Hope for A New America and The Fourth Israel - 120 Women of Faith
. . . The condition of the rejection of Jesus has been resolved and therefore the curse that locked Ishmael (Palestinian - Muslims) and Isaac (Israeli - Jews and Christians) in an endless battle is now broken. The root cause of the endless battle has been resolved and now through the restoration of Sarah and Hagar the final reconciliation can occur. Women of Peace are Women of Faith !!! They represent the family of Abraham - Muslim, Christian and Jew and on May 21 - 28 will be setting the condition for the total healing of the Holy Land. This being the center of the three faiths through this process the healing and unity of the three faiths will occur. On that basis the Muslim, Christian and Jewish world will unite and reconcile and then turn not against one another, but against the chains of immorality, racism, hatred and family breakdown.

Address on the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the FFWPU
God's Homeland and the Peace Kingdom
Are Built on the Foundation of
the Realm of His Liberation and Release
Respected present and former heads of state, distinguished guests from around the world, leaders of all fields of Korean society: I am sincerely grateful that such a large number of you have taken time from your busy schedules to attend today's event.
It seems like yesterday that on May 1, 1954, in a humble dwelling known as the ��House of Three Gates�� in Seoul's Buk-hak Dong, I and a few disciples who were with me raised a signboard that read ��Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity�� and offered a most serious prayer to Heaven. Today, this has become the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, which continues its steady development and has mission headquarters in 191 countries. How could anyone say that this is anything other than a miracle of Heaven?
I received God's call when I was a vibrant youth of 16 years, and started out on this path of Heaven with unbending determination. It has been a path of indescribable pain and suffering. At each climax of indemnity, sacrifices were made that led to pools of blood, sweat and tears. It was the path of a lonely man. I swallowed desperate tears of blood and hid them within myself to comfort the heart of God, who was grieving over the tragic situation of the son He had sent forth.
My life of over 80 years has been lived to teach the truth that I received from Heaven. As a way of summing up what I have taught, I would like to speak today on the topic of ��God's Homeland and the Peace Kingdom Are Built on the Foundation of the Realm of His Liberation and Release.��
Distinguished guests, everything I have ever taught is permeated with one point above all else. That is that we must know God and spirit world with certainty. It is not enough to have God vaguely in our head, like a mathematical formula that we once memorized. Instead, we must carve His existence onto our hearts, even into our bones. We must know the relationship that God has with us, and the attributes He possesses. We must know about the ideal world that He desired in the beginning, and when that world will be brought about. We must have the same degree of knowledge of spirit world. The world after death definitely exists independent of human beings' will, and we must know it accurately, if we are to use our time in this world to prepare thoroughly for the next.
THABO MBEKI
ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS INAUGURATION AND THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF FREEDOM: PRETORIA, 27TH APRIL 2004
. . . For too long our country contained within it and represented much that is ugly and repulsive in human society.
We have gathered here today, on Freedom Day, because in time, our people, together with the billions of human beings across the globe, who are our comrades-in-arms and whom our distinguished guests represent, decided to say - an end to all that!
When these risen masses acted to end what was ugly and repulsive in our country, they also made a statement that we who are now free, have an obligation to honour the trust they bestowed on us.
It would have been impossible for us to respect that obligation if the majority of our people had not decided to turn away from a past of division into mutually antagonistic racial and ethnic groups, choosing the path of national unity and reconciliation.
We chose what seemed impossible because to have done otherwise would have condemned all our people, black and white, to a bloody and catastrophic conflict. We are proud that everyday now, black and white South Africans discover that they are, after all, one another's keeper.

Tutwiler's Mission Impossible
The shameful pictures of U.S. soldiers humiliating naked Iraqi prisoners were the final straw for Margaret D. Tutwiler. Moved out of her post as ambassador to Morocco last December to become undersecretary of state for public affairs, Miss Tutwiler was instructed to spruce up the Bush administration's image in the Arab world in particular and the Muslim world in general.
It took her only four months to conclude this was mission impossible. She was the third "image" czarina to come a cropper in three years. Competing against the Qatar-based Al Jazeera and Dubai-based Al Arabiya and their coverage of the occupation of Iraq gave Miss Tutwiler about the same chance of success as going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. . . .

The Crimes at Abu Ghraib Are Not the Worst
. . . . When Daham Kassim, his wife Gufran Ibed Kassim, and their four children tried to escape the hell of U.S. bombing in their neighborhood in Nasiriyah, they stopped on the outskirts of the city at a military checkpoint, where, without warning, U.S. tank crews blasted their car with machine-gun fire, killing three of the children and wounding all the other occupants of the car. U.S. troops, humanitarian as ever, then took the three survivors of the attack to a field hospital, treated their wounds, and let them rest in beds. On the third night, however, the troops expelled them from the hospital to make room for wounded U.S. soldiers. As Kassim relates the story: ��They carried us like dogs, out into the cold, without shelter, or a blanket. It was the days of the sandstorms and freezing at night. And I heard [five-year-old] Zainab crying: ��Papa, Papa, I am cold, I am cold.�� Then she went silent. Completely silent. . . . My arms were broken. I could not lift or hold her. . . . We had to sit there, and listen to her die.��

Missing in action: leaders
Can we dispense with the word "shocking" in reference to those U.S. soldiers who tortured Iraqi prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad? . . .
That is old news here.
It is the 70th precinct of the New York City police department on Aug. 9, 1997, when those cops raped Abner Louima with a stick in a bathroom.
It is the football camp in Preston Park, Pa., during the week of Aug. 22-27, when those Mepham High School varsity players sexually tortured and humiliated their younger teammates accompanied by the laughter of fellow players.
Prometheus 6
Indictment of the Atmosphere
The New Yorker has an article that implies the culpability for the torture of Iraqi prisoners of war goes fairly high up the chain of command.
Of course it does. You don't take brag about stuff like that unless you have reason to think the people you're bragging to will approve.
It's like when Abner Louima was assulted by ex-NYC police office Justin Volpe in the stationhouse. Afterward he ran around the stationhouse with the stick he used to commit the crime bragging to other officers. That only one officer testified against him for that it more an indictment of the atmosphere than the vindication of the police department it was claimed to be.
War(s) of Terror -- Africa Again?
JAMES RON
U.S. doing the right thing in Sudan
The U.S. war on terror has largely been a disaster, exacerbating existing conflicts, provoking new ones, and running up huge financial debts. The occupation of Iraq is chaotic, opium-exporting warlords run Afghanistan, and the "counterterrorist" tactics of President George Bush's close ally, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, are crudely destructive.
Yet, in the Horn of Africa, the Bush administration is doing some real good. U.S. officials are condemning a brutal policy of ethnic cleansing by government-allied militias in Darfur, a vast region in western Sudan, and have used their influence to successfully promote a truce that may save thousands of lives.

COLONIAL BRITIAN HANDS OVER SOUTH SUDAN TO THE NORTH
Instead of establishing an advisory council for South Sudan similar to that of North Sudan, the resolutions of the Administrative Conference held in Khartoum in 1946 surprisingly advocated the colonisation of South by North Sudan. It must, however, be pointed out that the conference took the decision at the back of the people of South Sudan as they were not represented and because the conference was meant for administrators in North Sudan only, the British administrators in South Sudan did not attend. Consequently, this unexpected outcome revealed the conspiracy between the British and the North Sudanese supported by Egypt to hand over South Sudan to North Sudan as a colonial territory. Certainly, this plan provoked bitter reaction from the South Sudanese and their sympathisers.
Olivier Barlet
The modernity of genocide
A burning question remains : why the horror ?
. . . What is behind the genocides of the twentieth century if it is not the egocentrism and insecurity accompanying the affirmation of the individual's autonomy which characterizes modernity ? The temptation to project onto the other what is ours is strong. And a Rwandan proverb tells us : "Nta wiyanga nk'uwanga undi (Nobody hates himself more than he who hates others)".
In their quest to surpass, artists open themselves up to all influences and facilitate the removal of projections. They thus explore a fraternity in which the identities of each and everyone are no longer the centre of human identities : not a fraternity of blood, but a fraternity of sharing.

Informants told UN investigators they were on squad that killed Rwanda's president
Cryptome.org
"A CIA report considered 500 to 500,000 deaths after the attempt on Habyarimana to be an acceptable risk."
James Lyons, who led the UN investigation, presented evidence to the International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR) corroborating my proposition. The SAM missiles were seized during Desert Storm in Iraq and brought from Cairo to Kigali. The missiles were stored in warehouses of a Swiss company working for the CIA. Two RPF soldiers fired the SAM-16s from Massaka and the Gasogi hill. These soldiers were trained in Phoenix, Arizona to work with this kind of projectiles. I proved this, apart from Lyons�� investigation and from the French Quiles committee. Everyone comes to the same conclusion, Rwandan witnesses as well. But ICTR judge, Louise Arbor, closed the case when she felt Madeleine Allbright breathing down her neck.

WHO: AIDS is world's major health problem
NEW YORK, May 11 (UPI) -- A United Nations report describes AIDS as a disaster for the world's poor countries and the leading cause of death among those aged 15 to 59.
"Changing History" is the first World Health Organization report devoted entirely to HIV/AIDS, which has killed more than 20 million people since it was first recognized during the early 1980s.
The report emphasizes that AIDS is mainly a disease of poor people and poor countries. Last year, an estimated 5 million people worldwide became infected and 3 million died.

The U.S. patented CURE for AIDS
In October 1977, the United States patented a ��method for curing AIDS��, patent #5676977. The product is called TETRASIL/IMUSIL and is a one-time injection/infusion that eliminates bacterial pathogens in the blood system of an individual. It is this cheap and effective cure for AIDS that is the subject of my presentation.
As a 29-month recipient of this one time injection, I further submit that we have an effective and cheap remedy for AIDS that is ready now. Our goal in bringing this information to the international community is to serve as a conduit for the necessary global ��double blind�� efficacy clinical trials of this U.S. patented CURE for AIDS.
Black Hood "Abuse" In Haiti, Too?
Haitian Information Project
Haitians Seized, Abused by U.S. Marines
At 12:30 in the morning of May 10, approximately 20 U.S. Marines executed a military assault on the Port-au-Prince home of 69-year-old Annette Auguste, a.k.a. Souer Anne. Auguste��s residence is part of a compound that includes four other apartments that were also invaded by the U.S. military forces. The troops covered the heads of 11 Haitians with black hoods and then forced them to lay face down on the ground while binding their wrists with plastic manacles behind their backs. The victims of this terrifying U.S. military invasion included five-year-old Chamyr Samedi, 10-year-old Kerlande Philippe, 12-year-old Loubahida Augustine, 14-year-old Luckman Augustine, and seven adults.
The Marines blew up a vehicle and a substantial part of Auguste��s three-story house, leaving behind c4 and c5 explosives paraphernalia including blasting caps and igniters. Not a single member of the Haitian National Police force (PNH) or the de facto Haitian government was present when the U.S. forces attacked the residence, said the arrestees.
All the detainees except Auguste were released after questioning. . . .

PRESIDENT ARISTIDE: No, I did not resign. I exchanged words through conversations, we exchanged notes. I gave a written note before I went to the press at the time. And instead of taking me where they said they were taking me in front of the Haitian press, the foreign press, to talk to the people, to explain what is going on, to call for peace. They used that note as a letter of resignation, and I say, they are lying.

Modern 'Dreyfus Affair' is unworthy of America
Hatred of Muslims has become the anti-Semitism of our era. The latest example of this ugly fact is the vicious prosecution by the U.S. military of a Muslim army chaplain, Capt. James Yee. I call this disgraceful and shameful case America's Dreyfus Affair.
Professor Manning Marable
9/11: Racism in a Time of Terror
I think that as Americans, we must also make a clear distinction between "guilt" and "responsibility." The Al Qaeda group is indeed guilty of committing mass murder. But the United States government is largely responsible for creating the conditions for reactionary Islamic fundamentalism to flourish. During Reagan's administration, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) provided over three billion dollars to finance the mujahadeen's guerilla war against the Soviet Union's military presence in Afghanistan. The CIA used Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or secret police, to equip and train tens of thousands of Islamic fundamentalists in the tactics of guerilla warfare. . . .
There is a clear link between 9/11 and the shameful political maneuvering committed by the U.S. at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa, only days before the terrorist attacks. There the U.S. government opposed the definition of slavery as "a crime against humanity." It refused to acknowledge the historic and contemporary effects of colonialism and racial segregation on the underdevelopment and oppression of the non-European world. The majority of dark humanity is saying to the United States that racism and militarism are not the solutions to the world's major problems. Transnational capitalism and the repressive neoliberal policies of structural adjustment represent a dead end for the developing world. We can only end the threat of terrorism by addressing constructively the routine violence of poverty, hunger, and exploitation that characterize the daily existence of several billion people on this planet. Racism is, in the final analysis, only another form of violence. . . .
Thom Hartmann
The Genetically Modified Bomb
Imagine a bomb that only kills Caucasians with red hair. Or short people. Or Arabs. Or Chinese.
Now imagine that this new bomb could be set off anywhere in the world, and that within a matter of days, weeks, or months it would kill every person on the planet who fits the bomb's profile, although the rest of us would be left standing. And the bomb could go off silently, without anybody realizing it had been released - or even where it was released - until its victims started dying in mass numbers. . . .
The Project for a New American Century's (PNAC) report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century."
Genetically targeted weapons could change world politics forever, according to PNAC.
"And," their report notes, "advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."
Given that Kristol, Wolfowitz, and their conservative PNAC associates like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Eliot Abrams, Jeb Bush, and John Bolton have already brought us two of their early 1998 recommendations - the seizure of Iraq and a huge increase in defense spending - it's tempting to wonder if this is another of their other politically useful ideas being explored by the Pentagon.

Court reinstates President Roh Justices quash impeachment to end two-month suspension
President Roh Moo-hyun regained control of the nation today as the Constitutional Court overrode his opposition-driven impeachment, clearing the way for him to push forward with his shelved reform agenda.
The president can now re-start his liberal administration after being in limbo for two months following a turbulent first year in office blighted by constant squabbling with the outgoing opposition-controlled parliament. . . .
Most Koreans, watching with great interest the ruling which was televised live nationwide from 10 a.m., responded the court made a natural decision. More than two-thirds opposed the impeachment and riding on this widespread anger, the Uri Party more than tripled its seats to a majority 152 in the incoming 17th 299-member Assembly. . . .
The opposition GNP, which slumped from the majority to the second-largest party behind Uri in the polls amid voter backlash against the impeachment, will have to bear responsibility for causing an unprecedented power vacuum with an impeachment many believe was motivated by selfish political gains.

Roh Vows to Press Ahead With Reform
President Roh Moo-hyun on Saturday pledged to push ahead with strong economic and political reform, even if it brings him public criticism.
``I will never give up principles for reform,���� Roh said in a televised speech to the nation. ``I will put priority to reviving the sluggish economy but will not use provisional economic measures to see short-term gains.���� He will hold an emergency meeting with related ministers on economic issues on Monday.
His speech marked his official return to duty after he had his executive powers suspended following the passage of an impeachment motion against him on March 12. The Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment motion and reinstated Roh back to his power on Friday.
In his statement, he also made apology to the nation for the alleged corruption scandals involving his close aides and illegal campaign funds in the 2002 presidential election raised by his camp.
Regarding political affairs, Roh said that he will seek a politics of harmony and co-existence with opposition parties in pursuing his reform agenda.
``For the past two months, I received lots of letters asking me to pursue politics of harmony and co-existence,���� he said. ``So, I am determined to pursue it.����

On: Dr David Ho's Cures
Science Fiction
In 1996 a scientist claimed he'd found a way to defeat AIDS. In the wave of euphoria that followed, a batch of new drugs flooded the market. Four years later, those drugs are wreaking unimaginable horror on the patients who dared to hope. What went wrong?
Ask NOAH
Mycoplasma Pneumonia (Atypical Pneumonia, Walking Pneumonia)
Gulf War illnesses dot.com
Mycoplasma and New Respiratory Illnesses Including SARS
The figure below documents a patent on the most important ��pathogenic mycoplasma.�� The developer was the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology ��inventor�� Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo. Lo assigned the rights and royalties on the patent to AFIP��s American Registry of Pathology in Washington, D.C. As detailed herein, this lethal germ had been genetically engineered during the mid-1980s by Lo and colleagues. They initially isolated the germ from AIDS patients. They planned to use it later to detect antibodies in HIV carriers as well as to develop vaccines against mycoplasma.
Mycoplasma, for the reasons Dr. Nicolson described, and their ��stealth virus��-like capacity to evade the immune system thereby being very difficult to identify and treat, had been routinely used by top secret biological weapons researchers and genetic engineers as early as 1970 as shown in the next figure. The following is a list of experiments conducted on Huntsville Prison inmates in Texas in collaboration with Baylor University School of Medicine. This school, by the way, was also administratively linked to George H.W. Bush, one of the Board of Advisors of the University. This information holds further implications as detailed below. While reading this list, note the date and title of the first ��mycoplasma vaccine�� study was September 10, 1970, and included pneumonia. This has relevance to the currently outbreaking Gulf War Syndrome II, which Pentagon officials have stated sources from an unidentified form of bacterial pneumonia.
It should be noted that Mycoplasma is considered a cross between a bacteria and a virus. Many current investigators believe it is another man-made laboratory creation since it is relatively new in the history of microbiology... Other mycoplasma-associated illnesses include many autoimmune ailments additionally related to ��stealth virus�� infections, all of which have increased dramatically in recent years.
Moreover, serious respiratory ailments described by Lo in his mycoplasma patent report are highly reminiscent of SARS, as well as Gulf War Sydrome II respiratory illnesses. (For official reports on GWS II-associated pneumonia, see the articles section of this website.) . . .

Mycoplasma and Chronic Fatigue and
Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS)
HISTORICAL ASPECTS
. . . Suspicion by a noted researcher Garth Nicolson, Ph.D. (originally of the M D Anderson Cancer Research Center in Texas and lately of the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, CA) that the Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus was bioengineered in order to make it more virulent and useful for germ warfare was another revelation I was unable to handle, at first. Dr. Nicolson explained that he identified an alteration in the molecular structure of the Mycoplasmas he had found in Gulf War Veterans who were ill. The Mycoplasmas were found to have had an envelope gene from an HIV organism inserted into its nucleus (GP 120). This would make the organism more invasive and harder to treat. He explained that this insertion does not occur naturally, but can be "forced" using specialized laboratory techniques. (A mutation caused within a laboratory setting.) While germ warfare is certainly not a subject that is pleasant or easy to think about, we cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand, either. . .
Now that Dr. William Reeves has openly admitted that funds, earmarked by Congress for the study of CFIDS, were misappropriated by the CDC, the next question is WHY? Why has the CDC and NIH not funded any studies of suspected pathogens? Why was the diversion of funds used for psychological studies as the only explanation of CFIDS? . . .
Consider the following information supplied by Elizabeth Naugle of the Candida & Dysbiosis Information Foundation:
It has been legal for the last two decades for the Department of Defense (DOD) to test chemical and biological warfare agents on civilian populations without their knowledge. [United States Code Annotated, Title 50, War and National Defense, Chapter 32, Section 1520. Passed into public law on July 30, 1977; quietly repealed on Nov. 18, 1997 as part of the DOD 1998-99 appropriations bill, after outrage voiced by Gulf War Vets.]
Prior to 1977, the University of Maryland conducted mycoplasma vaccine testing on prison inmates. [JAMA 199:353-58, Feb. 6, 1967]
In the early 1970��s, Mycoplasma vaccines and many viral agents were tested on inmates of the Texas prison system by doctors affiliated with the University of Texas, in Houston. [Ref: "Medical Research, Experimentation and Pharmaceutical Testing in the Texas Department of Corrections" by Robert Russell Bozzelli, 1974 Master��s Thesis, Sam Houston State University.]
Research done by a fellow sufferers, Sean and Leslee Dudley from the Mycoplasma Registry, led me to the possible connection between Mycoplasma and CFIDS. They led me to a researcher by the name of Shyh-Ching Lo. Lo originally filed a patent on Mycoplasma, with the US Patent Office in 1986. . . .

Marriage is multicultural
As an evangelical Christian, I believe and affirm the biblical model of the family. But as an Asian-American, it is clear to me that the traditional family is not just a Western construct. The traditional family is an Asian construct as well-because it's universal.
