Opening Statement The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth could only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction and logic, it should be kept. If it doesn’t, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first place. Not at all surprising was the fact that this type of teaching didn’t go very well with the ruling elite of Greece. Many political leaders throughout history have always sought to mislead the thinking of the masses. Socrates was tried for “subversion” and for “corrupting the youth”. He was then forced to take his own life by drinking poison. Throughout history it has never been easy being an independent thinker! Today, our ruling government-media complex doesn’t kill people for pursuing the truth about the world. (At least not that I am aware.) They simply label them as “extremists” or “paranoid”, thus destroying their careers and reputations in the process. For many people this is even worse than drinking poisonous Hemlock! Every news story and piece of information that you are about to read in this book is true and easily verifiable. My investigation involves years of careful study, research, analysis, source verification and logical deduction. Every event and quote presented here is 100% accurate. There are many detailed footnotes, which I encourage, no, urge, readers to explore and verify for themselves. The numerous Internet sites in this book will allow readers to obtain instant verification from each and every footnote by opening the listed websites on their own personal computers and seeing the facts with their own eyes. Due to the fact that there are well-organized efforts under way to suppress these facts, some of the listed news links are mysteriously disappearing even as you are reading this paragraph. Fortunately this information has been saved by many web users and is therefore protected from the sensors. If you cannot open a web address try writing the title or topic of the article into the Google search bar and then click enter. My listed footnotes will take you directly to the news sites of many wellknown established media organization throughout the world as well as

opening the doors to a world of knowledge and information that has been hidden from you. With just a little common sense and a few clicks of your mouse, Google and Yahoo search engines now enable anyone with just an ounce of curiosity to become a Sherlock Holmes. This is not a book based on opinions. Rather it is a collection of buried and undeniable facts, events and quotes. Great care was taken to confirm and double confirm every piece of information. Any and all questionable data that could not be independently verified to this author’s satisfaction was disregarded. Taken individually, each story, quote and event may not amount to a full case. But when taken collectively this mountain of facts should hammer home the truth to even the most skeptical reader. There are of course those that have fallen under the spell of the corporate TV-media talking heads and perceived “experts” whom they worship as authority figures. These people are unaccustomed of thinking for themselves, therefore no amount of truth can steer them away from their preconceived prejudices. These people have become casualties of TV News Media lies! Read this book with an open mind and see the truth with your own eyes… The Author

Introduction From the day that we were born lying in our mother’s arms we felt comfort and security. This was from our 100% trust in our mothers that she would always be there to meet our every need. As we grew in age our mothers were always there for us. We trusted her with unquestionable doubt. What ever she told us we believed as the truth whether she was right or wrong. This trust would eventually be transferred to public officials in our society. When we started going to school we trusted our teachers and believed that what they were teaching us was for our best interest. We put our trust into police officers and always portrayed them as the good guys incapable of doing wrong and they were always there to uphold the law. Our countries leaders and politicians were our role models and the symbols of what we must strive for if we are ever to become real men. You would never question the Presidents motives because you believed the best people in the country were supporting him and he was a person you could trust. The news media was the communication bridge between all of them, the rest of the world and us. With the media we believed we were being “tuned in” to what was really happening in our country and the world. We trusted them completely (as our mothers) and never would we believe that they could possibly be capable of deceiving us into believing something that was not true or correct. The media had always been our trusted friend and part of our family from the day we were born lying in our mother’s arms. What directions we were to follow and the precautions that we would take to ensure our very survival and success in life was strongly influenced by corporate media. As a young child who would believe that the western television

media would become one of the greatest deceivers in modern history. When I was growing up I learned to believe many things through my schooling and watching television. As I became older I started to see that some of these beliefs were incorrect or even completely wrong. There were issues in the world that to me seemed of extreme importance that the media seemed to ignore or even incorrectly report. The corporate television media over and over again appeared to be one-sided and even more to my disappointment they appeared to be trying to “brainwash” the way we looked at and felt about a variety of issues around the world. One very good example today, is the thousand if not millions of TV media viewers in the western world that believe Muslims are terrorists and Islam is bad or dangerous to the peace and security of the free world. I felt extreme disappointment and stress when I realized that soo many things, which I believed in were incorrect. Eventually down my path in life, destiny guided me to a life in journalism and I finally started seeing the truth in things through my own eyes, not through the eye of others. It was very hard to stomach what I started see and learn about the “real” world. Today I find myself laughing a lot less and crying more often. Through my own personal research I have discovered many facts regarding corporate media television. (Especially in the United States) The world events we regularly see on television news have been distorted, filled full of lies and deception. The America corporate media has been shifting from reporting the actual news into a media propaganda machine supporting the US President and government whether right or wrong. On almost a daily bases you will see agencies like CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS reporting “onesided” news with a clear intent to influence the viewers thinking into portraying something in an incorrect way.

Individuals or journalists whom stand up to expose the “real” story are regularly discredited by a combined attack from several different media agencies at the same time. Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. President Bush with the help of the American corporate media lied to the public. The smear campaign on Saddam Hussein was so severe that even today if you could clear Saddam on every single crime charged against him, the free world would still hate him and think of him as a very evil man. Thanks to TV medias propaganda campaign. This is not journalism. The world today is filled with lies and deceptions from western world leaders with the support of corporate media. It is these lies and deceptions that I have exposed to you in this book. The information that I have presented is easily verifiable. You will read and learn about the TV media’s, lies and deceptions and the causes and effects created by them from around the world. Entire countries have fallen, hopes and dreams have disappeared, all the while the “select few” are acquiring more and more of the worlds resources at the expense of others with the blessings of corporate TV media. Read, open your eyes and learn the truth about western corporate TV media. Only then will you be able to see the world clearly through your eyes not theirs.

Chapter 1 Deceived By The Broadcasting Media “It’s not what they say, but what they don’t say” Lies come in many shapes and colors. They may be found in partial truths, selective facts, out of context quotes and information, partial historical perspectives and out right misrepresentation of facts. It is easy to manipulate the public. If you become aware of the methods of deception you are better prepared to sift through the propaganda for the few facts that are actually made available by our broadcast and news media. Learn their tricks, stay on your toes and become a betterinformed (responsible) citizen of the world. (Journalism & News Defined)

Journalism: 'j&r-n&l-"i-z&m -: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation and without opinion. News: 'nüz, 'nyüz - A report of recent events” New York Times “The public was told that Saddam posed an imminent threat. If that claim was fraudulent, the selling of the war is arguably the worst scandal in American political history — worse than Watergate, worse than Iran-contra. Indeed, the idea that we were deceived into war makes many commentators so uncomfortable that they refuse to admit the possibility.” - Paul Krugman 1 Veterans For Peace “Still, we have not seen such systematic distortion of intelligence, such manipulation of American opinion, since the War in Vietnam” - John Brady Keisling - Career US Diplomat 27-Feb-2003 2

“It has been reported that more than half of all Americans believe that Saddam Hussein is responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This means that the U.S. media have utterly, spectacularly, shamefully and pathetically failed in representing true journalism and reporting the news accurately and correct.” – “This is an outrage! The media is 100% responsible for allowing this to happen! They are guilty.” - Jerry D. Gray Gazettenet.Com

“In my 35 years in politics, one of the things that makes me saddest is that I've seen a deterioration of the coverage of government in the media” Congressman Barney Frank 3 Business Week “Here's a quiz for you: Name the best-known and most influential conservative commentators in America? Rush Limbaugh? George F. Will? Bill O'Reilly? Now, quick, who are their liberal counterparts? If you can't think of any, you're not alone.” - Thane Peterson 4 Knox News “Most of us whose bylines appear in the American media should be embarrassed to look our readers, viewers and listeners in the eye. Real journalists, such as Webb, are holding us up for ridicule from nations that once looked upon us as the epitome of truth and integrity. The ridicule is richly deserved.” - David Hundter - June 30, 2003

History Lesson From Press Corps to Press Corpse During the early 1970s the American Press emerged as the global leader in integrity. Press corps from around the world stood in awe of the fact that the American Press held its Government and President accountable for their actions. Between CBS News’ airing of what is now referred to as “The Pentagon Papers”,5 and the investigative reporting by Bob Woodward and 3

Carl Bernstein 6 of the Washington Post, exposing the Watergate Scandal,7 the world became aware of the power of “Freedom of the Press”. It was the press corps that held the government accountable, at least to an extent. The International Community watched with amazement, respect and jealously as the American Press exposed corruption at the highest levels in the American Government. Responsible honest reporting of events, without the distortion of facts, resulted in a change of leadership in the greatest most powerful nation on the Planet. During this period in American history the majority of American news was reported in print. The Watergate Scandal was born out of a tiny article about a small break-in at the Watergate Hotel. Here investigative journalism exposed the truth of the Watergate Scandal. Journalism at this point in time was providing exposure of information that was clear and most importantly correct. There was no distraction, distortion, deception or disinformation when reporting Watergate. Those of us that have had the pleasure or honor of meeting any of these “real” journalists and photojournalists of this time understand this. They had a strong dedication to towards their responsibility of informing the public correctly of the events of the world. How did the press corps that used to hold presidents accountable become “Bushwhacked?”8 Today the American Press has become the laughing stock of the world.9 No longer are they looked at with the respect10 their predecessors worked so hard to earn. I speak mainly of the Mass Media, not of the few dedicated small publications that are available to those who seek them out. The American Press is mostly a complete failure today.11 Unfortunately today a mask has been placed over the face of the American journalists, and now a filter has been applied to their voice. Perhaps you will require some proof of this filter??

How can it be that in a world with thousands of stories to be reported during any given day, the same stories are reported by virtually every mass media outlet? In regards to television media, not only are the same stories reported, but they are also reported in the same sequence! How is this mathematically possible? The odds of this occurring once between 2 television news “entertainment” networks is astronomical, yet it happens among virtually all of the hundreds of local and national television news “entertainment” programs every single day. Perhaps by this point you are wondering what do I mean by a “Mask”? The image or perception of the news media has changed. Today’s TV News “Entertainment” personalities are just that, personalities. They are faces, mostly attractive faces, or faces that seem trustworthy. These personalities have been hired only to grab your attention. A trend for mostly western media is taking place that proves how important the “Face” factor is. This new trend is the hiring of broadcasters who have exceptionally expressive faces. The purpose of this is to impress upon the viewer an inappropriately heightened sense of horror or concern as the broadcaster reports a story. You can compare this effect to the subliminal response of a baby who has not yet learned to understand words; the baby responds emotionally to an adults face. When an infant hears a noise, or falls down and the adult laughs there is a very good chance of the infant not being frightened by what has just happened, however if the adult responds with fear or worry, the infant takes it’s cue and believes that there is something to worry about and most likely will start to cry. The same response is similar with adults. An example might be that someone in a room says something a bit harsh or outrageous, and it catches you off guard. You don’t quite know what to make of it. You immediately look around. You see the person who made the comment. You can tell, simply by the facial expression as to the intention of the comment, you will know if it was a joke, or if it was serious. Your emotions follow the person’s expression regardless of actually knowing the true intent of the comment. The person’s expression is not necessarily a true indication of the person’s true intent, but their expression helped to shape your emotional response. (Ex(Ex-Watergate Writer Laments Idiot Culture)

Former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein told about 200 people in Tampa Florida that today's media is “more gossip and trash than news.” - Bernstein, the former Washington Post journalist who, along with fellow reporter Bob Woodward, unearthed the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, said “much of today's news has deteriorated into gossip, sensationalism and manufactured controversy.” – “That type of news panders to the public and insults their intelligence, ignoring the context of real life,” he said. “Good journalism,” Bernstein said, “should challenge people, not just mindlessly amuse them.” - Bernstein also turned his attention Thursday to the coming election, calling President Bush “the most radical president of my lifetime and perhaps in the century.” Bernstein said “Bush is radical in every degree, from a favoritism of the wealthy to a pre-emptive foreign policy to a lack of concern for civil rights. ”12

The Best Reporter Of All Time •

Bob Woodward does what reporters are supposed to do. He checks the government's story against his own investigation. That's what sets democracies apart from totalitarian societies where the government is the only source of information. 13

Main Problem The key problem today is that the bulk of Americans get their news from the television, not to mention the many who get their news from the right wing owned and controlled AM radio stations.14 As we now know, television news has now become what I like to call “News Entertainment”. They have become the Professional Wrestling in the World of Journalism. Prior to the 1st Gulf War, television news was not a big money maker for the networks. As a matter of fact many TV news programs ran at a loss. CNN took the stage during the 1st Gulf war and proved that big news can be big money.

Ever since CNN made this discovery the other TV news organizations started focusing on ratings. We must ask what gets the best ratings? Remember to take into account that Americans live in a country that has made the Jerry Springer (TV Talk Show Host-politician) Show its highest rated program, which also explains how the Republicans gathered up enough votes from the American population to “Select” George W. Bush as its leader. This basically proves that the intellectual capacity of the average American TV viewer should be of concern to anyone who cares about America’s future as a nation. Now I will continue. What could get you ratings in a Jerry Springer/George W. Bush loving nation? Perhaps telling the boring truth? Not even close. Scandal and sensation get you ratings. This is very obvious. A President getting a little extra sex is more fascinating than a President a hiring convicted felon to be in charge of the private information of American citizens. Perhaps the most disturbing and worrisome trend today is the surge of ignorant or stupid viewers who now rely on the experts of propaganda, the Fox News Network, for their news updates and information. (I by they way refuse 100% to watch Foxes Propaganda News) Their Jerry Springer approach to the Iraq invasion has helped to boost their viewer audience and their bias PR work for the Bush administration has made them the darlings of the White House.15 Is it any wonder that the reading levels of American students drop every year? Is there any wonder why the average college graduate of today has the same level of education as the average high school graduate of the 1950s?16 Are there any other news stories around the world? Perhaps it is simply cheaper to cover one story, or are the major media hiding the other stories? CNN has shaped the United States into a “One Topic” nation. Gulf War 1, OJ Simpson, Monica Lewinski, Impeachment, 2000 Elections, Gary Condit, 9/11, Afghanistan, Anthrax, the Sniper and now Iraq. One topic at a time, rarely overlapping, completely dominating the news while all other stories go unreported. Is this just due to the fact the News Entertainment World is not financially able to cover more than one story, or are they deliberately keeping other stories away from the public?

The television networks scare us into ratings. “News Alerts” and “Breaking News” have replaced “News Updates”. What is this all about? News alert? Does this mean there is some special event that we are being alerted of? No, what it means is the networks are trying to give you the impression that what they are telling you must be important. Pardon my language, but crap or trash is usually never important.

Poll Alternative News Gaining Influence •

More and more people are increasingly turning to alternatives such as the Internet for news about the presidential campaign and other important topics. In other words the people are now shifting away from traditional outlets such as the nightly network news and newspapers, a poll found. More than four in 10 or 42 percent said they regularly learn something from local television news, while 38 percent said cable news networks, a slight increase from four years ago.17

The Main Culprits TV News is now nothing more than an info outlet for the Bush administration.18 If the sponsors and the administration do not approve of a story it will not be reported. Numerous memos19 have been released that prove this allegation. Even the few good reporters still available are afraid to ask their questions,20 which is their Constitutional right. TV News is now the professional wrestling theater in the journalism world.

“Remember” Read The Stories That TV News Networks Forget To Report! The Television News Entertainment Networks have abandoned news reporting and have become an information source of opinions, gossip and fortune telling. Endless hours are spent discussing the “what if” and the “what do you think” aspect of each story. It is not the job of a journalist to speculate on or predict the outcome of news. Nor is it the job of a journalist to voice an opinion of any kind. Even more outrageous, or should I say dangerous, the TV News Entertainment Networks have become an info commercial for the Bush administration. If a story, or part of a story does not benefit the image of the administration it will not get reported. This makes you wonder how Bush really one the Presidential election? If you look very closely you will see that these networks provide almost no news. They do however talk a lot about the news. These talks consist of guessing, polling, opinions, expert opinions, public opinions, counter opinions, rumors and irrelevant information. (Not real news.) Take a look at the networks web sites: There is a distinct difference between the TV coverage and the stories reported on the web sites of some of the networks. MSNBC seems to have the biggest discrepancies in that they report a great deal more on line than they do on air. FOX is consistent in that it does not report anything that goes against their agenda. Take a look at the on line television sites and see if you will view all of their big on line stories on the air.

Remember the definition of Journalism? Journalism: 'j&r-n&l-"i-z&m -: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation and without opinion. These corrupt networks do not qualify to be called “News” networks.

For Example

Fox News – Fair and Balanced? Let’s start with the very essence of today’s news networks. (“News – Fair and Balanced”.) “News” is “news”; it is a simple report of recent events. It CANNOT BE FAIR OR BALANCED! It is information. Only “Opinion” or “Commentary” can be described as fair or balanced! Before the news stations have even gotten to their coverage they have already discredited themselves as journalists. If you are at all aware of the principles of journalism you will realize how outrageous this next observation is; FOX’s motto is “We report, you decide”. Well, this does not exactly instill confidence does it? If they reported accurate news what is there to decide? News is news. I don’t see what decisions have to be made? Now if you are talking about opinion, bias opinion, (all opinion is bias) and then there may be a decision to be made as to how you feel. So as you see between the “Fair and balanced” and the “We report, you decide” networks, these guys clearly discredit themselves as journalists. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot have journalism and balance and you cannot claim to report news, which is simply the telling of recent events, and at the same time state that there is a decision, which must be made. If I were the managing editor for a news organization and someone came to me with those mottos for my “news” network I would fire them for incompetence. FOX NEWS would give them a pay raise. This is incompetence from top to bottom.

Sean Hannity (Co-Host FOX NEWS)

Sean Hannity is typically unkind and a bit nasty. He appears as the type of person who is getting revenge for being beaten up so much as a child. His debating skills are excellent. His success comes from his natural ability to win an argument regardless of which side he takes. Credentials: None available.

According to his bio-data posted on Fox’s web site and his Journalism personal web site, Sean has not attended any journalism classes, has no formal training in journalism and has never been a reporter. He was a talk show host on a college radio station and then he made a very successful jump to AM radio. This man is not a journalist yet he gives you the impression that he is. He is not qualified or experienced yet he has been given a prestigious position on FOX NEWS as a co-host. Thousands of Americans listen to him on TV and trust his authority.

Evidence of Sean’s Non-Journalistic Etiquette • Out of Context Quotes: This is one of Sean’s most common tools of deception. By using partial quotes, or quoting words without explaining the intended message of the person quoted, Sean basically commits slander (Intentional False Spoken Report) on an hour-byhour basis. There is available a large list of examples, but all you have to do is watch or listen to him for 10 minutes. It is amazing; once you realize he is doing this you will be shocked at how often he uses this method of deception.

“It is incumbent on broadcasters to add background and context” BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook • Dismissing Facts: Whenever someone points out a fact or statistic that is working against his point of view he dismisses it. He questions its validity regardless of the source. In other words he disregards the truth.

•

Attack the Messenger: This might one of the most often used tactics of the right wing since Nixon successful use of it. Sean spends a great deal of energy searching for any controversial aspect of his interviewee, or whoever the target of the moment might be, so that he may discredit the person. More easily explained; when Sean is afraid of the topic and he has no way of winning his argument he attempts to character assassinate the individual. At times he uses this at the very beginning, before the interview starts. He usually starts by making some accusation, distracting you from the topic of discussion. An example of how this is so wrong to do might be if a convicted murderer saved someone’s life, the fact that he had murdered in the past has no more importance to the fact that he just saved a life. The argument, (as most of Sean’s arguments are) end up far from the original point or message. To paint you another picture of how wrong this is when dealing with journalism, you might consider this; regardless of Michael Jackson’s odd personal life you cannot in any way question his musical talent. Sean would use Michael’s personal life to discredit his talent. This is wrong both technically and morally and is clearly not journalism. 21

•

Factual Errors Relentlessly Used as Truth: Sean’s disregard for honesty without any feeling of being in the wrong is stunning. He quotes facts that are completely wrong. Someone would have to work full time to keep track of his lies.

(Here are just a few examples of Hannity caught lying) 1. Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) HANNITY: “You're not listening, Susan. You've got to learn something. He had weapons of mass destruction. He promised to disclose them. And he didn't do it. You would have let him go free; we decided to hold him accountable.” (4/13/04) 21

http://reese.kingonline.com/Reese_20030423/index.php

FACT: Hannity's assertion comes more than six months after Bush Administration weapons inspector David Kay testified his inspection team had “not uncovered evidence that Iraq undertook significant post-1998 steps to actually build nuclear weapons or produce fissile material and had not discovered any chemical or biological weapons.” (Bush Administration Weapons Inspector David Kay, 10/2/03) 22 2. Saddam/Al-Qaeda Connection HANNITY: “And in northern Iraq today, this very day, al Qaeda is operating camps there, and they are attacking the Kurds in the north, and this has been well-documented and well chronicled. Now, if you're going to go after Al-Qaeda in every aspect, and obviously they have the support of Saddam, or we're not.”(12/9/02) FACT: David Kay was on the ground for months investigating the activities of Hussein's regime. He concluded “But we simply did not find any evidence of extensive links with Al-Qaeda, or for that matter, any real links at all.” He called a speech where Cheney made the claim there was a link “evidence free.” (Boston Globe, 6/16/04) 23 3. White House Vandalism HANNITY: “Look, we've had these reports, very disturbing reports and I have actually spoken to people that have confirmed a lot of the reports about the trashing of the White House. Pornographic materials left in the printers. They cut the phone lines. Lewd and crude messages on phone machines. Stripping of anything that was not bolted down on Air Force One. $200,000 in furniture taken out.” (1/26/01) TRUTH: According to statements from the General Services Administration that were reported on May 17, little if anything out of the ordinary occurred during the transition, and “the condition of the real property was consistent with what we would expect to encounter when tenants vacate office space after an extended occupancy.” 24 22

4. Alabama Constitution HANNITY: “But the Alabama Constitution, which Chief Justice Roy Moore is sworn to uphold, clearly it says, as a matter of fact that the recognition of God is the foundation of that state's Constitution.” (8/21/03) FACT: While the preamble of the Alabama Constitution does reference “the Almighty,” section three provides: “That no religion shall be established by law; that no preference shall be given by law to any religious sect, society, denomination, or mode of worship; that no one shall be compelled by law to attend any place of worship; nor to pay any tithes, taxes, or other rate for building or repairing any place of worship, or for maintaining any minister or ministry; that no religious test shall be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under this state; and that the civil rights, privileges, and capacities of any citizen shall not be in any manner affected by his religious principles.” (Alabama Constitution, Section 3) 25 5. Kerry and the CIA HANNITY: “If he (Kerry) had his way and the CIA would almost be nonexistent.” (1/30/04) FACT: John Kerry has supported $200 billion in intelligence funding over the past seven years - a 50 percent increase since 1996. Here are the Kerry votes supporting intelligence funding: FY03 Intel Authorization $39.3-$41.3 Billion (2002, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 9/25/02)

FY02 Intel Authorization $33 Billion (2001, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 12/13/01) FY01 Intel Authorization $29.5-$31.5 Billion (2000, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 12/6/00) FY00 Intel Authorization $29-$30 Billion (1999, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 11/19/1999) 25

http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/CodeOfAlabama/Constitution/1901CA-245534.html

FY99 Intel Authorization $29.0 Billion (1998, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 10/8/98)

FY98 Intel Authorization $26.7 Billion (1997, Senate Roll Call Vote #109) FY97 Intel Authorization $26.6 Billion (1996, Unanimous Senate Voice Vote 9/25/96) “Sean Hannity as you can see by these six examples clearly lies and distorts the truth when reporting or discussing news events. There are many more examples I could add to the above list. But why should I waist any more time on this man. I believe my point has been clearly made.”

•

Why This Man is Dangerous: From the excessive use of his loud mouth, partial truths, and argument tactics (see above), Sean has become one of the most listened to radio hosts in America. Sadly, the less than intelligent American public has been suckered into following this mad man of delusion, lies and deception. This is very similar to the way the bad guys in professional wrestling gain their fan base.

Bill O’Reilly (Anchor & Host FOX NEWS)

To a naive person this very well spoken, extremely organized person appears to run just what he proclaims to, a “No spin zone”. Well, with a little bit of education you will quickly realize that he spins, he rolls, he tosses, he dodges, he diverts and he ends up right were he started, with his personal point of view being declared victorious. Bill is sometimes fair, but only

when there is no chance of challenging his view. Out of the Fox bunch, Bill does have the most integrity, which is a very scary reality! Journalism Credentials: Masters degree in Journalism. “There is no doubt that Mr. O’Reilly is educated in journalism.

He did forget the definition of journalism.” Journalism: ''j&r-n&l-"i-z&m -: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation and without opinion Evidence of O’Reilly’s Non-Journalistic Etiquette

• Certain Outcome: The main goal of “Bill’s show” is to prove his guest wrong, or right, depending on who the guest is. The main point here is that whatever Bill’s position was prior to his show that will be his position after the show. Even if he acknowledges a point or two he concludes every show “I told you so”. What is the point in watching this garbage? It’s only a program designed to increase Bill’s image.

26

•

Attack the Messenger: Much like the almost all of the Fox News on screen clowns, Bill does his share of launching personal attacks on people who do not share his views. 26 He uses name-calling while pointing out controversial aspects of people he disagrees with regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with the current topic. This is not journalism at all, but can be more correctly called character assassination!

•

God’s Word: Bill decides himself what is right, wrong, brave, cowardly, treason, patriotic, etc. He stands on his podium and acts like he is speaking Gods words. (The All Knowing-All Hearing-All Seeing All Wise.) An interesting observation at this point is the stupidity in

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/2020/PRIMETIME_011108_oreilly_feature.html

the American people’s way of thinking. Don’t Americans go to school anymore? Are their teachers now teaching the students to close their eyes, ears and let others think for them?

• Why is This Man Dangerous? The primary danger with Bill O’Reilly is that he presents himself in a very authoritative manner. He easily impresses his viewers while telling people over and over how fair he is. So unless you have been educated as to his true nature or intentions you will believe him. Please keep in mind that the United States is a society of mostly followers. In other words, it is easy to fool or mislead the American people’s way of thinking. O’reilly is impressive and performs a great show. The way he delivers is point to the viewers is very convincing not to mention scary.

Wolf Blitzer (CNN Anchor/Reporter)

Wolf Blitzer is the perfect control freak. If you watch this man operate you will see him masterfully control his interviews and discussions like

a chess player; strategically forming every sentence so that all information, which is not in his or his network’s best interest ends up in a checkmate. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer calls himself the Iron Man of journalism. I find this to be a very fitting description of this man. Early you saw me refer to TV news as the “professional wrestling of journalism.” Since Blitzer has given himself a character name like “Iron Man”, fits in with the professional wrestling theme. Wolf claims to deliver “hard news!” What is this “hard news?” Once Wolf was interviewing some expert about the violence in Najaf. He actually asked the person if he thought the fact that Iraq’s soccer team won a game at the Olympics and would this have a political impact in Najaf. Is that “hard news or speculation?” I would think reports in the effectiveness of Viagra could be considered more to be “hard” news than that. Journalism Credentials: None. Quote: Wolf Blitzer, March 2000: “I didn't have any college experience in journalism. I never took a course.”27

Evidence of Wolf Blitzer Non-Journalistic Etiquette •

News TV drama series: Every one of Wolf’s broadcasts starts off with at least one teaser that is meant to deceive similar to the way a crime drama’s promos tries to confuse you as to “who done it”. The problem with this is that it leaves you with a false subliminal impression. Wolf uses this method of deception every single day.

Teaser example: The US finds 2 mobile labs that some are saying are the “smoking guns” for the search of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Could these labs have been used to manufacture the Iraqi stockpiles of anthrax and chemical weapons?” Now the show starts. Before you ever see Wolf you already believe that the smoking gun has been found and that there are indeed stockpiles of anthrax and chemical weapons in Iraq. The problem with this is that other than the 27

www.journalismjobs.com/interview_blitzer.cfm

fact that some vehicles were discovered the rest of the information is 100% speculation. In this story the only “NEWS” is that 2 vehicles were found. Wolf reports all this before we know if the vehicles were actually labs or if they were labs used for anything other than legitimate purposes. Who are the “some” in the “some are saying”? Does he really mean; “The White house wants us to tell you this”? This would be more honest. Now we still have the implanted picture, where is the anthrax, where are the chemical weapons? By the time a viewer is finished watching the intro to Wolf’s show he or she has already been manipulated into believing so many “lies” that it would take at least the rest of the show to explain the real truth behind all of these issues. • Allow me ask you what the news is: Why is Wolf obsesses with asking people what they think? He has a daily viewers poll, which is usually unimportant. There are opinion poll type questions through out his broadcast several times during the commercial breaks. He also asks all his viewers for their opinion regardless of the person’s bias. For example if you ask an ex-General questions regarding war crimes committed by US troops in Iraq do you think you are going to get a fair answer? Do you really think that if you ask Dick Cheney if it is ethical part of national security to keep his energy policy meeting notes secret you are going to get a straight answer? People believe these answers because they seem to be coming from respectful authoritative sources. What they do not realize is how bias these sources really are.

• Dismissing of Avoiding the Facts: Whenever someone points out a fact or statistic counters his point of view he dismisses it. He will then question its validity no matter what the source. In short Wolf is disregarding the truth. This is a common practice among the culprits of TV News.

• Abrupt endings: If during an interview by Wolf a person starts to spill or release too much undesired information Wolf will find a way to cut the interview short. This is Wolf’s specialty and this is easy to notice.

• Factual Errors (LIES) Allowed to Pass as Truth: Wolf Blitzer once was interviewing a Democratic woman from Congress who had just came back from the Mid-East. The Congresswoman spoke of the fact that Iraq had violated the “UN No Fly Zones”. Wolf Blitzer claims to report the news for a living. Then please tell me, why does he repeatedly report news that is not true or distorted? THE UN NEVER SANCTIONED THE NO FLY ZONES!!! 28 He acts perfectly normal during the interview and never gives you the impression that he has just allowed misinformation to be aired on his “news” program. Wolf allows the viewers to believe this lie. This is not just a small white lie, but also a lie that just so happens to help the Bush cronies in giving a bad image to the Iraqis. A journalist who permits this to happen is a liar and an impostor to the entire media community! This is called intentional selective deception. Is it any wonder that 1/2 of the American public had been led to believe that Iraq was responsible for the attacks of 9/11. 29 “I could continue with more examples Except for the fact that this book is not dedicated entirely to the lies and deceptions of Wolf Blitzer.” (Anchor man for CNN) Why is This Man Dangerous? Wolf appears to be a journalist. His speaking skills and general appearance is that of someone who is practicing journalism. Regrettably his words do not match is speaking style. The end result is that people trust him. It is from this trust that Wolf deceives them. A Message To Wolf From the Author: “Wolf it is time to retire! Take up religion. When you have acquired the fear of God in your heart, body and soul, write a book and expose CNN. Clean your hands and clear your conscience.” (The Author)

Bill Kristol Editor of the influential Washington-based political magazine 28 29

http://newsbbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1175950.stm www.triangle.com/triangle.com/communities/chapelhill/community/story/2431868p-2262841c.html

(The Weekly Standard)

ABOUT THE WEEKLY STANDARD The Weekly Standard made its debut on September 18, 1995. Edited by William Kristol and Fred Barnes, the magazine is published 48 times a year by News America Incorporated. This magazine publishes much political propaganda from the US government and the current “Bush” regime. The Weekly Standard is available by subscription or you can view it through their web site at: www.theweeklystandard.com

“ While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.”

To understand Bill Kristol, you have to examine his way of conducting business as usual and his devious ways of applying nonjournalistic tactics to the art of reporting news. Bill Kristol is a heartless warmonger or war maker. Bill Kristol is the type of man that likes to work behind the scenes. He sets the stage and pulls the strings, while others do his dirty work. Bill Kristol, (with some added publicity) is one of the most influential architects of George W. Bush’s wars. PNAC (A Report of the Project for the New American Century) Bill Kristol makes no secret of his points of view or philosophy’s. He has never denied his affiliation with of the Project for a New American Century PNAC), of which he is a founder. Yet, to the general public, he paints the picture that he has never been connected to that organization.

Neither Kristol nor the magazine he edits (The Weekly Standard) has ever tied to PNAC by the corporate media. The truth is never told, and the facts behind the story as to why this remains a secret and unreported remain hidden. Shrouded in secrecy. Perhaps it’s time to do a little investigative reporting? SONNY BUNCH

You have to smile when you read an article and at the bottom it says (By Sonny Bunch.) This name alone takes something away from the prestige of the assistant editor for a reputable magazine. Yet, when the publication is Bill Kristol’s Weekly Standard, this is not so unusual. Sonny Bunch is an assistant editor to Bill Kristol and Sonny Bunch writes claptrap. (Questions and Answers) ‘Claptrap Claptrap’ Claptrap derives from an eighteenth-century word meaning cheap theatrical trickery. Kristol handles the TV panel shows, always seen with a frozen grin like that of someone whose underwear is a bit too tight. Bunch stays out of the spotlight and writes articles that highlight the objects ignorance about the real world. Together, they play good cop, bad cop with some very explosive and momentous issues. On September 26th, Kristol’s neocon magazine took on the McKinney inquiry into 9/11. Bunch was sent to Washington, D.C. to cover a series of panel discussions titled "The 9/11 Omission: Did the Commission get it wrong?" His approach almost made you laugh. Unable to discredit the message at the conference, Bunch went directly after the messengers with a headline fit for the sleaziest of tabloids. It read: “March of the Conspiracy Theorists: America’s nuts make the long journey to Washington.” Even for the Weekly Standard, this was below their standard of reporting. Bunch gave a fairly accurate account of the panel and the topics under discussion. Strangely, he never once made an attempt to disprove a single allegation about 9/11. He offered no counter argument by anyone who supports the Kean Report. He made no substantive attempt to

discredit the claims of the speakers, many who were highly respectable people with unimpeachable credentials. And yet and yet… And yet… the article was filled with insults and degrading comments, designed to ridicule the panelists. Cynthia McKinney was lumped with the lunatic fringe. Wayne Madsen was dismissed because his hatred of all things George W. Bush, and love of all things conspiratorial. Michael Ruppert was described as the granddaddy of all conspiracy theorists. Apparently, according to Bunch, not a single credible person had anything meaningful to say. Thus discrediting the whole theme of the conference and making it appear to be big waist of time. This is distortion and thought manipulation not “news” reporting. Once again, Bunch refuted nothing that was presented by the panelists. Rather, the article offered a rather distorted picture of a group of eccentric people who came together to discuss something quite unimportant and totally insignificant. So why take the time to cover the conference and write the article? History Lesson

In 1994, Bill Kristol and John Podhoretz, with financing from Rupert Murdoch, established the Weekly Standard magazine. In 1997, along with Robert Kagan, Kristol founded the “Project for a New American Century,” a movement that openly approved and promoted military action in Iraq to “protect our vital interests in the Gulf” as early as 1998. There is no doubt that the man, (Bill Kristol) the magazine, and PNAC are clearly interconnected. A following PNAC plan written in 2000, was entitled “Rebuilding Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New Century,” Century This article clearly showed that members of the Bush administration had planned to take military control of the Gulf region one way or another, long before the attacks of 9/11. Please keep in mind that PNAC members moved into many powerful and strategic positions once George Bush was installed as President. Clearly, the plan could now become a reality. But how did this happen?

Here’s how: The PNAC plan openly called for a “transformation” of the U.S. military into an imperialistic force of global domination. That was more easily said than done. The American people would have to go along with the idea, and that was a problem, but not an impossible one. Read the next line very, very carefully: “The process of transformation,” the plan said, “is likely to be a long

one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” Let that sink in to your brain for a moment. “Like a new Pearl Harbor…” “Like a new Pearl Harbor….” like 9/11. Is there any question that 9/11 created a catastrophic and paralyzing event very similar to Pearl Harbor? Is there any question that the PNAC plan for war against Iraq became possible only because of 9/11? Is there any question at all that PNAC got its new Pearl Harbor exactly at the right moment in history? Let that all sink in deeply and then calculate the possibility of all this being sheer coincidence? Or is this media propaganda of astronomical proportions, that clearly and intentionally contributed to the invasion and destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq smearing the good name of Islam as terrorists while supporting the Bush (power groups) quest for global conquest and the stealing of other countries resources for their own evil purposes! Lets Connect the Dots

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck. Makes sense right? Then if it looks suspicious, sounds suspicious and smells suspicious, then most likely it is suspicious. The official explanation of the events of 9/11 is filled with holes and numerous irregularities that are laced with many lies. The world does not know exactly what actually happened on that day, but the story we’ve been given has no credibility whatsoever and Bill Kristol knows that. Dozens of individuals and groups have raised serious and pertinent questions about the flaws in the official version of events. Bill Kristol knows this, too. Maybe, just maybe, Bill Kristol and his evil

warmongers should be nervous at the thought of this all becoming exposed. Was the Bunch story the first step in a well-planned counter-offensive? I would if I were you think about this for a while. Bill Kristol is a seasoned professional who allows very little to get past him. Possibly, there is more to this than what we’ve seen so far? What to Do?

There is not much we can do, if the public remains as uniformed and misinformed as it is at present. Walk up to the first ten Americans you come across and ask them what PNAC is. Ask them if they know the PNAC members in Washington and beyond. Most of them won’t have no idea at all what PNAC is. Try it. The corporate media won’t touch PNAC. They won’t touch the topics that started the fireball rolling into Afghanistan and Iraq. And they’ll never, ever expose the discussion of a new Pearl Harbor and its frightening implications! So don’t wait for them to do so. Read, learn to think for yourself, check all information for accuracy and then check it again and don’t forget to tell your friends. You have the power to make a difference. Share the information that is available. Not the propaganda, the information, the facts. PNAC has its own website with all its plans and goals on record. Share it with people you know: newamericancentury.org. Expose these people and their hold on the United States. This is not a secret society. It’s just that the mainstream media is keeping quiet about them resulting in ignorance to their existence and their “real” intentions. The questions about the official version of 9/11 must be answered. (Read 911 The Real Truth By Jerry D. Gray) The investigations and their revelations cannot be dismissed as the work of conspiracy theorists. Bill Kristol has to be exposed as the founder of PNAC, the organization that controls the destiny of the United States of America. What happens next is up to all of you. If you do nothing, PNAC moves another step closer to its goal of military domination of the globe. If you

inform those who are unaware, we all still have a chance to bring them down to their knees. Bill Kristol must be exposed for who he really is. This is for me very Kristol clear.

Authors Comments: Having Kristol or his people discredit the independent 9/11 researchers is like having John Gotti (NY's most powerful mob boss in recent history) write editorials about how there is no Mafia. As a matter of fact having Kristol appear on FOX News and other so called news networks, as an analyst of current events is like having John Gotti Jr. acting as a court reporter during his father’s trials! Kristol cannot be allowed to comment on the Bush administration’s policies since he is one of the authors of those policies. Kristol is the chairman of the group of people who expressed how having a “NEW PEARL HARBOR” would help to advance their agenda. This is a group that was in a position to prevent, enable or conduct the events of 9/11, which turned out to be a “NEW PEAR HARBOR”! These people had the greatest motive, means and ability to ensure that the attacks of 9/11 took place and they have been the greatest beneficiaries of those events. This is enough to launch a criminal investigation into their complicity in those events, yet Kristol is seen week after week on FOX News as a neutral, unbiased, fair and balanced journalist. This is like having members of the Bin Laden family appear on Saudi news networks claiming that Osama is a fine decent upstanding citizen, yet they never disclose their family ties to Osama. How would the American public feel about that? What would FOX News say about that? Let’s face the facts, a great deal of the current Bush policies have been taken from the (Project for a New American Century) by the proxy of the 10 members of PNAC who supported the Bush administration as they took office. Bush was not even a member of this organization. Bush policies were assisted and planned this group of people. None of the polices in place today originated from George W. Bush. Virtually all of the current policies originated at PNAC. Even the Bush doctrine of preemptive military intervention was recycled from the Wolfowitz doctrine, written by Paul Wolfowitz while he was part of the group known as “The Crazies”, within George H. W. Bush’s administration. This doctrine was laughed off as insane at the time. It is now US policy. The Crazies now occupy most of the key positions within the White House. Bush creates ZERO policies. PNAC

is the real President of United States and Kristol is their Chairman. This is undisputed...just check the PNAC website. (newamericancentury.org) Kristol has every right to appear on TV to discuss his views. By not disclosing his association with PNAC, FOX News, and every program that Kristol appears on, he deceives or misleads the public. In other words they lie by not telling you the truth about the real identity of this man. I challenge any member of the media to publicly announce Kristol’s affiliation with PNAC and their association with the current White House occupants. The press will not do this because it will expose the great deceptions and lies committed by the so-called news media on the United States Ask yourself why, in 5 years, have the media refused to mention PNAC, and why they have given the chairman of this organization a public forum without disclosing his PNAC connection? What are they hiding? Perhaps they are hiding many of the smoking guns related to 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, oil, the UN, reduced freedoms for Americans and plans for an American empire built upon a fascist regime!

White House Press Corps

The White House Press Corpse No, this is not a misspelling; the word really is corpse, not corps. The body of so called journalists that comprise the entity known as the White House Press Corps died on the same day that George W. Bush was sworn in as President, as ordered by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Definition: Corpse - A dead body, especially the dead body of a human. During the past three years, the only greater threat to the survival of American democracy than John Ashcroft and their secretive, nonaccountable Bush administration has been the tragic collapse of the American journalist. It is very obvious that the closer one gets to the White House the harder it is to find any real journalist doing his or her job. That is: is (Reporting important news and investigating the issues that affect the United States and the world.) The independent journalist has always been the bearer of truth and justice in the United States. This service is no longer available. Today, one can only imagine the consequences of having no alternative sources of information other than the corporate media. For Americans who rely on mainstream sources, the world is becoming more and more removed from reality and evolving more into distorted fantasy. For reliable vital information, greater numbers of Americans must scour the fine print of Internet publications from around the world for the most vital information about their own nation. How ironic it is that international press has become a far more reliable source of information for Americans than their own media for information about what is happening right I their own country. American television news networks today deliver a very small amount of real news to the people. What is even more amazing is the fact that these very reporters whom report the news can actually keep a straight face as they pretend to be serious journalists. They act like children playing grown-up games as they pretend to seriously investigate, one irrelevant story after another while they pass their tabloid feature stories onto the public as “real news.” A similitude to this would be comparing a house cat using its hunting

instincts to creep up on a can of cat food. There’s something really wrong with that picture! During the entire Bush presidency there has not been a singe real presidential press conference. Not once has George Bush had to answer a question that was not prescreened, pre-approved or asked by a Bushfriendly PR person who happens to have a press pass. If this is not an outrage then what is?

In during Bushes first three years as President, there was actually “ONE” press conference where this disappointing group of cowards actually behaved like journalists. But then President Bush did not face this group, it was Press Secretary Scott McClellan, and the topic was George Bush’s military record. This issue should have been addressed before Bush ever became President; at that point in history it had no relevance on the United States or the rest of the world. During this Press conference you may have gotten the impression that the reporters were actually trying to get to the bottom of an issue as important such as sending the country into war. You may further have expected questions like; how could a cataclysmic event likened to a “new Pearl Harbor” have happened under the watchful eyes of people who had expressed the need for just such an event to happen? If this is what you were expecting you were wrong... Not one single vital issue has ever been the focus of serious questioning from the “White House Press Corps during the Bush administration. Not one. “You have eyes and ears. Read and hear for yourself. I am only here to write this book to make you aware of the Real Truth.” (The Author)

The White House Press Corps willingly accepted its demotion from journalists to dictation specialists when they ignored the removal of Helen Thomas30 31 from her traditional seat in the White House pressroom. (Helen Thomas, a Hearst Newspapers columnist, served for fifty-seven years as the most “senior” journalist in the White House Press Corps) Not one single member of the Press Corps voiced outrage when this happened. They could have demanded that a free press be preserved, and they could have sent a loud message to the White House by walking out all together. Instead, the pathetic press corps accepted a verbal spanking and remained quiet… Watch a White House press briefing once in a while. For the educated viewer it is entertaining at best, almost never educational. Scott McClellan (White House Press Secretary) appears like a man who just swallowed a handful of Viagra. The power he wields over the cemetery (Press Corps) in front of him must pump up his ego like nothing else possibly could. If a line of questioning suggests that a real answer may be required, McClellan just points to the next raised hand to avoid the issue. He knows for certain that the next press voice will not dare to risk banishment from the Press Corps. He knows that they are aware that there are penalties for following up on the prior topic regardless of how vital it may be to the nation. He knows that these journalists will behave or be removed. What power McClellan has over the “White House” Press Corps… Strangely enough, the current administration has more questions to answer than the previous 5 administrations combined. There are numerous serious issues that need to be faced, that need to be answered clearly and correctly to the American people. Still, the very people in charge of holding the President and his cronies accountable have abjectly abandoned the First Amendment. (Protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference) 32 They have obviously decided that their positions of prestige are more important than democracy. Perhaps, we shouldn’t completely blame them for their incompetence. Perhaps several members of the White House Press Corpse are worried that their jobs 30

might be relocated to India. Considering their productivity, this is not a great loss to the media industry now is it? “For nearly a year, “TV News Lies” has made a concerted effort to illustrate how the TV news industry has betrayed the public. But we have yet to find a greater disgrace to journalism than the current White House Press Corpse. We have reached the stage where someone should end the agony and just call an end to the farce that is the daily briefing. It is embarrassing, it is sad, and it is a chronic symptom of our increasingly vanishing democracy.”33 (Reference) U.S. Constitution- Bill of Rights - Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. A myriad of terribly important questions have never been asked of George Bush at press conferences that never materialized. They surely were not asked during the handful of staged press conferences that were held only sporadically in the years of the Bush Presidency. No president in history has held fewer or more controlled press conferences than the present resident of the White House. (George Bush) And no president in history has so successfully intimidated and suppressed the media and the Press Corps as George Bush has done. QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT ASKED “Assuming there had been an honorable and responsible Press Corps and that there had been a President willing to explain himself to the nation, we might have witnessed the following questions:” 1. Why was it necessary to keep the participants and the agenda of the Vice President’s Energy Task Force a secret from the American people?

Why do you continue to insist that progress is being made in Iraq, despite all the reports to the contrary, and despite the continuing chaos and loss of life? 39. What makes you say that the world is safer now even though more terrorist attacks have taken place around the world since the Iraq war than ever before? 40. Why have you refused to join 85 heads of state and governments in signing a statement that would endorse a 10-year-old U.N. plan to ensure every woman's right to education, healthcare and choice about having children? 41. Why can’t you admit just once of ever having made a mistake since you were inaugurated as President? The Press Corps or the mainstream media has never asked these and many other vital questions. There are many other vital questions that will most likely never be answered to.

For some strange inexplicable reason, George W. Bush has not been held to account for anything he has or has not done. He answers to no one, surely not the people he has sworn to serve. The White House Press Corps died a quiet death soon after this President took office. Since then, nothing has changed. As the months have passed by, there were some that privately hope for a resurrection, a revival and a renewal of journalistic commitment and concern for the people and country of the United States. This has yet to happen.

Chapter 3 Media Helped Government To Forge Lies

Oklahoma City Bombing

(The True Story) April 19, 1995: A car bomb exploded outside the federal office building, causing the walls and floors to collapse. There were 168 people reported killed, including 19 children and 1 person who died in the rescue effort. More than 220 buildings were damage from the explosion. Timothy McVeigh39 and Terry Nichols were eventually convicted in an antigovernment plot to avenge the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas precisely 2 years before.40 Iraqis linked to Oklahoma Atrocity (Media Distorted Propaganda Story Molded From Lies) The Evening Standard / By James Langton / 21 October, 2002 The FBI was under pressure from the “highest” political levels in Washington to investigate suspected links between Iraq and the Oklahoma bombing. Senior aides (Which Ones?) to US Attorney-General John Ashcroft, have been given compelling evidence (What Evidence?) that former Iraqi soldiers were directly involved in the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people. (This is probably the reason why Iraq was concurred; all of their soldiers were in the United States making bombs. LOL! This is a very good example of how stupid and gullible the American people are today.)

There was a dossier produced by Jayna Davis, (a former TV investigative reporter) one of the first reporters on the scene after the explosion, that has damaged the credibility of the official (True) version that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were solely responsible for what was at that time, the worst act of terrorism on American soil. Thanks to Jayna Davis, there have been serious allegations, that a group of Arab men with links to Iraqi intelligence, Palestinian extremists and possibly al Qaeda, (Arabs who hate westerners working together with them???) used McVeigh and Nichols as front men to blow up the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. (Only Speculation With No Proof) Davis has spent seven years gathering evidence to try and prove a larger conspiracy. It was when the United States started to prepare for war with Iraq that her distorted truths and lies began to be taken seriously at the highest levels. It made good sense for the government to publish her story For their own propaganda war mission, even though there were no proven facts to prove its authenticity.

Davis has stated that the motivation behind her investigation was a report immediately after the Oklahoma explosion, of Middle-Eastern looking men fleeing in a brown Chevrolet truck just prior to the explosion. (Who reported this information?) The FBI later launched an international hunt for the men but later cancelled the search do to lack of results. (Perhaps it was a ghost truck?) Within days after the explosion McVeigh and Nichols were arrested. It had been proven that the attackers were white skinned terrorists, motivated by a hatred for authority. (Not the Arabs that Jayna Davis was so desperately trying to prove guilty.) Davis thought otherwise. She found a brown Chevrolet truck almost identical to the one once hunted by the FBI. She claims that it had been seen

parked outside the offices of a “local property management company” (Not the Oklahoma Federal Building) several days before the bombing. The owner was a Palestinian (She found their license plate to?) with a criminal record and suspected ties to the Palestine Liberation Organization. (By the evidence she is providing you would have to think that Davis captured and interrogated this man.) Later she found that the man had hired a number of former Iraqi soldiers. (Were they guarding the car?) Davis said that the Palestinian recruited them to carry out maintenance on his rental properties. Later on, several were discovered missing from work on the day of the bombing. (Is it a crime to not go into work?) Davis further stated that Eyewitnesses have told her they saw several of them celebrating later that day. (Where are the testimonies of the eyewitnesses?)

Can you see how stupid and baseless the information by Davis is? How can any one that ever went to school believe this horse crap? She said “others” positively identified former Iraqi soldiers in the company of McVeigh and Nichols. (Who were the so called others? Two of the “others” swore that they had seen Al Hussaini only a block from the Murrah building in the hours before the bombing. Iraqi intelligence, Palestinian extremists and possibly al Qaeda

Were hanging out and around the Federal building in a very suspicious manner. Why did not the security from the federal building question these suspicious men that Davis describes in such detail? With the case against McVeigh and Nichols being watertight, the FBI has refused to reopen it. McVeigh went to his death in the execution chamber insisting he alone was responsible. Davis further speculated that McVeigh might have done this out of loyalty to his family, not wishing to go down in history as a traitor to his country. Still not willing to give up her case, Davis said she has evidence that up to 12,000 Iraqis were allowed into America after the Gulf war. Some of these,

she suspects, are using their status as refugees for cover. “They are here,” she said.” And they are highly trained and motivated.” 41`42 The renewed interest that Washington took in this case Is clearly linked to America's case against Saddam as a promoter of world terror. Nothing else. else

Jayna Davis is a traitor to the American people, The people of Iraq and especially to journalists through out the world. She lied and by doing so has clearly proven that she is not a journalist and should never be taken seriously by anyone.

Oklahoma City Blast Linked To Bin Laden

(FBI refused to accept evidence of foreign terror connection) March 21, 2001 WorldNetDaily.com A former investigative reporter for the NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly she has gathered massive evidence (What Evidence?) of a foreign conspiracy involving Saudi terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in the 1995 bombing of the federal building that killed 168 people. Don’t forget Chapter 1 explained clearly who FOX News really is?

(Corrupt TV News Channel) Let us continue: Jayna Davis, former reporter for KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City, (Already proven as a liar and White House propaganda machine!) says she took her evidence, (???) which including hundreds of court records, 24 sworn witness statements and reports from law enforcement, intelligence and terror experts to the FBI and they refused to accept the material. (Wonder why?)

The Evening Standard / By James Langton / 21 October, 2002

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/1678779

Federal authorities investigating the bombing decided early in their probe that the blast was the result of a domestic conspiracy, not a foreign one, ignoring all evidence to the contrary. Davis said that a Middle East terrorist cell was in operation only blocks from the federal building and that an Iraqi national who formerly served in Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard was in contact with McVeigh the day of the bombing. She said this suspect arrived at the crime scene in a Ryder truck moments before the blast and sped away in a brown Chevrolet pickup truck immediately after. It appears from Jayna Davis’s own testimony that she was watching the Federal Building and surrounding area very closely, “prior” to the bomb exploding. Perhaps the FBI should think about interrogating her? Davis said her evidence indicates a conspiracy involving McVeigh, Nichols and at least seven men of Middle Eastern ethnic background. She called bin Laden the mastermind of the conspiracy. (Again where is the proof?) “The evidence we have gathered definitely implicates McVeigh and Nichols,” she said. “I want to make that very clear. They were in it up to their eyeballs.” (Who is “we” mentioned above?) Still trying desperately to get the courts and legal system to believe her, Davis points to court records offered in the Nichols defense that “suggest” (Not Proving Anything) he had contacts with a member of bin Laden's terrorist organization in the Philippines prior to the bombing. When she took her hundreds of pages of documentation of conspiracy (theories) in the bombing to the FBI, Davis said; “agents turned me away and refused to take my statements.” 43 (Smart!)

Why Americans refuse to believe the truth about 911 • First you must ask yourself: Who benefited from the events of 911? • The answer to the above question is obvious. The people who were supposed to prevent 9/11 benefited from it! • Doesn’t this make you just a little bit curious? • Was there a renegade group within the American government involved in the events of September 11th, 2001? There is available overwhelming physical evidence for your viewing, which disproves the official “conspiracy theory” mentioned by the US government and the corporate media?

Questions About 911

The American people could never imagine that planes would be used to attack them… The general public had been told that the US was not only unprepared for defending the nation against planes used as weapons but they were told by their National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice 44 that “we never imagined such a thing.”

Reference: USA Today 45 - “NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) had drills of jets as weapons” 2. How can you possibly believe that the American government had no idea anyone would fly a plane into the WTC when an agent from the FBI warned of this only to have his warnings ignored? Read: “F.B.I. Agent Cited Trade Center Attack Ahead of 911.” 46 There is a great deal of information proving that one of the first directives of the Bush administration upon taking office, was to have the intelligence Communities stop all investigations into Osama Bin Laden and his family. 3.

Operation Northwoods proved that the United States was willing to harm it’s own people and blame it on another nation in order to gain support for military operations. Those of you who think FOX (Propaganda) News is “fair and balanced” do some research yourself. The chairman of PNAC is a regular face on FOX News.

Don’t you feel it’s about time you finally started looking for some facts on your own. Just try, it’s easy and I promise a very information rewarding experience! There is no denying that 911 really happened. The events on that day created many more questions than they answered. Why did it happen? Who in the government was involved? What Where there motives? Why the government cover-up? Any patriotic American must ask the above questions plus many more. Stop closing your eyes to the facts and the damages created by lie after lie. Thousands of innocent civilians lives are being destroyed right now by the aggression of several agencies and officials high in the US government with the blind support of the American people. Countries are falling and hatred and sentiment towards the American government and people is now spreading to millions around the world.

I must ask: was it safer for American citizens around the world before or after 911? If you still have doubts about the official 9/11 story, Then the answers to the previous 27 questions are all the proof you need to see that something here is very, very wrong! Independent 9/11 researchers have been working nonstop to examine the events of 9/11 and they have uncovered enough information to seriously challenge the official versions of what happened on that fateful day. Perhaps the very fact that massive amounts of information are available today is too much for the typical American to face. Challenging the official story may too disturbing to process in the minds of the average American who spent his life believing in the American system of democracy. People can deal with the minor violations that are normal with most political scenes. Who can possibly easily accept the fact that their government may be responsible in an attack on its own people? Imagine the response of parents whose son turns out to be a Timothy McVeigh? Would they be willing to announce their discovery to the world or would the try to keep things as quiet as possible to hide their shame? Let’s Take A Test

Try to purchase some stock, without providing your identity and see if you can succeed? What happens when you tell an investment firm that you want to make a huge investment anonymously? You are absolutely right. It can’t be done! Inside Information Someone had to have had foreknowledge of the up coming attacks. In the weeks leading up to 9/11, someone made a series of investments that would have paid off in huge profits because of these attacks. This is well documented and undisputed. This person specifically invested in the two airliners used in the attacks, anticipating windfall profits from any drop in the stock prices of these companies. 63

63

http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html

This is solid evidence that at least one person in the United States had detailed information that something bad was going to happen to the specific airlines that were to be used in the attack. Fact: The identity of this person who had foreknowledge of the attack is known and the United States government is protecting this person’s identity! (Still the mainstream media stays quiet?)

Question: How could someone have placed anonymous put options on American Airlines and United Airlines just prior to the attacks of 9/11? (Look-up 911 Insider Trading) 64 • Why have these suspicious deals not been investigated by the government or the press? • Why has there been no attempt by the US government to identify the person who anticipated huge profits from a disaster that was yet to happen? • Perhaps the evidence leads to the CIA? 65 Question: Why did Building 7 collapse on the day of the attacks? 66 • For what possible reason would the owner of building 7 allow the building to be torn down by Controlled Demolition67 hours after the Twin Towers fell? • Dropping a large building to the ground by “controlled demolition” takes weeks of planning and preparation 68 in order to correctly position and wire the explosives. STRANGE FACT: WTC 7 was not hit by an airplane nor damaged by the collapse of the twin towers. Why did it then collapse a few hours after the first two buildings went down? I’ll tell you why.

On 9/11, by his own admission, Larry Silverstein ordered the demolition of his building. In February of 2002, his company won a settlement of $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers. 69 This is a confession to the demolition of WTC 7!

This is solid evidence that demolition teams were in the WTC complex during 911 and at the exact time WTC 7 had collapsed. • Why was he not investigated? • Why are the press quiet and the White House tight lipped? • This is self-confessed insurance fraud. Yet Silverstein still received an $861 MILLION settlement for the building he admitted to collapsing. • Are the American people really that stupid and naive?

U.S. Taking Heat For An Afghan Drug Boom

Opium Trade Blossoms Again By Marc Perelman June 13, 2003 The Bush administration has already been under fire for underfunding the rebuilding of Afghanistan and permitting that country's warlords to retain their power. Bush now is facing charges that his administration has allowed Afghan drug production to boom. The charges were initially raised by a handful of independent experts and were aired at the Senate. Critics say the administration has turned a blind eye to an explosive increase in Afghan opium production. Production of opium, officially banned by the American-backed government in January 2002, reached 3,400 tons in 2002, according to the United 69

www.whatreallyhappened.com/cutter.html

Nations. The 2003 harvest is expected to reach a similar level, making Afghanistan the source of three-fourths of the world's opium, officials and experts have said. Opium, a paste derived from poppy seeds and is the basic component of Heroin. “This is just outrageous!” said Larry Johnson, a former State Department and CIA official who is now a consultant to the government and businesses on terrorism and narcotics. “If any other country was in the position we are and allowing this to happen, we would accuse them of being complicit in the drug trade. The Bush administration is showing benign neglect.” Democratic Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware has expressed outrage on several occasions over the Bush administration's apparent toleration of Afghan drug production. Said Biden; “Despite President Karzai's truly valiant efforts, Afghanistan has now regained its status as the world's largest source of opium,” “We can't separate fighting terrorism and fighting drug trafficking, given the considerable linkages between the two.” “Afghanistan is the No. 1 opium producer again, this time on our watch,” a Biden aide had pointed out. The 2002 and expected 2003 figures mean that production has rebounded to its level in 2000. Output fell sharply in 2001, reaching a low of 180 tons that year as a result of a ban on poppy farming enforced by the Taliban. Andrew McCoy, author of the book “The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade,” said that opium was the “ideal drug for Afghan reconstruction” since it requires a massive workforce and little water in a country plagued by unemployment and an arid climate. The figures are indeed staggering. The U.N. estimates that between 1994 and 2000, Afghanistan's gross income for opium production was about $150 million per year, or some $750 per family. In 2002, it jumped to $1.2 billion, or $6,500 per family. Income from trafficking is estimated to be as high as $1.4 billion in 2002.

However, little of that money reaches the ordinary Afghan, whose average wage is only $2 per month. 70 Question: Who is really benefiting from all that drug money?

BBC

By Kate Clark Afghanistan correspondent The BBC's Kate Clark explained how the Taliban kept opium poppy cultivation under control, following a BBC investigation into its current growth in a province of Afghanistan. Some 75% of Europe's heroin comes from Afghan opium. In areas under Taliban control the crop had virtually been eliminated. Eradicating the cultivation of opium poppies was one of the Taliban's few triumphs. But when they were defeated, farmers started planting again, leaving the new government with the tough job of destroying one of the few cash crops in this poor country.

Alliance With Pakistan Will Stimulate Drug Trade, Bring Revenues Under U.S. Control Colombian Opium Production Will Soar The Taliban's Biggest Economic Attack on the U.S. Came With The Destruction Of Its Opium Crop By Michael C. Ruppert

From The Wilderness September 18, 2001 Money connections between Bush Republicans and Osama bin Laden go way back and the political and economic connections have remained unbroken for the past 20 years. And what appears to be a “new” alliance with Pakistan is merely a new manifestation of a decades-long partnership in the heroin trade. Strangely ignored by “all press coverage” since the events of Sept. 11 is the fact that on May 17, 2001 Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a reward for its elimination of Afghanistan's opium crop this February. That, in effect, made the U.S. the Taliban's largest financial benefactor. (According to columnist Robert Scheer, writing in The Los Angeles times on May 22, 2001.) But as we described in FTW's (From The Wilderness) March 2001 issue, the Taliban's destruction of that crop was apparently the single most important act of economic warfare against U.S. economic interests that the Taliban had ever committed. So why provide the gift of $43 million? Perhaps the Taliban were being set-up by the US government just like Saddam was? Critics of the Gulf War remember how, just prior to Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, President Bush (Sr.) dispatched Ambassador April Glaspie to visit

Saddam with a letter and a “wink and a nod” telling the Iraqi leader that it was OK to invade his smaller neighbor. That gift from Uncle Sam could well have been sending the same kind of message, along with necessary funds to complete the attacks on Kuwait. Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand. Until February, Afghanistan had been the world's largest producer of opium/heroin, claiming close to 70% of the world's total production. This opium is largely consumed in Western Europe and smuggled through the Balkans and was a “direct source” of cash deposits in Western financial institutions and markets. Michael C. Ruppert specifically commented on this at an economic crisis conference in Moscow, Russia on March 7. In his formal statement to the Russian conference he said; “Just before coming to this conference I read in the Associated Press, Agency, France Press and other reliable sources, that the Taliban had eradicated most of its 3000 ton opium crop in Afghanistan. If true, I view this as a form of economic warfare against Russia and the U.S. because it would drive opium production more into Southeast Asia and Colombia. However, I now suspect that this will result in a shift of opium production to the Caucasus under the Kurds, which will see an increase in smuggling through Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.” “I should note that both Vice President Richard Cheney and the designated Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage are members of the US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce. Such a move would have the effect of drastically shortening smuggling routes and costs into Western Europe and of bypassing unstable areas of the Balkans.” “I have received additional reports that Uzbekistan is now awash in the opium poppy and, as in the US with the CIA, that Russian military and intelligence agencies facilitate the trade as a means of protecting access to hard currency. The point here is not that the US it totally evil or the only country doing these things. But the US is far and away the most advanced nation when it comes to the use of such methods to achieve superiority.”

As Russian economist Michael Khazin has noted “The US and Britain and Germany started the conflict in Kosovo in 1999 to stave off a collapse of western markets following the Asian collapse of 199798. Now Colombia is a last-ditch effort to protect the US markets and European opposition is jeopardizing that plan.” The Taliban's actions severed the ruling military junta in Pakistan from its primary source of foreign revenues and made bin Laden and the Taliban completely expendable in the eyes of the Pakistani government. It also cut off billions of dollars in revenues that had been previously laundered through western banks and Russian financial institutions connected to them. US military action has replaced the Taliban government and fresh crops have been planted in Afghanistan, the limited cash flow will assuredly be replaced by dramatically increased opium production in Colombia; the revenues from that effort being needed to maintain the revenue streams into Wall Street.

Prior to the WTC attacks, credible sources, including the U.S. government, the IMF, Le Monde and the U.S. Senate placed the amount of drug cash flowing into Wall Street and U.S. banks at around $250-$300 billion a year.

following message from FTW subscriber, Professor John Metzger of Michigan State University.” 71 “We should revisit the history of BCCI, a bank used by the legendary Palestinian terrorist known as Abu Nidal. BCCI was closely tied to American and Pakistan intelligence. Its clients included the Afghan rebels, and the brother of Osama bin Laden, Salem. Salem bin Laden named Houston investment broker James R. Bath as his business representative in Texas, right after George W. Bush’s father became CIA director in 1976. By 1977, Bath invested $50,000 into juniorÕs (George W. Bush) first business, Arbusto Energy, while Osama bin Laden would soon become a CIA asset. George W. Bush’s FBI director Robert Mueller was part of the Justice Departments questionable investigation of BCCI.” About BCCI, the bin Ladens and the Bushes, see the books, The Outlaw Bank, A Full Service Bank, and Fortunate Son.

HIV Virus a Biological Agent Says Nobel Winner

71

From The Wilderness / September 18, 2001 / Michael C. Ruppert

NAIROBI: Kenyan ecologist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, yesterday reiterated her claim that the Aids virus was a deliberately created biological agent.

“Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.”

“Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet!” Maathai told a press conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing deforestation across Africa.

Conspiracy “It's true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq.”

“We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare,”

She added: “In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare.”

“Why has there been so much secrecy about Aids? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious,”

Africa accounts for 25 million out of the estimated 38m people across the world that are infected with HIV, and the vast majority of infected Africans are women, according to Unaids estimates.

The US congratulated Maathai on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but tempered its praise over her claims about Aids. “We don't agree with that.” The official pointed to a report of those comments published in August in Kenya's daily Standard newspaper, in which Maathai was quoted as saying that scientists created HIV/Aids. 72

Africa accounts for 25 million out of the estimated 38m people across the world are infected with HIV, and the vast majority of infected Africans are women, according to Unaids estimates.

Secret Origin of Aids (By Alan Cantwell, Jr., M.D.) 72

www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?

The Secret Origin of AIDS and HIV how scientists produced the most horrifying plague of all time and then covered it up.

The Green Monkey “Theory”

Many people have heard the theory that AIDS is man-made. Thirty percent of New York City blacks polled by The New York Times (October 29, 1990) actually believe AIDS is an “ethnic weapon” designed in a laboratory to infect and kill black people. Some people even think the AIDS conspiracy theory is more believable than the African Green monkey theory promoted by the leading AIDS scientists. In reality, the monkey theory was proven wrong by researchers as far back as 1988, but most AIDS educators continued to promote it to the public until now. In a media blitz in 1999, the green monkey theory was totally replaced by the chimpanzee out of Africa “theory” and the chimp origin of AIDS was fully accepted by the scientific community. “Chapter 2 refresher in case you’ve forgotten” (The-o-ry) Noun, plural –ries. 1. Abstract reasoning, speculation: 2. An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a

conjecture. “Now we can continue” A phylogenetic "family tree" of primate viruses (which few people can understand) was presented to prove that HIV was descended from a primate virus in the African bush. Analysis of virus genetic data performed by the “supercomputer” at Los Alamos in New Mexico indicated that HIV had “jumped species” from a chimp to a human around the year 1930 in Africa. Important Note

Los Alamos just happens to be the official home of nuclear bomb-building, alleged Chinese spies, and the laboratory which directed secret

human radiation experiments on unsuspecting civilians from the 1940s up to the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. The Special Virus Cancer Program (1962-1977) What scientists and medical journalists have conveniently forgotten was the fact that surgeons have been transplanting chimpanzee parts into human beings for decades. When Keith Reemtsma died in June 2000, at age 74, he was hailed as a pioneer in cross-species organ transplants. (Known as xenotransplantation). By 1964 he had already placed six chimpanzee kidneys into six patients. All his patients died, but eventually Reemtsma succeeded in many successful human-to-human organ transplants. Animal viruses were more likely spread to human beings through Special Virus Cancer Program (SVCP). This program has been mostly forgotten and was responsible for the development, the seeding and deployment of various animal viruses, which were capable of producing cancer and immune system damage when transferred between animal species and into human cells and tissue. The SVCP started their work in 1964 as a “government funded” program for the NCI (National Cancer Institute) in Bethesda, Maryland. Originally designed to study leukemia and lymphoma forms of cancer, the program soon enlarged to study all forms of cancer. The SVCP used many of the finest virologists, biochemists, immunologists, molecular biologists and epidemiologists, from America’s most prestigious institutions in a coordinated attempt to assess the role of viruses in causing human cancer. Many of the top AIDS scientists, including Dr. Robert Gallo (the co-discoverer of HIV), Myron (Max) Essex and Peter Duesberg, (who claims HIV is not the cause of AIDS) were connected with the Program. This was an international program and included scientists from Japan, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Israel and Uganda. The main mission of SVCP was to collect various human and animal cancers from

around the world and to grow large amounts of cancer causing viruses. During this process, many animal viruses were adapted to human cells. These cultured viruses were then shipped to researchers around the world. Biological Warfare, Primate Research and the SVCP Joining forces with the SVCP at the NCI were biological warfare researchers from the military. On October 18, 1971, President Richard Nixon announced that the army’s biowarfare laboratories at nearby Fort Detrick, Maryland, would be converted to research on the cause, prevention, and treatment of cancer. As part of Nixon’s “so-called” War on Cancer, the military biowarfare unit was renamed the “Frederick Cancer Research Center.” (Litton Bionetics was the military’s prime contractor for this project.) It was mentioned in the 1971 annual report that one of the primary tasks of the jointly connected National Cancer Institute, (Frederick Cancer Research Center) was the large scale production of oncogenic (cancer causing) and suspected oncogenic viruses to meet research needs on a continuing basis. Special attention was given to primate viruses. (The alleged source of African HIV) Researchers at Bionetics evaluated the long-term cancer effects of injecting human and animal cancer material into variety of monkeys. Baby monkeys, irradiated monkeys (from ex-rays) and monkeys with cancer-causing chemicals, were injected with blood taken from various forms of human leukemia. In other studies, tissue cultures infected with various animal viruses were inoculated into primates. Many kinds of human cancer tissue were injected into these animals. • I’m sure at this point there are many questions starting to develop in your mind. • Why aren’t these same questions appearing in the media? • Has there been a total international media black out? (1978(1978-1981) Pre AIDS Gay Hepatitis B Experiments

Thousands of gay men had signed up as human guinea pigs for “government sponsored” hepatitis B vaccine experiments in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Within a few years after these experiments, these cities would become the center for “gay-related immune deficiency syndrome,” later known as AIDS. AIDS In the early 1970s the hepatitis B vaccine was developed in chimpanzees, now widely believed as the animal from which HIV supposedly evolved. Today, many people are still afraid to take the hepatitis B vaccine because of its original original connection to gay men and AIDS. AIDS Older physicians can still remember that the original experimental hepatitis vaccine was made from the pooled blood serum of hepatitis-infected homosexuals. (Sick!) There is a high probability that HIV was “introduced” into gays during these vaccine trials when thousands of homosexuals were injected in New York beginning in 1978, and in the West Coast cities in 19801981? • Are these kind of virus contaminated vaccine programs the cause AIDS? • What about the W.H.O. vaccine programs in Africa? • Strong evidence has shown AIDS out breaks shortly after several of their vaccine programs. AIDS first erupted in gays living in New York City in 1979 a few months after the experiment began in Manhattan. The astounding and statistically significant fact is that 20% of the gay men who volunteered for the hepatitis B experiment in New York were discovered to be HIV-positive in 1980 (a year before AIDS became "official" in 1981). This shows that Manhattan men had the highest incidence of HIV anywhere in the world, including Africa, the supposed birthplace of HIV and AIDS. Another strange fact is that definite, proven cases of AIDS in Africa would not appear until 1982. Some researchers are convinced that these vaccine experiments served as the vehicle through which HIV was “introduced” into the gay population in America. Yet still today AIDS scientists have

downplayed any connection of AIDS with the vaccine. Alan Cantwell, Jr., M.D. own extensive research into the hepatitis B experiments can be seen in the book AIDS and the Doctors of Death. AIDS and sexual preferences It is common knowledge that AIDS is a heterosexual (People attracted to opposite sexes) disease in Africa, and that AIDS started exclusively as a gay disease in the United States. Although the public was told in the beginning that “no one is immune from AIDS,” the fact remains that even today (20 years after the first AIDS cases) 80% of the new AIDS cases the United States are gay men, IV drug addicts and their sexual partners. • Why is this? • Certainly HIV does not discriminate between sexual preference and race! • Or does it? • Is the American journalist afraid that if they ask questions they to will get AIDS from their ball pens? THIS HAS SIMILARITIES TO BIRD FLU (Mmm I wonder?) In the mid-1990s molecular biologists had identified at least 8 different subtypes (or strains) of HIV that were infecting various people around the world. It has been proven that the “B” strain is the predominant strain infecting gays in the U.S. This strain of HIV will most likely infect rectal tissue, thus explaining why gays are more likely to get AIDS than non-gays. To the contrary, the HIV strains commonly found in Africa will most likely infect vaginal and cervical cells, as well as the cells of the foreskin of the mans penis. This is why HIV is more likely to infect heterosexuals in Africa. • AIDS experts have told us that American AIDS came from Africa, but the strain of HIV commonly found in gay men is almost never seen in Africa! • How is this possible?

• Were some strains of HIV engineered to adapt easily to cells likely to be infected in gay sex? It is well known that scientists in the SVCP were able to adapt certain retroviruses to infect specific kinds of cells. As early as 1970, biowarfare scientists had learned to design certain infectious agents (particularly viruses) that would attack the cells of “certain” racial groups.

As recently as 1997, Stephen O'Brien and Michael Dean of the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity at the National Cancer Institute have shown that one out of ten white people have AIDS-resistant genes, whereas blacks in Africa have none. • It does appear more and more that AIDS is a “racial manmade virus” rather than an act of nature. • Thanks to the American medias help this virus had spread to (selected) millions around the world before a hand full of people started to become aware of the evil behind the creation of this virus. Read: Chapter 5, “Titled” Population Control in Bayang2 Gurita by Jerry D. Gray for an in dept picture and understanding of “how” what really is going on. In 1981, health officials assured the “general public” that there was nothing to worry about. “AIDS is a gay disease” was the phrase repeated over and over again in a media. As late as 1987, Robert Gallo told Playboy reporter David Black, “I personally don't know of a single case (in America) of a man getting the (AIDS) virus from a woman through heterosexual intercourse.” Gallo “AIDS will never become an overwhelming danger to the general public.” Is this pure speculation or does Gallo know something he is not telling?

AIDS Closing

The origin of HIV and AIDS has been distorted and obscured by government’s thanks largely to the help of their media puppets. With good journalism the general public should have a much clearer idea of what AIDS really is. Instead the truth has been distorted and the people of the world have become confused to the point that they really don’t seem to care anymore. Again thanks “largely” to the American TV media… Just A Few Areas that The Media And Legitimate Government Agencies Should Be Investigating But Are Not! • The connection between AIDS and cancer. • What are the connections of HIV to known (pre-AIDS) animal cancer lab viruses? • How is SVCP connected to the outbreak of AIDS? • What is the connection of vaccine programs to the outbreak of AIDS? (WHO WHO) WHO • How is biological warfare research connected to the outbreak of AIDS? • Exposing the disinformation that blamed the “victims” of AIDS for the disease. • The uniting of cancer and AIDS scientists with biological warfare scientists. • How to get around the “sworn to secrecy” problem of the government and military scientists? • The uniting of the government to medical science for military biological warfare purposes. • Exposing the long history of secret medical experiments on unsuspecting American citizens. The mysterious and somewhat “racist” way the worldwide epidemic of AIDS has spread is proof in itself that the seeds of AIDS were well planted and did not fall “naturally” from the trees as we observe in nature. The media and government agencies are continuing their quest to ignore these issues. They appear not to care at all about the fate of

countless millions who will die from AIDS and other “emerging viruses.” (Like The Bird Flu) (Speaking of Bird Flu???) News Update from Citizen for Legitimate Government October 6, 2004

New U.S. Weapon of Mass Destruction Killer flu recreated in the lab. Scientists have shown that tiny changes to modern flu viruses could render them as deadly as the 1918 strain, which killed millions. A US team added two genes from a sample of the 1918 virus to a modern strain known to have no effect on mice. Animals exposed to this composite were dying within days of symptoms similar to those found in human victims of the 1918 pandemic. 73

Chapter 4 Corporate Media Betrayal (May Be Hazardous For Your Health!)

Fluoride (Wide Range of Serious Health Problems) Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have promoted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, “especially in children.” But fluoride is not the beneficial substance that the “media” has been led the public to believe. Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, (Past President of the American Medical Association) “I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a longrange basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable.” August 2002 - Belgium becomes the first country in the world to prohibit fluoride supplements Fluoride tablets, fluoride drops and fluoride chewing gum, for decades promoted as the crown jewels of dentistry, are going to be taken off the market because they are poisonous and pose a great risk for physical and psychological health. This decision has been by the Federal Minister of Public Health. 74

“Fluoridation; it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has.”

98% Of Western Western Europe Has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. The dominating reason for Europe's rejection is the belief that public drinking water is “NOT” the appropriate vehicle with which to deliver medication to a population. India, and Japan have either rejected or banned its use in recent years. 75 UNICEF

“Certain Governments Knew How Insufficiently How Poisonous Fluoride Is” In a report from 1999 UNICEF they complained that “certain governments knew insufficiently how poisonous fluoride is; especially for children, as there young bodies absorbs more fluoride than an adults.” In the same year HUMO wrote a dossier about the dangers of fluoride (Humo Nr.17/33059, April 20, 1999). We got a lot of reaction at that time, particularly from dentists who, though undoubtedly with good faith, echoed the arguments of fluoride proponents. But the usefulness of fluoride has been doubted worldwide for a long time already. Over the years at least 12 Nobel Prize winners in Medicine and Chemistry have warned of the associated health risks. To make children take fluoride is not only useless but is also clearly dangerous. Tooth and bone decalcification as a result of fluoride even has a name, “fluorosis.” Fluoride is very reactive and it goes deep into the bones and cells where it is accumulated. Yes, the tooth surface becomes much harder, but the tooth itself becomes more brittle. From a lot of research it appears that fluoride causes joint problems, skeletal deformations, osteoporosis, and that it can even cause bone cancer. Also the brain cannot escape from it. Fluoride has a negative influence on the nervous system and the immune system, and in children it can lead

75

to chronic fatigue, a lower IQ, learning disabilities, lethargy and depression. 76 Dangerous effects of Fluoride

(Facts Not Theories) 77 Osteoporosis and Arthritis: Scientists at EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in Washington have declared that there is every reason to believe that the increasing numbers of people with carpal-tunnel syndrome and arthritis-like pains are due to the mass fluoridation of drinking water. On July 9, 1998 the Manchester Guardian reported news of fluoride poisoned water in Central India, from untested wells drilled in the 1980s, causing severe arthritic damage to tens of millions of people, a national disaster. Have you ever seen this story in the news? Strange isn’t it? Tens of millions of millions of people are injured but there is almost no worldwide coverage in the news. Open your eyes. The media is betraying us! Hip fractures: Drinking fluoridated water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men and women. Extremely low levels of water fluoridation 0.1 ppm still produced statistically significant increased hip fractures. 78 Cancer: Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological Program. Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males. Earlier studies had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities. In 1981, Dean Burk, for many decades Chief Chemist at the US National Cancer Institute, testified at congressional hearings, reporting that at least 40,000 cancer deaths in 1981 were attributable to fluoride. 40,000 cases that could have been prevented simply by not putting industry waste into the public water supply. Burk stated that fluoride causes more cancer, and causes it faster, than any other chemical.

Bordeaux Study JAMA 1994 (vice-president of the NFFE LOCAL 2050, the union representing all scientists at the EPA, Washington, D.C.)

Infertility: Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels. Brain Damage: Fluorides lower the intelligence capacity of humans, with children, again, especially susceptible to early fluoride toxicity. IQ levels were significantly lower than children not exposed to fluorides in all age groups listed. (Li, X.S., Zhi, J.L., Gao, R.O., “Effects of Fluoride Exposure on the Intelligence of Children,” Fluoride; 28:182-189, 1995) Alzheimer Disease There have been several studies linking aluminum with fluoride, showing that the bioavailability of aluminum is increased in the presence of fluorides, causing aluminum in the brain to double in treated animals. According to an October 28, 1992 Wall Street Journal Article about a study conducted by Varnier JA, et al.: “Rats fed the high doses developed irregular mincing steps characteristic of senile animals....” Post mortem examination of the rat brains disclosed “substantial” cell loss in structures. Note

Alzheimer's disease, first diagnosed by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, is today the #4 killer for every person over 60 in the US. Every 2nd person over 70 will develop Alzheimer's. (Environmental fluoride has been associated with this.) 79 READ Fluoride The Aging Factor

evaluation of fluoride's potential to cause cancer. Marcus fought his dismissal in court, proved that it was “politically motivated” and eventually won reinstatement. Marcus now declines comment on the episode beyond saying, “I was right about fluoride's carcinogenicity, and now we know that.” An investigation by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in 1991 supported Marcus's charges, documenting that government scientists had been coerced (Forced/Threatened) to change their findings and portray fluoride more favorably. 80 Why force scientists to lie about fluoride dangers? The American government is intentionally injuring its people! Why? Again US corporate media stays quiet and promotes the government’s propaganda to give a feeling of false security to the people. • I can’t help but feel pity for anyone living in the United States.

Scientific Facts on the Biological Effects of Fluorides

• Fluorides have been used to modify behavior and the moods of human beings. It is a little known fact that fluoride compounds were added to the drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia. • Fluorides have little or no effect on decay prevention in humans. In 1990 Dr. John Colquhoun was forced into early requirement in New Zealand after he conducted a study on 60,000 school children and found no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated areas. He additionally found that a substantial number of children in fluoridated areas suffered from dental fluorosis. His mistake? He made the study public. 82

A potentially Lethal Dose of Hidden Fluoride Over the past several years, numerous fluoride-containing medications have been removed from the market for causing deaths and illness. Fluoride is “highly toxic to the liver,” expert Andreas Schuld of Vancouver, BC Canada said. Schuld, head of Parents of Fluoride Poisoned Children, explained that “In the liver all fluorides interfere with the metabolism of thyroid hormones, creating thyroid disorders and associated diseases, such as muscle diseases, heart disease, etc.” Other effects can include a serious muscle disease that causes pain and weakness. He cited the recent withdrawal of Baycol, a cholesterol-lowering drug taken by 700,000 Americans, as an example of hidden fluoride-induced dangers that could be lurking in your medications. Schuld said; “Baycol has been linked to 31 U.S. deaths, with at least nine other fatalities worldwide.”

Are you finally starting to see the bigger picture? We are all being lied to over and over by US government agencies. Scientists have been forced to lie about their findings and alter their reports. The corporate media has a 24 hour propaganda support campaigns going on to assist the government to succeed in its “evil’ objectives. (Harming the American people and thousands around the world!)

Pork (By Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi)

One in six people living in the United States have worms in their muscles from eating pork infected with Trichina or Trichinelly. Many of these people show no symptoms at all. Those who do show symptoms recover very slowly and some even die. The most unfortunate become permanent invalids. No one is immune from this disease and there is no cure. Germs and Parasites Found in Pork Pork is the main carrier for the following:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Clonorchis Sinesis Erysipelothrix Rhusiophathia Faciolopsis Buski Hookworms Paragonimus Roundworms Tapeworms

Trichina worms remain alive in your body for about 40 years. These curled up in lemon shaped, invisible tiny capsules can be found between muscle fibers in the pork you eat. When you eat infected meat, these dormant capsules are digested and they eventually grow to full size worms. Each capsule produces around 1,500 offspring. These offspring get into your blood one to three weeks after consuming the capsules. Because many of your body’s organs can be invaded be these worms, the symptoms can resemble those of fifty other diseases. This makes diagnosis very difficult. Ordinary methods of salting and smoking pork do not kill these worms. Government inspections also cannot identify all infected pork.

Clonorchis Sinesis This is a sucking worm, which lives in the pigs' liver. People who come in close contact with the liver, which is a source of these parasites, are the ones most likely to become infected. This disease is common in China, Japan, Korea, Southern India and Vietnam. All of the cases found, pointed to close association with pigs.

This parasite creates many serious diseases in the liver and chests of human beings. If it is in the lungs it can cause pneumonia; if it is found in the air tubes it can cause suffocation; if it is in the intestines it causes intestinal obstruction or acute pancreatitis.

Clonorchiasis is a unique liver disease. The liver becomes enlarged along with jaundice and diarrhea. This disease could become fatal to the person infected. Medical science despite its vast resources has no specific treatment for this disease. Additional complications are; stone formation in the liver and cancer.

Erysipelothrix Rhusiophathia This disease occurs in acute and chronic forms. The accompanying symptoms of this disease are normally; high fever, loss of appetite and activity. Chronic Erysipelas causes damage to the heart valves. The out come is normally quick death.

Anybody eating pork even from a healthy pig is in danger of the above disease and death! (Mmm. Why the lack of media interest?)

Faciolopsis This parasite remains in pigs for a long time. Once it leaves the pig, it infects the water snail, which in turn infects man. This is a very common disease in China.

Hookworm Pigs are known to eat almost anything and there for become infected with this type of worm. When the worms are passed out through bowel

movements they become infectious to humans. This type of infection is very typical in tropical countries.

The illness created from hookworm disease, is caused from the sucking of blood by the adult worms in your intestines. A single worm can remove, on the average, one cubic centimeter of blood a day.

Signs and symptoms include but are not limited to; paleness of the skin and face, fluid retention in the face and extremities, constipation, alternating with diarrhea, stomach tenderness, increased appetite for heavy foods, delayed puberty, impotence, irregular menstruation, stunted growth, weak heart, palpitations, hyper-sensitiveness of the skin to cold, physical disability, fatigue and dullness.

Paragonimus

This parasite lives in the lungs and causes pneumonia in pigs. There still is no way of killing this parasite in the infected tissues.

Roundworm

This worm reaches 15 to 39 centimeters in length. This is also referred to as a traveling worm. This is because it travels to various organs within the body. The young worms of this disease enter your body by piercing the skin or through an open cut.

Tapeworm This is one of the main sources of infection from pork. In 1947 Stoll wrote a report called “Wormy World.” In this report it was estimated that more than 2.5 million persons were infected with tapeworm throughout the world.

In short, the pig, the supreme germ carrier, causes many serious and fatal illnesses. Among them are but not limited to; dysentery, thrichinosis, tapeworm, roundworm, hookworm, jaundice, pneumonia, suffocation, intestinal obstruction, acute pancreatitis, liver enlargement, diarrhea, emaciation, stone formation in the live, cancer, anaemia, high fever, stunted growth in children, typhoid, lameness, heart trouble, abortion, sterility and sudden death.

• It’s dangerous to eat. 86

Pork By Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi

Worms from pork have infected millions of people! There is no way in preparing pork for human consumption. Selling pork is a major worldwide business. (Especially in the US) The American people believe “US inspected” pork is safe to eat. Thanks to corporate media propaganda, distortion and lies thousand fall ill every year. • Why does the US government continue to “intentionally” injure its citizens with false information? • What possible benefit could this possibly have?

• • • • •

Before you knowingly eat or drink a product sweetened with aspartame, read the article below. If you still aren't convinced of aspartame's lethality, go to the Mission Possible website at www.dorway.com and follow your investigative senses. If you still aren't convinced that aspartame is an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved poison sponsored by the government and media, then it must be your fate to become very sick and eventually receive a painful death after suffering from a variety of chronic illnesses. Of course, you may get lucky and be spared years of ill health by suddenly and mercifully dropping dead from aspartame in the prime of your life. 88

I assure you that MONSANTO, (the creator of Aspartame,) knows exactly how deadly their product is. They fund the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association, Congress and the Conference of the American College of Physicians.

These people have the contacts and the power to keep their product on the market. Public health means nothing to them! This is all about making money. Senator Howard Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of Aspartame. This bill would have started independent studies on problems existing with seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral symptoms. It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies. Aspartame is extremely poisonous and this is why. One of the toxic ingredients of Aspartame is wood alcohol. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, (30 degrees C) the wood alcohol in the Aspartame is converted to Formaldehyde and then it changes to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class of poisons as Cyanide and Arsenic, which are very deadly. The only difference is that; Formaldehyde kills quietly and it takes a little longer. And, during the process of killing people, it causes all kinds of neurological problems. Aspartame has been approved “safe” to consume by the FDA in the United States. This is fraud of monstrous proportions! Never has the FDA approved a product that was more dangerous to consume! Aspartame can even cause death in diabetic patients and is linked to the “Gulf War Syndrome” that American soldiers experienced when they returned from the 1st Gulf War. 88

www.rense.com/general36/aaak.htm

Several thousand pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember that heat can liberate the methanol from the Aspartame at 86 degrees F.) These diet drinks sat on pallets in the 120-degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time. The service men and women drank them all day long, and all of their symptoms are identical to Aspartame Poisoning. 89

There are now more than 5,000 products world wide containing the chemical “aspartame.” Is this a big story or what? I would normally call this “Breaking News.” But, the problem here is that all the information I am now telling you about aspartame has been available for years, yet the media has had no interest in telling you about it. Have they been paid off or warned to keep quiet by the US government? Tell me, why would you threaten a group to keep their mouths shut about a product that endangers the health of thousands around the world and even kills? Are their no more caring brave journalists left on this planet? Shall we continue? Of course we will! Why? Because I am one of those caring brave journalist who is trying his best to warn the world of aspartame dangers and all of the “TV Media” lies.

It is a scientific fact that Aspartame is dangerous to consume. Hundreds of agencies throughout the world have proven this fact. Still countries around the world “trust” the word of the FDA to the point, that they will not question their decisions even when they are clearly wrong.

Director of Mission Possible, Betty Martini, has spent the last ten years of her life warning the world about the dangers of aspartame. People regularly email her information and their experiences to her comprehensive website www.dorway.com. It is on this website that many people find the documentation for their ill health being caused by their consumption of aspartame containing products.

The following is one case involving a young female athlete: “Hi I am a 26-year-old female athlete. In order to keep in shape and maximize my training, I have been taking a lot of sport supplements, protein powders and consuming various other foods containing a high level of aspartame.” “I would estimate that I consume approximately 860 mg. of aspartame each day. Over the past year I have stopped menstruating completely. I am at a healthy weight of 150 lbs and maintain a healthy percentage of body fat. 89

ASPARTAME - THE SILENT KILLER / Ron Harder 2002

Other symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, depression, mood swings, personality changes and amenorrhea. (Absence of menstrual periods) Could Aspartame be responsible for me losing my period and experiencing the other related symptoms? Please help me?” Due to several recent articles about sudden death and the numerous reports of athletes dropping dead who probably are using diet drinks, proteins drinks, etc. laced with aspartame, Dr. Bowen has written an in-depth report on aspartame and sudden death. The full text of this report is at their website www.dorway.com. 90

Epidemic Of Sudden Deaths In Those Exposed To Aspartame By James Bowen, M.D. The horrendous toxicity of aspartame has been well documented ever since its inception. Sudden deaths logically arise from several of its many toxicities. For example, Christina Onassis, Patty Crane, and Carol Hamm are amongst those that I know of who were using aspartame and were addicted to it, and visibly deteriorating under its influence when they suddenly, and unexpectedly, died there from. Patty Crane was found dead amongst a litter of diet Pepsi cans. Her mother, Betty Hayland, was exposing Patty's “Nutra Death” on TV. She came to me to learn the biochemical basis of its deadliness. After learning some of the biochemistry, she asked, “Dr Bowen, how could such a poisonous chemical ever be on the market?” I answered “Betty! This is organized crime in our government.” She became furious with me! “That I should suggest there is organized crime in the U.S. government! What a nut!”

A few days later they called and threatened her life. A couple days later two men tried to drag her into a car. She was able to make her escape by breaking free and running. A couple days later her husband Dave, who now has no question that organized crime runs our government, came home and found her shot dead in a puddle of blood on the floor. Carol Hamm was a close friend, not my patient. So medical confidentiality does not prevent my discussing her tragedy. We played cards together a couple of times per week and she constantly had diet drinks in her hands while she played. She, over a short period of a few weeks use, visibly deteriorated physically and mentally right in front of my eyes. Her card playing deteriorated as well. She would defiantly look me right in the eye as she drank diet coke to let me know that she didn't care that I had warned her of what I knew about aspartame. She was going to satisfy her addiction, no matter what! What came was that, one night she didn't show for cards, and her daughter Debby called the police. When we arrived at her house she was lying dead in bed with bloody fluid running out of her mouth. In all three cases the autopsy report revealed only “unexplained pulmonary edema.” This is the difference between death from aspartame metabolism and regular alcoholism: You can't smell it on the breath, and medical politics forbids attributing anything evil to “Nutra Sweet.” Jim Krossik was an employee at Searle's first aspartame plant in Phoenix. He developed neural toxicity from breathing the aspartame dust in the air in the plant and passed out on the plant floor. When he recovered and returned to work, he found that all employees were required to wear a facemask lest they breathe the deadly Nutra Sweet dust. He complied, but absorbed enough through his skin that he passed out on the floor dead. The autopsy report revealed a “severe alcoholic cardiomyopathy” as its only finding. Jim drank no alcoholic beverages. Why cover he truth? This has been published extensively at: http://www.dorway.com The Atlanta Journal Constitution recently published an article about sudden death referring to Science magazine. It reported that 450,000 people drop

dead each year and discussed consumers with an irregular heart rhythm. Aspartame notoriously triggers an irregular heart rhythm. Frankly, this is probably an understatement as to deaths. On Sunday Dec 16, 2001, the Telegraph in the UK wrote an article on sudden death and epilepsy. Aspartame is also a seizure-triggering drug as proven on a pivotal study. During a 52-week oral toxicity study, seven infant monkeys were fed the toxin. Five had grand mal seizures and one died. The FDA report of 92 symptoms, lists four types of seizures triggered by this neurotoxin. To make matters worse, aspartame interacts with anti-seizure medication such as Dilantin and similar drugs. At www.dorway.com You will see two reports About aspartame and sudden death For Further Detailed Information Read: • Aspartame and cardiac and chest problems by H. J. Roberts, M.D. • Aspartame, MSG and Other Excitotoxins and the Hypothalamus by neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. 91 Both of the above Doctors Have written books on Aspartame Sudden Death Syndrome What are the motives behind the fraudulent approval of aspartame by the FDA? Have the “big” companies bought them off? Perhaps they made a big mistake and now in fear of multi-million dollar law suites, they keep quiet and try to cover their mistake? (By allowing more to die?) Or is this some secret plan to reduce the world’s population for take-over by the New World Order? Whatever the reasons that are behind this fraud, it is not of my first concern. My first concern is to show you undisputable evidence that Aspartame is dangerous and you must stop all consumption of this product immediately if you value your good health and the health of your families.

Aspartame Poisoning Toxic Effects From Aspartame Use It often takes at least sixty days without any aspartame or nutrasweet in your system to see a significant improvement in your health. Improvement in health is also often accompanied by weight loss.

Check product labels very carefully (including vitamins and pharmaceuticals). Look for the word “aspartame” on the label and avoid it. (Further, it is a good idea to avoid " “Acesulfame-k” or “sunette.”)

Finally, avoid getting nutrition information from junk food industry PR organizations such as IFIC or organizations that accept large sums of money from the junk and chemical food industry such as the American Dietetic Association.

Chapter 5 The (Bush) Threat Is A Reality

Bush’s Environmental Destruction • Bush Reduced restrictions of toxic wastes entering American water systems water systems. • He reduced regulations on emissions by coal burning power plants. • Bush ordered the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) not to conduct any studies that may conflict with the Bush/PNAC administrations agenda to provide business to corporations at the expense of both public health and safety. • He changed the data in an EPA report to exclude its findings about the dangers of global warming. • Bush withdrew the United States from the Kyoto Treaty and international efforts to reduce the greenhouse effect. The environmental policies of George W. Bush will result in more death and destruction than anything else in history! It is almost as if he and his exclusive group are trying to end life on this planet. Have you already read bought Bayang2 Gurita? Perhaps you should stop reading for a few minutes and buy a copy? It is a valuable resource while reading this book. Deb Callahan

“The Bush White House is becoming

The most environmentally hostile in history.”

(President for the League of Conservation Voters.)

Pentagon Tells Bush Climate Change Will Destroy Us
A secret Pentagon report warns of rioting and nuclear war
Britain will be “Siberian” in less than 20 years
Threat to the world is greater than terrorism A secret report, hidden by US defense chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a “Siberian” climate by

2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world. The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop nuclear capabilities to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts whom have read its contents. These findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Experts said that they would also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defense is a priority. 93

MEDIA, MURDER AND AMERICAN MORALITY! TEACHING AMERICA TO ENJOY THE KILL!

In all of history only a handful of men have ever started a war. Yet millions of people died from the result. Is today any different?

Thou Shall Not Kill!

93

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/imternational/story/0,6903,1153513,00.html

Reads the commandment from God to Moses. This is the Commandment embraced by millions of those who believe in the guidance of a Supreme Being. (One God) Further, this is a warning to those who just happened to forget that killing is evil.

And yet, using the name of liberty and freedom, human beings kill over and over again! We kill those whose ideologies we oppose ours and those whose intentions we “suspect” are not good. We defend the right to kill when our leaders claim, even without any proof what so ever, that killing is necessary. We kill with glory and we kill with honor. We kill with shock and we kill with awe. We call this war. Then after all of this, after thousands have died for an “unclear cause.” After millions have suffered and lost all hope. Only then do we open our eyes, bow down our heads in shame and say in despair; “What have we done?” The United States is the greatest killing machine the world has ever known. Their unbeatable killing technology has been sold to the American public (Through the media) as a symbol of pride and superiority. Killing the enemy, real or imagined, has been promoted to Americans as the right thing to do. They have been manipulation by the corporate media and the scientifically (CIA) designed Hollywood programs, which are guaranteed to wash your brain and manipulate your thinking towards the enjoyment of action and killing. A relentless campaign has been waged on the American people to make them comfortable with the killing game known as war. Is this so hard for you to believe that Hollywood and corporate media Is brain washing the American people?

Remember Arnold Swarzenegger?

The Terminator

With no political background he still was able to become the governor of California. How is this possible? Well it is very simple to explain. The people associate Arnold as “The Terminator.” The terminator (Assassin) who destroys everybody and everything that gets into his way was elected as governor for his role-playing on TV! The American’s do not know fantasy from reality. They have been brainwashed. Here is another example: Clint Eastwood

1986: Eastwood Voted Mayor By Landslide “Residents of the Californian town of Carmel have overwhelmingly voted for actor Clint Eastwood as their mayor.” Dirty Harry becomes mayor in Carmel. All that you need to become mayor in this town is a 44-Magnum and the image of being the toughest cop on TV and you are guaranteed to win the election. In the three years since the TV media helped George Bush & PNAC unleash his invasion on Iraq, half the United States appears to have no problem in not asking the moral questions that “must be” asked in waging a war for no clear reason. In fact, they seem to have no problem at all with the continuing death and destruction in Iraq. To the contrary, you will see “unexplainable” pride while watching America at War on the nightly news. You can’t help but wonder if the people of the United States have even the slightest idea that killing for an unjustifiable reason is called murder. Most Americans hardly realize that daisy cutters, bunker busters, javelins and tomahawks can mercilessly wipeout so many lives. Nor do they seem to care. American weapons of mass destruction (WMD) like depleted uranium shells, are never mentioned by the American media, despite their long-term killing effects. Nor has there been any protesting against the

use of outlawed weapons like napalm. (Well documented for its effective killing and destruction during the Vietnam War.) The news networks did, however publicize with admiration, the 500-pound bombs that flattened Fallujah to the ground. Of course, the American corporate media never showed any pictures of the dead and dismembered women, children and old people who fell victim to these bombs. Even the mutilated and dismembered American soldiers and who fell victims to the war itself are “never” shown on American TV. For many Americans, they continue to live in an illusion of a bloodless war, with minimal collateral damage, limited civilian casualties and with surgical, smart weapons that miraculously know whom to kill. If only America would wake up and see how wrong they really are? Most of the American people today have no more morality and family values are not important anymore. You will see (on a regular bases) children swearing at and bad mouthing their own mothers and fathers in public. What you call “good people” are now an endangered species in the United States. The Americans today have become very individual and for the most part, only care about themselves. Religious values are not important anymore to the majority. Enhancing these new (unmoral) set of values is the news media and Hollywood. You can see now why so many people in the United States don’t seem to care very much about that “very important” law given to Moses from God himself: Thou Shall Not Kill!

Listen closely to the TV performers who act as journalists. Open your eyes and look at their persistent, nonstop messages about war and its weaponry. The Americans are being conditioned, on a minute-by-minute, day-by-day, basis, to take pride in America’s ability to destroy life on a massive scale. The ability to kill in great numbers is broadcasted as a good accomplishment for the powerful United States of America! Killing as a primary foreign policy tool is no longer a moral issue. The only issues that seem to matter anymore are when and where Americans should kill and the importance of

continuing to produce more and more devastating weapons of mass destruction. Selling Death to The Public Corporate media creates a false picture and image to deceive the American public into believing that this newly built W.M.D. is such a wonderful scientific break through and is good for the security of the United States of America. These messages of deceit imply that weapons, by their very existence, make Americans safer, not the fact that these weapons kill in great numbers. The messages of deceit give the people comfort in (falsely) believing that there is some kind of mystical relationship between the destructive power of W.M.D. and their freedom. Corporate media enhance their messages by using words like freedom, national security and patriotism. They assure the public that the American troops are the best fighting force in the world because they are best equipped to kill. They lead the people to believe that all who die at America’s hands are their enemies. (New born babies and their mothers has become America’s enemy?) There is no reality in the tools of war the media keeps selling to the public. Where is the morality in the weapons they praise? What kind of human being supports a meaningless war (like with Iraq) or the weapons produce to create the war in the first place? Americans are so proud and happy and even celebrate the fact that they are creating an endless array of devices designed to destroy life, to destroy this planet and eventually these weapons will to destroy the proud and arrogant people of the United States. How deluded and misguided the Americans have become! It’s a shame that they cannot look beyond their pride for just one minute and take a long look at themselves in the mirror and see what they really have become. Animals treat animals better than Americans have treat millions of human beings around the globe. • When the American news media breaks a story on a new technology of death, do they also explain to you about the many innocent people who will die as a result from this new weapon? • Does the American news media ever explain to you that most people who die in war have nothing at all to do with starting the war that killed them?

• When will corporate media start mention that in all of history only a handful of men have ever started a war, yet millions of people have died has a result? • When will George W. Bush and his vice-president Dick Cheney be brought to an international court and be punished for their crimes against humanity? The media continues to brainwash the American people into believing that the only way a real patriot can be proud of this country is if they (Americans) are better able to kill or defeat, non-Americans. Killing on a small scale is extensively promoted in the United States. Hunting and killing animals for sport, is considered the American way of life and their Constitutional right. Where is the humanity in killing animals for sport? I’ve personally watched American teen-age boys shoot an animal many times over and over until beyond the point of recognition and then start laughing hysterically and jumping up and down in celebration of their fresh kill. All the while, their mother was looking out of the kitchen window with a pleased look on her face that her children were enjoying their time. This animal was shot for sport only, not for food. Where is the morality in this? There are surely some serious moral questions about the very act of taking children in their early years of age on a hunting trip and then teaching them to enjoy killing for sport. This is so very typical in the United States, especially the mid-west and western states. The message is clear. You are anti-American if you even question whether there is something wrong when people enjoy killing living animals. It is scary when you realize that American people are not disturbed or have any feelings of remorse after blowing a hole in a deer or a duck for sport. This does explain why so many Americans have become desensitized to many forms of death. This explains why so many Americans have few objections with war. The Vice-President of United States is seen hunting and even mistaking a man for a game bird and he shot him in the face with a shotgun. Charges of irresponsibility with a firearm should be brought against him but were not. Why? Americans have lost their morality and enjoy the sport of killing. Cheney Shoots man in Hunt Error

(BBC News, UK - Feb 12, 2006)

The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has accidentally shot and injured a man during a quail-hunting trip in Texas. The American people have subtly and directly been brainwashed to enjoy, appreciate and take pride in killing. Children’s parents and the Vicepresident of the United States are promoting killing on a small scale as the American way of life. No wonder Americans enjoy to kill. This is what America has become, a heartless, merciless killing machine for sport!

Today, a hand full of men will decide on whom, where and when to wage war. The corporate news media will promote and support this war. The media will benefit greatly from their “exclusive” coverage rights on the war. They (media) have failed to question the morality of this or any other war where W.M.D are celebrated for there effectiveness in killing so many people who had nothing to do with the start of the war in the first place. The groundwork has been laid for future wars, for greater weapons, and for more deaths of untold numbers of people who once again will have had no part in starting the wars in which they die. The moral issues of war and killing have been swept aside in the frenzy that erupted after the attacks on September 11th, 2001. The US corporate media will not bring up the moral issues of these wars and prisoner abuses. The leaders in Washington will do what they can to prevent their own people from ever having morals again. War is hell and the Americans today have created this hell in Afghanistan, Iraq and soon Iran and Syria.

The Americans through the media, Hollywood and government brainwashing programs have learned to enjoy killing. They have lost their morals, care and concern for their fellow human beings. In essence, the people of the United States of America have begun

to become less than human beings, less than even animals. Only Iblis and his companions of hell can appreciate these kinds of creatures. May God have mercy on them all on Judgment Day!

UNNATURAL DISASTER IN IRAQ!! The war against Iraq is no less catastrophic than the tsunami that just recently devastated Indonesia and other areas of Asia. On December 26, 2004 the waters of the Indian Ocean rose up to kill mercilessly more than 200,000 innocent people without warning. The tidal wave caused by an earthquake, transformed many parts of Aceh in northern Indonesia into a desert wasteland. Even building foundations were removed from sight. Villages that once were busy with daily activities were no longer visible. Immediately after the tsunami there came a flood of concern and sympathy from all over the world for the victims of this catastrophic disaster. The response was immediate and overwhelming. Nations virtually fought one another to be first and best in helping the survivors. Organizations and individuals from all walks of life came and offered their help and condolences to the survivors. For just a small moment, the world had united and become human again.

Camcorder images of the first moments of the tsunami were flashed over and over again on television screens throughout the world. Photos of the dead being retrieved from their watery graves shocked the world! Lists of the dead and missing were updated by the hour. The devastation from this

tsunami, which was the worst in recent history, was sketched in the public’s mind forever. Why were the world and its leaders so willing to help Indonesia and the other Asian countries hit by the tsunami? The quick response from the world brought tears to the eyes of the survivors and world leaders alike. This was the result of a massive worldwide media corporations providing true, extensive coverage and finally doing their jobs and reported the news, as real journalists should. For a moment the world seemed to care.

March 2003 The combined forces of the US and its coalition partners rose up to swallow nearly 100,000 innocent people in Iraq after months of threats and warnings. This “unnatural disaster” set off by a combination of American and foreign invading forces turned Iraq into a country of murders, torturers with devastation and despair found everywhere. The outpouring of concern and sympathy for the victims of this unnatural “disaster” was immediate and overwhelming throughout most of the world, but only marginal in the United States itself. Nations competed to be the most outspoken in their support or opposition to the invasion, but the dead and the dying and the survivors were pretty much on their own. Help was not going to be coming to the people of Iraq as it did to Aceh.

Iraq became a daily scene of death and destruction, corporations such as Halliburton stumbled over themselves for billion dollar contracts to rebuild the bombed out cities. There were no camcorder images of the carnage to counter the outrageous claims of a surgical and humane invasion, and there were no nonstop images of mutilated women and children and old people. What would you expect with an illegal and immoral war?

CNN and other US media were on the front lines. They were not bringing back the “real” images of the war. They were operating as American propaganda machines and were very convincing to the American people that their government was doing the right thing and that you should be proud that your sons are fighting to help protect America from terrorism. What terrorism? What have the Iraq’s ever done to the United States? The Americans that have died in Iraq died for no reason. They were not defending their country but they were supporting the greedy bush administration that stole the assets of an innocent country.

The total number of American military deaths and injuries have been removed from the public eye altogether. Who knows how many Americans have really died in Iraq? Photographs of flag-draped military coffins were forbidden and the Iraqi Ministry of Heath had been ordered to stop counting all civilian deaths. The unnatural disaster of the Iraq invasion was killing more and more civilians each day, while soldiers were being blown into pieces by suicide bombers for what they were led to believe was defending their country. As I mentioned earlier, “The good humane American people are an endangered species.” God help this planet if we cannot find a way to defend ourselves from their global aggressions. The tsunami came and went in a matter of minutes. The dead cannot be brought back but new lives are being born again. The memories of that devastation will never be forgotten. The healing process will take a long time, but it has begun. Hope is on the horizon of starting life all over again, perhaps even a life better than before.

The global communities have done everything possible to prevent this from happening again. Early warning systems have been installed and are in practice as of the writing of this book. These actions are normal from those who care about people they have never even met.

The war in Iraq still continues. This “unnatural disaster” has already “officially” killed more than 1,350 US military personnel. Many thousands more will never be able to lead a normal life because of the injuries they received while doing their patriotic killing duty for the United States. There are daily deaths, explosions and the kidnappings with no end in sight. This “unnatural disaster” came and years later is still there.

• • •

When will the people of Iraq get their second chance at life? When will they be able live normally again without the fear of being shot every time they leave their home? And finally; when will the global community set up a network around Iraq to protect them from future aggressors (Like United States and England) and allow them to live in a state of peace and security?

The unnatural disaster caused by the invasion and occupation of Iraq was man-made, calculated, preventable and unnecessary. There are clearly people to blame for this ultimate horror. Even with the media protecting them we still know who they are. They must be punished for what they have done!

WHY GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE WORLD’S LEADING TERRORIST! Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

(US Federal Bureau of Investigation) This is the official US FBI definition of terrorism. In its official definition, the FBI does not limit terrorism to stateless individuals or groups. In its official definition, the FBI does not suggest that the leader of a nation state cannot create terrorism. What is amazing here is the fact that the official FBI definition of terrorism describes exactly what George Bush did in the aftermath of the attacks of 9/11! 9/11 Applying This Definition

George W. Bush, in his unprovoked attack against the sovereign nation of Iraq, openly violated the UN Charter, to which the US is a signatory. The Charter's core principles contained in Article 2, 4 and Article 51 prohibit one nation from attacking another except in self-defense or with the authority of the U.N. In effect, George Bush launched an unlawful use of force against the persons and property of Iraq. The invasion launched by George W. Bush was accompanied by the most frightening and powerful use of force and military violence in recent history. His Shock and Awe bombardment of Baghdad was designed to intimidate and convince the government as well as the civilian population of that nation to change its existing leadership. This is a political objective not selfdefense. The purpose of the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq was to replace the existing dictatorship with an American-backed form of democracy that would not permit a government headed by the majority Shiite religious leadership. Here you can clearly see political and social motives. Where is the self-defense motive?


What part of the FBI’s definition of “terrorism” are the American people having a problem understanding?
Is there any doubt in your mind that the Bush administration committed acts of terrorism when it unlawfully used force and violence against the nation of Iraq to intimidate and force its government and the civilian population, to follow the Bush/PNAC political and social objectives?
Once again, why is not the corporate media asking these questions?
Wouldn’t the American people rather have the 100’s of billions of dollars spent on the war in Iraq used to improve their standard of living, especially for the poor Americans? By the FBI’s definition George W. Bush is guilty of terrorism! That would mean he should also be called a terrorist, not Mr. President. If Bush were truly a terrorist, then would it not be only fitting that Bush should also be treated as such. (RE: Being tortured, Flown to secret worldwide detention camps. Spending years at Guantanamo with no trial and absolutely no contact with the outside world. Having his head covered, standing naked in provocative sexual positions with other inmates and having this picture spread to millions through the internet…) Bush has allowed the above abuses to continue all the way up to the writing of this book. Shouldn’t Bush also follow his own policies?

• • •

The American press is in a powerful position to bring Bush to justice. Why are they staying quiet? What is Bush giving the press to earn their support whether he is right or wrong? The American corporate press agencies are working closely together to protect Bush. Wouldn’t their actions or lack of it be conclusive enough that corporate press is guilty of supporting terrorism?

Reality Would you consider that George Bushes war on terrorism has made the world a safer place to live in? Isn’t it a true fact that the Americans today are more hated by the world’s general populations than ever in over 200 years of US history as a nation? NBC reported at the beginning of September 2004, that there were approximately 2,929 terrorism related deaths around the world since the 9/11 attacks. 58 per cent of these deaths (1,709) occurred in 2004 alone. This clearly shows that terrorist attacks are on the increase not decrease. This further shows that Bushes war on terrorism is fueling terrorism around the world at an alarming rate, not decreasing it as he has so proudly claimed over and over again.  Bill O’reilly (Fox News) ignores these statistics and never brings them up on air. Why?  Sean Hannity (Fox News) has also never brings up any of these facts on his programs. Strange?  CNN’s Wolf Blitzer has a tightened lip and he to ignores these facts. ARE CNN and FOX news working together (In Stereo) to keep important news from America’s ears instead of informing them, as “real” journalist would normally do?

Civilian Casualties NBC News Sept. 2, 2004 (Robert Rivas and Robert Windrem) “The American corporate media refuse to address the totals. Doing so might result in an accusation of being unpatriotic or unAmerican. Doing so would challenge directives from the White House, such as those that keep the nation from seeing the draped coffins of our military dead. Doing so might even influence the outcome of this crucial election. How utterly shameful that is for this wonderful country and how tragic for the world.”

The war in Iraq is waging on with no end in sight. The number of civilian casualties in Iraq appears to be severely under estimated. Human Rights Watch has mentioned that many of the civilian deaths were the “direct result” of weapons that should never have been used in populated areas. Among these were nearly 2 million sub munitions, (Cluster Bombs) which

fail to explode immediately and kill people long after the initial conflict has ended. The Christian Science Monitor has said that, civilian losses in Iraq have been severe. They used the research results from a group of British and Americans who surveyed media reports for casualties as well as eyewitness accounts to conclude that between 8,789 and 10,638 Iraqi civilians have died since war began March 19, 2003. During September 2004, IraqBodyCount.net placed the Iraqi civilian death total at a minimum of 11,793 and a maximum of 13,802. On September 8th, 2004 the AP (Associate Press) reported that no official, reliable figures existed for the whole country, but private estimates ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 killed since the United States invaded in March 2003. 94 This makes George W. Bush the most successful terrorist in Modern history! (Don’t forget the estimated 3,485 civilian deaths in Afghanistan.)

NBC News Of the roughly 2,929 terrorism-related deaths around the world since the attacks on New York and Washington in September 2001, NBC News analysis has shown 58 percent of them “1,709” have occurred in 2004. The attacks took place in places as diverse as Russia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel.

(By Tom Engelhardt)

Many thousands all over the world have suffered, since 9/11, thanks to the Bush administration. On September 11th, thousands of people from many countries, in three buildings, (WTC) died. Three years later, in addition to the 1000-plus young Americans dead in Iraq; and another 132 in Afghanistan and many thousands of Afghan civilians dead in Americas initial bombings, the chaos as well as civil and guerrilla warfare that followed. Some guesses on Iraqi civilian deaths go as high as 30,000 or more, not counting the thousands of Iraqi soldiers, who died in America’s invasion of their country. 95

Meanwhile George Bush and Tony Blair are boasting to the world how safer it is since they’ve “crushed” Al-Qaeda and the Saddam regime. This makes you wonder where their sources of information come from?

Deaths are on the increase worldwide from acts of terror, slaughters on trains in Spain, in banks, hotels, temples in Turkey, mosques in Pakistan, buses in Israel, and even in the (once peaceful) streets and clubs of Indonesia. Desperate movements or efforts to stop the aggression of “mostly” the United States against the weaker people and countries across the globe is the #1 cause of these increased acts of terrorism worldwide. Before Bushes “war on terror” Indonesia for the most part was a peaceful country. Today the country has been plagued with a series of mysterious terrorist attacks. For example: The Bali bombings took the country by surprise. Western media quickly attributed the blame to JL (Jemiah Islamia) “supposed” sister organization of Al-Qaeda. Where does the western media get their information? Within hours of the bombings in Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia JL gets the blame. This will remain headline news for days and even weeks after the bombings. The western medias “quick to blame JL” approach is very suspicious. This is an echo of the past. (Remember September 11, 2001? Within hours of those attacks Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda received the blame by American corporate media.) There where some important observations and questions regarding the Bali bombings that western media was not asking or taking notice of.
How does a small person from a barely heard of village in Jawa get his hands on explosives that even the Indonesian special forces cannot acquire without extreme difficulty?
If you hate America and their cronies so bad; why would you blow up your own countrymen and cripple the Indonesian tourism industry in revenge against US worldwide aggression?
Why not attack Singapore that strongly supports the United States and Israel? The CIA and Mossad headquarters for all of Asia is located right there.
Further, there are soo many American companies in Singapore, so why bomb a Bali nightclub?


Why? Once again, why would Malaysian terrorists travel to Indonesia and terrorize this country because of their hatred towards west? Does this make any sense? The bombings in Indonesia appear more like a smear campaign by western intelligence and media agencies to give Indonesia the image of a terrorist country, while further attempting to inflate the anger of local Muslim groups by publishing lie upon lie against their Islamic organizations. Today there are many examples of people or groups (not approving of the Bush administrations foreign policies and are of Islamic background) whom are getting their faces smeared by American media “lies” labeling them as members of JL or Al-Qaeda. “The threat to world peace and security is not Al-Qaeda, JL or who ever else. In all reality George W. Bush is the “real” threat. He does as he pleases, goes where he pleases, takes what he pleases and kills whom he pleases. All of this with the blessings of the American corporate media!”

Chapter 6 War on Terror Human Rights &Tortured Prisoners

Abu Ghraib February 2,006

News Update from Citizens for Legitimate Government 16 November 2005 http://www.legitgov.org/ http://www.legitgov.org/index.html#breaking_news

U.S. Has Detained 83,000 in War on (of) Terror

The United States has detained more than 83,000 foreigners in the four years of the war on terror, enough to nearly fill the NFL's largest stadium. Roughly 14,500 detainees remain in U.S. custody, primarily in Iraq.

Amnesty International Report 2005 “Governments are betraying their promise of a world order based on human rights and are pursuing a dangerous new agenda,” Speaking at the launch of the “Amnesty International Report 2005”, the organization's Secretary General Irene Khan said that governments had failed to show principled leadership and must be held responsible.

“Governments are betraying their promises on human rights. A new agenda is in the making with the language of freedom and justice being used to pursue policies of fear and insecurity. This includes cynical attempts to redefine and sanitize torture,”

• In Darfur, the Sudanese government created a human rights catastrophe while the international community watched and did too little too late. International press agencies showed little interest in immediately exposing the human rights violations. This resulted in continuing chaos with little or limited opposition from world leaders. End result: (THE WORLD DID NOT REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!)

• Individuals responsible for serious human rights violations in Haiti were allowed to regain positions of power.

• The eastern Democratic Republic of Congo there was no effective response to the systematic rape of tens of thousands of women, children and even babies by the world’s communities.

• Despite elections, Afghanistan slipped into a downward spiral of lawlessness and instability.

• Governments have betrayed human rights at terrible costs to the ordinary people. Russian soldiers reportedly tortured, raped and sexually abused Chechen women, while the world did nothing.

• Zimbabwe’s government manipulated food shortages for political reasons.

The betrayal of human rights by governments was accompanied by increasingly horrific acts of terrorism as armed groups around the world increased in crimes of brutality. 96 The US government repeatedly uses words of justice and freedom, yet there is a huge gap between “words said” and reality. There has been a tragic failure by international communities and the corporate press in conducting 96

full and independent investigations into the appalling torture and ill treatment of prisoners by US soldiers in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. Not one single senior US official has ever been held “accountable” for these crimes against humanity. The United States is an unrivalled, political, economic and military superpower. It is the United States that sets the example for countries around the world to follow. Re: (like father like son) The most powerful country in the world does not follow the rule on human rights, they support unlawful detentions, torturing prisoners and crimes against humanity. The resulting effect of their actions is like giving a license to the rest of the world to do the same with little or no opposition. Don’t forget that the American corporate media supports America’s foreign policies whether right or wrong.

The World Has Lost Its Humanity

Abu Ghraib February 2,006

(The Independent on Sunday 20, November 2,005) British-Trained Police In Iraq Killed Prisoners With Drills

British-trained police operating in Basra have tortured at least two civilians to death with electric drills. Militia-dominated police, who were recruited by Britain, are believed to have tortured at least two men to death in the police station. Their bodies were later found with drill holes to their arms, legs and skulls. (Herald Sun)

US Troops Burn Bodies’ (21oct05) The US military and Afghan have Government launched investigations into claims US soldiers burned the bodies of two suspected Taliban militants. A broadcast on SBS TV, showed footage of bodies being burnt and carried by US soldiers. Burning dead bodies is deeply offensive to Muslims and is against the Geneva Convention. Major General Jason Kamiya (Commander American Force In Afghanistan) “This command does not condone mistreatment of enemy combatants or desecration of their religious and cultural beliefs.” The suspected militants had died in an ambush by a US patrol. The US troops later used the incident to broadcast inflammatory messages.

     

“Attention Taliban, you are all cowardly dogs” “You allowed your fighters to be laid down facing west and burned.” “You are too scared to retrieve their bodies.” “This just proves you are the lady boys we always believed you to be.” “You attack and run away like women.” “You call yourself Talibs but you are a disgrace to the Muslim religion and you bring shame upon your family.”

The photojournalist who took the footage, Stephen Dupont, told SBS the American troops apparently wanted to anger the Taliban into attacking them. The burning of bodies is considered a desecration under the Islamic faith. They should be washed, prayed over, wrapped in white cloth and buried within 24 hours of their death, not burned.

(The Independent) Burning of Taliban Bodies “Not A Crime”

By Daniel Cooney in Kandahar Published: 27 November 2005

Television footage, shown first in Australia of American soldiers using the cremation to taunt other Islamic militants caused Muslim outrage across Afghanistan. Islam bans cremation and the footage of approximately five soldiers in military fatigues standing near the bonfire in which the bodies were burning drew comparisons in Afghanistan with the photographs of US troops abusing Iraqi prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib jail. Major-General Jason Kamiya, commander of the US-led coalition, said the two officers who ordered the burning would be officially reprimanded but he insisted they were unaware of doing wrong. He also said they would be reprimanded for using loudspeakers to taunt Taliban rebels whom they believed were lingering in a nearby village. The officers did nothing wrong dragging the dead bodies to a nearby village and burning them in front of the people. They only will be punished for obscenities they said to the village through loud speakers. Who can stomach this crap? A story of this caliber would normally create a feeding frenzy with international journalists. The media in this case shows little concern in human rights or reporting the truth. Only a handful of media agencies around the world did there best to report these atrocities!

(Citizens For Legitimate Government) No US Charges Over Afghan Bodies (26 Nov 2005) US troops who burned the corpses of two suspected Taliban fighters killed in a gun battle in Afghanistan committed no crime, military investigators say.

(Citizens For Legitimate Government)

(27, November 2,005)

The U.S. military admitted on Saturday that its soldiers in Afghanistan had burned the bodies of two dead Taliban resistance fighters and taunted “insurgents” about it. The US admitted to these crimes against humanity. Then why have they said there was no crime committed? Why did the international community and corporate media (for the most part) stay quiet? Because these crimes were with the blessing of the government of the United States of America!

What Islam Says About Prisoners It goes without saying that Islam caters for the physical and the psychological fitness of prisoners. In Islam, prisoners, like all other members of society, have their rights. They should be treated with care and get the due educational and religious courses that help them improve psychologically, spiritually and be good citizens after they get out of the prison. While in prison, they are not to be tortured or the like.

By Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid A prominent Saudi Muslim Scholar And Lecturer: “Islam pays great attention to the matter of prisons and the circumstances of prisoners. It is rare to find anything similar to this in any place or time. The jurists discussed in their books the rulings pertaining to prisoners, their circumstances and how they should be treated. This concern stems from the Islamic concern for the protection of man and respect for his humanity.” Islam’s Rulings Pertaining To The Personal Health Of Prisoners

1. If sufficient health care is available for a sick person in prison and he is not suffering a serious illness that could kill him if he is detained, it is permissible to imprison him. If such care is not available, he may be handed over to someone who can treat him and guard him, without releasing him completely, until it is possible to imprison him again. 2. If a prisoner becomes sick while in jail and it is possible to treat him there, then he must be treated without bringing him out. Doctors and servants should not be prevented from going in to see him, treat him and serve him. If lack of treatment leads to his death, criminal charges are to be laid against those who were the cause of that, and they are to be punished. And no doubt medical treatment is what the sick person needs.

3. The place that is used, as a prison should be spacious, clean, well ventilated, lit by natural sunlight, and furnished with the necessary facilities such as washrooms, etc. Prohibitions In Disciplining Or Dealing With Prisoners Mutilating: It is not permitted in Islam to punish a prisoner by cutting off any part of his body or breaking any of his bones.

Hitting the face, et cetera. This is prohibited because of the humiliation involved. By the same token, it is not permitted to put chains on prisoners’ necks or to lay them on the ground to whip them, because this involves humiliation and harms their health and bodies. Starving prisoners or exposing them to cold, or feeding them harmful things, or preventing them from wearing clothes: If a prisoner dies because of such things, his jailer may be executed in retribution. Removing prisoners’ clothing: This is prohibited because it uncovers there and exposes them to physical and psychological illness. George Bush should learn from the Muslims whom he portrays as enemies of western ideology on how to treat prisoners of war.

Memo reveals Bush OK’d torture

By Tim Wheeler Several groups joined in an ACLU Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit and won release of a memo and other incriminating documents. This evidence is describing as the smoking gun implicating Bush in a torture scandal. ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero released the memo Dec. 20 in New York. That document, a December 2003 FBI internal e-mail, suggests that Bush issued a secret Executive Order authorizing the use of extreme coercive measures in interrogation, including sleep deprivation, stress positions, attack dogs and use of hoods to intimidate prisoners. The Geneva Convention Against Torture bans all of these practices.

“These documents raise grave questions about where the blame for widespread detainee abuse ultimately rests. Top government officials can no longer hide from public scrutiny by pointing the finger at a few low-ranking soldiers.” Said Romero:

In August 2002, Alberto Gonzales, (Attorney General nominee) did not consult military and State Department experts on the laws of torture and war, (according to the Washington Post) he approved a memo from the Justice Department claiming that unlawful enemy combatants could be detained indefinitely without criminal charges or the right of due process. The memo, the Post said, gave CIA interrogators the legal blessings they were looking for. Gonzales supported Bush’s right to order the torture of detainees, a position that violates U.S. treaty obligations under the Convention Against Torture and other international agreements. Wilson Woody Powell, executive director of St. Louis-based Veterans For Peace, another group in the lawsuit, told the World in a telephone interview that they are now examining the documents, which they recently received. Powell pointed out that the U.S. is a signatory to the Convention Against Torture as a matter of self-protection. I fully anticipate someone is going to capture some American soldiers and do unto them what we have done unto others. We have a deep concern for how our soldiers are going to be treated if they are captured given the record of torture at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and other detention centers, Powell said. Thousands of detainees have been held without trial because the administration lacks evidence to try them or even bring criminal charges.

United Press International Amnesty: Guantanamo “gulag must close By Hannah K. Strange UPI U.K. Correspondent Amnesty International called on the United States Wednesday to close Guantanamo Bay and either release or charge all detainees held there. The U.S. detention center was “the gulag of our times” and evoked images of Soviet repression, Amnesty International Secretary General Irene Khan said during the London launch of the human rights group's 2005 report.

Prisoners “Flown To Torture Nations” From correspondents in Washington (28 Dec. 2004) A US jet registered to a ghost company whisked terror suspects to countries that used torture, The Washington Post reported, based on its own investigation. A Gulf stream V turbojet had been seen at US military bases around the world, often loading up hooded and shackled suspects and delivering them to countries known to use torture, a process the CIA called “rendition”, the paper reported. The Post investigated the ownership of the jet, which had been spotted in Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan and which carried the tail number N379P. It said the officers of the plane's corporate owner, Premier Executive Transport Services, were all listed with dates of birth in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, but with social security numbers issued since 1998. The paper was unable to locate any further business or credit information on them or on the company. The CIA refused comment, but such “proprietary” or front corporations were standard procedure for the agency, former operatives told the Post. The Post article confirmed much of a November 14, 2004 article published in the Sunday Times, of London, which obtained flight plans for the plane, which, the Times said, always departed from Washington, DC and had visited the US Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where about 550 terror suspects are held. A Swedish television program, Cold Facts, reported that in December 2001, the jet took hooded terror suspects to Egypt, according to the Post, which said it had independently confirmed the Swedish report.

The Post said the plane, with hooded crewmembers speaking with US accents, loaded two Egyptian nationals and took off at 4.30am for Cairo.

Religious Abuse

(The Independent) Pentagon admits five acts of 'mishandling' the Koran

By Rupert Cornwell in Washington 27 May 2005 The Pentagon admitted last night it had substantiated five occasions when US military personnel at Guantanamo Bay prison “mishandled” the Holy Quran of Muslim detainees.

Jay W Hood, the one-star general who commands the detention center for suspected terrorists on Cuba, refused to give details of the cases of mishandling, saying the incidents, which occurred early in the camp's existence, were still under investigation. 97

Islam On Line

http://www.independent.co.uk/

FBI Memos Show Widespread Complaints of Qur’ân Abuse May 26, 2005 Declassified FBI documents show that several Muslim detainees at Guantanamo have complained that American guards repeatedly abused the Noble Qur’ân.

"About five months ago the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Qur’ân in the toilet,” one detainee said in July 2002, according to summaries of FBI interviews with detainees prison in 2002 and 2003, The Guardian reported on Thursday, May 26. “The guards dance around when the detainees are trying to pray. The guards still do these things.” The FBI documents were released on Wednesday, May 25, and obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) under the freedom of information act.

“Unfortunately, one thing we've learned over the last couple of years is that detainee statements about their treatment at Guantanamo and other detention centers sometimes have turned out to be more credible than US government statements,” (ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer told Reuters.) The documents echoed a recent Newsweek report on the desecration of the Noble Qur’ân and indicate that American military authorities were made aware of the charges as early as the summer of 2002, three months after the camp opened. In its May 9 edition, the mass-circulation Newsweek quoted “a knowledgeable US government source” as saying that “investigators probing abuses at Guantanamo found that US interrogators “had placed Qur’ans on toilets and in at least one case flushed a holy book down the toilet.” The report sparked angry and violent protests across the Muslim world from Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Gaza. After protests from the Pentagon, the weekly cast some doubts on the story in its May 23 edition, saying the source “couldn't be certain about reading of the alleged Qur’ân incident in the report we cited, and said it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts”.

Why would the news media give into protests from the Pentagon and partially retract their story?

Physical Abuse The declassified FBI interview summaries also contained a litany of detainees' complaints that they were beaten by guards, sexually molested by female interrogators, shown pornographic images and had their heads and beards shaved as punishment.

A detainee told an FBI agent in April 2003 he was forced to stand naked in front of a female interrogator. “While the guards held him, she removed her blouse, embraced the detainee from behind and put her hand on his genitals. The interrogator was on her menstrual period and she wiped blood from her body on his face and head.” One or two bad guards do not cause these kinds of abuses, it has been clearly approved by the base commander and possibly higher up. The general media coverage in the States seemed to be more interested in casting doubt on the existing reported stories than doing some investigating themselves.

One prisoner said he was kicked in the stomach, back and head by U.S. military personnel at an unknown location and suffered a broken shoulder. The US is holding more than 500 prisoners from its so-called war on terrorism at the naval base.

Many of them were detained in Afghanistan after US-led troops invaded the country and ousted the Taliban in late 2001. The FBI disclosures came on the same day that Amnesty International released its annual report branding Guantanamo “the gulag of our time” and labeling the US “a leading purveyor and practitioner” of torture and mistreatment of prisoners. 98

US Soldiers Danced Around Dead Iraqi Civilians (IslamOnline.net) HADITHA, Iraq, November 29, 2005

Grinning US soldiers were dancing around bodies of Iraqi civilians killed during a US-led onslaught on the western city of Haditha, residents said.

http://islamonline.net/English/News/2005-05/26/article02.shtml

“I saw US soldiers laughing and dancing around the bodies of civilians killed in cold blood” a resident identified as Goma Al-Hadithi told the London-based Al-Quds Press news agency. Occupation troops have killed in cold blood children, women and elderly in their house-to-house pre-dawn raids, he charged. Al-Hadithi recalled that a week ago American troops bombarded several houses, killing four entire families just to avenge a nearby attack on a Humvee that left one of their fellow soldiers dead. “They then lifted some 40 bodies from pools of blood and throw them in the yard of the Haditha hospital.” Hadithi, a former army officer, further charged that US troops once ordered five youths to lie prone on the ground before shooting them for no apparent reason. Have you ever seen this news on CNN, Fox News, ABC, CNBC, BBC or any other major western media? Of course not! Why? They are not real media agencies. They only report what is good for the image of their government’s interests and delete any truth from their reports that might tarnish that image. Is this journalism? Of course not! It is called thought manipulation. The people back home think that their soldiers over seas are representing the good qualities of the United States while fighting to protect them from further terrorist attacks. They have never been so wrong. The United States government, the CIA, George W. Bush and his companions in crime, are the most dangerous terrorists on this plane! Ask the world and they will agree. Only the American people are in the dark while living their lives of fantasy far, far away from reality.

US Troops Reportedly Gassing Fallujah

(IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) November 10, 2003

FALLUJAH - US troops are reportedly using chemical weapons and poisonous gas in its large-scale offensive on the Iraqi resistance bastion of Fallujah, a grim reminder of Saddam Hussein’s alleged gassing of the Kurds in 1988. “The US occupation troops are gassing resistance fighters and confronting them with internationally-banned chemical weapons,” resistance sources told Al-Quds Press Wednesday, November 10. The fatal weapons led to the deaths of tens of innocent civilians, whose bodies litter sidewalks and streets, they added. “They use chemical weapons out of despair and helplessness in the face of the steadfast and fierce resistance put up by Fallujah people, who drove US troops out of several districts, hoisting proudly Iraqi flags on them. Resistance has also managed to destroy and set fire to a large number of US tanks and vehicles.” “The US troops have sprayed chemical and nerve gases on resistance fighters, turning them hysteric in a heartbreaking scene,” an Iraqi doctor, who requested anonymity, told Al-Quds Press. “Some Fallujah residents have been further burnt beyond treatment by poisonous gases,” added resistance fighters, who took part in Golan battles, northwest of Fallujah. In August last year, the United States admitted dropping the internationallybanned incendiary weapon of napalm on Iraq, despite earlier denials by the Pentagon that the “horrible” weapon had not been used in the three-week invasion of Iraq. After the offensive on Iraq ended on April 9 last year, Iraqis began to complain about unexploded cluster bombs that still litter their cities.

Media Blackout, sources said that the media blackout, the banning of Al-Jazeera satellite channel and subjective embedded journalists played well into the hands of the US military.

Al-Jazeera has been reporting all the human right violations possible by the US since they first entered Afghanistan. The US government and media agencies have used a “smear campaign” in an attempt to destroy AlJazeera’s international credibility so that the world will not trust their news stories. Often US government sources have implicated them as being very close to and supportive of Al-Qaeda

Is Al Qaeda is A Bush Boogeyman (Robert Scheer) “Is it conceivable that Al Qaeda, as defined by President Bush as the center of a vast and well-organized international terrorist conspiracy, does not exist? To even raise the question amid all the officially inspired hysteria is heretical, especially in the context of the U.S. media's supine acceptance of administration claims relating to national security. Yet a brilliant new BBC film produced by one of Britain's leading documentary filmmakers systematically challenges this and many other accepted articles of faith in the so-called war on terror.” 99

• If Al-Qaeda really does not exist, then why create a fake terrorist organization?

• Why is the western corporate media television working so hard to make us believe that Al-Qaeda is their enemy while smearing the good name and reputation of more than 1.3 billion Muslims worldwide?

• Why is the Bush administration working over time to brainwash the American public that Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda will do anything to destroy the American people?

• What happened to the journalists in the United States that were willing to risk heir lives to report the truth? 99

Closing (Journalism & News Defined)

Journalism: 'j&r-n&l-"i-z&m -: writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation and without opinion.

Journalistic Principles The main purpose of journalism is to provide people with accurate and reliable information they require to function in today’s society.

Today’s journalists are role models; they identify a community's goals, heroes and villains while educating the people into having a better perspective as to what is really happening in our world. Presenting today’s news also involves other requirements, such as being entertaining, serving as a public watchdog and offering a voice to the voiceless. Over time journalists have developed nine core principles to meet the above tasks. They comprise what might be described as the theory of journalism:

Journalism's First Obligation Is The Truth Democracy depends on citizens having reliable, accurate facts put in a meaningful context. Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or philosophical sense, but it can and must pursue it in a practical sense. This “journalistic truth” is a process that begins with the professional

discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, valid for now, subject to further investigation. Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information. Even in a world of expanding voices, accuracy is the foundation upon which everything else is built. Such as: context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and debate. The truth, over time, emerges from this forum. As citizens of the world encounter an ever-greater flow of data, they have more need for identifiable sources dedicated to verifying that information and putting it in context.

Its First Loyalty Is To The People While news organizations answer to many audiences, including advertisers and shareholders, the journalists in those organizations must maintain allegiance to the people and the larger public interest above any other if they are to provide the news without fear or favor. This commitment to citizens first is the basis of a news organization's credibility; the implied covenant that tells the audience the coverage is not slanted for friends or advertisers. Commitment to the people also means journalism should present a representative picture of all constituent groups in a society. Ignoring certain citizens has the effect of disenfranchising them. The theory underlying the modern news industry has been the belief that credibility builds a broad and loyal audience and that economic success follows in turn. In that regard, the business people in a news organization also must support not exploit their allegiance to the audience ahead of other considerations.

Its Essence Is A Discipline Of Verification Journalists rely on a professional discipline for verifying information. When the concept of objectivity originally evolved, it did not imply that journalists are free of bias. It called, rather, for a consistent method of testing information, a transparent approach to evidence precisely so that personal and cultural biases would not undermine the accuracy of their work. The method is objective, not the journalist. Seeking out multiple witnesses, disclosing as much as possible about sources, or asking various sides for comment, all signal such standards. This discipline of verification is what separates journalism from other modes of communication, such as propaganda, fiction or

entertainment. But the need for professional method is not always fully recognized or refined. While journalism has developed various techniques for determining facts, for instance, it has done less to develop a system for testing the reliability of journalistic interpretation.

Its Practitioners Must Maintain An Independence From Those They Cover Independence is an underlying requirement of journalism, a cornerstone of its reliability. Independence of spirit and mind, rather than neutrality, is the principle journalists must keep in focus. While editorialists and commentators are not neutral, the source of their credibility is still their accuracy, intellectual fairness and ability to inform not their devotion to a certain group or outcome. In our independence, however, we must avoid any tendency to stray into arrogance, elitism, (Special treatment to those who are elite or in power.) isolation or nihilism. (Belief nothing has meaning or value.)

It Must Serve As An Independent Monitor Of Power. Journalism has an unusual capacity to serve as watchdog over those whose power and position most affect citizens. The Founders recognized this to be a protection against despotism (Total Rule over the people) when they ensured an independent press; courts have affirmed it; citizens rely on it. As journalists, we have an obligation to protect this watchdog freedom and not exploit it for commercial gain.

It Must Provide A Forum For Public Criticism And Compromise The news media are the common providers of public discussion and this responsibility forms a basis for our special privileges. This discussion serves society best when facts rather than prejudice, guessing or opinions inform it. It also should strive to fairly represent the varied viewpoints and interests in society and to place them in context rather than highlight only the conflicting fringes of debate.

It Must Strive To Make The Significant Interesting And Relevant Journalism is storytelling with a purpose. It should do more than gather an audience or catalogue the important. For its own survival, it must balance what readers know they want with what they cannot anticipate but need. In short, it must strive to make the significant interesting and relevant. Quality is measured both by how much a work engages its audience and enlightens it. This means journalists must continually ask what information has most value to citizens and in what form.

It Must Keep The News Comprehensive And Proportional Keeping news in proportion and not leaving important things out are also cornerstones of truthfulness. Journalism is a form of cartography: it creates a map for citizens to navigate in society. Inflating events for sensation, neglecting others, stereotyping or being disproportionately negative all make a less reliable map. The map also should include news of all our communities, not just those with attractive demographics. Newsrooms best achieve this with a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives.

Its Practitioners Must Be Allowed To Exercise Their Personal Conscience. Every journalist must have a personal sense of ethics and responsibility, a moral compass. Each of us must be willing, if fairness and accuracy require, to voice differences with our colleagues, whether in the newsroom or the executive suite. News organizations do well to nurture this independence by encouraging individuals to speak their minds. This stimulates the intellectual diversity necessary to understand and accurately cover an increasingly diverse society. It is this diversity of minds and voices, not just numbers that matters. 100

Final Comment You can see clearly from reading this book that western television news and media organizations have been violating the above principles and they don’t deserve to call themselves journalists. Real 100

journalistic organizations following journalistic principles today are an endangered species and extremely hard to find. Journalists whom can operate with relative freedom and not have there hands tied by their superiors are a rare breed and are also endanger of becoming extinct. My employers in the past used to regularly cut and disapprove my stories. They used excuses like “not in trend” or important and I should stay focused on what they wanted to report. They regularly puffed themselves up with pride and acted as if only they knew what journalism was. Fellow employees and I were discouraged from questioning their motives and encouraged to keep our mouths shut. Today I work independently and choose my own topics to inform the general public. I write books exposing the lies and deceptions of governments and corporate media alike. I’m not prejudice and I will go after any story that I feel is in the publics best interest and do my best to expose the truth even if it requires endangering my own life. One of my own very important principles is that the wants and the needs of the many, out weigh the wants and the needs of the few. In other words, millions are more important that only me. I cannot think of myself or be selfish. If I were to do so I would not be qualified to call myself a journalist. I pray that God has opened your eyes to the truth after reading this book. With him as my witness I testify that to the very best of my knowledge that all I have written is the pure truth. My intentions have been sincere and honest. I have done my best as a journalist to bring to you the truth without the lies, distortion and deceptions you so often find in western corporate media.
