25.Aug.2006 Affordable housing remains sparse in New Orleans. - Dan - Nearly a year after Hurricane Katrina, a new report from demographer Greg Rigamer finds that “average rents have risen about 40 % + the average selling price of homes in areas not affected by flooding rose about 25 %.” 25.Aug.2006 To mark the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the White House is planning a “public relations blitz” to counteract criticism that it bears some responsibility for “the government’s tardy response and the region’s slow recovery.” It started when the President met with a Katrina victim (later exposed as a right-wing political activist) who said, “I just wish the President could have another term in office.” ThinkProgress is counteracting the spin with hard facts. We’ve created a Katrina timeline that documents all the key events over the last year — from the hurricane’s landing to today. Check it out HERE.
25.Aug.2006 Rep. Shays (R-CT): To Succeed In Iraq, We Need A Timetable For Withdrawal - Judd - Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) is the latest member of Congress to advocate a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq. Shays has visited Iraq 14 times. This morning on Fox, he said that the way for the USA to succeed in Iraq is to “incentivize the Iraqis” to take control of their own country. The way to do that, according to Shays, is to let them know “there is a limit to our presence there.” Shays noted that previous timelines — to hold elections and create a constitution — are what has spurred the greatest progress in Iraq. Watch it: Digg It! Transcript: BRIAN KILMEADE: Our next guest was once an intense supporter of the war in Iraq. Now he says we should set a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops. How about next year? GRETCHEN CARLSON: Congressman Chris Shays is in London with us, He’s wrapping up a Congressional delegation trip that including trips to Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Darfur and Rome. Good to see you Congressman. You’re calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq right now which is against what you used to say, which is that you were in full support of the war. Reelection coming up for you. REP. CHRIS SHAYS: I am in full support. CARLSON: Is this because it’s become increasingly more apparent according to some that it may be difficult to win elections now with current status on Iraq? SHAYS: First off, i’m getting an echo, if you could turn off the echo. The bottom line to this is I want us to succeed in iraq. I’m a strong supporter of the war and the question is how do we do that? I’ve been there 14 times + what i’m seeing since January of this year is I’m not seeing the political will on the part of the Iraqis. They spent four to five months to get a government. You have a new government that’s been in office about three months + yet they haven’t set time lines on when they’re going to have provisional elections; they haven’t set time lines on when they’re going to have reconciliation; they haven’t set time lines on constitution. My judgment based on my last two visits is they’re happy to stretch this out forever + in my judgment, we need to incentives the Iraqis. They need to know, there is a limit to our presence there. KILMEADE: You think that they would want us there one day longer than we have to be? SHAYS: Oh, absolutely. I think this new government is very happy to have their office. I think they feel it’s difficult for Sunnis + Shias to negotiate. They want it done in the Middle East way, which is taking a long time. They were very critical of the deadlines we set for them, but think of what was accomplished, from 00.Jun.2004 a new government set up, then they elected — had a constitutional election for people to create a constitution 00.Jan.2005 they created a constitution, ratified that constitution by 00.Oct.2005 then they created a new elected government by the end of that year — in 11 months and they don’t want to go on that kind of timetable, but they he need to. The bottom line from what I’m seeing is we’ve seen really no progress since January because they’re willing to just keep stretching it out.
25.Aug.2006 August 25, 2006 - Think Progress - “After three years of excuses-delays,” the Food and Drug Administration has approved over-the-counter access to the Plan B emergency contraception, but has limited access to women ages 18 + older. France has announced plans to commit 2,000 troops to a new international peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon. France helped initiate the Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire and initially faced criticism when President Jacques Chirac said he would send just 200 troops. “The government awarded 70 % of its contracts for Hurricane Katrina work without full competition, wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in the process,” according to a new report from the House Committee on Government Reform’s minority office. Approximately 60 % of New Orleans businesses have still not reopened since Hurricane Katrina hit, according to a recent study by Louisiana State University. California continues to lead on global warming. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) announced she will introduce legislation to cut carbon dioxide emissions to 70 % below those of 1990, with the goal of keeping global temperature increases to only 1 or 2 degrees. “Colorado is joining a growing number of states and cities that have taken it upon themselves to fight global warming locally ,” kicking off efforts to develop a statewide plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “ Arab and Muslim men saw their wages and weekly earnings drop by 10 % after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.” The largest decreases “occurred in locations that reported higher rates of ethnic and religious-based hate crimes.” Federal investigators are looking into changes BP made to a 2002 report on its pipeline management after complaining the report was “unduly negative.” In one instance, a critical remark about BP’s corrosion-monitoring program was altered to “BP has demonstrated a clear commitment to corrosion control.” And finally: Public corruption – blame it on the rain? A new study from economists at the West Virginia University finds “indirectly at least, the answer may be yes.” “States that experience more frequent + severe natural disasters attract larger quantities of FEMA disaster relief,” the authors concluded. “This relief creates a resource windfall that increases public corruption.”

25.Aug.2006 White House Falsely Claims New Stem Cell Study ‘Has Not Been Reviewed By Scientists and Bio-Ethicists Yet’ - Judd - Today, a new study was published that shows embryonic stem cells lines can be created without the destruction of human embryos. Previously, the White House has said they oppose the creation of new stem cell lines because it involved the destruction of embryos. In today’s New York Times, White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore said “Any use of human embryos for research purposes raises serious ethical questions. This technique does not resolve those concerns.” This afternoon, the White House changed their story. Here’s Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino: QUESTION: Any decision to perhaps revisit the President’s position on federal funding for stem cell research, in light of this new development that was published yesterday in the journal Nature? PERINO: … This study today reported in Nature Magazine has not been reviewed by scientists and bio-ethicists yet, but it is one that the President believes deserves a good look. He is encouraged that there are scientists who are continuing to look for innovative ways to do stem cell research that would not involve the destruction of embryos. And so he is going to listen to folks after they have a chance to review the study, but it does hold some promise that they would be able to do that type of research without destruction of a human embryo. This is false. ThinkProgress spoke with bioethicist Ronald Green, who is an ethics advisor to Robert Lanza, an author of the study. Green said that in order to be published in Nature, the paper went through a rigourous peer review process, which lasted nearly three months. The study was also reviewed by bioethicts. It was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Advisory Board of Advanced Cell Technology. Also an independent review board was constituted to scrutinize the study, as required by Massachusetts law.

25.Aug.2006 Yes To India, No To Iran: Bush Administration Sends Contradictory Message On Nuclear Programs - Faiz - Iran and India are making nearly identical arguments to justify pushing ahead with their respective nuclear programs. Reuters, 8/19/06: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insists that nuclear power is Iran’s right and “no one will stop us” developing the country. … “ They are trying to deny our right to develop nuclear power. But no one can impose anything on the Iranian people. ” … “Our main task is to develop and build the Iranian nation. No one will stop us.” Iran has insisted it is enriching uranium to generate electricity from nuclear power. AP, 8/23/06: India’s prime minister said Wednesday the country would retain its right to carry out future nuclear tests despite a civilian nuclear deal with the USA, a news report said. “ There is no scope for capping of our strategic (nuclear) program. It will be decided by the people, government + Parliament of the country + not by any outside power ,” Press Trust of India quoted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as saying in a statement in Parliament. While Iran’s refusal to guarantee that it will not proceed with a nuclear weapons program has elicited calls from Bush for tough sanctions against that country, India’s refusal to make a similar guarantee has not elicited a response from the administration. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for the destruction of Israel, is undoubtedly a greater immediate security threat to the world than the Indian government. But the U.S.’s contradictory message undermines the argument against the Iranian threat. 00.000.1995, President Bill Clinton heralded the extension of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, stating: The nuclear danger has not ended. The capability to build nuclear weapons cannot be unlearned, nor will evil ambition disappear. But the overwhelming consensus in favor of the treaty and its future attests to a deep and abiding international commitment to confront the nuclear danger by rejecting nuclear proliferation. This decision says to our children and all who follow: The community of nations will remain steadfast in opposing the dangerous spread of nuclear weapons. Clinton had a policy based on a clear principle: preventing the dangerous spread of nuclear weapons. The Bush administration’s principle has been to dismantle the NPT + pick + choose states to provide nuclear arms. That policy only makes dangerous states — Iran and North Korea — more determined to get the bomb. UPDATE: Several commentators wrote in to say that Ahmadinejad’s quote does not actually translate into wiping Israel off the map. Juan Cole wrote, “This idiom does not exist in Persian + that what Ahmadinejad actually said was, ‘This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time.’”

Schwere Drohungen gegen San José de Apartadó -von kanalB - 11:07 San José de Apartadó ist eine Friedensgemeinde im Norwesten Kolumbiens, in der Region Urabá. Sie hat sich 1997 als im Krieg neutral erklärt und verlangt von allen bewaffneten Akteuren als Zivilbevölkerung respektiert zu werden.
Seit ihrer Gründung sind 165 Mitglider der Friedensgemeinde ermordet worden. Die Mörder sind und waren zumeist vom Militärs und Paramilitärs, die gemeinsam auftreten. Sie ermorden und vertreiben die Bauern unter dem Vorwand, die Guerilla zu bekämpfen. Tatsächtlich geht es darum, sich das Land anzueignen, um möglichst viel Gewinn daraus zu schlagen. In der Region sollen große ökonomische Projekte durchgeführt werden (panamerikanische Eisenbahn, Wasserkraftwerde, Kohle- und Goldabbau, Bananenplantagen).
In ganz Kolumbien gibt es derzeit bereits 3 Millionen Inlandsflüchtlinge, mindestens 4 Millionen Hektar Land sind ihren Besitzern gewaltsam weggenommen worden. Die Paramilitärs werden derzeit in großem Stil amnestiert.
Gestern verschickte die Friedensgemeinde einen Hilferuf, in dem sie von neuen Drohungen berichtet. Der Wortlaut: Eine neue Massaker-Drohung

25.Aug.2006 https://www.lonestaricon.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=426&z=40 The Iconoclast attempted to establish a dialogue with Colonel Green and Major Escobar, but calls were not returned as of press time. SFC Buswell declined to comment on the investigation, but noted that he spoke with his parents about the matter for a period of two days before he was ordered to not disclose any further information. "My son spoke with me about [the investigation]," said Winthrop Buswell, SFC Buswell’s father. "There was an unsolicited email. My son, without divulging anything, without usurping anything, without doing anything to discredit anyone in any way, simply responded to that saying ‘Yes, there are what if’s. And maybe there is something that is being covered up.’ That’s all that I know. He responded to it, but it was unsolicited. I think – of course, I’m dad, being very much in love with his son and wanting to praise him – because he is a low man on the totem pole, of course he’s of pretty high rank but not quite an officer, that maybe … Maybe an investigation might be the scapegoat for whomever." "That is so ridiculous," said Winthrop Buswell. "[To say he is disloyal to the USA] is totally ridiculous. And the discourtesy was, ah, very apparent at that particular time. … I’ve always thought the American way is this: to disagree is important. To dissent is important. And my son simply said, without any fanfare, ‘Look, let’s take a look at the whole picture. If you want to take a look at that, maybe there are a few paragraphs that a Michael Moore might want to emphasize.’ That is all that my son has said. Never, however, to at all disparage the country and the patriotism that is so necessary for all of us. But, patriotism, as suggested by FOX News’ [Bill O’Reilly], is following the line of George W. Bush and cohorts completely! All my son is saying is, ‘Hey, maybe there’s a what if.’ Never, though, did he get sidetracked from the fact that [he loves his] country." "What disturbed him more than anything else, I think, was the fact that the Iraqi citizens suffered so much and are suffering so much now," said Winthrop Buswell. "The time that he was injured, there were several Iraqis burning to death in front of him. He tried to put out the fire. It was a traumatic experience for him. … He spoke about that a number of times + how terrible that was to see the citizenry being killed and suffering so much." "One of his heroes is Abraham Lincoln," Winthrop Buswell continued. "And Abraham Lincoln said many things, but one of the things he said - and I’m paraphrasing - was, ‘I may disagree with the fellow who’s speaking, but I will stand and defend his right to speak.’ That’s my son’s position. He does look at the what if’s. But that doesn’t take away from his dedication and his patriotism. I don’t know a fellow who gets more chills running up and down his spine when he sees the flag flying." "As a boy, [Donald was] always a very curious fellow," he added. "Very daring, but never risking anything or stepping over the line. He loved motorcycles, but was always very cautious about it, always wearing proper clothing, always wearing a helmet. Also, he was very active in little model racing cars. He was in Cub Scouts. I remember walking to the gymnasium with him and having wonderful conversations with him years ago. His mother and I went through a divorce + that is never easy for anyone. My son was also very close to his grandfather on his mother’s side + also his grandfather and grandmother on my side. Donald loves railroading + my father has the best job that anyone could ever have. He’s a locomotive engineer + my son related to that. My son also has a strong belief in a power greater than ourselves." "But one of the things that stands out … is his love and his caring," said Winthrop, choking back tears. "He loves children. He’s just the greatest guy, as far as I am concerned. He walks into a room with a big smile on his face. … He’s like my dad – he makes you feel like, you know … I … I care for you. Ah, he’s … He’s my son …" The Iconoclast will continue reporting on this story as new details become available.

Hizbollah has made it clear that it has no intention of disarming under the UN Security Council's 1701 ceasefire resolution and yesterday afternoon, Major-General Alain Pellegrini, the commander of the UN Interim Force in southern Lebanon - which the Americans and British are relying upon to seize the guerrilla army's weapons - personally confirmed to me at his headquarters in Naqoura that "the Israelis can't ask us to disarm Hizbollah".

For one thing, it will be neither secular nor friendly to the USA. For another, it is going to be a rough birth. Continue 25.Aug.2006 On the US-Israeli Invasion of Lebanon -By Noam Chomsky

25.Aug.2006 http: Is someone murdering people who know too much about NSA wiretapping?
Two whistleblowers -- one in Italy, one in Greece -- uncovered a secret bugging system installed in cell phones around the world. Both met with untimely ends. The resultant scandals have received little press in the USA, despite the profound implications for American critics of the Bush administration.
Last month, Italian telecommunications security expert Adamo Bove either lept or was pushed from a freeway overpass; he left no note and had no history of depression. 00.Mar.2005 -Last year- Greek telecommunications expert Costas Tsalikidis met with a similarly enigmatic end. Both had uncovered American attempts to eavesdrop on government officials, anti-war activists + private businessmen.
The Bove case relates to the long-standing controversy over the CIA's kidnapping of cleric Abu Omar, who was flown to Egypt and tortured. The post-Berlusconi government of Italy is attempting to arrest + try all of CIA personnel involved. Bove used mobile phone records to trace more than two dozen American agents.
Bove had also revealed that his employer, Telecom Italia, had allowed illegal "spyware" -- undetectable wiretaps -- to infest Italy's largest communications system. His testimony helped to uncover the unsettling relationship between SISMI chief Marco Mancini and Telecom Italia head Giuliano Tavaroli. (Mancini, recently arrested by Italian investigators, has also come under some suspicion for his possible role in the strange affair of Major General Nicola Calipari, killed by American troops in Itaq.) In the 1990s, Bove had received wide praise for helping to secure convictions of two bosses in the Camorra, Naples' answer to the Sicilian Mafia.
The case of Costas Tsalikidis -- an engineer for Vodaphone, Greece's top telecommunications firm -- offers a similar picture. Tsalikidis discovered an extraordinarily spohisticated piece of spyware within his company's network. The Prime Minister and other top officials were targeted, along with Greek military officers, anti-war activists, various business figures -- and a cell phone within the American embassy itself. This page gives a full list of the targets, very few of whom could be considered as having even a remote connection to terrorism.
As investigative journalists Paolo Pontoniere and Jeffrey Klein report: The Vodaphone eavesdropping was transmitted in real time via four antennae located near the U.S. embassy in Athens, according to an 11-month Greek government investigation. Some of these transmissions were sent to a phone in Laurel, Md., near America's National Security Agency.
According to Ta Nea, a Greek newspaper, Vodafone's CEO privately told the Greek government that the bugging culprits were "U.S. agents." Because Greece's prime minister feared domestic protests and a diplomatic war with the USA, he ordered the Vodafone CEO to withhold this conclusion from his own authorities investigating the case. The CEO of Vodaphone in Greece, George Koronias, has -- like Giuliano Tavaroli, his Italian counterpart -- come under the suspicion of having a hidden relationship with American and British intelligence. At least three Vodafone comunications hubs (one expert says the number could be as high as 22) were compromised by the eavesdropping technology. Koronias had reported only two of these bugs + had failed to alert a watchdog agency of the discovery of further listening devices.
Vodafone is a British company, comparable to Sprint in the USA. Testifying before a Greek parliamentary committee, Koronias insisted that no-one in the U.K. could have had any connection to the ultra-sophisticated spyware. 'Only Ericsson's staff could have set up such a device,' he said. Ericsson furiously countered that Vodafone not only knew about the illegal software but had activated it at the request of British intelligence agents. More on Ericsson's official response: Ericsson, the company that produces the software used by Vodafone, issued an announcement clarifying that two types of software were employed for tapping the phone conversations.
The first one employed legally had been developed by Ericsson and had been installed in Vodafone, yet it was not activated. The second software, which was of unknown origins, namely it had not been developed by Ericsson, had been illegally installed in Vodafone’s system to activate the legal software and erase the traces of the phone-tapping. This is, by any measure, a troubling admission -- especially since Ericsson manufactures many mobile phones used in the USA. Vodaphone insists they were never informed of this "feature" in Ericsson phones, although Ericsson executive Bill Zikou has testified that the company disclosed the truth via its sales force and instruction manuals.
American security expert John Brady Kiesling reveals some surprising details about the eavesdropping malware embedded in Ericsson equipment:
(To read the rest, click "Permalink" below)
Built into the Ericsson (Sweden) software that runs the Vodafone (UK-owned) mobile telephony network switching system in Greece + similar GSM service providers around the world, is a little-known "Legal Interception" software package designed to be used by law enforcement authorities. This software allows incoming and outgoing conversations from allegedly up to 5000-6000 mobile phone numbers to be recorded, on presentation of a valid judicial warrant. [A friend in telecoms claims governments require that telephone companies give law enforcement authorities the capability to monitor up to 5% of active calls as one precondition for an operating license]. However, to unlock and use the eavesdropping package, the company must pay Ericsson a hefty fee (allegedly four million euros). The Greek government allegedly refused to pay this fee, despite its desire for wiretapping capability during the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics. One reason was that a clear legal basis for such eavesdropping was not yet in place..
Apparently someone persuaded a Vodafone or Ericsson employee with access to the switching network to install a software parasite in at least four and possibly more of the 22 call management centers that Vodafone operates in Greece. The family of Costas Tsalikidis, the whistleblower who was found hanged in his apartment, does not accept the verdict of suicide. Neither does his fiancée. The Greek press has hinted at further skullduggery:
The prosecutor also visited the lawyer of Tsalikidis’ family, Themistoklis Sofos, who announced that his clients will be filing a lawsuit against unknown parties for embezzlement and falsification of documents pertaining to the deceased’s emails. In addition, they will subpoena all those who participated in the much-publicised meeting just before the revelation of the wiretappings; a meeting Vodafone denies ever having taken place. Perhaps most disturbing of all, Vodaphone had eliminated the spyware from its system before Greek intelligence could conduct an examination. Greek spy chief Ioannis Korantis testified that this move amounted to destruction of evidence.
00.000.1999, the Village Voice published a piece alleging a connection between American intelligence and Ericsson -- which, it seems, supplied telecom technology to Iraq. According to the Voice, the American agency in question was not NSA or CIA or DIA, as you might surmise, but a little-known group called SCS -- Special Collection Services. According to two sources familiar with intelligence activity in Iraq, the U.S. may have been aided by information delivered either to UNSCOM or SCS from Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunications firm... More: Regarding any possible collaboration in Iraq with SCS or UNSCOM, Kathy Egan, Ericsson spokesperson, said she had no information on such an operation, but if there was one, "It would be classified and we would not be able to talk about it." Are Ericsson cell phones the only ones with the built-in spy technology? We can't be sure. But one thing is certain: When the fellow on TV asks "Can you hear me now?", the person he's addressing may not be the only one who can say yes . Permalink

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen seien jedoch möglich, da sich die Methoden in den vergangenen Jahren durch Ötzi, die Gletschermumie aus Südtirol, verbessert hätten. Archäologen hatten die Entdeckung der Altai-Mumie bereits mit der des legendären Ötzi (1991) sowie mit der tätowierten sibirischen Eisprinzessin von 1993 verglichen. Der Fundort liegt in einer unzugänglichen Gebirgsregion des Altai in 2600 Metern Höhe im Dreiländereck Mongolei, China und Russland. Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, der Mongolei und Russland waren 00.Jul.2006 -Ende- im Permafrostboden auf das intakte Grab mit der Mumie des skythischen Kriegers gestoßen.

Der Leichnam könnte enthüllen, wie Menschen vor 2500 Jahren lebten und unter welchen Krankheiten sie litten. "Die Mumie ist für die Wissenschaft ungeheuer wertvoll", sagte der Präsident des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts (DAI), Hermann Parzinger, am heutigen Donnerstag in Berlin. Die kürzlich in der Mongolei entdeckte Mumie sei ein "einzigartiger Fund" und könne der Forschung neue Erkenntnisse über Ernährung und Krankheiten der Vergangenheit liefern.

24.Aug.2006 Judicial Watch Smears Judge Who Ruled Warrantless Wiretapping Is Illegal, Media Takes The Bait - Think Progress - Last week, Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled that President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program was unconstitutional. Subsquently, Taylor was attacked by the conservative group Judicial Watch which claimed that she had a “conflict of interest” because she “serves as a Secretary and Trustee for a foundation that donated funds to the ACLU of Michigan, a plaintiff in the case.” Judicial Watch’s allegation has garnered extensive media coverage. It’s a bogus charge. Here are the facts: – Over the last two years the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan has donated about $50 million to charitable causes. Its $45,000 in grants to the ACLU represents just .09% of their total giving. – The money to the ACLU had nothing to do with their activities relating to this litigation or government surveillance. The grant funded “a gay rights project.” – Judge Gibbs is one of 50 community members on the foundation’s board. It wasn’t a personal decision by Judge Gibbs. None of this information was disclosed by Judicial Watch. Once you know the facts, there is not a “reasonable question about [her] impartiality” based on the foundation’s activities. That hasn’t stopped the media (or the blogosphere) from breathlessly reporting the “story.”
24.Aug.2006 August 24, 2006 - Think Progress - A House Intelligence Committee report warned that the U.S. is facing “significant gaps” in its intelligence on Iran that could be as serious as the shortcomings in its prewar knowledge about Iraq, leaving Washington ill-prepared to assess Tehran’s military capabilities. “American intelligence agencies do not know nearly enough about Iran’s nuclear weapons program” to help policymakers at a critical time, the report said. There is “little doubt that Iran has been the chief beneficiary of the war on terror in the Middle East,” according to a new report from a British think tank. “Three disgruntled state affiliates have severed ties with the Christian Coalition of America ,” leaving it with just “a half-dozen strong state chapters and a weak presence in Washington.” The organization was formed 00.000.1989 by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson and was formerly run by Ralph Reed. $50 million: the cost accrued by a recent Medicare error. “About 230,000 Medicare recipients were mistakenly sent refunds last week averaging about $215 for monthly premiums they paid this year for drug coverage.” In Concord, NH, the House Judiciary Committee will hold its 18th in a series of 21 immigration field hearings today, attempting to convince the public of an enforcement-only approach. “It’s a taxpayer-funded road show,” said Rep. Marty Meehan (D-MA) of the hearings. So far, the road show appears to have been successful. The Washington Times reports Bush has failed to win his base’s support for his plan. “Grave sexual violence against girls and women in Darfur continues to worsen,” warned U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. A new U.N. report concludes that 00.May 2006-00.Jul.2006 “thousands of children were still actively involved in conflict despite the signing of the 5 May Darfur Peace Agreement + earlier ceasefire deals.” Things could be worse. “For three years, the president tried to reassure Americans that more progress was being made in Iraq than they realized. But with Iraq either in civil war or on the brink of it, Bush dropped the unseen-progress argument in favor of the contention that things could be even worse.” Thousands of unexploded cluster bombs from Israeli artillery guns are turning up all over Lebanon, injuring innocent children. “They look like fat torch batteries. So they seem innocuous especially to the curious mind of a child,” said the U.N. Mine Action Service’s Chris Clark. “We find that children unwittingly pick them up and then sadly suffer injuries from them.” And finally: Not all U.S. lawmakers are able to maintain two households with their $165,200 annual salary. Instead of renting an apartment in Wasington, Rep. Jim Marshall (D-GA) sleeps on an air mattress in his office. “I see three or four of my colleagues bunking together in a two-bedroom apartment,” said Marshall. “I’ll go for my office any day over that.”

Die Ziele von STOP1984 Was wir mit dieser Web-Seite zu allererst erreichen wollen, lässt sich mit einem Begriff klären:
Bewusstsein. Wir möchten bei den Menschen Bewusstsein wecken für den Wert ihrer eigenen Privatsphäre den Wert ihrer eigenen Daten die Gefahren des Missbrauches von Daten die Folgen des Verlustes der Privatsphäre die politischen, sozialen und persönlichen Folgen einer zunehmenden Überwachung die Gefahren des politischen Desinteresses Während unsere politischen Ziele darin bestehen, dass die TKÜV in ihrer jetzigen Form zurückgenommen wird auch bisher nicht veröffentlichte Zahlen über die Erfolge und Misserfolge von Überwachung publiziert werden Datenschutz und das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung ihren Weg in das Grundgesetz und das EU-Recht finden ist uns bewusst, dass diese politischen Ziele nur durch interessierte und engagierte Menschen zu erreichen sind - ohne dass ein Bewusstsein für diese Dinge geweckt wird, ohne dass nicht gegen die Politikverdrossenheit und Lethargie vieler Menschen mit Aufklärung und Engagement entgegen getreten wird, ist die Erreichbarkeit dieser politischen Ziele eine pure Vision ohne jegliche Möglichkeit der Verwirklichung. Daher ist das Ziel dieser Seite, mit Aufklärung und Engagement Interesse und Bewusstsein zu fördern, durch Diskussionen im Forum zum Nachdenken anzuregen und somit die Basis für den "letzten Ausweg vor der Totalüberwachung" zu schaffen.

24.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/erde/0,1518,druck-433254,00.html Vulkanausbrüche transportierten Gase wie Kohlendioxid an die Erdoberfläche und ließen eine erste Gashülle entstehen, die überwiegend aus Wasserdampf und Kohlendioxid bestand. Sauerstoffgas kam erst mit dem Beginn des Lebens in die Atmosphäre: Bakterienähnliche Lebensformen begannen mit der Fotosynthese und verwandelten Kohlendioxid in Kohlenstoff und Sauerstoff, der sich daraufhin in der Atmosphäre anreicherte. Dieser Wandel begann nach der bisher gängigen Ansicht vor etwa 2,4 Milliarden Jahren. Zwar hatte es nach den Ergebnissen früherer Studien bereits vor mehr als 3,5 Milliarden Jahren Leben auf der Erde gegeben, doch verband sich der von Mikroben erzeugte Sauerstoff zunächst mit Stoffen, die im Ozean gelöst vorkamen. So gelangte kein Sauerstoff aus dem Wasser heraus. Die Theorie von der über Jahrmilliarden sauerstofflosen Atmosphäre stellen die neuen Messungen von Ohmoto und ihren Kollegen nun in Frage. Womöglich müsse die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Erdatmosphäre umgeschrieben werden, denn die Daten hätten ergeben, dass bereits vor etwa drei Milliarden Jahren in der Atmosphäre Sauerstoff existierte.

Neue Messungen haben jedoch ergeben, dass Sauerstoff bereits vor über drei Milliarden Jahren in höheren Konzentrationen vorgekommen ist. Das zumindest mutmaßen Wissenschaftler um Hiroshi Ohmoto von der Penn State University in der Wissenschaftszeitschrift "Nature". Bisher gingen Experten davon aus, dass der Sauerstoffgehalt erst vor 2,4 Milliarden Jahren nennenswert anzusteigen begann und somit nachweisbar war. Am Anfang ihrer Entwicklung hatte die Erde nur eine sehr dünne Atmosphäre, denn sie war noch zu heiß, als dass sie größere Mengen Gase hätte halten können. Vor etwa vier Milliarden Jahren war die Erde jedoch weit genug abgekühlt, um eine Atmosphäre an sich binden zu können. Entwicklung der Erdatmosphäre in Frage gestellt

24.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-432615,00.html Wie schlimm es schlimmstenfalls läuft, wenn staatliche und private Partner sich zu einer obskuren Allianz verbünden, dokumentierte im Januar der Bundesgerichtshof. Er hatte sich mit Podelwitz bei Leipzig zu befassen, einer "Kleinstgemeinde", wie die Richter schrieben - mit einem riesengroßen Neubau. Für rund 600 Einwohner und genau vier Bedienstete hat sich Podelwitz von einem privaten Investor ein neues Gemeinde- und Verwaltungszentrum bauen lassen. Die Gemeinde verpflichtete sich, 22 Jahre lang über 14 000 Euro monatlich an den Investor zu zahlen, plus Umsatzsteuer und Nebenkosten. Jeder einzelne der über tausend Quadratmeter kostete damit zweieinhalb mal so viel wie in der Umgebung. Dabei war unklar, ob die Gemeinde überhaupt noch ein Verwaltungsgebäude brauchte. Denn eine kommunale Gebietsreform stand kurz bevor.
24.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-432615,00.html "Nachweisbar unwirtschaftlich" - zu diesem Ergebnis kam etwa der bremische Rechnungshof, als er den Deal um das sogenannte Siemens-Hochhaus untersuchte. Bremen hatte das Gebäude, in dem die Baubehörde untergebracht ist, im Jahr 2000 an einen Investor verkauft und anschließend für 30 Jahre zurückgemietet. Das Land hätte die Immobilie besser selbst behalten, meinen die Rechnungsprüfer und schätzen den Schaden auf rund 20 Millionen Euro. "Mit einer vorab erstellten ernsthaften Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchung hätte anders entschieden werden müssen", tadelt der Rechnungshof-Präsident Lothar Spielhoff. Als die Präsidenten aller deutschen Rechnungshöfe zu ihrer letzten Jahrestagung zusammenkamen, zeigten sie sich ausgesprochen skeptisch gegenüber den Partnerschaften. Deutschlands oberste Rechnungsprüfer hielten es für nötig, "eine sorgfältige und realistische Bewertung von Chancen und Risiken" zu fordern - eigentlich eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Doch gingen sie offenbar nicht davon aus, dass die Verwaltungen solche Mindestanforderungen immer einhalten.

Trotzdem ist das Prinzip PPP deshalb nicht gleich ein "großangelegtes Komplott der deutschen und europäischen Bau- und Immobilienindustrie sowie großer Banken und Kapitalgesellschaften", wie die Frankfurter Attac-Gruppe behauptet. Und East Riding ist noch kein "Protektorat" Bertelsmanns, wie die linke Zeitung "Junge Welt" schreibt. Aber selbst ein Bundesverfassungsrichter hat Bedenken. "Ich würde mir bei Politikern mehr Skepsis wünschen", sagt Siegfried Broß. Der Staat stelle sich selbst in Frage, wenn immer mehr Aufgaben an Private vergeben würden. Schon sind Firmen in Bereiche vorgestoßen, die lange allein dem Staat zugerechnet wurden. Im hessischen Hünfeld wurde vor wenigen Monaten das erste PPP-Gefängnis Deutschlands eröffnet. Eine Expertengruppe des hessischen Justizministeriums hatte eine vollständige Privatisierung für unzulässig gehalten, "da der Strafvollzug zum Kernbereich staatlicher Aufgabenwahrnehmung gehört". Doch einzelne Tätigkeiten "ohne Eingriffsbefugnisse gegenüber Gefangenen" dürften übertragen werden. Weitere Bundesländer planen bereits ebenfalls PPP-Knäste.

Bundeswirtschaftsminister Michael Glos (CSU) geht davon aus, dass "wir erst am Anfang der Entwicklung stehen". Auch der EU-Kommissar für Binnenmarkt und Dienstleistungen, Charlie McCreevy, setzt auf die Partnerschaften: "Bei Investitionen in die Infrastruktur und die öffentlichen Dienstleistungen sind wir dringend auf PPP angewiesen." In der Wirtschaft herrscht Goldgräberstimmung. "Ein Erfolgsmodell vor dem Durchbruch" nannte der Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie (BDI) jüngst eine Tagung zum Thema. Schon jetzt stecken in Deutschland mehrere Milliarden Euro in solchen Kooperationen. Allein die Projekte der Kommunen sind drei Milliarden Euro schwer, schätzt das Deutsche Institut für Urbanistik. Zu den vielen hundert Partnerschaften in Deutschland zählen der Wiederaufbau des Berliner Stadtschlosses, dessen Kosten auf mindestens 670 Millionen Euro geschätzt werden; der milliardenteure Ausbau der A 8 zwischen Augsburg und München sowie weiterer Autobahnabschnitte; die 90 Schulen des Landkreises Offenbach, deren Betrieb zwei Firmen übernommen haben; das neue Krebszentrum an der Uni-Klinik Essen, dessen Kosten von rund 120 Millionen Euro zwei Banken aufbringen. Auch wenn die Bürger bald schon PPP-Rathäuser aufsuchen (etwa in Gladbeck) oder bereits jetzt durch PPP-Tunnel fahren (etwa in Lübeck) - die meisten kennen das Kürzel nicht. Das Ergebnis einer Forsa-Umfrage für ein jüngst erschienenes Buch zum Thema: Nur jeder vierte Deutsche kann mit dem Begriff etwas anfangen*.
24.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-432615,00.html Denn im vergangenen Jahr hat Pearsons Rat einen Beschluss gefällt, der für deutsche Maßstäbe revolutionär ist: Zentrale Teile der öffentlichen Verwaltung hat inzwischen die Bertelsmann-Tochterfirma Arvato übernommen. Das Unternehmen betreibt nun beispielsweise die Bürgerbüros in East Riding, kassiert die Steuern ein, zahlt das Wohngeld an Bedürftige aus. Offen verkündet das Unternehmen, East Riding mit seinen rund 320.000 Einwohnern solle nur der Anfang sein - man habe mit dem Pilotprojekt "Zentraleuropa und vor allem Deutschland im Visier". Denn die Manager wollen auch hierzulande von einem Geschäft profitieren, in dem schon jetzt Milliarden stecken. Das Prinzip nennen Fachleute Public Private Partnership (PPP): Öffentliche Institutionen gehen Bündnisse mit privaten Firmen ein, die dann bislang staatliche Aufgaben übernehmen. Bund, Länder und Gemeinden nutzen diese Partnerschaften etwa, um Schulen oder Straßen zu bauen. Von der Zusammenarbeit versprechen sich die Verwaltungen frisches Kapital und Know-how. Doch die bisherigen Erfahrungen sind teilweise ernüchternd. Etliche Projekte stellten sich bereits als Flops heraus - PPP wie Pleiten, Pech und Pannen. Die Präsidenten der Rechnungshöfe warnen zudem davor, dass solche Partnerschaften "mittel- und langfristig ein gefährlicher Weg" in die Überschuldung sein können. Andere Kritiker fürchten gar einen Ausverkauf des Staats: Schleichend übernähmen Konzerne die Macht. Die Bundesregierung freilich treibt die Entwicklung voran. Im schwarz-roten Koalitionsvertrag wird "die Beseitigung der Diskriminierung von Public Private Partnerships" versprochen, im Juni 2005 verabschiedete noch Rot-Grün das PPP-"Beschleunigungsgesetz", voraussichtlich noch in diesem Jahr kommt das PPP-"Vereinfachungsgesetz" in den Bundestag.

Von Markus Verbeet Immer häufiger erledigen Unternehmen öffentliche Aufgaben, in England hat der Bertelsmann-Konzern erstmals die Verwaltung eines ganzen Bezirks übernommen.

Computers are now invading the bathroom. For several years, manufacturers have been quietly pushing toilets and toilet seats costing $1,000 or more that use small, built-in computers and remote controls to add new features that warm, wash and dry you. As bathrooms become more upscale and luxurious, a digital toilet fits right in."

These can be mounted on a chip + in combination with lasers, arrays of such mirrors on a chip can be made into a video projector. From the article: ''"It would be an incredibly cheap display," [Cornell grad student Shahyaan] Desai said. And the entire device would be small enough to build into a cell phone to project an image on a wall."' This display is made possible because of the innovative use of carbon fiber instead of silicon in MEMS. Unlike a standard DMD, this type of device would have one mirror per scanline, not one mirror per pixel, allowing the chip to be much smaller."

Watch it: <script type="text/javascript"> var so3159 = new SWFObject('//08/hardball.320.240.flv&autoStart=false', 'em-so3159', '320', '260', '6', '#ffffff'); so3159.addParam('quality', 'high'); so3159.addParam('wmode', 'transparent'); so3159.write('so3159'); Matthews didn’t mention that a bi-partisan group of national security experts believe there are no good military options in Iran. Transcript: MATTHEWS: Maybe this is moot. But you know I keep hearing from people on the right — Robert Kagen and Bill Kristol, the guys who are the most hawkish and the most articulate in making their case and they may be right — that at the end of this administration, this hawkish administration — that was willing to go into Iraq and Afghanistan — if this president is not willing to knock out those facilities no future president is likely to do it. We’ll be stuck with a nuclear armed Iran which can rant and rave around that region, threatening Israel, Saudi and everybody else. And we’ll be stuck with it. So their argument is try the diplomatic route, try everything but in the end we have to hit ‘em.

24.Aug.2006 Iraq War Debilitating U.S. Marine Corps - Guest - The President has called up 2,500 inactive Marine reservists for involuntary duty to make up for manpower shortages. Even though many Marines have already served three tours in Iraq, the Marine Corps came up 1,200 volunteers short of its requirements. Defense commentator Fred Kagan from the conservative American Enterprise Institute put it bluntly: It is one of an avalanche of symptoms that the ground forces are overstretched by operations in Iraq and Afghanistan . … This administration needs to understand this is not a short-term problem + it really needs a systemic fix in the size of the ground forces. But the Marines are not just short manpower. A report released today by the Center for American Progress shows that the war in Iraq is increasingly taking its toll on the equipment of the Marine Corps. Vehicles like the Humvee and M1A1 tanks built to last for 15 years or more are wearing out in less than five. The cost to replace and repair the equipment damaged and destroyed is enormous – more than $5 billion a year. To make up for the equipment shortfalls, the Marines have been taking equipment from units outside of Iraq and from their strategic reserves. Unable to train with the equipment that they will be using in combat, the readiness of Marine Corps units outside of Iraq are suffering.

24.Aug.2006 Pat Buchanan’s Anti-Hispanic Rhetoric Echoes Earlier Anti-Immigrant Hysteria - Amanda - In his new book and in numerous media appearances, Pat Buchanan has been trying to make the case that Mexican immigrants are fundamentally unlike past immigrant groups. Buchanan, who is of Irish ancestry, argues that Germans, Irish, Italians, etc were different because they were willing and able to assimilate. Last night on Hannity and Colmes he stated, “[T]he guys I went to school with in the ’50s and ’60s and the ’40s, they were the sons of immigrants. They’d all been completely assimilated, Americanized. We were marinated in the same culture.” But Buchanan’s statements against Hispanic immigrants mirror the charges that German, Irish, Italian, Jews + other immigrant groups also faced. Some examples: Immigrants will not be able to assimilate : Where the Italians wanted to be part of our family, millions of Mexicans are determined to retain their language and loyalty to Mexico . They prefer to remain outsiders. They do not wish to assimilate and the nation no longer demands that they do so. [Buchanan, p. 28, 2006] VERSUS Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them + will never adopt our Languages or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion. [Benjamin Franklin, 1751] Immigrants are responsible for crime : Many Hispanics, as a matter of fact, you know what culture they are assimilating to? — the rap culture, the crime culture, anti-cops, all the rest of it. [Buchanan, 8/22/06] VERSUS “The Irish fill our prisons, our poor houses. … Scratch a convict or a pauper + the chances are that you tickle the skin of an Irish Catholic. Putting them on a boat and sending them home would end crime in this country .” [Chicago Post, 1868] Immigrants plan to commit treason against America : Mexican-Americans can now become citizens of Mexico again. The whole idea is to create this giant fifth column in the USA which can leverage the American government in elections and pressure them to do what is in the interest of the nation of Mexico . [Buchanan, 8/22/06] VERSUS [A] set of citizens, German and Irish, wanted to get the Constitution of the U. S. into their own hands and sell it to a foreign power . [Theme of an American Nativist Party rally, 1844] Immigrants come from inferior cultures : [A]lmost all immigrants today, legal and illegal, come from countries and cultures whose peoples have never before been assimilated into a First World nation . [Buchanan, p. 221, 2006] VERSUS Today, instead of a nation descended from generations of freemen bred to a knowledge of principles and practice of self government, of liberty under the law, we have a heterogeneous population, no small proportion of which is sprung from races that throughout the centuries have known no liberty at all… In other words our capacity to maintain our cherished institutions stands diluted by a stream of alien blood, with all of its misconceptions respecting the relationships of the governing power to the governed. [Rep. Albert Johnson, 1927, justifying the 1924 National Origins Act] Immigrants will dilute the white race : If we do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and built. No nation has ever undergone so radical a demographic transformation and survived. [Buchanan, p. 11, 2006] VERSUS The number of purely white People in the World is proportionally very small …in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are Germans also, the Saxons only accepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. [Benjamin Franklin, 1751]

24.Aug.2006 FACT CHECK: Ned Lamont Does Not Support ‘Immediate Withdrawal’ From Iraq - Think Progress - People have the right to disagree about what should be done in Iraq. This is part of a healthy political debate. What isn’t healthy is distorting someone’s position to score political points. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) + others are appearing on national TV and claiming — explcitly and implicitly — that Ned Lamont supports “immediate withdrawal” from Iraq. Watch some examples: <script type="text/javascript"> var so56371 = new SWFObject('//08/lamont.320.240.flv&autoStart=false', 'em-so56371', '320', '260', '6', '#ffffff'); so56371.addParam('quality', 'high'); so56371.addParam('wmode', 'transparent'); so56371.write('so56371'); These claims are false. Ned Lamont does not support immediate withdrawal. He has explicitly said that he would have supported the amendment proposed by Sens. John Kerry (D-MA) and Russ Feingold (D-WI), which called for a phased withdrawal over the course of the next year. A majority of Americans do not support immediate withdrawal of all troops. But Lamont’s actual position — setting a timetable for withdrawal — is supported by nearly 60 % of the American public. Digg It!

24.Aug.2006 Buchanan: Hispanic Immigrants Not Assimilating Into America Because They Embrace ‘Rap Culture’ - Judd - The media is lavishing attention on Pat Buchanan and his new book that argues that whites are the only race with the “genetic endowments” to prevent America from collapsing. Yesterday on Hannity and Colmes, Pat Buchanan asserted that Hispanic immigrants were “not assimilated into America” because they were adopting “rap culture.” Watch it: <script type="text/javascript"> var so62231 = new SWFObject('//08/buchananrap.320.240.flv&autoStart=false', 'em-so62231', '320', '260', '6', '#ffffff'); so62231.addParam('quality', 'high'); so62231.addParam('wmode', 'transparent'); so62231.write('so62231'); Rap music, according to the U.S. State Department, is “an original American art form.” It has its roots, however, in African-American culture, not white culture. For Buchanan, apparently, that means it’s un-American. Digg It! Transcript: BECKEL: Pat, you say in the Hispanic culture in the Southwest — it is a culture that will take over the Southwest and essentially make the Southwest of the USA part of America but not really part of America. Let me ask you this — the Irish and Italian came to New York and brought their culture here. Eastern Europeans went to the north-northwest part of the Midwest, the Germans and Scottish went to the Appalachians and brought their culture with them. What’s different? BUCHANAN: One thing that’s different in the year 2050 there will be 102 million people of Hispanic descent, primarily Mexican, wholly concentrated in the American Southwest. That’s one thing. The second thing is Mexicans, unlike Irish or German folks, never claimed America as their country. They owned it. 58% of Mexicans believe the southwest belongs to them. The third thing is, they were assimilated. There powerful assimilation movement in this country that does not exist right now and in so the point of the thing is, they are not assimilated into America. Many Hispanics, as a matter of fact, you know what culture they are assimilating to? — the rap culture, the crime culture, anti-cops, all the rest of it.

24.Aug.2006 911 Stealth Rejecting Terrorism & The Terrorizers By A Restrainer -Update:
16.Aug.2006 : NYC to release 911 calls from September 11
The fact of multiple explosions can also be found at The Memory Hole, rescuing knowledge... freeing information: https://www.thememoryhole.com/911
9/11 Transcripts and Police Reports
TMH Exclusive: Withheld by the authorities, released because of a lawsuit + insanely expensive to purchase, these are the 9/11 documents that the Port Authority fought to keep under wraps.
All Available NY Fire Department Dispatch Tapes From 9/11 https://www.thememoryhole.com/911/fdny_dispatches.htm
TMH Exclusive: The Fire Department of New York's radio dispatches from the morning and early afternoon of 9/11. For over three years, they fought in court to keep these recordings secret but were finally forced to release them in August 2005. It took a bitterly fought lawsuit brought by the New York Times to get the Fire Department of New York to release some of its dispatch tapes from 9/11. The NYT requested the tapes in early 2002, got denied + went to court. When the FDNY lost the fight three and a half years later, on 12 August 2005 it made available 23 CDs, almost all containing audio of radio dispatches, plus transcripts of oral histories and some other text. The contents of all 21 audio CDs are available online for free. Disc 23 contains PDF files of 503 oral histories. The New York Times has posted all of them here. Disc 21 contains a Port Authority Radio Repeater Transcript ( pdf transcript of the audio file on disc 22) and an EMS CAD Logbook.
Zest magazine from August 6 2006 presents the cover story of the new movie World Trade Center, directed by Oliver Stone and with actors Nicolas Cage (representing Josh McLoughlin), Michael Peña (representing William Jimeno), Maria Bello (Donna McLoughlin, Josh's wife), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Allison Jimeno, Will's wife). Zest declares that the movie had " a large (thought undisclosed budget ", p. 11) and that " the studio reportedly met with members of Congress and White House staff members to assure them that their tale of heroism pushes no political agenda " (p. 12). However, the 911 event was a completely political event. The extreme use of 911 by Bush and collaborators to support things like the middle east wars (Iraq, Afghanistan) and the implementing of the antipatriotic act called ironically " Patriot Act " one and two ("trading freedom for security "), together with " Homeland Security " plus an increasing vigilance and distrust everywhere...
Contradicting the fiction, you can see for example the next figure: https://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/rubblefires.html
From the WTC Ground Zero Location Peak Temperatures given in Fahrenheit and Celsius, respectively): A 1341 or 727, F 1377 or 747. Fires continued to burn far down in the rubble piles for over 100 days after the attack, despite the spraying of water on the rubble for extended periods . One source of data is a thermal map of Ground Zero created from infrared data collected by a NASA plane that overflew the site on September 16. FEMA 's Report contained an appendix disclosing evidence of mysterious high temperature corrosion of steel due to a combination of oxidation and sulfidation (Dr. Jones found Thermate on iron samples from the 9/11 WTC crime scene. Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse? by Steven E. Jones. Department of Physics and Astronomy. Brigham Young University, Utah. Steven E. Jones in the news and in a Conference).
Now that Bush and collaborators are pushing an emotional " propaganda " movie, it is vital for the Truth to preserve every bit of original footage uploadable and downloadable from the Internet (like original Neswcasts and Documentary DVDs). We deeply reject the muslim terrorists as well as those leaders that keep terrorizing their populations for their own political gain (war business and collaterals (oil, opium, contracts...) & the road to tyranny in a police state), with the continuous menace of a self-inflicted damage & an increasing fear.
We are Christians and believe that The Restrainer (Christ in Us, the holy spirit of God within us) in A Restrainer is going to reduce to a minimun the expansion of The Lie and will be blocking the full attempts of antichrists and of the Final Antichrist until the very same moment in which we are taken out by Christ Jesus himself in the first part of his Second Coming. So we offer ourselves to the service of our Lord, Savior and Master Jesus Christ.
The next evidence is only the tip of the iceberg of what seems to be a wide mass-control strategy that seems to have produced, to date: great fear, hatred, media lies, basic information suppressed, the wrongful planning of wars and other nightmares, thousands of deaths at home and abroad (officially sponsored); and worst of all, the gradual loss of the God given freedom of the U.S.A. citizens (through the PNAC + its Anti - Patriot Act plus the CIA 's et al sponsored home-spying).
To see that 911 was a Military Black Operation against America planned, organized and shepherded by the likes of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Rove some images speak more than thowsand words:

24.Aug.2006 Debunking the Debunkers of the Debunkers of the Official Collapse Story By Spooked Regarding this page: https://www.debunking911.com/collapse.htm
About the "hanging floor slab" shown in the picture at the top--
1) what is the evidence that this is actually a floor slab as opposed to some pipes that fell from the ceiling?
2) how exactly does a stiff concrete floor slab bow and bend and sag in the middle from heat?
I don't think concrete can BEND, so that explanation of the floor sagging is simply crap.
Then they write about NIST:
They look at the evidence and create a hypothesis, test the hypothesis against the evidence and if new information comes out they change the hypothesis accordingly. You would think if the NIST was going to lie they would just build the lie around the first hypothesis. That they changed it only shows independence. Um, couldn't the explanation also be that their first hypothesis was a total joke and was laughed at by so-called conspiracy theorists? Does any one think that people who bought and steadfastly supported the official story worried about the NIST model? It was the conspiracy theorists and real scientists who made them change their model.
Ironically, Professor Jones has changed his paper yet the conspiracy theorist [sic] don't cast doubt on whether his paper is correct. That is simply not true, plenty of conspiracy theorists have problems with Jones' theories, particularly the thermite theory.
Proof of the pancaking effect is the core columns which can be seen collapsing seconds after the perimeter columns hit the ground. The few core columns that survive then miraculously turn to dust at the end of the WTC1 collapse is hardly proof of pancaking + actually suggests some strange unofficial event occurred.
If the building didn't pancake what happened to the trusses? Assuming they didn't just fly away it's obvious they fell straight down. This is a total non-sequitor that proves nothing.
More evidence of pancaking is on ground zero. [a picture of a debris pile is shown] A pile of debris is NOT proof of pancaking. A huge pile of debris could also occur from demolition, obviously.
Jeez. This is like shooting fish in a barrel.
2. Fire insulation was stripped during aircraft impact by flying debris (without that, the towers would likely have survived). What is the hard evidence that insulation was stripped off by plane debris? There is none! It's a completely ad hoc argument. Yet their whole collapse theory rests on it! In all honesty, what is a more unsupported theory: that the towers were brought down by demolition or that fires brought down the buildings because the insulation was "stripped" off the columns?
For a detailed account of the collapse, do yourself a favor and READ ALL the NIST FINAL reports. Any conspiracy site which gives you the old preliminary reports are being dishonest. There is incredible detailed which support each of the reports below. I've looked over those reports. There are LOTS + LOTS of pretty pictures + models-- but VERY LITTLE hard data or calculations or analysis. I guess it makes people who want to believe the official story feel good, like NIST did some work. But in temrs of science, the NIST reports are sorely lacking.
The worse part is NIST does not even bother to model how the buildings completely collapsed! Nor do they explain the near free-fall collapse times.
Now it is possible that the towers had a very severe flaw in their construction (that is still unknown) that made them completely disintegrate at near free-fall speed. But why isn't there more urgency to figure out the flaw?
Of course the most likely explanation is that the towers were demolished by pre-planted explosives. Demolition is the only theory that easily explains the features of the collapses.

From the article: "Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras on Monday also called on lawmakers to be cautious about passing a Net neutrality law, which could prohibit broadband providers such as AT&T Inc. and Comcast Corp. from giving their own Internet content top priority, or from charging Web sites additional fees for faster service. [...] 'While I am sounding cautionary notes about new legislation, let me make clear that if broadband providers engage in anticompetitive conduct, we will not hesitate to act using our existing authority,' she said. 'But I have to say, thus far, proponents of Net neutrality regulation have not come to us to explain where the market is failing or what anticompetitive conduct we should challenge.'"
