&lt;br/&gt;Is Big Brother preparing for your death? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I dont understand why coffins are necessary when cremation and acid liquification and instant zapping "dehydration" are so much more efficient? &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt; 22 July
&lt;br/&gt;• During the last few days we have been hit by a heavy Denial of Service attack. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack ]
&lt;br/&gt;We apologize to everyone who saw the rather alarming error message from our host. Interestingly, we've since learned that there were similar attacks on Jeff Rense [ http://rense.com/ ] , Alex Jones' Infowars [ http://www.infowars.com/ ] website, and Dan Burisch's Eagles Disobey [ http://www.eaglesdisobey.net/ ]. Everything should now be working normally.

&lt;br/&gt;I've been in Guerneville &amp;amp; Monte Rio when this is happening &amp;amp; seen "Men In Black" &amp;amp; "Black Helicopters" being used for security &amp;amp; surveillance. I know people who have themselves or they know others that have worked as bartenders, performers, and different types of help. Mums the word. All they will say if they will even talk about it at all is that yes they worked there. They cannot say anything else &amp;amp; don't. Whatever fears they have work pretty effectively in keeping their silence. &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;The following is a summary that will be hopefully brief , succinct . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A kind of outline, if you will, of the sort of social outllook that is an alternative to the contemporary social /political ideologies that whether "liberal" ---in the fake contemporary sense or conservative ....or libertarian party or moderate . So much of the doctrines that come from both so-called liberals , conservatives, moderates , and libertarians ---is incongruous (riddled with weird internal contradictions ...some direct others indirect contradictions) and/or superfluous . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(The superflous adds nothing of intrinsic good to a civilization) . So to get to the main topic of what this present essay is all about---let me just briiefly describe the positions that are the elements of a sound , reasonable, wholesome outllook on life and ideological matters . 
&lt;br/&gt;Here below are many of the positions of the reasonable approach to societal matters and politics . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The reasonable outlook is : 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Totally *against* abortion on demand (with exceptions if the child in question could be likely to be horribly deformed to the point of suffering if carried to term , ect ) . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abortion does not liberate women and unborn women also should have rights . Abortion on demand is totally incongruous with the ethos of compassion and nurturance that liberals are supposed to support . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Favors generous social programs for the poor, and is on the side of the poor , downtrodden .Pro-union . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Opposes subsidies for wealthy coprorations. If a corporation cannot run its business without goverment sponsored corporate welfare handouts and bailouts , than the CEOS and company president ought to go back to business school and start over . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Supports clean , renewable and laternative energy . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Fervently and extremely in favor of preserving wilderness in all its beauty. Fervently and extremely in favor of clean water, soil, air ect. Beautiful landscapes (like forest, deserts, mountains, praries, oceansides) edify and uplifts a nation. Ugly , mundane Mc Mansions and yuppie subdivisions do *not* edify, they do *not* instill a sense of the civic commonweal in the minds of citizens ...they foster instead tedium of mind and vapidness .. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Supports wholesome family farmers, as well as organic farmers and their wholesome vegetables and products , instead of the hi tech junk food offered by souless companies like Monsanto, and other junk food companies . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Supports the abolition of income tax in favor of a national sales tax and/or other ways of raising revenue for the federal goverment . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is totally against racism, anti-semitism and/or any form of maligning or oppreession of ethnic groups . Pro-civil rights . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Supports equal rights for women / equal pay for equal work...is totally intolernat of wife beating . Is totally against the exploitation of women by the evil sexist and ghastly adult film industry, though does not favor censorship . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Is totally against liberated sex , totally against sexual promiscuity "being open about sexuality" . After all, such tendencies are contrary to true humanitarian, nurturing sentiment --such sexually liberated proclivities foster a crass , murky, acquisitive, shallow- minded approach to living . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Totally *against* lurid , sinister mass news media spectacle . Desires the mass television and television related news media to just go out of business ---though it does not advocate censorship . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Against NAFTA, GATT and all those evil globalistrade programs that erode the soverengty of nations . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ADDENTUM : Running through all the positions above is an acknowledgement that relativism/postmodernism/ ambivalent thinking is totally wrong without even any partial merit. Rejects the inchoate desire that there be any sort of balance ; rejects any middle ground between that which is inherently contrary to virtue and that which is intriniscally virtuous. It is based on the acknowledgement that intrinisc virtue should be taken to extremes --NOT tempered nor balanced with a little selling-out . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is based on the acknowledgement that intrinsic virtue when taken to extremes does NOT somehow become a vice. Rejects the weird non-consistant doctrine of "the golden middle" ! Acknowledges that taking virtue to extremes takes careful analysis ---and that requires strictly linear thinking . Acknowledges that it is a lazy mind that *refuses* to split hairs . Is totally *agaiinst* any equivocation in thought . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;An ointment without any flies is long overdue . The word 'purist' is NOT a dirty word !

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;HEALTH FREEDOM INFORMATION YOU NEED
&lt;br/&gt;PLEASE FORWARD AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;HEALTH FREEDOM MOUSE WARRIOR
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;WHEN WE MADE INFORMATION ABOUT WEAPONIZED AVIAN FLU AVAILABLE,
&lt;br/&gt;ASTONISHING THINGS HAPPENED.  READ ON
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;FIRST OF ALL, A CORRECTION
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A typo appeared in the earlier version of this critically important blast.  The corrected text should read that during the 1918 pandemic flu, "50 million people died world-wide, including 650,000 Americans", not "50 Million Americans died".  My apologies.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;NEXT, AN ATTACK
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In the past when we have published information that "Someone" does not want you to know, our site has been hacked or even knocked off the internet, usually by a Distributed Denial of Services, or DDOS attack.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While it is immensely frustrating to be shut down at the exact moment that we are getting important information out to you, we have come to recognize it as a signal that we have, once again, hit the bull's eye!  This time, not only were our sites, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org and
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.GlobalFreedomUSA.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;hit with a DDOS, but the super high security server which we switched to after the last DDOS attack was taken down.  The whole system was knocked off line.  I am flattered.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The last time we got hit with a DDOS was when we wondered aloud if the vast numbers of deaths caused by PROPERLY USED pharmaceuticals might, in fact, not be accidental.  We asked whether the approval of dangerous and deadly drugs might be intentional and BANG! we were off line faster than you could say "Population Control" (6 syllables) or even "Genocide" (only 3 syllables)!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THEN, SOME POSSIBLE CONFIRMATIONS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It would appear that we are right on target.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just prior to 9/11, there were some very interesting trends in the stock market which looked very much like somebody knew what was coming and positioned themselves to make a good deal of money when it did happen.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Possible Confirmation No. 1 is contained in the following email which a supporter sent us today:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Prior to receiving the intel from Rima and Bert regarding the purchase of vaccines for a pandemic virus that does not yet exist, I had separately been noting unusual, unexplainable activity in the the BIOTECH sector of the stock market.  While the general stock market has been crashing, the Biotech sector has rallied very sharply to new highs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Today the BBH Biotech Holders is up 7 percent (a very large move) on big volume to new highs while the general market declines.  There is no overt news on the sector or any particular company to account for this surge.  A dramatic rise began in late June/early July.  Interestingly, there is a negative divergence with the DRG, which is the Pharmaceutical sector, which is declining.  This means the market is specifically interested in BIOTECH STOCKS and not general medical - pharmaceutical issues. The chart of Merck looks worse than the DOW.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We may recall that unusual market activity was a tell tale sign prior to the 911 false flag [attack - REL].  I have been studying the Oil market as well and it has been telegraphing the attack on Iran in the same way. [Emphasis added - REL]"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If this pattern does, indeed, foreshadow a pandemic disaster event, the names of those who participated in this stock market frenzy for biotech stocks should be investigated closely for possible criminal activities.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Possible Confirmation No. 2 comes from the news today of hysteria management in the House of Lords.  Desperate cries of "Save us! Give us the miracle vaccine!" are what is inevitable, not a pandemic flu - unless it is released on the population -- or injected in a vaccine.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A member of the Natural Solutions Foundation Advisory Board notified us today about a story that appeared today, two days after we sent out the information about the weaponization of Avian flu and the scheduled delivery of 100 million "vaccine" doses by Sanofi-Pasteur from China to the US next month.  In a story whose headline reads:  "World warned over killer flu pandemic!", Ben Russell writes in the Independent (London), on July 21, 2008 that,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The world is failing to guard against the inevitable spread of a devastating flu pandemic which could kill 50 million people and wreak massive disruption around the globe, the Government has warned....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The Government's evidence appeared in a highly critical report from the Lords Intergovernmental Organisations Committee, which attacked the World Health Organisation (WHO) as "dysfunctional" and criticised the international response to the threat of an outbreak of disease which could sweep across the globe... The report called for a fundamental overhaul of the WHO's regional offices around the world. "Given the threats to global health that we face from newly emerging infectious diseases, a dysfunctional organisational structure within the world's principal policy-making, standard-setting and surveillance body simply cannot be afforded."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The Government said: "While there has not been a pandemic since 1968, another one is inevitable." Ministers said it would could kill between two and 50 million people worldwide and that such an outbreak would leave up to 75,000 people dead in Britain and cause "massive" disruption..."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The House of Lords appears to be preparing the population for inoculation as a positive measure: "While much progress has been made in the past 10 years in improving global surveillance and response systems, much remains to be done if we are to detect new strains of the virus and counter them before they have had the chance to spread....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A government briefing given to the committee warned: 'Not all countries have the resources or capacities to put in place a seasonal influenza vaccination policy and, in the event of an influenza pandemic, it is also recognised that current stock will not meet world-wide demand.[Italics added. This is seriously flawed logic: seasonal flu vaccines have precious little effect against seasonal flu and NONE against the supposedly not-yet-pandemic variety of the H5N1 virus.  It is impossible to make a vaccine for a virus which does not exist - REL]...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There needs to be an improvement to rapid response strategies in poorer, more vulnerable, countries. [Read: forced vaccination - REL]....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrats' health spokesman, likened the threat from a pandemic to the threat of international terrorism. [Emphasis added - REL] ... 'Globally there has been massive attention to the threat from terrorism and rightly so. But the potential for loss of life from a pandemic is massive, enormous and yet we stare a disaster in the face and we see a chaotic, uncoordinated and incoherent international response to it'."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://tinyurl.com/6bcagj 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Clearly, international pressure for a miracle "fix" -- a vaccine, is mounting.  How very convenient!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The information in this Health Freedom eAlert blast is so important that we are sending it out again to give more people a chance to open it and pass it on.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Before you get too engrossed, let me remind you that serious, courageous and leading edge sources of information are few and far between in this era of managed news and hysteria.  The Natural Soluitons Foundation is that serious, courageous and forward thinking news source for information that comes to you first through the Health Freedom eAlerts.

&lt;br/&gt;and help keep the beacon of truth broadcasting. It's really up to us, you know.  Rupert Murdoch is not going to help so we have to do it ourselves!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here is the information you may have missed that apparently is right on the mark.  I hope our Estimate of Situation is wrong.  If it is right, you need to be prepared by getting ready to take the steps at the end of this blast.***

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Let's start with a few quotes:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable."
&lt;br/&gt;                                                        - H L Mencken
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"No country and no people can be free and ignorant at the same time."
&lt;br/&gt;                                                   - Thomas Jefferson
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The only safe vaccine is the one that is never used."
&lt;br/&gt;                                                     - James Shannon
&lt;br/&gt;                                                         Former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"I haven't got a flu shot and I don't intend to."
&lt;br/&gt;                                                                                            - George W. Bush
&lt;br/&gt;                                                                     2004 Presidential Candidate

&lt;br/&gt;Could Save Your Life.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Or you can ignore it, but that choice might kill you.  It's your choice.  The tale which you need to hear is a long, complicated one, winding its way from China to France by way of the First World War, Rockefeller's Oil Cartel, Sanofi-Pasteur and Iraq to its final destination: A syringe full of something claiming to be a vaccine against the now-deadly Avian Flu imported from China and filled in a plant in the US.  Filled with what?  Nothing good. This is not a story to be told in a few brief paragraphs.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;It is long and complicated but I urge you to read it and then to take the steps listed and please, SHARE THIS INFORMATION AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Avian Flu Has Already Been Weaponized
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'll give you the bottom line first: based on Gen. Stubblebine's careful analysis of the existing evidence, Avian Flu has already been turned into a pandemic virus with a lot of sophisticated help from people who are not your friends, but who are very good at weaponizing organisms, like the previously innocuous bird flu virus, H5N1.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;There is a basic virological fact you need to know to make sense of what comes next: it is impossible to make a vaccine against a virus that does not yet exist.  Public relations efforts to the contrary, IF a vaccine is being made against the Avian Flu virus in its pandemic form, that means that the pandemic virus already exists.  Period.  End of discussion.  So that fact that the Avian Flu vaccine is already being manufactured in China by Sanofi-Pasteur, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French arm of the Rockefeller oil cartel (Total Petroleum) is confirmation of what you are about to read.   If you allow it to be introduced into your body, there is no reason to imagine it will be anything but an unmitigated disaster for your immune system and for you.  We believe it's planned to be that way.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;I do not know A. True Ott, PhD, but he was kind enough to send me a PDF file recently in which he puts a lot of the pieces together that I have been finding in my own research.  Some of his conclusions I have serious difficulty with, but parts of his chronology are used here with appreciation.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Let's start with the basics: H5N1 is a benign, commonplace virus which most birds carry with no harm to themselves or humans.  Humans also have viruses we have no problem with: these viral companions keep our immune systems healthy and humming.  Only under the stimulus of novel and dangerous toxins which your body has no way to get rid of (detoxify), and stress which overwhelms your coping capacity, does an innocuous virus mutate and become something that can make you sick or kill you.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;All human cases of H5N1 have occurred in areas of sick birds in large concentrations such as factory farms where handlers come into contact with stressed and sick birds in toxic surroundings where toxic residues are concentrated at high levels.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;For example, in Vietnam, where thousands of gallons of Monsanto chemicals such as Agent Orange were  dumped in huge amounts following the Vietnam war outbreaks of Avian Flu are not uncommon. These outbreaks occurred in highly toxic environments, where crowded, sick factory farm chickens have been inoculated [supposedly] against Avian Flu.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;It will also become deadly, of course, when labs are employed to alter it so that it becomes an efficient weapon of mass destruction.  The US has had a program to accomplish exactly that for over a century now, astounding as that may seem!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;---&gt;Our best intelligence estimate is that pandemic Avian Flu already exists.  It appears to have been turned into a massive viral threat through bioengineering by the United States, fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic, mis-named the "Spanish Flu", with the DNA of the H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells to make sure that the virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them.&amp;amp;lt;---
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;***Please re-read that paragraph again and consider the threat that poses to you and your family.***
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Spanish Pandemic Rides Again
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The genome of the 1918 pandemic so-called "Spanish Flu" was recently intentionally resurrected.  Because of that resurrection, the Avian Flu, and its vaccine, are now a US government-instigated threat to life - your life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Spanish Flu, which was not Spanish at all, was created in the US through an early bioweapons program and injected into healthy young men (i.e., 'soldiers') as the first mandatory vaccination in the military during WWI (also known as the "War to End Wars" and the "Great War").  The "Spanish Flu", which originated in Kansas on US Military bases, killed about 50 million people world-wide including about 650,000 Americans.  It was one of the deadliest pandemics in modern history.  It was also one of the most successful biological weapons ever created.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;***Time Line To Disaster*** 
&lt;br/&gt;{ I MOVED THIS SECTION to bottom of post in order to put ACTION STEPS AS A PRIORITY -PB}
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ACTION STEPS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I Told You It Was A Long Story, But One You Needed to Hear.
&lt;br/&gt;Now What Can You Do To Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First of all, remember that you have an immune system.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Back at the beginning of this article I told you that viruses (and bacteria, for that matter), do not make you sick if you are equipped with a healthy immune system and you are non toxic.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;That means change your eating habits TODAY.  The intake of refined sugar, pesticides, fluoridated water and toothpastes, etc., artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and genetically modified foods (found in everything that does not explicitly say "Certified Organic") all depress your immune system.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Buy "Organic", wild crafted, food that is locally grown by people you know (and don't assume that just because a field is nearby, the food is not sprayed or genetically modified or both).  ASK!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;So Step One is to alter your diet and make eating for life, not for the moment, your number one food priority. Please, take this seriously.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Step Two is to harvest and cultivate information.  When the Pandemic is about to be released (and, God willing, it will never be), there will be increased propaganda rumblings to "prepare" you to submit to the schemes for control and inoculation. Stay in touch with your local community advanced health care advocates (including NSF local organizers, alternative practitioners, health store and food co-ops, etc)... keep your eyes and ears opened and let us know if you come across any information that may help us all.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Natural Solutions Foundation gets information from all over the world.  Our friends are inside of corporations and outside of them, inside of governments and outside of them, inside of news media and outside of them.  We hear things early and we WILL let you know what we are hearing as soon as we hear it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That means that you need to open our emails when you get them and at least skim them. It also means that you should share the fact that there are free Health Freedom eAlerts for which other people need to be watching, as well.  They need to be on the list so they can have early warning as well.  Send everyone you know this link
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=187 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and ask them to join the free distribution list.  It's very good insurance: it costs nothing but can save lives.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;There are two other lists you need to join to stay informed and empowered.  The first is our powerful and vibrant No-Forced-Vaccines Yahoo Forum at
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/join 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The second list is about GM "foods". Check out Natural Solutions Foundation's Trustee Ralph Fucetola's most recent blog on the topic,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2008/07/five-action-steps-to-protect-from-gmos.html 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Organic foods may be expensive: pandemic diseases and cancer are a lot more expensive.  So is forced sterility.  So are lethal allergies.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since Genetically Modified "food" is so omnipresent in the food supply and so very dangerous, find out what you can do about it, and how to avoid it, by joining the Natural Solutions Foundation No GMO Yahoo!Group:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-genetically-modified-foods/join 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Step Three is to develop your "exit strategy."  Once the Pandemic drums start beating, it is time to get out of the US until the insanity is past.  Where to go?  That is a matter of personal decision.  If you do not have a passport, you cannot go anywhere.  Get one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you do not have a plan, you will not go anywhere.  Make one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Come visit us in Panama, for example, in the lovely Valley of the Moon.  Go to some place sane and stay there with your kids while this insanity swirls around.  No one knows what the vaccines will contain or what they will do.  If you want to play roulette with the intent of the vaccine makers, that is your choice.  I have my passport in hand and I will use it. I hope you will, too.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Valley of the Moon:  http://www.naturalsolutionsfoundation.org 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Step Four: keep up to date with the Advanced Health Care options that could save your life. Research the potential value of natural remedies such as grapefruit seed extract, colloidal or ionic silver, or immune system boosters like Echinacea. Check our www.Organics4U.org and www.NaturalSolutionsMarketplace.org for some good choices. More will be posted as we continue to enhance these member services.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;If you have not given, now would be a good time to do that. Recurring donations of any amount entitle you to membership in the new Health Freedom Heroes Forum along with our local organizers and key advocates.  Wouldn't you like to be part of that group?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Every penny donated to the Foundation goes toward our work.  General Bert and I receive not a single cent in payment for the work we do.  We do it because we know that it is vitally important and that no one else besides the Natural Solutions Foundation is doing it!  We, all of us together, are the single most effective, and largest Health Freedom organization in the world. Thank you for making that possible!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;We brought this important Health Freedom Intelligence Report to you so you can be aware of the threats to your health and freedom... and being forewarned is, we trust, being forearmed!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;And please have Hope; the threats are real, but the solutions are natural...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yours in health and freedom,

&lt;br/&gt;{TIMELINE CHRONOLOGY MOVED HERE FROM MIDDLE OF DR. LAIBOW'S NEWSLETTER:}
&lt;br/&gt;This may be one of the most important chronologies you will ever read:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;April 6, 1917:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * US declares war on Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire.
&lt;br/&gt;    * America swings into full production of War material.
&lt;br/&gt;    * American men are drafted into military service and deployed for training in Spain
&lt;br/&gt;    * ALL NEW RECRUITS ARE GIVEN MANDATORY VACCINATIONS --- One of which is a "broad-spectrum" live virus influenza vaccination
&lt;br/&gt;    * Rockefeller makes millions in vaccine sales while consolidating Standard Oil contracts worldwide
&lt;br/&gt;    * The first British soldiers committed to World War I are deployed to Iraq to protect American oil interests there
&lt;br/&gt;    * Following mass vaccine injections, U.S. soldiers are crowded into troop ships and sent to "train" in Spain.  Seasick, stressed soldiers aged 18-34 exhibit influenza symptoms on the voyage
&lt;br/&gt;    * Immediately after arriving in Spain, U.S. soldiers are "trained", that is, exposed to, the various forms of gas they will experience in the trenches in France
&lt;br/&gt;    * Exposure to these highly toxic gases causes the live-virus influenza  organisms to mutate into an extremely lethal, and highly communicable, form of virus
&lt;br/&gt;    * Millions of young, healthy men and women aged 18-34 die worldwide as a result of vaccinations  combined with novel and highly toxic chemicals
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;November 11, 1918
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;      * Armistice with Germany and its Allies
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;      * Following the end of "The Great War" - The heads of the various multi-national banks met in conference at San Remo in 1924 to assess war reparations for Germany
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;      * The Rockefellerd and the Rothschilds consolidated and vastly increased their wealth through actively funding both sides of the war
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;March 28, 1924
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Rockefeller formes a French oil conglomerate  calling  it "Total", the "French Company of Petroleums" aka CFP
&lt;br/&gt;    * TOTAL is awarded a controlling interest via Deutsche Bank's stock in the Turkish Petroleum Company in Baghdad which was eventually renamed the Iraq Petroleum Company
&lt;br/&gt;    * The Iraq Petroleum Company was  confiscated and nationalized by Saddam Hussein in 1990.
&lt;br/&gt;    * TOTAL Inc. is a true multi-national mega-corporation which  operates in more than 130 countries and has over 110,000 employees.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now the Avian Flu - Oil - China - US - WMD connection starts to get interesting.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's the Play: Oil to Drugs to Death
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Two of TOTAL's prime, wholly-owned subsidiaries are the pharmaceutical giants Sanofi-Aventis, and Sanofi-Pasteur.  Both are world-leaders in the development and testing of experimental vaccines, which are manufactured primarily in China.  On March 23, 2005, NIH, through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, announces the initiation of a program to develop a vaccine for Avian Flu, asserting that although there have only been less than a handful of cases, Avian Flu poses a vast public health menace.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/news/newsreleases/2005/avianfluvax.htm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And it is clearly true that a weaponized virus does present a massive threat to public health.  That's the whole point of weaponizing it, isn't it? For a look at Sanofi-Pasteur's plans for its profit (and perhaps your death). You can confirm their plans here:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.sanofi-aventis.com/Images/060706_IR_en_tcm23-13319.pdf
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But please come back when you finish reading.  The information below is critically important to you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As a side note, the Chinese factories of these two pharmaceutical mammoths are (unlike Sanofi-Pasteur's Swiftwater, PA, factory, according to dissidents such as Harry Wu, et. al.) staffed in part or entirely by political and other prisoners working under brutal slave labor conditions. China has a long history of Western Pharmaceutical manufacture, according to Wikipedia.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bear in mind that most influenza strains and their hosts adapt to each other after roughly two years, so that the same strain of flu no longer causes symptoms.  Of course, once a strain has been weaponized, there is little reason to think that it will revert as natural strains do.  It, or the vaccine it seems to legitimize, will go on killing and killing and killing.  Or is the word "culling"?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To date, there have only been around 385  human cases identified worldwide (if those identifications are trustworthy, of course), with only 243 deaths. To put the absurdity of this effort into perspective, Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), which researchers believe is heavily associated with aspartame consumption, is a leading cause of death which, according to the CDC, for example, killed 460,000 Americans in 1999 and the numbers keep rising - http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5106a3.htm. But Aspartame is not under the gun. Instead, Avian Flu is.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To quote Dr. Ott, "There are 6.7 Billion humans on planet earth.  This equates to a statistical infection rate of .000000004215 percent. In other words, statistically speaking, you are over 100,000 times more likely to be hit by lightning in your home than to contract the "Bird Flu."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Given the shockingly obvious lack of a real threat from an unweaponized H5N1 virus, how can we explain the  Bush Administration spending billions of dollars preparing each of the 50 States for what it drums into us is the "inevitable Bird Flu pandemic" anticipated to kill half or more of all Americans and similar numbers of people around the globe?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Back to the Time Line
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;March 1997:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Zero confirmed "H5N1" human cases exist anywhere in the word
&lt;br/&gt;    * The U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Ft. Detrick, Rockville, Maryland, the US research center for biological weaponry, commissions  Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger to lead a research team to ISOLATE the 1918 Flu Virus' genetic code, the most lethal pathogen in history
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Aug. 24, 1997:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Brevig, Alaska.  Research Team member Johan Hultin sends well-preserved 1918 flu virus specimens (from a frozen body killed by the 1918 flu) to Dr. Taubenberger's lab in Maryland.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Days later, Taubenberger detects the genetic fragments for which he has been searching.
&lt;br/&gt;    * The 1918 virus' RNA-based gene fragments are analyzed by computer sequencing in order to reveal its complete genetic code. Even with a super-computer, this code sequencing will take years to complete.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;October, 2003:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Taubenberger's team finally deciphers the deadly 1918 flu virus' entire genetic code - completing a 6 year project.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Taubenberger's colleague, R.G. Webster, publishes article in American Scientist Magazine declaring: "The world is teetering on the edge of a flu pandemic that could kill a large fraction of the human population".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;October, 2004
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Dmtry Lvov, head of the Russian Virology Institute declares that up to one billion people around the world could die during the next pandemic.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;June, 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * At Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York (alleged to be Rockefeller controlled), Taubenberger,Peter Palese and Adolfo Garcia-Sastro create plasmids, or DNA rings, from the 1918 killer virus, permanently "stabilizing" its genetic material for use as a biological weapon
&lt;br/&gt;    * This is the final step in revitalizing the deadly pathogen but the press is told tit will only to be used as a "vaccination tool" - even though the disease is currently non-existent.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;August, 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Taugenberger's team inserts plasmids into human kidney cells which then transfers human DNA into the virus making it "human specific"
&lt;br/&gt;    * The 1918 virus, responsible for the death of millions around the world is now ready for use by humans
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sept. 9, 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * The UN in New York City issues a world-wide press release introducing David Nabarro as the "UN System Senior Coordinator for Avian, Human Influenza".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sept. 29, 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Nabarro issues an "Official U.N. Warning" that "an outbreak of 'avian influenza' would kill between 5 million and 150 million people on each continent."  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oct. 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Pres. Bush's newly appointed secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS, the parent organization of both the CDC and the FDA), former Utah Governor Mike O. Leavitt, intensifies multibillion Pandemic Bird Flu preparations
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dec. 2005:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Bush solicits Congress for $7.1 Billion to fund "preparations" --- $3.3 billion is immediately allocated to Leavitt's HHS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;January 24, 2006
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Department of Homeland Security awards KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, a $385 million contract for US detention centers
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jan. 2006:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt launches website - www.pandemicflu.gov - on which he says: "Let me be clear. It is only a matter of time before we discover H5N1 in America.  The migration patterns of the wild fowl that carry the virus makes it appearance here almost inevitable!"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * China hosts the "International Pledging Conference on Avian and Human Influenza" in Beijing and is promised massive sums of money from the west --- Leavitt alone commits $334 million in funds to aid China's research into "vaccine development".  
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt has a long history of fostering Chinese trade activities as Utah's Governor
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;March 2006:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Breaking new ground, Leavitt's HHS allocates funds to a private television network to produce a "made-for-TV" movie about the "bird flu"
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt jokes that he wants "the handsomest actor" to play his character
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt declares on HHS website (exactly as John D. Rockefeller declared in 1916): "The best defense against influenza is VACCINATION."
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt further declares: "The current U.S. capacity for manufacturing egg-based vaccines is not sufficient to supply our entire population. HHS is supporting research into [human kidney] cell-based vaccine manufacture of producing vaccine domestically
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;April, 2006:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * HHS announces a $97 million contract for the development of cell-based flu vaccine.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Leavitt  declares: "The FDA can use its Emergency Use Authorization authority to permit the use of unapproved products if there's a reasonable belief the products may be effective."
&lt;br/&gt;    * 32 states pass laws which make resisting inoculation once ordered by the governor a felony.
&lt;br/&gt;    * These laws join Patriot Act I, II, BARDA, BIOSHIELD I, II in making drug treatment and innoculation mandatory once a Pandemic is called.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Unlimited quarantine without review is mandated under these laws for those who resist innoculation under Pandemic conditions.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Fully staffed, empty detention centers exist all over North America.  The largest, in Alasks, is roumored to have a 2.5 million person capacity.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;December, 2006
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * New York Times reports Gulf War Syndrome positively linked to vaccination of Veterans.
&lt;br/&gt;    * More than 100,000 vets contracted the syndrome during the 1991 Desert Storm Operation.
&lt;br/&gt;    * More than 20,000 vets have died to date from this syndrome believed to be triggered by squalene, a vaccine "adjutant."
&lt;br/&gt;    * All modern vaccines contain squalene
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;April 17, 2007:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) branch of HHS utilizes its Emergency Use Authorization authority and awards a license to produce H5N1 "Bird Flu" vaccines to Sanofi-Pasteur.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * FDA Bird Flu approval letter states:
&lt;br/&gt;       
&lt;br/&gt;      "We have approved your Biologics License Application (BLA) for Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, effective this date. You are hereby authorized to introduce or deliver for introduction into interstate commerce, Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, under your existing Department of Health and Human Services U.S. License No. 1725; however, we acknowledge your statement provided in your submission of April 5, 2007, that Sanofi Pasteur Inc. does not intend to license this product for commercial distribution, since it was produced under contract to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of national pandemic preparedness initiatives. Influenza Virus Vaccine, H5N1, is indicated for active immunization of persons 18 through 64 years of age at increased risk of exposure to the H5N1 influenza virus subtype contained in the vaccine."
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Dr. David Nabarro, UN Influenza Coordinator, welcomes a donation of 60 million doses of H5N1 Avian Flu vaccine by Sanofi-Pasteur.
&lt;br/&gt;    * This adds to the stockpile of a previous donation of 30 million doses by GlaxoSmithKline Dr. Nabarro said that good progress had been made but Avian Flu could still kill as many of 150 million people.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Avian Flu still entrenched in Viet Nam, Bangladesh, India, Egypt and India [sic] says Dr. Nabarro.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Outbreaks recorded in 60 more countries according to US Influenza Coordinator.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But the people who make vaccines are ethical and look out for our best interests don't they? The cold, hard fact is that vaccine makers are neither ethical nor concerned with health and longevity of their recipients.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Remember: vaccination remains an uninurable risk: no parent, physician or pharmaceutical company can buy insurance against vaccine induced harm. The insurance industry refuses to accept the risk. That's why Congress created the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program that is funded by a special tax added to the cost of each vaccine shot: we pay to protect pharmaceutical company profits.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Vaccines can be used for a great deal more than just for what it says on the label.  After all, faced with a syringe of fluid, who is to say exactly what is in there and what the intended, or unintended outcomes of being injected will be?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It takes a huge amount of faith to allow a hypodermic under your skin.  That faith is, the Natural Solutions Foundation believes, without significant basis.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shielded by the FDA, vaccine (and drug) manufacturers are immune from prosecution for wrong doing and continue to do wrong with horrifying impunity. That's even BEFORE the Avian Flu weaponization and subsequent vaccine development.  A few examples out of many, many will suffice:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;April, 1930
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Eli Lilly, makers of Thimerisol, inject the product into 22 people with meningitis who all die.  Lilly publishes the "study", claiming  that Thimerisol, 50% mercury by weight, is safe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1972:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * World Health Organization (WHO) Bulletin No.47 refers to creation of an immune virus  and suggests that a useful way to study the effects would be "to put it into a vaccination program and observe the results."
&lt;br/&gt;    * It is theorized that WHO used the smallpox vaccination program in Central Africa for this study, since the spread of HIV infection coincides precisely with the most intense and recent smallpox vaccination campaigns.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Information on the Central African countries most infected with HIV precisely matches WHO figures indicating the number of people vaccinated in these areas.
&lt;br/&gt;    * The virus requested would selectively destroy the T-cell system. (1972 Federation Proceedings of WHO).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1974
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Henry Kissenger writes a classified "National Security Study Memorandium 2000: Implications of worldwide population growth for U.S. security and overseas interest (NSSM 200)" which identifies India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Columbia as targets for initial population reduction.
&lt;br/&gt;    * The Philippine Supreme Court found that 3 million Philippinas between 12 and 45 years of age were given this vaccine.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Native American Woman and Black women in the US received this vaccine.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Sterility rates in Native American Women in the US is over 35%.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Sterility rates in Black Women in the US is over 25%.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;December 1976
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * No epidemic of Swine flu surfaces despite rapid approval and respone to perceived threat following 1 death of a solder at Ft. Dix, NJ.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Swine Flu inoculation program shut down after risk of death and polio like syndrome from the vaccination is found to be almost 12 times greater in vaccinated than unvaccinated people.  5% of people afflicted die, 10% are crippled or maimed for life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.haverford.edu/biology/edwards/disease/viral_essays/warnervirus.htm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May 1987:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * The Times of London reported on its front page that smallpox vaccine administered by the World Health organization had triggered HIV/AIDS.
&lt;br/&gt;    * 100 Million vaccinated Africans are at risk.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Areas with highest vaccination rate show highest HIV/AIDS rates.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Robert Gallo, discoverer of the HIV/AIDS virus, defends those figures and says, "AIDS researchers will keep their mouths shut because they are paid to do so."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;November 28, 2002
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * A rider tacked onto the end of the Homeland Security Bill confers immunity from liability prosecution on Eli Lilly and other manufacturers of vaccines.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;June 1990:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Court case reveals that babies in Los Angeles were used as human guinea pigs with a experimental measles vaccine called Edmonston Zagreb high titer measles vaccine (E-Z ).  From 1989-1991, Kaiser Permanente and LA County Dep't of Health and CDC injected 700+ "mostly minority" babies with unlicensed experimental vaccines with fraudulently-obtained parental consent.
&lt;br/&gt;    * E-Z is closely associated with increased death rate in infant girls in Sendgal, Guneau Bisseau, and Haiti before their second birthday.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Most of the families are not aware to date that their child was used as a human guinea pig.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;March 19, 1992
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Dr. David Heymann, head of the office of research for the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS, and Harvard pathology professor William Haseltine refuse to discuss the possibility of AIDS transmission via vaccines.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Dr. Heymann states in a phone interview from Geneva, "The origin of the AIDS virus is of no importance to science today. Any speculation on how it arose is of no importance." Haseltine is even more adamant. "It's distracting, it's nonproductive, it's confusing to the public, and I think it's grossly misleading in terms of getting to the solution of the problem. It's over, it's done with, it's very, very, very unlikely it happened that way, and it's another nonsense article. It's the worst kind of reporting as far as I'm concerned."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;World Health Organization (WHO)
&lt;br/&gt;Uses Vaccines to Make Women Sterile
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1972:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * WHO begins its "Special Programme" in human reproduction with programs for both male fertility control through vaccines and female fertility control
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1985
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * WHO Vaccines for smallpox and tetanus are laced with female reproductive hormones to induce permanent sterility to "eliminate 150 million excess Sub-Saharan Africans" according to WHO documents.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;July, 1989
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * After years of denial, a scientific paper demonstrates conclusively that WHO tetanus vaccines used in the Philipines contained female reproductive hormones, inducing permanent sterility without consent or knowledge of the women treated.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Tetanus toxoid is linked to the human reproductive hormone to overcome immunological tolerance to the hormone and prod the body of the woman into producing antibodies to her own reproductive hormones.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1990
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Women between the ages of 12 and 45  are targeted for a 5 injection series of "tetanus" shots.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Boys, men, children and older women are not given the shots.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Tetanus ordinarily requires a single booster every 10 years.
&lt;br/&gt;    * The 5 shot tetanus protocol is used with vaccines which contained female reproductive hormones to render the women of Tanzania, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Mexico and other countries infertile
&lt;br/&gt;    * Oxford University Press publishes article titled "Bypass by an alternate carrier of acquired unresponsiveness to hCG upon repeated immunizations with tetanus-conjugate vaccine' confirming method of inducing sterility requires multiple vaccinations.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Abstract
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Most, if not all, criticisms of the Bush administration's motivation for launching a preemptive war on Iraq focus on a combination of the imperial world views of conservative politicians in power in Washington, D.C., and the corporate interests that drive the political agenda of the Bush administration. This study will provide a radically different political analysis of the Bush administration's motivation for going war, and of the explanations offered by his critics. This study provides an exopolitical analysis of the policy dimensions of an historic extraterrestrial presence that is pertinent to Iraq and a US led preemptive attack. It will be argued that competing clandestine government organizations are struggling through proxy means to take control of ancient extraterrestrial (ET) technology that exists in Iraq, in order to prepare for an impending series of events corresponding to the 'prophesied return' of an advanced race of ETs. The Columbia Space Shuttle may well have been a high profile victim of such a proxy war intended to send a message to US based clandestine organizations over the preemptive war against Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    In conducting this analysis, this study examines the available evidence of an historical ET presence in Iraq, and then applies this evidence to better understand the contemporary political situation in Iraq. The study will then analyze the motivations of the main political actors in the prospective US led preemptive war against Iraq. The study concludes by making some policy recommendations concerning how to respond to the legacy of an ET presence in Iraq and its contemporary political relevance.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Introduction*
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    In his 2003 State of the Union address President George W. Bush declared "the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nuclear, chemical and biological weapons." (1) In his speech, President Bush eloquently expressed his main motivation for launching a preemptive war against Iraq in order to prevent "a day of horror like none we have ever known." Critics of President Bush's preemptive policy, including the political commentator, Robert Fisk, argue the upcoming US led war against Iraq "isn't about chemical warheads or human rights: it's about oil." (2) According to another prominent political commentator, Michael Lind, the motivation lies in the preemptive military doctrine championed by 'neo-conservatives' such as Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, whose policy views were given more prominence after the September 11 attack. (3)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Most, if not all, criticisms of the Bush administration's motivation for going to war focus on a combination of the imperial world views of conservative politicians in power in Washington, D.C., and the corporate interests that drive the political agenda of the Bush administration. This paper will provide a radically different political analysis of the Bush administration's motivation for going war, and of the explanations offered by his critics. It will be argued that the focus on either the factors supporting a preemptive war against an Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction; or on criticisms against US imperialism and corporate interests, are not so much wrong, but simply reflect a limited political paradigm for understanding the motivations behind US foreign policy.
&lt;br/&gt;    The political paradigm to be used in this paper is based on 'exopolitics'. (4) This paradigm starts with the premise that there exists an extraterrestrial (ET) presence on Earth which clandestine government organizations have been withholding knowledge of from the general public and elected public officials. Rather than being an unsubstantiated 'conspiracy theory' with little relevance to contemporary policy issues such as a preemptive US war against Iraq, it will be argued that an exopolitical analysis can provide a more comprehensive understanding of what motivates the Bush administration in launching a preemptive attack against Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Exopolitics as an emerging field of public policy is primarily based on the evidence provided by a range of sources supporting the idea of an ET presence that is known by clandestine government organizations that suppress this from the general public and elected political leaders. (5) The most important evidence comes from former military and government officials who have come forward to give 'whistle blower' testimony in a number of non-governmental initiatives to promote disclosure of the ET presence. (6) While many disagree over the plausibility of the available evidence and take various positions either for or against the existence of an ET presence and government non-disclosure of this presence, exopolitics is based on the premise that such debate ought not preclude discussion of the implications of such a presence among policy makers and the general public. Therefore when one examines contemporary international issue such as a US led preemptive war in Iraq, one can explore the viewpoints offered by those using an exopolitical analysis, and consider the plausibility of these for a more comprehensive understanding of foreign policy, irrespective of the ongoing debate over the persuasiveness of the available evidence. This is necessary since those actively involved in a non-disclosure program will be use disinformation, intimidation and other strategies to deter witnesses, distort evidence, and deter public attention from the ET presence and how it pertains to a range of contemporary policy issues. Finally, a clandestine campaign of non-disclosure needs to be considered in conducting exopolitical analysis in terms of the likelihood of this influencing and/or compromising available empirical evidence that otherwise would confirm an ET presence. Therefore, exopolitical analysis has some key differences from more conventional approaches to political analysis which are based on a traditional social scientific method of a value free, objective analysis of available processes, institutions and actors in the public policy arena.
&lt;br/&gt;    What follows is an exopolitical analysis of the policy dimensions of an historic ET presence that is pertinent to Iraq and a US led preemptive attack on the regime of Saddam Hussein. In conducting this analysis, I will first examine the available evidence of an historical ET presence in Iraq; then apply this evidence to better understand the contemporary political situation in Iraq; I will then analyze the motivations of the main political actors in the prospective US led preemptive war against Iraq; and finally conclude by making some policy recommendations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    What's the Evidence for an historic ET presence in Iraq?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The strongest available evidence for an historical ET presence in Iraq comes from cuneiform tablets directly recording the beliefs and activities of the ancient Sumerians whose civilization began almost overnight in 3800 BC. Most of these cuneiform tablets relate stories of the Sumerians interacting with their 'gods'. Most archeologists initially accepted that these were merely myths and attached little importance to them other than giving insight into the mytho-religious beliefs of the ancient Sumerians. That viewpoint received a major challenge in 1976 when the Sumerian scholar, Zecharia Sitchin, published the first of a series of books on his translations of thousands of Sumerian tablets. (7) Rather than treating the stories of the gods as myths that had little empirical relevance, Sitchin interpreted the tablets as literal descriptions of events as they occurred in the time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Sitchin's translations of Sumerian cuneiform tablets revealed precise information on a range of topics that he argues could not have been possible for a civilization at the initial stages of its development with no obvious predecessor civilization to borrow from. According to Sitchin, the Sumerians had detailed knowledge of all the planets in the solar system, understood the precession of the equinoxes, and also had an understanding of complex medical procedures. (8) As to where they could have gained this detailed knowledge, Sitchin's translations suggest that the Sumerians provided a clear answer for its ultimate source. They revealed in their tablets that all their knowledge came from a race of extraterrestrial visitors the 'Anunnaki' ('those who from heaven to Earth came') who were not only teachers for the Sumerians, but also played a role in the creation of the human race. The origin of this ET race was a planet called Nibiru that had a long elliptical journey around the sun, and returned to this region of the solar system every 3,600 years. (9)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    When Sitchin's innovative work was first published, it raised great controversy and intense debate between those either for or against his main thesis of an historic ET presence in Sumer that was responsible for starting the remarkable Sumerian civilization. Among those responding favorably to Sitchin's thesis included established popular authors such as Erik Von Danniken who had himself written in 1969, the best selling book, Chariots of the Gods, that proposed an historic ET presence in different parts of the planet. (10) Another popular author, David Hatcher Childress, outlines with great detail the ET technology possessed by ancient civilizations in his various books. (11) Less well known authors such as William Henry have similarly published books supporting Sitchin's thesis. (12)
&lt;br/&gt;    To support Sitchin's thesis, many authors typically cite biblical texts that make reference to the 'gods' that resided on Earth and interacted with humanity. The biblical text most referred to is the apocryphal book of Enoch. (13) While the Book of Enoch was excluded in most versions of the Old Testament, it was nevertheless part of ancient Hebrew scholarship and indeed is included in the Ethiopian and Slavic versions of the Old Testament. The Book of Enoch describes a rebel group of angels, the 'Nephilim', who numbered 200, who settled the Earth and interbred with the human population before being recalled and punished by their superiors, the 'Elohim'. (14) The Book of Enoch provides contextual detail for mysterious verses in the Book of Genesis which describes a time when the 'sons of gods', the Nephilim/Anunnaki, interbred with humanity, and created a race of giants/heroes that ruled over the rest of humanity: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterwards-when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." (15) Supporters of the Sitchin thesis say that this is part of the biblical evidence that an advanced ET race did in fact exist on Earth, had a long interaction with humanity, and even played a role in the creation of the human race.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    In addition to the growing number of authors, independent archaeologists and biblical commentators supporting Sitchin's thesis, there are a burgeoning number of individuals who claim to be in telepathic communication with ET races who reveal information on the historic ET presence in Sumer. One of these ET 'channels', is Jelaila Starr who claims to be in touch with beings from Nibiru itself, and she regularly releases online information from the Anunnaki themselves on her website. (16) Another is Sheldan Nidle who 'channels' an ET race from the star system Sirius gives extensive information on the historic presence and influence of the Anunnaki in his books and website. (17)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    There is great controversy over the extent to which such a disparate collection of evidentiary sources can substantiate the Sitchin thesis of an historic ET presence in Sumer. Despite the controversy generated by such sources, they provide a wealth of information that merits closer examination in terms of their public policy implications. Given that exopolitics is based on the premise of an ET presence that is subject to non-disclosure by clandestine government organizations, it is possible to provide an exopolitical perspective on Sitchin's thesis despite the ongoing debate over the consistency and accuracy of the available evidence.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    How Does the Historic ET presence relate to US policy in Iraq?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    An independent archaeologist that discusses a direct link between the ancient ET presence in Sumer (southern Iraq) and current US focus on the regime of Saddam Hussein, is William Henry. Henry's main thesis is that there existed in Sumerian times a technological device which he describes as a 'Stargate', that the Anunnaki/Nephilim used to travel back and forth from their homeworld and the Earth, and also how they travel around the galaxy. (18) Henry focuses on the following scene described by Sitchin's interpretation of a cuneiform tablet of an Uruk ritual text:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;        Depictions have been found that show divine beings flanking a temple entrance and holding up poles to which ringlike objects are attached. The celestial nature of the scene is indicated by the inclusion of the symbols of the Sun and the Moon.... depicting Enlil and Enki flanking a gateway through which Anu is making a grand entrance. (19)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Rather than a simple temple scene involving the chief Anunnaki of the Sumerians, Anu and his two sons, Enlil and Enki, Henry proposes that the above scene represents a transportation device used by Anu and others from the elite Anunnaki. If so, then such a device is most likely located in the Sumerian city of Uruk which was the founding city of the Sumerian civilization and the home of Gilgamesh, the famed king of the Epic of Gilgamesh. (20)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Sitchin, and authors such as David Childress who discuss the various technologies used by ETs and ancient civilizations, missed the significance of the Stargate in their own translations of the above texts and investigations of ET transportation. Both operated in a conventional paradigm where transportation occurs through rocket propelled vehicles. (21) Sitchin focuses on rocket propelled spacecraft in his description of the Anunnaki and their various trips to and from the Earth. For example, describing the transportation used by the Anunnaki in moving between their earth and space based locations, Sitchin wrote: "The texts reveal that three hundred of them - The "Anunnaki of Heaven," or Igig- were true astronauts who stayed aboard the spacecraft without actually landing on Earth. Orbiting Earth, these spacecraft launched and received the shuttle craft to and from Earth." (22)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    It therefore can be concluded that there were two forms of transportation used by the Anunnaki. One was a form of rocket technology familiar to us which was used by the resident Anunnaki on Earth who Sitchin, described as the "rank and file Anunnaki" who administered the Earth and humanity according to the dictates of their space based compatriots. (23) Another transportation technology was the Stargate which presumably was used only by the highest class of Anunnaki, who dispensed the tasks of harvesting the Earth's resources to the resident and space based Anunnaki (lessor gods/rebel angels). Interpreting the Babylonian Epic of Creation, one gains an idea of the way tasks were allotted and the hierarchy of the Anunnaki in the way the 'supreme god' Marduk, dispensed tasks to his subordinate Anu, chief of the Anunnaki:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;        Assigned to Anu, to heed his instructions, Three hundred in the heavens he stationed as a guard; the ways of Earth to define from the Heaven; And on Earth, Six hundred he made reside. After he all their instructions had ordered, to the Anunnaki of Heaven and of Earth he allotted their assignments. (24)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Thus the Anunnaki operated outposts both on Earth and in Space to maintain their control over the planet. Given the strict hierarchy of authority described by Sitchin in his detailed analysis of the Anunnaki and their interactions with one another and humanity, it is likely that the Stargate would have been revered and a subject of awe by the resident Anunnaki and humanity who could only observe its operation but were not allowed to use it themselves. As such, there would have been only a limited number of Stargates around the planet, with the Sumerian Stargate being located in the most important of the ancient Sumerian cities - the most likely being the ancient capital of Uruk, home of the ancient kings, which is located in Southern Iraq. Significantly, after a 12 year lull in excavations, a team of German researchers in 2002 resumed excavations in the buried city of Uruk. Using a magnetometer which is able to detect the presence of man-made objects beneath the soil, and a powerful computer system in Germany, German geophysicists were able to map out the buried structures of the sprawling ancient capital of 5.5 km2 that was where Sumerian civilization began. (25)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    An important event in the Sumerian descriptions of the Anunnaki, was the latter's final departure from the planet during a series of cataclysmic events that culminated in the period 1800-1700 BC. (26) Indeed, conventional archeologists support the view that there was a regional cataclysmic event that occurred at that time. (27) If in fact there were two modes of transportation used by the Anunnaki, when most of the resident/lessor Anunnaki left by conventional rocket ships, elite Anunnaki most likely left by the Stargate and closed it down. Predictably, given the reverence and awe surrounding the Stargate, it would not have been left unprotected in the interim period between their departure and its reactivation with the prophesied return of the Anunnaki.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    A wide number of sources describe the present era in terms of a 'prophesied return of the gods/Anunnaki'. The notion of a 'prophesied return' in the context of the former Anunnaki presence varies in meaning according to three different perspectives. The first perspective is based simply on the idea of the gods or 'Anunnaki' physically returning to resume a prominent role in influencing human affairs and overseeing the use of resources of the planet. (28) In such a scenario, the first wave of Anunnaki would arrive to create the favorable conditions for the anticipated return of the Anunnaki elite. This would involve the lessor Anunnaki first returning and activating the Sumerian Stargate that would be required for the return of their leaders. Presumably, this would be heralded as a sacred event that should be celebrated by all humanity. The authors, Clive Prince and Lyn Picknett, argue that there has been an identifiable chain of global events involving key religious and political actors preparing humanity for just such a return. (29)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The second perspective on the "return of the gods/Anunnaki' is the return of their home world, the planet Nibiru. Indeed, there has been much interest generated by a range of books and online web sites devoted to the topic of the return of Nibiru, the home world of the Anunnaki. Many authors cite a variety of astronomical evidence supporting the idea of a tenth planet that has long been speculated to influence the orbits of Uranus and Neptune ever since it was found that Pluto (discovered in 1930) could not account for these perturbations. In the late1970's two astronomers from the US Naval Observatory, Tom van Flandern and Richard Harrington, begun publishing a series of papers supporting the existence of a tenth planet. (30)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The most widely cited reference to support the thesis of a tenth planet that is known but not released to the general public, is a series of press releases by the astronomical team that were searching a part of the sky which calculations by van Flandern and Harrington suggested would be where the tenth planet was. In December 1983, the chief astronomer in charge of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) run by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dr Gerry Neugebauer, announced possible confirmation of such a planet. The Washington Post Reporter summarizing the announcement wrote: "[a] heavenly body possibly as large as ... Jupiter and possibly ... part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation of Orion by an orbiting telescope..." (31) After a total of six major newspapers covered the announcement, there was a retraction of the announcement and public silence by astronomers on the possible existence of a tenth planet. Rumors began to emerge of an active campaign of suppression of information and intimidation by clandestine government organizations. (32) For example, one of the astronomers at the US Naval Observatory, Dr Richard Harrington, spoke publically and wrote articles on the hypothetical planet X and there has been speculation that this directly contributed to his untimely death by 'natural causes' in 1992. (33)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    A third perspective on what the 'prophesied return of the gods/Anunnaki' means can be found in authors who focus on the significance of the upcoming end of the current Mayan 5,200 year cycle. According to John Major Jenkins, the Mayans were aware of the way the solar ecliptic plane comes into alignment with the galactic plane on periodic basis. This makes it possible for more intense cosmic energies to reach the earth from the galactic core. There is then a corresponding increase or decrease in the level of human consciousness, i.e., parts of the brain either go online or off-line, as these Mayan cycles go through their different phases. According to Jenkins, the year 2012 corresponds to the end of the current Mayan cycle and will lead to a rapid transformation of global consciousness. (34) Numerous authors refer to this as a New Age of more enlightened global thinking and increased human potential. (35) The 'prophesied return of the gods' may therefore signify a rapid in human consciousness as dormant parts of the brain come on line when the solar ecliptic comes into alignment with the galactic plane. In this explanation, humanity itself would develop 'god-like' powers which spontaneously become accessible to large numbers of humanity. A number of authors, for example, have been describing the amazing abilities and psychic powers of an increasing number of children world wide. (36)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    In sum, the available information on the 'prophesied return of the gods' can be understood to signify an important milestone in the growth of human civilization. The 'prophesied return' can be interpreted either literally or metaphorically to mean either a physical return of the 'gods'/Anunnaki; the return of a mysterious 10th planet to the solar system; or a rapid growth in the consciousness of humanity as the solar plane comes into alignment with the galactic plane. Despite the controversy over what precisely such a 'prophesied return' signifies, the factors in such a return that most pertain to the current political situation in Iraq and preemptive military intervention by the US can be identified and analyzed. The first factor is that an ET transportation device, a Stargate, or some other important ET artifact, may lie buried in the desert of Southern Iraq which presumably will play a role in the 'prophesied return of the gods'. Second, it is possible that there will be a return of a tenth planet that plays a critical role in return of the Anunnaki and/or which significantly impacts on the global environment. Finally, there is the potential for a rapid acceleration of human consciousness as the end of the Mayan Calendar, 2012, approaches.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Exopolitical Analysis of US policy towards Iraq
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    If there is a Stargate existing in Southern Iraq that will play a role in such a 'prophesied return of the gods', then it is most likely that clandestine government organizations that greatly influence or control the Bush administration, are aware of the existence and the role of this Stargate. Iraq's President Hussein is most likely also aware of such a Stargate's existence as might be inferred by his architectural projects intent on reviving the grandeur of early Mesopotamian civilizations, and cementing his place as the restorer of Iraq's past glory. (37) More significantly, his permission for a German team of archaeologists to resume excavations in the Sumerian city of Uruk after detailed underground mapping, suggests that this may be the location of the Sumerian Stargate. This knowledge of a buried Stargate, may also be part of the reason why the German government has been publically opposed to a US preemptive war against Iraq. If in fact both the Hussein regime and the Bush administration believe that a Stargate lies buried in the sands of Southern Iraq, then there most likely exists a race to gain access to it and to control it. William Henry's thesis is that this is indeed the political underpinning of the continuing military conflict in Iraq. (38)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    From the perspective of the Bush administration, control of the Sumerian Stargate would enable clandestine government organizations to continue their global campaign of non-disclosure of the ET presence. (39) This is strongly implied by the Bush administration's penchant for secrecy and overturning many of the Freedom of Information initiatives from the earlier Clinton administration. Control of the Stargate, in addition to any other Stargates that may have been established in the capitals of other civilizations, e.g., the Egyptian, Incan and Aztec; would presumably give clandestine government organizations greater leverage with ET races that are presently interacting with the planet, or are predicted to arrive on the scene in some event associated with the 'prophesied return of the gods'. At the very least, control of the Sumerian Stargate would allow clandestine government organizations to dictate the pace of global transformations that ET races promise to introduce to the Earth with their advanced technology, superior knowledge and heightened psychic abilities.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    On the part of Hussein Regime, control of the Stargate would allow him to activate it and to fulfill prophesy by facilitating the return of an advanced race of ETs, the elite Anunnaki. President Hussein probably imagines that in return for his loyalty to the elite Anunnaki, he would be rewarded with a position of great global authority. Perhaps he would even see himself as some kind of human savior facilitating the return of the gods who would solve all of humanity's problem, and end the rule of clandestine government organizations perpetuating non-disclosure of the ET presence. Significantly, European governments such as Germany, and perhaps even France and Russia, may be giving themselves greater leverage in the future control of the Stargate by offering diplomatic cover for the Hussein regime as a quid pro quo for allowing the resumption of archaeological digging in Uruk. These governments and the clandestine organizations associated with them that have access to knowledge over the ET presence, most likely have deep suspicion over the willingness of the US to share information and control over the future of the Sumerian Stargate and any other ET technology discovered in Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Sitchin's thesis of an ancient ET presence in Sumer combined with the notion of a variety of ET transportation devices described by other authors in their research of ancient civilizations, and resumption of archaeological excavations of the first Sumerian capital Uruk in 2002, give support to William Henry's thesis of a Stargate that lies buried in the sands of southern Iraq. This provides important contextual information that is helpful in understanding the true motivations of the Bush administration in launching a preemptive attack on Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    It may be argued that the Bush administration and the Hussein Regime are both in a race against time to gain access and control of the Stargate in the ruins of Uruk or some other location in Iraq, before the prophesied return of the Anunnaki. At the moment, a stalemate exists. Hussein controls the ground in Southern Iraq, and is permitting the German led excavations in Uruk, while the US led coalition controls the sky and is monitoring the situation. The Bush administration wants control of Iraq territory to take control of excavations of Uruk to uncover its buried Stargate, and closely monitor and control it. In contrast, Hussein wants to find and activate the Stargate for his greater glory and presumably the benefit of humanity.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The primary evidentiary support for the above discussion is admittedly thin for conventional public policy experts and may sound better suited to a fictional thriller than serious public debate. From a conventional perspective, a scattered assortment of independent archeological authors, radical exegetical interpretations of biblical texts, the writings of 'channels' of ET knowledge, speculative papers from astronomers hardly constitute a persuasive source of information for understanding the motivations of US foreign policy. The prevailing explanations of a Bush administration as either devoted to eradicating Weapons of Mass Destruction, and/or being driven by oil interests and imperial ambitions would predictably prevail for those unconvinced by the above sources.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    There is however some important circumstantial evidence which lends plausibility to the Henry thesis of a Stargate as the true focus of the Bush administration or at least key interest groups behind it. The first piece of circumstantial evidence, are the overwhelming whistleblower testimonies confirming the existence of clandestine government organizations responsible for suppressing public knowledge of an ET presence, and which controls all official interaction with ET races. (40) From an exopolitical perspective, then, the clandestine suppression of a contemporary ET presence, supports the conclusion that there is also an active clandestine suppression of an ancient ET presence which also has significant public policy implications.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The second piece of circumstantial evidence, is the powerful diplomatic support given by Germany and France to the Hussein Regime in warding off a preemptive military strike. So powerful has been this support, that the US Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, disparagingly referred to them as the "Old Europe" in response to a reporter on January 22, 2003:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;        "You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's 'old Europe.' If you look at the entire NATO Europe today, the center of gravity is shifting to the East. And there are a lot of new members. And if you just take the list of all the members of NATO and all of those who have been invited in recently -- what is it, 26, something like that? [But] you're right. Germany has been a problem, and France has been a problem." (41)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Rather than backtracking on what was a diplomatic bombshell, the Bush administration has instead continued to go to extraordinary lengths to isolate the German and French positions on Iraq. For example, the administration encouraged the leaders of Spain, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic, to write a letter to the Wall Street Journal on January 30 that said ``the Iraqi regime and its weapons of mass destruction represent a clear threat to world security.'' (42) Rather than merely an intense diplomatic debate over different policy positions on Iraq, the striking language and positions taken in this debate suggests a more fundamental conflict over issues hidden from the public view. It is likely that there exists a factional struggle between clandestine government organizations set up to deal with the ET presence in the US, with rival organizations created in Germany, France and also Russia.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The third piece of circumstantial evidence is the resumption of excavations of the first capital of Sumer, Uruk, by a German archeological team in 2002. Given the prominence of Uruk and its likelihood as the site for a Sumerian Stargate, then resumption of excavations raises questions over why they were resumed at this time and what is being sought. Given that political tensions in Iraq had not significantly diminished in 2002 with it being a likely source of future military conflict with the US, it can be suggested that there are powerful hidden motivations for what on the surface appears to be a purely scientific dig of an ancient Sumerian capital.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The fourth piece of circumstantial evidence was the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia during its final descent on February 1, 2003, at an approximate height of 38 miles and travelling at Mach 18. One of the astronauts was the first Israeli in Space, Colonel IIan Ramon from the Israeli Airforce. Col Ramon reportedly played a role in the Israeli attack on Iraq's nuclear facility in Osirak in June 1981, and there has been speculation that his mission involved intelligence gathering over Iraq during the Shuttle's orbits. The destruction of Columbia occurred 16 minutes before touch down when its fuel tanks would have been virtually empty. A likely source of the Shuttle's destruction, given the speed and height of the Columbia, would have been some form of attack from an organization or state possessing military capabilities well beyond any terrorist groups and indeed most nations. The likely cause would have been a clandestine government organization that desired to send an important message to its US rivals over the threatened preemptive attack on Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    When all the primary and circumstantial evidence is put together, what emerges is a very plausible case that supports Henry's thesis of a power struggle that goes to the heart of the ET presence and the continued clandestine suppression of ET related information and its full implications. The interpretations of the motivations of the Bush administration in launching preemptive war on Iraq in terms of the concerns raised in Bush's 2003 State of the Union address, or the corporate and imperial interests suggested by his critics such as Robert Fisk and Michael Lind, can all be described as part of the surface layer of motivations driving the Bush administration. At a deeper level, it is likely that there is great anxiety by clandestine government organizations in terms of what would happen if Hussein, with the support of the German and other European governments, gained access to the Sumerian Stargate or other ET technology buried in Uruk, or if the Stargate were to somehow reactivate without clandestine government personnel present to monitor and control the Stargate. President Bush's State of the Union address outlining the need for a preemptive attack on Iraq, in most likelihood masks a hidden agenda to gain access to the Stargate or other ET technology in Uruk and elsewhere in Iraq. Such access would presumably perpetuate clandestine government control over global resources and information at a time of increased ET activity and influence.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Conclusion: Policy Implications and Recommendations
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    If the exopolitical perspective is a more accurate description of the motivations driving the Bush administration in pushing for a preemptive war on Iraq, then the following policy recommendations can be made. (43) First, the quality of evidence substantiating an historic ET presence and clandestine government cover up has a significant degree of credibility and persuasiveness. This supports the creation a new field of public policy, exopolitics, which would study the historic ET presence in terms of its implications for contemporary public policy.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Second, there is a need to promote official government disclosure of the historic ET presence and/or the impending return of these ETs; and to make more representative the policy making process that has evolved in government responses to such information.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Third, evidence suggests that the present military preparations for a war against Iraq have little to do with weapons of mass destruction, but are designed to perpetuate US clandestine government control of information concerning the historic and present ET presence. Such a preemptive war should therefore be stopped and a resolution between the US, Iraq and interested European governments should be encouraged.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    Fourth, evidence suggests that the Iraq conflict and the destruction of the Columbia Space Shuttle mask a deep factional struggle between clandestine government organizations associated with different national governments that were initially created to deal with the ET presence. It is recommended that there is public disclosure of these organizations and their efforts in monitoring and responding to the ET presence, and that these organizations become accountable to elected public officials.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    The final policy recommendation is that there needs to be more effort in determining the extent to which congressional and legislative oversight is required for organizations created in different countries to deal with all aspects of the ET presence, both past and present, and on the implications of a projected return of a race of ETs associated with the birth of human civilization.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    This paper suggests that the best mechanism for responding to the existence of ancient ET technology in the ancient Sumerian capital of Uruk and/or elsewhere, is a willingness by major world governments and associated clandestine organizations to share information and control over these ET assets. A preemptive war conducted largely for the control of a 'Stargate' in Uruk which pits the US and its allies, against an Iraq which is tacitly supported by key European nations, could be calamitous if indeed the 'prophesied return' signified an actual physical event involving the ancient ET race that played a role in the start of human civilization. Competing clandestine government organizations struggling through a proxy war over the control of ancient ET technology in order to prepare for those events corresponding to the 'prophesied return of the gods', would hardly send the best example of a mature humanity responsible enough to continue to exercise sovereignty over the Earth's resources. The Columbia Space Shuttle may well have been a high profile victim of such a proxy war intended to send a message to US based clandestine organizations over the preemptive war against Iraq. .Human sovereignty may therefore be at stake at the very time where there exists an opportunity for a rapid movement forward in the evolutionary growth of human consciousness. It is up to all humanity to decide how we respond to the challenge posed by clandestine organizations struggling over Iraq's historic resources to further their respective secret agendas.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thirty years ago, the city of Shenzhen didn't 
&lt;br/&gt;exist. Back in those days, it was a string of 
&lt;br/&gt;small fishing villages and collectively run rice 
&lt;br/&gt;paddies, a place of rutted dirt roads and 
&lt;br/&gt;traditional temples. That was before the 
&lt;br/&gt;Communist Party chose it  thanks to its location 
&lt;br/&gt;close to Hong Kong's port  to be China's first 
&lt;br/&gt;"special economic zone," one of only four areas 
&lt;br/&gt;where capitalism would be permitted on a trial 
&lt;br/&gt;basis. The theory behind the experiment was that 
&lt;br/&gt;the "real" China would keep its socialist soul 
&lt;br/&gt;intact while profiting from the private-sector 
&lt;br/&gt;jobs and industrial development created in 
&lt;br/&gt;Shenzhen. The result was a city of pure commerce, 
&lt;br/&gt;undiluted by history or rooted culture  the crack 
&lt;br/&gt;cocaine of capitalism. It was a force so 
&lt;br/&gt;addictive to investors that the Shenzhen 
&lt;br/&gt;experiment quickly expanded, swallowing not just 
&lt;br/&gt;the surrounding Pearl River Delta, which now 
&lt;br/&gt;houses roughly 100,000 factories, but much of the 
&lt;br/&gt;rest of the country as well. Today, Shenzhen is a 
&lt;br/&gt;city of 12.4 million people, and there is a good 
&lt;br/&gt;chance that at least half of everything you own 
&lt;br/&gt;was made here: iPods, laptops, sneakers, 
&lt;br/&gt;flatscreen TVs, cellphones, jeans, maybe your 
&lt;br/&gt;desk chair, possibly your car and almost 
&lt;br/&gt;certainly your printer. Hundreds of luxury 
&lt;br/&gt;condominiums tower over the city; many are more 
&lt;br/&gt;than 40 stories high, topped with three-story 
&lt;br/&gt;penthouses. Newer neighborhoods like Keji Yuan 
&lt;br/&gt;are packed with ostentatiously modern corporate 
&lt;br/&gt;campuses and decadent shopping malls. Rem 
&lt;br/&gt;Koolhaas, Prada's favorite architect, is building 
&lt;br/&gt;a stock exchange in Shenzhen that looks like it 
&lt;br/&gt;floats  a design intended, he says, to "suggest 
&lt;br/&gt;and illustrate the process of the market." A 
&lt;br/&gt;still-under-construction superlight subway will 
&lt;br/&gt;soon connect it all at high speed; every car has 
&lt;br/&gt;multiple TV screens broadcasting over a Wi-Fi 
&lt;br/&gt;network. At night, the entire city lights up like 
&lt;br/&gt;a pimped-out Hummer, with each five-star hotel 
&lt;br/&gt;and office tower competing over who can put on the best light show.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many of the big American players have set up shop 
&lt;br/&gt;in Shenzhen, but they look singularly 
&lt;br/&gt;unimpressive next to their Chinese competitors. 
&lt;br/&gt;The research complex for China's telecom giant 
&lt;br/&gt;Huawei, for instance, is so large that it has its 
&lt;br/&gt;own highway exit, while its workers ride home on 
&lt;br/&gt;their own bus line. Pressed up against Shenzhen's 
&lt;br/&gt;disco shopping centers, Wal-Mart superstores  of 
&lt;br/&gt;which there are nine in the city  look like 
&lt;br/&gt;dreary corner stores. (China almost seems to be 
&lt;br/&gt;mocking us: "You call that a superstore?") 
&lt;br/&gt;McDonald's and KFC appear every few blocks, but 
&lt;br/&gt;they seem almost retro next to the Real Kung Fu 
&lt;br/&gt;fast-food chain, whose mascot is a stylized Bruce Lee.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;American commentators like CNN's Jack Cafferty 
&lt;br/&gt;dismiss the Chinese as "the same bunch of goons 
&lt;br/&gt;and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." 
&lt;br/&gt;But nobody told the people of Shenzhen, who are 
&lt;br/&gt;busily putting on a 24-hour-a-day show called 
&lt;br/&gt;"America"  a pirated version of the original, 
&lt;br/&gt;only with flashier design, higher profits and 
&lt;br/&gt;less complaining. This has not happened by 
&lt;br/&gt;accident. China today, epitomized by Shenzhen's 
&lt;br/&gt;transition from mud to megacity in 30 years, 
&lt;br/&gt;represents a new way to organize society. 
&lt;br/&gt;Sometimes called "market Stalinism," it is a 
&lt;br/&gt;potent hybrid of the most powerful political 
&lt;br/&gt;tools of authoritarian communism  central 
&lt;br/&gt;planning, merciless repression, constant 
&lt;br/&gt;surveillance  harnessed to advance the goals of global capitalism.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, as China prepares to showcase its economic 
&lt;br/&gt;advances during the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, 
&lt;br/&gt;Shenzhen is once again serving as a laboratory, a 
&lt;br/&gt;testing ground for the next phase of this vast 
&lt;br/&gt;social experiment. Over the past two years, some 
&lt;br/&gt;200,000 surveillance cameras have been installed 
&lt;br/&gt;throughout the city. Many are in public spaces, 
&lt;br/&gt;disguised as lampposts. The closed-circuit TV 
&lt;br/&gt;cameras will soon be connected to a single, 
&lt;br/&gt;nationwide network, an all-seeing system that 
&lt;br/&gt;will be capable of tracking and identifying 
&lt;br/&gt;anyone who comes within its range  a project 
&lt;br/&gt;driven in part by U.S. technology and investment. 
&lt;br/&gt;Over the next three years, Chinese security 
&lt;br/&gt;executives predict they will install as many as 2 
&lt;br/&gt;million CCTVs in Shenzhen, which would make it 
&lt;br/&gt;the most watched city in the world. 
&lt;br/&gt;(Security-crazy London boasts only half a million surveillance cameras.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The security cameras are just one part of a much 
&lt;br/&gt;broader high-tech surveillance and censorship 
&lt;br/&gt;program known in China as "Golden Shield." The 
&lt;br/&gt;end goal is to use the latest people-tracking 
&lt;br/&gt;technology  thoughtfully supplied by American 
&lt;br/&gt;giants like IBM, Honeywell and General 
&lt;br/&gt;Electric  to create an airtight consumer cocoon: 
&lt;br/&gt;a place where Visa cards, Adidas sneakers, China 
&lt;br/&gt;Mobile cellphones, McDonald's Happy Meals, 
&lt;br/&gt;Tsingtao beer and UPS delivery (to name just a 
&lt;br/&gt;few of the official sponsors of the Beijing 
&lt;br/&gt;Olympics) can be enjoyed under the unblinking eye 
&lt;br/&gt;of the state, without the threat of democracy 
&lt;br/&gt;breaking out. With political unrest on the rise 
&lt;br/&gt;across China, the government hopes to use the 
&lt;br/&gt;surveillance shield to identify and counteract 
&lt;br/&gt;dissent before it explodes into a mass movement 
&lt;br/&gt;like the one that grabbed the world's attention at Tiananmen Square.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Remember how we've always been told that free 
&lt;br/&gt;markets and free people go hand in hand? That was 
&lt;br/&gt;a lie. It turns out that the most efficient 
&lt;br/&gt;delivery system for capitalism is actually a 
&lt;br/&gt;communist-style police state, fortressed with 
&lt;br/&gt;American "homeland security" technologies, pumped 
&lt;br/&gt;up with "war on terror" rhetoric. And the global 
&lt;br/&gt;corporations currently earning superprofits from 
&lt;br/&gt;this social experiment are unlikely to be content 
&lt;br/&gt;if the lucrative new market remains confined to 
&lt;br/&gt;cities such as Shenzhen. Like everything else 
&lt;br/&gt;assembled in China with American parts, Police 
&lt;br/&gt;State 2.0 is ready for export to a neighborhood near you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zhang Yi points to an empty bracket on the 
&lt;br/&gt;dashboard of his black Honda. "It used to hold my 
&lt;br/&gt;GPS, but I leave it at home now," he says. "It's 
&lt;br/&gt;the crime  they are too easy to steal." He 
&lt;br/&gt;quickly adds, "Since the surveillance cameras 
&lt;br/&gt;came in, we have seen a very dramatic decrease in crime in Shenzhen."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;After driving for an hour past hundreds of 
&lt;br/&gt;factory gates and industrial parks, we pull up to 
&lt;br/&gt;a salmon-color building that Zhang partly owns. 
&lt;br/&gt;This is the headquarters of FSAN: CCTV System. 
&lt;br/&gt;Zhang, a prototypical Shenzhen yuppie in a 
&lt;br/&gt;royal-blue button-down shirt and black-rimmed 
&lt;br/&gt;glasses, apologizes for the mess. Inside, every 
&lt;br/&gt;inch of space is lined with cardboard boxes 
&lt;br/&gt;filled with electronics parts and finished products.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zhang opened the factory two and a half years 
&lt;br/&gt;ago, and his investment has already paid off 
&lt;br/&gt;tenfold. That kind of growth isn't unusual in the 
&lt;br/&gt;field he has chosen: Zhang's factory makes 
&lt;br/&gt;digital surveillance cameras, turning out 400,000 
&lt;br/&gt;a year. Half of the cameras are shipped overseas, 
&lt;br/&gt;destined to peer from building ledges in London, 
&lt;br/&gt;Manhattan and Dubai as part of the global boom in 
&lt;br/&gt;"homeland security." The other half stays in 
&lt;br/&gt;China, many right here in Shenzhen and in 
&lt;br/&gt;neighboring Guangzhou, another megacity of 12 
&lt;br/&gt;million people. China's market for surveillance 
&lt;br/&gt;cameras enjoyed revenues of $4.1 billion last 
&lt;br/&gt;year, a jump of 24 percent from 2006.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zhang escorts me to the assembly line, where rows 
&lt;br/&gt;of young workers, most of them women, are bent 
&lt;br/&gt;over semiconductors, circuit boards, tiny cables 
&lt;br/&gt;and bulbs. At the end of each line is "quality 
&lt;br/&gt;control," which consists of plugging the camera 
&lt;br/&gt;into a monitor and making sure that it records. 
&lt;br/&gt;We enter a showroom where Zhang and his 
&lt;br/&gt;colleagues meet with clients. The walls are lined 
&lt;br/&gt;with dozens of camera models: domes of all sizes, 
&lt;br/&gt;specializing in day and night, wet and dry, 
&lt;br/&gt;camouflaged to look like lights, camouflaged to 
&lt;br/&gt;look like smoke detectors, explosion-proof, the 
&lt;br/&gt;size of a soccer ball, the size of a ring box.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The workers at FSAN don't just make surveillance 
&lt;br/&gt;cameras; they are constantly watched by them. 
&lt;br/&gt;While they work, the silent eyes of rotating 
&lt;br/&gt;lenses capture their every move. When they leave 
&lt;br/&gt;work and board buses, they are filmed again. When 
&lt;br/&gt;they walk to their dormitories, the streets are 
&lt;br/&gt;lined with what look like newly installed 
&lt;br/&gt;streetlamps, their white poles curving toward the 
&lt;br/&gt;sidewalk with black domes at the ends. Inside the 
&lt;br/&gt;domes are high-resolution cameras, the same kind 
&lt;br/&gt;the workers produce at FSAN. Some blocks have 
&lt;br/&gt;three or four, one every few yards. One 
&lt;br/&gt;Shenzhen-based company, China Security &amp;amp; 
&lt;br/&gt;Surveillance Technology, has developed software 
&lt;br/&gt;to enable the cameras to alert police when an 
&lt;br/&gt;unusual number of people begin to gather at any given location.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 2006, the Chinese government mandated that all 
&lt;br/&gt;Internet cafes (as well as restaurants and other 
&lt;br/&gt;"entertainment" venues) install video cameras 
&lt;br/&gt;with direct feeds to their local police stations. 
&lt;br/&gt;Part of a wider surveillance project known as 
&lt;br/&gt;"Safe Cities," the effort now encompasses 660 
&lt;br/&gt;municipalities in China. It is the most ambitious 
&lt;br/&gt;new government program in the Pearl River Delta, 
&lt;br/&gt;and supplying it is one of the fastest-growing new markets in Shenzhen.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But the cameras that Zhang manufactures are only 
&lt;br/&gt;part of the massive experiment in population 
&lt;br/&gt;control that is under way here. "The big 
&lt;br/&gt;picture," Zhang tells me in his office at the 
&lt;br/&gt;factory, "is integration." That means linking 
&lt;br/&gt;cameras with other forms of surveillance: the 
&lt;br/&gt;Internet, phones, facial-recognition software and GPS monitoring.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is how this Golden Shield will work: Chinese 
&lt;br/&gt;citizens will be watched around the clock through 
&lt;br/&gt;networked CCTV cameras and remote monitoring of 
&lt;br/&gt;computers. They will be listened to on their 
&lt;br/&gt;phone calls, monitored by digital 
&lt;br/&gt;voice-recognition technologies. Their Internet 
&lt;br/&gt;access will be aggressively limited through the 
&lt;br/&gt;country's notorious system of online controls 
&lt;br/&gt;known as the "Great Firewall." Their movements 
&lt;br/&gt;will be tracked through national ID cards with 
&lt;br/&gt;scannable computer chips and photos that are 
&lt;br/&gt;instantly uploaded to police databases and linked 
&lt;br/&gt;to their holder's personal data. This is the most 
&lt;br/&gt;important element of all: linking all these tools 
&lt;br/&gt;together in a massive, searchable database of 
&lt;br/&gt;names, photos, residency information, work 
&lt;br/&gt;history and biometric data. When Golden Shield is 
&lt;br/&gt;finished, there will be a photo in those 
&lt;br/&gt;databases for every person in China: 1.3 billion faces.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Shenzhen is the place where the shield has 
&lt;br/&gt;received its most extensive fortifications  the 
&lt;br/&gt;place where all the spy toys are being hooked 
&lt;br/&gt;together and tested to see what they can do. "The 
&lt;br/&gt;central government eventually wants to have 
&lt;br/&gt;city-by-city surveillance, so they could just sit 
&lt;br/&gt;and monitor one city and its surveillance system 
&lt;br/&gt;as a whole," Zhang says. "It's all part of that 
&lt;br/&gt;bigger project. Once the tests are done and it's 
&lt;br/&gt;proven, they will be spreading from the big 
&lt;br/&gt;province to the cities, even to the rural farmland."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In fact, the rollout of the high-tech shield is already well under way.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When the Tibetan capital of Lhasa was set alight 
&lt;br/&gt;in March, the world caught a glimpse of the rage 
&lt;br/&gt;that lies just under the surface in many parts of 
&lt;br/&gt;China. And though the Lhasa riots stood out for 
&lt;br/&gt;their ethnic focus and their intensity, protests 
&lt;br/&gt;across China are often shockingly militant. In 
&lt;br/&gt;July 2006, workers at a factory near Shenzhen 
&lt;br/&gt;expressed their displeasure over paltry pay by 
&lt;br/&gt;overturning cars, smashing computers and opening 
&lt;br/&gt;fire hydrants. In March of last year, when bus 
&lt;br/&gt;fares went up in the rural town of Zhushan, 
&lt;br/&gt;20,000 people took to the streets and five police 
&lt;br/&gt;vehicles were torched. Indeed, China has seen 
&lt;br/&gt;levels of political unrest in recent years 
&lt;br/&gt;unknown since 1989, the year student protests 
&lt;br/&gt;were crushed with tanks in Tiananmen Square. In 
&lt;br/&gt;2005, by the government's own measure, there were 
&lt;br/&gt;at least 87,000 "mass incidents"  governmentspeak 
&lt;br/&gt;for large-scale protests or riots.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This increased unrest  a process aided by access 
&lt;br/&gt;to cellphones and the Internet  represents more 
&lt;br/&gt;than a security problem for the leaders in 
&lt;br/&gt;Beijing. It threatens their whole model of 
&lt;br/&gt;command-and-control capitalism. China's rapid 
&lt;br/&gt;economic growth
