Villepin ist um eine Entschärfung der Situation bemüht, die sich in den vergangenen Wochen zugespitzt und ihm sowie seiner Partei im Vorfeld der Wahlen 2007 deutlich geschadet hat. Er hatte angeboten, "ohne Vorurteile" über Wege zu diskutieren, wie mit den Ängsten vor dem geplanten Gesetz umgegangen werden könne. Die Zeitung "Le Parisien" berichtete, Staatspräsident Jacques Chirac habe Villepin gedrängt, den Kontakt mit den Gewerkschaften wieder aufzunehmen und indirekt mit der Entlassung Villepins gedroht.

"Wenn sich die Dinge nicht sehr schnell ändern, wird der Ministerpräsident gefeuert", zitierte das Blatt einen ungenannten Regierungsvertreter.

Am Wochenende hatten Hunderttausende gegen das Gesetz protestiert. Die Gewerkschaften haben für Dienstag einen Generalstreik im Land ausgerufen.

Teilnehmer des Pariser Protests heute erklärten, die Kundgebung sei offensichtlich von Krawallmachern unterwandert worden. "Heute sind viele jugendliche Kriminelle dabei, die klauen und Sachen kaputt schlagen.

Das schadet der Bewegung", sagte etwa Charlie Herblin, ein 22-jähriger Arbeiter. Augenzeugen berichteten, die zumeist Vermummten hätten demonstrierenden Studenten Kleidungsstücke und Mobiltelefone abgenommen.

"Sie sollen wissenschaftliche Aufgaben übernehmen, die kein einzelner Satellit erfüllen könnte, egal welche Fähigkeiten er besitzt."

Denn trotz ihrer kompakten Maße besitzen die "ST5"-Winzlinge eine eigene Stromversorgung, einen eigenen Antrieb und haben auch Systeme für Kommunikation, Navigation und Steuerung an Bord. Kurz nach dem Start trennen nur wenige Meter die Satelliten voneinander. Nach 20 Tagen sollen sie 40 bis 200 Kilometer voneinander entfernt in einer Formation koordinierte Messungen vornehmen.

The depths to which the president's little brother will go were revealed again yesterday when it was learned that he benefited from a charitable donation made by his mother.

Neil Bush may have achieved a new low when his mommy gave money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, with the stipulation that it be used to buy services from Ignite! Learning, a company owned by her idiot son.

00.000.1999 he founded Ignite! Learning, a company that creates multimedia curriculum for kids. Their latest product is the COW, curriculum on wheels.

H5N1 bindet beim Menschen vor allem an Zellen in den Lungenbläschen, etwa den Typ-II-Pneumozyten, Epithelzellen und Makrophagen, wodurch sich auch die schweren Lungenprobleme bei einer Infektion erklären. Für das "Andocken" der Grippeviren ist ihr Hämagglutinin-Molekül (H) zuständig. Während menschliche Viren dabei die Sialosaccharide des Typs SA--2,6-Gal als Rezeptoren bevorzugen, dringen Vogelgrippe-Viren beim Menschen über SA--2,3-Gal in Zellen ein und vermehren sich dort. Und diese Empfangsmoleküle entdeckten die Forscher um Yoshihiro Kawaoka von der Universität in Madison vor allem in den tieferen Lungenbereichen. Sie folgern in "Nature", daß eine veränderte Rezeptorvorliebe die H5N1-Übertragung zwischen Menschen erleichtern könnte.

Dazu seien Mutationen im Hämagglutinin nötig, für eine Pandemie jedoch bedürfe es mehr Veränderungen, etwa beim Protein P2.

Madison/Rotterdam - Das jüngste Opfer der Vogelgrippe ist eine Reiherente - gefunden in Süddeutschland, auf der Schwäbischen Alb.

Gleichzeitig bestätigt die Weltgesundheitsorganisation inzwischen bei 184 Menschen weltweit die Infektion mit dem gefürchteten H5N1-Virus und zählt 103 Todesopfer, die aktuellen Fälle in Ägypten nicht mitgerechnet.

Doch in Deutschland, wo die Bundesregierung jetzt ein neues Programm zur Erforschung der Vogelgrippe unterstützt, beschränkt sich die Ausbreitung des Influenza-Erregers auf die heimische Fauna. Bei etwa 226 Wildvögeln, drei Katzen und einem Steinmarder wurde der gefährliche Erreger der Geflügelpest bislang festgestellt. Zum Glück. Menschen stecken sich nur bei engem Kontakt mit infizierten Tieren an.

Tell my how the standard story accounts for the antenna, attached to the core, beginning to move downward as soon as the collapse began.

How can the standard story explain the topmost 20 floors or so, tipping over sideways (as shown in the photos), not landing well outside the footprint of the building, but instead being pulverized to dust IN THE AIR.

Are there any of the alleged mechanisms that can yield a near-free fall time for the collapse of the buildings, even though they would have been falling through redundantly strong steel and concrete floors below?

Something is turning + it is happening here in NYC where about 50% of people polled, people who saw that shit, think it was at least in part an inside job.
What is totally scary is that for many of us who speculated about 9/11 truth issues for the last several years, and hoped for the truth to come out, if we are right, then all bets are off about what kind of politics we get next. It's terrifying to consider what would happen if even some of the theories were proven to the public and ratified by the media: truth and reconciliation style commissions going back to JFK or lynch mobs in DC looking for cabinet members and congressmen?
I don't know but you can smell it in the air here in NYC

On the other hand, there is something very much in the air, here in NYC. It is sometimes hard to keep in mind given the borderless internet that geography still matters with respect to the media + I recall that you are in LA. There is a lot of buzz here in NYC, because major local media are actually beginning to take 9/11 truth issues seriously. A few weeks ago, the Village Voice, perhaps the premiere alt weekly in the nation, devoted a cover and several articles to it, here:
https://villagevoice.com/news/0608,murphy,72254,6.html
And a few days ago, just as Charlie was making his comments, New York Magazine, a thorougly mainstream rag, ran a respectful 9/11 truth piece -- most importantly written by a reporter who was at ground zero on 9/11 and has been mystified ever since about the collapse of WTC7:
https://www.newyorkmetro.com/news/features/16464/index.html
One of the most chilling parts of the piece is his first hand recollection concerning WTC 7:
{quote}
Hours later, I sat down beside another, impossibly weary firefighter. Covered with dust, he was drinking a bottle of Poland Spring water. Half his squad was missing. They’d gone into the South Tower and never come out. Then, almost as a non sequitur, the fireman indicated the building in front of us, maybe 400 yards away.
“That building is coming down,” he said with a drained casualness.
“Really?” I asked. At 47 stories, it would be a skyscraper in most cities, centerpiece of the horizon. But in New York, it was nothing but a nondescript box with fire coming out of the windows. “When?”
“Tonight . . . Maybe tomorrow morning.”
This was around 5:15 p.m. I know because five minutes later, at 5:20, the building, 7 World Trade Center, crumbled.

If the Worcester Polytechnic Institute is puzzled by the presence of sulfur, I suppose I ought to be as well. Even so, this laymen would like to remind you of the presence of 109,000 gallons of oil, and that the type of oil used in the generation of electricty has (as a little googling will tell you) a notable sulfur content which would be dispersed into the air as the oil burns.
From the WPI's introduction to the "Mystery of the Melted Steel" study: ""The important questions," says Biederman, "are how much sulfur do you need + where did it come from?

The answer could be as simple--and this is scary--as acid rain."

4. "Your use of the interchange between Silverstein and the fire chief is itself a quote out of context. We don't have any record, as far as I'm aware, of what conversations Silverstein and the fire department had before that..."
I did quote in context. For quite a while now, bomb buffs have referenced that Silverman quote as though it were the holy effing grail. Now that I've pointed out that this quote doesn't mean what the buffs THINK it means, they say: "Pfft. His words are unimportant."
C'mon, guys. Play fair. This isn't Calvinball -- you can't change the rules as you go along.
5. "Joseph, can you actually find us evidence of an explosion that brought WTC7 down?"
By which you mean, I presume, an explosion involving the deisel tanks. In the first place, the burden of proof is on those positing a conspiracy. (I accept this challenge speaking as one who has posited a few conspiracies in his time.) Second, photographs show that fire broke out on the very floors where deisel tanks were stored. Coincidence?
6. "There is a lot of buzz here in NYC, because major local media are actually beginning to take 9/11 truth issues seriously."
Good. Maybe folks will start to ask about some of the real issues: Who is Magdy El-Amir? Who is Wally Hilliard? Why were the hijackers visiting those SunCruz boats?
But if the focus remains on this bombs-in-the-buildings crap, then I despair. Numbers of believers do not make a proposition true. If 75% of the public believes that a flying saucer crashed at Roswell, does that mean a saucer crashed at Roswell?
7. Every time I ask the "Why bother?" question, the answer comes down to this: "More psychological oomph. People would not have gotten really, really, REALLY scared unless they saw buildings fall."
Cah- mon , folks. Do you really expect me to believe that this posited "oomph" factor justified the drain on the economy and the loss of life?
Okay. Let us posit that someone -- call him Mr. Evil -- pushed a button and set off bombs in the south tower (the first building to go). Why didn't he wait until the building was evacuated?
A conspiracist might answer: "Because it was important to maximize the loss of life! He needed to SCARE people! Oomph! They needed lots of OOMPH!"
Okay. But if that "oomph" factor made it so bloody important to maximize the loss of life and scare people, why didn't Mr. Evil make BOTH buildings go down at once? Why wait until the north tower was evacuated?
"Um...maybe he was SOMEWHAT evil but not TOTALLY evil? Maybe he needed just a certain degree of OOMPH but not too much OOMPH?"
Yes, I know that I've argued with a straw man, which is, I suppose, a very presidential thing to do. I doubt that any real life debater will be able to make the scenario more convicing to me. Permalink

Ein Energiegipfel ist nur erfolgreich, wenn auch der Klimaschutz und damit die Biodiversität mit berücksichtigt werden.

Steiner:  Das Artensterben hat sich beschleunigt, wie wir auch aus den Bestandsaufnahmen der sogenannten Roten Liste der World Conservation Union IUCN wissen. Die Ausrottung seltener Tiere und Pflanzen vollzieht sich heute hundert- bis tausendmal schneller als vor hundert Jahren. Ein Viertel aller Säugetiere sind heute in ihrem Bestand bedroht. Wir stehen an einem Wendepunkt.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Welche Rolle spielt dabei der Klimawandel?
Steiner: Der Klimawandel spielt eine ganz zentrale Rolle, da er ganze Ökosysteme wie die Bergregionen, Polarzonen oder Korallenriffe beeinträchtigt. Die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt wird immer mehr ausgebeutet. Gebietsfremde und eingewanderte Arten verbreiten sich schneller als je zuvor als unvermeidbare Nebenwirkung des globalen Handels.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Aber durch die pazifische Auster in der Nordsee ist der Mensch doch nicht bedroht?
Steiner: Wir sollten uns nicht täuschen: Die Zerstörung oder Veränderung der Ökosysteme hat nicht nur Auswirkungen auf das Überleben der Tiere, sondern auch des Menschen. Wir haben als World Conservation Union gerade eine große Studie zur Rolle der Korallenriffe im Katastrophengebiet des großen Tsunamis im Jahre 2004 im Indischen Ozean vorgelegt. Ihr zufolge haben auch eine langjährige Überfischung, Meeresverschmutzung sowie Siedlungsaktivitäten die schützenden Korallenriffe vor den Urlaubsstränden mit zerstört.

Erzieher und Eltern sollten mit kleinen Kindern über Dinge sprechen, die sie mögen + nicht über Gegenstände, die für Erwachsene interessant sind.
22.Mar.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-407259,00.html
Die bunten, spannenden Gegenstände fesselten sofort die Aufmerksamkeit der Kinder, während die anderen Objekte lediglich kurz zur Kenntnis genommen wurden, schreiben die Forscher. Das spiegelte sich auch in den folgenden Sprachtests wider: Die Kleinen lernten und behielten Namen der bunten Dinge sehr viel besser als die der anderen. "Die Kinder kleben im Geiste eine Art Namensetikett auf die interessantesten Objekte, die sie sehen", sagt Hauptautorin Pruden.
"Wir haben herausgefunden, dass man auf einen Gegenstand schauen, ihn in die Hand nehmen und bewegen konnte, aber die Babys nahmen an, dass der Begriff, den man aussprach, zu dem anderen Gegenstand gehörte, für den sie sich gerade interessierten", sagt Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, die das Infant Lab der Temple University leitet.

"Niemand mag Krieg. Er führt zu einem Gefühl der Unsicherheit im Land", gab Bush zu.
22.Mar.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-407261,00.html
Immer gab sich der Präsident optimistisch, was den Ausgang des Einsatzes der US-Truppen drei Jahre nach dem Krieg angeht. Doch bei seiner gestrigen Pressekonferenz im Weißen Haus präsentierte sich Bush den Journalisten in einer wechselnden Stimmung. Mal habe er entspannt, dann aber auch gereizt auf die Fragen reagiert, urteilt die "New York Times". Als die langjährige Washington-Korrespondentin Helen Thomas wissen wollte, warum er den Irak-Krieg begonnen habe, fuhr es aus Bush heraus: "Bei allem Respekt, Helen: Mir zu unterstellen, dass ich diesen Krieg gewollt habe, ist schlichtweg falsch."

Bush gab sogar zu, dass ihn der Irak-Krieg ein großes Stück seiner politischen Kraft gekostet habe, die er seit seiner Wiederwahl vor zwei Jahren noch besaß. Wenn es ihm nicht gelänge, die skeptische Bevölkerung davon zu überzeugen, diese Mission erfolgreich zu beenden, würde diese seine ganze Amtszeit überschatten, sagte der Präsident.

Er glaube noch immer an einen Erfolg, beteuerte Bush. Er gab aber auch zu, dass Fehler beim Irak-Einsatz gemacht worden seien. Kriegspläne sähen immer gut auf dem Papier aus, "bis man den Feind sieht". Bush räumte ein, dass der Gegner im Irak das US-Militär zu einer Änderung der Taktik gezwungen habe. Dadurch sei wertvolle Zeit verlorengegangen, auch wenn Verteidigungsminister Donald Rumsfeld einen "guten Job" mache und er keinen Anlass für einen Rücktritt des Pentagon-Chefs sehe.

Der grosse Rivale Villepins, die Nummer 2 der Regierung, der Innenminister Sarkozy, (ich nenn ihn schon mal Napoleon der 4.)

versucht sich aus der Schusslinie des Protestes zu halten + nimmt in seinen Solidaritätserklärungen für Villepin sichtlich Distanz zu demselben. Er ist für einen einheitlichen Arbeitsvertrag für alle.

Damit hat er erkannt, dass die Bewegung einen Teil ihrer Stärke aus der Ablehnung der Sonderbehandlung der Jugend bezieht. Man kann aber durchaus sicher sein, dass er damit die Prekarität für alle im Sinn hat.
Die politische Klasse hat sichtlich die Hosen voll aber anscheinend einen Auftrag zu erfüllen.

Frankreich gilt selbst unter den Franzosen als Anachronismus in der durchliberalisierten Wirtschaft der westlichen Industrieländer.

Wo gibt?s denn noch so was, dass in einem industrialisierten Land in Mitteleuropa "die Strasse" regiert.

Man erinnere sich an die sozialen Kämpfe unter der Tatcher-Regierung in England, in denen den sozialen Bewegungen der Gar ausgemacht werden sollte und wurde.

Das ganze hier riecht verdammt nach einem entsprechenden Szenario.

In einem wirtschaftsliberalen Europa darf es so was einfach nicht geben,

"die Strasse" die den Regierenden dauernd in die Quere kommt, mit dem "NON" zur europäischen Konstitution, mit nicht endend wollenden sozialen Bewegungen und mit politischen Streiks.
Gewerkschaften und Studenten- Schülerorganisationen haben übereinstimmend erklärt dass es nichts zu verhandeln gibt so lange der CPE nicht vom Tisch ist.

Die Öffentlichkeit unterstützt mit über 65% die Proteste.

Neben den 67 Universitäten sind heute auch 313 Gymnasien blockiert und die äußerst phantasievollen und gutgelaunten Aktionen (siehe Photos) reissen nicht ab.
Die Gewerkschaft der Eisenbahner möchte trotz geplanten Streikaktionen für die grosse zentrale Demo in Paris den Teilnehmern aus dem ganzen Land kostenlose Sonderzüge zur Verfügung stellen.

Die Jugendlichen der Banlieus fangen an mitzumischen, sie geben den Protesten zunehmend eine entschlossenere Wendung.

Für sie ist die Prekarität schon längst Alltag und sie geben sich sicher nicht mit einer Verbesserung der Arbeitsvertragsverhältnisse zufrieden.

Falls es zu einer Einheit von Banlieus, Lohnabhängigen und Intellektuellen auf gesellschaftskritischer Grundlage kommen sollte, dann wird es erst richtig spannend.

Und falls sich dann noch die Erkenntnis Bahn brechen sollte, dass es im Kapitalismus einfach kein erträgliches oder gar schönes Leben für die Meisten auf dieser Welt geben kann +

auch für einen Intelektuellen es einfach eine erbärmliche Perspektive ist seinen Intellekt nicht anwenden zu dürfen, es sei denn es ist "rentabel", dann könnten sich tatsächlich erfreulichste Perspektiven auftun.
In der Tat bietet diese Auseinandersetzung eine seltene Gelegenheit über eine ganze Reihe von sozialen Fragen auf grundsätzlicheres Terrain vorzustossen. Aber so weit ist es noch nicht.

Die Medien haben diesen Braten auch schon gerochen und versuchen (wie üblich) die Randalierenden (Casseurs) von den Protestierenden und die Linksextremen und Anarchisten von den Besonnenen zu trennen.

Sarkozy (Napoleon 4.) hat öffentlichkeitswirksam seinen Flics befohlen, dass diese die Protestierenden vor den Casseurs "beschützen" sollen.

Allerdings liegt seit Samstagabend ein Postler von der Gewerkschaft SUD im lebensgefährlichen Koma, nachdem nach Augenzeugenberichten eine Horde von CRS barbarisch auf ihn eingetreten haben.
Ohne Anspruch auf tiefgehende (und notwendige) Analyse: In Frankreich wird gegenwärtig eine (letzte?) grosse Schlacht gegen den die Abschaffung der in Jahrzehnten erkämpften Rechte der Lohnabhängigen geschlagen.

Nicht mehr und nicht weniger als dies. Das hilft gewaltig in der Bildung eines Bewusstseins darüber dass die Prekarität dem Kapitalismus eigen ist.

Never forget though that the administration's partner in crime is the mainstream media- how else on earth could Americans sit and listen to the administrations bulls**t with a straight face.

The corporate media has abdicated it's essential role as fact checker and non-partisan check and balance on our government, regardless of which Party sits in the Oval Office.

Bush's ludicrous assertions are repeated, uncritically for the masses.
Considering that, it's really amazing that the vast majority of Americans have finally reached the conclusion, the mainstream media not withstanding, that this President is an incompetent, disingaged, arrogant boy king.

And that's what scares me.

If there's another major attack on the US, America is screwed too, because if you think civil liberties are being trashed now, you ain't seen nothing yet.
With each day that passes this administration is backed further into a corner.

And if they can sacrifice American servicemen for their political games, they are capable of absolutely anything.

PROTECTION RACKET
Instead of my usual warnings about a bogus left and phony right shilling at whorehouse D.C. for the usual corporate cartel mob - I'll step aside for the American military of this and other generations:
"WAR IS A RACKET. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN... A RACKET IS BEST DESCRIBED, I BELIEVE, AS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE. ONLY A SMALL 'INSIDE' GROUP KNOWS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. IT IS CONDUCTED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE VERY FEW, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VERY MANY. OUT OF WAR A FEW PEOPLE MAKE HUGE FORTUNES."
SMEDLEY DARLINGTON BUTLER (Major General - United States Marine Corps. Butler was awarded two Congressional Medals of Honor, for capture of Vera Cruz, Mexico, 1914 + for capture of Ft. Riviere, Haiti, 1917. He was also awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, 1919. Among other robber barons, JP Morgan approached S.D. Butler for the Rockefeller-Rothschild bloc in 1934. The plan was for Butler to lead a military overthrow of the U.S. government then headed by FDR. Butler refused the proposed role as front man for a transparent fascist cartel takeover of America. The coup plan was abandoned for another cartel variation. 1881-1940)
Our leaders' goals are not to the benefit of the majority who work themselves into poverty only to provide tax money that pays for their own shackles.
We deplete the strength and welfare of our own countrymen fighting as mercenaries for the elite rich who gain off exploiting government contracts and manipulating the oil market.
SOLDIER IN IRAQ (name withheld by request. Quote 2005)
This war is about money. Most people believe that dollars are being handed over to Iraq to rebuild their country on the backs of the American taxpayers and under the protection of US troops. However, the money never sees Iraq. It leaves your wallet and goes through the system in DC and ends up in a corporation with the sizeable government contract. Sure the product is a new road, a schoolhouse or AK-47s for the Iraqi National Guard, but the money is only making a rich man richer.
SOLDIER IN IRAQ (name withheld by request. Quote 2005)
The lifers hold on to the lies of the system because the truth would destroy the core of their beliefs. The fact that the stars and bars is only an illusion for the real power behind the throne could ruin their psyche and crash their egos. They will never let go of their pride and use it as an excuse to cover their fear.
A war backed by our nation's cowards. What else would a preemptive strike be good for. Americans get so afraid they will kill in cold blood and thump their chests to claim it for a good cause. I serve in shame.
SOLDIER IN IRAQ (name withheld by request. Quote 2005)

THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, excuse me. No President wants war. Everything you may have heard is that, but it's just simply not true. My attitude about the defense of this country changed on 11.Sep.2001 .

We - when we got attacked, I vowed then and there to use every asset at my disposal to protect the American people. Our foreign policy changed on that day, Helen.

You know, we used to think we were secure because of oceans and previous diplomacy. But we realized on September the 11th, 2001, that killers could destroy innocent life. And I'm never going to forget it.

And I'm never going to forget the vow I made to the American people that we will do everything in our power to protect our people.
Part of that meant to make sure that we didn't allow people to provide safe haven to an enemy. And that's why I went into Iraq -- hold on for a second --
Q They didn't do anything to you, or to our country.
THE PRESIDENT: Look -- excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al Qaeda. That's where al Qaeda trained --
Q I'm talking about Iraq --
THE PRESIDENT: Helen, excuse me. That's where - Afghanistan provided safe haven for al Qaeda. That's where they trained. That's where they plotted.

That's where they planned the attacks that killed thousands of innocent Americans.
I also saw a threat in Iraq. I was hoping to solve this problem diplomatically. That's why I went to the Security Council; that's why it was important to pass 1441, which was unanimously passed. And the world said, disarm, disclose, or face serious consequences --
Q -- go to war --
THE PRESIDENT: -- and therefore, we worked with the world, we worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And when he chose to deny inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did + the world is safer for it.
Q Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: You're welcome. (Laughter.) I didn't really regret it. I kind of semi-regretted it. (Laughter.)
Q -- have a debate.
THE PRESIDENT: That's right. Anyway, your performance at the Gridiron was just brilliant -- unlike Holland's, was a little weak, but -- (laughter.)
Sorry.

Exactly! Any person who would dare to point out to the President that Iraq had nothing to do with 11.Sep.2001 must be dealt with in the most harshest manner possible. No one should ever be allowed to interupt when the President is speaking. He speaks from his beliefs and any interuption with supposed facts and truth should be considered treason.

He is wise beyond all words + understanding.

He is the truth, the light + the way.

Peace be with him + also with him.

That sad habit continued through the 1970s and was stamped in pop culture by New Yorker gag cartoons, Woody Allen movies and the Bob Newhart show on television.

Charlie Sheen joins the rest of his great family and notably his father Martin Sheen, who has lambasted for opposing the Iraq war before it had begun yet has now been proven right in triplicate, in using his prominent public platform to stand for truth and justice and we applaud and salute his brave efforts, remembering Mark Twain's quote.

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated + scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
21.Mar.2006 Concerning how the Bush administration had finalized Afghanistan war plans two days before 11.Sep.2001 with the massing of 44,000 US troops and 18,000 British troops in Tajikistan + Uzbekistan + in addition the call for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor," as outlined in the PNAC documents, Sheen stated, "you don't really put those strategies together overnight do you for a major invasion? Those are really well calculated and really well planned."

"Coincidence? We think not," said Sheen and he called the PNAC quotes "emblematic of the arrogance of this administration."

We have not been able to confirm that a large commercial airliner hit the Pentagon because the government has seized and refused to release any footage that would show the impact.

By remaining at a location where it was publicly known the President would be before 11.Sep.2001, he was not only putting his own life in danger, but the lives of hundreds of schoolchildren. That is unless the government knew for sure what the targets were beforehand and that President Bush wasn't one of them.

"It seems to me that upon the revelation of that news that the secret service would grab the President as if he was on fire and remove him from that room," said Sheen.

The question of how Bush saw the first plane hit the north tower, when no live footage of that incident was carried, an assertion that Bush repeated twice, was also put under the spotlight.
21.Mar.2006 The highly suspicious collapse of building 7 and the twin towers has previously been put under the spotlight by physics Professor Steven Jones + Kevin Ryan of Underwriters Laboratories, the company that certified the steel components used in the construction of the World Trade Center towers.

"The term 'pull' is as common to the demolition world as 'action and 'cut' are to the movie world," said Sheen.

Sheen referenced firefighters in the buildings who were eyewitnesses to demolition style implosions and bombs.

"This is not you or I watching the videos and speculating on what we saw, these are gentlemen inside the buildings at the very point of collapse."

"If there's a problem with building 7 then there's a problem with the whole thing," said Sheen.

Bush's behavior on 11.Sep.2001
21.Mar.2006 Sheen said that most people's gut instinct, that the buildings had been deliberately imploded, was washed away by the incessant flood of the official version of events from day one.

Sheen questioned the plausibility of a fireballs traveling 110 feet down an elevator shaft and causing damage to the lobbies of the towers as seen in video footage, especially when contrasted with eyewitness accounts of bombs and explosions in the basement levels of the buildings.
21.Mar.2006 https://www.wnymedia.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1164

"It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."

Sheen described the climate of acceptance for serious discussion about 11.Sep.2001 as being far more fertile than it was a couple of years ago.

"It feels like from the people I talk to in and around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning."

Suspicious collapse of buildings

Sheen described his immediate skepticism regarding the official reason for the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on the day of 11.Sep.2001.
21.Mar.2006 Over the past two years, scores of highly regarded individuals have gone public to express their serious doubts about 11.Sep.2001. These include former presidential advisor and CIA analyst Ray McGovern, the father of Reaganomics and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, BYU physics Professor Steven Jones, former German defense minister Andreas von Buelow, former MI5 officer David Shayler, former Blair cabinet member Michael Meacher, former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds and many more.

Speaking to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network, the star of current hit comedy show Two and a Half Men and dozens of movies including Platoon and Young Guns, Sheen elaborated on why he had problems believing the government's version of events.

Sheen agreed that the biggest conspiracy theory was put out by the government itself and prefaced his argument by quoting Theodore Roosevelt in stating, "That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

"We're not the conspiracy theorists on this particular issue," said Sheen.

The authors explain that, in handling rumors, press reports and other inquires about the UFO phenomena, civilian and military officials used a variety of methods to maintain security of information and knowledge.

Many activities were “compartmented,” that is, knowledge about them was available only to a closed group who were cleared to know about that particular project, regardless of their overall security clearance.

Sometimes, disinformation was designed for public consumption. False information, or false information combined with some truthful information was planted. Or, information could be twisted in such a way as to create false impressions, according to the authors.

Professor Hugh Pennington, a microbiologist at Aberdeen University, said flu viruses were expert at evolving rapidly to exploit new opportunities.

He said it was possible that either of the two subtypes could gain the ability to jump from person to person.

Science may have under-estimated the ability of H5N1 to spread across large areas of the world in the way that it has already done, he said.

"But no need to panic. The virus is still a bird virus, it is not yet a human virus + it may never be a human virus.

"As long as we manage to keep it reasonably under control in the birds I think we can breathe relatively easily for at least a year or two."

Back in 2003 we only had one genetically distinct population of H5N1 with the potential to cause a human pandemic. Now we have two
Dr Rebecca Garten

Prior to 2005 every known human case of bird flu had been caused by a particular subtype of the H5N1 virus, which infected people in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

But the latest analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified a genetically distinct variant which appears to have emerged last year, infecting people in Indonesia.

Researcher Dr Rebecca Garten said: "As the virus continues its geographic expansion, it is also undergoing genetic diversity expansion

"Back in 2003 we only had one genetically distinct population of H5N1 with the potential to cause a human pandemic. Now we have two."

Pandemic concern

The H5N1 strain of bird flu has spread across Europe, Africa and parts of Asia and killed nearly 100 people worldwide and infected about 180 since it re-emerged in 2003.

The War on Everything hit a new low in Texas last weekend, when fanatic undercover cops invaded bars and clubs.

Their target: People having drinks.

The crime? Public drunkeness.

Fascist creeps from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission joined up with the police thugs from the town of Irving.

Together, they infiltrated popular drinking establishments on Friday night.

Once inside, they joined Irving residents at tables in the bars. And then the monsters pounced.

Bartenders were targeted for serving people drinks. Some patrons were literally forced to do "sobriety tests" inside the bars.

When the operation was finished, 30 people were jailed for doing nothing more than having drinks in a bar.

Jackbooted scumbag Sgt. Chris Hamilton justified his police-state mission by telling the local television news that bar patrons "end up killing themselves or someone else."

21.Mar.2006 Dead prez fantasy costs kid a computer

A freshman at Mars Hill College has had his computer seized by Secret Service agents after he posted ominous lyrics about President Bush on the dreaded MySpace.

Tim Willis, 18, is like a lot of college kids: he's got a MySpace page, loves punk rock and hates President Bush.

But he certainly never meant to join the ranks of those running afoul of the feds for fantasizing about a world without Bush.

“Even though I don’t like the president and I don’t like his policies … I don’t want to hurt anybody,” he said. “I’m very peaceable. I don’t desire any conflict or anything.”

In a perfect dovetailing of his three passions he reworked the lyrics to the Misfit's punk classic "Bullet." The 1978 hit tells the tale of the JFK assassination. But in Willis' new version it's is Bush's "bullet-ridden body in the street."

07.Mar.2006 the S.S. stormed into his dorm + seized his computer.

They have since admitted that the words pose no immediate threat to the president, but continue to hold onto it.

They're carefully searching Willis' computer for anything illegal, while causing Willis as much inconvenience as possible.

Adding to the tragedy is the fact that Willis was ratted out by one of his fellow MySpacers who dropped a dime, calling the S.S. office in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"You needed people in Washington to help you out?" Defense Counsel Edward MacMahon asked the agent.

"They didn't do that, did they?"

Samit answered: "No."

The agent said that when Moussaoui was arrested, he seemed to be in a hurry to finish his 747 flight training on a simulator in Minnesota.

"You wanted the people in Washington to know that because you were concerned that was going to try to hijack a plane right?" MacMahon asked Samit.

In the mid 1990's, Dr. Stuart Hameroff at the University of Arizona + Oxford's Sir Roger Penrose proposed that quantum processes might be involved in the emergence of human consciousness. Penrose is well known for his work in mathematics and the physics of black holes. The idea of creating a synthesis of quantum teleportation and brain function quickly followed as a theory of telepathy. In the Penrose-Hameroff theory, the shape of switch-like structures in the brain are controlled by the location of single electrons, the quantum of electric charge + these structures resemble quantum computing circuits.

Seth Lloyd's theory of quantum gravity is based on quantum computing circuits. In other words, Lloyd believes that spacetime is fundamentally a computational quantum process.

The rich list: Labour names 12 behind secret loans
21.Mar.2006 https://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article352175.ece

Our story showed that the technology, far from being new, had in fact first been used in Newry, Co Down, in 1992 to murder a policewoman and maim her male colleague.

Kevin Fulton, a former soldier who infiltrated the IRA on behalf of the security services, made an astonishing claim: that he had flown to New York, met FBI and MI5 agents and was given money to buy an infra-red device to be used to set off IRA bombs.

The security services - already successful in preventing radio-signal bombs - believed that by supplying the equipment they could then introduce counter-measures.

"They knew the IRA was looking at the technology. By supplying the equipment, they thought they could stay one step ahead of the IRA," Mr Fulton told the IoS yesterday.

Following our article in October, an investigative journalist from the American magazine Atlantic delved deeper. And in an article to be published next week, Matthew Teague claims FBI sources have confirmed Mr Fulton's trip to the United States.

21.Mar.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/}ENDGAME: Concentration camps in America I urge you to read this article by Professor Peter Dale Scott. Pursuant to a plan ominously called ENDGAME, Homeland Security has quadrupled spending on "detention beds" -- read: concentration camps -- for illegal immigrants and "potential terrorists." That means you and me, folks: It is relevant that in 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for U.S. citizens deemed to be "enemy combatants." On Feb. 17 of this year, in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being done to the country's security, not just by the enemy, but also by what he called "news informers" who needed to be combated in "a contest of wills." Two days earlier, citing speeches critical of Bush by Al Gore, John Kerry + Howard Dean, conservative columnist Ben Shapiro called for "legislation to prosecute such sedition." The Immigration and Customs Enforcement website discusses ENDGAME purely in terms of illegal immigration; not a word about rounding up liberals. Interestingly, Oliver North has contributed to a new book called "Endgame," in which he blames all of America's ills, including terrorism, on Democrats. Peter Dale Scott argues that the ENDGAME plan derives from North's own notorious REX 84, drawn up during the Reagan administration, pursuant to which protestors of a Central American war would have found themselves in camps. If memory serves, a Miami Herald story published in 1987 revealed that North drew up these plans at a secret meeting open only to officers wearing a small red cross, used as a recognition sign. (Quite a few web sites reference this article, although I'm relying on unreliable memory for the "cross" detail. Perhaps a reader has a copy of the piece...?)

21.Mar.2006 Dark Pearl -By John S. Hatch
It’s quite normal for a son to want to follow in his Daddy’s career footsteps and to dream of exceeding the accomplishments of the old geezer. But what if you’re Genghis Jr., or Attila Jr., or George II? That can complicate matters a little. How to outdo Daddy’s deeds  when he was so devilishly good at what he did? How many people can a Vlad Jr. impale? You almost have to have a plan. In modern times you need a PNAC. Continued

Today George said that the temptation to abandon "our" commitments is strong. Did he have a mouse in his pocket? I never made a commitment to preemptive war. I didn't authorize Congress to abrogate their responsibilities to declare war. I didn't give the orders to invade a country that was absolutely no threat to the USA. I also didn't give the orders to use depleted uranium and wmd in Iraq. I wasn't the one who devoted myself to torture and imprisoning people without due process.  Continued

Alles ganz schrecklich? Kein Ausweg in Sicht? Die dunkle Seite der Macht können wir nicht besiegen? Mag sein. Aber Michel Foucault behauptet: "Wo Macht ist, ist auch Widerstand." Und in der Tat: Es gibt zahlreiche Beispiele für Gegenstrategien, für Versuche, die neuen Überwachungstechnologien mit der notwendigen Technikkompetenz subversiv zu unterlaufen. Beispielsweise hat der Wiener Verein quintessenz "zur Wiederherstellung der Bürgerrechte im Informationszeitalter" eine umfangreiche Mailingliste des US-Geheimdienstes National Security Agency (NSA) einem Data Mining unterzogen und die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse online gestellt (https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/57056). Auf dem diesjährigen Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin gab es eine gut besuchte Veranstaltung zur Bedrohung von Privacy + Bürgerrechten durch den fortschreitenden Einsatz von Überwachungs- und Sicherheitstechnologien.

22.Feb.2006 lief zum gleichen Thema eine Sendung auf Chaosradio (hier die Aufzeichnung: https://www.chaosradio.de/archive/chaosradio_110.mp3 ).
Neben den genannten Beispielen gibt es zahlreiche weitere Initiativen gegen die Kontrollgesellschaft (BigBrotherAwards, StopRFID, etc. etc.). Dabei erfordert die permanent fortschreitende Technik einen sehr flexiblen Widerstand, bietet gleichzeitig aber auch immer wieder neue Ansatzpunkte zur Sabotage. Viele Menschen, auch innerhalb der Linken, sind sich der Konsequenzen der neuen Überwachungstechnologien nicht bewusst. Was auch kein Wunder ist, denn sie sind in ihrer Gänze noch gar nicht absehbar. Umso wichtiger ist es, die Entwicklungen in diesen Bereichen aufmerksam zu verfolgen und auch den eigenen Umgang mit Kommunikationstechnologien (Internet, E-Mail, Telekommunikation, etc.) immer wieder kritisch zu überprüfen.

Riya befindet sich zurzeit noch in der Beta-Phase, also noch im Testbetrieb, aber die MacherInnen von Riya haben eine "Vision":
"Riya is more than photo search. Our goal is to help you find every photo of yourself on the web. We want to help you recover every moment, every place you?ve been and all of the people you?ve met along the way. We want to give you the tools to discover your future, every place you want to go and meet new friends. We will be successful when we can find every digital photo in the world." (https://riya.com/vision)
Eine Vision, die sicherlich auch bei Polizei und Nachrichtendiensten auf große Begeisterung stößt.
Die ziemlich naheliegende Frage, wo denn in dieser Vision der Datenschutz (Privacy) bleibt, taucht bei Riya zwar auch auf, wird aber bisher äußerst unbekümmert und naiv behandelt. Munjal Shah, Geschäftsführer und Mitbegründer von Riya, offenbart in einem Blogeintrag vom 7.12.2005, dass sie das Thema Privacy bei Riya bisher eher vernachlässigt haben. Dieser Eindruck verstärkt sich, wenn man liest, was Tara Hunt, die "Online Marketing Managerin" von Riya, in ihrem Blog zum gleichen Thema schreibt:
"Hmmmm....how do I start about privacy? I'm the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to living a private life. I'm so *blah* to the world that sometimes I even scare myself. Hello human! So, when people approach me about privacy concerns, I can't relate. Or maybe I can empathize, but I feel like part of being 'out there' protects me more than being really private... (...)I think of it like this...as more and more people go online and expose various intimate details of their lives, the targets increase. All of a sudden there is all this information available for so many people that, if you are a spy or a stalker or a government organization looking to watch for dissidents, it becomes unmanageable. Isn't there a war strategy like this? Or Chaos Theory? Or whatever." (https://www.horsepigcow.com/2005/11/ahprivacy.html)Das ist dann doch extrem kurz gedacht, denn nicht erst seit gestern wird an Verfahren gearbeitet, aus großen Mengen von Daten systematisch Informationen zu extrahieren (Stichwort "Data Mining" - Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining). Das Unangenehme an Riya ist, dass ich mich der Überwachung durch dieses System nicht dadurch entziehen kann, dass ich mich entscheide, es nicht zu benutzen. Denn irgendjemand anders könnte ja ein Bild von mir hochladen. Letztendlich wird es wieder auf die altbekannte Floskel hinauslaufen: Wer nichts zu verbergen hat, habe auch nichts zu befürchten. Es bleibt abzuwarten, inwieweit Riya Verbreitung finden wird und welche wirklichen Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben werden.
20.Mar.2006 New U.S. passports are being issued with RFID chips.

Privacy experts have previously warned that terrorists and identity thieves could steal the tiny signal coming from the chip and manufacture a perfect fake passport.

But the idea of a virus spreading from infected passports to the entire U.S. immigration and customs network would bring international travel to an absolute standstill.
20.Mar.2006 Does Fluffy have a computer virus?

RFID chips are tucked inside passports, stuff you buy at Wal-Mart and even pets.

The "radio frequency identification tags" store small amounts of data that can supposedly only be read by special scanners.

If you lose your chipped dog, for example, animal shelters and vets can retrieve the pet's home address and contact information from the implanted RFID chip.

Despite privacy activists' howls of protest, the RFID industry has long promised the little chips are harmless and that they hold too little information to be used in a nefarious way.

Now researchers have revealed that the chips can be used in a truly evil way: spreading computer viruses.

GovTech magazine gave a grim example of the havoc infected RFID chips could wreak:

"If someone intentionally attaches an infected RFID tag to a case, the entire system could be thrown into disarray," the magazine reported on Friday.

Toll Collect im Internet? AOL (America Online) und Yahoo wollen eine Steuer auf e-mails erheben um Spam zu bekämpfen, die Ankündigung Anfang Februar sorgte bereits für massive Unruhe. Ende Februar haben nun NGOs, Gewerkschaften und andere Organisationen wie die Electronic Frontier Foundation einen offenen Brief an AOL gegen die Gebühr geschrieben. Die Mautgebühr soll einen Viertel Cent pro versendeter Mail betragen. Die Summe wäre für einzelne mails gering, will ein Spammer einige Millionen Mails über die Postfächer der Welt verteilen, summieren sich die Viertelcents schnell zu einer erklecklichen Summe, welche das bisher lukrative Geschäft ruinieren soll. Bezahlte Emails würden dagegen an den Spamfiltern vorbeigeleitet.
