"Trust or Tyranny
It is often said that knowledge is power, and when misused, knowledge and power corrupt. And should power be used to intimidate so as to stifle dissent, the self-correcting effects of speaking truth to power are diminished, if not lost. Even the rubric of the �global war on terror,� cannot justify officialdom's �overreach� in acquiring, processing, sharing, and retaining information on those who peaceably oppose U.S. policies--whether individuals, groups, or countries.
Nor should the public acquiesce in any instances of official overreach. Unlike the mislabeled USA PATRIOT Act, which would restrict and even deny basic freedoms, real patriots have always acted to defend, secure, and even expand their rights. This last is important, for as with much in life--even life itself--there is no status quo; one either advances or loses ground to exterior powers that are hard to control.
People speak of the terror of the unknown. Such terror is the greatest tyranny of all, for it can encompass such total ignorance that an individual loses all sense of control over the future. That is why knowledge, properly understood, is another word for democracy--the right to think and to speak freely.
As John Milton said, �Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.� 6

Interview with 'House of Bush, House of Saud' author Craig Unger
Rumsfeld's 1983 meeting with Saddam
'The envoy was Donald H. Rumsfeld, then the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Searle. The meeting is widely considered to be the trigger that ushered in a new era of U.S.-Iraq relations, one that opened the door to shipments of dual-use munitions, chemical, biological agents and other dubious technology transfers. But for years what exactly was discussed in that now infamous meeting has been shrouded in secrecy.
'...'
Examining recently released government and corporate sources, the researchers document how a close-knit group of high-ranking U.S. officials worked in secrecy for two years attempting to secure the billion dollar pipeline scheme for the Bechtel corporation. The Bush/Cheney administration now eyes Bechtel as a primary contractor for the rebuilding of Iraq's infrastructure.
Bechtel's pipeline would have carried a million barrels of Iraqi crude oil a day through Jordan to the Red Sea port of Aqaba.

'Jesus Plus Nothing'
Originally from Harper's Magazine (see below), March 2003. By Jeffrey Sharlet.
"... The Family is, in its own words, an �invisible� association, though its membership has always consisted mostly of public men. Senators Don Nickles (R., Okla.), Charles Grassley (R., Iowa), Pete Domenici (R., N.Mex.), John Ensign (R., Nev.), James Inhofe (R., Okla.), Bill Nelson (D., Fla.), and Conrad Burns (R., Mont.) are referred to as �members,� as are Representatives Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), Frank Wolf (R., Va.), Joseph Pitts (R., Pa.), Zach Wamp (R., Tenn.), and Bart Stupak (D., Mich.). Regular prayer groups have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense, and the Family has traditionally fostered strong ties with businessmen in the oil and aerospace industries..."
"..."
"...And we were called to serve on Tuesday mornings, when The Cedars hosted a regular prayer breakfast typically presided over by Ed Meese, the former attorney general. Each week the breakfast brought together a rotating group of ambassadors, businessmen, and American politicians..."
"The answer, we discovered, was that King David had been �chosen.� To illustrate this point David Coe turned to Beau. �Beau, let's say I hear you raped three little girls. And now here you are at Ivanwald. What would I think of you, Beau?�
"..."
Beau shrank into the cushions. �Probably that I'm pretty bad?�
�No, Beau. I wouldn't. Because I'm not here to judge you. That's not my job. I'm here for only one thing.�
�Jesus?� Beau said. David smiled and winked."
"..."
"He reached over and squeezed the arm of a brother. �Isn't that great?� David said. �That's the way everything in life happens. If you're a person known to be around Jesus, you can go and do anything. And that's who you guys are. When you leave here, you're not only going to know the value of Jesus, you're going to know the people who rule the world. It's about vision. 'Get your vision straight, then relate.' Talk to the people who rule the world, and help them obey. Obey Him. If I obey Him myself, I help others do the same. You know why? Because I become a warning. We become a warning. We warn everybody that the future king is coming. Not just of this country or that, but of the world.� Then he pointed at the map, toward the Khan's vast, reclaimable empire."

The Guerrilla News Interview with author Jeffrey Sharlet
Cognitive Liberty
"Typically any work we do has an array of goals we hit, and letting people know about cognitive liberty � what it is, how they and their freedom of thought will be affected by developments in medicine, technology and the law, is where a lot of emphasis goes. We also educate lawmakers, judges, media reporters and other professionals on the implications of their own work in relation to freedom of thought. And then, there�s an entire university curriculum that�s available at our website for a loosely-orchestrated course called "Cognitive Liberty & Neuroethics." This course was developed a couple summers ago; I�m intending to update that in the next few months, in light of a whole avalanche of research that has come out since that resource was put together by our dear Summer Fellow from Canada, "me:me sous rapture." [Ed.: His nom de guerre.] (BTW, the "Summer Fellow Program" is itself an educational component where people come and work with the CCLE.)
In terms of current projects, the CCLE is launching Judges Against the Drug War, an online database (in March 2004) that will compile published legal opinions of judges who are openly critiquing federal and state drug prohibition. The idea is that most of these sorts of comments remain buried in legal archives and that many people are unfamiliar with conducting searches for legal data. By compiling and maintaining a growing database documenting the government�s own judges objections and disgust at this ongoing social disaster, we will provide a much needed educational service for defense attorneys, judges associations, the media and an interested public in assessing the efficacy of the War on Drugs.

Shakespeare on Pot (Included Rabelais)
by Chris Bennet, illustrations by Art Penn (14 Jun, 2001)
Guys,
Silliness
I especially love this:
'Professor Stanley Wells of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the foundation
which loaned the pipe fragments for the study, said the conclusions were
"regrettable." He complained that "it's trying to suggest that
Shakespeare was not a great genius, but somebody who produced his
writings under an artificial influence...'
Who is trying to do that? I don't believe it would have occurred to
most people to, all of a sudden, to accuse Shakespeare of not being a
'great genius'. That's silly. Is Prof. Wells actually an academic of some
sort? It wouldn't seem so with a perposterous statement such as that.
As the email states:
'Dr Thackeray, head of palaeontology at the Transvaal Museum in
Pretoria, and his research partner Professor Nikolaas van der Merwe
of Harvard University and the University of Cape Town, have suggested
that old William not only used marijuana, but acknowledged the creative
force of the herb esoterically in Sonnet 76, with a reference to "invention
in a noted weed."'
Huh, Professor Nickolas van der Merwe of Harvard University.
Hmmm...That's a good skool huh? I seem to remember a Professor or
two from there...it's been awhile...
and
'With their well established academic credentials, Thackeray and van
der Merwe were able to further test their hypothesis by commissioning
police laboratories in Pretoria to analyse two dozen clay pipes that
were retrieved from Shakespeare's home in Stratford-upon-Avon. Thackeray
is careful to point out that "We do not claim that any of the pipes
belonged to Shakespeare himself. However, we do know that some of the
pipes come from the area in which he lived, and they date to the
seventeenth century."
With the use of modern gas chromatography, they hoped to establish just
what once burned in the 400-year-old relics. On March 1, 2001, the
Transvaal Museum in South Africa released the findings of these tests,
which showed the presence of not only tobacco residues on the pipes, but
also cocaine, and evidence of marijuana.'
Huh, sounds like he smoked a mix huh...no one mixes pot with tobacco these
days in Europe...I think around here it's blunts...and cocaine...no genius
ever used that drug before...Mr Freud...Richard Pryor...Could you imagine
if Shakespeare screwed up like Pryor did...and then what his 'big comeback
play' woulda been like...Oh yeah, never saw a picture where Shakespeare's
got a pipe or anything
'two dozen clay pipes <...> were retrieved from Shakespeare's home in
Stratford-upon-Avon.'
I know this is just as silly as Prof. Well's statements...After all it
was what...16th/17th Century Great Britian--they were some sort of 'Empire'
were'nt they?...something about 'shipping' or 'trade'?...I know at
least one them 'Empires' were runnin' rum...and somethin' about slavery...
and these weren't even the so-called 'Black Markets'...and Shakespeare hung
out with a lot of artists and poets and playwrights and musicians and set
designers and all...and choreographers and you know what they say about
choreographers don't you...noooo, no coke or weed ever found it's way into
the hands of any of those people...but I know in say New York--another
shipping capitol, or Las Vegas, or Lynchburg, Tennessee, 'two dozen clay
pipes retrieved from your home' and tested positive for marijuana and
cocaine...that's 'probable cause' now it'n'it.
Prof. Wells again:
'...There are about 8 million cannabis takers in this
country at the present time. Are they producing anything?"'
Could someone explain to Herr Professor that, 'epidemiologically speaking'
a special condition of that which is human, let's say a 'disease' in
general, any one of them, or its opposite, some positive characteristic,
an 'ease', say 'genius', really only manifests itself in a small segment of
any population. However you'd measure it. No one would suggest that
'8 million canabis takers' (100% of them) would all do anything of 'great
genius'. Imagine 8 million of any population runnin' round writing plays of
the quality of Mr. Shakespeare. That's silly. Is Prof. Wells actually an
academic of some sort? It wouldn't seem so with a perposterous statement
such as that.
I wouldn't want to comment on whether Prof. Wells uses any medications...
or what he doesn't smoke...
Ummm, I hate to be redundant. And excuse my informal mathematics.
However, please remember that the only number articulated here was of
Prof. Wells' manufacture. I would suspect that the number of 'canabis
takers' today exceeds 8 million. And not by a little.
And that's just fine. 'Cuz ya know the larger a population, any population,
is, the greater the chance of said population to manifest any 'special
condition of that which is human'. Let's say, a 'great genius' for
example.
I don't how many 'Prof. Wells' there are in the world.
It'd be nice if there were less than 8 million.
Silly man.
I don't wanna even get into Rabelais.

"The greatest crime of Marxism wasn't simply that much of what it claimed was false, but that it claimed to be the sole and utterly complete path to understanding life and reality. Cybernetic eschatology shares with some of history's worst ideologies a doctrine of historical predestination.

The War on Clark
"Clarke has told the uncomfortable truth in his book, and now finds himself the target of the full fury of angry Bush partisans, who insist that fighting terrorism was Bush's highest priority. The evidence shows otherwise. For starters, Clarke presented a memo to Condi Rice outlining the URGENT (this tag is on the document) threat presented by Al Qaeda in January 2001. While Dr. Rice insists she made terrorism a top priority, one of her first decisions in the early days of 2001 was to downgrade Clarke's position as the National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism. How is that making terrorism an elevated priority? It is not. Richard Clarke also requested in January 2001 that President Bush convene a meeting of principal Bush officials (e.g., the secretary of state, secretary of defense and the attorney general) but this meeting was postponed by Dr. Rice until Sept. 4, 2001. That seven-month gap represents time that, in retrospect, could have been used to prevent the 9/11 attacks."
'The War On Clarke' by Larry C. Johnson
"Larry C. Johnson is a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. He served with the CIA from 1985 through 1989 and worked in the State Department's office of Counter Terrorism from 1989 through 1993. He also is a registered Republican who contributed financially to the Bush Campaign in 2000."

"Surely the Wall Street Journal would understand why U.S citizens do not want to pay $350 billion plus a year for a national security infrastructure that can not even protect its own headquarters?"
Some of the "Unanswered Questions" on 9-11 include:
2. Why did Attorney General John Ashcroft and some Pentagon officials cancel commercial-airline trips before Sept. 11?
5. Did any of the hijackers smuggle guns on board as reported in calls from both Flight 11 and Flight 93?
6. Why did the NORAD air defense network fail to intercept the four hijacked jets?

choreographers don't you...noooo, no coke or weed ever found it's way into
the hands of any of those people...but I know in say New York--another
shipping capitol, or Las Vegas, or Lynchburg, Tennessee, 'two dozen clay
pipes retrieved from your home' and tested positive for marijuana and
cocaine...that's 'probable cause' now it'n'it.
Prof. Wells again:
'...There are about 8 million cannabis takers in this
country at the present time. Are they producing anything?"'
Could someone explain to Herr Professor that, 'epidemiologically speaking'
a special condition of that which is human, let's say a 'disease' in
general, any one of them, or its opposite, some positive characteristic,
an 'ease', say 'genius', really only manifests itself in a small segment of
any population. However you'd measure it. No one would suggest that
'8 million canabis takers' (100% of them) would all do anything of 'great
genius'. Imagine 8 million of any population runnin' round writing plays of
the quality of Mr. Shakespeare. That's silly. Is Prof. Wells actually an
academic of some sort? It wouldn't seem so with a perposterous statement
such as that.
I wouldn't want to comment on whether Prof. Wells uses any medications...
or what he doesn't smoke...
Ummm, I hate to be redundant. And excuse my informal mathematics.
However, please remember that the only number articulated here was of
Prof. Wells' manufacture. I would suspect that the number of 'canabis
takers' today exceeds 8 million. And not by a little.
And that's just fine. 'Cuz ya know the larger a population, any population,
is, the greater the chance of said population to manifest any 'special
condition of that which is human'. Let's say, a 'great genius' for
example.
I don't how many 'Prof. Wells' there are in the world.
It'd be nice if there were less than 8 million.
Silly man.
I don't wanna even get into Rabelais.

The War on Clark
"Clarke has told the uncomfortable truth in his book, and now finds himself the target of the full fury of angry Bush partisans, who insist that fighting terrorism was Bush's highest priority. The evidence shows otherwise. For starters, Clarke presented a memo to Condi Rice outlining the URGENT (this tag is on the document) threat presented by Al Qaeda in January 2001. While Dr. Rice insists she made terrorism a top priority, one of her first decisions in the early days of 2001 was to downgrade Clarke's position as the National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism. How is that making terrorism an elevated priority? It is not. Richard Clarke also requested in January 2001 that President Bush convene a meeting of principal Bush officials (e.g., the secretary of state, secretary of defense and the attorney general) but this meeting was postponed by Dr. Rice until Sept. 4, 2001. That seven-month gap represents time that, in retrospect, could have been used to prevent the 9/11 attacks."
'The War On Clarke' by Larry C. Johnson
"Larry C. Johnson is a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. He served with the CIA from 1985 through 1989 and worked in the State Department's office of Counter Terrorism from 1989 through 1993. He also is a registered Republican who contributed financially to the Bush Campaign in 2000."
Conspiracy Planet
"Our government is accountable to provide a factual and logical explanation of what happened on September 11, 2001," writes former FHA Commissioner Catherine Austin Fitts (www.solari.com) in answer to a disingenuous WSJ article by Ian Johnson ("Distrust of U.S. Fuels Stories About Source of the Attacks').
"Surely the Wall Street Journal would understand why U.S citizens do not want to pay $350 billion plus a year for a national security infrastructure that can not even protect its own headquarters?"
Some of the "Unanswered Questions" on 9-11 include:
2. Why did Attorney General John Ashcroft and some Pentagon officials cancel commercial-airline trips before Sept. 11?
5. Did any of the hijackers smuggle guns on board as reported in calls from both Flight 11 and Flight 93?
6. Why did the NORAD air defense network fail to intercept the four hijacked jets?
10. Where are the planes' "black boxes"?
