On May 15, 2001, on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" the following exchange took place:

Bill O'Reilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clinton is an honest man?"
Dan Rather: "Yes, I think he's an honest man."
O'Reilly: "Do you, really?"
Rather: "I do."
O'Reilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrer's face about the Lewinsky case?"
Rather: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
O'Reilly: "Well, I didn't lie to anybody's face on national television. I don't think you have, have you?"
Rather: "I don't think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, it's one thing..."
O'Reilly: "How can you say he's an honest guy then?"
Rather: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he's an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

BrassCheck
"Upton Sinclair did a beautiful job of documenting how the US newspaper industry works back in 1919 with his book "The Brass Check". The people who own the US news media are so corrupt and inherently dishonest it's appalling. Average, uninformed people sense it. They know the news is unreliable. They know that most journalists are lacking in integrity, but they don't know the why of it and how it all works. It's easy. Money. You don't print news that offends the owners, the owner's friends, advertisers or potential advertisers, and on the other side of the coin, you slant the news to favor them. You act like their PR agency. It's hard for the average person, who is basically fair-minded and trained to trust authority, to imagine such bald dishonesty, but every impartial person who's ever looked into the facts comes to the same conclusion."

   "A total of 37 journalists were killed worldwide as a direct result of their work in 2001, a sharp increase from 2000 when 24 were killed, according to CPJ research. At least 25 were murdered, almost all with impunity. The dramatic rise is mainly due to the war in Afghanistan, where eight journalists were killed in the line of duty covering the US-led military campaign, and a ninth journalist died of wounds sustained there two years ago. This was the highest death toll recorded for a single country since 1999, when ten journalists were killed in Sierra Leone. Most of the journalists who were killed last year, however, were not covering combat. They were murdered in reprisal for their reporting on official corruption and crime in countries such as Bangladesh, China, Thailand, and Yugoslavia."
   "Feng Zhaoxia, a reporter for the Xi'an, China-based daily Gejie Daobao, was found with his throat cut in a ditch outside Xi'an. He was an investigative reporter who wrote about criminal gangs and their links to corrupt local politicians, and had received repeated death threats. His family and colleagues believe Feng was killed for his work as a journalist, but police ruled his death a suicide. Petitions to reopen the case have received no response."

   "There's different levels of journalism; I'll concede that. One of my competitors is Salon Magazine Online, who I understand is the president's favorite website. And there's a reporter there, Jonathan Broder. He was fired for plagiarism from the Chicago Tribune. And I read that in the Weekly Standard. But do I believe it? Because as much as I love the Weekly Standard, they have had to settle a big one with Deepak Chopra, if I recall. I heard that from CNN. But hold on. Didn't CNN didn't have the little problem with Richard Jewell? I think Tom Brokaw told me that, and then I think Tom Brokaw also had to settle with Richard Jewell. I read that in the Wall Street Journal. But didn't the Wall Street Journal just lose a huge libel case down in Texas, a record libel, $200-million worth of jury? I tell you, it's creative enough for an in-depth piece in The New Republic. But I fear people would think it was made up."

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting published this article, titled "Newsweek: Hail to the Chief", on November 30, 2001:
   "If there's a propaganda hall of fame, Newsweek has surely earned a place in it with its interview with George W. and Laura Bush (12/3/01)."
   "Written by Newsweek senior editor Howard Fineman and White House correspondent Martha Brant, the profile of the Bushes focuses relentlessly positive attention on the "First Couple's" emotional responses to the September 11 attacks. New details about atrocities by US-backed forces in Afghanistan are emerging daily, but the central question in the Newsweek exclusive was: "From where does George W. Bush — or Laura, for that matter — draw the strength for this grand mission, the ambitious aim of which is nothing less than to 'rid the world of evildoers'?"
   "Faith, prayer, and love of family are the article's main themes, with almost no space devoted to political questions. "The First Team has been exemplary in the eyes of the American people," declared Newsweek. Bush "has been a model of unblinking, eyes-on-the-prize decisiveness. His basic military strategy... has proved astute. He has been eloquent in public, commanding in private. He had survived the first blows, made the right calls and exceeded expectations — again."
   "Bush isn't just a man of the mind, though. "Another source of strength," noted the magazine, "is physical conditioning." According to Newsweek, Bush "is in the best shape of his life, a fighting machine who has dropped 15 pounds and cut his time in the mile to seven minutes... He feels destined to win — and to serve."
   "The magazine was also thorough in addressing — and dismissing — facts about Bush that might be perceived as flaws. The president doesn't read many books, Newsweek explained, because "he's busy making history, but doesn't look back at his own, or the world's... Bush would rather look forward than backward. It's the way he's built."
   "The toughest questions were philosophical. "Do you think that Saddam Hussein is evil and that we should expand this to Iraq?," asked Newsweek. Noting that Bush answered without using the word evil, the magazine followed up with, "Why wouldn't you say he's evil then?", to which Bush replied simply: "He ain't good." Showing a diligence unmatched elsewhere in the interview, the reporters asked once again why he stopped short of using the word. A beleaguered Bush gave in, saying, "maybe because you're trying to force me to say it, and I'm stubborn... He is evil. Saddam's evil."
   "Newsweek says that the White House spin machine had nothing to do with their portrayal of Bush. In this interview, wrote Newsweek, "there were few mangled sentences. The handlers at the table were listening, not handling." Maybe that's because Newsweek was doing their job for them."
   "In times of war and crisis, it is doubly important that media aggressively seek truth and report it to the public. For a major newsweekly to turn an exclusive interview with the president into a puff piece would be disappointing under any circumstances, but it is particularly so at a time when the US government is taking extreme measures to cloak controversial military and law enforcement actions in secrecy, both at home and abroad."

Make Them Accountable
"The obscure but decisive factor of the 2000 presidential election was the issue of concentration of power in broadcasting. The huge conglomerates that own the networks and the big city newspapers desperately wanted to eliminate the federal regulation prohibiting one corporation from owning both the broadcast stations and the newspapers in a city. Al Gore and the Democratic Party supported the existing regulation, which was enacted to prevent a corporation from gaining a monopoly on a city's media. George W. Bush and the Republican party supported repealing the regulation, which would mean hundreds of billions of dollars in profits to the big media companies."

   "For all their economic clout and cultural sway, the ten great multinationals profiled in our latest chart — AOL Time Warner, Disney, General Electric, News Corporation, Viacom, Vivendi, Sony, Bertelsmann, AT&T and Liberty Media — rule the cosmos only at the moment. The media cartel that keeps us fully entertained and permanently half informed is always growing here and shriveling there, with certain of its members bulking up while others slowly fall apart or get digested whole. But while the players tend to come and go — always with a few exceptions — the overall Leviathan itself keeps getting bigger, louder, brighter, forever taking up more time and space, in every street, in countless homes, in every other head."
   "In short, the news divisions of the media cartel appear to work against the public interest — and for their parent companies, their advertisers and the Bush Administration. The situation is completely un-American. It is the purpose of the press to help us run the state, and not the other way around. As citizens of a democracy, we have the right and obligation to be well aware of what is happening, both in "the homeland" and the wider world. Without such knowledge we cannot be both secure and free. We therefore must take steps to liberate the media from oligopoly, so as to make the government our own."

Gergory Palast
   "The New York Times did a story about how gold mining companies out of Nevada have tremendous influence over the Bush administration. Nowhere in the story did they mention that George Bush Sr. was on the board of the biggest gold mining company in Nevada. They didn't mention the name of the company. Here they are doing a story on gold mining in Nevada and they don't mention the name of overwhelmingly the biggest company in Nevada, which by the way is called Barrick. And it had on its advisory George Bush Sr. It left out the name of the company and the fact it had on its board a former president."
   "How did that happen? I can tell you because that company sued my paper when I ran a story, and I have the same lawyer as The New York Times. You can bet that the New York Times figured out it was going to cost them money or create controversy. God forbid you create controversy; that would be considered disastrous in a news room. When you get a letter from a lawyer who says we disagree, the story gets blocked. The Globe and Mail, which is the number one paper in Canada, was going to run the story. I was told that the top people in the Globe and Mail killed the story. So you have absolute direct corporate influence killing stories."

The George Seldes Archive
"Seldes published a newsletter in the 1940s called "In fact". It had over 150,000 paid subscribers which even today would be huge subscriber base for a newsletter. He was the first, back in 1941, to publish about the dangers of additives in cigarettes and the corruption of Congress and the scientific community by the tobacco industry. 1941. Over 60 years ago. He laid it all out. He also did very detailed research on the role Standard Oil, General Motors, Ford, Chase Manhattan, and DuPont played in building the Nazi war machine before and, in some cases, even during the war. The Nazis had "a friend at Chase", to take a line from one of their old ad campaigns. Anyway, J. Edgar Hoover, being the venal, mob-connected scumbag that he was, took a strong dislike to the independence of Seldes' mind and, in conjunction with the US Post Office and the military, drove Seldes out of business. If you were in the armed forces and were a subscriber, you got called to the local military intelligence office for a warning. Post Offices passed along the name of subscribers to the FBI, and FBI agents would actually show up at subscribers' doors and warn them about the "subversive" nature of Seldes' writings."

Subverting the Media is an essay by David Guyatt.
http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk/

"Until the 1980s, one company could legally own no more than seven AM and seven FM stations. In 2001, one company, Clear Channel, owns more than 1,200. Profit at many stations is promoted by stripping staff to the bone; some of these places have barely any employees and no local programming. They are computerized corporate jukeboxes, reverse ATM machines. Their broadcast day is filled with the canned and the bland, a puree prepared at a place far away. Now we have hundreds of radio stations creating a profit with virtually no on-air personnel and no newsroom, no Associated Press wire, no birth announcements, no obits. And not least, no coverage of the police, the PTA or the Lions Club and no high school football scores. Nothing but digital music, commercials, and profit."

The American Gulf War Veterans Association "was established with one goal in mind: To obtain treatment for those service members and their families who experience symptoms collectively known as the Gulf War Illness. However, there is more to this issue than meets the eye. As this investigation into causation has now progressed into the arena of possible exposure to chemical and/or biological agents, radiation poisoning due to the use of depleted uranium, and most disturbingly, the use of our fighting men and women as "Guinea Pigs" in medical experimentation, the AGWVA has now added a second goal: To obtain justice and compensation for all those affected by these illnesses. After serving their country, our troops returned home with an illness that appears to be spreading into the general population. Treatment is being denied, and to date there are no safeguards of our blood supply. Those responsible have passed the burden of proof onto those that are suffering and least-able to fight the enormous bureaucracy of governmental agencies that are more concerned with avoiding admission. America wants to know why."

Annie McKenna — Paperclip Dolls "might be described as a psychothriller involving covert government operations, mind control experimentation with children, Nazi scientists who were ushered clandestinely into the United States following World War II (Operation Paperclip), and a bizarre plot to develop the ultimate secret weapon, a Manchurian Candidate — a spy/assassin/courier who would not remember his or her deeds. The story, however, is nonfiction. It is a story about overcoming a most insidious type of child abuse — one that was sanctioned by our own government and which was made public in the 70s. What the public didn't know was that many of the unwitting subjects of mind control experiments, including the notorious MK Ultra project, were children."
   "My first memory of this type of training was when I was three years old in Germany. I was given a hammer and was asked to smash a rat's head. I can still hear the thick German accent telling me how ugly rats were and they deserved to die. When I wouldn't do it, my memory flashed to the Nazi holding a bunny, petting it, saying how cute the bunny was. If I didn't kill the rat, he was going to keep killing cute little bunnies. He then killed the bunny with the hammer to prove he wasn't lying. I killed a rat. Then I was made to feel guilty because I could have saved the bunny if I had followed his instructions sooner. A child will kill to save another."
   "I graduated from animals to humans at least by the time I was in grade school. One question I keep asking myself is how many people were killed so they could train one Manchurian Candidate."
   "Being a mind control survivor has had a devastating impact on my life. My career has had to take a back seat to healing which cut our household income in half. My husband learned he hadn't married one woman but an entire system of alters ranging from terrified littles to raging adults who hated men. I've become more or less a social recluse. And the more I remember, the more paranoid I become of outside reprisals. But knowing I lived the first 44 years of my life upholding an insidious vow of silence, I now vow never to be silent again."

"It is unprecedented in our history for a government to take advantage of both war and economic recession to fleece the American people. During the Vietnam War we got Medicare and Medicaid, and during World War II there were profit and price controls, not to mention unemployment falling to 1.2 percent. The Great Depression brought us Social Security and unemployment insurance. But the Bush Administration has discovered that September 11 was different: an attack for the first time since the Civil War on the American mainland, with thousands buried in the wreckage of a smoldering inferno as the nation watched helplessly. The American people were, and to some degree still are, in a state of shock. This opens up all kinds of opportunities for those who are unscrupulous enough to take advantage of the public's increased reliance on government to provide both physical and economic security."

Next to her body was an obscenity-filled letter threatening other human rights activists. The murder of Digna Ochoa — coming as the world was focused on a war against international terrorism — was a stark reminder of the political terror that was commonplace in Latin America in recent decades. It was the terror of shadowy "death squads" executing political dissidents who threatened the established order. During the Cold War, this terror often enjoyed benign neglect from Washington, if not covert encouragement."

"Recent moves to beef up intelligence gathering in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks have civil libertarians concerned that law enforcement agencies will entangle many law-abiding citizens and social justice groups in their surveillance missions. Intelligence networks are setting their sights on the Internet, which up to now has had no clear privacy guidelines. Under the provisions of the inaptly-named USA-Patriot anti-terrorism act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, and a number of other smaller law enforcement agencies are looking for ways to monitor the Internet and mine useful intelligence from it. And new technology makes it easier than ever to spy on the Internet. Although law enforcement and intelligence agencies claim they are merely looking for information to counter future acts of terrorism, the definition of "terrorism" is being expanded to cover non-violent groups that have traditionally used the Internet to marshal resistance to corporate-inspired globalization. Politicians are already painting dissent as "unpatriotic" and therefore somehow linked to terrorism. Meanwhile, a phalanx of software companies, consultants, and defense contractors stand to reap billions of dollars over the next few years by selling surveillance and information-gathering systems to government agencies and the private sector."

   "Since September 11, more than 60 Israelis have been arrested or detained, either under the new Patriot anti-terrorism law, or for immigration violations. A handful of active Israeli military were among those detained, according to investigators, who say some of the detainees also failed polygraph questions when asked about alleged surveillance activities against and in the United States."
   "There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks, but investigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance, and not shared it. A highly placed investigator said there are "tie-ins." But when asked for details, he flatly refused to describe them, saying, "evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."
   "Fox News has learned that one group of Israelis, spotted in North Carolina recently, is suspected of keeping an apartment in California to spy on a group of Arabs who the United States is also investigating for links to terrorism. Numerous classified documents obtained by Fox News indicate that even prior to September 11, as many as 140 other Israelis had been detained or arrested in a secretive and sprawling investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in the United States."
   "Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a working group that's been compiling evidence since the mid-90s. These documents detail hundreds of incidents in cities and towns across the country that investigators say, "may well be an organized intelligence gathering activity."
   "A spokesman for the Israeli embassy here in Washington issued a denial saying that any suggestion that Israelis are spying in or on the US is; "simply not true." There are other things to consider. And in the days ahead, we'll take a look at the US phone system and law enforcement's methods for wiretaps.

"After Amelia Earhart disappeared on July 2, 1937, enroute to Howland Island, an immediate Navy search disclosed not a single trace of Earhart or the Electra [aircraft]. In 1943, the fictional Hollywood film "Flight For Freedom" popularized the idea that Earhart's flight may have been somehow associated with prewar US intelligence gathering efforts. One historical document which has often been offered as evidence that Earhart was held captive by the Japanese is a Radiogram message dated August 21, 1945 from Weihsein Internment Camp, China, sent via the US State Department to George Putnam at North Hollywood, California. The text of the message read: "Camp liberated; all well. Volumes to tell. Love to mother." It was transmitted as "unsigned."

Read how diamond companies funded atrocities in Africa, and how child diamond cutters work in conditions defined by the UN as slavery, cutting the world's diamonds. Travel inside the forbidden zone of De Beers diamond mines. Learn what is hidden within them. Let the author take you with her on the world's most international of television investigations, and into diamond mines. Travel to Russia, to Arctic Canada, into the cutting workshops of New York's Fifth Avenue, into those of Israel, and of India. She will take you to the fantastically-rich Atlantic coast of Southern Africa known as "the Forbidden Zone" where they literally vacuum up diamonds and can them like peas. Learn how De Beers can make flawless gems from sewage gas. Learn diamond secrets hidden for decades. Be smuggled with her into secret diamond prospects in Australia. Find out how powerful directors of De Beers tried and failed to stop her film being seen in Canada and the UK, and succeeded in Australia. And also learn how a major American diamond mine was sabotaged so the US would not have its own diamond supplies. Read how Nazi Germany was secretly supplied with the vital diamonds it needed to keep the war going, and why De Beers was accused by outraged US government officials of sabotaging the Allied war effort. Read the evidence, and decide if this was patriotic. She discovered that De Beers was deeply involved in "blood diamonds" over decades, and that the average engagement diamond was cut in hazardous conditions, often by child slaves, and dug by workers living in hovels hidden inside De Beers mines."

"It is time for the world to move beyond weapons to achieve a new global security. Whether those weapons are airplanes full of people turned into murderous missiles, or cluster bombs and cruise missiles falling on unarmed civilians, they will neither end conflict nor achieve the social and economic justice that is essential for real global security. All violence creates a dynamic, which increases the division of the world into opposing camps. For thirty years now, Greenpeace has borne witness to threats that endanger our environment and peace. We have taken non-violent direct action in order to protest crimes against the environment and crimes against peace. We have sailed our ships into the front line to stop nuclear tests in the Pacific, and to prevent boatloads of plutonium waste from depositing their lethal cargoes. We saved whales from being hunted to the point of extinction, and ancient forests from wanton destruction. We have pointed out the terminal danger to our planet from the continued reckless burning of fossil fuels, and the poisoning of our air and our waterways from toxic chemicals. For thirty years, Greenpeace has spread the vision of a world that could be free from such dangers; a world that could be peaceful and secure."

   "The people of the western world have been trained to be good consumers; to focus on money, sports cars, beauty, consumer goods. They have not been trained to look for character in people. Therefore, what we need is education for politicians, a form of training that instills in them a higher sense of ethics than service to money. There is no training now for world leaders. This is a shame because of the responsibility that leaders hold to benefit all mankind rather than to blindly pursue destructive paths."
   "We also need education for citizens to be more efficient in their democracies, in addition to education for politicians that will create a new network of elites based upon character and social intelligence."
   "The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission — founded by Zbigniew Brzezinski for David Rockefeller — and the Bliderberger Group, have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens."
   "This is more than a war against terrorism. This is a war against the citizens of all countries. The current elites are creating so much fear that people don't know how to respond. But they must remember. This is a move to implement a world dictatorship within the next five years. There may not be another chance."

   "The predominant nationality of the terrorists was Saudi Arabian. Yet for political and economic reasons, even with the lack of cooperation from the Saudi government, we have ignored that country in placing blame. The Afghan people did nothing to deserve another war. The Taliban, of course, is closely tied to bin Laden and al-Qaeda, but so are the Pakistanis and the Saudis. Even the United States was a supporter of the Taliban's rise to power, and as recently as August of 2001, we talked oil pipeline politics with them."
   "The recent French publication of "bin Laden, The Forbidden Truth" revealed our most recent effort to secure control over Caspian Sea oil in collaboration with the Taliban. According to the two authors, the economic conditions demanded by the US were turned down and led to US military threats against the Taliban."
   "It has been known for years that Unocal, a US company, has been anxious to build a pipeline through northern Afghanistan, but it has not been possible due to the weak Afghan central government. We should not be surprised now that many contend that the plan for the UN to "nation build" in Afghanistan is a logical and important consequence of this desire. The crisis has merely given those interested in this project an excuse to replace the government of Afghanistan. Since we don't even know if bin Laden is in Afghanistan, and since other countries are equally supportive of him, our concentration on this Taliban "target" remains suspect by many."
   "Former FBI Deputy Director John O'Neill resigned in July over duplicitous dealings with the Taliban and our oil interests. O'Neill then took a job as head of the World Trade Center security and ironically was killed in the 9-11 attack. The charges made by these authors in their recent publication deserve close scrutiny and congressional oversight investigation, and not just for the historical record. To understand world sentiment on this subject, one might note a comment in The Hindu, India's national newspaper — not necessarily to agree with the paper's sentiment, but to help us better understand what is being thought about us around the world in contrast to the spin put on the war by our five major TV news networks. This quote comes from an article written by Sitaram Yechury on October 13, 2001:
   "The world today is being asked to side with the US in a fight against global terrorism. This is only a cover. The world is being asked today, in reality, to side with the US as it seeks to strengthen its economic hegemony. This is neither acceptable nor will it be allowed. We must forge together to state that we are neither with the terrorists nor with the United States."

"This new war might well be compared to the failed War on Drugs and the nearly-forgotten War on Poverty. No clear victory has yet been achieved over the misuse of drugs or the ravages of poverty within our own nation. Our prisons are overflowing with drug offenders, with no appreciable lessening of either demand or supply of illegal drugs, and our basic civil rights have been badly mauled. Just like those failed campaigns, the War on Terrorism for the foreseeable future will set us all on a costly course of restrictions on individual freedom, ever-more-centralized authority, and omnipresent fear. And where are the voices of those who would argue the merits of this new war? The airwaves and newspapers only ratchet the fear factor upwards each day, with little or no effort to hear the many thoughtful Americans who are asking themselves, "Do I really need to give up my freedoms in order to save them?" So with flags flying on the antennas of our gas-guzzling vehicles and love of country pulsing in our hearts, we march off to yet another war for oil."

"But Mr. Bush, I am most impressed with how you have used those who died on September 11th to justify your lining the pockets of your rich friends and campaign contributors. Your "Economic Stimulus Bill" — pure genius! You actually got the House of Representatives to pass a bill eliminating the law that said corporations have to pay at least a token minimum tax every year. See, most people forget that back in your daddy's day (when he was VP), thousands of companies were able to lawyer their way out of paying any taxes at all! Then a law was passed to stop that. Now you got the House to agree to give all these corporations back ALL the minimum taxes they have paid since 1986! That's $140 billion of give-backs ($1.4 billion to IBM, a billion to Ford, $800 million to GM, etc.). And you got this passed, all under the guise of "September 11th!"

"Later, on December 6, after hearing Attorney General John Ashcroft assert before the Senate Judiciary Committee that civil-liberties critics "aid terrorists... erode our national unity and diminish our resolve," I told my class that Mr. Ashcroft had bolstered my resolve to diminish his effort to remake our public discourse in the image of Pinochet's Chile — even if senators who were equally shocked, were too cowed at that moment to challenge such an un-American attitude. Surrendering the liberties that define the unique character of our nation will not help us to win the war on terrorism, I noted; on the contrary, it will only erode the constitutional foundation upon which the political strength of our nation rests. The Attorney General's defense of military commissions (secret trials) in the United States in 2002 — even to try suspected terrorists — is an affront to those who fought and died to protect our freedoms in World War II.

Isn't that just another way of saying we should "let" the patriarchal capitalist system continue to reward those already deemed "best" (and, therefore, most advantaged)?

The USS Liberty Memorial is "dedicated to the memory of thirty-four fine young men who gave their lives on June 8, 1967, defending the USS Liberty against a sustained air and sea attack by the armed forces of the State of Israel. During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died and 172 were wounded. The attack has been a matter of controversy ever since. Survivors and many key government officials, including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former JCS Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer, say it was no accident. Israel and its supporters insist it was a "tragic case of misidentification" and charge that the survivors are either lying or too emotionally involved to see the truth. Israel claims they mistook our ship for the out-of-service Egyptian horse carrier El Quseir and that we brought the attack upon ourselves by operating in a war zone without displaying a flag. Not so. We were in international waters, far from any fighting, and flew a bright, clean, new American flag."

This is a far more interesting — and realistic — tale than the rather prosaic, blood-drenched "love story" we have come to expect as standard Hollywood product.

   "A company known as Weeks Marine, Inc. operates the largest and most capable marine salvage equipment along the eastern shore of the United States. The Coast Guard requested assistance from this firm within an hour of the incident. By chance, the company happened to have its huge revolving crane salvage barge in the area. By dawn of the next day, this vessel was ready to operate. But it was never permitted to do so, and Navy salvage vessels were tapped to do the job. Also, AT&T had a state-of-the-art cable laying ship at the site within 24 hours. This vessel was equipped with high-tech underwater surveillance gear and even had a robot salvage submarine. But it too was pushed aside and never used. That strange decision delayed the recovery of bodies, black boxes, and debris six days waiting for the Navy to get on scene!"
   "In my May 6th, 1999 testimony before the House subcommittee, I recommended that the NTSB be reorganized and the current leadership replaced by individuals who are professionals in the field of safety and crash investigation and not political appointees.

He was given his job because of political connections and has no expertise in safety or crash inspection. I then told the subcommittee of numerous deficiencies in the government's explanation and also numerous failures of the government to follow standardized procedures in its investigation. Finally, I stated my intention to file appropriate criminal complaints if the final NTSB report — which is yet to be filed — does not adequately address these concerns. No public official, including the President, has the authority to conceal the details of a fatal attack by terrorists on the American people."

   "The official investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800 has left many questions unanswered. Working together and separately, both the FBI and the NTSB have been unable to determine what caused the explosion which brought down the plane. The investigating agencies have not accounted for an object reported by eyewitnesses as originating on the surface, about eight miles north of the plane's tract. The closest ship (2.9 miles) to Flight 800 has not been identified. The source for nitrates (possible explosive material) found within the center wing tank has not been found, nor has the identity been conclusively determined of a red residue found within the rows in which PETN and RDX explosives were detected."
   "...eyewitnesses describe a southbound object, with evidence of a near-shore launch, exploding at the plane. Over 100 eyewitnesses reported an object streaking through the sky that evening, 96 of whom followed it from the surface to Flight 800's altitude of 2.6 miles, where it ended in an explosion, causing the destruction of TWA Flight 800."

NTSB Destroys Incriminating Evidence
   "The National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, has secretly sent a large part of the wreckage of TWA Flight 800 to a Long Island junkyard for recycling. Millions of dollars were spent recovering the wreckage from the ocean and transporting it to Calverton, where the fuselage was assembled as a mock-up to impress the public with what a thorough job the investigators the NTSB and the FBI were doing. That was for show, but there was other wreckage that they didn't want shown. Journalists and private investigators were not allowed inside the Calverton hangar to inspect the bulk of the recovered wreckage, but even members of the official investigating team were not allowed into a special area where the FBI secreted items that they didn't want the representatives of the NTSB, TWA, Boeing and the interested unions to see. The fuselage mock-up will be preserved, together with one of the four engines. The destruction of the rest was carried out in July and August of this year. The recycler says that he had to pledge to keep it secret to get the contract. Long Island's News Channel 12 learned about it only recently. The NTSB claims that all interested parties were told what they intended to do. The parties who are most interested, those who have carried out their own investigations and are convinced that the government's explanation of the cause of the crash is bogus, were not notified."
   "The FBI was so nervous about what some of the recovered wreckage revealed that it would not allow non-FBI members of the official investigating team to see it. It was kept in a special room that only FBI special agents could access."
   "Major Fritz Meyer was piloting an Air National Guard helicopter when he saw TWA Flight 800 hit by missiles. Later he viewed the wreckage in the Calverton hangar and was struck by the heavy damage done to a nose wheel and tire. An NTSB official with him remarked that experts told him it was caused by a bomb. The "bomb" must have been attached to a missile. That was also evidence that had to be destroyed."

The Phosphorus-Headed Missile and TWA Flight 800
"The terrorist group involved, which gave advance warning of the attack to the New York office of the FBI, was trained in Syria's college devoted to terrorism (guerrilla warfare), and is additionally believed to be working on behalf of Syria. Basically speaking, Syria wants the US and France to back off from the pressure they've been exerting on Syria to give up any claim to the Golan Heights. Syria is sending out a "don't tread on me" statement. The group, believed to have fired the missile from a small boat off the shore of Long Island (and to have used a stationary missile launcher), targeted (and hit) the center fuel tank on TWA Flight 800. The initial explosion spread from there to the nearest fuel tank in the right wing, and blew off engine number three. An intelligence analysis of the correlated satellite and radar data, which pin-points both the flight path of the missile and of TWA Flight 800, indicates that TWA Flight 800 was taken out at around 7600 feet. A spectral analysis of the satellite data shows the missile was phosphorus-headed. The FBI has persistently lied about its knowledge that a missile was involved. The FBI general consensus is "we can't let the public know". The public would put pressure on the organization to do something about the terrorist threat — one they have no idea how to handle. So, instead, the FBI lies about the real terrorist threat, continues to feed the media false details (including falsified radar data), and in the meantime asks the Congress for more authority to wiretap ordinary American citizens and to put limitations on their access to cryptology."

Sabotage Explains Flight 587 Crash, Says Expert
"Federal investigators still have no evidence indicating that a benign structural failure played a role in the tail breaking off of Flight 587 last month, sending the plane tumbling into Queens, New York, according to AviationNow.com. But as National Transportation Safety Board and other safety experts wrestle to solve the mystery of the powerful forces that ripped the plane's fin off and then cast the engines from their mountings, one aviation expert said sabotage of the aircraft's left engine while still on the ground could explain what shook the aircraft to pieces."

Skolnick's Report features many articles by Sherman Skolnick, including his series of articles called "The Secret History of Airplane Sabotage." The following is from the Web site of the Daily Catholic:
   "In 1973, Mr. Skolnick wrote a book, "The Secret History of Airplane Sabotage", a heavily-documented book dealing, among other things, with the sabotaged plane crash in December, 1972, in Chicago, one month after Richard Nixon was re-elected President. Twelve Watergate figures died when the United Air Lines plane pancaked just short of Midway airport. Dead in the crash zone were Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, wife of the Watergate burglar and others linked to the Watergate affair. She had in her possession over two million dollars in valuables obtained by blackmailing Nixon on his role in the 1963 political assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Skolnick's group "liberated" the entire unpublicized file of the National Transportation Safety Board, some 1,300 pages of documented reports and pictures showing sabotage. Skolnick brought a suit against the NTSB contending sabotage cover-up. The NTSB re-opened their public hearings on the crash but continued to contend it was caused by "pilot error". Skolnick, who was the star witness at the re-opened hearings, demanded that the NTSB panel disqualify themselves, since most were financially tied to the airlines industry, and that the Rockefellers, owners of all three news networks, and major owner of United Air Lines, wanted the matter censored. The NTSB panel refused to disqualify themselves, and entered a whitewash report condemning Skolnick and his associates. Thereafter, Rockefellers' lawyers harassed the publisher so that Skolnick's book was stopped in the printing cycle, and no copies are now available."

Chemtrails "are large, multiple trails that seem to hang in the sky indefinitely, then slowly feather out and appear to turn into cirrus clouds. Some seem to be sprayed intentionally in geometrically-precise grid patterns. The official government response is that they're due to increased commercial air traffic. However, in the month after the attack on the World Trade Center, there was very little commercial airline traffic and virtually no private civilian air flights, but contrails could still be seen frequently over many localities."
   "Explanations for chemtrails range from their use in military communications applications to scientific experiments designed to control the weather. A scientist working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, who insists on anonymity, told Columbus Alive that public disclosure of the experiments is inevitable and may occur soon. He said that two different secret projects have been conducted. One involved cloud creation experiments to lessen the effect of global warming. The other involved radiation reflection off clouds in conjunction with the military's High Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska."
   "The scientist claims that the two most common substances being sprayed into chemtrails are aluminum oxide and barium stearate. When you see planes flying back and forth marking parallel lines, X patterns and grids in a clear sky, that's aluminum oxide. The goal is to create an artificial sunscreen to reflect solar radiation back into space to alleviate global warming.
   "In some cases, barium may be sprayed in a similar manner for the purpose of "high-tech 3-D radar imaging. The barium can be used for a 'wire' to shoot an electromagnetic beam through to take 3-D images of the ground far over the horizon," according to the scientist."
   "Ken Caldeira, a scientist at Lawrence Livermore Labs and one of the country's leading experts on weather modification, conducted the original computer modeling for the use of aluminum oxide to fight global warming. He says, "We originally did this study to show that this program [using massive spraying for weather modification] shouldn't be done," due to negative health effects. Caldeira says there are persistent rumors that the Bush administration will announce geo-engineering weather modification projects this spring, which he sees as "political suicide."

Earth Files is home to Linda Moulton Howe, who investigates some amazing stories, including the discovery of human skeletons and tools found in Africa that have been dated as being 70,000 years old, and the ancient city that was discovered in May of 2001 by a US Navy submarine (searching for oil), about 2,200 feet off the west coast of Cuba, under 2,200 feet of water. This ancient city, which has been found complete with pyramids, buildings, and roads, is believed to have been built around 6,000 years ago. As marine exploration technology continues to evolve, so does our understanding of ancient history.

Farwell Brain Fingerprinting is the work of Dr. Lawrence A. Farwell, who has "invented, developed, proven, and patented the technique of Farwell Brain Fingerprinting, a new computer-based technology to identify the perpetrator of a crime accurately and scientifically, by measuring brain-wav responses to crime-relevant words or pictures presented on a computer screen. Farwell Brain Fingerprinting has proven 100% accurate in over 100 tests, including tests on FBI agents, and tests for a US intelligence agency and for the US Navy. Dr. Farwell recently presented Brain Fingerprinting in court in defense of a man falsely convicted of murder."

   "Molecular nanotechnology is the name given to a specific sort of manufacturing technology. As its name implies, molecular nanotechnology will be achieved when we are able to build things from the atom up, and we will be able to rearrange matter with atomic precision. This technology does not yet exist; but once it does, we should have a thorough and inexpensive system for controlling of the structure of matter."
   "The central thesis of nanotechnology is that almost any chemically-stable structure that is not specifically disallowed by the laws of physics can in fact be built."

Dr. Leonard Horowitz
   "In "Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola — Nature, Accident or Intentional?" I explained how and why, at the end of WWII, the Dulles brothers, in support of Rockefeller alliances, arranged false Red Cross identifications for Nazi war criminals, scientists, and military officials to escape through the "rat lines." A couple of years ago, the New York Times carried a story that explained that Red Cross officials were aware of the Nazi atrocities occurring in the concentration camps of WWII. They said they were remiss in reporting their evidence. They omitted, however, the intelligence that the entire Red Cross organization was directed, from high above, by the same devils that directed the business dealings between the Nazis, I.G. Farben, the CIA and the Rockefeller Standard Oil Company from the rise of the Third Reich. No wonder, the New York Times reported in another article, much of the Nazi-stolen gold suddenly emerged in Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank."
   "In "Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola", you will also learn that the Laurence Rockefeller-directed New York City Blood Bank knowingly released thousands of pints of blood contaminated with the AIDS-virus, HIV, despite holding secret the oxygenation technologies capable of clearing the virus from infected supplies. After developing AIDS, approximately ten thousand hemophiliacs died throughout the United States, along with countless others around the world. Likewise, in 1999, CNN reported that approximately 500,000 Chinese people became HIV infected similarly through contaminated blood. Not to mention the millions of others who received the hepatitis B, C and herpes (cancer) viruses through contaminated blood, likewise preventable, but purposely neglected."
   "In my latest book, "Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism, and Toxic Warfare" (released June, 2001), Chapter 18 is titled, "Public Health Politics, Eugenics, and Population Control." Here I detail the Rockefeller family's and their foundation's association with the population control industry. They are currently moving to eradicate half of the planet's current population, including America's civilian population as well. According to the Rockefeller-directed Population Council of the City of New York, and its affiliate the Negative Population Growth, Inc. of New Jersey, the US population requires culling to 125 or 150 million people. That's about half its present number. And that, in a nutshell, is what "America's New War" on terrorism, leading to WWIII, is really about. Global population control and reduction through managed chaos. Using the standard Machiavellian practice of creating urgent problems, then costly solutions, America has been railroaded into what promises to be a long and deadly war..."
   "...I found it nauseating that Americans so readily gave their blood and money to the Rockefellers' Red Cross. If you are among the millions who made that mistake, chalk it up to simple deception. But for heaven's sake, don't do it again! Please donate directly to the families who have been victimized. That way your contribution might do more than aiding and abetting the enemy."

The Colin A. Ross Institute
   "There are many forms and degrees of terrorism. According to The Trauma Model, most, if not all, are rooted in childhood trauma, abuse and neglect, whether that abuse is perpetrated by individual parents, neighbors, and professionals, or by a culture as a whole. In the long term we cannot win against terrorists who hijack planes, if we harbor perpetrators of abuse in our homes, churches, youth organizations and medical schools. In the last ten years, more US citizens have died from child abuse than from the acts of terrorists. Where are the political will and the budget to fight against child abuse and neglect? When are we going to see a Presidential appropriation of $20 billion to fight that war?"
   "I hope that the events of September 11 will awaken us to all forms of terrorism, and that we will take decisive action against the chronic childhood trauma eating at the roots of the human spirit in North America."
