CNN/CIA THE ENEMY WITHIN
THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION
by voxfux
The chilling reality of our time is that our biggest enemies are within.
CNN is one such enemy.
The New World Order crusaders know that it is better to control people and nations with the scientific application of fear and lies rather than the more unpredictable and expensive methodology of bullets and bombs.
So forty years ago, the CIA’s, “Operation Mockingbird,” went into full swing. The goal of the program was simply to control all mechanisms of opinion - the print news, the public opinion polls and the television news media. Their thinking was, if you control what people think, you’ve won the war before it has even begun.
And they have been frighteningly successful at achieving their goal - Since the 1950’s all major news and polling organizations have, to one degree or another, been absorbed into the sphere of control of the intelligence agencies. Now, the hard truth, which is simply too fantastic for most people to believe much less even comprehend in the first place is that the major news media is in actuality, mind controlling, opinion forming, population control mechanisms, and little else.
CNN is such a mind control machine.
CNN Being wholly a government propaganda machine, an organ of the CIA, and indeed as claimed by many in the right as well as left, extraordinarily influenced to the point of near subservience to a Zionist political agenda (more so than any discernible American agenda),
CNN is in charge of faking out the American people and tricking us into thinking there is support for the government, Bush and the war. CNN, Fox and the other government propaganda channels are clear warnings of what these New World Order types have in store for us - lies, war, death, slick 3D graphics, fraudulent polls, fraudulent elections, ominous theme music and dumb newsreaders.
CNN - the masters of the televisual lie.
And so now, the reptilian newsreaders with hairdos and tanning cream at CIA-CNN issue the latest fraudulent poll - 70% of the people support the president. This poll is a lie. It is a fake poll. The polling organizations, Time, Gallop, USA Today, CNN and all the rest of the CIA front companies posing as legitimate news organizations are all controlled by the CIA who themselves answer to the billionaire bankers and industrialists. The function of these fraudulent polls is to get people to conform with what they are tricked into believing that “everyone else” is conforming to. The polls are designed to create your attitudes, not reflect them. It’s called, “push polling,” and it works.
Not in a million years do 70% of the people support the president. People in the big cities have never met anyone who supports this jerk in the White House, yet there is this myth perpetrated by the media that there are these giant pockets of people (presumably hillbillies and rednecks) somewhere (presumably in the “heartland” of America) who are the ones who comprise this overwhelming 70% majority of Bush supporters. But when you look at the map, there just isn’t that many people in the, “hillbilly belt,” to comprise this mythical 70%. And so what does that mean? It means folks that you’re being lied to on a scale you never even imagined possible. That is the biggest scam and biggest secret of today - That there could be such an all encompassing hoax, pulled off right before our eyes - is real. But it is.
The American media is so fraudulent - the communist Chinese or Soviets never dreamed of forcing such preposterous lies down the throats of their people. No Soviet ministry of propaganda ever had the vast resources that the new lie masters have. The Red Chinese never had the prowess to so completely obliterate the truth in real time and retransmit it as utter lies to such a well conditioned and eagerly awaiting obedient sheep-like television viewing audience.
Each reporter knows full well the extent of truth that CNN senior editors will accept (very little) and so they don’t even cross that line into the realm of truth in the first place. They wouldn’t risk submiting a balanced and objective news story because by doing so their career would be finished. Each reporter knows full well, the tight, rigid parameters with which he is permitted to report the, “objective truth.” Each reporter knows that TV news is a game of lies - pure lies.
And the lies work! You really can control the vast majority of American “opinion” with massive transmission towers and cable systems transmitting 24 hour a day lies. That’s how it’s done. If the lie is transmitted over and over and over again, and if the application of fear is constant and conducted with the utmost of scientific precision - people can be transformed into sheep and herded into a corral of fear where they become well behaved, obedient sheep.
So turn off your TV news and forget about the major polls.
Get out in the streets and take them back. Confront these reptiles and sheep among us who are ruining this planet. And attack them.
It’s time to hit the streets and create some ruckus.
There needs to be a massive convergence of protesters at CNN headquarters in Atlanta. CNN will of course barely mention the protest, but their ambitious fellow liars in the other lie machines across the news industry would race to cover such a protest. Even though these other lie machines themselves are CIA controlled just like CNN they will still air the protest - demonstrating that in fact these LieNews organizations are equal parts CIA control, government propaganda, and ratings hungry back stabbing reptiles seething to make a profit for themselves, eager to stab their own kind in the back as long as they could gain one more square inch for their little corner of the big lie.
It is the responsibility of every young person and every seeker of truth and freedom and everyone who wishes for a better world for themselves and families to rise up and fight this REAL ENEMY WITHIN. The lie transmitters must be jammed and there are ways to do this. Jam CNN everywhere and anywhere with every method possible. Confront and disrupt anyway possible all CNN reporters, news trucks, satellite dishes or office buildings.
Steer the discourse towards topics never before even heard of.. New memes need to start surfacing in the worlds press and in the state houses of the worlds governments.
Shift the paradigm of rhetoric. Try a few of these memes on for size. A few headlines we need to start seeing:
“Foreign government seizes the assets of CNN and expels it’s journalists”
“Citizens urge their government to ban all CNN operations within their borders.”
Cut them off at the neck. Here’s a good rhetorical question to plant in foreign forums throughout the world:
“Since CNN is a CIA “front company” shouldn’t we urge our leaders to include a manditory warning label on all CNN/CIA newscasts warning us that CNN is a US government propaganda channel?”
What happened to our truth in advertizing laws?
“Europe jams all US government propaganda channels.”
“Boycotts organized against all advertisers on CNN.”
“Protesters disrupt, for the 20th day in a row, all activities of CNN and it’s advertisers.”
You get the idea.
All free nations or defenders of liberty must make efforts to knock out the capabilities which allow CNN and others like it to propagate the US government lies. Governments need to immediately mount massive public awareness programs warning their people that what they are really up against is nothing more than a massive lie machine and that if the world simply unites against it, and exposes it for what it is, they can knock out these machines of fraud and death quickly. The world must unite to cut them off where they breath. Boycott all advertisers on CNN. Protest and interfere with all activities of CNN and it’s advertisers. Deface their advertisements. And spit on every element of that machine of lies and death. Before they kill you all.
Since news is vital to our mechanisms of consent we need to draft laws assuring that our news companies have not been infiltrated or operated by the CIA. Laws must be enforced requiring an open and auditable mechanism of oversight for all major public opinion machines. (Gallop organization, Neilson ratings group, CNN, Fox and the other machines of lies.) The American attitude and psyche needs legal enforcement of the laws already in place to protect citizens from manipulation by the scientists of deception, whether from intelligence agencies who master such psychological operations or political parties who have adopted the techniques gained from these shadowy agencies to influence or steal elections.
The lie is the enemy.
And no news organization anywhere on earth represents this lie more fully and completely than CNN.
It is the responsibility of individuals to learn the nature of this struggle and organize to stop these fraudulent groups from spreading their terror to the peaceful nations of the earth.
And so it has come down to this: Americans are tricked, by the news media’s lies and fear, into doing the dirty work of oppressing the rest of the world using American bullets and bombs.
But soon after the ruling elite has finished using these deceived American worker ants and foot soldiers for their crusade of plunder they will turn the guns on these same worker ants and foot soldiers because there will come a day when the scientific application of lies and fear will no longer be sufficient to quell the unrest of these sheep and ants. The lie alone will no longer serve it’s function of suppression and will have to be supplemented with the next level, bullets.
When these New World Order murderers have exhausted the usefulness of the American sheep, American worker ants and American soldiers and there’s no more treasure to steal from abroad, when such a time arises that the sheep have nothing left to steal from others and nothing left themselves that is worthy of stealing, then and only then will these ignorant sheep, who supposedly support this crusade, see the fate that awaits them. Then and only then will the sheep see what these New World Order criminals have in store for them. Only then will they see the danger. Only then will the sheep decide that maybe it’s a good time to get off their knees. But by then it will be too late to rise up. For by then the sheep will fully fit within the vastly expanded definition of what a terrorist is. The definition of the word, terrorist by then will include any sheep who decides he wants a better life. It will be the twilight of the sheep - for the elites will find the few remaining thugs, reptiles, and pigs among us who are still ready, willing, eager and able, and pay them to turn the guns on the sheep, and slaughter the lot of them..
I never did like human sheep - so good riddance to them.

CNN can be taken down by the methods you describe. Let's give it a shot. Lets start hammering away at CNN and see what pops up.
Also, thank you Vox for having the courage (balls) to include zionism as one of the the driving forces behind this new world order of lies and war. Journalists are so poisoned by the threat of being smashed over the head with the label of anti-semite that they will ignore the FACTS that are slapping them in the face, that nearly every single media boss and prominent State Department strategist in America is in fact persuing a zionist agenda not an American agenda.
What do you think the significance of the zionist, Richard Pearle, resigning?

Well it seems that there are no commercial interests in the United States who are up to the task of defending democracy against this evil as represented by George W. Bush. Maybe the Chinese will have the courage to start putting the breaks on these New World Order types. In fact, in light of the atrocities that Bush is perpetrating on Iraq, the chinese are in a state of red alert and are actively gearing up for a conflict with the United States.
Thank you Bush for singlehandedly turning a reletively peaceful planet into World War Three.
It would nice if Bush would get prostate cancer or die of some rare pretzel incident.
The world would celebrate!

A good synopsis Vox thanx.
Now we can without doubt see exactly how the Nazi's and Hitler managed to fool the masses and rise to power.
They had a propaganda machine that perhaps set the new standard of the time in disinfo and manipulation of the masses. Or maybe its always been this slick?
Now when you look at the 'main stream one voice talking head media' (cnn,cbs,fox,sky) you can probably be certain that it would have had Goebbels green with envy!
Throw in 'Operation Paperclip' with yer 'Operation Mockingbird' and you could have got the bastard son hybrid 'Neo-nazi News Corp'(NNC).
Hey maybe thats exactly what CNN is but with the letters reversed, CNN=NNC. lol

We sit back, passively, and watch on our TVs as this Bush gang massacres helpless women and children in Iraq. Our passivity, our failure to take DIRECT ACTION against this butchery, makes us GUILTY OF COMPLICITY TO MURDER.
I offer just a single suggestion, gleaned a long time ago from the Anarchist Cookbook.
Buy SUPERGLUE. Identify your target--government office, military or police vehicle, any asset of the fascist cabal which has hijacked the US government. One quick squirt of superglue into a KEYHOLE and you have temporarily disabled use of that door. Sure, they'll call a locksmith and have it all sorted out in a few hours. You strike again. And again. Shut it down, whatever it may be (if it's serving as a tool in the murderers' hands), and BASK IN THE GLORY of having taken DIRECT ACTION against this gang of sadistic man-eating vampires.
Be careful to avoid surveillance. Steer clear of spy cams, strike by night.
If we do this everywhere they'll have trouble keeping it out of their shit-eating "news."
Let's beat these Moloch-worshipping creeps and Calvinist shitbags at their own obnoxious game!

Let's not get to carried away with this "Zionist" crap. The majority of the people running the gov and the media are not Jewish. Don't be stupid and look for scape goats. This sounds as ridicules as getting rid of Saddam is going to rid us of all our problems. Bush isn't Jewish, nor Chaney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Ashcroft, or any of the other Texas Zillionaires club that are running the show. This is about the right wingers and right to lifers who are in control. Not the "Zionists". Wake up!

This comment is in response to the comment above. Have you ever heard of Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle, and Feith?
Or how about the heads of the major media, Sumner Redstone,Micheal Eisner, Norm Pearlstein, Andy Lack...
Guess what idiot - THEY ARE ZIONIST JEWS. WHAT FUCKING PLANET ARE YOU LIVING IN. YOU ARE LIVING IN A DREAMWORLD. That is reality. The Zionists control public opinion.
Time for YOU to wake up - you fucking idiot.
Posted by The Machine @ 03/29/2003 08:24 PM EST
I agree. This massive effort to completely threaten and browbeat anyone who even mentions any criticism of Isreal is Orwellian.
And if you don't believe that jews control the media ask yourself this question.
If ANY OTHER COUNTRY in the world bulldozed over a 23 year old American girl, the media would be screaming to the heavens, but why then, when Isreal bulldozes over and kills a young American girl, there's barely a mention of it in the US (Jewish controlled) media?
Do you have any answers to this question or just accusations of anti-semitism? What's your answer?

CNN mentions the anti war protests.
From the start they show footage of black people (because CNN thinks that Black people don't matter to the majority of American TV viewers.) Most of the people that have attended the protests were in fact white people, however CNN chose to ONLY focus on black protesters. Then suddenly a tall handsome white male enters the camera frame, The camera IMMEDIATLY pans off of the handsome white male and over to an overweight black man in a tee shirt.
Folks this is how it's done. They want you to believe that only black people or dissaffected people (In racist CNN semiotics, black = dissaffected) would attend rallies. See, it's only black people, probably unemployed - Stay at home and watch it on TV, watch it on CNN. STAY AWAY FROM THE PROTESTS. So you don't discover that in those streets are the true Americans. Beautiful people, black and white (actually mostly white), young and old, with prettier babes all around then can be found at the "Pro War " mock rallies. Have you seen these pro war rallies? Yikes!
They don't want you to learn the truth - that a MAJORITY OF AMERICANS hate Bush and are defiance of his criminal war profiteering.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Iraq
March 30, 2003
A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by W. O. Coach
Here I was, innocently making my way to the liquor store to pick
up a fresh supply of groceries, when the portable radio on my
car's passenger seat bleated out a news bulletin that the United
States of America had followed through with it's threat to drop
several tons of ordinance on a bunker in Baghdad, which sorta
rhymes with ragtag.
I had to listen to the news on the portable, because I'd
previously lost it a few days earlier listening to Rush, and took
it out on what was once a perfectly good car radio in excellent
working condition. But that's another story.
Like most people around the world, I'm sure, I asked myself how
in the heck did we get to this? Why in the name of one's personal
favorite religious icon would America want to come crushing down
with all the might of the world's most advanced and sophisticated
weaponry on an isolated tin pot dictator? Yeah sure, he's not a
very nice guy, but a clear and present danger to the United
States of America? He doesn't even control the northern or
southern parts of his own impoverished country. At best, he's
like the Governor of Baghdad.
The news made me so angry, I drove right past the liquor store
and had to make a fancy U-turn to get back to my originally
stated purpose for being in the car in the first place.
As the weight of the news settled in, my anguish turned to one G.
W. Bush and his handlers who were only in position to make this
decision because of a one-time, no precedent allowed decision,
rendered by a blatant 5 - 4 conservative, partisan-leaning
Supreme Court. Talk about the fix being in.
But returning home, happy to know I could put groceries on my
family, a funny thing happened. Was this really Bush's fault?
Sure, he never mentioned Iraq or Hussein during his 2000
presidential run and many suspected the issue became important
only because his approval ratings were plummeting as a result of
his domestic and foreign policy bumbling. And he gave us clues.
Remember, "y'all check my record in Texas" during the debates. I
did and it gave new meaning to atrocious. I can't believe Laura
voted for him. Put George W under oath, and if he is really born
again, he might have to admit he didn't vote for himself either.
The fault as to why we sit where we are, pariahs in the
international community, the real butchers of Baghdad, is not
George W. Bush's fault. Americans would have known better in 2000
if only they had the real story. They didn't because the U. S.
media was complicit in distorting the news. The U. S. media is
the main culprit. They fooled all of us. Why?
Follow the money.
They didn't make Gore look badly because they failed to run
Clinton out of office. They didn't cover for Bush because they
thought he was a homey nice guy. They did it for the money.
Thanks to repealing the Fairness Doctrine, ten companies for the
most part control all the news in the United States. The news
divisions of most media sources were never expected to earn a
profit, until now. War and recession sell. Peace and prosperity
are boring and a non-starter. Instead of just reporting the news,
the media has to fabricate it for ratings to sell advertising.
No?
Explain a right wing bible-thumping tobacco lawyer like Ken Starr
scrounging through every trailer camp in Arkansas trying to find
someone, anyone, who would lie about Clinton's complicity in
Whitewater. Imagine, spending seventy some million dollars to
prove a guy who lost thousands on the deal is a thief. Enter the
liberal rag New York Times. And even after an initial
investigation and two Independent Councils exhonerating the
Clintons, the New York Times is yet to apologize. Liberal biased
media.....puh-leeze.
Don't ask me how, but this brings us back to the invasion of
Iraq. CNN, Fox, MSMBC are 24/7 on Iraq. If it wasn't for Iraq,
what else would they cover? More Clinton?
So here, finally, is the funny thing. I'm not going to watch
cable TV news anymore. I'm not going to watch network news
either. I'm not even going to buy a newspaper. From here on in
I'm going to get my news from the internet. I may check out the
odd newspaper online, or watch movies, but not a single
advertiser is going to get a nickel from my news gathering as
long as the internet is out there and it's free.
I don't recommend this form of protest to anyone else because I
do believe in paying for fair services rendered. But until TV
shows understand that news is news, and that their job is to
report the news and not fabricate it, and advertisers are willing
to support news programs based on that premise, I'm outta here.
Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt people of like mind to contribute to
sites like Bartcop and Buzzflash. MWO too if they'd accept it.
Have a nice day and try not to listen to your car radio between
the hours of noon and three pm ET.

Voxfux: For the record, I am 30 year old Black man and I just wanted to make sure that you are fully informed when you make the type of statment you made above. While the sentiment blacks "don't matter" to the "majority TV viewers" may be true, that's only because of the same controlled media (which we have battled for years) makes sure that sentiment remains by showing the most grossly ill-informed and inarticulate members of our race. This is why informed blacks like myself have always known that there was conspiracy to control public opinion and engender racial hatred and anymosity on both sides. CNN would never put mike in front of me because I would dispell all the bullshit myths about Blacks in this country, with one comment. Why is it that Blacks are synonomous to crack in this country when the Cocaine Import agency (CIA) admitted to bring tons of cocaine into South Central LA? The same controlled media bullshit and we're sick and tired of the lies and the zombies who believe that shit. The fact that this "illusion" persists in the media is a testment to how powerful the US propaganda machine works. I can assure you that there are legions of informed blacks and we know exactly whats going on. We knew about the FBI's (COINTELPRO)unconstitutionl violation of our rights during the sixties and we know about the CIA's criminal Activities todAy. Racism is one of the tools to keep informed citiZens divided, when in actuality we are all at risk to this demonic oligarchy.

A very enlightening read, Vox.
I was watching Fox "News" channel
the other night and some jokester
by the name of Shepherd Smith
repeatedly referred to the Iraqis as 'the terrorists'. Not the iraqi
forces, or the iraqi guerrillas,
or the iraqi army, but 'the terrorists'. So even defending your country and your family when
yours is the country being invaded,
is now a terrorist act.
Posted by Bob @ 03/30/2003 01:35 PM EST
In 1993, after a horrible stock market crash after a great bull market, there was a sudden terrorist incident where the German Reichstag was burned down (turns out it was self inflicted).
The unelected Hitler used homeland security as an excuse to gut the constitution and give himself sweeping new powers to control law enforcement and he used propoganda to hide what he was doing from his own people.
He started invading other countries against the will of the league of nations to build his empire.

CHANNEL:CNN TIME:just before 7:00.The all-night blather was ending and the Paula Zahmbie show was about to air,and as they cut away from Drone X,there was a shot of Zahmbie-staring at the camera like some mind-control experiment.It was SCARY! Oftentimes I'll catch her looking straight at the camera,and no matter if she's smiling or straight-faced,the eyes never lie.I'll be shocked if she isn't part of the CIA mind-control program.If we want to get at the heart of the matter,and perhaps slow down the rush to WWIII,we need to demand a REAL investigation into the events surrounding Sept.11.The space shuttle investigation got $50 million,Ken Starr pissed away $40 million(I forgot what he found out about Clinton,anyway),and the 9/11 "investigation" got an initial budget of...$3 MILLION! If my house burned down and when the inspectors came I asked them NOT TO INVESTIGATE how the fire started,I'd be SUSPECT #1.Many,if not all of the Spewers Of Lies broadcast their morning shows either outside or in front of big windows...a big "INVESTIGATE SEPT.11" sign out there daily MIGHT get them to notice...several HUNDRED or THOUSAND,with little nuggets of curious 9/11-related info(John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial jets some time before 9/11)MIGHT get Americans to start asking some questions themselves.Let's watch the Administration try to explain all the oddities of 9/11...let's bring down this evil regime!

How the fuck does a british channel four reporter fall off a hotel roof in the middle of a war zone in northern iraq. Was he onto something ? perhaps the truth about the kurds, turks and americans and their squabbling over the new ownership of the iraq oil fields. This site and those who visit have the courage to find out.
How will the Media investigate this one ?

To the 30 year old black man..
I think Vox is only saying the blacks don't matter not because he really feels that way but he is only speaking in terms of the white zillionairs views, I think all people matter no matter what race you are. Well with the exception of the zionist they should not matter they are the cause of all the conflict in the middle east and around the world and they are not human anyway they are lowly self serving maggots that are money and power drivin.
I know that their is a huge numbers of black people in north america that are informed and educated and honest so I don't buy into the hype that all blacks are into crack guns and hoes, thats the media selling that tripe and if you look at how many white middle class kids these days try to act and be like the black rap star then you can see the effect of the mass mind control machine and it is a danger to our way of life even as adults. How many have you got that jingle in your head from some stupid commercial that you hate so much? thats what it is thought control even in the smallest form can be fatal.
This machine goes far beyond CNN or others like it look at how many women are getting brest implants so they can feel attractive thats because of the TV and magiziens that even adults read and are affected by it. I am a average white male and for a huge part of my life I thought i was the most ugly thing that walked the face of the earth and that is because every where you look any male on a bus bill board is some huge rich steroid junky. This is not just a womens issue as the hairy leg femmists would have you think it effects us all. I can remember having a debate with my shrink about that very issue and do you think she would agree? no way! cus they are part of it weather they know it or not. Be an editor of the media you read or see and look and see what message is in all the flickers on the screen don't let is suck you in. Ever notice that most people who watch TV me included are in a trance like state? Thats because TV puts out alpha wave patterns and probably beta as well that stimulate the brain. Same as watching the fire place when it is lit or waves on the beach.beware of false profits, blind faith in anything can get you killed.....

I recommend everyone read the articles on the Zionist data page on Rense.com. After reading these articles you will understand that Zionism is not compatible with the Jewish faith. Neither is Israel. Zionism is a political movement only. Check out the website http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com. So it is not a good idea to equate Zionism with Jews or even say that Zionist Jews are in control of the media and the political agenda. The fact is the powerful Zionist are not even Jewish. Just as Bush, Ashcroft, etc. are not Christians. The same with the Islamic Mufti who advocate violent jihad. They are not Muslims. Wake up people.

"One of the prime reasons for creating the Cold War was to justify the creation of a HUGE intelligence community in the 'Free World,' replacing Protestant liberties with Rome's corporate fascism called 'National Security'. To do this, the preservation of Hitler's Nazi intelligence apparatus (financed by the Jesuits' Federal Reserve Bank) was essential. This Jesuit Inquisition would be merged into the American Empire's CIA."
--Excerpt from Vatican Assassins, by Eric Jon Phelps
"General Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's chief intelligence officer against the Soviet Union, had struck a deal with the Americans (called OPERATION SUNRISE)...the principal negotiators were Allen Dulles and William Casey of the OSS, Sir William Stephenson for the British, and SS General Karl Wolff...Their negotiations enabled Gehlen to bring his entire apparatus 'unpurged and without interruption, of the American superpower,' according to the authors of 'The General Was A Spy"...

Vox, did you ever explain what happened to you? Suddenly your voxnyc.com site was gone and there were postings on other sites that one of your homes was raided.
Free speech is paramount and if this is true, it is a travesty.
I was extremely pleased to see it reappear here, but I was hoping to see an explanation from your point of view as to what happened.
There are a lot of people that come to this site that would help you if we knew what was up!

Who is in his/her right mind really believe that CNN is a 'news' channel? I used to watch it; and after only a few months the truth came out by itself. They got editors and such people whose specialty is one-sided reporting, plain and simple.
Yes, CNN indeed used to be a very reliable source of information and news, but it has lost its credibility over time.
The same goes for Fox News. It used to be an average news channel, until wealthy zionists bought it and completely changed its direction to become another tool for false reporting.
No wonder people turn to Al Jazeera news channel for a little closer look at what's really happening in Iraq these days. I've heard that even the American military personnel stationed in that area depend on it for their info.
It really strikes me very bad how the average American so believes in literally everything CNN says, without bothering to check its validity or credibility.
One last note. I agree with Joe on that Zionism is NOT a Jewish movement. The terrorist state of Israel is NOT a Jewish state. There is no way for anyone to claim that Israel represents world Jewry.

Sun Tzu said: "Know your enemy."
It is very important that you watch CNN along with the alternative news because you have to know what the government wants you to believe. Once you know that, you can assume the opposite is true. Plus, CNN is always good for a laugh when they so blatantly lie. CNN has become a tabloid, sort of like the "National Examiner" of TV news.

We need to combine our outrage at the media with the content ripping and sharing movement. If we rip every movie and album, burn DVDs and share them at parties and schools and dinners and work, and make sure that our friends stop financing the Media/Deception Networks, we can make a massive blow to their bottom line. We subsidize the lies they feed us with the profits they earn from our purchases from them.

Of course CNN & NYT & ABC are CIA. That's what CIA stands for: Centralize media Intelligence Agency. If I was part of the ruling class I would do the same thing. If there was an "independent" station, like KPFA claims to be, I would just pay long hair Nationalist CIA agents like Dennis Burnstein to infiltrate the station. Which the CIA did. I would let them rant about the misdemeanor crimes of the CIA, but I would prevent them from talking about the felony crimes, like CIA Bush Sr's ambush of JFK, King & RFK. Please notice that KPFA will never allow anyone to talk about how Bush & Hunt executed JFK just like a military firing squad in Dallas.
Ever wonder why KPFA bans such talk? Larry Bensky has centralized that issue under his wing & forbids it to be discussed. Hummmmm? When do we get to see copies of the CIA paycheck Bensky gets from the CIA?

Great article, vox. I got linked here from whatreallyhappened.com, another great site. I agree with what I'm hearing about the news and it's manufacturing by the corporate media. Personally, I am so grateful to all of you that visit here, that post here, that think here. It is nice to not be alone in seeing this country that we live in (referring to the US) for what it really is. The truth about the zionist control of the media, the race games. I'm a young African-American male in Atlanta that grew up listening to CNN non-stop being that my pops is a news junkie. I always thought that it was weird how we could be bombing cities and somehow never killing many people.
I always thought it weird how many people couldn't find Kuwait on a map if there lives depended on it but they know the speed, range, weight and every other parameter of a Patriot missile. I came to the realization that the "news" was a complete and total joke. It was a staggering realization as most people know absolutely nothing about anything that happens in the world. Then the small percentage that think they know and that lead the other sheeple, get it all from CNN or FOX or MSNBC or one of the other 24/7 propaganda channels. So seeing communities like you guys is uplifting, although, I'd still be out on the streets if you guys disappeared today. This truly is a battle of paramount importance.
About the race game that is played, I recommend EVERYONE go to www.racetraitor.org and really check out that site. If you've been there you know how mind-blowing it is, if not, check it. There is no such thing as race. The entire idea is just a scam, a racket, a tool used to get a large group of people to check their morality at the door in exchange for a pass that gives unearned privileges for life. Go to the site. And don't just browse, it's serious.
Keep It Up Everyone

That's right - Zionism is NOT a Jewish movement. I know many Jews that are against the philosophy of Zionism, they despise it as much as we do. So, please, let us not make the same mistake that Hitler did during World War 2 and started killing off all the Jews. People who do that seem to have a misconception about the whole picture. "Kill them all, let God sort them out" will not work in this case, even with Zionists because
THEY, THE ZIONISTS, ARE ALSO CONTROLLED BY THOSE IN POWER ABOVE THEM!
There are certain people in the world, who due to their beliefs and ambitions (as well as abilities that we, "civilized" humans call "supernatural" - which is only due to the way we live and rely on technology rather than our natural abilities) have been doing this trick, this game of chess on the grand scale for thousands of years. That's right, there's no eternal Heaven or Hell - there's a free choice of reincarnation or ability to stay on the different plane. And those people have very BAD intentions for the world. Like to see if "GOD" actually exists and will manifest himself before the world when these people push it to the brink of nuclear war.
I know this information is controversial and 'out of tune', but the occult knowledge has been used for thousands of years by different people and leaders. Most of them just don't know enough how to come back and continue living with all their awareness and knowledge that they've collected through previous lives. There are exceptions. To these people hypnosis of one person is too easy of a job. However, if you manage to hypnotize a few high-office leader personalities, say over a distance, all you would have to do is just lay back and watch the show that you've made. It's easy - parents propagate to their children what they have learned from their parents, and the children will keep on spreading the message to their children.
Well, this is the generation when this circle breaks. Many of us, due to technology advances and increased information are able to share and access many sources of knowledge that are not controlled by those, who don't want this knowledge to be known. Too bad. We do. And we'll wake people up. That's what everyone has been doing already!
Read, research and find as much as you can about "THOUGHT POWER". That was one of the best-kept secrets on the planet for hundreds of years. People have been told what to believe, how to behave, what to follow and so forth. Now, when the first "mind pioneers" appeared and shared their knowledge and information with the world, it's hard to control that secret. Companies that sell the affirmation tapes and self-empowering materials are simply charging people for one simple law:
"OUR LIFE IS WHAT OUR THOUGHTS MAKE IT"
This is how the world came to the state it is now. And this is how it's run. You feed the idea to people, they think, emit energy waves of a certain frequency and when joined together it sooner or later manifests in reality. Think 'fascism', 'communism', 'war', 'peace' - they are all ideas that came from one individual and were learned, supported and spread by others. Look around you. Every object that you see that is not alive or part of nature has been created by a THOUGHT! First came the idea (to make a counting machine, for example), then came the workings and detailed planning, material gathering, production and implementation. Bang - you've got a calculator in your hand. It is a material thought of another person. Think about it.
On the same note, thoughts precede words. So, if the thought is powerful enough, the so is the word. Hitler during his speeches utilized occult techniques to attribute more energy to his public speaking and that's why public demonstration were such a favourite way to inform the German people. Witnesses say, how they felt the tremendous power and awe when they were listening to him. Think about any big spiritual leader or even any other public speaker and you can feel their energy too. Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa - people listened to them way more than just an average Joe from midland USA. Those people knew and realized the power of thought. "Seek, and ye shall receive" is another example of this law - how many of you remember wanting something really bad, fully believing in it, not letting fear crawl into your head. I'm sure there are lots of things that you have achieved that were a result of your belief and thought. If it's not the case, then maybe someone DOES have VERY strong control over your life and you should get it back. ;)
So, words have energy too. When it's combined, drop by drop you've got a sea. And with that sea the people behind it all, the ones that exploit Zionism as their scapegoat for the world, manage to control us all by channeling it to appropriate locations and use it to empower themselves in the acts that they do. The world war has started from a simple idea and an action - it happened thousands of years ago (let's say when Cain killed Abel) and ever since then it has been propagated, executed and exploited in many different ways and forms. Yeah, they could afford to take breaks from the creation of wars, since there was nothing else to counterbalance the energy created by the thought of war. First world war was just a continuation of that thought but on a different scale, different time. Somehow everyone was enraged and ready to fight. So they fought, but the ending of it was carefully crafted, so that WW2 would happen out of misery and despair forced upon the people of Germany. And WW2 did happen, and even more people have supported the idea of 'war'. The first nuclear device was used unnecessarily to test the mass-destruction capability for the next available opportunity to go to war.
PEOPLE! Pay attention to your words now. World War Three is NOT here, so why are you talking about it like it is? All that's happening is that USA and a pack of others are trying to squish a little oil-rich country. That's NOT a World War Three. STOP thinking that, pay attention to the PRESENT TIME, don't create your future full of nuclear explosions.
Imagine peace, everyone going home, soldiers coming back. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? But no, all those websites, the media, everyone is hyping up the ideas, the thought that will yield more destruction. WHY ARE YOU BELIEVING THAT? Is that because there is nothing else for you to believe but to know that there will be a World War Three? Well, guess what? "You reap what you sow". People who will want more war will get war. And the more you think about it, the stronger the likelihood of getting what you want.
There is a very wise saying that governs the life we live. "Quantity becomes Quality". Musicians start by playing single notes, they practice more and more and then they can play complicated pieces. Do you play a hard piece first time you seat at a piano? No, unless you know how.
By repetition you create reality. That's why CNN is propagating images of war, suffering, hate and it is starting to feel as there is no other way around it. Becase that EXACTLY their intention - to make you and obedient sheep that not only lives, works and pays taxes to support the leaders financially, but also to milk the mental energy from you, the energy of fear, of despair, so that the leaders, the true leaders of the world, can be supported energetically.
I agree with Vox, throw away your TV set, don't watch CNN unless you have the power to look at the images and not be affected by them. As long as you think peace, talk peace and support peace there won't be a chance that you'll support war. And if you don't support war, then you obviously create a happier and a harmonious world for everyone.
Don't blame Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield or anyone else. They are also playing the game that they have been assigned. They think that they are in control of everything, but that's not true. Thoughts of conquest, robbery and murder have been created by individuals long time ago. All these leaders are doing is acting them out. AGAIN. They are the scapegoats for the REAL leaders. However, people don't know that, they should not know that, so all the dirt, hate and that energy goes towards the leaders of the country. CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY WHAT EFFECT IT HAS ON THEM? I can't. However, I have every reason to believe that with every negative thought that people think about them, the opportunity of these leaders to sign the law that will yield greater damage to the people rises. "Our life is what our thoughts make it". If people think that Bush, being the 'leader' is a murderer and a dictator - *cha-ching* that's what they get. THAT'S THE PLAN! It makes it easier to control these 'leaders' when the public energy is sided with those who try to run the scene behind it all. That's exactly when the 'leaders' will sign the very laws that give them such a bad name.
It's a circle. You think bad - you receive bad. When you recieve bad - you start to think even worse. When you think worse - you receive even worse. Your life is what your thoughts make it. WHEN WILL YOU STOP??? NOW. STOP NOW. START THINKING PEACE.
P.S. If you want something to have in front of your eyes to think of peace visit http://www.attractinggenuinelove.com/peace1.html It will definitely help. No, it's not my website, nor someone I know. It's just something that exists out there for others to know. ;)
PP.S. Sorry for the condense information and the slogans, strong words, etc. It's time to wake up and see the simple magic of life that's all. If you don't believe me or anything that I've wrote here, fine, research into 'positive thinking' on your own accord. But please, if you don't know the effect of words in the world, maybe you should refrain from chanting "No to War!". Saying "Yes to Peace" creates a different message and gives the energy to a different word. That's all for now. Thanks, everyone! Peace to all!!!

By the way. To those that actually believe that zionism has nothing to do with Jews, did you ever think that group of jews who are so heavily "anti-zionism" could be there just to decieve you? Apparently they've done a great job. Zionism is just another name for pan-Jewry and the jews that you have met that hate Zionism are nothing more than a few self-hating Jews. Some of you are on the right track but not quite there. Since I've seen some edgy links thrown around, try going to www.anti-semitism.net

I have a question for the 30 year old educated black man. What African University did you obtain your education? The most violent blacks are the light-skinned educated ones. Does anyone remember what the educated blacks did to Virginia Beach a few years, ago? Whenever the Jew media shows a mob rioting, they always show the White college kids. When the Blacks rioted in LA, Seattle, Cincinnati, Mobile, and Virginia Beach, the Jew media was silent. During each of these riots the cameras only focused on any Whites they could find. Educated Blacks will not solve our problems. Educated Blacks will only want to mate with white women. I would rather live among poor, decent White folks, than rich, educated Blacks, anyday.
Posted by Holocaustdenier @ 03/31/2003 04:46 AM EST
Yeah, we all know that Zionism is a Jewish creation and has its roots deep into Talmud - the Judaic Religious text that divides the human population into 'gentiles' (Jews) and 'goyim' (Everyone else - scum of the earth). It was the Jews, who were assisted in controlling the planet for thousands of years. That's not news. People, who would think otherwise are just afraid of the truth because it's right there in their eyes.
However, the idea behind Zionism is that ONLY SOME Jews thought of that, not every single one of them just came up with the idea and jumped onto the wagon. Some, who think the same way as we do actually truly resent it. Not everyone supports innocent slaughter of other people and the destruction of people's lives economically.
Do you think that every single American is responsible for the dictatorships that the CIA has installed in foreign countries, the terrorist attacks that were done by the American personell in those countries to pursue the planned agenda? No, I would not think so. Same is with Jews - just becase they are Jews does not automatically mean that they are Zionists. Do you think that American supports the murder that's going on in Iraq?
Yes, there are some Jewish Zionists that try to play the 'diversion' tactics and deny all responsibility and promote the 'innocent Jew' image. Only when you can truly tell by knowing people when they are lying and then they are now, you will be able to make a reasonable call if they support Zionism or not.
I know at least one Jew who genuinely believes that Zionism is a sick idea. She is not welcomed by the 'official' rules that govern the life of Jews, but that does not mean she will sit down and watch massacres, robberies and rape of nations happen in the name of 'Greater Israel'.
P.S. If you think that EVERY SINGLE JEW WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTION IS EVIL AND WITH THE ZIONISTS, you've been reading the truth too much. Get out, meet some REAL people, talk to them, get to know them and then you'll have a better picture. If not, perhaps, you should consider if you are still mentally sane. There's a real world with real people that have real beliefs and real thoughts about the world. Not everyone is living on the computer screen. ;)

Well having watched CNN, BBC World and Sky at various points over the last two weeks I would say that the one that gave the most coverage to the peace protests was CNN. They actually had footage of a large crowd of young people singing "CNN tell the truth", and to be fair commented on it without bias.

I believe that the "70%" support for Bush is a lie, and it is repeated over and over as a control mechanism, just as you described. BUT, I also believe that as things stand right now Bush would be reelected with that same 70% margin, because all the computerized voting machines installed since the last election cycle are easily controlled by the ZOG. It already has happened in Georgia, for example, where Cynthia Mckinney and other enemies of the ZOG were defeated. In Nebraska Hagel got 83% of the vote, according to the computerized voting machines that his company's subsidiary installed.
They know they are despised, and they are prepared. There is no hope to get rid of them the way things are now.

Very enlightening! Although not exactly NEWS. For more than many of you guys been around, I have known the 'works' of the nefarious CIA, lap dogs of the filthy rich, psychopaths with a federal badge, with a finger in probably every major crime in the world, and with full sanction from the 'government' of this country. The mass media 'government' outposts are crammed with moles from the military, CIA, and the Zionist conspiracy. We.... no, YOU hear and see only what the Controlers want you to see. I shut down my TV several years ago, after realizing the massacre at Waco was 'government' organized, sanctioned, and covered up. By 9-11, I KNEW they allowed it. Then I found out on the Net, they DID IT. We are living a nightmare, and to realize there are so many IDIOTZ out there who stoopidly wave a flag to the Monkey in the House and dare harrass the anti-war (pro-peace...) people, really turns my stomach. One thing is being born stoopid, but then another is showing off about it. By the way, the power of the mind, awareness, and hightened consciousness of ordinary people, is what the tyrants and despots of old feared most. Everything begins with a thought, or a dream. 'Our thoughts ARE things'... so verse ancient wisdom. While 'positive thinking' is good for the mind and soul, and the end results we seek, thinking 'good' about the deranged Monkey in the House WILL NOT change the individual's mentality. He was BORN defective. We cannot heal him, even if we tried. Instead, we ALL can visualize the idiot being handcuffed and taken to prison for crimes against this country, its citizens, its constitution, and for crimes against the world. Together with his troupe of criminal deviates. And THAT we can make it happen. For it is karmically deserved. You cannot heal a rabbid dog. There is no cure for deviate madmen. Lock'em up and throw the key in the gutter. Let the lesson be learned by the next would-be traitors and genocidal mass murderers in this country and the world.

None So Blind...
30 March 2003, Arab News
An Iraqi in a taxi containing explosives has become the first known suicide bomber of the war to succeed in taking some of the US invaders with him. By itself, his attack is simply another bit of bloodletting in this unnecessary war. But what makes the event so significant is not that it happened (though the fact that it did will be causing considerable unease among America and its allies), but the way in which Washington has reacted to this slaying of at least four of its soldiers.
The cry has gone up from the American camp that suicide bombings are the acts of terrorists, therefore this attack proves, beyond all doubt, the long-argued American case that Iraq is a terrorist state. Thus Washington was right all along to invade, and the sooner Saddam Hussein can be put out of business, the safer the world will be.
There is none so blind as they that won’t see.
This ignorant and deeply stupid analysis just about sums up the level of what seems to pass for serious thought in George W. Bush’s White House.
Put aside for a moment the obvious objection that had there been no invasion in the first place, there would have been no suicide bombing in reaction to it, terrorist or otherwise — in other words, that the proof of this particular pudding was not in the eating — and bring the debate to a level that the current mindset of the US administration is more attuned to.
Imagine instead that one of Davy Crockett’s men had volunteered to charge a wagonload of explosives out of the fort and straight into Santana’s forces surrounding the Alamo, in an attempt to break the Mexicans’ aggressive resolve. Would not that man now be high in the pantheon of US heroes? Indeed are not Davy Crockett himself and the rest his volunteers roundly honored for their bravery and self-sacrifice, which held off an invader long enough for his campaign to lose momentum and falter?
Were Davy Crockett and his men terrorists for throwing away their lives in a hopeless action against vastly superior might? If an American answers that they were not, then he is accepting that neither was the Iraqi suicide bomber in his taxi.
Davy Crockett is a hero to the Americans. Every citizen remembers the Alamo. Can Washington therefore appreciate that the Iraqi in the taxi is going to be a hero as well, when his name and his self-sacrifice become known, and that he will be a hero not just in Iraq but throughout the Arab world ?
If they can imagine this, maybe the Bush White House will go the extra intellectual mile and understand that the guy in the taxi in Iraq was no more laying down his life for his president in Baghdad than the guy in the raccoon hat was dying for his president in Texas. Both men chose to die because they loved and wanted to defend their homeland. An attack against one Texan or one Iraqi was an attack against all Texans and all Iraqis.
But America of course cannot ascribe to its enemies the noble and decent motives it is happy to honor among its own heroes. For Washington, there can be no equivalence between Iraqis and Americans. Yet consider this: One of them has a warmongering, bloodthirsty president, elevated to his position in a sham election, who is happy to slaughter innocents to promote his world vision. The other has Saddam Hussein.

Hi 'VOX ' -
You at www.voxfux.com and 'Ewar ' at www.codshit.com and Steve Devoy at WWW.stop-fascism.org/, Tom at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ ,and Mike Rivero at www.whatreallyhappened.com/ all are running extremely complex well programmed sites that are updated daily. You ALL also tell as much TRUTH as you can.
We want to Believe in you and your sincerety. And you have a good response counter to such a doubt - which would be:"Listien! Would I or any of these other guys be telling so much Truth - if we were Gov. Front sites?? That would be incredible!"
That seems true. That does seem for the most, part to settle doubts about sites speaking so much Truth - yet there are the rare occasional extreme unsubstantiated assertions on each of these sites - (usually coming from the 'readers') that once in a great while come from the hosts, [for instance you link to ICKE and his 'reptilian' species that he says rule the earth , My God!] that tend to invalidate them - somewhat. I don't think such assertions are problem - I have made some such myself.
But look::::: HERE is what I worry about. Each site asks for donations. I OFFER donations but only via the postal service because I don't do credit cards and I don't do any electronic financial stuff at all. I don't even do banking. I use cash or money orders. So - SO!! On ASKING TWO of the above sites for a postal way to send funds - I get NO ADDRESS to which to send funds OR IF I Do - I get No EMAIL to CONTACT the site manager as in the case of STEVE DEVOY who runs stop-fascism. I very much believe in STEVE but I don't like the Idea of sending money to his postal address without any way to talk to him except by snailMail letter. No Site Host in his senses is going to attempt to answer hard-copy letters. It must be enough trouble to answer a hundred Posts a day.
OK - so I have had that problem of no Email address for Steve at stop-fascism, and a non-response or Delay on my hardcash offers to some others?
THIS IS NOT REASONABLE. FOR CLEARLY THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES KNOW WHO RUNS YOUR SITE AND ALL THESE SITES - and WHERE YOU ARE. THEY WOULD BE FOOLS NOT TO - AND THEY MAY BE Dictatorship Supporters and Will to Economically DESTROY PEOPLE FOR SAYING THINGS - BUT THE GOVERNMENT DICTATOR SQUADS ARE NOT STUPID.
SO THEY KNOW YOU - AND WHERE YOU ARE. SO IF AN OCCASIONAL BACK TO EARTH Type like myself asks to Send $ to a postoffice box of yours [ EVEN IF I MIGHT USE SOMEONE'S CHECKING ACCOUNT TO DO THAT ] WHY NOT GIVE OUT THAT BOX ON REQUEST TO RECEIVE FUNDS TO SUPPORT ONE'S SITE? YOU SEE ? THERE IS SOMETHING NOT LOGICAL GOING ON HERE. SOMETHING VERY QUESTIONABLE. SITE HOSTS WHO TELL ME TO WAIT ON SENDING $$ TO A POSTAL ADDRESS OR WHO SIMPLY DON'T GET BACK TO ME ON THAT.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS? I could offer support from several people.
NOW - NEXT QUESTION - HOW DID THE PEOPLE WHO HOST AND RUN THESE SITES GET THE *MONEY* AND EXPERTISE TO DO THIS?
AND HOW DO THEY GET THE *TIME* TO DO THIS? IT TAKES ME HALF AN HOUR TO WRITE A LETTER LIKE THIS. Yet those who runs sites like yours always reply in the first person on the boards - and don't inform us that there are other people WORKING at the site - or if there are - HOW DO THEY HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP THESE SITES UPDATED AND RUNNING?
I will say again - what I said above. YOUR site and those others are of the HIGHEST QUALITY ON THE NET for EFFICIENCY of programming And TRUTHFUL Material.
But the Large amount of $ -and I have looked into Hosting my OWN such site - [And was Quoted from $10,000 to $15,000 as the sum charges from the Web designers and Hosting Companies and was told that that was a Bargain] - and looked into the TIME required to keep them Current - do paper work and answer inquiries - a Full 8 to 10 hour day minimum. - In order to GO AHEAD WITH YOU FULL STEAM with $ and work and support - We must know the answer to these questions. And let's be realistic - asking such questions as I have in a post is NOT the way the gov agencies get their Info.
Now My Reply to the jejune manure kickers who for lack of any intellect of their own, desperately critic spelling typos from you or Vox - My Reply to those incompetents is:: "Yes! OK - my impaired Conformist friends VOX and some others may not concern themselves with spelling errors. All right: you can use 'spellcheck and they can THINK. I believe that they will take that trade off."
Now a QUESTION for you. My Emails to activists, Arabic newspaper editors and socialists sites - are now being tracked and corrupted as to certain letters and words - right when they are sent. Certain letters are REPLACED in more than several words - and Certain PHRASES are left out. I go back to the original document that they were taken from and I send them from a false Email at the library and they go through perfectly.
Then I send them from MY email at the Library and they are corrupted in words and phrases again. So it is clear I am government HACKED and Tracked.
What do you think I should DO about this? The government is destroying my ability to send out political opinions.
If you want an example of my 'radical' opinions that they have Hacked I will post them on your site - when I figure out how to join the posts on here.
I think that you can see that I am highly supportive of what you are doing on here - Very impressed in fact - And very suspicious of the ease with which you do it - and the untroubled way that after they have 'attacked' for instance VOX that he can easily start up again.
You have brilliance - therefore you have read Eric Arthur Blair's "1984" . Before O'Brian led Winston to prison and torture - O'Brian appeared to be one of the most sincere and active Organizers of the Resistance to the Dictatorship. But he kept numerous things about himself secret from Winston. Then the government Squads came for Winston.
We can only be sure that you aren't 'O' Brian' if you let those who wish to Fund you and support you have a way to Really connect with you.
The government already knows all about you - because you are an enterpeneur on the Net. It may or may not be interested in your posters - unless of course you are an agency of the government. I am in contact with Paul Donahue who was arrested for a free speech not in his baggage at San Jose Airport. They could do that to Paul because he was just a guy - like me - speaking out On His Own.
Can we support you in hardcash by mail? And will you connect with some of us who want to help you in real life?

Why blame the U$ ruling class? Poor chaps are merely trying to prevent another GREAT DEPRESSION using a military version of Keynesianism? Ask Alan Greenspan and his Plunge Protection Team. Any oil producing country which prices its oil in EUROS will be targetted by the U$ rulers as well. Unfortunately, people all over the world think the average U$ citizen is a war-monger. If only they knew that the U$A is controlled by the motherfuckers on Wall Street and the oil men from Texas....

There was a HUUUGE protest at CNN HQ in Atlanta when Bush was at the peachtree center in January of 2002. All the media was there but no mention of the protest.
I'm of the opinion that it's too late the fix things, so let's speed up the process so it doesn't take as long for people to wake up.
Posted by StephenV @ 03/31/2003 11:42 AM EST
Best thing to do is not to go around and say that CNN needs to be taken down. They will simply say that protestors are against Freedom of the Press and that will be that.
What needs to be done is the spreading of the truth. Create alternate news sources, pass out flyers and leaflets and let people know that companies like CNN and Fox and the major news networks are simply lying to them. Challenge their poll results. Show how fraudulent they are on their coverage.
Most of all though, companies like this just need to be bankrupted.
Cost them money. By alerting people that CNN is fraudulent, you can also tell them that they are supporting fraud by supporting their advertisers.
In the end, it is all about ratings. Urge people to turn them off and to consider alternate news sources.
Attack their data and their methods. But don't attack the fact that they are broadcasting-- they will turn it around on you and you will look bad.

insanity derives from diet
all food is a drug
soap and fertilizer are destroying lakes
we are afraid of our own feces, rightly so
we poison "weeds" with the fastest moving poisons available [herbicide gets into water at a blinding rate compared to pesticide]
it's municipal policy
we should eat them instead, as our jaws move sideways.
every other creature on the face of the earth whose jaws move sideways eats grasses and weeds mainly, no meat.
protein in doses over 1% by weight[the amount found in human milk -not rats, who have 50% approx] will induce aggression, cause calcium excretion [do you like needing a dentist?)colon cancer and stink etc.
fibrous protein, unlike globular [plants], comprises flesh and is not water soluble. it festers in herbivores. So we flush and soap unitl the lakes are dead, worrying about who likes who...
yes we can keep hoping for colon cancer to redeem our violent ones
meanwhile cooked food leaches throught the skin of anyone deluded enough to eat what comes packaged in materials accumulating beyond any sense of need, the discomfort manifests as bickering etc., a small price to pay for poisoning yourself
tomatoes, eggplant, cauliflower have all 8 [or 9 now]essential protiens [and they're not fibrous]
humans digest by chewing first, not meat eaters, they swallow and gorge, with a digestion tract one third the length of herbivores by ratio [herbivores 10x body length -carnivores 3x body length] and stomach acid 3x more potent than ours
have some maalox - president bush
can't wait till they amputate your asshole- and this happens to human who gorge on flesh ,starting with hemmorroids...moving towards colon cancer -see, meat eaters lick their own anuses, not like humans.the acid and undigested proteins dripping from a human arse must be licked by another human.
Gee. aren't we advanced.
peanuts and soy cannot be eaten by humans unless cooked. both are way too high in protein [30% like meat, just globular. the use of fire has really messed up health due to menu it creates.
protien is a macro nutrient.our bodies build macro nutrients from micro nurients. when we force the breakdown of proteins in our bodies to aquire micro nutrients there is a lot of waste -hence pollution, toxicity....
soldiers are given extra rations meat before battle. aggression and protein have been linked for a long long time- it was even in the news a few times.
when we eat food that is difficult to digest our immune systems get boosted by the easiest button to push --that is irritability. We fight and do not feel healthy enough to be peaceful-it was meant to be that way.
by the way,
don't use toilet paper -it is an insult to our organic [tree] relatives
after all we are all carbon based
and that is not natural
besides there is no shortage of water in a bathroom
thou shalt not kill was meant to remind us how to eat
plants don't die when we eat properly
we don't get all aggressive and stupid
when hitler heard einstein was vegetarian he became one
einstein was one because newton was
newton was because pythagorus was
"pure contemplation" could not be achieved , pythagorus believed, eating meat or beans [both very high in protein -how did they know? those ancient greeks
oh well, now you know why math is mainly to be avoided in universities, and why philosophy has stood still --we'd rather bicker and gorge and then go to hospital than deal with the real issues such as possesion\inheritance
p.s a diet of fruit, leaves, vegetables does not require 8 glasses of water per day - bottled or not
THE REAL ENEMY IS PACKAGING, TRANSPORT
it is responsible for more death than we care to know

All of you have excellent comments to say and I'm happy to see that you all see the truth and corruption behind our lives. Like it was said earlier, the Zionists are giving Jews bad names, the bin Ladens are giving muslims bad names and the Bushs are giving Christians bad names. We need to learn to separate these facts. This is what they are trying to do. They are trying to get us to blame it on religions so that we can't see who is really behind it.
As far as the media goes. It's much bigger than just the channels. It's the companies that provide the channels. DirecTV, Comcast, Dish Network etc. They are all Zionists as well. If you don't believe me. Create a channel and ask them if they will broadcast it on their system for you?????
Again, it's great to see you all here united against the evil ones. But there needs to be more done. Martin Luther King didn't just write letters to people showing them how bad things were. He took action. He grouped the people together and took action!
This is what we need to do! Let's all get together and take action.

It seems that the Jews, Blacks, Arabs and Orientals have been educated in Universities in White countries. Educated Blacks are the worst kind. The Jew media tries to conceal, when Blacks go on a rampage. The Jew media didn't show much of the riots of the Blacks in recent years. The educated Blacks destroyed Virginia Beach a few years, ago. The media didn't give much coverage, when the Blacks rioted in Seattle, Mobile, and Cincinnati. It seems the Jew media tries to explain that the Blacks are rioting, because the Honky has done something to them. Blacks cry that the Cops don't care about their Black neighborhoods, but when a White Cop tries to arrest a Black drug dealer, the Jew media never tires of printing, "Unarmed Black Shot by White Cop". They never mention that the Black was a felon and that he resisted arrest. The Jew media is responsible for flaming the rioting by the way they slant the news and the government should make them pay for this, but Jews not only control the media, they control government too.

If i was a "educated" blackman I would do a hell of alot more than trash some beaches in Virginnia! Any thinking black person would be entirely within his rights to storm the whitehouse and hang all of it's occupants.
And it is not the Jew media... it's the zionist media. Uneducated white people like you are pretty scary too. your average jew in the US doesn't even know what a zionist is.

March 31, 2003
As an ex-combat infantryman from the Vietnam War I, along with many of my grunt brothers (including Oliver Stone who was in the next hootch over and made a movie called Platoon many years later about our experiences in Nam) are disgusted with our government's cavalier attitude toward human slaughter. You go to war because you have to, not because you want to. We want our soldiers home now and we want answers as to why we wanted to go over there in the first place. God only knows we didn’t have to. If any soldier in Nam had done what President Bush is doing, he would have been court-martialed. So why is the US getting away with it? This remake of the first War on Iraq will make Mi Lai look like the Peace Corp.
What Bush is doing in Iraq is flat out illegal. He is in violation of the same United Nation Charter he exploits to impugn Saddam Hussein for violations. I looked up the Charter on the Internet the other day, something I encourage everyone to do. I counted at least 18 articles Bush is currently violating by going to war with Iraq. Our President and his minions of malleable morons are ripping apart every stitch of decency that this country has stood for during the past 250 years
France and other nations of compassion tried to stop this unjustified war. Their efforts have not made them and the UN irrelevant. It is the United States of America that is becoming increasingly irrelevant in today’s world where mutual cooperation and respect are essential for world peace.
For those who say Bush went the extra mile for diplomacy, they are living in a dream world. Bush never took that first step. Bush’s idea of diplomacy was never to give Saddam a chance to disarm. It was to coerce and bribe the coalition of the “unwilling” to join his bloodbath. Nothing that Saddam ever did to comply with 1441 was good enough for Bush.
Bush and his followers have devolved into bloodthirsty bullies. Many have been impatiently waiting for months for their ultimate vicarious thrill of popcorn munching, reality TV war. To this subhuman class of protoplasm, the war is sheer entertainment. These chickenhawks want to hear the big BOOM, but nobody wants to die. The frenzy is certainly on to kill a lot of "rugheads" over in Iraq. But why Iraq and why the frenzy to kill "rugheads" now?
Although a majority of Americans believe otherwise, Saddam and his “rugheads” have done nothing to us, no verbal threats, had nothing to do with 911, have not been found to have any weapons of mass destruction or nucular (sic, Bush’s pronunciation) capability, and do not harbor terrorists. The CIA has said repeatedly that there are no links between terrorist organizations and Saddam Hussein. If there are any terrorists in Iraq they are not linked with Saddam Hussein. They are the al-Ansar branch of the al-Queda in Northern Iraq, where the Kurds live under their own hegemony and outside any control of Saddam Hussein.
Ironically Kurdish males by the hundreds have joined up with al-Ansar yet we consider them our allies. We also consider the Turks our allies although the Turks and Kurds hate each other. The Turks have tortured Kurdish prisoners in the most inhuman ways imaginable for years. A recent escapee posted sketches and descriptions of tortures he had endured on the Internet. One was called “the scales” whereby a naked prisoner had to lift his fellow prisoner up by his penis to “weigh him”, thus the “scales”. Turkish guards found this and many other sadistic brutalities amusing. Still, the U.S. considers Turkey our bosom buddy.
I am so sick and tired of hearing the chorus (Bush, Fleischer, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, et al) echo that tired old mantra “for the past 12 years Saddam has done nothing to disarm”. Nothing could be further from the truth. As weapons inspectors from the 1990’s have testified, 90-95% of the weapons of mass destruction were destroyed from 1991 through 1998. Furthermore, significant disarmament has taken place since UN Resolution 1441 was passed last November when Saddam obligingly and cooperatively readmitted weapons inspectors. There are a multitude of countries who are much more of a nuclear and biological threat than Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction are obviously a pretext for Bush’s war anyway. It is so transparent to those of us who have taken the time to do some independent research on this war because we haven’t gotten it from the biased, conservative media. Even NPR and the main three TV networks, always noted for their liberal slant, have kowtowed to Bush for fear of losing their audience and consequently commercial sponsors.
The media/government complex has also worn thin that old mantra “Saddam is in violation of 16 UN Resolutions.” Few of those who condemn Saddam for violating the UN Resolutions have ever bothered to read them. It is like someone who uses a big word without knowing its definition. In fact, the so-called violations of the UN Resolutions are very petty; i.e. Iraqis were late for a scheduled inspection by a few minutes. An inspection was rescheduled because of a conflict with a holy day; Iraq refused admission to inspectors to certain sacred holy mosques; irate farmers protested some of the inspectors for ridiculously inspecting their farms; and then there was the time Iraq refused to permit flyovers for reconnaissance purposes fearing that the inspectors were actually CIA spies. Most of these violations were no more than minor differences that could have been handled on the spot before the Whitehouse spin masters turned sand dunes into mountains.
If you choose to go to the Internet and read the violations, please make note that since Resolution 1441 last November Iraq has redressed all of the violations from the past 12 years that Bush keeps harping on. In addition to remedying the past violations, Iraq has not committed any new violations. Hans Blix has said on a number of occasions that Iraq fully cooperated and has been “proactive” in the disarmament process. What more could the UN or the US want?
Since Resolution 1441 last November Iraq has destroyed over 60 el Samoud missiles, performed substantive actions to detect and disarm old buried WMD, presented written documents to Hans Blix and El Baradei accounting for the destruction of most of their chemical and biological weapons in the 1990s, and willingly did everything else asked of them.
Ironically, Bush has been the exterminator of U.N. resolutions. He initiated over 30,000 violations with air sorties and hundreds of air strikes with the ensuing deaths and dismemberments (collateral damage) of hundreds of Iraqi civilians. And this was all going on the last 3 years during our peacetime. Ask any peasant Iraqi wife how peace feels when her husband’s body is scattered like hamburger all over the farm.
Such perverse irony when the US demands that spy planes fly over Iraq, demands that Iraq destroy their el Samoud missiles, and then to top it off, we attack them old "rughead"s. Iraq did all those things to please us and more. It is like picking a fight with someone -- but first we insist they cut off their own arms. It kind of reminds me of a hard-hitting NFL linebacker jumping on a little old lady all crippled up in her wheelchair. Talk about un-American!
So why did we not take a little more time and finish off the last 5% of WMD’s instead of finishing off Saddam? The answer lies between the ears of George Bush and may never be known. Even our CIA and FBI were cited in the New York Times recently stating that our president is” wildly exaggerating” the case against Iraq. Much of the reason is oil, whether the chickenhawks want to admit it or not. I believe time will bear this out. In addition, massive contracts for oil drilling, reconstruction, and other post war enterprises have already been let out to favored contractors such as Haliburton, Vice President “wonder what happened to him” Cheney’s old company.
There are other cobwebs of resentment between Bush’s ear that led to this war. Only Bush's psychiatrist may be able to blast them out. As for the chickenhawks, their tortured logic for war is overly simplistic: they believe our president. Our president tells lies and the bloodthirsty chickenhawks suck on them like Dracula at a bloodbank.
But Bush only gives an anorexically thin slice of the picture. Bush never places Iraq’s actions within the context of real current events, history, culture or geography. For example, this war is particularly disturbing in that we would go to war with a secular government, when there are so many fanatical Islamic fundamentalists around to pick a fight with. And as far as the word “rughead”, a common stereotypical chickenhawk slam, few in Iraq even wear "rugs" on their heads or other fundamentalist garb. Being secular, Iraq does not mix church and state like other Arab nations. You don’t even have to be a Muslim to attain a high-ranking office in Iraq’s government. Tariq Azziz, Iraq’s Foreign Minister and Saddam’s right hand man for nearly 40 years is not even a Muslim. He is a Christian. Iraq has always encouraged diversity. Iraq never went to war on religious grounds like so many other Arab nations have. Iraq engages in war only when a nation is a threat to them. An example is the Iran/Iraq war. Iraqi war drums began in 1979 when Iran started to act up. Remember 1979? It was not the Iraqis who were a threat to the U.S. It was the rabid anti-American Iranians who tortured 52 American hostages for 444 days. It was the Iranians who took over our embassy. And it was the Iranians who killed Capt. Richard L. Bakke, 34, Long Beach, CA. Air Force and 7 other American heroes who valiantly attempted to rescue the hostages.
As a matter of fact, Iraq fought a war in our proxy to defeat the Islamic revolutionaries in the Iraq/Iran War 1980-1988. In 1984 Donald Rumsfeld, then Special Envoy to the Middle East, importuned Saddam to continue fighting our dreaded enemy, Iran. Back then it was Catch 22. We had to stop the Islamic fundamentalists who aimed to galvanize the entire middle east, but we had no way to wage war except via Iraq. The thought of war was politically untenable for our government since it was only 6 years since the Vietnam War had ended and Americans were not about to get sucked into another quagmire.
Consequently Iraq fought valiantly for their country and for us. The US supplied Iraq with weapons of mass destruction, satellite reports on enemy’s positions, and plenty of hugs and kisses to spur them on to victory. The so-called gassing of Saddam’s “own people” was done in self-defense late in the war when Iran was dangerously close to overrunning Iraq. Then President Reagan had issued a directive that read in part “Iran must be stopped at any cost…”. The Reagan administration was scared; especially after the Kurds had joined forces with the Iranians to conduct almost daily human wave attacks on innocent Iraqi villagers. Machete wielding Kurds tortured and decapitated hundreds of Iraqi villagers. Being outnumbered 6 to 1, Saddam protected his villagers and the U.S. the only way possible - gas, gas supplied via Uncle Sam. Any acts of violence by Saddam have always been to protect the sovereignty of his country. Iraq lost over half a million men to put the American-hating religious fanatics in their place. And what do we do to express our appreciation to Iraq - bomb this back into the Stone Age again.
It is also very disturbing that we would go to war with a nation whose culture mirrors our own like no other Middle Eastern nation except maybe Israel. Iraqis dress primarily in western clothing. Women occupy positions of power and responsibility. They have been freed from their veils for decades. Iraqis are blessed with a compulsory coeducational system that was instituted by Saddam Hussein himself in the 1980s. As a matter of fact, Saddam won several humanitarian awards during the post Iran War for his efforts to eliminate illiteracy, industrialize the cities, and mechanize agriculture. Saddam constructed dams to more effectively make use of the irrigational resources of the Tigress and Euphrates Rivers. He also improved transportation and commerce by modernizing the highway systems.
Iraq is a highly educated society with a significant number of engineers, architects, doctors, and other professionals, many educated in America. Iraq has good universities, malls, cinemas, freeways, and even gogo bars. In addition, Iraq has a quasi-parliamentary form of government, with a President who fought valiantly in several wars over a 45-year span to earn his claim to power. He was twice shot, twice captured, sentenced to death, and twice escaped. Saddam has earned his position as the President of Iraq, a position he has held since 1979. Iraq, under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, has managed to hang on for 12 years even with the unjustified U.S. sponsored sanctions and almost daily bombing. The United Nations has estimated that the U.S. sponsored sanctions have led to the deaths of over a million Iraqis over the last 12 years, 400,000 of whom were children. Iraq still has not recovered from the 1991 war, during which it was on the receiving end of the heaviest bombing in world history, destroying much of the country’s civilian infrastructure. Just think what Iraq could do under Saddam’s leadership if the sanctions were removed and the bombs stopped falling.
For those Americans caught up in the Code Orange paranoia, fear not. It is highly unlikely that there will be any terrorist attacks since terrorists hate Saddam. In Osama bin Laden’s most recent tape recording, he called Saddam an infidel. Osama probably hates Saddam as much as Bush. Therefore, as long as Bush goes after Saddam, terrorists will rejoice and certainly not risk preempting this insane preemptive war. So don’t worry. Americans can continue their ordinary lives with virtual impunity. But what about Iraq? Iraqis have made it clear - if anyone is listening - that they too simply want to be given the chance to get up in the morning, put their pants on one leg at a time, and go about their daily lives. Is that too much to ask?

How can so many be filled with so much hate and violence? In every letter I have read, you have attacked everthing and everyone that disagrees with your point of view, not with proof of wrongdoing, but with hatred and empty statements of hostility - Each has a right to believe as they choose; non has the right to shread the other for their beliefs. Why can't we all just live together as God's children?

On the eve of war with Iraq, federal agents swept through the country in pursuit of suspected Iraqi and al-Qaeda "sleeper cells" — small groups of saboteurs waiting orders to commit terrorist acts.
According to the March 5th Los Angeles Times, U.S. intelligence officials had "credible information" that Iraqi terrorist cells had been dispatched around the globe. "The concern is not that there is a credible Iraqi military threat," commented one official. "We are concerned about the increased likelihood of terrorist attacks."
NBC News reported on March 6th: "The FBI is conducting an intensive hunt for potential ‘sleeper cells’ of Iraqi agents planted to strike in the event of war.... At least 70 Iraqi nationals are under active surveillance … and agents have spread out to interview thousands of Iraqi men in an attempt to track down hundreds who came to the United States and disappeared."
This sweep actually began in January, as FBI agents fanned out to interrogate an estimated 50,000 Iraqis residing in the United States. Aziz al-Taee, chairman of the Iraqi-American Council, reported that the FBI was "asking if anybody knows someone who worked with Saddam. They asked about a list of some who have vanished. They are asking about terrorist cells."
Many or even most of the estimated 300,000 Iraqi-Americans and resident aliens are law-abiding people who fled Saddam’s brutal reign, which UN sanctions have exacerbated by targeting the civilian population while leaving the dictator unmolested. It is reasonable to believe, however, that Saddam’s intelligence apparatus seeded that population with terrorists as a way of retaliating against the U.S., should the Gulf War resume.
In fact, we know for certain that the Iraqi refugee population contains highly trained assets of the Iraqi military, including the vaunted Republican Guard. We know this because Washington brought them here.
At the end of the first Gulf War in 1991, the first Bush administration began a program, which the Clinton administration continued, to resettle thousands of Iraqi POWs in the United States at taxpayer expense. "According to the State Department, the former prisoners were conscripted into the Iraqi Army against their will and have now been classified by international agencies [meaning the UN] as refugees who face persecution by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s regime if they return home," reported the August 25, 1993 Washington Post.
When news leaked of the $70 million resettlement effort, a bipartisan group of 75 congressmen sent a letter of protest to the White House. "We find it disturbing that American taxpayers must fund the travel of former Iraqi soldiers (who took up arms against our own soldiers) to the U.S.," declared the letter. "Ironically, we provide the [Iraqi POWs] with welfare services while asking our own veterans and service personnel to bear the burdens of deficit reduction."
Alluding to propaganda leaflets used to encourage Iraqi soldiers to surrender, Congressman Clifford Stearns (R-Fla.) wryly commented: "When we dropped those leaflets on the Republican Guard, we did not include a plane ticket to Middle America and welfare entitlement benefits. When those guys realized the war was lost, they changed into civilian clothes and surrendered, and now we’re rolling out the red carpet."
Hitting up taxpayers to subsidize former Iraqi troops is outrageous. Bilking taxpayers to support potential Iraqi terrorist agents is potentially suicidal — and Saddam’s intention to infiltrate terrorists into this country was well known more than a decade ago. The Washington Post reported on January 28, 1991 that, according to "highly classified U.S. intelligence reports," Saddam Hussein had "dispatched more than 100 terrorists, both experienced and novice, to try to infiltrate the United States." Some might contend that the presence of Iraqi "sleepers" in our nation justifies a "preemptive" war with Iraq. But if defending our country is the object, our efforts should focus on rolling up terrorist networks here, beginning with Iraqi suspects brought here by our own government.
Iraq’s OKC Connection?
Among the dubious, taxpayer-supported Iraqi refugees was Hussain Al-Hussaini, one of several hundred former Iraqi soldiers — including Republican Guard cadres — who took up residence in Oklahoma. Several eyewitnesses to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing placed Al-Hussaini in the company of executed terrorist Timothy McVeigh on the morning of that atrocity (see "OKC’s Mideast Connection" in our September 14, 1998 issue).
While Al-Hussaini insists that he was an innocent refugee seeking asylum from Saddam’s vicious regime, he admitted in an interview with the Oklahoma Gazette that he had belonged to the elite Republican Guard before emigrating in 1992. (According to one intelligence report, Al-Hussaini served in the Guard’s Hammurabi Division, the same division that arch-terrorist Ramzi Yousef also reportedly served in. Yousef came to the U.S. around the same time in 1992 to mastermind the first World Trade Center bombing.) After working at Boston’s Logan airport, Al-Hussaini moved to Oklahoma City, where he lived with several other Iraqi soldiers. One of his OKC roommates, Ali Al-Sidii, confirmed in a 1998 interview with this magazine’s William F. Jasper that he (Al-Sidii) had served with Al-Hussaini in Saddam’s army during Desert Storm.
Al-Hussaini, Al-Sidii, and other young Iraqi men worked for, and lived in houses owned by, Dr. Samir Sharif Khalil, a convicted felon who served prison time for insurance fraud and was investigated by federal authorities as far back as the 1970s because of alleged ties to terrorists. It’s possible that Al-Hussaini defected legitimately. But U.S. intelligence officials have acknowledged that Saddam may have planted terrorists in U.S.-supported resistance groups.
The March 11, 1998 New York Times reported: "Six Iraqis who worked in concert with the CIA in failed plots against Saddam Hussein have been declared threats to U.S. national security in a court ruling so secret that their lawyers cannot read it." That ruling, handed down by a federal immigration judge, reported the Times, described the Iraqis as "a danger to the national security of the United States" based on secret evidence provided by FBI agents.
One of the Iraqis, Ali Yasin Mohammed Karim, worked with the CIA-created Iraqi National Congress in northern Iraq. "We came to this land legally, on account of the U.S. government, and they put us in jail," protested Karim. Once again, in the murky netherworld of CIA-sponsored "resistance" groups, it’s difficult to distinguish friend from foe. But one clear-cut case is that of Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Yousef claimed to be a member of an anti-Saddam resistance group when he entered the United States on an Iraqi passport in 1992.
Acting on behalf of bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network, Yousef devised a plan called "Operation Bojinka," which called for simultaneously bombing 11 U.S. civilian airliners, and using an airplane in a suicide bombing attack on CIA Headquarters. In the aftermath of 9-11, the Filipino police and intelligence officials who had broken up the "Bojinka" plot — and shared their intelligence with the FBI — described it as the first draft of the Black Tuesday attack. (See "Could We Have Prevented the Attacks?" in our November 5, 2001 issue.)
Bin Laden’s Balkan Buddies
Intriguingly, the term "Bojinka," meaning "loud bang," is neither Arabic nor Tagalog (a Filipino dialect), as one might suspect. Instead, it is a Serbo-Croatian term with Turkish roots — a small but potentially significant connecting link to the Balkans, a region now infested with radical Muslim terrorist cells loyal to both Osama bin Laden and revolutionary Iran. Following the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the Serbian province of Kosovo was turned into a UN-supervised radical Muslim enclave under the rule of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In February 1998, Robert Gelbard, the Clinton administration’s special envoy for Kosovo, told Agence France Presse that the KLA "is, without any questions, a terrorist group."
Ralf Mutschke, assistant director for Interpol’s Criminal Intelligence Directorate, pointed out in December 2000 congressional testimony: "In 1998, the U.S. State Department listed the KLA as a terrorist organization, indicating that it was financing its operations with money from the international heroin trade and loans from Islamic countries and individuals, among them allegedly Osama bin Laden." Mutschke pointed out that bin Laden lent the KLA one of his military commanders, who led "an elite KLA unit during the Kosovo conflict."
On August 24, 1998, shortly after U.S. cruise missiles struck purported bin Laden assets in Sudan and Afghanistan, the terror chieftain’s World Islamic Front (WIF) issued a communiqué urging its followers to "direct your attacks to the American army and her allies, the infidels." The KLA was among the al-Qaeda-connected groups to which that directive was issued. Nonetheless, in late 1998, the Clinton administration repealed its description of the KLA as a terrorist group, and began to supply it with assistance and training via the CIA.
By any definition, the KLA must be considered one of the most loathsome terrorist groups in existence. In the March 28, 1999 New York Times, Balkans correspondent Chris Hedges pointed out that the group’s leadership echelons were occupied by "diehard Marxist-Leninists (who were bankrolled in the old days by the Stalinist dictatorship next door in Albania)" as well as descendants of World War II-era fascist militias.
Writing in the May-June 1999 issue of Foreign Affairs, Hedges pointed out that the KLA’s ideology displays "hints of fascism on one side and whiffs of communism on the other," and its leadership includes the heirs and descendants of "the Skanderbeg volunteer SS division raised by the Nazis … [who] took part in the shameful roundup and deportation of [Kosovo’s] few hundred Jews during the Holocaust."
While bin Laden and the CIA collaborated to train the KLA’s military personnel, th
