"The
people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of
the world are going to have to give in and give it to them."
Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. president
1953-1961
"I think
we're finding all over the world this hunger people have for
connectedness. Those of us who view the world in a holistic way,
seeing it as an unbroken whole, understand that there is an
essential interconnectedness which we all have. And when people
awaken to the pulsation for peace which is out there, when they
hear of programs that work to further it, they can get very
excited about it."
U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich on his proposal for 'Department
of Peace' legislation

"Ever since a 1995 uproar
about the CIA's
use of Guatemalan informants linked to torture and murder, the
agency has been required to perform 'human rights' checks on its
assets. Last week George H.W. Bush
criticized the restriction. 'We have to free up the intelligence

".....how could thousands
of spooks who supposedly had Osama bin Laden in their cross hairs
for a decade miss every single moving part? At some point,
when the nation has moved beyond grief and vengefulness, CIA
Director George Tenet and FBI Director Robert Mueller will have
to explain how the $10 billion-a-year anti-terror system
failed...."
Time Magazine 24 September 2001 on US

http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101010924/nintelligence.html
"[CIA] Director
Tenet [is] the only Clinton holdover in the Bush cabinet... Now
we are learning that, according to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld,
'hundreds of Taliban and al-Qaeda soldiers have crossed the
border and can regroup in Pakistan.' ....The real question here is: how could Tenet
and the CIA screw up yet again? ....Furthermore,
we are now told that CIA
has suddenly been given an 8% budget increase! This after their
massive failure to prevent - or at least warn us about -
September 11. And after already being given a supplemental one
billion dollars in late September....
How - with every satellite, overflight, radio intercept and
on-the-ground agent imaginable - could these criminals have
crossed into a country that's a supposed ally? Especially an ally
whom we have plied with money and debt relief since September 11?
The answer is clear: Tenet and his boys are fools. They are not
qualified for the jobs they hold. [or they know exactly what they are doing and we are the fools. Bin Laden has been let go before, nlpwessex.] The
Pentagon now admits that several 'high ranking Taliban leaders'
have 'paid for safe passage into Iran'! So now we have Pakistan
and Iran both harboring terrorists - one of President Bush's
central criteria for determining which nations are 'terrorist
nations'. What are we going to do about that?"

"...by the time
the third plane hit the Pentagon, nearly an hour after the first
hit, hard questions were being asked: how could this have
happened, why hadn’t air traffic controllers and the
military done something?... To double-check our own understanding of the
system, IEEE Spectrum asked an air traffic control expert, who
requested anonymity... Procedures
dictate that controllers alert the U.S. military when a hijacking
is known to be under way. The typical response is for the Air
Force to scramble intercept jets...."

"There remains
one question to ask about Sept. 11. What happened?... Marine
Corps Maj. Mike Snyder, a spokesman for NORAD, echoed Myers in a
Sept. 15 Boston Globe story, which stated: '[T]he command did not
immediately scramble any fighters even though it was alerted to a
hijacking 10 minutes before the first plane…slammed into the
first World Trade Center tower... The spokesman said the fighters
remained on the ground until after the Pentagon was hit...' U.S.
inaction was all the more astonishing because the same story had
Snyder admitting that 'fighters routinely intercept aircraft.' So
why were no fighters dispatched to intercept planes on an
extraordinary day like Sept. 11?.... Happily, the war against the
Taliban managed to push these questions out of the papers. For
now."

"The
attacks against the twin towers started at 8:45 a.m. and four
flights are diverted from their assigned air space and no air
traffic controller sounds the alarm. And no Air Force jets
scramble until 10 a.m. That also smacks of a small scale Air
Force rebellion, a coup against the Pentagon perhaps? Radars are
jammed, transponders fail. No IFF -- friend or foe identification
-- challenge. In Pakistan, if there is no response to IFF, jets
are instantly scrambled and the aircraft is shot down with no
further questions asked. This
was clearly an inside job....
Bush [Jnr]
doesn't realize he is being manipulated by people who understand

"Is it O.K. to
talk about the [US Presidential Election] recount yet? It wasn't
the right time on September 10th, because the University of
Chicago's National Opinion Research Center had only just finished
organizing the data gleaned from its meticulous examination of a
hundred and seventy-five thousand uncounted Florida ballots. It
wasn't on September 12th, because the news organizations that had
commissioned the study were otherwise occupied.... Maybe it'll
never be the right time. But what the hell. Let's talk about it
anyway.....it turned out... no matter what standard or
combination of standards is applied, Al Gore got a handful more

"The FBI's
investigation into the anthrax attacks is increasingly focusing
on whether U.S. government bioweapons research programs,
including one conducted by the CIA, may have been the source of deadly anthrax
powder sent through the mail, according to sources with knowledge
of the probe..... the FBI has turned its attention to learning
more about the CIA's
work with anthrax, which investigators were told about by the
agency within the past few weeks, government officials said....
The FBI remains extremely interested in the CIA's work with anthrax, with one official
calling it the best lead they have at this point...."

"On October 1,
2001, approximately two weeks prior to the first publicized
anthrax mailing, I personally delivered information to the FBI
that should have prompted an immediate investigation of
affiliated military-industrial and pharmaceutical contractors
that maintain intimate ties to BMI and the CIA - information and an investigation that
might have prevented the mailings sent more than a week later
from Trenton, NJ. In fact, as evidenced by Sunday’s report
in the Washington Post, this information still appears to be
actively suppressed, namely, the most obvious motives behind the
mailed anthrax was to fan fears, dramatically expand
pharmaceutical industry profits, and meet
military-industrialists’ and political objectives grossly
jeopardizing American freedoms and civil rights."

"Many of the
same American corporate executives who have reaped millions of
dollars from arms and oil deals with the Saudi monarchy have
served or currently serve at the highest levels of U.S.
government,
public records show. Those lucrative financial relationships call
into question the ability of America's political elite to make
tough foreign policy decisions about the kingdom that produced
Osama bin Laden and is perhaps the biggest incubator for
anti-Western Islamic terrorists. Nowhere is the revolving
U.S.-Saudi money wheel more evident than within President Bush's
own coterie of foreign policy advisers, starting with the
president's father, George H.W. Bush. At the
same time that the
elder Bush counsels his son on
the ongoing war on terrorism, the former president remains a
senior adviser to the Washington D.C.-based Carlyle Group. That
influential investment bank has deep connections to the Saudi
royal family as well as financial interests in U.S. defense firms
hired by the kingdom to equip and train the Saudi military. ..The
elder Bush is reportedly paid between $80,000 and $100,000 for
each Carlyle speech he makes. The company declined comment on the
former president's pay.......
A spokesman for former President Bush, reached yesterday, had no
immediate comment on his work for the Carlyle Group. A
significant portion of the millions of dollars U.S. companies and
their politically influential executives have earned in deals
with the Saudis has been through military contracts... "

". . .The CIA did not just
deal drugs during the Iran Contra era. It has done so for the

CIA Cocaine Smuggling Crack Epidemic
- 'Dark Alliance' - City Times Book Review
http://zolatimes.com/V3.1/Ciacrack.html
"The
often shameful role of the US press is a vivid skein in this
saga. The CIA's
intimacy with gangsters and drug trafficking is a tale that
courageous investigators have managed to unearth, only to be
savaged by some of America's most prominent reporters and
newspapers....The
ultimate irony is that as the CIA struggles desperately to redefine its
mission, it proposes to act as global cop, battling international
crime. The Mafiosi, Asian drug traffickers, and Central American
smugglers featured in Whiteout
would laugh uproariously at the effrontery by their old
comrade-in-arms in making this proposal."

Drugs and the Press'

"Starting in the late spring
of 1976 Teddy had wanted me to join her [CIA] operations from
within the ranks of LAPD [Los Angeles Police Department]. I had
refused to get involved with drugs in any way and everything she
mentioned seemed to involve either heroin or cocaine along with
guns that she was always moving out of the country. The Director
of the CIA
then was George
Herbert Walker Bush."

Bush claiming Executive Privilege in withholding documents
pertinent to the FBI's framing and jailing for 30 years of John
Salvati is an act of arrogance that equals or surpasses anything
done by Bill Clinton. Clinton at least did not originally

an active participant in a very serious pattern of criminal
behavior. Salvati was framed by the FBI to protect a criminal
associate of theirs and was kept in prison for 30 years."

FBI Special Agent filed a complaint last week concerning
FBI/Justice Department interference in and mishandling of
terrorist investigations. The FBI Special Agent, who wishes to

the complaint last week with the Justice Department’s Office
of Inspector General (IG) and Office of Professional

Thus ensues his exposure to extreme government corruption on all levels and the huge extent of this corruption as though there is another government behind the one which we think exists.

"Another example of the
complex web connecting U.S. and Saudi powerbrokers is Dick Cheney,
who moved from the Pentagon to the international oil business and
back as vice president last year. After serving as the elder Bush's secretary
of defense, Cheney
was hired to run oil-services giant Halliburton Co., where he
worked until he resigned last year to campaign with the younger
Bush. In 2000, his last year with Halliburton, Cheney
received $34 million when he cashed out from the company. Not
surprisingly, Halliburton's links to Cheney
and other Washington power brokers appear to have helped the
company's business prospects in the Middle East. Just last month,
Halliburton was awarded a $140 million contract to develop an oil
field in Saudi Arabia by the kingdom's state-owned petroleum
firm, Saudi Aramco, and a Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown

Saudis to build a $40 million ethylene plant."
