NEO-CON CALLS FOR SHREDDING CONSTITUTION, IMPOSING WORLD GOVERNMENT

A recent Austin-American Statesman review of Neo-Con Philip Bobbitt’s new book Terror and Consent features an image of a shredded Constitution under the words "Everything must go," which acts as a suitable entrée to a disgusting diatribe which praises Bobbitt’s call for the end of America and its replacement with a de facto world government in the name of fighting terror.

MEETING WITH DAN BURISCH ON 10 DECEMBER, 2007

Although dated Dec, 07, this was just posted as Dan has just given his permission to post these details of his meeting with PC. -- ZDN

Dan had been incommunicado and unavailable during most of the latter half of 2007, during which time he had been called back 'inside' to participate in a project of considerable National Security importance (see this page for Marci McDowell's public statement about Dan's 'sabbatical'). After he was released from his duties, we met with him for several hours... and were told an amazing story.

FREE ENERGY: WHAT BIG OIL AND CENTRAL BANKERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

Watch the video.

Examples like this are all over the www; people using magnets, and many other technologies, to create free energy. The principle is simple and can be constructed on a much larger scale, so why don't we have access to this technology that is as old as Tesla?

Another example is Tom Beardon, a fella in Huntsville, Al., who has prototyped an over unity device (puts out more energy than what it is fed) that he is trying to mass produce. One obstacle is funding however; Tom says that no one in the U.S. wants to fund it unless they get control of it, which will allow them to shelve the technology as so many others have been. He is now working with people abroad. -- ZDN

BILL CLINTON PARDONED A MEMBER OF THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND

Days before Bill Clinton left the White House, he pardoned Susan Rosenberg who had several ties to terrorists groups in the 70's and 80's. The groups included the Black Liberation Army, the Weather Underground, and The Family. She was indicted for driving a getaway car in October 1981 for a robbery of a Brinks armored car carrying $1.6 million, a robbery in which two policemen and an armed guard were murdered.

THE CLINTON’S TAX RETURNS RAISE RED FLAG

According to the newly released tax records, Bill Clinton earned $15 million as a consultant for Burkle. Now, Hillary did admit on her 2003-2004 Senate Financial Disclosure Statements that Bill Clinton’s Yucaipa income was “more than $1,000.” So, technically, I guess, she didn’t lie. But $15 million!? And for what? Burkle admitted in one news report that Clinton spent about an average of 10 hours per week on Yucaipa business. That’s a pretty paltry investment of time, given the enormous amount of compensation.

Which leads to the question…What does Burkle expect in return for his investment?

OIL FUTURES JUMP TO RECORD OVER $115 ON SUPPLY CONCERNS

NEW YORK (AP) -- Crude futures made their first foray past $115 Wednesday, propelled to a new record by concerns about how much gas will be available during the peak summer months.

IRANIAN CASTS DOUBTS ON SEPT. 11 ATTACK, GROUND ZERO DEATHS

Although Iran has condemned the 2001 al-Qaida attacks on New York and Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week that Ahmadinejad questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.

U.S. STRIKE ON IRAN NEARING

WHY ZIONISM-NAZISM COMPARISONS ARE LEGITIMATE

I strongly believe that Jews around the world, including those in Israel , ought to be constantly reminded of the evil crimes committed in Palestine under their collective name, as well as understand the close ideological similarity between Nazism and Zionism.

WE ARE HUNGRY!

This week’s front pages carried compelling issues: women ex-contractors giving evidence of sexual abuse at the hand of U.S. soldiers and other contractors in Iraq; a nuclear plant explosion in volatile Pakistan; a 200,000-annual job loss in the United States; a presidential gift of 12-month tours to soldiers while prolonging U.S tyranny in Iraq; Israel’s (and proxy’s) continued attacks on Gaza and stepped-up militarist provocation against Lebanon; U.S. vigil of lies attempting five years later the to justify overthrow of a sovereign nation and its president and the killing, wounding and displacing of hundreds of thousands of Iraq’s people; and China news: overdue protests in a world gorging itself on China-made commodities, reactionary put downs of protests, and convenient claims by the Tiananmen Square murderers that “terrorists” are threatening their August Olympic Games―Compelling indeed.

But what stirs my deepest outrage this week is man-made food scarcity: policies spending trillions to kill, forcing millions to riot for rice.

SETTING THE PROPAGANDA STAGE FOR AN ATTACK ON IRAN: AMERICAN HEGEMONY IS NOT GUARANTEED

Exactly as the British press predicted, last week's congressional testimony by Gen. David Petraeus and Green Zone administrator Ryan Crocker set the propaganda stage for a Bush regime attack on Iran. On April 10 Robert H. Reid of AP News reported: "The top US commander has shifted the focus from al-Qaida to Iranian-backed 'special groups' as the main threat . . . The shift was articulated by Gen. Petraeus who told Congress that 'unchecked, the special groups pose the greatest long-term threat to the viability of a democratic Iraq.'"

According to the neocon propaganda, the "special groups" (have you ever heard of them before?) are breakaway elements of al Sadr's militia.

WESTERN MEDIA FABRICATIONS REGARDING THE TIBET RIOTS FAKE VIDEOTAPE USED BY CNN

The report presented by CNN's Beijing Correspondent John Vause focussed on the Tibet protests in Gansu province and in the Tibetan capital Lhasa.

FBI ABUSE OF "NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS" -- NEW REVELATIONS

The investigation into a suspected accomplice to mass murder was sidetracked because FBI bureaucrats sought additional powers they "desperately wanted," in order to escape judicial oversight and expand their brief to shower the public with flimsy National Security Letters.

IRAN SHOULD BE "SET UP FOR AN ATTACK"

When Gen. David Petraeus along with U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker gave their testimony to the Senate on April 9, they did nothing more than to confirm in spades what had been being mooted and duly leaked by the Washington-based press: that the Bush-Cheney Administration had officially endorsed the line that Iran should be set up for attack, on grounds that it--and not any indigenous resistance--were responsible for the mounting death toll among American troops in Iraq.

while McCain moved away from many of his originally stated lessons on Vietnam as he went into politics, he has since returned to many of them as he has grown closer to the neoconservative movement – rehashing the old arguments to warn about the dangers of leaving Iraq even as those ideas proved to be false alarms in the case of Vietnam.

To a select crowd of Americans, Obama preaches against the handling of the Iraq war. To other more private groups, Obama advocates military strikes on new middle eastern countries. Obama has aligned himself with several lobbying firms and nongovernmental organizations who seek further US militarization of the world. In several speeches and essays, Obama makes his foreign policy goals clear – and he is not anti-war.

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE BUSH

Are Americans unusually stupid or is it something our president put in the water? ? As millions surrender their homes and sacrifice other standards of our nation’s economic and political reputation to the caprice of the Bush-Cheney imperium, a majority of voters tell pollsters that they might vote for a candidate who promises more of the same.

STEPHANOPOULOS QUIZZES OBAMA ON RELATIONSHIP TO MEMBER OF TERRORIST GROUP; OLBERMANN ENRAGED

They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times, saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house and your campaign has said you were “friendly.” Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?

HILLARY ON WORKING CLASS WHITE SOUTHERNERS IN 1995: 'SCREW 'EM'

In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David.

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE AND THE RISE OF THE NEWER WORLD ORDER

A very telling article was written by Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations. He accurately described the decline of the American empire and put forward some plans for the ‘tectonic shift' that will take place as nation states scramble to fill the power vacuum that will be left behind by the decline of the military muscle of America. He spoke of a ‘Newer World Order' as events are taking place and the ruling elite want to take full advantage of it.

CFR: THE AGE OF NONPOLARITY, A NEWER WORLD ORDER

The United States' unipolar moment is over. International relations in the twenty-first century will be defined by nonpolarity. Power will be diffuse rather than concentrated, and the influence of nation-states will decline as that of nonstate actors increases. But this is not all bad news for the United States; Washington can still manage the transition and make the world a safer place.

RICHARD N. HAASS is President of the Council on Foreign Relations.

The CIA and Mossad have gotten away with countless covert operations and false flags. There are too many to name.

The pilot who took the photos wishes (for the obvious reasons) to remain anonymous, but these photos are purported to be of an area near Camp Gruber-Braggs, Oklahoma in early April of 1995. Needless to say, just days after this photo was taken, the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City was destroyed (along with internal cutter charges) by a Ryder truck full of explosives.

Contrary to the image of a dangerous gun nut put out in the media in an effort to justify the burning of the church, official BATF records prove that David Koresch was rather harmless, so much so that the BATF agents invited him to go shooting with them just 9 days before they raided the church. Koresch supplied the ammunition. The BATF agents allowed Koresch to try out their weapons.

(1995-2001): TRAINING EXERCISES CONDUCTED ARE BASED AROUND AIRCRAFT HIJACKINGS

Numerous training exercises are held around the US, based on the scenario of terrorist attacks that involve aircraft hijackings. Richard Clarke, the counterterrorism “tsar” from 1998 until October 2001, will later testify that, before 9/11: “In many, many cities and probably most metropolitan areas, the FBI had worked with the state and local authorities to plan responses to certain kinds of terrorist attacks. We then held a series of exercises around the country. For example, on weapons of mass destruction attacks, we had had a whole series of exercises about hijackings of aircraft.” [US Congress, 6/11/2002 pdf file]

FEBRUARY 11, 1999: BIN LADEN MISSILE STRIKE CALLED OFF FOR FEAR OF HITTING PERSIAN GULF ROYALTY

Intelligence reports foresee the presence of bin Laden at a desert hunting camp in Afghanistan for about a week. Information on his presence appears reliable, so preparations are made to target his location with cruise missiles. However, intelligence also puts an official aircraft of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and members of the royal family from that country in the same location.

In fact, every time Bin Laden is targeted (there were several more instances), a reason is found to abort the attack. -- ZDN
