As Benjamin Franklin said, "Either we all stand together or we'll all hang separately." "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance. And a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both." "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." "I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do
the things I wanted." "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." "When the people fear the government, we have tyranny. When the government fears the people, we have freedom." In loco parentis (Latin) In the place of a parent; acting as a parent with respect to the care and supervision of a child; acting with the power to discipline a child as a parent can. "People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction." "There's one born every minute." |

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITHOUT FREEDOM?! A note by the webmaster 
This site is more than just hype for a great book (Buy the book, dammit! Buy one for all your friends and family for birthdays and Xmas gifts! Donate copies to all your public and school libraries! Send them as "political donations" to your politicians! Stand on a streetcorner with a bullhorn and read passages from this book! Rent billboards to advertise this great book!). America, we have a problem. As you know, we do not have our Autobahn, yet. To make American Autobahn a reality, we must be proactive. This means more than mere "voting" (AKA gambling by "slot machine" - "the House always wins") or wishful daydreaming, since never has any American been allowed to vote for anything to do with speed limits or highway safety. The following information is for drivers and citizens who demand Freedom and refuse slavery—and are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent a full-blown Police State—before it's too late! This is not only an American challenge. Even the German Autobahn faces extinction as "violating" the oxymoronic "Free Trade" laws of the European Union, just as Germany's Deutchmark was replaced by the "Eurodollar" on January 1, 2002. Those at the top of the Pyramid Scheme who dream of absolute power are shooting for what President George Bush Sr—former "United Nations" (UN) ambassador, former ambassador to China, former chairman of the Republican Party during Watergate, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (US secret police)—officially called a "New World Order" in his State of the Union Address on January 29, 1991 (plus 17 other occasions). Adolph "Hitler" Shicklegruber (of Jewish Rothchild dynasty) first coined the term NWO in his NAZI Germany (NWO does not discriminate when it comes to theft and genocide). In other words, a "New World Order" (AKA "UN") is an unelected, unaccountable, world-wide Police-State dictatorship on the level of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, with a handful of multi-national Monopoly Men pulling the strings—and pulling US manufacturing plants out of USA to boost their profits, kill our economy, trade our British-bank "Federal" Reserve Notes for devalued "Amerinotes" (the US Treasury has been out of the money business for 90 years - and the United States has been bankrupt since 1933 when it gave all its gold in Fort Knox to the "Fed" along with a million-dollar indebtedness for each citizen) and wage war on the middle class (one way or another), all for the profit of their global plantation ($1-Billion-per-day is hemoraged by "our" US government to foreign bankers as INTEREST on the national debt). The so-called North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) merely creates a one-way "sucking sound" (as Ross Perot described it), otherwise known as NASTA - the North American Slave Trade Agreement, where the only grown in American manufacturing is in prison slave labor (and prevents Mexicans from needing driver licenses, citizenship, or visas). Thanks to the World Trade Organization (WTO met in New York City in January 2002), Communist China already has more authority over US "Free Trade" than the US Congress has (and sells us 83% of our "American" flags, manufactures Boeing airliners and made Walmart the largest multi-national corporation in the world). Ford Motor Company lost $5.5-Billion in 2001—so I guess they had better close all their factories in USA and move to China or Mexico, where governments have no environmental laws and no pesky minimum wage (and in China, no "voting" rights). A sad state of the union, unless your dream is to work in China or Mexico and live in a cardboard shack. Even US cops and soldiers are now finding out that their beloved pensions were stolen by their "superiors" and stashed in offshore bank accounts. (NYPD's pension fund lost half a billion dollars by the bankrupting and looting of ENRON, Florida Inc. employees lost 350-million in pension funds, Pentagon vets lost $3-Trillion in past 3 years thanks to ENRON's Mexican Jumping Bank Accounts and 6,000 offshore "shell" accounts—while the US president, vice president, half of US Congress and hundreds of state legislators were on their payrole - and yes, U.S. Inc. is just as bankrupt as Enron.)
NATO and UN soldiers are already "helping" our loving Pentagon prepare to shoot down US airliners and set up road blocks in USA, and even practice disarming US cops during traffic stops while US cops kill US soldiers during traffic stops. Try talking your way out of a speeding ticket with a "traffic cop" who can't even speak English, who doesn't want to learn English and who is aiming a machine gun. In USA today, COPS kill 1,000 Americans every year, including 1/3 innocent bystanders (according to AAA), and they are killing increasing numbers of off-duty or undercover cops. Just wait until "Homeland Defense" gets geared up 110%.... And, the next generation of electric Robocars will have mandatory 24/7 GPS tracking ("to control ze terrorism") and automated kill switches to control ze "speeders"—and everyone else that Orwell's Big Bully says owes him for our own "protection". Every generation gets to fight this battle and now it's our turn, but never has this greed been so close to reality. If the "Globalists" win, speeding tickets will be the least of our worries. Only Americans can stop them now—REAL Americans, not Fifth-Column traitors. Lest you presume I exaggerate, I dare you to read this page and think about what these experts confess. Remember that The Law doesn't call it "Rape" unless you scream "Rape!" and defend yourself to the death (700,000 American men are raped while in police custody every year—the same police who write traffic tickets), and as our governments are fond of ruling, "Ignorance of The Law is no excuse." I wish this were a joke. Welcome to reality. Print out this page or site and give it to every person you meet (for educational and research purposes—all other rights reserved). Spectating at Fantasy Survivor Island won't get the job done. Do your homework and learn your civil rights, then practice what you preach. Go watch Traffic Court or Real Court (it's FREE!) instead of paying $100 to get drunk and see a few spoiled brats get rich playing with each other. Ignore the Idiot Box and the Hollywood squares. Learn how to stand up for yourself in Traffic Court, even in Parking Court, because if you can't handle that pressure, what the heck are you going to do if you really need to fight for your rights someday? Give away copies of this news info per 17 USC §107. Email everyone you know about this website, since search engines routinely censor ("filter") many sites that read you your rights. Build your own website with links to American Autobahn to expand our bandwidth and prevent crashing from too many hits. Make sure every politician in your chain of command knows you by name because you're in their faces with email, letters, faxes, phone calls or office visits. Speak at City Council or State Legislative sessions to drum up public support, especially when they are televised. Do radio interviews. Start up a Community Access TV News show with topics like American Autobahn. (Then guard your back from the Thought Police.) Don't just dream it—Live it!

NWO and its "United Nations" armies have declared WAR on the United States - YET AGAIN. National parks are given to UN as partial payment on LITERALLY BANKRUPT US government's $1.5-Billion per day INTEREST PAYMENT on the bankruptcy debt. But unlike ENRON that bought over half of US Congress and ALL who work at White House, our treasonous politicians will NEVER allow United States Inc to wipe the slate clean and start over by "discharging" this debt ON ALL AMERICANS TODAY that's leftover from 1920s Depression, much less mobilize Pentagon armed forces to attack the NWO's international bankers working at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE to destroy USA. Every paper "Dollar Bill" is nothing but another Bank Loan from NWO's International Federal Reserve Bank. IRS is nothing but a Puerto Rican Corporation tasked as a Collection Agency using illegal ATF cops to Extort unconstitutional taxes from brainwahsed Americans as ALL US government Inc's LOOT Secret Profits from overflowing Wall Street investments. Foreign UN military forces are now working hand in hand beside police in USA or literally attacking and disarming US traffic cops as power of US military is wasted overseas or disarmed along USA borders. Law enforcement catalogs for US police offer official uniforms for United Nations infantry. UN controls USA's government school curiculums and censors ALL private schools and churches that claim 501C "tax free" status. NWO now owns ALL major "News" corporations that are no longer American but are Multinational with zero allegiance to USA. THE BRITISH BANKERS ARE COMING!

"Since Sept. 11, the kinds of words that used to be coupled in the same sentence with 'Third Reich,' 'Gulag' and 'Pinochet' have actually creeped into the mouths of mainstream talking heads. Some in Congress are beginning to wake up and smell the coffee, and what's in the air isn't too fresh. They see a growing police state being implemented. While people may fear a downward spiral towards brown-shirts and book burnings, the truth is that an American police state may show up in a Brooks Brothers suit with an impressive law degree. What really galls is how the Bush administration has treated the American people like children. Anybody feeling the water temperature rising? Water or coffee may not be the right comparison. Maybe it's smoke. Maybe it's the smoke of the Reichstag burning."

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

"The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated. If we cannot eliminate the causes and prevent the repetition of these barbaric events, it is not an irresponsible prophecy to say that this twentieth century may yet succeed in bringing the doom of civilization."

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise.
It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only. The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is bankrupt. Our children will inherit this unpayable debt, and the tyranny to enforce paying it. America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back your Country."

"This programme having been fully arranged and systematized, they put their sword into the hands of the chief murderer of the war [alcoholic President-General Ulysses Grant who led the slaughter of 500,000 Americans], and charge him to carry their scheme into effect. And now he, speaking as their organ, says: "Let us have peace." The meaning of this is: Submit quietly to all the robbery and slavery we have arranged for you, and you can have "peace." But in case you resist, the same lenders of blood-money, who furnished the means to subdue the South, will furnish the means again to subdue you. These are the terms on which alone this government, or, with few exceptions, any other, ever gives "peace" to its people. The whole affair, on the part of those who furnished the money, has been, and now is, a deliberate scheme of robbery and murder. If their object had really been to abolish slavery, or maintain liberty or justice generally, they had only to say: All, whether white or black, who want the protection of this government, shall have it; and all who do not want it, will be left in peace, so long as they leave us in peace. Had they said this, slavery would necessarily have been abolished at once; the war would have been saved; and a thousand times nobler union than we have ever had would have been the result. It would have been a voluntary union of free men; such a union as will one day exist among all men, the world over, IF the several nations, so called, shall ever get rid of the usurpers, robbers, and murderers, called governments, that now plunder, enslave, and destroy them. Still another of the frauds of these men is, that they are now establishing, and that the war was designed to establish, "a government of consent." The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this-that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot. This idea was the dominant one on which the war was carried on; and it is the dominant one, now that we have got what is called peace. The lesson taught by all these facts is this: As long as mankind continue to pay "national debts," so-called-that is, so long as they are such dupes and cowards as to pay for being cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered-so long there will be enough to lend the money for those purposes; and with that money a plenty of tools, called soldiers, can be hired to keep them in subjection. But when they refuse any longer to pay for being thus cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered, they will cease to have cheats, and usurpers, and robbers, and murderers and blood-money loan-mongers for masters."
–Lysander Spooner, Esquire, "No Treason" (1879)
"In the Ancient world, order meant empire. Those within the empire had order, culture and civilisation. Outside it lay barbarians, chaos and disorder. We have two new types of state. First, there are pre-modern states - often former colonies. The postmodern system in which we Europeans live does not rely on balance; nor does it emphasise sovereignty or the separation of domestic and foreign affairs. The postmodern world has to start to get used to double standards. Among ourselves, we operate on the basis of laws and open cooperative security. But, when dealing with old-fashioned states outside the postmodern continent of Europe, we need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary to deal with those who still live in the nineteenth century world of every state for itself. Among ourselves, we keep the law but when we are operating in the jungle, we must also use the laws of the jungle. What is needed is a new kind of imperialism, one compatible with human rights and cosmopolitan values: an imperialism which aims to bring order and organisation. We already have voluntary imperialism of the global economy through institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank. The international community provides not just soldiers but police, judges, prison officers, bankers and others, as well as monitoring and organising elections. Like Rome, this commonwealth would provide its citizens with some of its laws, some coins and the occasional road."
—Robert Cooper, foreign affairs adviser to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, London Guardian, "Why we still need empires," 7 April 2002 ('Reordering the World: the long-term implications of September 11', published by The Foreign Policy Centre - www.fpc.org.uk)
CAFR's prove Americans should (1) never pay taxes again, (2) police should never be funded by traffic tickets and illegal quotas, (3) highways are already funded by fuel tax, and that, (4) city, county, state and federal corporations (so-called "governments") should pay each American over $10,000 annual dividend from the interest, plus back payments and interest! Paying tax is literally paying a bankruptcy creditor for DEBTS of an EMPLOYER that a person is "employed" by under "contract" ("driver license" originally only applied to commercial truck drivers). DEFINITION OF INSANITY - Anyone who volunteers to (1) pay the bankruptcy debt for an employer, (2) waivers his or her paycheck forever, (3) donates all corporate stock back to the corporation, and (4) turns down all pension paychecks.

Motorsports Hall of Famer Craig Breedlove and crew will attempt to regain the World Land Speed Record for the United States. The current record is British held at 763 mph. The sleek Spirit of America™ car is powered by a J-79 turbo-jet engine--the same engine used in the famous F-4 Phantom, and puts out an impressive 24,000 pounds of thrust. This gives the 9,000 pound car a thrust to weight ratio better than most modern fighter planes.

The SOA Merchandise Store will have our new "850 MPH Speed Limit" Sign! Enter our new montly drawing to win a Spirit of America Tshirt. Once a month we will draw a name from our list and choose a winner. Winners will be announced here on the home page! In 1959, he paid $500 for a military surplus J-47 engine and began building his first "Spirit of America". Breedlove clocked a record run of 407 mph in this car at Bonneville in 1963 to return the world land speed record to America after more than three decades. The record of 600.601 in 1965 made Breedlove the first man to break the 400, 500 and 600 mph barriers on land. The standard has been in British hands since October 1983, when Richard Noble streaked across the Black Rock Desert 100 miles north of Reno at 633.47 mph (Bonneville Dry Lake is dead due to salt mining). Noble handed over the keys last year to Green, his protege from the Royal Air Force. Britain's Andy Green has held the current record of 763 since October of 1997. Breedlove plans to reclaim the record soon with a run of 800 miles per hour that would far exceed the minimum 771 mph run needed to break Green's existing mark. For Breedlove, the sensation of such speed is incredible. What's the acceleration like? "Breathing is difficult, as my body is forced into the seat. When the chute hits, my equilibrium is momentarily altered giving the sensation of driving straight down a wall. I'm sitting six inches off of the ground, going faster than a bullet," said Breedlove. "It is quite a rush." Montana Autobahn Gets a New Speed Limit for FreemenDeath and destruction are the predictable result.

NAFTA CANAMEX Highways: Senate Joint Resolution No. 13 FILE NUMBER 126Whereas, The point at which U.S. Route 93 crosses the Hoover Dam on the border of the states of Nevada and Arizona is the major commercial corridor between Nevada and Arizona, the major commercial corridor between the states of Arizona and Utah and is on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) "CANAMEX" route between Mexico and Canada; and Whereas, Presently, this portion of the highway is one of the most congested sections of two-lane highway in the country with continual traffic each day of approximately 1,500 trucks and buses and 12,427 cars, and drivers often cross the double yellow line into oncoming traffic in an attempt to negotiate the serpentine curves; and Whereas, Other alternative commercial routes between Arizona and the states to the north are through California, an additional distance of more than 250 miles and the other northbound highways are also more unsuitable for this amount of traffic than the present U.S. Route 93; and Whereas, The traffic congestion caused by the inadequacy of the highway across Hoover Dam imposes serious economic burdens on the states of Nevada, Arizona and Utah and interferes with commerce on the vital "CANAMEX" corridor; and Whereas, The traffic on the existing highway has increased many times since it was opened 60 years ago and is expected to increase by 50 percent in the next 10 years; and Whereas, U.S. Route 93 was designated a NAFTA corridor and identified as a "high priority corridor" in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to the Vice President of the United States as the presiding officer of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and each member of the Nevada Congressional Delegation; and be it further Resolved, That this resolution becomes effective upon passage and approval. |
Go Street Racers"All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself." "Speed is not dangerous, nor does it cause accidents. The single factor consistent with every road accident isn't speed but bad driving and riding. People don't concentrate or simply don't think. They fail to see an oncoming hazard in time and they crash. More accidents happen below the speed limit than above it. The anti-fun party is in power and loving it. If they get their way, we'll be back to blokes walking in front of us with red flags. I'm all for reducing accidents, that's my job, but most occur in towns where 30mph limits are enforced. Making motorways slower serves no other purpose than to turn otherwise decent people into criminals. They'll be wanting sharp knives banned in the kitchen next, just to be safe."

Scary Police State propaganda runs Fast and Furious into a Brave New World OrderCNN NEWS - The original idea for "The Fast and the Furious" came from an article written by Ken Li for "Vibe" magazine. Under cover of darkness a subculture of people, mostly ethnic young men and women, get together to race customized, high-performance subcompact cars along empty streets in Los Angeles and the outlying desert. The prize: thousands of dollars per race. Vin Diesel plays Dominic Toretto, best known for "Saving Private Ryan". "Brian Spindler," aka Brian O'Conner, an undercover cop, is played by Paul Walker ("Skulls," 1999). Director Rob Cohen also helmed "Skulls." The Fast and the Furious opened Friday, June 22, 2001, has focused gobs of attention on sportcompact cars--a relatively new breed of customized automobile that has been called the "hot rod of the new millennium." "While the races in the movie are exciting to watch on-screen," said Len Monserrat, who drives the BFGoodrich Tires/Dynamic Turbo Mitsubishi Eclipse at NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) race tracks, "they send the wrong message to novice and amateur/hobby racers. Racing is great--on the race track. On the street, it's not only illegal, it's incredibly dangerous. "I belong to RASR, which stands for Racers Against Street Racing," he said. "We support and encourage the passion for vehicles and their performance, but we also want to make sure that people know that street racing is dangerous--and better alternatives do exist." President Charles R. Blum of SEMA concurs: "We have a great industry that provides people with exciting products to make their driving experience more fun and more rewarding. This industry also has a myriad of opportunities to show off custom or modified cars and trucks--at car shows like Hot Import Nights, at races sponsored by groups like the National Import Racing Association and the Import Drag Racing Circuit, and at sound-offs, too. We encourage young people to find out more about events and also car clubs in their area."

Rated PG - Propaganda for the Gullible. Detroit Heavy Metal Rap - Police Officers Charged in Street Race DeathDETROIT, FEB 6, 2002 - Four Lincoln Park police officers were charged Wednesday in connection with an illegal and deadly drag race. It has been a long time since the accident claimed the life of a young mother of two and injured two other people. They stood in front of a judge charged Tuesday with drag racing because of their participation and with neglect of duty and willful failure to uphold and enforce the law. The issue is whether or not Detroit even has jurisdiction. These officers have said they sat inside the Lincoln Park city limits watching what was going on. They are taking the position that Detroit has no authority to charge them, because they could not have committed a crime in Lincoln Park when the crime was actually, they say, in Detroit. John Goldbaugh, who is representing the officers in the $25 million wrongful death suit filed by the survivors of the woman who was killed, and their criminal attorney, representing the officers in the charges, are angry that they are even being charged because he says there is really nothing to this and it isn't fair. One of the prosecutors' key witnesses provided videotape evidence that was shown to Channel 7 and ultimately sold to another TV station that aired it. The tape shows the race and the two police cars with officers doing nothing but blaring rap music to entertain the crowd. They are also being charged with drag racing on the premise that they aided and abetted the race. More serious charges of second-degree murder are being lodged against Erin Reynolds. Testimony puts him behind the wheel of the Mustang drag racer that actually struck and killed one young mother and injured two men, all said to be innocent bystanders not involved with the race. "If we get any more organizers, we're going to charge them with second-degree murder. If you participate in a drag race in any way and injuries result, you are are just as legally responsible as the driver who actually struck the bystanders." DETROIT NEWS, MAY 7, 2000 - Board to crack down on drag races. Commission considers ordinance allowing seizure, impoundment of vehicles and fines. "This isn't about kids on the street racing their cars. This is very serious business," said Ben Washburn, attorney for the Wayne County Commission. "These cars aren't something people want to lose. These cars are worth as much as $100,000." The county commission had a public hearing last week on the proposed ordinance, which is similar to laws used to target illegal drug sales and prostitution. "How are we going to pay for this expense?" she asked. "Some people just may not want to get their cars back." Smith said the vehicles used in races are very expensive, trucked on trailers from race site to race site. He said he has heard that some car owners pay $9,000 for a carburetor. "People will want the cars back," he said. DETROIT NEWS, JULY 20, 2000 - Drag racing has long been a problem in Detroit. Often, hundreds of people congregate in secluded areas of the city to watch the races during the summer. Aside from the dangers involved, drag racing presents a nuisance to residents, and police have successfully pushed for tougher laws against the sport. A 24-year-old Detroit man died Tuesday from injuries sustained during a drag race. A second racer, aged 20, was rushed to Detroit Receiving Hospital, where he was treated for a concussion. The two cars involved in the accident - a 1984 Oldsmobile and a 1983 Pontiac [worth slightly less than $100,000] - were racing about 11 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Lynch and French on the city's east side when both cars crashed into a dirt hill near a Detroit City Airport fence. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found the Oldsmobile sitting upside down on top of the hill. Skid marks on the street leading up to the hill indicated that both cars tried unsuccessfully to stop before they hit the mound, police said. [News reporters failed to report whether the DOA was (1) wearing a seatbelt or not, (2) wearing a helmet or not, (3) equipped with a roll-over bar or not, (4) graduated from a performance driving and skid-control school, (5) an experienced and licensed racer. Nor did the propaganda recommend these inexpensive safety improvements.] Nuclear engineering genius dies in street raceIDAHO - Paul Brown, 43, died early Sunday morning when he lost control of the car he was illegally racing on a southeast Ada County road. When he lost control, he was leading the race and likely driving faster than 100 mph, said his wife, Jackie Brown, who was one of about 40 spectators. The 1972 Mazda RX2 flew off the side of the road and rolled several times. Paul Brown died at the scene, and the accident remains under investigation. The driver of the other vehicle, a 1970s Chevrolet Nova, is a close friend of the Browns, said Jackie Brown. Her husband died doing what he loved, she said. "He was well-rounded and full of energy," Jackie Brown said. He bought his first car at 13 and built a motor for it. Last August, Brown co-founded Nuclear Solutions Inc. Brown had discovered a way — at least on paper — to take nuclear waste and make it non-radioactive. Smokey and Bandit Cross Macon County LineDEALS GAP.COM - I have a story to tell and feel like this is a good place to get advice and hopfully get some positive feedback from another bike lover... my name's [J. Doe] and i am the proud owner of a 00 tricked out r-1. yesterday morning i witnessed two state patrol officers with a XXXX county sheriff pull past posted signs at my residence of 14 acres. they parked and virtually stole the tag off my r-1 (video survaillence shows trooper parker remove tag). my wife left to the store in her car and was stopped, issued ticket for "too dark of tint" and questioned as to my whereabouts. approx an hour later the trooper returned, kicked in my front door and searched my residence, yet bike and myself was gone... i contacted trooper XXXXXX via cell phone, gave me his number, friendly and courteous. i was informed that he had been out-run 5 times in two different counties within two weeks, that he was issuing citations to me for these offences... 22 citations to be exact. however, the tag he stole had been altered with black electrical tape (X was turned into an X, X into X and X into X) so the actual reality was that tag was never ran... i turned myself in and was nicknamed "the motorcycle bandit", yet i am not stating guilt nor am i gonna lie and deny guilt to another bike lover. i'll simply say my body was never captured doing crimes i am accussed of. i am a truck driver by trade and several of these tickets ruin my driving career, like "speeding in excees of 140" (all SP radar reads is 140), 5 counts "fleeing and ATTEMPTING TO ELUDE??????", STOP SIGNS, LANE CHANGES, JUMPING COUNTIES, ETC. MY ATTORNEY ACTUALLY LAUGHED AND STATED THEY don't have any chance in hell convicting a man they never caught. i turned myself in to the XXXX county jail and bonded out last night. it cost me so far $795 cash... i didn't know that if you run from a cop in, say, blue county, if you cross into red county it's another "eluding" charge. [Note that no one was injured or killed and no crashes were alleged to have occurred. If police allege "eluding arrest", a felony, then they have "probable cause" to trespass and enter a residence by force - IF THEY HAVE POSITIVE ID AND HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. Otherwise the police may have exposed themselves to lawsuits both officially and individually.] Police Massacres in Pursuit of Policy
The summary report of Illinois State University, Department of Criminal Justice Sciences, sponsored by the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety. Top-secret insiders' investigation of summary executions by police officers of motorists accused of routine traffic offenses. Totals include 50,000 annual "high-speed" chases with 20,000 annual injuries. Permanant disabilities were not counted. American police kills hundreds of motorists every year (including deaths of off-duty police officers), with thirty-percent of deaths occurring to innocent bystanders and two-percent to police officers. From the Report: "Only 14% of the pursuits reported were initiated for felony crimes. It is clear from available appellate decisions that officers must abide by existing state vehicle code requirements for tho operation of emergency vehicles, and police must avoid beinq negligent in the performance of their duties. Pursuit driving is considered a deadly force issue by many writers, and the courts have, construed the use of road blocks as a deadly force issue. Pursuit training does not seem to exist in any substantial form at this time in Illinois. Supervisors knew that their officers engaged in unauthorized pursuits and corresponding deception concerning their behavior -- often in violation of department policy. At the same time, officers under reported their pursuits. Most departments seem to equate to Emergency Vehicle Operations Course training (EVOC) with pursuit training. The lack of systematic pursuit training, including judgmental and decision-making elements, is a surprising and unfortunate omission."

SUPERBIKE, MARCH 2000 - Editors: "Mr XXX is you. Hey, he's me. He's all of us. He's a 30-something bloke with a decent job, a mortgage and a bike. The Fireblade is paid for, it's insured, taxed and he's never been in trouble with the law. But this man just served 2 months in prison alongside drug dealers and murderers. His crime? 'Speeding'. If you think it could never happen to you, think again...." Mr XXX: "We were hacking down a stretch of dual carriageway. It was a 70 limit. I guess we were doing about a ton, but we weren't going mad. The coppers were in an unmarked car. One of them lept out and he was well pissed off. He even had his baton out. - I thought he was going to twat me one. He yelled at me to get my lid off, but I said no way, not until he put the baton away. After that I was bundled into the back of the car, cautioned and shown the video. It showed them behind another car doing 110mph [illegally and without emergency lights or siren] for a few minutes before I came past. Why they hadn't already pulled him I don't know. As soon as I went by they gave up on the car immediately. The cops had followed me for a couple of miles [40 seconds] but hadn't gotten a precise speed on me - they were at 150mph flat-out but I was still pulling away a bit. It was another 6 months before the summons finally turned up - prosecuted for [alleged] 'dangerous driving'. I got myself a solicitor and pled 'not guilty'. I was 'speeding' but my riding wasn't dangerous. Even the copper who nicked me said it was smooth. Over the next 5 months I was in court 7 times. My case finally came up at a Crown court with a jury. Because of this I had to fork over for a barrister ('trial lawyer'). By the time I went to prison I had spent 3 grand ($4,500) on legal bills. When I was nicked I had stopped immediately and been polite to the cops. I had a solicitor with me in court, wore my best suit and was humble and respectful the whole time. I was given 5 months in prison, banned from driving for 3 years and was fined £400. And I got a criminal record as a bonus. I was loaded in a van and taken straight from court to prison. A lot of the blokes there were lifers, in for stuff like murder, armed robbery, drug and sex offenses. Hard drugs like crack and heroin were readily availible. In the first 2 weeks, 15 blokes got cut with knives and another 12 got 'jugged' - covered in boiling water mixed with sugar so it stickes to the skin ['like napalm sticks to kids']. The prison officers didn't care what I was in for and treated me like shit. As far as they were concerned I was scum. I spent 23 hours a day in my cell and read a lot of books. Did you know it costs [taxpayers] a grand a week ($1,500) to keep someone inside? I was let out early but have to wear a [radio-controlled] security tag until the full term. It's locked on my ankle and my house is full of sensors. The cops know where I am all the time. I have to come home by 7pm and can't leave again until 7am. When I'm at home I can't go outside.My mum still thinks I must be lying to her that my only crime was speeding. She reckons I must have crashed and killed someone to get the punishment I have. I'm disgusted with our legal system and have lost any faith I had in cops or courts.I read in the paper today that about a lad in a car who knocked a girl off her motorbike. She lost part of her leg as a result and he was fined £30 ($45) and no points. It's fucked up. What else can you call it?" Editors: "The moronic element in our judicial system now puts speeding right up there with rape, murder, and bestiality. And what the hell can we do about it? Well, quite a lot actually, and you'll be pleased to know that none of it involves riding around like a nonce. All we need to do is employ a little cunning [and electromagnatism] when out for a thrash and only ride like twats when odds are that no-one's watching." [Note that in just the city of London, cops crash their police cars 4,000 times every year. And note that contrary to these excellent editors, there are A LOT more things a driver can do to fight tyranny in a so-called "democratic republic" - or in a "parlimentary monarchy". Oftentimes the best defense is a good offense, as detailed on this webpage. And even a full-court-press defense costs at least $10,000, plus appeals. That's why gangsters and cops under arrest only hire the most expensive lawyers.] NHTSA says 190MPH sportbike riders are the safest ridersCNN News, May 4, 2001 - Victims of- motorcycle crashes are increasingly- likely to be older people riding large- motorcycles on rural roads, according- to a study by the National Highway- Traffic Safety Administration. The findings came as a surprise, NHTSA officials said. "It exploded some of the- myths of where the problems lie in motorcycles," said Rae Tyson of the- NHTSA. Preliminary statistics for 2000 showed motorcycle crashes have steadily- increased over the past three years. In the year 2000 alone, deaths on motorcycles increased 8 percent, to 2,680 fatalities.- One reason cited was the increase in the number of motorcycles on the road -- sales increased by 51 percent between 1997 and 1999. In 1998, when 43.7- percent of owners were over 40 and the average age was 38, older riders for the- first time made up the majority of those killed in motorcycle crashes.- Since 1990, deaths for the 29-and-under age group have been steadily declining.- In 1999 the average age of a person killed on a motorcycle was 36.5 years.- Older riders tend to do almost everything by the book, the report found. They- get licensed, wear their helmets and even take rider training courses. In fact, more motorcyclists are getting valid licenses -- the report found that in 1999, 70 percent of the motorcycle riders killed had valid licenses compared with only 54 percent in 1990. People older than 29 who are killed generally are riding bikes with engines larger than 1000cc, and the 1001-1500cc category is the only group in which motorcycle fatalities increased between 1990 and 1999. [WARNING - As proof of NHTSA's corruption, incompetence and criminal negligence, none of its reports mention the word "Countersteering", nor does it mention that since police departments have started taking over the 1,000 Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) schools, the word "Countersteering" has increasingly been censored from "Beginner" classes (but not MSF's "Advanced" classes). This is despite MSF research showing that 98% of all biker crashes involve riders who have never heard the word "Countersteering". NHTSA also alleged that so-called "drunk driving" was increasing while censoring the fact that blood-alcohol tests are NEVER accurate for crash victims and are virtually never accurate for 100% sober drivers. See case in the Driver Law section below for the NON-drinking dead person with a "blood-alcohol level" of 0.40% (alleged "coma" or "DOA" level).] Senator killed biker in hit-and-run so Tennessee legislature named Interstate highway for the killer + Cop-killer given paid vacation by taxpayers = Rash of Road Rages
American Motorcyclist Association: "You're driving along U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee, and you see a billboard designating it the 'Terry Barnard Memorial Highway.' Those billboards, erected by the AMA, are a response to the decision by state legislators in Tennessee to name a nearby stretch of Interstate 140 after the late Sen. Carl Koella. Koella may have served the state well for many years, but in 1996 he was involved in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of motorcyclist Terry Barnard [an engineer for GM]. Koella turned his van left into the path of Barnard's motorcycle on Route 321 near where the AMA's billboards are located. The motorcyclist tried to avoid a crash, but he hit the side of the van, then ran into a car stopped behind it. As Terry Barnard lay dying by the side of the road, witnesses said Koella stopped, got out of his van, looked around, then drove away. He later pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The AMA does not oppose appropriate actions honoring Koella's long career in public office, but naming a highway after a driver who left a man dying in the road is more than just an insult -- it's outrageous." In other news, a local police officer in the same county was arrested for vehicular homicide and given paid vacation for ramming a biker without warning for the alleged crime of speeding - the dead biker was a family man - A COP - riding his sportbike to work at a responsible 50 miles-per-gallon. Bushed and GoredIt's safe to say that Jenna Bush is never going to be a member of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD lobbied furiously in the 1980s to raise the legal drinking age from 18 or 19 in most states to 21, making most typical American college students imbibing outlaws for the first three years of college. Now that dump-the-beer dragnet has caught the president's daughter for the second time this year. In October 1995, 16-year-old Sarah Gore was caught by Maryland police with an open can of beer. "She broke our rules, and she broke the law. She's extremely miserable and unhappy," Tipper Gore told the local Fox affiliate. The Washington Post's coverage focused on Sarah, the star athlete and great student. The networks, broadcast and cable, said absolutely nothing. In 1996, only the vaguest whispers surfaced that Al Gore III, then just 13, was suspended from school for possession of marijuana. British newspapers sniffed that the vice president effectively had cried to editors for restraint. Fast forward four years, and Al III has an obvious brush with the law in August of 2000, driving 97 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone in North Carolina. You could even make a retroactive argument for Karenna Gore, since an August 2000 Time magazine profile noted, "By the time she hit the teen years, her spirited nature veered into open rebellion. She was big on 'adventuring,' climbing out of her window to shimmy down a manhole into the D.C. subway system for after-hours partying." I suspect they were probably not Kool-Aid parties. Roger Clinton makes reckless driving plea in DWI stakeoutCNN News, August 8, 2001 - In a deal that spares him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty Tuesday to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving. As part of the deal, the three initial charges -- two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace -- were dismissed. Clinton, who is the half-brother of former President Bill Clinton, could have faced a maximum 270 days in prison on those charges. Torrance Superior Court Judge Jesse Rodriguez sentenced Clinton to 24 months probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $1,351. In addition, the judge said he must report any new arrests within five days and that he must stay at least 100 yards away from the Lighthouse nightclub in Hermosa Beach, CA, where the incident began. The judge also said Clinton must not operate a vehicle with any amount of alcohol in his system, and he can't refuse an alcohol or drug test if requested by police. Clinton attorney, Mark Geragos, said his client is "extremely pleased" with the outcome. "It's a vindication of what we've said all along -- that it was a setup," said Geragos. The charge stems from a February 17 incident in which Clinton was accused of scuffling with a doorman at the Lighthouse, where he allegedly had drinks, and then left in a car. He was followed by police and charged with two counts of DUI. Geragos said he presented an audio tape to the judge that contained four of the seven arresting officers talking about his arrest 45 minutes beforehand. "Before he was even driving, they were staking him out," said Geragos. Roger Clinton was one of 140 people pardoned by his brother in the last days of the Clinton presidency. The younger Clinton had been convicted of a cocaine drug charge in Arkansas in 1985, while his brother was the state's governor. ALERT! Killer junk science and return of the bogus speed limit: "Slam on the brakes: First 55-mph signs are up"HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Feb. 4, 2002 - Texas Department of Transportation workers were busy this morning installing the new 55-mph "environmental speed limit" signs on farm-to-market roads in north and west Harris County. By late morning, Wigington said, the two-person crew had installed six signs in about 10 miles of FM 529 from Barker-Cypress Road to the Waller County line. The previous speed limit there was 70 mph, he said. Signs did not need changing on FM 529 east of Barker-Cypress, Wigington said, because the speed limit there was already 55. With that segment completed, he said, the crew moved to a 16-mile segment of FM 2920 from U.S. 290 to Tomball. Through February, the changeover will not proceed on a rigid schedule, so motorists on farm-to-market and state roads should be alert to the change. For most drivers, the big adjustment in behavior -- if not attitude -- will come March 4-8 when the changeout moves to local freeways. That may hit many like a bucket of ice water: Over much of the Houston freeway system, cars and trucks routinely zip along at 70 mph or higher when traffic conditions allow, and sometimes when they don't. The Texas Transportation Commission approved the 55-mph speed limit Dec. 13 as part of a plan developed by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to bring the eight-county region into compliance with federal ozone standards by 2007. The plan is facing challenges, including some from environmentalists who claim it won't achieve that goal. Officials of Fort Bend, Brazoria and Montgomery counties, all with fast-growing suburbs and residents who commute to jobs in Houston, sued the TNRCC in January 2001, contending their counties are unfairly blamed for the area's pollution problems. Montgomery County later dropped out of the case, and the transportation department was added as a defendant. As soon as the new limit is posted in Fort Bend and Brazoria counties, the issue could be propelled back into court, a lawyer for the counties said Friday.

NHTSA says older drivers are the most dangerous drivers - then demands driving restrictions for rookiesCNN News, Sept 4, 2001 - Older drivers have a higher death rate than their younger counterparts because they are more likely to die from automobile crash injuries. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety researchers came to that conclusion in a report that says that people over age 65 have a higher death rate per capita than any other group. "It's important to make travel safer for the seniors themselves, who are more frail and whose abilities may be reduced," said chief scientist Allan Williams. The IIHS report estimates there will be about 70 million drivers over the age of 65 by the year 2030. As the population ages, the institute says it may be a time for changes on the roadways. That may mean simple changes such as making intersections four-way stops, increasing round roundabouts in neighborhoods, changing signal timing to a short all-red phase, and increasing walk signals. While seniors are willing to make changes in their driving habits, a bigger project will be to get manufacturers to take seniors into consideration when designing cars. John Eberhand, a study consultant, says manufacturers are going to have to think about car design for older drivers. Such changes include depowered airbags, changes in seatbelt design, adjustable pedals, and seat and steering wheel adjustment improvements. CNN News, June 20, 2001 - A plan that would gradually give teenagers full driving privileges could drastically reduce the number of auto accidents in the next decade, the American Automobile Association (AAA) said. The Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) programs include nighttime driving restrictions, passenger restrictions and incentives for staying crash-free and conviction-free. "We want the strongest laws possible," said AAA spokeswoman Susan Pikrallidas. "That is why AAA and its partners ask all states to examine their GDL measure and to make the necessary changes. Enacting GDL laws in all states is the centerpiece of AAA's national Licensed to Learn campaign, which began in 1997. To date, 44 states have some form of GDL law. Neither AAA nor NHTSA recommended what would actually make safer drivers: (1) Skid-control training for every driver; (2) a 90% reduction of "traffic" police; (3) a 900% increase in emergency "1st-responder" units; (4) replacement of deadly traffic lights with non-stop 4-way intersections, what AAA Insurance Corporation named "round roundabouts". NHTSA VEHICLE ADVISORY for Law Enforcement Agencies, April 1, 1999 - On December 4, 1998, two persons were killed and nine injured when a 1997 Ford Econoline van suddenly accelerated into a crowd of people. The crash occurred when the driver inadvertently pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal and shifted from "Park" to "Drive." The van was equipped with police lights and had been modified so the shift-lock did not operate at that time.

MARCH 2000 - "We're looking for the best pictures of destroyed or vandalized traffic camer for an up-and-coming feature in the mag. You don't have to go out and discharge a double-barrel shotgun at one yourself, but if you know of one that has been 'customized', empty your Instamatic at it and send us the evidence. The best picture wins a top of the range Premier Hyper 2000 helmet worth £239." GETTING OUT OF HAND - I ENCOUNTERED A STAGGERING NEW GATSO ON THE RIDE TO WORK THIS MORNING. THE CAMERA WAS SITUATED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS JUNCTION, THE LIGHTS WERE ON RED, SO WE ALL SAT THERE, LIKE YOU DO. THEN THEY CHANGED TO GREEN, ME AND A VAN PULLED AWAY TOGETHER AND AS WE DID SO, POOM! POOM! DOUBLE FLASH FROM THE GATSO, WE'D JUST HAD OUT PICTURES TAKEN. FOR CROSSING A JUNCTION ON A GREEN LIGHT. CAMERA ACTION - The first thing on any speed copper's shopping list in this new Century is a new type of speed camera called SPECS, which works without radar or flash. There are two units stationed a few hundred meters apart. Both of the sneaky bastards take a digital image of your number plate on record it. The built-in computer calculates your speed between the two points and sends theinformation down a phone line to ticketing offices. No film means when they ARE installed they'll work 7 days a week, all through bank holidays and suchlike.. The only bright side is that presumably traffic cops will be made redundant, which will at least save us from having to disturbed men in uniform who 'like to ride a fast bike too but , hey, there's a time and a place for everything.'" CUNNING DEVICES THAT'LL NICK YOU - "Camera signs must be posted on roads with cameras. These don't guarantee a camera presence but are your first warning. Scan the roadside for camera posts as well as tell-tale markings in the road. The most 'successful' cameras are the semi-hidden ones. 1 in 8 cameras have film in them. No flashes or a single flash means you're safe, 2 flashes means you might get nicked.Another Gatso-type doesn't flash, but faces oncoming traffic and has a circular red lens. Because it only takes pictures of the front of the vehicle bikes are safe. If the camera is live the cops have 14 days to send you, the registered owner of the vehicle, the fixed penalty or notice of prosecution ["service of process"]. After 14 days, it's no longer valid. Politely inform the Gatso Department and your case should be dropped." IN-CAR PROVIDA VIDEO - "Fitted to the tricker traffic cars, marked and unmarked, and measures 'your' speed [copper's speed] as well as videoing your antics for posterity and court. The only way to beat it is to make sure you're not filmed in the first place. If you are nicked with it, ask to see the video at the scene before admitting anything - in cases where the video isn't enough to get a conviction, they may try to get a confession out of you before showing it. See before you speak."

BBC NEWS, LONDON, 7 Feb 2002 - There are 25 million CCTV cameras in operation worldwide, with 2.5 million in the UK. In Reading town centre alone, there are 327 CCTV cameras, a handful on the street, 140 in the shopping centre and 161 in the main carpark. And the chances of getting caught on camera are set to rise, particularly with the use of digital CCTV. "Analogue only records about 5% of what is going on, whereas digital systems can record everything and there is no deterioration in the quality," explains Oliver Vellacott, the head of IndigoVison, makers of surveillance systems. Digital cameras can also be networked together, something not possible with analogue because the signal has to be sent along a dedicated line and can travel no further than about 170 kilometres (100 miles). The vision of cameras watching your every move is close to becoming a reality, with analysts predicting a tenfold increase in CCTV in the UK in the next five years. "This opens up the debate about whether the public cameras should be open to the public so that everyone sees as much as everyone else and this would turn the idea of Big Brother on its head," he says. Not all criminologists agree with this view. A comprehensive study of the impact of CCTV in Glasgow found no evidence it reduced crime or the fear of crime. Mr Marriage said, "CCTV pictures means there have been an enormous increase in guilty verdicts." There is a huge difference between cameras on the streets and having them intrude into our homes in true Orwellian style. The Big Brother vision is not just a TV gimmick. Many homes are already hooked up to CCTV and firms are increasingly selling the benefits of spy cameras to check up on the nanny from the comfort of your desk. In the future, homes will be fitted with surveillance cameras as standard, says Mr Vellacott. It will be driven by insurance firms [the "mafia protection rackets] and the desire to keep an eye on your property, he believes. "Then the issues of privacy get really thorny. There will be secure access to home cameras but the concern will be that nothing is foolproof from hackers," he points out.
NEW YORK (Reuters), FEB 13, 2002 - Washington police are building what will be the nation's biggest network of surveillance cameras to monitor shopping areas, streets, monuments and other public places in the U.S. capital, a move that worries civil liberties groups, The Wall Street Journal said on Wednesday. The system would eventually include hundreds of cameras, linking existing devices in Metro mass transit stations, public schools and traffic intersections to new digital cameras mounted to watch over neighborhoods and shopping districts, the Journal said. "In the context of Sept. 11, we have no choice but to accept greater use of this technology," Stephen Gaffigan, the head of the police department project, told the Journal. He said city officials had studied the British surveillance system, which has more than 2 million cameras throughout the country, and were "intrigued by that model." One of the first uses of police surveillance cameras in Washington was April 2000, when authorities set up a network to monitor protests during a meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the newspaper said. On Tuesday morning, in response to the latest terror alert issued by the Justice Department, police activated a $7 million command center that was first used on Sept. 11. The command center, which has dozens of video stations for monitoring cameras, will remain in use until federal officials end the alert, the Journal reported. Cameras installed by the police have been programmed to scan public areas automatically, and officers can take over manual control if they want to examine something more closely. The system currently does not permit an automated match between a face in the crowd and a computerized photo of a suspect, the Journal said. Gaffigan said officials were looking at the technology but had not decided whether to use it. Eventually, images will be viewable on computers already installed in most of the city's 1,000 squad cars, the Journal said. The Journal said the plans for Washington went far beyond what was in use in other U.S. cities, a development that worries civil liberties advocates. Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union in New York, noted there were few legal restrictions of video surveillance of public streets. But he said that by setting up a "central point of surveillance," it becomes likely that "the cameras will be more frequently used and more frequently abused." "You are building in a surveillance infrastructure, and how it's used now is not likely how it's going to be used two years from now or five years from now," he told the Journal.
July 4, 2001 - First it was the photo-radar vans snapping pictures of Denver-area speeders. Now, some fear Big Brother's roving eye soon will be watching all of Colorado with the arrival of a new European import called "face recognition." The Department of Motor Vehicles is buying cameras that will map every driver's facial characteristics like a three-dimensional land chart. The danger is that the technology could eventually be expanded to monitor the comings and goings of ordinary Coloradans. This week, Tampa, Fla., became the first city in the United States to install similar high-tech cameras on public streets to scan crowds in the city's nightlife district. Old driver's license photos will be scanned into a computer database using the new technology. Then, starting next July, new mugs will be compared with those on file to make sure people are who they say they are when they go to get, or renew, a Colorado driver's license. It doesn't matter if you gain 200 pounds and go bald between photographs. Short of plastic surgery, the camera will recognize you. "Facial recognition deals with spatial details, where a nose is compared with the eyes," said Dorothy Dalquist, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue. "Baldness doesn't count, and weight doesn't either." The state legislature authorized the technology during the last session. State officials won't disclose the cost of the system until they meet later this month with officials from Polaroid, one of the companies involved in making the system. Images will be compared against a database of mug shots of people with active warrants, political ties or suitable subjects for rape-by-cops. The technology has raised concerns about privacy, ethics and government intrusion. Privacy advocates are concerned that a database of photographs could itself spill into the Orwellian realm. "There is a danger," said Rep. Matt Smith, a Grand Junction lawmaker and attorney who serves on a statewide task force studying the issue of privacy. "The intended purpose of facial recognition is to help the state prevent the theft of identity. Now the question is, "What will its future use be?" Gordon said Colorado already sells driver records to insurance companies for $5 million a year. "If we're going to create a database of photographs of every driver in Colorado, will it be used only to protect against criminals?" Gordon asked. "Or will it be used for commercial purposes or marketing or to produce books of people's photos. We have to be careful."

NEW YORK TIMES, Jan. 26, 2002 — Drivers are now in open revolt over a program "forcing" them to drive more slowly. This month the state began using digital cameras — operated [without police officers by private corporations] from unmarked vans and mounted near intersections — to "catch" drivers who [allegedly] speed and [allegedly] run red lights on selected state roads and highways. The response has been swift. Rebellious drivers have snapped up several thousand license covers that "illegally" obscure plates. They have sent angry letters to the local papers urging people not to pay their tickets. [Since there was no police officer to testify in court that an arrest was made or to testify in a "civil cause of action for debt".] Cellphone brigades call morning radio shows to relay the vans' locations, and reports abound of drivers hurling obscene gestures, insults and even trash at the vans. "People are now driving too slow," said Carol Costa, a spokeswoman for the City of Honolulu "They're driving in packs so their plates can't be seen by the cameras. There are people who speed around the packs of cars. And the vans, of course, themselves are being targeted by drivers." The effort has ignited such rage that some lawmakers are "considering" repealing it, and the City and County of Honolulu have bowed out of the antispeeding part of the program, saying it makes people drive erratically. In its first eight days, it produced nearly 1,300 traffic citations, not counting those issued by officers ticketing drivers the usual way. Normally, about 800 traffic citations are issued in the same period. For now, the cameras are in four vans on six roads that have been identified, and the sections under "surveillance" have signs warning of the monitoring. The three-year pilot program is being run by a [private] company, ACS State and Local Solutions, which receives $29.75 for every citation paid. For a speeding citation, the state receives $27 plus $5 for every mile over the speed limit; the fine for running a red light is $77. People say they object to being accused by a machine. With angry references to Big Brother, they complain of a lack of due process, a breach of their constitutional rights [a "civil action for debt" without service of process or "criminal citation in liew of citizen's arrest" without service of process] and a money grab by the state. But what seems to make drivers the angriest about the program, some say, is that they feel they do not have the wiggle room that they have with a police officer. "There's a difference between going a little above the speed limit and reckless driving," said George Chan, a clerk for the State Department of Health who often travels the monitored roads. "The police have more "discretion". The cameras just sit there and say `You're over the limit.' There's no reasonable leeway." At 55 miles per hour, Hawaii's speed limit is the lowest in the nation, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington, Va. Joseph Souki, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, has introduced a bill to raise the statewide maximum speed limit to 65 m.p.h. "We've got to stand back a little and wait and see," Mr. Souki said. "It may not be as bad as people think once they get used to it. All they have to do is not speed."

New York, March 20, 2002 - "David Caruso did it. Dennis Franz did it. Now another NYPD Blue cast member has bared her backside, this time for a cause. Two-time Emmy-nominated actor Charlotte Ross is the latest star to pose for PETA's "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" series. The ad, which shows Ross "clad" only in a strategically placed white rabbit, is entitled, "I'd Rather Show My Buns Than Wear Fur." Shot by photographer Robert Sebree, it will debut in the April issue of Gear, just in time for Easter. Although she plays tough cop Connie McDowell on the celebrated series, Ross has a soft spot for animals. "In my TV job as a police detective, I have to deal with some pretty cold-hearted characters," she says. "But I can't think of anything more heartless than to torment and kill animals in the name of fashion." Rabbits and other animals raised for fur receive little medical attention or shelter from the elements. They are killed by electrocution, gassing, poison, or having their necks broken. No federal laws protect animals on fur farms. Trapped animals spend days in agony, tearing flesh and breaking bones in a struggle to free themselves. Ross joins the ranks of Dominique Swain, Pamela Anderson, Kim Basinger, Christy Turlington, and other celebrities who have also bared their skin in order to save animals' skins. PETA has also turned heads and raised eyebrows with au naturel anti-fur demonstrations in the streets of Hong Kong, Montréal, Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, and Milan.

"In 1969, the combined recoverable energy resources of the United States were greater by several times than any conceivable demand that could be made on them for the next 50 years [not counting solar, wind and geothermal]. The United States was the world's largest single producer of crude oil. Though also the world's biggest oil consumer, it was capable of producing just as much as it used. And its production was still rising. We were, in fact, roughly self-sufficient. In natural gas, too, the United States was the world's largest producer. As for coal, the United States was the world's largest repository. Only four percent of our oil came from the Arab world in 1968, and that figure would drop to three percent in 1970. A gallon of gasoline purchased at the refinery cost ten cents; purchased at the filling station gas pump, with taxes added, it cost 35 cents. A ton of coal sold for $4.65 in 1989.

DETROIT, April 9, 2002 - General Motors may offer safety features such as antilock brakes as standard equipment on fewer vehicles. GM safety executive Robert Lange said a final decision hasn't been made yet. But he says the change is being considered as part of the Detroit automaker's efforts to cut costs. Customers could get the safety features, but they'd buy them as options. Antilock brakes are standard equipment on most of GM's vehicles, except the Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire and Saturn vehicles. The system costs about $160 per vehicle. GM is also considering bundling other safety features into packages of options.

Autopedia's directory of schools that teach performance-with-control and emergency crash-prevention techniques. Includes both automotive and motorcycle schools for both performance/safety driving and racing techniques. Both car and bike schools have modified vehicles with "training wheels". Biker schools teach "Countersteering" - which is steering right to turn left, and vice versa, which is the only way to steer any 2-wheeled vehicle (try the NO B.S. training bike if you don't trust your own brain). Editor of Sport Rider magazine, October 2001: "Countersteering is the far easier, more efficient and accurate method of directing a bike's intended path. Countersteering remains the foundation upon which nearly all directional changes originate. Code's purpose in building the No B.S. bike was to clear up the confusion he often encounters when students are unable to perform 'quick-flick' steering (such as avoiding an object in the road) because they don't have proper knowledge of countersteering." Schools allow progressive skill levels to be attained and also provide individual coaching from experts.

News, features, test rides, links. So you are on a nice weekend ride on the curviest roads around, your buddy in front of you takes a corner way too fast and wraps his bike around a big oak tree, what do you do? Check out our CPR help article. 1. Call 911. If your fellow rider is on the ground not getting up, call 911! It takes them time to respond to calls and in a situation like this time is precious. Your job from here on out is keep your fellow rider alive until help arrives. 2. Check to see if the fallen rider is breathing. You can do this by putting the back of you hand by the rider's nose and mouth. You will feel a sight breeze if the person is breathing. 3. Check to see if the rider has a pulse. First try the riders neck (being the most accessible on a rider wearing gloves). Place your hand around their neck almost like you were going to strangle them. Place your fingers and thumb about center of the neck. If their heart is beating you will feel the pulse. (make sure you take your gloves off, duh). 4. If the rider is not breathing it is time to start breathing for them. Take the helmet off. Do this as gently as possible, there may be neck injury. Place your hand behind the victims neck and gently push up on the chin. Place your mouth on theirs (you will not be homophobic at this time, believe me - "First Responder" First Aid kits provide 100% barrier protection with zero skin-to-skin contact), pinch the riders nose close and blow forcefully into the victim's mouth, this forces air into the riders lungs. You are basically breathing for the rider. 5. If the rider does not have a pulse \ heart beat now is the time to start giving them a pulse. This part is the scary part. You risk breaking the victim's ribcage, but a broken rib is better than dieing. Place one hand on top of the other. Place your combined hands on the chest about two fingers above the center bottom of the ribcage. Compress the victims chest downwards forcefully. This will artificially create the heart to beat. 6. Repeat. Compress the victims chest three times, counting 1 alligators or Mississippi or whatever in between compressions. Then repeat the breathing (if not breathing) and chest compressions (if no heart beat). After a few repetitions check for breathing and heart beat again. Repeat until help arrives. Please note this should not replace formal CPR training, you should sign up for training today.
Some have described the SWS as the perfect pathway toward the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) of US NHTSA. Others see it as a brilliant variation on a pair of well established, interrelated technologies, creating an important new tool for preventing accidents, injuries and deaths. Either way, it is a tremendous opportunity for companies with experience in microwave technology, mobile electronics or ITS technologies firms striving to stay on the cutting edge and to make a difference. The Safety Warning System® employs special microwave transmitters to generate messages in receivers that alert drivers to the presence of dozens and dozens of specific hazards and special traffic conditions - school buses unloading students, road work zones, ice-covered bridges, hidden intersections, active rail crossings, police vehicles responding to emergencies, utility crews at work and much more. The possibilities for this technology are limited only by the imagination of product designers. Links to ITS.
GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH NEWS, April 17, 1996 - Technology already widely used by American motorists is the basis for a low-cost safety warning system that would inform drivers of highway hazards such as traffic accidents, approaching emergency vehicles, construction delays or visibility problems. With support from a consortium of consumer electronics companies, researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have developed a transmitter and messaging system capable of sending a wide range of emergency warnings to motorists using advanced radar detectors. The Safety Warning System® will also provide a general warning to the estimated 20 million drivers using older radar detectors not capable of displaying text messages. "Intelligent transportation systems planned for the future will improve highway safety by providing drivers with information about the hazards ahead of them, but it's going to be years before such systems are implemented," said Gene Greneker, a principal research associate in the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory at GTRI. "The Safety Warning System will provide a sophisticated warning capability today and serve as a stepping-stone to the systems of the future." The key to development of the system was agreement by four leading radar detector manufacturers to use a common technique for sending emergency information and a standard set of warning messages compatible with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration guidelines. The new generation of "smart" radar detectors includes a built-in liquid crystal display capable of displaying up to 64 characters. When such a detector receives a safety message, it first sounds a special tone to alert the driver before displaying the message. A second message can also be sent and displayed with the first, so the system could both warn of a hazard and tell the driver of a reduced speed limit. Because the transmitter also sends out microwave signals on the K band, drivers using older radar detectors would still be alerted to a traffic hazard, though they could not be told the specific nature of it. The consortium of electronics companies, known as RADAR, has filed a patent application to protect the technology. Transmitters would be located on police and other emergency vehicles, and on construction equipment, bridges, existing overhead sign warning systems and other fixed sites. Portable transmitters could also be moved to locations wherever needed. "Every police car one day will have one of these," Greneker predicted. "When the police officer turns on the blue lights or siren to begin a pursuit or respond to an emergency, the transmitter would send out a message alerting motorists. At an accident site, the officer would use the transmitter to warn oncoming cars." Since 1991, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allowed use of unattended radar transmitters to trigger radar detectors and thereby warn drivers of hazards ranging from highway construction zones to road maintenance. Though these "drone" systems cannot broadcast specific warnings, they have been considered useful for improving highway safety. "At least two studies have shown that drone transmitters capable of setting off the current generation of radar detectors are effective at slowing traffic in construction zones," said Janice Lee, president of RADAR.

In those few harrowing moments, as we witnessed park benches and other assorted debris fly past the window of our RV, we desperately needed to know where the tornado cell was and how we could best avoid it. It was a near-death experience for us, and although our on-board NOAA weather alert radio was urging us to take cover we had no way of knowing where we should go. Trucking fleet operators, school bus dispatchers and public safety officers have long sought some form of an early warning system that would allow motorists to receive timely and accurate information about weather conditions and road hazards. Most state DOTs (Department of Transportation) have implemented some version of early warning programs such as the posting traffic flow information on web sites and/or the installation of lighted signs alerting motorists of slow traffic. Millions of dollars are being invested by firms seeking ways of packaging information about shopping opportunities and delivering them to captive audiences sitting in vehicles during their daily commutes. There are a couple of systems in existence that, if they were fully developed and implemented, might one day provide the kind of information that we so desperately sought that afternoon in July. The programs are known as Safety Warning System (SWS) and Safety-Alert System (SAS). SAS is a proprietary program of Cobra Electronics Corporation, the makers of the #1 CB radio for truckers and a very successful line of radar detectors. The SAS is currently operating in its most basic mode for most of the country. The SAS targets the strobe light system that is installed on the light bars of hundreds of emergency vehicles and traffic control signals throughout the United States. When an emergency vehicle uses the strobe transmitter to change the traffic light to green, an alert flashes on the radar detector indicating that an emergency vehicle is nearby. The more advanced and useful element of the program is being implemented extremely slowly. It requires a series of transmitters installed on the roadways around the country that can enable the broadcast of digital messages regarding hazards alerts. Cobra is releasing a new detector, the ESD-9230WX, in early summer that can deliver both voice and visual alerts from the NOAA "All Hazards Alert," as well as the Federal Emergency Alert System (which used to be the Emergency Broadcast System), and information about severe weather. A more extensive program was developed in 1995 under the auspices of the Georgia Technical Research Institute and engineers from a consortium of mobile electronics firms including Bell-Tronics, Santeca Electronics, Uniden American and the Whistler Corporation. The SWS system also employs the K-band (24.1Ghz) and can transmit up to 64 pre-programmed text messages to radar detectors made by a number of firms. The messages are transmitted by the use of small transmitters that can either be mounted in a fixed location or attached to vehicles. For example, a mobile transmitter could be attached to a school bus providing alerts to drivers about the location of a bus picking up children. The alerts can be received within 1.5 miles of the receiver in ideal conditions. A few representative alerts are: "right lane closed ahead," "train approaching/at crossing," "ice on bridge ahead," "expect 10 minute delay," and "police in pursuit." Uniden's GPS-RD with just about every bell and whistle including GPS, electronic compass, elevation and SWS retails for $229. The big problem with all of these road alert systems is the lack of transmitters currently in existence in the USA.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, March 08, 2002 - Speeding through Fort Washington Way? Be ready to smile, for you could soon be caught on videotape. Area transportation officials are studying whether to install cameras equipped with radar to more closely monitor why trucks continue to wreck in the highway's eastern access point. Such cameras could not be used to issue tickets. That's against Ohio state law, which requires a law enforcement officer to actually witness the violation and ticket the driver. The news comes after two more truck crashes on Interstate 71 either before or inside the tunnel in the past two days. Thursday's crash involved a truck tipping over and losing a 24,000-pound load of copy machines just south of the Lytle Tunnel, which closed northbound lanes of the interstate for about four hours during the morning commute. The crash brought to 14 the total number of trucks to tip over either before, inside or just after the 1,000-foot tunnel since January 2001 — shortly after Fort Washington Way became fully operational after a $328 million renovation. Roughly 100,000 cars and 20,000 trucks a day use the 1.5-mile stretch that connects I-71, I-75 and U.S. 50. While no one has yet been seriously hurt, the previous 13 crashes have caused average delays of 4 hours, 24 minutes. The causes of the recent wrecks have yet to be determined. Truck drivers and others have said that the curve, which was made sharper when the highway was redesigned, is unsafe at any speed. Mr. Bassil also said ODOT would look at other ideas, including radar cameras as well as other suggestions that include warnings broadcast over CB radio frequencies and radar-equipped signs that flash the speed of oncoming vehicles.

Find out why a jury of ordinary American drivers awarded billions of dollars to the thousands of burn victims that self-confessed "engineering whores" for General Motors jokingly named "Crispy Critters". Read why racing drivers can walk away from 677mph fender-benders without injury (yes, that's SIX-Hundred and Seventy-Seven MPH!), while highway motorists die in 5mph airbag "accidents". [In 1996, Craig Breedlove had a series of runs at Black Rock Desert, Nevada, in his Spirit of America that peaked at 677 mph before the desert wind sent his car careening on its side. Minor fender damage and gobs of desert sucked into the jet engine sent him back to the drawing board. Order a piece of the remains. See above.] Pinto Madness"Mother Jones has obtained secret documents showing that for seven years the Ford Motor Company sold cars in which it knew hundreds of people would needlessly burn to death. Because assembly-line machinery was already tooled when engineers found this defect, top Ford officials decided to manufacture the car anyway—exploding gas tank and all—even though Ford owned the patent on a much safer gas tank. So, even when a crash test showed that that one-pound, one-dollar piece of plastic stopped the puncture of the gas tank, it was thrown out as extra cost and extra weight. By conservative estimates Pinto crashes have caused 500 burn deaths to people who would not have been seriously injured if the car had not burst into flames. The figure could be as high as 900. Seventy or more people will burn to death in those cars every year for many years to come. Burning Pintos have become such an embarrassment to Ford that its advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson, dropped a line from the end of a radio spot that read "Pinto leaves you with that warm feeling." Ford waited eight years because its internal "cost-benefit analysis," which places a dollar value on human life, said it wasn't profitable to make the changes sooner. Ford has crash-tested the Pinto at a top-secret site more than 40 times and that every test made at over 25 mph without special structural alteration of the car has resulted in a ruptured fuel tank. As Lee Iacocca was fond of saying [allegeding], "Safety doesn't sell." The cost of retooling Pinto assembly lines and of equipping each car with a safety gadget like that $5.08 Goodyear bladder was, company accountants calculated, greater than that of paying out millions to survivors or to widows and widowers of victims. A Washington research firm found that 400,000 cars were burning up every year, burning more than 3,000 people to death.The original draft of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act provided for criminal sanction against a manufacturer who willfully placed an unsafe car on the market. Early in the proceedings the auto industry lobbied the provision out of the bill. One wonders how long the Ford Motor Company would continue to market lethal cars were Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca serving 20-year terms in Leavenworth for consumer homicide." General Motors ordered to pay "Crispy Critters" $5-Billion - a small price to pay to keep its execs out of prisonLA Times, 30 April, 2001 - How much should General Motors Corp. spend to keep people from burning to death in fiery crashes? In a memo nearly 30 years ago, a young GM engineer, Edward C. Ivey (now bribed-for-silence GM's director of chassis engineering), suggested that the answer was: Not much. With a couple of simple calculations, Ivey estimated that these fiery deaths were costing GM only about $2 per vehicle--the implication being that it was not enough to justify the expense of changing the vehicles' design. Now the memo and GM's stealth tactics have been revealed in court, and from the furious response of judges and juries, GM may have brought more grief on itself by not producing it in the first place. A Georgia judge berated GM for scheming "to defraud and mislead several courts, to thwart and obstruct justice and to enjoy the ill-gotten gains of likely perjury." And in a Los Angeles case that drew heavily on the Ivey affair, GM in 1999 suffered a then-record verdict of $4.9 billion (later reduced to $3-Billion). For one of his assignments, Ivey prowled through a junkyard, examining wrecked cars to see which fuel systems held up best. And in June 1973, he wrote his combustible memo. The financial rewards of designing safer fuel systems would be minimal for GM. In the first computation, Ivey estimated that burn fatalities were costing GM about $2.40 per car. In the second, he found that avoiding future deaths would be worth $2.20 to GM for each new model. In his computations, Ivey used $200,000 for the value of a human life.

Unsafe at any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile (2nd Ed—out of print)Drivers-rights attorney Ralph Nader, quoting David Soloman's report for the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA), "Accidents on Main Rural Highways Related to Speed, Driver and Vehicle", a report referenced in American Autobahn: "For decades, speed was the subject of the most widespread slogans drummed into the public. 'Speed kills' and 'slow down and live' are familiar ones peddled by the National Safety Council.... The findings showed a more complex picture of the role of speed than had ever been assumed before. Accident involvement rates are at a minimum at speeds between fifty and seventy five miles per hour.... Although obviously the severity of accidents is greater at higher speeds, the study revealed that considering accident frequency rates and severity, the number of injuries per vehicle miles traveled is at its minimum." [The report proved "speeding" was up to six times safer than driving a speed limit, even with 1950s technology—webmaster John Lee.] Enforcement of the law brings no pressure on the car makers to increase the safety of their vehicles." Nader's engineering analysis of inferior suspension design resulted in the introduction to America of the modern "independent suspension", as currently used on front-wheel-drive passenger vehicles and on rear-wheel-drive sports cars, and expanded the factory installation of high-performance "anti-sway" bars on all vehicles in order to reduce rollovers. Despite the Beetle's design being 30 years older than the Corvair, GM's own engineering reports [released during Corvair lawsuits] revealed that GM knew the VW Beetle OUTPERFORMED THE CORVAIR BY 90%! The poor Corvair was unable to even out-perform a Ford Falcon in Ford's own films of normal driving situations. Nader forced the redesign of the Corvair, as Car & Driver wrote in 1965, "Chevy's All-New Corvair--We Love It!": "Despite the widespread misconception that the old Corvair was 'almost' a sports car, it was one of the nastiest handling cars ever built. The tail gave little warning that it was about to let go, and when it did, it let go with a vengence few drivers could cope with. The rear wheels would lose traction, tuck under, and with the tail end jacked up in the air, the car would swing around like a 3-pound hammer on a 30-foot string."

Speed is questioned in crash trialThe Cincinnati Enquirer, February 27, 2002 - Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers improperly rushed to judgment in a June 4 crash that nearly wiped out a Georgia family, a defense attorney told jurors as Jerad Rushlow's trial opened Tuesday in Lebanon Municipal Court. A trooper acknowledged he had no evidence that Mr. Rushlow was traveling too fast in a rainstorm when the trooper filed three vehicular homicide charges against the 19-year-old cosmetology student. Trooper Kevin Bryant of the Lebanon post said speed calculations were not completed until later in the investigation. "What criminal act did Jerad Rushlow commit?" defense attorney Jay Clark asked. "He slid through the median and killed three people," Trooper Bryant answered. The credibility of the investigation of the crash that injured Gary Hinkle of Peachtree City, and killed his 48-year-old wife, Nancy, and their daughters, Elizabeth and Emily, is central to the defense. Mr. Rushlow, of Newport, Mich., contends that troopers miscalculated his speed at the time his 1996 Ford Explorer went out of control on northbound Interstate 75 and struck the Hinkles' Buick Park Avenue. Mr. Rushlow faces up to six months in jail on each misdemeanor charge if convicted. Motorcyclists & Crash Barriers Project Report - Directorate General for Energy and Transport of the European Commission
Federation of European Motorcyclist Assns, FIM (Fédération Internationale Motocycliste), ETSC (European Transport Safety Council) - A proposal for a Project to develop recommendations to Road Traffic Authorities for reducing injuries to motorcyclists in collision with crash barriers, with emphasis being given to low-cost protective measures and preferred crash barrier systems and installation practices Crash barriers exist to protect road users when they are involved in a road traffic accident. For one group of users however they usually result in greater injuries and a greater likelihood of being killed. The motorcyclist is not contained within a vehicle and consequently it is often the rider that makes contact with the crash barrier, which is made to withstand the impact and absorb the energy of a vehicle weighing up to 40 tons. The very construction of certain crash barriers in common use, with their exposed, sharpedged metal posts, the height and profile of their guard-rails, their proximity to the carriageway, and even in some instances, their use of steel ropes as the means of arresting a vehicle, could not be more damaging to a motorcyclist coming into contact with them than if they had been designed with that objective in mind. The seriousness of the situation is recognised by Directorate-General VII with the question of crash barriers and motorcycles being identified as a priority action in the European Commission's communication "Promoting Road Safety in the EU - The Programme for 1997 to 2001". COM (97)131 final, of the 9th April 1997. The document set out a work programme for Commission action, and crash barriers and motorcyclists feature under Field III- "Reduction of Consequences of Accidents -Forgiving Roadside Design". FEMA, as Europe's representative organisation of road-riding motorcyclists, together with our affiliated national riders' organisations, have long been campaigning on this subject. To a rider used to French and German motorways, where the crash barriers are built immediately adjacent to the road, Belgian motorways appear to be signicantly safer in the event of a fall. An obstacle free area of several meters exists between the side of the road and the barrier. To a motorcyclist, this is an area for deceleration before impacting the posts of the barrier. Furthermore shrubs are planted on the central reserve, offering an additionnal kinetic energy absorbing cushion for the unlucky motorcyclist. In Holland, in urban areas, the presence of cycle lanes on the side of the road, acts as an fixed-obstacle-free safety zone where a rider falling can land without hitting roadside furniture (roadsigns, traffic light), or being ran over by a car. Edges of sidewalks can be cut to reduce agressiveness of shapes. Guardrail posts require CBP polystyrene impact attenuators. The main problem with concrete barriers is the lack of kinetic energy absoption capability, be it for a car or for a human body. The impact speed is usually reduced significantly between accident and impact against barrier, through abrasion on road surface. Cables are however widely criticised by motorcyclists as being a human scale "cheese cutter". There is a specific danger when radius of the curve is not constant, especially with decreasing radius. 'I' shaped posts (IPE 100) should not be used in new installations and when damaged should be replaced with less hazardous types of post. When they exist, they should be fitted with an impact attenuator. Research has shown that they cause very serious injuries, even to the head when crash helmets are worn. Road with gravel or slippery road, should be equipped with motorcycle friendly device whenever a crash barrier is present. The same applies to work areas or curves where the road surface is of poor quality. Tricky bends where curve radius is not constant should be equipped with MFD. A specific effort should be made in the areas of regular biker meetings or areas attracting large number of motorcyclists, such as the "Bol d'Or" in France, the Faro Rally in Portugal, the 24 hour race at Spa-Francorchamp in Belgium, etc. We recommand that Europe Wide programme for equipping a significant number of crash barriers with motorcycle friendly devices be launched. Dead drivers don't wear seatbelts - Simpson intimidates NASCARDale Earnhardt, reportedly a confessed gangster with race-revenues of $50-Million per year, was not required by NASCAR to pass routine legality at its Daytona Motor Speedway home, according to independent pit-lane eyewitnesses. Four NASCAR drivers died from NASCAR's incompetence, negligence and criminal recklessness within 12 months of this driver's alleged suicide by intentionally and habitually unlatching his crashbelts before the end of a race. LA TIMES (AP), FEB 14, 2002 - "Simpson Sues NASCAR Over Earnhardt Report" - Bill Simpson said all he wanted was an apology. Now he's taking NASCAR to court. The former owner of Simpson Performance Products sued NASCAR on Wednesday, claiming it wrongly blamed his company's seat belt for Dale Earnhardt's death a year ago. He said he would not have filed the suit had NASCAR apologized. "It was not a money issue. It was just an apology," said Simpson, who filed an $8.5-million defamation of character suit in Marion County Superior Court four days before NASCAR's biggest event, the Daytona 500. "That's what we tried to get [Tuesday]," he said. "We went all day long. And that was not going to happen." Now it's too late, said attorney Robert Horn, who also is seeking an unspecified amount from NASCAR for damage to Simpson's reputation. "We're at a different level now," Horn said. "Before we filed this suit, we touched every base and took every opportunity to resolve this, and they wouldn't [apologize]." ESPN, FEB 14, 2002 - "Our contention is that if Simpson belts are properly mounted, they won't fail," attorney Robert Horn said. "The truth in this case is that that belt did not fail because of any defect in the belt, that the belt failed because it was improperly mounted in Dale Earnhardt's car." CNN NEWS, FEB 12,2002 - "Horn said Simpson was prepared to drop the suit Tuesday if NASCAR would have offered a formal apology. "All the talks were about trying to get them to give us an apology," Horn said. "That is what we would have accepted, and they weren't willing to do that." Instead, the defamation lawsuit that is prepared will ask for damages totaling more than $8.5 million, including $6 million for loss of business advantage and $2.5 million for loss of profits and earnings. Simpson believes NASCAR made him a scapegoat in the accident that killed seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt. The crash occurred almost a year ago on the final lap of the Daytona 500. The racing-equipment manufacturer has said he received death threats and saw his employees harassed after NASCAR announced last Feb. 23 -- five days after the fatal wreck -- that it had found a broken Simpson lap belt in Earnhardt's crashed No. 3 Chevrolet. At the core of the dispute is the news conference in Rockingham, N.C., where Dr. Steve Bohannon, director of emergency medical services at Daytona International Speedway, appeared with top NASCAR officials, offering a [wild conspiracy] theory that the belt failure might have contributed to Earnhardt's fatal head injuries. The announcement shifted focus to the possible belt failure. Simpson has remained vociferous in his criticism of NASCAR hierarchy ever since the announcement, believing he was used as a scapegoat to conceal the sanctioning body's lack of attention to safety issues. Last July, Simpson quit the day-to-day management post of the company he founded in 1958. His resignation came four years after selling majority interest to Charlotte, N.C.-based Carousel Capital, headed by Nelson Schwab. Yet Simpson still holds 33 percent ownership in Simpson Performance Products. Simpson told CNNSI.com in July that his resignation was fallout from the lingering dispute with NASCAR. "It's just the fact that I've been drug through what I have been drug through," Simpson said during the July interview in Indianapolis. "I know in my heart that I have done nothing wrong or my company has done nothing wrong. You can't imagine what we have gone through. ... It's not just me, my company. It's righteously screwed my company up. It's affected all my employees. It has affected me. Dr. Barry Myers, an independent expert, concluded last summer that even if the lap belt broke during Earnhardt's crash, it happened after the occurrence of the fatal injury. A report prepared by NASCAR's experts last August, however, failed to rule out seat-belt failure. Simpson and his attorneys were also upset that their separate findings were not included in the NASCAR report. The lawsuit is likely to request a jury trial, and presumably the filing in Indianapolis is a strategic maneuver. Because it is headquartered in Daytona, with a Charlotte office, the presumption is NASCAR might enjoy a home-court advantage if the case were to be heard in Florida or North Carolina."

There are sports drinks that are supposed to replace nutrients lost during exertion, these would work fine if they had more than sugar,salt and potassium,and food coloring. Vitamins control the body's ability to absorb, and use minerals, and without minerals, vitamins have no purpose,and are quickly eliminated from the body. It is a huge waste of money to gobble handfuls of high potency tablets, without backing them up with the right minerals. It's like trying to run your car with a full tank of gas, but no oil in the engine. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but without minerals, vitamins are useless. This discovery is one of the latest and most important revelation by science about human health. Research has shown direct correlations between mineral deficiencies and illnesses. For example, diabetes or hypoglycemia involve chromium, zinc and vanadium deficiencies; cancer and heart disease involve selenium, copper, and more.

Europe bans 90% of vitamins to promote 80% genocide by bioweapons for New World Order - USA next on hit list - Euro-MPs vote for clampdown on vitamin sales. THE European Parliament voted yesterday for a clampdown on unfettered sales of vitamins and mineral supplements, defying a lobbying campaign by the health food industry. The parliament's computer system crashed under the strain of thousands of speed-dial emails, wildly claiming that the new directive would ban 300 popular supplements and drive British health stores out of business. In Strasbourg, Euro-MPs were accosted by activists handing out a propaganda video accusing five European commissioners of corruptly colluding with big pharmaceutical firms in an attempt to destroy the alternative network of homoeopathic and natural medicines. The new law will bring Britain into line with the rest of Europe over the next 10 years, requiring manufacturers of vitamins and minerals to carry out scientific tests proving that their products are safe (costing up to $100-million each and taking at least 3 years). Only 50 or so vitamins and minerals are on the safe list in most EU countries, so rarer products such as Selenium compounds used to treat cancer can only be obtained through prescription drugs, generating a much higher profit for the big drug companies. Small companies producing many vitamins and minerals considered a life-saver by people with unusual ailments would have great trouble meeting the costs of full testing on each product. Can cigarettes really be compared to Crack?
The modern American cigarette is to tobacco what crack is to cocaine. We've all heard that crack can addict on the first try. We've all been disgusted by the pregnant moms who prostitute themselves for another hit of this mysterious substance. But I've wondered what made crack so potent to overpower a mother's maternal instincts to protect her unborn child, and I've doubted that cigarettes really could ever be compared to a substance that leads one to kill, rob, or prostitute. After all, who's been murdered for a Marlboro? [Other than car crashes from fumbling to light a cigarette, night-blindness by carbon monoxide, nicotine withdrawal symptoms that affect mental function, crashing on a trip to the store to buy cigarettes, or hijacked trucks for bootleg cigarettes]. But still the statistics tell us that more people can quit cocaine, crack or heroin than nicotine. Most smokers, when asked, say they wish they had never started. [Most are already addicted as children before age 18, often through illegal "subliminal advertising" such as the morphed penis/vagina airbrushed into the face of Nabisco/RJR's "Joe Camel", a logo more recognizable to preschool children than Disney's Mickey Mouse.] But, just as they say their products are only like gummy bears, they recently maintain that their use of ammonia, a primary ingredient in urine, is only to improve a cigarette's taste. Rat poison was also used to improve taste in pipe tobacco. The tobacco companies have never officially disclosed their addition of ammonia, which has only come to light in the recent cigarette litigation. It is not a natural constituent of tobacco. The free base process simultaneously matches the PH of the tobacco smoke to the PH of the lungs. Dr. Pankow's research is found in the August issue of Environmental Science and Technology, by the American Chemical Society, and shows that the amount of nicotine available to a smoker could be increased by 100 times by freebasing [thus 100 times more addictive, regardless of the nicotine content]. The average smoker dies 22 years earlier than the average nonsmoker. Infect-Truth is contagious: "$22 million worth of tobacco communication bombards us every day. Tobacco kills 1070 more Americans every day than car crashes and kills an additional 15,000 unborn babies every year in America." As the Philip Morris website confessed: "Cigarette smoking is addictive, as that term is most commonly used today. It can be very difficult to quit smoking, but this should not deter smokers who want to quit from trying to do so." FARM BUREAU NEWS: Nonsmoker makes Citizen's Arrest of smoker.

As Senator Daniel Moynihan, PhD says, "The typical bureau of motor vehicles is filled with deservedly low-paid clerks and run by an assortment of genial "pols" with utterly no training or interest in traffic safety." As liberal journalist George Will says, "Daniel Patrick Moynihan is the finest senator ever. Period!" As Richard Krulman writes in Killer Roads: From Crash to Verdict, "Negligence Theory—the First License to Kill.... Soverign Immunity—the Second License to Kill.... Every driver in the United States can, statistically, expect to be in a crash once a decade.... This mayhem cannot be dismissed as mere bad driving. Bad transportation facilities are slaughtering good drivers and making bad drivers worse." Barbarians crash Detroit"New Order of Barbarians", by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan, a pediatrician from Pittsburgh, PA, regarding a March 20, 1969 after-dinner lecture to Pittsburgh Pediatric Society by Dr. Richard Day, Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh, Medical Director of "Planned Parenthood" Federation of America - AKA Population Control and Reduction by Force. Dr Dunegan first spoke about Dr Day's lecture in 1988. Dr Day died the next year. - The speaker said that his purpose was to tell us about changes which would be brought about in the next 30 years or so . . . so that an entirely new world-wide system would be in operation before the turn of the century. As he put it, "We plan to enter the 21st Century with a running start. Everything is in place and nobody can stop us now." He was very active with population control groups, the population control movement, and population control was really the entry point into specifics following the introduction. He said the population is growing too fast. Numbers of people living at any one time on the planet must be limited or we will run out of space to live. We will outgrow our food supply and we will over-pollute the world with our waste. To me, up to this point, the word "population control" primarily connoted limiting the number of babies to be born. But this remark, about what people would be "allowed" and then what followed, made it quite clear that when you hear "population control" that means more than just controlling births. It means control of every endeavor of an entire... of the entire world population; a much broader meaning to that term than I had ever attached to it before hearing this. Everybody has a right to live only so long. The old are no longer useful. They become a burden. You should be ready to accept death. Most people are. An arbitrary age limit could be established. Automobile traffic patterns - there would be more high-speed traffic lanes . . traffic patterns that would . . that older people with their slower reflexes would have trouble dealing with and thus, lose some of their independence. A big item – [that] was elaborated at some length – was the cost of medical care would be burdensomely high. Medical care would be connected very closely with one's work, but also would be made very, very high in cost so that it would simply be unavailable to people beyond a certain time. And unless they had a remarkably rich, supporting family, they would just have to do without care. I didn't understand it at the time — as an aside, the way this works, everybody's made dependent on insurance. And if you don't have insurance then you pay directly; the cost of your care is enormous. The insurance company, however, paying for your care, does not pay that same amount. If you are charged, say, $600 on your part, they pay $300 or $400. And that differential in billing has the desired effect: It enables the insurance company to pay for that which you could never pay for. They get a discount that's unavailable to you. The whole billing is fraudulent. The image of the doctor would change. No longer would he be seen as an individual professional in service to individual patients. But the doctor would be gradually recognized as a highly skilled technician... and his job would change. The job is to include things like executions by lethal injection. The image of the doctor being a powerful, independent person would have to be changed. And he went on to say, "Doctors are making entirely too much money. Keep in mind, this was an audience of doctors being addressed by a doctor. And it was interesting that he would make some rather insulting statements to his audience without fear of antagonizing us. The solo practitioner would become a thing of the past. Group practice would be encouraged, corporations would be encouraged, and then once the corporate image of medical care... as this gradually became more and more acceptable, doctors would more and more become employees rather than independent contractors. And along with that, of course, unstated but necessary, is the employee serves his employer, not his patient. Next heading to talk about is HEALTH & DISEASE. He said there would be new diseases to appear which had not ever been seen before. Would be very difficult to diagnose and be untreatable — at least for a long time. No elaboration was made on this, but I remember, not long after hearing this presentation, when I had a puzzling diagnosis to make, I would be wondering, "Is this ... was what he was talking about? Is this a case of what he was talking about?". Some years later, as AIDS ultimately developed, I think AIDS was at least one example of what he was talking about. I now think that AIDS probably was a manufactured disease. He said, "We can cure almost every cancer right now. Information is on file in the Rockefeller Institute, if it's ever decided that it should be released. But consider - if people stop dying of cancer, how rapidly we would become overpopulated. You may as well die of cancer as something else." Efforts at cancer treatment would be geared more toward comfort than toward cure. There was some statement ultimately the cancer cures which were being hidden in the Rockefeller Institute would come to light because independent researchers might bring them out, despite these efforts to suppress them. But at least for the time being, letting people die of cancer was a good thing to do because it would slow down the problem of overpopulation. Another very interesting thing was heart attacks. He said, "There is now a way to simulate a real heart attack. It can be used as a means of assassinates." Only a very skilled pathologist who knew exactly what to look for at an autopsy, could distinguish this from the real thing. I thought that was a very surprising and shocking thing to hear from this particular man at that particular time. This, and the business of the cancer cure, really still stand out sharply in my memory, because they were so shocking and, a that time, seemed to me out of character. He then went on to talk about nutrition and exercise, sort of in the same framework. People would not have to... people would have to eat right and exercise right to live as long as before. Most won't. This, in the connection of nutrition, there was no specific statement that I can recall as to particular nutrients that would be either inadequate or in excess. And he said something about diet information — about proper diet — would be widely available, but most people – particularly stupid people, who had no right to continue living anyway – they would ignore the advice and just go on and eat what was convenient and tasted good. There were some other unpleasant things said about food. I just can't recall what they were. But I do remember of... having reflections about wanting to plant a garden in the backyard to get around whatever these contaminated foods would be. I regret I don't remember the details... the rest of this... about nutrition and hazardous nutrition. This was all presented as sort of a moral judgment about people and what they should do with their energies. People who are smart, who would learn about nutrition, and who are disciplined enough to eat right and exercise right are better people – and the kind you want to live longer. And this was said in connection with health, and later in connection with education, and connecting to accelerating the process of evolutionary change. There was a statement that "we think that we can push evolution faster and in the direction we want it to go." As regards education, he indicated that kids would spend more time in schools, but in many schools they wouldn't learn anything. By pushing kids to learn more, he seemed to be suggesting that their brains would evolve, that their offspring would evolve – sort of pushing evolution. He was already talking about computers in education, and at that time he said anybody who wanted computer access, or access to books that were not directly related to their field of study would have to have a very good reason for so doing. Otherwise, access would be denied. these pressures he recognized would cause some students to burn out. He said, "the smartest ones will learn how to cope with pressures and to survive. There will be some help available to students in handling stress, but the unfit won't be able to make it. They will then move on to other things." Somewhere in this connection, then, was the statement admitting that some scientific research data could be – and indeed HAS been – falsified in order to bring about desired results. And here was said, "People don't ask the right questions. Some people are too trusting." Change, nothing is permanent. Streets would be rerouted, renamed. Areas you had not seen in a while would become unfamiliar. Among other things, this would contribute to older people feeling that it was time to move on, they feel they couldn't even keep up with the changes in areas that were once familiar. Buildings would be allowed to stand empty and deteriorate, and streets would be allowed to deteriorate in certain localities. The purpose of this was to provide the jungle, the depressed atmosphere for the unfit. Somewhere in this same connection he mentioned that buildings and bridges would be made so that they would collapse after a while; there would be more accidents involving airplanes and railroads and automobiles. All of this to contribute to the feeling of insecurity, that nothing was safe. Not too long after this presentation, and I think one or two even before in the area where I live, we had some newly constructed bridge to break; another newly constructed bridge defect discovered before it broke, and I remember reading just scattered incidents around the country where shopping malls would fall in – right where they were filled with shoppers. And I remember that one of the shopping malls in our area, the first building I'd ever been in where you could feel this vibration throughout the entire building when there were a lot of people in there; and I remember wondering at that time whether this shopping mall was one of the buildings he was talking about. Talking to construction people and architects about it they would say, "Oh no, that's good when the building vibrates like that. That means it's flexible, not rigid." Well... maybe so. We'll wait and see. And at this point there was some discussion of steel and particularly automobiles. I remember him saying that automobiles would be imported from Japan on an equal footing with our own domestically produced automobiles, but the Japanese product would be better. Things would be made so they would break and fall apart – that is, in the United States – so that people would tend to prefer the imported variety and this would give a bit of a boost to foreign competitors. One example, was Japanese. In 1969, Japanese automobiles – if they were sold here at all, I don't remember – but they certainly weren't very popular. But the idea was, you could get a little bit disgusted with your Ford, GM, or Chrysler product – or whatever – because little things like window handles would fall off more, and plastic parts would break which, had they been made of metal, would hold up. Your patriotism about buying American would soon give way to practicality that if you bought Japanese, German, or imported that it would last longer and you would be better off. Patriotism would go down the drain then. It was mentioned elsewhere, things being made to fall apart too. I don't remember specific items or if they were even stated other than automobiles, but I do recall of having the impression, sort of in my imagination, of a surgeon having something fall apart in his hands in the operating room, at a critical time. Was he including this sort of thing in his discussion? But somewhere in this discussion about things being made deliberately defective and unreliable not only was to tear down patriotism but to be just a little source of irritation to people who would use such things. Again, the idea that you not feel terribly secure, promoting the notion that the world isn't a terribly reliable place. The United States was to be kept strong in information, communications, high technology, education and agriculture. The United States was seen as continuing to be sort of the keystone of this global system. But heavy industry would be transported out. Drug use would be increased. Alcohol use would be increased. Law enforcement efforts against drugs would be increased. On first hearing that, it sounded like a contradiction. Why increase drug abuse and simultaneously increase law enforcement against drug abuse? But the idea is that, in part, the increased availability of drugs would provide a sort of law of the jungle whereby the weak and the unfit would be selected out. There was a statement made at the time: "Before the earth was overpopulated, there was a law of the jungle where only the fittest survived." Alcohol abuse would be both promoted and demoted at the same time. The vulnerable and the weak would respond to the promotions and, therefore, use and abuse more alcohol. Drunk driving would become more of a problem; and stricter rules about driving under the influence would be established so that more and more people would lose their privilege to drive. More jails would be needed. Hospitals could serve as jails. Some new hospital construction would be designed so as to make them adaptable to jail-like use. This also had connection with something we'll get to later about overall restrictions on travel. Not everybody should be free to travel the way they do now in the United States. People don't have a need to travel that way. It's a privilege! It was a kind of a high-handed way it was put. Again, much more in the way of psychological services would be made available to help those who got hooked on drugs and alcohol. The idea being, that in order to promote this – drug and alcohol abuse to screen out some of the unfit people who are otherwise pretty good – would also be subject to getting hooked. And if they were really worth their salt they would have enough sense to seek psychological counseling and to benefit from it. So this was presented as sort of a redeeming value on the part of the planners. It was as if he were saying, "you think we're bad in promoting these evil things — but look how nice we are – we're also providing a way out!" He said, "the smartest ones will learn how to cope with pressures and to survive. There will be some help available to students in handling stress, but the unfit won't be able to make it. They will then move on to other things. If you're dumb enough to be convinced by our promotion of... you don't deserve a place and you're going to fall by the wayside sooner or later. We'll be rid of you. We'll select out... the people who will survive are those who are also smart enough not to be deluded by our propaganda." So, I think one of the weapons we have against the controllers is that if we can cut off his access to our mind then we have a shot at escaping the manipulation, if not totally - at least escape a portion of the manipulations. Remember, one of the books on Chinese POWs pointed out that some of their survivors in order NOT to be brainwashed broke their eardrums. And in that way - not being able to hear - the enemy could not have access to their brain and therefore they were able to survive where others did not. And in our popular culture we have a number of things... TV and radio probably primarily, that are the constant means by which the opposition has access to our brain and to our children's brains. So I think the logical conclusion, and one of the common-sense conclusions is that if you don't want the enemy to have access you have to cut off the lines of access. When he mentioned bringing in the New World Order, he said, "This time we're going to do it right". Looking back over history there are many individuals who had an idea of what a New World Order should be, certainly Hitler and Stalin did, but what was lacking during these periods is that they lacked the technology to carry many a many of the things out... surveillance, constant monitoring... but in this so-called New World Order it's going to be very difficult to escape because technology will provide those means which had been lacking those totalitarian individuals from years ago. Another comment that was made . . from time to time during the presentation was, "People are too trusting. People don't ask the right questions." Another comment that was repeated from time to time... this particularly in relation to changing laws and customs... and specific changes... he said, "Everything has two purposes. One is the ostensible purpose which will make it acceptable to people; and second, is the real purpose which would further the goals of establishing the new system and having it." Anyhow, the new system would be brought in, if not by peaceful cooperation – everybody willingly yielding national sovereignty – then by bringing the nation to the brink of nuclear war. And everybody would be so fearful as hysteria is created by the possibility of nuclear war that there would be a strong public outcry to negotiate a public peace and people would willingly give up national sovereignty in order to achieve peace, and thereby this would bring in the New International Political System. This was stated and very impressive thing to hear then... "If there were too many people in the right places who resisted this, there might be a need to use one or two – possibly more – nuclear weapons. As it was put this would be possibly needed to convince people that "We mean business". That was followed by the statement that, "By the time one or two of those went off then everybody – even the most reluctant – would yield." He said something about "this negotiated peace would be very convincing," as kind of in a framework or in a context that the whole thing was rehearsed but nobody would know it. People hearing about it would be convinced that it was a genuine negotiation between hostile enemies who finally had come to the realization that peace was better than war. Another justification expressed for war was, if you think of the many millions of casualties in WWI and WWII, well… suppose all those people had not died but had continued to live, then continued to have babies. There would be millions upon millions and we would already be overpopulated, so those two great wars served a benign purpose in delaying over-population. But now there are technological means for the individual and governments to control over-population so in this regard war is obsolete. There was a discussion of terrorism. Terrorism would be used widely in Europe and in other parts of the world. Terrorism at that time was thought would not be necessary in the United States. It could become necessary in the United States if the United States did not move rapidly enough into accepting the system. But at least in the foreseeable future it was not planned. And very benignly on their part. Maybe terrorism would not be required here, but the implication being that it would be indeed used if it was necessary. Along with this came a bit of a scolding that Americans had had it too good anyway and just a little bit of terrorism would help convince Americans that the world is indeed a dangerous place... or can be if we don't relinquish control to the proper authorities. When the new system takes over people will be expected to sign allegiance to it, indicating that they don't have any reservations or holding back to the old system. "There just won't be any room", he said, "for people who won't go along. We can't have such people cluttering up the place so such people would be taken to special places," And here I don't remember the exact words, but the inference I drew was that at these special places where they were taken, then they would not live very long. He may have said something like, "disposed of humanely", but I don't remember very precisely... just the impression the system was not going to support them when they would not go along with the system. That would leave death as the only alternative. Somewhere in this vein he said there would not be any martyrs. When I first heard this I thought it meant the people would not be killed, but as the presentation developed what he meant was they would not be killed in such a way or disposed of in such a way that they could serve as inspiration to other people the way martyrs do. Rather he said something like this. "People will just disappear." Frequently he would say, "There is just no other way. There's just no other way!" This seemed to come as a sort of an apology, particularly when... at the conclusion of describing some particularly offensive changes. Something in his remarks suggested that there could be negative repercussions against him if his... if it became widely known what he was about to say to... our group... if it became widely known that he spilled the beans, so to speak. |

Hidden video of Satan worship and human sacrifice at annual Presidential Retreat as reported in 25 pages of the New York Times in January 2002 Psycho politicians fearing impeachment and prison for defrauding taxpayers begged sheriff for martial lawMilwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin, Feb. 27, 2002 - As citizen furor over Milwaukee County's pension scandal mounted early last month, Supervisor Kathy Arciszewski made a 3 a.m. telephone call to then-Sheriff Lev Baldwin, asking him to consider declaring the equivalent of martial law. Arciszewski - who revealed during a town hall meeting Monday that she made the request - said she was dead serious. "I said, 'Lev, this is getting out of control. We must put this community at ease,' " Arciszewski said in an interview Tuesday. "At the time, you've got to remember, the community didn't trust the county executive and legislative body. "I thought that if Lev Baldwin would step in for 30 days, we could look for a solution to the problem. . . . He discussed that with Tom (Ament), and they decided no. The county executive said that's martial law and they didn't think that it called for that. I needed to ask. I wasn't directing, I was asking." Arciszewski's revelation stunned people who packed the Greendale High School cafeteria for the meeting she called to explain the pension mess. Arciszewski, the target of a recall effort because she approved pension and sick-leave benefit enhancements and then defended them even after supervisors admitted they had made mistakes, was hoping to slow the movement to oust her. Instead, she appears to have fanned the flames. "At the time, we were just gasping. I was going, 'What? What did I hear?' We were just looking at each other and saying, 'Where did that come from?'" said Herbert Ripka, who organized the recall movement against her. "I'm more glad than ever that I filed the recall. Let's just leave it at that," he said. Bryan Olen, spokesman for the group behind the Ament recall effort, termed Arciszewski's request "very strange." "I ended up saying: 'Kathy, it's 3 o'clock in the morning. I think we need to talk about it in the morning,' " Baldwin said. "She was very concerned. She was in my office at 7 a.m. I explained it's not in the constitutional authority of sheriff to do that." During Monday's meeting, an emotional Arciszewski apologized for approving the pension package, which could have awarded million-dollar-plus payouts to top county managers. The meeting was punctuated by jeers, shouts and calls for her to step down. Supervisor Mark Borkowski said he was stunned to learn of Arciszewski's request. "Martial law? I don't know where that came from. What would that have meant? Sheriff deputies on each corner? It's ludicrous," he said. The effort against her already has more than 5,300 signatures, in excess of the required 3,492. In other developments, recall papers were filed with the Milwaukee County Election Commission on Tuesday against Supervisor Lori Lutzka, bringing to 10 the number of supervisors facing recall efforts.

Shotgun-toting Morris Dees, Esquire, author of Klanwatch: "In 1981, in response to the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, the Southern Poverty Law Center began to monitor hate activity. The Intelligence Project identified 194 "Patriot" groups that were active in 2000. Of these groups, 72 were militias, three were "common-law courts" and the remainder fit into a variety of categories such as publishers, ministries, citizens' groups and others. Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the "New World Order" or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law enforcement sources and news reports. Groups are identified by the city, county or region where they are located. The Center's quarterly Intelligence Report offers in-depth analysis of political extremism and bias crimes in the United States. The Intelligence Report profiles Far Right leaders, monitors domestic terrorism and reports on the activities of extremist groups. Its annual listing of hate groups and Patriot groups is the most comprehensive in the United States. Spring 2002 issue: While the carnage of September 11 left most Americans shocked, angry and more tightly knit as a nation, the reaction of much of the American radical right was markedly different. For many American extremists, it boiled down to one simple emotion: pure delight. "Twenty-five years ago, your typical white supremacist wrapped himself in the flag and spoke about '100 percent Americanism,' " said Joe Roy, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project. "Today, that same extremist is burning the flag." The extremists' message - that the United States has become the spearhead of globalization and multiculturalism - has fueled the rise of ethnic nationalism and the growth of hate groups in recent years. For the neo-Nazis, the "international Jew" represents all that threatens ethnically pure nations. In the words of William Pierce, leader of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, the September terrorists "had been pushed into a corner by the U.S. government acting on behalf of the Jews." For the neo-Confederates, the enemy is non-white immigration and the ideology of multiculturalism. In the words of Michael Hill, leader of the League of the South, the massacre was the result of "massive Third World immigration" and "a regime committed to multiculturalism and diversity." Hill was not the only one to attack non-white immigration. Anti-immigrant hate group leaders like Glenn Spencer of the Voice of Citizens Together (see "Blood on the Border," Spring 2001 issue, Intelligence Report) called for the immediate repatriation of all non-citizens. In the wake of the al Qaeda terrorist attacks last September, new light is thrown on the international ties that increasingly link Muslim and neo-Nazi extremists. Hatred of multiculturalism and the United States itself, highlighted by neo-Nazi endorsements of the September 11 massacre, helped drive up the number of hate groups last year to 676, a 12 percent increase. Propagandist Neal Horsley, who runs the infamous "Nuremberg Files" Web site, can be charming, threatening and profane. He also may be America's best-known anti-abortion activist and the most important rising figure on the hard Christian right. Ministries of the Christian Identity theology - which maintains that whites are the real chosen people of the Bible and Jews are biologically Satanic - held steady at a little over 30 groups despite the deaths of several major Identity figures last year. The number of hate sites on the World Wide Web rose in 2001 to 405 from 366 in 2000 - a 10 percent increase.

The answer, in our view, is absolutely. On Friday, The Washington Post broke the story of the "shadow government" – 100 or so bureaucrats who live in underground bunkers at two East Coast locations to ensure the continuity of government in case Washington gets burnt to a crisp. Some people probably feel that story shouldn't have been published. Hill people don't like finding these things out from the press. Lawmakers were not told of secret plans for an emergency shadow government. 'None of us knew about the secret government,' Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said. 'Not knowing things as basic as that is a pretty profound illustration of the chasm that exists sometimes with information' about the war." As Democrats launch their first criticisms of the Bush administration's war policies, several Republicans and conservative pundits have launched an all-out attack designed to frame virtually any criticism of the war on terrorism as illegitimate. The report said that terrorists were thought to have obtained a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon from the Russian arsenal and planned to smuggle it into New York City. The source of the report was a mercurial agent code-named dragonfire, who intelligence officials believed was of 'undetermined' reliability. But dragonfire's claim tracked with a report from a Russian general who believed his forces were missing a 10-kiloton device. Since the mid-'90s, proliferation experts have suspected that several portable nuclear devices might be missing from the Russian stockpile. That made the dragonfire report alarming. So did this: detonated in lower Manhattan, a 10-kiloton bomb would kill some 100,000 civilians and irradiate 700,000 more, flattening everything in a half-mile diameter. And so counterterrorist investigators went on their highest state of alert. 'It was brutal,' a U.S. official told Time. It was also highly classified and closely guarded. Under the aegis of the White House's Counterterrorism Security Group, part of the National Security Council, the suspected nuke was kept secret so as not to panic the people of New York. Senior FBI officials were not in the loop. Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani says he was never told about the threat. The South Dakotan said the war on terrorism can't be considered a success and Congress sure would like more information before writing blank checks to expand the effort. Waving his Vietnam War credentials like a flag, Senator John F. Kerry last night chastised two top Republicans who had not served in the military for their criticism of Democratic leaders. The Massachusetts Democrat, who received three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and a Silver Star in two Navy combat tours, told an audience of New Hampshire Democrats that he had fought to preserve the freedom of speech and the oversight of government actions. He contrasted his military service with that of Representative Tom DeLay of Texas and the Senate Republican leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi. Neither served in Vietnam or the military; both got student deferments. Last week both lashed out at comments by the Senate majority leader, Thomas A. Daschle of South Dakota, and Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, chairman of the Appropriations Committee. Lott and DeLay criticized the two Democrats for questioning the exit strategy and means for measuring success in Afghanistan. 'Let me be clear tonight to Senator Lott and to Tom DeLay: One of the lessons that I learned in Vietnam, a war they did not have to endure, and one of the basic vows of commitment that I made to myself, was that if I ever reached a position of responsibility, I would never stop asking questions that make a democracy strong,' Kerry said.

SEMA: Urgent Federal Scrappage Alert (AKA "legalized" car theft to force mandatory installation of microchip kill switches and GPS tracking for use by police - "free" cars to be resold to 3rd-world markets to profit cops and Mafia)U.S. Senate bill would fund Scrappage Programs nationwide. A bill (SB1766), authored by Senators Daschle (D-SD) and Bingaman (D-NM), has been introduced in the U.S. Senate containing a provision (Section 803) that would federally fund state scrappage programs for vehicles over 15 years old. "Owners" [ANYONE in possesion of any vehicle even WITHOUT title] who turn in vehicles for crushing would receive a "minimal" payment and a future credit toward purchasing a newer vehicle, all in a misguided attempt to improve the overall fuel economy of the country's vehicle fleet. This bill represents the most formidable Federal legislative threat to the vehicle hobby in many years. Section 803 of SB1766 does not guarantee that low-income individuals will be able to afford to purchase new vehicles – let alone more fuel efficient vehicles – with the money provided by scrappage programs. Section 803 of SB1766 ignores more socially responsible and cost-effective policy options like voluntary vehicle repair and upgrade programs that maximize the fuel efficiency of existing vehicles.

Machiavelli in 90 MinutesNiccolo Machiavelli - ambassador, secretary for war who employed Leonardo D'Vinci and POW - from his timeless political primer, The Prince (1513AD—still in print): "The people resemble a wild beast, which, naturally fierce and accustomed to live in the woods, has been brought up, as it were, in a prison and in servitude, and having by accident got its liberty, not being accustomed to search for its food, and not knowing where to conceal itself, easily becomes the prey of the first who seeks to incarcerate it again.... There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, the third is useless."

LA Times: National ID - Beware What You Wish ForJAN 9, 2002 - The American Assn. of Motor Vehicle Administrators has announced it will create a de facto national identification card. The association reportedly is working with the Justice Department and the General Services Administration to create a system with a massive database encompassing every citizen. Thus largely unknown bureaucrats could create a kind of human license plate to track and restrict our movements--anathema in the U.S. In the past, it was technically impossible or prohibitively expensive to monitor more than a fraction of the population at any given time. But recent advances in technology have removed these barriers. The only thing missing was a catalyst--some event that would substitute immediate security concerns for abstract notions of privacy. That took place Sept. 11. The smoke was still billowing from the World Trade Center when the first calls came for a national ID card, leading to a November hearing before a House subcommittee headed by Rep. Stephen Horn (R-Long Beach). A card would provide identification using "biometric" components such as retinal scans, or a "smart" card connected to a database where an individual's history and movement could be monitored. The rush to create a national identification card is based in part on the false assumption that such a card could have prevented the events of Sept. 11.

Utah, North Carolina, and Tennessee are among a handful of states where lawmakers are proposing allowing 9 million illegal immigrants to obtain licenses. Supporters of the proposals argue that licensing illegals will force them to learn the rules of the road and sign up for auto insurance. Opponents call it a misguided attempt to correct a legal wrong with a civic privilege. "We're talking about rewarding people who are here illegally and should not be able to obtain a driver's license, or any other privilege of an American citizen," said U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Calif. Others say opening the door for illegals to get legal documents will make it easier for terrorists to assimilate themselves into American society. "There are loopholes in the law that allow those who are here to do harm to work their way into the system," Linda Lewis, president of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Despite the opposition, proposals are on the table in at least seven states. In Illinois, Colorado and Georgia, lawmakers argue that highway safety concerns would be eased if undocumented immigrants had licenses. In Colorado, Illinois and California, illegal immigrants would be allowed to get licenses by showing a taxpayer identification number, which they can obtain without a Social Security card. [But illegal aliens invading the USA by comitting felonies are not required to get a National ID (AKA NCIC database-linked "driver license") nor biochips as currently required for prisoners and parolees in Los Angeles and proposed for legal visitors to USA and for US citizens on vacation or stationed abroad.

If passed, it would require all males 18-22 to "receive basic military training and education as a member of the armed forces, for a period of not less than six months, but not more than one year," the bill says. "Failing to register for the draft could mean giving up the right to drive for men if a Senate bill becomes law. Linking the driving privilege to registering with the Selective Service System is needed to gain greater compliance from the 18- to 26-year-old men required by federal law to register, witnesses told the Senate Judiciary Committee."

New World Order's blueprint for world domination by loan sharking and Opium WarsTHE OBSERVER, LONDON, FEB. 1 2002 - JOE STIGLITZ: TODAY'S WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS: The World Bank's former Chief Economist's accusations are eye-popping - including how the IMF and its 51% owner, the US Treasury [AKA nonFederal Reserve Bank] fixed the Russian elections. Each nation's economy is individually analyzed, then, says Stiglitz, the Bank hands every minister the same exact four-step program. Step One is Privatization - which Stiglitz said could more accurately be called, 'Briberization.' Rather than object to the sell-offs of state industries, he said national leaders - using the World Bank's demands to silence local critics - happily flogged their electricity and water companies. "You could see their eyes widen" at the prospect of 10% commissions paid to Swiss bank accounts for simply shaving a few billion off the sale price of national assets. And the US government knew it, charges Stiglitz [ENRON bought out many public utilities, then World Bank took them over when ENRON went bankrupt in 2001]. Step Two of the IMF/World Bank one-size-fits-all rescue-your-economy plan is 'Capital Market Liberalization.' In theory, capital market deregulation allows investment capital to flow in and out. Unfortunately, as in Indonesia and Brazil, the money simply flowed out and out. Stiglitz calls this the "Hot Money" cycle. A nation's reserves can drain in days, hours. And when that happens, to seduce speculators into returning a nation's own capital funds, the IMF demands these nations raise interest rates to 30%, 50% and 80% [just like credit cards, check-cashing schemes and "student loans" (with hidden fees of thousands of dollars) do in USA]. "The result was predictable," said Stiglitz of the Hot Money tidal waves in Asia and Latin America. Higher interest rates demolished property values, savaged industrial production and drained national treasuries. At this point, the IMF drags the gasping nation to Step Three: Market-Based Pricing, a fancy term for raising prices on food, water and cooking gas. This leads, predictably, to Step-Three-and-a-Half: what Stiglitz calls, 'The IMF riot.' The IMF riots (and by riots I mean peaceful demonstrations dispersed by bullets, tanks and teargas) cause new panicked flights of capital and government bankruptcies. This economic arson has it's bright side - for foreign corporations, who can then pick off remaining assets, such as the odd mining concession or port, at fire sale prices. Now we arrive at Step Four of what the IMF and World Bank call their "poverty reduction strategy": Free Trade. This is free trade by the rules of the World Trade Organization and World Bank, Stiglitz the insider likens free trade WTO-style to the Opium Wars. "That too was about opening markets," he said. As in the 19th century, Europeans and Americans today are kicking down the barriers to sales in Asia, Latin American and Africa, while barricading our own markets against Third World agriculture [and blocking US export of manufactured products and funding export of US factories to China and Mexico]. In the Opium Wars, the West used military blockades against China to force open markets for their unbalanced trade in opium from China. Today, the World Bank can order a financial blockade just as effective - and sometimes just as deadly. Stiglitz is particularly emotional over the WTO's intellectual property rights treaty (it goes by the acronym TRIPS). It is here, says the economist, that the new global order has "condemned people to death" by imposing impossible tariffs and tributes to pay to pharmaceutical companies for branded medicines. "They don't care," said the professor of the corporations and bank loans he worked with, "if people live or die." By the way, don't be confused by the mix in this discussion of the IMF, World Bank and WTO. They are interchangeable masks of a single governance system. They have locked themselves together by what are unpleasantly called, "triggers." Taking a World Bank loan for a school 'triggers' a requirement to accept every 'conditionality' - they average 111 per nation -laid down by both the World Bank and IMF. In fact, said Stiglitz the IMF requires nations to accept trade policies more punitive than the official WTO rules. Stiglitz greatest concern is that World Bank plans, devised in secrecy and driven by an absolutist ideology, are never open for discourse or dissent. Despite the West's push for elections throughout the developing world, the so-called Poverty Reduction Programs "undermine democracy." Did any nation avoid this fate? Yes, said Stiglitz, identifying Botswana. Their trick? "They told the IMF [AKA nonFederal Reserve Bank] to go packing."

Some government agencies do not want this information generally known. Nor do the Born-Again Christian movement, cults, and many human-potential trainings. Everything I will relate only exposes the surface of the problem. I don't know how the misuse of these techniques can be stopped. I don't think it is possible to legislate against that which often cannot be detected; and if those who legislate are using these techniques, there is little hope of affecting laws to govern usage. I do know that the first step to initiate change is to generate interest. In this case, that will probably only result from an underground effort. |

MOB RULE - "Lewis D'Avanzo, a son of the [New York City] mayor's uncle and a guest at [Rudolph] Giuliani's first wedding in 1968, was a "ruthless and widely feared mob associate" who headed a massive stolen car ring, according to FBI documents and interviews. Giuliani's cousin Lewis D'Avanzo was known as 'Steve the Blond' and listed as armed and dangerous in FBI bulletins. His criminal record included a 10-year federal sentence for the armed hijacking of a truck loaded with $240,000 worth of mercury. The book alleges that he was suspected of taking part in several murders. D'Avanzo was gunned down by the FBI in October 1977, when he tried to run down an agent after being stopped on a warrant that accused him and two associates of transporting 100 stolen luxury cars. The book describes a 1962 shootout pitting a local mobster against the mayor's father and Leo D'Avanzo, Lewis D'Avanzo's father. The book says Leo D'Avanzo, who
was known in family circles as a black sheep, ran loansharking and gambling operations out
of a Brooklyn bar where Giuliani's father worked as a bartender. In his role as debt
collector, his father [Harold Giuliani] 'broke legs, smashed kneecaps, crunched
noses,' the book says. A son of the mayor's uncle and a guest at Giuliani's first wedding in 1968, was a 'ruthless and widely feared mob associate' who headed a massive stolen car ring, according to FBI documents. According to The Village Voice, Harold Giuliani spent more than a year in Ossining State Prison (Sing Sing) for the armed robbery of a milkman in 1934.

[New York City collects $350-MILLION EVERY YEAR just for parking citations, not counting 10,000s of annual vehicle seizures and forfetures for "unpaid parking citations" to benefit the Mafia's car-theft industry] JFK JR Assassinated while campaigning against Guiliani, Bush and Clinton for PresidentApril 28, 2002 - A documentary by PAX TV about the fatal crash of John F. Kennedy, Jr., broadcast in February 2002, revealed that 3 eyewitnesses reported to FAA investigators that they saw JFK's airplane explode in midair. Kennedy and his wife and sister-in-law were due to attend the wedding of his cousin Rory - the youngest of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy's 11 children. PAX reported that an attendee to the wedding was an eyewitness, plus a lawyer a news reporter, to the plane explode in midair as it finished its flight and neared the island for a normal landing. The plane exploded so close to shore that luggage washed up on the beach. The eyewitnesses disproved the "official" theory by non-witnesses that JFK had died because he did not know how to fly a plane. PAX reported that contrary to all "news" reports, Kennedy had over 700 hours of logged flight time over a 20 year period, more than enough to qualify as an airline pilot, and completed his training for flying in zero visibility and already passed his written test for flying in "instrument flight rules" (IFR rating). He was such a good pilot that he also flew "hang gliders" with gasoline engines, which require extreme skill and coordination on par with playing a professional sport, and these hours of flight are in addition to logged flight time (basically hanging from a parachute-wing with an engine strapped to his back - most pilots would be terrified to try this). PAX pointed out that CNN reported the day after the crash that in 2000, JFK turned down Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore's offer to run with him as vice president, and that JFK had instead decided to announce that weekend his candidacy for the US Senate in 2000 against the Republican mayor of New York City, the Mafia-born-and-bred Rudolf Giuliani (whose father spent years in Sing Sing prison for armed robbery and had an uncle gunned down by the FBI and another uncle running New York state's largest car-theft ring). PAX reported that either the Mafia assassinated JFK to put Giuliani into Congress, or to elect Hillary Clinton - wife of presidential bastard Bill "Clinton" [the illigitimate son of Arkansas governor Rockefeller]. Or else he was killed after JFK's magazine George, the largest monthly news magazine in the world, was reporting on political assassinations in Israel. Police Chief Sues State Police for Racketeering and Organized CrimeRALEIGH, NC, May 22, 2002 - In a lawsuit expected to be filed today, a former Division of Motor Vehicles enforcement officer will claim that the state agency engaged in a pattern of organized criminal behavior that violates federal racketeering laws. In addition, Pete Bradley will allege he was fired as Woodfin's police chief in retaliation for his efforts to expose corruption, and that his constitutional rights to freedom of speech were violated, said his lawyer, Leon Patricios of Miami, who specializes in employment-related litigation. Patricios said the defendants would include the DMV, Woodfin town officials, Buncombe County officials and others. The claim will be filed in federal district court in Raleigh. Bradley won't seek a specific damage amount, his attorney said. "That's up to the jury. It's hard to measure this man's damages. He's been absolutely destroyed." Bradley's fight earlier this year to retain his job as police chief of the small Buncombe County town of Woodfin led to a public showdown with town officials over his sexual practices and allegations of the mayor meddling in police business. The small-town scandal inadvertently shed light on allegations of institutional corruption within the DMV in Western North Carolina and elsewhere in the state. Bradley had accused Woodfin Mayor Homer Honeycutt, then a civilian employee of the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department, of bragging that he could fix tickets, encouraging racial profiling and of ordering officers not to arrest drunken drivers. Shortly after Bradley made the accusations, portions of a secret State Bureau of Investigation report detailing Bradley's sexual habits were leaked to local media. Bradleys sexual habits became a part of the investigation, according to Bradley, after someone tried to use the information as a way to prevent him from testifying in the SBI investigation. The pages were part of a 2-year-old probe into possible DMV corruption compiled by the SBI that had been turned over to three area district attorneys. Bradley said that he presented evidence of possible corruption within the DMV to the SBI. A short time after the public disclosures of his sexual activities, Woodfin's Board of Aldermen voted 5-1 Feb. 25 to fire Bradley. Buncombe County District Attorney Ron Moore later revealed that he had released that portion of the report to a local law enforcement agency, for "a law enforcement purpose," but he would not say which agency. Bradley promised to sue town and state officials that night, saying, "there's other places for this battle to continue, not here. That's what courtrooms are made for all across the country." Patricios said the lawsuit would include civil provisions of The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, which was originally intended for use as a tool against organized crime families. The law targets those engaging in a conspiracy of organized crime, which Patricios will allege fits a pattern of behavior shown by the DMV. Hidden threats - Government Internment Camps - Recent Info U.S. Concentration CampsWorldNet Daily, May 11, 1998 - For several years now I have been getting all sorts of wild reports about "Government Internment Camps." I have generally dismissed these rumblings as classic right-wing paranoia, extrapolation of facts not yet in evidence, or creative writing. However, recently, additional information has been revealed which lends credibility to the myriad concerns which haven been expressed. Hey, even paranoids get chased. The U.S. Army director of resource management has confirmed the validity of a memorandum relating to the establishment of a civilian inmate labor program under development by the Department of Army. The document states, "Enclosed for your review and comment is the draft Army regulation on civilian inmate labor utilization" and the procedure to "establish civilian prison camps on installations." Civilian internment camps or prison camps, often referred to as concentration camps, have been the subject of much rumor and speculation during the past several years in this country. Various publications, Internet threads and some radio talk programs have focused on the issue. However, I found it significant when Rep. Henry Gonzalez, D-TX, clarified the question of the existence of these civilian detention camps. In an interview Hank said, "the truth is yes -- you do have these standby provisions, and the plans are here ... whereby you could, in the name of stopping terrorism ... evoke the military and arrest Americans and put them in detention camps." Heck, we did it before (to Americans of Japanese descent), we could do it again. This is not anything new. This is not a partisan Democrat/Republican, or Conservative/Liberal issue. It may have just recently been actually acknowledged, but it has a history. Most even modestly educated folks know that Hitler did it, and Stalin did it. However, you should know that the venerable Franklin Delano Roosevelt also developed a plan for the United States. In fact, on Aug. 24, 1939, ole FDR met with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover [USA's most crooked cop, a homosexual who hired underage prostitutes and worked for the Mafia while claiming "Mafia did not exist", implicated in assassinations of JFK, MLK, RFK, who kept his job for 40 years via using FBI for blackmailing politicians, until Hoover was assassinated with poison by Nixon's White House Plumbers, according to Watergate Hearing testimony] to develop the detention plan for us. Five months later, Hitler opened the Auschwitz detention center in Poland. Hoover met with Attorney General J. Howard McGrath on Aug. 3, 1948 to detail a plan whereby President Truman could suspend constitutional liberties during a national emergency. The plan was code-named "Security Portfolio" and, when implemented, it would authorize the FBI to summarily arrest up to 20,000 persons and place them in national security detention camps. Prisoners would not have the right to a court hearing or habeas corpus appeal. "Security Portfolio" allowed the FBI to develop a watch list of those who would be detained as well as detailed information on their physical appearance, family, place of work, etc. This was long before sub-dermal bio-chip implants, retinal scans and other biometrics. Two years later, Congress approved the Internal Security Act of 1950. This pre-FEMA puppy contained a provision authorizing an emergency detention plan. It is real interesting that Hoover was not satisfied with this law because it did not suspend the Constitution and it guaranteed the right to a court hearing (habeas corpus). For two years, while the FBI continued to secretly establish the detention camps and work out detailed seizure plans for thousands of individuals, Hoover kept badgering Attorney General McGrath for the official permission to ignore the 1950 law and move on with the more aggressive 1948 program. As evidence that we have waaaay too many laws, codes, rules and regulations, it wasn't until the Senate held hearings in December of 1975 (25 years later) that it was revealed the ongoing internment plan had never been terminated. The report, entitled, "Intelligence Activities, Senate Resolution 21," exposed the covert agenda. In a series of documents, memos and testimony by assorted government informants, the reality emerged of the designs by the federal government (our government) to monitor, infiltrate, arrest and incarcerate a potentially large segment of American society. That Senate report also exposed the existence of the Master Search Warrant (MSW) and the Master Arrest Warrant (MAW) which, by the way, are currently STILL in force today. The MSW also instructs the FBI director to "search certain premises where (1) it is believed that there may be found contraband, prohibited articles, or (2) other materials in violation of the Proclamation of the President of the United States. It includes (3) such items as firearms, shortwave radio receiving sets, cameras, propaganda materials, printing presses, mimeography machines, membership and financial records of organizations or groups (4) that have been declared subversive, or may hereafter be declared subversive by the Attorney General." No probable cause needed. Just Because. Because they can by brute force. Huh? Proclafreakingmation?!?!? The EXACT reason we have the Second Amendment is to preclude this kind of neutering. The framers WANTED us armed to prevent abuse of power under the color of authority. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan issued National Security Directive 58 which empowered Robert McFarlane and Oliver North to use the National Security Council to secretly retrofit the Federal Emergency Management Agency to manage the country during a national crisis. In 1984 "REX exercises" simulated civil unrest culminating in a national emergency with a contingency plan for the imprisonment of 400,000 people. REX '84 was so secretive that special metal security doors were installed on the FEMA building's fifth floor, and even long-term officials of the Civil Defense Office were prohibited entry. [This was during George Bush, CIA and Pentagon narcotics trafficking during Iran-Contra trials and convictions of 2 dozen White House staff.] Under REX, the president could declare a state of emergency, empowering the head of FEMA to take control of the internal infrastructure of the United States and suspend the Constitution. The president could invoke executive orders 11000 through 11004 which would: (1) Draft all citizens into work forces under government supervision; (2) Empower the postmaster to register all men, women and children; (3) Seize all airports and aircraft; (4) Seize all housing and establish forced relocation of citizens. FEMA, with a black budget allegedly provided by the Department of Defense, has worked closely with the Pentagon in an effort to avoid the legal restrictions of Posse Comitatus. While FEMA may not have been directly responsible for these precedent-setting cases, the principle of federal control was seen during the Los Angeles riots in 1992 [over a bogus speeding ticket behind a cop at a stop sign for Rodney King - driving a Hyundai Excell, the world's slowest automobile - that murdered 60 people] with the federalization of the National Guard and during the siege at Waco, where Army tanks were involved in the final conflagration [a Pentagon mind-control experiment instituted by undercover agents provocateurs, over a $250 civil contract dispute that murdered over 90 people]. The deputy attorney general of California commented at a conference that anyone who attacks the state, even verbally, becomes a revolutionary and an enemy by definition. Louis Guiffreda, who was head of FEMA, stated that "legitimate violence is integral to our form of government, for it is from this source that we can continue to purge our weaknesses." It is significant to note that the dictionary definition of terrorism -- "the calculated use of violence" -- corresponds precisely to the government's stated policy of "the use of legitimate violence." The stories of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence are the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had good lives, which included security, but they valued liberty more. History books don't tell us much of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't just fight the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government! No wonder our founding fathers had a hatred for standing armies, and allowed, through the second amendment, for everyone to be armed. Chicago Police Officers Warned to Give Up Private Guns or Face SWAT Raids with Deadly ForceU.S. Newswire, 29 Apr 2002 - Chicago Police Officers Warned About Possible Gun Sweeps. The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA): The ISRA is warning employees of the Chicago Police Department (CPD) that the department's Chicago Anti-Gun Enforcement (CAGE) unit may soon swoop down on their homes. The warning comes after the release of CPD Notice 02-18, which directs CPD employees to dispose of many of their personally owned firearms by May 1, 2002 or face the consequences. Firearms subject to the disposal order include a previously published list of so-called "assault weapons" as well as many of the rifles typically used to hunt deer and other game in the state. Issuance of CPD Notice 02-18 comes in the midst of a stepped-up effort by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley [son of a murderous Mafia chieftan for organized crimes - criminals prefer victims without guns] to impose his personal gun control plan on a statewide basis. Earlier this year, Daley blasted the Illinois General Assembly for twice rejecting his extremist gun control package - pledging to sidestep the legislature by using his local political muscle to institute the package in one village at a time. Daley's first attempt at doing so failed miserably on April 15th when the Des Plaines (IL) City Council rejected a gun control ordinance introduced by Daley ally Alderman Don Smith by a 7-1 margin. The approaching May 1 gun disposal deadline is especially ominous in light of questionable tactics being employed by the CAGE unit. The unit was formed specifically to support Mayor Daley's efforts to run suburban gun shops out of business and to create an illegal registration database of law-abiding Illinois gun owners. After several months of keeping tabs on the CAGE unit, the ISRA has come into information on tactics that should send a shiver down the spine of any freedom-loving American. Among such tactics are attempts to entrap gun shop clerks into making illegal gun sales; inspecting and copying gun shop sales records for households where more than one person holds an Illinois FOID card and; visiting the homes of law-abiding gun owners and demanding to inventory their firearm collections without benefit of a court order. In light of the disposal order, Chicago police officers should be especially concerned about the CAGE unit's tactics. The ISRA is aware of the case of a Cook County Sheriff's officer who was questioned by the CAGE unit about a used gun he legally transferred to a gun shop more than ten years ago. Although the officer made every attempt to comply with the CAGE unit's inquiry, the investigations team threatened the officer with the loss of his job and pension. Despite having complied fully with the CAGE team, he found himself on suspension. The ISRA suspects strongly that the CAGE unit has been gathering information on the gun buying habits of fellow CPD officers and that, after May 1, officers who may have owned any of the firearms on the disposal list should expect to undergo questioning by the CAGE unit. "My advice to any CPD officer who has ever owned a gun on the disposal list is to get a lawyer - a good one," commented ISRA president Richard Pearson. "You may show up for roll call later this week just to find yourself on indefinite suspension. Or, you may get a frantic phone call from your wife or kids telling you that there are a half dozen big burly guys wanting to come in and look at your gun collection. In any case, Mayor Daley plans to make you pay for not sharing his views on gun control. I wish you luck, you're going to need it." History of Concentration Camps in USA: KOREMATSU v. UNITED STATES, 323 U.S. 214 (1944)U.S. Supreme Court: "The petitioner, an American citizen of Japanese descent, was convicted in a federal district court for remaining in San Leandro, California, a 'Military Area', contrary to Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34 of the Commanding General [323 U.S. 214, 216] of the Western Command, U.S. Army, which directed that after May 9, 1942, all persons of Japanese ancestry should be excluded from that area. No question was raised as to petitioner's loyalty to the United States. In the instant case prosecution of the petitioner was begun by information charging violation of an Act of Congress, of March 21, 1942, 56 Stat. 173, 18 U.S.C.A. 97a, which provides that '... whoever shall enter, remain in, leave, or commit any act in any military area or military zone prescribed, under the authority of an Executive order of the President, by the Secretary of War, or by any military commander designated by the Secretary of War, contrary to the restrictions applicable to any such area or zone or contrary to the order of the Secretary of War or any such military commander, shall, if it appears that he knew or should have known of the existence and extent of the restrictions or order and that his act was in violation thereof, be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be liable to a fine of not to exceed $5,000 or to imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, for each offense.' Exclusion Order No. 34, which the petitioner knowingly and admittedly violated was one of a number of military orders and proclamations, all of which were sub- [323 U.S. 214, 217] stantially based upon Executive Order No. 9066, 7 Fed.Reg. 1407. That order, issued after we were at war with Japan, declared that 'the successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities. ...' One of the series of orders and proclamations, a curfew order, which like the exclusion order here was promulgated pursuant to Executive Order 9066, subjected all persons of Japanese ancestry in prescribed West Coast military areas to remain in their residences from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. The 1942 Act was attacked in the Hirabayashi case as an unconstitutional delegation of power; it was contended that the curfew order and other orders on which it rested were beyond the war powers of the Congress, the military authorities and of the President, as Commander in Chief of the Army; and finally that to apply the curfew order against none but citizens of Japanese ancestry amounted to a constitutionally prohibited discrimination. Compulsory [323 U.S. 214, 220] exclusion of large groups of citizens from their homes, except under circumstances of direst emergency and peril, is inconsistent with our basic governmental institutions. But when under conditions of modern warfare our shores are threatened by hostile forces, the power to protect must be commensurate with the threatened danger. on May 9, the effective date of the exclusion order, the military authorities had [323 U.S. 214, 221] already determined that the evacuation should be effected by assembling together and placing under guard all those of Japanese ancestry, at central points, designated as 'assembly centers', in order 'to insure the orderly evacuation and resettlement of Japanese voluntarily migrating from military area No. 1 to restrict and regulate such migration.' Public Proclamation No. 4, 7 Fed.Reg. 2601. And on May 19, 1942, elevan days before the time petitioner was charged with unlawfully remaining in the area, Civilian Restrictive Order No. 1, 8 Fed.Reg. 982, provided for detention of those of Japanese ancestry in assembly or relocation centers. Much is said of the danger to liberty from the Army program for deporting and detaining these citizens of Japanese extraction. But a judicial construction of the due process clause that will sustain this order is a farm more [323 U.S. 214, 246] subtle blow to liberty than the promulgation of the order itself. A military order, however unconstitutional, is not apt to last longer than the military emergency. Even during that period a succeeding commander may revoke it all. But once a judicial opinion rationalizes such an order to show that it conforms to the Constitution, or rather rationalizes the Constitution to show that the Constitution sanctions such an order, the Court for all time has validated the principle of racial discrimination in criminal procedure and of transplanting American citizens. The principle then lies about like a loaded weapon ready for the hand of any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim of an urgent need. Every repetition imbeds that principle more deeply in our law and thinking and expands it to new purposes. All who observe the work of courts are familiar with what Judge Cardozo described as 'the tendency of a principle to expand itself to the limit of its logic.' 1 A military commander may overstep the bounds of constitutionality, and it is an incident. But if we review and approve, that passing incident becomes the doctrine of the Constitution. There it has a generative power of its own, and all that it creates will be in its own image. Nothing better illustrates this danger than does the Court's opinion in this case. I should hold that a civil court cannot be made to enforce an order which violates constitutional limitations even if it is a reasonable exercise of military authority. The courts can exercise only the judicial power, can apply only law, and must abide by the Constitution, or they cease to be civil courts and become instruments of military policy. [323 U.S. 214, 248] Of course the existence of a military power resting on force, so vagrant, so centralized, so necessarily heedless of the individual, is an inherent threat to liberty. A military commander may overstep the bounds of constitutionality, and it is an incident. But if we review and approve, that passing incident becomes the doctrine of the Constitution. There it has a generative power of its own, and all that it creates will be in its own image. Nothing better illustrates this danger than does the Court's opinion in this case. This dangerous doctrine of protective custody, as proved by recent European history, should have absolutely no standing as an excuse for the deprivation of the rights of minority groups. See House Report No. 1911 (77th Cong., 2d Sess.) 1-2. Cf. House Report No. 2124 (77th Cong., 2d Sess.) 145-7. In this instance, moreover, there are only two minor instances of violence on record involving persons of Japanese ancestry. During a period of six months, the 112 alien tribunals or hearing boards set up by the British Government shortly after the outbreak of the present war summoned and examined approximately 74,000 German and Austrian aliens. These tribunals determined whether each individual enemy alien was a real enemy of the Allies or only a 'friendly enemy.' About 64,000 were freed from internment and from any special restrictions, and only 2,000 were interned." |

"My job was to root out and investigate police corruption, and criminals who've infiltrated the police department.... Sure I went after other policemen. After other policemen that were criminals who happened to join the police department. There were drug dealers, murderers, rapists. These are the types of policemen that I went after.

[Zero "Bleeps" of Censorship] Detroit's top cop: Criminals are on the force05/28/02 - Police Chief Jerry A. Oliver Sr. said his department has criminals in its officer ranks, and he is gearing up to fire them as soon as he can. "I'm going tell you right now we are going to run off a lot of people, because we've got some criminals that work for us here," Oliver told The Detroit News in an interview about changes he plans for the department. A breakdown in accountability in the 4,300-officer department, serious lapses in the disciplinary process and union resistance have allowed the cases of hundreds of officers accused of misconduct to languish for years, Oliver said. "Part of the department's problem is no one is held accountable," Oliver said. "Everybody is able to get out from under any charges. We have another 200 or 300 cases in the hopper from Internal Affairs -- we're that far behind -- and many of those cases are serious cases where police officers have committed crimes, and yet they are still here." Oliver said he will fire officers who violate their oaths by committing felony and misdemeanor crimes. The department -- long criticized for failing to aggressively investigate officers accused of wrongdoing -- only automatically fires officers who are convicted of felonies. The department's treatment of civilians is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice -- an investigation sparked by a string of highly publicized fatal shootings by Detroit police officers in the late 1990s. Oliver said he will use that code of ethics to fire officers who commit misdemeanor or felony crimes on the grounds that they violated the oaths they took when they joined the department. Oliver pointed to the case of an officer he fired last Monday -- four years after he was brought up on department charges of having sex with a female prisoner in the ninth-floor cell block of the Police Department's headquarters. "Since 1998, this guy has remained on the payroll. He's been coming to work every day. And we've got two or three hundred others just like him that are roaming around out there that have done egregious things, but they are still with us," Oliver said. Goldpaugh said that through arbitration decisions, collective bargaining and agreements between the city and the unions dating back to the 1970s, the department's policy is that officers formally charged with felonies are immediately suspended without pay pending the outcome in court. If they are convicted of the charges, they are fired. Officers charged with misdemeanors, however, face suspension only after departmental hearings or after a conviction in court. They then could be brought up on department charges and could be fired after those proceedings. Oliver said he will urge Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan to prosecute officers who, in the past, might have escaped prosecution because prosecutors gave them breaks out of professional courtesy. Feds: Criminals Given Jobs at AirportAssociated Press, May 8, 2002 - A woman who hired screeners at the Philadelphia airport was charged with altering job applications and allowing people with murder and weapons convictions to get jobs. Rochelle Miles, an employee of Huntleigh USA Corp., was charged Tuesday with making false statements to the Federal Aviation Administration about at least 20 airport screeners hired between August 1997 and January 1999. St. Louis-based Huntleigh, which provides airport security and screening services to about 50 airports nationwide, stopped providing security at Philadelphia International Airport in September 2000. Miles falsely told the FAA that each screener's five-year employment history was verified in accordance with FAA regulations, authorities said. She also falsely told the agency that each employee passed a test required of all airport screeners, prosecutors said. Miles also is charged with failing to request a criminal history report for employees with known gaps in their employment history. As a result, prosecutors allege, Miles hired several employees with criminal convictions. On Monday, a man carried two loaded semiautomatic handguns through a Huntleigh-run security checkpoint at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, authorities said. The Philadelphia airport has a history of security problems. Argenbright Security Inc. hired more than a dozen guards with criminal convictions to run security checkpoints in Philadelphia. Argenbright has since left the airport security business. Global Positioning System (GPS) wins driver $450 in speeding ticketsJuly 2, 2001 - A Connecticut group has sided on behalf of consumers in a case where a driver was fined for speeding in a car outfitted with a global positioning system. The state's Department of Consumer Protection sided with renters against car rental company Acme Rent-a-Car, of New Haven. In an administrative complaint filed against the car rental company on Monday, the department charged Acme with violating state law when it fined drivers who exceeded the posted speed limit while driving a rental car. Acme installs global positioning system (GPS) in its cars to find stolen rental cars and charge customers for "dangerous" conduct. When a rental customer drives faster than the posted speed limit, that information is sent to the company. "We alleged they have violated Connecticut law," the department's commissioner, James T. Fleming, said. "There is no legal ability for them to charge a penalty when there has been no damage." The complaint comes in answer to a small-claims lawsuit filed last year. On its contracts, Acme states that "vehicles driven in excess of posted speed limit will be charged a $150 fee per occurrence. All our vehicles are GPS equipped." Turner, and many other customers, didn't connect the two statements, and paid for it later. Turner apparently drove faster than 77 mph at least three times, not knowing that the car's GPS receiver was giving him away. Without providing him any warning apart from the contract, the rental company went ahead and charged Turner $150 for each incident. [GPS is also a great technology for professional car thieves to locate specific vehicles for their customers, especially when it operates 24-hours a day.] When is ESCORT coming out with this?CHATTANOOGA, TENN. - The Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority will install a system on some of its buses that will allow traffic lights to remain green for a longer period, the first such installation in the state. The new system, expected to be in operation late this fall, will be paid for by a $250,000 state grant. Because the traffic light system is a research project, no local funds will be needed [only requiring a new state income tax or sales-tax increase, closure of state parks and termination of math class to 1/3 of state college students]; however, if Chattanooga wants to expand the program, local funds would be required. Twenty-seven buses will be equipped with transmitters, and 10 traffic signals will be outfitted with sensors in the time- and money-saving project. TN Municipal League magazine. US Supreme Court allows violent arrests for routine non-moving traffic violationsTexas police "arrested" a woman for not wearing a seatbelt - handcuffs, jail, the works. Police power and fine-only offenses. CASE: Atwater v. Lago Vista. U.S. Supreme Court Case #: 99-1408. Argument date: Dec. 4, 2000. Decision date: Tuesday, April 24, 2001. ISSUE: Can the police arrest people and put them in jail for violating laws that are punishable only by a fine but not by a jail sentence? Atwater contends that founding-era common-law rules forbade officers to make warrantless misdemeanor arrests except in cases of breach of the peace, a category she claims was then understood narrowly as covering only those nonfelony offenses involving or tending toward violence. DECISION: The high court, in a 5-4 decision, said the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, which bans unreasonable arrests and searches, does not limit police discretion to make arrests for routine traffic violations. Justice David Souter said, "The question is whether the Fourth Amendment forbids a warrantless arrest for a minor criminal offense, such as a misdemeanor seat-belt violation punishable only by a fine. We hold that it does not." BACKGROUND: When a policeman stopped Gail Atwater in the Texas city of Lago Vista, near Austin, in 1997, she knew she was in trouble. She had briefly allowed her two young children, ages 3 and 5, to ride without their seat belts on. And in Texas, that can bring a fine. But she was shocked when the policeman hauled her away in handcuffs. "He just got very close and very loud, yelling, 'You're going to jail,'" she recalled. Instead of writing her a traffic ticket ["in lieu of arrest"], the officer arrested Atwater, put her in his squad car, and took her to the police station. Her picture was taken, her possessions were taken away, and she was put in a jail cell for about an hour before she was brought before a magistrate. After posting a $310 bond, she was released. She later pleaded no contest to the offense and paid the maximum penalty — a $50 fine [plus court costs and loss of bond]. Atwater then sued the city and the police, claiming that her Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizures was violated. The trial judge threw the case out, ruling that her rights were not violated. And by a ruling of 11-6, a federal appeals court agreed, holding that an officer may arrest anyone when probable cause exists to believe that a suspect is committing a criminal offense. [Note this only applies to "criminal" traffic violations not "civil" traffic "casues of action for debt"]. UPDATE: Jan 30, 2002 - The House Criminal Justice Committee heard a bill that would prohibit police from arresting anyone just for driving without wearing a seat belt. The bill would counter a split U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld such an arrest in Texas. "I do not want to handicap our law enforcement officials," Congressman Balkman (OK) said. But he said a law that allows officers to arrest people for minor traffic offenses goes beyond what statutes generally allow. Traffic Sheriff of Nottingham guns for British bobbiesBBC News, 23 October, 2000 - Armed police on the beat have been introduced to the British mainland for the first time. The decision by Nottinghamshire police to arm officers patrolling two inner-city housing estates breaks one of the longest standing traditions of unarmed bobbies on the beat. [photo - An officer with a gun stops a car in Nottingham] Britain is one of the few countries in Europe where police officers do not carry guns as a matter of course. Nottinghamshire police said the decision was taken to reassure the local community [who recently were disarmed of ALL right to self defense via firearms sending the violent crime rate skyrocketing as British government's drug dealers have a holiday, protected from arrest by their salaries as "informants"]. The scheme, known as Operation Real Estate, was set up in response to a gun crime problem in inner city areas. The officers patrol the St Ann's and Meadows areas of the city where there have been at least 14 drug-related shootings in the past year. The effects of the landmark decision are being closely watched by at least six other forces. The decision has been seized upon by Shadow Home Secretary Anne Widdicombe who said it was a "sad indictment" of the Labour Party's crime policies. She said: "This tells the true story of Labour's failure to tackle violent crime and the real consequences of drug use in society. It is a sad indictment of this Government's utter failure that such a move should be necessary." Police usually only carry guns to deal with sieges, armed robberies, terrorist attacks or diplomatic duties. The only force in Britain which routinely carries guns on the beat are Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officers. Nottinghamshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Sean Price said the guns were necessary to send a signal: "The most visible way of sending that [message] to the public is by saying that our officers are armed." Petition to Our Elected Representatives in U.S. Congress: Oppose the SSSCA (government policeware on your PC)We, the undersigned, are American citizens strongly opposed to the proposed "Security Systems Standards and Certification Act" (SSSCA - AKA ), which would force all new consumer electronics devices and personal computers to have government-mandated "policeware" built-in. This proposed policeware would restrict what we can and cannot do with our own personal computers in our own homes and businesses. Any person who disables this policeware would be subject to five years in federal prison and a $500,000 fine. We believe this proposed bill is a severe threat to the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. The very idea of forcing government policeware into our homes and businesses, and jailing those who tamper with or refuse to run this policeware on their own private computers, is terribly wrong and completely contrary to both the letter and spirit of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We urge you, our elected representatives, to defeat the proposed SSSCA, and will take your actions regarding this bill into account when you stand for re-election.

We are the issuers of the document you've come to depend on for ID purposes. Because of this we are in a unique position to be a major force for change. The terrorist attacks on September the 11th brought to light a fact that we in the motor vehicle and law enforcement community have known for some time, that the state issued driver's license is more than a license to drive. This morning I am appealing to the United States Congress and to the Office of Homeland Security, to develop procedures for the issuance of the state-issued driver's license. By legislating and funding technology such as the Driver Record Identification Verification System (DRIVerS), state agencies and federal agencies such as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Social Security Administration, the Bureau of Vital Statistics -- and if necessary the Federal Bureau of Investigations -- can share information they already have.

Such improvements would be achieved through an open marketplace of confidential information services based on the individual's monitoring of his/her own road use. The now emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite digital communication systems operate cost effectively over large areas and are encouraging private investors to develop and market services responsive to the myriad of laws and regulations affecting a road user traveling over a large network in multiple jurisdictions. Vehicles with C-WARUM subscriptions are able to have their road use monitored for a wide variety of private and public, mandatory and voluntary, purposes. Road owners could require that C-WARUM subscriptions be mandatory, or a voluntary alternative to other monitoring schemes, for all or a selected class of vehicles operating within their jurisdiction. Each subscribing vehicle would be fitted with an electronic licenseplate/modem supporting two way digital communications, geo-location, and road side data transfers. Ultimately, road owners could employ electronic road pricing on any existing road, without the added expense of their own custom monitoring system, simply by mandating road user subscription to any one of a number of competing C-WARUM concessionaires. If done at a national level, electronic road pricing could replace fuel taxes as the foundation for national highway trust funds and bring the promise of improved highway productivity through road pricing to a nation without taxpayer investment into any "big brother" monitoring system. With this transparency, the public road resource can be managed, regulated, and metered like all other public utilities."

They are happy to be left alone to live their lives and let someone else, like the government, take care of them. Because most people do not desire power, they do not understand the intensity with which the power hungry are obsessed with getting, maintaining, and increasing their power. That is the reason that most people are still so complacent, including police and military, even in the face of all of the evidence. This is psychological warfare, and it is getting more and more sophisticated. Wake up or Waco and kiss your freedom goodbye! Shomer-Tec Law Enforcement Catalog

Red Dawn Atlanta Constitution "Ultimately, our objective is to welcome the Soviet Union back into the world order." "All of us here at the policy-making level have had experience with directives from the White House. The substance of them is that we shall use our grant-making power so as to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union." "We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a New World Order, a world where the
rule of law, not the rule of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real
chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise
and vision of the U.N.'s founders." "The over-all goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations. In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts: The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force; The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for theirdelivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order." "We should cease to talk about vague…and unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we will have to deal with straight power concepts. The less we are hampered with idealistic slogans, the better…. The final answer might be an unpleasant one, but…we should not hesitate before police repression by the local government. This is not shameful…. It is better to have a strong regime in power than a liberal government if it is indulgent and relaxed." "It is a defense to any offense that the accused was acting pursuant to orders unless the accused knew the orders to be unlawful." "There are no innocent civilians..., so it doesn't bother me so much to be killing innocent bystanders". "Open up on 'em - blow 'em away." "The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the President's foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting "intelligence" justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence, even in such critical areas as Soviet nuclear weapons capability, to support presidential policy. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target of its lies." RUSSIA JOINS NATO - PREPARES TO INVADE USA AS UNITED NATIONS "PEACEKEEPERS"The Guardian, London, May 15, 2002 - A meeting of Nato and Russian foreign ministers in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik, finalised agreement establishing a new Nato-Russia Council of 20 equal members which jointly is to discuss, decide, and act on policy over a range of issues from fighting terrorism to crisis management, and from peacekeeping to combating the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. The new council, to be formally launched in Rome in a fortnight at a Nato-Russia summit attended by President George Bush and Mr Putin, supplants the existing five-year-old consultative committee linking Russia and Nato which was widely derided as a pointless talking shop and arguably did more to estrange than to engage Moscow. "It is not a consultative body, it's an executive body," said Igor Ivanov, the Russian foreign minister. "It will develop and make decisions and jointly fulfil them." "Nato and Russia must stand side by side in defence of common values and interests," Lord Robertson, the alliance secretary-general, told a Reykjavik press conference. The move to bring Russia into Nato decision-making is a result of Moscow's support for the US campaign on terrorism since September 11.

"I don't know what it will be called but there will be a common currency," said Mr. Forbes, who campaigned for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2000. He said the changeover will be driven by businesses as well as consumers frustrated by the difficulties created by a fluctuating currency. Mr. Forbes compared problems caused by the changing value of the dollar to difficulties that might come about if another key economic component such as time were to change arbitrarily. "It's easier to do business if you have a sound currency," said Mr. Forbes, in an address to business executives in Vancouver. High taxes are sometimes put into place by politicians looking for a way to extract more revenue from a healthy economy. "Prosperity sews the seeds of its own destruction," said Mr. Forbes. Countries would be better off "to reduce trade barriers," he said. "It makes it easier to do business so more business gets done." He also warned the global economy is facing difficult times, mostly with respect to the troubles in the Middle East. "What happens over the next 12 months will be subject to war shock ... things are going to remain volatile," he said. The United States "has lost the initiative in the war on terrorism." He suggested there is at least one more major military initiative ahead. "Over the next 12 months Saddam Hussein [the Iraqi President] will get to paradise."

Nine screeners who could lose their jobs sued Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta and John Magaw, the undersecretary of transportation for security, in federal court. Lawyers called the first such suit in the nation. About 20 percent of the nation's 28,000 screeners are not citizens. The law barring noncitizens also could compromise airport security by eliminating experienced screeners, said Ben Wizner of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, an attorney for the plaintiffs. Transportation security administration spokesman Hank Price said he could not comment on ongoing litigation. "When I learned about this law, I was deeply hurt," said plaintiff Vicente Crisologo, who has worked at San Francisco International Airport for more than two years. He said legislators should remember "their forefathers were once immigrants, too." Crisologo, a permanent legal resident, came to the United States from the Philippines about three years ago to be closer to his son and two grandchildren. The former pharmaceutical company sales manager won't be eligible to apply for citizenship for another two years. The citizenship requirements will be felt keenly at San Francisco airport, where about 80 percent of its 800 screeners are not citizens, said Andrew McDonald, spokesman for the Service Employees International Union. At Los Angeles International Airport, an estimated 40 percent of the 1,000 screeners are non-citizens. The union represents 2,000 screeners in California and several other states. U.S. military recruiting legal aliens holding green cardsASSOCIATED PRESS, May 21, 2002 - Even if you are not a U.S. citizen, Uncle Sam wants you. About 47,500 military people are noncitizens, roughly 4 percent of the total, and the Pentagon is recruiting more. "We recruit everywhere. We like to look like America and recruit anyone who is qualified," said Jim Cassella, a Pentagon spokesman. Mr. Cassella said the noncitizens must have green cards certifying they are legally in the country. They may serve only a single term of enlistment — two to four years — before applying for citizenship and cannot hold a military job that requires a security clearance. The same legal residents are barred from working as civilian airport screeners in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Some noncitizen servicemen say they thought defending the United States automatically made them an American. Alberto Castillo learned the hard way that isn't the case. He left Chihuahua, Mexico, as a child and has lived in America for nearly 50 years, four of which were spent in the Army and 21 in the National Guard. Nobody told him he wasn't a citizen until he applied for a civil service job after leaving active duty. He was referred to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which told him he needed to apply for citizenship. "If the military is picking up people left and right, they should make you a citizen automatically," said Mr. Castillo, 55, of San Antonio. He is applying for citizenship now. Marine Lance Cpl. Karina Bejarano, 24, also mistakenly believed she was a citizen. "You have to swear in and swear to defend this country. I would figure you do that and boom-boom, you become a citizen," said Cpl. Bejarano, who was born in Peru and moved to the United States when she was 10. She plans to apply for citizenship next month. Maj. Ben Owens, a Pentagon spokesman, said there is no policy requiring recruiters to discuss citizenship. Bush lets Russia join NATO - authorized to shoot down US airliners in USALondon Guardian, May 15, 2002 - Russia and Nato, the great cold war adversaries, last night buried half a century of hostility by uniting in a common front that grants Moscow a full say in key areas of western alliance policy-making. The second huge breakthrough agreement in 48 hours between the Kremlin and the west - following the US-Russia deal to scrap thousands of nuclear warheads - makes Russia a partial member of the Nato military alliance. Moscow obtained an effective veto over several areas of Nato policy-making, boosting President Vladimir Putin's hopes of integrating the former superpower into western security structures, an achievement that eluded his two predecessors. A meeting of Nato and Russian foreign ministers in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik, finalised agreement establishing a new Nato-Russia Council of 20 equal members which jointly is to discuss, decide, and act on policy over a range of issues from fighting terrorism to crisis management, and from peacekeeping to combating the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. The new council, to be formally launched in Rome in a fortnight at a Nato-Russia summit attended by President George Bush and Mr Putin, supplants the existing five-year-old consultative committee linking Russia and Nato which was widely derided as a pointless talking shop and arguably did more to estrange than to engage Moscow. The move to bring Russia into Nato decision-making is a result of Moscow's support for the US campaign on terrorism since September 11. The idea was first aired by Tony Blair in November and promptly ran into fierce opposition in the Pentagon which balked at opening the door to Russia. NEW YORK POST: "BUSH HAD HIJACK WARNING"
NEW YORK POST, May 16, 2002 - Intelligence officials warned President Bush in the weeks before Sept. 11 that Osama bin Laden and his terror henchmen might have been plotting to hijack passenger airliners, the White House said last night. The warnings came in the first 10 days in August. "There's been a long-standing awareness in the intelligence community, shared with the president, about the potential for bin Laden to have hijackings in a traditional sense," said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. "The information the president got dealt with hijackings in the traditional sense," he added. But evidence has surfaced in recent weeks that intelligence and law-enforcement officials had evidence something bigger might have been in the works: A classified memo written by a Phoenix FBI agent last summer urged the bureau to investigate a number of Middle Eastern men enrolled in American flight schools, citing bin Laden as someone who could organize such flight training. Last August, shortly after the arrest of accused bin Laden terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, a Minneapolis FBI agent on the case wrote in notes that Moussaoui was the kind of person who might "fly something into the World Trade Center." A French investigating judge and terrorist hunter had presented the FBI information weeks before Sept 11 warning that Moussaoui was a dangerous Islamic extremist. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the Phoenix FBI memo "was a very important warning and it was not heeded. It was not distributed. It was not acted on." CNN LARRY KING LIVE AND FIRED POLITICALLY INCORRECT ON BUSH "TREASON"May 25, 2002 - King: "What do you make of this current squabble, about the President getting the Memo, early on?" Manufacturing ConsentDr. Noam Chomsky: "It is not the case as the naive might think that indoctrination is inconsistent with democracy, rather . . . it's the essence of democracy. The point is that in a military state or a feudal state or what we would now call a totalitarian state, it doesn't much matter because you've got a bludgeon over their heads and you can control what they do. But when the state loses the bludgeon, when you can't control people by force, and when the voice of the people can be heard you have this problem—it may make people so curious and so arrogant that they don't have the humility to submit to a civil rule, and therefore you have to control what people think. And the standard way to do this is to resort to what in more honest days used to be called propaganda, manufacture of consent, creation of necessary illusion. Various ways of either marginalizing the public or reducing them to apathy in some fashion." (PBS video series and book) PoliceStateDaily.com
Mission Statement: It's about abuses of people and the citizens of America. This is a site that I want the people to come to and be a reporter all around the world. How governments, Federal, State, and local use their power to confiscate liberty, freedom, and property. People who lived in police states used to fear the 'knock on the door.' In the American police state today, the cops sometimes don't bother to knock ' they just shoot the locks off the door. Such was the case in Compton, Calif., last month. At 11 p.m. Aug. 9, a Special Weapons and Tactics Team, supposedly serving a search warrant in a broad-ranging narcotics investigation, performed a 'high-risk entry' on a private home. There was no knock. The cops blew off the locks on the front and back doors simultaneously. When they went in, their guns were still blazing. A retired grandfather was shot twice in the back and killed. His widow was hustled out of the house in nothing but panties, a towel and plastic handcuffs. She and six other 'suspects' were taken into custody and interrogated. But no charges were filed. Think of how our civil liberties are being eroded: Possession of firearms, a constitutionally guaranteed right, is enough to make you a suspect and, perhaps, justify your untimely death at the hands of the police state; possession of cash, once considered a basic necessity, is treated with suspicion and your loot is subject to confiscation; and God forbid you should be a dissenter, a critic, someone who makes waves. The fact of the matter is no one is safe from the lawless American police state today. Tell us your stories. Constitutional Issues for Lawmen - Aid and Abet Police Newsletter

It is to maintain internal checkpoints. It has nothing to do with the external "War on Terrorism." All of these people are being trained at the US Army School of Urban Control at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. CNN actually showed an urban training mock-up, what they're training on, and what the new Internal Security checkpoint is going to look like. It was mighty sinister looking. On this structure was a sign, which read, "All citizens not having proper identification will be detained. All foreign nationals will be detained. All citizens who are deemed to be acting in a suspicious manner will be detained." At each of these posts there will be six armed Army or National Guard reservists with M-16's with full field kit.

FAIR ACTION ALERT: WHY WERE GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA EXPERTS WORKING ON NEWS AT CNN?Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, March 27, 2000 - Reports in the Dutch newspaper Trouw (2/21/00, 2/25/00) and France's Intelligence Newsletter (2/17/00) have revealed that several officers from the US Army's 4th Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) Group at Ft. Bragg worked in the news division at CNN's Atlanta headquarters last year, starting in the final days of the Kosovo War. In the U.S. media, so far only Alexander Cockburn, columnist for The Nation and co-editor of the newsletter CounterPunch, has picked up on the story. The story is disturbing. In the 1980s, officers from the 4th Army PSYOPS group staffed the National Security Council's Office of Public Diplomacy (OPD), a shadowy government propaganda agency that planted stories in the U.S. media supporting the Reagan Administration's Central America policies. A senior US official described OPD as a "vast psychological warfare operation of the kind the military conducts to influence a population in enemy territory." (Miami Herald, 7/19/87) An investigation by the congressional General Accounting Office found that OPD had engaged in "prohibited, covert propaganda activities," and the office was soon shut down as a result of the Iran-Contra investigations. But the 4th PSYOPS group still operates. CNN has always maintained a close relationship with the Pentagon. Getting access to top military officials is a necessity for a network that stakes its reputation on being first on the ground during wars and other military operations. What makes the CNN story especially troubling is the fact that the network allowed the Army's covert propagandists to work in its headquarters, where they learned the ins and outs of CNN's operations. Even if the PSYOPS officers working in the newsroom did not influence news reporting, did the network allow the military to conduct an intelligence-gathering mission against CNN itself? For instance, one PSYOPS officer worked in CNN's satellite division. According to Intelligence Newsletter, rear admiral Thomas Steffens, a psychological warfare expert in the Special Operations Command, recently told a PSYOPS conference that the military needed to find ways to "gain control" over commercial news satellites to help bring down an "informational cone of silence" over regions where special operations were taking place. An unofficial strategy paper published by the U.S. Naval War College in 1996 and written by an Army officer ("Military Operations in the CNN World: Using the Media as a Force Multiplier") urged military commanders to find ways to "leverage the vast resources of the fourth estate" for the purposes of "communicating the [mission's] objective and endstate, boosting friendly morale, executing more effective psychological operations, playing a major role in deception of the enemy, and enhancing intelligence collection." ACTION: Please write to CNN and ask why the network allowed government propaganda specialists to work in their news division. As always, please remember that letters are taken more seriously if they maintain a professional tone. Please cc-copies of your correspondence to fair@fair.org.

SEC. 224: THE SECRET WARANTLESS SEARCHES AND OTHER POLICE STATE MEASURES IN THE BILL ARE NOT SUNSETTED." Pentagon Plans New Command and Martial Law for USAWASHINGTON POST, 27 JAN 2002 - The Pentagon has decided to ask the White House for approval to set up a new four-star command to coordinate federal troops used to defend North America, part of an intensified effort to bolster homeland security, defense officials said. The move was prompted by the new domestic security demands placed on the military after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the Bush administration's declared war on terrorism. Although the Pentagon has regional commanders in chief, known as CINCs, who are responsible for Europe, the Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and South Asia, none exists for U.S. forces in the United States and Canada. The proposed change would give a single four-star officer authority over such domestic deployments as Air Force jets patrolling above U.S. cities, Navy ships running coastal checks and Army National Guard troops policing airports and border crossings. Before September, military leaders had resisted the idea of a homeland CINC (pronounced "sink"), reflecting a traditional aversion to -- and legal limits on -- the use of federal armed forces for domestic law enforcement. Opposition also existed outside the Pentagon on both the political left and right, with civil libertarians and right-wing militia groups alike warning against military forces encroaching on areas traditionally considered the responsibility of civilian emergency response, law enforcement and health agencies. But in recent months, as military air, sea and land patrols pressed into action by the Pentagon have answered to several four-star commanders, the Defense Department's top military officers have come to accept the need for streamlining the chain of command. Earlier opposition from such groups as the American Civil Liberties Union has also waned, although concerns persist about possible "mission creep" and the risk that any military forces deployed around the country could end up threatening individual rights. Responsibility for coordinating federal activities in homeland defense rests with Tom Ridge, who heads the White House's Office of Homeland Security, which was set up after the Sept. 11 attacks. While the new Pentagon command would doubtless have links to Ridge's office, it would formally fall in a separate chain of authority running from the president through the secretary of defense to those federal troops enlisted in the homeland effort. Army Secretary Thomas E. White said in an interview last week. "The Army is fully deployed in 100 different countries. Defense officials are also evaluating whether to scale back the combat air patrols over Washington, New York and more than two dozen other cities. Legal barriers to sending the armed forces into U.S. streets have existed for more than a century under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. That law was prompted by President Ulysses S. Grant's use of federal troops to monitor the elections in the former Confederate states. The act prohibits military personnel from searching, seizing or arresting people in the United States. Some exceptions exist, allowing military forces to suppress insurrections or domestic unrest or to assist in crimes involving nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

"Digital Angel's biosensor technology is linked by wireless telecommunications to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and pinpoints location anywhere in the world, with sensors for monitoring body temperature, blood oxygen, glucose, EKG, EEG and sound.

Police, EMS personnel and armed forces can rush to 'assist'. Geographic location can be viewed by you and anyone else you authorize by simply logging-on to the secure Digital Angel Delivery System (DADS) website or by calling the Digital Angel Call Center at $29.95 per month." It all started with something called the FERET program, a Department of Defense initiative in the early 1990s to determine the viability of using algorithms to measure faces. A handful of universities got taxdollars to turn the futurist concept into reality for corporate profit. When football fans learned that their faces were scanned and compared to mugshots of "common" criminals at this year's Super Bowl, many were outraged. In the United States, face scans are used by casinos to look for cheats; law enforcement to digitalize mug shots; welfare departments to look for double-dippers; drivers' license bureaus to reduce I.D. forgers; and ATMs to separate clients from crooks. Overseas, Israel's Ministry of Defense uses facial scanning to monitor movement along the Gaza Strip. A scruffy district in London uses them to remotely patrol the streets. Mexico—where a former president was prosecuted for narcotics trafficing—and Uganda—where President Idi Amin cannibalized 100,000s of his citizens—use them to register voters. Biochips also are used to block use of handguns by banning the use of 100% of all existing handguns, requiring purchase of expensive new handguns that only work for the individual with a linked ID biochip, which also requires each member of a household to purchase their own weapon, even to learn how to shoot a weapon.

"Heads up, future cyborgs! Implantable chips are back in the news, with the current focus on a tiny chip that can be injected into your body, then used to identify and monitor you. Media reports are calling it 'the stuff of science fiction,' and Reuters likened it to something from the 1999 blockbuster film, The Matrix. Referring to the chip, David Coursey of ZDNet contends that 'even paranoia has a point,' and John Soat of Information Week predicts that now "the call for a national ID system takes on a whole new meaning.' Critics of the chip express concerns over the specter of persons being injected with the chips against their will, perhaps surreptitiously in conjunction with a routine vaccination. Lucas Mast of the CATO Institute warns that 'if the technology of Digital Angel falls into the wrong hands, be that of terrorists or our own government, we may all be concerned and it may be too late to turn back.

Implanting "things" in people raises ethical and public relations issues. We already are evolving toward technology implanting. For example, the military currently requires its members to receive mandatory injections of biological organisms (i.e., the flu shot). In the civilian world, people receive mechanical hearts and other organs. Society has come to accept most of these implants as a fact of life. By 2025 it is possible medical technology will have nerve chips that allow amputees to control artificial limbs or eye chips that allow the blind to see. The civilian populace will likely accept an implanted microscopic chips that allow military members to defend vital national interests. Further, the US military will continue to be a volunteer force that will freely accept the chip because it is a tool to control technology and not as a tool to control the human.

US Congressional bill allows Star Wars weapons vs USAHR 2977: WARNING: [Like most legislation, this one seems to authorize the opposite of what its name alleges, otherwise known as propaganda or "bait and switch" ("double-speak"). This one also seems to authorize mind-control technologies and chemtrails against Americans. It seems to say: "Let's ban STAR WARS'S Fraud, Waste & Abuse of taxpayer funds," while sneaking the real agenda through a giant loophole.] 11-Jan-2002 - A bill was introduced in the House Representatives on October 2, 2001 by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) that would ban chemtrails and mind control weapons in space [BUT NOT BANNED ON EARTH NOR IN AIR]. Among the weapons that would be banned by the new measure are "psychotronic" devices that are "directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of mood management, or mind control." This suggests the U.S. military must already have developed classified mood and mind control weapons that can be used in space or that this type of weapon is at least in the planning stage. The bill would also prohibit "expelling chemical or biological agents" and mentions the word "chemtrails." The way to tell the difference between a chemtrail and a normal contrail is that contrails can only form at temperatures below negative-76 degrees Fahrenheit and at humidity levels of 70 percent or more at high altitudes, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And even in most ideal conditions, a jet contrail lasts no more than 30 minutes. One "Columbus Alive" reporter used high-quality binoculars to look at the planes producing chemtrails and saw that KC-135 Stratotankers and KC-10 Extenders, which are refueling planes, appeared to be used for the spraying. The Canadian "Ottawa Citizen" newspaper reported, "Ground fallout [from the chemtrails] analyzed in the United States contained carcinogens and bacteria. Also found were toxic micro-fibers, much finer than asbestos." A scientist working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base told "Columbus Alive" of cloud creation experiments with aluminum oxide to lessen the effect of global warming. The other involved radioactive barium clouds to reflect radar beams off clouds to see over the horizon in conjunction with the military's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP).

WARNING UPDATE - CHEMTRAILS PUMP OUT VIRTUAL BRAINCHIPS: Nuclear scientists warn that when USA hired all the NAZI mad-scientists after World War 2 (to allegedly fight a "Cold War" against Communism), we not only got the rocket scientists and spies, but also got all NAZI technology for genocide of a nation's own citizens. "Mycoplasmas" are nanogerms specifically isolated by the NAZIs for biowarfare, taken from moldy foods. They work havok by making all the cells in the body and brain to go haywire by turning off the cellular pumps the move CALCIUM into and out of every cell. Every muscle cell uses CALCIUM to contract a muscle, then pumps CALCIUM out of the cell to relax the muscle. Brain cells require CALCIUM for "Calmness" and "Clear-thinking". Mycoplasmas suck the CALCIUM out of all the cells which shuts down the energy and mental ability of the intended victims, a method utilized by drugs like Prozac, and is currently found in the epidemic of disabling Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS - formerly called rheumatism and is the most common disease treated by rheumatologists). These mycoplasmas are distributed by any type of weapons system to target an entire population. Mycoplasmas also are currently found in many vaccines, including the so-called anthrax vaccine (that only targets 1 strain of anthrax out of 80 strains) that is one of the causes of Gulf War Syndrome that has killed 10,000 US veterans and disabled 400,000 Americans (it is contagious). Mycoplasmas have also been found in chemtrials sprayed by US Air Force on US citizens all across the USA today. Mycoplasmas are primarily used for MIND-CONTROL during "battle" situations, although they do kill and disable after an extended period of time if the disease is not treated correctly. The liquid that is delivered with the Mycoplasmas contain metals such as aluminum. The purpose of these metals is to turn the Mycoplasmas into "BRAINCHIPS" and "BODYCHIPS", by acting as an ANTENNA when hammered with radio waves of a low frequency. These radio waves are broadcast by microwave towers (AKA "cell phone towers - hence the marketing push to sell expensive cell phones and get people to accept dangerous radian from towers in their neighborhood). A satellite signals particular "cellphone" towers to broadcast on a particular frequency, depending upon the desired mental or physical reaction, such as mental confusion - only complete mental/physical incapacitation. Mental confusion is an "excellent" method of MIND CONTROL, and FMS is an excellent method to disable a population's ability to work, and thus banks profit from mass forclosures on property. FMS can progress to deadly cancers and thus wipe out a majority of a population - the "NWO" is on record as wanting an 80% reduction in world's human population. The cure for mycoplasmas, if it is applied soon enough, is a healthy diet of ALKALINE foods and beverages, rather than "junk food" that is ACIDIC (like "phosphoric acid" in sodas, alcohol beverages that metabolize into vinegar's "acetic acid", white sugar, high-protein diets of "amino acids", phosphates in toothpaste). RAW UNCOOKED FOODS like fruits, vegetables and RAW "fresh-squeezed" ORGANIC fruit juices are high in MINERALS and are thus high in alkalinity ("sweetness" depends on high mineral content). Vitamin B-Complex vitamins are critical - USA sold Saddam Hussein bioweapons that included "B-Vitamin Blockers" to creat "CHRONIC FATIGUE" symptoms on a battlefield (one symptom of Gulf War Syndrome and FMS). Another requirement is high-quality CALCIUM and magnesium (+2 ions) supplements ("chelated" with amino acids (-1 ions) since that's the only way a body can absorb minerals) taken in high doses, plus vitamins that target "free radicals" like Vitamin-C and Vitamin-E. SODIUM BICARBINATE (Arm & Hammer "Baking Soda") neutralizes the acid in the blood, when added to water or Green Tea (black tea is acidic), and is a cure for "urinary retention" symptoms (so-called "prostate swelling" or "urinary infections"). The bottom line is that USA's government is run by NMO NAZIs who want to genocide millions of US citizens and control the minds of all the rest. Georges Bush, whose grandfathers were busted 3 times for profiteering with the NAZIs DURING World War 2. These bastards want to slaughter 80% of Americans, split the United States into two nations (as NWO tried to do by using their minions to start America's Civil War by splitting from the Union - President Lincoln was murdered one week after the War ended, before he could undo his Martial Law and reinstate the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Common Law) and thus loot trillions of dollars from our empty pockets. Thus, ALL Americans NOW infected with VIRTUAL BRAIN CHIPS that our loving Pentagon and loving multi-national corporations are using to DESTROY US!!! (Webmaster had two 35-year-old friends drop dead in their homes last year, both from ACIDOSIS caused by "diabetic coma" AKA "ketoacidosis" from "diabetes".) Note that NAZIs also added FLORIDE to the water of Jewish EXTERMINATION CAMPS to keep the prisoners "calm" and under mind-control so they would walk into the GAS CHAMBERS without putting up a fight. Obviously, drivers cannot drive safely when poisoned by germ warfare and Star Wars by "our" (NWO's) mass-murdering government. Point-'n'-Shoot Sound Makes Waves - Mind Control and Audio Assault Guns for Psywarfare and Crowd ControlWIRED.COM, Feb. 21, 2002 - Those voices in your head may be real. Researchers have developed technology that can project a beam of sound so narrow that only one person can hear it. "Directed" audio sounds like it's coming from right in front of you even when transmitted from a few hundred meters away. Inventors of the new "ventriloquist" technology say it could provide an added dimension to entertainment. The military, however, is investigating using it to confuse opponents or even inflict pain. The Audio Spotlight is one of two competing audio transmission systems that emit a one-foot square column of sound that can only be heard by people in its direct path. Joseph Pompei, a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, decided to develop it while working at audio company Bose, which he joined at 16 as its youngest-ever engineer. The Audio Spotlight emits sounds in the 60-kilohertz range, which, according to Blackstock, is well above the 20-KHz limit of human hearing. American Technology's Hypersonic Sound System. The HSS system similarly converts audio into ultrasonic sound waves, and Blackstock was impressed by a demonstration. Blackstock said he heard a clear signal at about 100 meters, but then heard nothing by moving two steps out of the audio's path. "It's remarkable, a spectacular effect." American Technology recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Army to develop the technology for a decidedly non-commercial use: psychological warfare. According to American Technology CTO Jim Croft, the technology could be used to confuse opponents by making them think there was someone nearby. Small transmitters could be kept out of sight, and ghost sounds could be bounced off "rocks or any reflective surface" to fool people into believing they were not alone. American Technology is also working on a stronger version of the technology called Directed Stick Radiator, Croft said. This "acoustic assault rifle" is shaped like a gun, but instead of bullets, it dispenses high-decibel sounds that would cause discomfort or even pain. Croft said the company is developing prototypes of the debilitating weapon that could be mounted on a jeep and used for crowd control. ELF-MAGNETIC FIELD INDUCED EFFECTS ON THE BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF BRAIN CELLSInstitute de Bioelectromagnetismo, Facultad de Medicina, University of Zaragoza, Spain - The membrane bioelectric activity recorded from single neurons is dramatically modified under applied extremely low frequency-magnetic fields (ELF-MF - Extremely Low Freq. to Medium Freq.) of 50 Hz, 0-0.015 T. The isolated neurons preparation is shown to be an exceptional experimental model to directly evidence the modification of the cell physiological activity under ELF-MF exposure. All studied neurons electrophysiological behaviour is modified by applied ELF-MF. By comparing with our results testing static magnetic fields (SMF, 0-0.7 T) in the same experimental model1 we have observed that the physiological neuronal activity is either stimulated or inhibited, which means that once again neuron responses depend upon neuron membrane structure and biochemistry, and cytosolic metabolism. Some unic characteristics are to be emphasized; i) The magnetic field intensity threshold value for SMF is of about 0.07 T while for the ELF-MF is of 0.002T; ii) In explaning the elicited bioelectric activity changes under SMF exposure two mechanisms were proposed: through Ca2+-dependent and Ca2-independent metabolic processes. The Ca2+-independent bioelectric changes were defined as slow elicited responses with a slow decrease in depolarization amplitude with increasing B intensity affecting to the 30% of the tested neurons2. Under ELF-MF exposure the depolarization amplitude decrease (15-50%) is a common feature affecting to all the tested neurons; iii) A firing rhythm is generated for about 0.007T which resembles synchronous oscillations recordings from cat visual cortex and from CA1 pyramidal cell in rat hippocampus driven by the network of inhibitory neurons 3. The possibility that ELF-MF could generate neuronal networks synchrony firing is exciting and an explanatory physical model is in progress. Electromagenetic meter. US plan to strike enemy with Valium - Pentagon scientists aim for future battlefield victories with the aid of tranquillising drugs and GM bugsLondon Observer, May 26, 2002 - American military chiefs are developing plans to use Valium as a potential weapon against enemy forces and to control hostile populations, according to official documents seen by The Observer. The Pentagon has also asked scientists to evaluate proposals to use genetically modified bugs that 'eat' the enemy's fuel and ammunition supplies without harming humans. The development of these 'non-lethal' weapons angers campaigners who claim that they would breach international treaties on biological and chemical weapons. US documents reveal that two years ago the Pentagon commissioned scientists at Pennsylvania State University to look at potential military uses for a range of chemicals known as calmatives. The scientists concluded that several drugs would be effective to control crowds or in military operations such as anti-terrorist campaigns. The drugs they recommended for 'immediate consideration' included diazepam, better known as the tranquilliser Valium, and dexmedetomidine, used to sedate patients in intensive care. The scientists advised that these drugs can 'effectively act on central nervous system tissues and produces a less anxious, less aggressive, more tranquil-like behaviour'. Other official documents reveal how genetically engineered micro-organisms to destroy equipment but not harm troops are also being considered by US military scientists as 'non-lethal' weapons. One proposal from the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Virginia, proposes creating genetically modified bugs that would corrode roads and runways and produce 'targeted deterioration of metal parts, coatings and lubricants of weapons vehicles and support equipment as well as fuels'. Another proposal from a biotech laboratory at Brooks air force base in Texas was to modify 'anti-material biocatalysts' already under development. One of these breaks down fuels and plastics. A report of a meeting in the Ministry of Defence's headquarters in London in November 2000 states: 'The US and UK interpret the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) differently regarding riot control agents (RCA). The UK interpretation considers them to be chemical weapons under the CWC and thus proscribed; the US view is that they are not banned under that agreement. Some experts believe the use of genetically-modified microbes in military operations would breach the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. "Unfriendly Fire: U.S. Military Drafted Plans to Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War"
ABC News.com, May 1, 2001 - "In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: 'Such a plan would enable a logical buildup of incidents to be combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camoflage the ultimate objective and create the necessary impression of Cuban rashness and irresponsibility on a large scale, directed at other countries in addition to the United States. The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances. A series of well-coordinated incidents will be planned to take place to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces. Incidents to establish a credible attack: 1.Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio. 2.Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence" to stage attack on the base. 3.Capture Cuban (friendly) sabateurs inside the base. 4.Start riots near the entrance to the base (friendly Cubans). 5.Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires. 6.Burn aircraft on airbase (sabatage). 7.Lob morter shells from outsidethe base to inside the base. Some damage to installation. 8.Capture assault teams. 9.Capture militia group which storms the base. 10.Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene [napalm]. 11.Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington. Exploding a few bombs in carefully chosen spots. Use of MIG-type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation. Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping, and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type palnes would be useful. An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were to announce that fact. 7. Hijacking attampts against US civil air and surface craft should be encouraged. 8. It is possible to create an incident which would demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civilian airliner from the United States.' Details of the plans are described in Body of Secrets, a new book by [ABC's 20/20] investigative reporter James Bamford about the history of America's largest spy agency, the National Security Agency. The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership."

Martial Law by US Military (until disarmed and replaced by United Nations' mercs)United States Air Force Academy - The United States armed forces expect to encounter a variety of military operations in the future that are unconventional in nature. Use of Non-Lethal Weapons in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) include such things as peacekeeping, humanitarian relief, covert operations, and hostage rescue. To better arm our soldiers for these type of conflicts, the military is currently pursuing an agenda of developing non-lethal weapons that incapacitate the threat instead of killing them. The first classification of non-lethal weapons is weapons that stun. These weapons are already through the developmental stage and are in use in municipal police forces as well as being stocked in military arsenals. Stun grenades have been around for the past several decades. Often known as "flash-bangs," they operate primarily by creating a blinding flash of light followed by a loud explosion. The goal of the rubber bullet is to inflict the right amount of pain to cause the threat to decease charging, or to disperse a crowd. At close ranges, the muzzle velocity of the round is fatal. CS gas, commonly referred to as tear gas, is used by police and riot control forces and is usually not fatal. A type of non-lethal chemical weapon currently in development is a kind of sleeping gas. An area of research that may be of great value to operations done at night is the blindingly bright xenon flashlight. Coupled with a computer chip that controls the micro-second timing of the flash with goggles that become opaque to protect the operator, this weapon could prove to be very effective. Unfortunately, along with stunning the threat, the flash may cause the eyeball to explode or permanently blind the individual. Weapons that immobilize include nets, sticky foam, and super lubricants. The final type of weapons that immobilize are radio frequency weapons. A more potent RF weapon currently under development is the high powered very low frequency (VLF) modulator. Working in the 20-35 KHz spectrum, the frequency emits from a 1-2 meter antenna dish to form into a type of acoustic bullet. The highest settings can cause a person's bones to resonate, which is very painful, as it can ultimately cause the bones to literally explode internally. Aimed at the head, the resonating skull bones have caused people to hear "voices." Researched by the Russian military more extensively than by the U.S., the Russians actually offered the use of such a weapon to the FBI in the Branch Davidian standoff to make them think that "God" was talking to them. The next area of non-lethal weapons is primarily used against machinery. Often called direct energy weapons, or "Demons," these devices can either cause the machinery to stop functioning or to render it vulnerable to further, more lethal attacks. In addition to this effect, man has become very dependent upon the use of machines and is often rendered helpless in a situation when they become dysfunctional. U.S. Special Operations Command has in its arsenal the portable microwave weapon. The capability of such a weapon is varied in that it can not only disrupt enemy communications, but can also superheat internal organs. Of course, directing this type of weapon towards personnel eliminates it from the non-lethal classification. The non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon has the ability to "fry" enemy electronics in a battle area. The pulsed chemical laser is used to generate "hot, high-pressure plasma to create a predictable blast wave on the surface of the target." The isotropic radiator is an explosion driven munition, capable of generating very bright, omni-directional light that would destroy the optics in enemy sensors destroy the retinas in any human with his eyes open. Lethal force is not desirable in a peacekeeping scenario because of the possibility of escalating the situation. Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)Good Evening, my name is Leslie Gelb. I'm President of the Council on Foreign Relations and Commander in Chief of our black helicopter forces. Only kidding Kofi [Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations], the helicopters are yours. Tonight's event is on the record. And it's being webcast on the Council's website and also by CNN. A number of our colleagues from the press are here to report on this and to televise as well, so I remind you, it is on the record. We've been at this now for almost eight years. Let me thank some people. Our Chairman for the Center all along has been General John Vessey. And Jack Vessey, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, brings great wisdom to our enterprise. The present Director of the Center is Bill Nash, a retired Army General, who led the first U.S. division into Bosnia, and who played an important role for the United Nations in Kosovo. To advance our evening, it is my incredible pleasure to introduce the Chairman of the Board of the Council on Foreign Relations, Peter G. Peterson, whose brilliant suntan belies his civic accomplishments. (Laughter). (Applause). Permit me to remind Kofi of two of Ted's dozen or so nuclear strikes that evening. Referring reverentially to my book, Gray Dawn, he said let me tell you about Peterson's book Gray Dawn. This is a book that once you put it down you will not be able to pick it up. (Laughter). We were originally scheduled, you know, to rededicate the Council's Center for Preventive Action on September 11th of all dates. Kofi Annan, the much admired leader of the United Nations, of course, was to address us that evening. Please let me introduce our presider for this evening, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chairman of our Center for Preventive Action, General John W. Vessey. General Vessey will introduce our keynote speaker, our good friend and I'm proud to say our Nobel Laureate, the United States -- the United Nations Secretary-General -- perhaps that was a Freudian slip, I don't know. (Applause) [Not to be confused with US Congressional "Committees on Foreign Relations" AKA "Select Committees on Intelligence"] Sec Def Rumsfeld: Norwegian, Denmark, Netherlands Pilots Needed to "Protect" U.S.April 3, 2002 - Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been "forced" to accept help from the Norwegian air force to protect the country from another Sept. 11-style terrorist attack. Citing the "scarcity of a number of [U.S. Air Force] assets," Rumsfeld announced Tuesday that he and Norwegian Defense Minister Kristin Devold were in basic agreement on the unprecedented plan to have foreign pilots guard U.S. air space. "We have offered the F-16s to the U.S., and the signal is that they might be needed," Devold said yesterday, according to the New York Daily News. "Norway plans to be able to go together with Denmark and the Netherlands with a deployment of F-16s if we are needed later this year," the female defense chief added. The Norwegian, Danish and Dutch pilots would have the same authority as U.S. pilots to shoot down commercial airliners that posed a "terrorist" threat. [Bush White House and Pentagon officially ordered the shoot down of United Airlines Flight 93 after passengers and pilots regained control from the hijackers.] President Bush ordered US Air Force to kill US airline passengers and shoot down US airliner on 911THE INDEPENDENT, LONDON, 20 September, 2001 - It was at this point that President Bush is said to have issued his shoot order. F-16s from Langley flew protective patterns over Washington. United Flight 93 crashed outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10.03am. The rumours that this plane was shot down are based on the fact that debris was found up to eight miles from the crash site, that one of the passengers talking on a mobile phone reported hearing an explosion and seeing a plume of white smoke in the cabin, and that eyewitnesses saw a second aircraft in the sky at the time of the crash. MSNBC NEWS, September 12, 2001 - Passengers on one jet reportedly wrested back control of it. The passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 out of Newark, N.J., knew they were going to die. Already at least one passenger had been killed by the knife-wielding terrorists who had hijacked the plane. On United Flight 93, at least one flight attendant called home to say goodbye. CeeCee Lyles called her husband at home in Fort Myers, Fla., on her cell phone. There were screams in the background. She sobbed as she told him she loved him and their children. But some decided they were going to go down fighting. From the back of the plane, Thomas Burnett, a businessman from San Ramon, Calif., called his wife, Deena. The flight was doomed he said. They were going to die. One passenger had already been stabbed to death. Burnett couldn't just sit and let it happen. "I know we're all going to die — there's three of us who are going to do something about it," the family's priest quoted Burnett as saying. President Bush and US Congress vote to give taxdollars and citizenship to tens of millions of illegal aliens including Mexicans - But no amnesty for 50-million honest Americans arrested for "speeding"Your immediate action is needed to fight a reinstatement of Section 245(i), a mini-amnesty for illegal aliens. The House is expected to vote on this on Tuesday, March 12. Your immediate action may help stop a reinstatement of Section 245(i). The White House at this moment is working all the levers of power to maneuver the Section 245i mini-amnesty through Congress before President Bush goes to Mexico on March 22. This would significantly increase permanent U.S. population growth by creating a new wave of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and the enticement of millions more to move here. It appears that the President apparently is willing to expend all the political capital necessary to have this amnesty in the form of a reinstatement of Section 245(i). Section 245i allows illegal aliens who are on a waiting list to some year receive a green card as a relative or imported worker to pay a fine and be allowed to stay in this country legally until their turn arrives on the list. Why have a list, if you are going to allow anybody who jumps the line and comes here illegally to stay anyway? Section 245i is a security risk because: 1.It allows hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to stay permanently without going through face-to-face interviews in our embassies in their own countries, cultures and languages. 2.It allows people to remain here for years -- 20-30 years in some cases -- as something just above an illegal alien until there name comes up on a waiting list for green cards. 3.It entices millions more foreign nationals to enter the country without screening to be illegal aliens here in hopes that they also will be rewarded for their lawbreaking. And all of that shows how a Section 245 amnesty boosts U.S. population growth. Click here to view and print the illegal immigration voting record for your Members of Congress. Mexican defense minister to discuss possible joint North American military forceMEXICO CITY, April 10, 2002 (AP) - Mexico's defense secretary, Gen. Gerardo Vega, was flying to Washington on Thursday to discuss military cooperation that might link U.S., Mexican and Canadian forces against terrorism in a way that NAFTA has linked North America's economies. The plan apparently is based on a U.S. Army War College report in 1999 that suggested a North American peacekeeping force that would be headquartered in the United States but include command posts that would rotate between Mexico and Canada. "One of the programs the general will discuss in the United States is a continental command that would use the North American Free Trade Agreement as a basis," a Defense Department spokesman said. Department policy required him to speak on condition of anonymity. The newspaper El Sol de Mexico reported on Tuesday that such talks were part of Vega's agenda and quoted U.S. officials as saying discussion of the idea was "a positive step." Mexico has not committed to such a plan, which would imply a historic shift in the country's military policy. It would also face enormous domestic political opposition. While Mexican pilots participated on the Allied side in World War II, the country since then has shied away from most multilateral military programs, refusing to let its soldiers serve in U.N. peacekeeping missions, for example. President Vicente Fox and his conservative National Action Party have worked to move Mexico toward greater cooperation with the United States on border security, free trade and migration. "The fight against terrorism is an international one and I think Mexico understands how important cooperation is," said National Action legislator Benjamin Mucino. "Any plan that will allow Mexico to work together with its neighbors is a step in the right direction." Southwest shall secede from U.S. to Mexico, prof predictsAlbuquerque Tribune, New Mexico, USA, March 12, 2002 - Charles Truxillo, a professor of Chicano studies at the University of New Mexico, suggests "Republica del Norte" would be a good name for a new, sovereign Hispanic nation he foresees straddling the current border between the United States and Mexico. The Republic of the North -- he predicts its creation as "an inevitability" -- would include all of the present U.S. states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, plus southern Colorado." Its capital would probably be Los Angeles. Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into being "by any means necessary." But in a recent interview at a coffee shop near the UNM campus, Truxillo said it was "unlikely" civil war would attend its birth. Instead, he said, the creation of the Republic of the North will be accomplished by political process, by the "electoral pressure" of the future majority Hispanic population throughout the region rather than by violence. "Not within the next 20 years but within 80 years," he said. "I may not live to see the Hispanic homeland, but by the end of the century my students' kids will live in it, sovereign and free." Truxillo said it's his task to help develop a "cadre of intellectuals" to begin thinking about the practicalities of how the Republic of the North can become a reality. In the past, of course, wars have erupted when states seceded from either parent nation -- including the U.S. Civil War to keep the South in the Union and, in Truxillo's quick description, "the Alamo and all that" when Texas declared itself independent of Mexico. "We will one day be a majority and reclaim our birthright by any means necessary --and we shouldn't shy away." Truxillo's tone was more scholarly during the coffee-shop interview. He said New Mexico is the first "minority-majority state" in which Hispanics and Indians and other minorities on a national level outnumber non-Hispanic whites. (U.S. census estimates of New Mexico's 1998 population: 52 percent Hispanic, Indian, Black and Asian; 48 percent non-Hispanic white. Texas is likely to become the next minority-majority state, Truxillo said, adding Hispanics are already in the majority in the border regions of all the Southwest states, largely because of a long and continuing immigration from Mexico. "There will be the negative reaction, the tortured response of someone who thinks, 'Give me a break. I just want to go to Wal-Mart.' United Nations seizes 73,270,583 acres of the United StatesWORLD NET DAILY, March 16, 2002 - Few people know – including most congressmen –that the management of 73,270,583 acres of the United States is determined by 34 non-Americans, who are elected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This land –larger than Tennessee and Kentucky combined – is distributed in 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves, managed according to principles and guidelines established by the Man and the Biosphere International Coordinating Council, and set forth in the "Seville Strategy" and the "Statutory Framework." Each Biosphere Reserve consists of a "core wilderness" area, surrounded by a buffer zone, managed for conservation objectives – both of which are surrounded by an "outer" buffer zone, also called a "zone of cooperation." The function of a Biosphere Reserve is to continually expand, and to eventually "connect" with each other through "corridors" of wilderness. The Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve was designated in 1988 as the 517,000-acre Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Today, the U.N. lists this reserve as 36,727,139 acres, with the zone of cooperation reaching from Birmingham, Ala., to Roanoke, Va. Neither Congress, nor the legislatures of any of the affected states, debated or approved the designation or the management plan. The ultimate objective is to convert as much as half of the land area of the United States to "core wilderness areas," which are off-limits to humans, with government management of most of the remaining land "for conservation objectives." This leaves only "sustainable communities" for people, which are described by Science magazine as "islands of human habitat surrounded by wilderness." This scenario is not idle speculation. The plan is well documented in the 1,140-page U.N. publication Global Biodiversity Assessment, which names "The Wildlands Project" as central to the management scheme required by the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Wildlands Project, developed by Dr. Reed F. Noss, under contract with The Nature Conservancy and the Audubon Society, calls for "at least half" of the lower 48 states to be set aside as wilderness. Through an incredibly well-orchestrated campaign, hundreds of foundation-funded so-called environmental organizations, assisted by federal and state agency personnel are working to see that land is converted to wilderness, corridors to connect the wilderness areas are developed, and regulations are put into place to control the use of "buffer zones." Still, there has been no congressional debate or approval of this land management regime. The Mexican-border area is also a hot-spot of expansion for U.N. Biosphere Reserves, including a border region that reaches 62 miles on either side of the border. A major goal here is to eventually eliminate the border altogether. Map of UN takeover of USA. United Nations to Confiscate "All" Private PropertyThe Christian ALERT Network (TCAN) - A careful analysis of major United Nations documents and plans reveals that, without exception, the UN concept of a One World Government (OWG) MUST include the confiscation of "ALL" private property. Private property by definition, includes "ALL" local church properties, individual private homes, lands and farms, private business and "ALL" other private property. Confiscation of "ALL" private property is absolutely necessary in order for the UN to "redistribute the worlds wealth" which is a primary objective of the United Nations. Private ownership of land is not compatible with socialism, communism, or with global governance as described by the United Nations. Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Mao - all took steps to forcefully nationalize the land as an essential first step toward controlling their citizens. The UN, without the use of military force, is attempting to achieve the same result. The land policy of the United Nations was first officially articulated at the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I), held in Vancouver, May 31 - June 11, 1976. Agenda Item 10 of the Conference Report sets forth the UN's official policy on land. The Preamble says: "Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable...." The Preamble is followed by nine pages of specific policy recommendations endorsed by the participating nations, including the United States. The Unconstitutional UN TreatyThe several documents contained in this packet were written and assembled by Judge J. J. Boesel, Ret. Judge J. J. Boesel is a retired Municipal Judge from Wapakoneta, Ohio and is a graduate of Ohio State University and the University of Michigan Law School. He is a former Professor of Constitution Law, Capitol University Law School, Columbus, Ohio. Judge Boesel is also a retired Army Colonel and served with the 4th Infantry Division during WWII, that made the assault landing on D-Day at Utah Beach, Normandy. Articles 36 and 43 of the UN Treaty are unconstitutional because they amend the Constitution without the consent of 3/4 of the states. There are also two laws passed pursuant to the UN Treaty which are unconstitutional for the same reason. See Reid v. Covert, 35 US1 (1957). The UN is insolvent. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros Ghali admits in New York Times interview, reprinted in Columbus Dispatch, August 29, 1993. Oklahoma is a perfect state to seek to recover the $1.2 billion recently paid by the US to the UN. See attached draft of proposed Oklahoma lawsuit v. the UN. Relator says that Article 104 and Article 105 of the United Nations Charter violate Oklahoma's rights of Sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in that they impose a Federal regulatory program upon the State of Oklahoma and all the other States using United Nations Officials and representatives of the members of the United Nations who shall enjoy privileges and immunities within the boundaries of the State of Oklahoma. Relator further says the International Organizations Immunities Act violates the doctrine of separation of powers. Under this doctrine the legislative department of the Federal Government cannot interfere with the Judicial department by placing obstructions to the Federal Judiciary in obtaining jurisdiction over the respondent therefore a violation of the doctrine of separation of powers between the judicial and legislative departments. Relator says the UN Treaty changes the Constitution by transferring Congress' power to Declare War to the UN Security Council, and that this is an unconstitutional transfer. Article 43 of the UN Treaty states: "All members of the United Nations ... undertake to make available to the Security Council on its call ... armed forces assistance and facilities." Whereas, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states: "The Congress shall have the power to declare war ...." Obviously, Congress' Constitutional power to declare war has been changed and transferred to the UN Security Council ... armed forces, assistance and facilities "on the call" of said Security Council. Relator further says that the assets of the United Nations are not at a fair valuation sufficient to pay its debts, and the Respondent, the Secretary General of the UN, is currently making transfers of funds, reportedly in excess of a half billion dollars, to so-called trust funds allegedly for the retirement benefits of its employees. Relator is further informed Respondent, the Secretary General of the UN, is transferring or has transferred assets out of the jurisdiction of this Court, viz., to the establishment of a subsidiary United Nations operation in the Country of Chile, and Relator alleges this is also in fraud of creditors, the largest of said creditors being the United States. Relator says that unless a Receiver is appointed to take over the assets of the United Nations, to marshal its assets and liens of its creditors, further transfers in fraud of its creditors will continue to be made by the Secretary General of the United Nations. KOFI ANNAN AND UNITED NATIONS ARE STAINED WITH BLOOD AND GENOCIDE - SAYS HON. CYNTHIA A. McKINNEYUS CONGRESS, November 16, 2001 - Mr. Speaker, now I think I've just about seen and heard everything: Kofi Annan and the United Nations being announced as joint recipients of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. I believe that to award the UN and Kofi Annan now amounts to an insult to the millions that have died at the hands of the United Nations in recent years. Mr. Speaker, Kofi Annan and the United Nations are stained with the blood of millions of dead people. Let me tell you about some of their recent failures. Let me start with their greatest failure--Rwanda. The 1994 Rwandan genocide must amount to one of the greatest humanitarian failures of any generation. Kofi Annan was the Director of UN Peacekeeping based in New York and was personally responsible for the UN Peace Keeping force in Rwanda. The now famous informant Jean Pierre had warned Dallaire and the UN leadership of the coming mass slaughter but his information was cavalierly dismissed. Tragically, as had been predicted, Rwanda exploded into an orgy of violence the likes of which the last century had never seen. At the end of 100 days an estimated 1,000,000 Rwandan men, women, and children had been bludgeoned, macheted, and axed to death. The daily death rate was five times that of the Nazi industrial death camps. Instead of reinforcing the UN contingent in Kigali, the UN actually ordered the withdrawal of their troops. It was then that the killing in Kigali exploded. Of course, the US bears much of the blame for the UN's inaction. And now the much-celebrated International Tribunal for Rwanda has become yet another UN bureaucratic disaster. Repeated UN investigations have found widespread mismanagement, wastage, incompetence, and corruption. The Tribunal has prosecuted a fraction of the Rwandan genocide suspects it holds in custody. It has even been criticized by its own Appeal Court of prosecutorial incompetence and failing to observe elementary due process considerations. Sadly, the Tribunal, which should have brought justice to the region, has instead become another multi-million dollar UN boondoggle. Srebrenica, a name now associated with one of the worst crimes in Europe since WWII or as Judge Riad of the ICTY described it, ``..... a place where thousands of men were executed, hundreds buried alive, men and women mutilated and slaughtered, children killed before their mother's eyes, and a grandfather was forced to eat the liver of his own grandson.'' These are truly scenes from hell written on the darkest pages of human history. The UN created a safe haven in Srebrenica and encouraged civilians to enter en masse so as to be under UN military protection. Only one condition applied--entry into the UN safe haven required Muslim fighters to surrender their weapons. This they did, hoping that if ever the need arose they would get them back. They were to be sorely disappointed on that score. When it became apparent that General Mladic was separating the men from the women and then killing them in the nearby fields, the Dutch UN troops began pleading for UN military support. But, just like Rwanda, the UN leadership once again became paralyzed and failed. They dithered over air strikes, they refused to send in troops to help the beleaguered Dutch and in the end, just as with Rwanda, the UN withdrew their troops. This permitted General Mladic to remove an estimated 5,000-8,000 Muslims from in and around the UN compound in Potocari and slaughter them. To this day the United Nations and no UN official has ever been held criminally or civilly liable, let alone even publicly admonished, for their massive failures in Srebrenica. All the families of the thousands of victims can do now is pick up the pieces of their broken families and attempt to restart their lives. I think answers to these questions beg to be asked: After such repeated UN failures to act upon knowledge of impending humanitarian disasters, what forgiveness? After such repeated UN failures to discharge their sacred duties, what accountability? After such ongoing complicity by the UN in repeated slaughters, what punishment?

Any remaining functions of such conventions and/or agreements shall not be carried out. Sign the Petition to United States Congress: End United Nations tyranny inside the U.S. Now!We, the below-signed citizens of the United States believe that NOW, at the beginning of a new millennium, is the time for the United States to remove herself from membership in the United Nations and to physically remove the United Nations Organization, it buildings and its membership, from the United States of America. We feel it is in violation of the Constitution of the United States to be signatories to a World Constitution or Charter such as that of the United Nations. We feel that many, if not all, of the activities of the United Nations are in direct conflict with the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. under color of law and using illegal Presidential Directives and Executive Orders, land belonging to the sovereign people of the United States has been repeatedly seized and turned over to the United Nations. In 1998, as if Congressional greed and stupidity weren't enough, America took place in a master environmental plan known as United Nations Agenda 21. About 450 delegates of governments, world environmental groups, universities and banks met in Rio de Janeiro to "map the future of mankind" through Agenda 21 which is also known as "Rio+5." The conference was a follow-up to the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit and spawned several treaties, each designed to destroy our national sovereignty under the guise of environmentalism. One such treaty is the so-called Bio-diversity Treaty which calls for global eco-regions controlled by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), which is nothing more than a code word for organizations under United Nations control. Since 1978, without Congressional approval, 47 U.N. "Biosphere Reserves" have been established on 43,560,254 acres (68,863 sq. miles) of United States soil. Two designations of 'international status' by the United Nations currently take place with no need of congressional approval: UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites. United Nations bureaucrats have the final say over acquisition of Biosphere reserves and World Heritage Sites, and no public hearings in the United States are required. Third world and communist dictatorships decide what goes on in Americans' backyards, and our elected officials have nothing to say about it. The United States part of the Biosphere reserve program is run by a committee of ten federal agencies, with no congressional direction or authorization. Biosphere reserves in 1998 contained a total land area larger than the State of Colorado. The United States now has 20 World Heritage Sites, 18 of which are national parks and include the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall. Over 68 percent of our national parks, preserves and monuments are currently designated at a United Nations World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve or both. The Constitution has never been amended to allow federal ownership of any lands other than originally authorized by the founding fathers. Nor does the Constitution allow foreign powers to assume control over American soil. We have surrendered sovereign rights to nearly 75 million acres of the some of the most beautiful parts of our nation – the giveaway was kept secret and we never fired a shot in our own defense. The 20 World Heritage Sites are: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park/Glacier Bay, Alaska; Olympic National Park, Washington; Redwood National Park, California; Yosemite National Park, California; Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and Montana; Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona; Chaco National Historic Park, New Mexico; Cahokia Mounds Site, Illinois; Mammoth Cave National Park, New Mexico; Statue of Liberty, New York; Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado; Independence Hall, Pennsylvania; Monticello and the University of Virginia, Virginia; Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee; Everglades National Park, Florida; Pueblo de Taos, New Mexico; Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii; Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico; Glacier National Park, Montana; and La Fortaleza and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The United Nations through various "peacekeeping" missions and disarmament hoaxes, has conspired, often with the willing help of traitors inside our own government, to weaken the United States Military through the "dumbing" down of recruits, demands they agree to serve under the United Nations flag and accept orders from United Nations commanders, in effect, placing the United States military might under the control of foreigners. We further demand that all servicemen be required to swear an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and that oath include a provision that they will only serve American officers, in American units, and under the American Flag and that they will never follow an order to fire upon American citizens, regardless of the source of that order.

Nightstalkers Over America—Urban Warrior Exercises and Our New Gestapo Police State
The U.S. Army's Nightstalkers teamed with the FBI to massacre 76 innocent men, women, and children at Waco. Now, the push for an American police state continues unabated. The U.S. military and the National Guard are now working hand-in-hand with federal, state, and local police agencies and bureaucracies to establish a seamless web of control over private citizens. Under the guise of "counterterrorism," billions of dollars are being spent to erect an Orwellian, Big Brother Communist Super-State. Particularly ominous and threatening is the "Urban Warfare" scheme, the plan concocted to use the black-suited U.S. Army's Delta Team and other special commando units to launch assaults on American cities and towns using black helicopters and maximum firepower.

Police station robbed while under martial law - allegedly an inside job by the outgoing police commanderNORTHERN IRELAND, BBC NEWS, Monday, 18 March, 2002 - An investigation is under way at Castlereagh police centre in Belfast after a police officer was tied up by a gang which burst into an office. The police said a number of men forced their way into a special branch office, where there was a single officer. The incident happened just after 2200 GMT on Sunday. The special branch officer, a detective constable, was assaulted and tied up. Sources say his mouth was taped and his head covered. Three people were involved in the incident and there are suggestions that one of them had an English accent. "But if a police station can be robbed in this way, what chance do the ordinary punters who are manning petrol stations late at night, people manning post office counters have of security if one of the most secure police establishments in Northern ireland can be broken into in such a way?" According to sources, the office wouldn't easily be found, suggesting those involved had knowledge of its location. One senior source said the possibility of an internal or inside link to the incident is under investigation. A number of documents were taken, including a note pad. Special branch deals with intelligence work, some relating to informers, and has an anti-terrorism role in Northern Ireland. Belfast Lord Mayor Jim Rodgers said he was deeply concerned at what had happened and called for a full scale investigation. "There's something rather strange about this break-in and I do not believe for one moment that either republican or loyalist paramilitaries were involved," he said. "It seems strange that this has happened when the Chief Constable Sir Ronnie Flanagan has less than two weeks left before he retires after giving long and distinguished service." [Excellent blackmail material to ensure an extra-healthy retirement paycheck, a popular tactic for American police chiefs, like LAPD's Darrel Gates, former head of "LAPD intelligence unit" ("organized crime unit") that stalked Hollywood stars and politicians, salaried at $125,000/year after retirement. LAPD recently paid $200-million settlement for LAPD operating as organized crime and racketeering.] |

Mar 15, 2002 (AP) - The airport security systems of the future can see through clothes for weapons, sniff a person for explosives and determine what's in a bottle without opening it. That future has landed at Orlando International Airport, as six prototype security systems will begin operation over the next few days. OIA, one of the world's busiest airports, was chosen in December as the testing ground for next-generation security checkpoint devices. However, the heightened security may come at a price. The scanner that can see through clothes leaves nothing to the imagination, and the bomb sniffer also can test for drugs. Both of these systems concern civil liberties advocates that these searches may go too far. The Advanced Technology Checkpoint Project made its debut to the media as government leaders looked on approvingly. "We have to make sure that people feel safe and secure going to our airports," said Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood, chairwoman of the Florida Domestic Security Advisory Panel. Airport security has been one of the nation's top priorities since Sept. 11, when terrorists hijacked four passenger planes and used them as flying bombs. Running the tests in Orlando will be the National Safe Skies Alliance, a (so-called) nonprofit (AKA nontax) organization that evaluates new security devices and reports its findings to the federal Transportation Security Administration. The checkpoint will feature six security systems: three for passengers and three for carry-on baggage. Only passengers who volunteer will go through the checkpoint. One system, the Rapiscan Secure 1000, uses low-energy X-rays to search a person through clothing. When Rapiscan project manager Bryan Allman scanned himself, detected was a plastic knife hidden in his shirt pocket. However, the outline of his body — every inch of it — also was clearly visible. Perhaps proving the machine's revealing nature, airport officials refused to put a woman in the scanner. The potential for complaints about the invasiveness of the search didn't seem to bother Allman. "Everybody has to learn that the world has changed since Sept. 11, and the world needs a much more thorough type of screening," Allman said. But the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) says the scan is too intrusive. "This, of course, is a virtual strip-search," ACLU associate director Barry Steinhardt said. "There's no question this has tremendous potential for embarrassment." Steinhardt pointed out there have been incidents across the nation where male security workers harassed female passengers during hands-on searches. "We fear this is going to be indiscriminately used," Steinhardt said. "We know that even less-invasive searches are being abused at airports." Nature, "Technology will assist the fight against terrorism" (20 September 2001) - Some technologies, such as enhanced X-ray machines that can detect objects hidden under clothing, may now win public acceptance that was previously elusive on grounds of privacy. American Science & Engineering, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a device called a Z Backscatter X-ray, which, when used in conjunction with conventional X-rays, offers sharper image resolution and can discriminate between different materials. The equipment is used by US prisons, but the FAA has yet to certify it. Airline passengers already face death from cosmic and solar radiation while flying at high altitude above the protection of the Earth's atmosphere, according to the FAA's Aerospace Medicine Radiation Calculator.
FOX NEWS CHANNEL (AP), FEB 13, 2002 - MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The FBI is probing the suspicious death of a chief suspect in a driver's license scam, whose car went up in flames a day before her arraignment. The body of Katherine Smith, 49, was found burned beyond recognition early Sunday after a fiery car crash. She was scheduled to appear in federal court Monday. "Was it an accident? Was it a suicide? Or was it something else?" FBI spokesman George Bolds said Tuesday. "It's not clear what happened exactly." Smith and five Middle Eastern men were charged last week by federal officials with conspiracy to get Tennessee driver's licenses under false pretenses. The FBI was also investigating whether Smith's co-defendants have connections to the Sept. 11 attacks or other terrorist ties. The car Smith was driving early Sunday ran off the road and struck a utility pole in a rural area just north of the Mississippi state line, Highway Patrol Lt. Col. Mark Fagan said. Smith's car "was immediately engulfed in flames," but authorities do not know whether the fire started before or after the crash. The body was so badly burned it took authorities until Tuesday to confirm Smith's identity. A prosecutor described the crash as "most unusual and suspicious." FBI agent J. Suzanne Nash said the gas tank did not explode and the car was only slightly dented from the crash. Authorities said the woman's family last saw her Saturday night and they did not know why she was driving in rural Fayette County, where the crash occurred. The area is 40 miles from her home. Bolds said it may take two or three weeks to complete an autopsy and forensic tests on the car. A federal court hearing for three of Smith's co-defendants, Mostafa Said Abou-Shahin, Abdelmuhsen Mahmid Hammad and Mohammed Fares, was set for Wednesday afternoon. Authorities did not give their ages and said they admitted being in the country illegally. The two others — Khaled Odtllah, 31, and Sakhera Hammad, 24 — were being held without bond following a Monday court hearing. Smith and the five men were arrested Feb. 5 after they left a driver testing station in Memphis. Prosecutors said Smith had processed four driver's license applications that morning based on false information provided by Odtllah. Smith, a license examiner for nine years, told authorities that Odtllah was a friend who had asked for help getting licenses six or seven times, Nash said. Nash said that when Sakhera Hammad was arrested, investigators found a Sept. 5 visitor's pass for the World Trade Center in his wallet. He told authorities he was a plumber and worked on the center's sprinkler system. He said Abdelmuhsen Mahmid Hammad was a cousin who worked with him, Nash said. Federal authorities learned that Odtllah drove to Memphis from New York City on Sept. 11, Nash said. Nash said in court Monday there was no reason to believe any of the five men was a terrorist. [HA!] AP, FEB 16, 2002 - "Terrorism Eyed in Mysterious Death" - From the very beginning, it didn't look right, said Steve Kellett, chief of the Piperton Volunteer Fire Department. The car had been moving too slowly for the accident to cause much damage. The wooden pole was barely dented. The radiator was pushed in a few inches, but the engine block was undamaged. Most important, the gas tank had not ruptured. The cardboard packaging for a replacement headlamp in the trunk was barely scorched. What could have caused a fire so severe that it cooked the passenger compartment of the sedan down to the frame, burned the driver's arms and legs off, and left her charred beyond recognition? If someone had been trying to make this death look like an accident, they had done a lousy job. Police began investigating the death as a homicide, though they have not ruled out suicide. The mystery deepened the next day when dental records identified the victim as Katherine Smith, 49, a state driver's license examiner. Tennessee is one of four states not requiring a Social Security number to get a license, and many people carry utility bills as proof of residence. Police say Odtllah came to the United States about 13 years ago from Jerusalem and had been in Tennessee for about 2 1/2 years. Smith later told officials she met Odtllah at his gas station. He sold her the Acura, which was still in Odtllah's name when Smith died. Somewhere along the line, police say, Smith and Odtllah became business partners. As an examiner in an office processing 300 to 400 diver's license applicants each day, Smith screened applicants at a front counter and gave written and road tests. Agents in New York had received a tip that the men would be traveling to Memphis that day, and the bureau's agents in Tennessee had staked out Smith's home and the motor vehicle office. When Odtllah and the others pulled out of the parking lot, agents flashed blue lights and pulled them over. A few months ago, the contents of Sakher Hammad's wallet would have seemed innocuous: Two video rental cards; two major credit cards; a card designating him a ``charter member'' of Team Ford Racing; a New York plumber's business card. And a pass, dated 09/05/01 that gave him access to the lower basement of One World Trade Center. Shown a photocopy, New York City Port Authority officials said the pass looked authentic, but they couldn't be certain without seeing the original. Authorities say Sakher Hammad told them he is plumber, and that he and his cousin were in the tower to work on the sprinkler system [which obviously failed to operate on 911]. When Smith was arrested, authorities say she admitted helping Odtllah obtain licenses for ``cousins'' on a half-dozen occasions in the past year. An FBI agent later testified that Odtllah was charging up to $1,200 each to help people get their new identities. Authorities say the men arrested with Odtllah admitted being in the country illegally. Police couldn't even tell if Smith had been wearing a seat belt. However, they had found a residue of gasoline on her body. The fire, the FBI determined, was intentionally set. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim DiScenza replied that each man had participated in a conspiracy intended to acquire a ``completely false and untraceable identity.'' Their motivation, he said, could be ``further criminal activity.'' In the wake of Sept. 11, there have been crackdowns on illegally obtained driver's licenses elsewhere. Several of the Sept. 11 hijackers had illegally obtained licenses in Virginia.
KNOXVILLE, TN-- A Rockford police officer has been charged with a vehicular homicide in the death of a Knoxville police officer killed in a motorcycle crash on March 10, 2001. The charge against Sgt. James Ray "J.R." Johnson, 33, of Maryville, came in an indictment returned Aug. 28 by a Blount County Grand Jury sitting in special session. Johnson is accused of using his police cruiser to force Phillip Mickey Laton's motorcycle into a guardrail on the Stock Creek Bridge at the Blount and Knox County line on the Old Knoxville Highway. Laton, 27, apparently died upon impact with the guardrail. Laton was employed as a Corrections Officer at the Knox County Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Knoxville. Laton was divorced, but he had full custody of his three minor children. Johnson was allowed to remain in his street clothes during the booking process. Other prisoners are required to change into a black and white striped uniform before being booked. The "accident" report made at the scene by Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Ronald McDonald, stated that Laton lost control of his 1997 Honda CR900 as he tried to pass Johnson's cruiser, hit the guardrail and skidded into Johnson's patrol car. McDonald said that two witnesses came forward two days after the accident and said Johnson swerxred his cruiser into tile path of the motorcycle, sending it careening into tile guardrail. Thc witnesses are reportedly Tennessee state highway troopers. The videotape shows Laton's motorcycle passing the patrol car without a rider. A former state investigator said, when a motorcycle crashes the rider is normally thrown from the bike upon impact, whatever the circumstances.
SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, FEB 12, 2002 - About 30 minutes before landing, Richard Bizzaro, who happened to have appeared on an in-flight video feature about his business, left his first-class seat and went to the restroom. Under Olympic security rules, passengers on commercial flights into Salt Lake City may not leave their seats during the final half-hour in the air. Bizzaro, a frequent traveler, said he had never heard the restriction announced before, and no one stopped him when he stood up. When he exited the restroom, Bizzaro said he was confronted by a flight attendant, whose comments he interpreted as rudeness. Federal prosecutors say he intimidated the attendant with his stares and his size -- 6 feet, 2 inches and 235 pounds. Bizzaro, 59, says the three air marshals looked young enough to be his grandchildren and may have had fake badges. One marshal was wearing a baseball cap backward, he added. "They did not give the appearance they were law enforcement officers and I did not pay them the proper respect," Bizzaro said. "I overheard conversations between the young men that they were observing something going on at the back of the plane. It did not occur to me that I was seen as the problem until I was informed afterwards." Bizzaro's attorney, Max Wheeler, said his client looked back because "he thought a hijacking was going on in the back of the plane." Until that time, he said, Bizzaro was thinking he may have to take action against the trio as the passengers appear to have done on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11. U.S. Attorney Paul Warner wasn't sounding mollified on Monday, two days after he charged Bizzaro with a federal crime that could net him up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Bizzaro is CEO of Unicity Network of Orem, a multilevel marketing company with $100 million in annual sales of herbal supplements. The company was featured in an in-flight CNN news segment. Bizzaro found it "kind of surreal," Wheeler said. "He was arrested just after seeing his business featured on the flight."

"Flanked by a state trooper and two police of the University of Massachusettes. And the gentleman who is the security consultant refused at first to identify himself when I asked him to, and he finally did. He said, "Whether or not you have a ticket I have bad news, prompted by the Debate Commission, to ask you to leave. So, this utter expression of disbelief that I was in the cradle of American Revolution, this state trooper steps forward, and he says, "Mr. Nader, if you do not leave, I'm going to have to arrest you!" [crowd hollers]. To which I said, in my mind, "What the hell is going on?!" [crowd laughs] "I'll see you guys in court!" And since I always prefer to be a plaintiff rather than a defendant [crowd laughs] I went back on the bus, and a week later, hauled him into federal court in Boston. So, we also sued the security consultant, and then we sued the state trooper. And I was asked in the deposition, "Why did you sue the state trooper? He was only doing his job?" I said, "Because I told the state trooper at the time, 'Sergeant, you are being given an unlawful political order by a private corporation, utilizing public property.'" And he refused to listen. State troopers are not automatons. They've got minds of their own. They've got to be able to decide that they are not going to execute an illegal order. I was not charged with being disruptive, with throwing rocks, with anything. There was no evidence of that. They wanted to exclude me for one reason only: "They didn't like me." So now we are teaching him a civics lesson, he's got to hire his lawyer. [crowd laughs] I'm sure other state troopers will become a little more "independent minded" in the future. I can't say I didn't warn him. [loud cheers]"

Rocky Mountain News, Columbine High School Massacre, April 20, 1999 - Police reports, 911 tapes and transcripts, Pulitzer photos, school tour. In January 2002, families of five slain students demanded a federal grand jury investigate the tape-recorded confession by Arapahoe County sheriff's Deputy Jim Taylor that a Denver Sgt. Dan O'Shea shot and killed 15-year-old Daniel Rohrbough as he tried to escape the killers in the school: "You could hear glass breaking, you could see kids running everywhere, and that's when I see the boy coming down the sidewalk, you know, and I see him just fall down" (the confessor/"narc" was fired, but not the killer). Families believe that at least half of the 14 dead were killed by police snipers. Jefferson County, Colorado, district attorney investigators failed to tape-record their interviews with four officers who opened fire during Columbine, not follow a police-shootings policy of taping statements from officers who use deadly force. Civil Rights lawsuits claimed that police and school administrators refused to investigate the ex-convicts' website that predicted the mass murder and a violent video they made for class that showed them gunning down fellow sports jocks, a creative writing essay about playing war and shooting an "enemy", essays and poems about suicide and murder, talk at lunch about blowing up the school, that an armed school guard fired shots to prevent the student gunmen from leaving the school then refused to shoot them in the school, that 300 police refused to enter the school as two gunmen rampaged for several hours, and that adult supervision of the conspiracy was required to plant the large bombs used during the massacre. Prior to the terrorist attack, as homework assignments school administrators ordered the children to lay in coffins and pick which students should be hypothetically murdered (I.E., "Who deserves 'most' to survive when there is limited food supply). CIA involvement? MKULTRA was the CIA's mind-control slavery to create killer zombies with implausible deniability), and CIA's routine recruitment of students and faculty at US schools and infiltration and control of most police departments and news media, and CIA's kidnapping of children for sex slaves and human sacrifices for Satanic rituals with politicians (as officially investigated by Albert Gore). Jefferson County school officials conducted an internal, in-depth investigation of tragedy as they prepared to defend themselves in court. But that report remains locked in a lawyer's office, protected by state laws. Federal legislation is pending to require all schools use electronic devices to "lock down" schools and prevent students from escaping future massacres, and neither students nor faculty are allowed the right to self defense. High schools and colleges have also discovered ways to bypass laws against corporal punishment and the profitability using private security guards and Mafia-connected tow-truckers to illegally "arrest" students and beat them severely while towing and impounding and selling their vehicles for the "crime" of parking in school parking lots. US military Special Forces routinely engage in gunplay—with orders to "shoot to kill"—while undercover at US high schools, pretending to be "gang bangers", and are not allowed to merely disarm students. Gotta break some eggs to make an omlet, er, crack some heads to make a Police State USA and New World Order. 12,000 pages of government reports on Columbine with APB News. On December 6, 2001, newspaper headlines (AP), "Columbine Killer Wanted to Crash Plane Into New York", reminded USA that the official Columbine killers allegedly wrote in a diary of: "crashing a plane into New York."
The Arizona Republic, May 22, 2002 - Dozens of Hamilton High School students and a handful of teachers thought they were in the middle of a Columbine-inspired school takeover Tuesday afternoon, when four students brandishing fake guns stormed the school. "Don't make me do it!" screamed the gun-toting students, running through a school hallway as part of a law-enforcement class drill. Unaware of the exercise, teachers swiftly locked down classrooms to ensure the safety of their bewildered students. At least one teacher, Jean Wilhelm, frantically phoned the school's front desk staff, who knew nothing of the drill, school officials said. "Those teachers and kids were in a panic because they thought this was real," said Peggy Donahue, whose son attends the school. "How could the school think it's acceptable to have kids running through the halls with guns? You have fire drills without smoke, so can't they teach safety without guns? I'm most upset." Officer Emma Bribiescas, a spokeswoman for Chandler Police, said school administrators approved the fake-gun drill, a routine part of most law-enforcement training classes. School administrators should have informed teachers and students of the drill, she said. School officials said they didn't know of the drill, which lasted less than 10 minutes. "Had we known about the fake guns we would've killed this exercise immediately," said Assistant Principal Dave Constance. "This is not an appropriate way to teach school safety." About 25 students at Hamilton High and another 25 at Chandler High annually take police-science classes taught by Officer Andy McIlveen, said Mike Desper, the school district's director of secondary education. "We told the police today we want these done on weekends or at a police range," Desper said. "Because something like this could prove traumatic or dangerous." Hamilton High offered counseling sessions to the students and teachers who witnessed the scene. One Hamilton High student recounted the harrowing experience on condition of anonymity because school officials told students not to speak of the incident, he said. Terry Locke, a spokesman for the district, refuted that allegation. "I can't imagine any school telling students that," Locke said. "We don't have any authorization to impose a gag order on students."

Man Decapitates Another Man During Fight, Puts Head on Hood of CarFOX NEWS, ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb 4, 2002 - A man with a machete beheaded another man during a fight Monday, then put the severed head on the hood of a car as neighbors watched, police said. The suspect, Dennis Roache, 34, was ordered held without bail on a first-degree murder charge. Police said Roache has a history of mental illness. A woman called police after Roache, a former boyfriend, allegedly broke into the home of her current boyfriend, Gregory L. Shannon, 18. Police said Roache cut Shannon several times with the machete, then beheaded him. Neighbors watched as Roache put the head on the car hood, then tried to arrange a rearview mirror in front of the decapitated head, police said. "He was adjusting the mirror so the head, if it were alive, could see itself," police spokesman George Kajtsa said. [And you thought that YOU were warped behind the wheel.] FBI SWAT ex-Marine with assault rifle opens fire on innocent motorist's face for unlatching seatbelt while drinking a SlurpeePASADENA, Md., March 3, 2002 (AP, Reuters) - An Eagle Scout who was mistaken for a bank robber and shot in the face by an FBI agent in Pasadena on Friday remained in serious but stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center last night. He was attached to a ventilator, making it impossible for him to speak, and his face was covered by bandages. The bullet had lodged in his left cheek, and it was unclear whether or when doctors would try to remove it. "There's certainly going to be some extensive reconstructive surgery that's needed," Asensio said. Joseph Charles Schultz, 20, was shot at close range about 6 p.m. Friday when FBI agents searching for a bank robbery suspect pulled over his girlfriend's car. Schultz, who lives in the 7900 block of Seabreeze Drive in Orchard Beach in Anne Arundel County and worked with fiber optics for a local medical company until laid off in December, has no connection to the bank robbery, officials said. At the time of the shooting, Schultz, who graduated from Northeast High School in Pasadena in 2000, was a passenger in a Pontiac Grand Am driven by his girlfriend, 16-year-old Krissy Harkum. Agents pulled Harkum from the car and threw her to the ground after the shooting. The couple was returning from a trip to Marley Station Mall in Glen Burnie when plainclothes federal agents in unmarked cars pulled them over near Key Bridge Discount Liquors at 7212 Fort Smallwood Road, according to Harkum's father, Joseph Harkum. Carrying weapons that his daughter, a junior honor student at Northeast, described as "assault rifles or machine guns," the agents ordered them to put their hands up, he said. That's when the agent on the passenger's side opened fire, striking Schultz once, he said. "Here you got two of the sweetest kids on the Earth going to the mall and having Slurpees, getting shot through the car window. It's a mess. Yeah, I'm angry," Harkum said from his Pasadena home. "She had nightmares about it," Harkum said. "She's not doing too good. Emotionally, she's not OK," he said. Krissy Harkum remained at Schultz's bedside last night. Though he was unable to speak, her father said, she told him that Schultz wrote her a note asking, "Why did he shoot me?" "Man shot unfastening seat belt - lawyer says FBI has no comment on agent's actions." He was reaching to unfasten his seat belt to comply with an FBI agent's order when the agent opened fire, an attorney for Schultz's family said Monday. "They told him to get out of the car, and he was trying to comply with that," attorney Joseph C. Asensio said. FBI officials, meanwhile, said police had arrested the man federal agents were searching for when agents mistakenly stopped Schultz. Michael J. Blottenberger Jr., 32, of the 1600 block of Locust St. in Baltimore, was charged with bank robbery and made an initial appearance Monday before a federal magistrate. Asensio, a Glen Burnie attorney, said Monday that two agents carrying assault-style rifles approached the car that Harkum was driving and ordered her and Schultz to put their hands in the air. After the couple complied, Asensio said, the agents ordered them to get out of the car. Schultz was shot when he reached over to unbuckle his seat belt. FBI officials have acknowledged that Schultz had no connection to the crime or to the suspect. Citing bureau policy, Special Agent Barry Maddox said he could not provide any details of the shooting investigation or names of the agents involved in the incident. Witnesses told police at the time that the robber left in a green pickup truck, and officers later recovered such as vehicle behind a nearby video store. Cops massacre unarmed city councilman during traffic stopGroveland, Florida, February 26, 2002 (AP) - Two police chiefs whose officers fatally shot a Mascotte City Council member said Monday the officers would only fire their weapons if they felt endangered [fearing a lawsuit and reprisals from the police!]. Mascotte Police Chief Gene Wadkins and Groveland Chief T.R. Merrill said that while they couldn't say specifically what led to Sunday's shooting of Councilman Steve Allred following a car chase, the officers must have feared for their lives. "Given our policy, that would have to be the circumstances for an officer to fire a gun," Wadkins said. Allred, 42, was a passenger in a car driven by 35-year-old Roger David Schoenberger of Groveland, who was also shot. He was in stable condition Monday at Orlando Regional Medical Center with wounds to his back and arm. He wasn't granting interviews, hospital spokesman Joe Brown said. Allred, a husband and father of four, was a craftsman at Walt Disney World where he had worked since 1988. He was elected to the Mascotte City Council in 2000. His sister-in-law, Lisa Hritz, said the family was in shock and that Allred was a dedicated family man and a strong supporter of law enforcement. "He personally knew most of the police officers in the area and we are sure as a passenger he was doing what he could to prevent this tragedy," Hritz said. The police chiefs said they couldn't say how many shots the three officers fired, whether Allred or Schoenberger had weapons, which of the three officers fired shots or what led to the shooting until a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation is completed. Both departments' use-of-force policies prohibit officers from using deadly force against suspects in nonviolent crimes or merely to apprehend someone suspected of committing a crime. The policies allow deadly force only when there is harm to officers or others or to apprehend an armed suspect who poses a danger. Smith, the Groveland officer, was arrested for criminal mischief and trespassing in 1989, years before he became a police officer, according to his personnel file. Mascotte Mayor Stanley Sloan called Allred's death "a devastating thing." "It's a very tragic situation for the family and the community," Sloan said. Cop allegedly murders family then kills self - Mind-control experiment as excuse to disarm all cops?March 26, 2002, MERCED, Calif. — A retired sheriff's deputy shot and killed his 5-year-old daughter and his three stepchildren Tuesday while his ex-wife was out for a walk, then committed suicide with the body of one of the youngsters in his arms. John Hogan, 49, had apparently entered the house after his ex-wife had set out on her morning walk, authorities said. The motive was unclear, Merced County sheriff's Cmdr. Mark Pazin said. "Nobody could ever foresee something like this," Pazin said. "I can't put it into words. It's horrifying." Hogan was found dead in the bed in the master bedroom, the body of 5-year-old Michelle Hogan in his arms. Christine McFadden returned from her walk shortly after 7 a.m. and found her 17-year-old daughter dead in the hallway outside her bedroom, said sheriff's Sgt. Tom Cavallero. McFadden went to a neighbor's house in the well-to-do neighborhood to call police, then returned home with deputies and found the three other children and Hogan in separate bedrooms, all shot to death. "It looks like they had been sleeping," Cavallero said of the children. McFadden told authorities her husband was not in the house when she left at 6 a.m. Their divorce was finalized last year. "My husband has a very bad temper and when he gets angry he explodes," McFadden wrote in an application for a restraining order in June 1998, three months after filing for divorce. Hogan served as a deputy from 1983 to 1993 before retiring for undisclosed medical reasons, the sheriff's department said. US soldiers ordered to disarm US cops - Cop defends self and massacres US soldiers during traffic stop - Soldiers fired blanks at cop in earlier traffic stopFAYETTEVILLE, N.C. Feb. 27, 2002 - A sheriff's deputy said he believed his life was in danger when he mistakenly killed one soldier and wounded another during their Green Beret training exercise. Deputy Randall Butler said the soldiers were in civilian clothing, and he had no way of knowing they were taking part in a role-playing exercise when he shot them. "I feared that they were trying to kill me," Butler told The Charlotte Observer in Wednesday's editions. "I have known in the past that soldiers would be training in our wooded areas. Never have I known them to come out in public like this." In Saturday's accident, 1st Lt. Tallas Tomeny was killed and Sgt. Stephen Phelps was wounded. Phelps was in fair condition Tuesday, Army officials said. Even as ambulances and more police officers arrived at the scene, Butler said, the soldier he wounded did not mention the exercise. "He never said a word," Butler said. "He didn't even budge." Army officials said Tuesday they have adopted new procedures in Green Beret training in the wake of the deadly mix-up. Among the changes, soldiers will no longer wear civilian clothes during role-playing exercises outside Fort Bragg, and no role-playing will involve civilian law enforcement agencies, said Col. Charles King, commander of the 1st Special Warfare Training Group, Airborne. Military officials said the shooting resulted from a breakdown in communications. Butler, who was unaware of the off-base exercise, stopped a pickup carrying two soldiers who were wearing jeans and flannel shirts and carrying a duffel bag containing a disassembled rifle. Training will continue in the current "Robin Sage" exercise, the final step in the qualification course for soldiers seeking the coveted Green Beret. Robin Sage is run four times a year in central North Carolina. "They were doing their training. I was out there doing my job [killing motorists]," Butler said. "Those two don't mix." Interstate shooting victim angry her confessed shooter is still not chargedKNOXVILLE, TN, February 28, 2002 - Sandra Steele's jaws are wired shut, forcing her to spit her words out through clenched teeth and making it difficult to understand her. But she is very clear about what happened the morning she was shot. It was Sunday, Feb. 17, and she and her son-in-law Frank Owens had driven down to Maryville from their home in Waverly, West Virginia, to take her elderly mother to her sister's home for an extended visit. They decided to get an early start on the trip back. Owens, 28, took the wheel of Steele's 1998 Ford Taurus because his mother-in-law wanted him "to learn how to drive in the big city." Steele, 52, was in the passenger side of the front seat. "We were in the slow lane going back up on 275 and a car went to pass us. I had time to look to my left and see this bright flash of light, and then it was just all this blood and pain. The bullet came in through the driver's side back window... Frank really did great. He kept me talking to keep me from going unconscious. I was going numb, and I really thought I was going to die." It was determined that she had a gunshot wound and that the bullet was lodged in the left side of her jaw. That, says Steele, is when the police took Owens away. Steele's sister, Nancy Weaver, is angry about the way Owens was treated: "They took him to an interrogation room and questioned him. Accused Frank of trying to buy drugs. That's taking somebody innocent who was shot at and asking them what they're doing wrong." Steele's doctor at UT Hospital told her that the bullet could not be removed because it is dangerously close to a nerve. Later, she and her family would find out that two young men had come forward and admitted being involved in the shooting. Another who had been in the car will probably be a material witness. The aftermath of this confession brought more consternation to Steele and her family when they saw KPD Chief Phil Keith on television and being quoted in the newspaper speaking sympathetically of the alleged perps as "young people" who got to drinking and made some "bad decisions," mentioning something about getting together with the defense attorneys to decide what charges would be placed. A quote from attorney Bob Ritchie referring to his client, the alleged shooter, as "a fine young man from a fine family" didn't sit well, either. Nor did explanations that the bullet in Steele's jaw had ricocheted off a street sign. Next, family members say they were told that they could not be given the names of the suspects. According to news reports, the suspects and the material witness told investigators that they had been out drinking and partying and that the shooter was riding in the back seat of an SUV shooting at street signs with a .22 caliber rifle. The three claim that Steele's car got in harm's way when it passed them as Ritchie's client was squeezing off a shot at a sign. ADA John Gill says not to expect any charges this week, because the case is still under investigation. When asked what is left to investigate, given the fact that they have a confession as well as the weapon, he says, "we don't just accept confessions for what they are—but sometimes we're stuck with them." Frank Weaver, Steele's brother-in-law, is unconvinced. "Accident? A rifle doesn't stick itself out a window. A rifle doesn't load itself. Even if he was just shooting at signs, they had to know that they'd hit a car, and they drove off and left her there. It's not an accident when you point a gun at a moving vehicle. They show up the next day with their high-powered lawyers, and here it is over a week later and nothing's happened. The doctors here told her she will have to wear that bullet for life. Her doctor at home says it must be removed because it is fragmenting. Sis is lucky to be alive." LAWSUIT FILED IN I-275 SHOOTING - The victim of the I-275 shooting, Sandra Steele, has filed a $2 million dollar civil lawsuit. The suit names two Williamson County men, Daniel Luther Scott, Jr. and Matthew Peabody. Woman driver hits pedestrian who gets stuck in windshield - woman parks in garage until he dies two days laterFORT WORTH, Texas, March 09, 2002 — The woman accused of leaving a hit-and-run victim to bleed to death in the windshield of her car was sitting in jail Saturday after a judge raised her bond to $250,000. Chante Mallard, 25, who had been released on $10,000 bail after her arrest Wednesday, cried in the courtroom and was taken into custody after the hearing Friday. Mallard was charged with murder for plowing into Greg Glenn Biggs, 37, with her car Oct. 26 and leaving him to die from shock and blood loss over the course of two days. According to a police report filed against her Mallard giggled several months later as she told friends, "I hit this white man." The police report (posted on The Smoking Gun Web site) says Mallard checked on Biggs several times as he was dying in her garage, but ignored his pleas for help. After the mentally ill, homeless man died, Mallard's boyfriend and his brother dumped the body. She parked the car with the wounded man stuck in the glass, went inside and had sex with her boyfriend, then returned with him to the garage to survey the situation. The affidavit states, "Shantae stated that the man was asking them to help him, but that they just walked back inside." Mallard's friends advised her not to call for help and suggested dumping the body, he said. The affidavit states Mallard sobbed and apologized to Biggs several times while he was moaning and dying, but didn't call authorities. "She sat there and cried and kept telling the white male that was sticking through her windshield that she was sorry," the report says. "She said that the man would respond to her, but she could not hear what he was saying … She was lying on the kitchen floor and crying … Chante kept going in and out of the garage telling the man she was sorry." Biggs' legs were broken and he suffered cuts, but he had no internal injuries that would have caused his death, according to the medical examiner's office. If convicted, Mallard faces a sentence ranging from five years to life in prison. "There's a pretty good possibility he'd be alive if he'd gotten help, but she concealed the body in the garage ... so that's why she's charged with murder," said Fort Worth police Lt. David Burgess. Biggs' body was found in a park Oct. 27. Authorities suspected he had been hit by a car, but they had no leads until tipster Daniel came forward last week. Police reported finding Biggs' blood and hair on Mallard's car, still in her garage more than four months after the crash. The windshield and front seats had been removed. Mallard told investigators she removed the car seats and burned them. Cop Convicted of Rape(AP) (MEDIA, Pa.) Mar 14, 2002 - A suspended Delaware County police officer was convicted Thursday of raping a woman after responding to a call at her apartment, but acquitted of charges he raped her again after returning to her apartment for a 911 hang-up call. Christopher Scaggs, 29, a police officer and former 911 dispatcher in the Philadelphia suburb fof Glenolden, faces a five-year minimum mandatory for crimes committed with a firearm and a maximum of 20 years in prison, said prosecutor Sherri Eyer. "The defendant's own words were the strongest evidence," said Eyer, referring to the tape-recorded conversations between Scaggs and his accuser. On those tapes, Scaggs is heard apologizing to the woman and saying, "I did something I probably shouldn't have done." Scaggs denied having sex with the woman when he took the stand Monday. The woman testified that Scaggs repeatedly asked whether she was alone when he entered her home after answering a domestic dispute call there in June 2000. He then began complimenting her and suddenly demanded sex, she testified. He was in full uniform with a gun, and she "did exactly what he asked me to do," she said. About 90 minutes after he left, she called 911 and hung up, and Scaggs returned. Judge William R. Toal Jr. increased Scaggs' bail to $25,000 cash with electronic home monitoring if he posts the bail. Scaggs faces a second case involving bribery and official oppression charges involving a second woman. No date has been set for that case. California Cop Accused of Raping WomenSAN BERNARDINO, April 18, 2002 (AP) - It began with one woman and one serious allegation - that a police officer had kidnapped and raped her. Months later, the San Bernardino Police Department says one of its officers has been accused of raping 11 women. And department officials say the number may climb. Officer Ronald Allen VanRossum, 37, faced arraignment Friday on more than two dozen felony counts in connection with the alleged assaults. Meanwhile, eight detectives are retracing VanRossum's steps as a patrol officer during the past two years. "They're looking at every patrol stop, every contact," said Police Chief Garrett Zimmon. "He had a lot of contact with people. ... I think that we owe that to the victims, the city and the department." VanRossum has been jailed since late March, with bail set at $2 million. He has been on paid leave from the department since Nov. 7. A judge has barred the publication of his picture at the request of a prosecutor and a defense attorney. Richard Lawhead, vice president of the San Bernardino Police Officers' Association, told the Los Angeles Times that VanRossum worked a graveyard shift so he could attend one of his children's Little League games. "He's a man who is a person of strong character," Hadden said. Court documents allege the rapes began when the 14-year police veteran returned to patrol duty in 2000. The felony complaint alleges VanRossum assaulted the women while on duty between April 2000 and November 2001. He allegedly stopped the victims while on patrol and told them, "Give me a reason why I shouldn't book you," court records show. He would then force them into a patrol car, drive them to secluded locations - often in the nearby desert - and rape them, according to the documents. At least two women have filed lawsuits against the city, alleging they were raped by VanRossum. One of those claims was settled earlier this month for an undisclosed sum, said attorney Steve Coleman, who represents one of the women. Teen-ager shot 12 times by police while sitting unconscious in a car with a flat tireRIVERSIDE, California (CNN), February 17, 1999 -- Nearly two months after police shot and killed a black California teen-ager as she sat unresponsive in her car, several investigations are unfinished and activists want the federal government to get involved in the racially charged case. The Rev. Jesse Jackson asked state officials Tuesday to press U.S. Attorney Gen. Janet Reno to investigate the December 28 death of Tyisha Miller, 19. Police in Riverside -- 60 miles east of Los Angeles -- fired on Miller in a gas station parking lot after being called to the scene by relatives who said they found her sitting in her locked automobile with a gun in her lap. Initially, the officers -- three white and one Hispanic -- said Miller fired at them with the handgun. Later, they said she grabbed at the gun after officers were unable to arouse her and one of them broke a window. More than 20 bullets were fired; Miller was hit by a dozen of them. Tests later found she was legally drunk [see articles below that prove autopsies can show a fake blood-alcohol level of over 0.40% even without any consumption of alcohol, such as in diabetic coma]. The gunfire "blew her eye out. No arrests were made, but the officers were given paid vacation. The teen-ager was killed December 28. A preliminary coroner's report said she was shot 12 times, dying from head and chest wounds. Miller was shot four times in the head and once in the chest and had seven other bullet wounds, according to the preliminary autopsy report released Thursday. Officers called to the scene by relatives at about 2 a.m. PST said they found her sitting in the car at a gas station parking lot, a gun in her lap. The car had a flat tire. Its doors were locked, the windows were rolled up, and the engine was running. Police said she didn't respond until officers broke a window to get her gun. She was shot when she grabbed the weapon, according to officers. Initially, investigators said Miller fired at officers, but they later said they didn't know who fired first. "Someone has to speak out about how they brutalized and murdered her," said Miller's uncle, Bernell Butler. He said the family "won't rest until her killers are brought to justice." Lawyers for the dead woman's family are also questioning whether the woman ever had a gun, contrary to police reports. This is a level of cold-blooded murder," Jesse Jackson said at a news conference on Tuesday. "Will our skin color be a bait or a magnet for police crime?" Later, he was the keynote speaker at a $50-per-person fund-raising dinner for the Tyisha Miller Defense Fund. The event was expected to raise about $17,500. Attorney Johnnie Cochran, who is representing Miller's family, also attended the benefit. He said the case is akin to the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles and the dragging death of a black man in Jasper, Texas, where a trial has begun for one of the murder suspects. Psycho cops rampage Los Angeles with bank robberies, drug dealing, murderous muggings and assassination threats on other cops - Get Hollywood TV series in 2002LOS ANGELES, (CBS) Feb. 25, 2000 - (CBS)In Los Angeles, Friday was sentencing day for the police officer who blew the whistle [to save his ass] on a rogue LAPD unit accused of manufacturing evidence against dozens of suspects, CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes reports. In stark contrast to the tough street cop who terrorized the neighborhood he patrolled, former Officer Rafael Perez broke down in tears as he asked forgiveness for his crimes. He told the court he was an example of what a police officer should not be. "I was living two unmistakable lives, and each day the bad would consume a little of the good," he said. Last September, he pleaded guilty to eight counts of theft and drug possession. He could have faced up to 14 years in prison. Instead, Perez was sentenced to five years for stealing cocaine from a police evidence locker, but his case is about much more than that. It was Perez who uncovered the biggest scandal in LAPD history, admitting he and other officers shot an unarmed suspect in the head, planted evidence and lied under oath. Twenty officers have been relieved of duty and 40 tainted convictions have been overturned since Perez began talking; several hundred more cases are under review. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office is looking into as many as 3,000 criminal convictions that may have been tainted by police misconduct. "The atrocities committed by myself and those who stand accused are unforgivable acts," Perez said.

In a statement obtained exclusively by CBS News, an Immigration and Naturalization supervisor reveals what he saw the night LAPD Rampart officers confronted undercover INS agents.

Next week, the Police Department releases its own internal investigation of the corruption scandal, but many question it's fairness.

Levelland Police Chief Ted Holder had a bruised head, but was not seriously injured in last week's tussle. What's not clear is how Holder got the bruise. Hockley County Sheriff Don Caddell said Holder hit his head on a sidewalk after falling backward in a "freak deal." But Holder said Caddell pushed him while going through an open door, causing him to trip over an uneven spot in the sidewalk and hit his head. Sheriff assassinated by drug-dealing police election rivals after appearing on America's Most Wanted to attack American patriotsSOMERSET, KY, April 14, 2002 - The Pulaski County community was stunned last night at the news that Catron had been murdered at a political function at the Shopville-Stab Volunteer Fire Department. Trooper Sutton said a suspect in the shooting was apprehended by a Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputy and a volunteer firefighter at approximately 7:41 p.m. KSP Trooper Chris Ison arrived to assist in the apprehension of the suspect. The suspect was released into the custody of Trooper Sutton. Pulaski County Coroner Alan Stringer pronounced Catron dead at the scene and an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. Catron suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. It has been reported that the suspect fired the fatal shot with a high powered rifle from a small hill across from the fire department. Catron was apparently going to his police cruiser when the shot was fired. Catron was seeking his fifth term as sheriff of Pulaski County. Catron was a decorated member of law enforcement, having been named sheriff of the year and serving as a board member of the Appalachian High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. The natural question last night was this: Did Catron's fierce battle with local drug dealers lead to his demise? "Well, this seems to look like a professional hit," Kavanaghsaid. "You have to wonder if it had anything to do with activities of the past few years, and Sam's war against the drug traffickers." Cindy Anderson, who produced last night's "America's Most Wanted" segment, said the show was deluged with calls, wondering if Catron's death was connected in any way to Steve Anderson. ''We have no reason to believe it's connected,'' to the militia incident, Lt. Lisa Rudzinski, a state police spokeswoman, said last night. The motorcycle that Danny Shelley raced away on after he had allegedly gunned down Pulaski Sheriff Sam Catron was a 1985 Yamaha Virago 1100. The next day during a press conference at the Pulaski County Courthouse, Kentucky State Police Capt. Paul Hays announced that the motorcycle Shelley had allegedly used to flee the scene of the shooting was registered to Republican sheriff candidate Jeff Morris. "He (Morris) said he might have it sold to someone this Saturday (which was the day the motorcycle was allegedly used as a getaway bike after the shooting of Catron)." Danny Shelley stands charged with firing the single shot that took the life of Pulaski County Sheriff Sam Catron. Jeff Morris and Kenneth White have been charged with complicity to commit the murder of a police officer for their alleged role in Catron's murder. Commonwealth's attorney Eddy Montgomery said, "At some level, drugs played a part." Montgomery also said that the current political race for the Republican nomination for Pulaski County Sheriff was also a factor in Catron's murder. "You'd be an idiot to say politics wasn't involved," Montgomery said. Morris was a deputy for Catron from 1996 until last July, when Catron fired him over what new Sheriff Jim McWhorter called "an internal disciplinary problem." Montgomery said, "Right now, I view it as a death penalty case." Kentucky sheriff slaying echoes assassination by police of Atlanta SheriffAtlanta Journal-Constitution - Jeffrey Morris carried a grudge ever since the day last summer when he was forced out of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department. One way or another, Morris would get revenge. And some drug-dealing buddies would benefit. That, at least, is the story Kentucky law enforcement officials offered Tuesday as they all but wrapped up their investigation into the assassination slaying of Catron on Saturday night. They also painted an unsavory picture of Morris' association with a hit man and a drug dealer -- campaign supporters who stood to profit handsomely with the drug-fighting Catron out of the way. Morris is expected to plead innocent Friday. Catron's death is eerily reminiscent of the murder of Derwin Brown, the DeKalb County sheriff-elect gunned down outside his home in December 2000. Former Sheriff Sidney Dorsey stands accused of orchestrating Brown's death. But with the lightning-fast arrests of the suspects, one of whom has allegedly confessed, prosecutors and police say they'll avoid DeKalb's wrenching -- and, so far, unsuccessful -- sojourn to justice. "The first thought that came to my mind was, 'Oh my God, it's happening again,' " said Brown's widow, Phyllis Brown. "Anybody losing a life for a political position is appalling, because most people run on a platform that they want to be a public servant." Catron, 48, seemed a shoo-in for re-election. He was a born crime fighter. His father, Somerset police chief for most of the 1950s, was also shot in the line of duty. He died seven years later from complications. Catron, who was unmarried, lived with his mother. Both attended Saturday's fund-raising fish fry at the Shopville-Stab Volunteer Fire Department, 10 miles east of Somerset. Jeffrey Morris and 350 others also attended the fish fry and cake auction. Catron bought three cakes, returning a $45 one to auctioneer Hawk for resale. Catron placed the Chess Square Cake into the back seat of his cruiser and stood to fetch the chocolate bundt cake when a single bullet slammed into the left side of his head. He died instantly. His camouflaged assailant must have known that Catron always wore a bulletproof vest. The shooter jumped on a motorcycle -- registered to Morris -- and sped off. But not before stopping once to make sure the lawman wasn't moving, Hawk said. A fireman and a deputy gave chase and apprehended the gunman five miles away. Morris ran his campaign on a pledge to fight drugs. According to the charges, Morris, White and Shelley plotted to kill the sheriff once his re-election campaign kicked into high gear. Morris wanted power and White and Shelley wanted a friend in the sheriff's office, the report says. White was charged last April with receiving stolen property and possession of cocaine. Those charges were dismissed in October. He had previously been charged with trafficking in cocaine, morphine and other drugs. An informant told investigators he had bought OxyContin, a prescription painkiller, from White, court documents say, and reported seeing chemicals used to make methamphetamine in White's house. It sounds sadly familiar to what transpired in DeKalb County. After a lengthy and frustrating investigation, five men were charged with murdering Brown. Two men who admitted roles in the killing struck deals for immunity. Two other defendants were acquitted last month. Only Dorsey's trial remains. Tennessee sheriff candidate accused sheriff of stealing cars with convicted cop killer and caught renting airport from drug smuggler - previous sheriff convicted of car theft and cocaine habitKNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, April 2002 - Knox race for sheriff shapes up as a shootout. Will the race against Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison turn into a grudge match? It's certainly shaping up as the most combative of the countywide elections this year. One is Jim Andrews, 56, a lawyer with a law-enforcement background. He's seeking the Democratic nomination and is likely to face Hutchison in the general election. The first person to sign Andrews' nominating petition was Joe Fowler, who was Knox County sheriff when Hutchison ousted him in 1990. Five University of Tennessee law profs also signed the petition. They are Douglas A. Blaze, Paulette J. Williams, Ben Barton, Neil Cohen and Dean Rivkin. Andrews points to his 30 years of experience in Army intelligence, as a police officer and desk sergeant in Washington, D.C., special agent in charge with the U.S. Department of Commerce and an administrative law judge. Another law-enforcement pro opposing Hutchison is Jimmy "J.J." Jones, 43, a special Knoxville Police Department officer. Jones used to work for Hutchison but quit the Sheriff's Department in disgust two years ago, calling the sheriff a "paranoid, selfish, power-crazed tyrant" who placed personal gain above the good of the county. "It's time for citizens to have a sheriff who assumes accountability and concentrates solely on providing the best law enforcement possible with no ties to outside interests," said Jones, who like Hutchison is a Republican. Jones is a 22-year law-enforcement veteran who began his career at the Sheriff's Department as a corrections officer. Today, he works with a team of investigators at the Police Department whose members tackle unsolved homicides. One issue sure to stir up debate is the sheriff's fleet of helicopters, which until recently was based at an airstrip the Sheriff's Department was leasing from a convicted drug smuggler. The 6 helicopters were paid for by the US taxpayers via the Pentagon for drug use, and refurbished by local taxpayers at a cost of $30,000 each plus full-time operating expenses. The "Landing Fee Agreement" signed in September 2001 had been paying Walker Aviation $2,700 a month for use of its Mascot Road field for one year. The situation referred to arose early this month when it came to light through the efforts of Knoxville lawyer Herbert S. Moncier that the county had a contract with a convicted drug trafficker. Walker also apologizes to Hutchison and says he "meant no harm to him or his campaign." He says the contract was simply a "business transaction, and my conviction should have no bearing at all." Sheriff Tim Hutchison said in a Jan. 4 interview that he did not know Walker had pleaded guilty in federal court to drug charges. Walker, 38, of Gatlinburg, was caught last year in Louisiana with a plane load of marijuana intended for Sevier County. He faces sentencing in federal court next month. "A sheriff needs to be certain that anyone providing assistance, facilities or support for narcotics enforcement is thoroughly checked out" and not shift blame to the county law director or county executive, Andrews said. "Everybody is blaming everybody else," said Jones. "The sheriff went out and found this vendor. He should take responsibility for what happened." Another hot topic is sure to be bank records indicating that supervisors in the sheriff's drug unit wrote checks for cash. The sheriff was also in hot water for building 400 houses with a convicted felon business partner without a contractor's license. Sheriff Hutchison previously worked for the felon as a bouncer at a nightclub that burned down mysteriously. Tennessee reportedly leads the nation in number of sheriffs convicted for narcotics trafficking. Before the previous election of Sheriff Hutchison, front-page news headlines quoted Jones as reporting that Hutchison used his police car as lookout post while chop-shop kingpin Roy Lee Clark stole cars at the West Town Mall shopping center. Metro Pulse magazine reported in 2002 that the Mafia owned both shopping malls in Knoxville. In March 1990, the FBI's Knoxville Field Office began an undercover operation, utilizing an undercover police officer (MICHAEL LLOYD RECTOR), in the investigation of ROY LEE CLARK. CLARK was suspected of operating a major commercial auto theft business throughout the southeastern part of the United States. In April, 1990, Special Agents executed a search warrant on the business premises of ROY LEE CLARK. Special Agents assigned to the Knoxville Field Office were assisted by the TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL, the KNOX COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, the KNOXVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, and the NATIONAL AUTO THEFT BUREAU. The search resulted in the removal of stolen goods valued in excess of $700,000.00. On May 31, 1990, MICHAEL LLOYD RECTOR, the undercover police officer was murdered in the front yard of his residence by an assailant firing numerous rounds at close range with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. ROY LEE CLARK was indicted on October 23, 1991, for the murder of RECTOR and was later convicted of that crime. However, Clark was not the triggerman, and his nephew was suspected of the actual assassination of Clark's brother-in-law. Clark's nephew was found hanging by the neck from a tree, riddled with bullets. The coroner ruled the death a suicide. Lawyers, inmate tell of jail raids - Men in black, wearing masks, hog-tied prisonersKNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, September 24, 1999 - Dressed in dark clothes with masks on their faces, Knox County officers have on at least two occasions this year conducted raids at the jail detention facility, jerking unsuspecting inmates from their cells and hog-tieing them, defense lawyers say. A 25-year-old Knox County man who was being held for writing bad checks said he believes he and another man were targeted for a raid Feb. 2 in the Sheriff's Detention Facility in East Knox County because they filed a federal lawsuit against the department. "(The raids are) going on, there's no way they can deny it. Too many people have seen it," said defense lawyer Bruce Poston, who represents the men. A Knox County assistant public defender said he witnessed four masked people carry out a moaning, hog-tied inmate from one of the facility's jail pods Aug. 20 while he waited nearby to meet with a client. Assistant Public Defender James Owen said sheriff's officers appeared anxious when they saw him. "I was terrified," Owen said recently. "I feared for the person in there, and then I also wondered what they were going to do to me now that I'd seen it." When asked Sept. 10 about a report that a lawyer might have witnessed the abuse and hog-tieing of an inmate, Sheriff Tim Hutchison told the News-Sentinel, "We don't hog-tie people." At the time, Chief Deputy Dwight Van de Vate suggested the lawyer might have seen a training exercise. On the same day Owen witnessed the incident, sheriff's authorities abruptly changed their jail visitation policy, requiring any lawyer who wanted to meet personally with an inmate to get a court order and give three days' advance notice. "The timing sure is troublesome," District Public Defender Mark Stephens said. Lawyers have heard stories from their clients before about teams of officers dressed in black conducting raids. Poston said Wednesday it happened to Jeff Laymon and another client, for no reason, on the afternoon of Feb. 2. Laymon, a husky six-footer, said he and about 40 other inmates were milling around their common area in Pod D of Building 2 when a guard suddenly announced, "Lockdown." The call is a signal for all inmates to go to their cells quickly and lie down on their beds. Laymon said inmates were behaving peacefully, and there appeared to be no reason for the lockdown call. As required, Laymon said he went to his cell, lay down on his mat and began reading a book. After about a half hour, he said, he could hear the shouts of numerous officers screaming orders as they entered the pod. Inmates are supposed to face away from the small window in their cell door, Laymon said. He said he was facing the window on his bed. He said he saw a masked man, who he could tell was wearing glasses, pop into view through the cell door window. He was ordered to turn around and face the wall. Laymon said officers made him stand with his head down and ordered him not to look at them. He could hear the voice of another inmate, screaming in pain outside. "I'm looking straight at the floor, which is what they're telling me to do," Laymon said Wednesday in an interview. "But they're yelling at me, '.... you, I told you not to look!"' Poston said he has talked with other inmates in the adjacent pod who watched through a large window as an estimated 30 people in black went into 2D. Poston said he believes the inmates in the neighboring pod were not supposed to have seen the raid. Because a guard in their pod didn't call for a lockdown, however, they watched as the figures in black marched inside. Laymon said he was dragged out of his cell, which authorities ransacked. "I wasn't resisting," he said. "They were just being plain rough." Eventually he was allowed back in his cell. Two other inmates, however, were hog-tied and taken away, Poston said. One of the inmates was Colin Wells, a party along with Laymon in a federal lawsuit against the Sheriff's Department to keep confidential personal information they were asked to disclose for a treatment program. Laymon said officers hurt his neck in the raid. He said he was denied medical treatment until Feb. 4. Poston said Wells was injured. On Feb. 3, Poston found out about the raid when he came to visit a client at the detention facility. The next day, Poston said he contacted the county law director's office and demanded that Laymon be given treatment. Shortly, Laymon received attention for his neck. "A load of crap" is how Van de Vate described Poston's accusation that SORT team members are practicing on live inmates with cadets in tow. He said he has heard of an attorney complaining that inmates are afraid of the SORT team, who wear special lightning bolt pins that identify their membership. "We fully intend for inmates to be afraid of the SORT team," he said. February's raid was not the last to be conducted by sheriff's authorities, lawyers say. According to James Owen, he witnessed the aftermath of one on Friday, Aug. 20. Owen is a staff lawyer in the Public Defender's office, which works on behalf on indigent defendants. Owen said he was in Building 2, the same building where Laymon and Poston say the February raid occurred. Owen had been in Pod A of Building 2 and was waiting to meet with another client in Pod B. As he waited, he said he saw an odd sight. A man wearing a dark tee shirt, dark pants and a mask that covered all of his face except his eyes, came out of Pod B, walked over to a phone at the guard desk and spoke into it. He then went back into the pod. Owen said he then saw four masked men come out carrying a hog-tied, stocky black man in a jail uniform. Owen said he has learned the inmate's name, but he said he could not provide it because the man is represented by another attorney. Ten or 15 minutes later, out came about 20 men, all wearing masks and dark clothes, at a jog. Along with them were two men, who were not wearing masks. Over the next several days, as they headed to the detention facility to conduct what they considered routine visits with their clients, defense lawyers were told by sheriff's officials they would have to get a court order and make advance plans if they wanted to visit personally inside the detention facility with any inmate. LAPD cops busted for selling illegal machine gunsLOS ANGELES (AP), March 14, 2002 - An investigation has found that police officers from several California law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, may have been involved in the sale of illegal assault weapons. The Police Department, in a statement released Wednesday night, said detectives launched an investigation before June 2001 into the sale of illegal weapons. Investigators became aware of suspicious activities after conducting routine audits of licensed gun dealers in Los Angeles. Justice Department spokeswoman Hallye Jordan confirmed that investigators have turned up evidence of possible involvement by officers in the illegal purchase and transfer of assault weapons. A Justice Department source speaking on condition of anonymity said the case involves forged LAPD documents that investigators believe were used to purchase guns under an exemption in California's assault weapons ban. The exemption allows law enforcement officers to buy the weapons if their employers authorize them to do so. The Los Angeles Police Department's Internal Affairs Group has joined the probe, but has deferred its administrative investigation until the criminal probe is complete. The revelation that Los Angeles officers may have illegally obtained assault weapons is the latest in a series of blows to the scandal-plagued agency. Law chiefs 'guilty' over sex killingsPARIS, FRANCE, 20/03/2002 - THREE French prosecutors were condemned in an unprecedented trial by their peers yesterday for ignoring the abduction, rape and murder of young women, including a British student. The successive public prosecutors from the Auxerre courthouse in Burgundy are accused of gross negligence for failing to investigate a string of kidnappings and murders in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. The cases of at least 17 young women who disappeared or were murdered were hurriedly closed, despite evidence of wrongdoing. Among the women was Joanna Parrish, a student from Gloucester whose body was found floating in the River Yonne in northern Burgundy in May 1990. She had been drugged and raped before being tied up and killed. An association of victims' families claims that the number of victims failed by the prosecutors is far higher than 17, but it is impossible to confirm because thousands of relevant case files from the Auxerre courthouse have mysteriously gone missing. One of the accused magistrates, Daniel Stilinovic, said he was "now convinced" that the murders were linked to a violent sex gang which operated from a house four miles from Auxerre. Police raided the house in 1984 after a girl escaped from a torture chamber in the basement. They found another victim chained naked to a bed with a swastika scratched on to a breast. They also found a list of names of people who paid to abuse the girls, and passed it to the Auxerre courthouse, where it, too, went missing. M Stilinovic, 54, defended himself against accusations of misconduct, arguing that it was impossible to connect the cases of the missing girls - now collectively known in France as "The Disappeared" - when they occurred. |

Step up to the Bar. No, not that kind of bar. The Bar is where the judge sits (often hiding a drink of mind-altering ingredients where no one is allowed to tread) and where lawyers and pro se litigants do their talking. Check out the ABA list of legal publications. "Unlicensed Practice of Law" - Bar associations argue that tough action is needed to protect the public from incompetent practitioners. But Stanford University legal ethics and historian Deborah Rhode, past president of the American Association of Law Schools, found no studies were performed to see if consumers had been harmed.Until the 1920s, "lawyers" in USA did not require a "license" to work. In other words, lawyers did not have to be members of the "BAR" Associations. Even today, a graduate from college with a post-graduate doctorate in law (Jurisprudence Doctorate - J.D.) can NOT practice law until "approved" by a "state" BAR Association, and cannot work in any state until passing a new BAR test and approval by the committee. BAR assocations have denied law licenses to new lawyers who have traffic citations, requiring the new/unemployed lawyer to hire a lawyer to sue the BAR Association for his/her license to work - and then must win in court. Competence has nothing to do with getting a BAR license. Since after the (so-called) Civil War, American BAR Associations are literally franchised by Lawyers Guild of Great Britain, which is a closely held private stock company--probably the majority of which is owned by the Bank of England (the same monarchy that USA supposedly defeated in the "Revolutionary" War and War of 1812). President Lincoln was murdered one week after the "Civil War" ended, before he could undo his Martial Law and reinstate the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Common Law. B.A.R. stands for "British Accreditation Research". Members of the BAR in America are titled "Esquire" - Blacks Law Dictionary 4th ed.: "In English Law. A title of dignity next above gentleman, and below knight. Also a title of office given to sheriffs, serjeants, and barristers at law, justices of the peace, and others." The original 13th Amendment to the US Constitution banned foreign nobility from holding public office: "If any citizen of the United States shall claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept or maintain any present, pension or office or emolument of any kind whatsoever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office or profit under them, or either of them." This 13th Amendment was replaced during "Reconstruction" with the current 13th Amendment, even though the new Amendment was not properly ratified and the old Amendment was not properly repealed. Therefore 90% of all politicians in USA today are holding office illegally, financing their paychecks ("taxation"/extortion) only via the murderous actions of mercenaries (police and military armies), and the murders of over 500,000 Americans during the so-called Civil War of 1860 to 1865. The Reconstruction Act of March 2, 1867, still in force, coupled with the "14th" Amendment empowered the military occupation of the States of America. We have two constitutions: (a) The Constitution of the United States of America and (b) The United States Constitution. The second came about as a result of the incorporation of 1871/1878 which created the United States Government, which is a government for the District of Columbia. This Military Occupation was further enhanced on December 13, 1913, with the Congressional creation of it's privately charted monetized debt service center. (The Federal Reserve - It is a known historical fact that during 1933 and 1937-1938, there was a big fight between President Franklin Roosevelt and the Supreme Court Justices. Roosevelt tried to stack the Supreme Court with a bunch of his pals. Roosevelt tried to enlarge the number of Justices and he tried to change the slant of the Justices. The corporate United States had to have one Supreme Court case which would support their bankruptcy problem. Their was resistance to Roosevelt's court stacking efforts. Some of the Justices tried to warn us that Roosevelt was tampering with the law and with the courts. Roosevelt was trying to see to it that prior decisions of the court were overturned. He was trying to bring in a new order, a new procedure for the law of the land. A bankruptcy case was needed on the books to legitimize the fact that the corporate U.S. had already declared bankruptcy! Since the United States Corporation, having established it headquarters within the District of Columbia, declared itself to be in the state of bankruptcy, it automatically declared bankruptcy for all its subsidiaries who were effectively connected corporate members (who happened to be the corporate state governments of the Union [and its subsidiaries, the county and city corporations].

During the year of 1930 the U.S., Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. all declared bankruptcy [AKA "Bank Holiday" - pulling gold out of circulation to repay debt plus interest]. US Constitution, State Constitutions and all case law (common law) illegally declared null and void prior to 1938. Erie replaced Civil and Criminal law with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) of bankruptcy court. (Bankruptcy law is found in Title 11 US Code.) Washington D.C. adopted the Uniform Commercial Code in 1963, just six weeks or so after Kennedy was killed [who had outlawed the Federal Research Bank - AKA international loan shark - among many other reforms]. It has been reported that every lawyer in existence and every lawyer coming up has to take a SECRET OATH to support the bankruptcy. This seems to make sense after read about Mr. Sweet's CASE FILE DISAPPEARANCE discussed below. There is more to it. Not only do they promise to support the bankruptcy, but the lawyers and judges also promise never to reveal who the true creditor party is in the bankruptcy proceedings. In court, there is never identification and appearance of the true character and principal of the proceedings. This is where you can get them for not making an appearance in court. If there is no appearance of the true party to the action, than there is no way the defendant is able to know the true NATURE AND CAUSE OF THE ACTION. You are never told the true NATURE AND THE CAUSE OF WHY YOU ARE IN FRONT OF THEIR COURT. The court is forbidden to tell you that information. That's why, if you question the true nature and cause, the judge will say, "It's not my job to tell you. You are not retaining me as an attorney and I can't give you legal advice from the bench. I suggest you hire a lawyer." The problem here is, if you hire a lawyer, who is pledged not to reveal the true nature and cause. How will you ever find out the nature and cause? You won't! Why? If the true nature and cause of the action against you is revealed, it will expose the real creditor from whom this action and cause came. In other words, they will have to name the TRUE creditor. The true creditor will have to state the nature and cause. The true creditor will have to say, "It's a bankruptcy proceeding." That declaration then opens the door for you to question, "Who the hell are you? How did you get attached to my back and by what vehicle did I promise to become a debtor to you?" In this country, the courts on every level from the justice of the peace level all the way up - even into the International Law arena (called the World Court), are administrating the bankruptcy and are pledged not to reveal who the true creditors really are and how you personally became pledged as a party or participant to the corporate United States debt. Legislation being passed by Congress was henceforth and is thereby bankruptcy legislation. When cases came before the courts, the courts could make decisions based on new controlling law of bankruptcy. It had nothing to do with Constitutional rights. Now, any case brought in is under the new bankruptcy law and is not considered as a true constitutional case. It is now a bankruptcy case as distinct from, but cleverly disguised as a constitutional case. All statutes, rules, regulations, and procedures that have been passed, whether civil or criminal, whether it is Federal or State, have all been passed to implement the public policy of bankruptcy. "On the night of December 23, 1913, the U.S. Congress committed perhaps the greatest act of treason in history. It surrendered the nation's sovereignty and sold the American people into slavery to a cabal of arch-charlatan bankers who proceeded to plunder, bankrupt, and conquer the nation with a money swindle. The "money" the banks issue is merely bookkeeping entries. It cost them nothing and is not backed by their wealth, efforts, property, or risk. It is not redeemable except in more debt paper. The Federal Reserve Act forced us to pay compound interest on thin air. We now use worthless "notes" backed by our own credit that we cannot own and are made subject to compelled performance for the "privilege. From 1913 until 1933 the U.S. paid the "interest" with more and more gold. The structured inevitability soon transpired; the Treasury was empty, the debt was greater than ever, and the U.S. declared bankruptcy. In exchange for using notes belonging to bankers who create them out of nothing on our own credit, we are forced to repay in substance (labor, property, land, businesses, resources - life) in ever-increasing amounts. This may be the greatest heist and fraud of all time.In 1933 the U.S. declared bankruptcy, as expressed in Roosevelt's Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260, House Joint Resolution 192 of June 5, 1933 confirmed in Perry v. U.S. (1935) 294 U.S. 330-381, 79 LEd 912, as well as 31 United States Code (USC) 5112, 5119 and 12 USC 95a. The bankrupt U.S. went into receivership, reorganized in favor of its creditors and new owners. 1913 turned over America lock, stock, and barrel to a handful of criminals whose avowed intent from the beginning was to plunder, bankrupt, conquer, and enslave the people of the United States of America and eliminate the nation from the face of the earth. The goal was, and is, to absorb America into a one-world private commercial government, a "New World Order." With the Erie RR v. Thompkins case of 1938 the Supreme Court confirmed their success; we are now in an international private commercial jurisdiction in colorable admiralty-maritime under the Law Merchant. We have been conned and betrayed out of our sovereignty, rights, property, freedom, common law, Article III courts, and Republic. The Bill of Rights has been statutized into "civil rights" in commerce. America has been stolen. We have been made slaves: permanent debtors, bankrupt, in legal incapacity, rendered "commercial persons," "residents," and corporate franchisees known as "citizens of the United States" under the so-called "14th Amendment." Said "Amendment" (which was never ratified - see Congressional Record, June 13, 1967; Dyett v. Turner, (1968) 439 P2d 266, 267; State v. Phillips, (1975) affirmed. When you think of the IRS, be aware that the IRS is an agent of the creditor, the corporate International Banksters. This is just one of the Bankster's state side agencies. The General Accounting Office (GAO) is charged with the responsibilities to keep track of the debt. All the states have to send reports to Washington, D.C. Washington D.C., itself, has to send reports to the GAO. Take a look at your state Comptroller's Annual Report to the Governor of your state. I found it in the library located in the city of the corporate state capital. Look under "Trust Fund" for each state sub-corporation like the state courts, HRS, Banks, Education, etc. you will be amazed at the amount of money being pumped into the Trust Fund from the various Corporate State Department Revenues (all revenue is referred to as taxes, fines, fees, licenses, etc.). There are millions and billions of your hard earned worthless Federal Reserve Notes, "dollars", being held in "trust." This money is being siphoned off into the coffers of the International Banksters while the corporate government officials are hounding you for more taxes. The American Bar Association is a franchise of the Lawyer's Guild of Great Britain. There was a deal struck that, if any person who doesn't have a lawyer to bring a case before the courts, and this person proves the fraud, and speaks the truth about the fraud, the courts are compelled to not allow the case to be cited or published anywhere. The courts cannot afford to have the case freely available in the public archives. This would be evidence of the fraud. This is why you can't hire an attorney. An Attorney is compelled to uphold the fraud. The American Bar Association is not concerned primarily with what happens in any case on the local level. However, when a case leaves the local level, by that, I mean the state court, city court or the justice of the peace, or even the federal court, and goes to the appeals court, it would appear that the American Bar Association takes notice of the case. It would seem that the American Bar Association must have an agreement that any action brought on an appeal, must be reviewed by the American Bar Association. If this is true, it would make sense. How else would the American Bar Association, a branch of the Lawyer's Guild of Great Britain, which is the legal arm of the Rothchild's Dynasty, be able to monitor and administrate the corporate Bankruptcy. It would appear that the American Bar Association would be compelled to review all appeal cases and to make certain any case brought under the common law or the constitutional law that would expose the bankruptcy, would be immediately stamped on the back that "this case is not to be cited or published" [unconstitutional "unpublished" citations to case law - AKA THE BEST AND MOST USEFUL CASES]. I believe that this is the stamp origin and purpose of the stamp message in such cases. The justice department maybe able to do that in Washington, D.C. I can't see where any judge or lawyer could have the authority to stamp or lable the case as one not to be cited for future cases. I think that is an official stamp from the American Bar Association." Because she is claiming to be bankrupt, she freely gives her land, her personnel, and the money she steals from the Americans via the I.R.S. and her state corporations, to the United Nations and the International Bankers as payment for her debt. The UN and the International Bankers use this money and services for various world wide projects to include war. War is an extremely lucrative business for the bankers of the New World Order. Loans for destruction. Loans for re-construction. Loans for controlling people on her world property. [click link to read entire text]
DUHAIME'S LAW DICTIONARY - "The formal condition of an insolvent person being declared bankrupt under law. The legal effect is to divert most of the debtor's assets and debts to the administration of a third person, sometimes called a " trustee in bankruptcy", from which outstanding debts are paid pro rata. Bankruptcy forces the debtor into a statutory period during which his or her commercial and financial affairs are administered under the strict supervision of the trustee. Bankruptcy usually involves the removal of several special legal rights such as the right to sit on a board of directors or, for some professions that form part of the justice system, to practice, such as lawyers or judges. Commercial organizations usually add other non-legal burdens upon bankrupts such as the refusal of credit. The duration of "bankruptcy" status varies from state to state but it does have the benefit of erasing most debts even if they were not satisfied by the sale of the debtor's assets. [In USA, drivers convicted of so-called "Drunk Driving", and/or have lost a civil lawsuit for injuries caused by a DUI crash, cannot discharge these fines and judgements with bankruptcy, resulting in virtual indentured servitude for the rest of their lives.] Bad faith - Intent to deceive. A person who intentionally tries to deceive or mislead another in order to gain some advantage. Breach of contract - The failure to do what one promised to do under a contract. Proving a breach of contract is a prerequisite of any suit for damages based on the contract. Buggery - Synonymous with sodomy and referring to "unnatural" sex acts, including copulation, either between two persons of the same sex or between a person and an animal (the latter act also known as "bestiality"). Most countries outlaw bestiality but homosexual activity is gradually being "decriminalized". [AKA "civil" litigation by a government Inc. with no presumption of "innocence", no Constitutional rights, only a 51% "burden of proof" for a "prosecutor" and property forfeiture of vehicles and all other property upon mere allegation. 700,000 rapes-by-buggery occur to American men in government gulags every year, increasing by 100,000 per year.]
The Bar Council ® is the regulatory and representative body for barristers in England and Wales. It deals with the qualification and conduct rules governing barristers and those wishing to become barristers. It deals with complaints against barristers. It also puts the Bar's view on matters of concern about the legal system and acts as a source of information about the Bar. 3 Verulam Buildings, Gray's Inn of Court, London - The English legal profession consists of two branches, barristers (the Bar) [AKA "Trial Lawyers"] and solicitors [AKA "Paralegals" or "lawyers" who never appear in court to argue a trial - Solicitors compose 90% of all "lawyers", just like most lawyers in America who are "terrified of a courtroom", same as most people]. The majority of lawyers practising in England and Wales are solicitors, and it is with solicitors that most people deal, most of the time. Most solicitors are law graduates, although some are not. Solicitors are represented by the Law Society. In general, a barrister has no direct contact with the client, only through the instructing solicitor. The solicitor will choose the barrister best suited to the needs of the client. In other words, solicitors don't appear in court on a client's behalf and barristers don't give legal advice to clients. In England, barristers and solicitors work as a team: the solicitor would typically make the first contact with a client and if the issue cannot be resolved and proceeds to trial, the solicitor would transfer the case to a barrister for the duration of the litigation. Lawyers in some states, such as Canada, sometimes use the title "barrister and solicitor" even though, contrary to England, there is no legal distinction between the advising and litigating roles. Canadian lawyers can litigate or give legal advice, as is the case in the USA, where lawyers are referred to as "attorneys." The solicitors' profession has a long history, going back to the 12th century, when the language of the courts was Norman French and litigants therefore needed a representative to act as a translator. This representative might also appear in court on the client's behalf. They were known as attorneys, and were the forerunners of today's solicitors. Over the centuries a division grew up between the attorneys and court pleaders, or barristers. The profession was largely unregulated until the Law Society was founded. It was granted a Royal Charter in 1845 which empowered it to enforce national standards of conduct and education. About the same time the term attorney was dropped in favour of the title "solicitor". Barristers can, however, accept instructions directly from foreign lawyers or clients, if no litigation before an English court is in progress or anticipated. The role of the Bar is traditionally three-fold. First, barristers are trained and skilled advocates, and until recently the Bar enjoyed a monopoly on rights of audience before the higher Courts in England and Wales. Second, members of the Bar provide specialist advice on questions of law; this may be in the context of litigation, or in relation to non-contentious business. Third, barristers are trained and experienced in the drafting of legal documents. Barristers do not attempt to provide the range of all-round services which large firms of solicitors offer. Nor do they have the administrative resources to match a solicitor's firm. Barristers work as independent specialists, alone or in small teams, on a particular case or project. Traditionally, in domestic matters, barristers have been permitted to receive their instructions only from solicitors. Where there is an international element, there are a number of situations in which barristers may provide their services directly to foreign lawyers or parties. Those situations, known as 'International Practice', are the subject of this brochure. Until recently barristers were not permitted to appear before any Courts or Tribunals in England and Wales unless instructed by an English solicitor. However, as long as the services they provide are limited to advocacy, barristers may now be instructed to do so by any foreign qualified lawyer who is entitled to conduct litigation in that court either pursuant to English statute, or by virtue of European Community law. Subject to any applicable local laws or professional rules, English barristers may be instructed by foreign lawyers, or by foreign lay clients directly, for the purposes of litigation or other proceedings before the Courts and Tribunals of any other country. These include most common law jurisdictions. Of particular importance is the dispute settlement procedure of the World Trade Organisation. Chambers also includes practitioners with expertise in European Community law, with experience before the Courts of England and Wales, and before the European Court of Justice. Judges are appointed [as in Martial Law courts in USA] from both branches of the legal profession. All members of the judiciary are appointed by the Lord Chancellor who is a member of the Government and also speaker of the House of Lords [inherited titles of nobility]. They serve in the House of Lords (the final appellate court), the Court of Appeal, the High Court and Crown Court or as Circuit or District Judges. The Circuit Judges sit either in Crown Courts to try criminal cases or in County Courts to try civil cases. District Judges sit in County Courts. There are also part-time Judges appointed from both branches of the practising legal profession, who serve in the Crown Court, County Court or on various tribunals, for instance those dealing with unfair dismissal from employment. In fact, most cases are dealt with not by Judges but by lay people, who are appointed to various tribunals because of their special knowledge, experience and good standing. For instance, the majority of minor criminal cases are judged by Justices of the Peace in Magistrates Courts. They are not legally qualified or paid. All minor criminal matters [traffic tickets - "misdemeanors" in USA] are dealt with by the Magistrates Court, but any case that may result in a prison sentence of more than six months is immediately referred to the Crown Court for trial. Here the case will be decided upon by a lay jury, the essential element of the Common Law system. Extensive links to British, European and International law.
BBC News, London, 8 March, 2001 - Lawyers have dismissed claims by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) that clients are getting a raw deal because of restrictive practices. An OFT report says all lawyers should be made to comply with competition legislation so their clients are given greater choice and pay lower prices. There was also criticism for the Bar Council's code of conduct which stops barristers forming partnerships with other professionals, preventing them from forming "one-stop shops" with accountants, surveyors or estate agents, which could lead to savings. The report also challenged the rules which stopped clients seeing a barrister without going through a solicitor, requiring them to "employ two types of lawyer where one might do". Mr Vickers said: "Competition brings consumers lower prices, more choice and new services." 7 February, 2001 - Criminal lawyers are so dissatisfied with their pay and conditions they are in open rebellion with their bosses, the Legal Services Commission, the BBC has discovered. The quarrel, about new legal aid contracts, is so serious that it threatens to bring the country's criminal justice system to a standstill. The Lord Chancellor is expected to try to head off a dispute by offering higher rates of pay in a statement later on Tuesday. Criminal lawyers all over the country are refusing to sign new Legal Aid contracts. If they do not sign by 1 April they will not be able to take on Legal Aid cases and the criminal justice system in these areas will grind to a halt. Ian Kelcey, a partner in a large criminal law practice in Bristol, one of the centres of the revolt, warned that the criminal justice system will face "meltdown" if an agreement cannot be reached. Legal Aid rates have not gone up for eight years, but at the same time costs have risen by about 25%. Amanda Thornton has just qualified after seven years, is burdened with debt, and earns less than a call centre supervisor , or assistant manager in a fast food outlet. She said: "I earn slightly more than my secretary and less than all of my peers at school and university. "I can't afford a mortgage and certainly couldn't even dream of starting a family on my current wage." This lack of a living wage will lead to a brain drain and ultimately miscarriages of justice. 27 February, 2001 - Home Secretary Jack Straw has plunged into a row with lawyers after he accused some of lacking "social responsibility". But Michael Napier, president of the Law Society, said he was "astonished by the inaccurate picture Mr Straw has given of the solicitors' profession". Mr Straw, who is a qualified barrister, told his audience that he feared lawyers would soon outnumber police officers. Mr Napier said there were only about 11,300 solicitors who represented people accused of crimes, compared with 125,000 police officers. He said: "Mr Straw's comments totally misrepresent the work of the legal profession, who undertake a wide range of work, from dedicated lawyers working within the Community Legal Service to international lawyers helping the country's exports. Many senior and experienced barristers in England are 'Queen's Counsel' (QC), an appointment accorded to them by the Queen of England, allowing them to charge higher fees.

History Channel TeeVee discussed KNIGHTS TEMPLAR as Europe's strongest Secret Society until its WAR MONGERING LAWYERS AND BANKERS were burned at the stake for TREASON. THIS IS THE SOURCE FOR WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S FAMOUS QUOTE - "LET US KILL ALL THE LAWYERS!" They regrouped in Scotland and formed the SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY before taking over USA beginning with 55 of 56 signers of DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. In 1850 the former headquarters of Knights Templar in London, now named the INNS OF COURT, became the British BAR - BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF REGISTRY - and are known in USA today as the AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION of lawyers.

Barristers have been providing expert advice and advocacy since the 13th century. For many years they had a monopoly on the right to represent people in the higher courts. Although barristers are primarily regulated by the Bar Council, the Inns of Court have an important role as Inns of Court School of Law, and are popular for their restaurants and medieval tourist attractions (some of the stained glass in the windows dates back to the sixteenth century - including a gift from the American Bar Association - It was at the high table that Sir Winston first met Franklin Roosevelt in 1918 [the year of President Woodrow Wilson's treasonous Federal Reserve Act and attempt to create the New World Order's first attempt at a post-World War extortion for a "United Nations" government/dictatorship]. Mr Roosevelt [who was related to British royalty], was the Assistant Secretary of the United States Navy and the Rt Hon. Winston Churchill M.P. was the Minister of Munitions.). Indeed, you can only be a barrister if you have been "Called to the Bar" by an Inn of Court. Anyone wishing to train for the Bar must join one of the Inns and it is the Inns alone which have the power to call a student to the Bar. There are four Inns of Court: Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple. The Inns provide important library, training, dining facilities and tourist stops in London. Fifteen Prime Ministers, from Pitt to Tony Blair, have been members of Lincoln's Inn. Nearly half of the Lord Chancellors since 1800 have been members of the Inn. Its formal records, contained in the ''Black Books'', go back continuously to 1422. This is nearly 80 years earlier than any other Inn (Middle Temple 1501, Inner Temple 1505, Gray's Inn 1569). It is plain, too, that in 1422 the Inn had been in existence for some while. There is some ground for saying that an ordinance of Edward I made in 1292 was in some part responsible for the founding of the Inns. That Ordinance placed both branches of the profession (barristers and solicitors, as they would be called today) under the control of the judges, and hastened the end of the clergy as lawyers in the King's courts; and the new race of professional lawyers. The three ranks of membership of the Inn are students, barristers and benchers. Lincoln Inn has a Royal Bencher, H. R. H. Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. Previous Royal Benchers of the Inn have included H.R.H. Prince Albert, H.M. King George V, H.R.H. Prince George, Duke of Kent, and H.M. Queen Mary. After Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, he paid a number of visits to the Inn. The most famous was the fourth, on February 29, 1672, when he came with his brother (the future James II), Prince Rupert, the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond, and many others. The toast was drunk thus when the future George V was Treasurer in 1904, and again when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, dined in the Inn in 1967 while Princess Margaret was Treasurer. In 1904, too, the Treasurer obeyed the customary order of the junior bencher, given in a peremptory tone at a suitable period after dinner, to ''Ring the bell''; after the butler has appeared and the Treasurer has asked the junior what he wants, the junior replies with a loud ''Port''. In what is now called the Old Hall, benchers, barristers and students of the Inn were eating, drinking, debating and holding their revels 130 years before the Mayflower left Plymouth on its historic voyage. The Old Hall was also regularly used as a court of justice. Much of the Inn consists of four- or five-storey buildings, with the top floor or floors used as residential flats and the rest used as professional chambers or offices. The Inns of Chancery seem to have taken their name from being originally bodies which served the needs of the clerks in the Chancery, the Lord Chancellor's Office from which all writs had to be obtained. Later these Inns also included attorneys, who practised in the courts of common law. By the end of the 16th century, many changes were on the way. Attorneys and solicitors had by then been excluded from the Inns of Court, though the exclusion did not become complete until the end of the 18th century. Honourable Society of the Inner Temple occupies the eastern half of a site, known as the Temple, which was chosen by the crusading Knights Templar [predecessors to the Luciferian Freemasons who work to destroy United States of America and have their national House of the Temple in Washington DC] in the twelfth century as their London headquarters. The recorded history of the area known as the Temple begins in about 1160 when it was acquired by the Knights of the Military Order of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, who moved their London base there from the Old Temple site in Holborn. Following the loss of the Holy Land in the 1290s, the Order of the Temple declined and in 1312 was dissolved, after the Knights had been arrested and imprisoned at the instigation of Pope Clement V for alleged malpractice. The Templars estates were granted by the Pope to the Knights of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and, although the New Temple was seized initially by Edward II as forfeit to the Crown, the King conceded the consecrated portion and subsequently the whole site to the Hospitallers. The Temple Cathedral was consecrated in 1185. The Hall stands on the site of one of the ancient halls of the Knights of the Temple. At the west end there still survives a mediaeval portion consisting of the old buttery and the crypt beneath it. The mediaeval Hall was taken down in 1868 and replaced by a larger Gothic Hall which was bombed and destroyed by enemy action during World War II. The Pegasus Bar and Students' Common Room opened in January 1992 in the basement of the Treasury building. Students may lunch in the Hall but must observe the dress code - dark suits. Honourable Society of the Middle Temple ("the Inn") occupies the western half of the land known as the Temple, formerly the London headquarters of the Knights Templar. The Middle Temple has occupied its present site since the mid-14th century when this Society rented the land from the Knights Hospitaller, who had acquired it following the fall of the Knights Templar. After the Reformation the Temple became the property of the Crown until 1608 when King James I conveyed the lands of the Temple to the Societies of Inner Temple and Middle Temple. The records of the Inn date back to 1501. Numerous Lord Chancellors, Masters of the Rolls, Lord Chief Justices and famous law writers and barristers, the Inn has had, and continues to have, many eminent statesmen and politicians among its membership. Those who distinguished themselves in other fields include the Elizabethan explorers, sailors and soldiers such as Sir Walter Ralegh. The membership of the Inn consists of Masters of the Bench, known as "benchers", members of the judiciary who are not benchers, and barristers and students. Members habitually call the Inn "Domus" - Latin for "the household" or "the home" - and benchers are known in Domus as "Master". Constitution - The Inn is governed by the benchers who meet in "Parliament" every two months. Every year they elect of their number as "Master Treasurer", who becomes the executive head of the Inn and, consulting Parliament as appropriate, deals with all matters of administration. The Bench works largely through committees, on which Hall members (barristers and students) have substantial representation. The Inn's name derives from the Knights Templar who were in possession of the site we now call the Temple for some 150 years. The origins of the Inn trace from two roots: the occupation of the Knights and the replacement of priestly lawyers by a lay profession. Once established, the Order grew quickly in its importance. Houses of the Order were founded in many European countries to recruit members and to act as rear echelons for the knights in the field in the Levant or Outremer, as it was called. The building and maintenance of their many castles there, the payment of their local mercenaries and the attendant costs were considerable. In England the Order's first House was in Holborn where the first Round Church was built, all Templar Churches being circular on the model of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. On Christmas Day 1119 and at the instance of King Baldwin II of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem and of the Patriarch of Jerusalem nine knights took monastic vows, styling themselves The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Jesus Christ. They were quartered in the remains of the Temple of Solomon (of which today only the Wailing Wall remains) and hence the other name by which the Order was known: the Knights of the Temple of Solomon. The purpose of the foundation was the protection of pilgrims from Western Europe on their way through the Levant to visit the Holy Places. A considerable increase in the 12th century of the number making that pilgrimage and the developing conflict between Christian and Muslim made that necessary. Laymen of knightly rank could serve with the Order. The New Temple soon developed connections with the King's administration and particularly with the Exchequer. In the height of the Templars' influence the New Temple was a centre of royal, diplomatic and fiscal activity. A secure site held by a religious and military Order could not be bettered for the purposes of a treasury. There has been law teaching on the site of the Honorable Society of Gray's Inn since the reign of Edward III. Notable Gray's Inn members over the centuries include Edmund Dudley and Thomas Cromwell, both of whom were beheaded by Henry VIII. The Inn was renowned for its "Shows" and, indeed, Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" was first performed in Hall at Christmastide 1594. Shakespeare's patron, the Early of Southampton, was also a member, and Shakespeare is reputed to have acted in the Hall. In the early nineteenth century the teenage Charles Dickens spent eighteen months as a clerk in what is now South Square, and the Inn features in both "David Copperfield" and "The Pickwick Papers". In the 20th century, F. E. Smith, Lord Birkenhead, was Treasurer several times, and Winston Churchill and the future President Roosevelt met for the first time as his guests at a Gray's Inn dinner in 1918. Both Churchill and Roosevelt were later made Honorary Benchers. The Inn was heavily bombed in the Second World War. Originally the Inn used the le Grey (or "de Grey") arms. The seal of the Society is the Badge encircled by the motto: "Integra Lex Aequi Custos Rectique Magistra Non Habet Affectus Sed Causas Gubernat" (Impartial justice, guardian of equity, mistress of the law, without fear or favour rules men's causes aright). The Manor House was the property of Sir Reginald de Grey, Chief Justice of Chester, Constable and Sheriff of Nottingham, who died in 1308. In 1388 there is record of members of Gray's Inn, the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple graduating as Serjeants-at-law. In 1285 King Edward I went to France to attend to the affairs of his Duchy of Aquitaine; he stayed away for nearly 4 years and during that time many of his judicial and administrative Officers in England engaged in corruption. On his return the King set up a commission to inquire into the whole matter and many of the Judges were disgraced and dismissed. Between 1680 and 1687 there were three disastrous fires in Gray's Inn. That of 1684 was particularly grievous for it burnt the Library, and that is probably when our ancient records were lost. In 1852 the Council of Legal Education was established. Twenty years later, in 1872, examination for Call to the Bar was introduced.
Inns of Court, London [equivalent to Ivy-League Yale and Harvard Law Schools in USA, with their Skull & Bones Secret Societies of Death, Drugrunning and Mass-Murder for Profit] - This article was presented at a lecture Professor Bill Blair, Member of the International Monetary Law Committee, author of articles, "Derivatives Sales Liability: Approach of the English and US Courts" and "Dealing with Banks in Distress", [any relation to British Prime Minister Anthony "Tony" Blair, Esquire, "Labour" Party, also at Inns of Court?] delivered on 15 February 2000 at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) which was co-sponsored by the Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong and the HKMA. It was published in the Hong Kong Law Journal at (2000) HKLJ 75 and revised on 22 May 2001. The article examines the circumstances in which one person may attract liability for the fraud of another person. In common law systems, fact situations are traditionally distinguished according to whether the person concerned assisted in the fraud, or beneficially received the proceeds. The issues have been characterised as arising under the law of trusts, and labelled 'knowing assistance' and 'knowing receipt' respectively. This article seeks to consider the issues specifically from the perspective of banks and other financial institutions. "Banks are almost always caught up in fraudulent activity of any magnitude. A bank becomes the potential object of litigation where it has provided banking services to fiduciaries behaving in a fraudulent or improper manner. The claim against the bank is essentially that it is liable to those who have suffered loss because it has become implicated in the wrongdoing. The most important practical consideration is that one or more banks will almost inevitably be involved in every fraud of any magnitude. Other third parties such as lawyers or accountants may or may not be involved, but funds necessarily move through the banking system. Even cash requires a bank as a point of withdrawal. So banks are inevitably in the front line, a fact recognised in the importance attached to institutional precautions against money laundering. Where dishonesty on the part of the institution is involved, the answer in theory is simple. Dishonesty will and should result in liability for loss which it causes. Where the institution has itself benefited from the receipt of the stolen funds, it seems reasonable in principle to adopt a lower standard than dishonesty. Typically, for example, international payments are made across the books of two or more banks that settle between themselves through a clearing house such as CHIPS in New York. The amounts involved on a daily basis are vast. If the money is still there when the wrongdoing is uncovered, the account can be frozen and a tracing claim will lie. There is no need for a secondary claim against the bank. The bank is liable in the tort of conversion. Breach of contract and duty of care: It is important to consider the interrelationship between a constructive trust claim and claims in contract and tort. In the financial context, there are two general points to make. The first relates to the contract between bank and customer. As between a paying bank and its own customer, it is doubtful that a claim in constructive trust can succeed unless the bank is in breach of its contractual duty of care in executing its customer's payment instructions. A bank's clear obligation is to follow its customer's payment instructions unless it is on notice of fraud: the modern payment process is geared to speed and bulk. To establish a claim, 'the plaintiff must show, first, a disposal of his assets in breach of fiduciary duty; secondly, the beneficial receipt by the defendant of assets which are traceable as representing the assets of the plaintiff; and thirdly, knowledge on the part of the defendant that the assets he received are traceable to a breach of fiduciary duty'.note 17 The essential elements of liability therefore are that the defendant has received for his own benefit trust assets belonging to the plaintiff knowing that the transfer was in breach of trust. But it is interesting to note that in practice, where the behaviour of a corporation such as a bank is concerned, the gulf between actual and constructive notice may not be as wide as is sometimes supposed. The following passage makes the point: 'Account officers are not detectives. Unless and until they are alerted to the possibility of wrongdoing, they proceed, and are entitled to proceed, on the assumption that they are dealing with honest men. In order to establish constructive notice it is necessary to prove that the facts known to the defendant made it imperative for him to seek an explanation, because in the absence of an explanation it was obvious that the transaction was probably improper.' There is authority in favour of moving from a notice-based test, towards consideration of whether the recipient's state of knowledge makes it 'unconscionable' for him to retain the benefit of the receipt. Where a bank is the recipient of the funds alleged to have been transferred in breach of trust, other issues arise because of its corporate status. Whose knowledge is to be taken as that of the bank? The answer is probably that of the officer or officers who have conduct of the transaction in question. Liability is fault-based with the requirement being that the bank must have had actual or constructive notice of the relevant breach of trust (depending on how the test is formulated). In many cases, it is the latter requirement which is the most important limiting factor." More articles at Inns of Court.
"Cognitive Dissonance" is when your mind does not want to believe what it is being told or shown to it ["denial" = "driven to 'insanity'"]. Freedom is not a spectator sport. Have you unwittingly submitted yourself to a life of servitude to Big Brother? The BBCOA Resource Center investigates the laws of identification, and reveals how governments re-create their citizens as fictional entities, thereby holding power over them. Although most people carry ID cards, they have absolutely no foundation in law whatsoever. There is no law written that makes it mandatory for anyone to carry any type of ID. The only time anyone is required to have ID is to access so-called privileges and benefits granted by the issuing party. If you have no need for special privileges and benefits granted by others, there is no need for an ID card. You willfully applied for the ID hoping to receive some type of special privilege or benefit granted by the authority. The question is, do you, as most people believe, need permission (license and permit) to contract, work, get married, use the public roads (liberty of movement), own property, open a business, choose their own destiny, worship, defend themselves, etc.? The answer is ... you don't. That is unless you voluntarily, by your own free will and volition, apply for, are granted, and accept the fictitious privilege or benefit being offered. Thereby placing yourself into a state of "voluntary servitude." The constitution of the United States of America clearly states that the condition of "involuntary" servitude shall forever be prohibited. The key word here is "involuntary." Several peculiar things happen when you voluntarily apply for and accept identifying documents from government or government created entities. (1) Name change: Your persona changes to a legal fiction with no persona (as a man or woman) standing in judicio (in court) whatsoever. This is accomplished by changing your lawfully "given name" (appellation) to that of a legal fiction. That legal fiction is represented by your name spelled in all capital letters, and may include initials. (2) A firm legal attachment has been made between you and the issuing party. By carrying a state issued ID card you are placed "within" the issuing state as a "resident" of the state. Res = thing, Ident = identified. A thing identified (no longer a man or woman). Forms an adhesion contract or agreement: The distinctive feature of an adhesion contract or agreement is that the weaker party has no realistic choice as to the terms. An example of an adhesion contract is when you voluntarily apply for and receive a driver license. Once the driver license has been issued, the licensee is legally bound by the vehicle code. You, the applicant have voluntarily converted your right to use the public roads (as a motorist) into a privileged activity (as a driver). The government cannot do anything for you or against you without your consent. Your consent is either given in writing, by what you say (verbal consent), or by your silence (acquiescence). In order to get any government privilege or benefit, you must fill out a form and provide false (or hearsay = "secondhand") information. [After a traffic stop, under court order, a driver] went to Department of Motor Vehicles and proceeded to fill out the required forms. He crossed out "First name", "M.I.", and "Last name" from the form, and wrote, "Given name" and "Surname" [British language]. Then he wrote his name in proper English (upper and lower case letters). What's your address?, asked the form, "general delivery", wrote the driver. Social Security number? None. Date of birth? Unknown. Are you a Florida resident? No. Are you a U.S. Citizen? No. The only address (Post) that you own is "general delivery" [picking up mail at a post office]. Even if you think that you have a social security account number, think again. The name on the card is not yours (all capital letters), and the number is not yours because you did not create it. You can honestly say before any court that you have never been issued a social security number in your name. Date of birth unknown: Were you conscious when you were born? How do you know (from first hand knowledge) the date on which you were born? How about an alleged Birth Certificate? Were you there when this document was created? Did you sign it? The fact is that your "date of birth" is nothing but "hearsay." Not a state resident: Resident of the State. Res = thing, Ident = identified ƒ a thing identified (no longer a man or woman). Not a U.S. citizen: The United States is defined as: District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Marinas Islands. The United States (a corporation) is not the same as the "United States of America" (the fifty states). Claiming to be a U.S. 'citizen' (voluntarily) makes you a corporate-political "citizen subject" and "person" under the 14th Amendment to the constitution of the United States of America. A clerk (clone) promptly told the driver that his application(s) had been denied. He called the supervisor over and explained his situation. "I have to get a driver license and registration. It's a court order." "We'd like to comply, but you are simply not eligible," the supervisor replied. "You are not a Florida resident and you have no social security number. We cannot issue you a license." The driver asked, "Will you write a short note to explain to the judge why I was denied?" The supervisor agreed and wrote a note. In America, a person with a name designated in all-capital letters is legally an "individual." The legal definition of individual is "United States Government employee" (5 USC 552a(a)(2)). A United States Government employee is a "citizen of the United States" and must be licensed for almost every activity under the sun. The "U.S." Government went into business as a for-profit, municipal corporation on February 21, 1871. It is interesting that the quarterly list of expatriates is now officially entered into the Federal Register (a "legal newspaper" according to its literature) by a non-U.S. Governmental agency: Internal Revenue Service. (IRS is nowhere to be found in the entirety of Title 5 U.S.C. In 27 Code of Federal Regulations Section 250.11 and therein you will find the definition of "Revenue agent" - "Any duly authorized Commonwealth Internal Revenue Agent of the Department of the Treasury of Puerto Rico." In 27 CFR 250.11 the definition of "Secretary" - "The Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico." [Departamento De Hacienda] That man is Manual Diaz Saldana. 27 C.F.R.section 250.11 defines: "Revenue Agent means any duly authorized Commonwealth Internal Revenue Agent of the Department of the Treasury of Puerto Rico." The IRS pays any judge who finds for them 1/3 of the money collected. Do you really think any judge is going to kill the golden calf? The same is true in "your" local courts. 1/3 of all fines levied by the local judges goes directly into their retirement fund.) IRS, a commercial business whose two greatest expenses are postage and rent (government agencies do not pay postage and rent), is an intelligence-gathering, accounting, and collection agency for the Federal Reserve, and is domiciled in Puerto Rico under the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico, a/k/a/ "Secretary of the Treasury"-who is also Governor of the World Bank and Governor of the International Monetary Fund (both of which are headquartered in Washington, D.C. - Sec. Treasury Paul O'Neil of ALCOA Inc. in Blount county, Tennessee, a billion-dollar/year cocaine import/transport hub for USA). (The "U.S." Government is but a bankrupt, front operation/agent for the private Federal Reserve Bank creditor.) All "statutes and codes" (colored law) are applicable to "residents" and "persons" only. That is, artificial entities. Public Law (real Law), is rooted in Holy scripture [of most any religion] and applies to men and women. The legal definition of "resident" was given earlier. The shocker comes when we define the word "person." According to statute and code, a "person" is defined as: corporation; franchise; an individual; (and sometimes) a human being (all artificial entities.) Balentine's Law Dictionary (1930): "'human being'. See 'monster'." "'monster' - A human-being by birth, but in some part resembling a lower animal. A monster, hath no inheritable blood, and cannot be heir to any land. The dangers of accepting and using the "fictional name" (name in all capital letters) given as a slave name. You are never allowed to enter a courtroom, as plaintiff or defendant, in "Propria Persona." Propria Persona (commonly known as Pro Per) simply means that you are entering the court as the "person in the subject matter." You (the Man) are not the "person in the subject matter." How can a fiction appear in the flesh? The cause of action is always against the fiction. All courts today (in the U.S.) are legal fictions (military courts against civilians) under the Emergency War Powers Act of March 9, 1933. The courts of today are no longer under the judicial branch of government. They are under the executive branch of government. This is evident by the "gold fringed" flag in every courtroom. A "gold fringed" flag is a military flag (See Title 4, USC 1). The flag serves as notice to all, that they are entering a military court. The courts can only prosecute another legal fiction, except in cases of Common Law crimes such as rape, murder, robbery, and other trespasses. The trick that the courts use to get you to voluntarily subject yourself to their jurisdiction is by sending out or serving "defective service", "defective warrants", "notices to appear" or similar official sounding papers. "Defective service, simply means that "due process" of Law is not being followed. They are, in all actuality, all invitations. Defected service (usually associated with victimless crimes) becomes perfected when one answers to the defective service, by voluntarily walking into their court, standing behind the bar, and entering into the "benefits of discussion" with the court. Simply by answering when you name is called is all that it takes. Military courts do not recognized positive Law. Attempting to introduce the Constitution or Holy Scriptures into one of these Admiralty courts, will swiftly result in being found in 'contempt of court.' This may be followed by jail time and/or fines. Due process is guaranteed under the Constitution for the United States of America. In order for "due process of Law" to take place, the court must do the following: (a) The "person in the subject matter" must be properly named. If you are a Man and not a legal fiction, this means that your name CANNOT, under any circumstances be spelled in all capital letters or contain initials. (b) The court must issue a summons for your appearance. That summons must be under official court seal and personally signed by the presiding judge (not a court clerk, or worse, with no signature which is common.) (c) To that summons, must be attached a sworn complaint of a "damaged victim" or "injured party." Without an injured party there can be no crime (tort, trespass.) Note: The State cannot claim to be an injured party. The State is a fiction and cannot be damaged. The sheriff must personally handle and serve the summons upon you. Note: A man's "slave" name written in all capital letters is known in closed circles as a 'nom de guerre', or, 'war name' as translated from its French origin. Each time someone shoves a piece of paper with your name written in all capital letters under your nose, whistles, bells, sirens, and alarms should go off. This paper should be rejected, followed by a firm request to spell your name correctly. Flags - Old Glory vs. New World Order (One World Government) To further spice the judiciary stew, Attorneys have carefully injected an undiscerning ingredient unwittingly ingested by the lay community. Donning the interior walls, or by flagpole, every "court" room this author has viewed displays the federal and State military gold fringed flags. The flag of the Republic is not displayed at all [the flag sold to the public without gold fringe]. The aforementioned poses an interesting paradox. The symbol displayed is the jurisdiction of the Court or the Tribunal. The military flags presented specify the jurisdiction as Admiralty (martial law), yet the hearing is proclaimed a Court of Law. Unbeknownst to most people, in Admiralty cases the Accused is not protected by unalienable Rights secured by the first ten Amendments, but civil/contractual rights granted under the fourteenth amendment as codified in the U.C.C. Civil/contractual rights are not concrete, but subject to the whims of the judiciary (Attorney judges), [so-called "judicial 'discretion'" or "discretion of the court"]. Economic Slavery - The judiciary has become a business rather than a Constitutional entity and the people have become goods. Attorneys are merchants of law Uniform Commercial Code ¤ 2-104(1) and anyone appearing with an Attorney or Pro se (as your own attorney) is a merchant and is liable in an action between merchants, U.C.C. ¤ 2-104(3). We are not warned that to dispute jurisdiction of the court or tribunal we would have to appear "In propria persona" (in one's own proper person), to wit: "...pleas to the jurisdiction of the court must be plead in propria persona, because if pleaded by attorney they admit the jurisdiction, as an attorney is an officer of the court, and he is presumed to plead after having obtained leave, which admits the jurisdiction." (Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition.) "Republic" vs. "Democracy" - By definition United States and the 50 foreign several States have two entirely different forms of government: a legislative democracy (51% rules 49%), and a republic (the rights of all are protected) under common law, respectively. Despite the obvious common-law foundation of a republican form of government, today's society is governed by statute5 , mistakenly identified as "law." The (obscure but) supreme statute of all statutes in existence, the Uniform Commercial Code, states at Section 1-103:6: "...A statute should be construed in harmony with the common law...The Code cannot be read to preclude a common law action." Statutes provide a means for government control, and also for creating the group of government-type agents known as "attorneys at law." This standing army of "esquires" (bar association members with a title of nobility officers in service of the Queen/King of England) is actually a foreign military unit with an advertised military objective ("mission statement"). Licensing and Liberty - In America, a person with a name designated in all-capital letters is legally an "individual." The legal definition of individual is "United States Government employee" (5 USC 552a(a)(2)). A United States Government employee is a "citizen of the United States" and must be licensed for almost every activity under the sun. Applying for and receiving a license of any type that is subsequently issued with an all-capital letters designation of the licensee's name, is tacit admission "United States" [corporate] citizenship [not personal citizenship in "United States of America"]. Some excerpts of the more obvious aspects of liberty that are forfeited upon acquisition of a license (also taken from the same definition of liberty in Black's 4th.): Personal Liberty: The right of power or locomotion; of changing one's situation or moving one's person to whatsoever place one's own inclination may direct, without imprisonment or restraint... (e.g. traveling privately on the public highways without a driver's license); Liberty of Contract: The ability at will to make or abstain from making, a binding obligation... (e.g. marrying and creating a family without the state intruding as an interested third party in the contract); Natural Liberty: The power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, unless by the law of nature (e.g. earning a livelihood in any chosen, lawful calling without a business/occupational license). CUSTOM ID CARDS - Never let there be any doubt that you are an 'American National' and NOT a U.S. citizen/resident subject. International Drivers Permit - Become a Permanent Tourist (PT.) Retain your Liberty of Movement without waiving any Rights, by overcoming the presumption that you are a U.S. or State resident. International Driver Permit CANNOT be assessed points, revoked or suspended. [Provided for educational purposes by Austin Gary Cooper and BBCOA.

MANDATORY READING! American Autobahn webmaster John Lee points out that within the borders of the United States of America, there exists over 550 "native American" nations, just like Italy contains the soverign nations of the Catholic Vatican and San Marino, France contains Monaco, and Britain contains the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands - all are "tax-free" tax-havens for the rich and infamous.]
Mr. Justice BUTLER (dissenting) - This means that, so far as concerns the rule of decision now condemned, the Judiciary Act of 1789, passed to establish judicial [304 U.S. 64, 87] courts to exert the judicial power of the United States, and especially section 34 of that act as construed, is unconstitutional; that federal courts are now bound to follow decisions of the courts of the state in which the controversies arise; and that Congress is powerless otherwise to ordain. It is hard to foresee the consequences of the radical change so made.... It extends to all matters of contracts and torts not positively governed by state enactments. Counsel searching for precedent and reasoning to disclose common-law principles on which to guide clients and conduct litigation are by this decision told that as to all of these questions the decisions of this Court and other federal courts are no longer anywhere authoritative.... So far as appears, no litigant has ever challenged the power of Congress to establish the rule as construed. It has so long endured that its destruction now without appropriate deliberation cannot be justified.... There is nothing in the opinion to suggest that consideration of any constitutional question is necessary to a decision of the case. By way of reasoning, it contains nothing that requires the conclusion reached. Admittedly, there is no authority to support that conclusion.
Dallas Business Journal, October 25, 1996 - "Here's some news that will knock a possum off a gum bush: If the "Republic of Texas" has its way, all of the state's lawyers will have to turn in their bar cards and seek new employment, form a guild or practice out of state. According to a release from the Republic of Texas -- a so-called body politic that formed last December with the goal of separating Texas from the Union -- "Judge" Timothy Perkins of the "Milam District Court in Tarrant County" has signed an order and writ of execution for the seizure of assets and discontinuance of operations of the State Bar of Texas. "We consider the de facto judges absolutely a fraud," Republic of Texas spokeswoman Jeanette Kinman said. "Our Milam district court is a court under common law." Kinman said the Republic of Texas is on a quest "to get our freedoms back. You can only push people so far. They have started to educate themselves and (are) reading constitutions." Perkins said since the State Bar of Texas is a member of the Lawyers' Guild of Great Britain, it has no business operating in Texas. "Members of the Bar hold special titles of honor above the rights of all Texian nationals," Perkins said in a news release. "This has prevented citizens from presenting their cases and having them heard before a jury of their peers, who should be allowed to determine the law and the facts of every case, according to the Texas Constitution."
"As further evidence, not that any is needed, a percentage of taxes that are paid are to enrich the king/queen of England. For those that study Title 26 you will recognize IMF, which means Individual Master File, all taxpayers have one. To read one you have to be able to break their codes using file 6209, which is about 467 pages. On your IMF you will find a blocking series, which tells you what type of tax you are paying. You will probably find a 300-399 blocking series, which 6209 says is reserved. You then look up the BMF 300-399, which is the Business Master File in 6209. You would have seen prior to 1991, this was U.S.-U.K. Tax Claims, non-refile DLN. Meaning everyone is considered a business and involved in commerce and you are being held liable for a tax via a treaty between the U.S. and the U.K., payable to the U.K.. The form that is supposed to be used for this is form 8288, FIRPTA - Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Account, you won't find many people using this form, just the 1040 form. The 8288 form can be found in the Law Enforcement Manual of the IRS, chapter 3. If you will check the OMB's paper - Office of Management and Budget, in the Department of Treasury, List of Active Information Collections, approved Under Paperwork Reduction Act, you will find this form under OMB number 1545-0902, which says U.S. withholding tax-return for dispositions by foreign persons of U.S. real property interests-statement of withholding on dispositions, by foreign persons, of U.S. Form #8288 #8288a. These codes have since been changed to read as follows; IMF 300-309, Barred Assessment, CP 55 generated valid for MFT-30, which is the code for 1040 form. IMF 310-399 reserved, the BMF 300-309 reads the same as IMF 300-309. BMF 390-399 reads U.S./U.K. Tax Treaty Claims. The long and short of it is nothing changed, the government just made it plainer, the 1040 is the payment of a foreign tax to the king/queen of England. We have been in financial servitude since the Treaty of 1783."
The language of the original Social Security Statute (Act of August 14, 1935, Chapter 531, 49 Stat. 620), explicitly stated that the money raised by this new income tax (yes the Social Security and Medicare Taxes are merely income taxes in disguise, with no deductions) go into the GENERAL FUND of the U.S. Treasury; Meaning that the United States governmnet can do whatever they please with that money. Please read this carefully: the corporation that resides in Washington, DC, simply let you apply to pay another income tax through the Social Security fraud. This also means that there never has been a Social Security Trust Fund. Again, simply more smoke and mirrors, and you have no vested interest in any retirement if you are depending upon Social Security. The corporation in Washington, DC, must apportion money to pay Social Security every year, and when they decide that it is no longer viable to pay the benefits, they can, and will, stop making the payments. Definition of "tribute" (tax) - Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th Ed.: "A contribution which is raised by a prince or sovereign from his subjects to sustain the expenses of the state. A sum of money paid by an inferior sovereign or state to a superior potentate, to secure the friendship or protection of the latter." You need to know and understand what contribution means in F. I C. A.--Federal Insurance Contribution Act. "Contribution" - Blacks Law Dictionary 6th ed.: "Right of one who has discharged a common liability to recover of another also liable, the aliquot portion which he ought to pay or bear. Under principle of "contribution," a tort-feasor against whom a judgment is rendered is entitled to recover proportional shares of judgment from other joint tort-feasor whose negligence contributed to the injury and who were also liable to the plaintiff (cite omitted). The share of a loss payable by an insurer when contracts with two or more insurers cover the same loss. The insurer's share of a loss under a coinsurance or similar provision. The sharing of a loss or payment among several. The act of any one or several of a number of co-debtors, co-sureties, etc., in reimbursing one of their number who has paid the whole debt or suffered the whole liability, each to the extent of his proportionate share." Thereby making you obligated for the national debt, under the law of contracts. The Social Security system is one of the contractual nexus' between you and the king. Because you are involved in the king's commerce and have asked voluntarily for his protection, you have accomplished the following: You have admitted that you are equally responsible for having caused the national debt and that you are a wrong doer, as defined by the above legal definition. You have admitted to being a Fourteenth Amendment citizen, who only has civil rights granted by the king. By being a Fourteenth Amendment citizen, you have agreed that you do not have standing in court to question the national debt, or the collection thereon. This is the real meaning of being a United States citizen.
(Reno, NV) - United States Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Stephen Breyer will join Tribal Appellate judges and distinguished faculty of The National Judicial College (NJC) for a discussion regarding the history and future of the relationship between the tribal judiciary and the federal courts on Friday, July 20 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. In conjunction with the National American Indian Tribal Court Judges Association (NAITCJA), the justices will be participating in a three-day program involving visits to tribal courts on two reservations, including the Spokane Reservation in Washington and the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona. Known as the Supreme Court Summer Tour of 2001, the program begins on July 18 and concludes on July 20 at The National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada. This tour marks the first time that tribal courts have opened their doors to U.S. Supreme Court Justices. It will involve discussions between tribal court judges and the Justices on matters of mutual interest relating to cultural and legal barriers, as well as access to justice and cross-jurisdictional adjudication. Presently, there are 562 federally recognized tribes in the United States [562 "Indian" Nations - what the 50 State Republics used to be before the 14th Amendment to Reconstruct USA to a British colony]. Federal recognition of tribes is based on treaties with the tribes who gave up land to the federal government in exchange for services provided by the government, Tribal law differs from tribe to tribe based on individual tribal norms and value systems based on tradition and custom. The basic common values supporting tribal law are established by religion and include respect, harmony and sharing. Because the foundation and functionality of tribal laws contrast with the legal basis of the U.S. justice systems, education and interaction are equally important in order to better understand and strengthen the relationship between the two entities.
July 12, 2001 - A state judicial board's fact-finding panel concluded in April that Los Angeles County Judge Patrick Murphy was not entitled to the 400 days sick leave he has taken since 1996 and that he was merely malingering while being paid $130,000 a year to be a judge. Murphy said he was plagued with various maladies, including a phobia for the job of judging, and that's why he had left the country and enrolled as a full-time medical student in Dominica while still on the courthouse payroll.
The end of the year 2000 saw our membership increase to sixty-one members from fourteen jurisdictions. Among our members are the Chief Justice of Guam's Supreme Court, two United States District Judges, a judge of the United States Tax Court, a chief tribal judge, a state's chief administrative law judge and two judges of state intermediate appellate courts. Fifty-eight of our members are from nine states, the District of Columbia and Guam; two from Canada, one from the United Kingdom. We are, truly, everywhere. More than half of our members come from two U.S. states – California and New York each contribute 16. Florida has seven, Illinois and Massachusetts each have four, Oregon has three, Missouri, Washington and the District of Columbia have two, and British Columbia, Guam, Minnesota, Saskatchewan and the United Kingdom each have one. Thirty-four are men, twenty-seven are women. We're still far from where we could be. There are more than 110 women and men on our mailing list. We know of many lesbian and gay judges who aren't members and we're regularly adding new names to the list, thanks to members and friends in the LGBT legal community. Continuing to increase our membership is an important goal as we try to raise our visibility in the general judicial and legal communities.

George Gordon's School of LawGeorge Gordon's School of Law is a private, pre-arranged, invitation-only school located in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks. This school has a number of classes that are aimed at one or both of the two goals of the school: enabling someone to competently represent him/herself in the civil court system, and teaching individuals the theory and practice of the Mosaic Law found in the Scriptures. George has not sought, nor would he accept, government accreditation or funding for this school; in fact, he has turned down offers of accreditation so that he can continue to teach things in his own fashion without government interference, as an individual. George, oftimes called the 'Godfather of the Common Law' by the media, has been teaching people over twenty years now, sixteen of them in Isabella, Missouri. He has had literally thousands of people come to a town so small that it doesn't show up on many maps. And you ask, "Why?" The reason is that his students succeed.

Truth in JusticeTruth in Justice is a non-profit organization working to free wholly innocent men and women convicted of crimes they did not commit, and to prevent wrongful convictions by educating the public regarding the vulnerabilities in the U. S. criminal justice system that make these miscarriages possible. When we say "wholly innocent," we mean a person who had absolutely no part in the crime charged. An innocent person is deprived of life, liberty and the opportunity to contribute to society, while the guilty party is free to commit more crimes against unsuspecting victims. In many instances, no crime was committed in the first place -- a suicide is charged as homicide, or an accidental fire is mistaken for arson. How does this happen? Faulty eye witness identification, tunnel vision investigators, over zealous prosecutors, junk science, compromised experts and a politicized judiciary are major factors, along with a credulous public.

You can start recording within 3 seconds of activating the system. No need to grab a video camera or other recording device, simply press two buttons and the recording automatically starts. Many police cars are equipped with this system. Why not you? The system is upgradable to color, improved audio and multiple cameras. Constitutional Law Allows Self Defense
US Constitution, 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (Click title link for annotations.) Every single American wants protection for themselves and their loved ones. Since it's a cliche that, "There's never a cop around when you need one," all governments allow lawful self defense, including the use of deadly force, if required. All governments also allow civilians to use deadly force against unlawful actions by police officers run amok, when required. These laws also apply to protection of personal property, provided the situation of "citizen arrest" results in "resisting citizen arrest" and "escalation of violence" turns into self defense. Most states allow civilians to carry concealed weapons "on their person" (which includes the interior of motor vehicles), usually after a background check and payment of an "expensive" license, perhaps with required completion of a handgun safety class. Such permits, however, fail to apply across the entire 50 states, and usually deny admittance to public areas such as courts, sporting events and restaurants that serve alcohol. Police love to confiscate firearms, both for resale and profit (perhaps to criminals) and for their "personal collections", so civilians need to know their state's laws and policies in regards to traffic stops and "search and seizure". The handgun law classes are good for all weapons, both hunting safety and home-invasion protection, since shooting someone accidentally or shooting a home invader in the wrong situation will result in criminal prosecution and/or civil litigation. A $100 class costs less than getting a $500 gun confiscated or hiring a competent lawyer for defense of murder charges can cost $100,000 or more (OJ Simpson spent over $3-million). It can also come in handy if you accidentally pick up a terrorist hitchhiker.

Vermont Project 2002 seeks to return self defense ot a right not a priviledge, as done for citizens living in state of Vermont. California Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc is winning legal battles to overturn municipal ordinances the strip Americans of their right to self defense, noting that politicians who oppose citizens defending themselves, like Diane Feinstein, are the same politicians who themselves have permits to carry concealed pistols and who hire bodyguards with our taxdollars. Note that a candidate for governor of Massechusettes is running on a platform of 100% Constitutional gun ownership and repeal of the state income tax: "Repealing every Anti-Gun Freedom Law on the books in Massachusetts will help make government small." (But is a "Libetarian" candidate which usually means a Republican trying to siphon progressive voters and is a puppet on 100% deregulation and unaccountability for multinational corporations.) CONSTITUTIONAL BUSINESS - Citizens' ArrestCitizens' Justice Programs - Not long ago the politically correct Boston Globe noticed a "shocking" new trend. It seems as if some citizens of Massachusetts were so fed up with crime that they have begun to intervene in petty street crime afflicting the streets of our cities. Thieves and pickpockets in Massachusetts should exercise caution in where and how they ply their craft as the chances that vigilantes pummel them and drag them to the nearest cop are definitely on an upswing. While the Globe is shocked at this healthy trend, students of the law should note that both a statutory and common law basis for a certain degree of "vigilante behavior" is well founded. Indeed, in an era of lawlessness it is important that readers be advised as to their lawful right to protect their communities, loved ones and themselves by making lawful citizens' arrests. The purpose of this essay is to simply explain the law and the historical context of the citizen's arrest. First, what is an arrest? We can thank Black's Law Dictionary for a good definition: "The apprehending or detaining of a person in order to be forthcoming to answer an alleged or suspected crime." See Ex parte Sherwood, (29 Tex. App. 334, 15 S.W. 812). Historically, in Anglo Saxon law in medieval England citizen's arrests were an important part of community law enforcement. Sheriffs encouraged and relied upon active participation by able bodied persons in the towns and villages of their jurisdiction. From this legacy originated the concept of the posse comitatus which is a part of the United States legal tradition as well as the English. In medieval England, the right of private persons to make arrests was virtually identical to the right of a sheriff and constable to do so.

It follows that the absence of crime, incidents and offenses is one sign that our service is being done effectively. Since crime prevention through visual deterrence is our primary objective, we strive for maximum visibility at all times. The purpose of being on a safety patrol is not to make citizen's arrests. Nevertheless, there are time when a thorough knowledge of citizen's arrest help us deal correctly with a situation on the street. The Guardian Angels have no special powers of arrest. We operate with the same set of privileges as every citizen in America. Making a citizen's arrest and detaining someone until the police arrive is the right of all Americans as well as the right of the people of many other countries. Making a citizen's arrest within the boundaries of the laws within your state or country does not make you a vigilante, it makes you an upstanding heroic citizen. A vigilante is someone who makes the decision over guilt or innocence and administers the punishment as well. Guardian Angels are not vigilantes. The decision over guilt or innocence can only be made by a Court of Law, which also has the power to decide the penalty for any crime committed. These decisions cannot be legally made by Guardian Angels, nor a by peace officer or a police officer. Our training in New York State is based on New York State Criminal Procedure Law section 140.30 which covers "Arrest without a Warrant; by any person when and where authorized," and New York State Criminal Procedure Law section 140.40 "Arrest without a Warrant; by person acting other than a police officer or a peace officer; procedure after arrest.

(b) Section 35.20 - Justification; Use of physical force in defense of premises and defense of a person in the course of a burglary. (c) Section 35.25 - Justification; Use of physical force to prevent or terminate larceny or criminal mischief. (d) Section 35.30 - Justification; Use of physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape. The Self Defense Files - Citizen's ArrestSIERRA TIMES - "Guns are only good for killing people." We've all heard that old song and dance from the gun-banners. But while they two-step around the truth, American citizens continue to use firearms to save themselves, to save others, and, in many cases, to assist law enforcement officials in capturing criminals. On September 30, 1999, Earl Phillips and four members of his family returned to their Waynesville, North Carolina home after having spent the evening at the county fair. Christopher Wayne Lippard and Charles Wesley Roache are alleged to have surprised the family and shotgunned them all. After the murders, the two took Phillips' car. It got stuck in the driveway, so they stole a pickup truck that belonged to one of the family members. The inept drivers quickly wrecked it, too. Having spent most of their adult lives in prison, their driving skills were so impaired that this was the third car they'd wrecked that day. Deciding to split up, Lippard hitchhiked to New Orleans where he was eventually captured after being profiled on America's Most Wanted. Lost in the avalanche of publicity about the case was the fact that Roache was collared by an armed citizen. [click title link for many more examples] Dear Yahoo! How do I make a citizen's arrest?We can tell you with full confidence that it is a very, very bad idea to try to drag someone down to the police station on your own. As the good Trooper Ness of the Illinois State Police says: "When you sign or make a complaint against someone for an infraction of the law, you are in affect 'arresting' them...I cannot recommend that you try and "arrest" someone by restraining them physically, as you may be subject to liability if you do that. Work within the system by filing your charge with a police department or States Attorney with jurisdiction." Needless to say, attempting to manhandle someone renders you vulnerable to all kinds of nasty lawsuits, in addition to physical harm. The police department in Arroye Grande, California, offers this helpful four-step guide to Making a Citizen's Arrest: 1. Notify police upon observing a crime. 2. Provide police with information to assist in identifying the violator. 3. Sign the complaint form. (After this, most cases are concluded without your further involvement.) 4. Appear in court when requested by the District Attorney's Office. The lesson? The telephone is mightier than the sword. [WARNING!

If you wish to make a citizen's arrest, this requires your signature on a private person's arrest form, which the officer will provide. The officer will then be able to take any necessary action. From the Incident through the System Legally: Knowledge Base of Legal ConceptsCalifornia State University and University of Wisconsin - A citizen's arrest is a formal arrest by a citizen has no official government authority to make such an arrest as an agent of the government. The California Penal Code gives any citizen the right to make a citizen's arrest of another citizen in three alternative situations: 1.A public offense was committed or attempted in the citizen's presence. 2.The person arrested has committed a felony, although not in the citizen's presence. 3.A felony has been in fact committed and the citizen has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested has committed it. Why do we need a statute like this? Why do we need a "citizen's arrest"? Well, as the crime rate goes up, it becomes more and more important that good citizens come to the aid of one another in distress. Without such a statute, only government agents, such as police, would have the authority to stop a felon in progress. By creating the "citizen's arrest" statute we give ordinary citizens the authority to hold another citizen without fear of being sued for false imprisonment. Without the statute, the citizen who interfered in criminal activity would risk such a lawsuit. Even with such a statute, the citizen still risks being sued if he/she is wrong on his assessment of the situation. Notice that the statute requires that the "public offense" be in the citizen's presence, or that the person arrested have committed a "felony," that is, a crime punishable by one year or more in state prison. Do you know which crimes are punishable by one or more years in state prison? Can you be absolutely sure the person you are arresting is the one who committed the offense? What if there were three people involved? Can you be sure which one is the one you should arrest? At the very least, a defense lawyer is going to argue that the requirements for citizen's arrest were not met and that the arrest, and any consequent seizure of contraband, were illegal. DESPITE SLAPP SUIT, GREENPEACE SERVES ARCO WITH CITIZEN'S ARRESTPRESS RELEASE 1997 - Greenpeace today served oil giant ARCO with a citizen's arrest for failure to comply with U.S. federal law. Citing violations of the National Environmental Policy Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, Greenpeace demanded the Coast Guard uphold the law and stop ARCO's unpermitted and illegal activities. The environmental organization insisted ARCO halt the towing of its giant drill platform to the waters of Camden Bay, just offshore from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Greenpeace took this action after its protest of the drill rig on August 13 resulted in ARCO and the State of Alaska joining forces to secure a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that limits the groups rights to free speech and non-violent protest. "A SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) doesn't mean the showdown is over," said Steve Sawyer, Arctic Expedition Leader onboard the Arctic Sunrise in the Beaufort Sea. "ARCO's illegal actions continue to threaten the fragile arctic ecosystem and the global climate. If agencies such as National Marine Fisheries Service and Minerals Management Service will not uphold the law and stop ARCO's illegal actions, then we are obliged to try to do it ourselves." In its sixth day of protest against ARCO's drill rig, the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise handed the citizen's arrest to the Coast Guard for delivery to the drill rig and Coast Guard Command. The Coast Guard is empowered to uphold federal law and can immediately halt ARCO's illegal activities. ARCO's activities are in violation of no less than six federal laws since it lacks the permits required to move its drill rig from the waters outside Prudhoe Bay 75 miles east to Camden Bay. The various federal agencies charged with enforcing the law are not doing so. Is Employer Liable for Guard's "Good Citizen" Arrest? - SECURITY FIRMS VICARIOUS LIABILITYSecurity Law Newsletter - Summary: An Oregon Appeals Court found a security company not liable for an assault by its employees. Facts: Lessaos, a security officer for a private security firm, had completed a site inspection of a client's home and was on his way to another assignment, when he saw a car being driven erratically. He followed the car (which was driven by a man called Miller) to a private driveway. Lessaos parked his car behind Miller's car to prevent him from leaving. Lessaos then identified himself as a private security officer. Lessaos did not allow Miller to get out of the car because he believed that Miller had been driving while intoxicated. Miller's wife said Lessaos was not a police officer, had no right on their property and asked him to either leave or to allow them to enter their house until the Salem police arrived. A fight resulted and Lessaos maced Miller and his family. Lessaos said he was acting as a "good citizen" in trying to arrest Miller and Lessaos' supervisor at the guard firm "chewed him out" over the incident. Making a Citizen's ArrestPRAIRIE LAW - Norm Thomson owns a 124-acre plot in South Kitsap, Washington. Although it's private property, not everyone respects that. In March 1999, he noticed a man wandering in his woods, cutting down greenery to sell. He decided to do something. He took his rifle from his house, headed out and stopped the trespasser in his tracks. Thomson then hog-tied the guy, put him in the back of his truck and delivered him to the Kitsap County Sheriff's office. "I've been working in law enforcement for 30 years and I've never had anyone make a citizen's arrest like that," says Sheriff Steve Boyer, who handled the case. Many people know the phrase "citizen's arrest," but few know exactly what it entails — and even fewer people know someone who's actually done it. It's common enough in the movies, of course. Eddie Murphy tackled an armed robber trying to hold up a fast-food restaurant in the 1988 movie "Coming to America". Not only did he make an arrest as a non-police officer, but he also impressed his soon-to-be girlfriend. It's also a good way to make a statement. Two protesters in Seattle served World Trade Organization delegates with citizen's arrest warrants for crimes against humanity in November 1999. The pair got attention — and then got arrested for obstructing a police officer [but refused to arrest bogus "anarchist" provacateurs employed by police to loot and pillage Seattle to provide an excuse to police to attack democratic dissenters of undemocratic WTO]. It does happen in real life, too, as Thomson proved. And everyone in this country — even non-citizens — has the legal right to do it. The specifics vary by state, but if someone witnesses a crime, that person can make an immediate arrest and use "reasonable" physical force to detain the suspect. "It happens, but not often," says Sergeant John Pasquairello from LAPD. "Most people don't want to come forward or get involved." Maybe it's a sad commentary on American society, but people often don't interfere for good reason: sometimes it's too dangerous. Pasquairello says if the crime's gang-related — even if it's just graffiti — no one wants his or her name associated with the arrest. And other times, getting involved means getting sued. Retail business owners know that better than anyone. The words "false arrest" or "unlawful search and seizure" can make storeowners break out in a cold sweat. In 1995, Kmart Corp. paid two women in Bessemer, Alabama four million for false arrest and malicious prosecution after a jury decided they were unfairly accused of shoplifting. In May 1998, a jury ordered Safeway to pay $750,000 to a Seattle woman falsely charged with shoplifting.... Besides having the right to make an arrest, people have the right to resist unlawful arrest in some circumstances — even if that means killing the arresting officer. The famous 1900 Supreme Court case of John Bad Elk vs. United States remains law today. John Bad Elk, a police officer, killed another police officer, John Kills Back, who tried to arrest him on an Indian reservation in South Dakota. At first, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. However, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which ruled that a person has a right to resist an unlawful arrest with any force and means necessary. Since John Kills Back was ordered to arrest John Bad Elk without a reason or charge against him, John Bad Elk said he shot the other officer in self-defense after he saw John Kills Back reach for his revolver. It's also legal to resist arrest if a warrant for the arrest is not technically valid or if it isn't issued by affidavit, a sworn statement made in front of an officer or judge.

"It appeared that they were intoxicated," said victim Steven Bartlett. The incident began at 3:30 a.m. near the intersection of Seventh Street and Eighth Avenue Southeast and ended several blocks away, when Minneapolis police intervened. Bartlett was talking on his cell phone outside his truck when the five men approached him and began swearing, according to the police report. After Bartlett told them to keep walking, several of the assailants allegedly began punching him. The suspects were in their early 20s. Bartlett told police the suspects chased him on foot to 10th and University avenues southeast, where a police officer took notice of the group. One suspect reportedly threatened the officer after the officer shined a flashlight on him. According to the police report, the group said they had come from a party and shouted several expletives at the officers. The officer said he pushed the suspect into the squad car after he refused to get in. Another squad car stopped the other men, whom Bartlett identified as his attackers. All were arrested by citizen's arrest and taken to the Hennepin County jail. Persons may file a citizen's arrest following a misdemeanor crime that was not committed in the presence of -- or witnessed by -- a police officer, said Minneapolis police spokeswoman Cindy Montgomery. Threatening an officer constitutes disorderly conduct. "It is a crime, but arresting for it is up to the discretion of the officer," said Lt. Otto Wagenpfeil of the Second Precinct.

"Cop Talk" column by self-defense guru Mossad Ayoob (Jan/Feb 2002): Charge… To The Rear! "Backing away from the threat as you fire is popular, because it can be safely taught with multiple officers on a standard "square range." But, ask yourself: Does backing up at "human speed" make you that much smaller a target? Does retreating compensate for the degradation of your own life-saving marksmanship that occurs whenever the firing platform that is your body is moving instead of standing still? Many career firearms instructors believe it's easier for a standing man to hit a moving target than for a moving man to hit a standing one. This can put us behind the curve again. Moving laterally as you draw and return fire makes a lot more sense, and this seems to be the best of the conventional solutions. I don't find it any harder to shoot to 12 o'clock while my body is moving to 3 or 9 o'clock, than to shoot in the same direction while backing away toward 6 o'clock. However, with your lateral movement, your opponent has to change his own posture, and this will significantly interfere with his ability to shoot you while you are shooting him. Going To War - The majority of cops who are shot to death in the line of duty are killed within less than 7 yards. Most of those are killed within 3 yards.

Tactical Advantage: Gunfighting And Performance Anxiety "Does competition shooting help you to be a better tactical shooter? Does it help your chances of survival in a self-defense situation? Or does the gaminess make your more likely to fail? Depending on to whom you listen, competition can be the best endeavor in which any serious pistol handler can engage. The key issue of shooting competition is the ability to handle stress.... We know that under life-threatening stress, the heart rate will increase, fine motor skills will deteriorate and you will suffer from tunnel vision. As those who can remember their first IPSC or IDPA match can attest, trigger control often falls apart, looking at the sights becomes the last thing you do and simple tasks like unloading your pistol at the end of the stage are more difficult because your hands are shaking. And nobody is shooting at you!... Anytime you have to prove yourself in anything that relates to your self-image, stress will result. Performance anxiety is present with all of us.

Authorities said the incident appeared to be an attempted mugging. Retired NYPD Officer Luke Blake was about to get into his car at the corner of Port Richmond and Castleton avenues on Staten Island at about 4 a.m. when he spotted two men walking toward him - one of them carrying a large kitchen knife. Blake told cops he stepped away from his car and started backing away from the pair, noticing a group of four men nearby as he did so. He pulled out a licensed 9mm handgun and told Ricardo Carlon, 24, several times to drop the weapon, investigators said. The man yelled in Spanish and kept walking toward him, the ex-cop said. Blake did not understand what Carlon had said. As Blake backed away, he started to trip and fall backward, then fired three times, hitting Carlon at least twice. Carlon died at St. Vincents Hospital on Staten Island at 4:44 a.m. "I was scared," Blake told cops. "He feared for his life," said one investigator. Five men with Carlon were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration because they allegedly refused to cooperate with police. Police said Carlon had been carrying a kitchen knife with a 9-inch blade. Blake was not charged. "There's nothing at this point to indicate that it was an improper shooting," said NYPD spokesman Bernard Gifford. Cops said that just before the incident, Blake had been with friends at the room they rent for motorcycle-club meetings. Carlon's parents "were waiting for him to come to Mexico to get married [next month]," Calero said. "But now they're bringing him back dead." Blake, 38, retired from the NYPD with a job-related disability in June 1999. Los Angeles Municipal Corporation pays $200-Million settlement for LAPD's Racketeering and Organized CrimeLOS ANGELES (AP) - The city's police department can be sued under federal racketeering laws by people who claim corrupt officers from the Rampart station violated their civil rights, a federal judge has ruled. [Do a search for LAPD's official "Rampart Area Corruption Incident" report.] The ruling, reported in Tuesday's Los Angeles Times, could make the Los Angeles Police Department the first in the nation to be sued as a racketeering enterprise. The move also could increase the city's estimated liability of $100 million for police corruption cases, since the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act allows damages to be tripled. Update: In Los Angeles in 2001, the city corporation paid $200-millions in RICO lawsuits against LAPD for false arrests, $700,000 bank robbery, $1-million crack cocaine theft, crack cocaine dealing and murders committed by dozens of cops. The city government anticipates coughing up the full $100-millions in damages for its crimes. RICO has a 10-year statute of limitations. (Hence FOX TV's propaganda show "justifying" a lawless LAPD, with its COPS show, "Rampart".) Anti-LAPD plaintiff's class-action attorney Stephen Yagman—the government's special prosecutor of the FBI agents charged with first-degree murder at Ruby Ridge—enthused: ``This is one of the best days of my life. We'll go forward like gangbusters on this. We intend to get it certified as a class action to include thousands of plaintiffs.'' Prosecutor Seeks Death Penalty For Alleged Drunk DriverA Winston-Salem, North Carolina jury has, for the first time, been permitted by a court to find a drunk driver guilty of first-degree murder. Even though the prosecutor sought the death penalty, the jury sentenced him to two life terms in prison without parole, to be served concurrently. Thomas Richard Jones, while allegedly under the influence of alcohol, prescription painkillers, and a prescription antidepressant, crashed his vehicle into a car carrying six sorority sisters from Wake Forest University, killing two of them (Kevin Sack, "Jury Holds a Drunken Driver's Life in the Balance," New York Times, May 6, 1997, p. A1; Kevin Sack, "No Death Sentence for Drunken Driver in Student Killings," New York Times, May 7, 1997, p. A1; Karl Vick, "Intoxicated N.C. Driver Handed Life Sentence," Washington Post, May 7, 1997, p. A9). Assistant District Attorney Vincent F. Rabil, who works under District Attorney Tom Keith, sought the death penalty in the case, citing aggravating factors which included Mr. Jones's use of his car as a "weapon of mass destruction" and his pursuit of a "violent course of conduct." The Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, argued the death penalty was inappropriate for the case. Mr. Jones had two previous convictions for driving while intoxicated, with a third pending. At the time of the accident his blood alcohol level was not over the legal limit, but his intoxicated state was allegedly enhanced by other drugs. On the day of the killings, he had consumed four beers (spread out over 24 hours), antidepressant Xanax® (which reduces the antidepressant "high" from alcohol), Fioricet®, and Percocet®. Jones's conviction of first-degree murder for a drunk driving killing also set legal precedent. Prosecutors held that Jones could be convicted of first-degree murder without it having been proven that he had an intent to kill. Instead, they had only to prove that he had been acting out of "culpable negligence," shown by his history of mixing alcohol with drugs and driving. Jones says he uses the drugs to ease the pain he suffers from a partially amputated leg. [No criminal prosecution was made of manufacturers of defective vehicles, government employees for dangerous highways or lack of driver training, or doctors and retailers of alcohol under DRAM SHOP doctrine.

Denied routine medical care for nine months then denied emergency medical care while dying of diabetic coma. "Diabetic Ketoacidosis" ("insulin shock", "hyperglycemia" or "diabetic coma" even when appearing awake) routinely tests false positive, in this case 0.40% blood alcohol level, caused by 0.11% acetone [produced in diabetes when fat is burned for energy] which is alleged "coma" or "death" level. Dead bodies and vials of blood also "ferment" into alcohol from normal levels of yeast in the body, exactly like yeast ferments into wine or rotten fruit. Hundreds of chemicals or medical conditions routinely give a false positive, since so-called "blood-alcohol" tests only test for blood, not alcohol.

FIELD SOBRIETY TESTING (SFST) PROGRAMOur government's VOLUNTARY "Failure-Designed" FST Tests, that over 50% of stone-cold sober cops cannot pass, according to the NHTSA: The standard that all of these tests must adhere to is that the average sober person must be able to perform them successfully. This standard creates an objective test rather than a subjective test. Without having met this standard the test will lose all or some of its validity. The most reliable psychophysical tests are referred to as Divided Attention tests (asking to find a driver's license while asking other questions at the same time) which require evaluation of the subject's appearance and condition, ability to follow instructions, as well as balance and coordination. These types of tests are called Divided Attention tests since they require the subject to concentrate on more than one thing at a time. They divide the subject's attention between mental and physical tasks. Since the mid 1970's, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), with the cooperation and assistance of the law enforcement community, has conducted research that resulted in the development of a battery of three standardized field sobriety tests (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk and Turn, and the One Leg Stand) to assist police officers in making DWI arrest decisions. These tests, formerly referred to as Improved Sobriety Tests, are now the Standard that the Federal Government sanctions and police officers are trained in these tests nationwide. Parking PalTHE LARGEST CATEGORY OF VEHICLE FORFEITURES IN USA - The New York City Motorists' Parking Survival Guide and line of parking survival products, but good for any city or town with a parking ticket fetish. "Why is it $30 to park in a Greenwich Village parking lot for one day? That's pro-rated at $900 per month (+ income tax), about $12,000 every year, about $120,000 every decade, and you're not even driving the damn thing! In 1997, New York City issued over 8.9-million parking tickets and the Parking Violations Bureau collected over $356-million in parking fines (plus towing and 100,000s of vehicle forfeitures), making it #1 in USA (Los Angeles was second with $83-million in fines collected). New York Newsday ran a front page story entitled "$19-million in parking ticket refunds, PVB looks for overpayers" (4/18/94). On December 8, 1996, both the NY Post and WCBS News Radio 88 reported that ticket quotas do indeed exist in NY Police Department, with minimum monthly quota for 18 parking tickets, 8 traffic tickets, 2 red-light tickets, and 1/2 'quality of life' summons. If you accumulate over $230 in unpaid parking tickets (+ interest), it's open season for towing your car. Once towed ($150 + $15/day), it will be sold at auction within 30 days unless all parking tickets are paid - NYPD VEHICLE AUCTIONS. If the sale of the car does not cover your 'debt' to the City, then all future cars was also be towed and sold. NY City's transportation commissioner, Christopher Lynn said in an article in the Park Slope Paper (9/20/96), 'If you can afford to have a car, you can afford to pay for parking. or residents should sell their cars and take public transportation instead.' This is still America! Nobody is going to tell me to sell my car and take public tranport instead. I would take picture of the empty poles (missing signs) or broken parking meters. More often than not, I would have my summons dismissed. As a paralegal researcher, I uncovered the laws that entitled me to park legally and how to correctly present evidence in court (otherwise a judge can technically ignore it). Especially beware 'Street Cleaning Regulations' and 'Alternate Side Parking' signs (or lack of)." [Webmaster note - Nowhere in this book does the author mention that all parking tickets are unconstitutional in the first place because (1) no "Service of Process" of Complaint and Notice of Summons, neither by mail nor in-person, which violates the Due Process clause of the US & NY Constitutions and probably NY state statutes and NY City ordinances and ALL courts order this MANDATORY in ALL lawsuits; and (2) when City employees get free parking, such as judges, then requiring everyone else to pay violates the Equal Protection clause of the US & NY Constitutions. Plus NYC mayor Rudolph Giuliani was Mafia born and bred (father in prison for armed robbery, and uncle who runs NY larges car-theft ring, and another uncle gunned down by FBI) which controls the parking meter collections (NOT the NYPD or City), parking lots, towing services and the car-theft industry. Nor does the author cover appeals to real courts nor class action counterclaims representing thousands of such victims that have been successfully won all over the USA. See Complete Smarties' Guide to Winning in Parking Court below.] FBI's Joint Terrorism Task ForceFBI Flyer to US law enforcement agencies, October 2001 (no mention of Islamic Fundamentalists, CIA agents or Pentagon special forces) [ front I back ]: "The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is attempting to identify criminal activities with domestic terrorists. Dometic terrorism is defined as: Groups or individuals operating entirely inside the US, attempting to influence the US government or population to affect political or social change by engaging in criminal activity. If you encounter any of the following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.) Act of 2001"Here It Is: A Wish List Granted That Would Make Adolph Hitler Proud. From Warrantless Secret Searches to Defining Any Criminal Activity as Terrorism [such as a ticket for "speeding" or (jay)walking], Our Constitutional Republic Was Gutted on Friday, October 26. H.R.3162 'Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.) Act of 2001. SEC. 802. DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM. THE TERM `DOMESTIC TERRORISM' MEANS ACTIVITIES THAT -- `(A) INVOLVE ACTS DANGEROUS TO HUMAN LIFE THAT ARE A VIOLATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE. SEC. 224: THE SECRET WARANTLESS SEARCHES AND OTHER POLICE STATE MEASURES IN THE BILL ARE NOT SUNSETTED." Beyond bookburning: FBI in Libraries and Bookstores - Reading is now a "terrorist" actVILLAGE VOICE, FEB 14, 2002 - "The definition of terrorism in the USA Patriot Act is so broad and vague that any number of American readers may be caught in this additional Ashcroft dragnet. For example: You commit "the crime of domestic terrorism if [any of your acts] appear to be intended to . . . influence the policy of a government by intimidation." Such 'acts' could be based on what you read in a book. This threat was described in a November 1 letter to booksellers across the country by Chris Finan, president of the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression. [Under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act] the director of the FBI may seek an order 'for any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine activities.' "The request for such an order is to be made to a judge who sits in a special court that is sometimes called the 'spy court.' This is the secret court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). On its bench sit federal judges selected by the chief justice of the Supreme Court; they receive requests for subpoenas and warrants from federal agents engaged in investigating terrorism. In the 24 years since this court began functioning, hardly any request for a subpoena has been denied. I confirmed this during a recent debate in Washington with Viet Dinh, John Ashcroft's chief legal adviser in the Justice Department. Chris Finan's letter to the country's booksellers continues: 'The judge makes his decision 'ex parte,' meaning there is no opportunity for you or your lawyer to object in court. You cannot object publicly, either. The new law includes a gag order that prevents you from disclosing 'to any other person' the fact that you have received an order to produce documents.' And this is the United States of America, John Ashcroft, attorney general—not the People's Republic of China?" PENTAGON RELEASES RULES ON TRIBUNALSABA JOURNAL, MARCH 26, 2002 - Lawyers groups and civil libertarians lambasted the executive order for being overly broad and for failing to adopt due-process rights associated with America's court system. The rules seem to have taken many of those fears into account. At the same time, they retain the qualities the Bush administration says are needed to conduct swift trials outside the United States to protect witnesses, citizens and military operations. Pentagon officials summarized the new rules at a press briefing Thursday. Hot-button issues that appear to be resolved include affording defendants the presumption of innocence and allowing them to choose private counsel. Trials also would be open to the public at the discretion of the military officer in charge, although they would be closed if classified information were presented. And though only a majority would be needed to convict, a full panel would have to agree in order to impose the death penalty. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that in drafting the rules, he learned from critics and outside sources. Rumsfeld also acknowledged that while there will be no comment period on the final rules, "We also have the ability to amend [the procedures] if there is something we haven't thought of." The ABA had asked for a two-week comment period once the DOD released the rules. But the department informed Hirshon by letter this week that there would be none. The rules are known as Military Commission Order No. 1. ABA task force member John S. Cooke, a former brigadier general, says the Department of Defense's procedures seem pretty consistent with those recommended by the task force, though they may fall a bit short of the ABA House of Delegates' February resolution calling for full adoption of court-martial procedures. Cooke and Clifford are particularly interested in studying the rule that prohibits appeals to civilian courts, but allows for review by an independent tribunal of military and possibly civilian legal experts. The task force also, as the Department of Defense rule reflects, took into account the possible need to use hearsay evidence not normally allowed in civilian courts. "It's a question of how far they will go with that," says Cooke, who doesn't necessarily consider the use of hearsay evidence as a negative. "The real proof is going to be if and when they hold one of these things," Cooke says. United Nations Criminal Court discussion at Council of Foreign Relations in New York City (March 6, 2002)JOHN W. VESSEY: My job is to introduce the speaker for this evening. Our speaker was born in Ghana in 1938 [where Reverend Jim Jones congregation of 900 Americans were either shot in the head or genocided with a "Tesla Death Ray" weapon, then alleged to have committed suicide with cyanide-spiked cool-aid (bodies were NOT contorted in muscle cramps like cyanide victims at NAZI death camps), then a US Congressman was shot trying to enter the camp]. He undertook undergraduate studies in Ghana and he completed them, we Minnesotans proudly say, at one of our wonderful schools in Minnesota, McCallister College in St. Paul. "This site is the primary NGO [Non Governmental Organizations - unelected undemocratic Corporations] provider of online information about the future International Criminal Court. The International Criminal Court (ICC) will be a permanent court for trying individuals accused of committing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC will be formally established after 60 countries have ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This Thursday, April 11th, the United Nations will host a special treaty event marking the simultaneous deposit of a number of the ratification instruments of the Rome Statute of the ICC, thereby offsetting the treaty's entry into force on July 1 of this year. Current funding for the Coalition for an International Criminal Court is being provided by the Ford Foundation; the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; the Open Society Institute; the European Union; the governments of Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland; and from individual donors and participating NGOs. Long-term and/or previous funding for the CICC has been received from Italy, the Paul and Daisy Soros Foundation, and others." |

Hardball litigation tactics. Parking tickets are big business—New York City profits by $350-million every year, not counting tens of thousands of impoundments and forfeitures. Washington DC seized 12,000 automobiles for alleged parking violations—in the owners own driveways, which is common in most larger cities that ticket residents $500/day for EVERY day plus 30 days in jail for EVERY day their car allegedly won't start. In 2002, US Congress is about to make this insane parking law apply to EVERY city, county and state.

QUESTION: "Does the current government emphasis on waging a drunk-driving and a 'drink-driving' war divert attention from the real causes of injury and death, such as uncrashworthy vehicles?"
RALPH NADER ON DRUNK DRIVING: "Well, if the emphasis is on the driver and not the vehicle, and that's a fight we've been having for years, they shouldn't be against one another, they should be both, a focus on both." [from an interview with the webmaster]
"That's not an impairment level, it's an arbitrary arrest level. We're going to have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of innocent people going to jail with no improvement in highway safety. What's even more amazing is the deafening silence that followed these anti-alcohol efforts. Each easy incremental victory – no matter how modest – emboldens these modern-day Prohibitionists to adopt new restrictions on consumption."
—American Beverage Institute, 1999
Tennessee Driver License Handbook and Study Guide, 2001: "Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of .00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'". American Beverage Institute, 1999: "That's not an impairment level, it's an arbitrary arrest level. We're going to have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of innocent people going to jail with no improvement in highway safety. What's even more amazing is the deafening silence that followed these anti-alcohol efforts. Each easy incremental victory—no matter how modest—emboldens these modern-day Prohibitionists to adopt new restrictions on consumption."

It's the 535 members of your United States Congress. The same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line. By claiming "Constitutional immunity" our political overseers avoid criminal prosecution for all traffic crimes.

You are welcome to make a financial contribution to asist us in providing this information to the public. News and Public Relations - We publish dozens of websites, appear on TV and radio shows, conduct investigative research, write newspaper and magazine articles, perform public relations and conduct political lobbying for your civil right to freedom (thus we must refuse to seek §501 "charity/welfare" status). Due to the popularity of this information, our websites are all crashing from lack of bandwidth. When one link is shut down, please click on another link until the first one is back on line (usually within one hour). We are expanding as fast as we can. Constitutional Prosecutions - We are also prosecuting several class-action lawsuits against "Mob Rule" and Fraud, Waste & Abuse by Skull-&-Bones/CIA politicians, their CIA-contracted police that profit from illegal quotas and car-theft scams, and their Mafia-connected contractors that operate a world-wide $40-Billion/year cartel for toxic landfills and nuke-incinerators, garbage-trucking, tow-trucking and car theft, and fighting their $80-Million/year Nightmare Team of trial lawyers from "The Firm" operated by Bush's ambassador to Japan, Howard Baker, former White House chief of staff during Iran-Contra's narcotics trafficing and Watergate Committee damage-control as a US senator. We have also been fighting one of the world's-largest multinational corporations to save the rights of all Americans to get a jury trial instead of nonconsentual "arbitration" ("corporate court"), where the corporation pays its own "judge" $600/hour, plus expenses, to make an "impartial" ruling—$35,000 for our 6-day "trial" - now in federal appeals court after five years. We also assist honest police and prosecutors by investigating predatory crimes pro bono - especially when traditional tactics are stalled in the bureaucracy - including cases of government corruption and homicide. Obviously we face routine reprisals for these actions, such a death threats, assaults, thefts, "black-listings", harassments and other subversions. (But then again, our enemies routinely do these things to millions of Americans - and worse crimes.) Self-help Legal Defense - Please download our websites to your computer in case we are eliminated from broadcasting by whatever method, so that you may use this legal information for your own protection (per 17 USC §107, all other rights reserved). Discover your laws and spectate at free trials in the real-world instead of watching propaganda cop-court shows on the idiot box. We have no Constitutional rights unless we stand up for ourselves and demand them. The law says it's not "rape" unless a victim yells "Rape!" and fights to the death. The right to lawful self-defense is useless unless a person is willing to fight. 99% of all litigation is fraudulently filed by governmental corporations to bluff the poor and uneducated to "voluntarily" sacrifice their rights and property. Knowledge is Power. Inaction and action without knowledge can become suicide. Self-help News - Copy and distribute this information by email and hardcopies to all friends, family and associates, since we face many hurdles of censorship and are denied listings in many search engines. Be careful where you spend (invest) your hard-earned money. Hollywood fantasies can't hold a candle to the action and adventure of investigative journalism. Please invest your time and money with honest Americans who report uncensored news rather than with multinational corporations who lie, cheat and kill without any allegiance to the United States of America. Beware bait-and-switch tricks that devide-and-conquer. We must team together as Americans against those who work to pit us against ourselves. Our websites include thousands of links to honest news you can use, regardless of so-called "political" labels. Virtually every established organization is infiltrated, subverted and perverted, so we seek out true grassroots-news sources and the gold needles in the haystack of traditional infotainment.
