"Philantropist" Soros unmasked: his fake socialism
09.30.04 (5:46 pm)   [edit]
In previous thread about Hamlet on the theme of Appearance and Reality, I said that I used to admire Soros for his apparent altruism, but that was before knowing some truths and there are several ones. One among others I will tell is this : it is him who saved Bush from Harken's financial disaster as revealed by one of independant mags here :
http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=82" title="http://www.thenation.com/capitalgames/index.mhtml?bid=3&pid=82" target="_blank"http://www.thenation.com/capi...
Bush and the Billionaire: How Insider Capitalism Benefited W.
by David Corn , the nation.com
"At the time, Harken was owned by global billionaire George Soros, the Harvard Management Corporation, and others. A few weeks ago, I was at the opening of the new Washington offices of the Open Society Institute, a nonprofit policy and advocacy organization founded by Soros. OSI reflects the left-of-center beliefs of Soros. In the United States and overseas, it promotes campaign finance reform, government openness, drug policy reform, abolition of the death penalty and many other issues. At the party, practically the entire liberal policy community of the capital was present. Well-wishers (and grant-seekers?) were eagerly congratulating Soros. While chatting with one of his employees, I said to her, "One day, you should ask Soros what he knew about the Harken deal and why his company took on Bush." She blanched and mumbled that she could never raise that with Soros.

Later, when I saw the billionaire almost alone, I sidled up to him. "Nice offices," I said. "But can I ask you about some ancient history?" Sure, he said, with a good-natured smile. What was the deal with Harken buying up Spectrum 7? I inquired. Did Soros know Bush back then?

"I didn't know him," Soros replied. "He was supposed to bring in the Gulf connection. But it didn't come to anything. We were buying political influence. That was it. He was not much of a businessman."

Then my time with the billionaire was up. If Soros--who disagrees with most Bush policies--is telling the truth, it means Bush only survived in the corporate jungle because of his surname and connections. Yes, that hardly comes as a surprise. But it does render Bush a purebred embodiment of the central issue of the current business scandals: those on the inside play by a different set of rules than the rest of Americans (including workers and small investors). The market works for Bush--as well as for Martha Stewart and the execs of WorldCom and Enron--in ways others can only imagine, or read about, once in a great while, in an indictment.

Had it not been for Soros and his Harken partners, what might have become of George the Younger? Because a liberal billionaire and his corporate allies sought political juice in 1986--for they knew the business world is no meritocracy--Bush's corporate career was artificially inflated. Consequently, he was able to enter politics, citing his business experience, and land in a position where he could implement policies that make Soros gag. (O. Henry would enjoy this turnabout.) "
 
Appearance vs. Reality
09.30.04 (6:15 am)   [edit]
I have found an interesting essay on Hamlet and it reminds me of someone that I used to admire because I thought he was a personnage of great altruism but later I discovered that he was like the king Claudius in Hamlet: he was just hiding behind a mask of falseness. It is Georges Soros and I just learnt that today he will be interviewed on CNBC at 4:30 PM. If ever you listen to him don't forget that he is playing a comedy (I will make a post on Soros another day):

A free essay on Hamlet - Appearance vs. Reality

"Hamlet - Appearance vs. Reality- Hamlet one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, where the young prince of Denmark must uncover the truth about his fathers death. Hamlet a play that tells the story of a young prince who's father recently died. Hamlets uncle Claudius marries his mother the queen and takes the throne. As the play is told Hamlet finds out his father was murdered by the recently crowned king. "

"The theme that remains constant throughout the play is appearance versus reality. Things within the play appear to be true and honest but in reality are infested with evil. Many of the characters within the play hide behind a mask of falseness. Four of the main characters that hid behind this mask are Polonius, Rosencrantz (Guildenstern), the king Cluadius. From behind this mask they give the impression of a person who is sincere and genuine, in reality they are plagued with lies and evil. There appearance will make it very difficult for Hamlet to uncover the truth, the characters hide behind. Polonius the kings royal assistant has a preoccupation with appearance. He always wants to keep up the appearance of loving and caring person. Polonius appears like a man who loves and cares about his son, Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be the loving caring father."
 
Who feels like Hamlet ?
09.29.04 (10:18 am)   [edit]
I have never read Hamlet from Shakespeare, I think I should because I feel like him, and I would like to know how he solved that dilemna :
=http://www.enotes.com/hamlet

In his difficult struggle to somehow act within a corrupt world and yet maintain his moral integrity, Hamlet ultimately reflects the fate of all human beings.

In the words of Ernest Johnson, "the dilemma of Hamlet the Prince and Man" is "to disentangle himself from the temptation to wreak justice for the wrong reasons and in evil passion, and to do what he must do at last for the pure sake of justice.… From that dilemma of wrong feelings and right actions, he ultimately emerges, solving the problem by attaining a proper state of mind."

What does Stock Market "anticipate" about the Presidential election (update)
09.24.04 (11:09 am)   [edit]

I said
"There is a theory among traders that the stock market discounts information because they believe that insiders having some priviledged knowledge revealed them through the market...

...the Dow Jones has reached a technical point which is considered as a potential top since it fail to pass again 10550 at the moment. This would mean that left wing would win but Stock market would plunge at least on short term basis before or after the election"

Lastest weeks has seen a rally in market as well as coïncidently a regain of Bush popularity in polls but market failed again to pass the 10550 critical mark. As market falls I guess Bush should relose its popularity in polls: Do people herd in politics like in stock market :).

Stanley Hilton 9/11 families lawyer: "Bush Authorized 911 Attacks"

Government Insider Says Bush
Authorized 911 Attacks
From Thomas Buyea
9-17-4


Keep in mind when reading this, that the man being interviewed is no two-bit internet conspiracy buff.

Stanley Hilton was a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole (R) and has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.

The following is from his latest visit to Alex Jones' radio show.

Forwarded with Compliments of Free Voice of America (FVOA): Accurate News and Interesting Commentary for Amerika's Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free.

Note: All honor to Stanley Hilton for risking his life so that we may know the truth of 9/11.

The Bush Junta Unmasked

"This (9/11) was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder." --Stanley Hilton

Alex Jones interview of Stanley Hilton, attorney for 911 taxpayers' lawsuit

Alex Jones Radio Show September 10, 2004 Transcription by 'RatCat'

AJ: He is back with us. He is former Bob Dole's chief of staff, very successful counselor, lawyer. He represents hundreds of the victims families of 9/11. He is suing Bush for involvement in 9/11. Now a major Zogby poll out - half of New Yorkers think the government was involved in 9/11. And joining us for the next 35 minutes, into the next hour, is Stanley Hilton. Stanley, it's great to have you on with us.

SH: Glad to be on.

AJ: We'll have to recap this when we start the next hour, but just in a nutshell, you have a lawsuit going, you've deposed a lot of military officers. You know the truth of 9/11. Just in a nutshell, what is your case alleging?

SH: Our case is alleging that Bush and his puppets Rice and Cheney and Mueller and Rumsfeld and so forth, Tenet, were all involved not only in aiding and abetting and allowing 9/11 to happen but in actually ordering it to happen. Bush personally ordered it to happen. We have some very incriminating documents as well as eye-witnesses, that Bush personally ordered this event to happen in order to gain political advantage, to pursue a bogus political agenda on behalf of the neocons and their deluded thinking in the Middle East. I also wanted to point out that, just quickly, I went to school with some of these neocons. At the University of Chicago, in the late 60s with Wolfowitz and Feith and several of the others and so I know these people personally. And we used to talk about this stuff all of the time. And I did my senior thesis on this very subject - how to turn the U.S. into a presidential dictatorship by manufacturing a bogus Pearl Harbor event. So, technically this has been in the planning at least 35 years.

AJ: That's right. They were all Straussian followers of a Nazi-like professor. And now they are setting it up here in America. Stanley, I know you deposed a lot of people and you've got your $7 million dollar lawsuit with hundreds of the victim's families involved.

SH: 7 billion, 7 billion

AJ: Yeah, 7 billion. Can you go over some of the new and incriminating evidence you've got of them ordering the attack?

SH: Yes, let me just say that this is a taxpayers' class action lawsuit as well as a suit on behalf of the families and the basic three arguments are they violated the Constitution by ordering this event. And secondly that they [garbled] fraudulent Federal Claims Act, Title 31 of the U.S. Code in which Bush presented false and fraudulent evidence to Congress to get the Iraq war authorization. And, of course, he related it to 9/11 and claimed that Saddam was involved with that, and all these lies.

AJ: Tell you what, stay there. Stanley, we've got to break. Let's come back and get into the evidence. BREAK

AJ: All right my friends, second hour, September 10th, 2004, the anniversary of the globalist attack coming up tomorrow. It's an amazing individual we have on the line. Bob Dole's former chief of staff, political scientist, a lawyer, he went to school with Rumsfeld and others, he wrote his thesis about how to turn America into a dictatorship using a fake Pearl Harbor attack. He's suing the U.S. government for carrying out 9/11. He has hundreds of the victims' families signing onto it - it's a $7 billion lawsuit. And he is Stanley Hilton. I know that a lot of stations just joined us in Los Angeles and Rhode Island and Missouri and Florida and all over. Please sir, recap what you were just stating and then let's get into the new evidence. And then we'll get into why you are being harassed by the FBI, as other FBI people are being harassed who have been blowing the whistle on this. So, this is really getting serious. Stanley, tell us all about it.

SH: Yeah, we are suing Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Mueller, etc. for complicity in personally not only allowing 9/11 to happen but in ordering it. The hijackers we retained and we had a witness who is married to one of them. The hijackers were U.S. undercover agents. They were double agents, paid by the FBI and the CIA to spy on Arab groups in this country. They were controlled. Their landlord was an FBI informant in San Diego and other places. And this was a direct, covert operation ordered, personally ordered by George W. Bush. Personally ordered. We have incriminating evidence, documents as well as witnesses, to this effect. It's not just incompetence - in spite of the fact that he is incompetent. The fact is he personally ordered this, knew about it. He, at one point, there were rehearsals of this. The reason why he appeared to be uninterested and nonchalant on September 11th - when those videos showed that Andrew Card whispered in his ear the [garbled] words about this he listened to kids reading the pet goat story, is that he thought this was another rehearsal. These people had dress-rehearsed this many times. He had seen simulated videos of this. In fact, he even made a Freudian slip a few months later at a California press conference when he said he had, quote, "seen on television the first plane attack the first tower." And that could not be possible because there was no video. What it was was the simulated video that he had gone over. So this was a personally government-ordered thing. We are suing them under the Constitution for violating Americans' rights, as well as under the federal Fraudulent Claims Act, for presenting a fraudulent claim to Congress to justify the bogus Iraq boondoggle war, for political gains. And also, under the RICO statute, under the Racketeering Corrupt Organization Act, for being a corrupt entity. And I've been harassed personally by the chief judge of the federal court who is instructing me personally to drop this suit, threatened to kick me off the court, after 30 years on the court. I've been harassed by the FBI. My staff has been harassed and threatened. My office has been broken into and this is the kind of government we are dealing with.

AJ: Absolutely and now it has come out - five separate drills of flying hijacked jets into buildings that morning - which you told us about before it even broke in the Associated Press. They were trying to get out ahead of you. You talked about how you interviewed military people who were told it was a drill that morning. Then to get out ahead of that, the news finally reported on it. Now, we've learned that all these operations - I want to get into that, I want to talk about the new incriminating evidence of ordering it and how they had drilled on this, how Cheney was in the bunker controlling this. That has even come out in the mainstream news but they won't release the details of that, Stanley. But what type of FBI harassment are you going through? SH: First of all, my office was burglarized in San Francisco several months ago. Files were gone through and some files were seized - particularly the ones dealing with the lady that was married to one of the hijackers. Fortunately, I had spare copies in a hidden place so nothing disappeared permanently. But more significantly, FBI agents have been harassing one of my staff members and threatening them with vague but frightening threats of indicting them. And it's just total harassment. They have planted a spy, an undercover agent, in my organization, as we just recently discovered. In other words, these are Nazi Germany tactics. This is the kind of government you have in this country. This is what Bush is all about.

AJ: Stay there, Stanley, Bob Dole's former chief of staff. We'll come back after this quick break. Please stay with us. BREAK

AJ: All right, eight minutes, 25 seconds into the second hour. Stanley Hilton, political scientist, lawyer, Bob Dole's former chief of staff, is suing the government for 7 billion dollars for carrying out 9/11 and for racketeering. And he joins us now. During the break, I first really did the big interview with Stanley Hilton after I saw him attacked on Fox News. And that interview got massive attention. And then he kind of went underground for a while because a judge, we're going to talk about that, ordered him to not do any more interviews. And now he's back doing interviews. He's had his office broken into, FBI threats and harassment. Bottom line, he has deposed military individuals, wives of hijackers, you name it, it was a government operation. It has even come out in mainstream news, a piece here, a piece there. They had drills on 9/11, that's why NORAD stood down. Cheney was in control of the whole thing. Stanley Hilton has now gotten documents about how Bush ordered the whole operation. And I'll tell you right now, his life is in danger, folks. And he's got so much courage. He went to school with these neocons at the University of Chicago. He wrote his thesis on how the government could use terrorist attacks to set up martial law. He is the man for the time and folks wondered why he disappeared for a while and just did his lawsuit and wasn't doing interviews, it was because he was ordered to. Stanley, can you get into that for us?

SH: I did an interview with you, Alex, back in March of 2003, about a year and a half ago, and literally two weeks after that, I was contacted by the emissary of the chief judge of the federal court where I have the lawsuit. And I was warned not to publicize it but to keep it quiet and threatened with discipline. And it remained quiet until a couple of months ago and then I got on the air on some programs and some publicity and July 1st, I was threatened directly by the chief judge here, threatened with court discipline. This particular judge has been circulating communiqués to the other federal judges seeking anything negative she can get against me to try and discipline me after I've been on the court here for 30 years with no disciplinary problems at all. This is suddenly happening. And her assistants who are on the committee of the court met with me on July 1st in Palo Alto, California, and threatened me directly. They handed me a copy of the lawsuit and said that the judge wants me to dismiss this. What's this? She doesn't like the content of it. This is politically incorrect. This is outside the norm. I said I represented more than 400 plaintiffs, how am I going to dismiss this case? And they threatened me directly and they said, "the next time you'll be disciplined." And also they've threatened me not to go public, etc. And this is just outrageous.

AJ: It's all color of law. No direct orders, just all in your face.

SH: They sent a letter out, and of course they deny it's because of the political content of the suit but they told me directly on the phone that it is because of this suit and this judge is very, very angry, apparently has been in contact with Ashcroft's Justice Department. I got a call from Ashcroft's Justice Department a few months ago about this, demanding that I drop the suit, threatening sanctions and all kinds of things. I refused to drop it. AJ: Now let's go back over, you had them break into your office, harassment. Let's go over that in detail.

SH: My office was broken into about 6 months ago. The file cabinets - it was obvious they had been rifled through. Files were stolen. Files dealing with this particular case and particularly with the documents I had regarding the fact that the - some of these hijackers, at least some of them were on the payroll of the U.S. government as undercover FBI, CIA, double agents. They are spying on Arab groups in the U.S. And, in effect, all this led up to the effect that al Qaeda is a creation of the George Bush administration, basically. That the entity that he called al Qaeda is directly linked to George Bush. And all this stuff was stolen. Fortunately, I had copies. But this was just part of the harassment. The FBI has also been harassing some of my assistants and has planted a spy in our midst. And it is just outrageous that these Nazi tactics are being used - and the obstruction of justice, these people are criminals. And that's what's happening under the tremendous pressure here to just drop it. Or to shut up now and just go away.

AJ: Now, let's talk about what they want you to drop. Let's talk about, without giving names, the people you deposed, what really happened, the picture you've got. You said earlier that Bush ordered this, they were simulating this which they now admit there were simulations on that morning. Let's go over what they don't want you to talk about, Stanley.

SH: We have evidence both documentary as well as witness sworn statements from undercover former FBI agents, FBI informants, etc., that other officials in the Pentagon and the military and the Air Force that deal with the fact that there were many drills, many rehearsals for 9/11 before it happened. Bush had seen this simulated on TV many times. He blurted this out at a press conference in California a few months after 9/11 where he said he had, quote, seen the first plane hit the first building on the video. And that's not possible because there was no official video of that. There was one of the second plane not the first one. He had seen the first one. We do have some incriminating documents that Bush personally ordered 9/11 events. It was well planned. A FEMA official has admitted on tape that he was there the night before - September 10th, that is

AJ: And now Mayor Giuliani, a few months ago in the 911 Commission, admitted that - Tripod II. They had their whole command post already moved out of Building 7. Now, this is very, very important. This is a key area of this whole event. You said months before it came out on the CIA's own website and the Associated Press, you said I deposed people. They said there were drills that morning and exactly what happened, happening - that was the smoke-screen for the stand-down. And then to get out ahead of it, the CIA comes out and said yeah we were running a drill that morning. Now, we've learned that five, possibly six, were confirmed. Five of these - one drill with the exact same thing happening that actually happened, at the exact same time in the morning. That's why NORAD stood down with 24 different blips on the screen. You've said this. You brought this up first. Now, I know you can't get too much into detail but can you tell us how you learned of this?

SH: I have interviewed individuals in NORAD and the Air Force. I personally toured NORAD many years ago around the time that I worked for Dole. I'm very familiar with the operations at Cheyenne Mountain at Colorado Springs, where NORAD is. Individuals that work in NORAD as well as the Air Force have stated this, off the record, but the point is, yes, this was not just five drills but at least 35 drills over at least two months before September 11th. Everything was planned, the exact location

AJ: But five drills that day.

SH: That day, that day, and Bush thought it was a drill. That's the only explanation for why he appeared nonchalant

AJ: We also had NORAD officers and civilian air traffic controllers going, "Is this part of the exercise? Is this a drill?"

SH: Yes.

AJ: On the tapes and in TV interviews, they thought it was, quote, a drill.

SH: That's right. That's exactly what I said long before it became public. I've known about this since earlier in March of '03, as I stated before. This was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder. And now, obstruction of justice by attempting to use a federal judge and FBI agents to inhibit a legitimate civil lawsuit in this country, in federal court. Even a chief judge in this court tried to harass and threaten me personally for representing legitimate plaintiffs. And they got Clinton for allegedly lying under oath about Paula Jones and now - look what's happening now. And Ken Starr used to be across from me in Duke Law School in the early `70s and it´s interesting that he got away with trying to get Clinton impeached, so we have a far worse criminal sitting in the oval office today - somebody guilty of mass murder as well as obstruction of justice.

AJ: Well, I mean look, they say they never heard of a plan to fly planes into buildings - said it all over television - Rice, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft. And then we find out they were running all these drills that morning. Even if they weren't involved, that proves they were liars about ever hearing of such a plan.

SH: Well, I'm trying to take their depositions - I've been trying to take their depositions for months. They've been trying to object to it. They will have to admit they were either lying then or now. It's clearly perjury either way. They are liars and perjurers; that's what they are. These are the people that we have running this government and, of course, they knew about it. How are they going to claim now that they didn't know about these drills? Their idea is that nobody knew anything. It's the old know-nothing mentality. And how anybody considers this believable is beyond me.

AJ: All right, now people ask how could a huge organization, how could the AWACs, how could the military let this happen; whereas before, if your Cessna got off course for five minutes, they would launch F-16s on you. It's real simple. It's what Stanley Hilton said here a year and a half ago. It's what came out in the news after that. The military, good people, were told this was all a drill. And it was not a drill. And ABC News admits that Cheney was in control of [?] out of the White House [?] and that he ordered the military to quote "do something." Our inside sources from Hilton and others say it was a stand down and they admit they will not release that under national security. Stanley?

SH: Well they are going to admit it, they're going to release it in the court case because if you demand it under subpoena powers and they must release it. And part of our lawsuit is brought in the name of the U.S. because under the federal fraudulent [Claims Act], we accuse the Bush Administration of presenting a fraudulent claim to Congress. And under the statutes of Title 31 of the U.S. code, they must release this information. That's why they are trying to threaten me, harass me, invade my office, steal my files, commit blatant obstruction of justice and other crimes to try and prevent a legitimate civil suit from exposing these criminals and their acts of treason and mass murder.

AJ: I think you need to publicly tell folks that you are not planning suicide. Would you like to tell folks that?

SH: (laughs) I'm not planning suicide. I've got family and I'm not planning that but I don't like the threats I'm under - but I can tell you this, it's taking a toll emotionally on me and my staff. And particularly, when you get a threat from the chief judge of your own court.

AJ: Why have you decided to go public again after a year of being under the radar? SH: Because the more and more evidence that I've been adducing over a year and a half has made it so obvious to me that this was now without any doubt a government operation and that it amounts to the biggest act of treason and mass murder in American history. I mean George Bush makes Benedict Arnold look like a patriot. He makes Benedict Arnold look like George Washington. I mean that's what we have - a criminal and a traitor sitting in the White House pretending he's a patriot, wrapping himself in the flag. And it's pretty disgusting because the other side of the so-called opposition, the Kerry camp is just saying nothing because they're afraid to speak.

AJ: Stay right there. We'll be right back.

BREAK

AJ: Stanley Hilton will be with us for another 15 or 16 minutes. Then he's got to go into court. Bob Dole's former chief of staff, political scientist, lawyer, represents 400 plus plaintiffs - most of them victims of 9/11. When I was in New York last week, everybody I was talking to, I mean 90 plus percent of them at ground zero - "I had family, I worked in the buildings, my son's a Navy Seal - he called the night before and said don't go to work." You know, all of this, and then now they never had any idea - and it turns out they had all these drills - and one drill of hijacked jets flying into the World Trade Center and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning. That morning - come on people! And Stanley Hilton brought all this out on this show before it was in the mainstream news. And I was talking to him during the break. I mean, the harassment, the moles, the threatening of his staff, the judge threatening him. Stanley, let's get specifically into the documents that you have now got that they have now been robbing you for, that you luckily, thank God had copies. Specifically, Bush ordering this. Can you get into that for us - ordering 9/11? SH: National Security Council classified documents which [garbled] and it's was part of a series of documents that were involved with the drill documents. This was all planned - they had it on videotape. These planes were controlled by remote control, as I stated previously a year and a half ago, there's a system called Cyclops. There is a computer chip in the nose of the plane and it enables the ground control, the military ground control, to disable the pilot's control of the plane and to control it and to fly it directly into those towers. That's what happened. It's also a technology used on what's called the Global Hawk, which is an aircraft drone - a remote- controlled aircraft. And they were doing it. We are talking about National Security Council classified documents that clearly indicated that [garbled] had a green light to order this to go and this is no drill. These drills that were running were clearly a dress rehearsal and this was a government operation. You wonder why these people are trying to threaten people and trying to intimidate people who have written this suit, I guess if you murdered 3000 of your own citizens, in conjunction with the corrupt Royal family of Saudi Arabia as Bush did. And if you then waste billions more on a worthless garbage war in Iraq, I guess you've got something to worry about and you want to threaten people to prevent it from coming out.

AJ: I mean let's look at this. Not only are there dress rehearsals, they are smoke screens so the good military stands down and doesn't know what's happening. But it's now coming out, even in mainstream news, that yes these drills were going on. Yes, and some of these drills, quote, passenger-type jets were under remote control - this is decades old technology. In 1958, NORAD was [ ] old jets and using them for target practice. Decades ago they flew jumbo jets from LA to Sidney Australia. So since that's going on, everybody knows that. And it's the same MO. Just like the first World Trade Center [bombing] where they get two retarded men who followed this blind sheik who had a tiny mosque above a pizza parlor. And they set them up as the patsies. Then the FBI cooks the bomb, trains the drivers. This informant goes, "You're not going to bomb the building? They go "Yeah, we're letting it go forward." He tapes them to protect themselves. The two retarded gentlemen, thank God, didn't park it up against the column, as the FBI instructed them to do, so it didn't bring down the tower - because you have to be right up against the column. That doesn't happen. Yet, it's the same thing with 9/11. You've got these CIA agents, these Arabs, who were trained at U.S. military bases, Pensacola Naval Air Station - mainstream media, out creating their legends for this background. They're on board the aircraft. My military sources say nerve gas kills everybody on board the plane - nerve gas packets. Then they fly the planes into buildings. From your inside sources, is that accurate?

SH: It's one of the things that we are looking into - that nerve gas or something else disabled people. It's possible. I can't say for sure to be honest with you

AJ: All you know is they were government agents and they were on board and the planes were remote controlled.

SH: Yeah, it was basically a smokescreen. I mean, the events of the hijackings, how someone snuck in those cutters, it was a plant. It was like a classic decoy. I've got some military background. And it's called decoy. It's a decoy operation. You make the people focus on the decoy to avoid looking at the real criminals. So they are focusing on these so-called nineteen hijackers and saying, "Oh, it must have been these Arabs. When, in fact, the guilty person is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - sitting in the oval office. That's the guilty person. That's the one who authorized it. There is only one man who could have authorized this operation and that's Bush. And anyone at NORAD will tell you as I have been told personally at NORAD in the war control room, there is only one man who has the power to do this kind of thing and that's Bush. Even though many believe he's a puppet. And I think in many ways he is. The fact of the matter is where was [ ] Cheney, Rumsfeld and these other traitors. The fact is Bush personally ordered and he's guilty and liable and he's going to be re-elected apparently because the media's asleep and [garbled] for Bush. AJ: Well, the media is owned by the same military industrial complex that carried out the attacks.

SH: Yeah, the media is only interested in maintaining the official government fantasy that this was a little lone Arab. These Arabs couldn't even steer that plane down a runway.

AJ: Stay there Stanley, final segment coming up. BREAK

AJ: Mr. Hilton, when you talk to these FBI agents, when you talk to these military men and women, what's their attitude? They've got to be pretty freaked out to have the big picture and know what actually happened on 9/11.

SH: Yes, you know it's like clouds just before a thunderstorm in the sense that they are sort of pregnant with rage. They are just enraged at the criminal politicians who have perverted and misused the government to murder its own citizens and pursue these dubious political ends. And many of them, in increasing numbers, are willing to talk and will talk under subpoena - but only under subpoena because the official party line of the government is shut up and don't talk to the trial lawyer. But more and more, they are very outraged that part of the government has done this to its own people, to its own people. I mean you have to go back to Stalin to see something - not even Hitler did this to his own people. You have to look at Stalin who murdered the Kulaks, the Russians for his own dubious gains. Also we've got - we have a Stalinist mentality in this country. And, if these people pose as patriots and wrap themselves in the flag, it's disgusting. I wanted also to point out that the Japanese television network, Asahi, is going to be airing a special on primetime tomorrow, on September 11th. They interviewed me for eight hours a couple of weeks ago. I'll be on that. I wish - of course, the America media don't care so they are not going to care. But in Japan, people are very serious in interviewing me and others. And we have a website now, called deprogram.info, if more people are interested: www.deprogram.info. But the other thing, I just wanted to say that if anything happens to me - and I don't know why - because I'm being threatened here now. And it seems you can't bring a case in this country anymore against criminals in power without being threatened. And this is how they operate. The stakes are pretty high when you've got a world historical level of treason and fraud by this government against it's own people. I guess this is what you have to expect.

AJ: Stanley, the globalists, the new world order crowd, definitely intend to carry out more terror attacks. I know they would have carried out more attacks if we wouldn't have done what we've been up to, if you wouldn't have been out there boldly speaking out and many others. And then their electronic Berlin wall has a bunch of cracks in it now. Thanks to good people like yourself and many others who are speaking out and telling the truth. But do you think that they may carry out what they've been hyping - a suitcase nuke attack, a biological release to try to smokescreen all of this? I know it's a catch 22, you've got to expose the murderers. We've got to get the word out on this but some government people that I've talk to say, "Yeah, but if you do that, they are going to go even more hard core and must totally try to take over." But I say regardless, they are already doing that. So what do you say to that?

SH: Well, yeah, I think they have an agenda. They have contingency plans. I think they are laying low now because there are an increasing number of people, like myself, who are openly challenging them and accusing them of criminal conduct. I think they would have done it again if we had not spoken up. I think they're planning, what they would like to do is silence any dissenters. That's why we are trying to get the Patriot Act declared unconstitutional in this lawsuit also.

AJ: Let's talk about polls. In the beginning a patriot is a scarce man, hated and feared, but in time when his cause succeeds, the timid join him, because then it costs nothing to be a patriot. You are one of those guys who hit the barbwire for us, or figuratively jumped on the hand grenade for America. But when you've got a Zogby poll, who is highly respected, half of New Yorkers believe that the government was involved. When you have a Canadian poll, 63% on average believe that the U.S. government was involved. And some groups, as high as 76% in polls believe the government was involved. European polls, two- thirds show the same thing. We have German defense ministers and technology ministers and another member of their government now, three of them going public, known conservatives, and progressives. You have an environment minister, Michael Meacher, saying that if they didn't do it, they sure as hell knew what was going on. Look, if anybody who is a thinking person looks at the evidence, their official story is impossible. Then you investigate and they are involved in it. Comments to this massive awakening and what's happening.

SH: Well, I think that's why they want the Patriot Act to suppress political dissent. They have to, they're anticipating, they are not dumb individuals. I know these people personally, Wolfowitz. These are criminal individuals but they are smart and so they anticipated political dissent. And that's why, like the Nazis, their forebears, and their blood brothers, the Nazis and the Stalinists, they're all for political repression. Every corrupt and criminal government has done this - they suppress their own people: Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Mao Tse-Tung, that's why we have the Patriot Act. So it's hand in hand. They had it planned to go right up to September 11th, this was all part of the plan. You have to do it. It was part of my senior thesis. You must follow through the terrorists attacks with a political suppression mechanism in the law. And that's why they want Patriot I and Patriot II and their plans are to continue launching more terrorist attacks to justify even more repression. The goal is to make this a one party dictatorship in this country, to pursue their dubious ends with their blood brothers like the Saudi Royal family. And also, historical blood brothers, such as the Nazi Germany and the Communist Russian. That's the goal

AJ: You've got to go in just a minute or two. But I wanted to also tell you about New York. Sound cannons that are used in Iraq, they're against us. Men in black ski masks. 41,000 police, accredited media being arrested randomly. Children being arrested, people in wheelchairs, 2000 plus people put in a camp with barbwire fences inside with no bathrooms. You had to have permission to go to the porta-potties. Police screaming at you. It had nothing to do with terrorism. They are openly setting the precedent for martial law.

SH: Well, that's right, the word terrorist is now being overly broad and overly defined [garbled] and also, you know, it's like the word communist was used for anything during the McCarthy witch hunt. And anybody can be called a terrorist by Bush's definition. But the irony is that the number one terrorist in the world is living at the White House at the oval office today. That's the real irony. For sheer hypocrisy, I think he deserves the world prize and ought to be in the Ripley book, Believe It or Not, and the Guinness book of world records for sheer brazen chicanery and fraud.

AJ: Let me ask you a question on this because this is the experience that I had. Watching television, watching the killers, watching those that are guilty, stand up there as our saviors is incredibly painful. It's like watching Ted Bundy being the judge at his own trial. I mean it is just painful to know who these people are. To see them putting America in a shredder. Now we are going to have forced psychological testing of every American, forced drugging, you know Pan-American unions, I mean it's just all happening, it's in our face, Stanley.

SH: Yeah, it's very disturbing and as one who has studied the theory and concept of dictatorships, I personally interviewed Albert Speer, who was Hitler's armaments minister. I interviewed him in 1981 in Munich. And I've studied the psychology and history of totalitarianism and there is no question that it's very frightening. And it has, today, with high technology, albeit for the first time in history, the chance of having a world empire dominated by corrupt, technologically oriented government - an elite government. And they've got now what people like Napoleon and Hitler didn't have, which is the technological means to dominate not only their own country but others - the world.

AJ: The answer is to expose them as the terrorists, to show how PNAC [Project for the New American Century] said we need helpful Pearl Harbor events, to show how Northwoods called for the exact 9/11-style attacks, to show their own plans. And to force people to face this horror. What are they going to do in a year or two when 80% of us, not half of us, know the truth?

SH: Well, that's why they want repression and, then again, the ancient old diversion, launch another terrorist attack to get people to pitch it away. I mean who knows what they'll do next. I mean their capacity for ingenious creation of these events is sort of unraveled. I mean there is no limit. My guess is they are going to try another stunt - maybe a stunt just before the election to justify getting Bush reelected. Although it seems like he is running against a straw man or a ghost right now, anyway. But, my guess is they'll try some other tactic to get people's attention away from 9/11 if it gets to be too much attention. What you really want is for the public to just lose interest because the public - and it's like remember the Alamo, you know, people don't forget things like that. To me it's like the Alamo, remember 9/11, that ought to be the slogan for this outrageous act of treason. That's what it is. It's not

AJ: We are at a crossroads, I don't think they anticipated this much resistance, Stanley.

SH: Yeah, I hope they are truly wrong and as incompetent as they are corrupt and guilty. That means their incompetence is exceeded only by their corruption and their guilt. And eventually, if enough people are going to get outraged enough, these people in the bureaucracy and in the civil service and our military, and eventually we can get people under subpoena these individuals will be exposed.

AJ: Stanley, their whole operation hinges on us being naïve and not recognizing evil. This is what they got with Hitler and others. People couldn't recognize evil so they continued to repeat succumbing to it. We are recognizing it this time. We are putting our lives, our treasure, our future on the line for freedom because we cannot let these blood-thirsty control freak terrorists capture us and use us and turn us into the empire and have a draft and use us as their slaves to invade the planet. And that's their PNAC plan. Stanley Hilton, I know you've got to get to court. God bless you. I want to thank you for being here with us today. Can we get you back on next week?

SH: Sure, just give me a call.

AJ: God bless you my friend. Any closing comments?

SH: My closing comments would be, I think people ought to just think about the consequence of having someone like Bush in the White House and the danger for the future that these sorts of individuals pose. This is not just a historical event of the past. This is part of the plan and the camera is still rolling. They have an agenda. These individuals are extremely dangerous. They are armed and dangerous. They pose a clear and dangerous threat to every freedom-loving person not only American but in the whole world.

AJ: You are absolutely right Stanley Hilton. They have captured the government. They have not captured the peoples' minds and they are counting on us not facing up to it.

SH: And they are counting on the repressive Patriot Act and threats and chief judges and FBI agents threatening people who are exposing them. That's what they are counting on.

AJ: But you're not backing down are you, my friend.

SH: No, I'm not

AJ: Well, we all stand with you, my brother, and God bless you.

SH: All right. Thank you.

PUTIN EXPOSES US-UK TERROR STRATEGY BEHIND SCHOOL ATROCITY; RUSSIAN PRESS BLASTS ANGLO-SAXON TERRORIST CONTROLLERS

By Webster Griffin Tarpley

Washington DC, September 14 -- In the wake of the terrorist atrocity at a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, in the Russian Federation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made remarks to the western press which expose the key role of the US and British governments in backing Chechen terrorism. Whatever Putin’s previous role in events regarding Chechnya, his current political posture is one which sharply undercuts the legitimacy of the supposed Anglo-American “war on terror,” and which points up the hypocrisy of the Bush regime’s pledge that it will make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them -- since Washington and London are currently harboring Chechens implicated in terrorism. All in all, Putin’s response to Chechen events has, with the third anniversary of 9/11, brought the collapse of the official 9/11 myth measurably closer. The hypocritical terror demagogy of Bush and Blair has now been undercut by the head of state of another permanent member of the UN Security Council...



On Monday September 6, Putin spoke for three and one half hours with a group of some 30 western correspondents and Russia experts at his dacha near Novo Ogarevo outside Moscow. There is no official transcript so far, but accounts have been published in The Guardian, The Independent, and Le Monde. The Washington Post waited until Friday, September 10 to publish an article, but left out the most significant remarks. There are now signs that the Anglo-American press is beginning a new campaign against Putin as a dictator, stressing the obvious in order to silence his attacks on the US-UK sponsorship of Chechen terror.



Putin, a KGB veteran who knows whereof he speaks, told the gathering that the school massacre showed that “certain western circles would like to weaken Russia, just as the Romans wanted to destroy Carthage.” He thus suggested that the US and UK, not content with having bested Russia in the Cold War, now wanted to proceed to the dismemberment and total destruction of Russia – a Carthaginian peace like the one the Romans finally imposed at the end of the Punic Wars in 146 BC, when they poured salt into the land of Carthage so nothing would every grow there again. (Le Monde, September 8, 2004)



“There is no link between Russian policy in Chechnya and the hostage-taking in Beslan,” said Putin, meaning that the terrorists were using the Chechen situation as a pretext to attack Russia. According to a paraphrase in Le Monde: “The aim of that international terrorism, supported more or less openly by foreign states, whose names the Russian president didn’t want to name, is to weaken Russia from the inside, by criminalizing its economy, by provoking its disintegration through propagating separatism in the Caucasus and the transformation of the region into a staging ground for actions directed against the Russian Federation.”



“Mr. Putin,” continues Le Monde, “reiterated the accusation he had launched in a veiled form against western countries which appear to use double-talk. On the one side, their leaders assure the Russian President of their solidarity in the fight against terrorism. On the other hand, the intelligence services and the military – ‘who have not abandoned their Cold War prejudices,’ in Putin’s words -- entertain contacts with those the international press calls the ‘rebels.’ ‘Why are those who emulate Bin Laden called terrorists and the people who kill children, rebels? Where is the logic?’ asked Vladimir Putin, and then gave the answer: ‘Because certain political circles in the West want to weaken Russia just like the Romans wanted to destroy Carthage.’ ‘But, continued Putin, “we will not allow this scenario to come to pass.’”



Le Monde continues: “This is, according to [Putin] a bad calculation, because Russia is a factor of stability. By weakening it, the Cold War nostalgics are clearly acting against the interests of their own country.” In Putin’s words: “We are the sincere champions of this cooperation [against terrorism], we are open and loyal partners. But if foreign services have contacts with the ‘rebels,’ they cannot be treated as reliable allies, as Russia is for them.” (Le Monde, September 8, 2004)



In Guardian correspondent Jonathan Steele’s account of the meeting with Putin, this is the Russian President’s response to the US and UK on the question of negotiating with the Chechen guerrillas of Aslan Maskhadov: “Why don’t you meet Osama bin Laden, invite him to Brussels or to the White House and engage in talks, ask him what he wants and give it to him so he leaves you in peace? You find it possible to set some limitations in your dealings with these bastards, so why should we talk to people who are child-killers?” (London Guardian, September 7, 2004)



As Michel Chossudovsky pointed out some years back, the Chechen leaders Basayev and Al Khattab were trained in the CIA-run camps for Islamic fighters in Afghanistan. In 1999, Putin rode to power on a backlash against Chechen terror which he had in all probability staged himself – thus judoing a long-standing US-UK capability. The key point is that the Russian press is now openly denouncing London and Washington as centers for terrorist control. This can blow the lid off the 9-11 hoax.



On Saturday, September 4, Putin had delivered a national television address to the Russian people on the Beslan tragedy, which had left more than 300 dead, over half of them children. The main thrust was that terrorism constitutes international proxy warfare against Russia. Among other things Putin said: “In general, we need to admit that we did not fully understand the complexity and the dangers of the processes at work in our own country and in the world. In any case, we proved unable to react adequately. We showed ourselves to be weak, and the weak get beaten.”



“Some people would like to tear from us a tasty morsel. Others are helping them. They are helping, reasoning that Russia still remains one of the world’s major nuclear powers, and as such still represents a threat to them. And so they reason that this threat should be removed. Terrorism, of course, is just an instrument to achieve these gains.”



“What we are dealing with, are not isolated acts intended to frighten us, not isolated terrorist attacks. What we are facing is direct intervention of international terror directed against Russia. This is a total, cruel and full-scale war that again and again is taking the lives of our fellow citizens.” (Kremlin.ru, September 6, 2004)



Around the time of 9/11, Putin had pointed to open recruitment of Chechen terrorists going on in London, telling a German interviewer: “In London, there is a recruitment station for people wanting to join combat in Chechnya. Today -- not officially, but effectively in the open -- they are talking there about recruiting volunteers to go to Afghanistan.” (Focus -- German weekly newsmagazine, September 2001) In addition, it is generally known in well-informed European circles that the leaders of the Chechen rebels were trained by the CIA, and that the Chechens were backed by US-sponsored anti-Russian fighters from Afghanistan. In recent months, US-UK backed Chechens have destroyed two Russian airliners and attacked a Moscow subway station, in addition to the school atrocity.



Some aspects of Putin’s thinking were further explained by a press interview given by Aslambek Aslakhanov, the Chechen politician who is one of Putin’s official advisors. A dispatch from RIA Novosti reported Aslakhanov’s comments as follows: “The terrorists who seized the school in Beslan, North Ossetia, took their orders from abroad. ‘They were talking with people not from Russia, but from abroad. They were being directed,’ said Aslambek Aslakhanov, advisor to the President of the Russian Federation. ‘It is the desire of our “friends” – in quotation marks -- who have probably for more than a decade been carrying out enormous, titanic work, aimed at dismembering Russia. These people have worked very hard, and the fact that the financing comes from there and that they are the puppet masters, is also clear.” Aslakhanov, who was named by the terrorists as one of the people they were going to hold talks with, also told RIA Novosti that the bid for such “talks” was completely phony. He said that the hostage-takers were not Chechens. When he talked to them, by phone, in Chechen, they demanded that he talk Russian, and the ones he spoke with had the accents of other North Caucasus ethnic groups. (RIA Novosti, September 6, 2004)



On September 7, RIA Novosti reported on the demand of the Russian Foreign Ministry that two leading Chechen figures be extradited from London and Washington to stand trial in Russia. A statement from the Russia Foreign Ministry’s Department of Information and Press indicated that Russia will put the United States and Britain on the spot about extraditing two top Chechen separatist officials, who have been given asylum in Washington and London, respectively. They are Akhmad Zakayev, known as a “special representative” of Aslan Maskhadov (currently enjoying asylum in London), and Ilyas Akhmadov, the “Foreign Minister” of the unrecognized “Chechen Republic-Ichkeria” (now residing in the USA). (RIA Novosti, September 7, 2004)



“SCHOOL SEIZURE WAS PLANNED IN WASHINGTON AND LONDON”



This was the headline of an even more explicit unsigned commentary by the Russian news agency KMNews.ru. This analysis blames the Beslan school massacre squarely on the U.S. and British intelligence agencies. The point of departure here is that Shamil Basayev, the brutal Chechen field commander, has been linked to the attack (something that Putin advisor Aslambek Aslakhanov yesterday said was known to the Russian FSB, successor of the KGB). The article highlights the recent rapprochement of London and Washington with key representatives of Aslan Maskhadov: Britain’s giving asylum to Akhmad Zakayev (December 2003) and the USA welcoming Ilyas Akhmadov (August 2004).



KMNews: CHECHEN TERROR BOSS ON US STATE DEPARTMENT PAYROLL

KMNews writes: “In early August, ... ‘Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chechen Republic-Ichkeria’ Ilyas Akhmadov received political asylum in the USA. And for his ‘outstanding services,’ Akhmadov received a Reagan-Fascell grant,” including a monthly stipend, medical insurance, and a well-equipped office with all necessary support services, including the possibility of meetings with political circles and leading U.S. media....“What about our partners in the ‘anti-terrorist coalition,’ who provided asylum, offices and money to Maskhadov’s representatives?” asks the Russian press agency. Citing the official expressions of sympathy and offers of help from President Bush, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and State Department spokesman Richard Boucher, KMNews warns: “But let’s not shed tears of gratitude just yet. First we should ask: were ‘Special Representative of the President of CRI’ Zakayev or ‘Minister of Foreign Affairs of the CRI’ Akhmadov, located in Great Britain and the USA, aware of the terrorist acts that were in preparation? Beyond a doubt…. And let’s also find out, how Akhmadov is spending the money provided by the Reagan-Fascell Foundation. We note: this Foundation is financed by the U.S. Congress through the budget of the State Department! “Thus, the conclusion is obvious. Willingly or not, Downing Street and the White House provoked the guerrillas to these latest attacks. Willingly or not, Great Britain and the USA have nurtured the separatists with material, information and diplomatic resources. Willingly or not, the policy of London and Washington fostered the current terrorist acts.” “As the ancients said, cui bono? Perhaps we are too hasty with such sweeping accusations against our ‘friends’ and ‘partners’? Is there a motive for the Anglo-American ‘anti-terrorist coalition’ to fan the fires of terror in the North Caucasus?” “Alas, there is a motive. It is no secret, that the West is vitally interested in maintaining instability in the Caucasus. That makes it easier to pump out the fossil fuels, extracted in the Caspian region, and it makes it easier to control Georgia and Azerbaijan, and to exert influence on Armenia. Finally, it makes it easier to drive Russia out of the Caspian and the Caucasus. Divide et impera! - the leaders of the Roman Empire already introduced this simple formula for subjugation.”



KMNews: TERROR SUPPORTERS “ON THE BANKS OF THE THAMES AND THE POTOMAC”

KMNews continues: “Alas, it must be recognized that the co-authors of the current tragic events are to be found not in the Arab countries of the Middle East, but on the banks of the Thames and the Potomac. Will the leadership of Russia be able to make decisions, in this situation?” “Yes - if there is the political will. The first thing is that black must be called black, and white, white. It is time to admit that no “antiterrorist coalition” exists, that the West is pursuing its egotistical interests (spreading its political influence, seizing fossil fuels deposits, etc.). Our own coalition needs to be formed, with nations that are genuinely interested in eliminating terror in the North Caucasus. Finally, it is time to change the entire tactics and strategy of counterterrorism measures. It is obvious that catching female suicide bombers on the streets of Moscow or carrying out operations to free children who are taken hostage, are, so to speak, the ‘last line of defense.’ It is time to learn to make preemptive strikes against the enemy, and it’s time to carry combat onto the territory of the enemy. Otherwise, we shall be defeated.” (Source: KMNews.ru, September 7, 2004)



Izvestia stresses the probable ethnic composition of the terrorist death squad, and its likely role in exacerbating tensions in the ethnic labyrinth of the Caucasus. Izvestia finds the targeting of North Ossetia in the Beslan incident “not accidental,” pointing to the danger of “irreversible consequences” for interethnic relations between Ossetians, Ingushis and Chechens. “Russia is now facing multi-vectored threats along the entire Caucasus,” the paper writes. (Izvestia, September 3, 2004)



In the wake of Putin’s speech, prominent Russian commentators discussed the recent terror campaign against Russia in terms of a possible “casus belli” for a new East-West conflict. Several commentaries have reaffirmed Putin’s key statement, that international terrorism has no independent existence, but functions only as “an instrument,” wielded by powerful international circles committed (in part) to the early destruction of Russia as a nuclear-armed power.



A commentary in the widely read Russian business news service RosBusinessConsult (RBC) was entitled “The West is unleashing Jihads against Russia.” In language seldom heard since the end of the Cold War, RBC charges that the recent wave of terror attacks against Russia, beginning with the sabotage of two airplanes and a terror bombing at a Moscow subway station, and culminating so far in the Beslan attack, was immediately preceded by what RBC calls “an ultimatum from the West,” for Russia to turn over the Caucasus region to “Anglo-Saxon control.”

ANGLO-SAXON TERROR ULTIMATUM TO RUSSIA FROM THE LONDON ECONOMIST

“Some days prior to the onset of the series of acts of terrorism in Russia, which has cost hundreds of lives, a number of extremely influential Western mass-media, expressing establishment positions, issued a personal warning to Vladimir Putin, that Russia should get out of the Caucasus, or else his political career would come to an end. Therefore, when the President on Saturday spoke of a declaration of war having been made against Russia, this was not just a matter of so-called ‘international terrorism’... One week prior to the first acts of terrorism, the authoritative British magazine, the Economist, which expresses the positions of Great Britain’s establishment, formulated the Western position concerning the Caucasus, and above all the policy of the Anglo-Saxon elite, in a very precise manner,” RBC writes.



CZECH NGO BLOWS UP RUSSIAN TANK; BRITISH EXPERTS TRAIN CHECHEN GANGS



The RBC commentary goes on to cite the Economist of August 19, which contained what RBC characterizes as a virtual ultimatum to Russia. RBC notes that “the carrying out of such a series of coordinated, highly professional terrorist attacks, would be impossible without the help of qualified ‘specialists’.” RBC notes that at the end of August one such “specialist,” working for an NGO based in the Czech republic, was arrested for blowing up a Russian armed personnel carrier. Also, British “experts” have been found instructing Chechen gangs in how to lay mines. “It cannot be excluded, that also in Beslan, the logistics of the operation were provided by just such ‘specialists’,” notes RBC.



The RBC editorial concludes: “Apparently, by having recourse to large-scale terrorist actions, the forces behind that terrorism, have now acted directly to force a ‘change’ in the political situation in the Caucasus, propagating interethnic wars into Russia. “The only way to resist this, would be for Moscow to make it known, that we are ready to fight a new war, according to new rules and new methods -- not with mythical ‘international terrorists’, who do not and never existed, but with the controllers of the ‘insurgents and freedom fighters’; a war against the geopolitical puppet-masters, who are ready to destroy thousands of Russians for the sake of achieving their new division of the world.” (RBC, September 7, 2004)



In a related comment, the Chairman of the Duma Foreign Affairs Committee, Dmitri Rogozin, declared in an interview on Sunday September 5: “I think [those behind the terrorism] are those who would like to see Russia totally discredited as a power.... I think that the aim is to destabilize the political situation in the country and plunge Russia into total chaos.” (Ekho Moskvy, September 6, 2004)



Western press organs have responded to the school massacre with a campaign to blame, not the terrorists, but the Putin regime and Russian society. This disingenuous policy has further stoked Russian resentment. On September 6, Strana.ru headlined, “Western Press: The Tragedy Is Russia’s Own Fault,” commenting that “unlike official politicians, journalists do not want to admit that the bombings and hostage-takings in our country are acts of international terrorism.” Another example of this Putin-bashing was the article by Masha Lippman in the Washington Post of September 9.



A basic reason for the US-UK surrogate warfare against Russia is the great Anglo-Saxon fear of a continental bloc of the type which emerged during the run – up to Bush’s Iraq aggression. The centerpiece of the continental bloc is the German-Russian relationship. Washington and London fear that Russia will soon agree to accept euros in payment for its oil deliveries. This would not just prevent the Anglo-Americans from further skimming off oil transactions between Russia and Europe. It would represent the beginning of the end of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world, a role which the battered greenback, weakened by Bush’s $500 billion yearly trade deficit and Bush’s $750 billion budget deficit, can no longer fulfill. If Russia moves to the euro, it is expected that the Eurasian giant may be quickly followed by Iran, Indonesia, Venezuela, and other countries. This could put an end to the ability of the US to run astronomical foreign trade deficits, and would place the question of a US return to a production-based economy on the agenda. The oil-euro question is expected to be discussed at the upcoming Russian-German economic summit.




RUSSIA TO PAY FOR OIL WITH EUROS?


In a half-page article published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and headlined “Realizing the Strategic Partnership,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov predicted key progress in the energy sector. Lavrov said that numerous proposals by Moscow on how to expand cooperation in the sphere of future-shaping high-tech branches of the economy will be put on the agenda of the September 11-12 German-Russian economic summit in Hamburg. Russia calls for the development of “mutually beneficial cooperation in aerospace, information technology, telecom, biotechnology, development of new materials, laser technology, and nanotechnology. Lavrov wrote that Russia expects a breakthrough at the Hamburg talks -- which will also deal with the energy sector. (Frankfurter Allgemeine, September 3, 2004)
 
The true number of deaths in Irak is not thousands but hundreds of thousands !
09.11.04 (4:08 am)   [edit]
There is a scandalous lie in medias that war in Irak was "clean" ... under Clinton since an enquiry below revealed "that more 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children were killed or died as a direct result of the American-led attack", guess what 's the real number of deaths under a "dirty" Bush war !

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0420-05.htm" title="http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0420-05.htm" target="_blank"http://www.commondreams.org/v...

"The Unthinkable is Becoming Normal."

"A study released just before Christmas 1991 by the Medical Educational Trust revealed that more 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children were killed or died as a direct result of the American-led attack. This was barely reported, and the homicidal nature of the "war'' never entered public consciousness in this country, let alone America. "

Worst :

"The Pentagon's deliberate destruction of Iraq's civilian infrastructure, such as power sources and water and sewage plants, together with the imposition of an embargo as barbaric as a medieval siege, produced a degree of suffering never fully comprehended in the West. Documented evidence was available, volumes of it; by the late 1990s, more than 6,000 infants were dying every month, and the two senior United Nations officials responsible for humanitarian relief in Iraq, Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck, resigned, protesting the embargo's hidden agenda. Halliday called it "genocide".

"As of last July, the United States, backed by the Blair government, was wilfully blocking humanitarian supplies worth $5.4bn, everything from vaccines and plasma bags to simple painkillers, all of which Iraq had paid for and the Security Council had approved. "
 
Why merchant bankers war to the death with the middle class

From the same guy than previous post


Why merchant bankers war to the death with the middle class.
------

The middle classes are self-supporting and self respecting. Their virture is thrift, their goals are their children's welfare, peace, virtue and future happiness.

Merchant bankers can't make money from people like that.

Merchant bankers want to amass great wealth and servants through lending money to governments for wars or for extravagant projects. They want to deal, not with little individual inventers of better mousetraps and better ideas, but with big governments and big privileged monopoly corporations -- one big stupid profligate government that can borrow billions at a crack. They don't want the money they give to governments and big corporations to come from lots of thrifty middle-class saving households -- rather they want the giant deposits of drug dealers -- hundreds of billions delivered in a lump which they can invest anywhere in the world they want.

Middle class people favor banking laws of single branch banks that borrow and lend locally, where people's savings show up in local investments and local jobs and better local tomorrows. Merchant bankers dispise that system because it leaves no place for them. When merchant bankers find middle classes they must break them up -- flooding them with narcotics and alcohol and prostitution and anything to create the vice that will generate the profligacy that will destabilize things enought for corruption to take hold and the irresponsible big borrowing to begin. Create poverty and then you can start a movement to "end poverty" and get governments to spend billions on social workers to visit the people driven to drink by the cultural sabotage of merchant bankers who engineered the economic failures that drive men to drink.

Merchant bankers invented and secretly bankrolled communism as a weapon against "liberalism" (today we call it populism, because the bankers have corrupted the true original meaning of the word liberal (which means free and intelligent -- trusting people to do the best for themselves individually and as a community by following their natural tendency toward middle class living.) Communists have one goal -- to badmouth, sabotage and
overthrow middle classes wherever they find them, to overthrow liberalsim, to overthrow populism.

All wars are stupid, unless you are a merchant banker. We have wars because merchant bankers are in control.

The middle classes of the United States were enslaved when the Robber Barons, profiteers of the Civil War, in allinace with the merchant bankers of Europe (Rothschilds and Warburgs etc.) forced through the Federal Reserve Act two days before Christmas in 1913 -- perhaps after most Congressmen were home in bed.

The Federal Reserve was meant as a weapon against booms and busts -- those "business cycles� were really created by manipulations of J.P. Morgan, the American representative of European merchant bankers -- and it was sold as a system that in times of depression/recession would allow more loanable reserves to be created in each bank in the system so that local lending could increase to end the recession etc. -- but that is not how the merchant bankers used the Federal Reserve once it was created. Instead of injecting new loanable funds locally in recession and preventing too much currency that would cause inflation in each of the twelve seperate districts -- rather the Fed within a year began manipulating the money supply exclusively through buying and selling securities in New York City -- and what are securities but government debt -- and they wanted more and more debt for bigger and bigger open market operations.

Recently the Chairman of the Federal Reserve was being investigated for using the Fed to keep the price of gold low so that Merchant bankers could buy Federal Reserve gold at far less price than the true unmanipulated market price would have been. Too bad all the evidence and most of the investigators died in the North Tower when a bomb went off on the 23rd floor at the precise moment a jet liner -- flown by remote control, and perhaps with no hijackers -- crashed into the tower 40 stories above.

Merchant bankers plundered the resources of Somalia -- and now we are going to war to crush the populists who are trying to restart a nation.

The Taliban invited out the big oil companies that wanted to build a pipeline to take big shares of Afgan oil wealth and otherwise run the country, and they also erradicated the opium of the "Northern Alliance" drug lords who provide China with the prime ingredient for their heroin -- which provides the (laundered) funds for merchant bankers to invest in Chinese slave labor industry.

And so there is no middle class. We are all servants in a servant economy, debt slaves on the global plantation -- lots of porn lots of drugs lots of misery in an around-the-world slum.

Well that should be enough to open conversation. Bring it up at your bridge or garden club.

I say out there. Any thoughts?

HOW THE FUTURE WAS STOLEN AND WHY THE MIDDLE CLASS IS SHRINKING
09.07.04 (11:30 pm)   [edit]
If you want to know more about M3 Money supply here's a post I found from a guy Dick Eastman

HOW THE FUTURE WAS STOLEN: MERCHANT BANKERS

How the Future Was Stolen

by Dick Eastman

Everything you hear about the Federal Reserve (and the Euro Central Bank for that matter) raising interest rates to �combat inflation� is private disinformation from a deviant banking elite intended to conceal the fact that the middle classes are being robbed blind and their hopes for the future are being stripped from their existence.

Unfortunately the same elite has dumbed down most of us to the point where it is difficult to follow an explanation of how this super-theft is accomplished. So copy this and go someplace where you can concentrate.
* * *
The middle class is shrinking because the money supply that the middle class uses, M1, is being contracted while the wide-transaction moneys exclusively used by the financial elite and multinational corporations are being expanded. So instead of the whole economy undergoing a boom followed by a bust as the state alternately inflates a commonly shared currency and bank credit and then tightens it, today we see the middle class languishing on an M1- money contracted �bust loop� (the internal �little people's� economy) even as big banks, multinational corporations and billionaire currency traders enjoy an easy money boom that captures most of the real-goods �economic pie� for itself and, more important, all the claims to future economic pie (the result of savings/investment on the elite loop) while the middle class, lacking even the money to meet its expected commitments goes into debt (receiving pieces of �negative economic pie� for the future).

The M1 money supply (think: cash and check-book money, or in bigger words, domestically circulating currency and bank-loan generated checking accounts called demand deposits), both as a stock and as a flow, has been SHRINKING with very little fanfare since the current Fed Chairman assumed his position under Ronald Reagan. This means the circulating money media of the middle classes--which the middle classes use to pay their debts, buy clothes for school, and take the family out for dinner, fix up the house, buy a new car, or make donations to the local orphanage --has been less and less each year. (This explains the shocking rise in middle class debt (that the prostitute press downplays, falsely attributing the rise as the result of �spend-now-rather-than- later� decisions of middle class people themselves--as if they had any choice in the matter!

But while the Fed has been shrinking M1 it has been allowing the monies of the elite, the so-called �wide transactions monies,� M2 and M3 to expand. Under Greenspan and during the Presidencies of Reagan, Bush and Clinton, the Fed has been holding M2 and M3 (each of which includes M1 monies, but then adds the wide transactions money-supply components used in the multinational-loop transactions of elite institutions. I�m talking about money market deposit accounts and general purpose money market mutual funds, but more important, the overnight Eurodollar deposits issued to US residents from foreign US banks and, most powerful of all, the overnight and continuing contract REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. These are the privileged money-supply components that the middle class never gets to touch. What owner of a vacuum-cleaner repair shop or a machine shop parks his �excess liquidity� at a commercial bank in the form of a short-term loan to the bank, with a REPO, redeemable the next day for principle and interest? And which middle class guy with �an idea for a better mouse trap� gets to borrow that cash?

By the way, don�t be fooled by the �overnight� aspect of these loans. The banks accepting these loans know that they can count on sufficient �parked money� each and every night to permit highly significant, i.e., huge, loans on the basis of them. This is a source of money that the little �building and loan association� managed by �good ol� George Bailey� could never touch for the residents of Bedford Falls (the character in Frank Capra�s populist film of pre-WWII Americana: �It�s a Wonderful Life�)

The REPO is a computer data entry that, for all practical purposes is money. I�ll go even further: since it is a bank's IOU and can claim the creation of new demand deposits when it is electronically �turned in� it functions exactly like the private-bank generated monies of the early days of the Republic, in the relatively unregulated days before the (American) Civil War.

I am telling you that the elite have their own private loop for their own less-regulated AND more-privileged monies. It is these monies of the elite that are the components of money-supply definitions of M2 and M3 within the definition of M2 and M3 that have expanded as the M1 component has been shrinking. (In other words, the relative share of M1 has been shrinking against the REPO�s and CD�s within M2 and M3.) Thus M2 appears to be stable, to be �held relatively constant,� ostensibly to �keep inflation under control� in the manner of monetarists.

This money circulates in the multinational corporate and financial realms of Wall Street, not in your home town or backwater state. (WHY are some states backwater states?); a related topic for another time.)--and when it is spent it is spent on new factories on the Communist mainland of China, or a new Wal Mart that will put �Ma and Pa� stores of your home town OUT OF BUSINESS. (Ma and Pa spend their PROFITS in your town; Wal Mart sends its profits to Arkansas. Get it? The Waltons (billionaires) get the profits that used to go to middle-class mom and pop. (Ma can be seen today offering you free samples of cheese spread as a senior-citizen employee of Wal Mart. (I am not knocking Wal Mart. I�m just saying that the capital for those giant stores came from a lending source unavailable to Ma and Pop.) And before someone tells me that Wal Mart is better than Ma and Pa, let�s switch our example to restaurants. Could your grandmother cook a better meal than McDonalds? Then why hasn�t she driven McDonalds out of business? Maybe she does not belong to the little circle of pals on the closed investment loop, closed to little guys that is.

At this point we need to consider the effects of a monetary contraction.

The 1929 crash destroyed a third of the money supply. That monetary contraction (caused by the mass calling in of bank loans to meet the cash demands brokerage houses that
investors meet their margins (they had bought stock on credit during the good times) plus downward rigidity of wages (there is less money circulating and lower prices at the stores but no one cuts wages to bring them into balance with other depressed prices--they settle for firing a third of the work force instead, so that those who kept their jobs now have their old wage and lower prices in the store. That is why those who kept their jobs in the Great Depression where much better off than before, as one can see by comparing the average home built in the twenties with the average home of the 30�s. (And I think the massive margin calls by brokerage firms was deliberate--why else would Winston Churchill have been on Wall Street that day? Britain needed the crash because Churchill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had set the gold content of the Pound too high considering the weakened economic condition of Britain after WW1; Wall Street Relatives were willing to help out, and wipe out a lot of their competition from middle-class businessmen at the same time.) It is true.

It is as John C. Calhoun said back in 1836: �A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks.� Today such a vast surplus exists, but only for the benefit of those with access to the privileged money-circulation loop.

The elite-serving media denies that the middle class is hurting. The truth is the upper income groups have had great growth in income and wealth accumulation, the poor are slightly better off (except for their prospects of entering the middle class someday), but the middle has been hollowed out. Real wages of the middle class are dropping in the Clinton "boom." Think of the manufacturing jobs (the �elite of the blue collar� jobs) gone to China. Think of the middle-management jobs eaten up by mergers and downsizing (increasing monopolistic concentration of firms). Think of the Ph.D.'s driving cabs. Think of the burger-flipping jobs awaiting college graduates. Think of the small businesses that have vanished due to Wal Mart and a middle class that can no longer afford their advantages. Think of the designer tee-shirts that pass for fashion. (It is amazing how the servitors of the Establishment can conceal our own impoverishment from us. (Kids today have no clue how good it once was for the typical person). And the gains of the poor are not moves towards the middle class but toward greater dependency: more transfer payments (the result of vote buying) and benefits at the expense of middle-class, not fat-cat,
taxpayers. (A good example of the deception is the way legislators call an increase in the minimum wage "middle-class legislation."--unless the middle-class teens on their first jobs are all the middle class they are talking about)--the minimum wage increases ruin small-business restaurants for example. The point is, that is small potatoes as help for the middle class.

There is an identity recognized by all economists which can be simply stated as

MV = PQ.

Which means that the money exchanging hands in a year (MV) equals the total of receipts for goods and services (PQ).

M= money supply,

V=velocity,

P=price of goods and services.

Q=the goods and services purchased.

(P can be thought of as an average or index or, or a mathematical vector and so can Q). Now velocity (V) is fairly constant due to institutional factors such as: 1)the fact that we are usually paid every two weeks or every month; 2)that we usually receive government transfer payments every month etc.--so if EVERYONE was paid every month V would equal 12, get it?)

But if V is constant then MV = PQ means PQ is a function of money supply (M) alone.. But a change in M can affect either P (meaning inflation or deflation) or Q (meaning
more or less economic pie, a change in the standard of living as measured by consumption of goods and services). If M has been shrinking we must have either deflation
(P goes down) or people ending up worse off (Q goes down).

Now the question is: Should the Federal Reserve use M1 as the money supply it watches or one of the wide transactions definitions, M2 or M3, the equation MV = PQ?
Milton Friedman suggested and argued for M1 and Greenspan says he �sometimes� looks at M2, but has definitely stopped monitoring M1. But if M1 is all that a large segment of the economy (the middle class) ever cycles through its household and if that M1 is contracting then these households are either experiencing deflation or a fall in their standard of living. (You'd better read that again.)

But prices ARE holding steady. Then the middle class must be losing in goods and services, since in MV = PQ both V and P are relatively constant and M (here M1) has fallen.

The lower middle class only have M1 (far from being financial asset holders, over 51 percent of American households have 0 or negative net wealth; (due to mortgage, consumer debt etc. - think of the rise in bankruptcies.)

(By the way, the advent of electronic banking does nothing to alter this picture--except insofar as the banks offering the online banking are the banks most likely to send the money electronically deposited as investment capital to China to build giant factories manned by new-coolie labor. The profits generated by this move never filters down to the �lower loop� to fertilize local American business enterprise. Our �savings for the future� takes away our capacity to earn what it takes to buy those goods that line Wal Mart shelves.

Now as for my contention that M1 is middle class life blood - here is a list of different components that go into this complex reality we are calling M (money supply) and that economists use to distinguish definition M1 and broader definition M2.

1. Currency (outside the Fed and the reserve deposits of banks because they never circulate)

2. Traveler's checks

3. Demand deposits (checking accounts; created when banks, S & L's etc. make loans)

4. ATS checkable deposits

5. NOW accounts

6. Credit Union share draft accounts

All of the above are M1, the familiar "spending money" of the economy. But there are other liquid assets that function as money in MV = PQ. Let's go on:

7. Savings deposits

8. Money market deposit accounts

9. Small-denomination time deposits

10. General Purpose Money Market Mutual Funds

11. Overnight Eurodollar deposits issued to US residents from foreign US banks

and most critical to my argument:

12. overnight (and continuing contract) repurchase agreements: component of M that has displaced M1 money in the overall economy --but these non-M1 monies circulate in the corporate and financial realms of Wall Street in Middle America town--and when it is spent it is spent on new factories in China or a new Wal mart that will put Ma and Pa stores of your home town OUT OF BUSINESS. (Ma and Pa spend their profits in your town; Wal Mart sends its profits to Arkansas. Get it? The Waltons (billionaires) get the profits that used to go to middle-class mom and pop. (Ma can be seen today offering you free samples of cheese spread as an employee of Wal Mart.)

MV =PQ is an always-true identity called "The Equation of Exchange" but when you assume that V is constant it becomes "The Quantity Theory of Money."

As for you Keynesians, (I'll bet of the ten people that read this post 9 have used Samuelson�s textbook in college.

To convert my Marshallian analysis (Keynes was a pupil of Alfred Marshal) to the Keynesian framework, merely mark the dollars spent in a year, i.e., MV, according to whether they were spent by consumers, or by investing businesses, or by government, and MV is thus redefined as C + I + G. And you have the simple Keynesian model:
PQ = C + I + G.

This slight of hand trick by Keynes enabled him to confuse people and conceal the real role of money. Thanks to Keynes, now when you want to increase Q you merely goose government spending, G. And when you want to fight inflation you merely reduce C (through taxation of consumer income).

Future standards of living are based on present investment. The savings (foregone consumption) allows the investment to take place.

I'm distinguishing between middle-class enhancing investment (Ma and Pa's business) vs. that billionaire who built the sneaker factory in China and Vietnam. (Much profit to him--lost wages to the American shoe factory
workers, ignoring the national security ramifications not relevant to my explanation.).

Well, today the M1 money supply is being contracted, but you do not hear about it. The Wall Street Journal does not regularly report M1 (although the superior Investor's Business Daily does) and when it does it does not do so prominently.

The shrinking of M1 is a great secret (known only to economists and others who have reason to consult the statistics). During the chairmanship of Greenspan the FED started tracking M2 and M3 and interest rates, i.e., the money the corporate and International (Eurodollar) loops circulate--the money that never touches the wage earner or the small businessman of the middle-class loop. The interest rates of course, the per year �prices� of loanable funds are of course of importance to the bond-holding Establishment, Greenspan's number one constituency and concern.

In the old days we had inflationary boom and then bust for the entire U.S. economy. Now we have ongoing boom for the corporate and international (elite loop) transactors and perpetual bust for the domestic little-guy transactors (let�s call it the �schmo loop�), you and me.

From the Nation and Rolling Stone to Human Events and Readers Digest, to current economics text books, the verdict has been in: we are losing the middle class.

As the middle-class small firm alternative jobs dry up, all that is left is working for the oligopolist/oligopsonist firms of the Post-Industrial State, in the new �Service Economy�
(read Servant Economy.)

How the FED is knowingly preparing a 1929 Crash
09.07.04 (11:25 pm)   [edit]
=http://www.usagold.com/gilded...

Remember (see previous post) Greenspan's explanation of 1929 stock market crash in his 1966 book "The Objectivist" : “The excess credit which the Fed pumped into the economy spilled over into the stock market- triggering a fantastic speculative boom.” And, “…By 1929 the speculative imbalances had become overwhelming and unmanageable by the Fed.”

Since a picture is worth a thousand words see above. It tells that the future will not be bright because they will restrict this credit when they won't need to hide that your money is being stolen any more. When ? Probably when the mass of baby boomers will retire in about 10 years. Then and like they did in 1929 they will pretext the necessity to restrict credits because of a fear of market bubble which is completely cynical since they created it before and waited for the situation to be "unmanageable by the Fed" using Greenspan's own word.
 
How your money is stolen without your knowledge
09.05.04 (12:04 am)   [edit]
Exerpt from Congressman Ron Paul speech in US congress end 2003:

"Alan Greenspan, years before he became Federal Reserve Board Chairman in charge of flagrantly debasing the U.S. dollar, wrote about this connection between sound money, prosperity, and freedom. In his article “Gold and Economic Freedom” (The Objectivist, July 1966), Greenspan starts by saying: “An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is an issue that unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense…that gold and economic freedom are inseparable.” Further he states that: “Under the gold standard, a free banking system stands as the protector of an economy’s stability and balanced growth.” Astoundingly, Mr. Greenspan’s analysis of the 1929 market crash, and how the Fed precipitated the crisis, directly parallels current conditions we are experiencing under his management of the Fed. Greenspan explains: “The excess credit which the Fed pumped into the economy spilled over into the stock market- triggering a fantastic speculative boom.” And, “…By 1929 the speculative imbalances had become overwhelming and unmanageable by the Fed.” Greenspan concluded his article by stating: “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.” He explains that the “shabby secret” of the proponents of big government and paper money is that deficit spending is simply nothing more than a “scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth.” Yet here we are today with a purely fiat monetary system, managed almost exclusively by Alan Greenspan, who once so correctly denounced the Fed’s role in the Depression while recognizing the need for sound money."

You can now understand why they are overflowing the economy with credits making believe that they want to sustain economy whereas in truth they are preparing the collapse at long term. That's why central banks are manipulating the Gold Market:

Big Revelation: The FRENCH PRESIDENT FRANCOIS MITTERAND WAS A FAKE SOCIALIST BUT NAZI BOOTLICKER
09.02.04 (2:00 am)   [edit]
Remember Kurt Waldem at the head of UN who has been discovered to be an ex-nazi, now it's the turn of the former french (fake) "socialist" President François Mitterand who had not only been a Nazi Bootliker in the past but has continued until his death to have tight link with the CAGOULE which is the historical extreme right wing movement in France ! What's more Mitterand is the FOUNDER of the socialist party in France so not only Nazi guys have managed to infiltrate the left party but they have even managed to create it from ground up and so control the potential revendication of true left people ! Of course all these revelations have only surfaced AFTER he was gone don't wonder why...

http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/mn/mn.php?issue=093" title="http://www.etext.org/Politics/MIM/mn/mn.php?issue=093" target="_blank"http://www.etext.org/Politics...

FRENCH PRESIDENT EXPOSED: MITTERAND WAS A NAZI BOOTLICKER

For 14 years, the president of France has been
Francois Mitterand, leader of the so-called
Socialist Party. In the July MIM Notes, we
reported the New York Times's passing reference to
the fact that the Socialist Party leader and
former prime minister B. Craxi of Italy took
bribes from the Mafia and also had close personal
friends who lead the fascist parties and new
government of Italy. Now it turns out that
Francois Mitterand himself was an official in the
Nazi puppet government of Vichy France when the
Nazis occupied France during World War II. In
1943, he won a medal for the highest loyalty to
the regime.

Journalist Pierre Pean finally broke this story by
publishing a new 616 page biography. The Boston
Globe referred to the book at length and
interviewed the author. The author said, "All this
information was available for years. ... It's
almost impossible for me to understand why it has
come out now. That's a sad story for French
journalism." For MIM, this falls under the
category of "What did you expect?" That's the
nature of bourgeois journalism - very uncritical
of people with great power.

Till the end of his life, the police chief of the
Nazi-puppet regime in France had one close
personal friend - Francois Mitterand. Rene
Bousquet avoided trial for his role rounding up
Jews during the Nazi occupation, but he finally
met an assassin's bullet last year.

Between 1986 and 1992, Mitterand put a wreath at
the grave of Marshal Philippe Petain every year.
Mitterand only stopped under pressure from Jewish
groups. Petain was the head of the
collaborationist regime of Vichy France.

After World War II, Mitterand also continued to
have close friends amongst the remnants of an
underground fascist group called La Cagoule which
staged political assassinations against Jews. This
is not to mention that as an 18-year-old,
Mitterand himself belonged to ultra-right
organizations and went to demonstrations for the
expulsion of all foreigners and wrote in ultra-
right periodicals. Such youthful mistakes could be
ignored if the subsequent life justified ignoring
them.

Mitterand did fight the Germans during the war,
but after serving time in a prison camp that he
escaped, he joined the collaborationist
government. He won his medal from the Nazi-puppet
government in 1943, but he did join the
"Resistance" to the Nazi occupation in the closing
years of the war, after the Soviet Red Army had
turned the tide against the Nazis.

It appears that Mitterand was one of those
fascists who like the would-be fascists in the
Soviet Union, did not enjoy having fascism imposed
by fascists from Germany. Hence, we see Mitterand
as always a nationalist attracted to power in an
imperialist country. He had his disagreements with
other fascists, but that is inevitable because
fascism can never work on a global scale, since
there is only room for one aggressive imperialist
nationalism in the fascist world in the end. Only
a system based on internationalism - equality of
nations - has a future if the species is to
survive at all, and only communism can make
internationalism a reality.

In the 1980s, MIM Notes reported that under
president Francois Mitterand, French economic ties
with apartheid South Africa actually increased.
While the rest of the world was struggling to cut
off ties to the apartheid regime, so-called
socialist Mitterand was strengthening those ties.

The fascist pattern now makes sense as Mitterand
concludes his 77-year life. It is not hard to see
why the French ruling class chose Mitterand to be
president.
