Condition of former KGB spy worsens
By TARIQ PANJA, Associated Press Writer Mon Nov 20, 3:40 PM ET
LONDON - A former KGB agent turned Kremlin critic who was poisoned three weeks ago was moved into intensive care Monday after his condition deteriorated, and his doctor said the toxin has attacked his bone marrow.
Col. Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB and Federal Security Bureau agent, was under armed guard at a London hospital, as authorities investigated the poisoning that has all the hallmarks of a Cold War thriller.
Prominent Russian exiles claimed Litvinenko was poisoned at the behest of the Kremlin; Russian authorities denied any link to the attack. Police counterterrorism officials have taken charge of the inquiry.
Doctors said Litvinenko was seriously ill after being given the deadly poison thallium — a toxic metal found in some types of rat poison that can cause damage to the nervous system and organ failure. Such poison has been outlawed in Britain since the 1970s, making it highly unlikely any could have gotten into his food by accident.
Photographs released by the hospital showed a wan Litvinenko in a green hospital gown, his bald head propped up by pillows, his arm hooked to an IV drip. Thallium causes hair loss and interferes with the cardiovascular and nervous systems, attacking the vital organs.
Litvinenko's white cell count is down to nearly zero, said Dr. John Henry, a clinical toxicologist treating him. "It shows his bone marrow has been attacked and that he is susceptible to infection," Henry said.
Litvinenko, who has been a thorn in the Russian government's side since the late 1990s, fell ill after a meal with a contact who claimed to have details about the slaying of another Kremlin critic — Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian investigative journalist who was gunned down Oct. 7 in her Moscow apartment building.
Litvinenko blamed her killing on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Somebody has asked me directly, who is guilty of Anna's death? And I can directly answer you: it is Mr. Putin, president of the Russian Federation," he said at a meeting at a media club in London in October.
Other Russian dissidents in Britain also blamed the Kremlin for Litvinenko's condition.
"Permission to assassinate abroad can only be given from the top," Oleg Gordievsky, former deputy head of the KGB at the Soviet Embassy in London told The Associated Press. "How can it not be state-sponsored?"
"He was for five years attacking Putin and the head of the (secret services) week in, week out. He was deliberately irritating the whole of the Russian establishment, particularly Putin."
In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed suggestions that Russian intelligence services were involved as "nothing but sheer nonsense."
But exiled Russian dissident Boris Berezovsky was adamant that Putin, a former spy himself, was not only aware of the operation, but gave the orders.
"There's no doubt Putin gave the command to kill him," said the multimillionaire, who claimed that Litvinenko had also been targeted a year ago, when a grenade was thrown into his home.
Alexander Goldfarb, who helped Litvinenko seek asylum in Britain in 2000, said the poison might have been sprinkled into Litvinenko's drink during a meeting at a London hotel Nov. 1 before he went to meet the contact at a sushi restaurant.
Litvinenko briefly met two men from Moscow — one a former KGB officer he knew — for tea at the hotel, Goldfarb said.
"I called Alexander in hospital ... he told me it is true, on that day, before meeting the Italian, he met with two Russians," Goldfarb said, adding that Litvinenko had not previously met the second man.
Litvinenko told police about the two men, he said.
In Rome, Mario Scaramella, a security expert identified in media reports as the man Litvinenko saw at the restaurant, declined to comment about the meeting. But Paolo Guzzanti, an Italian senator and former head of parliamentary commission that examined cases of past KGB infiltration, said he has been in daily contact with Scaramella and confirmed he had met with the former spy Nov. 1.
After hearing of Litvinenko's poisoning, "Scaramella went to the British Embassy in Rome and made himself available, but nobody questioned him," Guzzanti said. The British Embassy in Rome declined comment.
Litvinenko joined the KGB counterintelligence forces in 1988, and rose to the rank of colonel in the FSB. He began specializing in terrorism and organized crime in 1991, and was transferred to the FSB's most secretive department on criminal organizations in 1997. Litvinenko quit Russia for Britain six years ago and has been an outspoken critic of the Kremlin ever since.
In 2003 he wrote a book, "The FSB Blows Up Russia," accusing his country's secret service agency of staging bombings in 1999 that killed more than 300 people in Russia and sparked the second war in Chechnya.

Hey Folks,
I think we've forgotten the bravest among us:
"Whistleblowers."
In this fascist takeover they are an endangered species, and if all we consume is the controlled-corporate media, they are extinct. I could swear they used to be here, and great Hollywood movies like "Serpico", "The Insider" and "Erin Brockovich" have been made about our most noble and courageous yet "normal" heroes. These are versions of people we can and would aspire to be if we were in their positions: IF we could see and hear their stories for ourselves on a regular basis, which is probably why we don’t.
"Whistleblowers."
I hope we continue to see and hear Congressman Jack Murtha, who’s being attacked as the most powerful anti-war force in the U.S. government. As a knowledgeable, well-respected and well-liked military and intelligence “insider”, he knows the game and knows when to call it quits. He’s being smeared right now with calculated and baseless attacks on what he "didn't" do, as illogical as that and the rest of their stupid fascist sales-pitches are. Jack seems to be the only voice saying what we're saying: "Iraq was a horrible mistake, it's over, we're doing more harm than good, we’re killing them and getting our kids maimed and killed for no good reasons, so let's get the hell out of there now". The military has been taken over by a fascist coup, and many good people on the “inside” are freaked-out by it.
"Whistleblowers."
Just see the innocent goat-herders at "G'itmo", who's 5 years of torture haven't helped the war effort one bit, proving they were and currently are innocent; and the subsequent “Military Commissions Act” which just passed, allowing the Bush Administration to “G’itmo” any of us whenever they want, and use the soldiers they trained in “torture” for “no reason” to “torture us” for “no reason”. Jack Murtha is not speaking on behalf of “us”, he's speaking on behalf of his Brothers in Arms, his trusted contacts across all branches of the military and intelligence communities who have helped him become the historically respected bi-partisan voice of reason that he’s always been.
"Whistleblowers."
Since the National Security Act (and "State") was created in 1947, "whistleblowers" have been an invaluable check on crazy people joining the military to serve the London and Wall Street financiers, the real people who've always called the shots on when to fight wars and still do. If it was "bad" for "business" or their goals of "fascism", they wouldn't let it happen and would just choke-off the money supply. Just ask decorated American War Hero Brigadier General Smedley Butler, who was recruited for and then stopped a Euro-Fascist coup in America in 1933 backed by the Anglo-American elite: the same people behind the current one, and the only real enemies of mankind. The McCormack-Dickstein Committee Congressional Investigation even confirmed it, but no charges were brought and it was dropped.
PROOF - http://www.archives.gov/legislative/guide/house/chapter-22-select-propaganda.html “Whistleblowers.”
General Smedley Butler is a real "war hero", he put in his time and did his job until he realized it was a fraud, as we all should. He should have a bunch of schools and streets and stadiums named for him instead of being erased from history, and maybe a bunch of us should’ve been named “Smedley”. His distinguished military service made him an unwitting "gangster for capitalism", as he followed orders to attack the Caribbean for big corporations to feast on. Later, General Butler became a full-time anti-war activist, and summarized that taking the "profit" out of "wars" could stop them forever. That was 60 years ago. Better late than never.
"Whistleblowers."
As the iconic G. Edward Griffin has famously noted, with the privately held Federal Reserve cabal of Big Banks able to print money from nothing, and to avoid releasing their full-list of owners and directors, avoid listing their practices, avoid ever being audited or seriously investigated or even "asked" anything, they can operate with morally bankrupt impunity. The reason they get away with this is they control the U.S. government by loaning them the money they print from nothing, sinking them further in debt and using our taxes to get rich without doing anything. With no "gold standard" and fractional reserve banking allowing them to loan out multiple times what they already triple-dip, they can buy anything, including “war”.
“Whistleblowers.”
There is no way they could wage “random wars for profit” without their bottomless phantom money-supply, because we would never stand for the “real” taxation it would need. If we had to support the cost of the $2 billion a day we're using to bomb the hell out of Iraq, we'd revolt, saying: "What the--? No sir, there's no way in hell I'm paying 65% in taxes to bomb the hell out of "Iraq", I don't even know where that is!" Wars for empire would end, and unless we were attacked we'd pretty much leave everyone alone. This is probably the best guarantee of National Security, along with a decent standing army and strong economic, political and cultural ties, which could even mean that the pressure to avoid disrupting "business" and the streams of "profit" to faceless "shareholders" could actually become a good thing.
“Whistleblowers.”
There are several IRS "whistleblowers" in the brilliant film "America: Freedom to Fascism" which explains this in a fun and inspiring manner what’s wrong and what to do about it, while also “the scariest movie of the year” (CBS News) with what they reveal. The elites plans being implemented right now include: National ID cards (Hello South Afrika: "Your paepers plees?"), RFID chips (Goodbye Privacy), and concentration camps (Hello "The Island"), among other plans. Former IRS investigator Joe Bannister was an honorable civil servant licensed to carry a badge and a gun, until he heard how paying income taxes was un-Constitutional (Good Luck Wesley Snipes) on a radio show he respected. He spent the next 2 years on the job heavily researching it using his connections and free time, and when he responsibly presented his findings to his bosses wanting to be proven wrong so he could just go back to work, he was fired. He's been on a crusade to tell people of the biggest lie ever and source of 90% of the World's problems: the privately held cabal known as the "Federal Reserve", despite not being "Federal" and having no "Reserves". Oh yeah, and don't even get me started on the "System" either...
“Whistleblowers.”
The elite have always been the only ones who benefit from “war” by sinking governments into debt to pay for them, and there are dozens of historical examples that reflect exactly what’s happening today. They can then control them, passing laws and justifying practices that legalize and hide their corruption and depravity while systematically weakening the potential rise of an enlightened or awakened public. All that "peace" talk has to evolve into the universal understanding that both the "Left" and "Right" face a common Euro-Fascist elite enemy, the big money behind The Bilderberg Group and others dedicated to a One World Government run out of Europe. The information is out there, and we need to see that we’re BOTH in serious trouble, just like both hemispheres of the planet are, which means ALL of us on the planet are facing the same threat.
“Whistleblowers.”
The Euro-Fascist elite and their Anglo-American cousins know how to control us with their Hegelian dialectic “problem + reaction = solution” tactics, creating crises and solving them in ways that increase their power and control while perpetualy screwing us, like the creating the United Nations, World Bank, IMF, and documents like the 22,000 page and 365 lb General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), which in promising “free trade” has effected thousands of corrupt hidden regulations and loopholes. The elite are unified in attacking both sides with graduates of "Skull and Bones" vs. “The Muslim Brotherhood”, or the “Bush’s” and “Bin Laden’s” and their support networks. And if you think that's silly, think about it: John "Thick Skull" Kerry vs. George "Poppa Boner" Bush for President in a country with 300 million people? You can see the “conspiracy theory” is possible, and if you look into it you’ll see it’s historically verifiable and entirely probable.
“Whistleblowers.”
The elite are in jack-booted lock-step, and having committed to selling us this racist and war-mongering "War on Terror Myth" as their latest ploy when people are getting pretty damn sick of it, they are moving fast to finish locking us down in police states and counting on our ignorance and infighting to keep us weak and stupid. Powerful people who know what’s going on are speaking up on behalf of the American people, and getting mocked for it by the fascist-parrots who dominate mainstream media. These aren’t “far-Left positions”, this is a sobering look at reality:
SEN. ROBERT BYRD (D), WEST VIRGINIA on the Floor of the Senate: “Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality. He never abandoned the cloak of legality. He recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made it - made this illegality legal.”

Former top judge says US risks edging near to dictatorship
• Sandra Day O'Connor warns of rightwing attacks
• Lawyers 'must speak up' to protect judiciary
Julian Borger in Washington
Monday March 13, 2006
The Guardian
“…Such [Republican] threats, Ms O'Connor said, "pose a direct threat to our constitutional freedom", and she told the lawyers in her audience: "I want you to tune your ears to these attacks ... You have an obligation to speak up.
"Statutes and constitutions do not protect judicial independence - people do," the retired Supreme Court Justice said.
She noted death threats against judges were on the rise and added that the situation was not helped by a senior senator's suggestion that there might be a connection between the violence against judges and the decisions they make.
The senator she was referring to was John Cornyn, a Bush loyalist from Texas, who made his remarks last April, soon after a judge was shot dead in an Atlanta courtroom and the family of a federal judge was murdered in Illinois.”
SOURCE - http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1729396,00.htmlThis is from Supreme Court Judge Sandra Day O'Connor, the swing-vote in the 5-4 Supreme Court decision that illegally and un-Constitutionally ordered the State of Florida to stop counting votes and give George W. Bush the Presidency in 2000. She’s a respectable grown-up like many others echoing similar warnings, and again these are not stereotypical far-Left teenage-punk radical or anarchist rantings. It doesn’t matter who’s saying it anyway as long as they’re correct, and regardless of who is saying it the point we must understand is simple: it is what it is, and even members of the “establishment” are reacting in horror at the plans of their peers and telling us plebes that it must be resisted.
“Whistleblowers.”
To “Start the Peace” and fight back, we need to understand that ALL wars are started using faked false-flag events, and the next time we see something blow-up we should look for our own criminals and resist the urge to start a war. You should grab a copies of "TerrorStorm: A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism" for cheap off Amazon.com, and don’t complain about being asked to “buy” something with hundreds of dollars in Christmas spending coming up.
"Whistleblowers."
The filmmakers are only making 50-cents a copy off the Amazon.com sales, and this is about survival: we have the opportunity to survive if we play “offense”, not “defense”, right now. Show as many people as possible all of the DECLASSIFIED examples of “government sponsored terrorism” thanks to the good people and “whistleblowers” on the “inside”. The elite are using "moles" in our intelligence agencies, many of whom ironically fund the “terrorist” groups that keep the rest of their intelligence agency peers busy. The game is nuts. “TerrorStorm” is chock-full of courageous and eminently respectable “whistleblowers”, and is an amazing self-defense tool against letting the ignorance and apathy of some of us trap all us in a police state: no one has a right to be selfish and stupid enough to screw the rest of us. It was at Number 8 on Amazon.com's Top 100 list of thousands of DVD's, and is currently floating in the 20’s, a remarkable achievement that shows the market for “truth” clearly exists. If it goes to Number One and stays there the elite will get scared, slow down, dump a few public cronies, and wait for us to relax and go back to sleep again. This will at least give us a breather that could lead to more investigative and analytical breakthroughs, and perhaps a negotiated détente with the elite.
“Whistleblowers.”
Our richest people are obviously enjoying the "War on Terror". That's why we're having one.
Our richest people are being very, very, very irresponsible with all of our lives. Please keep that in mind.
“Whistleblowers.”
One reason we've lost our moral compass is that "whistleblowers" are denied exposure on our totally emasculated major media outlets, giving us nothing but “official” liars telling us “official” lies. The people with indisputable evidence who truly reveal the extent of corruption in formerly celebrated ways are now silenced, arrested or discredited. This has a "chilling effect" on the rest, who watch in horror as Americans get upset at the pack of lies sold by a pack of liars, ignorant of and ignoring the real culprits who control the mediums that can expose them.
“Whistleblowers.”
I just saw a clip of the CIA/CNN’s specially ordered, creatively evil, and grotesquely biased attack on Jack Murtha, a 74-year old man who's entire lifetime of earning bipartisan respect could quickly be destroyed by the lies sold to a busy public, who will then endorse or act indifferent about his censure or disappearance from our collective consciousness. Again, we’ve got to save him or the “Democrat” control of the House will fall apart like a house of cards.
“Whistleblowers.”
Jack Murtha is a genuine American hero of good judgment and sanity in a military culture often infected with psychopaths, and the many "whistleblowers" or "good people trying to tell us we are being lied to" are afraid to come forward against a Fascist Administration. Jack Murtha is revealing the leaks out of loyalty to the honorable tradition of the military being perverted by Sadists in Suits: it's a "mistake" to "continue" a "mistake", and the dead bodies aren't standing up to justifications.
“Whistleblowers.”
Thanks to fulfilling the mandate of an "opposition" party, Mr. Jack Murtha is going from a lifetime of respect to being smeared with bribery-charges based A BRIBE HE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE. Compare that to the GOPigs who ate at the trough of Jack Abramoff (or "Jackoff's") and got-off scot-free. You can see a perfect example of a propaganda effort that we need our own "Committees of Correspondence" to help each other deconstruct, including destroying each others wasted faith in the integrity of the corporate media. In the absence of a small community printing presses and dangerous meetings in basements, might I suggest email: we still have free speech as long as we use it, and if they finally take it you'll be glad you did and have fond memories of it.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA IS A RELATIVE “SAINT” IN A TOWN KNOWN FOR POLITICIANS WITH MATTRESSES FULL OF DEAD-HOOKERS AND SOFT-MONEY.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA NEEDS OUR HELP AND COURAGEOUS "COMMITTEES OF CORRESPONDENCE" TO HELP HIM MAINTAIN HIS LIFELONG STELLAR REPUTATION. AS I SUGGEST WE DON'T HAVE THE MICRO-PRINTING PRESSES THAT THE FIRST AMERICAN REVOLUTION DID, BUT WE CAN COMPENSATE BY USING EMAIL.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA IS OUR BEST HOPE TO END THE WARS IN A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS RUN BY BENEDICT PELOSI, UNLESS SHE'S HOPEFULLY DETHRONED IN JANUARY. EITHER WAY HE’S STILL THE BEST GUY TO "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" BY SAVING THEM FROM WAR-FANTASIES OF PSYCHOTIC LIARS ON BOTH SIDES, AND FINALLY BRINGING THEM HOME.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA IS SHOWING HE REALLY CARES ABOUT "THE TROOPS" BY STICKING HIS NECK OUT AND RISKING HIS CAREER TO TRY TO SAVE THEM, AND IF ANY OF US CARE WE SHOULD HELP HIM.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA SURVIVING THIS LONG AFTER WHAT HE SAID IS AMAZING, PROBABLY BECAUSE HE'S BEEN QUIET IN A REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED HOUSE THAT ACTS FASCIST. SINCE THE DEMOCRATS NOW CONTROL THE HOUSE HE MAY HAVE SOME ROOM TO ACT IF HE’S PROTECTED AND EMPOWERED BY THE PUBLIC, AND WITH OUR SUPPORT HE CAN HELP END THE WAR IN IRAQ DESPITE THE CALCULATED PSYOP’S AND SLANDER.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA IS ALSO OUR BEST-CONNECTED POLITICAL ACE-IN-THE-HOLE AGAINST THE BLEAK FUTURE OF ENDLESS WARS AND MARTIAL LAW THE ELITE HAVE PLANNED. WITH RESPECT FROM MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE COMMANDERS ACROSS ALL BRANCHES OF NATIONAL SECURITY FORCES, HE CAN GET GOOD PEOPLE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING.
NOTE:
JACK MURTHA HAS THE GOOD PEOPLE INSIDE LEAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT “GOOD PEOPLE ANALYSIS” IN THE WORLD, AND THE 5 CORPORATIONS THAT CONTROL WHAT 80% OF US THINK ARE USING THEIR CONTROLLED MEDIA TO FOOL US INTO KEEPING THEIR WEAPONS-SALES DIVISIONS PAID OFF THE NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER. GROWING WAR-DEBTS COULD COLLAPSE AMERICA AND LEAD TO EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT: MARTIAL LAW. THAT'S WHY JACK MURTHA IS UNDER ATTACK, THAT’S WHY WE NEED HIM TO HELP US END THE WARS, AND THAT'S WHY THESE ARE BLOCK-CAPITAL LETTERS.
The list of those who REALLY deserve relentless media accusations for their growing dirty money and body-counts include the current insider-trading President and his war-profiteering Dad; the Vice-President; the Speaker of the House; damn near everyone in Washington, and especially everyone we see all the time who's Chairing a Committee or on television as part of their "job" to illegally hide corruption and immorally sell us lies.
As the 24-hour New World Order News Network, "CNN" doesn't talk about anything important in any detail that can help us do anything: that's why we don't know anything important and don't do anything.
I'll admit they have some nice graphics and cute anchors, including CIAnderson Cooper who cut his spy-game teeth at Yale according to Radar Online magazine. And yes, I have to admit I was touched by his heartfelt Hurricane Katrina Coverage, but I really think he should be played by Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio next time.
"CNN" plays 4 hours of vapid 4 minute "news-bits" for 24-hours straight, and their even more Ritall-inspired "CNN Headline News" plays 2 hours of 2 minute "news-bits" for 24-hours straight, with “headlines” of pure high-grade propaganda hitting the brain like lines of cocaine. This set-up is crazier than "A Clockwork Orange". This "propaganda" is delivered so mind-numbingly literally that a Hollywould Executive would laugh the screenwriter out of his office as a half-witted hack. How many fictional characters would we actually believe watch this poisonous feedback loop of lies unless heavily drugged or mentally retarded?
And then they interrupt with "Breaking News!" of... I forget.
I always forget.
But: it's always on again later, and if I just keep watching...
Anyway, what I do need to remember is the old-money and banking elite have bought-off agents at all the major "Power Centers" (G. Edward Griffin, "The Creature from Jekyll Island") of our society, including “CNN/CIA”, and have almost totally corrupted them. Their "secret government" is a series of powerful "moles" who take positions in and around the regular U.S. government, including at all of our more “trusted” institutions. They fail miserably and yet are still “trusted” thanks to their propaganda assault, and as we continue to believe in their morality we continue to degrade our own, and our critical thinking ability in general. You can see the “United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities” (1975) or “Church Committee” named after Senator Frank Church, they investigated “the secret government” role in CIA corruption and found a hell of a lot of it, and that’s why we haven’t seen any other serious investigations in over 30 years. The Bill Moyers PBS Special called “The Secret Government: A Constitution in Crisis” (1987) is online and lists their atrocities in the 20th Century, and the brilliant Webster G. Tarpley about the “secret government” plans for all of us the 21st Century, which in a nutshell can be summarized as “they’re up to no good”.
“Whistleblowers.”
The brilliant Webster G. Tarpley’s book "9/11: Synthetic Terror - Made in U.S.A." has "the best approach to truth" he’s ever seen according to Robert Steele, a former high-level U.S. intelligence agent who's reviewed over 700 books as Amazon.com's top non-fiction reviewer. Mr. Tarpley has studied state-sponsored terrorism since NATO was bombing Europe and other countries and blaming it on Communists in the 1970's, or they were killing hundreds and scaring millions of innocent people to keep the “Commies” out. It's amazing what you can sell agents of a stupid and evil operation when you sell them a stupid and evil fantasy, and we shouldn't let this happen anymore.
Tarpley shows the existence of the "secret government" was clearly verified on the morning of 9/11 itself when they clearly “spoke”, delivering their "Angel is next" death-threat to President Bush (meaning “Air Force One is next”) along a series of "secret codes" from across various branches of government. The "secret government" was ostensibly saying: "You need to launch the Samuel Huntington "War of Civilizations" in conventional form by selling the American people the "Okay, okay, guys-guys-guys check it out, see the CIA, Osama, and a laptop walk into a cave..." joke and using it to attack Afghanistan, where the American-backed Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda (Reagan called them "freedom fighters") has been fighting Russia for 10 years in the 1980’s. The fascinating "Bush-Putin phonecall” on 9/11 itself gave Bush permission and let the invasion happen, you can Google on your own. The "secret government" basically said if you don’t launch war in “conventional” form they would launch it in "nuclear" form, and have the inter-agency cooperation and high-level access to do so with the "secret codes" they sent as proof.
The reception of the threat itself was confirmed by Cheney indirectly, Rice on ABC News, William Safire in The NY Times and others to help explain the confusion and gain sympathy: it was later denied by the Administration and fellow Republicans. The Russian, French, Israeli and other intelligence services around the World reported on it, and noted that with the President apparently "security-stripped" and left in the classroom after a second plane hit, much like JFK's car was slowed in the "killing zone" in Dealey Plaza. The Bush Administration probably thought there was a coup, and there was and still is.
The President's Story
The President Talks In Detail About His Sept. 11 Experience
Sept. 10, 2003
60 Minutes II
“…They also feared that Air Force One itself was a target. Cheney told the president there was a credible threat against the plane. Using the code name for Air Force One, Mr. Bush told an aide, “Angel is next.” The threat was passed to presidential pilot Col. Mark Tillman.
“It was serious before that but now it is - no longer is it a time to get the president home,” says Tillman. “We actually have to consider everything we say. Everything we do could be intercepted, and we have to make sure that no one knows what our position is.”
Tillman asked for an armed guard at his cockpit door while Secret Service agents double-checked the identity of everyone on board. The crew reviewed the emergency evacuation plan. Then came a warning from air traffic control – a suspect airliner was dead ahead.”
SOURCE - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/11/60II/main521718.shtmlBush looking confused and worried in "the classroom" after hearing a second plane had hit and America was probably under attack is likely because he was confused and worried, though as "Commander-In-Chief" he could be impeached for not marshalling the troops and instead just sitting there scared out of his mind. Tarpley argues convincingly that Bush likely didn't "know", and a complex operation like 9/11 cutting across many government agencies would not be trusted to a salesman-slacker like Dubya, nor to Cheney and his 4 heart-attacks and 3 pacemakers... basically a guy who could drop dead in the middle of it. They may have known some things, but the actual operation was likely carried out at one of the private military-industrial complex firms integrated with the Pentagon to avoid any interruptions or surveillance in a government office. Some of these guys say they can even do "nuclear strategy", which means they are pretty "connected" to "nuclear weapons".
The "Angel is next" threat is also likely why Bush rabbited to various nuclear bases, saying "I'm the President and I'm right here, and I say disregard any strange orders to launch them", for which he should get some credit. There were full-scale thermo-nuclear "Global Guardian" drills taking place that day (since renamed "Global Storm" as part a dangerous escalation towards World War Three), and that’s just one of 15 drills on 9/11, the highest density in Pentagon history, resulting in a total of 29 planes reported "hijacked" on civilian and military screens. This was a BIG operation, but far from flawless, and if you didn't know about any of this stuff freely available in the public record it's because it's the corporate media's job to make you forget it.
The more corporations and their media lie to us the richer they get: that’s how they hide the fact that they are ripping us off. As Rush Limbaugh's $31 million a year can attest to: The Bigger and Fatter the Liar the Better. The people in the media I respect are as honest as they can be in a guarded climate, avoid aggressively spreading disinformation, and demand an accurate and analytical institutional memory for timely criticism as a check on power. In an age of disposable information, people like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will challenge Donald Rumsfeld’s “I never said I knew where they were…” attack on Ray McGovern’s question about WMD’s by SHOWING us the publicly available mainstream news footage from before the war when they were “selling” it, where Rummy said: “They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.” That’s not just “funny”, that’s responsible “journalism”, and they are among the only practitioners.
Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com collect the handful of truly “important” articles and videos that good journalists on the inside begged to work on, giving them some posterity when the rest of the corporate media wants to hide their damning evidence and quickly move on. Their articles are full of key items highlighted that link to related articles, allowing you to understand a more comprehensive narrative. There are good things happening all the time that need to be encouraged and recognized, and supporting corporate media outlets that suppress the truth discourages all of us from trying to speak it.
Why would any reasonable person participate in this madness?
The “moles” are paid well thanks to the elite's bottomless supply of fake money, they have "access" to the power, told they are doing a good job, and the idea of "secrecy" has a certain feeling of importance and "cache". They don't know the big “secret” is it's just B.S. meant to make hiding corruption and depravity easier, and that they are on the list of potential “clean-up jobs” if their functionality is deemed useless or threatening. Donald Rumsfeld admitted to Cynthia McKinney on CSPAN that "$2.7 trillion" is "missing" from the Pentagon. That’s a hell of a lot of money, and evil people are using it to buy a hell of a lot of control over the rest of us.

The "moles" are often unaware of the bigger picture and compartmentalized just like the rest of us, with our "gang-mentality" filters and blinders that keep us stressing, guessing and judging each other allowing the elite to easily sow unfounded seeds of mistrust. Just like the thousands who worked on "The Manhattan Project", most people will just "do their job" and keep it a secret, and in a World where 5 corporations collude to control what 80% of us think, it's now easier than ever to keep secrets and demonize anyone exposing them.
If anyone thinks they're guaranteed of surviving our descent into tyranny working on the inside they are arrogant, ignorant or insane. The elite don't respect the fascist foot-soldiers who buy or sell their lies: they are suicidally facilitating heir own enslavement, so how can they be respected? Unless you're a high-ranking member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group and corresponding "secret society", you're not “protected” in any way, and are a liability as a potential "whistleblower" subject to Hitlerian "Night of the Long Knives" purges and the rest of God-knows-what the rest of us are facing.
The 50 top government bioweapons scientists killed in the last 2 years clearly show you that while the pay's nice, the job security sucks, so you should cash out now. Count yourself lucky you were part of the windfall, and help keep them from destroying the World with their: "It's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven" bad-attitude. These guys are Communists who want a static economy and snitch-culture, and when I was in Cuba I saw what that does to otherwise happy people: it makes them constantly suspicious of the people they work with, constantly afraid to lose the decent "government" and other jobs that feed their family, and constantly looking to avoid being snitched-on if they're a good person, or to snitch-on someone if they're a bad one, or just ambitious with an aggressive streak. I loved everything else about Cuba while understanding some of their problems, and in our increasingly selfish and angry North American culture putting us in that situation may lead to us killing each other, saving the elite the trouble.
The deaths of the bioweapons scientists is the elimination of potential “whistleblowers”, and it means the elite want to use bioweapons, which they'll do if not enough people wake up and pay attention. Or if people wake up and do nothing, showing their fear and inability to wake up or inspire others to understand and resist what we're up against. The establishment's domestic police state forces are being brainwashed and dehumanized to enforce martial law against ordinary people, and in many places already feel more like an "occupying army" that inspires "fear" than "Officer Friendly!"
It's already all "legal", they're just taking their time to avoid waking us up: their biggest fear.
FEMA Executive Orders
http://www.trunkerton.fsnet.co.uk/
Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution. Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. No, it is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency, they are subject to Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations.
(Extensively continued…)
SOURCE - http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/fema_executive_orders.htmThe elite have spread crappy "divide and conquor" logic to distract us and trap us in our own fears by establishing the norms and values of society using their corrupted institutions, which includes completely ignoring the elite's role (e.g. “The Tavistock Institute” or “MK Ultra”) in our self-destructive social engineering. This keeps us from seeing why things are getting worse, and why we can't seem to figure out how to stop it: we're not looking "Up!", and we're not looking for "Who benefits?" Instead of chasing corrupt establishment credibility in our tepid analysis and fighting over stupid stuff, we need to see the elite are our only enemy and destroy the false paradigms we've been trapped in. That'll help us get better at everything by the way, cutting down on our needless fears while increasing our knowledge, power and control over our minds and environments.
The good news is: we got lucky.
Fortunately for us, the elite picked these reckless chicken-hawk idiots to manage our descent into tyranny, and a President with a history of running businesses into the ground. I bet the elite "don't get out much", and aren't the best at HR. If it works then it works, but it's pretty damn messy, and the dams of information and truth are finally breaking as people are “waking up” in droves. Since no one with power really respects them, the neo-cons can be "dumped" for dozens of crimes before a grateful public, who simply need to remember that the Democrats didn't oppose any of it and aren’t promising to now. Most of the Democrats are controlled too, and we need the good ones to keep the bad ones from selling us the same fascist product with new marketing slogans, or Rupert Murdoch from running his new “Hilary Clinton Rocks!” campaign.
I think our best option right now is to cut our losses and simply cut the neo-con neo-fascist cancer out of the heart of government, especially since the neo-cons are truly apocalyptic madmen who'd rather start World War Three than go to jail.
Or to quote District Attorney Adam Schiff from the TV show Law & Order: "Make the deal."
A recent poll by the NY Times and CBS News showed that 84% of Americans think the U.S. government is lying about 9/11. As long as we know that we can trust each other instead of the bastards in the media and government who even WOULD lie about 9/11, as sick as that is on it’s own regardless more significant or detailed charges. This is an indicator of what else they might lie about and cover up, and our addiction to the corporate media’s dangerous nonsense has to end. As long as both the "Left" and "Right" wake up and stay awake after we'll be fine, we'll realize that we agree on 90% of stuff anyway, and the stupid paradigm of three word "txt msging" arguments we're trapped in like a videogame will end. Conversations will be much calmer and more constructive as we start to break our "pitbulls trained to fight" socializing over the last 5 years, and get down to fixing “real” problems that have only gotten worse in the Fog of the “War on Terror”.
The problem is that with tensions high over the possible nuking if Iran starting World War Three, and before this insanity happens we should all yell out at the top of our lungs the unimpeachable fact that:
Iran Is Judged 10 Years From Nuclear Bomb
U.S. Intelligence Review Contrasts With Administration Statements
By Dafna Linzer
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 2, 2005; Page A01
A major U.S. intelligence review has projected that Iran is about a decade away from manufacturing the key ingredient for a nuclear weapon, roughly doubling the previous estimate of five years, according to government sources with firsthand knowledge of the new analysis.
SOURCE - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/01/AR2005080101453.htmlThis hidden gem of an article shows that they’ve been trying to “nuke Iran” for over a year now, and are just looking for ways to convince us it’s necessary, including staging another “false flag” event and blaming it on them. If we’re dumb enough to let World War Three happen, anyone with a "nuclear football" or other weapons can attack anyone else for any reason, including the thousands of corrupt and heartless profiteers a system like this creates. With all the nonsense and fear coming from the Bush Regime, the wise words of the last truly “great” American President, John F. Kennedy, still ring true today:
John F. Kennedy
American University Commencement Address, June 10, 1963
“…above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy -- or of a collective death-wish for the world.”
SOURCE - http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkamericanuniversityaddress.html
Since they’re scaring us with lies all the time, it helps to break down some of the whoppers that have gotten us in trouble in the past, and there have been hundreds. The "domino theory" of Communism spreading quickly throughout the World was faked: governments don't change that fast, and any meager efforts on the part of the “Leaders of the Free World” to trade with them and improve their living standards could've stopped any Communism in it's tracks faster and cheaper than a multi-trillion dollar military, especially with non-aggression pacts and a multi-million dollar military as a back-up. The "yellow fear" of a Chinese invasion was faked too, and this is what they do with specifically chosen and warped elements of a story: "yes" there are a billion Chinese people, "yes" they are Communist, "yes" we are diplomatically fighting with them, “yes” they have a massive army… but they don’t say "no" they are nowhere near us, and we'd notice if they were coming and react with as much force as necessary, including the use of nuclear weapons that could stop them well before they reached Venice Beach.
These are a million examples of illogical lies we can use to indict our corporate media sources and find out what's really happening in order to make the best deals with the power-brokers that we can. This includes stopping the "North American Union (NAU)", something I've heard Lou Dobbs rail against on CNN which would destroy our borders and change our Constitutions.

Instead of just yelling at the poor Mexicans who are suffering the most from their maligned “illegal immigrant” status, we need to understand that the only reason they would want to leave the sunny and beautiful country they live in is because it is one of the worst police state-oligarchies in the World heavily supported by the U.S. government. This includes the Bush Administration helping their Right-wing Presidental candidate "steal" the last election from the “people” in full-view of the entire World. The fascists and global elite are using the flow of millions of illegal aliens to help drive down wages domestically, destroy living standards, keep us fighting with each other, and increase their military and corporate-slave-labor prison populations. No one is happy with this arrangement, and it's not easy for them to risk death, persecution, jail, slavery, the draft and everything else they face coming here: so once again, it's gotta REALLY SUCK at home. We have to stop saying stupid stuff about them, and own up to the fact that once again our “Leaders of the Free World” are responsible for our loss of freedom and security.
The surface level arguments disappear if you take a "normal" constructive, humanitarian and mutually-beneficial approach to the problem: support a "real" Democracy there. Or better yet, support a version of what America is supposed to be: A Constitutional Republic where your "Rights" are "Guaranteed", and no matter how polarized things get, if the Constitution is followed then 99% of people can't take away the "Rights" of 1%. Remember: the are YOUR RIGHTS, they are inalienable, and this "51% mandate to take all your Rights" madness of the Bush Regime must be exposed for the fraud it is.
We need to understand that the "conspiracies" really exist, and that the word “conspiracy” just means "two or more people discussing doing something illegal or immoral". This happens a millions times a second, but some people have gotten really good at it, and once again according to the great Jack Kennedy:
The President and the Press by John F. Kennedy (April 27, 1961)
“It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.”
DOWNLOAD SPEECH (20 mins) - http://millercenter.virginia.edu/scripps/diglibrary/prezspeeches/kennedy/jfk_1961_0427.htmlWe have to understand the "vast conspiracy" that President Jack Kennedy and hundreds of other prominent historical figures have referred to has been exposed. The people we need to negotiate with are the Rockefeller's, Morgan's, Rothchilds, Bilderberg Group, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Skull and Bones, Muslim Brotherhood and other related groups. We need them to call off their human assets Worldwide, or for those assets to resist, and we can help since most of them don't know they'll be tracked, chipped, drugged and searched too. They will also by culled from the herd if they're too weak (e.g. "he still has morals left") or too strong (e.g. "he expresses himself freely and proudly and happily, we'd better kill him"), or if the elite are in a foul mood.
A series of "general strikes" oughta do it, and we just have to do what half of Spain did when they flipped-out and took to the streets in 2005 over their fake 9/11, or "3/11", forcing their government to admit they staged the attack that killed nearly 200 people, and getting their troops out of the slaughterhouse that is Iraq. Fortunately for our own understanding and promotion of "truth", even in this climate of "fear" there have been hundreds of "whistleblowers" who've come forward with the credibility to convince even the most skeptical and partisan that something is seriously wrong. They are exceptionally effective in convincing us of government and corporate corruption, and that’s why they have been hidden or discredited and replaced by "experts" generically named "CNN Terror Analyst", who with no explanation of their background will probably tell us they need to stick a finger up our bums to check for "lipstick bombs" soon. Wag your finger back at ‘em, and tell them to stick theirs and their bloody wallets up their asses.
We're being lied to.
Again.
Just like Vietnam.
Just like we've said.
Just like we need to remember.
Just like we should shut up about random "beheadings" and speak-up about daily "carpet-bombings" with thousands of “Nagasaki’s” worth of depleted uranium, arguable the greatest war-crime in history occurring as we fret about losing 5 lbs and not having enough time to watch old TV on DVD.

We should leave them alone and they'll leave us alone, and we should keep the crazy people who joined the military to work for the even crazier people who run a Word where 3 billion people live on less than $2/day on a short lease. Thanks to "whistleblowers" again we already have tons of proof of Pentagon "lies" and "PSYOP's" aimed at the American people, with famous cases including Daniel Ellsberg with "The Pentagon Papers"; the leaked plans General L.L. Lemintzer sent up to President John F. Kennedy for approval to kill American citizens and blame it on Cuba in "The Northwoods Documents"; and the NSA declassifying the fact "The Gulf of Tonkin" incident was faked the intelligence was "fixed" to escalate the War in Vietnam, and and the lie "sold" to the public knowingly President Johnson.

Military Plays Up Role of Zarqawi
Jordanian Painted As Foreign Threat To Iraq's Stability
By Thomas E. Ricks
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, April 10, 2006; Page A01
"The documents explicitly list the "U.S. Home Audience" as one of the targets of a broader propaganda campaign."
"In a transcript of the meeting, Harvey said, "Our own focus on Zarqawi has enlarged his caricature, if you will -- made him more important than he really is, in some ways."
"The Zarqawi campaign is discussed in several of the internal military documents. "Villainize Zarqawi/leverage xenophobia response," one U.S. military briefing from 2004 stated. It listed three methods: "Media operations," "Special Ops (626)" (a reference to Task Force 626, an elite U.S. military unit assigned primarily to hunt in Iraq for senior officials in Hussein's government) and "PSYOP," the U.S. military term for propaganda work.
One internal briefing, produced by the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq, said that Kimmitt had concluded that, "The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date."
UNDERSTANDING THE MEDIA IS VERY, VERY, VERY SIMPLE.
INFOWARS.COM AND PRISONPLANET.COM SHOW YOU THIS:
A MAINSTREAM SOURCE WILL SAY SOMETHING TRULY IMPORTANT JUST ONCE, AND NO ONE ELSE WILL PICK UP ON IT, ESPECIALLY NOT TELEVISION. ALL THE HARD WORK OF THE RARE REPORTER WHO BEGS TO INVESTIGATE SOMETHING TRULY IMPORTANT IS ISOLATED, AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARS FROM THE PUBLIC'S COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS SAVE FOR A HANDFUL OF SITES THAT COLLECT AND RE-PUBLISH THEM IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
"PROPAGANDA" IS WIDELY REPEATED ACROSS A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS, AND YOU CAN TELL WHAT IT IS BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS IT AND REPEATS IT THEMSELVES, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO BARELY WATCH THE "NEWS".
EVEN IF IT'S REAL AND NOT FAKED AS PART OF THE PSYOP:
"BEHEADINGS" IS PART "PROPAGANDA", THAT'S WHY EVEN THOUGH IT HARDLY HAPPENS EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THE FAR BIGGER ISSUE OF DAILY WAR CRIMES COMMITTED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND HIDDEN BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT’S CORPORATELY CONTROLLED MEDIA.
BTW, THESE PEOPLE DON'T HATE US, THEY LOVE US. THIS IS THANKS TO OUR NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT ASKING THEM TO LOVE US BY SELLING THEM ON HOW COOL WE ARE.
THEY DON'T HATE OUR FREEDOMS, THEY LOVE OUR FREEDOMS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO COME HERE AND ATTACK US, THEY WANT TO STOP BEING ATTACKED.
THEY ARE THE LEAST OF OUR CONCERNS, AND MOST JUST WANT TO GO HOME, REBUILD THEIR LIVES, AND RUN THEIR FRIGGIN' FRUIT STANDS.
THESE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO ATTACK US ANY MORE THAN VIETNAM DID, OR ANY OTHER CULTURE WE'VE COMPLETELY DESTROYED, AND KNOW TO SEPARATE THE AMERICAN “PEOPLE” FROM THE AMERICAN “GOVERNMENT”. OR AT LEAST THEY USED TO, THOUGH IF THE “PEOPLE” LET THEIR “GOVERNMENT” START WORLD WAR THREE, THEY’LL PROBABLY GET SOME OF THE BLAME.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT 99% OF TERRORISM IS STATE SPONSORED TO INDUCE FEAR AND CONTROL THE PEOPLE. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THIS, THAT’S WHY THESE ARE BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS.
BTW, IT'S A REAL ARTICLE, AND A REAL "PSYOP" - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2006/04/09/AR2006040900890.htmlThe faked “Gulf of Tonkin” incident that resulted in thousands more American soldiers dying needlessly, and millions more Vietnamese and Cambodians being killed, maimed or enslaved by Communist dictatorships, was declassified by the NSA in 2005. This is remarkable in an era that sees the fascist Bush Regime clamping down on the independence and ethics of various government agencies, classifying "125 documents per minute" (NY Times), and attacking "whistleblowers" as "criminals" with the same rigorous procedural standards they use to classify anyone they catch as an "enemy combatant".
Secrets & lies in the wonderful land of Washington
Adrian Muniz
The Brown Daily Herald
Issue date: 7/18/05
Section: Columns
“…According to the New York Times, today the Bush administration is classifying documents at rate of 125 per minute in an effort to keep them from the public. If you add that to the fact that they are also keeping mum on Rove's fate in the face of his growing involvement in this scandal, then what you have is a recipe for what Thomas Jefferson once termed in the Declaration of Independence "a long train of abuses and usurpations." Luckily for us, Jefferson also told us what to do in those kinds of situations, saying that, for the U.S. public, "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

This includes the NSA’s latest contribution, as well as others made by powerless and yet empowered “people”, giving them priceless protection as their profiles in courage are painted in the minds of millions. This is a big reason for all the “activism” in an age when it’s never celebrated by our controlled-corporate media, a shining example of the inspirational triumph of the human spirit largely hidden in a vacuous commercial wasteland. That's right folks, the NSA and Alex Jones, together at last like chocolate and peanut butter. Rejoice.
(As Jon Stewart might say: “See? The NSA spying is not all bad. Can I go now? I'm taking sign language lessons.")
"Whistleblowers" used to be respected and courageous.
Not "biased" and “untrustworthy, a ridiculous charge against people putting everything they have on the line to stand up for the truth.
With all the hidden government and corporate corruption we all instinctively know is happening, including Invisible Vice-President Cheney's Halliburton regularly scoring illegal no-bid contracts, you'd think there would be more:
"Whistleblowers."
There are.
We just have to find them, thank them, and support them, and that includes supporting the work of Mr. Jack Murtha and Mr. Alex Jones.
Good night, and good luck.
Peace, (NOW!!!)
