      <title>Think Bush is Bad!  McCain Would Be Worse!  See #2 Specifically</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/fascismwatch/thread/543f396a-caca-47ef-a005-b28c6bf82311</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;For all the coverage this week of Senator John McCain's background, there are some important things you won't learn about him from the TV networks. His carefully crafted positive image relies on people not knowing this stuff—and you might be surprised by some of it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please check out the list below, and then forward it to your friends, family, and coworkers. We can't rely on the media to tell folks about the real John McCain—but if we all pass this along, we can reach as many people as CNN Headline News does on a good night.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;John McCain is not who the Washington press corps make him out to be. Please help get the word out—forward this email to your personal network. And if you want us to keep you posted ..On's work to get the truth out about John McCain, sign up here:

      <title>Network Solutions Fascist Terms of Service</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/fascismwatch/thread/acc65bf8-dcc7-4f81-89ae-776f84e491d3</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Copied from http://sharpshooters.blogspot.com/2008/03/anti-koran-films-website-shut-down.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It says everyting I had to say about this topic, for starters at least.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;lt;Begin Paste&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;God (or Allah) forbid we offend Muslims in any way, shape, or form!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- The Web site where Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders was promoting his not-yet-released anti-Koran film has been suspended by its U.S. hosting service.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So much for freedom of speech in America. I'll bet if it was an anti-Catholic film, hosts would be tripping over themselves to promote it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Demonstrators in Amsterdam during an anti-racism protest aimed at far right MP Geert Wilders on Saturday.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oh, I get it. Far too many Muslims want to see Israel wiped off the map, but when someone offers a less-than-favorable opinion of their religion, they cry racism?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The site formerly showed the film's title, "Fitna" -- "Coming Soon" -- and an image of a gilded Koran. Now it shows a note that the company -- Network Solutions -- is investigating whether the site violates its terms of service.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Network Solutions has received a number of complaints regarding this site that are under investigation," the note said.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oh, then by all means, cater to a handful of idiots who are offended by a film they have only heard about. This is akin to the jackass in California who wants "under God" stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance because he is offended. Idiots! Is Network Solutions hosting the website for Paris Hilton's next film? If so, I am going to start complaining now!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While the exact contents of the 15-minute movie, due to be released by March 31, are unknown, Wilders has said it will underscore his view that Islam's holy book is "fascist."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So Network Solutions shut down the website without actually seeing the film? Are you frakkin' kidding me?!!! Forget the Koran - Network Solutions is fascist!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dutch officials fear the movie could spark violent protests in Muslim countries, similar to those two years ago after the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yeah, I remember that. I believe the American MSM stated that it was "unknown youths" who were starting the riots. Allah forbid we identify the scumbags who are actually participating in the destruction!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wilders has said he will release his movie on the Internet after television stations refused to air it. (H/T - CNN)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Good for him. I hope he doesn't back down from these toads. This politically-correct b.s. is getting out of hand.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;lt;End Paste&gt;&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Once again the fascist who wish to control are shooting themselves in the foot.  The pulling of the plug on this website will give it so much more publicity than it ever had, or is that the purpose of this action.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I drew a political cartoon after the whole Dutch cartoon thing erupted a couple years ago.  It was charactures of Mohamed and Uncle Sam in a quaint pose.  Uncle sam was behind a sweating and distressed Mohamed with Uncle Sam smiling and ramming a patriot missle up Mohamed's bleeding ass.  I only drew it and showed it to a couple friends to ask them what they thought would happen if somebody really tried to make a statement that the US was screwing the Arab world with America's illegal wars of aggression and blind support of Israel.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I guess I could scan it and put it up here in tribe for comment.  Certainly Network Solutions would not shut Tribe.net down, they would more likely contact them and have it or my account removed hopefully prior to some Ayatolla giving me a death sentance.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What do ya think people, should I dig it out of my stack of retired notebooks and scan and post it or not? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Regards&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateur, French for "inciting agent") is a person employed by the police or other law enforcement body to act undercover and entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act. More generally, the term may refer to person or group who provokes another to perform a wrong or rash action, the deliberate purpose being to incite wider conflict or harm.&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/fascismwatch/thread/da09c844-8ada-4835-a882-a574599017d4</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;**************************************************
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Greetings to all my relations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is the last step of our project History Watch. If History is
&lt;br/&gt;defined and known by the texts, we can now add to this definition the
&lt;br/&gt;recorded events of the filmed archives. Animated images are harder to
&lt;br/&gt;deny than printed words. Our objective is to spread out freely some of
&lt;br/&gt;the little broadcast, even hidden informations about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We put online a collection of 391 documentaries and other selected and
&lt;br/&gt;recut videos, to offer to a wide public the best of the infos
&lt;br/&gt;available on the net in english and in french. If you are interested,
&lt;br/&gt;you have the time, the right equipment and connection, all you have to
&lt;br/&gt;do is open the joint document and decompress it if needed (but normaly
&lt;br/&gt;your system should do it automaticaly). You'll find therein nine links
&lt;br/&gt;that will open the torrents for the nine DVDs we compiled (around 4.6
&lt;br/&gt;Gig each, for a total of a little over 41 G, being over 100 hours of
&lt;br/&gt;videos).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Otherwise, you can go directly to btjunkie.com and search for these titles.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Secret weapons - UFO
&lt;br/&gt;Terrorism Theories propaganda
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Torrents are a system of peer to peer data transfer. The more people
&lt;br/&gt;download a torrent, the faster it spreads and the longer it stays on
&lt;br/&gt;the net. If you don't have a bittorrent software, we suggest that you
&lt;br/&gt;download uTorrent on utorrent.com. If you want to participate in
&lt;br/&gt;facilitating the diffusion of these infos about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History, download these torrents on as many computers as possible,
&lt;br/&gt;whether it is in cybercafes. It takes one or two minutes to open up
&lt;br/&gt;the links and the downloading will keep proceeding on its own.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please spread this out, take part in this action for social education
&lt;br/&gt;on a planetary scale. Thanks.

      <title>PRESS STATEMENT: Revised 12.06.2007, Black File 7001, Freelance Journalist inside the Federal Witness Protection Program as a Non-Criminal Federal Witness.</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;PRESS STATEMENT: Revised 12.06.2007, Black File 7001, Freelance Journalist inside the Federal Witness Protection Program as a Non-Criminal Federal Witness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Freelance Journalist inside the Federal Witness Protection Program as a Non-Criminal Federal Witness.  “Black File 7001” is a work of investigative journalism that initially began in 1994.  Early in 1999, I completed a covert assignment with the FBI lasting five years after having been previously requested to stand-down from a fulltime university curriculum with an inactive law enforcement background for possibly twelve months.  Immediately thereafter I entered the Federal Witness Protection Program (WitSec) and ever since have continued to experience the U.S. government’s use of psychological torture practices and political retribution by the named agents and agencies of the U.S. government under the Bush-Cheney administration.  Multiple actionable offenses have been committed under state, federal and international law while the culpable agents and agencies remain shielded from civil and criminal prosecution by the administration’s threat or issuance of national security letters, which prevent legal discovery and subvert the rule of law.  The U.S. government does torture, I am one of its American victims and am requesting a humanitarian intervention before it is too late.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EDITORIAL FOREWORD:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Producing the report titled “Black File 7001” has experienced the threat or issuance of national security letters by the Bush-Cheney administration, a subordinate agent directly under the administration threatening me with the invention of a criminal charge if I publish and the suppression of this story by the same Democratic Congress that falsely promised an end to the money laundering operation in Iraq that remains perpetuated by the insidious genocide of our American military service members and other innocent human beings throughout the world.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As a former lifelong humanitarian member of what use to be the Republican Party until 2000 and a person who also voted for Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, I charge the neoconservatives with having filled the bowels of this Trojan Horse Republican Party with the stench of operating a continuing criminal enterprise under the guise of bringing democracy to the world.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The U.S. government infrastructure has been overthrown and this administration has declared constitutional civil war against the United States of America.  The American people must organize in a lawful and peaceful revolution that mirrors and surpasses the civil rights era.  We must march on Washington, D.C. and picket the corporate offices of the propaganda ministries to force their coverage of your protests and displayed messages.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is critically important that before the next election we must demand Democratic Congressional members to openly support publically funded elections; not for profit universal healthcare; free or affordable higher education for all citizens; the meaningful development alternative fuel sources; the abatement of the conditions causing the honey bee populations from disappearing from around the world (later in the primary story I will invite you to read why noticing the smallest of G-d’s creatures holds the largest messages); and the criminal investigation of the named agents and agencies of the U.S. government under the Bush-Cheney administration regarding the Black File 7001 report.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Career politicians, regardless of political affiliations who fail the muster of the American people should be removed and replaced with genuine representatives before the next voting cycle.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Americans must become the partisans of liberty to reclaim the dream and promise of America and our inalienable rights as human beings.  The jackbooted fascists of today must be prevented from emulating the treason of U.S. Senator Prescott Bush through their perversion of peace for the profits of war.  The American mainstream has already been herded towards the invisible and tangible death camps of democracy.  In those places you will endured conditions far worse than any physical torture where other Americans like me have been left for dead for over thirty years.  These human beings of whom I speak are not criminals or terrorists; they are honorable American citizens who answered their country’s call to duty for special covert government service only to become a disposable population and the hidden dirty secret of the U.S. government.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since 1970, one thousand and eighty (1,080) American citizens have existed as something cousin to death camp victims from the destructive effects of the Federal Witness Protection Program.  These non-criminal federal witnesses and American veterans of voluntary covert government service became the unknowing test subjects in a clandestine torture experiment that exists as the precursor model for converting a freethinking U.S. civilian population into a self-consuming enslaved society.  Within the death camp known as “WitSec” these human beings are subjected to the insidious methods of psychological torture that systematically erode the individual sense of self-identity until the will to live has been lost.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ABOUT ME: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My WitSec No. is 7001, I am a husband, father, writer, and freelance journalist who remained inside the Federal Witness Protection Program as a Non-Criminal Federal Witness and am now ready to surface under guarded conditions with the firsthand story of how a minority group of honorable American citizens are being psychologically tortured and politically persecuted by the U.S. government.  Immediately I am seeking the support of the American public and progressive news media; the representation of a listed creative agent; contract negotiations with book publishers and the motion picture industry; a university initiative with an accredited school of journalism to include lecturing options and the sanitized conversion of my college records; and communication platforms with Ms. Oprah Winfrey and Mr. George Clooney via the Smoke House Studio.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By comparison to the physical injuries that I have endured from trauma and other accidents, the lasting effects of psychological torture are far worse.  This form of torture is sourced from the fascist mindset of the named agents and agencies of the U.S. government under the Bush-Cheney administration through their commissions of actionable offenses and political retributions.  As a veteran of voluntary covert government service who operated undercover for five years while contracted by the FBI as an agent of the federal government, I state unequivocally and categorically that the U.S. government does torture human beings.  As an American citizen and non-criminal federal witness let the record show that I am declaring myself as a torture victim of the U.S. government.  With my soul dying and the body giving signs that it wants to follow I offer that no truer words have ever been written than “give me liberty or give me death” or that “the worse death is a life without hope.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Having previously been blessed with an out of body experience during trauma that was caused by the U.S. government and prior to my recovery in advance of relearning how to walk, I am not frightened by a natural death.  The experience of dying for me confirmed the Socratic belief that the human soul is made of two parts with one half being a physical finite and the other a non-physical infinite.  Life as seen from the eyes of the body is an illusion or one half of a duality.  It was possible to see from two separate and paralleling perspectives at the same time.  The physical world appeared normal while my body felt the tremendous force of being pulled into the earth.  Initially from within the spiritual realm there was no ugliness, no beauty, no gender, and only muted colors with humanoid forms.  Before I lost the sight of my physical body, the last human emotion that I felt was an all encompassing global pity that literally enveloped the earth with my living sentient energy.  Soon I was sitting in space and the beauty of the earth returned with the comforting tenderness of a loving mother and at my back was the warmth of wisdom and strength from a fatherly sun.  A few moments passed and my two halves were made whole again to continue the journey that brought me to this place of inhuman suffering.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In self-definition I am a Humanitarian-Universal-Infrastructuralist or a person who has spent a lifetime identifying and interrelating the commonalities between myself and all known sentient beings and other components within the universe from which to become more human.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My views of the current U.S. President and Vice President find them culpable for treason, egregious crimes against humanity and international terrorism while wearing a mask of insipid divinity.  Clearly these judicially selected ten cent millionaires are criminal sociopaths who function from a series of learned behaviors used to produce a desired result while being incapable of recognizing any genuine sense of right and wrong.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These individuals and their followers bare the marks that brand their names with the gamatria of the most inhuman and deceptive beings that walk among us on the earth in legion with what some would call the antichrist.  Although I have never considered myself worthy of the blessings, respectfully I believe that throughout my life there have been a number of occasions when my being was touched by the many faces of G-d.  With all of that said, one should never confuse spiritual currency with political capitol since the latter is most often sourced from the abyss of false profits, which brought the genocide over six million Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals in Nazi Germany; the slaughter of tribal nations in America; the turning of human beings against their brothers and sisters throughout history; the selling of children, women and men as slaves; the gang rape and victimization of Arabic women who are then whipped as criminals; and the 911 terrorist attacks used to perpetuate war profiteering and oil piracy for those who drink from a rivers of human blood and suffering.  Considering my temporary acquaintance with death, I believe the purest form of spiritual worship that collectively joins us with the universe is simply the individual act of at least attempting to recognize the human being in all people.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;BLACK FILE 7001:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“Black File 7001” is a work of investigative journalism that began in 1994 as an academic prospectus with the goals of publishing books, producing movies, film documentaries, and developing a lecture syllabus with the thinking who better to teach than a person with skin in the game.  While in a fulltime academic setting and shortly after beginning this protect, I discovered actionable intelligence that was brought forward for case installation at the federal level.  Already possessing an inactive law enforcement background and specialized skill sets where few if any training manuals exist, the FBI requested my voluntary assistance for a projected twelve months.  Five years later I completed the FBI undercover group one investigation having successfully penetrated four organized crime groups while never being afforded one day off for that entire period of time.  Since other federal law enforcement agencies are not equipped to handle long duration personal security operations, I entered the Federal Witness Protection Program (WitSec) as a Non-Criminal Federal Witness in 1999.  Nearly immediately after entering the WitSec the named agents and agencies of the U.S. government under the Bush-Cheney administration unthinkably began outing my active covert status.  Since exiting the WitSec in good standing early in 2001, political retributions by the U.S. government have continued to terrorize me with actionable offenses and the tactics of psychological torture.  These culpable acts additionally serve as a passive sanction for the assassination of an American citizen and a former covert agent of the federal government.  This story is uncharted territory and I am unaware of any other writer/journalist who has actually penetrated this fraudulent clandestine federal program, which shrouds itself beneath an undeserved veil of secrecy that exists in the absence of public scrutiny and meaningful congressional oversight.  The latter might explain why multiple action notices regarding this investigation have gone unanswered by the craven Democratic Congress that I helped elected to office with their false promise of ending the corporatist money laundering operation in Iraq.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Within the next 30 day or by New Year’s Day 2008, I will publish an extensive sanitized report that has been redacted from a much larger work.  Please communicate with me and contact your local election campaign committees to demand that your congressional members take action in this matter. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;American citizens are being used as the unknowing test subjects in a clandestine torture experiment shrouded within the Federal Witness Protection Program (WitSec). Non-Criminal Federal Witnesses (1,080) are a special minority class of American citizens in title only who are being used as a laboratory control sample for the applied tactics of terrorism and psychological torture (psyops) on a U.S. civilian population by the U.S. government.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Writing remains one of my two fragile anchors holding me to this world and a federal agent (L.H.M.) directly under the Bush-Cheney administration has telephonically communicated “you have a lot of people in high places afraid to death that you are going to destroy their programs…and if you publish a book, the government will invent a criminal charge against you.”  After refusing not to publish with an invitation to that federal agent’s handlers to “go pound salt up their asses”, a series of actionable offenses were committed against me in political retribution under state, federal and international law.  These same entities on several occasions have outed my classified status that with each culpable act, serves to intensify what has become a standing passive sanction for the assassination of an American citizen and former covert agent of the federal government.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As a physically disabled person from two trauma accidents caused by the federal government or incurred in the line of duty during covert government service, I applied for Social Security Disability Benefits (SSDB) through the required classified channels.  This process required that I utilize my second WitSec Inspector (A.S.) and the Social Security Administration’s Sensitive Operations Division (SOD) that was established for persons in covert-ops, the CIA and the U.S. State Department working oversees.  The Social Security Disability Benefits were authorized, but following my refusal not to publish the WitSec and SSA’s SOD conspired to punitively withdraw my SSDB.  This occurred prior to beginning treatments for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer in 2004.  The government’s own federal court judge who heard the SSA case issued several letters of complaint to the Sensitive Operations Division, charging that office had provided the court with erroneous information and that the SOD’s delay in responding was contemptuous to the point of preventing a fair hearing.  Two months past while the SOD and WitSec crafted their evidence and my SSDB’s claim entered the appeals stage.  During the initial SSDB process, repeated telephonic conversations had been made with and between the WitSec and the SOD to insure that the production of the SSA documents would not out my covert status.  After multiple assurances that complete security would be maintained, the WitSec and SOD deliberately or at the least through total gross incompetence filed documents that outed my covert status by commingling my identities in violation of several federal laws and a federal court seal.  After the matter was sent to the SSA Hearing and Appeals Board where it remained for two years that federal agency notified my private attorney they had lost my classified government file in violation of the same laws allegedly protecting my covert status.  A copy was returned by my attorney and two weeks later my benefits were denied again.  The SSDB matter is pending on civil appeal to the federal court where I am certain it will be again denied by the government’s crafting of the evidence.  Lastly the WitSec and SOD conspired to deconstruct my only viable work history by purging a covert front business located in Texas from the regular SSA computer system and additionally failed under contract to sanitize and convert my previous Social Security records into my new Jewish name.  Allegedly I had been employed by that Texas front business for over a decade as a construction estimator that for all I knew might have found Dick Cheney answering the telephones on an earlier occasion.  Following the WitSec and SOD’s punitive acts of political retribution, during two subsequent visits to the local SSA office the computer screen was so void of information that the office staffers contacted their supervisors to report they believed their computer system had been penetrated by hackers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Prior to 911 and before the USDOJ had been prostituted by this corrupt administration, I was able to assist in the covert criminal prosecution of my first U.S. Deputy Marshal/WitSec Inspector (J.D.) for his theft of government funds.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;After 911 and following my refusal not to publish under threat of the invention of a criminal charge by the U.S. government that same former WitSec Inspector/federal felon was released from prison and allowed to stalk me.  While near death from chemotherapy and radiation treatments for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer that same federal felon physically accosted me by the arm inside of a warehouse superstore.  Thirty-six security notices went unanswered by the U.S. Marshals Service’s Federal Witness Security Program Headquarters.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The second WitSec Inspector (A.S.) eventually came to my home with a regular deputy marshal who did not have a WitSec security clearance, which further outed my covert status and sarcastically laughed that he had forgotten to tell me that the WitSec Headquarters’ mailing address had been changed after 911 and that under the new U.S. Patriot Act my only means of communicating with headquarters was directly through him.  That WitSec Inspector continued to smile while stating that my classified information and security notices had been circulated by several staffers without WitSec clearances before it got to where I thought it was being sent.  When asked about the other Deputy Marshal’s security clearance, the WitSec Inspector stated “owe I use non-WitSec personnel all the time to handle WitSec matters.”  This same WitSec Inspector has committed multiple actionable offences and has outed my covert status numerous times while creating a growing mortal threat environment around my geographic location.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many of the public self-aggrandizing claims and testimonials given before the U.S. Congress and published by the Federal Witness Protection Program will soon be debunked within my Black File 7001 report.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Following the WitSec and SOD’s removal of my work history with their deletion of the covert front business from the SSA computer system and even though I am a very capable and multitalented individual with strong skill sets, given this act and the government’s failure to perform under written contracts, I have been unable to find employment after submitting over 3000 job applications.  However by comparison and in direct contrast to my own personal situation, the first WitSec Inspector (J.D.) after his release from federal prison for the theft of several thousand dollars in U.S. government funds is now gainfully employed and processing the private financial records of American citizens as a mortgage loan officer.  Under this administration criminals and traitors are rewarded and the good servants of the American people become part of a disposable population.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Out of 18,000 federal witnesses, 16,920 are criminal and custodial federal witnesses and 1,080 of that total number are “non-criminal federal witnesses.”  The six percent who are non-criminal federal witnesses are comprised of honorable American citizens from every cultural identity within our society.  These same veterans of voluntary covert government service took that extra step above and beyond the call of duty to participate in our system while defending our constitutional democracy and the American people.  Within that minority of six percent I am an even smaller number of non-criminal federal witnesses who entered covert government service with an inactive law enforcement background and specialized skill sets of a nature that possess few if any training manuals.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The ACLU of which I am a member has tried to bring four previous cases involving non-criminal federal witnesses through the Washington, D.C. office.  With each lawsuit brought by the ACLU, the Bush-Cheney administration has issued national security letters to prevent the legal discovery of evidence and thus subverted the rule of law.  However, in my possession is the actual physical evidence that includes but is not limited to federal court documents proving the outing of my covert status; the federal court documents of the first WitSec Inspector (J.D.); lawfully produced audiotape recordings of WitSec personnel and others; and the proof of warrantless wiretapping, data mining, the electronic theft of intellectual property; et al.  One should remember General Douglas MacArthur’s island hopping campaign during WWII.  As that relates to this matter, I am bypassing a slugfest with Goliath that would only serve to hold me in stasis with my foot in the courtroom door.  Instead I invite all freethinking human beings to a Greek debate in the court of public opinion.  Criticism and contemplation are necessary to keep a flourishing democracy alive.  Let the U.S. government bring forth its best criminal cowards to stand on the square with me in open examination before the American people and the world. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE TREASON OF CONDOLEEZZA RICE:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is also my intention to challenge the blatant lies told before the U.S. Congress by Condoleezza Rice regarding the administration’s knowledge of events prior to 911 – the FBI and CIA did have operational joint counterterrorism taskforce offices since the mid 90s.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“A litany of lies about 911, Iraq and now Iran – There is one point that I am compelled to insert within this document beyond the scope of its primary focus and here seems as good a place as anywhere.  A covert FBI Special Agent and former teammate in charge of two special operations groups who worked in the field with me and whom I supported in the hunt for Eric Robert Rudolph also known as the Olympic Park Bomber, revealed during the mid 90s that both the FBI and CIA had established joint counterterrorism taskforce offices to exchange foreign and domestic intelligence.  This fact directly contradicts Condoleezza Rice’s testimony before congress regarding the August 6, 2001 PDB Briefing Report titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”, during which Rice stated that a fractionalization existed between federal agencies, which prevented intelligence information from being communicated to the Bush administration.  The most blatant lie came when Rice stated that no joint FBI/CIA taskforce offices existed before or during that time, while alleging joint taskforce offices were being established forthwith.  Further supporting a charge of perjury against Condoleezza Rice and I believe grounds for treason, appears to be former CIA Director, George Tenet’s public testimony regarding actionable intelligence in July 2001 regarding Osama bin Laden’s plan to attack American targets using commercial jetliners.  July 2001 marked the last time that I flew on a commercial aircraft on my way to lecture at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and an occasion when I exchanged passing remarks with former U.S. Senator Gary Hart sitting near me.  The actionable intelligence was clearly suppressed by the Bush-Cheney administration.  In other words, given these facts and the known associations between the 911 Terrorists; the family of Osama bin Laden; the Saudi Arabian Royal family; the United Arab Emirates (poised to purchase 25% of Citibank and 40% of the U.S. and British Stock Markets); and the oil trading partners, personal friends and business associates within the Bush-Cheney syndicate it appears that the United States of America was allowed to be attacked by a foreign enemy to act as a protagonist event for the perpetuation of war profiteering and oil piracy.  Therefore I strongly believe that if the unveiled enemies of the American people were not politically shielded, they would have already been prosecuted for treason, conspiracy, racketeering, money laundering, operating a continuing criminal enterprise, international terrorism, and crimes against humanity.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING IRAN: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Before the 2006 election the U.S. Intelligence agencies already knew that Iran did not have a “secret nuclear weapons program.”  That report was presented to the Bush-Cheney administration and was politically suppressed with instructions given between the lines to craft new evidence.  The facts are that Iran’s nuclear enrichment program has not been able to achieve a greater rate than 3.8% enrichment, which is even a lower percentage than what is required to bring a peaceful nuclear power plant online and far less than the enrichment level needed to produce a nuclear weapon.  The psychology of substituting sexuality for the creation of illegal wars with oil rich sovereign nations, seems the iconic aphrodisiac of this administration when laminating that over sixty-eight elected Republican politicians have been charged and convicted of sexual crimes against children; that George W. Bush, a known cocaine user (sexual stimulant), deserted his post in the Air Nation Guard when they began drug testing; that both Bush and Cheney took multiple deferments from military service during Vietnam so that other Americans could die in their places; that Dick Cheney made use of a Freudian phallic extension in the form of a shotgun to shot his friend in the head during a hunting expedition; that Dick Cheney has a pneumatic penile implant to achieve an erection; and that the nude photograph of George W. Bush in college displays an unremarkable penis.  Add these factors together with the absolute power over the U.S. military and the world will recognize a six headed monster with twelve hearts that numbers 666 and produces the political fodder that destroys the sovereign thought process, creates a toxic society and consumes the collective human soul.  Plainly stated devil cannot exist without followers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;MY REQUEST TO MEDIA, UNIVERSITIES, PUBLISHERS, MOVIE PRODUCERS, AND THE WORLD OF HUMAN BEINGS: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While my reaching out might become the closing scene in a lifelong journey to become more human, knowingly I choose my own death over remaining a torture victim and slave within an uncultivatable existence where self-nurturing and remaining true to one’s own nature is an impossibility.  The Democratic Congressional members that I helped elect have remained silent with the full knowledge of this matter and only a handful of good human beings seem to be listening for the moment.  Already a subordinate federal agent directly under the Bush-Cheney administration has telephonically threatened that if I publish a book the government will invent a criminal charge against me.  This is not the America that I defended and have nourished.  Nevertheless if we are to remain a world of human beings, we the people must publically exam the U.S. government’s ongoing psychological torture of up to 1,080 Non-Criminal Federal Witnesses who are American citizens and your good neighbors.  Currently I have established online locations on YouTube, Tribe.net, Comcast, and have posted on the message board at The Ed Schultz Show website where these American citizens can share their stories with other human beings and possibly begin to reclaim their individual sense of self-identity through these communication platforms.  One non-criminal federal witness has already communicated they are hiding outside the U.S. to protect themselves from U.S. government torture.  Recently I attempted to communicate with a well known actor’s movie studio and was informed that I must have a listed creative agent to represent my story before they will be legally able to communicate with me.  Therefore and in as much that I would dare to hope to restore my own life back to the place where it should have already been, I am seeking the representation of a listed Creative Agent, Business Negotiations with members from the Publishing and Motion Picture Industries, and a University Initiative from an accredited School of Journalism where I might combine all of these components within a flourishing academic setting to create a lecture syllabus and continue writing.  Please do not think me a selfish person, because I have remained one of the most extroverted and giving human beings you could ever know.  This academic and professional prospectus has endured as my long-range plan since beginning this journalism project and is one of the few reasons why I have not ended my own life after experiencing something cousin to an extraordinary rendition to a clandestine blacksite torture facility that exists invisibly within the plain-sight of American society.  Please do not let this story die with me and challenge the validity of any member of the Democratic Congress for their repeated failures to respond to several action notices regarding this matter.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Beyond the above I wish to offer one final piece of personal information.  When I relocated to this area I had no intention of becoming involved with anyone and had anticipated reclaiming my academic standing to achieve my goals in life.  While visiting a local bookstore and coffee house, I met the finest human being whom I have ever known and today that person is my wife.  Together we raised our young child from her previous marriage and I have been blessed by the experience of being a father.  Had it not been for my wife’s medical insurance I would not be here today writing this story.  My wife retires at the end of this year and our child is now attending a university.  What that means for me living on a fixed monthly annuity income and having been waited out by the WitSec while my saving depleted is that I will not be able to afford the additional $600.00 a month for my portion of the medical insurance policy.  Further I have been unable to move in any direction to build the life that I wanted from the resulting harms caused by the WitSec cocoon that I will address in detail within the redacted report that follows.  To protect my family and legally separate myself from my wife in the event of recurring illness, I am preparing to file the divorce papers on my desk.  Never will I forgive or forget that the U.S. government under the Bush-Cheney administration has systematically deconstructed my family and prevented my equality as a person and an American citizen while psychologically torturing me in ways that have already killed other Americans who are non-criminal federal witnesses through suicide and medical neglect.  This deconstruction of my family unit is comparatively symbolic to the overthrow of the U.S. government infrastructure by the international crime consortium and the same coconspiratorial war profiteers who attacked the United States of America on September 11, 2001.  Having lived so long as the shell of an American citizen in title only, if I am unable to be made whole again in America, then as a torture victim and dissident under political persecution I am prepared to request asylum from the government of Canada.  Should that fail and if I cannot be restored then I am ready to leave this world for the peace of oblivion and wish each of you mozel tov.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED BY A GROWING NUMBER OF HUMAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First please do not attempt to send any money I believe that it is possible to earn a living with the years invested in this story and I prefer paying my own way, which has remained the purpose of my labors while enduring U.S. government torture.  Profoundly from a place of extreme isolation your concerns are priceless gifts that have touched me deeper than words could possibly express and I truly feel your human warmth and compassion.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Beyond that human inclusion the most important act of support is not to let this story die from a lack of response or another empty promise by the congress just so this matter will be “disappeared” like the 1,080 American patriots who are non-criminal federal witnesses in the Federal Witness Protection Program.  Please meditate for the good energy of the universe to encompass the lives of all human beings and continue to contact any person or organization who will if nothing else at least feel the truth of this torture story: Democratic Party headquarters around the nation; elected representatives who truly wish to remain in office; U.S. and international human rights organizations; members of the progressive news media (The Ed Schultz Show, Air America Radio, Democracy Now, The Nation Magazine, I.N.N. International News Net, Studs Terkel, the ACLU, Civil Rights Attorneys; etc.); the free and independent sovereign nations of the world (Vancouver BC, Canada, UK, Italy, Spain; etc.); the International Court of Justice aka the World Court and Cour internationale de Justice; and any other conduit of communication that might wish to know, share or actuate this true story.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ms. Oprah Winfrey and Mr. George Clooney are two people whom I admire for their humanitarian and creative contributions to the world.  With their support this story will not be silenced and human lives will be saved.  Please send each of them “one” simple note requesting their support of the “Black File 7001” story and include my website and e-mail addresses.  The movie “Syriana” spoke to me at a very personal level with Bob’s betrayal by the government he served that ultimately resulted in his death.  Oprah Winfrey's all-girl leadership academy in South Africa is only one of the endless humanitarian contributions made to the world by this great human being.  The education system has played a significant part of my life with a trilingual professional educator in my immediate family, a child currently attending a university and my own employment with the FBI in the third year of a fulltime academic curriculum.  The purpose of that covert government service was initiated to prevent national and international organized crime organizations from distributing methamphetamine within the public school systems and throughout the United States of America.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For a time I prevented the false prophets who professed a love of children and humanity from preying on the innocent, but the “war on drugs” like the “war on terrorism” are only political mantras meant to perpetuate and fatten the cash cows of government profiteers.

      <title>Congress has passed a bill severely limiting our rights!! H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of  2007</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.halturner.com 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;WE HAVE BEEN AMBUSHED! 
&lt;br/&gt;VERY QUIETLY AND WITHOUT ANY MEDIA ATTENTION, THE U.S. CONGRESS INTRODUCED THE "VIOLENT RADICALIZATION AND HOMEGROWN TERRORISM ACT" BACK IN APRIL 
&lt;br/&gt;THE BILL WENT QUIETLY THROUGH COMMITTEE - AND WAS PASSED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TODAY! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Bill creates a Commission which will study how to prohibit ". . . . .the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system . . . . .to advance political, religious, or social change.. . . ." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Folks, they are trying to outlaw what people are able to BELIEVE. Outlaw what opinions people are able to utter! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ladies and Gentlemen, this Bill opens the first skirmish in what will become a direct legislative assault upon our most basic right to freedom of THOUGHT and the ability to speak those thoughts! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Under this type of Legislative thinking, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton and the other Founding Fathers, would be jailed!!!! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Congress has just fired the first shot against what we can THINK! The implications of this effort by government are terrifying. Just open your mouth and say the wrong "radical" thing and POW: you're a "homegrown terrorist." A "radical." Or perhaps a word we've all come to know quite well, "militant." We hear about "militants" all the time these days. . . . "U.S. troops killed x number of Iraqi militants today. . . . . ." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By passing this Bill, the federal government of the United States has officially embarked upon tyranny. Absolute despotism. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is time for us to muster our resources and engage in the most fierce poltical battle imaginable. If we don't get together to fight this thing right now; we will be left with no choice but to take up arms or submit to absolute despotism in as little as 18 months! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's the bill, it's an important read:

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill 
&lt;br/&gt;10-25-2007 
&lt;br/&gt;www.roguegovernment.com 
&lt;br/&gt;Lee Rogers 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. www.roguegovernment.com/news.php This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First let’s take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn’t specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government. Considering how much the government has done to destroy the Constitution they could even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief system. Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime. The definition as defined in the bill is shown below. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term ..violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The definition of homegrown terrorism uses equally vague language to further define thought crime. The bill includes the planned use of force or violence as homegrown terrorism which could be interpreted as thinking about using force or violence. Not only that but the definition is so vaguely defined, that petty crimes could even fall into the category of homegrown terrorism. The definition as defined in the bill is shown below. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term ..homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Section 899B of the bill goes over the findings of Congress as it pertains to homegrown terrorism. Particularly alarming is that the bill mentions the Internet as a main source for terrorist propaganda. The bill even mentions streams in obvious reference to many of the patriot and pro-constitution Internet radio networks that have been formed. It also mentions that homegrown terrorists span all ages and races indicating that the Congress is stating that everyone is a potential terrorist. Even worse is that Congress states in their findings that they should look at draconian police states like Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom as models to defeat homegrown terrorists. Literally, these findings of Congress fall right in line with the growing patriot community. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The biggest joke of all is that this section also says that any measure to prevent violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism should not violate the constitutional rights of citizens. However, the definition of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as they are defined in section 899A are themselves unconstitutional. The Constitution does not allow the government to arrest people for thought crimes, so any promises not to violate the constitutional rights of citizens are already broken by their own definitions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..SEC. 899B. FINDINGS. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..The Congress finds the following: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(1) The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be utilized to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(2) The promotion of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence exists in the United States and poses a threat to homeland security. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(4) While the United States must continue its vigilant efforts to combat international terrorism, it must also strengthen efforts to combat the threat posed by homegrown terrorists based and operating within the United States. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(5) Understanding the motivational factors that lead to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence is a vital step toward eradicating these threats in the United States. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(6) The potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists domestically cannot be easily prevented through traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and requires the incorporation of State and local solutions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(7) Individuals prone to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence span all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, and individuals should not be targeted based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(8) Any measure taken to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism in the United States should not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights and civil liberties of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(9) Certain governments, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have significant experience with homegrown terrorism and the United States can benefit from lessons learned by those nations. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Section 899C calls for a commission on the prevention of violent radicalization and ideologically based violence. The commission will consist of ten members appointed by various individuals that hold different positions in government. Essentially, this is a commission that will examine and report on how they are going to deal with violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism. So basically, the commission is being formed specifically on how to deal with thought criminals in the United States. The bill requires that the commission submit their final report 18 months following the commission’s first meeting as well as submit interim reports every 6 months leading up to the final report. Below is the bill’s defined purpose of the commission. Amazingly they even define one of the purposes of the commission to determine the causes of lone wolf violent radicalization. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(b) Purpose- The purposes of the Commission are the following: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(1) Examine and report upon the facts and causes of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States, including United States connections to non-United States persons and networks, violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in prison, individual or ..lone wolf' violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence, and other faces of the phenomena of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence that the Commission considers important. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(2) Build upon and bring together the work of other entities and avoid unnecessary duplication, by reviewing the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of-- 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(A) the Center of Excellence established or designated under section 899D, and other academic work, as appropriate; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(B) Federal, State, local, or tribal studies of, reviews of, and experiences with violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence; and 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(C) foreign government studies of, reviews of, and experiences with violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Section 899D of the bill establishes a Center of Excellence for the Study of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism in the United States. Essentially, this will be a Department of Homeland Security affiliated institution that will study and determine how to defeat thought criminals. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Section 899E of the bill discusses how the government is going to defeat violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism through international cooperation. As stated in the findings section earlier in the legislation, they will unquestionably seek the advice of countries with draconian police states like the United Kingdom to determine how to deal with this growing threat of thought crime. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Possibly the most ridiculous section of the bill is Section 899F which states how they plan on protecting civil rights and civil liberties while preventing ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism. Here is what the section says. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..SEC. 899F. PROTECTING CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES WHILE PREVENTING IDEOLOGICALLY-BASED VIOLENCE AND HOMEGROWN TERRORISM. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(a) In General- The Department of Homeland Security's efforts to prevent ideologically-based violence and homegrown terrorism as described herein shall not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, and civil liberties of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(b) Commitment to Racial Neutrality- The Secretary shall ensure that the activities and operations of the entities created by this subtitle are in compliance with the Department of Homeland Security's commitment to racial neutrality. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;..(c) Auditing Mechanism- The Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Officer of the Department of Homeland Security will develop and implement an auditing mechanism to ensure that compliance with this subtitle does not result in a disproportionate impact, without a rational basis, on any particular race, ethnicity, or religion and include the results of its audit in its annual report to Congress required under section 705.'. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(b) Clerical Amendment- The table of contents in section 1(b) of such Act is amended by inserting at the end of the items relating to title VIII the following: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It states in the first subsection that in general the efforts to defeat thought crime shall not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights and civil liberties of the United States citizens and lawful permanent residents. How does this protect constitutional rights if they use vague language such as in general that prefaces the statement? This means that the Department of Homeland Security does not have to abide by the Constitution in their attempts to prevent so called homegrown terrorism. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This bill is completely insane. It literally allows the government to define any and all crimes including thought crime as violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism. Obviously, this legislation is unconstitutional on a number of levels and it is clear that all 404 representatives who voted in favor of this bill are traitors and should be removed from office immediately. The treason spans both political parties and it shows us all that there is no difference between them. The bill will go on to the Senate and will likely be passed and signed into the law by George W. Bush. Considering that draconian legislation like the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act have already been passed, there seems little question that this one will get passed as well. This is more proof that our country has been completely sold out by a group of traitors at all levels of government. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;A word to the wise:
&lt;br/&gt;All warfare is based on deception. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Here is how it happened on the ground in Germany. Look for patterns of this today.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/511928.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What no one seemed to notice," said a colleague of mine, a philologist, "was the ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and the people. Just think how very wide this gap was to begin with, here in Germany. And it became always wider. You know, it doesn’t make people close to their government to be told that this is a people’s government, a true democracy, or to be enrolled in civilian defense, or even to vote. All this has little, really nothing, to do with knowing one is governing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"You will understand me when I say that my Middle High German was my life. It was all I cared about. I was a scholar, a specialist. Then, suddenly, I was plunged into all the new activity, as the university was drawn into the new situation; meetings, conferences, interviews, ceremonies, and, above all, papers to be filled out, reports, bibliographies, lists, questionnaires. And on top of that were the demands in the community, the things in which one had to, was ‘expected to’ participate that had not been there or had not been important before. It was all rigmarole, of course, but it consumed all one’s energies, coming on top of the work one really wanted to do. You can see how easy it was, then, not to think about fundamental things. One had no time."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Those," I said, "are the words of my friend the baker. ‘One had no time to think. There was so much going on.’"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Your friend the baker was right," said my colleague. "The dictatorship, and the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting. It provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway. I do not speak of your ‘little men,’ your baker and so on; I speak of my colleagues and myself, learned men, mind you. Most of us did not want to think about fundamental things and never had. There was no need to. Nazism gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about—we were decent people—and kept us so busy with continuous changes and ‘crises’ and so fascinated, yes, fascinated, by the machinations of the ‘national enemies,’ without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us. Unconsciously, I suppose, we were grateful. Who wants to think?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"How is this to be avoided, among ordinary men, even highly educated ordinary men? Frankly, I do not know. I do not see, even now. Many, many times since it all happened I have pondered that pair of great maxims, Principiis obsta and Finem respice—‘Resist the beginnings’ and ‘Consider the end.’ But one must foresee the end in order to resist, or even see, the beginnings. One must foresee the end clearly and certainly and how is this to be done, by ordinary men or even by extraordinary men? Things might have. And everyone counts on that might.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Your ‘little men,’ your Nazi friends, were not against National Socialism in principle. Men like me, who were, are the greater offenders, not because we knew better (that would be too much to say) but because we sensed better. Pastor Niemöller spoke for the thousands and thousands of men like me when he spoke (too modestly of himself) and said that, when the Nazis attacked the Communists, he was a little uneasy, but, after all, he was not a Communist, and so he did nothing; and then they attacked the Socialists, and he was a little uneasier, but, still, he was not a Socialist, and he did nothing; and then the schools, the press, the Jews, and so on, and he was always uneasier, but still he did nothing. And then they attacked the Church, and he was a Churchman, and he did something—but then it was too late."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Yes," I said.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"You see," my colleague went on, "one doesn’t see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk, alone; you don’t want to ‘go out of your way to make trouble.’ Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Uncertainty is a very important factor, and, instead of decreasing as time goes on, it grows. Outside, in the streets, in the general community, ‘everyone’ is happy. One hears no protest, and certainly sees none. You know, in France or Italy there would be slogans against the government painted on walls and fences; in Germany, outside the great cities, perhaps, there is not even this. In the university community, in your own community, you speak privately to your colleagues, some of whom certainly feel as you do; but what do they say? They say, ‘It’s not so bad’ or ‘You’re seeing things’ or ‘You’re an alarmist.’
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can’t prove it. These are the beginnings, yes; but how do you know for sure when you don’t know the end, and how do you know, or even surmise, the end? On the one hand, your enemies, the law, the regime, the Party, intimidate you. On the other, your colleagues pooh-pooh you as pessimistic or even neurotic. You are left with your close friends, who are, naturally, people who have always thought as you have.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"But your friends are fewer now. Some have drifted off somewhere or submerged themselves in their work. You no longer see as many as you did at meetings or gatherings. Informal groups become smaller; attendance drops off in little organizations, and the organizations themselves wither. Now, in small gatherings of your oldest friends, you feel that you are talking to yourselves, that you are isolated from the reality of things. This weakens your confidence still further and serves as a further deterrent to—to what? It is clearer all the time that, if you are going to do anything, you must make an occasion to do it, and then you are obviously a troublemaker. So you wait, and you wait.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"You have gone almost all the way yourself. Life is a continuing process, a flow, not a succession of acts and events at all. It has flowed to a new level, carrying you with it, without any effort on your part. On this new level you live, you have been living more comfortably every day, with new morals, new principles. You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things that your father, even in Germany, could not have imagined.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven’t done (for that was all that was required of most of us: that we do nothing). You remember those early meetings of your department in the university when, if one had stood, others would have stood, perhaps, but no one stood. A small matter, a matter of hiring this man or that, and you hired this one rather than that. You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What then? You must then shoot yourself. A few did. Or ‘adjust’ your principles. Many tried, and some, I suppose, succeeded; not I, however. Or learn to live the rest of your life with your shame. This last is the nearest there is, under the circumstances, to heroism: shame. Many Germans became this poor kind of hero, many more, I think, than the world knows or cares to know."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I said nothing. I thought of nothing to say.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"I can tell you," my colleague went on, "of a man in Leipzig, a judge. He was not a Nazi, except nominally, but he certainly wasn’t an anti-Nazi. He was just—a judge. In ’42 or ’43, early ’43, I think it was, a Jew was tried before him in a case involving, but only incidentally, relations with an ‘Aryan’ woman. This was ‘race injury,’ something the Party was especially anxious to punish. In the case at bar, however, the judge had the power to convict the man of a ‘nonracial’ offense and send him to an ordinary prison for a very long term, thus saving him from Party ‘processing’ which would have meant concentration camp or, more probably, deportation and death. But the man was innocent of the ‘nonracial’ charge, in the judge’s opinion, and so, as an honorable judge, he acquitted him. Of course, the Party seized the Jew as soon as he left the courtroom."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"And the judge?"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Yes, the judge. He could not get the case off his conscience—a case, mind you, in which he had acquitted an innocent man. He thought that he should have convicted him and saved him from the Party, but how could he have convicted an innocent man? The thing preyed on him more and more, and he had to talk about it, first to his family, then to his friends, and then to acquaintances. (That’s how I heard about it.) After the ’44 Putsch they arrested him. After that, I don’t know."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I said nothing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Once the war began," my colleague continued, "resistance, protest, criticism, complaint, all carried with them a multiplied likelihood of the greatest punishment. Mere lack of enthusiasm, or failure to show it in public, was ‘defeatism.’ You assumed that there were lists of those who would be ‘dealt with’ later, after the victory. Goebbels was very clever here, too. He continually promised a ‘victory orgy’ to ‘take care of’ those who thought that their ‘treasonable attitude’ had escaped notice. And he meant it; that was not just propaganda. And that was enough to put an end to all uncertainty.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Once the war began, the government could do anything ‘necessary’ to win it; so it was with the ‘final solution of the Jewish problem,’ which the Nazis always talked about but never dared undertake, not even the Nazis, until war and its ‘necessities’ gave them the knowledge that they could get away with it. The people abroad who thought that war against Hitler would help the Jews were wrong. And the people in Germany who, once the war had begun, still thought of complaining, protesting, resisting, were betting on Germany’s losing the war. It was a long bet. Not many made it."

      <title>Simulated Terrorist Attack PDX &amp;amp; Other Cities this week</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;OVERVIEW of Topoff 4
&lt;br/&gt;by Alex Ansary
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On Friday, October 12th, 2007, Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski and Portland Mayor Tom Potter announced that final preparations are under way in Portland for "TOPOFF 4," the largest and most ambitious exercise in emergency preparedness in U.S. history. Beginning on Monday, October 15, and ending on Friday, October 19, the exercise will simulate terrorist attacks in Portland, Phoenix, and the U.S. territory of Guam. The exercise is designed to test the rapid response and recovery systems of federal, state and local agencies.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Normally, emergency crews and civic leaders aren't in place and prepared when a terrorist strike happens. Tuesday, they will be. And that's because the "dirty bomb" that will explode won't really be dirty - and will be detonated by the same people planning to deal with its aftermath. Officially, the purpose of the mock dirty bomb release is so that live tracking of the plume can be observed and integrated into the exercise. When the "live action" portion concludes Wednesday night, the exercise will move to boardrooms and paper through Friday, concentrating on questions bound to emerge in the aftermath of a real dirty bomb.
&lt;br/&gt;Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff is reported to oversea the operation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 2002, Oregon submitted the application to participate in TOPOFF as a way to test the state's emergency response system and prepare for a major emergency. Agencies from Multnomah, Columbia, Washington, Clackamas and Clark counties also will participate.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Gresham, Mayor Shane Bemis said he hopes his city's residents "take advantage of the concentrated attention on preparedness by making sure their families and households are ready in the event of an emergency or disaster." Portland area residents or other Oregonians interested in additional information during the TOPOFF 4 exercise are encouraged to call 1-800-SAFE-NET.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Biggest Anti-Terror Drill in US history
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The master scenario for this drill involves several Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDDs) or "Dirty Bombs" being detonated in Portland – one located at the East end of the Steele Bridge near the Rose Quarter affecting I-5, another to be detonated "somewhere along the US Highway 26 West Corridor". The project also is aimed at testing the National Response Plan and honing information sharing among government agencies and private-sector Information Sharing and Analysis centers, according to a document describing the exercise
&lt;br/&gt;They will set up hospitals with showers to clean off victims. They will test communication systems and chains of command. And they will hand out M&amp;amp;M candies as if they were pills.
&lt;br/&gt;Exercise spokesman, Lon Hoklin, says enough staff have been left on regular duty, to take care of routine problems like car crashes. Lon Hoklin: "If anything major happens during the exercise, the exercise will immediately terminate and all of the responders will go to the real emergency."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lack of Local Citizens Oversight
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some criticize such drills because they don't involve the public -- making them somewhat unrealistic. Even the media are being kept at arms length during this TOPOFF 4 exercise, a situation that is unlikely to happen during a real attack. A memo about TOPOFF 4 from the Real Estate Information Sharing and Analysis Center to its members stated that the exercise would involve "a significant threat in the Washington, D.C., area." The ISAC memo referred to the simulated threat as "unusual and significant." Yet even as this drill begins, details from the previous national exercise held in 2005 have yet to be publicly released - information that's supposed to help officials prepare for the next real attack.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;House lawmakers were expected to demand answers recently, including why the "after-action" report from 2005 hasn't been made public. Congress has required the exercise since 2000, but has done little in the way of oversight beyond attending the actual events.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A recent case in point: a group based in Portland called the Oregon Truth Alliance aired their concerns and objections regarding a series of upcoming anti-terrorism/national security drills scheduled to take place in their city this month. They were rewarded for their efforts in an October 2 editorial in The Oregonian, the local daily, that snickered:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“It's hard to know what's scarier: the idea of responding to a terrorist attack in Portland or the idea that the government is using a drill as a pretext to seize power, declare martial law and, possibly, attack Iran. The average Portlander doesn't give much thought to either notion, but a feverish fringe sees a disaster drill as evidence of a future police state . . . Fears and objections notwithstanding, though, Portlanders are being asked to welcome thousands of armed strangers.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Background
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;TOPOFF 4, which is shorthand for "Top Officials," was started in 1998 under President Clinton as a way for states to prepare for natural and man-made emergencies.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The first federal Topoff drill was held in May 2000, before the formation of DHS. Topoff 2 took place in Chicago and Seattle in May 2003 to test responses to simulated dirty-bomb and biological-weapon attacks. The exercise involved thousands of public and private response agencies in both locations, as well as Canadian agencies. Topoff 3 was be held in Connecticut and New Jersey, with additional support in the United Kingdom.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;TOPOFF is led by the Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency designated to respond to domestic terrorist attacks, the Department of State, which has the lead for responding to international attacks, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the FBI, CIA, National Guard, the United States Military, NORAD, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), Department of Defense (DoD), etc...) This will involve more than 200 domestic and international organizations, ranging from governmental agencies at all levels to private industry and non-profit organizations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The program costs about $25 million a year and involves the federal government's highest officials, such as top people from the Defense and Homeland Security departments. The agency said the Oct. 15-19 exercise would be "the largest and most comprehensive" to date.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Official Disclosure
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Top Off 4 was announced to the general public as early as March 07th, 2005.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The following is from the DHS's website:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4) is the Nation's premier terrorism preparedness exercise, involving top officials at every level of government, as well as representatives from the international community and private sector."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Exercises such as TOPOFF are an important component of national preparedness, helping to build an integrated Federal, State, territorial, local, and private sector capability to prevent terrorist attacks, and rapidly and effectively respond to, and recover from, any terrorist attack or major disaster that does occur. The full-scale exercise offers agencies and jurisdictions a way to test their plans and skills in a real-time, realistic environment and to gain the in-depth knowledge that only experience can provide. Participants will also exercise prevention and intelligence gathering functions, which are critical to preventing terrorist attacks. Lessons learned from the exercise will provide valuable insights to guide future planning for securing the Nation against terrorist attacks, disasters, and other emergencies."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In August, national military and police forces carried out the terror drill Noble Resolve, focused on Portland as the simulated target of a 10-kiloton nuclear device. Investigating journalists found that top officials zigged and zagged in reply to straight questions about what they were going to do, were doing or had done. Various military commands offered varying explanations, and sometimes outright contradictions, as to the nature of the exercise. Portland Mayor Tom Potter claimed ignorance, and accordingly he ignored it all. A few days before the exercise, the US House Homeland Security Committee formally requested access to the troubling dictatorship directive, NSPD 51, just announced by Bush in May. n reply, a few days later they were formally told to go fly a kite by the White House. Access was denied to view the contingency plans, even for a member of congress.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Manpower
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;More than 4,000 people in the Portland region—and nearly 15,000 people internationally—will simultaneously participate in the exercise. At least 25 state agencies, five counties, three tribes, 16 local jurisdictions and 36 private sector companies will also be involved.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;According to an internal department briefing of next week's exercise obtained by AP, a dirty bomb will go off at a Cabras power plant in Guam; another dirty bomb will explode on the Steel Bridge in Portland, Ore., impacting major transportation systems, and a third dirty bomb will explode at the intersection of busy routes 101 and 202 near Phoenix.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Local Citizens encouraged to role play as victims
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Local citizens are being encouraged to take part in this exercise. The website, t4volunteers.com allows people to sign up for roles to play during the exercise such as Victim/Role player, Team Leader (responsible for a group of 50 of the victims), and the Registration Team. (help with checking in and tracking the volunteers.) The exercise options are the following:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4:30am-5pm Tuesday, 10/16 - at Portland International Raceway
&lt;br/&gt;9:30am-12pm Wednesday, 10/17 - at Medical Care Point at University of Portland Chiles Center
&lt;br/&gt;2pm 10/16 - 9am 10/17 in Vancouver, WA
&lt;br/&gt;2pm 10/16- 9am 10/17 in Gresham, OR
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cascade Campus will serve as a backup command center in conjunction with Oregon's participation. Approximately 50 key emergency preparedness officials will be housed in the garage area of Cascade Campus' Public Services Education Building which will serve as a backup command center.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Several other drills are taking place at the same time
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This year's VS-08 exercise combines the VS-08 hypothetical war scenario over the North American shelf with the conduct of major domestic anti-terrorist drills under TOPOFF 4.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has just announced plans for an anti-terrorism exercise called Vigilant Shield 2008. The series of exercises is mandated by the US government to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of national crises that would call for the use of the military inside the United States. Vigilant Shield 2008 builds a scenario of a domestic disaster in the US (terrorist attack or natural disaster). It posits the domestic use of the US military including a special role for the US Air Force.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hypothetically, a terrorist event could trigger the massive deployment of the US military as part of a national emergency. If a terrorist incident were to occur and Iran were to be blamed for the attacks, the military could also be used to shunt anti-war opposition within the US.
&lt;br/&gt;A precedent for the domestic use of the US military within US cities was established in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Vigilant Shield 2008 is said to be designed to deal with a terrorist or natural disaster scenario in the United States. Yet, the deployment of the US forces in the upcoming US military-security exercise, organized by Homeland Security and the Pentagon, resembles a war-time air scenario over North America and the Pacific rather than an anti-terrorist drill. Canadian territory is also involved through NORAD and so is Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Iran Link: Air War Scenario?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The involvement of a Pacific front suggests a scenario of confrontation with Russia or China. The Pacific Ocean, along with an arctic route across Canada are the most likely routes for hypothetical Chinese and Russian aerial attacks in response to a broader global war resulting from attacks on Iran. These assumptions were actually built into last year's Vigilant Shield exercise (Vigilant Shield '07).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;USNORTHCOM's primary exercise venues for VS-08 include locations in Oregon, Arizona and a cooperative venue with USPACOM in the Territory of Guam. NORAD's aerospace detection and defense events will take place across all the exercise venues, to exercise the ability to mobilize resources for aerospace defense, aerospace control, maritime warning, and coordination of air operations in a disaster area.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is extremely disturbing for it points me in a direction beyond a false flag attack on US soil and more in the direction of the potential of a conflict with China and Russia. For example:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The JPOST reported in August that "The leaders of China, Russia, and four Central Asian states will observe joint war games being held this month by their countries' armed forces, China's foreign ministry said Thursday. The Aug. 9-17 drill, called "Peace Mission 2007," in eastern Russia will coincide with an annual summit of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Li Hui told reporters at a briefing. "This is the first time that all the leaders of SCO nations will attend the war games," Li said. "All the member countries put a high value on these drills."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The exercises are aimed at countering terrorism, including a scenario in which militants occupy a town, requiring SCO forces to retake it by force - a scenario similar to threats faced by Russia in the Caucuses."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In another report, RIA Novosti is reporting that the Russian bomber patrols are still ongoing, currently in the form of another war game scenerio. From the article:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“Russian strategic bombers will conduct October 16-30 a series of long-range training flights, with simulated bomber raids and missile launches, an Air Force spokesman said on Monday. Russian strategic bombers Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3, and Il-78 aerial tankers will conduct flights over the Arctic region, the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, and the Black Sea, with simulated bombing raids and firing of cruise missiles at testing grounds in northern and southern Russia.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Moscow announced in mid-August that regular patrol flights by strategic bombers had been resumed, and would continue on a permanent basis, with patrol areas including commercial shipping and economic production zones. The U.S. administration expressed concern about the resumption of patrol flights by Russian strategic bombers.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While the Russians flex their aerial muscles, the Japanese are expressing concern of their own through their own multinational naval drills. Singapore is participating in a multinational maritime exercise that is hosted by Japan in the seas off Izu Oshima, and at the ports of Yokosuka and Yokohama.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Exercise Pacific Shield" seeks to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction through a multinational effort. Besides Singapore, other participants are Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and the US. They will be joined by nine observer countries, including India, Malaysia and Vietnam. The maritime exercise is held under the ambit of the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), and takes place from 13 to 15 October. “
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Earlier this year, we witnessed Solid Curtain 2007. A navy website reported the facts about the drill on September 21st, 2007.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“Exercise Solid Curtain 2007, a Navy force protection exercise, will be conducted on all naval installations in the continental United States Sept. 14 - 21, 2007. Exercise Solid Curtain 2007, conducted to enhance training and readiness of naval security personnel, is a regularly-scheduled exercise and is not in response to any specific threat. While disruptions to base operations will be limited, there may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic or delays in base access. Area residents may also see increased military activity associated with the exercise.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In September, The Department of Homeland Security sponsored an event in Huntsville, AL where children had the opportunity to participate in a mock martial law oriented disaster exercise. The event called the Be Ready Camp is being was held in two sessions as part of the governments National Preparedness Month initiative.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Kansas a larger natural disaster drill is taking place during Top Off 4 and Vigilant Shield.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Domestically, even FEMA is modifying their tune. FEMA recently announced a change in their preparation plans. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is quietly drawing up plans for a handful of disasters: devastating earthquakes beneath San Francisco and St. Louis and catastrophic storms in South Florida and Hawaii, FEMA's chief said Thursday.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why are all these anti-terrorism and war game drills taking place at the same time?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Linked Exercises"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The administration is talking about "linked exercises", where war scenarios are conducted simultaneously and in close coordination with civilian anti-terrorist drills. This central concept --which underlies the "Global War on Terrorism"-- has a direct bearing on the conduct of the US led war in the Middle East. At the same time, the process of "domestic security" has become entrenched and integrated into military planning.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 'linked exercises" provide an environment which favors the militarization of civilian institutions. They also impart the military with a further opportunity to interfere in domestic civilian law enforcement and judicial functions. The conduct of the anti-terrorist exercise is intended to justify the need to retaliate against an illusive outside enemy (Al Qaeda), even if the US is not attacked. TIME magazine has recently questioned the drills and some of their problems with oversight.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“The public and the media have never been allowed to fully participate in the nation's most elaborate counterterrorism drills and this is a reality that we wish to let the general public know about.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Drills that have gone “live” in the past spark great concern on the internet
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The 911 Truth Movement is spearheading the cry for greater transparency, for good reason. Many people have seen the fact that these types of drills have had a strange habit of mysteriously and spontaneously "going live". The examples cited are September 11th, 2001 and the London Bombings of 7-7-05.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On the morning of 9/11/01, US northeastern air defenses were crippled by a Cheney-Rumsfeld production that combined at least four exercise scenarios -- Vigilant Warrior, Vigilant Guardian, Northern Guardian and Northern Vigilance -- and which, per script, diverted to northern Canada or Alaska many of the NORAD fighter jets that would have been scrambled per standard operating procedure in the event of a suspected hijacking. And the few planes left out of the exercise were not airborne until 80 minutes after the first hijacking alert -- about 70 minutes longer than normal.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As part of the exercises, false radar blips showed up on air traffic controllers' screens that masked the flight patterns of the four hijacked jets and led controllers to believe that as many as 22 planes had been hijacked. Per standard procedure, various regional air traffic control centers notified the FAA, which passed on the alerts to NORAD, which couldn't respond because they hadn't enough fighters available to handle that many hijackings. Because of the ongoing drills, they didn't even know which blips represented actual threats.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also noteworthy is a fifth exercise taking place at the same time, this one conceived by the National Reconnaissance Office (the NRO operates the US network of spy satellites) and carried out by CIA operatives. This exercise was designed to test emergency response capabilities in the event that an off-course plane crashed into one of the NRO's four office towers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The name "Vigilant Shield" brings to mind "Vigilant Guardian," the 9/11/2001 Air Force exercise that pulled away fighter aircraft supposed to guard mainland America and sent them off to counter a simulated Russian attack in Alaska. Vigilant Guardian may also have been simulating hijacked aircraft, thereby confusing the few remaining fighter aircraft guarding us. Given that Vigilant Guardian was anything but a vigilant guardian on the day of the last U.S. terror attack, just how reassured should we feel by the feel-good name of Vigilant Shield?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On that day, multiple Government agencies including FEMA, the FBI, CIA, National Guard, The United States Air Force, NORAD, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), Department of Defense (DoD), Civilian Air Traffic Controllers and multiple other agencies were all participating in fifteen simultaneous emergency exercises – drills, some of which the master scenario involved hijacked airliners crashing into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington DC, and several other coincidentally strange targets, like Dulles International Airport. Strange, because George W. Bush's younger brother Marvin P. Bush was principal in a company called SecuraCom (now Stratesec) that had an ongoing contract to handle security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. Flight 77 (the plane that supposedly hit the Pentagon) left from Dulles International Airport at 8:20am.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oddly, the 9/11 Commission barely mentioned these exercises, citing only one in a footnote and ignoring the rest. Now to London. On 7/7/05, the private firm Visor Associates ran a mock bombing drill involving three train stations and a double-decker bus. As the exercise began, bombs exploded at those same three stations and, about an hour later, on that same bus route.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The growing concern about a futuristic Martial Law reality
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The rationales and blueprints for implementation of martial law are already on the books. Reasoning that the USAPATRIOT Act(s) and the Military Commissions Act weren't quite repressive enough, on May 9, 2007, Bush issued a document entitled "National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51" and "Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20." This directive outlines the federal government's plan for maintaining continuity in the face of a "catastrophic emergency."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The document defines a --catastrophic emergency-- as --any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government function.-- Well, that certainly narrows things down.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If any of these events occurs, Bush grants himself the power to lead the entire federal government, not merely the executive branch. And, recognizing his veneration of constitutional law, he graciously gives himself sole responsibility --for ensuring constitutional government.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Local Preparations VS. Federal Preparations
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Regardless of your position on the Bush Administration and the War on Terror, the key element within all of these drills is a dependency on the government. These is very little oversight into their drills and the information gathered. Instead of being shared with the local governments, our local police and authorities are being training in these drills to work under the federal government and their contractors in the case of a disaster. Most Portlanders remain unaware of the basic facts of this drill and are no more prepared the week after Topoff 4, then they were a week before the drill.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Most alarming, is the lack of education on the national and local level on how to take care of yourself without aid from the government and it’s growing multiple agencies. This is of grave concern for anyone who believes that these threats are real. The message being sent from locals in the Portland 911 Truth movement is very clear.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. They tell us this mantra regularly in the post 911 world. now it’s our turn.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>The Aim of the Financiers: A One-World Government with a One-World Currency</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Aim of the Financiers: A One-World Government with a One-World Currency
&lt;br/&gt;By Alain Pilote
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The following article is one of the appendices of Louis Even's new book, "In This Age of Plenty":
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The basic flaw of the present financial system is that the banks create money as a debt, charging interest on the money that they create.  The obligation for the debtor countries to repay the banks money that the banks did not create, money that does not exist, brings about unpayable debts.  The Financiers know quite well that it is impossible for these countries to repay their debts, that the present financial system is defective at its base, and that it can only bring about crises and revolutions.  But this is exactly what they want!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As Clifford Hugh Douglas, the founder of the Social Credit school, said: "The Money Power does not, and never did, want to improve the money system - its consequences in war, sabotage and social friction are exactly what is desired.". Why?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is because the Financiers believe that they are the only ones capable of governing mankind properly, and in order to be able to impose their will upon every individual and control the whole world, they invented the present debt-money system.  They want to bring every nation in the world to such a state of crisis that these countries will think they have no alternative but to accept the miracle solution of the Financiers to save them from disaster: complete centralization, a single world currency, and a one-world government, in which all nations will be abolished, or forced to give up their sovereignty.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Trilateral Commission
&lt;br/&gt;There are three major economic areas in the world: Europe, North America, and the Far East (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.).  If, under the pretext of having to join forces to be able to face economic competition with the two other economic regions, the member countries of each of these three regions decide to merge into one single country, forming three Super-States, then the one-world government will be almost achieved.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is exactly what is taking place now, and being promoted by the Trilateral Commission, founded in July, 1973, by David Rockefeller, the chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank of New York.  The official aim of the Trilateral Commission is "to harmonize the political, economic, social, and cultural relations between the three major economic regions in the world (hence the name "Trilateral").  This aim is almost achieved in Europe with the Single European Act that was implemented in 1993, requiring all the member countries of the European Community to abolish their trade barriers, and to hand over their monetary and fiscal policies to the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium. By 1999, all these countries are supposed to share only one currency, the "Euro".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As regards the North American area, the merger of its member countries is well under way with the passage of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), first between Canada and the U.S.A., ant which later also included Mexico. (By the next ten years, it is supposed to include all of the Americas)  There is a strong pressure to force these countries to harmonize their fiscal policies, and as it happened in Europe, economic union will inevitably lead to political union.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In front of these two gigantic economic powers, the countries of the Far East will have no choice but to join forces together and merge, to be able to compete with North America and Europe in the field of international trade.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One-world currency -- the "Mark of the Beast"??
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To consolidate their power, the Financiers also want to eliminate every existing national currency, and to install a one-world currency.  In the 1970s, Dr. Hanrick Eldeman, Chief Analyst of the Common Market Confederacy in Brussels, unveiled a plan to "straighten out world chaos": a three-story computer located in the administrative building of the headquarters of the Common Market, in Brussels, Belgium.  People who work there call it "the Beast".  The plan implies a system of digital enumeration of each human being on earth.  Thus the computer would give each inhabitant of the world a number to be used for each purchase or sale.  This number would be invisibly tattooed by laser (or implanted with a microchip) either on the forehead or on the back of the hand. This would establish a walking credit card system.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And the number could be seen only through infrared scanners, installed in special verification countries or in business places. Dr. Eldeman pointed out that by using three entries of six digits each, every inhabitant of the world would be given a distinct credit card number.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This reminds us strangely of what Saint John the Apostle wrote in the Book of Revelation (13:16-18): "And he (the Beast) shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to receive a mark on their right hands, or on their foreheads, and that none might buy or sell, unless he carried this mark, which was the beast's name, or the number that stands for his name.  Here is wisdom; he that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast.  For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred and sixty-six".
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;That man will be the Pope of Rome who will be incarnate by Satan as he incarnate the Serpent, a man-like creature, in the garden of Eden, and Judas Iscariot in the days of Christ's flesh. The main title and claim of the Pope is "Vicarivs Filii Dei" which means "In place of the Son of God", or "Substitute for the Holy Ghost". The letters of this title with numeric values in the old Roman system add up to 666. Thus:
&lt;br/&gt;V 	= 005
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;C 	= 100
&lt;br/&gt;A 	= 000
&lt;br/&gt;R 	= 000
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;V 	= 005
&lt;br/&gt;S 	= 000
&lt;br/&gt;  	 
&lt;br/&gt;F 	= 000
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;L 	= 500
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;  	 
&lt;br/&gt;D 	= 050
&lt;br/&gt;E 	= 000
&lt;br/&gt;I 	= 001
&lt;br/&gt;Total 	= 666
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Debit cards
&lt;br/&gt;A few decades ago, before the invention of computers and microchips, such a system would have seemed far-fetched, a product of science fiction. But now everyone knows about the existence of debit cards with which you can buy anything in stores, without the need to carry any cash on you, the amount of your purchase being debited automatically from your bank account.  The avowed goal of the banks is to eliminate all cash, and to force people to use debit cards as the only mea
