My husband, Rev. Ashley McDonald Buchanan, D.D. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/The-Truth-Ministries/
was obviously having a hard time because the ammonia level was too high in his body and I known that because his ammonia level was high the day before and Dr. James County did not even want to check it on the Veterans Day EVEN IF I INSISTED not only even if he was supposed to do so but also it was obvious that Ash was not feeling well at all.
When he sticked his chewing gum in the newspaper I known I had an obvious objective proof that something was deadly wrong so I went to hunt the social worker Lori Bobersky but she did not hear me. I told her my husband was a genius and that he would never do that if something would not be deadly wrong. The ammonia was so very high that it went straight to his brain because his liver could not manage it so he could not be rational anymore temporarily. So Bobersky asked him if he was OK and he replied that he was tired and she brought that without taking in consideration what I just told her. I known if you have too much ammonia going to your brain you could go to coma and even die so I was very much stressed out.
I was with him all day long and about 10:00 p.m. his preferred nurse came so I was falsely reassured that she would take care of him and went to bed to receive a phone call the morning after telling me that my husband was at the intensive care unit and that his ammonia went to the roof at 393. At 393 he could surely and certainly die.
This can not be a happy Veterans Day for me my Dear American Friends because of the bad treatments my Honorably Discharged Vietnam Veteran U.S. Husband received and I know fully well that the veterans in the U.S. are receiving a second class care to say the least and they are Guinea Pigs to say the worse and I tend to believe what is reasonable to believe of my whole experience with the VA.
- even the Congressman Ron Paul is saying they are receiving a second class care. I heard him in one of his videos posted at youtube but I have almost 1000 videos posted
so I won't dig it because I think the link above should be more than sufficient to prove my point.
So it is not a happy Veterans Day for me and you may judge me because I am not happy this day but I don't care anymore. In fact, I am about to disconnect and my heart might blow up because of the incomprehension of the folks because they don't understand the hell this Legal Educated Immigrant from the North is enduring and Heaven would be far better for me than that. Give me Liberty of give me Death

Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo! Answers.Very old article but good. My Dear Americans, If you won't fight against this National ID card you'll be in the same boat than me in May of 2008 and believe me, it is not really funny. Marie _________________________ Privacy US National ID Cards by May 2008 At large, the American people are still unaware of the issuance of the Real ID card forthcoming in May of 2008. This new national/international ID card, and its interactivity with national/international databases, can access our medical, financial, driving, Social Security, license(s), firearms registrations, and political status inside its high tech/little nano brain. In essence, it holds our private lives on a swipe-able card that is then privy to any organization,
retailer, or person requesting our identification or our money. In other words, our life histories accessible upon command from one 2X3 inch card. Having no choice but to comply, most American people will accept their new national/international ID card. It is my understanding that without the card, we will be denied bank accounts in the United States of America, a driver’s license, and the right to fly on airplanes unless we have been issued a Real ID card. One might imagine that global retailers might require the Real ID to purchase food and gasoline. Take a look at your current driver’s license. Check the expiration date. 2008 would be a good global guess. For those of us who have seen United Nations military vehicles in the United States, and who have also noticed convoys of military tanks being transported through the wilderness areas of our nation – the same areas that have been locked down and away from the American people via Biosphere Reserves and conservation corridors - we have realized for a great many years that, as one patriot stated, the “stage was being set” for difficult times on American soil – the key issue that mass media ignores at its professional finest. So, with stages being set, one must also look to the timing of the Real ID card, and to 2008 in general. Let us not forget all the other paramilitary systems in our nation, like the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, Citizens Corp groups, Neighborhood Watch groups, C.O.P.S. (Community Oriented Policing Services), the militarizing of law enforcement departments, and the many new for-hire corporations that offer private armies with weapons for
a price. And then, of course, there are the U.N. peacekeeping forces, which the American military has been actively involved with for many, many decades while, simultaneously and incrementally, our “leaders” have been closing our homeland military bases during these same decades. The professional timing of the Real ID card in 2008, and its mandatory issuance, brings to mind several forthcoming coincidences and issues. The collecting and databasing of all personal information of every American adult – coinciding with the CFR’s North American Community – and all global government infrastructures in place and play, one must consider the following: • How
are “domestic terrorists” determined and identified? • Who will be held in the Civilian Labor Camps on American soil? • What is the real issue behind the “identity theft” propaganda? • Why are the off-limits American wilderness areas crawling with secret military operations? • And why the mandatory issuance of an ID card that sums up every American citizen with one swipe? One cannot help but to almost laugh when it comes to considering how directly global intentions rest beneath our noses. So easy to see, yet so blindly the public goes about its merry and dull way. On that note, the Real ID card will ultimately seal your fate. You
will be a compliant and completely identifiable slave to the New World Order, or you will be its enemy – and your Real ID will determine which global creature you shall be. Therefore, America, let us not in-fight. The fact of our demise as free people exists no matter whose research is right or wrong. The stage is, in fact, being set for our nation’s conquering. The Democrats and Republicans have seen to this fact and have worked steadfastly to raise their one-world government. They knew from the beginning that people with property, firearms, and rights were their primary problems, or in other words, the people of the United States of America and other westernized nations. Our “leadership” is not what they seem. The public acceptance of the Real ID in May of 2008 seals the deal. It will be more than interesting to see which of our friends, neighbors, and family members will willingly sign onto their fate as new “citizens” of the global police state. Just keep telling yourselves that you voted them into office. So did I. As such, we have a lot of soul searching to do and very, very little time – about 21 months. Are we going to continue to allow our “representatives” to march off with this nation and our Constitutional freedom, or are we going to unite and reclaim OUR nation? Ignorance is never bliss. It is abject slavery, and this time, the enslavement is backed by a system far greater than concepts or perceived notions of freedom. It’s past time to do more than wave flags, wear patriotic tee shirts, hats, and pins. It’s time to serve through action and duty to this nation. Start an A.C.E. (Americans for Constitutional
Enforcement) chapter in your neighborhood NOW. Request an information packet (contactus@a4ce.org) and create your local chapter. It’s YOUR job and Constitutional duty to save our nation and to preserve freedom. We have been betrayed. For the sake of your children, open your eyes and act. The only potential answer is to UNITE for freedom and to command that freedom with one voice. Then, as a nation UNITED in knowledge, we can rid ourselves of our “representative” globalists. Now, please stop the bickering and bitching, especially of the partisanship flavor, and get to WORK. Global government is non-partisan minus the master-slave divide.

November 09 Alex Jones is a Scientologist according to my researches (check for example Lisa Ruby at libertytothecaptives) and according to Eric Phelps, a Jesuit. He is NOT a Patriot.I am not asking a dime to my co-sponsor. No matter what.

Married to a Military U.S. natural born citizen, can't even get her green card....In fact she has more of a right to citizenship than all the ILLEGALS.... ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ Alex Jones' Battle For The Republic exposes how the elite are using illegal immigration and pushing amnesty as a means of pulverizing the American middle class and ensuring that U.S. citizens, black, white and hispanic alike, are forced to sacrifice their freedom and sovereignty as America is sunk into a third world cesspool. The mini-documentary lifts the lid on how the backlash against rampant illegal immigration in America is a major concern for the
Bilderberg Group, posing a threat to their plans to lower the living standards of U.S. citizens of all colors and creeds into second or even third world status. What is the real agenda behind last year's massive pro-illegal immigration demonstrations and who is really behind them? Battle For the Republic traces the legacy of the movement back to the Plan of San Diego, a shocking blueprint for race-based genocide directed against blacks and whites in America. The goal is to divide America by bankrolling the Aztlan movement, an extremist separatist plan on behalf of Mexican Ku Klux Klan style groups like Mecha and La Raza to "reclaim" the southern and western U.S. states, in order to eventually merge America, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union. Battle For The Republic shoots down the myth that Mexico has any rightful claim to the south western states by carefully documenting the history of how the west was won, bringing it up to
the modern day and highlighting how the elite are using the enraged Mexican mobs as a weapon of conquest to slit America's throat and sacrifice its sovereignty on the altar of globalism. Hispanic Radio and TV stations owned by huge corporations based in New York spew hatred and division as Mexicans are radicalized and told that all their problems stem from the racist American middle class while ignoring the fact that the elite are the true cause of their misery, as taxpayers are sucked dry to fund welfare which only subsidizes the corporations that employ the illegals. Illegal aliens are being granted God-like status by the elite and given rights that super seed those of American citizens. The film highlights the case of a man who was assaulted and arrested by police for expressing his first amendment right
to disagree with thousands of illegal aliens marching in downtown Seattle, and how illegals who assaulted him and smashed his car were left completely alone while throngs of Mexicans cheered as an American was taken to jail for exercising his freedom of speech. "Now you're bleeding, what's it like now, bitch!" yells one illegal as blood drips from the man's face. Battle For the Republic ends with Alex Jones' infamous protest of Vicente Fox when he came to Austin to give awards to police for breaking federal laws by not arresting illegal aliens. Fox was forced to cut his speech short after Alex Jones bullhorned the truth about his role in destroying American sovereignty, making headlines across Texas.

Sent to you by Bond via Google Reader: Torture, Paramilitarism, Occupation and Genocide via SteveLendmanBlog by Steve Lendman on 10/25/07 Torture, Paramilitarism, Occupation and Genocide - by Stephen Lendman
On October 5, George Bush confronted a public uproar and defended his administration claiming "This government does not torture people." Again he lied. Once secret US Department of Justice (DOJ) legal opinions confirm the Bush administration condones torture by endorsing "the harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the Central Intelligence Agency." It also condones paramilitary thuggery, oppressive occupation, and genocide. This unholy combination is the ugly face of an imperial nation run by war criminals. That's the
state of things today. First, the practice of torture.
Torture as Policy under George Bush
In a hollow posturing gesture, DOJ publicly declared torture "abhorrent" in a December, 2004 legal opinion. That secretly changed after Alberto Gonzales became Attorney General in February, 2005 and authorized physical and psychological brutality as official administration policy. This continues unabated in violation of international and US laws that include fifth and eighth amendment prohibitions against cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in all forms for any reason. These practices been long-standing US official policy, nonetheless, but the mask came off post-9/11 when former CIA Counterterrorism Center chief Cofer Black (now Blackwater USA's vice-chairman) told a joint House-Senate intelligence committee hearing September 26, 2002: "There was a before-9/11 and an after-9/11(on the use of torture). After 9/11,
the gloves came off" and "old" standards no longer apply. They never did, and Congress knows and condones it.
Further, George Bush signed a secret September 17, 2001 "finding" authorizing CIA to kill, capture and detain "Al Qaeda" members anywhere in the world and rendition them to secret black site torture prisons for interrogation presumed to include torture.
As White House Counsel, Alberto Gonzales then wrote a sweeping memorandum to George Bush January 25, 2002 calling the Geneva Conventions "quaint" and "obsolete" and claimed the administration could ignore Geneva international law in interrogating prisoners henceforth. He also outlined plans to try prisoners in military "commissions" and deny them all protections under international law including due process and habeas rights. DOD Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was on board as well. In December, 2002, he approved a menu of banned interrogation practices that allowed
most anything short of what would cause organ failure.
A new book called "Administration of Torture," by two ACLU attorneys, contains evidence (from FOIA requests) from over 100,000 newly released government documents. It reveals how US military interrogators carried out abuse and torture orders from their superiors on scores of prisoners. The book quotes Major General Michael Dunlavey who had DOD responsibility for interrogations of "suspected terrorists." He and Guantanamo commander General Geoffrey Miller both told the FBI they got their "marching orders" from Donald Rumsfeld to use harsh methods at Guantanamo that presumably were meant for all other US-run torture prisons as well. It was also revealed that Rumsfeld was "personally involved" in overseeing the torture-interrogation of Mohammed al Qahtani. He was falsely accused of being the 20th 9/11 hijacker, confessed under torture, and then retracted his testimony
later as completely untrue.
Torture violates international law. The (non-binding) Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlawed it in 1948. The four 1949 Geneva Conventions then banned any form of "physical or mental coercion" and affirmed detainees must at all times be treated humanely. Its first two conventions protect sick and wounded forces in battle. The third one defines who is a prisoner of war and establishes "minimum standards" for POW treatment. The fourth convention applies to civilians and affords them protections during war that require they be treated humanely. All four conventions have a common thread called Common Article Three. It requires non-combatants be treated humanely at all times. There are no exceptions for any reasons and violations are grave breaches under Geneva and other international law that constitute crimes of war and against humanity.
The European Convention followed Geneva in
1950. Then in 1984, the UN Convention Against Torture became the first binding international instrument dealing exclusively with the issue of banning torture in any form for any reason. These are sacred international laws all signatories, that include the US, are bound by. No longer under George Bush's unconstitutional "unitary executive" authority power grab Chalmers Johnson calls a "bald-faced assertion of presidential supremacy....dressed up in legalistic mumbo jumbo." Condoning torture as official policy under it is Exhibit A.
In her important new book, "Cowboy Republic: Six Ways the Bush Gang Defied the law," law professor and current National Lawyers Guild president Marjorie Cohn calls torture abhorrent and violates at least two US laws - the 1996 War Crimes Act and 1994 Torture Statute. The US is also party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that guarantees the right to life and
prohibits cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
The 1996 War Crimes Act provides up to life imprisonment or the death penalty for persons convicted of committing war crimes within or outside the US. Administration memos from Gonzales, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, and David Addington supported dictatorial powers for the president and advised Al Qaeda and Taliban interrogators were exempt from torture laws under George Bush's "commander-in-chief powers." Cohn, in her book, explained "the Torture Convention permits no such exemption, even during wartime."
Yoo and Bybee also distorted what constitutes torture by claiming psychological harm must last "months or even years." Otherwise, it's just harsh "enhanced interrogation" of the secret kinds George Bush authorized in a July, 2006 executive order. They reportedly include sleep deprivation, simulated drowning, stress positions, prolonged isolation, sensory deprivation and/or
overload, beatings, induced hypothermia, and more that can cause irreversible physical and psychological harm including psychoses.
The October, 2006 Military Commissions Act followed, appropriately called the "torture authorization act." It gives the administration extraordinary unconstitutional powers to detain, interrogate and prosecute alleged terror suspects and anyone thought to be their supporters. The law lets the president designate anyone in the world an "unlawful enemy combatant," without corroborating evidence, and order they be arrested and incarcerated indefinitely in military prisons outside the criminal justice system without habeas and due process rights. US citizens aren't exempt. We're all "enemy combatants" under this law. Anyone charged under it loses all constitutionally protected rights and can be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment including torture.
Ironically, on the one year anniversary
of the Military Commissions Act enactment, Fr. Louie Vitale and Fr. Steve Kelly were both sentenced to five months in federal prison for opposing torture. They also oppose teaching it at Fort Huachuca, Arizona and tried to deliver a letter with their views to the base commander, Major General Barbara Fast, former head of military intelligence in Iraq. Both priests were arrested for trespassing while kneeling in prayer on the base driveway in November, 2006. In an appalling miscarriage of justice, the presiding judge refused to allow any evidence of torture to be introduced. He also ruled out discussion of the illegality of the Iraq war and all references to international law.
Relief from these type abuses are nowhere in sight as leading Democrats condone them and now assure extremist Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey's nomination won't be challenged. He promises business as usual that's bad news for supporters
of the law. He earned his bona fides as a US District Court Southern District of New York judge by ruling Jose Padilla, a US citizen, could be imprisoned without trial and held indefinitely by the military.
Padilla spent three and a half years uncharged in a 9 by 7-foot isolated South Carolina Navy brig cell where he underwent alternating sensory deprivation and overload and was denied the right to counsel for two years. Months of beatings, mind-altering drugs, and denial of medical treatment destroyed his mind, turned him to mush, and him easy pickings to convict on all charges without evidence he broke any law. Under Bush administration justice, we're all potential Jose Padillas in a nation where the rule of law affords no protection, and torture is the preferred means of social control.
Administration Outsourced Paramilitarism
The Bush administration believes anything government can do private business does
better, so let it. And that applies to the military as well with Blackwater USA's powerful emergence Exhibit A. Author Jeremy Scahill portrays the company as "the world's most powerful mercenary army" in his frightening new book about it. It describes a "shadowy mercenary company (employing) some of the most feared professional killers in the world....accustomed to operating without worry of legal consequences....largely off the congressional radar." It has "remarkable power and protection within the US war apparatus" with unaccountable license to practice street violence with impunity that includes cold-blooded murder.
A congressional report indicates Blackwater received more than $1 billion in mostly State Department no-bid contracts since 2001. It's to provide security services for US diplomats, officials and others once assigned to the military at around six times the cost and can be up to $1200 per man-day. With Bush
administration backing, it operates outside the law and Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and is immune from civil lawsuits like the military. Scahill calls the company the "Bush administration's Praetorian Guard" with "immunity and impunity" to do as it pleases.
Today, around 200,000 private contractors operate in Iraq. Up to 100,000 of them are paramilitary mercenaries from companies like Blackwater, DynCorp, ArmorGroup, Erinys, Triple Canopy and others like the Australian-owned Unity Resources that murdered two Iraqi women October 9. Blackwater is the largest, is close to the Bush administration, and is cashing in big as a war profiteer from huge continuing no-bid contracts.
The company was founded in 1996 by former Navy SEAL Eric Prince who's also closely allied to the extremist Christian Right. Blackwater came into its own post-9/11 and is now the world's best connected, largest paramilitary army. It
employs 2300 personnel in nine countries with 20,000 or more others on call as needed. The company also has its own 20 aircraft fleet that includes helicopter gunships as well as a private intelligence division and a 7000 acre Moyock, North Carolina headquarters Scahill calls "the world's largest private military base."
Controversary surrounding Blackwater made headlines after its mercenaries killed as many as 28 Iraqis in al-Nisour September 16 by some accounts and wounded dozens more. It was only the latest incident involving the company that has a disturbing history of instigating unprovoked violence and then falsely claim it acted in self-defense as Eric Prince told Congress saying his men act "appropriately at all times."
A new congressional account from State Department and company documents reveals otherwise. It shows the company has been involved in at least 195 "escalation of force" incidents since early 2005
that include previously unreported Iraqi civilian killings. In at least one of them, evidence proved Blackwater personnel tried covering up what happened with a falsified report, and the State Department made no effort to hold them accountable or order the company to pay compensation to the families of the victims.
Agence France-Presse reported on September 16 Blackwater personnel shot recklessly "at everything that moved with a machine gun and even with a grenade launcher (as well as from two hovering helicopters). There was panic. Everyone tried to flee. Vehicles tried to make U-turns to escape. There were dead bodies and wounded people everywhere. The road was full of blood. A bus was also hit and several of its occupants were wounded." Among the dead were women and children. A daughter witnessing her mother shot in the head and killed said: "They are killers. I swear to God, not one bullet was shot at
them. Why did they shoot us?"
Following the incident, investigations were launched that are little more than damage control cover-up. The FBI is involved as well as a joint American-Iraqi inquiry. Iraqi prime minister al-Maliki has gone back and forth on this one. At first, he demanded Blackwater personnel leave Iraq. He then backed down under pressure. He'll likely await the inquiry's findings that are out in part from Iraqi investigators, but again said he wants Washington to sever all Blackwater ties, remove the company from Iraq in six months, and have it pay each family $8 million in compensation.
It won't ever happen, even though early findings conclude Blackwater's actions were unprovoked, the al-Nisour massacre was a deliberate crime, those involved in it should be charged, put on trial, and the families of victims fairly compensated. The findings are similar to an initial US military report that one
Pentagon official confirmed saying Blackwater's actions were "obviously excessive, it was obviously wrong. The civilians....didn't have any weapons (and) none of the IP (Iraqi police) or any local security forces fired (on Blackwater)."
Investigations are still continuing, the State Department is in damage control mode, and an October 4 House-passed bill (not retroactive) just made US contractors accountable for felony crimes under the 2000 Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA). In addition, new operating procedures have been instituted to paper over the whole affair. Nothing, in fact, will change, however. Blackwater personnel will stay in place, none of them will face criminal charges, and things are again business as usual with the company's paramilitaries back on Iraqi streets after being banned from operating there by an impotent prime minister.
A sign of things to come came a day ahead of the
October House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Blackwater hearing. It was revealed the company's Presidential Airways subsidiary got a new government contract to supply aircraft, crew and equipment for flight operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Blackwater personnel may likely show up anywhere and currently patrol New Orleans streets for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) post-hurricane Katrina. Their presence is menacing everywhere, and they may show up soon in a neighborhood near you as the "war on terrorism" touches down at home.
Imperial Conquest and Occupation
Current rhetoric aside, even Alan Greenspan's new book admitted what's "politically inconvenient to acknowledge (but) everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil" and it was "essential" Saddam be removed to control it. Unmentioned was Iraq's importance that explains why Washington plans permanent
occupation of the country. The Middle East has two-thirds of the world's proved oil reserves; Iraq has the most untapped amounts of it; and it's the easiest gotten, cheap to refine light sweet kind Big Oil covets. The country is also strategically located between Saudi Arabia and Iran at the top of the Persian Gulf. That makes it a perfect site for military bases sitting atop an ocean of oil worth trillions of dollars and surrounded by lots more of it.
The strategy to seize it was simply conceived but hopelessly flawed - replace the "cradle of civilization" with a newly created free market paradise with all that oil as grand prize pickings. It's still up for grabs, but a huge supportive infrastructure is in place and still being built for permanent occupation.
By May, 2005, US forces were operating out of 106 bases around the country from an original 120 number of sites. They range in size from the huge Main Operating
Base (MOB) Camp Victory complex near Baghdad airport with thousands of US troops to others for fewer numbers called Forward Operation Sites (FOS) that are still major installations. There are also many smaller Cooperative Security Locations (CSL) as well as prisons and detention facilities throughout the country plus others for Iraqi military and police units.
A sign of permanency are four to six or more super-bases built and planned, the largest of which is the huge Balad one. It's the major Air Force facility in the country with its state of the art "Kingpin" air traffic control center (called the Common Grid Reference System) that divides the country's airspace into "kill boxes." The Army's largest logistical support center and secret Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJSOTF) are also there as well as well as thousands of civilian contractors in neighborhoods charmingly called "KBR-land."
Balad and
other major bases are enormous in size and on the order of small towns. They encompass 15 - 20 square miles with double runways as long as 12,000 feet, and Balad's air traffic operates round the clock and is comparable in number of takeoffs and landings to Chicago's O'Hare that along with Atlanta's Hartsfield are the world's two busiest airports.
In addition, they have their own neighborhoods and kinds of amenities found back home. They include department store-sized post exchanges, fast food outlets, movie theaters with the latest films, swimming pools, miniature golf courses, elaborate gymnasium and sports facilities, satellite internet access, cable TV, air-conditioning, international phone service and more. All the comforts of home including takeout pizza and Monday night football in the middle of a war zone.
Other major facilities are at al-Talil near Nasiriya in the South; the largest Marine base at al-Asad
in Western Anbar province; al-Qayyara, 50 miles southeast of Mosul in the North; the US military command HQ at Camp Victory/Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport; Camp Marez near Mosul Airport; Camp Cook north of Baghdad; and a new base near Irbil in the North. In addition, another new Forward Operating base is being built near Zurbatiya near the Iranian border to be completed in November. It's location is provocative as the centerpiece of a new border control surveillance, monitoring and logistical support strategy called "Combat Outpost Shocker."
Then, there's what critics call "Fortress Baghdad" or the "ultimate gated community" inside the city's four square mile fortress-like Green Zone. It's surrounded by thick blast-proof concrete walls, and to enter visitors must pass through up to eight checkpoints. Inside, security is intense and includes full body searches, electronic
scanners, explosive-sniffing dogs and every other human and high-tech measure imaginable for security.
The US embassy compound is there as well that when finished will be the largest in the world. It's Vatican-sized in dimensions and hugely fortified atop 104 acres, or six times larger than the UN complex in New York. Reports vary on whether 21 or 27 buildings are planned but their cost plus all facilities and perimeter security will top $1 billion. Construction is continuing, far behind schedule, it's reported to be shoddy, and it's already way over budget as predicted so the final cost remains uncertain but will be plenty.
The compound has everything - its own water, electricity, sewers, apartment buildings, swimming pool, shops, Marine barracks and will house more than 1000 civilian staff plus a large private and military security contingent. For the Iraqi people, it's a hated symbol of imperial occupation
Washington intends to be permanent, but it may in the end go the way of the Saigon embassy in 1975. That's where the last US Vietnam remnants were frenetically rooftop-helicoptered out of the country in humiliating drawdown defeat. It ended visions of permanence then the way history may one day repeat in Iraq.
Imperial Genocide in Iraq
By any estimate, the human toll in Iraq is horrific from all that happened after Saddam's August 2, 1990 Kuwait invasion. Four days later, Operation Desert Shield was launched. It began with US-led UN-imposed economic sanctions, large US and other troop deployments to the region, and a sweeping Kuwait-funded PR campaign to win public support for Operation Desert Storm that began January 17, 1991.
Before it ended six weeks later on February 28, US forces committed grievous war crime violations of the Hague and Geneva Conventions and UN and Nuremberg Charters. They included gratuitous
mass killings as well as bombing and destroying essential to life facilities that included:
-- power generating stations;
-- dams;
-- water purification capabilities;
-- sewage treatment and disposal systems;
-- telephone and other communications;
-- hospitals;
-- mosques;
-- residential areas affecting 10-20,000 homes, apartments and other dwellings;
-- irrigation sites;
-- food processing, storage and distribution facilities;
-- hotels and retail establishments;
-- transportation infrastructure;
-- oil wells, pipelines, refineries and storage tanks;
-- chemical plants;
-- civilian shelters like Al Ameriyya that was attacked February 13, 1991 by two laser-guided "smart bombs" killing around 400 civilians including 142 children;
-- factories and other commercial operations;
-- government offices;
-- historical sites; and more in a
willful malicious effort to return the country to a pre-industrial age and punish its people horrifically.
Lost was power, clean water, sanitation, fuel, transportation, medical facilities and medications, adequate food, schools, private dwellings and places of employment. Early post-war estimates placed the number of civilians killed at 113,000 (mostly children) according to the Red Crescent Society of Jordan. In addition, US CENTCOM commander, General Schwarzkopf and others, estimated 100,000 or more Iraqi military deaths plus thousands more killed gratuitously as they were retreating in disarray.
What then followed was 12 years of the most comprehensive genocidal sanctions ever imposed on a country as an act of vengeance and US-imposed imperial arrogance. They were first adopted in UN Resolution 661 four days after Iraq invaded Kuwait. They included a full trade embargo that crippled the country economically
but initially allowed in food, medical and other essential humanitarian needs. UN Resolution 670 followed in September, 1990 that imposed an air blockade and measures to enforce it.
After the war in April, 1991, UN Resolution 687 was adopted. It required Saddam accept cease fire terms and comply with Geneva protocols banning biological and chemical weapons. It also affirmed Kuwait's sovereignty, but it wasn't good enough for US officials who wanted sanctions to remain in force until Saddam was removed.
Later on, the oil for food and medicine program was adopted under UN Resolution 986 in 1995 but was hopelessly inadequate by design. An internal UN report in 1999 revealed it delivered only $74 of food per annum per person (about 21 cents a day) and $15 worth of medicines (about 4 cents a day) with vitally needed items banned or in short supply like syringes, anesthetics, vaccines, antibiotics and other drugs.
Everything with potential "dual use" was blocked - chlorine to purify water, vital medical equipment, chemotherapy and pain-killing drugs, ambulances, and anything Washington wished to deny the country punitively with horrific consequences.
Further complicating things, all Iraqi funds were frozen and administered through a US-controlled Development Fund for Iraq. In addition, UN Resolution 661 stipulated all goods entering the country had to be approved by a 15 member committee that included the five permanent Security Council members. Approval had to be unanimous with every member having veto power. The US representative abused his authority by blocking items or causing long delays in importing others. The practice became so extreme, on one occasion baby food was denied on the grounds adults might consume it. At other times, items on the World Health Organization (WHO) humanitarian priority list were blocked such as
rice, school books, paper, agricultural pesticides, medical journals and catheters for babies.
The results were predictable and devastating. Normal life was impossible and became a daily struggle to survive. It became apparent by the mid-1990s many didn't or wouldn't:
-- the UN World Food Program (WFP) reported 2.4 million Iraqi children were severely at nutritional risk in September, 1995;
-- in December, 1995, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said 12% of Baghdad children were "wasted, 28% stunted and 29% under weight;"
-- by year end 1995, FAO reported 567,000 Iraqi children sanction-related deaths;
-- by March, 1996, WHO noted a six-fold mortality rate increase among children under five;
-- in October, 1996 UNICEF reported 4500 monthly Iraqi children deaths from sanction-caused starvation and disease;
-- by 1999, the under five child mortality rate rose three-fold from 1989,
malnutrition doubled, and the entire young child population was affected;
-- UN Secretary-General Boutras-Boutras-Ghali noted how health conditions deteriorated dramatically by the mid-1990s, and by 1997 the WHO Director General said Iraq's health care system was systemically broken; in addition, malaria, typhoid, cholera and other life-threatening and communicable diseases were rampant.
These actions were committed willfully and are war crimes under relevant Geneva Conventions and other international law. They also constitute genocide under provisions of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide that "means any (acts like those listed above) committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the national, ethnical, racial or religious group (by) killing (its) members; causing (them) serious bodily or mental harm; (or) deliberately inflicting (on them) conditions (that may destroy them
in whole or in part)."
US administrations under GHW Bush, Bill Clinton and GW Bush are criminally liable under "the genocide convention" and other relevant international law. Up to the March, 2003 attack and invasion, more than 1.5 million Iraqis, including over one million children, likely died from the combination of war and economic sanctions. Two UN heads of Iraqi humanitarian relief resigned under them in anger and frustration with Dennis Halliday saying in 1998 he did so because he "had been instructed to implement a policy that satisfies the definition of genocide: a deliberate policy that has effectively killed well over one million individuals, children and adults" including 5000 Iraqi children monthly in his judgment.
To date, most members of Congress are mute on the Iraq genocide and continue funding it with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. Yet on October 10, the House Foreign Relations
Committee hypocritically passed a non-binding resolution calling the 1915 - 1923 Armenian holocaust (taking 1.0 to 1.5 million lives) genocide with a full House vote on the measure still scheduled for November in spite of waning support for it and uncertainty where it will go in the Senate.
Speaker Pelosi still backs the measure and in 2006 as Minority Leader pledged to support legislation "that would properly acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. It is imperative that the United States recognize this atrocity and move to renew our commitment to eliminate genocide whenever and wherever it exists." Today, Speaker Pelosi is mute on Iraq, Afghanistan and fully supports AIPAC's agenda and its top priority of war with Iran. She's not bothered by her own government's genocide that far exceeds the Ottoman and post-Ottoman Turkish Armenian slaughter during and after WW I. The data below estimates as many as four million Iraqis have
perished from 1990 - 2007, but speaker Pelosi's condemnation of it is nowhere in sight.
Dr. Gideon Polya is a well-published biological scientist who's book, "Body Count: Global avoidable mortality since 1950," came out this year. It "documents....non-reported (worldwide) avoidable death (s) of 1.3 billion people since 1950" including in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also published his data on millions of violent and non-violent deaths under the three most recent US administrations in articles like his October 7 one on Countercurrents.org. In it, he cites data on Iraq from the Lancet, UN and British polling firm ORB. His "Asian Wars" totals in Iraq, Afghanistan, Occupied Palestine and Lebanon are horrific, and, if correct, exceed any others published to date. A summary of his data follows.
-- Eight million total violent and non-violent deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon breaking down as
follows:
-- 70,000 "US-backed" Israeli-caused deaths in Lebanon from 1978 - 2006, 10,000 of which were violent killings "by Israelis" or their "surrogates;"
-- 300,000 1967-2007 Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) deaths plus another 10,000 violent deaths;
-- 200,000 violent 1990-91 Gulf war deaths;
-- 1.7 million 1990-2003 Iraqi sanctions-caused deaths including 1.2 million children under age five;
-- 3.2 million 2001-2007 US Afghanistan war deaths including UN Population Division data totaling 2.5 million plus 700,000 children under age five;
-- 2.0 million 2003-07 US Iraq war deaths including 1.2 million UK polling firm ORB violence-related estimates plus 800,000 children under age five from UNICEF data; and
-- 500,000 2001-07 opiate drug-related deaths resulting from the resurgent Afghan opium industry under US-UK occupation; the UN Office on Drugs and Crime estimates its output at 93%
of world production.
Polya cites the failure of occupying powers to supply essential "life-sustaining requisites" as a major cause of preventable deaths. He also notes his eight million estimate exceeds the Nazi-inflicted Jewish holocaust total of about six million. And he rightly observes that major media misreporting, denying or "ignoring of this horrendous, ongoing mass" slaughter is the equivalent of Jewish holocaust denial and doing it endangers security for "both....victims and....perpetrators."
There's no denying the toll on victims, but consider the cost at home post-9/11:
-- a nation with no outside enemies permanently at war and claims the right to wage preventive wars under the doctrine of "anticipatory self-defense" using first strike nuclear weapons even against non-nuclear states;
-- world stability and peace further threatened by the administration's abandoning NPT, ending Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty protection, rescinding and subverting the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention, deploying so-called "missile defense" for offense, and plans to weaponize space toward the goal of "full-spectrum (unchallengeable) dominance" of all land, surface and sub-surface sea, air, space, electromagnetic spectrum and information systems plus as much of the world's energy resources as possible;
-- a military budget hugely exceeding the rest of the world combined; The Independent Institute analyst Robert Higgs estimates the true FY 2007 budget exceeds $1 trillion with all defense-related items included;
-- a rogue government operating outside constitutional and international laws and norms with the Congress and courts criminally complicit;
-- an unprecedented wealth disparity in an omnipotent corporatist state;
-- growing social decay and poverty in the richest country in the world;
-- a
secretive, intrusive, repressive administration under a president who disdains the public interest and is a serial liar and war criminal;
-- condoning and operating secret torture-prisons around the world as a weapon of cruelty, vengeance and social control; and
-- a cesspool of corruption stemming from incestuous business- govenment ties that defile democracy and mock any notion of government of, for and by the people.
The toll in Israel is evident as well. Angela Godfrey-Goldstein is an Israeli Jew, based in Jerusalem, and the Action Advocacy Officer with the Israeli Committee Against (Palestinian) House Demolitions (ICAHD). On August 30, 2007, she delivered an address at the UN Conference at the EU Parliament in Brussels commemorating the fortieth anniversary of Occupied Palestine. In it, she noted part of the toll on Israeli society caused by 40 years of Palestinian repression:
-- around one million
Israeli Jews "voted with their feet and left the country;"
-- an estimate by some that up to 50% of Israeli youths refuse mandatory Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) service plus a "grey" Air Force refusal rate of around 30%;
-- a significant recent observation from John Pilger that "something (around the world) is changing. (There's a) swell of a boycott....growing inexorably....an important marker (may have) been passed, reminiscent of the boycotts (preceding) sanctions against apartheid South Africa" that led to the fall of its white-supremicist government; and
-- her experience working with "diplomats, politicians and aid workers in Israel and Palestine (shows) that, on an individual basis, there's enormous personal support and empathy for the Palestinian cause" because decades of abuse against them are intolerable and must end.
Push eventually will come to shove. We better hope it arrives soon. The world
can't wait much longer.

The Blackwater Massacre Out of control 'private' contractors terrorize Iraq by Justin Raimondo October 5, 2007
On September 16, as a car approached Nisour Square, all the folly and tragedy of the Iraq war was enacted on a Baghdad street. In the vehicle were two Iraqis: Ahmed Haithem was driving his mother, Mohassin, to the local hospital, where her husband worked as a pathologist. They never made it.
Instead, four armored vehicles manned by "private" guards employed by Blackwater USA moved into position and fired: Ahmed was hit, but the car continued on its path, out of control. When the smoke cleared, and the casualties counted, 17 Iraqis were dead and 24 wounded. The Washington Post cites one anonymous high-ranking
U.S. official as saying:
"This is a nightmare. We had guys who saw the aftermath, and it was very bad. This is going to hurt us badly. It may be worse than Abu Ghraib, and it comes at a time when we're trying to have an impact for the long term."
It's a nightmare alright, especially for the Iraqi people, who have long resented this "private" army of thugs and wannabe heroes, apparently subject to nonexistent rules of engagement. The Americans have slaughtered, abused and otherwise alienated their "liberated" charges before, and the Iraqis did little but bleat a few feeble protests: this time, however, the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki reacted with authentic anger. The Iraqi ministry of the interior ordered Blackwater out of the country, and, although the U.S. State Department initially succeeded in getting this order rescinded, that reversal now appears to have been reversed. If Maliki sticks to his
guns, the Blackwater massacre could mark a new phase in the war, one that bodes ill for the Americans.
This new phase was prefigured by what Seymour Hersh dubbed "the redirection" and made manifest in the alleged "success" of our alliance with the Sunni tribesmen of Anbar and Diyala provinces. As U.S. war aims in Iraq have shifted from stamping out the Sunni insurgency to preparing for war with Iran, the potential for conflict with the Shi'ite-dominated government has increased: that's why that anonymous senior official described the Blackwater massacre as possibly "worse than Abu Ghraib." The September 16 incident could be the pivot point leading to the previously unthinkable: a demand by the democratically-elected government of Iraq that U.S. forces begin withdrawing.
Ah, but they wouldn't do that – especially when their very lives depend on the presence of U.S. soldiers – now would they?
Don't count on it: after
all, they can always turn to their natural allies in Tehran to afford them all the protection they need.
As Henry Waxman waxes eloquent about how bad it is for the American taxpayer that we are "outsourcing" security for U.S. diplomats in Iraq to private companies like Blackwater – and caves to a Justice Department request that places the September 16 massacre beyond the purview of his committee hearings – we are in danger of missing the meaning of that deadly day. One has only to read the New York Times coverage – which is, so far, the only coherent narrative – to get a very clear sense of the horror and tragedy of our involvement in Iraq.
A road bomb went off in the vicinity of a "financial compound" where U.S. diplomatic personnel were present, and an immediate order went out to extract them. While one Blackwater convoy picked up the diplomats who were on their way to Nisour Square at the time of the incident, another
convoy moved into the area and diverted traffic. Blackwater officials have previously asserted that their personnel opened fire only when they found themselves under attack, but that account is contradicted by every available witness. As the Times reports:
"The events in the square began with a short burst of bullets that witnesses described as unprovoked. A traffic policeman standing at the edge of the square, Sarhan Thiab, saw that a young man in a car had been hit. In the line of traffic, that car was the third vehicle from the intersection where the convoy had positioned itself.
`We tried to help him,' Mr. Thiab said. `I saw the left side of his head was destroyed and his mother was crying out: `My son, my son. Help me, help me.'"
Bystanders rushed to help, but the Blackwater guards didn't let them:
"Then Blackwater guards opened fire with a barrage of bullets, according to the police and numerous witnesses.
Mr. Ahmed's father later counted 40 bullet holes in the car. His mother, Mohassin Kadhim, appears to have been shot to death as she cradled her son in her arms. Moments later the car caught fire after the Blackwater guards fired a type of grenade into the vehicle."
Why did the Blackwater guards fire on a car that was nowhere near their convoy until the weight of its dead driver on the accelerator drove it in their direction? No witness recalls shots being fired before the Americans unleashed their deadly fusillade. Yet the Blackguards and their spokesman claimed to have been under attack, possibly from Iraqi police. That's not how Iraqi witnesses tell it. Says Fareed Walid Hassan, a truck driver caught in the intersection:
"'The shooting started like rain; everyone escaped his car.' … He saw a woman dragging her child. `He was around 10 or 11,' he said. "He was dead. She was pulling him by one hand to get him away. She
hoped that he was still alive.'"
Why were the Americans firing indiscriminately into cars at a busy Baghdad intersection? This is the question Rep. Waxman dared not ask at his phony "hearing," and which needs to be asked anyway. The answer, I fear, is because if you're an American in Iraq, every Iraqi is seen as an enemy. After all, a good proportion of the population wants us the heck out of there, and believes attacks on U.S. soldiers – or "private contractors" – are entirely justified. In such an atmosphere, who wouldn't be trigger-happy, not to mention paranoid and driven half-mad by the ever-looming prospect of imminent danger?
The issue is not private contractors, per se, although the rules of engagement followed by the Blackguards are considerably more relaxed than those in force for the U.S. military: U.S. soldiers have been involved in similar incidents, and a lot worse. The point is that we are an occupying
force, and are seen as such by the increasingly resentful Iraqis: whether private or U.S. government-owned-and- operated, an army of occupation is going to meet resistance, and so we have. We are fast reaching a critical point – when growing resentment and even hatred of the Americans takes the shape of a demand for some accountability from the occupiers.
The official Iraqi investigation into the September 16 incident has been concluded, and submitted to the government: a three-man panel, headed up by the Iraqi defense minister, recommends the Blackguards stand trial in Iraq, under Iraqi law – an explosive demand that could lead to an open rupture between the Maliki government and Washington.
If ever Iyad Allawi had a chance to take advantage of an American- sponsored coup, surely that moment, if it isn't already upon us, cannot be far.
The rising political firestorm over the Blackwater massacre runs up against a
legal firewall in the form of an edict issued by Paul Bremer, former U.S. viceroy, that forbids US military personnel (including private contractors) from being charged by Iraqi authorities or tried in Iraqi courts. It was one of his last acts, one that put the lie to the American proclamation of Iraqi "sovereignty."
The crisis will come when Iraqi demands for justice collide with the reality of Iraq's de facto status as a U.S. colony. In the event of a showdown over this case – and over the larger issue of sovereignty – the Americans will either go to war with the government they hailed as the vanguard of the region's democratic transformation, or else pack up their gear and go.
I'm betting on the former. In a war full of ironic twists and turns, this would be the crowning example of what Chalmers Johnson calls "blowback" – the unintended consequences of U.S. government intervention overseas that blow back in our faces.
With one very important difference, however: it's hard to believe that growing tensions between Washington and the Shi'ite-dominated Maliki government, while unintended, were altogether unanticipated.
In their planned war with Iran, surely the best the neocons can hope for is a neutral – or effectively neutralized – Iraqi government. It doesn't take much imagination, however, to project the possibility of U.S. troops facing off against the Shi'ite party militias run by the parties of the ruling coalition.
How will our War Party explain this rather disturbing turn of events to their bewildered and war-weary constituency, which is, at any rate, shrinking fast? Easy. By that time, the image of a nuke- wielding terrorist-sponsoring Saddam Hussein will have long since morphed into a nuclear-armed, Hezbollah-sponsoring Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, bound and determined to wipe Israel off the
map.

They range from simple measures like wearing a hood each time you encounter CCTV cameras, using software that keeps you anonymous online and swapping supermarket loyalty cards with friends, to more extreme measures like travelling to an unfamiliar city and paying a homeless person to buy you a cellphone, and even generating your own electricity. But, even if some of these ideas are a bit radical for your tastes, the article certainly highlights just how
ubiquitous surveillance has become without most of us realising it. I think it also shows how, at least in countries like the UK, companies are more of a threat to privacy than the government.

For some strange reason certain people, both in civilian life as well as in the employ of the U.S. Government think they can do whatever they want to people and that there will be no repercussion to them for their actions.

Well, here's a newsflash for them:
EVENTUALLY everyone dies. We're mortal. We have a lifespan of X number of years on this planet and then our body dies. NO ONE escapes death! No one! As far as THIS reality is concerned IT'S OVER....and no, you can't take your nice house, your big bank account, your

You take NOTHING with you!
THEN, you get to meet your maker!
THEN you get to answer to Him for your actions on this planet.
Some people think this won't happen. They are simply deluding themselves of the fact that there is your body and then there is your soul. Your body dies and rots. Your soul goes back for the reckoning.
One way or the other you WILL pay for your evil behavior on this planet. There is no getting out of it.
Chew on that FACT for a while!

The FBI's Right to Threaten Torture via BOVARD by Jim on 10/26/07
The following op-ed is being shotgunned out today by the Future of Freedom Foundation.
THE FBI'S RIGHT TO THREATEN TORTURE
by James Bovard
A federal appeals court has concluded that an FBI agent must go to trial on charges he coerced a false confession out of a prime suspect in the 9/11 attacks. But the FBI still insists that its agent did nothing wrong. And the feds swayed the court to suppress that portion of a recent decision detailing how the FBI agent used the threat of torture to break an innocent man.
Abdallah Higazy, a 30-year-old Egyptian student,
arrived in New York City to study engineering at the Polytechnic University in Brooklyn on August 27, 2001. A U.S. foreign-aid program reserved and paid for his room at the Millennium Hilton Hotel, next to the World Trade Center. After the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, Higazy hot-footed it out of the hotel. After the terrorist attack, the hotel was sealed.
Three months later, guests were allowed to retrieve their belongings. When Higazy went to the hotel on December 17, he was arrested and accused of possessing an aviation radio. (A hotel security guard reported finding the radio in a safe in his room.) Higazy denied owning the radio. He was arrested as a material witness and locked up in solitary confinement.
Higazy wanted to clear his name so he agreed to take a polygraph test. FBI agent Michael Templeton wired him up for the test but then proceeded to browbeat him for three hours until he finally
admitted to owning the radio. Higazy said the FBI agent warned him, "If you don't cooperate with us, the FBI will ... make sure Egyptian security gives your family hell." The FBI refused to permit Higazy's attorney, Robert Dunn, to be in the room while he was given the polygraph. After the interrogation, Higazy was "trembling and sobbing uncontrollably," according to Dunn.
On January 11, 2002, Higazy was indicted for lying to a federal agent. U.S. Attorney Dan Himmelfarb declaimed that "the crime that was being investigated when the false statements [about the radio] were made is perhaps the most serious in the country's history. A radio that can be used for air-to-air and air-to-ground communication is a significant part of that investigation." The Washington Post noted that "federal officials paraded [Higazy] before the media as a terrorist." The feds never bothered checking with the U.S. foreign- aid program to find out
whether Higazy's story about why he was staying at the hotel next to the World Trade Center was true.
The prosecutorial celebration flopped three days later when an American pilot showed up at the Millennium Hilton Hotel and asked for the aviation radio he had left in his room when the hotel was evacuated on 9/11. It soon became apparent that the hotel security guard (a former cop who had been fired by the Newark Police Department) had lied about finding the radio in Higazy's room. The case collapsed and, a few days later, Higazy was awarded $3 for subway fare and released from jail. The FBI conducted an internal investigation and absolved Templeton of any wrongdoing.
In late 2002 Higazy sued, asserting that the FBI's coercive interrogation violated his Fifth Amendment rights against self- incrimination. Federal judge Naomi Buchwald dismissed his case, declaring, "[Agent] Templeton's conduct and threats as a matter
of law cannot be classified as conscience-shocking or constitutionally oppressive." Perhaps Buchwald believed that as long as Higazy's mother and sister were not brutalized in front of him during the interrogation, the FBI had done nothing wrong.
A federal appeals court overturned this decision on October 19, declaring that Higazy's case deserved to go to trial. The original version of the decision detailed the tactics Templeton purportedly used to get Higazy's confession. Two hours later, the court removed that portion of the decision from the Internet. The redacted portion of the decision (captured by bloggers before it was taken down) noted that the FBI agent admitted to knowing that Egyptian "laws are different than ours, that they are probably allowed to do things in that country ... yeah, probably about torture, sure." Thus, Templeton was aware that his threat would terrify Higazy.
The revised court decision
replaced such key details with the following mundane notice: "For the purposes of the summary judgment motion, Templeton did not contest that Higazy's statements were coerced."
The FBI has long taught its agents that subjects of their investigation have "forfeited their right to the truth," according to the ethics study guide at the FBI Academy. Perhaps, according to federal lawmen, it is a small step from lying to suspects to threatening to have their kinfolk tortured. The agency has done nothing in the nearly six years since this case began to indicate that the methods used in the Higazy case did not receive the full approval of FBI headquarters.
The initial Higazy arrest and release were landmarks showing how far feds would go to gin up evidence and headlines for the war on terror. The fact that the FBI approved of its agent's methods - and the fact that a federal judge saw no problem with the interrogation - are
further warning signs of constitutional decay. Keep your eyes on this case, because it could help determine how far feds can go to destroy innocent people.

Hi. My name is John. This is not my real name. I am using it to preserve a little privacy. All other names and events are real. I would like to share with group information of social significance. FBI had developed new type of non-lethal weapon which is able among other effects induces anxiety. They are using it against the US residents. I believe this type of non-lethal weapon unlike a police baton or mace poses a great threat to the civil society and has far going consequences for the humanity. I understand that it is hard to believe that such thing could happen in the US, the forefront of the western democracy. When it happened to me I was shocked, I was stumped, I could not believe it. But it
happened to me and turned my life into a nightmare. Using and further advancing this technology could turn the US into the worst type of a tyranny disguised as a democracy.
I want to tell how I encountered this problem from the very beginning. My story began approximately 7-6 years ago when me and my ex-wife won a green card and immigrated to New York in 2000. We came from former USSR where I worked as a psychiatrist. In the USA I started to work as a construction worker. We were full of enthusiasm to start new life here even if it was not easy. In 2001 I started to work as a security guard. Police officers, the friends of a building superintendent where I worked, knowing that I came from former USSR sometimes jokingly called me `John KGB'. One day when police officer Richard called me over the radio `John KGB' and asked what I was doing, I answered jokingly `I am developing operative contact with American policemen
inspector Mahony.'
I started to work for McRoberts Protective Agency as a fire safety director in 2004. My permanent work place was Jolly Madison Hotel. To my surprise I discovered that all my coworkers there considered me a former KGB officer. They asked me about it directly a few times, talked about me as a former KGB employee and joked about it I decided that my joke about developing operative contact with a police officer sounded too professionally. In the Skyline Hotel where I used to work my coworkers also considered me as an ex-KGB officer. I want to state clearly that I have never worked (and I am not working) for KGB or any other intelligence agency. But unfortunately back in my country I was too curious and had read a lot about surveillance, nvestigations, military special operations, marshal arts and similar topics.
In Jolly Madison Hotel some people didn't like me because they considered me as Jewish. Irony is
that I am not a Jewish. I am Christian with my last name similar to Jewish. A few times I was removed from Jolly Madison Hotel due to my lack of communication skills. I have never argued about that. Later, because Mc Roberts was shorthanded, I was put back to Jolly Madison Hotel but removed again. This happened a few times. In April 2007 when my coworkers stopped talking to me, I told the assistant front desk manager Mr. Mario Chiavuzzo that I would prefer to have good relationship with the people I worked with. I explained that I could not talk to the people when anybody wanted to talk to me. If the people hate me and don't want to talk to me, I can't talk to them. I told Mr. Chiavuzzo that the policy to ostracise me and shun down me from communication had been introduced by his predecessor Mr. Srdan. Immediately after this conversation Mr. Chiavuzzo met with the hotel undercover investigator Mr. Marko. The hotel management
decided that somebody from hotel employees leeks this information to me. My understanding was that they were afraid that I could file a lawsuit. I wanted only to keep the job and don't be bulled, but the hotel management perceived this situation as a threat to their safety and hired private investigators to deal with the issue. I started detecting surveillance imposed on me by the private investigators. In May 17 2007 I find myself under FBI surveillance which was totally different level of surveillance. I want to explain how I was able to detect the surveillance. As a psychiatrist and psychotherapist I spend many years in the psychotherapeutic groups (as a trainee, a psychotherapist) and became sensitive to the extra-verbal communication. I also have read extensively about surveillance, so it was relatively easy for me to detect the extra-verbal clues of surveillance by transferring my previous experience as a psychotherapist
into this new field. Once I started to do this, it became increasingly easy for me to detect the surveillance. I was gaining experience really fast. Because it is believed that regular people can't detect surveillance without special training, FBI started seeing me as an intelligence officer. At the beginning I wasn't afraid of the FBI surveillance and investigation because I am not involved in any kind of unlawful activity. I even considered this as an interesting adventure. I tried to explain the situation to FBI on June 1 2007, but as I was told by a FBI officer on duty that the agency could talk to me only at the certain point of investigation and that it is for FBI discretion. I believed that as soon as FBI fined out that I was not breaking the law, this story would end. Unfortunately, this didn't happened and at a certain point surveillance was turned into a special operation. Because I am a lawful US resident and a foreign
national, it makes easier for FBI to put me under surveillance and start a special operation. As many analysts write the provisions of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act of 1978 are very broad and even US citizen could be put under surveillance without court warrant.
Soon after I detected the surveillance imposed by FBI, I detected hidden surveillance camera installed in my apartment. How to do it I have learned at the internet. When illuminated by light at the certain angle, lenses of a hidden camera reflects light ( the same way as a cats eyes in the darkness or reflective surface on the road at night ) While working as a fire safety director and security guard I tried to do this in the Skyline Hotel. During my rounds at night I illuminated the sealing of the conference room with the flashlight and have seen shining dots of light reflected by the lenses of hidden cameras which otherwise can't be seen. This is the
simplest method of detecting hidden cameras; professionals could use other methods as well.
So, when on May 21 2007 I noticed a little bump on the sealing which wasn't there before I turned off light and illuminated this spot with the flashlight. In the middle of the bump I observed tiny dot of light reflected by the lenses of the hidden camera. These lenses were much smaller and harder to detect than lenses of the hidden cameras which I have seen in the hotel. They were seen only when I positioned my eyes and flashlight at the certain angle to the sealing. After 3-5 minutes or so, before I decided what to do, I heard somebody was running on the roof. Then I heard as somebody was unscrewing something and at the same time the shining dot of light disappeared. I have never seen it again.
I live on the sixth floor and there is a roof right above me. It was quiet evening, about 22.30-22.45. I was standing close to the
sealing and have heard each sound very clearly. At that time no one could work on the roof ( except FBI agents of cause ). Never again I was so close to find a material evidence of the surveillance. I can't compete with the professionals.
On May 22 2007 I noticed strange high pitched noise in my apartment which I have never experienced before. It sounded like hissing or whistling. Somehow it reminds me noise from ultrasound stain remover. However, this noise was very unusual, different from ambient noise originated from regular sources, appliances. Next day I also heard this noise, then for a few days it disappeared and appeared again. Since then I have this noise in my apartment. The noise could vary slightly in pitch and intensity. It is not loud, almost on the threshold of sensation. This noise evoke very vague and unpleasant sensation in the body. Depending on the pitch and intensity the noise cause sensation of
something piercing the eardrums, putting pressure on the head, causing malaise, tiredness and exhaustion, desire to live apartment as soon as possible. At certain frequencies this noise is moreunpleasant and could induce anxiety. When I leave apartment this noise and the sensentions disappear. I am divorced and live alone in my studio. I believe this noise and symptoms that I experience are the result of FBI special operation with non-lethal weapon.
I am not a specialist and do not know what type of physical medium they are using as the non-lethal weapon. It is known that infrasound could induce anxiety. But infrasound easily penetrates the wall and is hard to confine in one apartment. Also, I think that infrasound is not perceived like high pitched noise. What they are using might be low intensity acoustic shock waves with specially designed frequency of impulses. Intensive acoustic shock waves, for instance, are created
when a supersonic jet breaks sound barrier or during thunderstorm and explosion. They could cause contusion to the human body and destruction to any object on their way. Good example of low intensity acoustic shock waves is a cracking sound creating by bullwhip. This happen because the tip of bullwhip is moving with supersonic speed. Actually it is the first man made device which breaks sound barrier. Acoustic shock waves pulsing many times per second creates sound field which never occur naturally. They could affect the electrical activity of the brain and creates very nasty effects in the body. The most likely frequency range for this type of non-lethal weapon is very low (100-1000Hz) or extremely low (0-100Hz). All physiological rhythms (brain waves, cardiac rhythm, breathing and so on) lie in this range. All this considerations are just my educated guess; there is a little information about this topic in open sources. Another,
less likely option to consider is microwave auditory effect ( Frey effect ). This effect occur as a result of thermal expansion of parts of the human ear around the cochlea induced by pulsed/modulated microwave frequencies, which produce sounds that appeared to originate intracranially. Opposite to acoustic shock waves, microwaves are hard to confine in one apartment. Acoustic weaponry projects are intensively developing now. They use 33% resources funded by Armament Research Development and Engineering Centre, Army Research Laboratory designated to the new weaponry development. This is much more than any other projects could have.
To solve my problem, I send e-mail to the FBI on May 31 2007 in which I wrote `Dear Sir. FBI violates my civil rights granted by 4th Amendment. Every day I am subjected to inhumane and vicious practice by means of FBI special operations. All this occur because amateur sloth from FBI believe I am a
spy.' I also wrote few letters to public and judicial officials but didn't get any help. In letters I compared FBI agents to the pack of coyotes. I did it because I was angry and shocked. Now I regret about the phrases `amateur sloth', 'pack of coyotes' and I believe they could add element of personal vendetta to my case.
Accidentally, step by step I got myself into trouble. All facts in this story could be easily proved by independent investigation. But as I understand FBI is not going to investigate their own unlawful activity. We don't have another investigative agency to investigate FBI. I can't find material evidence of FBI surveillance and special operations and I can't compete with a team of professionals. Now it doesn't matter if the FBI believe or not in my involvement in spying or any sort of unlawful activity. Once they started this operation they can't leave me alone as a witness of their wrongdoing. They
will try to undermine my credibility as a witness and eventually eliminate me. Of cause they will cover my death, possibly as an accident. I can get help from nowhere. What at the beginning was a curious adventure turned to be a real danger to my life.
What they are doing is not only unconstitutional. It is simply evil. Today it happens to me, tomorrow it could happen to anybody. Orwellian brave new world was already born in the heart of American democracy.

- LETTER TO TOM BUCHANAN @ THE BUCHANAN CLAN

Dear Tom BuchananHere
is more fascinating, friend. I recently discovered that my husband's
ancestors were Knights of the Garter. Please read my two links below
carefully and you will see by yourself if you would check the first
page titled: Line of Wise. Only 800 years ago, they were LORDS, land
owners. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-.nv5DWs8erSpEGVZKpn.gCLG93gBjAe_?p=913 http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-.nv5DWs8erSpEGVZKpn.gCLG93gBjAe_?p=919
I
just don't know for now if it is on his father's side or on his
mother's side because both are possible since Ashley was descent of
U.S. President James Buchanan (maybe his brother? or maybe Mr. Buchanan
had illegitimate children, I don't know) and his mother was descent of
U.S. President Woodrow Wilson - it is what my husband told me and this
is really making sense since his ancestors were powerful Lords. So I am
waiting the U.S. Historian Eric Phelps to communicate with me (I met
him in person - eric@vaticanassassins.org ) to know the answer but I kinda want to do what I can to discover this in the meantime. I do know that to communicate with the Knights of the Garder is surely not a easy task so I need to make a very good plan IF it is possible to enter in communication with them. I
need help if you wish to know the truth and it is not about my mental
health. The way things are working with U.S. Immigration, I am a black
sheep (everybody - I mean everybody - is giving me advices like they
would think I am some kind of nut) because I just got what I needed
after 15 months to drive my car and I was 12 months without being able
to work and even 7 months without having a valid legal paper to do
anything in the U.S. I am tired of the black sheep's role and God knows
I am not worth that and I don't want my Ash to suffer all he passed
through with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, U.S. Immigration, VA
hospital and the last private hospital like nothing would happen.
Immigration from both countries broke our lives and our plans (forced
separation for 19 months when I don't even have a criminal record and
when in fact they were not supposed to separate a married couple
according to their own laws) and the VA hospital trashed his liver and
I have all the papers to prove what I am saying and since I got a
Master degree that proves that I am intelligent enough to know what I
am talking about. They separated us on Nov. 3rd, 2004 so I lived a
temporarily separation and as soon as we were reunited on June 16th,
2006 I was about to live the definitive separation on Dec. 5th, 2006
i.e. 5 1/2 months after.
I am extenuated because I am living
hell since 3 years and I am doing all I can to see my life to change
and worse case scenario, I'll go back to Quebec, Canada where I don't
need to "lick their shoes" to have the permission to go to work and to
drive my own car.
So my dear there is problems in Canada and U.S. Welcome to the New Word Order.

Here
is the email I sent today to the U.S. Historian Eric Phelps. I met his
family last week in Pennsylvania. I would love so very much to at the
very least publish worldwide what happened to Rev. Ashley McDonald
Buchanan, D.D. and it might help to know which side is the Wise family
because his ancestors were Knights of the Garder. (photo below) I am
aggressive enough (good aggressiveness) that I met the MP Marcel Proulx
and Joseph Soares the political advisor of the most important Minister
under Stephen Harper, Lawrence Cannon in person to make Ash enter in
Canada at least as a visitor without mentioning I entered in
communication with Karl W. B. Schwarz, one of the U.S. potential
candidates. It went nowhere because somebody lied to the Canadian
officials and I know who it is. Marie Buchanan ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Eric, my preferred U.S. Historian I know Ash's ancestors were Knights of the Garder. Here's my blog about it. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-.nv5DWs8erSpEGVZKpn.gCLG93gBjAe_?p=913 I'll send you a copy of the Line of Wise today but attached is the first and the most important page. Please
tell me Eric if you can help me to find out if the Line of Wise is his
mother's side or his father's side. His mother's name is: Hazel Ann
Morgan and his father's name is: Herald Dean Buchanan. They were both
buried in their family lot located in Savanah, Georgia. Mr. Buchanan
died in February 2006 and Mrs. Buchanan died when she was 48 years old
and she died when Ash was less than 20 years old and he was born in
1957 so she died around 1977 and was born around 1929. Like you told me, English & French people were very good collaborators at the U.S. Revolution and I am sure we can do something great together and that is one of the reasons why I came to see you in person even if I am not rich. My bet is it is his mother's side. Thank you in advance in Jesus' name. ysic, Marie Marie M. Buchanan, M.Ps.

- ASH'S ANCESTORS WERE KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER
-
I got the line of the Wise
with the old pictures in Ashley's belongings he decided to bring in his
car from North Carolina to New York. (he bring with him what was the
most important) Ash told me that his mother was the descendant of
President Woodrow Wilson and that is father was the descendant of
President James Buchanan about three (3) months before his death.
The Knights of the Garter (I can not upload the page number one of the
line of the Wise) are very powerful people and by the way the Queen of
England is their "leader". (sorry for the word leader, I know there is
a specific word for her) Ashley's ancestors were lands owners,
literally lords 800 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter
I hope to find out soon if it is on his mother's side or on his
father's side. I wish the border agent working for the Citizenship and
Immigration Canada to know with who she messed with...
Your ancestors were LORDS, OWNING LANDS AND KNIGHTS OF THE GARTER. You may have lands somewhere and you don't know it yet. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-.nv5DWs8erSpEGVZKpn.gCLG93gBjAe_?p=913

My dear friends, Tell

part 1 is Ashley. Literally found Ashley's twin - part 2 is his twin
from another era. Tell
me the truth since you are an outsider and I think most of you will
tell me that they are identical except this hairstyle from another era
and the only other difference that Ashley was 47 years old with a smile and this man on the picture is about 20 years old with no smile but looking a nice person.
I was sure he was Ashley because same nose, same lips, same eyes, same face, same ears and same body type but my friend who knows photography told me it can not be Ashley even if both are identical except the age difference, the face expression and the hairstyle.
Incredible
but true. I am waiting Ash's sister reply about the Wise family because
I found their genealogical line with the old pictures so they are
surely in link but I don't know how linked they are/were. The Wise
family have as ancestors the Knights of the Garter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter Thank you in advance for your reply and my
friend is not only a great artist but he knows very well about
photography and he is a eye witness that I did absolutely nothing to

FROM DOING A BAD JOKE BECAUSE I LOST MY CHARMING KNIGHT 11 MONTHS AGO. (check my 360 titled since I created it: Marie Loves Her Knight Ashley) I
will find Ash's ancestors for sure. What I do know for now is that he
is a descent of the U.S. President James Buchanan and Mr. Buchanan was
a 33rd degree Mason.
