Sensenbrenner Calls on Gorelick to Resign From Sept. 11 Commission
Tampa Bay on line (AP) ^ | 04-14-04 | The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner called on Jamie Gorelick to resign from the Sept. 11 commission Wednesday, citing a memo she wrote as a deputy attorney general on separating counterintelligence from criminal investigations. "Scrutiny of this policy lies at the heart of the commission's work," said Sensenbrenner, R-Wis. "Ms. Gorelick has an inherent conflict of interest as the author of this memo and as a government official at the center of the events in questions."

On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft released the declassified 1995 memo from Gorelick containing instructions that "more clearly separate" counterintelligence from criminal investigations. He said the "wall" between counterintelligence and criminal investigations was a key impediment to terrorism probes before the Sept. 11 attacks.

The Landmark Legal Foundation, a conservative law firm, also has called on Gorelick to step down, citing the memo.

A phone message left with the Sept. 11 commission was not immediately returned Wednesday.

That's the response I got too, which I translate to read "Dream on if you think we are going to read your remarks much less reply to you. Now get out of our business."

I called my Senators, Hutchinson & Coryn, asking them to endorse Sensenbrenner's call for Gorelick's resignation. Also told them that they should repudiate Clown Kean's statement that "People should stay out of the commissions business". Both offices said they were getting a lot of calls about Kean's remark.

I'm always late to he party -- have to work (after all, millions on welfare are depending on me) -- but I recall one thing that really PO'd me at the time:

May 21, 2002

FBI Director Robert Mueller
FBI Headquarters Washington, D.C.

Dear Director Mueller:
I feel at this point that I have to put my concerns in writing concerning the important topic of the FBI's response to evidence of terrorist activity in the United States prior to September 11th. The issues are fundamentally ones of INTEGRITY and go to the heart of the FBI's law enforcement mission and mandate. Moreover, at this critical juncture in fashioning future policy to promote the most effective handling of ongoing and future threats to United States citizens' security, it is of absolute importance that an unbiased, completely accurate picture emerge of the FBI's current investigative and management strengths and failures.
            ~~~~ snip ~~~~

Coleen Rowley's Memo to FBI Director Robert Mueller ^

This was the Moussoui case; they held him, but had the FBI gotten into his hard drive on his PC they likely would have found what they needed to stop 911.

This 'commission' needs to be tried for sedition and hung.

I just emailed the commission, and told them that we need to be in their business for all the good it did me.

Thanks. Will check out the link.

Am still pro Bush, myself.

In spite of my undergrad UNIV library job and exposure to the extreme left through the extreme right materials 37+ years ago, I was still pretty dismissive of conspiracy theories.

HOWEVER, have had to adjust my perspective.

1) The extreme left materials from 37+ years ago had several themes.

2) The extreme right wing materials--most of them--said the left was going to do XYZ. Some of them sort of sounded like the extreme left stuff with different window dressing.

3) Interestingly, the left materials--some of the more 'hard core' orgs, sources etc.--also said they were going to do more or less precisely the XYZ stuff that many right wing stuff said they were up to.

4) Since 1965-1969--my years of organizing and making that mass of material available for library patrons--I have seen, I'd guesstimate 80-90% of their goals ALREADY ACHIEVED.

5) That's pretty starkly sobering. No way to deny it, for me.

6) Accepting the fact, for me, that The Bible describes an end times era which matches our own era extensively on a list of points;

7) Accepting the fact that God has been working toward His part in such a drama for thousands of years;

8) Accepting the fact that satan has been working toward his part in such a drama for thousands of years;

9) Accepting the probability that, as some claim, there has been various secret societies of complicit humans working with satan toward evil ends in such an era for perhaps 100's of years;

10) What else would we observe other than the skullduggery Shrillery et al have obviously to not so obviously been up to.

11) Certainly the Biblical "Mark of The Beast" is more than on the brink with the Florida family proudly sporting it . . . regardless of whether the already operating globalists have several redundant sets of massive computer data centers--the main one in Brussels--called THE BEAST--with massive amounts of info public and not so public on every living soul in the developed world and rapidly ditto from those in the developing world . . . . or not. "Digital Angel" . . . what a seductive label for such a fulfillment of such an evil prophetic trend/event/goal.

12) Certainly there is a massive push toward a formal, overt global government with Shrillery, Kommie Kerry et al championing it at every opportunity. I suspect that Bush Sr, Kissarsenger, James Baker, Gorbachev, Scuba Kennedy, Dashdull, Ted Turner, probably Rummy (though I do like his style and public personna), and a long list of others are cheering the goal on and working even harder under the table to bring it about.

13) There is a less obvious but public enough push toward a world religion.

14) There is a discernable sequence of world events over the last 50 years increasingly setting up the world populace to clammer for, demand, even a world government out of fear and demands for safety, an end of war, an end of terror etc.

15) The multinational corporations and other multi-national orgs are extremely complicit in many such efforts as some of their own docs indicate.

16) Strange phenomena from comets to technological explorations to meteors to UFO stuff are appearing as the Biblical "signs in the heavens" with greater frequency and strangeness than ever in my 57 years of life.

17) I've read different denials and arguments on the quake data. And I haven't taken the time to slam all the USGS data into a spread sheet and analyze it myself. But I don't ever recall before in my history when there have been more 6.5 and above--especially more 7.0 and above quakes in a raelatively short time--particularly say in a week to 10 day time than has been the case in the last year even. The South Pacific bunch is just one glaring bunch. There was an Alaskan bunch.

18) The agitated volcanoes also seem to have increased in quake activity and even eruption frequency compared to earlier decades in my lifetime.

19) Certainly the Biblically predicted humans rushing to and fro upon the earth has increased dramatically in our era.

20) The Biblically predicted vast increase of and exchange of knowledge has required new charts in our era, having well gone off the old ones.

21) Massive power outages (of debatable causes) inconveniencing millions of people have occurred in the last couple of decades for the first time in my lifetime.

22) The Biblically predicted "men's hearts failing them for fear" has already begun to happen per isolated news stories--and the stage has been set for massively more such from terrorism causes to natural disasters to--as Werner Von Braun has reportedly asserted to his PhD assistant the last years of his life ended by cancer--a staged war with ET's.

23) Only in recent years have serious scientists and scientific instruments been set up regarding the potential to probability (depending on whom one reads) of Yellowstone's massive volcano erupting with enormous devastation.

24) The New Madrid fault as well as New York faults and Seattle faults have gotten new worrisome attention in recent decades.

25) The volcanic hazards in Northern California have gotten new concerned attention in the last few years.

26) A relatively new scientific prediction is now out for Southern California's desert area with a greater than 6.0 quake within the next 4-6 months as I recall.

27) China with her demands on natural resources including oil and massive amounts of consumer goods . . . resulting pollution . . . as well as her pride in demanding a greater portion of the world stage seems also to be inexorably fitting into the Biblical end times puzzle.

28) In step with Biblical predictions about God pouring His Spirit out with greater abundance and/or intensity in the end time era, various waves of such have occurred and more such seem right on the brink of happening.

29) Manipulation of the masses by media and major politically manipulated events have caused dramatic shifts away from foundational political, spiritual and philosophical values--as Biblically predicted.

30) Universities have, with massive funding inputs from Russia over the past 50 years as verified by KGB files, universities have been wholesale shifted--in the case of MOST IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS--from the Biblical foundations as Bible Schools (e.g. Harvard) shifted from distributers of Biblical values to propagators of values hostile to the Bible's precepts in the extreme. Most assert there is no right or wrong though they claim, interestingly, that it is WRONG to claim there is a right and wrong about life.

31) The Biblical predition that the end times era would include common amounts of people killing genuine believers and thinking that doing so was doing God a favor--has taken on new meaning with the Islamic terrorists. It was bad enough that massive numbers of believers were killed during the Cultural Revolution in China--and to some degree there still. Genocidal termination of masses of believers in Africa continues ongoingingly and doesn't even make the newscast as worthy of mention.

32) Diseases have appeared, and perhaps some been deliberately engineered which have the potential of wiping out vast geographic areas, if not whole continents or the globe with air travel being what it is.

33) New Testament era types of miracles have occurred with more frequency and publicity in the last decade or two than in earlier decades of my life. And that trend seems all set to explode.

34) The reach of the USA from Perth to Poland; Afghanistan to Chile and our complicity in strange globalist geopolitical trends and UN fostered agenda has never been matched in earlier eras.

35) It is inconceivable to me that amidst even a fraction of the above data points, there would be no satanic complicity with human agents toward end time scenarios.

Tom Kean is one of the biggest RINOs in NJ. When he was governor, he raised state spending more than Florio and writes a column in the NJ Fishwrapper with another Liberal Big Spender, Brendon Byrne!

His response indicates that his head is swelling agian and he is starting to show an arrogance that hasn't been seen since Saddam was in power!

Who is the cadaver behind Gorelick? He looks like he briefly came alive and had a Gorelickasm over her apparent attempt at a "Gorelick Gotcha".
