"Highway Watch - Created by the American Trucking Association in 1998, this national safety initiative trains professional truck drivers to recognize and report a variety of incidents-such as stranded motorists, drunk drivers, changing road conditions, poor signage, accidents, etc. The American Trucking Association wants to expand this program beyond the six states currently served and to include terrorism prevention. This reporting system is being developed by the Department of Justice in coordination with several other federal agencies, including the Office of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and FEMA, as a part of Citizen Corps. The program was announced in concept in January 2002 for the stated purpose of creating a national information sharing system for specific industry groups to report suspicious, publicly observable activity that could be related to terrorism. Specifically, industry groups have looked to the Justice Department to offer a reliable and cost-effective system that their workers could use to report information to state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies about unusual activities they might observe in the normal course of their daily routines. The National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) was selected by Attorney General John Ashcroft immediately following the terrorist attacks of September 11 to serve as the single on-line portal for the public to report information regarding terrorist activity to the FBI."

"While driving around with friends recently, 18-year-old Kristin Schmeski, of Portage, saw a van driver pull out in front of her and start swerving. Schmeski whipped out her cellular phone and called Portage police to report a drunken driver. Her tip led to his arrest. The Porter County Drunk Driving Task Force awarded her with a $50 payment. The Task Force also presented $50 to three others who reported drunken drivers earlier this month in Portage. The program tested in Portage will be offered throughout Porter County this Memorial Day weekend. Anyone who reports a drunken driver Friday, Saturday and Sunday will receive $50 if police make a drunken driving arrest. Drunk Driving Task Force members agreed at their recent meeting not to limit the number of $50 rewards it will pay out. 'We'll find out the hard way (how much the initiative will cost),' Task Force member Michael Grennes said. People wanting to report a drunken driver can dial 911 on their cell phones. Those wanting to collect $50 will be asked to leave their name and contact information. Annette Rosado, another Portage resident who has collected a $50 reward, said she thinks the monetary rewards are a great idea. 'I think it's a wonderful program. I hope a lot of people will take advantage of it,' Rosado said."

"We have created 93 Anti-Terrorism Task Forces - one in each U.S. Attorney's district - to integrate the communications and activities of local, state and federal law enforcement. Some of our critics, I regret to say, have shown less affection for detail. Their bold declarations of so-called fact have quickly dissolved, upon inspection, into vague conjecture. Charges of 'kangaroo courts' and 'shredding the Constitution' give new meaning to the term, 'the fog of war.' Our legal powers are targeted at terrorists. Our investigation is focused on terrorists. Our prevention strategy targets the terrorist threat. My message to America this morning, then, is this: If YOU fit this definition of a 'terrorist', fear the United States, for YOU WILL lose your liberty! We have engaged in a deliberate campaign of arrest and detention of law breakers. I trust, as well, that Congress will respect this President's authority to wage war on terrorism and defend our nation and its citizens with all the power vested in him by the Constitution and entrusted to him by the American people."

"A warrant charging the 134 Air Refueling Wing commander with driving under the influence of alcohol is on file at the Loudon County Sheriff's Office in connection with a Dec. 18 traffic stop. According to Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider, truck drivers helped Deputy Jason Scott stop Col. John Keenan near mile marker 76 on Interstate 75. A blood-alcohol test showed the veteran military officer had a 0.38 blood-alcohol level, well above the legal limit of 0.08 and enough to cause someone to go into a comatose state, the sheriff said. Keenan is being treated at an undisclosed medical facility. Col. Tim Deering is currently acting commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing at McGhee Tyson Airbase. Guider said this is apparently Keenan's first offense and that when he's released from medical care, he'll be taken into custody. The Loudon County warrant states that Scott was dispatched on a call of a reckless driver headed southbound on I-75. The vehicle was not speeding. Deputies couldn't determine if he was under the influence of alcohol because he didn't smell like he had been drinking, but was very disoriented, Guider said. The sheriff said Scott called for an ambulance to transport Keenan to the emergency room at Fort Sanders Medical Center-Loudon. Major General Gus L. Harriet, adjutant general of The Tennessee Air National Guard, released the following statement: 'We are certainly aware of the situation concerning the commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing. We have taken the appropriate steps to ensure that Tennessee Air National Guard Operations continue as normal at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard base. Col. Tim Deering is the acting commander.'"

"Deputy Jason Scott was murdered this morning when he stepped out of his car as he responded to a domestic violence call at the home of Loudon County Assistant District Attorney Frank Harvey. Harvey's son, 16 year old Michael Harvey, is suspected in Officer Scott's death. At this hour, Michael Harvey remains barricaded inside the Harvey residence on Palmer Road in the Shiloh Acres Subdivision. More than one hundred officers from various regional law enforcement agencies are on the scene and at least three other officers are reported to have been wounded in attempting to take the suspect into custody. Speaking to reporters from near the scene of the ongoing standoff, a tearful Sheriff Guider shared his memories of Officer Scott, who had been with the Sheriff's Department for three years."

"According to Loudon County officials, 16 year old Michael Harvey is dead. Law enforcement entered the Harvey home in Loudon County between noon and 1:00 pm on Saturday, ending a tense standoff lasting more than 24 hours. Michael Harvey was found dead in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head. It appears that he had been dead more than 12 hours when he was found, according to sources. Michael Harvey, son of Loudon County Assistant District Attorney, Frank Harvey, had been holed up inside his family's home after Deputy Jason Scott was gunned down there at 8:30 am on Friday. It is believed that the teenager killed Scott as he exited his police vehicle. Loudon County 911 dispatched officers in response to a domestic violence call made by Michael Harvey's mother, who said that her son attacked her with a metal pipe."

"Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of 0.00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'"
�verbatum quote from Tennessee Driver Handbook and Driver License Study Guide (1999 - 2004)
"The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two ways: (1) having a blood alcohol content above the limit set by law, or (2) driving under the influence of alcohol. To find a person guilty under the first definition, a jury (or judge) must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the person's blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeded a certain amount. In most states the legal limit is .08 percent. Therefore, if it is proved that the person's BAC at the time of the incident was .08 percent or greater, he or she can be convicted of drunk driving, regardless of how much alcohol was actually consumed. As a practical matter, one drink would almost certainly not lead to a BAC of .08 percent or greater; generally, a person needs to have five drinks in an hour to develop a BAC of .08 percent. However, if there was something unique about the person or the drink, or other circumstance, one drink could raise the BAC above the legal limit. In contrast, the second definition does not refer to any particular BAC. It focuses on the driving behavior of the person; if it is impaired by the person's consumption of alcohol, he or she can be found guilty of drunk driving. Instead of presenting evidence of the BAC to a jury, the prosecution seeking a conviction under this definition generally presents testimony about the person's driving and consumption of alcohol. A police officer will often describe the impaired driving that lead him to pull the person over and the person's ability (or lack thereof) to perform field sobriety tests, such as walking a straight line. Evidence is also usually presented concerning the person's consumption of alcohol and if the jury then concludes that the prosecution has met its burden of proof, it will convict the person of drunk driving. A susceptible person may exhibit impaired driving after one drink and therefore be convicted of drunk driving."

"It is not the case as the naive might think that indoctrination is inconsistent with democracy, rather it's the essence of democracy. The point is that in a military state or a feudal state or what we would now call a totalitarian state, it doesn't much matter because you've got a bludgeon over their heads and you can control what they do. But when the state loses the bludgeon, when you can't control people by force, and when the voice of the people can be heard you have this problem�it may make people so curious and so arrogant that they don't have the humility to submit to a civil rule, and therefore you have to control what people think. And the standard way to do this is to resort to what in more honest days used to be called 'propaganda', 'manufacture of consent', creation of 'necessary illusion'. Various ways of either marginalizing the public or reducing them to apathy in some fashion."

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol analysis is the failure to identify ethanol (also referred to as ethyl alcohol) to the exclusion of all other chemical compounds. To use the terminology of scientists, such methods are not specific for ethanol: They will detect other compounds as well, identifying any of them as 'ethanol.' Thus a client with other compounds in his blood or breath may have a high 'blood-alcohol' reading with little or no ethanol in his body. If you look at the warranties---it is sort of interesting---none of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually test blood alcohol."
�Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, DUICENTER.COM, Drunk Driving Defense, 5th Edition (2000)
"Drunk driving is a political crime. Unless you understand that and I mean a political crime as we know it today. I see lots of nods out there. Unless you understand that, unless you have that perspective; that you are dealing with a political crime, you are not going to be able to effectively defend a client. You are not going to be able to effectively approach the so called 'scientific evidence' either the magic box or field sobriety tests or horizontal gaze nystagmus or anything else. You must develop that perspective. Many of you sense that there's something wrong--that this particular offense is a little different from other criminal offenses, but you still approach it as a criminal defense attorney, rather than as a DUI attorney. It's important for you to understand and have perspective on what you're dealing with when you go into a DUI case. We've talked about the Constitutional projections and, by the way, what happens in the DUI field--and this is where we are losing our rights, this is where we're losing our rights. What happens today is going to happen tomorrow in other types of offenses. Roadblocks today for DUI. Roadblocks tomorrow for everything else. It's called precedent. Now let's talk about the third area that I'm supposed to talk about today. That is the area of scientific evidence. I use the term scientific very advisedly. Okay, so to attack DUI scientific evidence, you have to understand what you're dealing with. When you're dealing with these quasi-scientific field sobriety tests and these magic boxes, you're talking about the difference between truth and expediency or imposition of order. The system, the legal system, is not concerned with truth. The defense is truth. It's truth. What a mind-boggling concept to a criminal defense lawyer! Think about it. You're criminal defense lawyers. The other side, you know, they've got the eyewitnesses, they've got the fingerprints, they've got the cop-out confession. What are you there for? To blow smoke and raise reasonable doubt, right? You have been trained that way. That's how you pursue and defend your cases. DUI isn't like that. DUI is different. What's different is they're the ones who are blowing smoke. They're the ones that are palming off false science. They're the ones that are palming off this field sobriety crap. You are the ones who are trying to point out to the jury what the truth is. That these--this is not science. This is not true, it is false. This is difficult for some of you to comprehend, that you are interested in bringing truth to the jury in a DUI case. And that is a pretty darn important perspective. I think it's a pretty neat thing. A lot of people ask me why the heck do you defend drunk drivers and nothing else? And I've been doing it for a long time now. Because, two real reasons, one; I firmly believe we are the people at the dam with our fingers in that crack in the dike when it comes to constitutional protection. This is where we're losing it. Two; I like, I really like the feeling that I'm trying to bring the truth to a jury. Long ago I got tired of trying to blow smoke and raise reasonable doubt. I like truth. You've got to understand that is what you are trying to do. You are trying to develop truth. You're trying to get the jury educated to what really is happening. To debunk this false science. Okay, this is the kind of machine that we've got and by the way, understand something else that is critically important for you to impart to the jury. Not only are these things inaccurate, not only does the manufacturer have no confidence in them, but they don't measure alcohol. Right. They don't measure alcohol. Please, by a show of hands, how many people here know what I'm talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, this machine does not measure alcohol! What it measures is any compound that has the methyl group in it. It's a stupid machine, okay? Their expert will call it a smart machine--state-of-the-art. Smart, meaning it's self-diagnostic and so on. It's a stupid machine. It does not recognize alcohol when it sees it. It does not measure alcohol."
�Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, DUICENTER.COM, audiotape trascript: "Attacking Blood-Alcohol Evidence"
"Breath testing devices in America have been in use since the early 1940's, although the first ones were crude, highly inaccurate pieces of equipment. They were also subject to extreme operator error, if not operated correctly. A troubling trend seems to be emerging in a few states. Handheld fuel cell devices (which run on batteries) are being allowed for EVIDENTIAL testing purposes, not just preliminary screening for alcohol. With blood tests, the use of an alcohol laden swab on subject's skin contaminates the puncture site and voids the test by the state. Most states do not permit forcible retrieval of a blood sample from a suspected DUI driver unless death or serious injury to another person has resulted from a DUI related accident. Therefore, results obtained in such cases will be void. When you are required to submit to the official state test for BAC, ALWAYS insist on your own independent BAC tests. Some states require you to obtain your tests on your own initiative, and will tell you nothing about your rights to seek another test. Other states will advise you of this right, and will even transport you to a facility for giving a sample, if you are going to be kept in custody. If the police deprive you of your freedom of movement and then elicit answers to incriminating questions from you without first giving your Miranda warnings, your attorney may be able to suppress any admissions made by you while in custody. Whenever submitting to the state's BAC tests, always ask the test operator to preserve a sample of the breath, urine or blood so that the sample can be independently tested later. Some states have developed a fairly lax set of rules for blood testing, whereby testing methods other than GC and GC-MS can be used. In most hospitals, alternative testing methods are often utilized, because they are FASTER. Time is money in a hospital. Plus, emergency situations call for quicker testing methods than the laborious process of setting up a proper GC or GC-MS test. One major difference in most hospital tests is that these are often done on blood serum, not the 'whole' blood. Whenever plasma is tested, the results can be as much as 20% higher than when whole blood is utilized."

"Most attorneys harbor many myths and misconceptions about this offense. These can lead to malpractice. In this article, I will address five myths about defending accused drunk drivers. Myth Number 1: Most people accused of this crime are guilty. This is perhaps the most troubling myth�one harbored by attorneys and the general public. In my opinion, an attorney who believes this should never represent a person accused of drunk driving. That mindset can eliminate objectivity. There are at least 30 ways to rebut the evidence from these machines if the attorney understands how the machines work, what causes them to malfunction, and that they are nonspecific for alcohol. Without doing exhaustive research, no attorney would understand their internal workings enough to cross-examine the state's witnesses effectively on their alleged accuracy. The defense should leave no stone unturned. These cases require detailed investigation, as does a complex murder case that involves fiber evidence, ballistics tests, or other intricate issues. Attorneys who do not investigate thoroughly and defend the client aggressively do the client a disservice and expose themselves to possible liability. In addition, they harm the legal profession by failing to fully represent the client. Most of those convicted also suffer serious financial and social consequences. In most states, a drunk driving conviction can never be removed from a driving record, so convicted offenders must endure the consequences of their convictions for the rest of their lives. However, it is not illegal for adults to drive after drinking alcoholic beverages in any state. These naive attorneys don't realize how much exposure to liability they have if they counsel clients to give up their constitutional and statutory rights and plead guilty to this serious offense. Yet these same attorneys would probably not hesitate to refer these same clients to specialists if they were charged with securities fraud. Some clients discover the folly of their plea before the statute of limitations on their potential malpractice claim against their former attorney expires. A suit for malpractice may be the only way they can hope to achieve some semblance of recovery for the devastating effects of a drunk-driving conviction. In most states insurance rates for convicted drunk drivers will increase 500 percent to 1,000 percent above the premiums paid before the conviction. Most credit bureaus now include drunk driving convictions on credit reports. This not only will affect future credit, but it may also prevent convicted drivers from getting jobs. Many people wrongly convicted of drunk driving need not passively suffer these consequences. Relief may be as close as the nearest attorney who handles legal malpractice cases. Any judge or jury will sympathize with former trusting clients who can show that they lost jobs or homes and suffered other serious penalties as a result of a conviction that should never have occurred. Myth Number 4: These cases can't be won.
This is the most prevalent myth about these cases. Not only do members of the general public believe this; so do many attorneys. In fact. experienced drunk driving defense lawyers 'win' most cases of first offenders when there is no evidence of a wreck or other manifest bad driving."

An Indictment of Journalistic Negligence, Fraud, Aids & Abets Gangster Government By John Lee Military and police "intelligence" requires gathering what US Attorney General John Ashcroft likes to call "puzzle pieces". A jugsaw puzzle is not composed of a single "puzzle piece", but may require thousands of intricate pieces to be analyzed and woven together before viewing The Big Picture. A single DUI arrest of a military officer, by itself, is "no big deal", the news mediae allege, other than to broadcast that headlined 30-second sound-byte for a couple days. As if, "Another drunk driver bites the dust. That's all the news you have a need to know." By itself, that "routine" DUI arrest is a mere single piece to the eternal puzzle of, "What the fuck is going on?!" Is this DUI just another Dram Shop conspiracy of a retail merchant selling hooch to a whino? Or does it prove that drivers are routinely held hostage by psychiatric corporations, extorting maximum limits of mental health insurance coverage via their power of "involuntary commitment", as newly mandated by legislators (who are bought and paid for by $100-million/year in lobbyist bribes, er, "campaign contributions"), with bribes, er, kickbacks, er "commissions" on drug sales paid by and pharmaceutical salesmen to emergency room butchers, er, "doctors"? By adding a 1,000 more puzzle pieces, an entirely different conspiracy emerges. In fact, many sobering conspiracies merge after focusing on facts and losing one's double vision. (Provided one has an attention span beyond that of the average couch potatohead with a beer in one hand and a remote control in the other.) In May 2002, Ashcroft "apologized" (made excuses) for our governments' failure to stop genocidal terrorist conspiracies in America on September 11, 2001. He accepted zero personal responsibility and blamed none of his superiors. In fact, he wanted a pay raise. In addition to U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Acts, that literally classified traffic violations and jaywalking as acts of terrorism, he demanded additional secret laws to spy on American citizens. Ashcroft claimed his FBI agents owned no computers and were banned from surfing the internet looking for clues. Not-so-gentle readers to this website are less clueless than your typical butt-nosed FBI agent. Traffic cops in the DUI Civil War are paid a $1-million bribe, er, salary and pension, to perp fraud upon the public, and to aid-and-abet sedition, as America is looted by the gangsta governments' chain-of-command, and invaded by barbarian hordes and foreign carpetbaggers, all immune to prosecution. By definition, mind control of both the masses and the "useful idiots" requires the master manipulators to compartmentalize their minions via "non disclosure" (a salesman's and lawyer's term for "lying with ethics"). This is the trickle-down theory of mass manipulation. Fortunately, a VIP tour inside the filthy Puzzle Palace gives intelligent folk an opportunity to soil their brainwashing. What Would YOU Do? "Situational ethics" is Satan's advocate playing "Survivor" with your soul. What would YOU do for a million bucks? Would you sell out your country? Would you sell out your community? Would you sell your family? Would you sell your sanity to Satan? What do you do when police pull you over in violation of the US and state constitutions, despite observing no traffic violation, and without any intention of writing you a traffic ticket, based on an unsworn allegation from a mystery "informant"? An informant who was illegally using a cell phone, or laptop computer with telephone modem, while driving? A mysterious informant who may be paid cash "commission" by US Department of Homeland Security? What do you do when given a potential life sentence - a so-called "Civil Commitment" to a Looney Bin "Rehab" Psych-ward, with locked doors (i.e., "jail")? Without "benefit" of trial? Without Bail? Without appeal? Does the "Rehab" have a law library to help prepare your legal defense, when time is of the essence? In addition to multiple DUI charges, you risk additional military charges of Absent Without Leave (AWOL) and Desertion (AWOL over 30 days - punishable by DEATH in time of Congressionally declared "war"). (A Constitutional Equal-Protection Doctrine defense can be made against a charge of desertion, since unelected undeclared non-Commander-In-Chief Resident George Bush Jr is a 5-time convicted felon, convicted drunk driver, a convicted thief (now controlling a $1.5-Trillion gov't checking account with line of credit at the private for-profit international Federal Reserve Banking Corporation's counterfeiting operation), and military wartime draft deserter, who was stripped of his National Guard pilot's license for disobeying a lawful order by skipping a flight-medical exam while on diversion in Houston for a narcotics conviction, apparently expunged after completing parole, by his community service in a goverment low-income housing project, or "commuted" by himself as governor of Texas). Patriot Games This is Amerika - in the middle of a raging Top Secret Civil War. With a 5-time convicted felon running the entire US government and its million-man army of Homeland Security police, plus the million-man army of military troops, plus 100,000s of NATO/United Nations troops now controlling former US military bases inside Amerika. Is this a recipe for fireworks? At any rate, to prepare for this DUI case, or any legal case, it pays to analyze all potential variables. Of course, instantaneous proof of all facts is not required. Clues simply tell an investigator where to begin digging for pay dirt. The wing commander's boss is George Walker Bush Jr. Did this boss specifically target his employee for termination? Is it "conspiracy theory" to suspect that office managers coordinate with fellow managers when routinely firing disgruntled employees? Communist Russia and NAZI Germany were notorious for using false criminal accusations as a tool for firing military insubordinates, even during time of war. At least Joseph Stalin was an 8-time-convicted felon (who robbed banks while attending divinity college), but then, Adolf Hitler Schicklegruber was only a one-time convicted felon....
What patriot games are played during the current American Civil War? Now that the Bush Gang has seized control of all state and local police departments via federal grants, along with FBI, CIA, et al., are US Department of Homeland Security police now attacking Pentagon players by "selective enforcement"? Including selective prosecution of drunk-driving laws? Is this wing commander on a Presidential "Enemies List", such as the routine "Friends List" that ALL governments use in USA to pick and choose who gets the bureauRatic jobs, based solely on the official voting records in all county election departments? Selective Enforcement Compare the wing commander's DUI arrest and pre-conviction sentence to the Funny Farm, with the non-arrest of the president of University of Tennessee in Knoxville, in March 2004. The UT president "passed out" while driving on the Interstate, hit-and-run another vehicle, then crashed his own car. Although the driver was "out of his mind", police on the scene did not perform a breath-alcohol nor blood-alcohol test, and did not arrest the president for suspected DUI. The entire crash, amnesia and apparant "intoxication" was blamed on (and "justified" by) a "diabetic coma". Notice how the reported "psychotic" symptoms of the UT president are IDENTICAL, IF NOT WORSE, to those exhibited by the wing commander (the commander was not "incoherent", not UNCONSCIOUS", and did not CRASH). Notice how differently the news media spun the story. Note that Diabetes Syndrome has many causes, and is a symptom of so-called alcoholism, which is why so-called alcoholics self-medicate by sipping alcohol (pure sugar) all day long, to literally temporarily raise ("cure" symptoms of diabetic coma, prevent psychotic behavior, and prevent amnesia) their low blood sugar (preferable to eating candy, since alcohol is an antidepressant that self-medicates for depression). Notice that the "diabetic" president reportedly suffered from an attack of "Low Blood-Sugar", but "Diabetes Syndrome" is normally associated with HIGH blood-sugar (HYPERglycemia, hence the need for Insulin injections for Type-1 Diabetes, with Type-2 Diabetic symptoms of "Low Blood-Sugar" (HYPOglycemia) now affecting 50% of the US population). Notice this college president is paid a government salary of $750,000/year (same as the new Tennessee government "Lottery" directors/carpet-baggers, while UT instructors with Masters degrees and full professors with PhDs are paid $3,000 to $6,000/year salaries (PhDs at $3,000/year)). ISN'T THE UT PRESIDENT GUILTY OF THE CRIMES OF "THEFT", "FRAUD" AND "EMBEZZLEMENT"? (The UTK football coach is paid a government salary of $2-Million/year.) Notice that the government did not immediated strip the president of his "command" and summarily fire him, BUT THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT WAS FIRED FOR BUYING CARPET OF THE "WRONG" COLOR ("Go Big Orange"), while massive contract Fraud, Waste and Abuse continues as "normal" under the new UT president. The governor cancelled this webmaster's TennCare medical insurance coverage for alleged lack of funds, and cut this webmaster's Vocational Rehabilitation scholarship to college by eliminating the book allowance, and cancelling ALL classes in remedial math for ALL sutdents (and required by 30% of ALL college students before they can take ANY college-level classes), despite Tennessee government bragging it has a minimum $4.3-BILLION surplus in its Consolidated Annual Financial Reports (CAFR), which are government "pension" funds (looted just like Mafia gangsters routinely loots pension funds from trade-unions). Notice all the news reports about "University of Tennessee Medical Center" CENSOR the legal fact that "UT Hospital" is NOT owned nor operated by UT nor State of Tennessee governments, but is now owned by a CANADIAN corporation (partnered with the British Commonwealth under the Queen of England who is third-cousin to trillionaire US president George Bush Jr., who both hold a joint $100-Billion joint bank account with their business partner Saddam Hussein), as all lawsuits for medical malpractice or wrong death must name as defendants in court documents. Obviously, something very "special" happened to the wing commander, via process of a "DUI arrest". Are coup d'etats in America merely coincidental with selective prosecutions of military commanders (waging a "counter-coup d'etat"to save America versus the president of USA and his narco gangsters - and his million-man army of Homeland-Security traffic cops)? Which side of the fence is the wing commander riding? Or, is he merely another ignorant grunt in the army of useful idiots brownnosing for a fat government pension? If this DUI nightmare can destroy a "god" of the so-called "elite", someone who is, er, was, the highest-ranking commanding officer at an active-duty military base, a 40-year-old rising star with an extremely bright future in both military and civil aviation careers, who rountinely works, er, worked, fist-in-glove with local police departments in Martial Law Joint Task Forces versus the local citizens, what does this bode for the rest of us mere mortals? Once upon a time, America had no jails or prisons, and taxpayers paid virtually no taxes. Now America leads the world by arresting 100-million of its own citizens every year (over 1/3rd of its population), with over 1-percent of its population locked in prison at any given moment (nearly 30-million). And taxes now exceed 50% for most Amerikans. DUI arrests are the coup d'grat of Police State powers, used to "justify" instant arrest of ALL drivers and passengers and seize all their property and put them into involuntary servitude, i.e., slavery. "Normal" traffic citations don't give the Police State power of enslavement. Now, with this precedent-detting DUI arrest by the Police State's traffic cops, using secret informants from Homeland Security's Highway Watch T.I.P.S. program, the latest victims of DUI arrests face lobotomized life in a Communist Gulag. Zero tolerance of theft of constitutional rights is the only defense tolerated by freedom. Amerikan drivers who mind their own business and don't crash into other people are now officially labeled "TERRORISTS", stripped of their citizenship rights, and disappear forever into the Amerikan Gulag Archipelago! As old Ben warned the gullible from Franklin's private slaughterhouse in London, England, the price of such tolerance is death.
Maybe, just maybe, police and military would make better use of their time arresting 50-Million illegal alien invaders and guarding the border of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Oh, I forgot, the purpose of Amerikan police and military is to rob, imprison or kill all Amerikans, while leaving the US borders wide open for 100-million tax-exempt criminal aliens and terrorists, who police are never allowed to arrest. How else can the New World Odor overthrow America and create a global united dictatorship?

Police Reports Inadmissible as Evidence Police Reports are NOT admissible as evidence in court. They are not sworn under oath. They NEVER replace a live police officer who is constitutionally REQUIRED to testify in court under oath regarding his alleged observations and allegations. This is why parking citations and photo-radar traffic tickets are unconstitutional. Police reports merely document basic facts of the case for record keeping, like names, dates and locations, and exactly what "crime" is alleged (complete with statute/code number). But the officer still MUST testify that he personally investigated and discovered those facts. The police report does NOT go into details and specifics of what allegedly happened, or what the defendant allegedly admitted and "confessed" to. It TRIES to list the "essential elements" of the alleged crimes, but only in generic "boilerplate". This is a public record on file with the court clerk's docket. The police officer uses a second "report" for his "personal notes", which is to remind him how to testify in court, IF the defendant cannot be coerced and extorted into "pleading gulty" and giving up without a fight. If a police officer tries to testify with his "cheat notes" handy, then his entire testimony can be objected to and stricken from the record (resulting in instant victory for the defendant), since the officer basically has total amnesia of this heinous crime he accused someone of.
FREE TIP: The Law alleges it's not "rape" unless you just say "NO" and instantly fight to the death, otherwise you "voluntarily consent" under oral civil contract for sex and you waiver all your legal rights. Over 30-Million homosexual rapes occur annually in Amerikan Police State Gulags, including rapes perped by homosexual police officers, helping the Police State spread its bioweaponized AIDS epidemic. There are four additional ways to personally make an arrest, including citizen's arrest ("private" arrest) and special prosecutor (private attorney), when corrupt police and prosecutors insist on protecting their fellow criminals (while prosecuting victimless "crimes" against 100-million Amerikans per year, mainly traffic "arrests"), as detailed below. You even have the Constitutional right to arrest any police officer who breaks The Law. All you need to know is (1) How to locate the exact "law" that is violated, (2) HOW TO MAKE AN EYEWITNESS ALLEGATION (an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Complaint), (3) where to file it with a COURT (NOT a police station), so that the local Police Army does all the hard, dangerous work. Then police will follow YOUR orders for a change (technically, the police are thus following THE COURT'S order). Knoxville is a hotbed of elite homosexual rapist ativity with politicians, top cops, military officers and with masters of the disinfotainment media corporations, who are all literally in bed together (or who run around nekked in the woods with 3,000 of their richest friends and worship a 50-foot-tall stone idol and perform ritual "mock" human sacrifice at Bohemian Grove presidential retreat). Just like Washington DC is a hotbed of elite homosexual activity involving former president George Bush Sr and Congressman Barney Franks, both of whom were involved with snuff kiddie porn and pedophile prostitution extortion rings, as reported in banner headlines of the Washington Times. These are the same people who write the laws, and who select who to selectively enforce "their" laws against. Who's going to Hell today? Perhaps news reports of a UT professor raping men at gunpoint explains why UT's official student/robot radio station, WUTK 90.3 FM, runs promo loops promoting snuff kiddie porn at Bohemian Grove. Ths adverts use the voice of actor Johnny Depp, in his Hollywood role portraying drug-addicted alcoholic journalist Hunter S. Thompson, during Thompson's drunken doper assignment for Rolling Stone magazine in the Mafia's sin-city, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Thompson is named in sworn court documents to perping the videography during snuff kiddie porn at Bohemian Grove, as filed by Nebraska state senator John DeCamp, attorney-at-law, and reported in his bombshell book, The Franklin Coverup. Thompson also gave all bikers a bad rapsheet from his year "undercover" with an official Hell's Angels Corporation gang. Perhaps Thompson is more like most journalists than they care to confess? WUTK also routinely runs adverts by the "Shriners" (30th Degree and above Freemasons), and emphasize "giving hope and help to kids for over 80 years" (by putting them in "free" Death Camp hospitals, performed deadly medical experiments on them, harveting their organs, and/or kidnapping them permanantly from their parents).
To understand the law in Amerika, there is one essential issue that is NEVER taught in any law school classroom. Many, if not most, of the elitists literally worship Lucifer (Satan, Devil, Apollo the Destroyer mentioned in Revelation 9:11, et al.). These Churches of Satan are not only located in EVERY town and city in the USA (and proudly advertise their buildings and march in parades), but their members have infiltrated the highest positions in every school, university, police agency, courthouse - and church ("Christian", "Televangelist", "Jewish", Islamic, etc.) - in the nation.... Johnny Depp also played a doper cop in the Hollywood movie From Hell, confessing that Satanic Freemason copsters staged the Jack the Ripper ritual serial killings to save the British Monarchy from "sin"�and from legitimate heirs to the throne. Those nice Freemasons and Shriners who run Amerika's corporate courts of "justice" today, who hang with their buds in coffins drinking blood and worshipping a Baphomet. FOR REAL. No wonder judges hate the 10 Commandments. It's small comfort to think of judges stripped half nekked with bags over their heads, rope nooses around their necks (the origin of "neckties" worn by lawyers in all courtrooms today), getting electrotortured with cattle prods, during the Masonic Mafia's initiation ceremony for its "Third Degree" (only 390 degrees to go, plus payment of $100-million in initiation fees and annual dues). World Masonic grand commander General Albert Pike, attorney-at-law, was the first general counsel and a founder of the Ku Klux Klan Corporation (terrorist cells first chartered in Pulaski, Tennessee) and was a president of the Tennessee Bar Association.
UPDATE: Isn't it a coincidence that the one police officer REQUIRED to testify against the wing commander during his trial for alleged DUI, was gunned down and killed before he could testify at that trial? Isn't it a coincidence, that the prosecutor of the wing commander during that DUI trial lost a family member during that same shootout? Deputy Jason Scott was the only eyewitness capable of testifying on the ESSENTIAL Element of the wing commander's alleged bad driving and alleged intoxication at the scene of the "crime".
Isn't it coincidence that both of the dead could be confused with being identical twins?
Isn't it coincidental that the murdered deputy was buried by a Luciferian Masonic "Baptist" church instead of the Methodist church he was actually a member of?
Isn't it coincidental that the person who allegedly triggered this initial assault and who first called police - the wife of the Loudon County prosecutor - ran a division of one of the most-corrupt corporations in the history of the United States, accused of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from gullible donors?
Isn't it coincidental that Freemasons, during their Luciferian initiations, must take an oath to murder ("sacrifice") their entire family, if ever ordered to do so by their superiors in their Masonic-Mafia cult? Wives of Freemasons often join the related organization, the Order of the Eastern Star, presumably with similar blood-oaths. All Masonic initiations re-enact the Masonic murder of the god of Freemasonry, Hiram Abif, archetect from the King Hiram of Tyre (Babylon) who was murdered by his fellow Masons during construction of King Soloman's Satanic temple, as mentioned throughout the Christian Bible. Re-enacting this murder is is the source of the term "Third Degree", when used to describe police torturing, and often killing, a suspect to coerce a "confession", as witnessed nightly on TeeVee sitcons.
Isn't it coincidental that Deputy Jason Scott was ambushed by high-powered rifle while he sat in his patrol car, before he ever knocked on the door of the prosecutor's house? Why would the son of a prosecutor panic, since he knew he had the perfect legal defender in his father? Even if he were doped up and suffering withdrawal from prescription psychiatric medications (known to cause homicidal and suicidal tendencies), surely he would have reacted less insane than by opening fire while unprovoked? Was this deputy intentionally sacrificed by his superiors in a Masonic-Mafia cult? Or, was it some other retaliation from another Death Squad? Who exactly were members of the 150-man multi-agency Task Force army, especially the ones on TV wearing "Urban Cammo Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs)"? Did Tennessee National Guard supply any members of that Task Force? Or did any other military or federal branch? Or, was this all mere coincidence, making this wing commander the luckiest (and "happiest"?) defendant in a DUI case in history? Isn't it coincidental the deputy was not wearing his "bullet-proof" vest (a/k/a NON-bullet-proof "flak jacket", which can always be penetrated by bullets fired from any high-power hunting rifle, which are much more powerful than modern 7.62mm or 5.56mm "assault rifles", that are mere shadows of World War 2 "assault rifles" like the 30-06 caliber M-1 and .308-caliber M-14). Who ordered him not to wear his "bullet-proof" vest to the prosecutor's house? Was this really a 16-year-old kid who was late for school doing all this shooting at police? As Sheriff Guider on WATE TV described it: "He waited until the SWAT team was within 20 yards of the front door, then he opened fire, and immediately ran to the back of the house and opened fire on the SWAT officers approaching the back door, driving them to retreat". Does that sound like a dumb kid to you? Is this really the kind of education that Lenoir City High school gives its students, with its non-existant Gun Club, Hunting Club and JROTC programs? Isn't it a coincidence that over $1-BILLION/year of illegal narcotics flows through the wing commander police checkpoints at McGhee-Tyson International Airport/ Tennessee Air National Guard Base/ "Federal" Express Corporation's cargo terminal? How does an assistant DA afford a new house on the lake? Since the beginning of Prohibition, bootleggers have gravitated to beach-front and lake-front properties, where boats are immune to traffic roadblocks by highway police.
Is it coincidental that the Loudon County School Superintendent, who "Locked Down" the schools during the deadly "Columbine" shooting spree (as news reports called the Loudon lockdown that jailed ALL innocent students), has a last name of Miller? (SWAT cops confessed on audiotape to gunning down the Columbine kids, as detailed in pending lawsuits. One of the kid shooters was an Air Force Brat, son of a rich fighter pilot who grew up on psychiatric meds from military doctors on on military bases. Colorado police had 15 contacts with the two kid shooters but refused to act to prevent the mass murders. The two kids would never have been able to carry dozens of 50-pound propane bombs into the school past armed security police, and witnesses saw additional shooters inside the school. The school even allowed the two kid shooters to film a premditated class videotape of them practicing their killer Enforcer tactics of their Trenchcoat Mafia, for a homeowrk assignment. Can you say "Project MONARCH", "MK/ULTRA" and "MIND KONTROL"?) Did Sheriff's Deputy Jason Scott finally make a traffic stop of "THE WRONG PERSON" - the wing commander - someone who was an essential ingredient to the free-trade zone of illegal narcotics at McGhee-Tyson, in whatever capacity - either wittingly or clueless (by-alcoholism?)? Is that why Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider was so apologetic on TV the night of the wing commander's initial arrest for alleged DUI: "We had no idea who he was!" Why was cold-blooded cop Guider literally crying tears on TV, on the night of the deadly shootout at his prosecutor's lakeside mansion? Was the sheriff reminded of the night a political lobbyist for the Tennssee legislature was gunned down at a mayor's houseboat in Loudon County, and the sheriff was required to obstruct justice and aid and abet the murderers, by removing the dead body and transporting it to the dead man's own house, contrary to the 9-11 telephone dispatch audiotape recordings of a burgler at the houseboat? (For daring to print that 9-11 transcript in a Loudon County newspaper, that reporter was forced to point his Uzi submachine gun at a mafia hitman sent to kill him: "I can pull the trigger and make up any story I want! Now tell me who sent you!" After confessing details of the assassination plot, the hitman was granted a pardon on his life the investigative journalist: "You back to her and tell her to BACK OFF!, but the hitman's mafia boss wasn't so forgiving. The failed hitman was died a violent death two weeks later.) Isn't it coincidental that the general contractor for the giant auditorium for this tiny church, located in tiny unincorporated Philadelphia, Tennessee (865/458-5021) was an ARAB (presumably a Muslim), Raja Jubran, owner of Denark Construction Corporation. Denark is the fire-frone/fraud-prone billion-dollar corporate-welfare contractor for Skull & Bones mayor Victor Ashe in Knoxville, Tennessee, and for $20-million corporate welfare (with an option on $1-Billion higher taxes to fund "Universe Knoxville" or "Universe Sevierville") for Scripps-Howard media cartel (members of Satanic Bohemian Grove presidential retreat for snuff kiddie porn, ritual human sacrifice and necrophilia), owner of Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper (which officially believes that police officers deserve to be murdered by drug-dealing mafia hitmen who hang out with Knoxville's sheriffs). Teflon Tim Knox County sheriff Tim Hutchinson assisted in the Task Force raiding the house of the Loudon County prosecutor and his alleged cop-killing son. Who is this unmasked man? In March 2004, Knox County sheriff Tim Hutchinson was named in banner headlines at Knoxville News-Sentinel as a business partner with tow-trucker Randy Hinton (paid $50,000/year with an invisible no-bid contract), owner of Chestnut Street Garage, Cedar Bluff 24-Hour Towing (CBT) and Moneymakers Towing in Loudon County ("Hutchison land deals raise conflict questions", March 7, 2004). William Miller lives in Loudon County in The House that Garbage Built, as local residents call it. Miller is chairman of Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) and Miller Indistries, among many others all over the world, with $40-Billion annual revenues. BFI was named by A&E TV's Investigative Reports - "Modern Mobs", as having 25 subcontractors convicted under RICO Act for membership in Gambino and Genovese Mafia families. BFI owns 10,000 garbage trucks. Miller Industries owns 10,000 tow trucks (possibly the owner of the company that towed the wing commander's car). Miller is a "Jewish" name, as in Marylin Monroe's egghead Jewish husband, Arthur Miller. History Channel reports that for over 100 years, the "Jewish mafia" has controlled the "Italian Mafia", based out of New York City ("Jew York City"), since the "Jews" immigrated to America before the Italians. CBT was owned by Miller Industries in partnership with Ben McGovern (who allegedly tried to murder a girlfriend by pushing her out of his moving truck and breaking her limbs). McGovern's son Michael is the attorney representing all the government-employed tow-truckers in Knoxville sued in class action by Skull & Bones mayor Victor Ashe for fraud, extortion, theft and racketeering, including Chestnutt Street Garage and CBT (using a verbatum legal brief as writing by this webmaster when sueing the mayor, his police and his towing contractors). Sheriff Hutchinson was previously named on the front page of the Sentinel as confessing to stealing cars with a convicted cop-killing tow-trucker, Roy Lee Clark (according to his own chief of detectives, J.J. Jones), at West Town Mall (Mafia owned and operated as reported in cover story by Metro Pulse, who one week later coincidentally found one of its journalists floating face-down in the lake in dead of winter). Hutchinson also confessed to renting an airport from a convicted felon drug kingpin. Hutchinson also confessed to building hundreds of houses with his convicted felon business partner (who lacked a license). Hutchinson was also convicted of six counts of criminal contempt of court for PERJURY (LYING UNDER OATH IN COURT TESTIMONY), but did not serve jail time in his own jail, since he was too "busy" running it. So Teflon Tim, spokesman for the murder of Deputy Scott, is a criminally convicted LIAR. Teflon Tim the Perjuror alleged Deputy Scott was shot was Michael Harvey, who are no longer alive to speak for themselves. Tennessee leads the nation in number of sheriffs convicted of drug dealing. In fact, the previous sheriff of Knox County, Joe Jenkins, was convicted and sent to prison for million-dollar car theft to feed his cocaine hobby. Crazy Judges Go to Hell Speaking of Devils, note that the former general sessions judge in Loudon County was named by local lawyers, using their professional opinions, as "Crazy Judge Gibson". (Apparently the term "sober as a judge" was based in fact, as Crazy Judge Gibson allegedly kept his courtroom "bar" well-stocked and his glass full of odor-free vodka throughout the day as the zoo, er, court was in session. Why do you think lawyers call it "admittance to the 'bar'" when you walk past the swinging gate?) The new judge was elected on a campaign to "finally get tough on drunk drivers".
The two DUI charges use Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure (T.R.Crim.P.), where a defendant has four separate "bench trials" (i.e., Probable Cause hearings without a jury). Or 5 bench (summary) trials, if you count the traffic cop acting as judge, prosecutor, jury and/or summary executioner of motorists on the highway, where drivers get their first "opportunity" to "talk" (usually beg) their way out of a traffic ticket or DUI arrest. The first is "Arraignment #1", usually on the day of arrest, although 48 hours is usually the max delay after arrest. This is in sessions court, with an appointed (unelected) magistrate (basically a law clerk/lawyer), or a judicial commissioner (in larger counties). Most defendants are clueless that they may fight to defend themselves at this point, and have no clue about rules of procedure and rules of evidence. Since all that is accusing them is a mere sworn allegation/opinion by a cop, they only need to rebut that allegation with their own sworn allegation (must be sworn in if oral testimony, or notarized if written). If they have lawyers, their lawyers will usually keep their mouths shut, to ensure they still have a paycheck�and a career at the end of the day without a disbarment civil trial. "Arraignment #2" is a "bench trial" (no jury) in general sessions court. If the defendant loses this trial, appeals and demands a jury trial, and does not waiver a grand jury, the case is "bound over to the grand jury".
The grand jury is "Arraignment #3". Most defendants do not know they can write a letter to the foreman of the grand jury and ask to present rebuttal evidence of Probable Cause (defense lawyers are not allowed to speak to the grand jury, at least not with their clients in the room, and defendants had better study tactics and strategy to prevent "confession" to something they did not do). Most defendants lose this hearing by default. "Arraignment #4" is one of the many pretrial motion hearings in the circuit court. The "official" names of "arraignment" do match this paragraph, but this explanation is my own invention, in an attempt to explain something that is apparently supposed to remain an unsolved mystery. Winning any of these hearings results in nipping the proseution in the bud, without the expensive ordeal of trial by jury (your best friends are on a jury, who may be thankful for learning the censored facts of bogus DUI arrests and prosecutions). Prosecutorial Perps WARNING: Tennessee prosecutors, judges and "public defenders" promote unconstitutional double jeopardy, where a defendant winning a "trial" in General Sessions Court is prosecuted a second time in Circuit Court for the exact same alleged offense (also requiring a second payment of bail and attorney fees). This also protects the gangster government from losing in court and getting sued or arrested for official oppression, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest, false imprisonment and assault.
Note the extreme power that's controlled by certain government agents, including judges, prosecutors and police officers. Career criminals would KILL to have that kind of power, which is why "successful" criminals send their kids to law school or police academies. After ruthless career criminals have successfully infiltrated governments, they redirect the focus of its "justice" system so it aids and abets their criminal conspiracies. This includes retargeting law enforcement at honest, law-abiding Amerikans via "selective enforcement", in order to not only to keep the number of arrests high, but to increase "market share" of the ciminals' conspiracies. Sociopaths and psychopaths feel no guilt over mugging innocent victims, neither outside nor inside the courtroom. Throughout history, nations are always destroyed when good citizens lose control of their governments to gangsters.
As mayor of New York City, Mobbed-up mayor Giuliani trumped 35,000 police officers and hundreds of prosecutors and appointed judges. Instead of prosecuting the Amerikan mobsters and gangsters who loot $1.2-Trillion/year from city pension funds and perped the terror massacres on September 11, 2001, Giuliani illegally ordered his police army to arrest street artists and jaywalkers, and write $300-Million/year in unconstitutional parking tickets. Disguntled police have since purchased newspaper adverts begging forgiveness from the disgruntled taxpayers and blowing the whistle on Giuliani, but not a single cop had the guts or integrity to arrest Giuliani. Meanwhile, $500-Million was stolen from NYPD pension funds in just one week after 9-11. Now Giuliani is bribed $25-Million/year in hush money to "speak" to city governments about how to "fight terrorism".
The state automatically suspends every driver's license of a person who allegedly tests above the per se "legal limit" of 0.08% "blood-alcohol" level, and this separate trial is by "adminstrative hearing", using a third type of law, the Tennessee Administrative Procedure Act. No matter what court you are in, circuit court, sessions court or admin court, all use Tennessee Rules of Evidence. It is critical in all courts to know the ten-step process required before a judge MUST consider evidence, otherwise a judge can simply ignore key exhibits, including government documents. This is called "Law of the Case". The judge literally has an "empty mind", and literally is NOT required to obey the law - UNLESS a person properly enters that law into evidence. The battle is a wrestling match with the judge to force the judge to read or hear the law and facts. Appeals judges can legally ignore the law as well, after the inferior court judge has "successfully" censored the law from the official record. Just filing the law in a written brief is often not good enough, and a smart lawyer or pro se litigant will find a way to read the law into the judge's ears in open court, making it a part of the transcript and audio tapes. Interuptions by judges and prosecutors is a common tactic to censor the transcript, since it is impossible to understand words on tape when two people are talking at once. Lower courts do not make their own tape recordings, so defendants must always make their own tapes, even when only as backup for the official tape. This fraud by the courts in ALL "traffic citations" is perped in order to better defraud the sheeple, by alleging all defendants must "plead guilt" under bogus Criminal Rules of Procedure. This is like defendants trying to play a game of softball, against an opposing team and their employer "referees" playing a game of professionall FOOTBALL. It's impossible to win any game when you don't don't the rules of the game. Of course, this is felony for judges and prosecutors to play their conspiracy "game" (WAR). Many former judges and prosecutors currently reside in prisons (FBI and US Dept. of Justice "forget" to include these stats in their annual crime reports). "Abuse of Discretion" by crooked judges is technically named "jury nullification" in judges' role as the so-called "13th Juror". Since all juries are allowed and required to veto every law that violates the best interests of the nation, crazy judges allege they may use this jury power to break the law and destroy the nation. "Stare Decisis" is the basis of "case law", where courts decide "precedent-setting" cases in a vain attempt to "simplify" the courts. Stare decisis attempts to perpetuate criminal activity, racketeering and organized crime perped by the courts on a massive scale. However, judicial discretion also allows every judge to overrule all other judges, and to correct precedents of judicial abuse�but only when the defendant objects and demands it on the record in court. Since this requires hard work by lawyers and pro se litigants, very few people even try to stand up for their constitutional, statutory and God-given rights.

Sane Juries Trial by jury is a race by the defense to educate the dumbed-down jurors on their legal responsibility to veto unconstitutional laws, while fending off the corrupt judges who illegally ban fully informed juries. In a DUI case, a jury can be a defendant's best friends. Back during national Prohibition of manufacturing and retailing of alcohol, informed juries would imbibe the evidence during jury deliberations, then aquit the bootlegger for prosecutors' "loss" of eveidence. Without evidence, an Essential Element is missing from the prosecutors' case. Thus the jury is forced to aquit for prosecutors' "failure to prosecute".
Liberty or Death? People under ANY arrest face a potential Death Penalty, since it's unprofitable to pay medical doctors to take care of sick patients, especially expensive diseases, like diabetes syndrome and systemic infections. If police don't arrest you for DUI by medical condition, they can arrest you for DUI under a doctor's care. If you choose to exercise your Constitutional right to remain silent to interrogation by police, will police and media dittoheads allege: "He didn't know where he was, or who the president was?" Will The Homeland's courts now allege citizens who remain silent are "mentally ill" and/or "resisting arrest"? Is the word "Homeland" replacing the soverign nations of "united States of America", just like the corporation "United States of America" (a subsidiary of United Nations Corporation) already has? Why don't reporters use the word "alleged" when police make accusations without providing any solid proof?
The idiotbox news reported the arrestee (allegedly) "was so drunk he didn't know what direction he was driving, answering the officer he was driving TO Knoxville, when he was driving in the opposite direction." In fact, the driver was driving from Nashville to his home in Loudon County, requiring ALL drivers to drive from Nashville "TO Knoxville", until the final one or two miles on the Interstate. Lenoir City is virtually a suburb of the "Knoxville" metro area. Knoxville, like all major cities, swallows entire towns via predatory annexation (to double property and sales tax profits for the Communist Police State's municipal corporations and its Mafia contractors). So, it's natural to answer a police officer's arrest/interrogation-at-gunpoint, "I am driving from Nashville 'TO Knoxville'." Twisting this "voluntary" confession-under-duress is what cops confess when they eventually CONCLUDE their criminal investigation and finally give a Miranda Warning, "Anything you say can and WILL be used against you in a court of law." This driver SUCCESSFULLY travelled 180 miles from Nashville to "Knoxville" without crashing, and WITHOUT any "complaints" from other drivers until the final mile of his journey, within a mile or two of exiting the Interstate. What would you do, when, despite police "observing" no "odor of alcohol" (never mind that pure alcohol has no odor), you are "arrested" and transported in a locked police car to the jailhouse? Meanwhle, your car is seized by (and possibly forfeited to) "Moneymaker's" Towing Service (a subsidiary of the Mafia-connected tow-trucking chop-shop car-theft cartel headquartered in East Tennessee). Most of the tow truckers in the Knoxville metro area (including Moneymakers' parent corporation Chestnut Street Garage in Knoxville) were busted for perpetrating massive overcharging of nonconsentual "customers" and criminal fraud on government contracts ("racketeer-influenced and criminal organizations" punishable under the RICO Acts). These multinational corporations are accused by a Knoxville mayor, city council and distrct attorney general with racketeering and organized crime. In fact, this wing commander resides in Lenoir City, home of William Miller (in the "House That Garbage Built" on US Highway 11/Kingston Pike, adjacent to Knox County line), the chairman of the board of this $40-Billion/year cartel. This Mafia-convicted cartel was paid $7-Billion profit for its ties to the terrorist massacres perped on September 11, 2001 (blowing up the World Trade Center with Controlled Demolitions, as confessed by Jewish-Austrailian billionaire Larry Silverstein on PBS TV, who rented the WTC from the government and profited $7-Billion in insurance fraud after Silverstein confessed his approval of the FDNY chief's plot to explode the WTC with preinstalled explosive devices - and with living people trapped inside).
Now that you are under arrest, armed police coerce you using fraud and duress to "volunteer" for a so-called breath-alcohol test (that cannot test for alcohol, and has no "passing score", since you are already under arrest BEFORE the test is given).
Deadly Doctors, Necromancers, Necrotic Needles and Iatrogenocide Then you are taken by ambulance to a hospital, where you are forcibly assaulted with a needle and syringe for blood testing, as low-budget simple-minded "screening" for a single potential medical condition (diabetes syndrome with either high or low blood-sugar - just one of many things that scores false "positive" on bogus "alcohol" tests). Either you are coerced via fraud and duress to "consent" to this blood test, or the police STEAL your private medical record of this blood test as alleged criminal evidence, WITHOUT a search warrant (perhaps using the new Police State power of U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act). Any blood test is a potential death penalty. A single bubble of air in the needle is enough to kill a person with vapor-lock. Amerikan medical doctors routinely murder over 1,500,000 Amerikans EVERY YEAR, out of the 5-million total annual deaths. (When this author contacted the Centers for Disease Control for an exact breakdown of US death according to cause of death, the CDC alleged it did NOT keep such totals, nor does any other government agency. County and state Health Departements keep Top Secret Death Certificates that are allegedly not "open public records", so you cannot even find out how many people died in your town that year, nor which hospitals had the highest death totals, nor what was officially listed as "cause of death". Does that government policy sound legitimate to you? Does that sound like a perfect cover for a Death Camp Gulag system, and cover-up of individual serial killings by homicidal doctors and Police State Death Squads? Call your local Health Department and check for yourself....) The average Amerikan is 10,000 times more likely to be murdered by a medical doctor than by a "drunk driver" (and doctors are like judges - many routinely operate under the influence of alcohol and drugs).
Note that these official iatrogenocidal statistics omit 1,250,000 additional aborticidal murders by doctors in Amerika every year. Over 45-Million Amerikans have been aborticided since the US Supreme Court relegalized genocide of Amerikan slaves in 1973, with Roe v. Wade. So Amerikan doctors confess to murdering 1,500,000 Amerikans every year, year after year, decade after decade. The real-world number of Amerikan medical murders is probably double that figure of "premature" deaths, counting intentional censorship and banning of healthy nutrition and related education. A total of 5-Million Amerikans die every year. The number of "DUI-related" deaths is less than 1% of that total.
Even when making the fatal mistake of presuming 15,000 annual "drunk-driving" deaths per year (ignoring fatal driving "instruction techniques" by police, ignoring fatal vehicle designs, and ignoring fatal highway construction by governments), so-called "drunk drivers" still only allegedly initiate 1% of the deaths caused by overpaid "medical doctors" suckling the tit of multinational extortionists, er, gamblers, er, "insurance" companies. Yet doctors, hospital administrators, insurance brokers and government bureauRats are criminally prosecuted less than 0.01% of the time for medical murders. US Border Wars and Alien Invasion Rants In January 2004, to prove how much he loves deconstructing the Amerikan economy, George Bush Jr "created" 50-million instant jobs (while simultaniously exporting US factories and farms under NAFTA), when he granted amnesty pardons to 50-Million illegal alien invaders (infected with TB mycoplasma and other fatal diseases), to replace the 45-million aborticided Amerikans. To further encourage illegal invasion, Bush grnted illegal aliens tax-free status for up to 10 years. Bush ignores the military invasion of USA by 1-million drug-running troops from Mexico and Communist China, shooting and kidnapping American citizens and police, and millions of Mexican MECHA saboteurs seeking violent overthrow of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California and Colorado and "return" of these states to AZTLAN cannibalistic Aztecs in Mexico (Soylent Green is good for you!). No wonder Bushes ordered US military troops out of the USA with Gulf Wars, to better abandon the US border and encourage the infiltration and overthrow of USA via never-ending Civil War. Traffic police of states, counties and cities are never allowed to arrest criminal alien invaders. In many "Safe-Zone Cities", police are banned from running criminal background checks on arrested criminal alien invaders, to check if they were previously convicted in USA of murders, robberies and rapes, or currently wanted for arrest warrants for violent crimes.
US Department of Homeland Security, which swallowed the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), now refuses to pick up illegal aliens already under arrest by local and state police, unless more than 100 aliens are already in custody in that single jail. When this author publicly asked Tennessee Congressman Jimmy Duncan, attorney-at-law and a former criminal-court judge, why this is the law, he sheepishly confessed, "I tried to get legislation passed to allow police to arrest illegal aliens, but it failed to pass in Congress." Apparently, the plan is to give citizenship to 50-Million criminal alien invaders, THEN police can finally arrest them and sue them civilly for traffic citations. But American citizens are arrested over 100-Million times every year. New laws to require 100% of INNOCENT drivers to purchase new and pre-owned vehicles equipped with expensive built-in DUI breathalyzers and dangerous autopilot kill switches (complete with GPS On-Star cell phone radio connection direct to all police agencies seeking to make DUI arrests). Tennessee Department of "Safety" publishes its driver license applications in two languages, English and Spanish. Tennessee is so lax with its applications for driver licenses by illegal aliens, police agencies of other states refuse to accept Tennessee licenses as valid ID. With such insane legislations, obviously designed to destroy America, perhaps our legislators are illegal aliens from outer space?
It's not legal for police in Tennessee to arrest 50-million criminal alien invaders who are terrorists. But it is legal for Tennessee police to sell driver licenses to illegal aliens who are terrorists. And it's okay for police to arrest the wing commander of a Tennessee Air National Guard base during time of "war", for the non-crime of driving under the speed limit on the interstate highway? What's not wrong with this nightmare? |
Mad Dog Flew Over the Cookoos' Nest UPDATE: Isn't it a coincidence that the wing commander was jailed for DUI in the same psychiatric mind-control hospital as the alleged killer of the traffic cop who arrested him for alleged DUI? Was the little cop killer suffering withdrawal from prescription psychiatric medications (known to cause homicidal and suicidal tendencies, and currently subject to many wrongful-death lawsuits)?
Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital is located under the routine flight path for approach and departure to McGhee-Tyson Air National Guard base. The wing commander must have flown over the booby hatch hundreds of times. But mad dogs don't hunt when locked in the kennel. Imagine being arrested then locked up in a Loony Bin, without trial. Release is only possible IF a lawyer files the correct motion for a "show cause" hearing, and the lawyer wins that hearing by proving "sanity" of his client, who is already locked up for allegedly being "insane". A psychiatric hospital is NOT where people go who need competent diagnosis and cures for physical diseases. Medical doctors are never "ethically" allowed to "cure" diseases, only to "treat" the symptoms of their "patient" patients. Doctors are no longer required to take their Hippocratic Oath to avoid doing harm to their patients. The oxymoronic logo for their "practice" of medicine is a poisonous snake, i.e., Satan the Snake tricked Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Evil. Such "mental-health Rehab/Detox" often costs insurance companies and their customers $10,000 per week, in 1980s dollars. BIG Business.
If the Pentagon and US government refuse to diagnose, treat and cure soldiers and civilians infected by its iatrogenocidal "vaccination" program, and if civilian doctors refuse to cure infected veterans, what are the odds that an alcoholism/addiction "Detox/Rehab" clinic will succeed at curing Gulf War diseases? Less than 10% of alcohol "Rehab/Detox" corporations actually do blood testing for infections, and then only for candida yeast infections (that cause autointoxication by manufacturing excessive alcohol inside the human body, and routinely cause iatrogenic death within 24-hours for hospital patients). ZERO percent of "Rehab/Detox" corporations perform blood testing for other infections, like the mycoplasmas that cause so-called "Gulf War" syndromes and deaths. And Gulf War bioweaponized mycoplasma requires a DNA blood test costing $350 (mailed to an out-of-state lab in a cooler on dry ice CO2 at 150 degrees below zero, usually available only from liquor stores), that is impossible for hospitals and clinics to perform inhouse (this test proves it's a Frankenstein creation of the Pentagon, according to Dr. Garth Nicolson who helped invent both this DNA test and this bioweapon, who, incidentally, was warned by the Pentagon not to fly by airline to Washington DC or New York City on September 11, 2001, according to his friend, Dr. Stan Monteith, MD, host of RadioLiberty.com). "Gulf War" Disease is NOT limited to slaves, er, "soldiers" drafted ("Stop Loss") and sent to the Middle East, since these "unknown" vaccinations were/are given to soldiers in Europe and USA, and was injected into slaves in Alabama prisons in the 1970s as a Beta Test, and the contagious epidemic quickly spread to family members, prison guards and medical workers. Now, with federal and state Emergency Health Powers Acts activate under so-called Homeland Security, ALL Amerikans will be forcibly vaccinated or will be shot and killed if trying to escape military-controlled quarantine under Martial Law. Would the multinational pharmaceutical corporations even allow ANY doctor to cure iatrogenic vaccine-induced diseases, when that cure would inevitably lead to civil liability and criminal prosecutions, if not military warcrimes tribunals and death penalties for treason? Likewise, less than 10% of alcohol "Rehab/Detox" corporations do blood testing for hypoglycemia, which can take six hours to perform. Blood testing for 300 "food" allergies is also routinely ignored by greedy "Rehab/Detox" corporations extorting, er, billing "patients" $10,000 per week. All these "expensive" lab tests require expensive billing to greedy insurance corporations by greedy doctors demanding $600-per-hour paychecks. Thus, life-giving lab tests are banned by insurance giants intent on sucking the life out their gullible policy holders. |

Regardless of what Dr. Rodwell would prefer, you can safely bet your life that Peninsula Mental Hospital censors the patented cure for "Gulf War"/"AIDS" mycoplasma infections, in its profitable "treatments" for poison detoxication, alcoholism and addictions. Exactly like all other hospitals in America censors this identical low-cost CURE for ALL infections and ALL cancers. The multinational globalist-owned-and-operated infotainment cartel censors all its employee servant-slaves (professional liars and bullshit artists) from announcing this cure to the public. This is how the Death Camp system WORKS so well in Amerika today. NAZI officials didn't like the Germans rising up against their local Death Camp factories, either. Every doctor and news reporter who "goes along to get along" with this genocide is literally guilty of aiding and abeting this genocide, under US and Tennessee laws. These chickenshit morons would rather kill their own families than do the right thing and tell the truth. The punishment in Tennessee for murder and genocide is the Death Penalty. Murder and genocide is also a violation of the new U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, punishable by strippage of all rights to citizenship, secret arrest and deportation to an international "US" Gulag like Gitmo Naval base in Communist Cuba, and tortured to death without charges, without a lawyer (even without the right to pro se), without trial, and without appeal. Genocide is not painless, but it is VERY profitable. Just like the NAZI government officials collectiong mountains of gold fillings and silverware from their Jewish, gypsy, Ayran German hospital patients and POW crime victims. And thousands of German and Japanese politicians, soldiers, police and doctors were executed for genocidal warcrimes in Gulags run by US and Allied martial law after World War #2. Some historians report the total death penalties carried out by US and Allied warcrimes tribunals as numbering in the hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions. This silver-bullet cure of silverware has protected royal Blue Bloods throughout history (especially when genociding their own serfs with flea-injected bioweapons like Bubonic Plague and Smallpox). Silver saved countless American pioneers with uncommon sense. It's not just for killing werewolves in Hollywood anymore.
Note that any person can manufacture their own Tetrasilver Tetroxide antibiotic, by building their own electroplating kit with parts from your local Radio Shack. If Amerikan Death Camps actually cared about curing their gullible victims, their doctors of course would hand out Silver Generators with $5-worth of 99.9% pure silver electrodes to EVERY patient. The 'Shack also has cheap books on how to construct a 110-volt-AC to 30-volt-DC transformer for your Silver Generator, to save on battery expense and provide consistent strength of colloidal-silver antibiotic. Or just purchase a brand-new Silver Generator from hundreds of suppliers on the Internet. This particular Loony Bin, Peninsula Hospital, was "founded" (i.e., funded by looted taxes) by an individual who the Tennessee legislature named an Interstate highway for, Carl Koella, after he was convicted of fatal hit-and-run to avoid a DUI homicide charge (prompting a nationwide boycott of Blount County and Knoxville). Koella, as speaker of the Tennessee state senate, was alleged by his political opponents to be the drug kingpin in Blount County, and "personally knew where every crack house was located between Alcoa and Nashville".
So, a forced incarceration in the Loony Bin is allegedly not a "custodial arrest", but is a "witness" in "protective custody", "in lieu of arrest". As in the case of Major Charles Sells, DDS, US Army Reserves, such "protective custody" can become a life sentence on Death Row, without ever being charged with a crime, and while forcibly medicated with deadly mind-bending narcotics and hallucinogenics, the better to compel non-testimony against The Government for its murderous atrocities against Amerikan slaves, er, citizens (included below). Did you ever see Jack Nicholson fly over the Cookoos' nest? Electroshock and lobotomies may be included. |
Presumably, a "Motion for Habeus Corpus" must be filed to win release from illegal imprisonment in a "mental health hospital". Since the prisoner has already been determined to be allegedly "mentally incompetent", that prisoner is not allowed to file any court pleadings pro se, and must have an agent or lawyer write the motion, sign a name on behalf of the prisoner, and file it with the court clerk. The government has predetermined itself to be the legal guardian of the prisoner, so family members allegedly have no legal standing as a guardian, even if they already have a "DURABLE Power of Attorney" appointing them as Attorney-In-Fact in case of medical emergency (which everybody should have for each member of a family, friend or business partner).
According to Judge Andrei Lee, commitment to the Loony Bin is officially termed "pretrial diversion". For example:
This is the scenario faced by a wing commander of an Air National Guard Base in Tennessee. A wing commander is usually the highest ranking officer on any air force base, other than a headquarters base. The Police State trusts this person with not only flying a fuel tanker at 600mph in nose-to-tail commuter traffic, but trusts him with leading several squadrons into worldwide wars. Yet we cannot trust him minding his own business, driving below the speed limit on an Interstate highway? Such is the thanks our Gulf War veterans get for waging Oil Wars for trillionaires Georges Bush. When this writer phoned Loudon County Sheriff's Department and General Sessions Court Clerk, neither agency admitted to knowing anything about a "Mental Health Court" or "Mental Health Docket". They denied knowing anything about "Diversion" programs. They denied knowing anything about how the wing commander was committed to the Nut House, and denied there was a court order. According to the Sheriff's Department Records Section, the wing commander was still in the Nut House after three weeks, and still faced the arrest warrant for DUI after his release. The assistant for the sheriff did not answer her phone, to set up an appointment with the sheriff to discuss this case. Peninsula Hospital denied all knowledge of this person who was forcibly locked up in their Loony Bin. It was like he disappeared into a Soviet Commie Gulag. A peron grabbed off the street and disappeared incognitus. This case provides a typical example of medical conditions providing an illegal excuse for the police state to destroy Americans for victimless thought crimes, without any "crime" being committed (except by police, prosecutors and judges). This case also provides evidence of the lying perped by so-called news reporters, who choose to remain accessories after-the-fact to this conspiracy of fraud. One chuckles when chickenhawk neocon dittoheads turn into doperheads, like Rusty "Rush" Limbaugh on Hillbilly Heroin (star of Knoxville's censored "Rich Flemball Show"). So that's why they call him "Rush". Under federal and state laws, accessories-after-the-fact are routinely punished with identical sentencing as principals to the criminal conspiracy. The disgruntled maid perhaps narced on her former Jewish master to save herself from prosecution as a drug dealer, but Limbaugh is now prosecuted under U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act as a narcoterrorist, whose own lawyers committed him in to Rehab to avoid (or delay) prison. The media blitz pretends U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act is the first time cops searched medical records, when for years cops routinely rifled pharmacy records without court orders to dragnet sickly dopers. Perhaps his Jewish masters plot to cancel his $300-million contract (or did ESPN's black Nike customers simply hate Jewish slave mastas?)? Will Rich flee back to Israel to retire with his fellow Jewish gangstas? The wing commander is lucky he's not the poster child for alcoterrorism by DUI. But he isn't in an Arizona Rehab Resort, he's in the local psych ward. At least he's no (draft-dodging) Rusty "Rush" Limbaugh. And he's not a Columbian crack ho, like Noelle Bush, daughter of Governor Jeb "Martial Law" Bush, who, while in the Loony Bin for addiction to prescription drugs, was arrested again for smuggling crack cocaine into "Rehab". Since both Noelle and Rush are prosecuted by the Florida attorney general, perhaps some Democrats are disgruntled at Bushes stealing Selection 2000 from his royal cousin, "Prince" Albert Gore Jr? Gore's son Albert III was busted again for "marijuana" intoxication in December 2003. Perhaps to remind Gore II of his 2nd place? TIPS - Terrorists Inform for Police State How would you like to be driving along, minding your own business, driving under the speed limit on a crowded Interstate highway, when you get terrorized by a monster named, "Terrorism Information and Prevention System", an Orwellian subsidiary of "USA 'Freedom' Corps"? That's like smashing a fly with an atom bomb.
How would you like to be accused of being a "terrorist" by the Secret Police of Homeland Security? A "terrorist driving while drunk". Or a Christian? Or a pet owner? Or a "Constitutional" lawyer (every lawyer)? Or any driver who asks a traffic cop, "Why did you pull me over?" Doesn't sound like fun? What's wrong with you? Note that in the case of the wing commander, two months prior to his arrest for alleged DUI and lockup in the Loony Bin, he had been "informed" that he was already "under investigation" by criminal investigators for Tennessee Air National Guard, for at least two months, according to military sources. Big Brother's undercover informants were following him around off-duty and watching him very, very closely....
Unreasonable Suspicion Note that probable cause is perhaps lacking for this "arrest" (traffic stop), since the cop did not PERSONALLY eyewitness the initial "traffic crime", such as speeding or weaving. (Maybe aircraft pilots "weave" on the highway a little more than average, since they are spoiled by autopilot robots on aircraft?) Of course, in the UNSWORN police REPORT (which is NOT an arrest warrant), the deputy alleged that after he arrived in response to the telephone call from the informant, he observed "weaving", since he said he did not eyewitness "speeding". Most sheriffs' patrol cars don't have video cameras installed, so there is probably no videotape proof of "weaving". It is a mere unsubstantiated allegation that is totally unprovable. Besides, after driving 180 miles from Nashville to Knoxville, most drivers would start to weave a little, just from exhaustion. A recent case decided by the Tennessee Supreme Court ordered that probable cause does NOT exist for a traffic stop, based on an allegation of "weaving" from one side the lane to the other by touching the painted lines on the road. Hence the deputy's bizarre and perhaps unsubstantiated allegation of weaving 50 feet from the extreme right "breakdown lane" to the extreme left "breakdown lane", resulting in the traffic detention of the commander. "Probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion" are KEY points of debate during every successful defense of a traffic ticket or arrest.
Since "vehicle registration" ("license tags") and "driver licenses" are "voluntarily" contracted with states, not counties, only state police may stop vehicles to check on those contracts, without first eyewitnessing a "traffic 'crime'" (i.e., a civil allegation of breach of civil contract). Thus, unlike Tennssee State Troopers or Tennessee Highway Patrol, sheriffs' deputies must allege they observed a so-called "traffic crime" to generate reasonable suspicion to make an "investigtory stop" (literal arrest), before any arrest can be made based upon probable cause. Cops attempting to "reverse engineer" reasonable suspicion and probable cause joking call it "Testilying".

It appears the commander is authorized by the law to not only defend himself from the criminal charges (by alleging a lack of probable cause or reasonable suspicion) for the initial traffic stop (and thus strike all evidence gathered afterwards, under "fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine"), but he is also authorized to file criminal charges against the deputy for false arrest and false imprisonment (the judge can ignore the allegations at his "discretion"). While "Reasonable Suspicion" for the initial traffic stop has a low standard of proof (50.01% Burden of Proof), just like Probable Cause (50.01% Burden of Proof), they both require more than mere allegation from an unidentified "informant". A "county mounty" must still eyewitness a traffic crime. Is there a videotape from the patrol car proving no crime? Only state police may pull innocent drivers over ("arrests") at random, without eyewitnessing "traffic crimes", "to check their license and registration" contracts. "Pretextural arrests" (bogus traffic stops) are routinely perped by police, mainly in drug cases, based on sworn affidavits by salaried "informants" (career criminals with get-out-of-jail-free cards). Their names are usually blocked by prosecutors from discovery, to block the defendant from questioning the witnesses againt him, in violation of constitutional law. Fatherland, er, Homeland Security lawyers and cops are now attempting to apply this federal gangster-government tactic to DUI and other traffic stops under state law. Operation RED DAWN USA This military commander is terrorized by the same Police State he assumed he was "defending" in ENDURING Operations AFGHAN FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Ironically, the wing commander supported Operation RED DAWN, the $1.5-Trillion arrests of the person alleged to be President "Sodom" Hussein, along with his "Wolverines" (blasphemously named for the American Underground who saved Hollywood Amerika from Communist Russians and (real-world) Mexican illegal invasions, and based upon the real-world Commie Russian invasion of Afghanistan. On 7 January 2003, Resident George Bush Jr legalized US Congress' law to beg 100-million criminal aliens to invade USA). Like "Sodom", the wing commander was ratted out by a mysterious "informant". The US government's paycheck for "Sodom's" head was $30-Million (paid by the taxpayers' fraudulent debt to the counterfeiters at international Federal Reserve Corporation).
Homeland Security Hell Who is this disgruntled highway stalker who punched 911, with unsworn allegations of an alleged "driving crime" (without any videotape evidence), but who did not feel strongly enough about his concerns to make a citizen's arrest? Did police even write down this "witness'" name? Like in Sodom's arrest, was this mystery stalker also paid a cash commission for his unsworn "testimony" by the Homeland Security KGB's T.I.P.S. Program? Or, was it an undercover military stalker from Office of Special Investigations (OSI)?
Hmmm. Did the wing commander have a roadmap suspiciously visible in his car as he drove through Knoxville's Malfunction Junction? The news did report that "truckers" (illegally) blocked the crowded interstate highway until the sheriff's posse arrived (illegally causing a dangerous bottleneck to other traffic, a common bad habit of speed-balled/DUI truckers busting their logbooks by sleep deprivation). The Highway Watchers literally made a (bogus) "citizen's arrest" of the jet commander for suspiciously driving under the speed limit. This was on a stretch of highway where the legal and safest 85th Percentile Speed can exceed 100mph, as conscientious objection to current lack of speed-limit-free American Autobahn. Battle of the Illiterate Truck Drivers Nowhere in Tennessee Code is there an exception to the mandatory law for "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT", as posted on that very same section of that Interstate. Why stop instantly when you did nothing wrong, and you presume the cop is doing smething that has nothing to do with you? When a cop drives down the Interstate with emergency lights flashing, no one pulls off the road and stops until the cop has passed them. To even slow down would cause a hazard for other high-speed drivers. According to the arrest warrant and police report ("notes"), the commander pulled over within 45 seconds (1 mile at 70mph speed limit), which is reasonable under the circumstances.
Infectious Driving While Dry Drunk A so-called "alcohol" test, either by testing breath or blood, alleged a score of 0.38%. The arrest warrant did not indicate where the test was administered. If the commander was obviously too sick to risk dying in jail, presumably he was taken straight to hospital and only given a "BLOOD-alcohol" test (BAT). However, it is not likey that deputies would risk losing their profitable prosecution by bypassing the jail, since a hospital blood-test for a sick person is protected from police discovery without a search warrant. However, police may have tricked the commander by forcing him under duress to "volunteer" for a "blood sugar test" (which might "coincidentally" include a blood-alcohol measurement), rather than a "BREATH-alcohol" test (BAC) at Loudon County jail. If the commander was as sickly and "intoxicated" as alleged by deputies and their sheriff, it was impossible for him to "intelligently and knowingly consent" to any such testing. Never mind that so-called "alcohol" tests cannot test for alcohol. I first discovered this most-censored fact when I investigated a wrongful-death torture killing by Roane County, Tennessee sheriff's deputies. In that case, a woman illegally held in solitary confinement for six months without trial nor conviction (who was probably innocent of the original charges due to physical medical condition of diabetes) was murdered by police via denial of all food, water and medical care during a "diabetic coma" (diabetic ketoacidosis). During autopsy, the so-called "blood-alcohol" test score was 0.40%, despite ZERO ingestion of alcohol beverages. This test also proved coma/death does indeed occur at that level. Despite a score of 0.40% BAT, tested by the best laboratory available to hospitals and state police in Tennessee, even the medical examiner dared not allege ingestation of alcohol beverage, and confessed by default that state police possess no lab machines capable of testing for alcohol. My pro bono investigation for my family's law firm, Lee, Lee and Lee, helped result in a $10-Million wrongful-death lawsuit against police. In the wing commander's case, three possibilities exist:
Sheriffs deputies alleged observing symptoms of "diabetic coma" ("diabetic ketoacidosis" - walking, talking and driving without memory or coordination, a/k/a so-called "Dry Drunk" syndrome). A blood-sugar test alleged the defendant was not diabetic. Obviously, his own military flight surgeon and the FAA would have grounded him decades ago for diabetes.
There are many "causes" of so-called "Dry-Drunk Syndrome", metabolic acidosis, metabolic coma, and death, such as "alcoholism", "diabetes" syndrome (with either high and/or low blood sugar), infection, drugs and poisonous pollution. Basically, symptoms of disease begin whenever a person's body deviates from a normal pH level. Symptoms of alleged "intoxication" occur at significant deviation from normal pH. Death occurs when pH deviates too far either way. Police officers and judges are NEVER qualified to make ANY decision on a person's medical condition (and based upon the current epidemics of chrnic diseases, apparently most medical doctors are also lacking in such competence). When a person is suffering from symptoms of hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar", a/k/a "dry drunk syndrome" WITHOUT drinking alcohol beverages), that sick person will probably not know what is going on, just like most doctors. If the disease worsens without finding a cure, that person can go into a walking, talking "comatose" state. Symptoms can worsen to the point of total unconsciouness and death. Massive infection can cause hypoglycemia, "'non-diabetic' coma" ("hypoglycaemic coma", versus "diabetic coma", "hyperglycemia" and "diabetic ketoacidosis") and death. Iatrogenic (doctor-caused) infection from contagious Gulf War "vaccines" can cause hypoglycemia, "diabetic" coma and death. Police officers who are hired for their low-IQ test scores are no more likely to know how to cure infectious "drunk driving" than greedy medical doctors working in government-controlled Death Camps, er, "hospitals" who INVENTED, INJECTED and CAUSED the attempted murders, er, "drunk driving" infections. Note that in "diabetic" hyperosmolar nonketotic coma and "hypoglycaemic coma" (LOW blood sugar), ketoacidosis does NOT occur. Thus, a lab test for "'diabetic' ketoacidosis" would NOT be accurate for proof of "diabetic" coma, and would thus provide another "false-positive" for alleged DUI.
Emergency room doctors routinely injure and kill patients due to medical malpractice, such as refusing to run Catscans on people with severe head injuries. Most people don't even know when they have diabetes syndrome, so they cannot warn doctors or police. Note that police routinely murder hundreds of hospital patients via torture and denial of medical treatment for people with "diabetic" syndrome who are under arrest. Police are not medical doctors. (Most police are not hired unless they first FAIL an IQ test - and for "organized-crime intelligence" detectives, they must pass a lie detector test WHILE LYING. "Testilying" is routine for police in court, and is why every driver should always use a portable $20 "lie detector" (audio tape recorder) at all times when talking ("confessing") to police.) To employ doctors in prisons and jails would reduce the profiability of the prison-industrial complex. Doctors who report medical torture of prisoners are hunted down, tortured and jailed for "contempt of cops". Lawyers who fight such tortures in court are disbarred and jailed. As "top dog" on base, why would you drink and drive, risking your career, when you own your "own" Officers Club bar and grill next to your house on base (usually wing commanders must live on base for security purposes), you own your own police force, and you have your own chauffeurs with a fleet of cars for your personal use? Wing commanders have been known to outfit their own base billeting brothel ("motel") with stocked bars, hot tubs, and wall-to-wall whores (tax-free salaries paid by the taxpayers, just like Loudon County state troopers and Blount County police chiefs were busted by their spouses for perping in 2003). "Work hard, play hard", is the Air Force pilots' motto. The safest place to play is on base, where you are a "god". At the very least, you own your own bar inside your own home, with 100% immunity from prosecution for DUI. After commanding forces in Afganistan and Iraqi wars, why risk promotion to general and courts-martial? Why risk your future civilian job as an airline pilot, worth over $1-million? Even if you ARE an "alcoholic", would you actually choose DRIVING as the time to drink, or would you just drink at home and anoy your family? When you are in love with your job - and are willing to kill for your job - why get drunk and drive? As one Pentagon insider explained:

Flying Blind with the Federal Aviation Administration
(49 USCA �� 44701-44711; 14 CFR � 61.3)
Battledamaged Alibi Is there an alibi and legal defense applicable for this DUI case? Is The Government guilty of attempted murder? After Gulf War #1, 35,000 US veterans and their families died, and over 400,000 were disabled, from made-in-USA nerve gas sold to Iraq, radioactive uranium bullets and tanks, and from iatrogenic infections from mandatory vaccinations (vaccine waivers are only allowed on a soldier's first day of active duty, which is fraud). "Predeployment processing" with mandatory vaccinations with unidentified drugs applies even to soldiers who never deployed to Gulf Wars. If any part of their unit deployed to the Middle East, then everyone in that unit was required to the the bioweaponized vaccinations with contagious live "attenuated" gene-spliced man-made bugs. It mattered not if you actually flew to Iraq, Turkey, Saudi, Kuwait, or Communist Uzbekestan "Russia". You got the shots, with NO documentation on your Shot Record of EXACTLY what was assaulted into your body. 100% of ALL shot records from Gulf War #1 were "LOST" by the Pentagon, for over 500,000 people, according to Congress' General Accounting Office (GAO), and the US Senate's Reigel Report.
Note that the TPJI requires as an ESSENTIAL Element, that just because a person is medically sick, no matter what is bogus "alcohol" test score alleges or what police eyewitnesses allege, when no alcohol or drug was taken, THAT PERSON IS NOT GUILTY OF DUI. Essential Elements have a 100% "Burden of Proof of LAW". When the "prosecution"/plaintiff skips one step on the checklist, the defendant WINS (IF he points it out with Motion to Dismiss AFTER prosecution closes its evidentiary proof and its Case in Chief). Compare this BOP with Preponderance of Evidence (50.01%) in civil trials, and Beyond Reasonable Doubt (95%) in "criminal" trials. Winning "technically" this way is "cheating", according to the lying Commie brainwashers of Hollywood and multinational "news" media cartel - who themselves employ armies of trial lawyers to use "technicalities" to defend themselves from criminal antitrust, fraud, insider trading and racketeering cases every day. Note that in many states, the "per se" "legal limit" of 0.08% (formerly 0.10%) "blood-alcohol" level IS AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE "CRIME" THAT IS ADDITIONAL TO THE DUI "CRIME" (actually, both are alleged breach of the CIVIL driver license contract, and maybe should be battled under CIVIL Rules of Procedure (TRCP) using an Answer to Complaint). Tennessee formerly used this pro-double-jeopardy rule of charging two crimes in one when over the per se legal limit, but that law was recently changed, but only applying to the criminal charge of DUI/DWI/OWI etc. So the wing commander will be charged with one crime, and also sued civily in administrative court for suspension of his driver license for allegedly testing about 0.08% BAT, both of which presume "guilt" (of the civil contract breach). All such "evidence" and "presumptions" can be rebutted in courts (and had damn well better be). Was this soldier suffering acidosis as result of massive infection from forced vaccination? (Are these "vaccinations" sabotaged to drive out or kill 90% of Gulf War One vets, to sabotage the US military and prepare USA for a hostile takeover?) If so, what is the chance of getting competent medical treatment for a deadly contagious TB-type mycoplasma infection (which is patented as a bioweapon by Pentagon contractors), while under arrest in The Looney Bin (so-called "Rehab" for alleged drug and alcohol "addiction", that have a higher suicide rate than untreated "addicts")? Especially when this bioweaponized "AIDS" infection was perfected by the Pentagon via intentional infections of prison inmates, guards and civilians in Alabama in the 1970s? Mycoplasma also provides the tortuous symptoms that cause death from Pentagon's and CDC's patented HIV/AIDS bioweapon, manufactured under contract as "Cancer Research", and administered to the gullible public via "experimental Herpes vaccinations" in New York City and Africa (by World Health Organization and United Nations Corporation). Death by "diabetic coma" in homosexuals and others with AIDS is induced by acidosis and organ failure from systemic mycoplasma infection. Doctors of Death And why do all prisons and jails in USA require all prisoners get mandatory injection of LIVE mycoplasma tuberculosis (a so-called TB "vaccine")? And why did White House resident George Bush Jr (and gang) legalize amnesty for 50-million criminal alien invaders, millions who have TB and other fatal diseases? Mycoplasmas are nothing to mess around with. The "Gulf War" mycoplasma bioweapon was "perfected" by injecting it into prisoners in the USA, long before the Gulf Wars. The contagious GW mycoplasma quickly spread to families of prisoners, to prison guards and their families, and to medical workers and their families, and throughout the communities. "Silent weapons for quiet wars", is what the pacified Pentagon calls its new toys. My mother-in-law died of AIDS, for which mycoplasma bacterial infection composes the killer symptoms. She apparently contracted during heart-bypass surgery's mandatory blood transfusions (mainlined cannibalism banned by Leviticus 3:17, Holy Scriptural Law, as reported by George Gordon School of Common Law), thanks to infected blood transfusions sold by professional vampires at American Red Cross Corporation (guilty of looting billions of dollars from victims of the terrorist massacres on 9-11-2001), that had full knowledge of its sabotaged blood supply (felony of first-degree murder and genocide). She was a nurse who died because she trusted doctors. "Believing your own bullshit" is what salespeople warn themselves from getting "their own heads knocked off" (as car salesmen call getting "high-grossed" on a deal). Good advice for everyone.
Obviously, only a fool would trust a blood-thirsty government or corporate employees with a needle. Attempted assaults and attempted murders via hypodermic needle may, of course, be lawfully repelled under doctrines for "self-defense" and "justifiable homicide". Any co-conspirators of the serial killers witnessed brandishing a gun may be shot on sight and summarily executed without warning. Genocide can never be legally authorized. This is why hospital security guards (including off-duty government police officers moonlighting as private security), and now doctors, are armed with guns to murder their own patients who object to deadly "treatment" protocols. The US Supreme Court recognizes "self defense" as the only universal legal "waiver" to "mandatory 'vaccination'" programs. The new Death Camps are your local neighborhood hospital corporations, where the insane executioners rarely have a clue of their genocidal crimes, and managers routinely conspire to cover-up serial killings and mass murders. An uncle of mine had diabetes, and he was observed "weaving" on the highway in his small town, and friends of the family would have to go rescue him from driving in a "diabetic coma". He never drank alcohol, and diabetes finally killed him. He always looked normal to me, and I never knew he had diabetes until after his death. I also had a 30-year-old friend, Mike "Griff" Griffin, who died of "diabetic" ketoacidosis from mycoplasma "AIDS" infection. He would space out at work and go into a walking/talking diabetic "coma", taking swings at his coworkers, who were smart enough to recognize the symptoms, grab him and force him to drink some sugar soda. He died in his apartment after collapsing from diabetic coma, when no one could rescue him. It was a shock to me, since I never knew he had diabetes. He looked healthy and normal to me. He knew if he told, it would cost him his job selling cars, since it would "queer" his coverage under an employer's driving insurance. HIV/AIDS was first injected into the blood supply by our psycho government, by recruiting "promiscuous homosexuals"with advertisements for "medical trials" of a new "Hepatitis vaccine" in New York City. DUI laws do NOT apply to people with diabetes, nor to 1,000s of other chronic diseases, many of them created in labs by mad doctors employed to do so by our gangster governments. If governments really want to make people safer from medical conditions on the highways, then it can stop paying mad doctors to kill us, and start allowing sane doctors to cure us. Et Up Brute? Was the commander just another "ate-up" military asshole who overdosed on what he dished out to subordinates for twenty years? Is his arrest Karma for profiting from a criminal war by the New World Odor and United Nations Corporation, that taxed a new debt on Americans of $1.5-Trillion, and raised gasoline prices (after murdering 1.5-million people who only wanted to sell us the gas at a low price)?
Note that "ignorance of the law is ALWAYS an excuse" in criminal cases (especially for judges), due the Constitutional "Void for Vagueness" doctrine, since there are literally 40-million laws to read, comprehend and abide, at last "count". Walk in any university law library - those are all the laws you MUST read and obey. Doh! Mission Impossible. So to better defraud the public, prosecutors always must prove mens rea ("guilty thoughts"), that the defendant "willfully" perped the crime, NOT that he "broke the law". "Willfully" simply means the old Common Law ("common sense") concept, that ONLY if you HURT someone else have you perped a "crime" (something you obviously know, presuming you aren't a sociopath with no conscience, but that's not a legal excuse in court). With that concept of "right" and "wrong", you don't need to read the law (most folks couldn't read back then - or it was a CRIME to read, a CRIME to own a book, or a CRIME to own a Christian Bible written in English). DUI "law" attempts to subvert this common sense concept, and fraudulently enters the realm of civil contract law, where drivers are SECRETLY sued civilly for breach of driver-license contract. Or, was he one of the last remaining US soldiers who wanted to defend America (such as defending USA from invasion by 30-million criminal invaders, who were granted US citizenship that same week (just like the convicted Arab patsy bomber for FBI's confessed first murders at World Trade Center in 1993), by five-time-convicted felon and wartime draft deserter Resident George "Texascutioner" Bush Jr (who never attended Officer Training School (OTS) nor college ROTC, then was stripped of his "pilot's" medical certificate), perping treason under his illegal employment contract with the international New World Odor?)? Did he resist an illegal order to expand the martial law takeover of Amerika, as publicly predicted in November 2003 by General Tommy Franks, commander of US forces in Iraq for Desert Storm #2? Homeland Security on Crack Or, did he discover a billion-dollar pallet of heroin on one of his tankers flying back from Afganistan, upsetting the US CIA's and White House's narcoterror import-export business? McGhee Tyson International Airport, location of this TANG airbase, reportedly produced $1-billion a year in cocaine profits, according to FBI press releases and public court documents. The TANG base is adjacent to a Federal Express terminal with high security. FedEx is owned by Freddie Smith, an alumnus of Yale University's Skull and Bones Senior Secret Society, along with fellow alums Georges Bush and Knoxville's former mayor Victor Ashe, attorney-at-law (previously fired and disbarred from Tennessee Senate by Tennessee Supreme Court, for perjury and election fraud). FedEx won the US Postal Service contracts for Commie China and Afganistan (with opium crop production up by 1,000% after Bushes' 10-year war), formerly held by CIA's Iran-Iraq-Contra airline Evergreen Aviation (which replaced CIA's heroinized Air America, made infamous by Hollywood's Mel Gibson and bad-boy civil parole violator Robert Downy Jr).
Did this commander find himself in a compromising dillemma? Did he refuse an illegal order to cooperate in a civilian police Joint Task Force on Drugs? Was there no "lawful" way to "frag" this commander, so a situation using other members of the Joint Task Force on Drugs had to be fabricated? This commander presumably had absolute authority over use of US Army helicopters based at his airbase for "drug interdiction" flights over local civilian areas, raiding All-American farmers of recreational plants, to increase the monopolistic market share of the narcoterror division of the New World Ordor Inc, while billing the US taxpayers for military debt (current US government debt is at $75-Trillion, plus interest, enslaving all Americans to the NWO banksters, unless...). Or, did he get in the way of the "drug-hunting" commander of the US Army National Guard at McGhee Tyson airbase, flying where ALCOA Corporation has a 25,000-acre Tapaco Wildlife Refuge, with convenient secluded Top-Secret aerodrome? Was the commander set up to take a fall by other government police agencies? Was he poisoned, followed, and prosecuted to protect the local wholesalers and retailers in an international drug cartel? Just like Knoxville Police Chief Phil Keith was staked out, followed and arrested for drunk driving the second his front tire entered the street from his favorite restaurant and bar, with his own disgruntled cops putting him in his place?
PODUIW-MIA "DUI" is the easiest of all crimes to win conviction, and the hardest and most expensive to defend against in court. Although a victimless crime (technically, the cop is the "victim" complainant/witness), DUI is even harder to defend than a murder case, since there is usually no cop to testify as an "eyewitness" to the alleged "crime". The only "evidence" required for conviction is a mere subjective opinion and unsubstantiated allegation by an uneducated, greedy, corrupt cop working under an illegal quota, and fraudulent court industry based upon racketeering and organized crime. And crooked cops don't even have to plant any evidence to win a conviction. It's the best tool for controlling or destroying careers of government slaves who get uppity with their masters. The NeoGulag System of Amerika is kept at bursting capacity via false arrests for DUI, "illegal" drugs and fraudulent traffic stops (while 50-Million REAL criminals are set free to terrorize and destroy Amerika). Amerika imprisons more of its slaves, er, citizens than any other nation on Earth, including the Communist nations of China and Russia (which is still run by Jewish Commie gangstas). DUI arrests are tailor-made for "lifetime" civil commitments for the slightest allegation of "insanity". No trial or conviction required. Hitler, Stalin and Mossad would be proud. Such "civil" kidnappings are daily occurances in Amerika today, when you count such crimes as Child Protective Services kidnapping children for the slave trade (worth up to $200,000 each) and sex trade (up to $50,000 each) and snuff kiddie porn trade (at Bohemian Grove presidential retreat). My own grandmother's brother was tortured and murdered by Catholic nuns at an orphanage, and my grandmother as forced to escape from imprisonment in Amerika in order to survive. Government kidnaps and murders thousands of children in Amerika, judging by criminal court cases pending in Governor Jeb Bush's police state of Florida. American adults are not free from such persecutions. Bushwacked It is alleged in lawsuits filed in US federal courts that "President" George Bush Jr. and his gang massacred over 3,000 people in USA on September 11, 2001, to falsely point the blame at Muslim terrorists from the oil-rich Middle East, to "justify" invasion of those soverign nations. Just like the Pentagon Joint Chiefs and US Secretary of Defense plotted to perp in 1963 with Operation NORTHWOODS, to falsely blame Communist Cuba. NORTHWOODS included hijacking US airliners by remote control and blowing them up in midair, after substituting the original airliners with robot drone CIA aircraft repainted to appear like the airliners. The real airliners were to be safely landed at remote military airports, including Eglin AFB in Florida which has TEN separate airports (one of which is currently used as a CONCENTRATION DEATH CAMP for "suspected terrorists" without criminal charges, without bail, without lawyers, without trial, without appeal). After 9-11-2001, it was reported in mainline media that the alleged Arab "terrorists" were alive and well AFTER 9-1-2001, and that they were educated in language and flight training at the US Defense Language Institute in Monteray, California, the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida, and at a CIA drug-running airport in Boca Raton, Florida. It was also officially reported that at least one of the crashed airliners actually landed safely at a civilian airport, and was parked in a "special remote hanger", away from prying eyes. The Boeing 757/767 "airliner" that allegedly crashed into the Pentagon was declared by eyewitnesses on CNN TV News to actually be a single-engine Cruise Missile, probably a robotic Global Hawk, which is the same size as a Boeing 737 airliner (two of the Pentagon's brand-new Global Hawks are officially "missing" in action after "crashing"). It has been reported by an eyewitness employee of FOX TV, on FOX TV News, that the Boeing 757/767 "airliners" that crashed into the World Trade Center were NOT "passenger airliners" because they had no windows, and were NOT painted in colors of American Airlines nor United Airlines ("911 In Plane Site" video/DVD). None of the video broadcasts from 9-11-2001 show windows in the "airliners" that hit the WTC. Boeing's 757/767 is reportedly the only aircraft with built-in capability for remote-control flight, as an "anti-hijacking" countermeasure, which airline pilots are on record as warning this technology can also be used to hijack airliners by remote control. What does the Wing Command know about Boeing 757 tanker-refueling aircraft being substituted for airliners on 9-11-2001? That's not the sort of insider info the elite serial killers in the White House can afford to reach public scrutiny - nor courtroom prosecution....
As a result of a DUI arrest, the wing commander risked a life sentence on Death Row, in one of the governments' thousands of "mental health" prisons. Anyone who asks questions about their legal rights in court risks being officially labeled "insane" by a judge, and will remain caged and tortured under "judicial discretion". US Army Reservist, Major Charles Sell, DDS, discovered for himself what can happen to government-owned whistleblowers who try to testify to the felonies perped by Jewish president Bill "Clinton" Blythe IV, and current Jewish presidential candidate Sir General Wesley Clark Knight of the British Empire), and by the Waco City Councilman/FBI director William Sessions attorney-at-law (hired by Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire). Jewish trial lawyer and US prosecutor Louis Freeh was promoted by Clinton to FBI director to self-investigate the Waco "Masada" atrocity (Jewish Talmudic law requires the genocide of all Christians). Major Sell testified in court as an eyewitness to the Pentagon/NATO military massacre of 80 innocent Christians, murdered by international "Task Force" of military and police troops at their church in Massada, er, Waco, Texas (a short tank's drive from the underground bunker and Fort Hood US Army tunnel complex (America's largest Army base) of George "Texascutioner" Bush Jr, the inbred 3rd cousin to the German Queen Elizabeth of England). Dr. Sell's government job was to perform post-mortems on victims of the Waco massacre, and to testify in court on his forensic findings of dental work. Bullet entry holes in the foreheads of victims as they fled the burning church must have been quite obvious during autopsy. His testimony did not comply with the predetermined outcome desired by his masters. Dr. Sell also had photographs of FBI et alia setting the fires at Waco (after ordering the fire department to leave).
Years later, back in civilian practice in St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Sell was "coincidentally" arrested for alleged Medicare/Medicaid insurance fraud. When he refused to plead guilty to false charges, and included in his defense his own allegations of illegal retailation as motice for the false arrest, he was diagnosed with "delusional disorder, persecutory type". Prosecutors and judges then dropped their criminal prosecution, and apparently used a "civil committment" to illegally imprison Dr. Sells to the Loony Bin. Dr. Sells now suffers daily tortures and attempted murders as "treatment" for "delusional disorder, persecutory type". He has been kidnapped and held incommunicado since his non-arrest in 1997, without bail. Under civil law, Dr. Sells has no right to an attorney. He is forcibly drugged with deadly narcotics against his will, and locked in solitary confinement 24/7.
This is the exact legal situation our Wing Commander finds himself in. Is this the future of DUI law enforcement, today? Prosecutors and judges playing doctor in order to bypass the Constitution and courts? The American Psychiatric Association, those nice folks who invented lobotomies and electroshock "therapies", supported The Government in replacing medical doctors and constitutions. Kelly O'Meara, with INSIGHT magazine, warned America of this extreme danger in, "Federal Court OKs Forced Drugging," April Fools' Day, 2002:
Michael Arnold Glueck, M.D., and Robert J. Cihak, M.D., former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, warn America in NEWSMAX.COM, "American Conscience: The Saga of Dr. Charles Sell," March 26, 2003:
Phyllis Schlafly, attorney-at-law, member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, 1985-1991 (appointed by President Reagan), alleged by Ladies' Home Journal to be "one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century", wrote an amicus brief to the US Supreme Court in this case, and writes in her Eagle Forum, "Forced Drugging By Government", March 27, 2002:
NorthstarZone: The Zone of Truth, posted an update, "THE CASE OF OF DR. CHARLES T. SELL":
Compare the persecutions of Dr. Sells, versus the rewards of a Tennessee medical doctor, Bill Frist MD. Frist owns one of the world's largest cartels, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), which was criminally convicted of the world's largest Medicare/Medicaid fraud. Dr. Frist's HCA paid world-record criminal and civil penalties of $840-MILLION dollars (which was still probably a net profit on the scam). Many of Frist's employees were sent to prison. Frist was punished by a massive pay cut via election to United States Senate. Six years later, freshman senator Frist was punished again by promotion to Speaker of the United States Senate, after the publicly absurd "firing" of Senator Trent Lott, for allegedly burning someone's ears (which is not yet a thought crime in most states).
An example of Life Sentence on Death Row by "civil commitment" is the Death Penalty ordered against murder-victim Terri Shindler-Shiavo, in Florida in 2003. Terri was rushed to the hospital with many broken bones (perped by her abusive husband), and incompetent doctors and judges awarded the attempted murderer over $1-Million in cash, and a death warrant for his battered wife. Thanks to criminal judges, off-duty police, and inhospitable Death Camps, for years she was denied all medical treatment and was locked in solitary confinement strapped to a bed in the dark. Instead of allowing her to drink and eat, she was assaulted, sliced open with a butcher knife, stabbed with tubes and needles, and injected with malnourishment.
Note the extreme volume of the "Twilight Zone" theme song playing in our delusional heads, for those of us who still pretend to live in a utopian Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Amerika is apparently entering its own purge of the middle classes, via fraudulent "civil commitments" for symptoms mental illness (while refusing to treat the causative diseases of infection and malnutrition), and "civil traffic citation" scams via 100-Million annual fraudulent civil court cases for frivolous civil traffic litigations. Who will disappear in Amerika today?
Phoenix Vulture Haunts Amerika Has Vietnam's genocidal Phoenix Project returned home to roost, like the bizarre car crash of Colonel Philip Shue, a mind-control doctor at Wilford Hall for "Terminal" Medical Experiments at Lackland Air Force Base (also famous for brainwashing all USAF recruits in Basic Training)? Colonel Shue "suicided" himself by duct-taping his hands and feet, then cutting off his nipples, then driving his car into a tree with his head hanging out the window so the airbag wouldn't get in the way. Who wants a pesky lucrative career after military retirement? That was news on April 16, 2003, in San Antonio, Texas. This DUI case bears more than a few similarities... What secrets do colonels dream that their masters lose sleep?
Hollywood's psycho version of Apocalypse was more than a tad off the mark. General Corman (creepy G.D. Spradlin) and Colonel Lucas (Harrison Ford) illegally ordered Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) to assassinate Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando). In the Real World, the Pentagon didn't send a lone gunman to kill a lone-nut colonel, who was leading a rag-tag mob of local natives. In the Real World, the Pentagon/CIA/UN/KGB sent 1,000 American-led soldiers to slaughter a US colonel and 400 of his US and South Vietnamese soldiers, who had refused illegal orders to assassinate US POWs captured by the enemy while running drugs (Project PHOENIX). This Real World colonel survived not only the Vietnam Wars, but also is surviving today. He's quite vocal on radio, promoting his autobiography (Expendable Elite � One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare, by LTC Daniel Marvin). At least a couple of US POWs escaped the Vietcong and the Pentagon, but one POW was court-martialed when he escaped back to USA after the Wars. He's quite vocal, as well (Robert Garwood, in Spite House: The Last Secret of the War in Vietnam). Another Knoxville-based POW-MIA who escaped after the Vietnam Wars was forced to murder the US troops holding him hostage in the enemy POW camp. He now runs drugs for the CIA in and out of South America, according to a local law enforcement source. So it's not beyond the Rider of the Pale Horse to suspect this strange DUI may be more than a RamboVet seeking First-Blood Deliverance from Red-Necked Mafia and their lap-dog Local Yokels. Government FUBAR What about the missing trillions of Pentagon's bottomless Budget of Evil? Somebody is cooking the books, and/or bookkeepers. Individual commanders must be in the loop for such looting, under illegal orders of their crooked commanders, in turn following their illegal orders, and so on up the chains of command. Commanders who don't play ball are also removed, one way or another. It can be a short step to leg irons for those who resist senior criminals and their conspiracies, as history teaches little schoolchildren (who "grow up" with amnesia).
In the wordsmithing Hollywood movie, Catch-22 (1970), and in his banned book, Joseph Heller called it, "The Syndicate". Catch-22's "fictitious" scenario partnered crooked US commanders with NAZI commanders during World War 2, just like the real-world Operation PAPERCLIP. They ran brothels with the Sicilian Mafia in the sex slave trade, just like DynCorp does today with the Pentagon and United Nations Corporation in the Bosnian War and around the planet. Or Base Billeting bordellos and Sex Slaves on US Air Force bases today. The US commanders hired the NAZIs to bomb US military bases, just like Pentagon's real-world Operation NORTHWOODS in 1962. The Syndicate was managed by creepy Major Milo Minderbinder (Jon Voight, who played the evil NSA gangster, with movie birth of September 11, in Enemy of the State, with SFX by Knoxville's Controlled Demolitions Inc, along with Knoxville's $40-Billion/year Mafia-convicted "syndicate" of BFI, were paid $7-Billion gov't contract to explode the $1-Billion World Trade Center "after" 9-11-2001). Any US slave, er, draftee, er, officer who tried to derail The Syndicate was targeted for termination by serial-killing senior commanders. For some reason, The Syndicate portion of the script is always "forgotten" by those who say "Catch-22" today. I wonder why? Did the 134th Wing commander know anything about the pacification of the Pentagon on 9-11-2001, when it was hit by a cruising missle? What did he know about the Pentagon/NATO's shoot down of United Airlines Flight 93 over Pennsylvania on 9-11-2001, and military tanker support aircraft required to perp that warcrime? The commander's boss, so-called president of the United States, George "Texascutioner" Bush Jr and Gang, are sued for billions of dollars by the victims' families, for the Bush Gang perping the genocidal terror massacres on September 11, 2001. Thanks to the Weapons of Mass Distraction (a/k/a the so-called "News" media corporations), important litigation essential for survival of the human race is censored every day, while trivial police pursuits are blown out of proportion (i.e., Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, et al.).
What did he know about the newly poisoned JP8 jet fuel and CIA "tanker" jumbo jets based at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tuscon Arizona (site of the famous tribute to Fraud, Waste & Abuse of taxpayer funds buried at the Aircraft Boneyard), that's helping genocide all Amerikans with Chemtrails? Inquiring prosecutors want to know. Pentagon's DIY renovation is named "Project Phoenix" (Luciferian Freemasonic cornerstone ceremony on September 11 during World War #2), and World Trade Center was explosively demolished and spirited away to Commie China, thanks to the $7-Billion contract paid to East Tennessee's $40-Billion worldwide cartel for scrap metal, garbage and Controlled Demolitions.
"Building consensus" is the Communist way for the elite to herd the sheeple to a single preselected "decision" and alleging that's a "democratic republic". Jewish Self-professed "Anarchist", Jewish professor Noam Chomsky, named it "Manufacturing Consent" by the elite multinational media cartel (as he publicly promotes the official anarchy ordered by Republican and Democratic politicians who vote for wide-open US borders for 100-million criminal aliens invaders, and export of tens of millions of US jobs, farms and factories). "Nondisclosure" is a salesman's technique of lying to an ignorant customer to prevent intelligent decisions. The NAZI police used nondisclosure to lure millions of unsuspecting citizens to "volunteer" for their doom in Death Camps, without resisting arrest, under their legal rights to lawful self defense and justifiable homicide. The Russian and Chinese Communists used nondisclosure to genocide 20 citizens for every one murdered by the NAZIs. Amerika has been under Communist attack for over 100 years, from within and without, up to the present day, including both military confrontations and high technologies. Chemtrails are confessed as one more bullet in the globalists' arsenal of murder. Unless government insiders blow the whistle, official secrets will continue to genocide Amerikans. Since government insiders are a gangster government's worst enemy, it's common for gangster government to defend itself with prememptive First Strikes against its own employees before they ever dream of cying "WOLF!" Is this what happened to the wing commander?
Rounding Up Good Old Boys This DUI arrest occurred in Loudon County where local sheriff's deputies allege, "No one could afford to live in Tellico Village Resort unless they got rich from something illegal." Tellico Village is where provocative BATF Agent-in-Charge Gene Rightmeyer lives on Inata Circle on the golf course, who led the annual "Good Ol' Boys Roundup" (a/k/a "Good Old Boys Roundup") for FBI, ATF, IRS, SS, COPS and KKK, where killing minority cops ("Nigger Check Point" and "Coon Hunting Licenses"), raping lady cops, and BBQing Christian churches is a family picnic. Loudon, Blount and Knox Counties are where the Tennessee legislature named a highway for a convicted hit-and-run DUI killer and narco kingpin, named Senator Carl Koella.
Propaganda Matrix, Disinfo Babes and Weapons of Mass Distraction The fact that so-called "blood-alcohol" tests cannot test for alcohol, is the most obvious missing link in these "news" allegations (as reported by Lawrence Taylor, author of the superior law books on DUI (news article on bogus test results included below), and known by all competent lawyers billing at least $10,000 for DUI defense, plus appeals and taxes). Since 99% of Amerikans do not have instant access to $10,000, and because the so-called "news" media lies about everything that is required for survival, including basic facts of law and government corruption, 99% of Amerikans have no chance of surviving a false DUI arrest. One definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. With the current corrupt system, medical doctors and nutritionists never competently diagnose and cure so-called "alcoholics" of their underlying medical diseases. Therefore, the police state employing paramilitary assassins wages its mad "Drunk" Driver War on Amerika. So-called "drunk driver" arrests include 90% sober drivers, passengers and pedestrians. Any alleged alcoholics who do get kidnapped and "treated" by medical malpractice by so-called Rehab/Detox corporations are "cured" with a higher relapse rate and higher risk of suicide, than alcoholics who never get such "treatment" by insane head shrinkers. Why do these basic facts never get reported? What criminals would want to sabotage America with such murderous hatred? Looking at the multinational anti-American ownership of the "news" media explains much. Jew Michael Eisner, owner of Disney and ABC News, pays himself a salary of $100-Million a year, while employing 20,000 Communist Chinese slaves paid 5-Cents an hour. Lowly news reporters are censored by their editors, and editors are fired when they get out of line (or if they work at New York Times, they play Clark Kent and leap off the tall building). Reporters can no more report the news than an Army private can tell a five-star general what to do (but there are exceptions for the creatively minded). Smart journalists in Knoxville carry Uzis to ward off the hit men sent to kill them from Loudon County. That particular journalist reported the 911 audiotape transcript of a frantic phone call by a state lobbyist staying at the houseboat of a Loudon County politician. The lobbyist complained about burglers. Police arrived but claimed to find nothing, and searched the lobbyist's Loudon County home, and said they found nothing. The next day, the lobbyist turned up dead in his yard, soaking wet. The inference from the journalist was, the cops obviously found him dead at the mayor's houseboat, than illegally moved the body to protect the sleazy, Mafia-connected mayor. Government police, incluing traffic cops, are often employed to cover-up murders or to perp murders for The Elite. Death Squads have always been as Amerikan as Johnny Appleseed's pie. According to a family member of an employee of both the Oregon State Police and US Air Force (deployed overseas during Gulf War #2), OSP is proud to currently operate Death Squads for murdering US citizens. OSP's Death Camps are located deep behind federal lines in National Parks (which are now controlled by United Nations Corporation via UNESCO treaty signed by Resident George Bush Jr.). The gigantic National Parks (and perhaps state parks) serve as anonymous burial grounds for victims of the Death Squads. This family member bragged that OSP (and perhaps USAF) believes police Death Squads are the best thing since sliced meat, since OSP used its "descretionary" power of "selective enforcement" only upon certain allegedly "undesirable" US citizens. This conversation was conducted by this webmaster on Delta Airlines flight from Oregon to Dallas. Who controlled these Death Squads, and issued illegal orders for assassination of US citizens (after some sort of Star Chamber ex parte "trial"), was not explained.
Was this conversation at 35,000 feet on Delta's Boeing 757 an implied death threat to this webmaster, who was scheduled that month to subpoena Knoxville's Skull & Bones mayor Victor Ashe, attorney-at-law, to testify at trial about his approval of organized crime and racketeering perped by his Mafia-convicted tow-trucker car-theft contractors and their $40-Billion/year multinational cartel (that was paid a $7-Billion government contract to bomb the World Trade Center complex with Knoxville's Controlled Demolitions Incorporated and hide the evidence and obstruct justice during the terrorist self-investigation), and ask Ashe questions about his alleged history of criminal convictions for homosexual public acts of indecency in Atlanta and Washington DC (as alleged by insiders at KPD)? The mayor declined a previous opportunity to testify in court under oath about his homosexual arrest record and gangster associations, and paid his government-employed trial lawyers to quash this webmaster's subpoena in state Circuit Court in Knox County. This webmaster won that trial pro se, and the mayor, during his last week in office, confessed during city council and on TV, that every allegation made by this webmaster in that case, and other class actions, were true, that his government police and Mafia contractors engaged in racketeerng and orgainzed crime. The mayor actually sued by class action his own Mafia tow-trucking car-theiving contractors for fraud and theft from the government and the public, and recommnded criminal charges, as a "cross-claim" against his co-conspirators in an attempt to avoid personal responsibilty. Was this "DUI" arrest an attempt to discredit a potential witness to crimes by military and/or governments? Was this alleged "intoxication" an assassination attempt?
How did the local newspapers and TV reporters get notice and copies of the "unserved" arrest warrant, when it was NOT a public document on file, since the commander was NOT officially under arrest? This author was denied access to any of the information contained in that warrant, since it was not on file with the general sessions court clerk. Does this discrepancy indicate the commander was set up? Why did the TANG's Censorship Affairs, er, Office of Strategic Disinformation, er, "Public" Affairs, waiver its power to rebut these potentially bogus allegations by its allies in the Police State, and refuse to defend their commanding officer? Not even a routine declaration of "innocent until proven guilty". Why did the military command roll over and consent to publicized lynching of one of its shooting stars? Why did the Pentagon throw him under the bus? How did Amerikan Gulags entrap a career soldier who survived POW camps in Afghanistan and Iraq? Now that the Commie KGB is running US Homeland Security, is the KGB using Homeland Security cops to raid its arch enemies from the Cold War? Why did Police State cannibalize one of its shootin' stars? Was this "mental health commitment" to the Loony Bin just a fancy legal maneuver by the colonel and his military trial lawyers, to keep his driver license - and his multi-million-dollar pilot's license, intact? Seems like overkill to me. Besides, how can his competative military career survive it? While it's not uncommon for military members to survive a DUI arrest, they are stripped of their driving rights, and they ride out their stagnated careers waiting for retirement. For people hired to wage bloody battle, most get their ass kicked by DUI lawyers and traffic copsters. Presumably, most rich folks can still pay a defense lawyer a "few" thousand dollars to get a DUI case "dismissed upon payment of costs" or even "nolo prossed" ("failure to prosecute"). After a dismissal, the DUI arrest can be "expunged" from the court docket, usually for another fee. That's the bottom line - maximum extortion of cash with a minmum of time and work. Professionals who need their driver license contract in order to work are often granted this "relief", when they can afford it.
The only other time I've heard of this Nut House stunt was when one of the US government's drug-dealing hit men, er, "informants", went nuts and killed his battered girl friend. Murder charges were dropped after he got out of the Loony Bin - at least until I got involved on the case pro bono as an unpaid "citizen informant". We won a double conviction for murder and kidnapping. Now, the hit man works for the Knox County DA, and the assistant prosecutor who convicted him was fired. The Feds "take care of" their expendable assassins, sometimes. Too bad they don't treat their vets that well. Or is this just an escalation in the Drink-Driving War? Suspicious minds want to know.
Epilog After 30 days imprisonment in Peninsula Mind-Control Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the colonel was "cured" of his criminality and released back into society to be doubly jeopardized and prosecuted for the crime he was "cured" of (and his insurance company was billed accordingly). The District Attorney General filed a "First Offense" DUI-precrime warrant for arrest against him. He was "served" the arrest warrant, arrested, "booked" and released on "$2,000" bail-bond ($200 prepaid non-refundable insurance policy to appear in sessions court on April 28, 2004). Between the initial warrantless arrest and service of the "official" arrest warrant, the Tennessee legislature made a radical change in the law governing arrest warrants. This change allegedly made it easier for innocent people to stay out of jail while defending themselves from false charges. But it also allegedly made it easier for smart criminals to evade arrest by police, forcing crime victims to make citizen arrests or to defend themselves with deadly force from criminals running amok. Bail-bond companies were rightfully crucified on the Satanic altar of "justice", since they were stripped of a large percentage of their irate "customers".
Note that this new Amendment for issuance of arrest warrants took effect after the traffic stop of the commander, after the arrest warrant was signed by a judge, but BEFORE the "arrest warrant" was served. Does this prohibition on arrest warrants apply in this case? Does this new law provide the commander with an additional opportunity to sue the deputies for false arrest and imprisonment, since the original complaint was made by an informant who was not a "law enforcement officer"? At any rate, the wing commander was immediately stripped of his military command, without bothering with a trial or conviction. Presumably, police are now staking-out his residence and workplace in attempts to arrest him for a "Second Offense DUI" (thoughtcrime, which is what's falsely charged for allegedly "driving on a suspended license" contract, whether or not he applies for and is issued a "restricted license"). If the commander is eventually ordered to be alleged "guilty", he will be coerced under death threats to "voluntarily" sign a contract under duress for probation or parole, to waiver all his constitutional rights for a period of time, and to agree to "guilt" for all future accused traffic crimes, and to waiver all due-process constitutional requirements for "reasonable suspicion" and PC before being arrested and searched, making it easier to win future convictions against him. What mind-control "experiments", tortures and drugs were forced on the "retrained" colonel during his "rehabilitation"...? Was his military mind-control programming in need of a routine "rehaul"? What Top Secrets has he now forgotten? Just how much did the commander's enlarged cranium shrink? At least he didn't duct-tape his hands and feet, cut his nipples off and crash his air-bagged cacoon to death, like USAF's mind-control doctor, Colonel Phillip Shue. And the castration of the US military continues, allowing deconstruction of a defenseless Amerika by an army of traitorous mercenaries employed by the Satanic New World Odor. Making History Annotated This new law banning most arrest warrants sworn to exclusively by private citizens was coincidentally passed soon after this webmaster wrote a blistering 30-page affidavit as an eyewitness, in defense of a man in Knox County general sessions court in May 2003. He was innocent of the criminal charge of "using a public restroom" (a/k/a "criminal trespass"), and was locked up 10 days in maximum-security prison, since he was stubborn enough to refuse paying extortion money (non-refundable "bail" insurance policy) for a crime he did not commit. He was victimized in a "citizen's arrest" perped by a corporate security guard, employed by a local hospital. Such security guards routinely pretend to impersonate government police officers (which is a crime). Private security guards outnumber police officers at least 3:1, since corporations don't trust police officers to protect their personnel and assets (which is a tip to the rest of the public to own and carry loaded guns, study citizen arrest procedures, and know when to use deadly force in self defense). My affidavit included evidence that this building was open to the public, doors were not locked, nor signposted "NO TRESPASSING". The innocent man was illegally arrested and assaulted AFTER he had exited the building, negating another "essential element" of the crime of trespass, that requires a guilty defendant to refuse to leave when ordered to do so. The public defenders' office refused to represent him, because he refused to plead guilt to something he didn't do (including in a prior case he won dismissal of, after my coaching), so he was thus pro se. I filed my affidavit with the court, and I showed up to testify pro bono (without pay) as a witness to the "crime scene" and employment history of the fake "cop" (based on a conversation with his supervisor, laughing that, "Of course he's not a cop!"). During the hearing, as the innocent man stood shackled to another prisoner, I pointed out to the judge that the accuser was NOT a government "law enforcement officer" as required by Tennessee Pattern Jury Instuctions for conviction of "resisting arrest" or "resisting stop-and-frisk". The judge alleged (but not under oath), "He sure look's like a cop to me," and I pointed out he was not wearing a uniform, only a polo shirt with the hospital logo on it (DOH!). The security guard testified he paid a "bond" fee to "the sheriff's department's bonding company". I testified that a "bond" is just a routine insurance premium, purchased from ANY private insurance company. Note that I was not allowed to simply testify pro se, but was interrupted during my testimony. I testified that I suspected the defendant was illegally stalked by government agents from City of Knoxville Police Department, since the defendant had defeated KPD in city court exactly one day prior to his strange arrest by the hospital's security guard. He set a national legal precedent during his successful pro se defense, as coached by your's truly and ordered by Judge John Rossen, that even when a person loses a traffic citation defense in court, he does NOT have to pay any fines or court costs when "indigent" (using the "Homestead Exemption" in civil traffic court as routinely used in every federal bankruptcy case and state civil court case). I testified in sessions court that his strange arrest at the hospital, less than 24 hours after his victory in city court, perhaps gave motive to the insane acts perped by the security guard, since he might have been contacted by an "informant" from KPD, making false allegations of "reasonable suspicion" and PC for arrest, perhaps for alleged "terrorism" under Homeland Security. A witness interviewed by me at the hospital, a nurse, said she had never heard of such an arrest for using a public restroom, and that such an arrest was very odd. I also testified to the "crime scene" lacking essential elements for conviction of criminal trespass. The assistant district attorney then screamed, "He just said a 'legal word' ("essential element")! He's practicing law without a license! That's a crime!" I testified that I'm just testifying as a witness pro se, on behalf of an innocent person who is pro se. The judge also freaked out that I was tape recording my testimony during this "hearing", which is my right (I never speak to police, prosecutors or judges without a recording device). The judge had chosen to not answer my oral motion for permission to record in a timely fashion, which is his waiver of objection and nonverbal ratification of this routine contract. At that point the judge "threw me out" of "his" courtroom, with illegal orders to never come back to Division 3. The judge refused to allow the inncent defendant to defend himself pro se, and assigned a public defender, and scheduled another hearing. The "defender" refused to use any of my testimony or affidavit (even after I went to their palatial new HQ and spoke with them for 30 minutes about my evidence). The "PD" pressured the innocent client to plead guilty, in order to be released immediately without payment of fines or court costs (knowing that pleading "guilty" destroyed any future lawsuit for damages from false arrest and imprisonment). He was facing six months in prison while simply waiting to go to trial, even if he won his case, and was getting sicker every day from the torture of denial of all medical care for a bleeding head injury perped by the private security guard at the "hospital" (and he was injected with live TB mycoplasma via "skin scratch test"). So he caved in to the "plea bargain" under illegal duress, and signed the "voluntary" contract confessing "guilt", rather than die in a gulag. Within a couple of months, local newspapers reported that hospital security guards at UT Medical Center were impersonating government police officers. What was censored from the news was that UT Medical Center (a "teaching hospital") is NOT even owned by any government or private entity INSIDE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BUT IS OWNED BY A CANADIAN CARTEL, UNDER THE ROYAL BRITISH COMMONWEALTH EMPIRE (as all plaintiffs' lawyers and judges must acknowlege in court documents). So, the hospital security "police" force was stripped of its illegal use of NCIC government computer access, and its name was changed to reflect its real-world status as a private employer. Defendants on trial for trespassing reportedly won dismissal of illegal charges pending against them. Then this new law was passed by lawmakers, to prohibit private security guards from making arrests under then color of law as government "law enforcement" officers. Citizen arrests were still allowed, but the security guards would also be required to transport the suspected shoplifters to court without assistance of police officers. This amendment also protected corrupt politicians, police, and government-employed Mafia towing contractors from arrest warrants and arrest by police, changing the law so that career crooks can turn themselves in at their leisure, without the added pressure of coordinating a legel defense from behind bars. Coincidentally, about the same time as the hospital case, I also filed an affidavit of criminal complaint with the state police against the tow-truckers and their co-conspirators in government, including their trial lawyer Billy Stokes, who is running for the state senate. Coincidentally, in November 2003, the Skull and Bones mayor of Knoxville, Victor Ashe, attorney-at-law, accused his employee towing contractors of fraud and racketeering, cancelled their contracts, banned them from future contracts, and sued them via a class action in Knox County chancery court. The mayor's class action was basically a "cross complaint" against his co-conspirators, quoting verbatum from my own class actions against the mayor filed in state circuit courts and federal court, in an attempt to sheild the mayor from personal liability for his 12-year approval of their massive car-theft cartel. KILLER EPILOG Regarding the murders of Loudon County sheriff's deputy Jason Scott and the son of a Loudon/Roane County assistant district attorney, Michael Harvey, news reports and police press conferences failed to address obvious discrepancies in the alleged chain of events. For one thing, no eyewitness ever saw Michael Harvey shoot the sheriff's deputy, or shoot at any other police officer. No SWAT team made a successful home invasion to catch him alive in the act.
Is it really plausible that he was still getting special treatment just because he was the prosecutor's son? After killing a cop? Usually, sheriffs and chiefs of police only allow professional drug dealers and mafia hit men ("police informants") to kill cops without fear of prosecution. The only reported eyewitness to allege assault by Michael Harvey was his mother. And her dead son is not able to rebut that allegation with verbal testimony. Her husband the prosecutor was never quoted in any press reports. A plausible scenario is like the events alleged in the Jon Benet Ramsey case, that the parents did the killing and manipulated the evidence to mislead an investigation. It's plausible that one or both of his parents killed their son (or aided and abetted the conspiracy), while the mother walked next door and called 911 with a false allegation (her billionaire father is reportedly running for political office, where he can hang out with elite career criminals). One issue that was never discussed in dozens of news reports, was the lack of alibi for the prosecutor. Where exactly was he while all this was going on? Another plausible explanation of the crime scene is identical to the alleged "suicide" of millionaire rocker Curt Cobain.
Did someone else shoot the deputy as an alibi? This is the best explanation for why he was shot without warning upon exiting his patrol car, which is a very unusual way for a cop to die. Police routinely plant guns on dead victims of police killings. Andpolice routinely shoot themselves, their fellow cops,and their own police cars - then claim otherwise.
If the kid was such a great shot, and was in a drug-withdrawal-induced psychosis, why didn't he follow up by killing 10 or 100 more when he had the chance? He was facing the Death Penalty in Tennessee, no matter how few he killed.
Even without shooting at police officers, the prosecutor's son apparently did not look forward to life imprisonment without parole (and assaults-by-injection and lobotomy-by-electrocution), at Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital for the criminally mind-kontrolled. If the real killer of deputy Scott was not Michael Harvey, and that perpetator was wearing a police uniform, or was known to the police, he could have easily waited until dark and just walked out of the house and through the thin blue line. (Perhaps the prosecutor himself?) If the murder of deputy Scott was officially sanctioned, perhaps to protect a crooked prosecutor in a narcotics-funded county, then it would be a relatively simple matter to organize this wargame. Or, was deputy Scott a relatively "honest cop", and his corrupt masters needed him out of the way? That would also explain the need for a Masonic church to bury the deputy, since the Masonic police and courts could be more easily kept under control, since their blood oaths promise execution for loose lips. The Masonic Mafia routinely practices ritual killings, including firing loaded guns at fellow intiates. Frankly, any Mason who takes an oath to murder his entire family if asked to do so by his masters in the Lodge/Temple/Tomb, is capable of killing a mere cop. Was the prosecutor a Mason? Frankly, this explanation fits better than a rich kid freaking out about being late for school, after a hard night working at the pizza shack. Put a gun to anybody's head, and 9 out of 10 people will pull the trigger to kill an innocent person, if told it will save their own life. This is the principle of psychology and Mind Kontrol used by all armies in all wars. Even General President George Washington ordered his own troops executed for desertion, when they refused to be white slaves and fight the British in freezing cold weather without food, shoes or paychecks. Presumably, if the kid really did go psychotic from normal use of prescription antidepressants (homicide and suicide are routine withdrawal symptoms from prescription psy-meds), the deputy's widow and the prosecutor's family will win multimillion-dollar wrongful death lawsuits against Peninsula Psychiatric Hospital and its doctors, the school system and individuals who recommended experimental mind-altering medications, and the manufacturers of the pharmaceuticals involved which triggered this non-crime. Michael Harvey , if he had survived, could have "pled guilty by reason of insanity" to avoid prison, just like trillionaire George Bushes' family friend John Hinkley Jr., who allegedly shot President Ronald Reagan. The Hinkley CIA family enjoyed dinnerwith the BushCIAfamily thesame week John Jr. wasarrested for shooting PresidentReagan, only three weeks after Reagan-Bush seized office in 1980 with treason perped against President Carter and the US Embassy hostages in Iran with Colonel Oliver North's October Surprise and homicidal sabotage of the US military rescue operation. and promoted Bush Sr. 8 years early, currently on parole from the Big Nut House. Note that parents are now prosecuted by prosecutors, after the horrific tragedy of their children perping suicide on themselves.
Or, was there anyone else with a motive to derail the deputy and/or prosecutor? At any rate, this insanity turned the wing commander from being the unluckiest driver in America, to being the luckiest DUI defendant in history. Presumably, after destroying a life via false arrest for DUI, the prosecution is forced to drop all charges. What else could you expect from an insane legal system?
Stay tuned, gentle reader. Highlights on this case in the news below are added for shock value. And yes, I did contact all these "news" prostitutes, er, "professionals", and no, they did not report any corrections of their "disinformation" campaign (a/k/a LIES). If they did, their masters would have to kill them. |
Col. John Keenan pleads guilty to DUI by Teresa Woodard, Reporter The former commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing pled guilty to drunk driving Wednesday. A judge gave Colonel John Keenan the standard punishment. He will spend 48 hours in jail sometime in the next 30 days and he must pay a $350 fine. His driver's license will also be suspended for one year. Loudon County officers pulled Keenan over in December, 2003 after getting 911 calls from drivers on Interstate 75, reporting a government-issued car driving erratically. A blood test administered to Keenan showed the level of alcohol in his system was almost four times the legal limit at the time of the stop. The Loudon County deputy who made that stop was Jason Scott. He was killed in the line of duty in March of 2004. Keenan's lawyer initially planned to contest the DUI charge, since Officer Scott could not testify, but attorney Craig Garrett said Wednesday his client just wanted to move on and resolve the issue. Keenan was relieved of his command after the incident. He then retired from the military. [NOTE: During the TV coverage of this "trial" and his plea of "guilty", Keenan appeared under the influence of heavy sedation from prescription medications, and/or brain damage from prescription medications (or electric/insulin shock "treatments"). Keenan could NOT hold his head up, and even appeared to be banging his head against the "defense" table where he was sitting. What is the REAL story here? How much cash up front was his lawyer trying to extort from him before he would even TRY to win - $10,000 or $100,000? Why would Keenan agree to a DUI conviction that will cost him $3-MILLION in lost income from a civilian career as an airline pilot, not to mention costing him his extremely successful military career? What did Keenan know about USAF/ANG and White House involvement in perping the "terrorist" massacres of 9-11-2001, specifically the use of military tanker/cargo aircraft as robot-drone substitutes for commercial airliners, as detailed in the declassified Pentagon warplan of Operation NORTHWOODS? Meanwhile, the sabotage, destruction, termination, dismantling and massacre of the US military forces continues unabated, as tens of millions of illegal-alien terrorists invade the United States of America, and aid its overthrow by sabateurs for the New World Order.]
JASON SCOTT, DUI CASE COLLIDE IN LOUDON COUNTY Reporter: Teresa Woodard The recent death of a Loudon County deputy may have an impact on another high profile case, this one involving a local military officer's pending prosecution for DUI. In December of 2003, the former commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing, Colonel John Keenan, was charged with drunk driving. Col. Keenan was stationed at McGhee Tyson Airbase in Blount County. Loudon County's Sheriff says that on the night Keenan was arrested, dispatchers took more than one 911 call reporting a car with government tags driving dangerously, southbound on I-75 [for a maximum distance of 2 miles, but no calls during the 180 miles from Nashville to Knoxville's I-40/I-75 split?]. Dispatchers radioed this information to a nearby deputy, who reported seeing the car. The deputy eventually pulled Keenan over, and charged him with DUI. According to the arrest warrant, Keenan was behind the wheel with a blood alcohol level of .38, which is almost five times the legal limit [and indicating a false-positive test score since so-called blood-alcohol lab tests cannot test for alcohol]. The deputy who made the arrest was Jason Scott, killed in the line of duty in March of 2004. The absence of Scott's testimony may now have an impact on Keenan's prosecution. Two other officers did arrive as back-up for Scott at the scene of Keenan's arrest, but they didn't see Keenan driving; only Officer Scott and the 911 callers did. During a court appearance on Wednesday, Keenan's attorney, Craig Garrett of Maryville, said he plans to file a motion questioning whether Scott had probable cause to pull his client over at all. "Certainly evidence that [Scott] would have had to offer would have been relevant," says Garrett. "Without his evidence, the case has some problems." While some may question this legal tactic, UT Law Professor Neil Cohen, who is a nationally known expert in criminal defense, says that Keenan's attorney is doing the right thing. "A lawyer has to represent his or her client zealously within the law," explains Cohen. "It may well be the stop, subsequent search, and interrogation were unconstitutional, and are invalid. We don't know that, but a lawyer is ethically bound to raise the issues and to zealously advocate on behalf of a client. It sounds like that's what this lawyer is doing." Cohen says Officer Scott's death will likely effect more cases than Keenan's prosecution. [A possible motive for murder?] "It makes the prosecutor's efforts much more difficult not only in this case but I'm sure in other cases as well," says Cohen. "This officer's testimony would have been very helpful to the prosecution, and now they're deprived of it." Keenan didn't testify on Wednesday [since a defendant is never required to testify against himself, and it is entirely up to the prosecution to prove its case without any help]. The motion delayed his case until July. The 911 calls may help prosecutors [no it won't, unless the informant appears to testify in person and can be cross examined by the defense], but Cohen says that won't be as helpful as Scott's testimony would have been [Scott's testimony is MANDATORY since he must testify to ESSENTIAL Elements of the victimless "crime" of breach of contract]. After his arrest, Col. Keenan was relieved of his command. Keenan's attorney says his client has now retired from the Air National Guard, and is "getting on with his life." DISCUSS THIS STORY IN THE WBIR TALKBACK COMMUNITY: CLICK HERE to talk about this latest twist in the Jason Scott tragedy. Validity of traffic stop challenged Ex-Guard commander charged with DUI By JIM BALLOCH, [email protected] LENOIR CITY - A defense lawyer said Wednesday that he will challenge the validity of a Dec. 19 traffic stop that led to John Keenan, who was then commander of the McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base, being charged with driving under the influence. Three Loudon County deputies were involved in the arrest. But the officer who made the initial traffic stop, Jason Scott, was shot and killed March 12 in an unrelated incident. Keenan's Sessions Court trial, scheduled for Wednesday, was reset to 9 a.m. July 21. His attorney, Craig Garrett, said he will file a motion to question if there was reasonable cause to make the initial stop of Keenan. "After reviewing the evidence and based on what we have learned, I don't think there is enough evidence to support that stop," Garrett said after court Wednesday. The absence of Scott's testimony could affect the outcome of the case, though the other two officers, who arrived after Scott's initial stop, are available to testify. "Without (Scott's) evidence, this case has some problems," Garrett said. Loudon County authorities said Keenan's arrest followed a call to 911 reporting a vehicle was being driven recklessly. When Keenan was stopped, it initially appeared that he was suffering from a medical problem, and he was taken to a Loudon County hospital. A blood test indicated that his blood alcohol level was 0.38 percent, more than four times the 0.8 percent that in Tennessee establishes a legal presumption of intoxication. Garrett said he is also "exploring the possibility" of challenging the admissibility of the blood test. Since the blood was taken for medical reasons and Keenan did not consent to it being taken for law enforcement purposes, Garrett said, the results may be "medical records (that the hospital) should not have turned over ( to police) without a subpoena." In Tennessee, blood can be taken in traffic investigations without a suspect's consent only in cases of vehicular homicide or vehicular assault. Keenan declined to comment Wednesday. As a colonel, he had commanded the air base since 2001. He was also wing commander of 134th Air Refueling Wing. After his arrest, he was relieved of command. He has since retired and is "just getting on with his life," Garrett said. Jim Balloch may be reached at 865-342-6315. Gov't Says 41 Million Have Pre-Diabetes That's 41-million potential "false-positive" DUI lab tests... By LAURAN NEERGAARD WASHINGTON (AP) -- A surprising 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes, high enough blood sugar to dramatically increase their risk of getting the disease, say new government figures that double previous estimates. The number leaped because doctors have changed the criteria for diagnosing pre-diabetes after research showed that they were missing too many at-risk patients. "These latest numbers show how urgent the problem really is," said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, who will announce the new data at a federal health meeting in Baltimore Thursday. "We need to help Americans take steps to prevent diabetes or we will risk being overwhelmed by the health and economic consequences of an ever-growing diabetes epidemic." The good news is that modest diet and exercise can delay, if not prevent, the onset of diabetes in many pre-diabetics. But "most of these people have no idea" they're at risk, said Dr. Francine Kaufman, past president of the American Diabetes Association. Some 18 million Americans have full-blown diabetes, a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, amputations and heart disease that claims 180,000 U.S. lives a year. Some people are born with it, but the vast majority have Type 2 diabetes, an illness that develops, often in middle age, when their bodies lose the ability to turn blood sugar into energy. That's a very gradual loss, and it can be measured by blood tests. Glucose levels that are above normal but not yet in the diabetic range signal pre-diabetes - and a change in what one test considers normal prompted the government's new increased estimates. Doctors once thought blood sugar levels below 110 milligrams as measured by the "impaired fasting glucose" test - given before eating anything in the morning - were normal. But the American Diabetes Association in November changed the definition of normal to below 100 milligrams - meaning anyone with a fasting glucose between 100 and 125 milligrams is now classified pre-diabetic. That seems like a small change. But a lot of people are in that 100 to 110 range, data that conclude about 40 percent of people ages 40 to 74 are pre-diabetic, explained CDC diabetes chief Dr. Frank Vinicor. Changing the pre-diabetes cut-off "isn't an arbitrary decision," Vinicor said. "It's based on emerging science from the last two to three years," that found the risk of glucose-spurred heart disease began rising at lower levels than once thought. Cut-offs for a second test - where blood sugar levels are measured two hours after a glucose-rich drink - remain unchanged. Levels between 140 and 199 milligrams are considered pre-diabetic in that test. So who needs to seek one of these tests? The ADA says: -Anyone 45 or older who is overweight should seek testing during the next routine doctor visit. -Anyone over 45 who are of normal weight should ask their doctor if testing is appropriate. -Doctors should consider testing younger people if they are overweight and have another risk factor: a diabetic relative; bad cholesterol; high blood pressure; diabetes during pregnancy or gave birth to a baby bigger than 9 pounds; or belong to a racial minority group. Doctors typically repeat the test every three years if results are normal, but may test people with multiple risk factors more often. If the test diagnoses pre-diabetes, there are proven ways to lower the risk of full-blown illness, Vinicor stressed, such as walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week, and losing 5 to 7 percent of body weight. On the Net: National Diabetes Fact Sheet video available Col. John Keenan is now officially removed of his duties as commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing, after being charged with DUI in December. Now the 134th is in new hands. Col. Tim Dearing planned to retire in three months. Instead, at age 50, he's starting a brand new job. "There's no doubt in my mind I will be full throttle for quite some time to go," says Dearing, "and that's a challenge personally also, because I have a new daughter at home. 9 months old. I was planning to be Mr. Mom!" Dearing is going from diaper duty to full time command. He's taking over in troubled times. Dearing says the unit has put Keenan's incident behind them, and moved on. But America is at war. The 134th has sent troops overseas and will likely have do it again. "It's challenging in the sense that that we really have people that want to volunteer to go," Dearing says. "I mean, they're excited about doing that and taking care of our nation, but it's the families they leave behind. We have to make darn sure we take care of those families so the troops aren't worried." The colonel has had a 30 year military career. It started at the McGhee Tyson Air Base in 1974. He's happy to be back, and happy to tackle new challenges, like motivating his men and women, lobbying for new aircraft, and maintaining what he calls, overwhelming community support. "Thirty years of a career, and I've never seen the support that we have in Knoxville, Maryville, and all of East Tennessee." Dearing was named interim commander when Keenan was charged. Warrant charges 134th commander with DUI by Lance Coleman KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE - A warrant charging the 134 Air Refueling Wing commander with driving under the influence of alcohol is on file at the Loudon County Sheriff's Office in connection with a Dec. 18 traffic stop. According to Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider, truck drivers helped Deputy Jason Scott stop Col. John Keenan near mile marker 76 on Interstate 75. A blood-alcohol test showed the veteran military officer had a 0.38 blood-alcohol level, well above the legal limit of 0.08 and enough to cause someone to go into a comatose state, the sheriff said. Keenan is being treated at an undisclosed medical facility. Col. Tim Deering is currently acting commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing at McGhee Tyson Airbase. Guider said this is apparently Keenan's first offense and that when he's released from medical care, he'll be taken into custody. The Loudon County warrant states that Scott was dispatched on a call of a reckless driver headed southbound on I-75. Scott located the four-door Dodge, activated his emergency lights and siren, but the driver continued on for a mile without stopping. ``It (the vehicle) was not speeding, but it would not adhere to the blue lights and sirens,'' the warrant said. ``There were a couple of tractor-trailers that assisted in slowing down and surrounding Mr. Keenan, to get him to stop,'' the sheriff said. According to the warrant, the driver did have slurred speech and didn't know where he was. Deputies couldn't determine if he was under the influence of alcohol because he didn't smell like he had been drinking, but was very disoriented, Guider said. The sheriff said Scott called for an ambulance to transport Keenan to the emergency room at Fort Sanders Medical Center-Loudon. When the ambulance arrived, emergency personnel checked his blood sugar level to determine if he was having a diabetic problem. When his blood sugar registered normal, they took him to the hospital for further treatment. ``They thought there were medical problems,'' Guider said. ``The doctor called back and said he was affected by alcohol,'' and provided the blood test results. ``Obviously, with a blood-alcohol content like that, you are very susceptible to overdose and could go into a comatose state,'' Guider said. Asked whether deputies gave him preferential treatment because of his position at the airbase, Guider said, ``To my knowledge, no one knew who he was.'' The sheriff said that even if the deputies had known Keenan's blood-alcohol content at the scene, they wouldn't have jailed him or anyone else in a similar situation. In this case, a warrant will be served after Keenan is medically treated. ``It's for their safety. Jails can not properly medicate people like that,'' he said. ``Obviously, people react to alcohol differently than others and people have different levels of tolerance. Alcohol poisoning can be different from individual to individual.'' Major General Gus L. Harriet, adjutant general of The Tennessee Air National Guard, released the following statement: ''We are certainly aware of the situation concerning the commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing. We have taken the appropriate steps to ensure that Tennessee Air National Guard Operations continue as normal at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard base. Col. Tim Deering is the acting commander.'' Guider said his deputies are committed to stopping impaired drivers and that more impaired drivers take to the road during the holidays. ``When you have more people on the road, the percentage of people driving with alcohol in their system goes up,'' he said. ``Our message in Loudon County is we're not going to tolerate impaired drivers, especially during the holiday season when we're looking closer for (impaired) drivers.'' Keenan, McGhee Tyson commander, charged with DUI By JOHN STILES The commander of the McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base faces a driving under the influence charge when he is released from a hospital, Loudon County authorities said Monday. Col. John K. Keenan, who commands the air base and is wing commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing, was stopped by Loudon County officers Friday, said Sheriff's Sgt. Jimmy Davis. "When they first pulled him over they thought it was medical (a medical problem)," said Davis. Keenan was taken to a Loudon County hospital where doctors said he should remain overnight to get him "stable," said Davis. Keenan registered 0.38 on a test, Davis said. The presumed state level of intoxication is 0.08. When it came time to release Keenan from the Loudon County facility, deputies were told that Keenan should go to Peninsula Hospital in Louisville, Tenn., in Blount County. Peninsula Hospital provides inpatient mental health and alcohol/drug crisis stabilization services for adults, adolescents and children. Davis said deputies have obtained a warrant signed by a magistrate, which will be served when Keenan is released from Peninsula. Keenan took command of the base in 2001 when Col. John Knable retired. Keenan was commissioned in 1983 through a Reserve Officer Training Corps program. He took over at McGhee Tyson with the rank of lieutenant colonel and has since been promoted to colonel. In a prepared statement, Maj. Gen. Gus L. Hargett, adjutant general of the Tennessee Military Department said: "We are certainly aware of the situation concerning the commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing. We have taken the appropriate steps to insure that Tennessee Air National Guard operations continue as normal at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base. "Col. Tim Deering is the acting commander," he added. John Stiles may be reached at 865-981-9101.
134TH COMMANDER CHARGED WITH DUI Reporter: Teresa Woodard The Commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing, based at McGhee Tyson, is temporarily stripped of his duties, because he is charged with DUI. Colonel John Keenan's blood alcohol level was almost five times the legal limit, according to the Loudon County deputies who pulled him over. The deputies responded to 911 calls of a reckless driver on I-75 on Thursday afternoon, just after 3:00. The deputies turned on their lights and tried to pull over the car after seeing him swerve from the far right shoulder to the far left emergency lane on southbound 75, but the car wouldn't stop, according to Sgt. Jimmy Davis of the Loudon County Sheriff's Department. Davis says the deputies radioed to some semis for help. They slowed down, so the car had to, and deputies were able to pull him over. They say Col. John Keenan was driving. Deputies say he knew his name, but didn't know where he was, what day it was, or the name of the President of the United States. They thought he had a medical condition, so an ambulance took him to the hospital. Deputies say an ER doctor told them it wasn't a medical condition Keenan was suffering from, but that he was intoxicated. A blood test showed an alcohol level of .38 in Keenan's system. Legally drunk in Tennessee is .08, so Keenan's test was just about five times the legal limit. "It was, I would imagine, a lifesaving deed that we did," says Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider. "In his condition and based on witnesses, there would've been an accident, probably." Keenan went from the hospital to rehab. The sheriff says he is charged with DUI and will be arrested when he gets out of treatment. A Tennessee native, he's been commander of the 134th since December of 2001. Tennessee's military department says operations are continuing as normal at the air base, but Keenan is temporarily stripped of his command. Col. Tim Deering is the acting commander.

Thank you, John Lee In Push to Stop Drunk Driving, Police Draw Blood Authorities Often Must Force Suspects to Give Sample; A Dilemma for Doctors; Mr. Jones Dies Fighting Wall Street Journal BROOKFIELD, Wis. -- After police stopped Robert H. Miller for driving erratically here one afternoon in February 2001, they asked for his license and registration. Then they asked for something else: his blood. Having been convicted of drunk driving once before, Mr. Miller refused to cooperate. So after he was taken to a hospital, five officers pinned him to the floor as a medical technician stuck a needle in his arm. His blood-alcohol level was 0.266% -- more than twice the legal limit. Mr. Miller, who declined to comment, challenged the tactic in court but lost. He pleaded no contest, was sentenced to up to 90 days in jail and lost his license for 18 months. In the past, police routinely asked suspected drunk drivers to blow into devices that extrapolated their blood's alcohol content from their breath. Now, authorities in most states are taking blood, by force if necessary. "I've really pushed it," says John O'Boyle, district attorney of Pierce County, Wis. Lawyers sometimes successfully challenge breath tests in court or persuade juries to doubt them, but "blood tests tend to be pretty bulletproof," Mr. O'Boyle says. Moreover, it's impossible to force a breath test on someone, but taking blood requires no cooperation. "If we have to literally strap you down if you refuse, that's what can happen to you," says Lt. Tony Almaraz, a Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman. Advocates say blood tests, once seldom used, now are a powerful weapon against drunk driving. But the tests raise two nettlesome questions: How much force should police be able to use in extracting blood from uncooperative suspects? And should medical professionals, who are honor-bound to obey patients' treatment wishes and protect their privacy, be compelled to do otherwise? For half a century, breath tests have been the standard in the U.S. and remain in wide use. But as penalties for driving under the influence increased, many suspects started refusing to submit, figuring the penalty for declining -- often a one-year license suspension -- beats a DUI conviction. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in a 1991 survey of 40 states that 19% of drivers arrested for DUI refused to be tested. More recent figures suggest that problem persists, with nearly 8,900 Massachusetts drivers, 11,900 Missouri drivers and 23,500 Florida drivers declining tests in 2001, officials in those states say. Frustrated by the increasing savvy of drunks and defense attorneys, at least eight states -- Alaska, Arizona, Iowa, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada and Texas -- have in recent years enacted statutes specifically permitting police to use reasonable force to obtain blood samples in DUI cases. Laws in at least seven other states allow police to take blood without the driver's consent, without explicitly authorizing force. In most other states, court rulings have authorized reasonable force to obtain blood. Many such rulings cite a little-known fact about driving laws in the U.S.: All motorists are considered to have consented to a search of their blood, breath or urine. Such "implied consent" laws were introduced in New York in 1953, and today all 50 states and the District of Columbia have them. The circumstances under which blood can be taken vary. In some states, blood can be taken only from repeat offenders or in cases where people are killed or injured in crashes. Some allow exceptions for members of religious groups that oppose certain medical treatments and for those with health conditions that make blood draws dangerous, such as hemophiliacs. Warrants usually aren't required because alcohol dissipates from the bloodstream, leaving police little time to seek one -- an "exigent circumstance" long allowed by courts as an exception to Fourth Amendment warrant requirements. No national statistics exist, but in Wisconsin the number of blood samples taken from DUI suspects has doubled since 1995, to 21,418 in 2003. State officials didn't track how many were legally intoxicated, but they say that in 92% of the 38,214 DUI cases handled in 2002, the drivers were convicted. Alarmed by what they see as diminished police vigilance, anti-DUI activists praise the trend toward increased reliance on blood evidence. As the number of licensed drivers in the U.S. climbed, DUI arrests fell to about 1.5 million in 2002 from a 1990 peak of 1.8 million, and the estimated number of alcohol-related traffic deaths edged up slightly, to 17,419 in 2002. Drunk driving remains the second-most-common crime in the U.S. behind drug offenses. Critics of the practice see a threat to privacy and civil liberties, with judges in Rhode Island, New Jersey and Wisconsin barring, limiting or questioning the practice in recent years. In Pennsylvania, the state police say they don't take blood if a driver refuses, but might if the driver is unconscious. The ways in which blood is drawn vary considerably. Under one common scenario, drivers are stopped by police and asked to perform a field sobriety test. If they fail this, they are taken to a medical facility, such as a hospital, and blood is drawn there. Some physicians are alarmed when doctors or those working for them draw blood for police without consent. The doctors argue that the Hippocratic Oath requires them to put patients' needs and desires first and to respect their privacy and decisions to decline medical procedures. The American College of Emergency Physicians said in 1998 that it opposes requiring or permitting doctors to give blood-test results to police "because such reporting fundamentally conflicts with the appropriate role of physicians in the physician-patient relationship." "For me to draw blood from a patient who is refusing to have his blood drawn, unless I have compelling medical reasons for that blood sample, I'm committing assault and battery, and I'm not going to do it," says Dr. Phil Brewer, president of the Connecticut College of Emergency Physicians and a fellow at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Dr. Brewer says some doctors fear that reporting alcohol levels to the police might violate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which makes the unauthorized disclosure of patients' records a crime. "Who's willing to take that risk?" he asks. "I don't want to be the test case." The law, however, has an exception for certain "disclosures for law-enforcement purposes," according to rules drafted by the Department of Health and Human Services. Richard Campanelli, director of the department's civil-rights office, says the exception permits doctors to release blood-test results in DUI cases. Some states have amended their laws to deal with patient confidentiality, requiring doctors to hand over patients' blood in DUI cases. Indiana requires that blood and test results be given to police "even if the person has not consented to or otherwise authorized their release." At least three other states -- Hawaii, Illinois and Pennsylvania -- have similar laws. Another 14 states authorize (but do not require) such disclosures, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. In practice, police face little resistance from the nurses and medical technicians who typically draw blood. In 2000, a nurse at Community North Hospital in Indianapolis gave police and prosecutors a blood sample and the medical file of Eli Hannoy, who was in a wreck that killed two people, court records say. The hospital kept another blood sample. Tests of both revealed alcohol levels in the range of 0.2%, twice the limit, and he was convicted of operating a vehicle over the legal limit causing death, a felony. His conviction was overturned by the Indiana Court of Appeals, which found that police lacked probable cause to seek a blood sample, and the case is now set for retrial. The police sample cannot be used as evidence, the court ruled, but the hospital sample can be. Mr. Hannoy's lawyer says his client "remains innocent until proven guilty." A Community North spokeswoman declines to comment "due to privacy considerations." The U.S. Supreme Court last addressed taking blood against a driver's wishes in a 1966 case, Schmerber v. California . The defendant crashed his car into a tree after drinking at a tavern and a bowling alley. Injured, he was taken to the hospital. Police thought he looked drunk and directed a doctor to obtain a blood sample over the man's objection. He didn't physically resist, but challenged the action in an appeal of his DUI conviction. The Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that the incident didn't violate his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination or his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. The majority stressed, however, that the decision was narrow, based on the "reasonable manner" in which the blood was obtained -- "by a physician in a hospital environment." The majority warned that "serious questions ... would arise" if the blood were extracted "in other than a medical environment -- for example, if it were administered by police in the privacy of the stationhouse" because allowing that might "invite an unjustified element of personal risk of infection and pain." It added that "more substantial intrusions, or intrusions under other conditions" might not pass muster. These days, though, blood often is obtained under much different circumstances and sometimes via more-forceful means. State and federal courts have countenanced a range of police conduct in obtaining blood, from putting a chokehold on the carotid artery of a suspected drunk in California to shooting one in the arm with a stun-gun in Delaware. And blood often is extracted in police lockups and jailhouses -- just the sort of environment the Supreme Court said might be constitutionally troublesome. Testimony in a federal suit last year shows that authorities in Las Vegas regularly obtain blood samples in the Clark County Detention Center. The suit involved a 1998 incident. Police found Terry Jones, then 33, asleep at the wheel of a parked car, an open Budweiser between his thighs. He was arrested, taken to the jail and ordered to submit to a blood test. Mr. Jones, who had two prior DUI convictions, put up a furious fight. Guard Daniel Kresky testified that physical resistance to blood draws was a nightly event. Guards would use "whatever force is necessary," he testified, typically handcuffing defendants' arms behind their back, bending them over an examination table in the jail nurse's office and holding them down. Sometimes, drivers were held on the floor. "We always got our blood," he testified. Mr. Jones, 270 pounds, tossed several officers off his back with a buck of his head. Two officers testified that another stood on and kicked Mr. Jones's head; that officer denied the charge. Suddenly, Mr. Jones went limp. The coroner ruled that Mr. Jones died of acute cardiac arrhythmia, a heart-rhythm disturbance. But a second autopsy, performed by a retired deputy medical examiner at the request of Mr. Jones's widow, found that his head had been beaten and his left eye crushed. "Had it not been for that trauma, he probably wouldn't have died," that doctor testified. Last March, a jury ruled that police and jail officials weren't responsible. Paul Martin, the jail's chief, says it now uses a specially-made chair with Velcro straps to restrain drivers brought in for forced blood draws. Encounters over drivers' blood are beginning to give some judges second thoughts. In a Rhode Island case, police in 1997 arrested a woman on suspicion of DUI after a car she was driving struck and killed a motorcyclist. She submitted to a breath test, which found only minimal alcohol, but she refused to give blood, so the police got a warrant. Her blood tested positive for marijuana and cocaine. In pretrial litigation, the state Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that taking her blood without consent violated a provision in the state's implied-consent law, which says that if a driver refuses to submit to a test, "none shall be given." The court said the provision was meant to "prevent a violent confrontation between an arresting officer and a suspect unwilling to submit." (The defendant later pleaded no contest to DUI resulting in death.) Some state lawmakers advocated changing the law to allow force, but the Legislature hasn't done so. A year later, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that police in Edgewater went too far when they pinned a screaming, struggling suspected drunk driver to a hospital table, strapped down his legs and left arm and held him while a nurse drew eight vials of blood, which indicated that he was drunk. The court didn't bar the future use of force outright but said that under the circumstances the police used "unreasonable force." Barred from using blood evidence, prosecutors retried the man, who was convicted based on police testimony that he seemed drunk. In Wisconsin, state Court of Appeals Judge Charles Schudson says in an interview that the state's blood-drawing practices come "painfully, painfully close to a violation of civil liberties." An outspoken critic of DUI laws he deems too lax, Judge Schudson voted to uphold the use of force to obtain blood but only because he concluded that Wisconsin legal precedent required that he do so. In a Court of Appeals opinion written in 2002, he took the unusual step of asking the state Supreme Court to reverse its previous decisions supporting forced blood draws. So far, it has not done so.

SUSPECT IN COP MURDER IN TENSE STANDOFF WITH POLICE Reporter: Katie Allison Granju The 16 year old suspect in Friday morning's murder of a Loudon County Sheriff's Department Deputy remains holed up inside a private residence in the Shiloh Acres Subdivision near Harvey Road, as authorities continue to try to convince him to surrender. The suspect has been identified as Michael Harvey, son of Loudon County Assistant District Attorney, Frank Harvey. More than one-hundred officers from three counties, including a SWAT team, have surrounded the house. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is also on hand to provide support. In the more than twenty-four hours since the standoff began, authorities have tried telephoning Harvey inside the house, as well as calling his cell phone and sending him text messages. A public address system was also brought to the scene in an attempt to enter into negotiations with Harvey, who responded only with sporadic gunfire throughout the day on Friday. Power to the Harvey home was turned off Friday evening and no further gunfire has been reported. In an 11:00 am news briefing today, the Loudon County Sheriff told gathered reporters that police were planning a new entry attempt for later in the day, but that the lack of any communication from Michael Harvey means that he may be dead inside the house. On Friday, authorities attempted to reach the suspect via a SWAT robot with an attached camera, but the device suffered a mechanical failure. The camera was, however, able to confirm that Michael Harvey appeared to be the only person inside the home and that he has erected barricades to prevent entry by officers. Chemical agents were also been directed at the house in an attempt to force the teen to surrender, with no success. According to Knox County Sheriff, Tim Hutchison, the suspect is believed to have "as much (weaponry and ammunition) inside the house as we have outside," including automatic rifles and scopes. SWAT team members believe one of the weapons Harvey fired at officers on Friday is something similar to an AK-47. Sheriff Tim Guider says it was likely a .30 caliber rifle. Deputy Jason Scott of the Loudon County Sheriff's Department was shot and killed this morning while responding to a domestic violence call at the Harvey residence on Palmer Road near the Knox-Loudon County line. The call came from Michael Harvey's mother, who had been injured in a physical attack from her teenage son after she refused to let him drive to Lenoir City High SChool, where he's a student. Officer Scott was transported to UT Medical Center by Lifestar helicopter. The hospital confirmed his death on Friday afternoon. Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison says three Knox County Deputies and one Blount County Deputy were also wounded on Friday when gunfire from the suspect hit a woodpile behind which officers had positioned themselves in an attempt to reach the house. Debris from the woodpile hit the officers, but these injuries are not believed to be serious. The initial shooting took place at approximately 8:30 am Friday morning. According to the Loudon County Sheriff, deputies who attempted to retrieve Officer Scott as he lay wounded next to his car were initially impeded by shots fired from inside the home, delaying Scott's transport to UT Medical Center. Officers had to cover windows of a police vehicle with bulletproof vests in order to rescue Officer Scott. Check back regularly with WBIR and WBIR.com for frequent updates to this developing story. Sheriff's Deputy Killed During Shooting By DUNCAN MANSFIELD LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (AP) - Scores of officers surrounded a lakeside home Saturday in a standoff with a heavily armed teenager who killed a sheriff's deputy and kept officers at bay for more than a day. The 16-year-old had semiautomatic weapons with multiple 30-round magazines and fired on officers as they approached, said Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison. ``At this point, the only response we see out of him is when he starts shooting at officers he sees,'' Hutchison said. ``We hope he will come to some realization that he needs to come out and he needs to surrender.'' Officials had said they did not plan to move in on the house until Saturday morning at the earliest, but by late morning there had been no change. The confrontation started Friday morning when officers responding to a 911 call from a neighbor about a domestic dispute were turned back by heavy gunfire. ``The only thing we've got out of the house is gunfire,'' said Knox County Chief Deputy Dwight VanDeVate. ``We are still hopeful we get some positive outcome, but we have had absolutely no success whatsoever in establishing contact with the suspect.'' A SWAT team once made it into the garage before turning back, and robots sent into the house were blocked by obstacles. Officers fired tear gas into the house but got no response, and the teen did not answer calls or efforts to contact him over loudspeakers. Police identified the teen as Michael Harvey. Some of his relatives went to the scene trying to coax him into coming out, a spokeswoman for the Loudon County sheriff's department said early Saturday. Deputy Jason Scott, a three-year veteran of the Loudon County sheriff's department, was shot four times. A second officer saw Scott's body, retreated under fire and called for backup. Four other officers suffered minor injuries from debris when the teenager shot at them as they hid behind a woodpile. The officers were treated and are fine, police said. The boy's mother was treated at a local hospital and released. ``Deputies answered the call not knowing there were any weapons in the house. Officer Scott was the first one to arrive and was shot as he stepped out of the car,'' said Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider. Officers were able to remove the body of the slain officer, whose wife is expecting their first child. Through tears, Guider described Scott as ``a wonderful young man, very lively, very friendly, very outgoing.'' TEEN SUSPECT ATTACKED MOTHER FIRST; IS SON OF PROMINENT LOUDON COUNTY FAMILY Reporter: Katie Allison Granju According to Knox County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy, Dwight Van De Vate, Friday's murder of a Loudon County Sheriff's Deputy began with a domestic disturbance call at the home of Loudon County Assistant District Attorney, Frank Harvey. Van De Vate says that 16 year old suspect Michael Harvey, Frank Harvey's son, attacked his mother with a metal pipe when she told her son that he could not drive to school. She was concerned because Michael, a student at Lenoir City High School, had been out drinking the previous evening. Michael Harvey's mother is the former Director of Loudon County's United Way. Mrs. Harvey escaped the home and called Loudon County 911 from another residence. Deputy Jason Scott was dispatched to the scene and was gunned down when he stepped from his car at the Harvey home on Palmer Road in Shiloh Acres Subdivision. Deputy Scott was pronounced dead at UT Medical Center Friday afternoon. Check back with WBIR and WBIR.com for regular updates on this fast-breaking story. SHERIFF: SLAIN DEPUTY A ''WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN'' WITH BABY ON THE WAY Reporter: Katie Allison Granju According to Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider, Deputy Jason Scott was "a wonderful young man." Deputy Scott was murdered this morning when he stepped out of his car as he responded to a domestic violence call at the home of Loudon County Assistant District Attorney Frank Harvey. Harvey's son, 16 year old Michael Harvey, is suspected in Officer Scott's death. At this hour, Michael Harvey remains barricaded inside the Harvey residence on Palmer Road in the Shiloh Acres Subdivision. More than one hundred officers from various regional law enforcement agencies are on the scene and at least three other officers are reported to have been wounded in attempting to take the suspect into custody. Speaking to reporters from near the scene of the ongoing standoff, a tearful Sheriff Guider shared his memories of Officer Scott, who had been with the Sheriff's Department for three years. "He was lively and outgoing," says Guider. "Just a wonderful young man." Guider says that Officer Scott's pregnant wife has recently been under a doctor's care to prevent premature labor after several previous pregnancy losses. The couple's first baby was due this month, and Guider says he fears that the stress of her husband's murder will now cause Mrs. Scott to "deliver any time." He says that he would like to encourage everyone in the community to offer their support to the Scott family and the families of other officers wounded today. "These families need our prayers," says Sheriff Guider. Standoff between armed teen, 150 officers Teen killed sheriff's deputy CNN LENOIR CITY, Tennessee (AP) -- A heavily armed teen shot and killed a deputy sheriff responding to a domestic violence call Friday, then held about 150 officers at bay while hunkered down inside his family's lakeside home, authorities said. Officers were unable to approach the house because of heavy gunfire coming from the home. The 16-year-old had semiautomatic weapons with multiple 30-round magazines, said Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison. "At this point, the only response we see out of him is when he starts shooting at officers he sees," said Hutchison, who said officers planned to try to wait the teen out of the house. "And we hope he will come to some realization that he needs to come out and he needs to surrender." The suspect first attacked his mother during a morning fight, then fired on responding officers. Deputy Jason Scott, a three-year veteran of the Loudon County sheriff's department, was killed after getting hit four times by bullets. Four other officers received minor injuries from debris as the teenager shot at them when they hid behind a woodpile. The officers have been treated and are OK, police said. A SWAT team once made it into the garage before turning back, and robots sent into the house were rebuffed by obstacles set up inside. Officers also shot tear gas inside but there was no response, and the teen did not respond to calls or to efforts to reach him through a PA system. "The only thing we've got out of the house is gunfire," said Knox County Chief Deputy Dwight VanDeVate. "We are still hopeful we get some positive outcome, but we have had absolutely no success whatsoever in establishing contact with the suspect." The shooting occurred about 8:30 a.m. as two Loudon County deputies answered a domestic call at the home. The sheriff's office had received a call from the boy's mother at a neighbor's house saying that she and her son had fought, Guider said. "Deputies answered the call not knowing there were any weapons in the house. Officer Scott was the first one to arrive and was shot as he stepped out of the car," Guider said. The second officer pulled up, saw his colleague's body, retreated as shots were fired and called for backup. Officers were able to remove the body of the slain officer, whose wife is expecting their first child. Through tears, Guider described Scott as "a wonderful young man, very lively, very friendly, very outgoing." Teen found dead after standoff Officer killed in confrontation CNN LENOIR CITY, Tennessee (AP) -- The teenage son of a prosecutor killed a sheriff's deputy and barricaded himself in his home before he was found dead inside Saturday with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot to the head, officials said. Michael Harvey, 16, was found in an upstairs bedroom of his lakeside home, said Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider. He said the teenager had been dead for up to 20 hours. Harvey fired on SWAT team officers Friday afternoon from the home, where he had semiautomatic weapons with multiple 30-round magazines. No shots were fired after that, authorities said. "As hard as we worked to make contact and as patient as we were, we were hoping for a different resolution," Guider said. Harvey's father, Frank Harvey, is an assistant district attorney for Loudon County. The confrontation started Friday morning when officers went to investigate a domestic violence complaint from the boy's mother, who had fled to a neighbor's house. She allegedly was attacked with a pipe when she refused to let the boy drive to school after drinking the night before. The first officer to arrive, Deputy Jason Scott, was fatally shot as he stepped out of his car, Guider said. He was shot four times, and a second officer retreated under fire and called for backup. "Deputies answered the call not knowing there were any weapons in the house," Guider said. A SWAT team once made it into the garage before turning back, and robots sent into the house were blocked by obstacles. Four officers suffered minor injuries from debris when the teenager shot at them as they hid behind a woodpile. Officers fired tear gas into the house but got no response, and the teen did not answer calls or efforts to contact him over loudspeakers. Some of Harvey's relatives went to the scene trying to coax him into coming out, a spokeswoman for the Loudon County sheriff's department said early Saturday. The boy's mother was treated at a local hospital and released. Scott, 24, was a three-year veteran of the department whose wife is expecting their first child. Through tears, Guider described him as "a wonderful young man, very lively, very friendly, very outgoing." Ed Sullivan, Harvey's youth minister at United Church of Christ Church of the Savior in Knoxville, told The Knoxville News Sentinel that the teen slit his wrists last fall and spent some time in Peninsula Hospital, a mental health facility. Still, Sullivan said he was shocked. "He's a quiet kid, a gentle kid," Sullivan said. Loudon Co. officer killed, suspect holed up in house Amelia Graham, Steve Gehlbach, Danielle Banks LOUDON CO. (WATE) -- Authorities say a heavily-armed teen is holed up in his home after shooting and killing a sheriff's deputy Friday morning. They say the boy also shot at other officers at the scene. Loudon County sheriff's deputy Jason Scott was pronounced dead at UT Medical Center after being airlifted by Lifestar helicopter. According to Knoxville city police spokesman Darrell DeBusk, four officers were shot at but not hit as they attempted to approach the house ["He waited until the SWAT team was within 20 yards of the front door, then he opened fire, and immediately ran to the back of the house and opened fire on the SWAT officers approaching the back door, driving them to retreat"]. The officers from Knox and Loudon Counties were hit by flying debris but not seriously wounded. The suspect is 16-year-old Michael Harvey, a junior at Lenoir City High School and the son of Roane County assistant district attorney Frank Harvey. According to Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison, Harvey has semi-automatic rifles, scope rifles and multiple rounds of ammunition in the home. The shooting occurred about 8:30 Friday morning at the Harvey home on Palmer Drive in the Shiloh Acres subdivision, just across the line from Knox and Blount Counties. Deputy Scott was called to the home on a domestic violence call. Authorities say Michael Harvey got into violent argument with his mother and attacked her with a pipe. She fled the home and called the sheriff's dept. from a neighbor's house. According to Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider, Deputy Scott arrived at the home on Palmer Drive near the Tennessee River unaware there were guns in the home [as if a district attorney prosecutor would NOT keep high-powered guns in his home for self defense from disgruntled gangsters, in a home police had apparently been called to before concerning acts of domestic violence]. Scott was apparently shot as soon as he exited his car. A second officer arrived seconds later and a third officer arrived seconds after that. The two also took fire before they backed away. Scott's body could not be retrieved before additional support was brought in. Police say they have responded to disturbances at the home before and have had problems with the teen. More than 100 officers involved Loudon, Blount, and Knox County officers, along with Knoxville, Lenoir City and Maryville city police and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, are on the scene. The teams involved include three SWAT teams, officers in two to three helicopters, and the Knox Co. mobile crime lab. Blount County Sheriff James Berrong told 6 News more than 100 officers are involved in the investigation and attempts to apprehend the suspect. They are being very cautious because they fear the teen has access to several guns in the home. "We know that he has shot one officer," said Knoxville city police spokesman Darrell DeBusk. "There is nothing there to say he wouldn't open up fire on someone else, so we have to take every precautions. He have some information on what type of guns he may have." Schools, neighborhood secured Lenoir City schools and Loudon County's Highland Park School were in a lockdown for part of the day as a precautionary measure. Highland Park School is seven miles from the crime scene, but officials didn't believe students and staff were in any danger. Extra officers were assigned to the schools. After school, special travel arrangements were made for children to allow them to get home safely. Residents of the Shiloh Acres subdivision were being asked to stay in their homes and the neighborhood was not being evacuated. Sheriff Guider: Officer was "wonderful young man" In a tearful press conference, Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider described deputy Jason Scott as a "wonderful young man," and "lively and outgoing." Guider said Scott's wife was expecting to deliver their first child soon. Scott was a Loudon County native and had been a member of the sheriff's department for three years. He is the first Loudon County officer who was killed in the line of duty. Officers trying to be patient for peaceful end Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison said officers on the scene have made several attempts to communicate with the suspect, but he has not responded to phone calls or pleas made over a bullhorn. After they were fired at in their attempts to approach the house, the officers fired tear gas into the home to make Harvey uncomfortable. At this point, they are willing to wait out the situation until it can be ended without any further loss of life, Hutchison said. "We want to end this thing as peacefully as we can." Officers wrap up investigation at crime scene By YVONNE NAVA LOUDON CO. (WATE) -- With the standoff between law enforcement officers and a 16-year-old boy over, investigators spent the day wrapping up the crime scene. Crime tape is still strung across the property were a Loudon County sheriff's deputy was shot dead as he exited his car, but that's about all that remains of two horrible days. The scene is quiet, calm and peaceful now. That's in sharp contrast to when Michael Harvey held nearly 150 officers at bay. Officials say the teen barricaded himself in the house with semiautomatic weapons, firing at officers if they attempted to approach the house. Deputy Jason Scott, the first officer to arrive at the scene following a 911 call from Harvey's mother, died when Harvey shot him with a high-powered weapon. [ officer killed ] "It's going to be a long hard process for all of us," said Loudon County Sheriff's Department Cpl. Dewayne Drinnen. "It's just a traumatic loss for us." Flowers lay at the Harvey family mailbox. Blount County investigators were there to help finish gathering evidence. Deputies showed where shattered glass and large bullet holes were left in police cruisers hit by Harvey's assault rifle. A bullet pierced through the window of one car into a metal clip board and through the seat. Deputies say it's department policy to always wear bulletproof vests. But in the case of their fallen friend, it wouldn't have helped Deputy Scott. "He was an excellent individual, a close personal friend of mine and the whole department," Drinnen said. "It's just tore everybody up." For at least the next two days, the Loudon County Sheriff's Department will be wearing black banners on their badges to honor Deputy Scott. They're also making temporary changes to their vehicles, placing black banners over the stars on the doors. Teenager pulled firearms from safe Information about guns in house incorrect, 911 tapes demonstrate By JIM BALLOCH Sixteen-year-old Michael Harvey broke into a safe at his father's house to obtain the guns he used to kill a police officer and hold SWAT teams at bay before ending his own life, Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider said Wednesday. The domestic dispute Friday was the second such call to the home in nine days. In both, the youth was involved in a violent dispute with one of his parents, Frank and Ann Harvey. Frank Harvey is an assistant district attorney general for Loudon County. Wednesday afternoon, the Loudon County Sheriff's Department released a preliminary report of the incident, a tape of police radio traffic and the call to 911 that led to the incident. The tapes reveal that information relayed to officers about guns in the house was inaccurate. It was relayed to them by a neighbor who was getting it from Ann Harvey, who suffered a head inury after being assaulted by her son only minutes earlier. It has not yet been determined exactly how the youth gained access to the safe in which the guns were stored, Guider said. "It had not been not pried open," Guider said. He said the safe does not open with either keys or a combination lock, but by some other means at the base of the safe. He said that "the carpet around the base of the safe was ripped back." Guider said there were six firearms in the house, and that three of them were still inside the safe when SWAT officers entered the home Saturday and found Michael Harvey dead of a gunshot wound to the head. Information relayed to officers responding to the domestic disturbance call were told first that no guns or knives were there, and then that a single handgun in the house had a trigger lock on it. But when Loudon County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Scott stepped from his car at the Harvey residence, he was hit four times with a .30-caliber semi-automatic SKS rifle. A 28-hour standoff ensued that included an exchange of gunfire. Some officers close to the house said they heard what sounded like a gun being reloaded. A SWAT team entered the house about 12:30 p.m. Saturday and found the youth dead in an upstairs bedroom. "The speculation is that (Michael had shot himself) sometime between noon and 3 p.m. on Friday," Guider said. Besides the rifle with which Scott was killed, guns found out of the safe included a 9mm handgun, with which the youth is believed to have shot himself, and a shotgun, which apparently had been fired twice. On March 3, deputies were sent to the Harvey home on a complaint from Frank Harvey that he had been bitten on the arm by his son. Friday morning, Michael Harvey struck his mother with a metal fence post, Guider said. Frank Harvey was not at home. Harvey, bleeding from a head injury, went to the home of a neighbor, who called 911 for her and reported the attack. A dispatcher says to the neighbor that officers and an ambulance will be sent, then asks: "Do we know if he's armed or has weapons?" "No, un-uh," the caller answers. A moment later, the dispatcher asks, "Do you know if there are any other weapons besides the fence post?" "Ann, are there any guns up at your house?" the neighbor asks Ann Harvey. "Any knives, anything?" the dispatcher asks. The neighbor's response is not clear on the tape. But a moment later, the dispatcher radios to officers: "no other weapons that they're aware of, other than the fence post." The neighbor then tells the dispatcher, "She says they've got a gun up there but it's got a gun lock on it." The dispatcher then advises officers that there is a gun on the premises but that Ann Harvey is not sure if the youth can get to it or not. Deputies were dispatched to the Harvey residence first to prevent the teenager from going to the neighbor's house and resuming the assault there. Scott arrived first. Two backup officers arrived seconds later at 8:29 a.m. "and saw Deputy Scott on the ground," according to a Loudon County Sheriff's Department report. "Because of repeated gunfire directed at them, the backup officers had to retreat." The police radio transmissions and telephone conversations that came after the discovery that Scott had been shot include urgent requests for assistance, anguished frustration at being unable to reach their fallen comrade and warnings of how dangerous the situation was. "We got an officer down, shots fired, 10-82, 10-82." Moments later: "Yeah, we've got an officer shot we can't even get to him." And later: "I never got up to the house. I was taking fire from probably 55 yards away." "Be careful coming up the driveway well, don't come up the driveway." "Jason's been shot." "We can't get to Jason. They can't get to him " "They're not able to get to him God, everybody's up here far as I know they still can't get to him " A dispatcher says, " ah, I'm so scared, I'm so worried one of my boys (is) down." A dispatcher again: "No, we still don't have him, he's still down." It was nearly an hour before officers could reach Scott, at around 9:23 a.m., and get him to a nearby golf course. From there a Lifestar medical helicopter took him to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. About three hours after Scott was reached, and with the house surrounded, police sent a robot inside the house, an action that was met "by aggression from the assailant toward the officers inside the perimeter," the sheriff's report states. "Gunfire was exchanged for approximately 30 seconds," the report states. "There was no more gunfire past this point." Jim Balloch may be reached at 865-342-6315.

'There is just a lot of sadness' End of the standoff: 16-year-old found dead with gunshot wound to head By KEN GARLAND, JIM BALLOCH AND DON JACOBS LENOIR CITY - A prosecutor's 16-year-old son, wanted for the murder of a Loudon County deputy sheriff, apparently shot himself to death before a SWAT team could storm his barricaded home, law enforcement officials said Saturday. "We entered the home and found the body of Michael Harvey," Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider announced Saturday afternoon. "We were hoping for a different resolution." The slain officer, Jason Scott, 24, had been with the Loudon County Sheriff's Department for three years. His wife, Joni Scott, is nine months expectant with their first child, a girl to be named Jayden Nicole Scott. The officer's service will be at 7 p.m. today at New Macedonia Baptist Church [895 Seed Tick Rd, Philadelphia TN 37846, 865/458-5021 (giant 14,000-square-foot church auditorium in tiny unincorporated hamlet was built by arson-prone/fraud-prone Arab Raja Jubran's Denark Construction, the billion-dollar Republican-Party contractor for Knoxville government and Scripps-Howard media cartel who nearly murdered this webmaster's wife in an "accidental-by-arson" Towering Inferno in Denark's "Fowler Building" - "Non-profit" 501c3 corporations like churches are licensed by IRS as official money-laundering enterpises) on WBIR TV and WATE TV the church sign declared "New Masonic Baptist Church" which is NOT the church the police officer was a member of] . There will be a graveside service Monday at 1 p.m. at New Macedonia Cemetery ["New Masonic Cemetary" just like First Baptist Church of Madisonville, Tennessee holds Masonic funerals inside its church and buries its members in Freemason-only cemetary?] . With the standoff over and the initial shock of the young officer's death wearing off, a deep grief is setting in throughout Loudon County. "We've got a lot of grieving men and women," Guider said. "Right now, there is just a lot of sadness and grief." Officers entered the barricaded Palmer Drive house around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Guider said. It is the home of the boy's parents, Frank and Ann Harvey. Frank Harvey is the 9th District Assistant attorney general for Loudon County. Michael Harvey had been barricaded inside since around 8:30 a.m. Friday, when Scott was shot. Ed Sullivan, youth minister at Church of the Savior United Church of Christ, where the Harvey family worships, said that several Loudon County deputies, despite the loss of their fellow officer, were hugging the distraught Frank Harvey, who cooperated with law enforcement officers in efforts to get his son to surrender peacefully. Sullivan, who said he had known Michael Harvey for about three years, said the church will be "praying for him and the family of the officer who was killed." "I love this kid," Sullivan said. "I've watched him grow up. I don't know what could have possibly set him off." Friday morning, Ann Harvey called 911 from a neighbor's house and said she had been assaulted by her son. Scott was the first of three officers to arrive - in separate cars several seconds apart - at around 8:30. As he stepped from his car, he was shot four times with a high-powered rifle, apparently a semi-automatic assault style rifle such as an SKS or AK47, officers said. Guider said that because the investigation is continuing, he cannot discuss the exact weapons used or say if it was the same one with which the youth is believed to have killed himself. According to an official of the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Michael Harvey had been drinking on Thursday night, and is alleged to have assaulted his mother Friday morning when she refused to let him drive himself to school. The officers who went to the Harvey home were unaware that it contained numerous firearms and a quantity of ammunition. Saturday it was not clear why that information was not known to them. After Scott was shot, well over 100 law enforcement officers from numerous area departments arrived. Several SWAT teams, often moving in rotation, surrounded the waterfront home. River traffic on Fort Loudoun Lake in the vicinity of the neighborhood was halted. Neighbors said several series of gunshots were heard several times during the day. The youth refused to respond to repeated attempts to contact him. "After many hours of not hearing from him, today we took a chance and had canine teams enter the garage," Guider said. The officers also relied on cameras and mirrors to help them negotiate through the house, "room by room," Guider said. "We were not going to take another chance to risk another life," he said. The youth was found in an upstairs bedroom, dead of a single gunshot wound to the head. Guider said he the youth may have committed suicide approximately 18 to 20 hours before he was found. "I believe, and I feel like the Harvey family believes, that we did all we could to bring their son out alive," Guider said. "But we've got a murder to solve, and (Michael) Harvey basically solved it." Guider said he last believed Harvey was alive about 2 p.m. Friday. Deputies had heard nothing from the home even though they fired tear gas and exploded "flash bang" grenades near the home in an attempt to draw him out. Authorities also tried to get the youth to talk by calling to him through loud speakers. They had electricity and telephone service to the home cut off and were trying to contact him by cell phone and with loud speakers, they said. The area was cordoned off, and many residents trying to return to their homes were turned away. Just before nightfall, deputies and firefighters hauled trailers carrying electric generators and industrial spotlights to residence. The lights were placed around the house, illuminating a Loudon County Sheriff's Office cruiser parked in the driveway, a white SUV, and an overturned table and trashcan in front of the open door of the two-car garage. At a briefing Saturday morning, Guider said, officers reported they had observed no movement in the house during the night. He said officers called to the youngster about every 30 minutes to an hour attempting to get him to negotiate. Each time, he said they heard nothing. At 4:30 a.m., the sheriff said deputies let a family member attempt to get him to negotiate. That also met with failure. About 7:20 a.m., officers fired tear gas into the house, but there was no response. The sheriff said the youngster might have had some SCUBA equipment in the house which he could have used as breathing equipment. At 9 a.m., the officers ignited "flash bangs," which are small grenades that create a loud noise, and again saw no movement. The sheriff thanked everyone who came to help in the situation. He said officers from as far west as Wilson County near Lebanon came to his office. All local departments send officers to assist his officers, he said. The family will receive friends today at New Macedonia Baptist Church [on TV the church sign declared "New Masonic Baptist Church", 865/458-5021] from 3 until the 7 p.m. service. On Monday, family and friends will meet at the Loudon Funeral Home at noon for a funeral procession to New Macedonia Cemetery for a 1 p.m. graveside service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the fund set up at Community Bank of Loudon County P.O. Box 510 Loudon, TN. 37774 for daughter, Jayden Nicole.

'We just have to pray for all the families' Congregation seeks peace for Harvey, Scott families By ERICKA MELLON Rev. John Bluth Gill on Sunday talked about agape, a Greek word for love. "It is an overpowering love, which seeks nothing in return," said Gill, the pastor of Church of the Savior, United Church of Christ in Knoxville. The 150 or so congregants at the white-walled church this morning desperately needed love. They came to pray for the Harvey family of Loudon County, who were longtime members of the church. Michael Harvey, the 16-year-old son of Frank and Ann, apparently killed himself on Saturday afternoon after shooting dead a Loudon County sheriff's deputy on Friday morning, according to Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider. The congregants also prayed for the slain officer, 24-year-old Jason Scott, who leaves behind a pregnant wife. Gill, who spent most of the past two days near the Palmer Drive house where Michael Harvey was holed up, praised law enforcement officers for supporting the Harvey family. "In all of our prayers, we should remember the family of Jason Scott and the church ... where they were members," Gill said, his voice cracking. "Officer after officer sought out Frank, hugged him, told him that they loved him. It was that agape I was talking about. They loved him unconditionally." Gill also expressed his love for the Harvey family, who he said were "deeply involved in the life of our church for many years." Michael Harvey went on a mission trip to Mexico this past year, and he participated in service activities and the church youth group, Gill said. Ed Sullivan, youth minister at the church, and a couple of Harvey's friends have said the teenager battled depression and spent time in Peninsula Hospital, which provides inpatient mental health care. Gill praised the parenting skills of Frank Harvey, an assistant attorney general for Loudon County, and Ann, the former executive director of the United Way of Loudon County. "The other thing I want you to know is that the Harvey family were as responsive and attentive to this sudden occurrence in Michael's life as any family I've ever seen," Gill said. "They sought care for him, counseling for him. They disciplined him. And they gave him space or tried to give him space when he needed it." Noting the national media attention the case has received, Gill warned congregants to be wary of rumors, "particularly about the amount of weapons and weaponry that were involved." Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison told reporters on Friday that Michael Harvey "has about as much [weaponry] inside the house as we have outside the house." Gill did not say when a service for Michael Harvey would be held. In the meantime, congregants such as Mary Thom Adams of Knoxville are trying to cope with the loss of two lives cut short. "We just have to pray for all the families involved," she said. Ericka Mellon may be reached at 865-342-6334. Funeral arrangements made, fund set up for slain officer WATE TV LENOIR CITY (WATE) -- Loudon County deputy Jason Scott, the officer shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call, leaves behind a wife and unborn child. Scott's wife is just days away from giving birth. Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider says in the past the couple struggled to have a successful pregnancy. This last attempt had them looking forward to their miracle baby. "They had had a couple of hard times having a child," Guider said tearfully. "They had lost one. This one was full term. They were going to allow it to be born whenever." Scott and his wife had already picked out a name for their daughter, Jayden Nicole. Deputy Scott was a Loudon County native and a three year veteran with the sheriff's department. Funeral arrangements for Scott are finalized. The family will receive friends Sunday afternoon from 3:00 until 7:00 p.m. at New Macedonia Church on the Loudon/Monroe County line. The funeral will follow at 7:00. A graveside service will be held Monday at 1:00 p.m. at New Macedonia Cemetary ["New Masonic Cemetary"]. The Scott family has set up memorial fund accounts at two Community Bank of Loudon County locations.

(WATE) -- Just two days after his death, family and friends said goodbye to Deputy Jason Scott, the officer killed in the line of duty Friday morning. [ officer killed ] Scott's funeral was Sunday night at New Macedonia Church. People lined up one by one to pay their last respects to the slain officer. Among a crowd of hundreds there to pay their last respects were officers from several different police and sheriff departments around the region. All consider themselves a part of the same brotherhood. "Anytime you lose an officer, it's sad," said McMinn County Sheriff Steve Frisbie. "It is one of our own. We feel for everybody. Our prayers go out to the family, just everyone involved." News of the deputy's death at the age of 24 drew mourners from all across East Tennessee. Rep. Jimmy Duncan (R-Knoxville) said he felt obligated to pay his respects to the family. "This is a tragedy that has, I think, touched everybody in this area," Duncan said. "It is one of the worst things that's happened. All the way around, every way that you look at it. And so I came down just to express my condolences." Many of the mourners were friends, extended family and neighbors of the Scott family. "He's just got enough love for everybody," said Jo Anne Arden, Scott's second cousin. "I was so glad to hear they were going to have their first baby and it's just sad. It is heartbreaking. But this makes me know he had a lot of friends." "I feel sorry for the family of the boy too," Arden added. "I sure will be praying for him too." Family and friends will meet at the Loudon Funeral Home Monday at noon for the funeral procession.

Michael Harvey's death: Friends recall teenager who was 'good person that just snapped' By ERICKA MELLON, [email protected] LENOIR CITY - Rose Taylor, a senior at Lenoir City High School, had not eaten in more than 24 hours. The bespectacled teenager had had a weak stomach since learning her good friend 16-year-old Michael Harvey was believed to have fatally shot a Loudon County sheriff's deputy and would not come out of his house. Early Saturday afternoon, she and two friends gathered on a grassy hill, outside the plush Cabot Ridge subdivision, just down the street from the Palmer Drive residence where Harvey was holed up. They came for answers. They left in tears. Around 3 p.m., Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider stood on the same hill and announced that Harvey, a junior at Lenoir City High School, had been found dead, with a gunshot wound to the head, inside the house. "Oh, God," Taylor said she thought. "I kind of expected it, but I didn't want it." After Guider spoke, Taylor and her friends, Ciara Hargis and Quinn Fine, exited the media-drenched area and went to O'Charley's for lunch. Like the rest of Loudon County, they tried to cope with the tragedy of two young lives lost. Deputy Jason Scott was 24. And they tried to make sense of what led the Michael Harvey they knew - a good friend who had battled with depression but had a good sense of humor - to this end. "Repressed emotions, that would be my best guess," Taylor said. "He would tell you he was ticked off about something, but he wouldn't talk about it. "If you don't have a way to release your emotions, you eventually just crack." Hargis said Harvey had spent some time at Peninsula Hospital, which offers inpatient mental health care. "I knew he had some problems with depression, and that's normal enough. But he was in Peninsula for a little while," Hargis said. Dwight Van de Vate, chief deputy for the Knox County Sheriff's Office, said Friday that Harvey "apparently had been drinking (Thursday) night." Harvey's assistant manager at Little Joe's Pizza in Farragut said he left the restaurant around 10 p.m. and told him he planned to rent a movie and watch it. Taylor and Hargis said they did not hang out with Harvey on Thursday night, but they heard "he was drinking a bit, a little bit," Taylor said. Both teens said Harvey did drink alcohol, but they had no reason to worry about it. He was an intelligent teenager who loved movies, music and video games, they said. "It wasn't a serious thing," Taylor said of his drinking. "He didn't drink very much. He drank like most high-schoolers drink." "For him, it was a game," she added. "He kind of used life as a game. I don't know if that was a way for him to cope with things. He didn't take very much seriously." Charlie Sharp, who moved into Cabot Ridge in November, also waited on the hill Saturday afternoon for news. Like Taylor, he expected officers would find Harvey dead. "Of course, you hope the person comes out alive, but this sheriff has shown great restraint. They're to be commended," Sharp said. "As bad as it sounds, the life of a 16-year-old is not worth the life of another police officer," he added. Scott Parker, 44, spent part of Saturday afternoon doing construction work on a house in the Hidden Cove subdivision about a mile from the Harvey residence. Both homes overlook Fort Loudoun Lake, which couldn't help but sparkle under the weekend sun. Lamenting the shooting death of deputy Scott, Parker reminisced about days past, when guns didn't seem to cause so much harm. "Times have changed so much," Parker said. "I graduated from high school in 1977. I'd go squirrel hunting some days before school. I'd carry a shotgun and leave it in the backseat of the car sitting in the school parking lot. It's just, times have changed. And it's a sad change." At Little Joe's, co-workers cried and hugged each other outside the restaurant after hearing Harvey was gone. "I don't even think it's really sunk in yet," said Chris Inklebarger, 20, who was working at the restaurant during his spring break from the University of Georgia. "I want people to know that he was a good person that just snapped one day. He wasn't a bad guy." Wayne Miller, the superintendent of Lenoir City Schools, said Harvey had no discipline problems in school. "This was the kid next door," Miller said. "He was reasonably quiet and reasonably polite, just your average high school student." Miller also spoke highly of Harvey's parents. His father, Frank, is an assistant district attorney for Loudon County. His mother, Ann, was formerly the executive director of United Way of Loudon County. "They're wonderful people. They're caring and compassionate," he said. "I can only imagine the trauma they feel." Lenoir City High School will have the school's two psychologists available to talk to students on Monday. "I just want to emphasize that if young people feel the stress or pressure to succeed, there's absolutely staff members to help them through," Miller said. "Don't be ashamed to step forward." Taylor and Hargis said they plan to wear black bands around their arms to honor their friend at school. "He's our fallen comrade," Taylor said. Ericka Mellon may be reached at 865-342-6334. AUTOPSY RESULTS RELEASED FOR TEEN WHO KILLED LOUDON DEPUTY WBIR TV A new report from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation shows that the teenager who fatally shot a Loudon County deputy, then killed himself, may not have been taking the medication he had been prescribed for symptoms of mental illness. Deputy Jason Scott was shot by Michael Harvey as he got out of his patrol car on March 12, 2004. He had been dispatched to the Harvey family's Loudon County home to answer a domestic violence call. Other officers were held at bay by gunfire from the home. When police went in 28 hours later, they found the boy dead. Investigators say it appeared Harvey shot himself the same day Scott died. Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider says the toxicology study on Michael Harvey did not reveal the presence of any alcohol or illegal drugs. What it did reveal is that it is unlikely that the 16-year-old was taking Zoloft, the anti-depressant medication that had been prescribed for him after a recent suicide attempt. Guider says 'only' a small amount of Zoloft was in the boy's system, indicating he may have quit taking the drug [which is proof he suffered from Withdrawal Syndrome and possibly depression, with suicidal and homicidal tendencies]. "Now we have our own little Columbine" Venable: No way this ever adds up By SAM VENABLE, [email protected] Now we have our own little Columbine. There has been tragedy in East Tennessee before, and there will be tragedy again. Part of life is the potential for sudden and violent death. But the senseless shooting - has there ever been a sensible one? - that occurred Friday in Loudon County ranks right up there with the horrors of April 1999 in Littleton, Colo., in terms of savage abruptness, not to mention its involvement with an angry teenager. "You can't make sense out of something like this," says the Rev. George Doebler. "If you tried to reason with it, you'd go nuts." Doebler sees the raw side of life on a daily basis. As director of pastoral care and counseling at University of Tennessee Medical Center, he stands on center stage in a never-ending performance of human drama. Not just him, either. Doebler oversees the duties of six staff chaplains, six full-time residents and four interns, all ordained ministers. They work in an emotional environment few of us could imagine. They hug. They touch. They help the grief pour out. They attempt to be the non-reactive, yet supportive, human presence of God and all His mercy. On Friday, Doebler was among many clergy ministering to the family of Loudon County deputy Jason Scott, fatally shot in the line of duty. One day earlier, he served the same role for the family of a four-day-old baby who suffocated. Tomorrow will bring another crisis. "Yes, of course," he replied to my question. "Sometimes, you go back to your office and melt down in tears." Fortunately - I can't help but wince as I type that word and reflect on its apparent mockery - deputy Scott's family is supported by a large, loving network built on strong faith. Such is not always the case. Doebler had high praise for the Rev. Gerald Lynn of New Macedonia Baptist Church in Philadelphia, whose flock gathered 'round him the moment he arrived at the hospital. Lynn is a "bi-vocational" minister. Forty hours a week, he drives a truck for Craighead Limestone. The rest of the time he serves his church. He came to the medical center in boots and jeans. Stands to reason. There was a carpenter's son 2,000 years ago who also did his best work in dusty clothes. "I have very accommodating bosses," Lynn told me via telephone near midnight Friday, weary from the torturous day yet most accommodating to my repeated requests for 'just one more' question. "They give me total liberty to see to my people." Lynn knows Jason and Joanie Scott well. He assisted in their wedding four years ago. He has shared in the joy of their first child, due any day. Lynn also refuses to attempt to square this tragic event in terms of human logic. He figures there's a higher power with the answer. "God is in all of our lives," he said. "He is there regardless of the situation." Lynn cited a passage from Romans: "All things work together for good to them that love the Lord." Then he added, "We don't understand, but He does." Amen, brother. Sam Venable's column appears on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. He may be reached at 865-342-6272 or [email protected].

NEW GUN DETAILS EMERGE IN LOUDON TRAGEDY Suspcious propaganda effort to ban low-powered SKS just like in California Reporter: Raquel Dunn According to Loudon County Sheriff, Tim Guider, there were six guns inside the Palmer Road home in which 16 year-old Michael Harvey holed up after allegedly gunning down a Loudon County Sheriff's Deputy. Only three of the guns were locked in a safe. It is unclear at this time where the others were stored. Speaking from the scene of the Loudon County standoff last Friday, Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison told assembled reporters who asked about Harvey's access to weapons and ammunition that the suspect was believed to have, "as much inside the house as we have outside." At the time, more than one-hundred law enforcement officers, including a SWAT team were surrounding the Harvey home. Police now say that Michael Harvey fired a nine millimeter handgun, a shotgun, and and an SKS military-style, semi-automatic assault rifle in the standoff with more than one hundred law enforcement officers who surrounded the house after Deputy Jason Scott was shot and killed. According to local gun experts interviewed by Action 10 News, all three of these weapons are legal and commonly used in this area of the country for sport shooting, hunting, and home protection. They say gun owners consider the SKS a reliable and affordable weapon. "It was used by the Iron Curtain, Russia and China," explains Bob Wiest, a local firearms instructor, adding that some Vietnam veterans brought the guns home after the war as "trophies." As authorities continue to investigate the details of last week's murder/suicide, Loudon County Sheriff's Department personnel struggle to come to terms with the murder of their fellow officer. One way they are coping is by honoring the late Deputy Scott. Another Loudon officer has designed decals bearing Deputy Scott's badge number and the decals are being placed on the exterior of Loudon police cruisers. On Friday, all Loudon County officers will begin mandatory debriefing and grief counseling sessions. See Also: Thousands collected for family of slain Loudon Co. deputy By AMELIA GRAHAM LOUDON COUNTY (WATE) -- People in Loudon County are still grieving the shooting death of Deputy Jason Scott on March 12th. And they're donating thousands of dollars to memorial funds. On Wednesday morning, WIVK sponsored a donation drive at the Loudon County Wal-mart. "I had been trying to keep up with what was going on with the donations and I just wanted to help," Linda Vittatoe said. She's connected to the Scott family, as so many people are in the tight-knit community. "My daughter had went to school with both of them, Jamie and Jason. So it hurt really bad because it felt like it was a part of the family." Deputy Ken Shockley shares Vittatoe's sentiment. He worked the courts with Deputy Scott. "In fact, I was going to work for him this week because he thought he was going to be off so his wife could have her baby." Shockley said he has no doubt the money donated Wednesday will be put to good use. "I'd say with the child coming and so forth, it's going to mean an awful lot to them. They had just built a new house and I'm sure Joni...well, that would help her pay on the house and so forth." Fives, tens and twenties filled the baskets. And no one seemed surprised. "Loudon County people, they all stick together," Shockley said. "We've had children that have come by and given donations." Shockley said everyone realizes what a tough job lies ahead for Scott's widow. "We stood there at the casket, just at the final time before they were going to lower Jason, and she stood there with two roses in her hand. She just laid one on the casket and held one hand on her stomach. She cried, 'Jason, you're never going to see this baby.' And then she laid the other one down and said that she'd see him later." In four hours Wednesday, more than $30,000 was collected for the Scott memorial funds. The family of Michael Harvey, the teen involved in the standoff, asks that instead of flowers, donations be sent to the Scott funds. |
Air Force Commander Accuses President Bush for September 11th Attacks Lt. Colonel relieved of command for testifying against president September 10 2003 A US Air Force officer in California recently accused President Bush of deliberately allowing the September 11 terror attacks to take place. The officer has been relieved of his command and faces further discipline. The controversy surrounding Lt. Col. Steve Butler's letter to the editor, in which he affirmed that Bush did nothing to warn the American people because he "needed this war on terrorism," received scant coverage in the media. Universally ignored by the press, however, was that the officer was not merely expressing a personal opinion. He was in a position to have direct knowledge of contacts between the US military and some of the hijackers in the period before the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon. Lieutenant Colonel Butler, who wrote in a letter to the editor of the Monterey County Herald charging that "Bush knew about the impending attacks," was vice chancellor for student affairs at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California " a US military facility that one or more of the hijackers reportedly attended during the 1990s. In his May 26 letter to the newspaper, Butler responded to Bush supporters, who had written the paper opposing the congressional investigation into the September 11 events. He wrote: "Of course President Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama. His presidency was going nowhere. He wasn't elected by the American people, but placed in the Oval Office by a conservative supreme court. The economy was sliding into the usual Republican pits and he needed something on which to hang his presidency.... This guy is a joke. What is sleazy and contemptible is the President of the United States not telling the American people what he knows for political gain." The letter provoked immediate retaliation against the 24-year Air Force veteran. Butler was transferred from the Monterey installation and threatened with court martial under Article 88 of the military code, which prohibits officers from publicly using "contemptuous words" against the president and other officials. Last week the Air Force announced it had concluded its investigation of the case and suggested Butler would likely face "nonjudicial punishment," such as a fine or a letter of reprimand, rather than a stiffer sentence. If he refuses this punishment, however, Butler, who is ready to retire, could still face a court martial. The issue is a particularly sensitive one for the Pentagon and the Bush administration. While many people believe that the Bush administration viewed September 11 as a priceless opportunity to implement an ultra-reactionary program of militarism and repression, Butler is different. His military assignment brought him into contact with at least one of the alleged hijackers. Shortly after September 11, several US news outlets reported that Saeed Alghamdi,named as taking part in the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in western Pennsylvania,had taken courses at the Defense Language Institute, the US military's primary foreign language facility, where Butler was a leading officer overseeing students (essentially, dean of students). Alghamdi, a 41-year-old Saudi national, was one of several alleged hijackers, including accused ringleader Mohamed Atta, who reportedly trained at US military facilities, according to a series of articles published between September 15 and 17 in the Washington Post, Newsweek magazine, the New York Times and several other newspapers. On September 15, Newsweek reported: "U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes used in Tuesday's terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s." The magazine said that Saeed Alghamdi was among three who had taken flight training at the Navy Air Station in Pensacola, Florida,known as the "cradle of US Navy aviation",which also administers training of foreign aviation students for the Navy. The magazine, citing "a high-ranking Pentagon official" as its source, reported that two others,both former Saudi air force pilots who had come to the US,also attended such facilities. One received tactical training at the Air War College in Montgomery, Alabama and the other language training at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Over the next few days, more detailed information appeared in several other newspapers. A September 16 article in the New York Times reported: "Three of the men identified as the hijackers in the attacks on Tuesday have the same names as alumni of American military schools, the authorities said today. The men were identified as Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz al-Omari and Saeed al-Ghamdi. "The Defense Department said Mr. Atta had gone to the International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama; Mr. al-Omari to the Aerospace Medical School at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas; and Mr. al-Ghamdi to the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio in Monterey, Calif." The Knight Ridder news service also reported that Saeed Alghamdi had been to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey and the Associated Press cited Air Force sources indicating that more than one of the hijackers may have received language training at the installation. The media dropped the story after the Air Force officials issued a cursory statement aimed at preventing any further inquiry into links between the US military and the terrorists. While acknowledging that some of the suspected terrorists "had similar names to foreign alumni of U.S. military courses," the statement said discrepancies in biographical information, such as birth dates and name spellings, "indicate we are probably not talking about the same people." Without providing any substantiation, the statement suggested the hijackers may have stolen the identities of foreign military personnel who received training at the bases. Following this less than convincing explanation, the Air Force refused to release the ages, countries of origin or any other information about the individuals whose names matched those of the alleged hijackers,making it virtually impossible to verify the claim that these were not the same individuals. Attorney General John Ashcroft and the FBI also refused to make public any information. Asked by Florida Senator Bill Nelson whether any of the hijackers were trained at the Pensacola base, the Justice Department refused to give a definitive answer, and the FBI said it could not respond until it could "sort through something complicated and difficult," according to the senator's representative. To receive such training, the hijackers would have had connections to Arab governments that enjoyed close relations with the US government. A former Navy pilot at the Pensacola air station told Newsweek that during his years on the base, "We always, always, always trained other countries' pilots. When I was there two decades ago, it was Iranians. The Shah was in power. Whoever the country du jour is, that's whose pilots we train." Military officials acknowledged that the US has a longstanding agreement with Saudi Arabia to train pilots for the kingdom's national guard. Candidates receive air combat training and other courses on several Army and Navy bases, in a program paid for by Saudi Arabia. Significantly 15 of the 19 hijackers were believed to be Saudi nationals. According to its web site, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey,founded in 1946 as the Military Intelligence Service Language School,"provides foreign language services to Department of Defense, government agencies and foreign governments" to support "national security interests and global operational needs." As vice chancellor for student affairs, Butler had extensive contact with students, according to Pete Randazzo, a close associate of the officer and president of the National Association of Government Employees Local 1690, which represents civilian employees at the language school. "He would go and have lunch with the students, sit in their classrooms. He was a very caring officer over there," Randazzo told the Herald. Butler was also navigator of a B-52 bomber during the Persian Gulf War, which made it likely he was familiar with Saudi military operations, given the close relations between the US and Saudi Arabia during the 1990-91 war against Iraq. In the 1990s, several officers were disciplined under Article 88 of the military code for publicly denouncing Clinton, including an Air Force general who went so far as to ridicule the president as a "gay-loving, pot-smoking, draft-dodging womanizer" in front of 250 people at an awards banquet. With Butler's comments, however, the Pentagon faces a more delicate problem. The Lieutenant Colonel may well know considerably more than he is saying about US military-intelligence apparatus involvement in the September 11 events, and, on the eve of his retirement, took the opportunity to set the record straight.

September 11 - US Government accused US Air Force, commercial and civilian pilots hold 72-hour independent inquiry in Washington DC FRONT PAGE STORY A Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented THE NEWS with version of the September 11th attacks that has to date failed to attract the attention of the international press. The report, compiled by an independent inquiry into the September 11th, World Trade Centre attack, warns the American public that the government's official version of events does not stand up to scrutiny. A group of military and civilian US pilots, under the chairmanship of Colonel Donn de Grand, after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours, has concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft. In a detailed press communiqu� the inquiry stated: "The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation carried out against the USA, requiring the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets." The report seriously questions whether or not the suspect hijackers, supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft, could have located a target dead-on 200 miles from take off point. It further throws into doubt their ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR) in the 45 minutes from take off to the point of impact. Colonel de Grand said that it would be impossible for novices to have taken control of the four aircraft and orchestrated such a terrible act requiring military precision of the highest order. A member of the inquiry team, a US Air Force officer who flew over 100 sorties during the Vietnam war, told the press conference: "Those birds (commercial airliners) either had a crack fighter pilot in the left seat, or they were being manoeuvred by remote control." In evidence given to the enquiry, Captain Kent Hill (retd.) of the US Air Force, and friend of Chic Burlingame, the pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, stated that the US had on several occasions flown an unmanned aircraft, similar in size to a Boeing 737, across the Pacific from Edwards Air Force base in California to South Australia. According to Hill it had flown on a pre programmed flight path under the control of a pilot in an outside station. Hill also quoted Bob Ayling, former British Airways boss, in an interview given to the London Economist on September 20th, 2001. Ayling admitted that it was now possible to control an aircraft in flight from either the ground or in the air. This was confirmed by expert witnesses at the inquiry who testified that airliners could be controlled by electro-magnetic pulse or radio frequency instrumentation from command and control platforms based either in the air or at ground level. All members of the inquiry team agreed that even if guns were held to their heads none of them would fly a plane into a building. Their reaction would be to ditch the plane into a river or a field, thereby safeguarding the lives of those on the ground. A further question raised by the inquiry was why none of the pilots concerned had alerted ground control. It stated that all pilots are trained to punch a four-digit code into the flight control's transponder to warn ground control crews of a hijacking - but this did not happen. During the press conference Captain Hill maintained that the four airliners must have been choreographed by an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). This system can engage several aircraft simultaneously by knocking out their on-board flight controls. He said that all the evidence points to the fact that the pilots and their crews had not taken any evasive action to resist the supposed hijackers. They had not attempted any sudden changes in flight path or nose-dive procedures - which led him to believe that they had no control over their aircraft. THE NEWS, in an attempt to further substantiate the potential veracity of these findings, spoke to an Algarve-based airline pilot, who has more than 20 years of experience in flying passenger planes, to seek his views. Captain Colin McHattie, currently flying with Cathay Pacific, agreed with the independent commission's findings. However, he explained that while it is possible to fly a plane from the ground, the installation of the necessary equipment is a time-consuming process, and needs extensive planning. THE NEWS will publish a full interview with Captain McHattie in next week's edition. The FBI also came in for criticism for the various pieces of contradictory evidence it has published regarding the suspects. Questions are now being asked as to how incorrect information was given out regarding the ID cards of the suspects, and the seat numbers they supposedly occupied after boarding the flights. None of the suspects named by the FBI appeared on any of the official passenger lists. A further point was how the FBI had managed to retrieve the passport of one of the suspects amid the molten and twisted remains of thousands of tons of steel and rubble brought about by the Twin Towers collapse. Dr. Paul Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury, and presently Senior Research Fellow at Stamford University, has lent his support to the independent inquiry findings. He also claims that Osama Bin Laden was not responsible for September 11th. The doctor has challenged President Bush to make public the so-called "irrefutable evidence" incriminating Bin Laden. Colonel Donn de Grand-Pre said that if President Bush is lying it would not be the first time that the American people had been mislead by its government. He cited the recently published official government archives describing President Roosevelt's duplicity in deceiving Americans about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, which triggered the US entry into WWll. He also highlighted the role of the country's government in misleading its citizens in respect of the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, and the events that brought about the Spanish American war in the late 19th, century. "Whilst considering who committed this act of war on September 11th," he said, "albeit Russia, China, an Islamic country or NATO, we must also consider that the enemy may well be within the gates. "Not for the first time the American public might be being mislead, by those with ulterior motives, into lending its support to a war, this time against Iraq, that has no bearing whatsoever on the interests of the people of the USA." So far the mainstream American news media has failed to publish or broadcast any details regarding the independent inquiry. Similarly, the White House, whilst having received a copy of the report, has remained silent on its findings. See Also: Contact Info:
Repentant Pentagon arms dealer reveals disgruntled U.S. military on the verge of revolt By John Kaminski Back in May 2003, a journalist in Portugal reported on a sensational, marathon meeting of a group of U.S. pilots that issued a report concluding that the story told by the U.S. government about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001 was improbable and unlikely. Except for several notices on the Internet, that story was basically never reported in the U.S., and largely debunked when the reporter flubbed the name of the organizer, creating disbelief in the minds of many readers. The record was corrected in stunning fashion Feb. 25 on Alex Jones' Infowars radio program when former Pentagon arms salesman Donn de Grand-Pre, author of three books that allege 9/11 was an inside job, set the record straight, because he was the man who organized that conference. That 72-hour non-stop symposium by a group of military and civilian pilots concluded the flight crews of the four passenger airliners involved in the 9/11 tragedy had no control over their aircraft. de Grand-Pre, a retired Army colonel, is the author of "A Window on America," "Confessions of an Arms Peddler" and his latest, "Barbarians Inside the Gates." His thesis in the third book "is that the wars we have engaged in for whatever reasons since the end of World War II have not only been unconstitutionally waged, but have caused a net loss in political power. Each war was waged to divert our attention away from the true enemy within, and toward a contrived enemy outside our borders." de Grand-Pre explained that his third book actually has three parts: "OK, I've got three books out under the title, "Barbarians Inside the Gates." Book 1 was "The Serpent's Sting," Book 2 is "The Viper's Venom," Book 3, which just came out is "The Rattler's Revenge." "And I'd like to quote from Book 2, which came out October of 2002. There is a very important paragraph there. It says, "The trigger for the 911 activity was the imminent and unstoppable worldwide financial collapse which can only be prevented temporarily by a major war, perhaps to become known as World War III. To bring it off one more time, martial law will probably be imposed in the United States." de Grand-Pre was the top U.S. arms dealer to the Middle East under the Ford and Carter administrations. What he saw caused him to leave government service and begin investigating the forces he saw warping our nation's future. In the interview with Jones, de Grand-Pre made several stunning assertions, among them:
In his various interviews and publications, deGrand-Pre has called 9/11 "an administrative coup d'etat." He suggests the only way the neocons can be stopped is by a military coup d'etat, and estimates 70 percent of key military personnel are in favor of such a step. But the possibility is complicated, he says, by the large number of key military players who have gone over to the Council on Foreign Relations team. Some of these players, including three- and four-star generals, however, may side with the military while pretending to be on the side of the neocons. de Grand-Pre insists he is in personal contact with members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The truly patriotic members of the military have had to sit there and take all these wild schemes by corporate-controlled politicians. de Grand-Pre's prediction? "I think those days are coming to an end. The military ain't going to take it any longer." In the interview with Jones, de Grand-Pre also asserted:
In earlier interviews, de Grand-Pre has recounted that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Richard Myers, had 500 copies of the 24-page report made and sent out, including, to the White House. Assessing Myers' reaction, de Grand Pre said, "I'm quite sure that he believed in it. I think that he still believes in it. You can understand the difficulties. The civilian administration, of course, won't recognize it as such. "There's a definite cleavage between the military of the Pentagon and the civilian hierarchy - and never the twain shall meet." Jones triggered a response from de Grand Pre when he mentioned a 2002 article in the Washington Times that said morale at the Pentagon had never been lower. De Grand-Pre responded: "I can verify that from Col. Dick Schultz, who is a friend of mine in the Joint Chiefs. Morale was not only low but he said some of the troops are ready to mutiny. If it wasn't for the fact that the government, the civilian hierarchy, has control over retirements, they would probably be blood in the streets by now." When other news outlets began checking on this story angle, Jones noted that Pentagon officials were apoplectic. "... they panicked and flew the officers on jets to luxury vacations and had these focus groups. It even talked about a possible mutiny. People were just totally distraught. What would make them become distraught overnight in the Pentagon?" de Grand-Pre's answer was chilling, and revealed the possibility of a military coup d'etat has been simmering in the corridors of the Pentagon for some time. "It wasn't an overnight thing. You see, as I outline in book 1, and I carry that on in book 2, as well as book 3, we were on the verge of a military coup d'etat. And this was long in the planning and even after the 78 days of bombing Kosovo, it became critical. And we were close to a coup d'etat at that time. In my survey of the reports and the pilots who worked with that, a coup was a possibility. "In fact, a coup d'etat was pulled on the morning of September 11th. Only it was an administrative or what we call a cold coup d'etat." Jones' translation of that was "a counter-revolutionary junta." de Grand-Pre concurred, and added: "And as we delved into that, we found that the culprits, including Rumsfeld, were part of a neocon group that had been planning this thing for literally years prior to September 11th." In a previous interview that appeared on Michael Rivero's What Really Happened website, de Grand-Pre had already outlined his conclusions about 9-11. "The 9-11 activity and horrific destruction of US property and lives was intentionally meant to trigger a psychological and patriotic reaction on the part of the US citizens, which is paving the way for "combined UN activity" (using the fig leaf of NATO) for striking key targets in both the Middle East/ South Asia and the Balkans. The goal continues to be ultimate destruction of all national sovereignty and establishment of a global government. "The trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and unstoppable world-wide financial collapse, which can only be prevented (temporarily) by a major war, perhaps to become known as WW 111. To bring it off (one more time), martial law will probably be imposed in the United States. de Grand-Pre had also sounded the same themes on Jackie Patru's Radio Sweet Liberty Webcast. "The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation against the United States, requiring the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles, and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets. As a tactical military exercise against two significant targets (world financial center and the citadel of world strategic military planning), the attack, from a psychological impact on the American public, equalled the Japanese "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor 7 Dec 1941. But the overriding question of that original group of pilots was: If we are at war, who is the enemy? The group determined that the enemy is within the gates, that he has infiltrated into the highest policy-making positions at the federal level, and has absolute control, not only of the purse strings, but of the troop buildup and deployment of our military forces, including active, reserve and National Guard units. Read the complete interview of Donn de Grand-Pre with Alex Jones at WARFOLLY.COM as it has not yet been posted on Jones' website, although there is a transcript posted there of his recent interview with former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow, who sounded many of the themes de Grand-Pre discussed.

APFN.NET Forum - Donn de Grand-Pre: THE ENEMY IS INSIDE THE GATES Interview of Colonel Donn de Grand-Pre Pentagon's contingency plan to overthrow USA with military coup d'etat if police, prosecutors and Congress refuse to arrest Bush Gang for treason Pentagon and National Guard "Civil Affairs" officers to run federal, state and local governments in USA Alex Jones Radio Show AJ: He put on a symposium a few years ago that made headlines in major newspapers, in Portugal. We had one of those articles posted. And it says, "Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented The News, with the version of the September 11th attacks that has to-date failed to attract the attention of the international press. The report, compiled by the independent inquiry into the September 11th World Trade Center attack, warns the American public that the government's official version of the events does not stand up to scrutiny." And the man who put this on was Col. Donn de Grand , who's an American in a 72-hour non-stop symposium, deliberation by a group of military and civilian pilots under the chairmanship of Col. Donn de Grand. After deliberating non-stop for 72-hours, has concluded the flight crews of the four passenger airliners involved in the September 11th tragedy had no control over their aircraft. They get into how the globalists clearly carried it out. Now, this was two years ago, folks. A very cutting edge... Now the mainstream foreign press has addressed it. And most Europeans believe the U.S. government carried it out. A lot of Americans are now waking up. And talking to this trailblazer, cutting-edge pioneer, Col. Donn de Grand. It's an honor, sir, to have you on the show. DGP: Hey, Alex, it's good to be aboard. AJ: We are going to break here in about a minute and a-half. Give folks your bio. Tell us about Col. Donn de Grand. DGP: Well, you've got part of the name correct. It's a hyphened word, the last name is Grand-Pre. AJ: Yes, it's Col. Donn de Grand-Pre. That's how I addressed you this morning on the website. DGP: That's alright. AJ: The Portugal newspaper just says Col. Don de Grand, so.... DGP: That's okay. I've talked to these guys and they're good and they almost got it correct. I'll give you a quick bio. I entered the military in 1944 as an 18-year-old radio operator, morse code. And I was sent to Burma and China. I was attached to the detachment 101 which was OSS and I operated out of Burma. Then later on in Kunming, China, along with such notable people as a tall, skinny gal by the name of Julia Child. She has since put on a little weight and now she's doing television commercials, I guess. But I came back on active duty in 1950 as a commissioned officer, infantry airborne. And I got involved in the Korean fracas for a year-and-a-half until I was wounded. Then I was shipped home for two-years while I recuperated. And then I came back in..... AJ: I'll tell you what, Col. Donn de Grand-Pre, let's stay right there. Let's recap when we get back and go through the rest of your bio. And then launch into this amazing symposium that you put on two-years ago and why you did it in Portugal. So stay with us. His first interview in over a year and we are honored to have Col. Donn de Grand-Pre. BREAK AJ: We are talking to Col. Donn de Grand-Pre and we have a news article about an incredible symposium he put on two years ago in Portugal, covered by a front-page newspaper and magazine ' Portugal's other major papers. And a lot of key info came out ' very cutting edge. And this is his first interview since he had a stroke a little over a year ago. It's great to have the Colonel on the show. So, he got into OSS right at the end of World War II, then went into Korea for a year and a half, was wounded, with the airborne. And that's where we left off, Colonel. Please continue with your bio. DGP: Okay, Alex. Actually I went to work then for Sec. Def. Bob McNamara. He hired me as the chief arms negotiator for the Middle East. And we conducted our business there. We were known as the super salesmen in ISA, International Security Affairs. And over a ten-year period, we sold over a hundred billion dollars worth of military equipment to all comers. And then, you mentioned the interview in Portugal. I didn't actually go to Portugal but on 11 September, actually it was 12 September, I wrote to my friend Gen. Hugh Shelton, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at that time. He was transited out. And he was replaced by Gen. Richard, what the heck was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs' The name escapes me. He was a four-star Air Force General. And, Myers, I guess, was the name. At any rate, I called together from 16 to 19 September, in the Pentagon area, not in the Pentagon, a group of military, civilian and general aviation pilots. And for three days, we kicked around what actually happened on 11 September. And then the investigator journalists covered that and it was reported in the Portugal news and very accurate. I have the report in front of me and it is quite involved but if you have some questions, fire away, Alex. AJ: Well, now you got these military officers together and that's the only place I ever saw it get reported on, was on here in Portugal ' it talked about the symposium. Of course, I read one of your fine books and we'll talk about that as well a little bit later on in the show and take some calls. But, what was laid out, what I saw in the four-page article, two years ago, has turned out to be very accurate. Tell us about the military officers, the pilots, the civilian pilots that were there and the conclusions that you came to in the 72-hour non-stop meeting. Please go over that for us. DGP: Okay, Alex, the group of pilots and they will remain anonymous were a wonderful mix of commercial, military and civilian pilots. At any rate, after three days, the decisions were unanimous. And I wrote my 24-page report up and submitted it to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. And that report ultimately got into the hands of the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on 23 January, 2002. The General was U.S. Marine Corp General by the name Peter Pace. And I got a telephone call, 5 March, from one of his horse holders, who is a Colonel Air Force type. He informed me that Gen. Peter Pace had gotten the twenty-four pages and that he and his Sec. had no comment at this time but he used the old Marine Corp lingo, "Semper Fi" or Always Faithful, and we let it go at that. Later on I continued my correspondence with the Vice Chairman and most recently, I got a letter 8 November, 2003 from Peter Pace, to me, carrying on not only about the investigation but about the three books that I have written since that time. AJ: Now, Colonel, going over your report and the, I guess the committee meeting that you guys had to play out what you believe really happened. Now as more evidence has come out, it shows that that's clearly exactly what happened. Now, they are using 911 to turn this country into a total police state. I mean how do you see us turning this around? DGP: The turning around is not going to be that easy. I look at the final paragraph of this report. And here is what the final paragraph said. "So far the mainstream American news media has failed to publish or broadcast any details regarding the independent inquiry. Similarly, the White House whilst having received a copy of the report has remained silent on its findings." While we know that a copy, first of all I have to back up a little. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had 500 copies of this 24-page report made and sent out, including, to the White House. And I have to say it was including Pres. Bush. So they got a copy of the report. AJ: That was Myers at the time. DGP: That is correct. AJ: And so, he sent out 500 copies, that would mean that he believed it. DGP: I'm quite sure that he believed in it. I think that he still believes in it. You can understand the difficulties. The civilian administration, of course, won't recognize it as such. AJ: How did you find out that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs sent this out? DGP: I got a telephone call and I think the date was 5 March 2002, stating that at the time, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had no comment but he used the Marine Corp lingo 'Semper Fi', Semper Fidelity 'always faithful'. And that triggered in me further memos and I traded memos with Gen. Peter Pace and Dick Myers and they continued on until November of last year. AJ: Well that had to be upsetting to Mr. Rumsfeld to have all these, hundreds of your reports flying around the Pentagon. DGP: (laughs) Yeah, you see there's a definite cleavage between the military of the Pentagon and the civilian hierarchy - and never the twain shall meet. AJ: Well, there was an article right after 'that you talk about' in mid-2002 in the Washington Times saying the morale in the Pentagon had never been lower. And you would think it would be high right after 911 and getting together to fight the enemy. But it said that the officers didn't believe in the "mission" or in the intelligence. DGP: That is correct. That came out of the Washington Times and I can verify that from Col. Dick Schultz, who is a friend of mine in the Joint Chiefs. Morale was not only low but he said some of the troops are ready to mutiny. If it wasn't for the fact that the government, the civilian hierarchy, has control over retirements, they would probably be blood in the streets by now. AJ: There was also an article where they panicked in the Washington Times, it was also in the Washington Post, they panicked and flew the officers on jets to luxury vacations and had these focus groups. It even talked about a possible mutiny. People were just totally distraught. What would make them become distraught overnight in the Pentagon? DGP: It wasn't an overnight thing. You see, as I outline in book 1, and I carry that on in book 2, as well as book 3, we were on the verge of a military coup d'etat. And this was long in the planning and even after the 78 days of bombing Kosovo, it became critical. And we were close to a coup d'etat at that time. In my survey of the reports and the pilots who worked with that, a coup was a possibility. In fact, a coup d'etat was pulled on the morning of September 11th. Only it was an administrative or what we call a cold coup d'etat. AJ: Or reverse coup d'etat. DGP: Yes, in fact.... AJ: A counter revolutionary junta. DGP: Well that is correct. And as we delved into that, we found that the culprits, including Rumsfeld, were part of a neocon group that had been planning this thing for literally years prior to September 11th. AJ: Absolutely, Colonel, it's just amazing picking your brain. We are going to break here. In talking to your this morning, I was proud to know that you've been a listener to this show for a while. DGP: Well, I've had a single side band short wave set for about 4 years and I listened variously to Alex Jones, particularly up until about 2-years ago, and as a result of the events of September 11th, I did have a stoke. I'm fully recovered. As I told Alex, I went riding my favorite quarter horse this morning. So I'm back and ready for anything. AJ: Well that's wonderful Colonel. Okay, we'll break and come back with the Colonel and get into all of this ' and later get to your calls, too. So please, stay with us. BREAK AJ: We'll take some of your calls for Col. Donn de Grand-Pre coming up in the next segment. He's done a lot of great work. I've only read one of his books. Donn, tell us about some of your books, what they cover and how folks can get a copy. DGP: Okay, I've got three books out, Alex, under the title, "Barbarians Inside the Gates." Book 1 was "The Serpent's Sting," Book 2 is "The Viper's Venom," Book 3 which just came out is "The Rattler's Revenge." And I'd like to quote from Book 2, which came out October of 2002. There is a very important paragraph there. It says, "The trigger for the 911 activity was the imminent and unstoppable world-wide financial collapse which can only be prevented temporarily by a major war, perhaps to become known as World War III. To bring it off one more time, martial law will probably be imposed in the United States." AJ: And now we've seen Gen. Eberhart say that that's the next step. Tommy Franks said that's the next step. Are those now chilling statements? DGP: Yes, they are. This next step will be preceded by what I write up in book 1 ' "The Serpent's Sting." I wrote of a coming coup d'etat. And this was written in the year 2000. And sure as blazes, it's coming. And it will be preceded by these kinds of things as enunciated by Tommy Franks, among others. So we are in a world of hurt, Alex. AJ: Now, by a coup d'etat, you mean another intensification of a reverse coup d'etat to keep the people from fighting against the New World Order or do you mean the type that Bill Clinton successfully stopped in his administration? DGP: Well, I'm talking about the administrative coup d'etat that came off September 11th. AJ: You're talking about an intensification of the elite in a coup d'etat against America. DGP: That is correct. AJ: Well, I mean, it's ongoing. They are federalizing everything, they are militarizing everything, they're engaging in the classic takeover, are they not? DGP: Yes, there are. And from this, Alex, and I bring this out very clearly in book 3, the only way we can stop it is with the classic counter-coup d'etat where the military steps in. And under the aegis of the military itself, disengaging or disemboweling the civilian hierarchy and taking over and re-running or re-organizing the federal government. AJ: Now the problem is they've got so many CFR minions in the Pentagon. We know that Clinton had some officers terminated and, in their office, shot multiple times and the rest of it. We know that that happened but the question is how many of the high level officers are on the globalist team? DGP: I can only say several of the highest level are members now of the Council on Foreign Relations. The important thing to consider is how many of them are sincere in their beliefs as enunciated by the CFR. I believe there are several sleepers and I believe I know some of them personally who are three and four-star generals. They are members of the CFR but "their heart belongs to Jesus," if I can use that expression because they are true Semper Fidelity people. Some of them happen to be Marines. And I'm counting on them to do the right thing. And I bring this out in book 3. AJ: Absolutely and we'll tell people how they can get those books. I mean I want to carry them but Colonel, your experience in the military, your experience in the intelligence agencies, there's also the danger though obviously in any military movement of that nature that it could be self-serving as well, and set up its own form of wickedness. DGP: Yes, that's plausible, that's correct. I don't believe it will happen in exactly that fashion. And the thing about a coup d'etat and a counter-coup d'etat is you never know when it's going to happen. You never know exactly who is involved. This is a plus for any planners of a counter-coup d'etat. AJ: Well, this is certainly dividing the wheat from the chaff. How many people, and we'll get the answer to the question when we get back from your feelers in the Pentagon, how many people in there now know that an element of the global system, a crime syndicate, carried out 91, I mean, only an idiot would know, would think they didn't but the point is, this has got to be accelerating the division. And I want to get your take on the pulse of that and we'll take calls when we get back. Stay with us. BREAK AJ: We are talking to Col. Donn de Grand-Pre and he worked in many of the levels of the U.S. military and has put out some really important information. Two years ago, he put out a report in a meeting in a 72-hour deliberation, a group of military and civilian U.S. pilots under the chairmanship of Col. Donn de Grand-Pre. After deliberating non-stop for 72-hours has concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners involved in the September 11th tragedy had no control over the aircraft. And they get into how the military industrial complex clearly, that is elements of it, were in control of this. Colonel, we are going to go to some calls here in a minutes after you cover some other issues with us. But, understand this, my question of what percentage of the officers, period, in the military do you think have finally woken up to the true magnitude of what's going on? DGP: Well, I'm in personal contact at least on a weekly basis with the Joint Chiefs and other select people. My computation is that 70% of us are with us. That's the higher ranking military, field grade officers, etc. and even the first three grades of the enlisted ' 70% are with us. AJ: Well, they've had questionnaires, you know, a decade ago, will you fire on U.S. citizens under UN control if the president says so ' and, you know, 74% say no to that. Okay, then how are the globalists getting away with this? DGP: Sheer [Garbled] bluff and we can thank many of the neocons who are now in power in the Defense Dept. particularly. They get away with it because they try it out and see if anybody will salute the flag and that's the way it goes. AJ: So basically, they wrap their un-American agenda in a flag and the general public buys it so the military has to sit there and take it. DGP: They do, yes, and I think those days are coming to an end. The military ain't going to take it any longer. AJ: How did the military ever get convinced to use depleted uranium in areas where there is going to be troops? DGP: To put what Alex? AJ: Well, yeah, the military gets treated like dog meat. You've got the depleted uranium, Colonel, where they spray the depleted uranium everywhere where the troops breathe it at 1900 times safe levels. How can the Pentagon put up with that? DGP: Well, the DU rounds are over-played, first of all. They aren't that potent and secondarily, we must consider that weapons of mass destruction have already been used by some of the opposition in the period February of 1991. Weapons of mass destruction, including low-yield nuclear weapons. AJ: Okay, can you break that down for us? DGP: Well, I break it down in the time frame that we had satellite images of rounds or missiles being fired from the Negev desert toward Baghdad. That's 600 miles distance. And six or eight of the rounds came in. That was February of 1991. AJ: Are you saying that the Israelis used miniaturized nuclear weapons? DGP: Yes sir. That's what I'm saying, in plain English. AJ: Well I remember, I know they bragged that they had a lot of really sophisticated miniaturized nuclear weapons, of the little mini-frogs, or whatever. But and I know there were these giant mushroom clouds on the news. They'd say, "Oh, that's not a nuke. That's just a weapons depot." But you are saying that it is common knowledge at the Pentagon that Israel was firing nuclear weapons at Iraq? DGP: That is correct. AJ: Oh, so that's where all this high-level radiation is emanating from? DGP: That is correct. And I have verification of that. I think it's in book 2. And I think it will stand up in most scrutiny. AJ: Well, I know your work on September 11th certainly has. Do you think the globalists are going to have the will to carry out another massive attack here in the U.S. to try to get control back over the population and get their agenda back on track? Or do you think they've calculated, computed as you said, that that will blow up in their face because so many people now know who the real terrorists are? DGP: That's a two-prong question, Alex. I think it deserves a studied answer. The only thing I can say is I'm not sure how it will turn out. But it is very dangerous. AJ: From watching the globalists, I think they had a plan, they are still following a plan but I think they are shook-up. I think, from the evidence, in fact I know from the evidence, that a lot of things they planned haven't gone according to schedule and so they don't know what to do right now. DGP: This is correct. I think it's personified in the persona of the Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz. They almost got him in Baghdad when they fired the salvo, one night, of weaponry and they scared Paul Wolfowitz off. He's ready to resign or get the hell out. AJ: You think that was U.S. forces doing that? DGP: I believe it. It was very well planned again and .. AJ: Yeah, only U.S. forces would know that he would be there. Yeah. DGP: That is correct. And the precision of those weapons that came into the hotel. There were eleven rounds in all and I can speak from authenticity that they scared the hell out of Paul Wolfowitz. And probably, C. Paul Bremer, or whatever his name is. AJ: Why does the Pentagon hate Wolfowitz? DGP: Wolfowitz has been in this game since 1974. I was still on active duty when I met him in 1974 and he was coming on strong even then. And along with him, Richard Perle and a couple of the others who are now known as neoconservatives. AJ: Now Perle had the nickname as "The Crazy" and "The Prince of Darkness". Is that correct? DGP: That is correct. AJ: Why was he known as "The Prince of Darkness"? DGP: I can't answer that directly. He was a snake to begin with but nothing was ever straight forward as far as Richard Perle was concerned. I introduced book 3 two quotes stating that Richard Perle is a madman. And it goes on from there. AJ: Well he is a madman. He was at a press dinner last year and, again, giggling and laughing about how we are going to have World War III, we are going to nuke everyone, ha, ha, ha. And then he goes, "Isn't that impressive" and started grabbing on some women. I mean, he's a complete lunatic. DGP: That is correct. Richard Perle's days are numbered. I don't know if he realizes it but so many of these so-called neocons, you'll notice now, that they are very quiet indeed. They are not really surfacing anymore, including Dick Cheney. AJ: Yeah, why is Dick Cheney been literally hiding under a bunker? DGP: He's been hiding under a bunker most of the time since September 11th. AJ: And, by the way, it has come out that he took control of NORAD and was saying something in the U.S. ultra-secret bunkers, that he was on loud-speakers ordering people to follow his orders. He had to physically take control of something, from my sources, it was the fact that they were going to go ahead and shoot the aircraft down. That's what I've got from lawyers who represent military officers. We know he was in control through even during the hijackings, the supposed hijackings. What do you know about that? DGP: Well, not too much really. I can't speak to that because it's hypothetical and what I try to stick to are the cold hard facts. AJ: Well, Colonel, we know he did take control of the bunkers. I just don't know what he said, according to ABC News but according to my sources which have been very accurate, he was ordering a stand down. DGP: Yes, I can believe it but again, it's supposition and I still haven't been able to figure out what makes Dick Cheney tick. AJ: So, well then why is he hiding in a bunker? Why is he at the Naval Observatory in a bunker most of the time? DGP: I think that that is what he considers to be the safest place at the moment. He's basically a coward and this too will come out. I feel that Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, both of them, their days are numbered. AJ: Okay, so politically more and more corruption coming out, more and more of their criminal activities coming out, serious issues. Colonel, how do folks get your books, the three-part series? DGP: Okay, the book is easy to come by. My incomparable daughter Doneva is the publisher of these books and they are turning out top-grade, library quality books. Books 1, 2, and 3 ' "Barbarians Inside the Gates." They can be obtained by writing to post office box 1124, Madison, Virginia 22727. And send it in care of Grand-Pre Publishing, Ltd. And for the price of $30, you can get book 1. $30 again is book 2. And then for book 3 that just came out and it's a big book, 608 pages, we've had to up the price to $45. AJ: Alright, these are thick books, jam-packed and the address is PO 1124, Madison, Virginia. And that zip code again' DGP: 22727. AJ: Alright and does that $30 include the shipping? DGP: No, it really doesn't. For the books and we send them all out priority special handling, that's runs $3.85 a book. AJ: Okay, got you. Alright we'll give that out again a little bit later. So let's go ahead and take some calls. [SKIPPED SEGMENT] AJ: All right, 8 minutes, 30 seconds into this third hour. Again I'm Alex Jones, your host. We'll have our guest with us for another twenty-five minutes or so, then I'm going to get into this big stack of news that we have not detailed yet. Believe me it's all very important. Our guest is Col. Donn de Grand-Pre. Honored to have him on the show. He's the author of a three-part series of books, "Barbarians Inside the Gates." And real quick, John in New York, you had a question about 9/11. John: It's not a question. I want to make a comment. I was in the Air Force. My career field was radar operations and I was assigned to the Air Defense Command. The airliners turned around at Erie, Pennsylvania and were off-course for approximately one-hour, at the wrong altitude, at the wrong speed, without radio contact and it is absolutely insane for anybody to believe that could have happened unless people were told to stand down. AJ: Well, Payne Stewart, in 18 minutes had five F-16s around him in the middle of no where. In the most sensitive air corridor in the world, the eastern coast there, D.C./ New York, with these four planes all over the map. And they know there's been hijackings and Dick Cheney's in control. Everything's standing down and .... John: The fighters that were stationed in Virginia, just across the border from Washington, D.C., could have been flying at bust speed, which is max speed, they could have intercepted those planes in 15 minutes and saved all that tragedy. And the second airplane was 15 minutes behind the first airplane. So to think they didn't do anything about the second one makes it even more ludicrous. So, terrific guest; terrific show. Thanks for taking my call. AJ: All right, and again, we don't even do this justice to focus on one area. I mean we've got all the public officials being told not to go to New York, the insider trading by the CIA, the Bushes protecting the bin Ladens. Colonel, do you want to comment on that? DGP: Well, what I was trying to get through here, John has done a beautiful job of laying it all out here on 911. What I want to carry away is that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs himself has agreed, there were no hijackers. There were no cell phone calls. Everybody aboard that aircraft, pilots and crew, were unconscious within 8 to 18 minutes after take-off. And you can take it from there. I've got it covered in books 2 and 3, what actually happened. AJ: So, they're knocked out and then the remote control takes place and the rest is history. DGP: Yeah, there was remote control and .. yes. AJ: By the way, people don't believe they have that. Kennedy's oldest son, JFK's big brother, died in a chase plane [sic] with remote controlling in a bomber loaded with explosives as a drone in 1944. [Operation APHRODITE - Joe Kennedy Jr. was piloting a remote-controlled B-24 Liberator bomber loaded with 20,000 pounds of TNT, to use as a bunker-buster Kamikaze bomb. He and his copilot were scheduled to bail out over England, with a pilot in a chase plane to guide the smart-bomb to its NAZI target in France. However, Kennedy's B-24 exploded over England before he could bail out, according to the HistoryChannel.com - "Dead Mens' Tales". The explosion was witnessed by the son of president FDR, who was flying as a photographr in one of the squadron of chase planes.] DGP: That is correct. AJ: So this very old technology, folks. And for people that are in total denial, it's ridiculous. Let's go ahead and talk to Wayne in Virginia. Wayne, thanks for holding, go ahead. Wayne: Yes sir, thank you. I have a two-part question. The first part is Colonel..ah. AJ: Donn de Grand-Pre Wayne: de Grand-Pre. I'm sorry sir, I stumbled over your name. Could you play the instructor with us ground-pounders for a little while and tell us why, from an airmanship point of view, the maneuvers the aircraft performed were just inexplicable and bordering on the impossible from a pilot's point of view? DGP: Yes, let me get that real quick for Wayne from Virginia. These planes were being piloted by remote control, probably an AWACs aircraft taking over that airplane or airplanes or drones, unmanned drones. And flying them at 5 and 8 G-force that no pilot could withstand. So, in short, and if you read books 2 and 3, you will discover how and why this came about. Wayne: The second part of my question is after 911, our Congressman from down here, Randy Forbes spoke at a Veterans' Foreign Wars Hall about how close he was to the Bush and Rumsfeld cabal and how before 911 he had a briefing at the White House where they were told they were expecting something big from Afghanistan. And he also in his discussion, there were about 200 or 300 people there, it is recorded on film. And my notes are very clear on this. He also said they were following other aircraft out over the ocean. Do you have any knowledge of that? That is something that I have not heard discussed at all about 911. DGP: No, but this comes under speculation now. And I'm telling you that we are knowledgeably speculating. Those aircraft carrying crew and passengers went over the Atlantic and that was all she wrote. [Crosstalk] AJ: Yeah, you remote control the original planes out, then your loaded up drones attack. And the biggest and oldest newspaper in Spain just came out, three weeks ago, and they looked at the bottom of one of those jets and there's some type of giant belly attachment. It's clearly a modified aircraft. Wayne: Can I ask one final question? AJ: Yes. Wayne: That your line of discussion here, the Colonel in the past few minutes, has just opened up. You said earlier that you expected when push comes to shove that this 70% of general and field grade officers are going to say that's it. Well the enterprise that we are discussing here of taking regularly scheduled civilian airlines out and ditching them in the ocean and putting in their places aerial bombs.... AJ: Yeah, that is push coming to shove. Wayne: That is it. Why aren't these people coming forward now' AJ: Let me say this. We know because, folks I don't want to give too much detail out. I've talked to lawyers. I've talked to them. We know hundreds of high level officers have leaked everything we are now learning about today. So, I think that this caught a lot of people unawares. Colonel, do you want to comment on that? DGP: Well, the only thing I can say is that let's consider that second aircraft that hit the World Trade Center. It did have a control device on the belly of the 757. That aircraft was unmanned and went in and blew up as a diversion. And something else happened. This was a sideshow. AJ: I understand but going back to, we know they had bombs in the buildings, it's now admitted, but going back to what the caller said, your saying these elements in the military when push came to shove are going to stand up. Well, I would say that 911 was the globalists pushing. So, where's the shove? That's his question. DGP: Well this will come. It's going to be in the form of a counter-coup d'tat. You understand that a coup d'tat was pulled on September 11th by the civilian hierarchy. [crosstalk] Say again? Wayne: God grant that it would come soon. DGP: Well, we, we, yes it probably will. Wayne: They are talking about going into Syria now. DGP: Don't believe it. There is a new ballgame there and I can't go into it right now. But Syria is going to be something else entirely involving NATO forces. And I can't go into that much right now. AJ: Okay, thanks for the call, Wayne. Let's talk to Diane in South Carolina. Diane, go ahead. Diane: Hi, before I asked my question. Please ask Don de Grand-Pre, Sir, to give us a phone number so we can contact him. And I have read the first book. It is awesome. It's like reading history and just watching everything unfold. AJ: Yeah, he wrote about it in 2000 and then it happens a year later. Diane: So, here's my question. On Thursday of last week in the Courier in South Carolina, they had a small article on the Russians who are now doing this World War III practice. AJ: Yeah, the Russians are doing nuclear attack drills on us ' our little buddies, you know. Diane: Okay, they had in there about a maneuverable nuclear-tipped weapon for offensive purposes..... AJ: Yeah, they say they've got a missile that nothing can stop... Diane: It's an airplane that goes five times the speed of sound. This was in the paper. AJ: Well, they've had that for a while. You want to comment on that? Diane: And my question is how is the foreign military in the United States vs. our military going to respond? And it looks like Russia is making some moves now. What do you think about Russia? AJ: Yeah Colonel, that's a good question. I have all the articles, I have the documents they really are trying to integrate foreign and East German, Czech Republic, others into our military. How is that going? DGP: It's probably going. I can't give you detail. You are bordering on certain elements that I can't talk about. But we have to consider the Russian aspect of these weapons as being in essence propaganda. We have the same type of unmanned aircraft drones, etc. that will fly 5 times the speed of sound. AJ: They will do a lot more than that. DGP: Yeah, but Diane let's not worry too much about the Russians. Diane: Well, is there a non-gravitational type airplane or something? AJ: No, they've got regular propulsion air. .. look, look Ma'am, they claim the SR 71 Blackbird in flight in '55, in service in '59, was the fastest jet in the world. It is not and it cruises at mach 3. Okay, I mean they got jets that will just..... Diane: I know we are way behind what they are telling us. What I'm thinking.... AJ: Do you want to comment on that? Diane: And ask him to give out his number for us, too. DGP: Let me give you a home phone where you can contact me at Grand Pre Publishing Ltd. at 540-547-2996. And that's my home phone. It's a private phone and you can call me anytime. AJ: Okay, now we know that you had a stroke a few years ago worrying about this so much. So folks, don't bug him too much. Hey, I feel like I'm going to have one everyday worrying about this. DGP: I can handle just about anything including this 15-year old gelding that I was riding this morning. AJ: Okay, well that's good sir. We'll be right back. We'll take more calls. BREAK AJ: All right folks. Here's the deal, we are going to take 5 more calls for our guest. Then let our guest go. I really appreciate him coming on. Then I'm going to cover a bunch of news that we haven't really detailed yet. It's very, very important and recap some top stories as well. Diane had asked your phone number and if you want to give it out, that's fine. Folks, if you want to talk to the Colonel, it's 540-547-2996. And before he leaves us in the next segment, we'll give you the mailing address again to get the books. Let's talk to John in Tennessee. John, you are on the air, go ahead. John Lee, Knoxville, Tennessee: Colonel, did a cruise missile hit the Pentagon, or a Global Hawk, or a drone business jet? DGP: You are talking about what hit the Pentagon, right John? It was a cruise missile. It could have been a Global Hawk. It was not a commercial aircraft. AJ: That's what the eye-witnesses said and the evidence shows. And do people realize that this was staged at the Pentagon? I mean obviously it's in an area that's under renovation and then all this happens. Do people at the Pentagon? are they still buying the official story, Colonel? DGP: Well, I can't speak for the rest of them but I'm certainly not buying that. And I think I've got the full story in book 3. And that's it. It was a diversionary hit for strategic reasons and it didn't matter whether it was a pilotless drone or a Global Hawk missile. It wasn't a commercial aircraft. AJ: It's the most surveilled area in the world but no video of it. Witnesses said they saw a small aircraft. DGP: No, they did not. We have [garbled] a video that purports to show a firing of a launch probably from a Global Hawk or an unmanned aircraft missile but it certainly wasn't a commercial aircraft. John Lee: And was United Airlines Flight 93 shot down in Pennsylvania by a U.S. or NATO pilot, and was that what was supposed to hit the Pentagon? DGP: No, that was hit at 10:00 hours. It was taken out by the North Dakota Air Guard. I know the pilot who fired those two missiles to take down 93. John Lee: Was it shot down because the airline pilots actually regained control of the hijacked auto-pilot, or was that to replace the unmanned drone that was shot down? DGP: No, it was the aircraft, you see, had totally unconscious people on board. There were no hijackers. At 9:35, the Happy Hooligans, the Air Guard flying the F-16s were ordered to take that plane out. And they took it out from 9:35 to 10:00. John Lee: Were there any refueling jets involved in that operation? AJ: Hold on a second, John. The question is why would they deviate from the plan of flying it into the Capitol? Why did the globalists decide to go ahead and shoot the plane down? DGP: There had been an adjustment to the controls, probably by an AWACs aircraft flying overhead, again, remote control. And it was on a course for either the Capitol or the White House. And at this stage, you don't know. The Happy Hooligans came in and took care of it. AJ: Do you think they were not following orders? DGP: Who, the Happy Hooligans? AJ: Well, yeah, you've got Cheney running around, we've got the stand down taking place. DGP: Well, this is correct, but you see the Adj. General of the State of North Dakota gave the command to take it out. And, by God, they took it out. And I've got the full story in the book. AJ: That's a good thing they did that. You said you talked to the pilot. Think about this folks. Imagine what Bush would have gotten if he would have had that plane fly into the Capitol? Imagine the police state we would be in right now. DGP: Yes, yes, yes, indeed. AJ: And so you had to have the diversionary blast at the Pentagon so no one would get suspicious and think it was a military coup. DGP: Perhaps, perhaps. AJ: John, does that answer your question? John Lee: Ware there any refueling tankers used by the North Dakota Air Guard and what tanker wing was used? DGP: I don't know about the aircraft itself. I don't know about refueling. They came off base in Langley and it was just a few minutes out from Langley to the intercept over Pennsylvania. It was just a matter of minutes. AJ: Colonel, how did you get in touch with the pilot who shot the plane down? DGP: It turned out to be an old friend of mine from the Air National Guard and this is my home state of North Dakota. And I attended the ceremony in North Dakota and watched the Adj. General [garbled] the pilot being decorated a year later for this activity that happened on 911 with Flight 93. BREAK AJ: Welcome back. We are about to go back to the Colonel and his amazing revelation of the North Dakota National Guard that had been moved to Langley Virginia a few months before 911. And then went in there and shot down that Flight 93 over Pennsylvania. He says he's talked to the pilot. His info checks out. I've been researching what he's been doing for years. Before we go back to our guest and 4 final calls from Scott and June and Warren and Greg, and we'll go to you quick too, because we've got a bunch of news we need to get to. [Skipped segment] Colonel, before we take these four final calls, go over that a little bit slower for folks. That's a big deal. You talked to the pilot, a friend of yours, who shot down Flight 93 that was going for the Capitol or the White House. And go over that for folks. DGP: Okay, quick rundown. They were out of Hector Field, Fargo, North Dakota. A bunch, this 119 Fighter Group and they are called the Happy Hooligans. They are probably the best interceptors that we have in the country. They were moved to Langley Air Force Base from Hector Field down to Southern Virginia. And when the klaxon horn went off at 9:35, those two pilots put down their coffee and shot into their aircraft and took off. They didn't know where they were going initially but by 10:00 hours, they had rendezvoused over Southern Pennsylvania. That's about 250 miles in just a matter of minutes and engaged 93 with two side-winder missiles. And they accomplished their objective. Now Hector Field, I use to fly out of Hector Field some time ago. I know most of those pilots. I could name names. I know the National Guard Adj. General. And they were decorated about a year later and I have the full write up of that story in my book. AJ: Yeah and it's just ignored by the media. I have that article, too. And later, well okay, it was a missile, well there wasn't "Let's Roll." It's all made-up theatre for the public and we buy it like a bunch of saps. DGP: That is correct. AJ: It's incredible. Let's go ahead and talk to Scott in Florida. Scott, go ahead. Scott: Hi, how you doing? AJ: Fine. Scott: Earlier in the show, you mentioned that both Cheney and Wolfowitz might be in some trouble. I was wondering if they'd been serving the real rulers of the world, the thirteen families or whatever they are, and been dutifully pushing the agenda for world government.... AJ: Yeah, obviously they are just minions, [crosstalk] policy wonk puppets, so you're saying..... Scott: If they've been doing a good job for them, why are they in danger vs. a Powell or Rice or Bush, or all they all in danger? AJ: Or in danger of Rockefeller? Scott: Right. DGP: Cheney is closest to the action. He was probably most involved in all of the details of September 11th and he'll be one of the first to fall. So I predict, I predict that Cheney will be out of here inside of, well prior to the election. Scott: Is that because he knows exactly what happened or because ... DGP: Yes, he knows exactly what happened. Scott: You have to eliminate all those people. DGP: Several, yes. AJ: Now, again... Scott: Wouldn't that serve as a warning to anybody who would serve them in the future? DGP: Perhaps but these guys can only understand one ingredient and that is force. And that's why it has to emanate from the military. And military force in the persona of military tribunals will takeover. And Cheney, as I reiterate, is toast. AJ: But they are the ones who are creating the tribunals. I will say this. Gen. Rick Bacchus, over a year ago, Rhode Island native, the head of Gitmo, Guantanamo Bay, he resigned and said, "I'm not going to torture innocent people." Now that hardly got any press. We have two-star generals quitting. We have a lot of people not going along with this already. DGP: And there will be a lot more, Alex. AJ: Pardon me? DGP: There will be a lot more people either resigning or retiring. And yet it's going to come out and there will be military tribunals. Former German Defense Minister Confirms CIA Involvement in 9/11 Alex Jones Interviews Andreas Von Buelow INFOWARS.COM Please understand that this is a transcript made directly from a live radio interview. It may not conform to exeplary standards of grammar. Mr. Von Buelow's first language is German. Alex Jones: All right my friends. We are already into the third and final hour of this global transmission against tyranny. And, in the last hour we had Hutton Gibson, expert on the New World Order and of course father of Mel Gibson, on talking about the different key issues. In this hour, we are joined by Andreas von Buelow and he was the federal Minister of Defense, or the equivalent of our Secretary of Defense, been in the German government since the 70s. And up until just a few years ago he was also the Minister of Technology and he has written a book that according to Reuters is the best seller in Germany that translates into '9-11 and the CIA.' And he's not the only German minister who has said we are looking at world fascism here and a powerful military industrial complex institution engineering terror attacks to scare us into submission. And, Andre von Bulow, err Andreas von Bulow, we are so honored to have a man of your stature and obvious intelligence and your courage on this show. Thank you for joining us. Andreas von Bulow: Hello and it's wonderful speaking, yes. AJ: Uh, we're going to break here in a few minutes and come back in a longer segment but for those who just joined us, tell us a little bit more about yourself and your book please. AvB: Well I...I have spent over twenty-five years in politics and now I am out. And in the end I was Minister of Technology before I was Secretary of Defense. Then I had to deal in a commission on East-West transactions about the secret service of East Germany. And this was very interesting inside story because of the Western side doing deals violating the laws in Eastern Eur, err, East Germany, European Community and the United States. It was always two parts dealing with East and West and this bought me a lot of insights in the secret service business. AJ: And in fact I remember reading about the huge investigations you did that was massive international headlines concerning the Stasi and how different governments had actually been working with these people. If you would like you are of course welcome to get into that as well. Again folks, the equivalent secretary of defense, minister of defense of Germany, and of course technology, the head of that. Just absolutely amazing. Your best selling book, and I wish there was an English translation because I would certainly buy one. My wife does read German. But please, tell us about your book. AvB: Well I was writing another book and then 9 11 happened. And it was strange to me watching- we all were horrified what was going on and said well that's impossible, how could a crew of people manage do such horrible things? At the first hours, we didn't know who was it, then within hours it came out that probably Usama bin Laden and Al Qaeda was behind it. And then within two or three days these 19 people came out. And my objection was- my looking at it- to whom does it bring good? And I found out that it is rather damaging to the Islamic world and perhaps it might be not only be a terrorist attack but perhaps it might be a covert operation. I watched the scenery, what was going on, what the American government- AJ: Minister, minister, we've got to break; we'll be back in three minutes. Absolutely, we'll go into this in great detail. We are honored to have you. We're talking to Andreas von Bulow. We'll be back. (Fade to bumper music) (Commercial Break) AJ: That's right my friends it's eight minutes ten seconds into this 3rd hour of global transmission. I am so honored to have on Andreas von Bulow former German defense minister, head of their defense department and of course until just a few years ago, head of their technology system which is, that is a very high level post, just as high level as defense minister there in Deutschland. And he's written a best selling book and I've read some quotes out of it that have been translated into English. And the title translated is '911 and the CIA.' And he lays out the evidence of the military-industrial complex carrying out the attacks. Also we have lined up Michael Micher. And he of course was the English environmental minister who resigned over Tony Blair's fraud. He has written articles saying that if they didn't carry it out, they certainly funded and allowed them to take place. So, if you've got a brain, it's clear, and Mr. von Bulow, very intelligent individual has gone over this. So, sir, you've said that on the day of the event you began to look at it, you began to research it. And, from your specific expertise in intelligence and military and technology, you know heading up entire sectors of the world's third largest economy. Please discuss for us your research and how you wrote the book and what really happened on 9 11. AvB: Err, 9 11, I just watched the scenery. And I said there must have- gone something very [wrong]. I watched the TV for example and in the same minute that the TV showed the planes driving into the World Trade Center, you found these Palestinians dancing and laughing. And a few days later one could find out that this was fake. It was made by a TV crew of the defense ministry in Israel and they gave candies to the people and they laughed about it. And, nobody told it. And the question for me was who brought this TV stuff right in time into the national networks like CNN and CBS and so on and so on. And then we look for the, the story came out that this had been done by bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda and these 19 people of Muslim background, which did this. And you could watch the Persian journalist, and nobody showed up. Not one Arabic name was showing up there. And then one is interested to see video because all these 19 passengers must have passed the video, a lot of video cameras in Dallas, and New York, and Logan in Boston, and Portland in the North. You don't get this stuff. And then we're looking for the black boxes and we don't get them. And the story how these, these World Trade Center buildings broke down, they were constructed against an approach by airplanes. And, the firemen of New York, they were able to come to the floor where the fires were burning, and they said, the fire commander said he needed two teams, small, to fight these fires and then it's finished. So the heat, it is impossible that the heat was as high as it has been written in the papers and in all the media. AJ: And then, and then the feds declared that all firefighter tapes malfunctioned, turns out that wasn't true; we've got copies of them. And it did say that the firefighters said the fires were out or almost out. There is video of people standing in the holes of the buildings with no fire around them. And we're going to go over the evidence that's in your book, sir, and why you came to these educated conclusions. AvB: Yeah. AJ: But, first I want to ask you: have you heard the new developments, the owner of the World Trade Center slipped up on TV and said that they blew Building Seven up. The forty-seven story building that wasn't even hit by an aircraft. This just broke two weeks ago, have you heard this? AvB: Sure, I have heard this. I follow the whole scenery. Normally, it's coming out in Germany, but it's coming out in your country. It's a fascinating background to, to do research via Internet because all this stuff is broadly spread over the Internet. So it's very easy to follow, but in the main media you don't get to hear about this. AJ: Well tell you what, later this hour, it's only three minutes of audio clips, we will air from the PBS documentary 'America Rebuilding,' where they admit they blew up WTC 7. Now, that's important because they said that building fell from fire even though it wasn't hit by a plane. And now, he slips up and says we decided to demolish it on 9-11, but then the mainstream media just ignores that. This is a public admission, sir. AvB: Yeah, yeah especially that the CIA headquarters in New York was in, was within this building. I think the- how do you call it- the emergency center for the governor, the major, err, mayor was- AJ: Mayor and governor. AvB: -mayor was in this building. So, it was not hit by a plane, and the fire was very low. And the surrounding steel constructions were left over and didn't collapse. But, the Building 7 collapsed in late afternoon at 5 o' clock I think. AJ: Well, from our internal sources, they were running the attacks sir, out of the building and so conveniently got rid of the evidence in one fell swoop. AvB: This is one theory, it might be. It's convincing but one has to get the whole proof. But the problem is that the elements for proof are destroyed. AJ: Also- AvB: You will find them in Japanese cars and in ships of the American Navy. AJ: Also, sir, we have NORAD standing down for an hour and twenty five minutes but when we had the golfer Payne Stewart went off course for fifteen minutes, he was surrounded in eighteen minutes by five F-16s so why did NORAD stand down? AvB: Well, this is a big question because it happened in 2001 more than 60 times. That, fighter[s] went up to clear what has been done to airplanes that showed some irregularities. At 9 11, four planes for two hours were able to drive around, fly around even one hour in the direction going toward the west and then turn around and then comeback. The military air force was not able to interdict them. It's [un]imaginable. And the whole story is totally unclear what happened between the Federal Aviation Agency (Administration) and NORAD. AJ: Absolutely, now I don't know if you've seen the associated press but the CIA was running a drill 15 miles from the World Trade Center that day of flying jets into buildings in New York and DC. My internal sources inside the Pentagon, the lawyers who represent them have said on this show that they were told to stand down because it was quote 'just a drill.' That's how you get the good military to stand down; you tell them it's just a drill. And, that drill was going on at 830 in the morning. Is that not obvious, sir? AvB: It's quite obvious, yeah. It's quite, it's so strange and the most strange thing for me is that after two years you don't have a white book which is documenting everything. If you are looking for the timetable for example you have to make a medium between two or three or five newspapers and radio and TV announcements. So everything is unclear. On the other hand, the American government is running as the call it a world war against possibly sixty nations without really showing the background of 9/11. It's- for me, it's impossible. AJ: Now by that they admit that nine of the nineteen hijackers, the BBC says seven but it's nine, are still alive. Bin Laden has not been convicted, bin Laden is known CIA, you've got [George H. W.] Bush meeting with the head bin Laden that morning in DC at the Ritz Carleton, you've got the General of Pakistan, the head of their intelligence, meeting with the House and Senate chairs of the intelligence committee at 8:30 that morning, his second trip in his life to the United States. You've got the FBI paying for the houses, the cars, the credit cards of the supposed hijackers. I mean, sir, you start- you've got public officials, Mayor Willie Brown, Joint Chiefs of Staff told not to fly to New York that day. That's all admitted; what do you say to that? AvB: Well, it's all admitted. So for me, since the official version- it's not credible at all, it's totally incredible. The second solution for me is a covert operation. And this is a way to influence, to brainwash the American people into long, long, ongoing conflict with the Muslim world and all that you get to, for example the oil companies, the last oil reserves which we need for the next decades before the oil age is going out. And probably behind this is a geopolitical thinking that finally China has to be taken out. China is too big and you have to be able to- this is put down in the New American Century, which has been written by a lot of people who are now in government like Cheney, like Rumsfeld and others. AJ: And now, sir, we've got to break. We're going to get into the Project for a New American Century and Operation Northwoods. Were you aware of a US government plan to carry out 9 11 style attacks? AvB: You mean, Northwoods? AJ: Yes, sir. AvB: Yeah sure I know. AJ: Is that not a key piece of evidence? AvB: Well, this is a key piece, a key piece of evidence of the thinking of probably the military in dialogue with politics. Probably, I think Kennedy decided not to do it but I think it was, it was all of the- AJ: Tell you what, stay there. We've got to break; we'll be right back folks. (Fade to music) (Commercial Break) AJ: All right my friends, I'm Alex Jones your host. For the rest of the hour we are honored to have Andreas von Bulow, former Defense Secretary and former head of technology, Department of Technology in Germany. And he's just gotten out of government a few years ago and he's just written a best selling book '9 11 and the CIA' and we have info on that at Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. We will also be posting this interview on the Website in the next few days as well. There are so many facets to this- Mr. von Bulow, continuing with you waking up to what happened on 9 11 and researching it, what are some of the other key points that clearly show that it is impossible that these nineteen people did this; we know that is a fraud. It is a conspiracy theory to say that they did it alone. From your intensive research and your understanding of high-level government activities, what do you think really happened on 9 11? AvB: Well, nobody can prove what happened 9 11 directly because it has been a covert operation and you don't find proof; you will find only indications. And one of the indications- the indication that everything is right with these nineteen people and Usama bin Laden is that the government is free to show all the prove that is on the table that is on the street that lays on the ground of the World Trade Center and so on and so on. If you have a covert operation the probability is always that the leftover pieces of proof are taken away immediately and a lot of secrecy, a band of secrecy, has taken over everything. And, this has happened with 9 11. AJ: And that also happened- where you aware the New York Times and Chicago Tribune reported this in '93, the FBI cooked the bomb and trained the driver[s] and had an Egyptian security agent doing it for them, had two retarded Muslims, literally retarded, drive the truck and park it, let the bombing go forward. At Oklahoma City, the same company that destroyed the remnants of the World Trade Center, blew up the remnants of Oklahoma City [and] had that buried under machine gun guard at a private landfill to this day. And they hauled the rubble away from the W T C to China! They wouldn't let you take photographs. Yes, exactly. AvB: Yeah, then at the beginning the engineers weren't allowed to go up to the steel truss [debris] and had a lot of problems- there was very scarce money. And you know, to clear up the story with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, the Republican majority gave out sixty million dollars, I think it's seventy now, and they started out with 600 000 dollars to try to figure out what happened on 9 11. And, they were taken away from doing research and so on and so on and they are upset. And, Fire Engineer Magazine said it was totally unbelievable what happened with this examination of 9 11. AJ: Well, they say it was a criminal cover up and now, sir, we've turned into a police state. They can secretly arrest citizens, secretly execute us. They are building admitted prison camps all over the country, this is in our news. We're turning into something like the Soviet Union here. AvB: Well, I can't comment on this but what's going on in Guantanamo is like that. I think the problem is that if you put people, who ever you like in Guantanamo in Cuba, you take them away for one or two years without letting a lawyer to them, without showing them what you are reprising to them, without having contact from their family- they tell in all court processes what the FBI is wanting from them- AJ: Well, sir- AvB: And so you get fake evidence from these kinds of people, if you behave like that. AJ: And sir, sir. Our mainstream news says that torture is good and they say they are torturing people, that's the Washington Post. Is that a concern that our government now admits it's torturing? AvB: Well, I'm informed- I don't know whether they are torturing, keeping them is a kind of a torture, but I am told there is an agreement with a lot of states to put these people to Egypt and other states where torture is accepted and is done and you get the final outcome of this torture and you can produce this in front of German courts and American courts and try to bring about final judgment. AJ: Well that's it. We'll be back; long segment coming up and we'll get more into your book. We're honored to have you, Andreas von Bulow. Stay with us. (Fade) (Commercial Break) AJ: All right folks. We're talking with Andreas von Bulow and to make this clear, up until about two years ago he was the head minister over the Department of Technology and before that he was the head of his party's group on defense. Now, we're going to take calls coming up here in just a few minutes, your chance to talk to Andreas von Bulow and the toll free number to join us on air is 1 800 259 9231. And if you read German, speak German, you can go online just type into a search engine or go to the Website and link though and buy a copy of '9 11 and the CIA.' Now, if you want my videos, 9 11 Road to Tyranny, Masters of Terror, my book '9 11 Descent into Tyranny,' go to Infowars.com, go to PrisonPlanet.com and get them. This story is so important that I authorize you to make copies of my films for not for profit, not for sale educational purposes. I want you to get them, I want you to make copies, I want you to put them on the Internet. If you've done that, I want you to air them on local community television stations which has happened on over four hundred now. Go to Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com, get 9 11 Road to Tyranny, get Masters of Terror, get my book 'Descent into Tyranny,' get Paul Watson's book 'Order Out of Chaos' that I've published, they're excellent. The toll free number to order is 1 888 253 3139. Because, if we don't expose the Globalists who clearly carried the attacks out, they're going to carry out more terror. And, they are setting up this police state; the survival of America and frankly the world is at stake because if the Globalists can use our military as their arm to attack sixty-three countries, it's over. So again, that's 1 888 253 3139. The films are 25.95 a piece, twenty buck if you buy three or more, my book is twelve dollars. Again: Inforwars.com or 'net or 1 888 253 3139. Now, going back to Andreas von Bulow, sir, we were talking during the break and I said what are some of the other key points that you would like to go over. You mentioned the CIA and insider trading and the Anthrax attacks. Please discuss it. AvB: Well, the insider trading, everybody knows that there [was] news about insider trading. I think altogether fifteen billion dollars. And, there was speculation about going down, of United Airlines and American Airlines; both airlines which were attacked by 9 11 and other things. So, normally you could find out because I think the American- the CIA together with the financial department, the Treasury, they developed this � watching the markets to find out speculation about going on terrorist attacks. So, they could immediately find out if there were something going on- and they could find out. And, in this case, they- 9 11- the NSA people which are the guys watching via satellites the whole of the transactions going on, on Earth, they said, they told the people to destroy the tapes. They had tapes about this interior trading and they said they had to destroy them so they are not any longer proof. AJ: Now again, interior trading that's a good term for it, insider trading. So again, insider trading or interior trading going on here and fifteen billion dollars, I think that's a low estimate. It came out the first week, Germany reported on it, France reported on it, the US, 'we're going to catch them!' Record put options against United and American; not against other airlines but specifically against these and it leads back to the CIA and suddenly they destroy the evidence. Again, again another smoking gun. Then, you get into anthrax attacks; Bush on Cipro, the most weaponized anthrax ever seen. Tell us about that. AvB: Well, there the question just is who has the responsibility for this! You know, it overlaid the whole public debate of what was the background and reason for 9 11 for weeks because these attacks were going on for weeks and weeks and weeks. And, finally nothing came out. We have no report on who was responsible, who did it and this again is amazing. I think it belongs probably to the cover up of the psychological cover-up of the whole scenery. And then, the vice-President and the President asking Congress not to go into too much detail about the background of 9 11. What does this mean? And until now it's what the President knew before 9 11 is a total secret. I think there is no secret service around the world which gave no hints to the American secret service community, the CIA, the DIA and so on and so on. They did nothing out of it. The most disturbing thing is that these guys that knew about something in coming up 9 11, were cutout before. I mean the local level of the FBI offices, they knew quite a lot and they tried to force the central organization to go into the details about Arabs taking lessons in flight schools and so on. And, the guy who decided on top, I think the second man who was in the FBI he [said] 'no we don't do this' and he got promoted after 9 11. AJ: By the way, the US embassies that allowed supposed Al- Qaeda back in got record cash bonuses. The FBI agents who ordered other FBI agents not to stop Al-Qaeda, they go bonuses. Bush signed W199I months before 9 11 ordering FBI not to stop Al-Qaeda. They threatened to arrest FBI Robert Wright if he tells us what he knows. I've interviewed his lawyer David Schippers who knew about the attacks beforehand. He went to Bush; Bush wouldn't talk to him, Ashcroft wouldn't talk to him. And you said something very astute, sir, you talked about the anthrax being a psychological cover-up of the scenery. That is, all these questions coming out in the early days about 9 11 got blacked out by the anthrax attacks and that's absolutely why that happened. We've tracked that back to Fort Detrick, Maryland. And they said it wasn't weaponized anthrax, it turned out it was the most weaponized ever seen. AvB: Yeah, that's absolutely correct and the wars which were reasoned to be fights against terrorism, the war against Afghanistan to put out the Taliban it was decided long before and I think in June before 9 11. The Afghanistan government- no, the Pakistan government and the Indian government [were] told there would be an intervention in October. AJ: Also, 44 000 US troops, 18 000 US troops were in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, Bush had the battle launch orders on his desk two days before 9 11. AvB: That's exact, that's exactly- AJ: And sir, I want to digress back to torture for a minute because you have been, you've impressed by, I mean you know so much about this, you've researched it so well- On the torture issue, General Rick Baucus quit Guantanamo because he quote 'refused to torture the people there' and the CIA section chief bragged in the Washington Post that they fly them to foreign countries and then the CIA tortures them themselves so they do admit the torture. AvB: (Pause) Sure. I can't comment on this [but] it's obvious; all the court proceedings against for example against Moussaui I think it was the 20th nominally- it was supposed in each aircraft to have five hijackers and this one was taken into prison by the FBI. I think the process was made in Alexandria, Virginia and I think the judge said that if you don't give the proof [of] these guys who are running Al- Qaeda and give these people for cross-examination then I can deliver a judgment. The same is true in Germany; we have people who are related to Al-Qaeda-and probably Al-Qaeda is an artificial, err, [de]nomination of- AJ: CIA fiction. AvB:- a ruse of elements of Islamic people. In Hamburg, the trials are failing because the American government is not delivering the proof. AJ: Absolutely and look, we've had military officers and many others on, it is clear that Al Qaeda is a CIA creation. A foggy boogie man so the military-industrial complex can carry out attacks and then pin it on them and I mean we know when bin Laden blows up a building supposedly, our government pays his family to rebuild it. AvB: Yeah. AJ: I mean there's the payoff right out in the open. AvB: Yeah, the whole background of- the whole personalities like bin Laden, like Al Qaeda, like Taliban, even Saddam Hussein, these are all figures that were handled by the CIA in former times. So probably they are recycled in the system now as bad guys. Before, they were the good guys taking away the Russians out of Afghanistan and dealing with this, getting money for this, getting paid for this now they are used as bad guys. Usama bin Laden has been, in '95, in the Balkans in an operation the Americans were with the UKG in Albania. You find these guys all over; you find these guys in Chechnya for example. There are also 'former Afghanis' as they are called and they are [driven] in loaded planes of the CIA for example. AJ: Absolutely so they provide the crisis so Big Brother could provide the police state solution. Andreas von Bulow it is clear that if we do not expose at least who stands to gain from this terror and who was involved in it, that is the large financial interests that own our government, they are going to be able to use America as the engine of quote imperial mobilization and world domination. As Zbigniew Brzezinski and the PNAC documents said, how important is it to expose this for the future of free humanity? AvB: I think it's, for everybody outside of the United States it's extremely important because it's a question of whether democracy will survive and whether the state of law is kept up or we'll be driven by public relations and financial interest. And I think the main thing for the Americans is who pays for all this. Because, if the oil companies get more cheap oil and make their money out of it, the American taxpayer has to pay for the military machine. The oil companies aren't paying for that. It's not the military-industrial complex paying for that, it is the American taxpayer so it's extremely important. AJ: Absolutely and now we are paying record amounts for fuel for petrol in this country while they have record supplies and the oil companies are posting record profits. I want to get into W T C 7 because I want people to hear these clips. These are from the PBS documentary, and this will just take a minute sir, and then I want to get your comment on it, where they describe how Building 7 fell and how they removed it first because quote 'nobody died in it.' It's the owner, Larry Silverstein who pulled it, gave the order to demolish it on the afternoon of September 11th, so, Mark, go ahead and hit that clip for us please.
AJ: We made the decision to pull, and we watched the building collapse. Now here's Dan Rather, seconds after it collapses and this is what Dan Rather had to say and then we'll get von Bulow's comment.
AJ: Now, again, the seismographs show multiple explosions, the firefighters were told to get back. Von Bulow, how important is this piece of evidence? AvB: The explosions, well the government has to explain it! They have to prove their case. They have to this conspiracy theory that these nineteen Muslims under the direction of Usama bin Laden. It's not my business; it's only 'if there are explosions, if it's true, can it be that the heat out of kerosene is able to destroy these huge buildings in a manner that they are collapsing in a� AJ: Symmetrical. AvB: �free-fall in a very short- in a few seconds, that they broke together. It's nearly impossible. So everything that is on the table is telling that the government story is not true. And there must be another story and it must be explosions and the spikes in geological institutions in five states, 2.2 on the Richter scale, you have to find out what's the background. And five or seven days later the temperature on the ground was five hundred degrees, or a little bit more than 450, if just fires were- AJ: We've got to break. We'll be right back. (Commercial Break) AJ: We're talking with Andreas von Bulow. Former minister at the highest levels of the German government. Former Technology Minister. And I know we have a lot of callers but we only have time to take maybe one or two, Dan in Oklahoma. I just want to commend Andreas von Bulow for writing this book 9 11 and the CIA and I would hope a publisher would get a hold of it and translate it and publish it here because I would definitely carry it. You can find information on the book for those who read and speak German at Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. Andreas von Bulow let's take a call, let's talk to Dan in Oklahoma. Dan, you're on the air go ahead. Dan: Yes, thanks Alex. Mr. von Bulow my question is following this disaster of 9 1 1, I understand Germany, France, and Russia and why they didn't want to get involved because of the money they had invested with Iraq. With the military-industrial complex like it is, what do you understand the New World Order to be especially since they said they could us this event to- AJ: Yes, who are, who are the forces behind government-sponsored terror? AvB: Who are the forces behind government? I do not understand this. AJ: Well we know this global government is forming. We know that powerful financial interests are engineering terror attacks, who are the forces behind the military industrial complex? AvB: Well, it's always interesting. If you look at who owns the munitions factory in the East-West conflict or the Near-East conflict, they are always trying to sell their material to both sides. And, they are always interested in conflict and they would like after the breakdown of the Soviet Union, the noble thing would be to cut down this military-industrial complex, which costs the American taxpayer a huge amount of money. Exactly the same time the Soviet Union breaks down, this new terror thing comes up. The first terrorist attacks were I think the World Trade Center one and you find out the leading guy of this bombing, this time an agricultural bomb, he was going immediately to FBI and saying 'I'll tell you everything about this' and they agreed finally twenty-four hours before the attack in 1993, they would change the powder, the dangerous powder against the [non] dangerous powder and the FBI didn't come up to do this so- AJ: Yeah, they cooked the bomb and trained the drivers and that's another patsy. AvB:-people were [injured] and six people were dead. In Oklahoma you had nearly the same thing. You had two attacks. One was perhaps McViegh and this other guy but there was another attack much more strong than this agricultural bomb and there is an American general, an Air Force general who for I think ten years or fifteen years in charge of this explosive institute and he said never could this agrarian bomb bring about such damage. There must be something else and they found that within the building there were demolition charges. AJ: Absolutely, Dan thanks for the call. I hope we can get you on in the future again, Andreas von Bulow, you've been so kind. You have such amazing courage to stand up and tell the truth and we've been honored to have you on the show from Germany. God bless you. AvB: Thank you. AJ: Thank you very much and have a good evening. Donn de Grand-Pre, a retired Army colonel, is author of A Window on America, Confessions of an Arms Peddler and his latest, Barbarians Inside the Gates by Donn de Grand-Pre A dedicated group of experienced civilian and military pilots, including combat fighter pilots and commercial airline captains, just finished a marathon 72 hours of non-stop briefings and debate over the current crisis evolving from the use of commercial aircraft as cruise missiles against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September. The so-called terrorist attack was in fact a superbly executed military operation against the United States, requiring the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be used as guided missiles, and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets. As a tactical military exercise against two significant targets (world financial center and the citadel of world strategic military planning), the attack, from a psychological impact on the American public, equaled the Japanese "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor 7 Dec 1941. The over-riding question: If we are at war, who is the enemy? The group determined that the enemy is within the gates, that he has infiltrated into the highest policy-making positions at the Federal level, and has absolute control, not only of the purse strings, but of the troop build-up and deployment of our military forces, including active, reserve and National Guard units. PRELUDE TO PANIC The 9-11 activity and horrific destruction of US property and lives was intentionally meant to trigger a psychological and patriotic reaction on the part of the US citizens, which is paving the way for "combined UN activity" (using the fig leaf of NATO) for striking key targets in both the Middle East/ South Asia and the Balkans. The goal continues to be ultimate destruction of all national sovereignty and establishment of a global government. The trigger for the 9-11 activity was the imminent and unstoppable world-wide financial collapse, which can only be prevented (temporarily) by a major war, perhaps to become known as WW 111. To bring it off (one more time), martial law will probably be imposed in the United States. In each of the major wars of the 20th century, the financial manipulators (located in the City of London and New York City) had placed the US (and much of the Western world) in a monetary expansion mode, followed by an ever-tightening vice of a gigantic credit squeeze. We now have two ongoing and tightly controlled simultaneous events (emanating from the two symbolic targets of 911:
This bit of saber rattling was seconded by select NATO allies (especially Britain), and by our chief ally in the Middle East, the Butcher of Beirut, Ariel Sharon, while Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld, with the blessings of Pres. Bush 11, is activating thousands of national guard and reservists, not only to guard the vulnerable airports, but to do fly-overs of our Nation's capital in F16s from the North Dakota Air Guard. Other National Guard units are being jockeyed into potential combat "hot spots" throughout the Middle East/South Asia and the Balkans. WHO IS THE ENEMY? Following is a summary of the near-unanimous views of the assembled military and civilian pilots concerning certain critical factors relating to the WTC/Pentagon hit of 9-11: Troubling questions arose about the alleged pilot-hijackers of the four aircraft, who were supposedly trained on Cessna aircraft over the past year at fields in Florida and Oklahoma. One General officer remarked, "I seriously question whether these novices could have located a target dead-on 200 miles removed from takeoff point...-- much less controlled the flight and mastered the intricacies of 11FR (instrument flight rules) -- and all accomplished in 45 minutes." The extremely skillful maneuvering of the three aircraft at near mach speeds, each unerringly hitting their targets, was superb. As one Air Force officer -- a veteran of over 100 sorties over North Vietnam -- explained, "Those birds (commercial airliners) either had a crack fighter pilot in the left seat, or they were being maneuvered by remote control." Another pilot warned that "we had better consider whether electro-magnetic pulse or radio frequency weapons were used from a command and control platform hovering over the Eastern Seaboard... I'm talkin' AWACS." Another comment: "If there was an AWACS on station over the targeted area, did it have a Global Hawk capability? I mean, could it convert the commercial jets to robotic flying missiles? A hotly debated question: Who would be in command of such an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS)? Were they Chinese -- Russians -- Saudis -- Israelis -- NATO ? All of these countries possess AWACS-type aircraft. All (except the Saudis) have the capability to utilize electro-magnetic pulsing (EMP) to knock out on-board flight controls and communications of targeted aircraft, and then, to fly them by remote control. One of the Air Force officers explained that we had already flown a robot plane the size of a Boeing 737 across the Pacific to Australia -- unmanned -- from Edwards AF13 in California to a successful landing on an Aussie base in South Australia. It flies along a pre-programmed flight path, but is "monitored" (controlled remotely) by a pilot from an outside station. He explained that the London Economist (20 Sep 2001) published comments from the former CEO of British Airways, Robert Ayling, who stated that an aircraft could be commandeered from the ground or air and controlled remotely in the event of a hijack. COMMERCIAL JETS AS GUIDED MISSILES An AP story, dateline Brussels - 7 Oct 01 -- "At Washington's request, NATO will soon deploy surveillance aircraft for anti-terrorist operations in the United States in response to the attacks on New York and Washington, NATO officials said Sunday, an unprecedented use of foreign military forces to defend the U.S. homeland." The assembled group of pilots debated why we would ask for foreign forces to fly AWACS over our sovereign territory when we have a fleet of 33 of them, of which 28 are stationed in Oklahoma. The debate also centered on whether such NATO surveillance aircraft were already here prior to 11 September. Could one of them have commandeered the four airliners? There seems to be wide discrepancies between what the Federal government is proclaiming -- and their media moguls reporting -- as opposed to the calm and reasoned and rational views of those men who fly the planes and defend the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. This writer has been a general aviation pilot since 1946. 1 have flown a variety of single engine prop aircraft since, and installed an FAA-approved airstrip here on my farm in 1980. Two local pilots periodically joined me for short hops; one, a Madison County lawyer, a graduate of the Air Force Academy, who flew for the Air Force before coming home to practice law. The other, Kent Hill, who lives with his wife, Carol, on a farm close to mine, is an American Airlines captain assigned to the European route. He was a lifelong friend of "Chic" Burlingame, They were graduates of the Naval Academy and flew F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam. Both left the Navy 28 years ago and joined American Airlines. Both planned to retire in 2002. Chic was the captain of AA flight 77, a Boeing 757, which departed Washington Dulles for Los Angeles at 8: 10 am on I I September, with 58 passengers and a crew of 6. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:41 am. "We were totally trained on the old type of hijack," Capt Hill said, "where you treat the hijacker cordially, punch a 4-digit code into your transponder to alert ground control you're being hijacked, and then get him where he wants to go, set the plane safely on the ground and let them deal with it on the ground. However, this is a totally new situation... Not one of the planes alerted ground control that they were being hijacked." How come? "The fact is, all the transponders were turned off on the doomed flights virtually at the same time." Look at their departure times -- two from Logan (Boston), one from Newark, another from Dulles (Washington DC) -- all between 8 am and 8:15. "Shortly after climb-out to flight level, their transponders are de-activated.. (they are no longer a blip on the radar screens). This is something that really needs to be looked into. The only reason we turn them off is so they don't interfere with ground systems when we land." (Note: Transponders identify a particular aircraft in flight on the radar screens of FAA flight controllers located throughout the country. Various codes are punched into the transponder, one displaying, "I am being hijacked.") Although there is much talk among the various flight crews, Hill says they are not privy to any of the investigations into the events of I I September. "We're in the dark -- very much so ... They're playing it pretty tight to the vest." He is convinced none of the pilots had control of their aircraft when they were flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The question then becomes, who was really in control? "Even if I had a gun at my head, I'd never fly a plane into a building. I'd try to put it in anywhere -- a field or a river --and I'd be searing the hell out of them (the hijackers) by flying upside down first," Hill said. In fact, the pilot has the best weapon in his hand when threatened with imminent death by a hijacker, namely, the airplane. Another airline pilot stated. "On hearing a major scuffle in the cabin, the pilot should have inverted the aircraft and the hijackers end up with broken necks." That none of the four pilots executed such a maneuver points toward the fact that none of them had control of their aircraft, but had been overridden by an outside force, which was flying them by remote control. As an old and not so bold pilot, I became more convinced that the four commercial jets were choreographed by a "conductor" from a central source, namely an airborne warning and control system (AWACS). They have the electronic capability to engage several aircraft simultaneously, knock out their on-board flight controls by EMP (electro-magnetic pulsing) and assume command and remote control of these targeted aircraft. As we consider all the options -- and enemies -- who performed this act of war, whether from China, Russia, Israel, an Islamic country, or from NATO, we must also consider that the enemy may be within the gates. If so, then we are dealing with high treason. IS THERE A CHINA - ISRAEL CONNECTION? Under a heading "High-powered Microwave weapons' (Regnery Pub 1999) reported: ', the authors of Red Dragon Rising, High-powered microwave weapons (sometimes known as radio frequency [RF] weapons) which the PLA calls the 'superstars' of warfare, represent the new armaments that may define twenty-first century warfare. These very dangerous weapons can jam electronic equipment by emitting an extremely powerful pulse of electromagnetic energy over a wide area, or their energy can be focused in a narrow beam for use against American satellites I or commercial airliners - Ed 1. In that startling and factual work, the authors highlight the exceptional efforts on the part of the PLA to acquire the latest hi-tech data from the United States, especially for the "superstars of radio frequency and electro-magnetic pulse weaponry." In their chapter on "Targeting America", the authors refer to a bipartisan Cox-Dicks Committee given the task to investigate "U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial concerns with the Peoples Republic of China". They point out that the Clinton administration changed the export control regulations (Jan 1996) and that by the end of 1998 the PRC had 600 American super computers. In 1997-98 the Congressional Joint Economic Committee held hearings on "Radio Frequency Weapons and Proliferation: Potential Impact on the Economy". Several experts appearing before the Committee warned that these weapons pose a distinct threat to the United States. It was revealed during the hearings that China (PLA) has had a high-powered microwave weapon program for 25 years under the direction of one of many Chinese students educated at Berkeley over the years. The key statement was that the PLA has access to American research -- "through espionage". Let's fast-forward to 1999 and to a New York Times Op Ed piece by A. M. Rosenthal (22 Oct 1999), in which he described the long-secret arms deals between Israel and Red China He was the managing editor of the New York Times for 15 years prior to that article appearing and a dedicated supporter of Israel. However, as a result of that article, he was fired. The title of his Op Ed was "The Deadly Cargo", and the lead sets the theme: More often now, the special cargo arrives in China from Israel -- riles from Israeli military computers, crates with the makings of missiles and other weapons, and the men in the lab coats, the engineers and scientists who know how to put it all together... And now I see the Chinese minister of defense, who is one of the ranking Tiananmen killers, visits Israel. I read obsequious Israeli speeches praising him and his government... The two countries talk openly about bigger arms deals in the making. I learn that the Chinese have knit together Russian and Israeli specialties... The Russians are converting Ilyushin planes into the framework of U.S.-type flying command posts (AWACS) and will ship them to Israel... In an astounding interview by Tom Valentine [editor of American Free Press, formerly The Spotlight and Liberty Lobby] (24 Oct 1999) on Radio Free America [GCNlive.com, WBCR 1470AM Alcoa, TN] with Andrew St. George the two developed the emerging scandal of Israel's secret arms deal with Red China. They referred to the Cox Committee hearings and stated that "unfortunately , the official Cox 'investigation' into China's capture of American technology covered up Israel's involvement." Valentine stressed that the Reagan administration allowed the trade to escalate in the 1980s, with the help and encouragement of such officials as Richard Perle, Stephen Bryen, Fred Ickle and Paul Wolfowitz ... "They were the kingpins of the Defense Department in the Reagan years." In case you missed it, they are now back as key advisers to President Bush II; in fact, the leading war hawk pressing for our armed forces to go to war against the Muslim World is the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz. We are being deluged by the current crop of Israel Firsters, all shouting "It's time to declare war". and "First war of 21st Century" ( Alan Dershowitz on CNN - William Kristol, Washington Times - Leonard Piekoff, Washington Post)), and former Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, appearing before the U.S. Congress, QUO VADIS? (Whither Goest?) To better grasp where we are heading (other than to the Khyber Pass), we can dip back to recent history (Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, Kosovo) to get a better focus of the direction we are going, even though our commander-in-chief has yet to define the specific enemy. "Terrorism is like sin; everybody is agin'it." To those of us who have actually engaged an enemy (often contrived) on the battlefield, and/or who have an-n-chaired other wars from a vantage point, say, the E-Ring of the Pentagon, the pomposity and solemnity and the speechifying of our fearless politicians, as well as their favorite talking heads on the idiot box, is eerily familiar. It is in fact de ja vous all over again. Once again, we will rely on "perpetual war for perpetual peace" to bring us out of the abyss of a major financial collapse. We either turn out the Barbarians Inside the Gates, or we prepare for the long dark night of no return. There is no longer a third option. It's curtain call at the Little Theater off Times Square... Be There! Tennessee National Guard Key Player in War on Terrorism INFORMATION RELEASE FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Release # 03-25 21 March, 2003 NASHVILLE � Nearly 3,400 Tennessee soldiers and airmen are key players in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Noble Eagle. Hundreds of Tennesseans from throughout the state are active in Southwest Asia providing airlift, engineer support, and ground transportation as they work hand in hand with their active duty counterparts. Others eagerly wait for orders as they complete their mobilization training at Fort Rucker, Fort Knox, and Fort Campbell. In addition, more than 800 Tennessee soldiers and airmen are providing Homeland Security both here at home and at active duty bases throughout the Eastern coast of the United States. "Tennessee has once again solidified its reputation as the "Volunteer State". Stated Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett, Tennessee's Adjutant General. "Morale of the troops we've deployed has never been higher. These men and women are ready to go, do the job, and come back home. They are Volunteers in the finest sense of the word." The latest mobilizations of Tennessee Army and Air National Guard troops brings the total deployed to 3, 394. Roster of Tennessee units currently serving on active duty
Senate briefed on KC-135 retirement timetable By Laura M. Colarusso Air Force officials have begun briefing congressional staffers on their plan for retiring 68 of the oldest KC-135 tankers. Staff members on the Senate Armed Services Committee were told Jan. 16 that in fiscal 2004, the Air Force will retire 12 KC-135Es. In 2005 and 2006, the service will retire 41 and 8 tankers, respectively, according to the Congressional Tanker Roadmap Update briefing dated Jan. 15. House committee members were briefed Jan. 15. The original plans had called for 37 tankers to retire this year, but the 2004 defense authorization bill prohibited the Air Force from getting rid of more than 12. To make up for the difference, officials had to move retirement of 25 jets to 2005, which was supposed to see only 16 tankers put out to pasture. As the E-model tankers are retired from Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units, the Air Force will transfer newer R-models from the active duty to the reserve components. Pennsylvania guard and Michigan Reserve units will receive the first of those in February 2004, the briefing also states. The Air Force will hold off on retiring any beyond the 68 until a replacement aircraft is identified, said a source familiar with the program. Officials had hoped Congress would have approved the controversial Boeing 767 tanker lease by now so the Air Force could begin receiving KC-135E replacements by 2006.

Spec-ops general who arrested Saddam retiring in cloud of secrecy By Rod Hafemeister SAN ANTONIO � One of the Air Force's top special operators is leaving the service under a cloud of secrecy. Brig. Gen. Lyle M. Koenig Jr. is officially a special assistant to the director of intelligence and operations, U.S. Special Operations Command, but is "in transition" � on terminal leave pending retirement, an Air Force spokesman said. Even that admission came only after two weeks of questions to the Air Force and the command about reports Koenig had been relieved as deputy commanding general of the Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, N.C. There are "no ongoing investigations at this time" concerning Koenig, the spokesman said, but no other information would be released without filing a Freedom of Information Act request. Where Koenig has been and what prompted his retirement remains unclear. He could not be reached for comment. As recently as the Dec. 15 issue of The New Yorker magazine, Koenig was named by veteran reporter Seymour Hersh as commanding Task Force 121, the team of Delta Force, Navy SEALs and CIA operators involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein. A Sept. 19, 2002, memorandum from the Air Force Senior Leader Management Office listed Koenig as moving from his job as special assistant to the commander, Air Force Special Operations Command, to become deputy commanding general of JSOC, effective Feb. 1, 2003. But although there is a release announcing that Air Force Brig. Gen. Gregory L. Trebon was leaving as JSOC deputy in January 2003 to take command of Special Operations Command Pacific, no Defense Department release could be found announcing Koenig was taking his place. Nor could a release be found announcing who replaced Koenig, reported to be Air Force Brig. Gen. David J. Scott, former commander at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., and Koenig's immediate predecessor as commander of the 16th Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field. Both Koenig's and Scott's biographies are missing from the Air Force's online library. Rod Hafemeister can be reached at (210) 658-6400 or [email protected]. Widow of Soldier in Jessica Lynch Unit Blasts Bush By Jim Forsyth CENTER POINT, Texas (Reuters) - At a ceremony on Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the Iraqi attack on Pvt. Jessica Lynch's Army unit, the widow of a soldier who died in the fight blasted President Bush for "lying to America" to justify the Iraq war. In bitter comments beside the grave of Army Specialist James Kiehl, widow Jill Kiehl accused Bush of fabricating reasons to launch the invasion that toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "The evidence that's starting to come out now feels like he (Bush) was misleading us," Kiehl said, holding the couple's 10-month-old son Nathaniel, born seven weeks after his father died. "It's almost as though he had things fixed so it would look like he needed to go to war," she said. James Kiehl, a 22-year-old computer engineer, was one of 11 members of the 507th Maintenance Company killed when their convoy took a wrong turn at Nassiriya in southern Iraq on March 23, 2003 and were attacked by Iraqi fighters. Seven others were captured, including Lynch, who was held for nine days before U.S. troops rescued her from a hospital. Several members of the unit, not including Lynch, attended the ceremony in Center Point, 35 miles northwest of San Antonio. Jill Kiehl described herself as "bitter" about Bush's decision to declare war on Iraq. "It's upsetting that he (Bush) would have lied to America to get what he wanted," Kiehl said. "In a way, it's like he used people. That's how I feel. I think the reasons for going over there were bogus and misleading." Bush justified the invasion on grounds that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to Al Qaeda, the Islamic extremist group blamed for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. So far, no such weapons have been found and little evidence of Al Qaeda connections has turned up. Soldier Information Websites May Be Used To Pinpoint Troops TENNESSEE NATIONAL GUARD Randy D.

Services might include web mail, instant messaging, discussion groups, publicity pages, or other means to encourage transmission of information. Some of the more exotic sites offer flight planning services which can not only tie units to particular operating areas, but can also provide indicators of future activities based on visitors' interests. One other common denominator, and perhaps the most dangerous, is that most of these sites require very specific personally identifying information as a condition of membership--names of military and/or dependents, social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, military rank or affiliation, and even the occasional credit card number. This information can be used to build files for future attempts at identity theft or perhaps espionage. Be wary of public sites that ask for such information and avoid if at all possible.

Judge Halts Forced Military Anthrax Shots By PAULINE JELINEK WASHINGTON (AP)�Saying American soldiers should not be used as "guinea pigs for experimental drugs," a federal judge Monday ordered the Pentagon to stop mandatory anthrax vaccinations started in 1998. U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said he was convinced by plaintiffs in a class action suit that the vaccine is experimental and being "used for an unapproved purpose" - that is, for exposure to airborne anthrax as well as exposure through the skin. Officials at the Defense Department and Food and Drug Administration said they had not seen the ruling and had no immediate comment. But the federal government has long maintained that the licensed vaccine is safe, is not experimental and can be used for protection against anthrax inhaled or absorbed through the skin. More than 900,000 servicemen and women have received the shots, among the millions of doses of various vaccines administered annually to protect troops against disease and bioterror threats. Hundreds of service members have been punished or discharged for refusing them, according to the Pentagon. "The women and men of our armed forces put their lives on the line every day to preserve and safeguard the freedoms that all Americans cherish and enjoy," Sullivan said in Monday's 34-page ruling. "Absent an informed consent or presidential waiver, the United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs," Sullivan said. In granting the preliminary injunction, Sullivan ordered the government to file responses by Jan. 30. Anthrax is a naturally occurring bacterium that typically affects sheep and cattle. When inhaled, dry anthrax spores can be deadly to humans. The federal government approved the vaccine three decades ago. But plaintiffs - unidentified active duty, National Guard and civilian defense employees - say the license was only for exposure through the skin, and that it may not be safe. Sullivan's ruling said the label on the vaccine does not specify which method of anthrax exposure it protects against. He cited a 1998 law prohibiting the use of new drugs or those unapproved for their intended use unless people being given the drug consent to its use or the president waives the consent requirement. Congress passed the law amid fears that the use of such drugs may have led to unexplained illnesses - which have come to be known as Gulf War Syndrome - among veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The anthrax vaccine itself has been approved since the 1970s and used regularly to protect veterinarians and scientists working with anthrax. Believing Iraq and other nations had produced anthrax weapons, former Secretary of Defense William Cohen in 1997 ordered the armed forces immunized. While the government does not recommend vaccinating the general public, it says the vaccine overall is very safe, with rare severe side effects such as dangerous allergic reactions. But hundreds of military personnel have refused the shots, worried they could be connected to complaints of chronic fatigue, memory loss and other problems. A leaflet inserted with the product, which originally stated that adverse reaction occurred in 0.2 percent of cases, was recently revised to reflect a rate between 5 percent and 35 percent, the ruling said. It said there have been at least six deaths linked to the vaccine. The 0.2 percent rate came from an earlier government report that there were only 105 serious reactions in over 830,000 recipients, the ruling said without giving details. The program was started to vaccinate all 2.4 million members of the active and reserve military, but was radically reduced after factory violations by the nation's sole vaccine manufacturer resulted in dwindling supplies. The FDA cleared Lansing, Mich.-based BioPort's manufacturing plant in January of 2002 to produce the vaccine and to resume shipments. After a three-month study considering the new domestic need, previous supply problems and other issues, the Pentagon decided to give the shots only to troops, essential civilians and contractors who are assigned for more than 15 days to "higher threat" areas of the world. Officials declined to identify those areas. Nor would they say how many troops would be given the vaccine. It is likely that these areas include the Persian Gulf and the Korean peninsula.
Mutiny by Air National Guard pilots - Commander relieved of command PBS News Hour The military gives Anthrax vaccinations to each of its members. But some don't want it -- and think the vaccine is worse than the risk of the disease. Betty Ann Bowser reports. The Health Unit is a partnership with the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Pentagon orders the vaccine BETTY ANN BOWSER: Two years ago the Pentagon ordered all two and a half million of its active duty and reserve personnel to take that vaccine by the year 2003. To be fully inoculated they must take six shots over an 18-month period -- then an annual booster. But a growing number of people are opposed to the Pentagon's mandatory policy. They say the vaccine isn't safe and doesn't work. Those fears have led to resignations, courts-martial and less than honorable discharges from the military. BETTY ANN BOWSER: Jason Austin was a 24-year-old Marine corporal in California when he and four buddies first started hearing those kinds of rumors about anthrax. They finally refused to take the shots. That got him and his four friends a court-martial, 30-days in the brig, and a bad conduct discharge. JASON AUSTIN: The more information we got leading up to our court martial, the more we were glad that we made the decision we made. BETTY ANN BOWSER: Some of the strongest resistance has come from pilots in the Air Reserve and National Guard; they are an important part of America's fighting force these days, because the Pentagon depends on the Reserve and Guard soldiers to fly 50 percent of all its missions. Many Air and National Guard pilots are also commercial airline pilots who worry side effects from the shots could affect their performance in both cockpits -- pilots like Col. Tom Heemstra. LT. COL. TOM HEEMSTRA: When we're flying high performance airplanes -- F 16's at low altitude and rugged terrain and high speeds and very demanding missions -- we don't need memory loss or dizziness or some of the symptoms that are associated with this shot. BETTY ANN BOWSER: Heemstra was a wing commander in the Indiana National Guard, but he lost his command when he refused to take the anthrax shots. He told a congressional subcommittee that hundreds of pilots want to transfer out of the cockpit rather than take the shots. LT. COL. TOM HEEMSTRA: There are over 500 pilots that will walk out the door over this shot. Congressional hearings BETTY ANN BOWSER: Congress has become so concerned with the pilot departures and military readiness, that it has held nearly a dozen hearings about the vaccine. REP. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS: How many are leaving? In some Air Guard units, attrition among pilots and technicians may be as high as 30-percent. But DOD appears unable or unwilling to discern a trend. BETTY ANN BOWSER: General Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard, testified that the number of pilot resignations have been exaggerated. National Guard pilots mutiny over Anthrax bounty $100,000 re-enlistment bonus unable to trick pilots with killer Anthrax shots PAT ROSS Good morning Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. I am here at the request of the committee to highlight the loss of combat mission ready pilots and aircrew caused by the Department of Defense Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. I believe I am qualified to address this subject based on my graduation from the United States Air Force Academy, my 16 years as a fighter pilot in the active duty Air Force, and my 3 years in the Air National Guard. Most recently, I was the Squadron Commander of the 172nd Fighter Squadron, Battle Creek, Michigan, flying the A-10 Thunderbolt II. During my tenure as Squadron Commander, I was honored to respond, with my squadron, to a Presidential Selective Reserve Call-up in support of Operation Allied Force over Kosovo. For our efforts, the 172nd Fighter Squadron was recently honored as the Outstanding Air National Guard Fighter Squadron of 1999 by both the National Guard Association of the United States and the Air Force Association. However, less than a few months after earning these awards, I was directly involved in the process that played out over a six to eight month period resulting in the loss of almost 50% of the combat pilots in my unit. I will not only address these losses, but the on-going punishment and coercion of members of the Air National Guard who have refused to voluntarily submit to receiving the anthrax vaccination, particularly at Battle Creek, Michigan. In the interest of saving time, I will not list here the chronology of events and policy changes that my unit went through from September of 1999 until today. Rather, I refer you to my written testimony and the previous testimony to this committee by Major Russell Dingle and Major Thomas Rempfer in March and October 1999, concerning the loss of 25% of the combat pilots in the Connecticut Air National Guard. With an almost uncanny accuracy, that same chronology, coercion, threats of punishment and lack of integrity witnessed by the Connecticut officers, occurred at Battle Creek, exactly one year later. The bottom line for my squadron, as directed by the 110th Fighter Wing Commander, was you either volunteer to take the anthrax vaccination or you must leave the unit. The 110th Fighter Wing Staff Judge Advocate stated that any member, who refused to take the shot, would be administratively discharged with a Less than Honorable discharge. To this day, not one pilot at Battle Creek was ever ordered to take the anthrax vaccine. While the threatened deadline changed several times from January to March 2000, pilots began resigning, transferring or stating their intent to retire, as early as November of 1999. When the final retirement is effective at the end of this year, 15 pilots will have been coerced to leave the unit in order not to disobey an order that was never given. Add to those losses two current members of the 172nd Fighter Squadron who are grounded, and are being threatened with punitive action, simply for not volunteering to take the anthrax vaccinations that are no longer required by DOD policy. That brings the total number of pilots, that the American taxpayers spent millions of dollars to train, and whose Operations Desert Storm and Allied Force combat experience cannot be replaced, to 17 pilots at Battle Creek. The effects of the anthrax vaccine immunization program on my unit are, unfortunately, not unique. As I stated earlier, the Connecticut ANG lost 8 pilots. Other losses around the Air National Guard include 21 pilots of the Indiana Air National Guard, 7 pilots of the Wisconsin Air National Guard, 22 pilots from the Tennessee Air National Guard and 19 pilots from the Oklahoma Air National Guard. Losses in the Air Force Reserve include 58 pilots from Travis AFB, California, 60 pilots at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, 30 pilots at McChord AFB, Washington and 20 pilots at McGuire AFB, New Jersey. These losses, totaling over 260 pilots, at over $1 billion dollars in training costs alone, are from just 12% of the units in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. That's an almost 10 fold negative return on the total cost of the AVIP program to date. None of these losses have been reported to the Congress, as directed to MGen. Weaver by Representative Shays, during testimony to his subcommittee in April of 1999. In addition, Assistant Secretary of Defense Cragin also testified that no one would be punished if they chose to leave the Guard or Reserve. Not only are two members of the Michigan Air National Guard being punished, but also two members of the Indiana Air National Guard, who are being threatened with jail time. While I have focused on the pilots of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve today, I would be deeply remiss if I did not mention the men and women Non-Commissioned Officers that have also been coerced into leaving or are being punished as well. As the backbone of our Armed Forces, these men and women are the true strength of the United States military. In many cases, they are bearing the brunt of the illnesses, administrative punishments, fines and less than honorable discharges. Why have all these individuals left the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve rather than take the anthrax vaccine? I believe it simply boils down to one word, trust. They feel they can no longer trust the leadership when they say that the vaccine is safe and effective. They feel they can no longer trust the leadership that if they should become ill due to the vaccine that they will be taken care of by the country they are prepared to give their life for. They feel they can no longer trust the leadership when they are told to get educated and research the issues and then make their own personal decision, with no retribution. The actions of the leadership are in direct conflict with their statements to the troops, and to Congress. Morale has always been crucial to providing the overwhelming margin of victory for our Armed Forces during the conflicts we have fought and won throughout our history. The anthrax vaccine immunization program is having an extremely adverse effect on morale and retention, and for the good of the United States Armed Forces, the program should be halted until the concerns of the Congress are satisfactorily addressed, and a safe and effective source of vaccine can be assured. On behalf of the men and women who keep this great country of ours free, I thank you again, Mr. Chairman, and members of the committee, for your concern. See Also:
Guardsman given discharge, jail for refusing anthrax shots Homeland Security Emergency Healthcare Powers Acts legalized killing US civilians who refuse forced "vaccinations" December 14, 2003 Spc. Kurt Hickman leaves Beightler Armory after his court-martial. His attorney, Kenneth Levine, right, said Hickman will appeal. The first Army Ohio National Guard member charged for refusing to take the anthrax vaccine was sentenced yesterday to 40 days in jail and a bad conduct discharge. Spc. Kurt Hickman, 20, had worried about health risks of the vaccine, but Military Judge Col. Emmett Moran said at the end of the court-martial at Beightler Armory that putting on the guard uniform can be a health risk. Disobeying a lawful order also endangers others, Moran said. "Discipline is the thread of the fabric that holds the military together," said Moran, who also is a lawyer at the Davis & Young law firm in Cleveland. "We don't make policy, we follow it. We don't make democracy, we protect it." Kenneth Levine, Hickman's attorney, said he will file an appeal. Hickman and his parents referred all questions to Levine. "We are disappointed, and the government and the National Guard should be ashamed," said Levine, of Blue Bell, Pa. "This is the first time a National Guardsman has been confined for not taking the anthrax vaccine." Top officers over Hickman's unit will review the court-martial early next week and either accept, reject or reduce all or part of the judge's recommended sentence. Those officers also will determine when and where Hickman, of Granville, will serve it � although officials said it would be in a civilian jail. Hickman also will have to repay some tuition money and bonuses for the two years he has been in the Guard. The amount has not yet been determined. Levine argued that the order for Hickman to be vaccinated was unlawful because a Defense Department memo requiring activated guardsmen to be inoculated had expired on Nov. 13, a year after it was issued. Hickman was ordered to take the vaccine on Nov. 22. Moran acknowledged that the letter was outdated, but said the order was lawful because it corresponds to other Defense policies: The department has been requiring the shots since 1999. More than 900,000 members of the armed forces, including at least 2,700 Ohio National Guard members, have had the anthrax vaccine. In 1999, five Ohio Air National Guard members based in Cincinnati were discharged for refusing it. During the sentencing phase of the trial, Levine introduced newspaper articles about studies that found negative side effects of the vaccine. A 2002 survey by the General Accounting Office found that 85 percent of Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard troops vaccinated against anthrax between 1998 and 2000 suffered effects that included headaches, muscle aches, dizziness and difficulty breathing. Hickman was ordered to take the vaccine because his unit, the 196 th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, was preparing to be deployed to Iraq in January. The Defense Department requires troops going to high-risk areas for more than 15 days to be vaccinated against germ warfare. Hickman, a junior journalism major at Ohio University, was given two chances to take the vaccine and refused both times. He did not testify about his decision but said he was eager to serve his country: "I thought it was an exciting opportunity." Maj. Neal O'Brien, commander of Hickman's unit, testified that he counseled Hickman on the vaccine's safety and the ramifications of disobeying a lawful order, and allowed him to talk to doctors about the vaccine. O'Brien said that Hickman was an efficient guardsman but is a poor candidate for rehabilitation because he does not follow orders. "On the battlefield, he will not have the option to ask others which orders are lawful and which are not," O'Brien said. [email protected]
Vaccination may have caused soldier's death Alleged experts allege link is not conclusive By Deborah Funk One or more vaccines may have triggered the illness that led to the death of a 22-year-old soldier this year, Pentagon officials said. Two separate panels of civilian medical experts investigated four cases of severe illness, including three deaths, among service members. They concluded there was a likely � but not definitive � link between vaccines and onset of an underlying and undiagnosed autoimmune disorder that led to lung damage in Army Spc. Rachel Lacy, killing her in roughly a month. The panels are under the auspices of the Defense Department's Armed Forces Epidemiological Board and the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. "The panels determined that the evidence favored a causal relationship between vaccination and illness, leading to this soldier's death, but that the evidence is not conclusive," said Dr. William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant secretary of defense for health affairs. Neither group could identify one vaccine as a possible cause, he said. None of the other cases examined was linked to vaccines, defense officials said. Lacy, an Army Reserve combat medic and nursing student, received multiple shots March 2 to prepare to deploy to the Persian Gulf. They included anthrax, smallpox, hepatitis B, typhoid VI, and measles, mumps and rubella. She died April 4. Moses Lacy, the soldier's father, believes vaccines, particularly for anthrax and smallpox, killed his daughter. "I'm satisfied now that what I felt was correct," said Lacy, of Lynwood, Ill. "Where I go from here, I don't know. I feel that maybe multiple vaccinations shouldn't be administered so closely. If a person is going to have a reaction to a vaccine, how do you know [to] which one?" More than 900,000 troops were given the anthrax vaccine and 515,000 have received the smallpox vaccine, Winkenwerder said. "We have a very rigorous adverse-event monitoring and safety assessment program," Winkenwerder said. "We take the responsibility of monitoring and reporting on adverse events seriously." Officials will analyze their databases and conduct other reviews to investigate how many vaccines are safe to give at the same time. The federal Institute of Medicine has concluded it is safe to give multiple vaccinations to infants, who have a less mature immune system than adults. But military officials admit there is limited hard science regarding the safety of multiple vaccinations. "We have no reason to believe it's not safe, but we think we should gather the explicit data to show that it's safe," said Army Col. John Grabenstein, deputy director of the Military Vaccine Agency. Lacy's case prompted defense officials to ask experts to look at a possible connection between vaccinations and serious illness. Hers was the only case in which investigators drew a link. The other three cases they looked at involved a service member who died of pulmonary embolism; a member who died a week after vaccination after overdosing on benzodiazepine, a category of drugs that includes Valium; and another who had atrial fibrillation but survived, Grabenstein said. Vaccine link to Gulf War syndrome From correspondents in London AUSTRALIA - Gulf War Syndrome was probably caused by vaccines administered to soldiers before their departure to the region, according to a medical report whose findings are published in today's edition of The Times newspaper. The confidential report by senior army specialist Lieutenant Colonel Graham Howe, who examined a British soldier who suffered osteoporosis and depression after the Gulf War, found that "secret" injections he received before his expected deployment to the Gulf "most probably led to the development of autoimmune-induced osteoporosis". The theory has extra credibility because the soldier in question, ex-Corporal Alex Izett, did not end up going to the Gulf. His regiment, based in Germany, was not deployed there. Last year Izett was granted a 50 per cent invalidity pension by the British War Pensions Agency, The Times reports. The defence ministry, while denying the vaccine claim, has not challenged that award. A copy of the medical report, dated September 22, 2001, but never made public, was revealed to the paper by Izett himself. Gulf War Syndrome is a term popularly applied to a vast range of symptoms, from memory loss, chronic fatigue and dizziness to swollen joints, depression and lack of concentration. About 100,000 US troops, as well as thousands of British, Canadian and French troops who took part in the 1990-1991 operation against Iraq, have reported one or more of these problems. But the British Government has refused to recognise the existence of Gulf War syndrome. Veterans' groups on both sides of the Atlantic are convinced that a host of physical and psychological ailments are linked to military service during the 1991 war. About 45,000 British soldiers who served in the war were given wide-ranging vaccinations to help them cope with the possible effects of chemical or biological attack, which some doctors give as a reason for the host of symptoms the soldiers have displayed. Agence France-Presse Pentagon Advisers Review Troop Vaccine Safety Biological Weapons By David Ruppe WASHINGTON � A U.S. Defense Department advisory board is reviewing the military's practice of giving soldiers multiple, simultaneous vaccinations to protect them from certain biological agents and natural diseases. Ellen Embrey, deputy assistant secretary of defense for force health protection and readiness, last October requested the review by the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board (AFEB), which is composed of top civilian experts from around the country. The board is expected to present its findings at a regular meeting next month. The request was made while a subcommittee of the board and another panel were investigating a possible relationship between military-administered vaccines and the illnesses or deaths of four personnel. Both panels in November concluded that vaccination might have triggered the April 2003 death of 22-year-old Army Reservist Specialist Rachel Lacy (see GSN, Nov. 19, 2003). In March last year, she received five vaccinations � against anthrax, hepatitis B, measles-mumps-rubella, smallpox and typhoid fever � at the time she was mobilized for service in Afghanistan. The panels said they could not conclude whether a particular vaccination was a trigger in Lacy's death, as the vaccines were administered simultaneously. In their publicly released findings, they did not address whether Lacy's illness may have been triggered by complications from receiving the vaccinations concurrently. "To take it to the 'Epi' Board means there is somebody who is very concerned about it," said AFEB member John Glen Morris, a University of Maryland Medical School professor and chairman of the school's Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine. Concern Over Anthrax Vaccine Military officials called Lacy's case rare, citing a long-standing military practice of giving multiple, simultaneous vaccinations, noting that other soldiers in her unit had received the same vaccinations, and saying that there have been no other cases like Lacy's. According to the Pentagon, more than 900,000 personnel have received the anthrax vaccine and 500,000 have been inoculated against smallpox. Some independent experts have questioned whether U.S. military vaccinations were responsible for other serious illnesses among U.S. forces. The military has not changed any of its vaccination policies, including that of giving multiple, concurrent vaccinations, as a result of the panel's determination in the Lacy case. "At this point, we know of no objective evidence sufficient to warrant a change in the immunization practices common in both military and civilian clinics," the Pentagon said in a Nov. 19 statement. As evidence of safety, officials point to a review of scientific evidence released by the U.S. Institute of Medicine in February 2002 that concluded that concurrent administration of common vaccines was safe for children. There have in recent years, however, been numerous investigations in the United Kingdom into the safety of concurrent immunizations given to military personnel. For at least five years, the Defense Ministry has been investigating possible health effects from concurrent vaccinations and tablets given for protection against biological and chemical warfare and natural diseases during the 1991 Gulf War. A senior British defense official last October disclosed that British health authorities as late as 1999 advised against administering the anthrax vaccine with others, and the British Medicines Control Agency earlier found no evidence for safe use of the anthrax vaccine in combination with others. In 1998, the Defense Ministry temporarily halted the concurrent administration of the anthrax vaccine (see GSN, Oct. 20, 2003). Other findings, however, have concluded there was no evidence suggesting anthrax vaccines should be administered alone. Preliminary conclusions from research on marmosets, a small primate, presented by a Defense Ministry laboratory last year, found no acute short-term health consequences resulted from administration of pyridostigmine bromide, a nerve agent pretreatment drug, and 10 vaccines, including those for anthrax, pertussis and plague. The issue is now under review by the U.S. AFEB because "there's not a cut-and-dried answer," Morris said. Army Study The U.S. military currently is facing a high-profile lawsuit by six anonymous personnel who oppose the mandatory anthrax vaccinations and are charging that the vaccine is unsafe and should only be considered as "investigational" for protection against inhalation anthrax (see GSN, Jan. 8). Col. John Grabenstein of the U.S. Army Surgeon General's office said last month that no single vaccine has been singled out as a particular concern for multiple vaccinations in the U.S. research. "Anthrax vaccine, which is an FDA-licensed vaccine, will receive the same scrutiny as all other vaccines. There is no scientific basis for doing otherwise," he said. He said the Pentagon also is planning to conduct its own study of concurrent immunization safety using military databases of inpatient and outpatient visits. U.S. Army Makes Exceptions To Anthrax Shots Rule By THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, Courant Staff Writer The U.S. Army has sent to Iraq at least four soldiers who have refused to bevaccinated against anthrax, despite the Pentagon's long-held insistence that the vaccine is mandatory for all service members assigned to areas of combat or probable terrorism. The deployments by base commanders in Indiana, Kentucky, New York and Wisconsin has led Pentagon critics to question the seriousness of the anthrax threat and the fairness of penalties meted out by the armed services earlier for scores of service members nationwide who refused the vaccine. "This is the first hint that a few courageous operational commanders are beginning to exercise judgment, and are acknowledging what Pentagon leaders will not - that the anthrax threat was simply political hype that is no longer worth losing good soldiers over," John Richardson said. Richardson is a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and Gulf War veteran who has been a leaders nationwide in seeking an end to the anthrax program. "The questions raised are, number one, is the vaccine really necessary; and, number two, whether the harsh penalties against the dissenters was really fair," said state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who conceded the military has broad discretion in decisions over whether to punish service members. Several years ago, Blumenthal called for a suspension of the vaccine program. The program to vaccinate all 2.4 million service members, which started in 1998, has been embroiled in controversy since former Defense Secretary William Cohen ordered it. The vaccine was initially licensed in 1970 for human skin contact with infected animals, not for use against manufactured anthrax spores fired or sprayed to disable and kill when breathed. The vaccine's reported adverse reaction rate has jumped from 0.2 percent to 5 to 35 percent since its wider use by the military. "Unfortunately, other commanders are still willing to court-martial and dishonorably discharge [those who refuse the vaccine] rather than risk their next [command] promotion," Richardson said. He and others challenging the vaccine argue it has been proven unsafe and illegal. Three of the four soldiers were charged between December and January with disobeying a direct order to take the vaccine, but the Army dropped its prosecution in favor of deploying them. The fourth was charged over a year ago before he was sent to Iraq. Decisions to drop the prosecution in favor of deploying them were made by the soldiers' unit commanders in conjuction with higher command headquarters. One of the four deployed soldiers, an Ohio National Guardsman, had been court martialed for refusing the order to take the vaccine, but his 40 days in the stockade, drop in rank and dishonorable discharge have been put on hold while he serves in Iraq as a public affairs specialist. Spec. Kurt Hickman got a reprieve earlier this year after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily barred the military from continuing any anthrax vaccinations. Hickman's penalty was put on hold and he was reassigned to Camp Atterbury in Indiana, where he once again was ordered to take the vaccine. He refused, and again was charged with a refusal to obey a direct order. But, said Ohio National Guard spokesman James Sims, the Camp Atterbury commander, Lt. Col. Kenneth D. Newlin intervened and the charge was dropped. Newlin allowed Hickman, a videographer, to be sent to Iraq with the 196th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, part of the First Army. Maj. Michael Brady, a spokesman for Camp Atterbury, said commanders now "are looking at this [anthrax vaccination situation] on a case by case basis." Three other servicemen, one assigned to Fort Drum in New York, another to the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, and the third to another First Army unit at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin were also charged with insubordination for refusing the vaccine. In each case, the charge was deferred indefinitely and the soldier was ordered to Iraq. One of those, Sgt. Richard Norris, an eight-year Army veteran with the 101st, has already returned from a year's service in Iraq. "I was refusing because of all the research I've done that it [the vaccine] wasn't safe and it wasn't legal," Norris said. "I told them I didn't want to avoid service overseas. They said, OK, you can be deployed. ... Now I'm pretty frustrated with it, because since I refused the shot, I've been pending punishment, and I haven't been able to go up in rank." It could not be determined how many other service members who have refused the vaccine have also been ordered to Iraq. James Turner, a Pentagon spokesman, said the defense department collects data only on those service members who refuse to take the vaccine and are either disciplined and removed from the service, or resign to avoid the drug. Those figures, say service members challenging the vaccine, have been minimized by officials bent on hiding the problem Asked why these particular service members were not prosecuted or punished and scores of others were, Turner replied: "Military discipline is a matter for the appropriate command. It would be totally inappropriate for me to comment on these matters. I recommend that you address your questions to the appropriate military departments." Gulf Wars Wounded "Held Captive" at Walter Reed Army Hospital Disabled Vets Fire Back at Rumsfeld By DAVID VEST The organization known as Disabled American Veterans has been helping U.S. combat casualties figure out what benefits they have coming to them and how to apply for them since 1920. Lately the Bush administration has been going out of its way to make the DAV's job harder. Their job would be hard enough even if the government appreciated their efforts and was glad to see them coming. Incredibly, it doesn't and it isn't. Not any more. An army of U.S. veterans more than twice the size of Operation Iraqi Freedom have lost their health insurance benefits since Bush took office. As many as half a million vets are homeless. Seven VA hospitals are being closed as part of an effort to "restructure" the Department of Veterans Affairs. Meanwhile, veterans of the Iraq campaign can fall in line with over 250,000 U.S. veterans who are already waiting at least six months to see a doctor. Although it hasn't hesitated to send them to face death in Iraq, the administration has consistently opposed any attempt to extend full benefits to Reservists and National Guardsmen, twenty percent of whom have no health insurance by General Accounting Office estimates. It was one thing when the White House tried to roll back increases in monthly imminent-danger pay and family separation allowance, and another when it called a modest proposal to increase the sum given to families of soldiers who die on active duty "wasteful and unnecessary." Finally, it occurred to the firm of Bush Cheney Rumsfeld Rice Minions and Myrmidons to wonder how much money the country would save (and how much more could be diverted to Bechtel and Halliburton contracts) if veterans couldn't even find out what their benefits are. And so now we learn that ever since Operation Iraqi Freedom got underway, it has been easier for a terrorist to get into the United States legally than for a DAV representative to get into a military hospital to help wounded soldiers with their benefit applications. Sickeningly, the Pentagon has been severely limiting DAV access to wounded veterans and doing it on grounds of "security." Oh, yes, and protecting "privacy." It protects the veterans' privacy by not allowing them to speak with DAV representatives "unmonitored." Fortunately someone blinked and it wasn't the Disabled American Veterans. When he got back to the office after celebrating New Year's and opened his mail, Donald Rumsfeld found a letter informing him that he had messed with the wrong people this time. Here's part of what DAV Washington Headquarters Executive Director David W. Gorman had to say to the Secretary of Defense: "At one facility in particular [Walter Reed Army Medical Center] our efforts to visit with wounded patients have been severely restricted. For example, all requests to visit patients must now be made through the WRAMC headquarters office, which then selects the patients we may visit and strictly limits information about the patients, even the patient's name and the nature of the injury is withheld without express permission. The DAV's representatives also are escorted at all times while in the facility, and all contact with patients is closely monitored by the escort. This is particularly unnerving and inappropriate as all conversations between a representative and client are confidential in nature. "I believe these overly broad restrictions on patient access inhibit the ability of our professional accredited representatives to help ensure these wounded service members have the vital information they and their families need in order to obtain the medical care and benefits many of these veterans will depend on for decades to come. "The American public would be outraged if these restrictions became public knowledge." [Would they? Hard to tell. There has been little or no coverage in the mainstream media since the DAV released the letter.] Gorman goes on to say: "The record of benefits awarded by the VA shows our honored wounded and injured are getting less than they are rightfully entitled. Those wounded and disabled in service to our nation should not be held captive and deprived of the knowledge that would allow them to receive all their rightful benefits, earned on a battlefield half a world away. It brings great dishonor to our nation to learn of disabled veterans suffering physical and economic hardships following their release from medical treatment solely because they are unaware and uninformed of their rightful benefits." Think of it ... wounded veterans "held captive" ... prevented from seeing people who have a congressional charter to serve them ... not allowed to speak with DAV reps in private, lest their "privacy" be violated ... an administration that regards Disabled American Veterans as security risks. A government increasingly unable to tell the difference between terrorists and its own citizens. David Vest writes the Rebel Angel column for CounterPunch.

On Tuesday, a section of the the 134th Air Refueling Wing fleet of KC-135 Stratotankers left McGhee Tyson National Guard Air Base for an undisclosed location. The planes may now be flying above the Middle East delivering thousands of gallons of fuel to American and allied aircraft. Specifics of the unit's location are classified for security reasons. During the first Gulf War, the unit spent months in the Persian Gulf area fueling the aircraft that helped liberate Kuwait. Other planes in the fleet will remain in Knoxville to continue with refueling missions critical to homeland defense. Security at the base will remain at a heightened level, a spokeswoman said. Wherever they're located, the crews and their support staff will be working nearly around the clock to keep America's warplanes in the air. "We know once this war gets started it's going to be an all-hands-on-deck effort," said wing commander Col. John Keenan. Meanwhile, another group of Tennessee National Guardsmen will support the mission with assets from space. The 119th Command and Control Squadron became the first National Guard unit in the country to become integrated into the U.S. Space Command. By coordinating with the U.S Space Command in Colorado, the unit can provide troops in the field with up-to-the-minute communications and imagery that will help lift the proverbial fog of war. Military experts consider the American's complete control of space to be one of its most significant contributions when it engages in conflicts in far-flung parts of the world. The only Marine Reserve unit to be called to active duty in the state is in California undergoing last-minute training as it awaits a deployment to Kuwait and then possibly into Iraq. The 4th Medical Battalion is a forward-deployable medical unit that is trained to respond to chemical, biological and nuclear warfare. The unit's expertise would be critical if Saddam Hussein unleashes any weapon of mass destruction against allied forces, Iraqis or neighboring countries. Units like the Marine Reserve 4th Combat Engineer and the Army Reserve 844th Engineer Combat Battalion are awaiting possible activations that could lead to Iraq. The 4th Combat unit specializes in destroying enemy targets while the 844th Engineer Battalion constructs, maintains and repairs the infrastructure needed for war. Statewide, more than 2,000 National Guardsmen have been called to active duty while more than 1,000 Reservists have been activated. Across the country, nearly 190,000 guardsmen and reserves have been called to active duty in support of the war against Iraq. Bryan Mitchell may be reached at 865-342-6306. GlobalSecurity.org The McGhee-Tyson ANGB is located on McGhee-Tyson Airport in Alcoa, Tennessee and is approximately 13 miles south of Knoxville, Tennessee [annexed into City of Knoxville Municipal Corporation]. The installation is home to the 134th Air Refueling Wing and consists of 358 acres. The base is located on the northwest side of the airport with a total of 39 buildings: 22 industrial, 10 administrative, 3 dormitories, and 4 service buildings; totaling 651,000 square feet. Day-to-day activities are managed by a force of 823 full-time personnel. Two weekends per month the population increases to 1700 during military training assemblies. The 134th Air Refueling Wing flies KC-135E tankers and its mission is to train, equip, and maintain units and individuals to meet worldwide requirements for federal day-to-day and mobilization missions and state emergencies. The Tennessee Air National Guard's 134th Air Refueling Group operates 10 aircraft at McGhee Tyson Airport. The Guard's KC-135E tankers provide refueling to the country's military aircraft and also played a very instrumental role in Desert Storm. In addition, the Army Aviation Support Facility, the 110th and 119th Tactical Control Squadrons and the 228th Combat Communications Squadron operate on the base. An adjacent twelve-acre parcel houses the 119th Tactical Control Squadron (GSU), Alcoa Air National Guard Station, and a Tennessee Army National Guard unit. The Academy of Military Science at the I.G. Brown ANG Training and Education Center is a deceptive place. Nine modern brick classroom and administration buildings, dormitories, a gymnasium and a dining hall comprise the I.G. Brown Air National Guard Training and Education Center. It includes a noncommissioned officers academy for Air Guard, Air Reserve and active Air Force enlisted people. It looks like a prospering small college. For would-be officers, however, AMS has been the Air National Guard's equivalent to England's Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst since it opened for business in 1971. Five or six classes of nearly 100 students are trained there each year. The 10,000th officer graduated in August 1999. Nearly 350 Air Force Reserve officers have completed the program since 1994. 95 percent do earn their commissions in the six weeks many take off from civilian jobs. They do it in half of the time it takes to complete the Air Force's 12-week Officer Training School at Maxwell Air Force Base, AL. The curriculum of 338 hours covers the same communications skills, leadership, professional development and defense studies that are the heart of the basic officer courses at Maxwell, at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, and at college ROTC programs across the country. The average age for AMS students is nearly 30. They average close to nine years of enlisted service. Some have become senior NCOs. Many have served on foreign soil. Many are married with children and mortgages. All have college degrees, and many have master's. McGhee Tyson Airport is the premier air facility in East Tennessee, serving the commercial airline industry, air cargo, military aviation and general aviation. With parallel 9,000 feet runways, McGhee Tyson Airport can accommodate any size aircraft in today's inventory. Located 12 miles south of downtown Knoxville, the airport occupies more than 2,000 acres of land with space for additional air cargo facilities or economic development. In 1991, the Air Cargo Complex was completed by the Airport Authority, providing a 21-acre facility for Federal Express, UPS and Airborne Express. Each of these carriers were provided a building designed to meet their specific needs, along with almost 430,000 square feet of aircraft apron areas and more than 200,000 square feet of vehicular parking areas. The total cost for the construction project was $9.3 million. Federal Express and United Parcel Express together account for almost 90 percent of the air freight market at McGhee Tyson Airport.

Tennessee National Guard Martial Law Posse in Tennessee COL Bill Hartbarger The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division is a premiere military asset within our state that provides critical support to federal,state and local law enforcement as well as community based and educational organizations. Through the combined efforts of hundreds of citizens and professionals in the fields of drug interdiction and demand reduction, the battle to curtail abuse and trafficking of illicit drugs is making progress. The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division urges citizens to utilize their communities and establish a unified stance against the dangers of illicit drugs pose. Work with your local law enforcement and local community groups to establish sustained grass roots coalitions that address the toll deadly drugs inflict upon your homeland. As our Guard men and women stand ready to fight the terror induced by the drug plague, so should each of you act as citizen soldiers in you own right. Raise a personal banner and sound the call that illegal drugs will not be tolerated in your communities. Awareness and action is the first step toward defeating this insidious, demoralizing threat. The soldiers and airmen of the Counterdrug Division have served the state for 14 years defending our citizenry against the cancer of illicit drug abuse. The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division reflects the truest visage of the Guard's creed � "Citizen Soldiers at Their Best!"
Eradication - "Carpe Cannabis" For the fourteenth straight year the Tennessee National Guard played a vital role in the war on cultivated marijuana. As a substantial member of the Governor's Task Force on Marijuana Eradication (GTFME), the Counterdrug Division provided personnel, aircraft, vehicles and other equipment to ensure mission success. The 2002 eradication season utilized 21 National Guard soldiers and airmen and 18 JTF-6 US Army soldiers working together to support the destruction of .485,464 marijuana plants from across the state worth an estimated street value of $978,928,000. "The Grunts" The workhorse of the ground effort was comprised of three Eradication Teams assigned to each geographical region of Tennessee. These ground forces reaped the illegal crops in 91 out of 95 counties. They traveled by 4 x 4 truck, four wheelers and by foot when the going got rough. These teams were made up of agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and soldiers and airmen of the Tennessee National Guard.
Drug Demand Reduction The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division proudly displays the efforts our soldiers do to educate the state on drug reduction. Our drug demand reduction program offers an array of programs for the public. The program offers static displays, puppet shows, drug briefings to the community based organizations, schools and law enforcement agencies, and churches. "Fatal Vision" "Fatal Vision" is one of our programs that demonstrates to young teenagers the dangerous effects drugs and alchol can have over normal everyday life. The students experience a "simulated intoxication" that is made possible by special goggles that alter their vision. Under the supervision of National Guardsmen, students experience the "intoxication" driving in golf carts as well as attempting a field sobriety test. This program is aimed at educating students and acts as a deterrent to driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. "Coalitions" A strong partnership emerged during the FY02 that united the Tennessee Department of Health, Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, the Nashville Prevention Partnership and the Tennessee National Guard in an initiative to build an effective state association of community coalitions. Regional training opportunities were provided and as a result, state association membership has been greatly increased. "Drug Briefings" Drug information briefings are given to teachers, students, social workers, police officers and health care workers as well other professionals to educate and update valuable information regarding the most current drug threat faced today by Tennesseans and the nation. "Mobile Team Challenge" Mobile Team Challenge is an adventure based experience education course designed for on-site training and instruction. These events focus on the six "Pillars of Character." These "Pillars" are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. "Youth Camps" The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division participates in several youth camps across the state of Tennessee. Counterdrug personnel provide youth with positive role models and set standards that focus on pro-social values and life skills. Intelligence Analysis In FY 02, the Counterdrug Division continued providing Intelligence Analysis support to federal and state law enforcement agencies. These National Guard soldiers and airmen continued to be a vital resource for agents working drug cases across our state and the nation. Intelligence Analysts provided numerous services such as phone toll analysis, suspect link analysis, background investigations, court room graphics preparation and various maps to support the prosecution of major drug trafficking organizations. Seizures from these efforts were over $2 million in drugs, property and money. Light Armored Vehicle Operations Urban Warfare Martial Law in Tennessee The Counterdrug Division's Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) is a new concept In Law Enforcement support for the state of Tennessee. Traditionally a drug demand reduction (DDR) display, the LAV began preparation for a new mission in FY 02. LAV personnel trained Agents across the state In order to provide them access to this armored transport option. The LAV provides safe transportation for agents executing drug search warrants and can also be used for downed officer recovery as well as a communications / command and control platform. In FY 02, Counterdrug personnel trained close to 400 law enforcement agents from 34 agencies covering west, middle, and east Tennessee. This training familiarized agents with the vehicle's capabilities, procedures and regulatory guidelines. The LAV also continued in its DDR role over the entire state for the Drug Demand Reduction (DDR) program as a static display. As more agencies complete their required training In FY 03, the LAV will become a valuable safety asset for local, state and federal agencies in the state. "Bee Like Me" Program The Tennessee National Guard Counterdrug Division branched out into a new Community Relations Branch in 1998 when it introduced the "Bee Like Me Program" to the state of Tennessee. As of FY 2002, forty-six Schools across Tennessee participate in the "Bee Like Me, Be Drug Free" program. The program is a peer-mentoring program that uses the students as role models. By using peer pressure as a positive guidance tool, both mentor and subordinate are influenced to make good decisions and choose to "bee" drug free. The "Bee Like Me" program is a flexible, comprehensive, highly visible program that begins where other drug programs end. The "Bee Like Me" program is unique in that the participant acts as both the teacher and student. The participant becomes the "Bee" and the students he/she teaches evolve into "Wanna Bees". Southeast Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force In FY 02, the Counterdrug Division provided two personnel to support the Southeast Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force (SETMTF). This support ranged from intelligence analysis and technical support to coordinating drug awareness and education support about the dangers of methamphetamines. A key weapon of the task force is education and making not only the citizens aware, but also educating health care workers, nurses, police officers and anyone else whose job might find them crossing the path of a methamphetamine lab. One way this was accomplished was thought the METH Trailer (Methamphetamine Education and Training Headquarters or "M.E.T.H."). The METH Trailer, a joint effort between the SETMTF and the Tennessee National Guard, provided "up front" awareness to thousands of Tennesseans on 18 different occasions. As the threat of methamphetamine grows across the state, so will our support and determination to eliminate it.
RAID Ghost Riders - Mission Statement The Reconnaissance & Interdiction Detachment (RAID) provides airborne scouting and reconnaissance support for drug interdiction and surveillance in a wide spectrum of geographical locations during day and night operations. Missions include Aerial Reconnaissance in day and night operations, Aerial Surveillance in day and night operations, and Command and Control for Law Enforcement Agents. The RAID is a unit assigned to the Tennessee National Guard with 13 positions, nine pilots and four mechanics. During marijuana eradication, the unit will fly approximately 1200 hours in support of the Governor's Task Force for Marijuana Eradication. Additionally the unit will perform Command and Control, Surveillance and Reconnaissance for Law Enforcement Agencies in the State of Tennessee. The average RAID pilot flies approximately 300 hours per year.
Appalachia High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area By orders of the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy, a twenty-eight county area of eastern Tennessee was designated as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) for marijuana in 1998. Through this designation, a significant amount of funding is being provided to the Tennessee National Guard for use in the purchase of equipment and services that augment the anti-drug effort conducted by the Counterdrug Division. In FY 02, the Counterdrug Division continued to support agencies within the AHIDTA in both the drug supply and demand reduction arenas. National Guardsmen participated in 439 DDR mission searching almost 44,000 Tennesseans with a "drug free" message. On the drug interdiction side, the Counterdrug Division supported the efforts of law enforcement in 50 arrests, the seizure of thousands of pounds of marijuana plants and processed marijuana as well as thousands of dollars in personal assets. The Counterdrug Division also provided full time Intelligence Analysis support and technical support for unmanned surveillance equipment such as the ground hog and pole cameras. The Weed and Seed Strategy Operation Weed and Seed is foremost a strategy--rather than a grant program-- which aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in targeted high-crime neighborhoods across the country. Weed and Seed sites range in size from several neighborhood blocks to 15 square miles. The strategy involves a two-pronged approach: law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in "weeding out" criminals who participate in violent crime and drug abuse, attempting to prevent their return to the targeted area; and "seeding" brings human services to the area, encompassing prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood revitalization. A community-orientated policing component bridges weeding and seeding strategies. Officers obtain helpful information from area residents for weeding efforts while they aid residents in obtaining information about community revitalization and seeding resources. The nine sites for weed and seed are Memphis, Jackson, Dyersburg, Humboldt, Trenton, Bristol, Cleveland, and Chattanooga, which is broken down into Martin Luther King and the West Side.

Phil's Tennessee STATE Guard Picture Page Tennessee STATE Guard Home Page Homeland Security vs Homeland Defense Department of Homeland security (HLS) is not the same as Department of Defense's Homeland Defense (HLD) NORTHCOM.MIL
Homeland security is the prevention, preemption, and deterrence of, and defense against, aggression targeted at U.S. territory, sovereignty, domestic population, and infrastructure as well as the management of the consequences of such aggression and other domestic emergencies. Homeland security is a national team effort that begins with local, state and federal organizations. DoD and NORTHCOM's HLS roles include homeland defense and civil support. Homeland defense is the protection of U.S. territory, domestic population and critical infrastructure against military attacks emanating from outside the United States. In understanding the difference between HLS and HLD, it is important to understand that NORTHCOM is a military organization whose operations within the United States are governed by law, including the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits direct military involvement in law enforcement activities. Thus, NORTHCOM's missions are limited to military homeland defense and civil support to lead federal agencies. Defending the Homeland Is a 'Must Win' Game WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2004 � The mission of homeland security is like playing an "away game and a home game," said the U.S. military's homeland defense commander. In war, just as in sports, it's the away game that you "want to win," but it is the home game that you "must win." Air Force Gen. Ralph Eberhart, head of U.S. Northern Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., used the analogy to explain his views on how to handle the nation's security challenges. He spoke Feb. 25 at the 2004 Armed Forces Communication and Electronics Association Homeland Security Conference here. Military Civil Support In addition to defending the nation, U.S. Northern Command provides military assistance to civil authorities in accordance with U.S. laws and as directed by the President or Secretary of Defense. Military assistance is always in support of a lead federal agency, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Military civil support includes domestic disaster relief operations that occur during fires, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Support also includes counter-drug operations and consequence management assistance, such as would occur after a terrorist event employing a weapon of mass destruction. Generally, an emergency must exceed the management capabilities of local, state and federal agencies before U.S. Northern Command becomes involved. In providing civil support, the command operates through subordinate Joint Task Forces. JPEN Shares Antiterrorism Information Across Nation U.S. Northern Command's arsenal for deterring, preventing and defeating terrorism now includes an information sharing system with the capability of immediate dissemination of antiterrorism and force protection information. Known as the Joint Protection Enterprise Network (JPEN), the system allows authorized subscribers to immediately share antiterrorism and force protection events with Department of Defense installations, operations centers and intelligence activities enabling them to make more timely and informed decisions. JPEN requires no additional hardware or software. Users simply need a user identification, password and Internet browser to access the system. "It's too good to be true. It's cheap, off-the-shelf, and it works!" said Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a recent national security policy and strategy conference in Washington, D.C. "It uses commercial, off-the-shelf software that was modified slightly for this application. The beauty of it is, you can link anybody, and everybody can put in data." US Air Force trains to shoot down hijacked US airliners SOP: Fighter jets circle airliner twice, drop flares, then shoot to kill if airline pilots cannot override Pentagon's HiJack autopilot By ERIC SCHMITT WASHINGTON - The U.S. military practices how to shoot down hijacked commercial airliners as often as three to four times a week, honing its defenses against terrorist attacks on U.S. cities, a senior general said on Thursday. In some of the drills, which began after the attacks of Sept. 11 revealed shortcomings in the military's readiness to react, the North American Aerospace Defense Command has rented commercial jets, loaded them with scores of military volunteers and carried out mock hijackings up to the point where airborne Air Force fighter pilots would fire air-to-air missiles. "We exercise this several times a week whether it's an airplane shooting down an airplane, or air defenses in the national capital area," the officer, Gen. Ralph E. Eberhart of the Air Force, who heads the command known as Norad, said, referring to surface-to-air missile batteries stationed around the Washington area. The frequency of the military exercises, which range from testing local air defense ground crews to simulating a nationwide series of terrorist attacks, reflects the concerns of senior military and civilian authorities that hijacked jetliners could still pose a threat on the scale of the Sept. 11, 2001, strikes here and in New York, despite a range of new security measures the airlines and government have put into effect since then. In a wide-ranging breakfast interview with defense reporters on Thursday and in a separate conversation at the Pentagon later, Eberhart said the rehearsals do not reflect any new specific threats. Rather, he said, the no-notice drills were a grim reminder that the country remains engaged in a global campaign against terror and must stand ready to thwart any attacks. "After Sept. 11, it became obvious that this was a new world, even uglier than we imagined," said Eberhart. A year ago, Vice President Dick Cheney revealed that in the hours after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush had ordered the downing of any more passenger jets that imperiled Washington. Military jets scrambled to intercept a fourth plane, but it crashed in Pennsylvania before they took any action. Several days after the attacks, Bush, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved new rules of engagement that reflected the heightened concern over how to confront such attacks more swiftly. Before Sept. 11, the Pentagon had no formal rules on how the military should deal with airliners taken over by suicidal hijackers bent on using them as weapons. Now, Eberhart said, military pilots and air defense crews are routinely quizzed about the rules of engagement involving a hijacked airliner, about which officials are authorized to order the downing of such an aircraft and about how to verify such life-and-death orders. Eberhart said these strict rules are in place so that "somebody can't just get up on the radio channel and say, 'Hey, I'm the president of the United States, shoot that down."' Air Force pilots who fly missions that could be ordered to down a hijacked jet are specially certified and trained, and they undergo psychological evaluations to ensure they are not "trigger-hesitant" at the moment of decision. "We have long discussions with people to see if they're mentally prepared to do this, pilots and operators on the ground for air defense systems," Eberhart said. "We certainly don't take this lightly." He added that pilots are taught that shooting down a hijacked airliner would only be ordered as "a last resort," and that crews are told that "if we don't do this, innocent people on the ground are going to die, too." The process that could some day lead to such a downing begins in a sophisticated situation room at Norad headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo. On giant screens in the top-secret room, military officials track the flights of thousands of aircraft flying over the country. A major change following the Sept. 11 attacks was to tie the military into the Federal Aviation Administration's flight-tracking database, allowing military officials to continuously track a commercial plane's course, altitude and destination. Eberhart declined on Thursday to describe the procedures the military uses to intercept a plane, determine whether it has been hijacked and decide whether to shoot it down, saying that would only give valuable information to possible adversaries. Ultimately, the decision to shoot down an airliner would rest with the president, but Bush has in the past authorized two mid-level Air Force generals to order the downing in the unlikely event he, Rumsfeld or Eberhart were out of contact, and an attack was seconds away. In most cases, the military plans the practice downings. In June 2002, Norad rented a Delta 757 airliner and its crew, loaded it with military volunteer passengers and staged a mock hijacking over the northwestern United States, into Canada and Alaska. Fighter jets tracked the plane. But there are also real-life situations that hone the training. Norad has scrambled or diverted fighter jets already airborne more than 1,500 times since Sept. 11 to check out aircraft that have strayed off course, have inadvertently turned off their transponders or have an unruly passenger aboard. Dozens of Air Force F-15 and F-16 jets conduct irregular combat patrols over major U.S. cities, and at the first sign of trouble can be directed to a position within minutes, officials said. In those instances, Eberhart said, "I can guarantee that fighter pilot, they're thinking about it, and going through all the rules of engagement." He added that unlike pilots flying over hostile territory, "When you know that what you're about to shoot down has a lot of innocent people on board, and maybe one, two, three or a handful of terrorists, that's a much different thing."

130 US SOLDIERS KILLED IN IRAQ - REPORTS Worst day of 14-year war so far SKY NEWS London - A Pentagon source has said up to 130 US troops have been killed in fierce fighting in Iraq. The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah. Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed." But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained." Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated". As reported in USA by Alex Jones at Infowars.com radio broadcast (locally on WBCR 1470AM Alcoa, Tennssee).
Coalition forces battle Sunni, Shiite forces Mosque compound struck in Fallujah Wednesday, April 7, 2004 BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Heavy fighting raged across Iraq as U.S. and coalition forces battled both Iraqi insurgents in the Sunni Triangle and the armed followers of a militant Shiite cleric. A U.S. military source said that in Fallujah, where U.S. Marines have been engaged in running battles with insurgents over the past 24 hours, U.S. aircraft destroyed part of a wall of the Abdul Aziz Shakir Mosque compound. The source said that attackers were firing at Marines from the wall and from inside the compound. The wall was several hundred yards from the mosque, which was not damaged, the source said. "We specifically did not target the mosque as we felt we could engage the enemy in the area with disciplined and well-aimed fire from our Marines without needing to cause extensive damage to the mosque and surrounding structures," the source said. Muslims consider the entire mosque compound to be part of the mosque. If the building is full, worshippers gather on the grounds of the compound. The Associated Press reported that cars were seen taking bodies from the scene, and reported that witnesses said 40 people were killed. The Marine source could not provide a casualty report, but said that if there were "enemy" casualties at the mosque, they were brought down by fire from U.S. Marines' rifles. Wednesday morning, a bridge north of Fallujah under U.S. control came under attack by insurgents, according to reports from the city. The firefight lasted at least 15 minutes and it appears the Marines retained control of the bridge. Also, a rocket-propelled grenade hit an Abrams tank in Fallujah, wounding two crew members. "The Marines are actively engaged in firefights in at least two locations with insurgents," said Tony Perry, a Los Angeles Times reporter in Fallujah. He said troops are going "door-to-door" finding insurgent locations and that one of the main locations where inusrgents have been firing from is a mosque. "Marines are using tanks. They have infantry and also air power." As for the insurgents, "There were platoon-sized groups. They brought in buses, hit the Marines with counterfire, had anti-aircraft facilities that were shooting at the helicopters and the Marines responded," Perry reported. The Sunni Triangle is an area north and west of Baghdad that has been a hotbed of resistance to the U.S.-led occupation. Meanwhile, U.S. forces "remain in firm control" of the western city of Ramadi after 12 Marines were killed late Tuesday in a large-scale attack by Iraqi insurgents. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said the Marines were killed in a long gunbattle at a government building in the city. One general says some Syrian fighters were captured in a battle. Shiite militia spurred by al-Sadr U.S. Army troops are gearing for fierce fighting in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City to try to eliminate the Mehdi Army, a militia loyal to militant Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, military officials told CNN Wednesday. Tanks have been deployed to protect police stations in the biggest Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad and units from the 1st Cavalry Divisionexternal link and the 1st Armored Division, which had been due to leave the country, were preparing for another night of clashes, Col. Robert Abrams told CNN. Abrams, from the 1st Cavalry Division, said about 3,000 fighters from the Mehdi Army were in the city. The Mehdi Army is in control of Najaf, although coalition forces have a "strong presence" on the city's outskirts, Kimmitt said. "We will attack to destroy the Medhi Army. Those offensive operations will be deliberate. They'll be precise and they will be powerful. And they will succeed," Kimmitt said. A multinational forces spokesman said there was fighting between Polish forces and Mehdi Army members in Karbala, also a Shiite holy city. The militia members were equipped with machine guns and anti-armor grenade launchers, and the spokesman said he could not confirm whether the fighting was ongoing. Sayid Hazem al-Araji, head of the Al-Sadr office in Baghdad, said an employee of the al-Sadr office in Karbala, Sayid Murtadha, was killed Wednesday by foreign troops but didn't elaborate. The Iraqi Health minister said eight were killed and 32 wounded in the city Tuesday. In Kut, in southern Iraq, 20 coalition troops at the city mayor's house and office and Ukrainian troops stationed there to support them retreated from the building as fighting escalated, a Ukraine government official said. The Ukrainian troops are back at their base near the city. Al-Sadr is wanted on murder charges in connection with the killing of a rival last year. The cleric left a mosque in Baghdad on Tuesday and has said in a statement on his Web site that he is at his office in Najaf near the Imam Ali mosque in Najaf, one of Shiite Islam's holiest shrines. In a statement issued Tuesday, al-Sadr called Iraqis cooperating with the United States and Britain "enemies" and urged fellow citizens to "leave the coalition." Kimmitt said the coalition would be "weighing our options" regarding how it would handle security for a Shiite holiday this weekend in Najaf. He added that the military would be "thinking very carefully about the way to restore order to Najaf, but at the same time doing it in such a manner that does not alienate the pilgrims who are celebrating one of the most important observances of the Muslim calendar." Coordinated bomb attacks during the Shiite Ashura holiday in early March killed 181 people in Baghdad and Karbala. In Baghdad on Wednesday, a rocket-propelled grenade attack on an Iraqi police station killed a U.S. soldier, according to U.S. military sources. The soldiers were moving between vehicles when an RPG round was fired, killing the soldier, the sources said. There have been 637 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war, 447 from hostile fire, 190 in non-hostile incidents. Of those, 498 were killed after President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1. Bush holds conference on Iraq On Wednesday, a video conference was being held among President Bush, his national security team and the top U.S. military and civilian officials in Iraq -- Gen. John Abizaid of the U.S. Central Command and Paul Bremer of the Coalition Provisional Authority, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. The conference was set up in response to recent events in Iraq, the spokesman said. Bush was also set to discuss the situation Wednesday by telephone with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been the president's staunchest international ally in the Iraq war, McClellan said. CNN's Jane Arraf, Jim Clancy, Barbara Starr, Kevin Flower, Walter Rodgers, Jamie McIntyre, Wolf Blitzer and Kianne Sadeq contributed to this report. U.S. hits mosque in Iraq, reportedly killing up to 40 The Associated Press FALLUJAH, Iraq -- U.S. forces battling Sunni insurgents in this violent city apparently hit a mosque filled with people today, and witnesses said as many as 40 people were killed. It was unclear what hit the mosque. Until that incident, reports showed at least 30 Americans and more than 150 Iraqis were dead in the fighting for the city. Anti-American violence intensified and spread to cities in northern Iraq today as a U.S. helicopter went down and a Marine commander confirmed 12 of his men had been killed in fighting west of Baghdad. '40 killed' as US targets mosque George Wright and agencies A US helicopter today fired three missiles at a mosque in the besieged Iraqi city of Falluja, killing as many as 40 Iraqis, according to witnesses quoted by the Associated Press [only half as many as killed by Hellfire missle fired into Christian church in Waco/Crawford, Texas, USA, as ordered by General Wesley Clark]. Part of a wall surrounding the Abdul-Aziz al-Samarrai mosque was demolished, an AP reporter at the scene said, although the mosque itself was not damaged. There was no official confirmation of casualties. The strike came as worshippers were gathering at the mosque for afternoon prayers. Witnesses said that the bodies of the dead and injured were rushed away in cars to private homes in the area that served as makeshift hospitals. US marines have laid siege to Falluja, which is west of the capital, Baghdad, for the past three days. The operation is aimed at quashing an insurgency by Sunni Muslim militants. The fighting in Falluja and nearby Ramadi, where 12 US marines were killed overnight, is part of a widening revolt involving both Sunni and Shia militants and stretching from Kirkuk in the north to the British-controlled city of Basra in the south. An estimated 33 coalition troops and 170 Iraqis have been killed in the latest outbreak of violence. The latest US casualty died when his vehicle was attacked with a rocket-propelled grenade outside a police station in Baghdad today. Also today, a top aide to radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said that his supporters - known as the al-Mahdi Army - had captured a number of soldiers from the US-led coalition. "Some tribes have captured some occupation forces on the streets," Qays al-Khazali told a news conference in the Shia Muslim holy city of Najaf. In a further setback for US-led forces, the Ukrainian military today withdrew most of its troops from the city of Kut after heavy fighting with Shia militants. Yesterday, one Ukrainian soldier was killed and five were wounded in the city. The death was the first combat fatality for Ukraine's 1,650-strong contingent in Iraq. Despite the withdrawal, Brigadier-General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of operations for the US army in Iraq, remained defiant. "We will attack to destroy the al-Mahdi Army," he said. "Those attacks will be deliberate, precise and they will be successful." He said that US forces were working to hunt down members of the militia in the mainly Shia district of Sadr City, in Baghdad, and called on Mr Sadr to surrender. "If he wants to calm the situation ... he can turn himself in to a local Iraqi police station and he can face justice," Brig-Gen Kimmitt said. He said that Mr Sadr's forces, along with Sunni guerrillas who have opposed US troops for month, are staging a campaign of violence to disrupt the June 30 handover of power from the US to an Iraqi government. Within hours of his statement, Polish troops reportedly killed one of Mr Sadr's lieutenants in Kerbala. An Iraqi police spokesman told Reuters that Murtada al-Mussawi, who ran Mr Sadr's Kerbala office, was killed in fighting with Polish troops in the centre of the city. Mourners carried away his body, chanting "today we will free Kerbala from the Jews", according to witnesses. There was no immediate comment from Polish forces, who head a multinational division in the area. The deteriorating situation prompted emergency talks in Washington. The US president, George Bush, today held meetings with senior administration officials and advisers amid fears that the current crisis could jeopardise the planned June 30 handover of sovereignty to the Iraq people. With November's presidential election approaching, a decision to move the date back could prove politically damaging to Mr Bush. There are currently around 135,000 US troops in Iraq, and Washington hopes to reduce that number to 115,000 by June. However, the military may need more soldiers to cope with the growing resistance. US General John Abizaid has asked for "options" to be made available in the event that he needs more troops. The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said that Gen Abizaid will get more troops if he requests them. "At the present time, they've announced no change in their plans, but they could make such a request at any time," he said. "They will decide what they need, and they'll get what they need." Senior Pentagon officials believe that the current situation in Iraq is a "test of wills" between US-led troops and resistance fighters, and insist that they will prevail. Special report: Iraq Former Metro officer kills ex-girlfriend, self, police say Attorney was facing 1-year jail sentence, federal drug investigation for failing DUI parole piss test By HOLLY EDWARDS and SHEILA BURKE NASHVILLE, TENN. - Facing possible jail time for drunken driving, targeted by federal authorities investigating a methamphetamine ring and on the heels of a failed relationship marred by violence, Gregory Dale Clayton's life seemed to be spiraling out of control. The troubles that had marked the former Metro police officer's recent life turned deadly yesterday when Clayton fatally shot his estranged girlfriend in the driveway of his Hermitage home, and later shot and killed himself as Metro SWAT officers surrounded his house, Metro police said. Clayton's body was found in the bedroom of his house at 163 Jacksonian Drive about 3:45 p.m. yesterday, with a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol nearby, police said. Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said he apparently died of a single gunshot wound to the head. About four hours earlier, Clayton, 40, a lawyer, shot his estranged girlfriend, Lori Sue Stanley, several times as she got out of her car, police said. Stanley, 36, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in ''very critical condition'' and died there about 3:15 p.m., Aaron said. Witnesses said that after Stanley fell to the ground, Clayton then walked over to her and shot her several more times about 11:30 a.m., Aaron said. Witnesses also told police they saw Clayton run through his back yard and jump over a fence but did not see where he went. Thinking that Clayton still could be inside the house, police negotiators tried to communicate with him for more than three hours by loudspeaker and telephone but never got a response. Meanwhile, dozens of officers sealed off the neighborhood and two nearby elementary schools, evacuated nearby houses and started a wide search for Clayton using dogs and helicopters. Noticing a strong chemical odor around the house, officers used a bomb squad robot to test the air to make sure it was safe for the SWAT team to enter. Officers were concerned that highly flammable chemicals used to make meth were present in the house and were generating toxic fumes. Federal and Metro agents found chemicals used to make the drug at Clayton's house during a raid last Wednesday night, but no arrests were made, Aaron said. No additional details were immediately available on the meth investigation, which continues. After the robot determined the air was safe yesterday, the police SWAT team donned weapons and body armor and fired tear gas into Clayton's house just after 3 p.m. When he didn't emerge, officers sent in a robot equipped with a camera and found his body on the floor of his bedroom, Aaron said. Court records show Clayton, who served on the police force from 1988 until he resigned in 1998 to become a lawyer, was facing increasing legal and personal problems. A sentence he received for a 2001 DUI conviction was under review by a local judge. Clayton was facing a sentence increase from just 10 days to 11 months, 29 days, because he had reportedly tested positive for drugs, said his lawyer, John Herbison. The drug test was ordered by prosecutors after Clayton asked Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier to let him serve his 10-day sentence on weekends. ''The drug screen showed what was reported to be a positive result for amphetamine or methamphetamine,'' the lawyer said. The district attorney's office then asked Dozier to resentence Clayton to serve the maximum jail term, which originally had been suspended. Stanley testified as a witness in Clayton's favor during a hearing on the prosecution's request last month, Herbison said. Clayton had a stormy relationship with Stanley, according to police records. Aaron said police were called to the house for domestic disturbances three times last year and four times this year. vOn Jan. 21 Stanley was arrested and charged with domestic assault after Clayton told police she threw things at him and choked him. On Jan. 23 he swore out an order of protection against her, accusing her of starting an argument with him because she was displeased with their relationship, court records show. Last Wednesday, the same day drug agents searched his home, she obtained an order of protection against him, police said. ''She slapped me, choked me and threw a television remote control and glass dish at me,'' Clayton wrote in court papers. The incident occurred in front of Clayton's teenage son and Stanley's boy, according to the records. Stanley had lived at the house with Clayton until a few weeks ago and was coming to pick up her belongings when she was shot, Aaron said. Clayton was a patrol officer in the department's Central sector until his resignation, his police personnel record shows. His record included a letter of praise for assisting federal authorities in a criminal case that ended in a 34-year prison sentence for a defendant. The 1997 letter, from Assistant U.S. Attorney Mercedes C. Maynor-Faulcon, did not include details of the case. Clayton also was commended in 1991 by U.S Secret Service Special Agent in Charge George Adams, who wrote that the officer's work helped nab a couple wanted on federal credit-card fraud, mail fraud and false representation charges. In that case, Clayton and another officer, Jerry Page, found the couple when they responded to a domestic dispute at a Ramada Inn on James Robertson Parkway. The two gave the officers false identifications, but the officers looked closer, finding they were fugitives wanted in Texas and Colorado. Clayton's file included no disciplinary citations. Fletcher Long, a longtime friend of Clayton's, said he was a ''charming person and a great father.'' Long, who attended law school with Clayton, said he didn't want to discuss Clayton's recent troubles but said Clayton was aware that he faced criminal prosecution and had hired an attorney. ''We knew he had some troubles, but nobody could have possibly foreseen today's events,'' Long said. Many residents in the quiet neighborhood spent the day peering out of doors and windows and had cell phones cradled to their ears. James Dunn, 21, who lives less than a block from Clayton, said he heard several gunshots yesterday morning when he walked out of his house. Soon after that, he said he saw ambulances, police officers and SWAT team members swarm into the neighborhood. ''Then it hit me that something bad had happened,'' Dunn said. ''I can't believe this.'' Other neighbors said they were prepared to bolt their doors and windows and get their guns ready if Clayton wasn't found by nightfall. ''It's really scary that an ex-Metro cop could do something like this,'' said Brandy Franklin, whose family lives in the neighborhood. ''You'd think he'd have too much to live for.''

D.A.R.E. teen attends special session at FBI headquarters Hitler Youth turned into TWAT by Copster Crime Cartel Telegraph-Forum Carla Groves, 17, a senior at Wynford High School and member of the National D.A.R.E. Youth Advisory Board (YAB), represented the state of Ohio last fall at the FBI headquarters in Quantico, Va. Carla joined 46 other teens from around the United States for a four-day conference that consisted of gaining information about street drugs and their bad effects, leadership training, team building and sightseeing of nearby Washington, D.C. This is her second year to represent Ohio on the YAB. Her travels across Ohio and to Quantico were complements of D.A.R.E. America, the organization that informs today's youth of the consequences of recreational drugs so that they can make the informed decision to say "no" when offered substances that are harmful to the body and/or addicting. The war against drugs is a huge problem for teens that face pressures to "fit in" or seek a temporary escape from life's experiences, D.A.R.E. officials said. Most teens do not realize that their first attempt at recreational drugs can lead to death. Entire families can be devastated by a teen drug abuser or by the death of a teen as a result of drug use. Carla and her mother, Karen, stayed in the dorms at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) training headquarters. After individual introductions and group activities, the two spent days in classroom settings observing videos of drug parties known as "raves" and learning about what effects specific drugs have on the body. In addition, they spent time with the FBI and DEA agents who enacted drug raids, explained their raid and protective equipment, demonstrated their sharp shooting skills at the shooting range and offered information to parents on supporting and communicating with teens and other parents. Nighttime activities included tours of various memorials in Washington, D.C., and a visit to the DEA museum near the Pentagon. As part of Groves' responsibilities as the Ohio D.A.R.E. youth representative, she has given talks at various D.A.R.E. graduations across the state. In addition, Carla sees herself as a positive example of a teen who isn't afraid to speak out against drugs to other teens and can share the positive effects of staying drug-free with the younger children. Deputy Tim Ley, Crawford County's D.A.R.E. officer, said "Carla is an excellent role model for our children. [We want all kids to turn in their parents for our Homeland Security KGB Gulag Death Camp system.]"
Psychos' Siege at Roby Ridge - Ultimate in Sleep Deprivation, Mind-Control Tech, Starvation and Kidney Failure Guarantees Sane Loon for Bin
Libertarian Party Press Release WASHINGTON, DC�It's official: Shirley Allen isn't nuts. Now it's time to decide if the Illinois state police went a little crazy when they arrested her, the Libertarian Party said today. Allen is the 51-year-old widow in Roby, Illinois, who made national headlines in October by holding police at bay for 39 days before they shot her with rubber bullets and carted her off for an involuntary psychiatric exam. After six weeks in captivity, doctors declared last week that she posed absolutely "no danger to herself or others," and set her free. "Shirley Allen poses no danger�and never did," said Steve Dasbach, chairman of the Libertarian Party. "Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the Illinois state police. The officers who terrorized and assaulted this innocent woman must be held accountable. That's the only way that some small measure of justice can come from this tragic situation." The standoff began in September in the small, central Illinois town when police tried to serve a court order for a psychiatric examination, requested by family members. Over the next 39 days, police shot tear gas into Allen's house; cut off her electricity; arrested a neighbor who tried to bring her food and water; deprived her of sleep by shining spotlights into her windows; and blasted Barry Manilow songs throughout the night. Finally, on October 30th, police shot her with rubber bullets and took her to a hospital in Springfield for a mental evaluation. "If a group of ordinary citizens behaved like these police officers, they would be charged with assault, attempted murder, kidnapping, and malicious destruction of property," Dasbach pointed out. "Police officers should be held to the same standard. If they commit crimes, they ought to be prosecuted�whether they were 'just following orders' or not." Specifically, Dasbach demanded that:
"For 39 straight days, a battalion of police officers jeopardized public safety when they chose to harass a senior citizen�instead of pursuing violent criminals," he said. "The least they can do is reimburse taxpayers for their astounding lapse in judgment." Dasbach admitted that none of these recommendations would give back to Shirley Allen the 39 days she lost while being held hostage in her own home by the police�or the 40-some days she spent confined in a mental hospital. "But if these reforms make it less likely that any other American will have to suffer what Shirley Allen suffered at the hands of an overzealous and out-of-control SWAT team, then they're worthwhile," he said. "This woman's painful ordeal is over. Now it's time to guarantee every American that what happened to Shirley Allen won't happen to them."
Jackie Patru Jack McLamb has a group called "Police and Military Against the New World Order". A former police officer himself, McLamb boasts of being the most highly decorated lawman. He also was a hostage negotiator for the FBI, according to his own web site. In 1997, at a rally for Shirley Allen � a woman under a "Waco-style" seige by the Illinois State Police � McLamb defended the aggressive actions of the police. Shirley, a woman who had broken no laws, had been approached by police officers, demanding that she go with them to have a mandatory phychological exam, because someone thought she was acting strangely. She resisted by force of arms, even though she shot no one, except a police dog, who had bore his teeth at her after making entry into her home. During the standoff, which lasted 39 days, police shot her with bean-bag and rubber bullets and fired tear gas into her home, damaging her property. It was damage for which she was never compensated. During the time of the standoff, a rally was held for Shirley. But the rally took an unexpected twist when Jack McLamb stood in front of the crowd � with snipers all around him for his own protection � and said that there were at least a couple of occasions where he would have given the order to shoot Shirley himself, if he had been the one in charge. Jack McLamb talks a lot about the rights and freedoms of the people. But he didn't seem to be too concerned about Shirley Allen's rights on that day. Who is Officer Jack McLamb? Can he be trusted? On the October 27, 1997 edition of Sweet Liberty, during the standoff, Jackie Patru addressed the above questions by playing a tape of Jack McLamb, speaking at the rally. Also appearing as a guest of Jackie's, is Clae Douglas of the Free American News Magazine. This broadcast is from the now-defunct Republic Radio International. Audio stream
Webmaster Note: Since McLamb sold nearly 1.5-million copies of his nonfiction book The Vampire Killers, mainly to police and military, perhaps he was attempting to market his wares to his favorite customers. Or, perhaps he still works in police "intelligence", and as Standard Operating Procedure, routinely operates undercover and infiltrates "subversive" organizations? Chris Gerner of Americkan Expose Radio, asks if he gives his mailing list to the NWO of who is allegedly "untrustworthy"? His own website confesses he was employed as an "'Intelligence Officer' for City Gang Squad", past member of "ASSOCIATION OF FORMER INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION" and current member of "INTERNATIONAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ASSOCIATION", yet he does not citizen-arrest Resident George Bush Jr and his narcoterror Gang when they come to town... At any rate, as an "ex"-cop, he has a lot of redemption to pay to tone for his sins, as do most other Amerikans. Or perhaps he just had a flashback relapse to his old glory days of Communist atrocity?

Air Force NCO joins legal challenge to 'no fly' By Jim Cour SEATTLE � Air Force Master Sgt. Michelle Green quit flying commercial planes with her children this year. That's because Green, 36, a single parent, believes she has been singled out by the Transportation Security Administration for extra scrutiny by airport workers. It's too hard to watch her two adopted toddlers, 2 and 3, while she tries to clear security before a flight, she said. "I have to get there a couple of hours early," Green told a news conference Tuesday at the American Civil Liberties Union office here. "You just don't know what's going to happen. "It might be 45 minutes or it could be two hours," she said. "I'm not allowed to take care of my kids or their needs. So I can't travel with them." Green, based at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the ACLU in federal court in Seattle. The lawsuit challenges the government's "no-fly" list of suspected terrorists who may not board commercial flights and its "selectee" list of travelers singled out for extra security because they're considered a potential threat. A 16-year Air Force veteran, Green doesn't have any idea how she might have gotten on the list. Since early in January, she has been unable to board flights without significant delays. "I've been humiliated and embarrassed in front of my supervisors and fellow passengers," Green said. "One of the most frustrating parts if that every time I change planes, I must undergo the same security measures. "I'm frustrated and I'm tired. I'm looking for a way to change the process and clear my name. You just don't know what put you on that list." Green said she went to the ACLU as a last-ditch attempt to get her name taken off the list after failing in repeated attempts with the TSA. Other plaintiffs who appeared at the news conference here were Mohamed Ibrahim, 51, a coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee in Philadelphia who immigrated to the United States from Sudan, and Sarosh Syed, 26, a special projects coordinator at the ACLU of Washington in Seattle who immigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan. Both are U.S. citizens. "I am an anti-terrorist person," Ibrahim said. "This is a funny thing. I don't know how it happened." Syed said the country has changed since Sept. 11, 2001. "This is definitely not the America that I immigrated to," he said. Aaron Caplan of the ACLU's state chapter said thousands of innocent Americans were being stopped at the nation's airports because of the lists. "Imagine how this would feel if it was happening to you," he said. "This 'no fly' list is not making us safe. We still don't know how a person gets on the list. We still don't know how a person gets off the list." Police State Junk Science Genocides Diabetics by John Lee NOTE: The defendants, Rockford Police Department, claim the homicide victim (murdered by a traffic cop for alleged speeding), on-duty police officer Ricky Layton, had an alleged blood-alcohol content. However, there are many ways to falsify such tests and/or "pencil-whip" paperwork. The law firm of Lee, Lee & Lee in Knoxville currently has a similar case pending against the Roane County Sheriff's Department on behalf of a victim's children. A diabetic woman was tortured to death in solitary confinement because she was too poor to pay an exhorbinant bail bond (since she could not afford competent and/or ethical legal representation). Although police held her in jail for nearly a year awaiting trial (which is unconstitutional punishment), they and their doctors did not diagnose the diabetes despite obvious symptoms. When the victim became racked with agonizing pain, the police removed all food, water, medicine and medical care. So she died. The coroner's autopsy reported the victim had a blood-alcohol level of 0.40% BAT. This is at coma or death level, yet she was in solitary confinement for several weeks, with zero access to alcohol. The sheriff's department and county attorney do not even allege that she was drinking alcohol (in fact she was not allowed to drink anything at all, which is what killed her with diabetic ketoacidosis). Diabetic acidosis deaths are very common in this area, and this author has personally known two people who died at home alone in the past year. Both were athletic and in their 30s and in apparently excellent physical condition. This is a standard blood-alcohol test result for someone with acidosis of any type, since so-called "blood-alcohol" tests do not test for alcohol. "Going on a diet" or fasting will give identical results since the human body is burning fat, resulting in ketoacidosis and loss of weight in body fat. Ketoacidosis is also obtained by an athlete eating a high-protein diet and performing heavy exercise to build muscle and strength. They test only for "methyl" typew molecules, of which there are hundreds that give a false positive on the BAT. Knox County and Blount County also have the worst air pollution of any cities and counties in the United States, ranking in the top 75% to top 95% in deadly pollutants from industrial sources. The poisoned air is trapped in the Tennessee Valley between the Cumberland Plateau and the Great Smokey Mountians, which is unique geography compared to cities that use wind power to spread their pollution to their neighbors. Basically, East Tennesseans are literally living--and dying--in their own toilet. Dozens of chemicals are measured and identified by the US EPA, many of them producing false positives on BATs such as methylene chloride (Roane County, where the woman died, ranked in the top 90% of USA for methylene chloride). Knox County air ranked in the top 90% for acetaldehyde, the poisonous byproduct in human metabolism of alcohol beverages. This is according to the US EPA and American Lung Association who do not even measure the radiation in the air from incineration of 2-million pounds per year of radioactive garbage produced from the ORNL nuclear bomb factory or imported to Knoxville from around the world. Many lawyers are puzzled about obviously false BAT results. With the use of elctro-mechanical machinery combined with human error and/or corruption, the possibility for manipulation of BAT scores is limitless. It appears the entire "Drink-Driving War" is an attempt by the insurance industry to loot even more money from innocent people, since any allegation of a "positive" BAT/BAC score--even at 0.00% BAT/BAC--means the insurance company can scam out of paying every claim resulting from that crash, no matter who was the cause of the crash or who was the victim. Police agencies did not get interested in the Drink-Driving War until realizing that billions of dollars in "profits" was possible. Both industries are rewarded immensely by false-positives in BAT/BAC scores. Any "professionals" who did not play ball are quickly fired and/or blacklisted from the spoils of the Drink-Driving War. Had officer Mickey Laton's blood-alcohol level been as high as alleged, he would not have been able to ride his motorcycle out of his driveway, much less drive it down a highway at high speed. Even if he did ride at a relatively higher speed, that alone is proof of sobriety, according to the NHTSA's guide to "reasonable suspicion" to make a traffic stop for suspected DWI. Note that this single bogus "arrest" and summary execution for alleged "speeding" resulted in the total demolition and terminal bankruptcy of the Rockford Police Department.

Some Dare Call It Treason: Wake Up America! by Colonel Robert Bowman, PhD, USAF Retired I am a member of Veterans For Peace, an organization of thousands of combat veterans. All of us have put our life on the line for this country. Most of us opposed the recent invasion of Iraq. We also opposed the first Gulf War, and the sanctions that followed. We opposed the slaughter of fleeing Iraqis on the Road to Basra. We opposed the use of Depleted Uranium munitions. And we opposed the lies upon which the first Gulf War was based. But there was one good thing about that first Gulf War. It ended. And without a wholesale invasion of Iraq. Why? Here's what the first President Bush wrote about that in his memoirs:
My brothers and sisters, it is just too darn bad his son can't read! I've been severely criticized for speaking out in opposition to this war. So have you, probably. We're told that we're aiding and abetting the enemy. We're told that we should support the president no matter what. We're told that patriotism demands that we support the war. They say that we're abusing the freedoms that our troops are in the Middle East defending. They say we should be ashamed to be protesting while the troops are in the desert protecting our right to do so. Well I say, Hogwash! I feel an affinity for the troops over there in Iraq. They are my comrades in arms. I admire their sense of honor and sacrifice. I understand why some of them believe they should be there. They have neither the experience nor the wisdom to see past the lies they have been told. The truth is, they are not over there protecting our freedoms. Our freedoms are not under attack from Saddam Hussein or the remnants of his Baathist party. Our freedoms are under attack by John Ashcroft. They are threatened by John Poindexter. They are trampled by Donald Rumsfeld. They are disdained by Dick Cheney. And they are not even understood by George W. Bush. The battle to preserve our freedoms is not taking place in Baghdad and Tikrit. It is taking place in Central Park in New York City, in Lafayette Park in Washington DC, in Ghirardelli Park in San Francisco, and in River Front Park in Melbourne, Florida. The front lines go right down US 1 and up New Haven Avenue. It is we, here at home, who are the foot soldiers battling to preserve our cherished freedoms by exercising them, in spite of opposition and ridicule. It is we who protect our civil rights through speaking out. We are the Minutemen sounding the alarm against tyranny. We are upholding the spirit of the American Revolution. We are preserving the freedoms that the troops in the desert have a right to come back to. The troops getting shot at in Iraq are not protecting us. We are protecting them, and their honor and their freedoms. We have just completed a forced march through hostile territory to defend their freedoms and ours, and the ideals America was founded on. We are protecting this nation by speaking truth to power. Let us do it loudly and fearlessly and courageously and joyfully, for we are the true patriots! Here is the truth that we proclaim. This war has nothing to do with national security or freedom or democracy or human rights or protecting our allies or weapons of mass destruction or defeating terrorism or disarming Iraq. It has to do with money. It has to do with oil. And it has to do with raw imperial power. It is based on a pack of lies. And it is wrong. Those who forced this war on an unwilling world are guilty of flagrantly violating the US Constitution, the UN Charter, and international law. What they have done is illegal, immoral, unconstitutional and TREASON. It's been said that somewhere in Texas there is a village looking for their idiot. Now that may be funny, but it misses the point. George W. Bush is not an imbecile. He is a TRAITOR. Before this war started, we knew it would fracture NATO, split the United Nations, separate us from our allies, and destroy the great nation we inherited from our fathers who died in World War II. And it has. We knew it would make our beloved country feared and hated, an outcast from the world community, a pariah among the peoples, and the number one rogue nation on earth. And it has. It has done so based on a pack of lies. My sisters and brothers, that is not stupidity. That is TREASON. We knew this sadistic corporate war would incense the Arab world, provide thousands of new Osama bin Ladens, and enormously increase the terrorist threat. And it has. We knew it would further endanger the American people and destroy our national security. And it has. That is not stupidity, it is TREASON. The cabal of neoconservatives at PNAC who planned this war (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby, Perle, Jeb Bush) even before W became president, knew the American people would not stand for it unless there was a new Pearl Harbor. 9/11 supplied that. Our government was warned. They were warned by the Clinton Administration. They were warned by 11 other countries. And they were specifically warned by an FBI agent that one of them was planning on flying a hijacked airliner into the World Trade Center. They not only ignored the warnings, they made sure no fighter jets were scrambled to stop it. If they had just done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to be followed, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. This is not stupidity, it is TREASON. As a combat veteran, I will not stand idly by and watch our security destroyed by a president who went AWOL rather than fight in Vietnam. Honor requires that I call this by its right name. It is TREASON. As one who has devoted his life to the security of this country, I will not stand by and watch an appointed president send our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs for the oil companies without calling it by its right name. It is TREASON. I joined the Air Force to protect our borders and our people, not the financial interests of Folgers, Chiquita Banana, and Exxon. We've had enough corporate wars. No more Iraqs. No more El Salvadors. No more Kosovos. No more Colombias. These are not isolated incidents of stupidity. They are part of a long, bloody history of foreign policy being conducted for the financial benefit of the wealthy few. It is a new colonialism. It violates our Constitution. It endangers our people. And it is TREASON. As a pilot who flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam, I can tell you that the best thing our government can do for its combat veterans is to quit making more of them. Peace is patriotic; a preemptive war is immoral, illegal, unconstitutional, a war crime, and TREASON. I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. That includes a renegade president. Wake up, America! It is time for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the whole oil mafia to be removed from office and indicted for TREASON. We are the people. We are sovereign. We are the patriots. The whole world is with us. Never allow anyone to intimidate you into silence. Wake up, America! It's time to speak truth to power.

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable." "At end-1945, some 3,000 battle-hardened veterans returned to McMinn County. Sheriff Mansfield's deputies had brutalized many in McMinn County; the GIs held Cantrell politically responsible for Mansfield's doings. In ads and speeches the GI candidates promised an honest ballot count and reform of county government. At a rally, a GI speaker said, 'The principals that we fought for in this past war do not exist in McMinn County. We fought for democracy because we believe in democracy but not the form we live under in this county.' At end-July 1946, 159 McMinn County GIs petitioned the FBI to send election monitors. There was no response. The Department of Justice had not responded to McMinn Countians' complaints of election fraud in 1940, 1942, and 1944. To intimidate voters, Mansfield brought in some 200 armed 'deputies'. GI poll-watchers were beaten almost at once. At about 3 p.m., Tom Gillespie, an African-American voter, was told by a Sheriff's deputy, "'Nigger, you can't vote here today!!'". Despite being beaten, Gillespie persisted; the enraged deputy shot him. "The deputies, with guns drawn, formed a tight half-circle around the front of the polling place. One deputy, "his gun raised high ...shouted: 'You sons-of-bitches cross this street and I'll kill you!'" Mansfield took the ballot boxes to the jail for counting. The deputies seemed to fear immediate attack, by the 'people who had just liberated Europe and the South Pacific from two of the most powerful war machines in human history.' By borrowing keys to the National Guard and State Guard Armories, they got three M-1 rifles, five .45 semi-automatic pistols, and 24 British Enfield rifles. Three GIs - alerting passersby to danger - were fired on from the jail. Two GIs were wounded. Other GIs returned fire. Those inside the jail mainly used pistols; they also had a 'tommy gun' (a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun). Firing subsided after 30 minutes: ammunition ran low and night had fallen. Thick brick walls shielded those inside the jail. Absent radios, the GIs' rifle fire was un-coordinated. 'From the hillside, fire rose and fell in disorganized cascades. More than anything else, people were simply 'shooting at the jail'.' Men from Meigs county threw dynamite sticks and damaged the jail's porch. The panicked deputies surrendered. In five precincts free of vote fraud, the GI candidate for Sheriff, Knox Henry, won 1,168 votes to Cantrell's 789. Other GI candidates won by similar margins. The regular police having fled, six men were chosen to police Athens; a dozen GIs were sent to police Etowah. In addition, 'Individual citizens were called upon to form patrols or guard groups, often led by a GI....' US Congressman John Jennings said on the Congressional Record, 'At long last decency and honesty, liberty and law have returned to the fine county of McMinn.' Since 1915, officials of seven governments 'gone bad' have committed genocide, murdering at least 56 million persons, including millions of children. 'Gun control' clears the way for genocide by giving governments 'gone bad' far greater freedom to commit mass murder." "A private citizen, in making an arrest authorized by law, may use force reasonably necessary to accomplish the arrest of an individual who flees or resists the arrest; provided, that a private citizen cannot use or threaten to use deadly force except to the extent authorized under self-defense or defense of third person statutes, �� 39-11-611 and 39-11-612." "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." "The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." "Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means of going backwards. The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. If you are going to control any population for any length of time, you must have some measure of consent. Pure terrorism can function for a fairly long time, but sooner or later you have to bring in an element of pursuasion. You have to get people to love their servitude. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad." "Most people, sometime in their lives, stumble across truth. Most jump up, brush themselves off, and hurry on about their business as if nothing had happened." "I sure learned a lot today."

Parody by Lee Templeton
MORE JOKES OF THE DAY "President George W. Bush is a blind man in a roomful of deaf people. He planned the invasion of Iraq from his first day in office. This is complete bullshit!" Betty Bowers: So, what do you think about that blabbermouth traitor Paul O'Neill's saying that 9-11� was simply used as a convenient ruse to go ahead with plans already in place to invade that dreadful Iraq place? "Paul O'Neill's revelations, the primary source for Ron Suskind's book The Price of Loyalty concerning the timing of George W Bush's plans to overthrow Saddam in Iraq should have come as no surprise. The ostensible reasons for going to war�the claimed link between Iraq and al-Queda and the claimed possession of weapons of mass destruction�have been shown to be without substance. The typical explanation offered by the mainstream press and political pundits was that September 11 was a turning point.
What September 11 did was provide the justification. 'From the start,' said Paul O'Neill in his book interview, 'we were building the case against Hussein and looking at how we could take him out and change Iraq into a new country�It was about finding a way to do it that was the tone of it�the president saying, 'Fine. Go find me a way to do this.'' And how would O'Neill know? O'Neill, as Secretary of the Treasury also sat on the National Security Council. Why the 'detour into an unnecessary war in Iraq?' as the U.S. Army War College recently put it." "'Dry drunk' [hypoglycemia] is a slang term used by members and supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous and substance abuse counselors to describe the recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking, one who is dry, but whose thinking is clouded. Such an individual is said to be dry but not truly sober. To reach any conclusions we need of course to know Bush's personal history relevant to drinking/drug use. To this end I consulted several biographies. Yes, there was much drunkenness, years of binge drinking starting in college, at least one conviction for DUI in 1976 in Maine, and one arrest before that for a drunken episode involving theft of a Christmas wreath. According to J.D. Hatfield's book, Fortunate Son, Bush later explained: '[A]lcohol began to compete with my energies.... I'd lose focus.' Although he once said he couldn't remember a day he hadn't had a drink, he added that he didn't believe he was 'clinically alcoholic.' Even his father, who had known for years that his son had a serious drinking problem, publicly proclaimed: 'He was never an alcoholic. It's just he knows he can't hold his liquor.'
Bush drank heavily for over 20 years until he made the decision to abstain at age 40. That there might be a tendency toward addiction in Bush's family is indicated in the recent arrests or criticism of his daughters for underage drinking and his niece for cocaine possession. George W. Bush manifests all the classic patterns of what alcoholics in recovery call 'the dry drunk.' His behavior is consistent with barely noticeable but meaningful brain damage brought on by years of heavy drinking and possible cocaine use. And his grandiose (and much ridiculed) plans to launch rockets to Mars (and the moon) could have been predicted. The method in his madness is clear once you understand the pattern." "J.H. Hatfield alleges that, in 1972, George W. Bush was arrested for 'possession' of cocaine [with intent to resell?] and, with the help of his father, got the charges [allegedly] erased [expunged] in exchange for performing community service ["diversion" after conviction, in Houston, Texas at low-income government housing, thus perping another felony by AWOL over 30 days (desertion) from National Guard service during Vietnam War]." "Why was this book burned? [Why was its author murdered, er, "suicided", just like the black woman suing Bush Jr for rape in 2003?] What is in it that warrants censure? Despite a spectacular thrashing in public after Fortunate Son was first released by St. Martin's Press, author J.H. Hatfield has retracted nothing. He stands by his three sources that allege Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972. Underneath heavy fire in the media, the former publisher panicked. But as Jenny Lyn Bader points out in The New York Times, "If he's merely a convicted felon... hat doesn't preclude him from... [from becoming president, er, a writer?]" "Dumb cops, dumb cops, whatcha gonna do, whatcha going to do with a low IQ?"
