All the "visionary rhetoric" BLAH BLAH BLAH, "New World Order" talk I hear from you can't dispute the FACTS!!
I think that the JFK documentary is a good starting point for all to understand what has happened to the government we once knew.
Someday I'd like to touch on what former CIA Director William Colby had told the press about the Oklahoma City bombing shortly before he was murdered.
It get's VERY VERY interesting.....and then we had 911.....and here we are today.

INFLATION BREWING & GOLD IS SHINING
http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_05/aden111605.html
Mary Anne & Pamela Aden
There was a lot of news this month. Some of these developments affected the markets and some didn't, but they could in the future and here's what we're watching…
First, it was impressive that gold hit an 18 year high while bonds confirmed a major downward reversal. Since both of these markets are very sensitive to inflation, they're now both reinforcing that more inflation is coming.
In fact, gold has always led inflation and interest rates, and it's happening this time too. Gold has been rising for over four years, and inflation and interest rates have been following. The rises in inflation, however, have been intensifying lately (see Chart 1). Last month, for example, U.S. consumer prices surged the most in 25 years at a 14.4% annual rate. In the past two months, producer prices soared 22.8% and 8.4% annualized and, along with import prices, both rose the most in 15 years last month. And it's not only in the U.S… inflation moved up in the U.K. in its strongest jump in eight years, and the story is similar in other countries as well.
The main reason why is because energy prices have been soaring and worldwide monetary policies have been loose. But we don't think it's a coincidence that this inflation surge is coinciding with the appointment of Ben Bernanke to replace Alan Greenspan as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The announcement was generally well received, but bonds didn't like it because prices declined significantly. Since the bond market looks ahead, this weakness suggests Bernanke is going to be an inflationary Fed head. Gold is signaling the same thing.
TOUGH JOB AHEAD
We wouldn't be surprised, considering his comment that the U.S. has a printing press allowing it to produce as many dollars as it wishes and they could drop money from helicopters if deflation became a risk. Okay, maybe he was kidding but there's no question that the job will be tough for an academic with little policymaking experience, or anyone else.
With debt, deficits and spending soaring at unprecedented levels, the economy has never looked so unbalanced. The Comptroller General of the U.S. says long-term government promises to retirees, veterans and others now amounts to a shocking $350,000 for every full time worker. He also said this past year may have been the most fiscally reckless in U.S. history, and fiscal irresponsibility is the greatest future threat to the U.S. Reinforcing this, former Fed chief Paul Volker feels there's a 75% chance of a crisis in the next few years. He's also warning about inflation and so is Greenspan.
Mr. Bernanke is certainly going to be faced with a delicate balancing act, especially with interest rates and inflation rising, the economy slowing, consumers nervous, an ongoing energy problem, a real estate bubble bigger than the 2000 stock bubble, Chinese competition, an expensive war that has already cost $700 billion, hurricane expenses in the hundreds of billions following the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history and so on. It makes you wonder how it's all going to work out. But for now, inflation, higher gold, commodities and interest rates, and lower stock and bond prices look like they'll be part of the mix.
SECOND TERM JINX AND WILD CARDS
The markets are usually volatile during a new Fed chairman's first year. When Greenspan took over in 1987, for instance, the stock market crashed shortly thereafter. It's interesting to note this is also coinciding with Bush's second term. We can't explain why but going back to 1960, there have been four presidential reelections, prior to Bush, and each time a scandal emerged which hurt the president and it was bearish for stocks with the market dropping between 25% and 45%.
Now we have Bush and as his second term unfolds, things aren't looking good this time either. Libby's indictment, which is the first for a White House official in 130 years, combined with suspicions over Rove and Cheney's involvement, the Miers withdrawal, the unpopularity and growing questions over the Iraq war and the Katrina delays have resulted in Bush's lowest approval rating yet. If history repeats, these problems could intensify along with stock market weakness, which would likely coincide with inflation and higher interest rates… Then there're the wild cards we also have to consider…
*We believe changing weather patterns will continue to be one of the biggest forces affecting the markets. That was clearly illustrated this hurricane season, which made several records. Not only did it start the earliest ever, but it included three category 5 hurricanes out of only five in this category over the past 70 years. Following Katrina, Wilma came along and it was the strongest and largest hurricane ever registered in the Caribbean.
Experts believe this is going to continue. Aside from the personal tragedies and losses involved, this will keep upward pressure on oil and commodities, which also reinforces this inflationary scenario.
*One very disturbing development is the radical turn in Iran. By calling for Israel's destruction, while defying world opinion with their nuclear program, which is run by Revolutionary Guards, celebrating the 25 year anniversary of the U.S. hostages, as they recall 40 ambassadors and form alliances with terrorist groups, Iran's new president seems to be deliberately looking for war as he continues insulting the West.
After Iraq, the prospect of another war is uninviting but if Iran continues, an invasion by someone seems almost inevitable. Since Iran has the world's second largest oil reserves, that would surely drive the oil price higher, fueling more inflation.
*There's also been a lot of news about bird flu, especially because it's spreading into Europe. The big fear is that it could turn into a pandemic like in 1918. Scientists agree a pandemic will happen sooner or later and many have asked how that would affect the markets.
We just finished a book about the 1918 pandemic, which killed over 50 million people worldwide. What stands out most is that panic and fear were so widespread, we doubt if anyone even cared about the markets.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to note that the economy generally came to a halt and the stock market dropped. There's no reason to believe it would be any different today. We can assume trade and travel would be totally disrupted and people would stay home, which would hurt businesses, stocks and the economy. Plus, prices would likely rise due to shortages, and so would gold because of fear and uncertainty. Considering the current flu hype, even a mini scare would likely affect the markets.
---
For now, inflation is the overall dominant economic trend. Deflationary forces have taken a back seat and the tug of war between these two forces has diminished, at least for the time being. Gold and bonds are both reinforcing this and they're the two best inflation leaders we know of.
THE NEW WAVE
In large part, this inflationary outcome is due to China's ongoing growth as it evolves into a super power, as well as the growth in India and other emerging countries. The soaring industrial, commodity and energy sectors are areas that have clearly been affected as demand for raw materials and energy increases.
Growing global demand has been the driving force pushing oil up in recent years, rising six fold since 1999, as it reached its latest record high in August when Katrina hit. Strong global demand will keep upward pressure on oil, especially as doubts continue about sufficient supply. This uncertainty at a time when known reserves could be depleted at the current consumption rate, will not only keep upward pressure on the oil price, but on inflation and gold too since gold and oil move together (see Chart 2).
China is also creating new demand for gold as an investment as it's been encouraging its citizens to buy gold. India has always been a major accumulator of gold and their gold consumption is expected to rise 33% this year. Inflation worries in general are also causing money to go into gold. Plus, more demand for gold is coming from the world's oil exporters, as they buy gold with some of their revenues.
Monetary inflation has also been growing by leaps and bounds over the years (see Chart 3). And monetary inflation leads price inflation, which means we have a double whammy... rising money supply and strong ongoing demand for commodities, which together will translate into higher inflation. It's already happening and it's good for gold.
A SECULAR MEGA UPTREND
Gold, the precious metals, commodities and interest rates generally move together in major secular moves. The current bull market is five years old. This means it's just getting started, in spite of record highs in certain commodities. Secular bull markets tend to last 15-20 years on average and they tend to coincide with wars. In other words, we probably have more than a decade or so to go before this major move is over.
The road to good investing in the years ahead is going to be dominated by gold. Gold rises during economic and global uncertainty, and when the monetary system is unsound. It rises when the reserve currency of the world is burdened and when most countries don't want a strong currency in order to compete. Gold is basically a barometer for the economy and it's a safe haven. It's currently stronger than stocks or bonds and by all indications, this mega trend is going to stay intact. That is, gold will continue to outshine all other investment classes during the current secular bull market, despite normal ups and downs along the way.

DZRFF....I'm loaded up with Canadien junior energy. I think we are "early to the game" with these. It may take a while but I do expect "FPP or FieldPoint Energy like returns" from these.
One BIG thing I'm speculating on.....I do know that many of the major discount brokers are gearing up to allow buying/selling of Canadien equities. That will DEFINATELY increase invester demand versus "pink sheet" buying/selling......PLUS...
I feel crude oil is very near an intermediate-term bottom now. I think the next leg of the energy bull is about to begin.
Should be some 10-baggers "hiding out" in Canadien junior energy. DZRFF may get frothy and become a "10-bagger" some day just like our OTC BB friends in energy were.

Prominent Conservative Leader: Government in Hands of Psychopaths
May stage terror attacks
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2005/151105inhands.htm
Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson | November 15 2005
Former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Dr. Paul Craig Roberts expressed his dire warning that the US government has fallen into the hands of psychopaths and that the Neo-Cons in the Bush administration may be set to stage another terror attack in the US as part of a black operation to demolish growing dissent and coerce the public to rally behind the government once again.
During an interview with the Alex Jones Show, Roberts cited a Capitol Hill Blue article concerning a leaked memo circulating between top Republican leaders.
The memo outlines potential strategies to bring their agenda back online, including the capture of Osama bin Laden, a drastic turnaround in the economy or a resolution of the war in Iraq.
The most alarming option includes a terrorist attack that would validate the President's war on terror and "restore his image as leader of he American people."
This document adds to the mountainous pile of smoking gun evidence of government complicity in staged terror attacks and other false flag operations. It has now been declassified, as we already knew, that the Gulf of Tonkin never happened. It was staged to get us into Vietnam. Operation Northwoods was the official US government plan to carry out 9/11 style attacks against the American people and blame it on foreign enemies as a pretext for war.
Publicly published PNAC documents before 9/11 had saliva stains all over them as Dick Cheney and others talked about helpful Pearl Harbor attacks.
Paul Craig Roberts
Roberts went further than he has ever gone before in stating that the Neo-Cons were worse than Hitler and Stalin because they publicly embrace torture and pre-emptive war, something that past despots at least tried to hide.
As the Senate bill to block torture is blocked by Bush and Cheney, the promotion of torture in official circles continues.
US National Security advisor Stephen Hadley refused to rule out torture in the case of an imminent attack, telling CNN's Late Edition that there are cases where the Bush administration's empty pledge not to torture would apply.
George Bush' repeated statements of "we do not torture" would certainly ring hollow to the thousands of disappeared individuals, now subject to God knows what in secret ex-Soviet gulag camps all over the Eastern Bloc.
And also to those subject to torture mastermind Donald Rumsfeld's Copper Green program, which manifested itself with arbitrary rape and fatal beatings at Camp X-ray and Abu Ghraib.
Paul Craig Roberts said that the US government is in the hands of dangerous psychopaths who are a disgrace to the human race and who should be arrested as war criminals and turned over the the Hague.
Roberts outlined his conviction that the torture program was not set up to gain any kind of real information from accused detainees because torture is renowned for extracting useless and false information. The real reason for the torture is to make the terrorists implicate themselves and thus create the perception of a real terrorist threat.
This is exactly the process in Uzbekistan, where the government was caught torturing innocent people into confession and then using the confessions as evidence that the government needed to crack down on terror.
Roberts said that the CIA was aware that the vast majority of detainees are not terrorists, proven by the fact that Pakistani gangsters admitted to rounding up innocent people in street sweeps and selling them to the US government as terrorists for anything up to $25,000. These people are now at Guantanamo Bay.
Roberts pointed out that only nine so-called terrorists have been brought to trial and none have been convicted. Why do individuals have to be held for four years without trial if there is proof that they can be convicted with? Army interrogators have gone public with their frustrations that these people are obviously not terrorists but they are still ordered to keep them. Images of mass ranks of terrorists are pure lies on the part of the insane Neo-Cons.
People who refuse to torture and blow the whistle on it, like General Janis Karpinsky and Rick Baccus are ejected and replaced with cadres of torture teams willing to do the dirty work. Roberts that these torture teams would be turned loose on US citizens before long.
Roberts said that America is the most hated nation on earth by design and that the military is completely out of control. The barbarism in Iraq practiced by the US occupational government will live in infamy when it is historically judged by hindsight.
Paul Craig Roberts is part of a crescendo of credible voices stepping forward to blow the whistle on the megalomaniacs in the White House as the insanity of the US government reaches unprecedented levels.

The race for oil has just begun
November 16, 2005
India and China seem to be in a race to acquire foreign oil and gas reserves through their state-owned oil companies. This was dramatically exhibited in their competition to acquire a Kazakh oil company.
Though the Indian petroleum minister castigated the bidding procedure in which India's state-owned oil company lost to one from China, could this have been a blessing in disguise? This is the central question I want to explore in this column.
The first point to be made is that if a private Indian oil company was competing with one from China, there would be no need to discuss their respective commercial judgments. But instead, both India and China seem to be keen to use their burgeoning foreign exchange reserves to promote the acquisition of foreign oil assets by their state-owned oil companies in the name of energy security.
Kazakh oil deal unfair, says Aiyar
Linking this to national security, as oil and natural gas remain the essential fuel for their burgeoning economies, suggests that merely economic considerations are unimportant in these strategic national decisions.
Acquiring these foreign energy assets and the means of their transportation (through pipelines) will provide assured and stable supplies of energy in the future. But is this valid?
In the 19th century liberal international economic order, one could reasonably expect that, if a state or its citizens owned foreign assets, then through the web of treaties the British had negotiated during their imperium, backed by the threat of "gunboats and Gurkhas", these international property rights would be fairly secure.
But that world has long gone. Starting with the Mexican and Russian revolutions and Attaturks' nationalist revolution in Turkey, most countries have abrogated international property rights to sub-serve the national weal.
Nowhere is this more apparent than for foreign-owned oil and gas fields. Beginning with Mossadeq's nationalisation of Western oil companies in Iran, most of the oil-producing countries nationalised foreign oil companies, while the US opposition to the Anglo-French Suez expedition to protect their international property rights finally put an end to any military means of protecting international property.
Why are India, China scrapping in Kazakhstan?
This implies that it is an illusion to believe that, if you own a foreign oil field, it belongs to you in the same way as one within your own territory. If, as is all too likely, a future Kazakh government was to nationalise the company owning oil in their territory in which foreign state-owned companies have a share, would the Indians and Chinese be willing to send in their troops to assert their property rights?
This could involve not merely putting the "Gurkhas" on the oil field, but in essentially taking over the country. If even the sole remaining superpower is incapable of doing this, it is absurd to believe that the aspiring superpowers of India and China would be able to do so. In fact, acquiring these foreign oil fields with national public resources would be giving an immense hostage to fortune.
But, it may be argued, even given this uncertainty about property rights, would the acquisition of foreign oil reserves not enable the domestic price of oil to be stabilised, and be kept lower than the projected rising world price for oil?
This mistakes what is the true opportunity cost of oil used in the Indian economy. Even if one owns a foreign oil field, the opportunity cost of using its oil is still given by the world price. For, if not used domestically, the oil could be sold elsewhere for the world price.
Perhaps, there is another advantage in our state-owned oil companies owning foreign oil fields, through the implicit profit (given by the difference between the rising oil price and the costs of production) accruing to the Indian state company rather than a foreign company?
But this implies it is a commercial venture and not a strategic one, in which it may be worthwhile investing public funds if the foreign investment offers a higher rate of return than other alternatives.
If this investment decision was being made by a private company, one would have more confidence in its judgment than the proposed acquisition by a state company, for well- known reasons concerning incentives and soft budget constraints of public enterprises. If these foreign investments are to be made on a commercial basis by an Indian oil company, it would be best to privatise the state-owned companies and let them then decide whether such investments are in their commercial interest.
The same argument applies to the proposed pipelines from Iran and Myannmar. Public investment in these international infrastructure projects would be justified if they yielded a higher social rate of return than alternative uses of public funds, like investing in domestic infrastructure.
Given the well-known limitations of the latter, such foreign investment is also of dubious economic value. Of course, it may be a viable private investment project and the Indian government could justifiably use its diplomatic clout to help it fructify.
The final reason often given for this race to acquire foreign energy resources is to ensure security of supplies of a vital resource input. But this fails to recognise that since the second oil shock of the late 1970s, oil has become just another commodity, being traded on NYMEX just like gold or iron ore (see D Yergin, The Prize, for an excellent history of the oil industry).
Buying futures in this "deep" market will ensure security of supply. With the diversification of world sources of supply, most recently from the Caspian Sea, and prospectively from the Canadian oil shales, there is no longer the geographic concentration of future supplies in the Middle East, which gave strategic planners such headaches. This commodification of oil has also reduced the power of OPEC, and the likelihood of a future oil cartel holding consumers to ransom.
Nor does India have to worry about being alone in keeping the worldwide channels of transport for this vital resource open. For, its new "strategic partner"-- the US -- has an even greater interest, and above all the military means to ensure that these channels are not blocked for political reasons.
There is no economic or strategic reason, therefore, for India to be in this race to acquire foreign energy resources by using its foreign exchange reserves, representing its people's savings, merely to allow megalomaniac politicians and bureaucrats to imitate the Sheikhs of the Arab world.

Tuesday November 15, 2:40 pm ET

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2005--Powder River Basin Gas Corp. (OTCBB:PRVB - News) a revenue generating producer and acquirer of crude oil and natural gas, announced the results of the third quarter earnings for 2005.
During the three month period, Powder River Basin Gas Corp. reported an increase in oil and gas sales compared to the same three month period in 2004. This marks an increase of approximately $65,000 or 98%. During the nine month period of January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005, compared to 2004 earnings, the Company reported an increase in oil and gas sales of approximately $365,000 or 235%.
Total revenues for the nine months were $3,100,498 with a net income before taxes of $974,934.
Powder River Basin Gas Corp. also reported expenses of $467,782 and $656,750 for the nine months as a result of certain common stock warrants granted and common shares issued during the period for payroll, marketing, managerial and legal services rendered. All issued shares are subject to restriction. This represents non-cash expenses of $1,124,532 in addition to the tax reserve fund of $530,400 for a total of $1,654,932.
Due to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Louisiana and Texas wells were out of service from August 28th through to September 30th.

Hmmm.....President Gerald Ford fires him(Colby) and appoints George Bush as CIA Director in 1976.
Hmmmm..... Wasn't Gerald Ford part of the Warren Commision "whitewash" of the JFK Assassination?
Hmmmm......I wonder what made George Bush so qualified to be the director of the CIA??? I really wonder......do you???
Watch that JFK film I posted and you will KNOW WHY!!!!!!

I was really shocked by what former CIA Director William Colby told the Kennedy Assassination US Senate Investigation Committee in 1974 before he was fired and replaced by George Bush.
I'd like to someday get a little more into former CIA director William Colby, and more recent "heinous and diabolical events".....like the Oklahoma City Bombing that killed so many innocent people. Colby was murdered soon after that.....anyone care to guess why?????

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FASCISM......
http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm
In "Fascism Anyone?," Laurence Britt identifies 14 characteristics common to fascist regimes. His comparisons of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet yielded this list of 14 "identifying characteristics of fascism."
Download the informative trifold pamphlet of these 14 points in .pdf format here (right click, save target as)
1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
and let's not forget the failed "Bring 'em on!"
Headstones of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are inscribed with the Pentagons war-marketing slogans
September 11 = Party time with country superstar Clint Black! Bring your coolers and sparklers! All lovingly sponsored by the Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, and Subway restaurant
American Nation Brainwashed: I spoke to some 2,000 students during their annual lecture at a Baptist college in Pennsylvania. After a short prayer service for peace centered on the Beatitudes, I took the stage and got right to the point. “Now let me get this straight,” I said. “Jesus says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ which means he does not say, ‘Blessed are the warmakers,’ - With that, the place exploded, and 500 students stormed out. The rest of them then started chanting, “Bush! Bush! Bush!” Some may remember Duce! Duce! Duce! -ed.
2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
The Frontline program "The Torture Question" Watch it online
Republicans kill defense spending bill because McCain Amendment prohibits "cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment"
Bush threatens to veto $442b defense bill if Congress investigates detainee abuses.
"For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously.": Bush calls Amnesty International's "gulag" report absurd (three times in two sentences)
Guantanamo Judge: “I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law’ again. We are not concerned with international law.”

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4.) Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.) Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
It's legal again, to fire gov't workers for being gay

6.) Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9.) Corporate Power is Protected

10.) Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

Congress and the Department of Labor are trying to change the rules on overtime pay, eliminating the 40 hour work week, taking eligibility for overtime pay away from millions of workers, and replacing time and a half pay with comp days.
11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment

Police officers don't have to give a reason at the time they arrest someone, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a ruling that shields officers from false-arrest lawsuits.
More...
13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

This picture is what stopped the ballot recounts in Florida shortly after it seemed that legitimate President Gore had a lead. The "citizens" started what was later called "the preppy riot". Screaming, yelling, pounding on the walls, these "outraged citizens" intimidated the polling officials to halt the court mandated recount. A closer look reveals who they really were. They were bussed and flown in at Republican lawmakers expense. Some even flew in on Tom Delay's private plane.

The Nicholas Berg Execution
A working hypothesis and a resolution for the orange jumpsuit mystery
by Nick Possum, 23 May 2004
http://www.serendipity.li/iraqwar/npossum_on_berg.htm
This article aims to shed light on the apparent execution by beheading of Nicholas Berg . I believe that most of the available evidence surrounding the case suggests that it was a "black operation"by US psychological warfare specialists, the purpose of which was to provide the media with a "moral relativity" argument to counter the adverse publicity over torture at Abu Ghraib prison.
Many observers have drawn attention to features of the evidence — particularly the video of the beheading released by the supposed terrorists — which do not add up. I find some of these features to be explainable without reference to a conspiracy by US security agencies. Most, however, are best explained by the black operations scenario. Even so, many puzzling anomalies remain.
At a certain point in any investigation, in order to make sense of disparate, contradictory facts and to filter out background noise, an investigator must adopt a working hypothesis which integrates the main clues.
My hypothesis begins by trying to explain why, throughout the execution video, Nick Berg is wearing an orange jumpsuit of the type issued at US military prisons such as Guantanamo Bay.
Most commentators have been surprised by this. Some have rationalised it as a piece of mimicry by the executioners designed to taunt the US and drive home their point that the US imprisons and humiliates Arabs and Muslims.
That might seem like the only reasonable explanation, but nagging doubts remain.
How would the terrorists have got their hands on such a jumpsuit? Is it reasonable to think that they carried one around just in case they got lucky and grabbed an American?
Alternatively, does it seem likely that, having grabbed Berg, one of them had a bright idea and sent his mum to the markets for some fabric and got her to run up an orange jumpsuit?
Under the circumstances, both explanations are highly improbable. Remember, these people are supposedly members of an Abu Massab al-Zarwawi's terrorist cell. They're operating underground to carry out suicide bombings and the like. In order to do that they'd themselves be dressed like ordinary Iraqis. Dressing Berg in a facsimile of the US prison uniform or even a real one for his execution seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to — time-wasting nonsense that could unnecessarily expose them to the danger of discovery. Why would they not keep Berg in the clothes in which he was kidnapped or, if they had had to dump these, in anonymous Iraqi street wear?
(That's another problem with the "terrorists" in the video: why are they dressed in black uniforms with ammunition tabards and keffirs? Al-Sadr's MA militia do dress like that, but al-Zarwawi's boys aren't militia, they're underground operatives.)
But if it seems very far-fetched that al-Zarwawi's group would have filmed Berg in an orange jumpsuit, why in heaven's name would the CIA psyops boys have done so? Surely in setting up a piece of fakery they would ideally have stuck to the simple and obvious and kept Berg in his own clothes?
As I said above: to make sense of disparate, contradictory facts and filter out background noise a working hypothesis which makes sense of the main clues is necessary. What follows is mine.
I have made use of "Videoman's" excellent frame-by-frame analysis of the execution video available at the LibertyForum site.
Videoman identifies 8 separate shots (A to H) and assumes two cameras were used (I call them Camera 1 and Camera 2).
The hypothesis
By the time the CIA psyops boys, dressed as terrorists, cut off Berg's head he was already long dead. As noted by various qualified observers there was no spray of blood. I further doubt whether even the hardest of the CIA hard boys would come at hacking off someone's head while they were alive.
They had no alternative but to do the deed with Berg dressed in the orange jumpsuit because, to dramatise the horror of the supposed event, they had to have footage that unequivocally showed him to be alive before his throat was cut. In the only such material available to them, Berg was dressed in the jumpsuit.
I believe that footage showing Berg in the white plastic chair, unrestrained and calmly giving his name and family details, was shot as routine investigative documentation by CIA and/or FBI interrogators while Berg was imprisoned — either at a US run facility or perhaps by the Iraqis, depending on whose story you believe — after he was picked up by Iraqi police in Mosul.
The footage looks so routine because it was routine. Berg was arrested, his clothes were taken away, he was given the jumpsuit and then questioned. Quite probably he was asked a series of questions during the three "interviews" we know took place, and his responses were videotaped in much the same way as police interrogations are audio and/or videotaped in most countries.
After being interviewed three times in 13 days, Berg was then warned to leave Iraq, released and (according to some reports) booked on a flight out of Baghdad. The CIA knew exactly where he was and what his movements would be.
It does not take a great deal of imagination to see what may have happened next. The word goes out that the President needs a high-profile terrorist atrocity to counteract the gathering media firestorm over Abu Ghraib. The psyops boys are working against a deadline. Assessing their prospects, they decide that Berg is a highly suspicious character. There's a weird story on the files about his email account being used by Moussaoui, his parents are high-profile opponents of the war, he's been running around Iraq unsupervised and visiting Iraqi in-laws in Mosul. Even if the man isn't actually al-Queda, he's an expendable idiot.
They pick up Berg as he leaves his hotel and kill him (perhaps accidentally). Then they set about constructing the beheading video. It is also possible that Berg met his death at the hands of the resistance, but that his intact body was quickly recovered by US forces.
Now, let's go back to my basic point: To show Berg alive, the psyops team only had some routine interrogation footage to work with. There was no alternative but to use that footage so, with some ingenuity, they set about crafting a fake execution video.
The final product distributed on the internet opens with two shots each from a different angle. The video clock shows they were apparently shot about 11 hours apart, one at 1.26 pm and one at 2.18 am.
The first shot (Camera 1) lasts for only three seconds and in it, Berg is sitting in the white plastic chair and is seen from left front. All he manages to say is "My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael ...", before the cut to the second camera, positioned directly in front of him and apparently recording 11 hours later (or at 2.18 am some days later or, perhaps, earlier) takes over. Berg continues: "... my mother's name is Suzanne ." Berg is not restrained and appears calm and relaxed.
Why was this rapid-fire editing required and why the apparent time-lapse? If the terrorists shot the video, why didn't they just tell Berg to state his details again?
I would contend that this opening two-shot sequence is cut together from fragments from two videos of different interrogation sessions, conducted by the FBI and/or CIA, almost certainly from near the beginning of those videos, and probably recorded with the same camera.
Here's how I believe it might have happened:
The interrogation team set up their camera on a tripod, with the clock accurately calibrated, and began recording at around 1.26 pm. Standing out of shot so as not to be identifiable, they introduced the video. Try to imagine the scene. Things might have developed something like this (dialogue actually heard in the video in italics):
Interrogator: Interview with a suspect handed over to us by Iraqi police on [date, time]. State your name please.
Berg: My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael ...
Interrogator: Where do you come from, Mr Berg?
From this point the interrogation continued with questions in English from an unseen interrogator with an American accent. The questions and answers concerned Berg's activities as a contractor, his Iraqi contacts, his relatives in Mosul, why he had grown an Islamist-style beard or any number of other things.
In other words, all but the first three seconds of Nick's reply clearly and obviously depicted a routine police-type interview and were useless for the purpose of showing him alive but apparently in the custody of terrorists.
There was a second interrogation (probably, but not necessarily, subsequent to that depicted in Shot A), this time at 2.40 am. Again, as a matter of routine, the interrogators would have introduced the video. It might have gone something like this (dialogue actually heard in the video in italics):
Interrogator: Interview with a suspect passed to us by Iraqi police on [date, time]. State your name please.
Berg: I told you that before. Why are you keeping me here. I'm a US citizen.
Interrogator: Don't make it hard on yourself, just answer the question.
[Berg remains silent for a while then simultaneously both men speak ...]
Interrogator: Are you going to ...
Berg [giving in]: My father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Suzanne ... etc.
The interrogator's voice overlapped with the first part of Berg's reply so only the footage with the words "my mother's name" etc, were usable. The rest of the tape was unusable for the same reason the rest of the first tape was unusable.
I can also imagine several other reasons why the first part of Berg's reply in this shot could not be used. One would be that somebody who was identifiable as an American accidentally walked into the shot.
So the psyops team had only these two fragments to play with. The first fragment was too short, but if it were spliced together with the second there would be 13 usable seconds.
Trouble was, they'd been shot at different times (as shown on the tape). Here the different camera angles came to their rescue. What if there were two cameras recording the scene, one with the clock carelessly set to the wrong time? Only problem was, two cameras would have to be used (or appear to be used) for the rest of the execution performance and the time difference between them maintained. Problem fixed.
All the subsequent shots were set up after Berg was dead and almost certainly in the same room where he was interrogated during his period of incarceration (Abu Ghraib?).
His body was dressed an identical jumpsuit to that shown in the interrogation recordings, and propped up in position. Shot C (From the terrorist's speech to Berg being pushed over for the kill) was then recorded. This footage was subsequently modified frame by frame to make Berg's body move very occasionally, as if alive (I differ from Videoman's analysis on this point, since I don't think Berg was alive in this shot). Using commonly available software such a modification is relatively simple and adequately convincing, if effectively disguised by the process which turns a high resolution video into a grungy low-resolution version for the internet.
Of the identified five shots that follow, four are from Camera 1 and only one 4-second shot from Camera 2. It would be a simple process to shoot the whole video with a single camera and change the clock setting for two shots (C and G) to give the appearance that the terrorists used two cameras, thereby disguising the time-difference problem the fakers had started out with.
My hypothesis has the following advantages:
1. It explains the jumpsuit.
2. It explains the time discrepancy.
3. It explains why Berg is unrestrained and appears relaxed in the first two shots.
4. It is not inconsistent with the known facts of Berg's movements in Iraq.
5. It suggests some profitable lines of inquiry.
A possible objection
Why not record the pseudo-terrorist's speech while Berg was still alive, then kill him, then record separate shots of his head being cut off?
To get the full force of the horror of an (apparently) living human being waiting, unknowingly, to having his throat cut, it was necessary to do this in a single shot, at least up to the point of the first knife cut. The alternatives were to do it while he was actually alive or to shoot it after he was dead and rely on simple image manipulation to give the appearance he was alive. For various reasons (not least of which perhaps being that the participants were understandably squeamish about cutting somebody's throat), they decided the second was the better alternative.
An alternative (but unlikely) jumpsuit scenario
The only remotely plausible alternative scenario I can think of is that, upon release from his 13-day incarceration by US forces (or the Iraqi police, if you prefer to believe that story or to make a distinction), Berg was allowed to keep his jumpsuit as a souvenir ("Hey, you wanna keep the jumpsuit, buddy? Might get you a laugh at the barbecue when you get home"). Berg had the jumpsuit on him when captured by the terrorists and putting him in it to kill him appealed to them.
This scenario not only seems far-fetched, it also leaves us to explain why the terrorists would have gone to the trouble of using two cameras and of doing complex editing to create the sequence composed of shots A and B, when they could simply have asked him to say who he was again.
Suggested lines of inquiry
What are the standard interrogation procedures used in these circumstances by the FBI and/or the CIA? Do they include videotaping the interrogation. Personally I'd be astounded if they didn't, after all, the careful reexamination of an interview for nuances of speech, body language, etc, is a powerful investigative tool. In this respect, has any of the photographic and video material viewed in closed session by US lawmakers depicted an interrogation session?
Were tapes made at the three known interviews of Nick Berg by the FBI? Who did the interviews? Where are they?
Were the orange jumpsuits issued in Iraq? To the Iraqi police, or only at US run facilities like Abu Ghraib? (There is, now, one photo in the public domain showing an Iraqi prisoner at Abu Ghraib in an orange jumpsuit, although it is of a different style to the suit Berg is wearing.)
If video cameras were issued to interrogators, what brand/s were issued, and are their on-screen clocks consistent with those seen in the execution video?
Whereabouts in Iraq was Nick Berg imprisoned by US and/or Iraqi police?
US readers might profitably pursue some of these questions with their congressman or senator.

echos......Excellent post. Now I URGE you to watch the entire 90 minute documentary I posted about the JFK assassination.
It's a bruttally hard hitting expose of facts. I'm sure if you watch it you'll be VERY amazed and at the same time VERY,VERY
ANGRY at what they did to a good ,honest,heroic American President....who was cleaning up the crap in our government at the time before they "whacked" him. The vulgar audacity of that bunch is truly sickening....I won't even go into 9/11 right now.
Watch the documentary, then have all your friends watch it, before it's too late to save our country.
These "devils" are still at it as your post on secret CIA torture points out.
It could be you, me or any other good decent American that ends up in a secret camp or prison somewhere being tortured someday.

GOP memo touts new terror attack as way to reverse party's decline
http://www.infowars.com/articles/terror/gop_memo_touts_terror_attack_as_party_decline_reverse.htm
Capitol Hill Blue | November 10, 2005
By DOUG THOMPSON
A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."
The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink, including a devastating attack by terrorists that could “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow.”
The memo says such a reversal in the President's fortunes could keep the party from losing control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections.
GOP insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy and point out that such scenarios are “blue sky thinking” that often occurs in political planning sessions.
“The President’s popularity was at an all-time high following the 9/11 attacks,” admits one aide. “Americans band together at a time of crisis.”
Other Republicans, however, worry that such a scenario carries high risk, pointing out that an attack might suggest the President has not done enough to protect the country.
“We also have to face the fact that many Americans no longer trust the President,” says a longtime GOP strategist. “That makes it harder for him to become a rallying point.”
The memo outlines other scenarios, including:
--Capture of Osama bin Laden (or proof that he is dead);
--A drastic turnaround in the economy;
--A "successful resolution" of the Iraq war.
GOP memos no longer talk of “victory” in Iraq but use the term “successful resolution.”
“A successful resolution would be us getting out intact and civil war not breaking out until after the midterm elections,” says one insider.
The memo circulates as Tuesday’s disastrous election defeats have left an already dysfunctional White House in chaos, West Wing insiders say, with shouting matches commonplace and the blame game escalating into open warfare.
“This place is like a high-school football locker room after the team lost the big game,” grumbles one Bush administration aide. “Everybody’s pissed and pointing the finger at blame at everybody else.”
Republican gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey deepened rifts between the Bush administration and Republicans who find the President radioactive. Arguments over whether or not the President should make a last-minute appearance in Virginia to try and help the sagging campaign fortunes of GOP candidate Jerry Kilgore raged until the minute Bush arrived at the rally in Richmond Monday night.
“Cooler heads tried to prevail,” one aide says. “Most knew an appearance by the President would hurt Kilgore rather than help him but (Karl) Rove rammed it through, convincing Bush that he had enough popularity left to make a difference.”
Bush didn’t have any popularity left. Overnight tracking polls showed Kilgore dropped three percentage points after the President’s appearance and Democrat Tim Kaine won on Tuesday.
Conservative Pennsylvania Republican Senator Rick Santorum told radio talk show host Don Imus Wednesday that he does not want the President's help and will stay away from a Bush rally in his state on Friday.
The losses in Virginia and New Jersey, coupled with a resounding defeat of ballot initiatives backed by GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in California have set off alarm klaxons throughout the demoralized Republican party. Pollsters privately tell GOP leaders that unless they stop the slide they could easily lose control of the House in the 2006 midterm elections and may lose the Senate as well.
“In 30 years of sampling public opinion, I’ve never seen such a freefall in public support,” admits one GOP pollster.
Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin says the usual tricks tried by Republicans no longer work.
"None of their old tricks worked," he says.
Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) admits the GOP is a party mired in its rural base in a country that's becoming less and less rural.
"You play to your rural base, you pay a price," he says. "Our issues blew up in our face."
As Republican political strategists scramble to find a message – any message – that will ring true with voters, GOP leaders in Congress admit privately that control of their party by right-wing extremists makes their recovery all but impossible.
“We’ve made our bed with these people,” admits an aide to House Speaker Denny Hastert. “Now it’s the morning after and the hangover hurts like hell.”

Prominent Physics Professor Refutes “Official” 9/11 Story
Planes causing collapse bad science, Thermite charges suspect
Infowars | November 11, 2005
http://www.infowars.com/articles/sept11/prof_jones_refutes_official_911_story.htm
Steven E. Jones, Professor of Physics at Brigham Young University reported to the Deseret Morning News and later revealed on the Alex Jones Radio Show that through imperical research he has come to discover that the World Trade Center towers could not have possibly collapsed due to the impact of the jets that hit the buildings on September 11th. While this news may not seem particularly shocking to many in the 9-11 Truth Movement, Jones’ testimony is representative of the growing list of many prominent Americans that have gone public in recent time exposing the systematic cover-up of 9-11.
According to Professor Jones, all of the laws of science and mathematics point directly to the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center and not to fire bringing down the three towers.
Through his intensive and methodical research, Jones has come to realize that the speed and symmetry of the collapse of the WTC buildings prove that the so-called official story must be false. He points to venting or squibs (smoke puffs) present around the collapsing structures as being direct indicators of the use of pre-positioned explosives. He also noted that the way that NASA infrared satellites and aircraft were able to take photos of the burning wreckage and molten steel for weeks was indicative of a massive use of thermite in the structure.
For Jones, the real problem with the official line on 9/11 is that it relies on wrong-headed science that starts with a conclusion and seeks out evidence that supports that theory to the exclusion of all others in order to cover up what really happened on September 11th. FEMA, the 9/11 Commission, and even the National Institute of Standards and Technology had all started with the supposition that what caused the WTC collapses was the impact of the jets and their exploding fuel and ignored any and all evidence to the contrary even though their findings were “highly unlikely.”
The Deseret Morning News article reports Jones’ major points of concern:
These observations were not analyzed by FEMA, NIST nor the 9/11 Commission, he says.
• With non-explosive-caused collapse there would typically be a piling up of shattering concrete. But most of the material in the towers was converted to flour-like powder while the buildings were falling, he says. "How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives? Remarkable, amazing — and demanding scrutiny since the U.S. government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon."
• Steel supports were "partly evaporated," but it would require temperatures near 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit to evaporate steel — and neither office materials nor diesel fuel can generate temperatures that hot. Fires caused by jet fuel from the hijacked planes lasted at most a few minutes, and office material fires would burn out within about 20 minutes in any given location, he says.
• Molten metal found in the debris of the World Trade Center may have been the result of a high-temperature reaction of a commonly used explosive such as thermite, he says. Buildings not felled by explosives "have insufficient directed energy to result in melting of large quantities of metal," Jones says.
• Multiple loud explosions in rapid sequence were reported by numerous observers in and near the towers, and these explosions occurred far below the region where the planes struck, he says.
No third party was ever called on to examine ground zero and Jones lamented the government’s decision to so quickly ban any investigation of the crime scene and to haul all of the wreckage away to China before it could be examined by any third party investigators. Many like Jones are now coming forward with skepticism this such as fire engineering which went public that the WTC was a crime scene and shouldn’t have been hauled away and that fire could not possibly make towers collapse.
He also described the findings of Underwriter’s Lab and Kevin Ryan who used complex models in the testing of the collapse and revealed that it was impossible for the jet-fuel and fire alone to cause any of the three buildings to collapse
Now Jones, who is head of research in fusion and solar energy at BYU, is calling for an independent, scientific investigation that would focus on the physics of the WTC collapse and not be guided by political constraints and efforts to limit the findings to the “official story” that the buildings collapsed because a hijacked plane was crashed into them.

Flt 93 And Flt 175
Landed At Or Near
Cleveland On 911 --
Says Former Cleveland Mayor
Cincinnati WCPO TV Cover-Ups
Why Account Removed From Web Site
By Greg Szymanski
11-11-5
State sponsored U.S. media ignores story, leaving 'internet hounds' to smell out the truth behind what really happened to the passengers on the doomed flights.
On the morning of 9/11 a little known Cincinnati television station ran a story saying Flight 93 landed at Cleveland International Airport instead of crashing in Pennsylvania as claimed in the official government story.
Reporters at WCPO Channel 9 quoted then Cleveland Mayor Michael R. White as saying "a Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing due to a bomb threat," the airplane landing safely, moved to a secure location and evacuated.
The early morning report went on to say United Airlines verified the plane as Flight 93, but was also deeply concerned about another jetliner in the vicinity, Flight 175, flying from Boston to Los Angeles.
Also included in the little known news report was a comment from United CEO, James Goodwin, who said, "The thoughts of everyone at United are with the passengers and crew of these flights. Our prayers are also with everyone on the ground who may have been involved. United Airlines is working with all the relevant authorities, including the FBI, to obtain further information on these flights."
Former Mayor White, as well as United and WCPO, could not be reached for comment, but the evidence still remains, even though it was suspiciously removed from the television's web site in June 2004 in and around the time of the 9/11 Commission hearings.
With the evidence trail getting colder and colder, the obvious still must be asked: if Flight 175 was slamming into the South Tower and Flight 93 was downed over Pennsylvania like the government contends, why was Mayor White saying both planes were in or in the vicinity of Cleveland?
The answer to this question remains a mystery four years later since the 9/11 Commission or the FBI never thoroughly investigated the news report or former Mayor White's statement.
And if there still happens to be any 9/11 family members still wondering what really happened to their loved ones aboard the doomed 9/11 flights, it isn't much consolation that the only really serious investigation to date has come from a couple of cyber space sleuths with no real criminal investigation background and only a hyperactive curiosity as their credentials.
But to the credit of these novice sleuths, who never even listed their names in order to take credit for their work, the following information about the original WCPO story and its removal from the internet is all we have to go on:
"Though the story from Cincinnati TV station WCPO is not recent news (it was posted within hours of the 9/11 attacks)," said the sleuths, "I had never heard of it until a fellow researcher recently contacted me. Click on the first link "(see links below) and you will see what is currently posted on the website, 'This story has been removed from WCPO.com. It was a preliminary AP story, and was factually incorrect.'
"However, using the powerful resource of the Internet Archive , which archives all major websites on the internet on a regular basis, you can see how this webpage appeared over past months and years. Using this excellent resource, you will discover that the original posting (provided below) can be viewed at the second link below.
"Note that the original posting says nothing about being an AP article. Note also that the article continued to be posted for all dates through June 2004, and disappeared only after that. Remember that Flight 93 reportedly crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11, with all aboard killed. How can this be? See these web sites for verification:

specials/2001/americaattack ed/news_local/story14.html
Besides WCPO's obvious cover-up, another little known account concerning the passengers aboard the flights concerns the strange - almost unbelievable -- reaction of former Rep. Phil Crane (R-Ill) in response to the information compiled on another internet sleuth's 9/11web site.
The incident involves a phone call by Rep. Crane to Phil Jayhan, a serious 9/11 fact gatherer, who appears to be on to something and headed in the right direction in solving parts of the 9/11 mystery if this strange -- out of the blue call -- from a Congressman is any indication.
In an extended phone conversation this week concerning the call, Jayhan asked why would a big shot Congressman call him unless it was to designed to gather information, interrogate him or find out what he really knew, as well as indicating he might be hot on the trail of something important
Jayhan, who puts together www.letsroll911.org , also wrote this on his web site about the mysterious call from former Rep. Crane, the former head of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee:
"Well, we all now know there was a series of War Games going on the week of 911, as well as 911 itself. I probably wouldn't have even thought of this if it were not for Congressman Phil Crane's phone call to me.
"Why take any chances on 911? They had time on their side, and thus a near perfect plan, or a perfect plan that didn't work as advertised. Crane seemed most interested in 'the people' & 'the pathology' more than anything else. Why would he be asking me about this, if indeed flight 93 was the meat wagon? All of the remains would have been sent to path and identified, and no one would be the wiser, right?
"But as I have said, if I could pin down a reason why Phil Crane would have pulled the stunt he did with me, it would have to be the subject of where are the people...? Because he didn't have a problem with the missile and the pod or that the flight was switched, so he was well acquainted with my web site when he called. But he, they(?) were stumped as to the missing people, and where they went. So, let's think in Phil Crane's shoes for a moment. He finally is forced to see the site (let's roll) by one of his aids who finally had done the research and seen that what my site says is true.
"So Phil Crane and perhaps a few in his staff, or perhaps a few other Congressman and Senators are sitting around, and they see the problem pod, the problem missile and realize this plane was switched.
"I am assuming here that they know something we don't in this area, i.e. namely that there were No bodies or true DNA tests done. They were a PR sham to help sweep 911 under the rug sooner and more efficiently, best not to have grieving loved ones family members crying foul because DNA testing was taking too long to put their hearts to rest, so they faked the DNA test results."

Len....see post listen to the physics proffessor.
"The physics of 9/11 — including how fast and symmetrically one of the World Trade Center buildings fell — prove that official explanations of the collapses are wrong, says a Brigham Young University physics professor.
In fact, it's likely that there were "pre-positioned explosives" in all three buildings at ground zero, says Steven E. Jones."

The Police State Is Closer Than You Think
http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/police_state_closer_than_you_think.htm
Lew Rockwell | October 9, 2005
by Paul Craig Roberts
Police states are easier to acquire than Americans appreciate.
The hysterical aftermath of September 11 has put into place the main components of a police state.
Habeas corpus is the greatest protection Americans have against a police state. Habeas corpus ensures that Americans can only be detained by law. They must be charged with offenses, given access to attorneys, and brought to trial. Habeas corpus prevents the despotic practice of picking up a person and holding him indefinitely.
President Bush claims the power to set aside habeas corpus and to dispense with warrants for arrest and with procedures that guarantee court appearance and trial without undue delay. Today in the US, the executive branch claims the power to arrest a citizen on its own initiative and hold the citizen indefinitely. Thus, Americans are no longer protected from arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention.
These new "seize and hold" powers strip the accused of the protective aspects of law and give rein to selectivity and arbitrariness. No warrant is required for arrest, no charges have to be presented before a judge, and no case has to be put before a jury. As the police are unaccountable, whoever is selected for arrest is at the mercy of arbitrariness.
The judiciary has to some extent defended habeas corpus against Bush’s attack, but the protection that the principle offers against arbitrary seizure and detention has been breached. Whether courts can fully restore habeas corpus or whether it continues in weakened form or passes by the wayside remains to be determined.
Americans may be unaware of what it means to be stripped of the protection of habeas corpus, or they may think police authorities would never make a mistake or ever use their unbridled power against the innocent. Americans might think that the police state will only use its powers against terrorists or "enemy combatants."
But "terrorist" is an elastic and legally undefined category. When the President of the United States declares: "You are with us or against us," the police may perceive a terrorist in a dissenter from the government’s policies. Political opponents may be regarded as "against us" and thereby fall in the suspect category. Or a police officer may simply have his eye on another man’s attractive wife or wish to settle some old score. An enemy combatant might simply be an American who happens to be in a foreign country when the US invades. In times before our own when people were properly educated, they understood the injustices that caused the English Parliament to pass the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 prohibiting the arbitrary powers that are now being claimed for the executive branch in the US.
The PATRIOT Act has given the police autonomous surveillance powers. These powers were not achieved without opposition. Civil libertarians opposed it. Bob Barr, the former US Representative who led the impeachment of President Clinton, fought to limit some of the worst features of the act. But the act still bristles with unconstitutional violations of the rights of citizens, and the newly created powers of government to spy on citizens has brought an end to privacy.
The prohibition against self-incrimination protects the accused from being tortured into confession. The innocent are no more immune to pain than the guilty. As Stalin’s show trials demonstrated, even the most committed leaders of the Bolshevik revolution could be tortured into confessing to be counterrevolutionaries.
The prohibition against torture has been breached by the practice of plea bargaining, which replaces jury trials with negotiated self-incrimination, and by sentencing guidelines, which transfer sentencing discretion from judge to prosecutor. Plea bargaining is a form of psychological torture in which innocent and guilty alike give up their right to jury trial in order to reduce the number and severity of the charges that the prosecutor brings.
The prohibition against physical torture, however, held until the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. As video, photographic, and testimonial evidence make clear, the US military has been torturing large numbers of people in its Iraq prisons and in its prison compound at Guantanamo, Cuba. Most of the detainees were people picked up in the equivalent of KGB Stalin-era street sweeps. Having no idea who the detainees are and pressured to produce results, torture was applied to coerce confessions.
Everyone is disturbed about this barbaric and illegal practice except the Bush administration. In an amendment to a $440 billion defense budget bill last Wednesday, the US Senate voted 90 to 9 to ban "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" of anyone in US government custody. President Bush responded to the Senate’s will by repeating his earlier threat to veto the bill. Allow me to torture, demands Bush of the Senate, or you will be guilty of delaying the military’s budget during wartime. Bush is threatening the Senate with blame for the deaths of US soldiers who will die because they don’t get their body armor or humvee armor in time.
It will be a short step from torturing detainees abroad to torturing the accused in US jails and prisons.
The attorney-client privilege, another great achievement, has been breached by the Lynne Stewart case. As the attorney for a terrorist, Stewart represented her client in ways disapproved by prosecutors. Stewart was indicted, tried, and convicted of providing material support to terrorists.
Stewart’s indictment sends a message to attorneys not to represent too dutifully or aggressively clients who are unpopular or demonized. Initially, this category may be limited to terrorists. However, once the attorney-client privilege is breached, any attorney who gets too much in the way of a prosecutor’s case may experience retribution. The intimidation factor can result in an attorney presenting a weak defense. It can even result in attorneys doing as the Benthamite US Department of Justice (sic) desires and helping to convict their client.
In the Anglo-American legal tradition, law is a shield of the accused. This is necessary in order to protect the innocent. The accused is innocent until he is proven guilty in an open court. There are no secret tribunals, no torture, and no show trials.
Outside the Anglo-American legal tradition, law is a weapon of the state. It may be used with careful restraint, as in Europe today, or it may be used to destroy opponents or rivals as in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
When the protective features of the law are removed, law becomes a weapon. Habeas corpus, due process, the attorney-client privilege, no crime without intent, and prohibitions against torture and ex post facto laws are the protective features that shield the accused. These protective features are being removed by zealotry in the "war against terrorism."
The damage terrorists can inflict pales in comparison to the loss of the civil liberties that protect us from the arbitrary power of law used as a weapon. The loss of law as Blackstone’s shield of the innocent would be catastrophic. It would mean the end of America as a land of liberty.
