Thoughts on the so-called "Saddam Heussein" and an "unauthorized" bootleg video of his death
Personally, I think it was a body double of Saddam Heussein that stood trial and was hung by the neck. The man's teeth are a dead giveaway; he has the teeth of a peasant, not the regal overbite that's seen in pictures of the real Saddam. Saddam's wife even said that the man in jail is not really her husband, and she should know.

The wisdom of Michael Tsarion
''The enemy that we face, and which has haunted our world for millennia, will not concede of its own will. It will not yield, or even give ground. It is in fear, but has combined its fear with occult knowledge and this combination makes it lethal in the extreme. It seeks to humiliate the good, the pure and the true. It is the enemy of truth, and of freedom. It cannot triumph, since the Force it vainly opposes is eternal and self-sustaining. The problem of evil is, however, not solved with a clenched fist, but with an open, receptive and mutable mind. These characteristics are represented by the Archangel Michael and his mighty sword, by Arthur’s Excalibur, by Robin’s flaming arrows, and by Merlin’s serpent wand.
We overcome the direst enemies with knowledge, not might. We seek revelation to prevent revolution, and overcome evil with the force of our example not by the example of our force, by psychological weaponry, and by total conviction in our cause and sovereign power. As said above, we understand lucidly that freedom is never free and that silence is most definitely consent. Whether we are joined by others, or not, we proceed on our quest with vehemence. There is the fairest of damsels to be saved, and a Serpent’s blood to redden our shields – that is all!''

Gold Action for 12-28-2006
Gold remained in its up trend and broke fibonacci resistance at 631.41. Looks as if everything is still on track for a major U.S. Dollar Drop / Gold run-up at the beginning of the new year.
An Example Of What Can Happen In 2007-2008
from Jim Sinclair's Mine Set - JSMineSet.com
Jim Sinclair's Comment:
This is an example of what can happen as we move into 2007 and 2008. Geopolitics of war and energy, slower US economics, the downward drift of the US dollar and the final break of the US dollar among other causes will take gold to a new all time high.
All things precious and gold will follow. International demand from new economies will continue demand for industrial metals and materials as certain REE continue to be in short supply with fixed and growing demand.
The article below says it all and is again posted as occasional readers need to know this.
I am getting many questions on the implication of slowing business conditions on gold. That is fully answered in the FORMULA so this is also posted.
"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President [Wilson} signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized....the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."

Global systemic crisis in 2007 - Financial sector: «Another bubble » close to bursting
Written by LEAP/E2020
Monday, 18 December 2006
“With their decision to put an end to the publication of M3 and other indicators designed to measure the evolution of Dollar ownership worldwide, the US authorities initiated a policy of « hidden monetisation » of the US debt. The Bush administration's incapacity to handle the various deficits (budget, trade) and the related debt will result in a monetary creation of unequalled proportion, leading to a dilution of the American debt in an ocean of Dollars. The process has in fact already started: during the first three and a half months of the US fiscal year (beginning in October), the Federal Reserve has increased by 320 billion USD its stock of currency, that is 5 times more than it did over the same period last year”, source GEAB N°2, 16/02/2006
COMMUNIQUE - Finance is one of the four sectors identified by LEAP/E2020 in the December issue of their confidential letter (the GlobalEurope Anticipation Bulletin N°10) as likely to be severely affected by the development of the global systemic crisis in 2007 (1). The other three sectors are: international trade, exchange rates, and energy.
A large number of events - whose importance began to appear clearly at the end of 2006 - is about to thrust the world's financial sector into a process of deep crisis: depreciation of US dollar-denominated assets, monetisation of US debt, fast degradation of US banks' and of some EU banks' balance-sheets, low level of banks' reserves, fast depreciation of housing loans (2) and recession of the US economy.
For example, the value of US dollar-denominated assets worldwide (3) compared to the composite basket of currencies of the US main trade partners, decreased by USD 2,000 billion only because of the US currency's loss in value. Another example, because of the same devaluation, the US debt fell by more than the US trade deficit's worth (forecast: USD 750 billion) or than the balance of payment deficit's worth (forecast: USD 900 billion) (4).

The monetisation of the US debt (anticipated in February 2006 by LEAP/E2020 (5)) directly affects the balance sheets of the big international financial players, with some effects that should become more obvious in 2007.
In the United States, a growing number of financial institutions is beginning to announce that the bursting of the real-estate bubble and the increasing amount of default on housing loan repayments has started to impact on banks' (6) and loaning institutions' results. For instance, due to the market's fast degradation, the US government non longer even tries to look into Fanny Mae's and Freddy Mac's accounts, the two giant quasi-government financial institutions who together weigh more than half of the US mortgage market (7). Thus Fanny Mae has not presented any quarterly or yearly report since 2004 and must ask for an exemption in order to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange (8) and continue to increase its market share. Less than a month ago, Kevin M. Warsh, governor of the New York Federal Reserve, warned against risks of systemic crisis for the US loan mortgage market due to Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac accounting practices (9). Those risks are likely to cross US boarders since foreign investors, namely Asian, who walked away from US Treasury Bonds, have started a few months ago to buy Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac stocks.
Moreover, for many years, the US authorities have allowed banks to diminish drastically their asset reserves while making massive bets on the derivatives market where the risks are high. The chart below shows how those Wall Street's giants (such as JPMorgan/Chase or CityBank or Bank of America, who were on top of all financial news in the past months), with counterparties close to none, are in fact doomed to bankruptcy in case a big crisis occurs. This provides a rather eloquent image of the frailty of the hedging sector banks invested in so massively.

Tool timed last four songs of Lateralus to 2001: A Space Odyssey
If you'll watch the following video, you may agree that Tool intentionally timed the music for the last four tracks of Lateralus to the last segment of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Here is the video: Tool & 2001: A Space Odyssey
Having watched it several times already, here's what I noticed (click on the time to go directly to that point in the video):
- When playing the last segment of 2001 (starting from the spot where it says "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite"), in combination with the last four tracks on the album Lateralus (Disposition, Reflection,Triad and Faap de Oiad), they begin and end at PRECISELY the same time.
- 01:14 - The introduction of the tabla drum, in Disposition, coincides very closely with the rotating monolith. The objects on the screen also start moving down instead of up at this point.
- 02:55 - The guitar transitions into a new melody as the sun is fades in , as the sun fades out this melody transitions to a different one. The melody fades out precisely as the star leaves the right-hand side of the screen with the flash of the corona.
- 04:11 - As the camera zooms into the ship the music transitions to Reflection.
- 04:50 - When Reflection transitions into the drum-intensive part, the man Dave begins to travel through the trippy lights. This is where the music really gets intensely coordinated with the film.
- 09:00 - the guitar's transition to a new melody begins exactly as the camera changes shots.
- 11:18 - When Maynard begins singing about the source of the reflection, the scene shifts to Mars and begins to zoom into the planet.
- 13:45 - When Maynard begins singing about ego-loss (crucify the ego before its far too late...), the camera begins to ascend up a mountain.
- 15:00 - Reflection ends in the bedroom where the astronaut (Dave) sees himself at several stages in his life.
- 16:00 - As reflection fades out (and Triad begins), the movie scene transitions to the scene where Dave is walking around in a red suit. As Dave walks closer to the point where he sees himself in the mirror the music crescendos.
- 20:10 - A musical transition occurs as Dave sets his wine chalace down onto the table.
- 20:22 - A musical transition occurs as Dave knocks the wine chalace onto the floor.
- 20:40 - When Dave looks up and begins to notice himself as an old man laying in bed the music begins to intensify.
- 21:17 - The music climaxes as the bed-ridden Dave starts reaching up to point at the monolith.
- 22:20 - As the music de-crescendos the film zooms into the monolith.
There are many things that I noticed which I cannot describe very well; my intuition tells me that there is something to this. The first couple of times that I watched it, I began to realize the connections and I noticed chills running along my spine.
I'm going to think about this some more and revise this with more thoughts later... Please feel free to add your own observations.

Ayahuasca Visions & Experiences
When translated, the word Ayahuasca means vine of the dead. It has been used by Shaman as far back as anyone can remember.
Ayahuasca is capable of inducing an altered state of consciousness so powerful that you leave the material realm altogether. I have discussed, earlier this year, my great adventure on Ayahuasca: Entering the library of the Akasha

Marijuana top U.S. cash crop, policy analyst says
source: reuters.com
WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters Life!) - U.S. growers produce nearly $35 billion worth of marijuana annually, making the illegal drug the country's largest cash crop, bigger than corn and wheat combined, an advocate of medical marijuana use said in a study released on Monday.
The report, conducted by Jon Gettman, a public policy analyst and former head of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, also concluded that five U.S. states produce more than $1 billion worth of marijuana apiece: California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Hawaii and Washington.
California's production alone was about $13.8 billion, according to Gettman, who waged an unsuccessful six-year legal battle to force the government to remove marijuana from a list of drugs deemed to have no medical value.
Tom Riley, a spokesman for the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, said he could not confirm the report's conclusions on the size of the country's marijuana crop. But he said the government estimated overall U.S. illegal drug use at $200 billion annually.
Gettman's figures were based on several government reports between 2002 and 2005 estimating the United States produced more than 10,000 metric tons of marijuana annually.
He calculated the producer price per pound of marijuana at $1,606 based on national survey data showing retail prices of between $2,400 and $3,000 between 2001 and 2005.
The total value of 10,000 metric tons of marijuana at $1,606 per pound would be $35.8 billion.
By comparison, the United States produced an average of nearly $23.3 billion worth of corn annually from 2003 to 2005, $17.6 billion worth of soybeans, $12.2 billion worth of hay, nearly $11.1 billion worth of vegetables and $7.4 billion worth of wheat, the report said.
Gettman said the 10-fold increase in U.S. marijuana production, from 1,000 metric tons in 1981 to 10,000 metric tons in 2006, showed the country was failing to control marijuana by making its cultivation and use illegal.
"Marijuana has become a pervasive and ineradicable part of the economy of the United States," he said. "The contribution of this market to the nation's gross domestic product is overlooked in the debate over effective control."
"Like all profitable agricultural crops marijuana adds resources and value to the economy," he added. "The focus of public policy should be how to effectively control this market through regulation and taxation in order to achieve immediate and realistic goals, such as reducing teenage access."
Riley said illegal drug use was a "serious part of the economy," but he rejected the notion of an economic argument for legalizing marijuana.
He said marijuana use was an "inherently harmful activity" with serious physical and mental health consequences. He said more American teens were in treatment centers for marijuana dependency than for all other drugs combined.

Third Eye - Pineal Gland
The pineal gland was the last endocrine gland to have its function discovered. Its location deep in the brain seemed to indicate its importance. This combination led to its being a "mystery" gland with myth, superstition and even metaphysical theories surrounding its perceived function.
The pineal gland is occasionally associated with the sixth chakra (also called Ajna or the third eye chakra in yoga). It is believed by some to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable "telepathic" communication.
In the physical body the eye views objects upside down. It sends the image of what it observes to the brain which interprets the image and makes it appear right side-up to us.
But the human body has another physical eye whose function has long been recognized by humanity. It is called the 'Third Eye' which in reality is the Pineal Gland. It is long thought to have mystical powers. Many consider it the Spiritual Third Eye, our Inner Vision.
It is located in the geometric center of the brain. This correlates to the location of the Great Pyramid in the center of the physical planet.
The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle.
The true function of this mysterious gland has long been contemplated by philosophers and Spiritual Adepts. Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland to be our connection to the Realms of Thought.
Rene Descartes called it the Seat of the Soul, believing it is unique in the anatomy of the human brain in being a structure not duplicated on the right and left sides. This observation is not true, however; under a microscope one finds the pineal gland is divided into two fine hemispheres.
This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process.
When the pineal gland awakens one feels a pressure at the base of the brain. This pressure will often be experienced when connecting to higher frequency. A head injury can also activate the Third Eye - Pineal Gland.
While the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important in initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision.
The third eye can see beyond the physical
as is looks out through the chakrasystem
when we meditate or look for answers from higher frequencies.
The pineal gland contains a complete map of the visual field of the eyes and it plays several significant roles in human functioning.
There is a pathway from the retinas to the hypothalamus called the retinohypothalamic tract. It brings information about light and dark cycles to a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus(SCN). From the SCN, nerve impulses travel via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nervous system) to the pineal gland. These impulses inhibit the production of melatonin. When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released. The pineal gland is therefore a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper for the human body.
Retinal research done with hamsters demonstrates another center for melatonin production. Located in the retina, this center implies that the eyes have their own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system is distinct from the brains body clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Biologists found that they could throw the retinal rhythms out of sync with other circadian cycles. They also found that they could set and reset the retinal clock even when the SCN was destroyed.
The retinal clock produces (stimulates the production of?) melatonin. Researchers are now looking for the exact location (s) of this clock in the human eye (and expect to find it). No one yet knows what the separate clock is for or how it relates to the SCN.
In some lower vertebrates the Epiphysis Cerebri - Pineal Gland - has a well-developed eye-like structure; in others though not organized as an eye, if functions as a light receptor. In lower vertebrates, the pineal gland has an eye like structure and it functions as a light receptor and is considered by some to be the evolutionary forerunner of the modern eye.
The gland weighs little more than 0.1 gram. The gland is large in children and begins to shrink with the onset of puberty. It appears to play a major role in sexual development, hibernation in animals, metabolism, and seasonal breeding. In humans it affects circadian rhythms, sleep patterns (melatonin levels increase at night), and is implicated in seasonal affective disorder. The abundant melatonin levels in children is believed to inhibit sexual development. When puberty arrives, melatonin production is reduced.
The pineal gland secretes melanin during times of relaxation and visualization. As we are created by electromagnetic energy - and react to EM energy stimuli around us - so does the pineal gland.
When activated, the pineal gland becomes the line of communication with the higher planes. The crown chakra reaches down until its vortex touches the pineal gland. Prana, or pure energy, is received through this energy center in the head. With Practice the vibration level of the astral body is raised, allowing it to separate from the physical.
To activate the 'third eye' and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland and the pituitary body must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and/or relaxation. When a correct relationship is established between personality, operating through the pituitary body, and the soul, operating through the pineal gland, a magnetic field is created. The negative and positive forces interact and become strong enough to create the 'light in the head.' With this 'light in the head' activated, astral projectors can withdraw themselves from the body, carrying the light with them.
Astral travel, and other occult abilities, are closely associated with the development of the 'light in the head'. After physical relaxation, concentration upon the pineal gland is achieved by staring at a point in the middle of the forehead. Without straining the muscles of the eye, this will activate the pineal gland and the 'third eye'. Beginning with the withdrawal of the senses and the physical consciousness, the consciousness is centered in the region of the pineal gland. The perceptive faculty and the point of realization are centralized in the area between the middle of the forehead and the pineal gland. The trick is to visualize, very intently, the subtle body escaping through the trap door of the brain. A popping sound may occur at the time separation of the astral body in the area of the pineal gland.
Visualization exercises are the first step in directing the energies in our inner systems to activate the 'third eye'. The magnetic field is created around the pineal gland, by focusing the mind on the midway point between the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The creative imagination visualizes something, and the thought energy of the mind gives life and direction to this form.
'Third eye' development, imagination, and visualization are important ingredients in many methods to separate from the physical form. Intuition is also achieved through 'third eye' development. Knowledge and memory of the astral plane are not registered in full waking consciousness until the intuition becomes strong enough. Flashes of intuition come with increasing consistency as the 'third eye' as activated to a greater degree, through practice.
The pineal gland corresponds with divine thought after being touched by the vibrating light of Kundalini. Kundalini starts its ascent towards the head center after responding to the vibrations from the 'light in the head.' The light is located at the top of the sutratma, or 'soul thread', which passes down from the highest plane of our being into the physical vehicle.
The 'third eye,' or 'eye of Siva,' the organ of spiritual vision, is intimately related to karma, as we become more spiritual in the natural course of evolution.
As human beings continue to evolve further out of matter, on the journey from spirit to matter back to spirit, the pineal gland will continue to rise from its state of age-long dormancy, bringing back to humanity astral capacities and spiritual abilities.
At certain brainwave frequencies, a sense of ego boundary vanishes. In the theta state, we are resting deeply and still conscious, at the threshold of drifting away from or back into conscious awareness. As the brain enters deeper states, our consciousness is less concerned with the physical state, our 'third eye' is active, and separation becomes natural. Many native traditions and mystical practices refer to the ability of 'seeing,' or being aware of energy fields at higher levels. This abstract awareness is much more subjective and does not involve the normal level of mundane consciousness, which is mostly concerned with self-identity. This 'seeing' refers to the sight of the 'third eye'.
Consciousness is raised from an emotional nature into an illumined awareness when the pineal gland is lifted from dormancy. If the pineal gland is not yet fully developed, it will be in the course of evolution. When our sense of ego and personality are set aside and we keep our mental energy intact, we can become conscious of the non-physical, our inner self, the subconscious, through different practices to activate the 'light in the head.
Thoughts on a Winter Morning
As I warm myself with this cigarette during a cold winter morning, I ponder of the purpose of winter. I wonder how it pertains to our spirit and how we will re-create ourselves in the coming year.
Winter is as essential as spring for the flourishing of the great tree of life. It is a time of de-construction in which we recycle the parts of ourselves that we no longer need. We bury these things in the proverbial Earth with the hope that we can learn from our mistakes and be nourished by this wisdom in the coming year.
Fortunately the processes of mother nature, in all of her infinite wisdom, provide us with such a mechanism that ensures the cycle of growth and decay will continue each year. Were this not the case, it is likely that no appreciable growth could be sustained for very long.
I can feel the cold embrace of the de-constructive spirit of the winter as it shakes loose the many vane artifices. So much of what we employ our precious energies building ends up feeling hollow and empty during reflective periods like this.
What path will we take in the coming year? Will we learn to unlock our potential or will it be yet another year of empty toil and un-fulfilling comfort? Will we find the strength to embrace those whom we care for with un-conditional love or will we lose sight of them and repeat these same damned questions again next year?
Though I feel it has been a wonderful year, I feel great sorrow when I consider the many missed opportunities. More than anything I wish I had done more to share life with those who I care for.
Often I find myself wondering why I feel such a great draw to those I love; maybe I know them from a past life and want to re-live the great moments we once shared, or perhaps I'm just lost and alone; despirately trying to make sense of a desolate world. Perhaps I have just invented everything in my head to keep me going...
This longing, whatever it be, is stronger than any other that I've ever felt; it is with me when I awake each morning, throught the day, and when I dream in the night.
Forever I carry with me the hope that the one's I love will want be a part of my world as much as I want to be a part of theirs. I hope that we will all survive in the coming year and be able to cherish these few fleeting moment that we are given an opportunity to share.
Attune the self so that you are able to hear the soft voice of your guiding spirit. She knows far more than can be learned in one lifetime. Listen carefully as she whispers the answers that will release us from this loneliness.

Gold Action for 12-11-2006
Gold is consolidating nicely in the 620 range; it managed to break out of its power-down trendline yesterday. A test of the old high may occur within the next few weeks as there doesn't appear to be much downside.
Click the chart for hi-rez version.Whoever it was had no regard for getting the gold at a certain price, but appears more interested in getting a massive amount all during one time period. I saw the same sort of action in the Silver chart when it was at $10/oz, after which it rose to $15/oz.

Expert says FBI covered up the plot to attack Congress which may have been perpetrated by the same people who carried out the 9/11 attacks
Steve Watson | Infowars.net
Wednesday, December 13, 2006
The real culprits behind the 2001 anthrax attack on Congress were most likely US government scientists at the army's Ft. Detrick, MD., bioterrorism lab according to a former government biological weapons legislator and University of Illinois Professor.
Dr Franics A. Boyle says the FBI covered up these facts and has also quite clearly stated that he doubts the official government story that 19 arabs with boxcutters perpetrated the attacks of 9/11.
Boyle is a leading American professor, practitioner and advocate of international law. He was responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, the American implementing legislation for the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. He served on the Board of Directors of Amnesty International (1988-1992), and represented Bosnia- Herzegovina at the World Court. Professor Boyle teaches international law at the University of Illinois, Champaign. He holds a Doctor of Law Magna Cum Laude as well as a Ph.D. in Political Science, both from Harvard University.
"I believe the FBI knows exactly who was behind these terrorist anthrax attacks upon the United States Congress in the Fall of 2001, and that the culprits were US government-related scientists involved in a criminal US government bio-warfare program," Boyle says in his new book Biowarfare and Terrorism
Only a "handful" of scientists had the means to carry out the attack, yet the FBI ordered the destruction of the anthrax culture collection at Ames, IA., from which the Ft. Detrick lab got its pathogens. Boyle states that only top level scientists with access to "moonsuits" that enabled them to safely process and manufacture super-weapons-grade anthrax could have carried out the attacks.
"The trail of genetic evidence would have led directly back to a secret but officially-sponsored US government biowarfare program that was illegal and criminal" , Boyle said. However, impartial scientists were not allowed to perform genetic reconstruction of the anthrax found in letters mailed to Senators Daschle (D-S.D.) and Patrick Leahy, (D -Vt.) in late 2001.
We have previously exposed how leading members of the Bush administration and White House staff were on the anthrax-treating antibiotic Cipro up to six weeks before the attacks occurred. It is also documented that the anthrax strain used was military grade. This was widely reported in 2002 in publications such as the New Scientist. However, this fact has recently been totally changed with the FBI now suggesting that common anthrax, not military grade anthrax was used.
The whole thing "appears to be a cover-up orchestrated by the FBI." according to Dr Boyle.
Boyle goes on to inquire, "Could the real culprits behind the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, and the immediately following terrorist anthrax attacks upon Congress ultimately prove to be the same people? Could it truly be coincidental that two of the primary intended victims of the terrorist anthrax attacks - Senators Daschle and Leahy - were holding up the speedy passage of the pre-planned USA Patriot Act ... an act which provided the federal government with unprecedented powers in relation to US citizens and institutions?"
Clearly Dr Boyle has a hard time believing what the government says happened on 9/11.
The anthrax attacks cleverly (or coincidentally if you choose to believe) coincided with the terrorist atrocities and sent Congress into shut down for days. Immediately after re-convening the liberty smashing PATRIOT Act was passed without even being read by members.
In addition, the Bush administration moved to begin planning a major $10 billion expansion of the bioweapons labs at Fort Detrick. Residents in the area have fiercely campaigned against the expansion.
In a forward to Boyle's book, Dr. Jonathan King, Professor of Molecular Biology at M.I.T. and a founder of the Council for Responsible Genetics, says the government's "growing bioterror programs represent a significant emerging danger to our own population." 
Those who cannot fathom how or why the government could kill almost 3000 citizens, including police and firefighters, on 9/11 need look no further than the anthrax attacks, which provide solid proof that criminal elements within the structure of authority are in operation and don't give a damn about who they kill to achieve their goals of social control.
There are countless examples of the US government having illegally tested and used bio-weapons on its own citizens. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, The Program F fluoride study, Project SHAD which we are now learning used live toxins and chemical poisons on American servicemen on American soil, spraying clouds of bacteria over San Francisco, releasing toxic gases into the New York subway, holding open-air biological and chemical weapons tests in at least four states in the 1960s, the list goes on.
The Pentagon's biowarfare program has long been in operation and US citizens have never been spared from experimentation. To get more of a taste for just how hideous the secret biowarfare program is, click here and go to Rense.com, which has a lengthy (but by no means a comprehensive) list of previous known bio-experiments conducted on the population by the criminal elite.

Dollar collapse would result in 'amero'
deep recession likely regardless of Fed's actions
Jerome R. Corsi | WorldNetDaily.com
Two analysts who have reconstructed money supply data after the Fed stopped publishing it argue a coming dollar collapse will set the stage for creating the amero as a North American currency to replace the dollar.
The reconstructed M3 data – the broadest measure of money – published on econometrician Gary Kuever's website, NowAndFutures.com, shows M3 increased at a rate of 11 percent in May, compared to 9 percent when the Federal Reserve quit publishing M3 data earlier this year.
Asked why the Fed decided to stop publishing M3 data, Kuever told WND, "The Fed probably wants to hide how much liquidity is being pumped into the market, and I expect the trend to keep pumping liquidity into the market will continue, especially since the economy is slowing down."
Why is this important?
"The trend line in my M3-plus-debt chart is staggering," Kuever said. "There has been a straight, long-term trend line of M3-plus-credit increasing since 2000. Long-term, we are creating inflation and the dollar has lost almost 98 percent of its value in the past 100 years."
Kuever, a retired investor, is concerned that with growing budget and trade deficits "the dollar could collapse."
"Especially if the Fed cannot increase rates, because we have already entered a recession," he said.
Analyst Gary Kuever's chart shows M3-plus-credit, short term, from May 2000 to September 2006Bob Chapman, who issued a reconstructed M3 estimate to the 100,000 subscribers to his newsletter, "The International Forecaster", agrees.
"The world is awash in money and credit," Chapman told WND. "My numbers show M3 increasing at about a 10-percent rate right now."
Chapman believes the U.S. economy entered a recession in February. In his newsletter of Dec. 9 he predicted the Fed would hold interest rates at 5.25 percent.
"The Fed is in a very tough spot here," Chapman wrote, "If they raise rates, the real estate market will collapse, and if they lower rates, the dollar will collapse."
Meeting yesterday, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee voted, as Chapman had predicted, to hold the overnight lending rates between banks steady at 5.25 percent. This was the fourth straight meeting the Fed had voted not to change rates. In its rate announcement, the Fed affirmed the economy had slowed.
Almost immediately after the announcement of the Fed's decision, the dollar weakened to a new 20-month low against the euro, with currency markets reportedly pricing in the expectation the Fed will be forced to lower rates next year to bolster the economy. Following the announcement by the Fed, the U.S. Dollar Index, or USDX, also dropped, with the dollar going below 83.
A dollar collapse is imminent, Chapman declared.
"Technicians studying the USDX think there is a support level for the dollar at 75, but I don't think so."
How low could the dollar go?
"If the dollar breaks through 78.33 on the USDX," Chapman answered, "my guess is the dollar will go through a 35-percent correction, which would put it at 55."
"The key in how low the dollar goes is the interest rates," Chapman told WND. "In January, the Fed is going to have to make a decision which way to go. If Fed rates go up, the dollar will hold in the 78.33 range, but the stock market and the economy will tank. If next year the Fed lowers rates to keep the economy from crashing, the bottom will fall out of the dollar, and I see it going as low as 55. Once the dollar hits bottom, it will take the stock market and the economy right with it anyway. The Fed is in a box they can't get out of."
As WND reported earlier this week, in an unusual move, the Bush administration is sending virtually the entire economic "A-team" to visit China for a "strategic economic dialogue" in Beijing Thursday and Friday. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are leading the delegation, along with five other cabinet-level officials, including Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez. Also in the delegation will be Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, Energy Secretary Sam Bodman, and U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab.
But Chapman doubts the trip will help the Fed to engineer a slow dollar slide.
"The Chinese are going to do what the Chinese want to do, not what we want them to do," he said. "I believe the Chinese are going to send Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke home packing, with little or nothing to show for the trip."
How severe will the coming dollar collapse be?
"People in the U.S. are going to be hit hard," Chapman warned. "In the severe recession we are entering now, Bush will argue that we have to form a North American Union to compete with the Euro."
"Creating the amero," Chapman explained, "will be presented to the American public as the administration's solution for dollar recovery. In the process of creating the amero, the Bush administration just abandons the dollar."

I sense a major convergence...
I sense a great disturbance as a result of some observations I've had; major convergences are occuring in many areas, most demonstrably the currency and commodity markets. Great shifts in the ways matters are conducted are soon to follow.
Though few of us realize what has taken place, all of us will be forced to deal with the consequences.
The rate of change in many aspects of our lives will soon increase drastically; a development that is sure to astonish those of us who are not centered and aware of the reality.
I have a very strong feeling about these next few weeks, effects of these changes will dawn upon us, as if screaming from all sides. We will transition us into our newly accellerated reality in a couple of months.
Imbalances, created by market manipulation, fiscial irresponsability and genuine stupidity, are creating breakouts in the US Dollar and Gold; breakouts which signify a sea change in US Dollar hegemony and US Dominance over many parts of the world.
One of the first signs of convergence I noticed; the U.S. dollar and Gold are breaking out of formations that they have been inside of for several months. The U.S. Dollar is also breaking out of a formation that it has been enclosed in for almost 30 years.
- 30-Year USDX Chart - this is a couple of weeks old, so check the current price to see where it ended up. It is not in the 30-Year wedge anymore.
- Recent Gold Chart with basic TA drawn.
The European Union is already feeling the effects of their governments becoming rubber stamps for Brussels and the corresponding loss of sovereignty. Now North America is going to get a taste of an even more Globalist form of government as the new government attains the sovereignty of the United States after the impending currency devaluation; a devaluation which will pave the way for the Amero and with it the continental government.
Why are Jews at the 'Holocaust denial' conference?
Members of Neturei Karta at the controversial Tehran debate
Why are Jews attending a conference on the Holocaust in Tehran at which star guests include deniers of the genocide? Clue: they also want an end to the Israeli state.
A handful of Orthodox Jews have attended Iran's controversial conference questioning the Nazi genocide of the Jews - not because they deny the Holocaust but because they object to using it as justification for the existence of Israel.
With their distinctive hats, beards and side locks, these men may, to the untrained eye, look like any other Orthodox believers in Jerusalem or New York. But the Jews who went to Tehran are different.
Some of them belong to Neturei Karta (Guardians of the City), a group of a few thousand people which views Zionism - the movement to establish a Jewish national home or state in what was Palestine - as a "poison" threatening "true Jews".
A representative, UK-based Rabbi Aharon Cohen, told the conference he prayed "that the underlying cause of strife and bloodshed in the Middle East, namely the state known as Israel, be totally and peacefully dissolved".
In its place, Rabbi Cohen said, should be "a regime fully in accordance with the aspirations of the Palestinians when Arab and Jew will be able to live peacefully together as they did for centuries".
Neturei Karta believes the very idea of an Israeli state goes against the Jewish religion.
The book of Jewish law or Talmud, they say, teaches that believers may not use human force to create a Jewish state before the coming of the Messiah.
But how does Neturei Karta and other Orthodox Jews such as Austria-based Rabbi Moishe Ayre Friedman justify attending such a controversial conference? Rabbi Friedman told BBC Radio Four's PM programme that he was not in Tehran to debate whether the Holocaust happened or not, but to look at its lessons.
He says the Holocaust was being used to legitimise the suffering of other peoples and he wanted to break what he called a taboo on discussing it.
The main thing, he argued, was not Jewish suffering in the past but the use of the Holocaust as a "tool of commercial, military and media power".
In what many other Jews would consider the height of naivety, he commended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for wanting "a secured future for innocent Jewish people in Europe and elsewhere".
In his speech to the conference, Neturei Karta's Rabbi Cohen said there was no doubt about the Holocaust and it would be "a terrible affront to the memory of those who perished to belittle the guilt of the crime in any way".
However, he also argued that the genocide had been divine will. "The Zionists, with their secular pompous approach behave in complete opposition to this philosophy and dare to say 'Never Again'.
"They have the audacity to think that they can prevent the Almighty from repeating a Holocaust. This is heresy."
Neturei Karta have been condemned by other Orthodox Jews as an extreme fringe movement while the Tehran conference has been denounced by the Israeli parliament.
Gold and Dollar Market Summary
Reality is starting to hit major money centers. Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Greenspan saw to that today. Both Greenspan and former Chairman Volcker have now put RIP on the dollar box.
As you can see from the article posted here diversification out of the US dollar is multifaceted. It is not simply enemies of the US but friends and competitors that are in the diversification mode. Please understand that diversification does not necessarily mean selling dollars. What it means is not more significant buying.
Diversification out of the dollar has two implications. One is that markets are momentum devices and therefore all that is required to bring the dollar down to .8050 is a deceleration of buying. That has happened.
The other implication is that if central banks are diversifying out of the US dollar they are less likely to purchase US dollar products. That speaks ill for the US Treasury Capital Inflow known as the TIC report. If the inflow of non-US capital is less than the US Trade deficit for three months in a row the US dollar will break well below .8050. If the TIC report ever went negative two months in a row the lower estimates for the USDX would be achieved.
As far as the geopolitical situation goes, it could not be worse. There is no question whatsoever about there being a civil war in Iraq. It is there. There is no hope Iraq forces that have failed and continue to fail to show up at the battle will handle all security matters a year from now or ever. Iraq is a lost cause if the made in Hollywood government goes down as it probably will if not now, soon.
The Taliban are more organized and better equipped. They are significant opponents for the heroes that fight at the orders of their commanders. Any force that can take on US Marines head to head are dedicated fighters. Afghanistan is getting hotter and hotter as Iraq goes up in civil flames.
The dollar is going lower. Gold is going to $682 then $750. It will in 2007 and 2008 equal and then exceed old highs.
The break out is either here and now or after the first week of January. Both are so close as to make defining the difference a matter of splitting hairs.
Today you witnessed how the chairman of the board is demoted to meaningless as the US Treasury finalizes a friendly acquisition of the Federal Reserve System. Who knows, in time it might even work better.
Right now the economy takes precedent over the dollar but unfortunately they are both going south.

Pilots Investigate 9/11 Pentagon Strike
The following information is from PilotsFor911Truth.org
Video:The flight path from Flight 77's data recorder. Pilots have analyzed the altitude readings from the data recorder and found it to be almost 400 feet too high in altitute. A direct conflict with the official story.
Phone call to NTSB regarding AA77 Flight Data Recorder Notice how the NTSB official who signed off on the report quickly terminated the conversation after he realized the discussion was about AA77. Later in the day, the caller was called by and NTSB PR official at home.
American 77 Final Maneuver
Flight Data Recorder Analysis - Last Second of Data - 09:37:44
08/20/06
We have determined based on the Flight Data Recorder information that has been analyzed thus far provided by the NTSB, that it is impossible for this aircraft to have struck down the light poles.
We have an animation of the entire flight provided by the NTSB. I have sat through the whole flight from taxi out at Dulles... to the impact at the Pentagon in real time.
The screenshot below shows the very last frame of the recorded data. Its stops at 9:37:44 AM EDT (Official Impact Time is 09:37:45). You will notice in the right margin the altitude of the aircraft on the middle instrument. It shows 180 feet. This altitude has been determined to reflect Pressure altitude as set by 29.92 inHg on the Altimeter. The actual local pressure for DCA at impact time was 30.22 inHg. The error for this discrepancy is 300 feet. Meaning, the actual aircraft altitude was 300 feet higher than indicated at that moment in time. Which means aircraft altitude was 480 feet above sea level (MSL, 75 foot margin for error according to Federal Aviation Regulations). You can clearly see the highway in the below screenshot directly under the aircraft. The elevation for that highway is ~40 feet above sea level according to the US Geological Survey. The light poles would have had to been 440 feet tall (+/- 75 feet) for this aircraft to bring them down. Which you can clearly see in the below picture, the aircraft is too high, even for the official released video of the 5 frames where you see something cross the Pentagon Lawn at level attitude. The 5 frames of video captured by the parking gate cam is in direct conflict with the Aircraft Flight Data Recorder information released by the NTSB. More information will be forthcoming as we come to our conclusions on each issue. We have contacted the NTSB regarding the conflict between the official story and the FDR. They refuse to comment.
more...
This information leaves no doubt in my mind that the Pentagon strike was indeed a hoax. If the government really wanted to dispel the conspiracy theories, they would answer the questions. They have yet to answer the questions posed by trained pilots; perfectly legitimate questions that we have the right to know the answer to.

Flatulence, not turbulence forces plane landing in Nashville
Samuel Shu
The Tennessean
Tuesday, December 5, 2006
Flatulence brought 99 passengers on an American Airlines flight to an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.
American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.
The plane landed safely. The FBI, Transportation Safety Administration and airport authority responded to the emergency, Lowrance said.
The passengers and five crew members were brought off the plane, together with all the luggage, to go through security checks again. Bomb-sniffing dogs found spent matches.
The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal body odor, Lowrance said. The woman lives near Dallas and has a medical condition.
The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane.
"American has banned her for a long time," Lowrance said.
She was not charged but could have been. While it is legal to bring as many as four books of paper safety matches onto an aircraft, it is illegal to strike a match in an airplane, Lowrance said.
FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool
By Declan McCullagh and Anne Broache
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Agency used novel surveillance technique on alleged Mafioso: activating his cell phone's microphone and then just listening.
The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.
The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.
While it appears this is the first use of the "roving bug" technique, it has been discussed in security circles for years.
Nextel cell phones owned by two alleged mobsters, John Ardito and his attorney Peter Peluso, were used by the FBI to listen in on nearby conversations. The FBI views Ardito as one of the most powerful men in the Genovese family, a major part of the national Mafia.
The surveillance technique came to light in an opinion published this week by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. He ruled that the "roving bug" was legal because federal wiretapping law is broad enough to permit eavesdropping even of conversations that take place near a suspect's cell phone.
Kaplan's opinion said that the eavesdropping technique "functioned whether the phone was powered on or off." Some handsets can't be fully powered down without removing the battery; for instance, some Nokia models will wake up when turned off if an alarm is set.
While the Genovese crime family prosecution appears to be the first time a remote-eavesdropping mechanism has been used in a criminal case, the technique has been discussed in security circles for years.
The U.S. Commerce Department's security office warns that "a cellular telephone can be turned into a microphone and transmitter for the purpose of listening to conversations in the vicinity of the phone." An article in the Financial Times last year said mobile providers can "remotely install a piece of software on to any handset, without the owner's knowledge, which will activate the microphone even when its owner is not making a call."
Nextel and Samsung handsets and the Motorola Razr are especially vulnerable to software downloads that activate their microphones, said James Atkinson, a counter-surveillance consultant who has worked closely with government agencies. "They can be remotely accessed and made to transmit room audio all the time," he said. "You can do that without having physical access to the phone."
Because modern handsets are miniature computers, downloaded software could modify the usual interface that always displays when a call is in progress. The spyware could then place a call to the FBI and activate the microphone--all without the owner knowing it happened. (The FBI declined to comment on Friday.)
"If a phone has in fact been modified to act as a bug, the only way to counteract that is to either have a bugsweeper follow you around 24-7, which is not practical, or to peel the battery off the phone," Atkinson said. Security-conscious corporate executives routinely remove the batteries from their cell phones, he added.
FBI's physical bugs discovered
The FBI's Joint Organized Crime Task Force, which includes members of the New York police department, had little luck with conventional surveillance of the Genovese family. They did have a confidential source who reported the suspects met at restaurants including Brunello Trattoria in New Rochelle, N.Y., which the FBI then bugged.
But in July 2003, Ardito and his crew discovered bugs in three restaurants, and the FBI quietly removed the rest. Conversations recounted in FBI affidavits show the men were also highly suspicious of being tailed by police and avoided conversations on cell phones whenever possible.
That led the FBI to resort to "roving bugs," first of Ardito's Nextel handset and then of Peluso's. U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones approved them in a series of orders in 2003 and 2004, and said she expected to "be advised of the locations" of the suspects when their conversations were recorded.
Details of how the Nextel bugs worked are sketchy. Court documents, including an affidavit (p1) and (p2) prepared by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Kolodner in September 2003, refer to them as a "listening device placed in the cellular telephone." That phrase could refer to software or hardware.
One private investigator interviewed by CNET News.com, Skipp Porteous of Sherlock Investigations in New York, said he believed the FBI planted a physical bug somewhere in the Nextel handset and did not remotely activate the microphone.
"They had to have physical possession of the phone to do it," Porteous said. "There are several ways that they could have gotten physical possession. Then they monitored the bug from fairly near by."
But other experts thought microphone activation is the more likely scenario, mostly because the battery in a tiny bug would not have lasted a year and because court documents say the bug works anywhere "within the United States"--in other words, outside the range of a nearby FBI agent armed with a radio receiver.
In addition, a paranoid Mafioso likely would be suspicious of any ploy to get him to hand over a cell phone so a bug could be planted. And Kolodner's affidavit seeking a court order lists Ardito's phone number, his 15-digit International Mobile Subscriber Identifier, and lists Nextel Communications as the service provider, all of which would be unnecessary if a physical bug were being planted.
A BBC article from 2004 reported that intelligence agencies routinely employ the remote-activiation method. "A mobile sitting on the desk of a politician or businessman can act as a powerful, undetectable bug," the article said, "enabling them to be activated at a later date to pick up sounds even when the receiver is down."
For its part, Nextel said through spokesman Travis Sowders: "We're not aware of this investigation, and we weren't asked to participate."
Other mobile providers were reluctant to talk about this kind of surveillance. Verizon Wireless said only that it "works closely with law enforcement and public safety officials. When presented with legally authorized orders, we assist law enforcement in every way possible."
A Motorola representative said that "your best source in this case would be the FBI itself." Cingular, T-Mobile, and the CTIA trade association did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Mobsters: The surveillance vanguard
This isn't the first time the federal government has pushed at the limits of electronic surveillance when investigating reputed mobsters.
In one case involving Nicodemo S. Scarfo, the alleged mastermind of a loan shark operation in New Jersey, the FBI found itself thwarted when Scarfo used Pretty Good Privacy software (PGP) to encode confidential business data.
So with a judge's approval, FBI agents repeatedly snuck into Scarfo's business to plant a keystroke logger and monitor its output.
Like Ardito's lawyers, Scarfo's defense attorneys argued that the then-novel technique was not legal and that the information gleaned through it could not be used. Also like Ardito, Scarfo's lawyers lost when a judge ruled in January 2002 that the evidence was admissible.
This week, Judge Kaplan in the southern district of New York concluded that the "roving bugs" were legally permitted to capture hundreds of hours of conversations because the FBI had obtained a court order and alternatives probably wouldn't work.
The FBI's "applications made a sufficient case for electronic surveillance," Kaplan wrote. "They indicated that alternative methods of investigation either had failed or were unlikely to produce results, in part because the subjects deliberately avoided government surveillance."
Bill Stollhans, president of the Private Investigators Association of Virginia, said such a technique would be legally reserved for police armed with court orders, not private investigators.
There is "no law that would allow me as a private investigator to use that type of technique," he said. "That is exclusively for law enforcement. It is not allowable or not legal in the private sector. No client of mine can ask me to overhear telephone or strictly oral conversations."
Surreptitious activation of built-in microphones by the FBI has been done before. A 2003 lawsuit revealed that the FBI was able to surreptitiously turn on the built-in microphones in automotive systems like General Motors' OnStar to snoop on passengers' conversations.
When FBI agents remotely activated the system and were listening in, passengers in the vehicle could not tell that their conversations were being monitored.
Malicious hackers have followed suit. A report last year said Spanish authorities had detained a man who write a Trojan horse that secretly activated a computer's video camera and forwarded him the recordings.

Made in Hollywood Iraqi Government Crumbles
- The President of the United States was stood up.
- The stand up was a product of al Sadr and his Medi Army.
- There was a walk out of those politicos who made the present Iraq leadership.
- Those that made the present leadership can also collapse it.
- The planned arrival of the Iraq forces in Baghdad simply did not happen. Soldiers ordered by their commanders to March once again refused. Yes, the Iraqi troops refused their orders.
- These are the people who will supposedly soon be able to keep order in Iraq.
- So far the only person to successfully keep order in Iraq is on trial for his life.
- More people are dying monthly in Iraq than before the invasion to rid the country of its despotic ruler.
The Pentagon yesterday spoke again about adding significantly more troops to Iraq as the solution to the non-civil war taking place. This is exactly the strategy that was applied continually in South Vietnam.
We are still staying the course, the cost of which in both lives and dollars is horrendous. Simultaneously the US economy has rolled over. Tax income is going to decline. There is no doubt about that.
With Tax income declines, entitlements now set in Democratic Party cement, war spending ever rising and tax reductions still in place the US Federal Budget deficit is bound to explode on the upside.
The dollar today is headed for its first test of .8050. Truth be known even a test of this level is absolute proof that it is stone dead. The opposite side of this is that gold will make the $750 before resting on this rally.

Software Will Let Users Dodge Government Internet Censorship
November 27, 2006 (5:20 PM EST)
K.C. Jones | InformationWeek.com
Developers from the University of Toronto plan to release software this week that will allow residents in restrictive countries to gain uncensored Internet access through friends' and family members' home computers.
The Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies announced Sunday that it will release psiphon, a "human rights software project," under General Public License, by Friday. The system, part of the lab's CiviSec Project, is funded by the Open Society Institute.
It is not entirely bulletproof, but developers say it will be difficult for censors to identify and block psiphon.
People in free countries can install the free open source software and turn their home computers into "psiphonodes," or personal, encrypted servers. The psiphonode administrator can create and manage user accounts so friends and relatives can log in from censored countries. The encrypted connection allows people in restrictive countries to go to the administrators' unique Web addresses, login with usernames and passwords provided by administrators, and surf the Web.
The people living under censorship (the software developers call them psiphonites) never make a direct connection to Web sites through their own computers. The Web site operators cannot see users' information, though administrators can see everything the psiphonite does.
The psiphon Web site, which provides the software, doesn't have to be operative for the software to work. In other words, even if a censoring regime blocks access to the psiphon Web site, people in restrictive countries can access the wide open Web through their friends' and family members' computers.
The provider or administrator must have his or her computer up and running for people in other countries to access it. The open source software alerts administrators when their own network information changes so they can give psiphon users their new Web address.
Developers hope to distribute the software through social networks, allowing each administrator to create a network based on personal trust. If the provider only gives his or her computer address to a few trustworthy people, it will be difficult for censoring governments to identify and block his or her psiphon server, developers said.
However, censoring governments could catch on to the use of censor-bypassing software if officials infiltrate an administrator's social network and detect an encrypted connection to a home computer in another country. Developers urge verification through manual key certificate fingerprint identification to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
Developers said the software could be used to edit blogs, although it is primarily for Web browsing. It cannot be used for chat or VoIP. It works with Windows and Linux operating systems. Programmers are working on a Mac version.
The psiphon Web site contains a warning that bypassing censorship may be against the law and users should seriously consider the risks and potential consequences.
It may be interesting to see how the system goes over in China, where officials claim that, despite studies showing otherwise, they have trouble with access, not deliberate Internet restrictions.
Judge Strikes Down Bush on Terror Groups
Wednesday November 29, 2006 12:01 PM
By LINDA DEUTSCH
AP Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A federal judge struck down President Bush's authority to designate groups as terrorists, saying his post-Sept. 11 executive order was unconstitutional and vague.
Some parts of the Sept. 24, 2001 order tagging 27 groups and individuals as ``specially designated global terrorists'' were too vague and could impinge on First Amendment rights of free association, U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins said.
The order gave the president ``unfettered discretion'' to label groups without giving them a way to challenge the designations, she said in a Nov. 21 ruling that was made public Tuesday.
The judge, who two years ago invalidated portions of the U.S. Patriot Act, rejected several sections of Bush's Executive Order 13224 and enjoined the government from blocking the assets of two foreign groups.
However, she let stand sections that would penalize those who provide ``services'' to designated terrorist groups.
She said such services would include the humanitarian aid and rights training proposed by the plaintiffs.
The ruling was praised by David Cole, a lawyer for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Constitutional Rights, who represented the plaintiff Humanitarian Law Project.
It ``says that even in fighting terrorism the president cannot be given a blank check to blacklist anyone he considers a bad guy or a bad group and you can't imply guilt by association,'' Cole said.
He said the Humanitarian Law Project will appeal those portions of the executive order which were allowed to stand.
A U.S. Department of Justice spokesman had a mixed reaction to the judge's ruling.
``We are pleased the court rejected many of the constitutional arguments raised by the plaintiffs, including their challenge to the government's ban on providing services to terrorist organizations,'' Justice spokesman Charles Miller said Tuesday. ``However, we believe the court erred in finding that certain other aspects of the executive order were unconstitutional.''
The judge's ruling was a reversal of her own tentative findings last July in which she indicated she would uphold wide powers asserted by Bush under an anti-terror financing law. She delayed her ruling then to allow more legal briefs to be filed.
The long-running litigation has centered on two groups, the Liberation Tigers, which seeks a separate homeland for the Tamil people in Sri Lanka, and Partiya Karkeran Kurdistan, a political organization representing the interests of Kurds in Turkey.
Both groups have been designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations.
The judge's 45-page ruling granted in part and denied in part a legal challenge brought by the Humanitarian Law Project, which seeks to provide training to the groups in human rights advocacy and provide them with humanitarian aid.

Daryl Bradford Smith interviews Eustace Mullins
For decades, Eustace Mullins has been trying to explain that the Rothschilds and other Ashkenazi families are trying to take over the world, and that they secretly created and continue to support the Nazi movement as a tool to manipulate people.
Not until the Internet has Mullins been able to get many people to look at his research.
Unfortunately, the Ashkenazis have lots of liars to counteract this information. For example, Mullins says that the Rockefellers are just one of many expendable soldiers in the Rothschilds army, but liars such as Alex Jones insist that David Rockefeller is at the top of the criminal network.
Our military, police, universities, CIA, and other organizations have so far been total failures in regards to seeing through the deception and protecting us.
It is up to you to help us counteract the deception by warning people to watch out for the Zionist Deniers.

Anybody who is promoted by the Zionist media should be considered working for their crime network. This concept is not difficult to understand.
And any theory that that Zionists promote, such as Al-Qaeda and UFO's, should be considered as propaganda
One method the Ashkenazis use to control people is to promise an end to our suffering.
For example, they have also fooled tens of millions of people into believing that Martians will soon appear and give us their advanced technology; that some religion will save us; that the Democrats will save us from Bush; and that Republicans will save us from the Democrats.
Please notice that the main promoters of UFO's are Ashkenazis, such as Steven Greer and Stanton Friedman. Some people think Art Bell is also an Ashkenazi.
The evidence suggests that the UFOs are actually ZFOs (Zionist Flying Objects) or JewFOs:

Before you assume Aaron Russo is telling you the truth about the Federal Reserve, compare it at what Mullins has to say. And compare Russo's film to the Money Masters.
