Between the lines - what the mainstream
press isn't telling us
http://www.rense.com/general45/drk.htm
Natalie Bracht is still believed to be on the run with her five daughters and expresses her fears here that she may be 'suicided'. In other words that some intelligence service or other 'higher' group than Northumbria police may know exactly where she is, playing her a sick sort of cat and mouse game. Whether she deserves to be accused of being a potential child murderer as Sunderland social services have done... and separated from her five children we shall probably never know due to the chilling secrecy of the Family Courts and the High Court judge that issued the Recovery Order for the children. Much of what Northumbria police have had to say about her case, such as her first husband denying that he is a Mossad nuclear scientist when Natalie said her second husband was, does not add up. This communique was written on 23rd June 2008 before the High Court Recovery Order was issued and the photograph of Natalie and four of the girls taken in Shoreditch on 4th June 2008. All who have met her whilst she's been 'on the run' seem to agree that the only real threat to the children comes from injustices of Sunderland Social Services and the High Court. Such as the exclusion by said Social Services of all and any supportive professional voices from Natalies' case conferences.
by Natalie Bracht - Monday 23rd June 2008
This is a response to the ‘missing’ appeal in the British media as well as the poster campaign to find the missing mum and her five daughters from Sunderland
Now, in the beginning, my name is Natalie Bracht and I’m the mother of five lovely kids. I’m 33 and my children are between 5 and 13.
We are not only Germans but also British citizens. Not that this is important to us but to correct errors in the press and police records.
We have been reading the Northumbria police ‘missing’ appeal in many different newspapers, from television news and the BBC website
We found ourselves described as people ‘on the run’.
On the run from whom? ...well they don’t explain that part, do they?
Honestly they don’t say anything, apart from that we are missing and that the kids haven’t been to school for more than a week and have been separated from their friends and that this is certainly not good for them.
hmmm
And that they don’t know where we are.
hmmm
And that they are concerned about the safety of my children.
hmmm
Now, I don’t believe that anybody, especially the so-called ‘counterparts’ who are working very closely with the police - are concerned about the safety of my children at all.
[Natalie describes the secret network of those she believes are harassing her as ‘the counterparts’]
Because I’m described as a person with a personality disorder and emotional and narcissistic behaviour. In short, totally mad and mental, according to a so-called independent psychiatrist - who has been organised through one of the ‘counterparts’.
I’m also not aware of the mental history they claim for me.
So why do they claim?
Now, just in case you are ‘mental’ enough outside there, you might understand.
This is also a message to all the thousands of parents in this country whose children have been wrongly taken away by Britain’s corruptly installed family court system.
And as you have read before I’m mad and mental. I say that their power to do so is coming from a very well known society in this country.
[Natalie mentioned freemasonry in the previous hour long interview I recorded with her which is available on the web – ed.]
Anyway, I have no intention of letting them use my five daughters and therefore we are ‘on a run’.
Now, facing the mastermind of a surveillance system in London I was, we can say forced, to use some camouflage for me and my daughters.
And yes, we have been successful.
Yes, we also disconnected our mobile.
And we didn’t use our bank account.
All because I’m so mad?
We changed our outfits - not because of a personality disorder - but simply to find a way to keep the kids safe.
I hereby congratulate the reporter of The Sun who put me down as a Muslim mother and Kings Cross and hiding and so on - well this is The Sun.
I also understand that in the media it is believed that I have visited the central mosque in Regent’s Park.
Is it confirmed?
Now, let me help you, I have in fact visited the ICCUK many times in the last 2 years.
And I’m sure this is well known to ‘the counterparts’.
Taking into account that everything that goes in or out of Regent’s Park mosque is miraculously shared immediately
So why is it that certain people cannot be touched by the law?
Well, I have to admit that I often ask my self, and there are more and more people who ask the same question: What happens to all the children who are put through forced adoption process?
Why an increasing number of kids? In certain parts of Britain mostly white children, very young.
Hmmmm?
Why is it so easy to take away children from their parents?
What is the purpose of so much secrecy in the family courts?
And what is happening inside them?
Why are the parents silenced, and threatened to be imprisoned when they start to talk about this?
Is this why most people don’t know this goes on?
Talk to Journalist Brian Morgan in Cardiff about the effect of this on his freedom of speech.
What kind of children are they interested in?
And who are ‘they’?
Well, coming back to my kids, they had a good attendance at school and good school reports. They were a pleasure to teach.
No emotional difficulties at all.
Clean, well fed, happy, interested, according to the school reports.
But social services say I am ‘emotionally abusing’ them because I said bad things to my children about social services in Sunderland.
I see.
Well, there was also a very dangerous way of interviewing my children through social services or ‘counterparts’ who were using my children to get information about my family.
Passed on to different agencies in Britain.
And I don’t like my children being interrogated.
I call this ‘emotional abuse’ of them and I also think I have to protect them from this.
Maybe because I’m a narcissistic mother?
And I’m also ‘mad’ because I wanted my children’s fingerprints to be removed from their database.
For anyone who hasn’t heard about this: in some schools they take the children’s fingerprints instead of their name when the kids want to borrow a book out of the library.
Now I don’t like that.
Because I’m having a ‘paranoid’ world view according to the ‘independent’ psychiatrist who is connected to a certain community in Britain. Incidentally, the same as most of the other people who are making allegations against us. [freemasonry again? – ed.]
Now, the connection between this community and the media as well as the court systems and ‘Labour Friends’ is by now known, to a certain extent.
Yes, we are in hiding.
No, we will not be silenced.
Yes, I have a connection to people who know about these things.
Yes, they are sheltering us.
And the number of people affected by this is increasing
And the number of adoptions as well.
Now, they have destroyed my existence.
Dirtied my name,
We were facing emotional harassment, all of us.
Through the British state institutions
No more freedom at all.
My family lost all our privacy, absolutely no liberty left.
A normal live was made impossible for us. We were treated like criminals.
Until today.
Now we may be surprised to see what is coming next. Looking at the present political climate maybe are developing into suspects. Or suicide victims. Or whatever.
Names on a list in the controlled media systems.
For now though I would like to say that it is a very relaxing time we are having without these people around us.
The children are enjoying themselves, doing all the things they like to do without the feeling that they are being watched or immediately reported.
I also would like to use the opportunity, and the kids as well, to send greetings to my aunt in the Netherlands and to let her know we are fine and the kids are recovering from all this and are very happy.
I’m also asking the German authorities to watch this case from a different view point.

Global Research, May 2, 2008
The price of crude oil today is not made according to any traditional relation of supply to demand. It’s controlled by an elaborate financial market system as well as by the four major Anglo-American oil companies. As much as 60% of today’s crude oil price is pure speculation driven by large trader banks and hedge funds. It has nothing to do with the convenient myths of Peak Oil. It has to do with control of oil and its price. How?
First, the crucial role of the international oil exchanges in London and New York is crucial to the game. Nymex in New York and the ICE Futures in London today control global benchmark oil prices which in turn set most of the freely traded oil cargo. They do so via oil futures contracts on two grades of crude oil—West Texas Intermediate and North Sea Brent.
A third rather new oil exchange, the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME), trading Dubai crude, is more or less a daughter of Nymex, with Nymex President, James Newsome, sitting on the board of DME and most key personnel British or American citizens.
Brent is used in spot and long-term contracts to value as much of crude oil produced in global oil markets each day. The Brent price is published by a private oil industry publication, Platt’s. Major oil producers including Russia and Nigeria use Brent as a benchmark for pricing the crude they produce. Brent is a key crude blend for the European market and, to some extent, for Asia.
WTI has historically been more of a US crude oil basket. Not only is it used as the basis for US-traded oil futures, but it's also a key benchmark for US production.
‘The tail that wags the dog’
All this is well and official. But how today’s oil prices are really determined is done by a process so opaque only a handful of major oil trading banks such as Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley have any idea who is buying and who selling oil futures or derivative contracts that set physical oil prices in this strange new world of “paper oil.”
With the development of unregulated international derivatives trading in oil futures over the past decade or more, the way has opened for the present speculative bubble in oil prices.
Since the advent of oil futures trading and the two major London and New York oil futures contracts, control of oil prices has left OPEC and gone to Wall Street. It is a classic case of the “tail that wags the dog.”
A June 2006 US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report on “The Role of Market Speculation in rising oil and gas prices,” noted, “…there is substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that the large amount of speculation in the current market has significantly increased prices.”
What the Senate committee staff documented in the report was a gaping loophole in US Government regulation of oil derivatives trading so huge a herd of elephants could walk through it. That seems precisely what they have been doing in ramping oil prices through the roof in recent months.
The Senate report was ignored in the media and in the Congress.
The report pointed out that the Commodity Futures Trading Trading Commission, a financial futures regulator, had been mandated by Congress to ensure that prices on the futures market reflect the laws of supply and demand rather than manipulative practices or excessive speculation. The US Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) states, “Excessive speculation in any commodity under contracts of sale of such commodity for future delivery . . . causing sudden or unreasonable fluctuations or unwarranted changes in the price of such commodity, is an undue and unnecessary burden on interstate commerce in such commodity.”
Further, the CEA directs the CFTC to establish such trading limits “as the Commission finds are necessary to diminish, eliminate, or prevent such burden.” Where is the CFTC now that we need such limits?
They seem to have deliberately walked away from their mandated oversight responsibilities in the world’s most important traded commodity, oil.
Enron has the last laugh…
As that US Senate report noted:
“Until recently, US energy futures were traded exclusively on regulated exchanges within the United States, like the NYMEX, which are subject to extensive oversight by the CFTC, including ongoing monitoring to detect and prevent price manipulation or fraud. In recent years, however, there has been a tremendous growth in the trading of contracts that look and are structured just like futures contracts, but which are traded on unregulated OTC electronic markets. Because of their similarity to futures contracts they are often called “futures look-alikes.”
The only practical difference between futures look-alike contracts and futures contracts is that the look-alikes are traded in unregulated markets whereas futures are traded on regulated exchanges. The trading of energy commodities by large firms on OTC electronic exchanges was exempted from CFTC oversight by a provision inserted at the behest of Enron and other large energy traders into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 in the waning hours of the 106th Congress.
The impact on market oversight has been substantial. NYMEX traders, for example, are required to keep records of all trades and report large trades to the CFTC. These Large Trader Reports, together with daily trading data providing price and volume information, are the CFTC’s primary tools to gauge the extent of speculation in the markets and to detect, prevent, and prosecute price manipulation. CFTC Chairman Reuben Jeffrey recently stated: “The Commission’s Large Trader information system is one of the cornerstones of our surveillance program and enables detection of concentrated and coordinated positions that might be used by one or more traders to attempt manipulation.”
In contrast to trades conducted on the NYMEX, traders on unregulated OTC electronic exchanges are not required to keep records or file Large Trader Reports with the CFTC, and these trades are exempt from routine CFTC oversight. In contrast to trades conducted on regulated futures exchanges, there is no limit on the number of contracts a speculator may hold on an unregulated OTC electronic exchange, no monitoring of trading by the exchange itself, and no reporting of the amount of outstanding contracts (“open interest”) at the end of each day.” 1
Then, apparently to make sure the way was opened really wide to potential market oil price manipulation, in January 2006, the Bush Administration’s CFTC permitted the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the leading operator of electronic energy exchanges, to use its trading terminals in the United States for the trading of US crude oil futures on the ICE futures exchange in London – called “ICE Futures.”
Previously, the ICE Futures exchange in London had traded only in European energy commodities – Brent crude oil and United Kingdom natural gas. As a United Kingdom futures market, the ICE Futures exchange is regulated solely by the UK Financial Services Authority. In 1999, the London exchange obtained the CFTC’s permission to install computer terminals in the United States to permit traders in New York and other US cities to trade European energy commodities through the ICE exchange.
The CFTC opens the door
Then, in January 2006, ICE Futures in London began trading a futures contract for
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, a type of crude oil that is produced and delivered in the United States. ICE Futures also notified the CFTC that it would be permitting traders in the United States to use ICE terminals in the United States to trade its new WTI contract on the ICE Futures London exchange. ICE Futures as well allowed traders in the United States to trade US gasoline and heating oil futures on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Despite the use by US traders of trading terminals within the United States to trade US oil, gasoline, and heating oil futures contracts, the CFTC has until today refused to assert any jurisdiction over the trading of these contracts.
Persons within the United States seeking to trade key US energy commodities – US crude oil, gasoline, and heating oil futures – are able to avoid all US market oversight or reporting requirements by routing their trades through the ICE Futures exchange in London instead of the NYMEX in New York.
Is that not elegant? The US Government energy futures regulator, CFTC opened the way to the present unregulated and highly opaque oil futures speculation. It may just be coincidence that the present CEO of NYMEX, James Newsome, who also sits on the Dubai Exchange, is a former chairman of the US CFTC. In Washington doors revolve quite smoothly between private and public posts.
A glance at the price for Brent and WTI futures prices since January 2006 indicates the remarkable correlation between skyrocketing oil prices and the unregulated trade in ICE oil futures in US markets. Keep in mind that ICE Futures in London is owned and controlled by a USA company based in Atlanta Georgia.
In January 2006 when the CFTC allowed the ICE Futures the gaping exception, oil prices were trading in the range of $59-60 a barrel. Today some two years later we see prices tapping $120 and trend upwards. This is not an OPEC problem, it is a US Government regulatory problem of malign neglect.
By not requiring the ICE to file daily reports of large trades of energy commodities, it is not able to detect and deter price manipulation. As the Senate report noted, “The CFTC's ability to detect and deter energy price manipulation is suffering from critical information gaps, because traders on OTC electronic exchanges and the London ICE Futures are currently exempt from CFTC reporting requirements. Large trader reporting is also essential to analyze the effect of speculation on energy prices.”
The report added, “ICE's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other evidence indicate that its over-the-counter electronic exchange performs a price discovery function -- and thereby affects US energy prices -- in the cash market for the energy commodities traded on that exchange.”
Hedge Funds and Banks driving oil prices
In the most recent sustained run-up in energy prices, large financial institutions, hedge funds, pension funds, and other investors have been pouring billions of dollars into the energy commodities markets to try to take advantage of price changes or hedge against them. Most of this additional investment has not come from producers or consumers of these commodities, but from speculators seeking to take advantage of these price changes. The CFTC defines a speculator as a person who “does not produce or use the commodity, but risks his or her own capital trading futures in that commodity in hopes of making a profit on price changes.”
The large purchases of crude oil futures contracts by speculators have, in effect, created an
additional demand for oil, driving up the price of oil for future delivery in the same manner that additional demand for contracts for the delivery of a physical barrel today drives up the price for oil on the spot market. As far as the market is concerned, the demand for a barrel of oil that results from the purchase of a futures contract by a speculator is just as real as the demand for a barrel that results from the purchase of a futures contract by a refiner or other user of petroleum.
Perhaps 60% of oil prices today pure speculation
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley today are the two leading energy trading firms in the United States. Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase are major players and fund numerous hedge funds as well who speculate.
In June 2006, oil traded in futures markets at some $60 a barrel and the Senate investigation estimated that some $25 of that was due to pure financial speculation. One analyst estimated in August 2005 that US oil inventory levels suggested WTI crude prices should be around $25 a barrel, and not $60.
That would mean today that at least $50 to $60 or more of today’s $115 a barrel price is due to pure hedge fund and financial institution speculation. However, given the unchanged equilibrium in global oil supply and demand over recent months amid the explosive rise in oil futures prices traded on Nymex and ICE exchanges in New York and London it is more likely that as much as 60% of the today oil price is pure speculation. No one knows officially except the tiny handful of energy trading banks in New York and London and they certainly aren’t talking.
By purchasing large numbers of futures contracts, and thereby pushing up futures prices to even higher levels than current prices, speculators have provided a financial incentive for oil companies to buy even more oil and place it in storage. A refiner will purchase extra oil today, even if it costs $115 per barrel, if the futures price is even higher.
As a result, over the past two years crude oil inventories have been steadily growing, resulting in US crude oil inventories that are now higher than at any time in the previous eight years. The large influx of speculative investment into oil futures has led to a situation where we have both high supplies of crude oil and high crude oil prices.
Compelling evidence also suggests that the oft-cited geopolitical, economic, and natural factors do not explain the recent rise in energy prices can be seen in the actual data on crude oil supply and demand. Although demand has significantly increased over the past few years, so have supplies.
Over the past couple of years global crude oil production has increased along with the increases in demand; in fact, during this period global supplies have exceeded demand, according to the US Department of Energy. The US Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently forecast that in the next few years global surplus production capacity will continue to grow to between 3 and 5 million barrels per day by 2010, thereby “substantially thickening the surplus capacity cushion.”
Dollar and oil link
A common speculation strategy amid a declining USA economy and a falling US dollar is for speculators and ordinary investment funds desperate for more profitable investments amid the US securitization disaster, to take futures positions selling the dollar “short” and oil “long.”
For huge US or EU pension funds or banks desperate to get profits following the collapse in earnings since August 2007 and the US real estate crisis, oil is one of the best ways to get huge speculative gains. The backdrop that supports the current oil price bubble is continued unrest in the Middle East, in Sudan, in Venezuela and Pakistan and firm oil demand in China and most of the world outside the US. Speculators trade on rumor, not fact.
In turn, once major oil companies and refiners in North America and EU countries begin to hoard oil, supplies appear even tighter lending background support to present prices.
Because the over-the-counter (OTC) and London ICE Futures energy markets are unregulated, there are no precise or reliable figures as to the total dollar value of recent spending on investments in energy commodities, but the estimates are consistently in the range of tens of billions of dollars.
The increased speculative interest in commodities is also seen in the increasing popularity of commodity index funds, which are funds whose price is tied to the price of a basket of various commodity futures. Goldman Sachs estimates that pension funds and mutual funds have invested a total of approximately $85 billion in commodity index funds, and that investments in its own index, the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI), has tripled over the past few years. Notable is the fact that the US Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, is former Chairman of Goldman Sachs.

Beatrix c.s. visits Argentina - Sin vergüenza
Por Henk Ruyssenaars - ex Latin America corresp - Friday, Mar. 31, 2006 at 8:26 AM
fpf@chello.nl (Casilla de correo válida)
While Argentina is a democracy and tries to face her bloody history down in Old Europe there still is a monarchy with a pitch dark past and not so much democratic feelings.
"This can only happen in The Netherlands were the House of Orange has a history of nazi and fascist relationships. While Argentina is a democracy and tries to face her bloody history down in Old Europe there still is a monarchy with a pitch dark past and not so much democratic feelings."
FPF - March 31st, 2006 - Sin vergüenza means No Shame And the incredible insensitivity of the foreign office in The Hague, the Netherlands embassy and ambassador van Houtum in Buenos Aires, with the so called 'royal Oranje family' this week visiting Argentina - beats everything. The abominable arrogance of those crypto-fascists seems to have no limits.
THEY HAVE SUPPORTED EVERY DICTATOR AROUND THE WORLD FOR DECADES AND FOR PROFIT, AND WITH THEIR CLIQUE MANAGE THE NETHERLANDS NOW, LIKE A JUNTA. WATCH THEIR DEEDS, NOT THEIR WORDS!
There are many people in Holland being very ashamed of their brutal behavior, and the fact that they have made Holland an active part of the criminal american PNAC's war machine and it's genocides.
Even if today the national propaganda channels - like RTV-NOS etc. in The Netherlands - are brainwashing the people again in believing the taxes extorting 'House of Oranje' knows what 'human rights' are, the people know better. The fact that this criminal crowd - invited by former president de la Rue, and NOT by President Kirchner - travels around with a well known war criminal as Jorge Zorreguieta, should be proof enough: those Dutch/Oranje people and their collaborators - that includes the media many times - have absolutelutely NO decency nor morals.
BABIES KIDNAPPED FROM THE MURDERED YOUNG PARENTS
They insisted on visiting Argentina in the same week as millions memorized the at least 30.000 disappeared and murdered by the Junta. And the hundreds of babies kidnapped from the murdered young parents, to be given to killers in uniform. Zorreguieta was a minister and should be in jail for his crimes against humanity.
And believe me, I've seen fascism in Latin America, like in Chile when Nobel Literature Prize Laureate Pablo Neruda a couple of days after the Kissinger CIA-coup in September 1973 - as far as I know was killed and saw his house sacked by Pinochet soldiers. Federico Willoughby - the disgusting chilean traitor who had become Pinochet's media megaphone told me: "Those must have been 'bandits' with stolen military uniforms and weapons". Nobody in those days in Chile would even dare to handle a weapon: it was a sure death sentence. Willoughby - who should be in jail for life - was lying as always.
PINOCHET'S PISTOLEROS SILENCED HIM
When I was at Neruda's funeral [http://tinyurl.com/q4c46] most people who were there shared the opinion: even if Neruda had cancer: they killed him. Pinochet's pistoleros silenced him. And I still remember his funeral in Santiago, which became the first public demonstration against the genocide by the US/CIA government, when Kissinger had Salvador Allende whom I knew well had 'suicided': putting Pinochet as henchman on the bloodied throne. That was the same fascism as Videla and Jorge Zorreguieta represented in Argentina.
And in Tres Arroyos which they'll visit today, the 'Clockwork Oranje' group certainly will not visit the Plaza de Memoria: when 50 years ago the now dead grandfather of Beatrix - the by Lockheed bribed Bernhard - started visiting Argentina he supported the fascists, never the people in Argentina.
From an 'angry Dutchman' the FPF received this, and together with the links below that should make clear what normal people in The Netherlands think. The fact that this contributor has to be anonymous should say enough...
Blood on the pampa
BY AN ANGRY DUTCHMAN
In the early fifties of the 20th century the former member of the SS, the former member of the nazi party NSDAP and reigning Prince of The Netherlands went to the Argentinean fascist dictator Peron. In that time Argentina was the homeland for nazis on the run. The Dutch Prince Bernhard met in Argentina several of these nazi refugees. He shook hands in Buenos Aires with the Dutch nazi Sassen. Even though Prince Bernhard spoke excellent Spanish his new friend would translate for his royal companion when there were discussions about shady arms transfers. Later Sassen would become famous for his Eichmann-memoirs. But not only Sassen was a refugee nazi friend in Argentina.
The prince with his black past befriended also the German nazi engineer Kurt Tank who was developing a new jet for the fascist Argentinean regime. Along with prince Bernhard was his good friend Gerben Sonderman who knew from his collaboration past in The Netherlands such a notorious nazi star as Klaus Barbie. Why should we blow away the dust over these old files in which no one is anymore interested?
AS A COVER UP FOR ALL THE BLOODY STORIES
It is quite simple. History repeats itself again. The eldest daughter of prince Bernhard and now reigning monarch of The Netherlands is visiting Argentina. In her slip stream the crown prince Willem-Alexander and his Argentinean wife Maxima Zorreguieta. As a cover up for all the bloody stories which can not be told the royal spin doctors have invented an Anne Frank-show in Buenos Aires. The royal family will visit the exhibition of the German-Jewish refugee who fled from nazi-Germany to The Netherlands but who was betrayed by a not so Jewish-friendly Dutchman of whom there were more then the Orange propaganda machine tells the world.
Why is the Dutch royal family making this strange move?
Just like in the old days of Prince Bernhard and his Argentinean fascist friends there is a new royal problem. Maxima Zorreguieta is the daughter of a man who plotted to overthrow democracy in 1976 and install a fascist military dictatorship in Argentina. This Jorge Zorreguieta represented the mighty big land owners. In the fascist regime he was responsible for agriculture. But although this fascist denies it, he was also because of his collaboration with the fascists responsible for the murder of 30.000 innocent people. Some of them were thrown out of Argentinean planes above the sea and never to be seen by their loved ones.
And now the Dutch government airplane - paid by tax money of ordinary Dutch people - is transporting this man Zorreguieta with blood on his hands for free inside Argentina. On board of the plane of the people of The Netherlands he can chat over champagne with queen Beatrix. This can only happen in such mentally twisted countries as Argentina and The Netherlands. In Argentina people were murdered by a bunch of state criminals.
IN THE NETHERLANDS THE RULING ROYAL HOUSE OF ORANGE IMPORTS WITHOUT ANY MORAL PROBLEM THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THESE ARGENTINEAN MURDERERS.
This can only happen in The Netherlands were the House of Orange has a history of nazi and fascist relationships. While Argentina is a democracy and tries to face her bloody history down in Old Europe there still is a monarchy with a pitch dark past and not so much democratic feelings. [enditem]

A book written by former British intelligence officer John Coleman was recently released in Russia. Coleman details a conspiracy of the world's elite against mankind
Many people no longer believe that presidents, premier ministers and other "visible" officials rule their countries. Instead, they suspect that the real authority – one that is powerful, unwavering and secret – is concentrated in the hands of others. Like the masons for example. The truly paranoid have devised the so-called "International Conspiracy Theory," which tells how a handful of wealthy, highly positioned individuals rule the world. This group of decision-makers launches wars, invents deadly diseases and pumps the population full of narcotics, alcohol and pornography to get rid of the world's dead weight. Consequently, a population of 1 billion select individuals will someday remain. They will freely enjoy the blessings of nature – clean air, freshwater and natural food.
It seems ludicrous, but recently a British intelligence officer from MI6 has asserted that this secret international organization does exist in his book, "The Conspirators Hierarchy: The Committee of Three Hundred."
"During my career as an officer in British intelligence," Coleman writes, "I received access to strictly confidential documents on numerous occasions. Their contents were unexpectedly straightforward. I learned that there are powers that control the governments of many nations. I was taken aback and decided to inform a world living in ignorance. Imagine a powerful group that doesn't recognize any national borders that is involved in the financial, insurance, coal-mining, pharmaceutical and oil industries -- whose members only answer to the group. This is the ‘Committee of Three Hundred,' an elite group that has ruled the world from 1897. Its backbone today is the world's 300 most influential people."
Coleman writes that secret organizations and think tanks work for the Committee of Three Hundred. A list of these institutions follows.
As of 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has consisted of the most influential individuals in the U.S. and Western world, ranging from current and previous presidents to CIA officials. The CFR was established by the American banker J.P. Morgan, and controls the U.S. Federal Reserve system, New York Stock Exchange and leading mass media.
In 1954, the Bilderberg Group held its original conference uniting the American and European elite. (The organization was named after the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek in the Netherlands where the meeting took place.)
In 1973, a third influential structure came into being – the Trilateral Commission – consisting of representatives from the U.S., Europe and Japan. The organization's goal is to "create a mechanism of global planning and long-term repartition of resources."
Since 1968, the Club of Rome has been one of the most important foreign affairs divisions of the Committee of Three Hundred. The organization unites scholars, globalists, futurists and internationalists of various suites. The organization has its own private intelligence agencies and "borrows" information from Interpol, the FSB and Mossad.
The millionaire executive David Rockefeller controls the activities of these organizations.
A short list of periphery organizations lending assistance to these four intelligence giants are: Round Table, David Millner Group, Order of St John, The German Marshall Fund of the United States, The China Fund, Inc., Fabian Society, Black Nobility, Mont Pelerin Society, Hellfire Club and the Masons.
The mother of all international think thanks and research institutions is the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, which is beginning to help the Stanford Research Institute.
Coleman writes that past and present members of the Committee of Three Hundred include the Queen of England, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Queen of Denmark, European royal families, George Bush, Edward Carter, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, Francois Mitterrand, Jean Monet, Ernest Oppenheimer and his heir Henry.
In the mid-1990s, Russia was invited to participate in establishing a single world state.
"Boris Yeltsin adhered to the decrees of the Committee of Three Hundred in an experiment to bind Russia to the will of the ruling elite," writes Coleman.
Coleman describes the new world order as seen by the Committee of Three Hundred.
Leaders: There will be a single world state and monetary system ruled by unelected oligarchs and their royal lineage, who will appoint leaders from their own ranks in a feudal system as existed in the Middle Ages.
Religion: Only one religion will be permitted in the form of a state church. The church has existed secretly since 1920. All Christian churches will be prohibited.
Control: All individuals will have an identification number. The numbers will be entered into a composite file at NATO in Brussels together with details dossiers.
Family: Marriages will be canceled. Children will be taken from their parents at an early age. They will be raised at special institutions like state property. Free sex will be compulsory.
Children: If a woman gets pregnant after having two children, she will be immediately sent for an abortion and sterilization.
Resources: Only members of the Committee of Three Hundred and select individuals will have the right to make use of natural resources. Agriculture will be completely controlled by the Committee of Three Hundred, and food processing will be strictly controlled.
Social Policy: At least 4 billion "useless individuals" will be exterminated by 2050 as a result of territorial wars, organized deadly epidemics, quickly spreading diseases and hunger. Electrical energy, food and water will sufficiently provide for the white population of Western Europe and North America and only later different races. The populations of Canada, Western Europe and the U.S. will decrease more quickly than on other continents until the population reaches the controllable level of 1 billion. Of these individuals, 500 million will be Chinese and Japanese, who will be "chosen" as they have been subject to strict regulations and unquestioningly obeying authorities for centuries.
Coleman asserts that individuals who are party to the single world state are strenuously brainwashing the population, rewriting history, creating ideal individuals and working to decrease the population.
Profiling is a method developed in 1922 by an order of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The method was based on principles similar to today's NLP, which helps to influence people's ideas and decisions. The method was used by Major John Riz, British military specialist, on 80,000 "guinea pigs" from the British Army and prisoners of war, who were subjected to many types of psychological testing. Later, a special brainwashing center for the civil population was established at the University of Sussex. This super-secret organization was called the Institute of Scientific Politics.
The Rockefeller Fund subsidized scholarly work to create an ideal history after the end of World War II, when Anglo-American troops naturally came out the winners.
The Rockefeller Fund is also sponsoring genetic maps of the qualities of the ideal human in closed laboratories on the basis of the genome to grow test-tube geniuses and docile invincible soldiers.
A program regulating the growth of the population was approved at a conference of the world state. Its main goal is to ensure a low birth level in countries outside Western civilization. The program covers 100 countries and utilizes measures such as the forced sterilization of men and women.
Vladimir Nikiforov, former KGB colonel, senior officer of the First Division of the Fifth Department of the Committee of Foreign Economic Relations, says the Masons have bought everything.
"In the 1980s, I was a supervisor in Southeastern Asia. I worked in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and China. Of course, I met with my colleagues from intelligence agencies and worked with the states of these nations. And on numerous occasions I was told about the existence of a world state in personal conversations. All presidents resist its dictatorship, but they know that they have long been puppets of this ruling system composing only 2 percent of the world's population – the richest individuals. I know for sure that the Queen of England and King of Spain and his wife are members. This so-called world state bought everything. They wage wars under the pretense of huge state interests and safety and invent artificial diseases such as the Bird Flu to control people and get rid of human dead weight. As a result, as I've been told, this secret world state will create a controllable mass. The center of the organization is in New York on Fifth Avenue in a large temple not far from where the twin towers were destroyed in 2001. They meet there from time to time."

The exposure of faked evidence for a thinktank report is a warning of the dangers of Britain's anti-Muslim media campaign
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2230012,00.html

The Guardian
Last Saturday, Ahmed Hassan, a 17-year-old Muslim student, was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack by a gang of white youths at Dewsbury railway station in west Yorkshire. Two have now been charged with his murder, and police say they are investigating whether there was a racial or religious motivation. In the Muslim communities in Dewsbury and neighbouring Batley, where Hassan lived, there's little doubt about it. In the run-up to today's Eid festival, Hassan's family issued a statement saying they hoped their loss would help "unite the community and all faiths".
But divisions run deep in the area. The far-right British National party, which has increasingly turned its racist venom against Muslims in recent years, won over 5,000 votes in Dewsbury in the last general election, its highest tally in the country. Its leader, Nick Griffin, has argued that his party must capitalise on the "growing wave of public hostility to Islam currently being whipped up by the mass media". It's not hard to see why he sees an opportunity. Since the July 2005 bombings in London, there has been a stream of sensationalised and poisonous stories about Britain's Muslims.
This media onslaught - often based on research by apparently reliable thinktanks - has clearly fed anti-Muslim prejudice. Combined with hyped terror-plot reports, the point has now been reached where Britons are found in polls to be more suspicious of Muslims than are Americans or citizens of any other major European state. For many Muslims, that heightens a sense of intimidation and alienation. For a minority, it translates into Islamophobic violence on the streets: Asian people are now twice as likely to be stabbed to death as a decade ago, and four out of five convictions for religiously aggravated offences last year involved attacks on Muslims.
But now the seamy underbelly of this dangerous campaign is coming to light. At the end of October, the influential Conservative-linked thinktank Policy Exchange published a report entitled The Hijacking of British Islam, which claimed that 26 out of nearly 100 mosques surveyed had been found to be selling "extremist material, some of it antisemitic, misogynistic, separatist and homophobic". The story was given top billing by newspapers and broadcasters. "One in four British mosques is in the grip of extremism", the Sun screamed, while the Times splashed it across its front page under the headline: "Lessons in hate found at leading mosques".
But last week, BBC's Newsnight programme - previously not shy of running inflammatory items itself on the Muslim community - revealed that a forensic examination of five receipts provided by Policy Exchange for the material had found them to be either faked, written by the same person, and/or were not issued by the mosques in question. A sixth receipt was also regarded as unreliable.
It might be supposed that receipts from the other 20 mosques were nevertheless found to be authentic and that Policy Exchange's basic case held. Not so. Newsnight didn't have the resources to check them. But it has since emerged that in one of these cases, Edinburgh central mosque, the mosque authorities insist books said by Policy Exchange to have been found there were in fact dumped in its grounds after the report was published. In another, the Times has this week had to publish an apology to East London mosque chairman Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, after reporting Policy Exchange's claim that the mosque was selling extremist literature.
Yesterday I contacted yet another mosque, Rochdale Central, claimed by Policy Exchange to have provided a receipt for extremist literature. No, said the imam, Hafiz Ikram, "we haven't got a bookshop and we don't sell books. Once or twice a year, people set up stalls in the carpark outside the mosque after Friday prayers, but they have nothing to do with us." That makes all nine receipts so far investigated either fabricated or inaccurate.
Policy Exchange insists it is standing by its research. But, given the evidence of falsification, it clearly cannot be regarded as reliable, nor can there be any confidence that the mosques supposedly surveyed were a representative sample. The thinktank has form in this area: earlier this year, the methodology and reliability of another heavily publicised report on Muslim separatism came under heavyweight academic attack. But it was still used by David Cameron to rubbish multiculturalism.
Charles Moore, Policy Exchange's chairman and former Daily Telegraph editor, claims Newsnight "told a small story" about dodgy receipts to "kill a much bigger story" - that "extremist literature was available in the mosques". But the extent of that availability is crucial: one of Policy Exchange's researchers told Newsnight they had had to go back three times to get hold of books. Of course, there are plenty of ultra-conservative and reactionary religious Islamic texts in circulation (though little of what Policy Exchange identified had anything to do with jihad) and those are most effectively challenged by other Muslims. You can also see ugly material in other religious institutions, such as the aggressively homophobic pamphlets I recently found on display in a south-west London church.
But the exaggeration of such phenomena and constant regurgitation of Muslim-baiting "research" by hard-right thinktanks like Policy Exchange and the Centre for Social Cohesion misleads the public and inflames ethnic tensions. It is also transparently driven by a neoconservative agenda that seeks to convince people that jihadist terror attacks in Britain are fuelled not by outrage at western violence and support for tyranny in the Muslim world, but by hatred of western culture and freedoms.
The roll call of those involved in Policy Exchange makes the point. Its policy director, Dean Godson, who blustered at Newsnight's presenter Jeremy Paxman last week, worked for the Reagan administration, was a signatory to the neocon Project for the New American Century, and was special assistant to the jailed former Telegraph owner Conrad Black. The report's author is Denis MacEoin, a pro-Israel campaigner who says he has "very negative feelings" about Islam. The thinktank's founders were Nicholas Boles, now Tory candidate for Grantham, and Michael Gove, author of that British neocon rallying cry Celsius 7/7 and now the Tory education spokesman. If Cameron cares anything for community relations, he should rein in these toxic attack dogs.

The well-known security expert David Litchfield wrote an article in the Independent on Sunday of 7th October 2007 covering the shocking massacre - by bludgeoning and shooting - of some 200 poverty-stricken Hungarian Jews at a party hosted by Countess Margit Botthyany de Nemetujuar at her castle in Rechnitz on the Austro-Hungarian border on the 24th March 1945 - with the Soviet Army only 15 kms away! Litchfield adds that evidence of said massacre was confirmed by the advancing Soviet Army - and published in the USSR's "Red Star" on 12th of April 1945. The Austrians subsequently ensured that the event would receive no more publicity.
This evokes memories of that pivotally historic period of post-WW1 in Germany - and, in particular, the role played in it by America, who was soon embarked on a trail of events which still haunt us today.
The foregoing should be viewed against the following backdrop, which will quote a few events of pertinence taken from this author's "Bush-Law in the Land of Mammon".
At the turn of the 19th-20th century, One August Thyssen (a German Catholic) owned a bank and vast steelworks company which subsequently became the main supplier to the Wermacht in WW1. He had two sons, Fritz and Heinrich, the former becoming a member of the Nazi Party and taking over the business from his father when the latter died in 1926. It so happens that Countess Margit (above) was the daughter of the second son, Heinrich Thyssen, who, at the start of WW 1, adopted Hungarian citizenship, married the Hungarian Baroness Margrit Bornemisza de Kaszon - and changed his name to become Baron Thyssen Bornemisza de Kaszon.
With WW 1 nearly over, August formed the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart in Rotterdam, and passed the responsibility of running it to Baron (Heinrich) Thyssen.
In 1920, the prestigious investment firm, W.A.Harriman & Co., had gained control of the German Hamburg-Amerika shipping line after negotiations with the latter's company and its bankers, M.M.Warburg (of whom, more later).
In 1922, Averell Harriman set up a branch of W.A Harriman & Co. bank in Berlin - and, while there, he met the Thyssen family, and agreed to help the latter with their plan to set up a bank in the US. Result? The setting up, in 1924, of the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) in New York with the Thyssen-owned Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart (see above).
In 1926, Prescott S. Bush snr., who had joined W.A.Harriman in 1924, was appointed Vice-President of the company. Fritz Thyssen now merged with Friedrich Flick's steel, coal & zinc conglomerate, the Silesian Holding Co. to form the new German Steel Trust with help from Clarence Dillon (old colleague of Prescott Bush's father) of the bank Dillon Read. The COE of this merged group was Albert Voegler, who had helped Hitler into power, and was director in the BHS bank and The Hamburg-Amerika Line (see above). Thus, Thyssen's accounts were now run through the W.A.Harriman group - and the German Steel Trust's corporate banking was handled by Dillon Read.
In 1931, W.A.Harriman merged with the British-American Brown Brothers investment firm to form the Brown Brothers Harriman.
At the end of WW 2, Fritz Thyssen was cross-examined, imprisoned for short spells, and eventually emigrated to Argentina in 1950, dying there the following year.
Suffice it to say here that a number of other American companies, such as Samuel Pryor and the Dulles Brothers, et al., carried out similar mergers with their German compatriots who were financing the Hitler regime - the Thyssens being one such. This is all well-documented common knowledge today.
At the end of WW 2 Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank owned 31% of Thyssen. Today, having bought out the arms maufacturer, Krupp, and now known as the Thyssen Group (TBG), it is one of the world's wealthiest corporations.
In 1942, the US Alien Property Custodian froze the accounts of the Union Banking Corp. - releasing them in 1951, as a result of which Walker and his son-in-law Prescott Bush received one share each of UBC stock - at $750,000 each.
Here, the foregoing needs to be augmented by a not-so-well-publicised aspect of the matter - namely, the apparently puzzling fact that such a prestigious, wealthy German/Jewish family as the Warburgs should have assisted Hitler in as effective a manner as the Thyssens. Hence the following backdrop:
A Jew, known only as 'Simon of Cassel' settled at Warburg in Germany in 1559. Not being allowed in those days to have surnames of their own, own land, or trade, they became 'handlers' of money - and adopted the name of 'Warburg', and when, in the 17th century, they moved to Hamburg, they became bankers. In 1871, with General Bismarck Chancellor of the new German Reich, the Jews were now enfranchised.
In 1901, Max Warburg remained in charge in Hamburg while his brothers, Paul and Felix went to New York and became partners in the investment firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Unhappy at the fact that, at that time, American banks were not centralised, Paul - with the collusion of Senator Aldrich, drew up a plan to centralise the system. This resulted in President Wilson signing an Act establishing the Federal Reserve Bank in December 1913!
By 1914, Warburg had become the leading German commercial bank, M.M.Warburg. Intriguingly, 100,000 German Jews, now enfranchised, served in the Germany Army in WW 1.
Earlier, Max Warburg helped finance HAPAG, the German-Amerika shipping line (see above), run by another Jew, Albert Ballin. HAPAG played a major role in building Germany's merchant and military fleets. Suffice it to add here that Warburg subsequently collaborated with Hitler on a number of issues: (a) he signed his approval of Hitler's decision to appoint Hjalmar Schacht as President of the Reichbank in March 1933; (b) in March 1933, the American-Jewish committee and the B'nai B'rith, (within which the Warburgs held much influence) issued a statement advising "that no American boycott against Germany be encouraged"; and (c) the Warburg bank played an important role in the Haavara Agreement of 1933 concluded between Hitler and the Zionists, whereby Jews emigrating to Palestine benefited - as did the Warburg Bank which served as a conduit for three quarters of the Haavara funds.
Max Warburg emigrated to America in 1938, dying there in 1946.
In view of the foregoing, one can only assume that a wealthy capitalist Jew in a country awash with anti-semitism stands a good chance of survival! Indeed, more than two-thirds of the German Jews survived the holocaust.
Two conclusions can be drawn from the foregoing: (1) Over the centuries religion has played a schismatic role, often resulting in genocide; (2) It is evidence enough that, in view of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Corporate America would soon embark on an anti-communist crusade by enlisting Hitler's help. From then on, their strategy would be to attain their capitalistic global domination - with not-a-little-help from the Bush kin.

Verint Systems, the Israeli security company contracted to manage and operate London Underground's CCTV network has become embroiled in a serious fraud case in New York. Ex Chief Executive of parent company Comverse Technologies, Jacob 'Kobi' Alexander faces legal action to bring him back to the U.S. for trial after absconding with $13 million and being arrested in Namibia.
Contractual arrangements are complicated by the collapse of Metronet which signed the thirty year CCTV contract with Verint ten months before the 7/7 London bombs.
The 'stock option backdating' scandal first came to light last year in the Wall Street Journal. Kobi Alexander is wanted for cheating shareholders out of nearly $6.5 million dollars by illegally backdating the buying and selling of lucrative stock options. Alexander is accused of laundering the money through accounts set up under fictitious names such as I. M. Fantom (I am phantom). The Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates companies listed on the New York stock exchange, is seeking Alexander's extradition from Namibia on 35 counts of fraud.
Verint Systems, meanwhile, was suspended from the New York NASDAQ list in February 2007 because it hadn't filed financial statements required by law. Eyebrows have been raised particularly because Verint is entrusted with the safety and security of three million people a day on the tube.
Both companies are close relations with Western Intelligence Agencies. They provide telephone surveillance software and mobile phone voicemail software used to gather information on those suspected of being 'terrorists' or 'subversives'. They are also one of the companies providing systems for recording phone calls automatically through numbered menu systems.
Possibly more worrying are the close links between these companies and the Israeli Army. Both Kobi Alexander and the present CEO of Verint are ex Israeli Army officers. Chief Executive of Verint, Daniel Bodner, was an officer in the Israeli Engineers.
Latest news is that the two companies, Comverse and Verint, plan to split. Kobi Alexander's latest extradition hearing in Windhoek is on November 12th.
Serious concerns remain about the lack of London Underground CCTV images of the London Bombers on 7th July itself, as opposed to those published of a 'dummy run' of the bombing suspects two weeks earlier. Also an exercise on 7/7 by Visor Consultants with imaginary bombs at the exact four locations where the real bombs went off has raised more questions than it has answered.
Also to be considered is the vanishing CCTV footage from Stockwell Underground Station of the moments leading up to the killing of Brazilian Electrician Jean Charles De Menezes. LU staff handed checked and correct CCTV tapes over to the Metropolitan Police but were later told there was nothing on them.
The 2005 London bombs' targeting of innocent members of the public mirrors attacks in 1980 at Bologna Railway Station in Italy where 85 people died, and the Oktoberfest beer festival in Munich where 13 perished. These bombings were later discovered to have been carried out by far-right fascist units of NATO's Operation Gladio, not the left wing Red Brigades and Baader Meinhof as originally announced in the press.
These and other disturbing questions will only be answered, and the safety of London's transport staff and travelling public restored by a full and open public enquiry into the events of 7th July 2005.

I hope you have broadband. This IMHO is one of the most spun against and censored stories of all time. How much money and influence peddling has been spent to shut people up from exploring the truth is unbelievable.
The arrogant elite of this world - and in this film Diana, through the lips of Mohammed Al Fayed, fingers the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, as the main perpetrator of Diana's murder. This is why the Diana issue will never go away until the public have closure and the guilty parties are behind bars, whoever they are.

To the American people, and to peace loving individuals everywhere:
Massive evidence has come to our attention which shows that the backers, controllers, and allies of Vice President Dick Cheney are determined to orchestrate and manufacture a new 9/11 terror incident, and/or a new Gulf of Tonkin war provocation over the coming weeks and months. Such events would be used by the Bush administration as a pretext for launching an aggressive war against Iran, quite possibly with nuclear weapons, and for imposing a regime of martial law here in the United States. We call on the House of Representatives to proceed immediately to the impeachment of Cheney, as an urgent measure for avoiding a wider and more catastrophic war. Once impeachment has begun, it will be easier for loyal and patriotic military officers to refuse illegal orders coming from the Cheney faction. We solemnly warn the people of the world that any terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction taking place inside the United States or elsewhere in the immediate future must be considered the prima facie responsibility of the Cheney faction. We urge responsible political leaders everywhere to begin at once to inoculate the public opinion of their countries against such a threatened false flag terror operation.

"Another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets"
by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, August 10, 2006
One essential feature of "defense" in the case of a second major attack on America, is "offense", according to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff: "Homeland security is one piece of a broader strategy [which] brings the battle to the enemy."(DHS, Transcript of complete March 2005 speech of Secr. Michael Chertoff)
In the month following last year's 7/7 London bombings, Vice President Dick Cheney is reported to have instructed USSTRATCOM to draw up a contingency plan "to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States". Implied in the contingency plan is the certainty that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11.
This "contingency plan" uses the pretext of a "Second 9/11", which has not yet happened, to prepare for a major military operation against Iran, while pressure was also exerted on Tehran in relation to its (non-existent) nuclear weapons program.
What is diabolical in this decision of the US Vice President is that the justification presented by Cheney to wage war on Iran rests on Iran's involvement in a hypothetical terrorist attack on America, which has not yet occurred:
The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections. (Philip Giraldi, Attack on Iran: Pre-emptive Nuclear War , The American Conservative, 2 August 2005)
Are we to understand that US, British and Israeli military planners are waiting in limbo for a Second 9/11, to extend the war beyond the borders of Lebanon, to launch a military operation directed against Syria and Iran?
Cheney's proposed "contingency plan" did not focus on preventing a Second 9/11. The Cheney plan is predicated on the presumption that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11 and that punitive bombings could immediately be activated, prior to the conduct of an investigation, much in the same way as the attacks on Afghanistan in October 2001, allegedly in retribution for the alleged support of the Taliban government to the 9/11 terrorists. It is worth noting that one does not plan a war in three weeks: the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan had been planned well in advance of 9/11. As Michael Keefer points out in an incisive review article:
"At a deeper level, it implies that “9/11-type terrorist attacks” are recognized in Cheney’s office and the Pentagon as appropriate means of legitimizing wars of aggression against any country selected for that treatment by the regime and its corporate propaganda-amplification system.... (Keefer, February 2006 )
In a timely statement, barely a few days following the onslaught of the bombing of Lebanon, Vice President Cheney reiterated his warning: "The enemy that struck on 9/11 is fractured and weakened, yet still lethal, still determined to hit us again" (Waterloo Courier, Iowa, 19 July 2006, italics added).
"Justification and Opportunity to Retaliate against ...the State Sponsors [of Terrorism]"
In April 2006, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld launched a far-reaching military plan to fight terrorism around the World, with a view to retaliating in the case of a second major terrorist attack on America.
"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist attack on the United States, according to defense officials.
The long-awaited campaign plan for the global war on terrorism, as well as two subordinate plans also approved within the past month by Rumsfeld, are considered the Pentagon's highest priority, according to officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly.
Details of the plans are secret, but in general they envision a significantly expanded role for the military -- and, in particular, a growing force of elite Special Operations troops -- in continuous operations to combat terrorism outside of war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Developed over about three years by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, the plans reflect a beefing up of the Pentagon's involvement in domains traditionally handled by the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department. (Washington Post, 23 April 2006)
This plan is predicated on the possibility of a Second 911 and the need to retaliate if and when the US is attacked:
"A third plan sets out how the military can both disrupt and respond to another major terrorist strike on the United States. It includes lengthy annexes that offer a menu of options for the military to retaliate quickly against specific terrorist groups, individuals or state sponsors depending on who is believed to be behind an attack. Another attack could create both a justification and an opportunity that is lacking today to retaliate against some known targets, according to current and former defense officials familiar with the plan.
This plan details "what terrorists or bad guys we would hit if the gloves came off. The gloves are not off," said one official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject. (italics added, WP 23 April 2006)
The presumption of this military document, is that a Second 911 attack "which is lacking today" would usefully create both a "justification and an opportunity" to wage war on "some known targets [Iran and Syria]".
The announcement on August 10 by the British Home Office of a foiled large scale terror attack to simultaneously blow up as many as ten airplanes, conveys the impression that it is the Western World rather than the Middle East which is under attack.
Realities are twisted upside down. The disinformation campaign has gone into full gear. The British and US media are increasingly pointing towards "preemptive war" as an act of "self defense" against Al Qaeda and the State sponsors of terrorism, who are allegedly preparing a Second 911. The underlying objective, through fear and intimidation, is ultimately to build public acceptance for the next stage of the Middle East "war on terrorism" which is directed against Syria and Iran.

- Mail on Sunday - The gentlemen's club for the rich and famous that worships
a 1980s Page 3 girl
By SHARON CHURCHER in New York and ALAN RIMMER in London
A former British topless model has become the extraordinary obsession of members of Americas most illustrious and secretive men's club, which is trying to track her down in time for its 100th anniversary party next month.
The Bohemian Grove Club holds an annual summer camp at which members, who include Henry Kissinger, former President George Bush Senior, Clint Eastwood and Bob Weir, founder member of Sixties rock band the Grateful Dead, debate world politics, perform weird mock Druid ceremonies and, it turns out, ogle a poster of a blonde in a thong.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she is one-time Bond girl and 1976 Miss Wales, Sian Adey-Jones, 49, whom we have tracked down to Ibiza.
Having posed for the poster in 1980 at the
height of her career as a Page 3 pin-up and appeared in the 1985 007 film A View To A Kill, she now lives on the island with her Italian husband Rocco, son Dylan, 14, and adopted daughter Tallulah, four.
She was bemused to learn that some of America's wealthiest men wanted to "honour" her with a black-tie dinner at the clubs 2,700-acre forested compound north of San Francisco this summer.
Since club rules ban all women except those employed to work at events, they cannot invite Sian herself.
Instead, they want her to send them a "formal greeting" - with a current picture of herself.
Sian said: "I'm flattered to be in the hearts and minds of such important people but my modelling career is in the past now. And, since they are so secretive, how do I know if this will be a nice gentlemens dinner or men leaping around doing weird and distasteful things in a forest?"
The £5,000-a-year club's strict code bans its 2,300 members from discussing its activities but, speaking on condition of anonymity, the 25 members leading the hunt for Sian assured us that their intentions were honourable.
One of them, a California financier, said: "The poster hangs on the outside wall of a cabin in an area of the camp called Skidoo and has become rather famous throughout the club because of the artistic photography and the beauty of the subject.
"This summer will be the 100th anniversary, so we thought a black-tie dinner honouring her would be a nice thing to do.
"We would like to read out a message from her, maybe something along the lines of Miss Adey-Jones saying, "I am glad I could improve on your ambience."
"And we'd
like a current snapshot, which we'll show alongside the poster. We just want
to do something nice for a woman who has meant so much to us."
Though the poster has been displayed at the camp for 27 years, the members had no idea of Sian's identity and asked California internet expert Raymond Lopez to help.
He said: "Someone thought she was the former British model Caroline Cossey, who was a Bond girl in For Your Eyes Only.
That would have been fascinating because Caroline is a transsexual who was born a boy but when I found her in Atlanta, where she now lives, she said, "I hate to disappoint you but it's Sian Adey-Jones."
"The organisers of the Miss Wales competition in 2004 had held an event with former winners but Sian didn't participate so they couldn't help.
"Finally, we got a number for Sian's mother in Wales but, maybe because of the time difference, she never replied to our messages. With the dinner fast approaching, members have been worrying that they were running out of time."
Next month's dinner will be preceded by traditional club rituals, which include an arcane Druid rite, the Cremation of Care, in which torch-wielding men in crimson robes burn an effigy representing the cares of the world and high-living that they leave behind for 17 days.
They insist the idea is to concentrate on lofty discussions about the state of the world. But Sian said she needed to be convinced.
"This sounds like rich and famous men banning women so they can run around like Boy Scouts," she said.
A club spokesman said the members seeking Sian were "very nice fellas". He added: "It sounds like a sweet idea and if she sends them a greeting, they will be as pleased as a bunch of boys could possibly be."
* They dress as women and get drunk
The Bohemian Grove Club has been called the world's most exclusive old boys' club.
Tony Blair, John Major and Prince Philip have reputedly been guests at the California estate where its 2,300 luminaries meet twice a year - for a long weekend in May and 17 days in July - under a veil of secrecy.
They are lodged in clusters of log cabins, including the Skidoo Encampment, where Sian's image is hung.
With a combined worth estimated at £50billion, they say their goal is to "draw inspiration from nature" while they hammer out new solutions to world problems.
Visitors have reported, however, that their rituals include getting "howling drunk", dressing up as women and burning an effigy called "Care" under a giant statue of an owl.
Peter Phillips, a sociology professor who has been a guest at the club, insists:
"It's all very tongue-in-cheek." Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger delivers a breakfast lecture every July on topics that have included the Iraq War.
"Part of the tradition is that Henry should be interrupted at the start of his talk by a Mexican band," says a member. "After they play a tune, the band withdraws and Henry continues."

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador Sunday to protest what it called recently uncovered U.S. espionage networks, state television reported, the day before the Islamic republic planned ambassador-level talks with the U.S. on Iraq.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry's head of American affairs met with Ambassador Philippe Welti and demanded "necessary explanation" of spy networks Iran announced it had uncovered Saturday.
The Swiss embassy has been working as the U.S. interest section in Iran ever since Washington broke its diplomatic ties with the country in response to Iranian militant students storming the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.
"Recently, several espionage networks were identified that were active, under guidance of the U.S. intelligence apparatus, to commit infiltration and sabotage in western, central and southwestern areas of the country," the television quoted the Iranian official, Ahmad Sobhani, as saying in the meeting.
State televison reported Saturday that the spy networks were "comprised of infiltrating elements from the Iraqi occupiers" using shorthand for the U.S and its allies.
The Iranian TV broadcast reported that Welti promised to relay Iran's protest to Washington. The White House has said it does not confirm or deny allegations about intelligence matters.
The diplomatic protest comes as the U.S. and Iran prepare to meet in Baghdad on Monday. Both sides say the talks will focus solely on the security situation in Iraq.
Also Sunday, Iran said it had "no exact report" about an Iranian-American employee of a U.S. foundation promoting democracy who went missing after traveling to his homeland. Kian Tajbakhsh is one of several people believed detained in Iran amid rising tensions with the United States.
The urban planning consultant, who has also worked for the World Bank, was detained around May 11, according to George Soros' Open Society Institute. The private foundation encourages democracy-building in countries around the world.
"We have no exact report about him from official authorities," said Mohammad Ali Hosseini, spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, when asked about Tajbakhsh.
The Open Society Institute has called for his release, saying he was consulting on "projects that we undertook openly and with the knowledge of the Iranian government."
Hosseini also said he had no information about another Iranian-American, Ali Shakeri, who was supposed to leave Iran and fly to Europe on May 13 but never arrived at his destination. Shakeri is a founding board member at the University of California, Irvine's Center for Citizen Peacebuilding.
Earlier this month, Iranian authorities arrested Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East Program at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Iran accuses Esfandiari, also an Iranian-American, of working for a group trying to topple its government. Esfandiari's family and the center deny the claims.
Another Iranian-American, Parnaz Azima, a journalist for the U.S.-funded Radio Farda, has been prohibited from leaving Iran since her passport was seized in January. Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent, disappeared in March after going to Iran's resort island of Kish.
Reporters Without Borders also has said a French-Iranian journalism student, Mehrnoushe Solouki, was arrested in February. She was released in March on bail but her passport was taken away and she has been unable to leave the country, it said.

Time for a British version of Islam by Ruth Kelly - Published 09 April 2007

Over several weeks there has been much local concern about a government sponsored religious education project in mosques. The concerns proved correct when the curriculum launch failed to accommodate the many concerns about the contents. Whilst people in our community see a need for our institutions to be more relevant, especially to better serve the needs of the young, and most are not against some revision to the curriculum, the newly launched 'Nasiha' program seems to have received more than just external funding - it seems to have received external input to the content. Examples about terrorism and crime stereotype our community in an unacceptable way and will alienate more than help community engagement. It is for this reason we do not support its widespread implementation. The statement of solidarity signed by so many was a local attempt to make our feelings felt on this matter so that general lessons can be learned.
A Joint Statement about Ruth Kelly’s British version of Islam, from Mosques, Institutions, Scholars and Leaders
Over the past months the Muslim community has received much understandable scrutiny. However along with this it has faced judgment and blame, led by the government and by some of the national media. Despite a comprehensive rejection of violence against any civilians from every quarter of this community the Muslim community and its institutions have been accused of ‘radicalization’ of youth, fostering ‘terrorism’ and harbouring ‘extremists’. Mosques and Imams have generally become labelled as the hotbeds of such activity based upon one single case study. Hijab/Niqab and faith schools have been labelled as marks of separation with no good evidence. Communities have become more polarized and suspicious of each and not more cohesive. We were recently disturbed when Ruth Kelly fuelled this atmosphere by calling for a British version of Islam - linking current Islamic practice itself with extremism and terrorism.
The result, we fear will be greater fear and tension in society, and a feeling that Muslims do not have a right to comment on political affairs for fear of being labelled extremists. In order to try to plan a way forward from this mess we the undersigned jointly declare the following:
1) It is not possible to create a harmonious society by demonizing faiths and beliefs. Rather the teaching of the core Islamic values will lead to good citizens within society, not simply reinforcing stereotypes about terrorism to children.
2) Problems with our community institutions are best addressed by the community itself, from the Islamic values upon which these institutions are based, and not through government intervention.
3) Improving the quality of after-school and weekend madrassahs/Quran classes should be about producing distinct Muslim personalities who will contribute to wider society and not confused with security policies under the banner of the "war on terror".
4) Policies and projects such as the new Curriculum Nasiha being piloted which are aimed at improving personalities, communities and society driven by the government's questionable 'war on terror' policies are destined to fail, and may indeed make matters worse, and hence should be rejected.

"Devil crept into the Heaven, God overslept on the 7th, the New World Order was born on Sep 11th".
21May07 - By Alf Mendes
On November 2nd 2006, in the aftermath of Macedonia’s election on July 5th 2006, the newly-elected Prime Minister, Nicola Gruevski (of the centre right VMRO-DPME Party), addressed a speech to The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham). It was a speech which clearly reflected the servility of ‘servant’ to ‘master’ - of the Macedonian government to the American Corporate Establishment. - which is understandable when viewed against the recent history of the former Yugoslav Republic, as covered by this author in previous articles: “An Alternative View of the Yugoslav Crisis”; “The Balkans Have Their Uses”; & “The Balkan Problem”.
Suffice it to add here that, like other breakaway Yugoslav republics, Macedonia is now in a somewhat chaotic state - perhaps best revealed by Shmuel (Sam) Vaknin in his article in February ‘07, “Don’t Hurry to Invest in Macedonia”, from which the following quotes - of pertinence - are taken:
(a) “The previous VMRO-DPME government (1999-2002), in which Gruevski served as Minister of Finance, plundered the country shamelessly”.
(b) “Macedonia’s post-electoral euphoria faded, in July 2006, into arduous coalition-building negotiations replete with arm-twisting by the worried representatives of the ‘international community’” - Gruevski ensuring that the Albanian party, DPA, would be excluded from his government.
(c) “Politics, venality, and terrorism are the sole venues of social mobility in this tiny, landlocked, country of 2 million impoveri
