| 01.Mar.2006 https://www.dgfett.de/history/normann/geschichte.htm Die meisten pflanzlichen Fette, mit Ausnahme von Cocos-, Palmkern-, Babassu-, Shea-Fett und Kakaobutter ... sind flüssig. Tierische Fette fallen ebenfalls zu einem bedeutenden Teil, wie z.B. das Wal- und Fisch-Öl, flüssig an. In den Industriestaaten der nördlichen Halbkugel ist man jedoch in erster Linie an plastischen Fetten als Brotaufstrich und zur Herstellung mürben Gebäcks interessiert. Die aufgrund dieses Bedarf entstandene Speisefett und Margarineindustrie hätte allein mit den von der Natur angebotenen konsistenten Fetten nicht den 00.000.1969 -heutigen- () Umsatz und die derzeitige Qualität erzielen können, wenn nicht die Erfindung der Fetthärtung weitere Rohstoffquellen erschlossen hätte. Die große wirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Hydrierung sowohl für die Rohstoff- als auch für die Industrieländer geht aber auch daraus hervor, daß die sonst geschmacklich kaum haltbaren Wal- und Fischöle nur durch partielle Hydrierung in großen Umfang für die Ernährung nutzbar gemacht werden konnten. (Aus: Gander Technologie der Speisefette Berlin 00.000.1969 ) der Bedarf verschob sich von den tierischen Rohstoffen mit den USA als Hauptlieferant zu den pflanzlichen Rohstoffen unter anderen aus den Kolonien. Die Nachfrage nach den bereits eingesetzten Rohstoffen Sesam, Baumwollsamen, Kokos und Palmkern stieg durch die Fetthärtung deutlich an. Sesam kam aus China, Baumwollsaat aus Indien, Ägypten und den USA, Kopra aus Indien, Ceylon, den Philippinen, Niederländisch Indien sowie den deutschen Südseekolonien Neu Guinea und Samoa + Palmkerne kamen aus Britisch-Westafrijka, aber auch aus den westafrikanischen deutschen Kolonien Kamerun und Togo; Neu Guinea, Samoa, Kamerun und Togo wurden in Deutschland deshalb "unsere Ölkolonien" genannt. Weitere koloniale Rohstoffe konnten in die Produktion einbezogen werden: Erdnuß und Soja. Erdnußhartfett wurde auf Grund seiner ausgezeichneten Qualität zur Erzeugung von Spitzensorten von Margarine verwendet. Deutschland importierte Erdnüsse aus Britisch-Indien und Westafrika. Sojabohnen wurden überwiegend in der chinesischen Mandschurei angebaut und ab 00.000.1910 in größeren Mengen nach Europa exportiert. (Aus: Pelzer und Reith Margarine Berlin 2001) 00.000.1817-00.000.1880 Apothekerassistent Hippolyte Mége-Moutries () mixte in seinem Labor als erster das, was sich dann unter dem Namen „Margarine" durchsetzte. Rindertalg, versetzt mit Magermilch, Wasser, Natriumhydrogencarbonat und zerkleinertem Kuheuter, durchgeknetet und abgekühlt. 00.000.1871 entstand die erste Margarinefabrik der Familie Henri Jürgens im niederländischen Oss. Der wachsende Fleischkonsum, vor allem in USA, lieferte viel Fettabfall von Schlachttieren für die aufblühende Margarineindustrie. 00.000.1902 wurde die Erfindung der Fetthärtung patentiert; seit den 00.000.1920 er Jahren verdrängen pflanzliche Fette z.B. aus Kopra (zerkleinertes und getrocknetes Mark der Kokosnuss) und Palmkern die tierischen Fette. Desodorierungsverfahren machten u.a. auch Baumwollsaaten genießbar. 00.000.1930 gingen die größten Margarineproduzenten Jürgens, van den Berg und Schicht in dem UNILEVER - Konzern auf. Das Milchimitat wandelte sein Image Volksnahrung in städtischen Ballungsräumen, zum Alltagsluxus der „Gesundheitsbewussten" und solcher, die sich dazu machen ließen. Ganz wichtig war, dass sich die richtigen Leute ihrer Herstellung und ihres Vertriebes annahmen – jene, die etwas verstanden vom Handel mit Fetten, die weltoffene Geschäftsleute waren und in der Reklame [PROPAGANDA] Meister. Gezielte Werbung [PROPAGANDA] , unter anderem mit medizinischen Falschaussagen, die sich bis heute unwidersprochen halten, verhalf der Margarine zum Durchbruch gegenüber dem Original, dem natürlichen Konkurrenten, der Butter. Mitverantwortlich war sicherlich auch das fehlende ! Engagement der Ärzte, die sich nicht um eine echte Ursachenforschung kümmerten. Ohne Chemiker keine Margarine ! Die Margarine muss der Butter so ähnlich! wie möglich gemacht werden, im Aussehen, Geschmack, Geruch, Konsistenz, Struktur und Streichfähigkeit. Die Rohstoffe sind meistens pflanzlich: Öle aus Sojabohnen, Kokosnüssen, Erdnüssen, Sesamsaat, Sonnenblumenkernen, Palmkernen, Mais, Distelsamen, Baum¬wollsaat und Rapssamen. Auch ein gewisser Prozentsatz tierischer Fette, wie Walöl, Waltran, Fischöl und Fette verschiedener Haustiere, z. B. Rindertalg ist erlaubt. Für einige hochwertige Margarinen werden die Rohstoffe aus biologischem Anbau verwendet und unter weniger technischer Manipulation hergestellt. Der Einsatz von Zusätzen erfolgt nach den Grundlagen der EU-Bioverordnung zurückhaltender, dennoch ist es im Gegensatz zur Butter ein denaturiertes Produkt und daher zum Verzehr nur bedingt empfehlenswert. Mit Leichtbenzin n-Hexan wird mittels Wärme das Öl aus den zerkleinerten Rohstoffen entzogen. Entlecithinierung - damit das Öl klar wird und nicht mit Trübstoffen belastet wird. Aus ungesättigten Fettsäuren entstehen gesättigte Fettsäuren und unerwünschte veränderte trans-Fettsäuren. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die trans-Fettsäuren die Gesamtcholesterin-Konzentration im Blut ansteigen lassen. It won't be a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, out there on the edge of the prairie. Garrison Keillor -- one of the few Democratic voices heard and respected by red staters, a man difficult to smear or "swift boat" -- has called for the impeachment of George W. Bush. Our adventure in Iraq, at a cost of trillions, has brought that country to the verge of civil war while earning us more enemies than ever before. And tax money earmarked for security is being dumped into pork barrel projects anywhere somebody wants their own SWAT team. Detonation of a nuclear bomb within our borders -- pick any big city -- is a real possibility, as much so now as five years ago. Meanwhile, many Democrats have conceded the very subject of security + positioned themselves as Guardians of Our Forests + Benefactors of Waifs + Owls, neglecting the most basic job of government, which is to defend this country. Snicker if you must, but I say that Keillor is one of the best writers America has ever produced.

The scene is the Little Falls branch of the Montgomery County Public Library in Bethesda, Md. Business is going on as usual when two men in uniform stride into the main reading room and call for attention. Then they make an announcement: It is forbidden to use the library's computers to view Internet pornography. As people are absorbing this, one of the men challenges a patron about a Web site he is visiting and asks the man to step outside. At this point, a librarian intervenes and calls the uniformed men aside. A police officer is summoned. The men leave. It turns out they are employees of the county's department of Homeland Security and were operating way outside their authority. We are indebted to reporter Cameron W. Barr of the Washington Post for the account of this incident, which, I feel constrained to repeat, did not happen in China, Cuba or North Korea. Rather, it happened a few days ago in this country. Right here in freedom's land.
"New York Times" gegen Pentagon: Wegen der umstrittenen Abhörpraxis des US-Geheimdienstes NSA hat die Zeitung Klage gegen das Verteidigungsministerium eingereicht. New York - Die Zeitung verlangt von dem für den Geheimdienst zuständigen Ministerium die Herausgabe einer Liste von Unterlagen, darunter alle internen Memos und Emails des Abhörprogrammes. Das Blatt fordert zudem die Namen der Einzelpersonen oder Gruppen, die im Zuge der Abhöraktionen identifiziert wurden. Die "New York Times" hatte erstmals über das geheime Abhörprogramm der US-Regierung berichtet. Kritiker bezweifeln die Rechtmäßigkeit des geheimen Lauschangriffes ohne richterliche Genehmigung. And then they allowed the bombers to proceed with their deadly plot. Two of the tube bombers had been tracked and photographed meeting with other suspected Islamic terrorists to plot attacks on British citizens. But MI5 officers made the bizarre decision to let the plot continue. But it wasn't the only MI5 connection to the bombings that have brought England ever closer to a complete police state. The alleged "ringleader" of the tube bombings is an MI5 double-agent himself. Renegade MI5 agents are demanding a full public investigation, but as of now the incriminating details seep out a little at a time.Permalink 28.Feb.2006 How low can he go?

Der missbrauche seinen Namen, schimpfte Berlusconi kürzlich, ohne selbst Mills' Namen zu nennen, "um sich vor den Steuerbehörden seines Landes zu retten + seiner (Mills') Sozietät die genaue Höhe seiner Einkünfte vorzuenthalten" 28.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-403544,00.html
Trotz ihrer langjährigen Geschäftsbeziehung übergab er das explosive Schreiben umgehend der britischen Polizei, die es an die italienischen Kollegen weiterreichte. Die Mailänder Staatsanwälte luden Mills zur Befragung vor + konfrontierten ihn mit ihrem Verdacht: Die 600.000 Dollar seien kein Geschenk gewesen, sondern eine Bestechungszahlung. Zu dieser Annahme trug auch der verschlungene Weg via Offshore-Banken auf den Bahamas + den British Virgin Islands bei, den das Geld auf dem Weg zu Mills zurückgelegt hatte. "Das verrückteste, komplizierteste Netz, das ich je gesehen habe", berichtete ein Ermittler der "Sunday Times", die am Wochenende einen langen, akribisch recherchierten Artikel veröffentlichte. bestand den Staatsanwälten zufolge genau darin: ein verschlungenes Netzwerk von Offshore-Firmen + Trusts zu unterhalten, "um Steuerzahlungen in Italien zu vermeiden und riesige Gewinne zu machen". In allen Gerichtsverfahren gegen seinen Mandanten zog sich Mills geschickt aus der Affäre.
00.Apr.2006 -Anfang- schreiten die Italiener zu den Urnen. vorher noch zur Anklage wegen Steuervergehens, Anleitung zur Falschaussage vor Gericht + aktiver Bestechung gegen Berlusconi kommen, hätte Anwalt Mills dazu nicht nur durch - gelinde gesagt - missverständliche Äußerungen beigetragen. Er (Mills) müsste zudem womöglich neben seinem Ex-Mandanten (Berlusconi) auf der Anklagebank Platz nehmen: Berlusconis Wohltat galt nämlich, so die Ermittler, dem englischen "Vollidioten" (Mills) . Der (Mills) nennt sich selbst so, seit ein Brief an die Öffentlichkeit geriet, in dem Mills seinem (Mills) Steuerberater einen brisanten Sachverhalt schilderte. 00.Feb.2004 Dem Anwalt (Mills) saß damals- das britische Finanzamt im Nacken. Die Steuerfahnder wollten vor allem wissen, woher jene 00.000.2000 -im Herbst- 600.000 Dollar stammten, mit denen Mills seine kurzfristige Hypothek auf sein (Mills) Haus im Londoner Stadtteil Kentish Town abbezahlt hatte. Er (Mills) habe in mehreren Zeugenaussagen vor Gericht "Mr. B. (Berlusconi) viel Ärger erspart", schrieb Mills in seinem Brief, indem er (Mills) vor italienischen Gerichten zwar "keine Lügen erzählt" habe, aber "ziemlich um die Ecke geschrammt" sei. Später sei ihm (Mills) die Summe in Aussicht gestellt + diskret bezahlt worden. "Ich behandelte den Betrag als Geschenk. Was hätte er sonst sein können?" Mehrere Britische Zeitungen + Fernsehsender haben den brisanten Brief inzwischen in Auszügen veröffentlicht.
Tony Blairs Kulturministerin Tessa Jowell hat ein Problem. Ermittler in Italien wollen wissen, von wem ihr Mann, der Londoner Anwalt David Mills, 600.000 Dollar bekam. Die Mailänder Staatsanwaltschaft glaubt den Wohltäter + seine Motive zu kennen: Silvio Berlusconi. London - Fünf wohlgeratene, längst erwachsene Kinder, eine Frau mit besten Verbindungen zur Macht, eine gutgehende Wirtschaftskanzlei sowie eine Reihe von Immobilien - das Leben hat es gut gemeint mit David Mills. Freilich hat der Londoner Anwalt auch stets hart gearbeitet, dabei nicht zuletzt seine glänzenden Italienisch-Kenntnisse nutzbringend eingesetzt. Mit Gattin Tessa Jowell, 58, die seit Jahren in Tony Blairs Kabinett als Kulturministerin dient, bildet Mills, 61, eines der einflussreichsten Paare in der Londoner New-Labour-Aristokratie.
Das Unterhaus billigte Blairs Vorlage jedoch ein zweites Mal und reichte sie ohne wesentliche Änderungen ans Oberhaus zurück. Damit zeichnet sich nun ein längeres Tauziehen zwischen den beiden Parlamentskammern ab.

Bush freute sich über Bin Ladens Botschaft Präsident Bush ist so unbeliebt wie nie - 34 % -nur noch- der Bürger stehen hinter ihm. Er selbst glaubt einem neuen Buch zufolge, dass er 04.Nov.2004 ohne die Hilfe Osama Bin Ladens möglicherweise abgewählt worden wäre. Washington - Ungewollte Schützenhilfe habe ihm der al-Qaida-Chef zukommen lassen, heißt es in einem Buch "Strategery", das heute der Washingtoner "Examiner" in Auszügen veröffentlicht hat.

Die Veröffentlichung des 15-minütigen Bandes [00.000.2004 -wenige Tage vor der Wahl-] habe zwar zunächst Unsicherheit in Bushs Wahlkampfteam ausgelöst, da die Folgen nicht abzuschätzen gewesen seien. Doch dann habe sich der Eindruck verfestigt, dass es eher hilfreich sein könnte, sagte Bush dem Autoren. "Ich dachte mir, es wird helfen, die Leute daran zu erinnern, dass irgendetwas an Bush richtig sein muss, wenn Bin Laden sich gegen ihn als Präsidenten ausspricht." 04.Nov.2004 -im- Bush hatte die Wahl knapp gegen Kerry gewonnen.
Nach Angaben des Zeugen, Roger Ostlund, sei Palme gar nicht das eigentliche Ziel des Angriffs gewesen. Stattdessen habe der Täter Palme mit einem Drogenhändler verwechselt. Ostlund hatte bereits zuvor angegeben, er und Pettersson hätten sich in der Nähe des Tatorts aufgehalten. Erst jetzt erklärte er aber, die Tat beobachtet zu haben. Andererseits war es gar nicht so einfach, eine eindeutige Stoßrichtung auszumachen. Denn Palme hatte viele Feinde. "Er war ein sehr internationaler Mann. Es gab zahlreiche Bedrohungen aus verschiedenen Ecken der Welt, aber auch aus der schwedischen Gesellschaft", sagt Edqvist in einem Gespräch mit der Nachrichtenagentur AFP. Er unterstützte die kommunistischen Regierungen in Kuba und Nicaragua, sprach sich gegen Apartheid und Atomenergie aus und propagierte eine Umverteilung der Reichtümer dieser Welt. Die Fahnder ermittelten in alle erdenklichen Richtungen: Verdächtigt wurden die Arbeiterpartei Kurdistans (PKK), die schwedische Armee und Polizei und der südafrikanische Geheimdienst. Aus der Bevölkerung gingen bis heute rund 200.000 Hinweise ein; rund eine halbe Million Dokumente stapeln sich in den Polizeiarchiven. Bei einer anschließenden Analyse im nationalen Vogelgrippe-Referenzlabor auf der Insel Riems sei dann das H5N1-Virus in den Proben gefunden worden. In den vergangenen Jahren starben in Asien mehrere Großkatzen, die in Zoos mit H5N1-infiziertem Geflügel gefüttert worden waren. Hauskatzen erwiesen sich in Studien ebenfalls als empfänglich. Eine Ansteckung von Menschen durch infizierte Katzen wurde aber bisher noch nicht nachgewiesen, auch eine Weitergabe des Erregers von Katze zu Katze ist bisher nicht dokumentiert worden. "Ich würde keine Katze in Gebieten frei herumlaufen lassen, in denen Vögel in nennenswerter Zahl an einer H5N1-Infektion verendet sind", sagte der Marburger Infektionsbiologe Hans-Dieter Klenk im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL ONLINE.

Guthrie was a member of the ARA. So too were two members of a skinhead band from Philadelphia, Scott Stedeford + Kevin McCarthy, as well as an old friend of Guthrie's, Pete Langan, the brains behind the gang who also, curiously, happened to be a closet transvestite with a penchant for shaving his pubic hair + painting his toenails pink.

The Unsolved Mystery of the Oklahoma City Bombing By Andrew Gumbel, Truthdig Long before the Iraq war, 11.Sep.2001 -long before- the U.S. government had already mastered the art of fluffing its intelligence on a looming threat, botching the response + then working furiously to cover its mistakes. The 00.000.1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building - - at the time the worst peacetime atrocity committed on U.S. soil, with 168 dead + hundreds more injured -- has been largely overshadowed by the destruction of the World Trade Center + all that has followed. But the storyline is nevertheless unnervingly familiar. 11.Sep.2001 , this is a case of the federal government first failing to recognize or act on crucial warning signs + then claiming there were no warning signs at all. It's about coming up with a plausible cover story + sticking to it, no matter what. In contrast to the most glaring failures of the Bush administration, though, the government's bluff on Oklahoma City has gone largely uncalled. Timothy McVeigh, the alleged mastermind, was sentenced to death + executed, while Terry Nichols, supposedly his only accomplice, is serving a life sentence. And that, for most people, has been the end of the story. Only the dogged persistence of a handful of amateur investigators, academics, journalists + lawyers has revealed more uncomfortable truths about the bombing + who might have committed it. Thanks to a flurry of Freedom of Information + other lawsuits, the FBI's own paperwork is beginning to seriously contradict the official version of what happened. And more is being revealed all the time. Let's make this clear, folks. The docs Heller is accused of exposing were important evidence.

Natural questions have been raised about the authenticity of these reports. Is it a hoax and fiction? Is it a disinformation psychological operation (PSYOP) of some kind? Is it part of an acclimation program to further educate and prepare Americans and the international population for the reality of extraterrestrial visitation and activities on Earth? Or, is it something else or some combination of things? If accurate or partially accurate, it is certainly interesting that this information has now become public and part of open source intelligence (OSINT). In recent days, people involved in the Web site serpo.org have posted previously undisclosed alleged accounts from former military and other officials who were reportedly directly involved in some capacity with Project SERPO-related activities. Project SERPO is the alleged exchange program between astronaut-trained American military personnel and friendly visitors from a planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system in the 1960s and 70s. Thanks to the efforts of a handful of dogged investigators, the FBI's own paperwork is beginning to seriously contradict the official version of the attack.

Seizure of the whole company would have been detrimental to the war effort. 25.Mar.1942 U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold announced that William Stamps Farish had pleaded "no contest" to charges of criminal conspiracy with the Nazis. Farish was the principal manager of a cartel agreement between Standard Oil and I.G. Farben. The cartel built an industrial plant to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal at Auschwitz to take advantage of the slave labor. The Deutsche-Amerikanische Petroleum A.G. (DAPAG), the Standard Oil subsidiary in Germany, was 94-% owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey. Standard Oil of New Jersey was represented in the inner circles of Naziism by Karl Lindemann, director of DAPAG + member of Himmler's Circle of Friends + by board member Emil Helfrich, who was an original member of the Keppler Circle. Karl Lindemann connections extended into the international banking area as director of several banks, including the Dresdner Bank + the Deutsche Reichsbank + the private Nazi-oriented bank of C. Melchior & Company 00.000.1945 The Treasury Department revealed to congress that United Steel produced the following percentages of war munitions for the Nazis: Pig iron 50.8%; Pipe & tubes 45.5%; Universal plate 41.4%; Galvanised sheet 38.5%; Heavy plate 36%; Explosives 35%; Wire 22.1%. This is the same firm Prescott Bush acted, as banker for. In effect, Prescott Bush was Hitler’s American banker. Allen Dulles sought out a young Naval Officer that had been put in charge of some captured Nazi documents. If the documents surfaced it would have revealed Dulles as a traitor. In a deal to bury the documents, Dulles agreed to finance the young man’s first political race. This was the beginning of the political career of Richard Nixon. Project Paperclip begins to import Nazis into the USA. According to the former intelligence officers we interviewed on this point, the blackmail was simple and powerful: The Dulles brothers (John Foster, later Secretary of State + Allen, later director of the CIA) had one of their clients threaten to interrupt the U.S. oil supply during wartime." When confronted by Arnold on the Standard - Farben arrangement "Standard executives made it clear that the entire U.S. war effort was fueled by their oil + it could be stopped. . . . The American government had no choice but to go along if it wanted to win the war." (14) "Before the war Standard of New Jersey had forged a synthetic oil and rubber cartel with the Nazi-controlled I.G. Farben," which "worked well 00.000.1941 -until- the USA joined WWII.. . . . Next to the Rockefellers, I.G. Farben owned the largest share of stock in Standard Oil of New Jersey. Among other things, Standard Oil of New Jersey had provided Farben with its synthetic rubber patents + technical knowledge, while Farben had kept its patents to itself, under strict instructions from the Nazi government." Evidence which Thurman Arnold turned over to the Truman Committee, which Truman would declare "treasonous," included 00.000.1939 "Standard Oil of New Jersey s letter renewing its agreement, which made it clear that the Rockefellers' company was prepared to work with the Nazis whether their own government was at war with the Third Reich or not. Truman's Senate Committee on the National Defense was outraged + began to probe into the whole scandalous arrangement, much to the discomfort of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Suddenly, however, the whole matter was dropped. "There was a reason for Rockefeller's escape: blackmail. According to the former intelligence officers we interviewed on this point, the blackmail was simple and powerful: The Dulles brothers (John Foster, later Secretary of State + Allen, later director of the CIA) had one of their clients threaten to interrupt the U.S. oil supply during wartime." When confronted by Arnold on the Standard - Farben arrangement "Standard executives made it clear that the entire U.S. war effort was fueled by their oil and it could be stopped. . . . The American government had no choice but to go along if it wanted to win the war."

I can use that story to directly tie Bush and or Cheney directly into multiple war game exercises which I have now established were used to paralyze fighter response on 11.Sep.2001 . There never was a stand down order issued. That would have been way too incriminating + might not have been followed by fighter pilots who had trained their whole lives to respond to a situation like this. I have an on-the-record statement from someone in NORAD that on the day of 11.Sep.2001 The Joint Chiefs (Myers) + NORAD were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack Field Training Exercise (FTX) which involved at least one (and almost certainly many more) aircraft under US control that was posing as a hijacked airliner. That is just the tip of what I have uncovered. ) If pursued it will enable the government to discredit the Tripod story and war games analysis when it reaches mainstream media and it will... I went to the sources and started asking direct questions. The story’s transcript said “A member of the Hyannis Fire Department, Tom Kennedy, was interviewed by Dan Rather after working for nearly 50 hours at Ground Zero. He said, “We arrived Monday night and started immediately…” 11.Sep.2001 was a Tuesday. Rather mispronounced Kenney’s name as Kennedy, something many people said proved some kind of a conspiracy. 19.May 200- -on- Guiliani's revelation to the Kean Commission of a 12.Sep.2001 -planned- New York City BIO-warfare emergency exercise drill, called "Tripod" (Part II), which had PIER 92 AS ITS COMMAND CENTER, validated Tom Kenney's early claim that FEMA emergency personnel arrived in NY City THE DAY BEFORE the attack, 10.Sep.2001 FEMA personnel came into NY City from out of state, including Kenney who came in from Boston; because putting up large numbers of out-of-state personnel is extremely costly at a time of belt tightening; because ALL THESE OTHER wargames/exercises/drills took place ON 11.Sep.2001 , the BIO-warfare response exercise Tripod was ALSO NOT SEPT. 12; or, at the very least, that 11.Sep.2001 was to have been the first of a TWO-day, or multiple-day, drill. It is a lesson to us all about the care we must use in reaching conclusions. And on and on. But I trust you get the point. Which is simply this: there are no secrets, an American government would never accept civilian casualties for geostrategic gain + conspiracies are for the weak-minded + gullible.

11.Sep.2001 -At one time on- as many as 22 aircraft appeared to be hijacked. Suddenly, the virtue, now verging on necessity, of switching off the transponders becomes evident. With loss of transponder signals the planes became bogies + discriminating real from simulated hijackings became next to impossible. changing the standing orders for a shootdown in June 2001 by removing the discretion of field commanders + placing it solely in the hands of the Secretary of Defense.
What was the value-added benefit for the 11.Sep.2001 hijackers in turning off their transponder signals? the transponders merely ID'd the flights. And yet the transponders of all four flights were switched off. What was gained? particularly the exercise called "Vigilant Guardian": the live-fly simulation of hijackings in the US Northeast staged by the Joint Chiefs + NORAD the very morning of the attacks.

Pore clues The team found an increase in cereal pollen from 1200 onwards (reflecting agricultural expansion), followed by a sudden dive around 1347, linked to the agricultural crisis caused by the arrival of the Black Death, most probably a bacterial disease spread by rat fleas. This bubonic plague is said to have wiped out over a third of Europe's population. Counting stomata (pores) on ancient oak leaves provided van Hoof's team with a measure of the fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide for the same period. This is because leaves absorb carbon dioxide through their stomata + their density varies as carbon dioxide goes up and down. 00.000.1200-00.000.1300 "-Between- we see a decrease in stomata + a sharp rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide, due to deforestation we think," says Dr van Hoof, whose findings are published in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology. But 00.000.1350 -after-, the team found, the pattern reversed, suggesting that atmospheric carbon dioxide fell, perhaps due to reforestation following the plague. The researchers think that this drop in carbon dioxide levels could help to explain a cooling in the climate over the following centuries. from Posh'n'Becks to the internet, he sees change and decay all around. 22.Feb.2006 https://news.com.com/2001-11386_3-0.html?tag=ne.tab.hd 23.Feb.2006 https://news.com.com/2001-11386_3-0.html?tag=ne.tab.hd Buffett selbst fasst die Charakteristiken eines lohnenden Investitionszieles immer wie folgt zusammen: "Wir investieren nur in eine Firma, wenn wir

This partly explains how the creature could have escaped the predatory eyes of dinosaurs. The fossil skeleton measured almost half a meter in length, the biggest known mammal fossil discovery dating back to the Jurassic era. The paleontologists speculate that the creature must have weighed 1.1-1.7 pounds. The discovery has overturned the previously held notion that mammals in the Jurassic era were small shrew-like creatures. It is time to stop using the troops as a shield for failed policy.

Permalink (Some suspect that he had a hand in helping the Niger forgeries make their way toward our shores.) After some uncomfortable media attention, Straight renamed itself the Drug-Free America Foundation (DFAF); the program still tortures children and still carries the Bush family endorsement. As this must-read web site reveals, the Straight/DFAF cult - + it is a cult - has many, many ties to the Republican party. This camp is part of a nationwide effort by Republicans to exercise violent, cult-like control over an entire generation. As this column in the Cincinatti Beacon reveals, the "investigation" of this Floridian gulag for the young has been handed over to cronies of the Semblers, the folks who gave us the notorious Straight program. For this crime, he was tossed into the Bay County Boot Camp, a facility run by Jeb Bush's Department of Juvenile Justice, where troubled young people get the full "Abu Ghraib" treatment: The screaming guards. The pressure points. The knee takedowns. The acrid ammonia stick shoved in the face of a rubber-legged 14-year-old named Martin Lee Anderson. Not because he saw it all the way most people did -- in a grainy videotape of the guards and Martin before his death -- but because Aaron was there, at Bay County Boot Camp, receiving much of the same violent treatment that still makes him shudder miles away from it all.

President Bush presented an image to the nation that on the morning of the attack he was going about his usual Presidential itinerary and that he was caught completely by surprise. However, a careful look at the timeline of the attack + what he would have known with his intelligence sources, shows a premeditated intent to convey such an image with the intent to deceive. By the time he responded, it was too late to stop three of the four planes. Most Americans knew about the attack before President Bush responded. Does he expect us to believe that in this day of instantaneous communication available to the lay public that the President of the USA + those who advise him could be so slow to grasp the gravity of the situation? A meeting involving 150 experts next week at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska will be the most significant examination of America's nuclear weapons capabilities since a similar event was held at Offutt 00.000.1995, a Defense Department spokesman said Wednesday. Maj. Michael Shavers said the Aug. 7 meeting hosted by the Strategic Command will be "fairly broad and wide-ranging," but he declined to say directly whether the topic of mini- nuclear weapons will be on the table. Mini-nukes could be used to destroy targets such as reinforced bunkers holding chemical or biological weapons with less damage to surrounding areas, administration officials and government scientists have said. The meeting, he said, will examine the nation's nuclear weapons systems and the role they should play in the future to serve as a nuclear deterrent to potential adversaries. A former national security analyst on Capitol Hill called the meeting a responsible response to new threats that confront the USA, particularly worthy in light of the 11.Sep.2001 terrorist attacks. The political fallout from the new Bush doctrine is not confined to the anti - nuclear fringe. A number of leading Democrats have also come out against it. California senator Diane Feinstein said: "This administration seems to be moving toward a military posture in which nuclear weapons are considered just like other weapons. Their purpose is not simply to serve as a deterrent but they would be a usable instrument of military power, like a tank, a fighter aircraft, or a cruise missile. "The effect of such a development could well be to legitimise the production of these new nuclear bombs by other countries and make them that much more likely to fall into the hands of enemy states or terrorist groups." This week's meeting takes place against the background of a struggle in Congress. For 10 years all research on weapons with a payload of less than five kilotons has been banned under the Spratt-Furse Agreement. Earlier this year the Senate voted to end the ban, provided the Pentagon and Department of Energy sought authorisation from Congress before researching development of low-yield nuclear weapons. But the House of Representatives voted to keep it. The two sides are expected to try to settle their differences in a House -Senate conference committee this month. A bill before Congress would provide dollars 15million for research and testing of the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, dollars 6million to research other advanced nuclear concepts and dollars 25million to resume the nuclear testing programme. Officials of the National Nuclear Security Administration, a branch of the US Department of Energy responsible for the US nuclear weapons industry, say that one reason for this week's meeting is 'stockpile stewardship', making sure the US nuclear arsenal is in working order. Since the test ban was introduced, the US has tested its weapons using computer simulation. "We have no requirements for new nuclear warheads + we are not developing nuclear warheads," said John Harvey, NNSA's director of policy planning. "That said, part of our responsibility is to understand what the options are." Meanwhile, after spreading the word via the activists' website, protest.net, the anti- nuclear demonstrators have begun to gather in Omaha for what they describe as an "international event full of activities, including educationals/workshops, a commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima + Nagasaki, a rally, peace concert and a march". It could feel like 1980 all over again. 09.Oct.2003 Auf einem Stützpunkt der US-Armee im Bundesstaat Nebraska trafen sich Experten aus Forschung + Militär, um über den künftigen Einsatz von Nuklearwaffen zu beraten 09.Oct.2003 Donnerstag trafen sich auf dem Luftwaffenstützpunkt Offutt im US-Bundesstaat Nebraska 150 Experten aus Militär und Rüstungsindustrie, um den Umgang mit dem nordamerikanischen Nukleararsenal zu beraten.

Aber vor einiger Zeit wurde dem Journalisten Ron Suskind ein Interview mit einem Mann gewährt, der als "hochstehender Berater Bushs" bezeichnet wurde. Es ist eine ernüchternde Lektüre: "Der Berater sagte, Typen wie ich gehören "zur Gemeinschaft von Realitätsfixierten", die er als Leute beschrieb, die glauben, daß "sich Lösungen aus einer sorgfältigen Untersuchung der wahrnehmbaren Wirklichkeit ergeben". Ich nickte und murmelte etwas von aufgeklärten Prinzipien und empirischem Vorgehen. Er fiel mir ins Wort: "So funktioniert die Welt aber nicht mehr", fuhr er fort. "Wir sind jetzt ein Imperium + wenn wir agieren, schaffen wir unsere eigene Wirklichkeit.
