Concluding Question: The Meta-Group and the United States Government It seems clear that the meta-group, with its influential connections on at least three continents, was powerful enough to effect changes, through the Russian 9/11, in Russian history. The question arises whether they could similarly effect changes in American history as well. As we have seen Russian sources claim that the U.S. Government has had access to he meta-group, for such especially sensitive projects as the assassination of Abu al Walid al-Hamadi. They claim the meta-group's involvement in a number of U.S.-sponsored regime changes in eastern Europe, from the overthrow of...

China is paranoid about letting media in: Murdoch AFP[ TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2005 12:28:29 AM] BEIJING: News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch has accused authorities in Beijing of being ‘paranoid’ after admitting plans to develop his empire in China have “hit a brick wall”, the Financial Times reported. Mr Murdoch said Chinese authorities were no longer opening up their vast untapped market to international media companies, reversing their stance from a year ago. The newspaper said Mr Murdoch, who was speaking at a conference in New York organised by former US president Bill Clinton, said the Chinese authorities “were quite paranoid...

A visiting professor at North Carolina State University says the solution to the problems faced by many blacks is the extermination of "white people off the face of the planet." Kamau Kambon, who taught Africana Studies at the Raleigh school last spring, told a panel at Howard University Law School Oct. 14 this action must be taken "because white people want to kill us," the Carolina Journal reported. Kambon, a Raleigh activist and bookstore owner, was addressing a panel on "Hurricane Katrina Media Coverage," broadcast on C-SPAN. Excerpts of the speech can be heard here and the entire event is...

How did the flower children fall for the clintons, 2 such self-evident thugs and opportunists? (FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU! FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!) by Mia T et al., 7.11.05   The book begins with a puzzle: How did the flower children fall for such a self-evident thug and opportunist? And it offers a possible hypothetical answer, which is that ''the Night Creature'' -- Nixon -- and his heirs and assigns could not ever possibly be allowed to be right about anything. When Eszterhas writes about Nixon, and his admirers like Lucianne Goldberg, he hits an...

Freepers - help me! What are the hand washing rules for handling money and then handling ice cream?

By Erik Kirschbaum CANNES, France (Reuters) - The dark underside of the United States has taken center stage in several films at Cannes this year, capped on Monday with a scathing attack of past and present racism in America by Danish director Lars von Trier. Von Trier, whose fear of flying has prevented him from visiting the United States, won thunderous cheers at the world premiere and a news conference, where he said he enjoyed bashing America on screen because it invades his life even in Denmark. "We are all under the influence -- and it's a very bad influence...

A Henrico County resident brought more than complaints about rising real estate taxes to a recent budget public hearing. To the surprise of some in the audience, the speaker was also carrying a gun. "I was beyond appall by the presentation of an armed citizen," Bob Atack, a local developer who attended the April 12 hearing, wrote in a letter to County Manager Virgil R. Hazelett. "As I observed his behavior from the podium, almost within arm's reach [of] the most important elected officials and senior management of our county, it caused me to tremble." Snip…

London 04.05.05 | That's right folks; the USA is invading Venezuela as I type these words. A full blown military attack has been ordered and it's been deployed; World War III has begun now between the quixotic and lethal military forces of Venezuela and the USA. Reports coming straight out of the presidential mouth in Caracas have already alerted about the evolving confrontation. The only problem, for Hugo Chavez, seems to be that no planes or warships or infantry are on sight. The latest technology developed by the best US strategists, engineers and army pundits has permitted for the conflict...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Prosecutors trying Charles Allen McCoy Jr. for a string of sniper shootings in the greater Columbus area reminded jurors Thursday of the effect those shootings had one their own lives. "The choice of driving routes drastically changed for many drivers here in central Ohio," Franklin County First Assistant Prosecutor Ed Morgan told jurors during his opening statement in McCoy's capital murder trial. "The evidence will show that this change in driving routes was due in large part because someone in possession of a 9 mm Beretta pistol was choosing not to fire at a range target, but...

When it came into force on January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) joined the economic futures of Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Clearly both Canada and Mexico—reflecting the forces of geography and markets—had been integrating with the US well before NAFTA took effect. Indeed, the US and Canada had signed a bilateral free trade accord some six years earlier. But, with NAFTA in place, the pace of integration accelerated, and systematic rules governing trade and investment along with dispute resolution mechanisms were established, and the governments assumed an active role in guiding, promoting, and managing...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Gas costs so much. I cant afford it. Why want Bush do something? Don't say he can't. His daddy or his handlers could be on the phone in 2 minutes with the Rothchilds and by 1 week, oil prices would be under $20 and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon. You know it and I know it. Why want he? Do you know? Is there sombody we can call? Plaese advice.

Attallah Quiba, the Palestinian ambassador in Sri Lanka, believes that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was killed by unnamed Israelis using advanced technology, the Island newspaper said. Responding to questions at a media conference in Colombo on Friday, Quiba claimed that two Israelis who met Arafat on the day he was taken sick "used a laser device to attack Arafat." "They tried to flee after using the device but were wrestled down by the Palestinian Authority security personnel. Both men were carrying Canadian passports." Quiba was quoted as saying the Palestinian Authority immediately informed the Israeli government of the "attempt on...

The Los Angeles Times today, folks, has one of the most vicious, angry, bitter editorials I can recall in that paper in a long time. "Republican leaders, eyeing an opportunity to appease their radical right-wing constituents--" And you radical right-wingers out there know who you are, "--convened Congress over the weekend to shamelessly interject the federal government into the wrenching Schiavo family dispute. They brushed aside our federalist system of government, which assigns the resolution of such disputes to state law, and state judges. Even President Bush flew back from his ranch to Washington on Sunday to be in on...

Late last night, while working on a friend's laptop computer, I noticed something odd. I am posting the story here with visual evidence to see if anyone else has experienced this. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8100 running Windows XP Service Pack 2. Among other tasks, I was stripping out his Norton 2003 Anti-Virus (which decided not to work) and installing AVG Anti-Virus software. After that was done I opened his Internet Explorer and went to Google.com and searched on "Firefox". The first result had the title "Rediscover the Web". I clicked on the link and was taken to...

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday he had evidence that the United States was planning to assassinate him, an allegation the U.S. government earlier dismissed as "sild." "We hAve enough evidence ... If anything happens to me, the person responsible will be the president of the United States," Chavez told reporters in New Delhi. He did not elaborate. The exchange of accusations between the left-wing Chavez and U.S. officials has reached fever pitch in recent weeks, raising questions whether the multibillion-dollar energy relationship between Washington and one of its top oil suppliers is at risk....

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has ignited new controversy with his plans for "units of popular defense" throughout the country to defend it from a possible attack from "imperialism." Chavez, who has referred on many occasions to a possible U.S. invasion, said, "If imperialism ever has the idea of challenging Venezuela it would have to deal with Bolivar's people, who is prepared to defend their sovereignty, their motherland."

It had been around a long time before the Radical Right discovered it – and its targets have ranged from “the international bankers” to Masons, Jesuits, and munitions makers.American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority. But behind this I believe there is a style of mind that is far from new and that is not necessarily right-wind. I...
