -- he walked away from the accident with only cuts and bruises. Caballero was badly hurt, though.

He was transported to the Jersey Shore Medical Center where surgeons repaired injuries to his abdomen and intestines. Caballero stayed a week at the hospital, then needed another six weeks to recover before he could return to work. The cost: $38,300 in medical bills and $1,482 in lost wages.

Caballero had no medical insurance, nor did his family. But that wasn't the end of the problems.

Police and hospital officials turned to Ricardo Martinez, the driver of the car. Would his insurance cover Caballero?

Not a chance.

Martinez was not only driving without car insurance when he hit the tractor-trailer, but his car registration – from Pennsylvania, police say – had expired. Instead of throwing him in jail, cops merely ticketed Martinez and let him go.

And then, things got worse.

Martinez disappeared. Authorities now believe he, too, was living illegally in New Jersey. The difference, of course, was that Caballero had some serious hospital bills to pay.

Caballero's father did what most Americans would do when faced with having to pay bills for an auto accident they did not cause. He called a lawyer.

Caballero's attorney, Victor Covelli of Belmar, says his client was worried that he would be deported when he filed suit against fellow illegal immigrant, Ricardo Martinez. Complicating the issue, Caballero was also suing to collect from a special New Jersey fund for anyone injured in an accident with an uninsured driver. But like those police who handled the accident and let Martinez go with only a traffic ticket, court officers looked the other way and did not arrest and deport Caballero when he testified in his lawsuit.

Caballero lost twice, when courts ruled he was not a legal resident and therefore had no right to the special accident fund. But last week, the state Supreme Court ruled in his favor, declaring him a resident even though he was here illegally.

How did the Supreme Court reach such a conclusion? Well, consider this line of reasoning from the opinion authored by Supreme Court Justice James Zazzali:

"We recognize the apparent paradox that exists when an undocumented alien intends to remain in this state but that alien, because of his or her illegal status, is subject to deportation at any time ... The fact that an undocumented alien may some day be forced to return to his or her homeland does not necessarily defeat the intent to remain. That is especially true in light of the uncertain nature of deportation."

In other words, the fact that Caballero reached New Jersey makes him a resident, even though he broke the law to get here. Maybe Justice Zazzali and the entire Supreme Court should consider a class in remedial logic.

Victor Manuel Caballero is now 23. His lawyer will not divulge his address, only saying that that Caballero now lives with his girlfriend and their baby "in the Lakewood area" and still works at the computer repair shop. Because of the auto accident, Caballero cannot lift heavy computers, cannot run, has trouble sleeping, and cannot eat "some foods that he enjoyed before the accident," the Supreme Court ruled.

The $38,300 bill from the medical bill was paid by a special hospital charity fund. So why is Caballero suing?

His lawyer says the Supreme Court ruling makes him eligible to collect up to $15,000 -- for pain and suffering.

Welcome to America.

Welcome To Mexico!

5-18-6


The following is from a director with Southwestern Bell living in Mexico City:

I spent five years working in Mexico. I worked under a tourist visa for three months and could legally renew it for three more months. After that you were working illegally. I was technically illegal for three weeks waiting on the FM3 approval. During that six months our Mexican and US attorneys were working to secure a permanent work visa called an FM3. It was in addition to my US passport that I had to show each time I entered and left the country.

Barbara's was the same except hers did not permit her to work. To apply for the FM3 I needed to submit the following notarized originals (not copies) of my:

1. Birth certificates for Barbara and me.

2. Marriage certificate.

3. High school transcripts and proof of graduation.

4. College transcripts for every college I attended and proof of graduation.

5. Two letters of recommendation from supervisors I had worked for at least one year.

6. A letter from The St. Louis Chief of Police indicating I had no arrest record in the US and no outstanding warrants and was "a citizen in good standing."

7. Finally; I had to write a letter about myself that clearly stated why there was no Mexican citizen with my skills and why my skills were important to Mexico. We called it our "I am the greatest person on earth" letter. It was fun to write.

All of the above were in English that had to be translated into Spanish and be certified as legal translations and our signatures notarized. It produced a folder about 1.5 inches thick with English on the left side and Spanish on the right.

Once they were completed Barbara and I spent about five hours accompanied by a Mexican attorney touring Mexican government office locations and being photographed and fingerprinted at least three times.

At each location (and we remember at least four locations) we were instructed on Mexican tax, labor, housing, and criminal law and that we were required to obey their laws or face the consequences. We could not protest any of the government's actions or we would be committing a felony.

We paid out four thousand dollars in fees and bribes to complete the process.

When this was done we could legally bring in our household goods that were held by US customs in Laredo Texas. This meant we rented furniture in Mexico while awaiting our goods. There were extensive fees involved here that the company paid. We could not buy a home and were required to rent at very high rates and under contract and compliance with Mexican law. We were required to get a Mexican drivers license. This was an amazing process.

The company arranged for the licensing agency to come to our headquarters location with their photography and finger print equipment and the laminating machine. We showed our US license, were photographed and fingerprinted again and issued the license instantly after paying out a six dollar fee. We did not take a written or driving test and never received instructions on the rules of the road.

Our only instruction was never give a policeman your license if stopped and asked. We were instructed to hold it against the inside window away from his grasp. If he got his hands on it you would have to pay ransom to get it back.

We then had to pay and file Mexican income tax annually using the number of our FM3 as our ID number. The company's Mexican accountants did this for us and we just signed what they prepared. I was about twenty legal-size pages annually.

The FM 3 was good for three years and renewable for two more after paying more fees. Leaving the country meant turning in the FM 3 and certifying we were leaving no debts behind and no outstanding legal affairs (warrants, tickets or liens) before our household goods were released to customs.

It was a real adventure and If any of our senators or congressmen went through it once they would have a different attitude toward Mexico. The Mexican Government uses its vast military and police forces to keep its citizens intimidated and compliant. They never protest at their White House or government offices but do protest daily in front of the United States Embassy.

The US embassy looks like a strongly reinforced fortress and during most protests the Mexican Military surround the block with their men standing shoulder to shoulder in full riot gear to protect the Embassy. These protests are never shown on US or Mexican TV. There is a large public park across the street where they do their protesting. Anything can cause a protest such as proposed law changes in California or Texas.

Please feel free to share this with everyone who thinks we are being too hard on illegal immigrants.

The WAR On US Is Here

By Jim Kirwan
5-12-6

Tens of millions of phone calls, indeed all the phone calls made by US citizens, have been monitored by the government since 2001. This is the largest data bank ever compiled in history and it involves trillions upon trillions of conversations that have been illegally monitored by this government, in service to the Corporatocracy that runs our lives. The phone companies must answer for this invasion of privacy and explain their willingness to violate the Constitutional protections of the Fourth Amendment, along with the provisions of 1978 law governing spying of US citizens. Government says in one breath that they are being selective, in the next breath they say that all conversations of every American have been monitored. This constitutes WAR upon all the citizens of the USA. This was meant to be a secret war, until USA Today broke the story ­ now the government and all the corporations that colluded in this vicious attack upon us all, must be called to account in public for this crime!

The US is facing a cloak and dagger attack on all fronts by major corporations that have held their hidden agendas for over a hundred years. Corporate interests have been at stake in every war we've had since the First World War and the Corporatocracy has been funding both sides of all the major conflicts since about 1914. With this latest revelation it is clear that the USA was the original target all along. This is a war without principles or human values. It's being waged to establish unilateral control over everyone and everything and that needs to change!

It should be noted that on March 17, 2003 Bush hired "the former head of the KGB (the secret police of the former Soviet Union), General Yevgeni Primakov," as a consultant to the US Department of Homeland Security.
Primakov joined another Russian, Oleg Kalugin, KGB (Ret) with the Department of State Security, also as a part of Homeland Security. On January 1, 2005 Kalugin was replaced with the infamous and sinister Silver Fox himself (his former CIA code name), Gen. Markus Wolf. "Wolf was the head of the international intelligence gathering arm (HVA) of East Germany's Ministry for State Security, or Stasi." This went a long way toward perfecting the spying and wiretapping of the entire USA, and insured that Americans would become the next victims of State Terrorism ala the USSR and Communist East Germany.

http://www.kirwanesque.com/politics/articles/2005/art13.htm

Corporate conspiracies were thwarted back when they were the Robber-Barons: Back when there were no rights for women, for slaves, for children, or for workers. There were rights but only for major players that held nearly total power over all that worked for them. There were Wildcat strikes, and a rebellion that was only deflected when government intervened to create protections and perks for those who had to work to live. Over the last four decades those protections and guarantees have been systematically destroyed, so that Americans are again virtually defenseless against the NEW Robber-Barons behind their corporate shields.

The USA; began with a Mega-Holocaust against the native population that lasted over 400 years and killed in excess of 50 million people. There was also Mexico and the Philippines. All that blood and death became the real foundation for this nation. These actions were each supported by America's claim to "special considerations," under either "Manifest Destiny" or The Monroe Doctrine: each of which claimed special rights for America. The rights to life or liberty for those we slaughtered had no standing because American Colonial aspirations were at stake: Very reminiscent of what is happening in Palestine now. Fast forward to the latest unilaterally declared wars and we can see that the whole project has moved from past wars on others in this Hemisphere ­ to finally become what it always was ­ a War upon the World!

With the illegal and unilateral war on Iraq, the excesses of war itself have risen a thousand fold and have increased the elite's ability to shatter laws at will to complete their power grab unchallenged. The communications corporations that did the spying did so eagerly, because it was part of how they fit into the overall plan. In the last three to four decades, the US unleashed a new series of wars throughout this Hemisphere, to strengthen American diplomacy, by invasion and regime-change, by the casual use of death squads, and by an ever-increasing perversion of national economies that used the IMF and the World Bank ­ to destroy sovereignty throughout the region. Under cover of 'The Cold War' and the exaggeration of a Communist threat this was only practice ­ for what was yet to come.

Many, if not all the American officials involved in the brutal Hemispheric wars of the late 1970's and 80's ­ Iran-Contra, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador, the guns for drugs and the weapons for Hostages fiasco's ­ resurfaced in this Bush administration, to direct this War upon America. Those of us who fought in the Reagan years first thought that those who were convicted were dead and buried politically. Then under Bush II, the dead were resurrected to be major players in the barbarity of the New World Order in Iraq, in Palestine and in Afghanistan, and in all that is slated to follow. This can be stopped if these retreads from the 1980's are barred from government jobs and publicly investigated for what they've been doing for Bush and the Corporatocracy.

This administration and its sponsors apparently need Special-Ops people like Elliott Abrams to oversee Middle Eastern affairs, despite his pleading guilty to a federal crime during the Reagan years. There also was Otto Reich, accused of running an unlawful domestic propaganda operation for Reagan; he was tapped as a special envoy. Bush also recruited Adm. John Poindexter, convicted of various federal crimes stemming from his service as national security adviser to Reagan. Poindexter was chosen by Bush to head the controversial Total Information Awareness data-mining project, an operation viewed as so dangerous to privacy and civil liberties that it was formally stopped by Congress. Most of the convictions obtained were overturned by presidential pardons.

There was also John Negroponte, accused of shielding human-rights violations. unlawfully supporting the Nicaraguan contras, and overseeing death squads. After Negroponte's stint as ambassador to the United Nations, Bush made him the director of national intelligence. Likewise, then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales was accused of writing the infamous "torture memo" that not only approved of forms of torture but also suggested that the president could violate federal law. Gonzales was later made attorney general. And former CIA Director George Tenet was accused of the most serious intelligence blunders of the century. It was Tenet who gave Bush the excuse to invade Iraq by stating that the presence of weapons of mass destruction was a "slam dunk." Bush gave Tenet the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. And of course there are many more including Oliver North and Richard Armitage, a former undersecretary of Defense, and former assistant to Colin Powell, along with John Bolten, Richard Pearle and a whole host of others. Reagan's polices in Latin America were approaching major criminal charges and crimes against humanity when Poppy Bush stepped in to pardoned the convicted and seal the records.

When people of the United States gave up their citizenship to become "consumers"- the stage was set for complete capitulation to whatever might follow. The Corporatocracy is "successful" because they are not bound by any need for self-responsibility, or the public good ­ their only obligation is to profits, for the shareholders of course. Corporations are private constructs with human privileges. People have to face consequences for their actions, while corporations only need worry about market share. Their solution to staying profitable is to control the monopolies they created to eliminate choice; so that whatever happens ­ the public must turn to them and continue to buy whatever they are selling ­ the oil and gas industry, medicine, insurance, drugs, or the communications acts that have stolen the airwaves that "the people" owned ­ until the Corporations turned them into Big-Brother Incorporated ­ personified!

This new revelation of massive spying on everyone in the country just confirms the truth beneath the lies ­ read the financial particulars in the Patriot Acts, as they pertain to what government can do with your bank accounts. If they find "anything suspicious" in your life -- they can seize your bank accounts -- and there is nothing you can do about it, because of National Security. This is why they want to tap the phones of every American ­ so the government can build a profile and then arrange for that to match whatever they want to charge you with. The Corporatocracy has long-since become a law unto itself. Now they've added their own private armies, inside the war zones; without military or civilian oversight of their mercenary activities.

Private armies form the second largest component of troops in Iraq. With this kind of corporate involvement on the ground, under cover of 'security'; when there is a split between the military and private corporate purposes under Bush ­ it's the corporate agenda that usually wins. Non-responsible mercenaries do whatever they are told by those who pay them. They wear US uniforms, but do not answer to military or civilian authorities. Corporations also decide who they should ask for help, with whatever they're interested in at the moment. Here's one example from inside Iraq ­ specifically Abu Ghraib. http://www.counterpunch.org/madsen05102004.html

The Corporatocracy is raking in those hundreds of billions that are being spent on the wars (6 billion a month now), and the reconstruction that isn't, on the Gulf Coast here. They designed US policies to ensure that their profits will never be interrupted, by either wars or natural disasters. All that money in the secret, no-bid, sole-source contracts, and virtually no responsibility for anything that happens ­ no wonder they want the troops to stay. No questions and no real investigations! They OWN the Congress, the Department of Justice and the Courts, and they have a revolving-door arrangement with the White House. The only way they lose is IF the public brings down these sweetheart deals with those private corporations, and imposes corporate responsibilities that could revoke corporate charters and force the reorganization of their corporations! Guilty executives should be banned from ever holding a management position in any business ­ IF and after ­ they ever get out of Folsom or Attica!

Ordinary people need to re-claim their citizenship and participate as citizenship requires. Americans should downgrade 'consumerism' from its position at the top of their lives to its real place well below those considerations that are about freedom and life and real possibilities in the world. The mayor of Salt Lake City said this:
http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_international&
Number=294615694&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21&part=

It may sound insane to suggest that people could leave themselves open to enslavement by something as "American" as "consumerism:" That might be the case, unless one looks at how employees of those corporations are treated each and everyday. The evermore stringent control over employees, job-security, wages, retirement, and health-care, the list is long and includes monitoring not only of phone calls but of the private lives of employees as well. But it's what those corporations do that is where the real threat lies! Corporations have been spending furiously to patent seeds and plants, and trees around the world. They've undertaken plans to buy out local farmers or force them off their land - to virtually gain control of all the land and whatever can be done upon that land, from farming to drilling to clear-cutting or grazing ­ it will be their choice. They want to privatize the fresh water supply for the planet, while they try to corner worldwide markets for energy in all its forms. Timber, raw minerals of all kinds ­ nothing has escaped the greed of these faceless entities that say they want to kill four billion people, just to remake the world into something they can manage. For those who doubt the role of corporations in controlling the American public; have a look at this short piece of police footage from Seattle ­ and think again about who is really preventing free-speech and who indeed controls your rights!
http://www.earthfiles.de/forum/start.php?OTMP=/topic%3D106575263503

This began with those who claimed a special status over all others in the world. Whether that's the Jews today in Palestine or the Americans with the "Manifest Destiny" they gave themselves so long ago. It is more than possible that these views are only the by-product of a mind-set: A partial view that sees and believes whatever it wants, in order to 'create their own realities.' When challenged 'special people' usually demand 'the right to create that world they have envisioned for themselves.' What they won't tolerate are all those laws and precepts that would create a world in which there is a possibility; for love & life to co-exist with war & death. Never-ending wars against a circumstance of terror can never be a purpose for existence. We must find ways to learn to live together once again ­ or most of us shall die alone ­ together.

Realizations of the oft-considered kind could lead to real control over these wildly irresponsible corporations: The corporate shells that we've allowed to rule our dreams, our lives and even our most private thoughts must be destroyed by rules and regulations! People must begin to re-examine the reasons, or lack thereof, for all this death and open-ended war. People need to question how much of their lives they really own ­ and how much of their lives they should give to something as cold and brutal as the Corporatocracy; be that in purchases from them, by way of products or services or in allegiances given ­ either by force of need ­ or by willing cooperation. Every aspect of these monstrous creations should be rethought. If that happens then people will stand against the steel fist of corporate-dictatorship that is so thinly veiled beneath the tattered shreds of what was once a velvet glove that promised ­ a consumer's paradise ­ in exchange, of course, for all else that might have ever mattered to you. . .

Why Are Christians Such Wimps?

Why Are
Christians Such Wimps?
'The Da Vinci Code'
By Henry Makow PhD
5-14-6

When an innocuous cartoon of the Prophet Mohamed was published, Muslims rioted and burned down embassies. But next week, a major Hollywood movie will challenge the veracity of Jesus Christ and Christians are sitting on their hands.

I have not read "The Da Vinci Code" but I understand it asserts that Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children. His descendants are still alive. Essentially it challenges the Bible story and the Christian belief that Christ was the Son of God. It transfers Christ's prestige to an Illuminati-like secret society that is protecting Christ's descendants against the Catholic Church.

The book and movie are yet another blasphemous assault on Christianity trumpeted by the full force of the Illuminati-owned mass media.

Recently Carolyn, a Christian reader from Maine, expressed her frustration in this email.

"Next week with 'the Da Vinci code,' "They" are going to call Jesus a liar as far as His Death and resurrection are concerned. Then they are going to claim his blue blood line. This would make Jesus a liar... wouldn't it? It is so twisted what they are selling and i count myself lucky to have a least read The Scriptures. 'My Feet Are Fitted With Readiness.' (Corinthians 6:15) What is going to be said about Jesus next week is apostasy."

I replied: "People like you should show their outrage publicly."

She replied: "HOW??? With Whom??? Where is the Remnant???"

I shrugged my shoulders. To change the metaphor, why are Christians such lambs? Why do they always need a shepherd to lead them and a flock to be part of? Isn't Christ a personal matter? Can't they act as individuals? Can't they take initiative? Organize a picket or protest in some other imaginative way?

When Muslims in Afghanistan heard that the Koran was being flushed down the toilet in far away Guantanamo Bay, they rioted. For them the battle against Satan is very real, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives. This is why they pose the last remaining religious obstacle to the Satanic New World Order.

Similarly, question the details of the Holocaust, and Jews will cite "hate crimes" and put you in jail.

But do the same thing with the central fact of Christianity and there is a call for a boycott from the Catholic Church. Well, dah. That's not very scary.

Why are Christians such pussies? They sat idly by while Christ was crucified! Their reaction wasn't even a factor in that decision.

I have heard various explanations. Christ said, "Turn the other cheek" and "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's."

On the other hand, there is the example of Christ turning over the tables of the moneychangers in the temple. Let's follow Christ's example.

What good are Christian beliefs if you don't stand up for them? Where is the self-respect of Christians if they allow their beliefs to be trampled on?

But it gets worse. Some so-called Christians like George W. Bush actually serve Satan. He is a member of a satanic secret society, the Illuminati Skull and Bones. http://www.savethemales.ca/000166.html

Christian chaplains serve with the American army in Iraq and minister to soldiers. Everyone should know Sept. 11 was a hoax designed to justify imperialist wars and domestic repression.("hoax" http://www.policestateplanning.com/loose_change_ii.htm)

It was perpetrated by the Illuminati bankers in London with the help of their puppets in the US government. You just have to look at who bought the Put Options on the airline stock to know the true perpetrators. (Of course this info has been suppressed.)

Christians should file "hate crime" law suits against the makers of the "Da Vinci Code." On the Judgment Day we will be graded NOT by what we believed but by what we did. It's time Christians stood up for Christ.
