49. Hi, Oversea Visitor! Keep spreading the Truth!
George Herbert Walker Bush told the FBI he was in Dallas. Here it is in black and white. The document also chronicles how the man who became president and the father of a president, in secret, reported hearing someone wanted to kill JFK. Why didn't he report that BEFORE JFK was killed?



On the day Oswald is killed, "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency" reports to J Edgar Hoover on the reaction to the assassination by the pro- and anti-Castro Cuban communities in Miami. One needs to develop good connections to do that kind of work.

...because he really thought he could help. He epitomized in many respects what so many Americans wish they could do there.

Sadly, the reality is that Iraq has become a nation of targets and victims.

21. That the constitution is failed, and the republic as we know it is over
To discuss it is to wake up to action, to break the consensus that
is only used to enslave us to perpetual war and the erosion of the very
principals that bound us together in the first place.

We need a new constitution. The old one is void... but to discuss it
is to be disloyal to the nazi reich and, it is not supposed to be said.

56. Oil pipelines through the Balkan's ethnic cleansing zones..
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 04:31 AM by JohnOneillsMemory
Michel Collon of Belgium is the author of two books on the Balkans, Liar’s Poker, and Monopoly.

He spoke of the attempt to gain control of the Caspian Sea’s oil reserves and the pipelines used to distribute this oil.

>snip<

Three weeks after the beginning of the war, General Michael Jackson, commander of KFOR in Macedonia and soon in Kosovo, confided to the Italian daily, Sole 24 Ore: "Today, the circumstances which we have created here have changed. Today, it is absolutely necessary to guarantee the stability of Macedonia and its entry into NATO. But we will certainly remain here a long time so that we can also guarantee the security of the energy corridors which traverse this country."

The Italian daily went on to say, "It is clear that Jackson is referring to the 8th Corridor, the East-West axis which ought to be combined to the pipeline bringing energy resources from Central Asia to terminals in the Black Sea and in the Adriatic, connecting Europe to Central Asia. That explains why the great and medium-sized powers, and first of all Russia, don’t want to be excluded from the settling of scores that will take place over the next few months in the Balkans."1

Why have they buried the economic importance of this conflict? Why present the undertaking, which began in the summer of 1999 in Albania, as "reconstruction" and "support for good and faithful service," since it’s all about the beginning of the 8th Corridor, which has been financed and in development for a long time already? Why conceal the projected pan-European energy transport system, which forms the crux of the strategy of all the great powers?

The Strategic Project of the European Union

The "Corridors" are a project which was launched by the European Union at the beginning of the 1990s. Their objective: the complete economic and territorial integration of Eastern Europe into the European market. Practically all of these strategic axes find their origin in the "heart" of Europe, where they are tightly networked: Germany.

The Corridors are an ensemble of different means of communication with the East and the South East: 18,000 kilometers of highways; 20,000 of railroads; 38 airports, 13 maritime ports and 49 rivers; and numerous oil and gas pipelines. Their function is to facilitate the flow of investments to the East and the flow of raw materials and manufactured products from the East. This project is strategic: the EU foresees investing 90 million euros there over the next fifteen years.

The map (p. 98) shows that Kosovo figures in this corridor, which has served for centuries as a route between Europe and the Mid-East. This route was crucial for the German war machine during the Second World War.

The United States does not conceal its desire to control the strategic knot of corridors situated in the Balkans. They vetoed a project for Corridor 10, which passes through Serbia. They offered $100 million to Romania in order to route pipelines father north (across Hungary).

They have a double objective: keep Yugoslavia out of the game and create an obstacle for Russian interests in the Southern Balkans. The Italian oil company ENI had foreseen a pipeline going from Pitesti (Romania) to the Yugoslav refinery in Pan… evo, but U.S. war planes destroyed the Yugoslav complex with remarkable tenacity.

The Strategic Importance of the Corridors

The "corridors" are the strategic highways of tomorrow for the European economy. At stake in the battle to control them are hundreds of millions of euros.

What route will goods take, specifically oil and gas coming from the former USSR, from the East or the South East? This question of competing pipelines has already inflamed the Caucasus (see the maps in Liar’s Poker, p. 134–135). And it will continue to inflame other areas, as the map tracing rival pipelines shows (see p. 120 and 122).

On the one hand, Moscow wants to continue transporting oil from the Caucasus through Russia to the north and by the Black Sea to the West. On the other hand, Washington has done all in its power to side-step Russia and weaken it, chiefly by trying to impose a new, long and costly Baku-Ceyhan pipeline through Turkey.

This confrontation has been prolonged in the Balkans, where various projects are competing to import oil from the Black Sea. Turkey wants to prevent Russian oil from passing through the Bosporus Straight by using ecological pretexts. And the Ukraine wants to construct 670 km pipeline from Odessa going north.

On the other hand, Romania is gladly accepting Russian oil from Novorossiysk in its Constanta port, while Greek-American interests are projecting a pipeline from the Bulgarian port of Burgas to the Aegean Sea. This would render the Turkish pipeline unprofitable.

The wars of the future will still carry a strong odor of petroleum.

(But the bombing of Kosovo was an angelic rescue mission with no self-interest on the part of Clinton and Wesley Clark, right?-jom)

I can't help but notice that it's more than the new deal. Perpetual
war, spying on citizens and this secrecy thing are beyond the constitution,
so either someone has already not defended it and declared it void,
or it is not in force....

That the military is now in to torture, and does not answer to the

it has advocated and provoked criminal wars, makes the top leadership
criminal and no defenders of the constitution or the nation.

The involvement of Bush's uncle, Jonathan Bush, with the scandal-plagued Riggs Bank.

The growing split among repukelicans over the immigration/amnesty issue.

Bush's apparent coziness with Clinton. (Guaranteed to give freepers fits!)

The push to put Arnold Schwarzenegger (crossing myself and donning garlic necklace) in the White House.

The allegations that Jeb Bush's son, George P. Bush, has a history of being abusive towards women.

The allegations (no idea if this is true or not, I have no personal knowledge, and this is my opinion only) that George H.W. Bush likes 'em young, real young.

Most of the GOP f*cks are old enough that they don't give a damn about superstorms, massive crop failures, dead forests worldwide, rapidly rising sea levels and a new Ice Age. It's big profits NOW for them; and when they kill the planet? Well then, hell, Jesus will be FORCED to return then, right? :eyes:

39. I agree with your list, but just a small quibble
Edited on Sat Jan-29-05 11:41 AM by Lydia Leftcoast
We're more like 1930s Germany (when there was still a facade of normal life) than 1940s Germany (when the concentration camps were in full operation and the bombs were falling).

:-)

Oh, and may I add my own items:

The need for a single-payer health care system--MSM talk about "health care reform" invariably limits itself to subsidies or tax credits for buying overpriced insurance or else some lamebrained idea that if consumers can shop for doctors, prices will go down. ("Hey, ambulance crew, this hospital charges too much. Let's go around to the different hospitals and see which one charges the least to treat a heart attack.")

Shills being paid by the auto and real estate industries to spread lies about mass transit and smart growth

The fact that many of America's problems with education are caused by local contro--idiotic school boards elected by idiotic parents

This effects our economy, military deployments & funding, and America's prestige around the world. I'm surprised that large-scale boycotts of American products or even economic sanctions against the Bush Regime haven't taken place.

42. Democratic imperialism
The democratic party loves to harness potential voters to bet back
in office, but hiding in the wings is just another sort of imperialism
that wants to betray us all... I know people mention the vichy dems,
and indeed, it is underdiscussed, as we have a "consensus understanding"
to oppose bush, liberal left (progressives), libertarian liberals, and
vichy dems.... but that alliance was for last november.... and what
is it now? It is underdiscussed, as there is fear in the vichy camp
that they are increasingly alone pulling towards republicanism, rather
than falling back on principal.

These truth threads are great, the more insightful they get, the faster
they sink... that they become virtual heavy radioactive isotopes, so
heavy and dangerous, nobody will kick or comment... :-)

51. Cliff Baxter suicide and ENRON Energy policy.
Odd how on one day he wanted a bodyguard and looked forward to sailing on his new 73-foot yacht and on the next day left his house in pajamas and shot himself in the head with ratshot. No wonder Bush claimed that "That man" "supported his opponent," Ann Richards.

53. A recent CNN online poll
showing that 99% of respondents would NOT be willing to die for democracy in Iraq.

But judging by the last election it is apparently okay if others die.

54. Haarp, decimation of dolphins and whales, GWEN, ELF, but heck, we could
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 03:50 AM by evolvenow
run out of oil sooner than they figured, go sustainable, develop free energy and have a beautiful future.

Global warming, Haarp= Exploitation Grand Central, opens up Antartica for oil, land, and makes an easy trip without all of those pesky glaciers and ice in the way of all that unbridled raping of the earth.

Before anyone starts screaming, Google: Bearden, tectonic weapons

Google: free energy, economics

Google: Tesla, bankrupt, J.P. Morgan

Make the connection that when we go off grid, off oil, big time, the gig is up and that is only if Nature doesn't give us a well-deserved heave-ho at some point, first.

Seriously, IMHO, these War Criminal thugs are the end of a dynasty, that is why they have to steal elections. There are still not enough people. not enough consciousness to shift into a new paradigm based on life, not death, but it is becoming more powerful every day. When the polarity reaches a breaking point, there will be a shift, either gradual, or great, just like when the Berlin Wall came down, Communism broke down:

Evil institutions will crumble and be replaced with truth and action all over the world. Money will fall. Government is being revealed, Secret Government/organizations are being exposed and eventually the secrecy that is needed to keep horror in motion, will come to a halt and humanity will begin to take care and protect all living beings.

Until that time, that list is gonna become gigantic.

Oh, and IMHO I still feel the earthquakes were not just a natural occurrence.

Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 04:45 AM by JohnOneillsMemory
They wouldn't vandalize the ionosphere the way DOD did in 1962 when they set off a High Altitude Nuclear Explosion or HANE and the Van Allen Belts didn't stabilize for 10 years AND they killed seven of their own LEOS or Low Earth-Orbiting Satellites in the process.

Or try to use HAARP and ELF to magnetically vacuum the ionosphere in case North Korea sets off a HANE to blind the US as suggested in this University of Maryland graphic presentation:

61. Now...how can you fire a gun or load it, if you are crawling on the ground

http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/gwen-haarp-satellite-gps-emf-control-grid.htm

GWEN Towers, HAARP & Satellite GPS_EMF Control Grid

The Purpose Behind The Neighborhood ELF Microwave Towers

Sent To Don Croft By an unidentified friendly source
May 23, 2002

Think grid triangulation. Like the old grid paper, put a dot at each corner. expand the box outward. Each level of panel acts also dimensionally (not like 4th, but in 3d space dimensions, don), or to put it another way, pitch, yaw, up, down, right, left, x, y, intensity, duration,  frequency pulse, etc, those kind of dimensions.

The whole damn dumb show was supposed to go down in late 99, but they didn't get people's guns, that big final obstacle to fascism. That's  when they hit upon these ELF towers. Tested them in Ventura, Africa, and the Sudan. They had GWEN operational in '92, but it did entire counties and would affect their own people, who have body suits they were (lined with lead-impregnated kevlar- which blocks elf and piggyback freqs.).

So they found out that the little towers, by the tens of thousands,  they could literally aim any energy like a gun to a single home, a given  range area, and so forth. Big places run by FEMA/NORAD run it all from computers. But they can also go remote, with the proper clearance and hookup.  They found out they didn't need to get the guns (that's why the push and schoolyard shootings stopped here; they no longer needed that scare op that worked so well in England, Australia, Germany, ....)

Now...how can you fire a gun or load it, if you are crawling on the ground begging for mercy? If you can imagine the worst abdominable pain there is, then you know how debiliating it is - you simply can't do anything, but lie on the ground and pray for relief  .

Then they can clean up entire streets, districts, small towns, enclaves, as needed. They don't need to pulse the whole country at once. Only as they do sweeps would they need to fire the machine up. And it is great for little revolts as they are sure to spring up. You can aim this grid like a net, down to the meter's distance. Got a neighborhood or backwoods community that isn't cow towing the NWO line? Simple, fire up the machine and down they go...as you walk through, kill the ringleaders, disarm the rest, then the lesson is taught to the survivors

There's never ever been a school shooting in Australia, mainly because we don't have guns.

Jesus, this crap gets posted when there's real issues to discuss.

Why it is that the "sanctity of marriage" is always trotted out as "reason" to stop gay people marrying when those so virulently opposed to it (gay marriage) are usually on their second or thiurd straight marriage?

They were described as "exotic weapons" and then the term chemtrails mysteriously disappeared from the bill.

75. 1. The Bill of Rights.
2. The Geneva Conventions.

3. The fact that Bush's policies comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted.

4. Bush and his allies' vindictiveness.

5. Grover Norquist and his ilk, the puppetmasters behind Bush policies.

6. The fact that the GOP spouts Frank Luntz-tested phrases (such as "It's better to fight the terrorists in Baghdad than in New York or Washington") that have nothing whatever to do with the real dangers faced by the U.S.

7. Bush and his allies' treachery.

8. That the Bush administration constantly claims it's doing a much better job than any other previous administration and that it's leaving things much better than they were before, rather than fouling up things and creating problems for future enerations.

9. That Bush owes his millionaire status to the taxpayers of Texas, not any actual work that he did.

10. That torture, lying about WMD, outing CIA agents, allowing civilians to die for a policy, and the like are morally disgusting, far more disgusting than, say, lying about sex.

Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 07:48 PM by Liberty Belle
which has taken money from the world's worst companies and biggest polluters, also putting industry reps in charge of regulatory agencies. . Predictably, with the foxes watching the henhouse, the federal government has weakened consumer and worker safety standards while relaxing pollution limitations.

A new report by Human Rights Watch shows just how bad things have become. 100 years after Upton Sinclair published The Jungle, an expose of dangerous meatpacking practices that led to much-needed safety reforms, conditions have again deteriorated. Today, meatpacking is the most dangerous job in America, causing numerous deaths, dismemberment and other serious injuries.

Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 08:27 PM by evolvenow
I heard a woman on a video mention that part of the reason that AIDS is so widely spread in poor countries, was because of the vaccines affecting their immune systems making them more vulnerable, plus of course many other factors. But beware of any vaccine, who knows what is in it, besides mercury and other hellish toxins.

Also, wait for the short and long term damage that DU has and will sadly manifest...for generations as it affects DNA. Shame, Shame, Shame for these horrific actions.
