The United States on that day took over the Hawaiian Islands. The picture shows the Hawaiian flag asit fluttered to the steps,” according to a 1926 publication, Under Hawaiian Skies, by Albert P. Taylor. When the new organig laws took effect in 1900, Hawaii became the Territory of Hawaii until August 21, 1959, Statehood Admission Day, the 50-star American Flag was hoisted over Iolani Palace. DOW Wants To Spray Fluoride On Food DOW Chemical has been lobbying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow it to spray a new fluoride-based pesticide (sulfuryl fluoride) on hundreds of foods prepared in the US. If DOW gets its way, sulfuryl fluoride will become a major new source of fluoride, making it even more difficult for consumers to avoid fluoride in their daily lives. What's worse, the levels of fluoride allowed to be sprayed on food will be shockingly high: 70 ppm for processed foods, 130 ppm for wheat products, and 900 ppm for dried eggs! To voice your concerns about the use of sulfuryl fluoride on food, please take a few seconds to sign the personalizable ONLINE LETTER to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, produced by Fluoride Action Network (FAN) at: If you wish to submit letters on your own, you can find instructions at the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) link: http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations.org THE EPA PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ENDS ON AUGUST 4th. Thanks for your help with this important issue!! SAMPLE LETTER Dear EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson: I am deeply concerned about a new fluoride-based pesticide (sulfuryl fluoride) that EPA is allowing to be sprayed on all processed foods and a broad assortment of raw food. While EPA’s decision may benefit the bottom line of Dow AgroSciences, it does not protect the public health, or the public interest. The public expects EPA to employ the best science available in its approval of pesticides. However, it is apparent that this did not happen with sulfuryl fl uoride. Indeed, the National Academy of Sciences recently concluded that the safety standard used by EPA to approve sulfuryl fluoride is, in fact, not safe at all. Moreover, as the NAS report makes clear, and as is evident by the growing number of children with dental fluorosis, many Americans are being OVER-exposed to fluoride. There is no safety margin for additional fluoride exposures that will result from sulfuryl fluoride. I am particularly concerned for susceptible subsets of consumers, including children, people with kidney disease, people with excess thirst (e.g. diabetics, athletes, and laborers) and people with nutrient deficiencies. Finally, as Director of EPA, I would like you to investigate why EPA increased the allowable dosage for infan ts and children not once, but twice, during its approval process for sulfuryl fluoride. In direct violation of the Food Quality Protection Act, these manipulations have left our children ten times less protected than adults. For these, and the many other reasons detailed in the petition to EPA, I urge you to revoke all food-based uses of sulfuryl fluoride. Please add my comments to the docket #: EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0174 and EPA-HQOPP-2003-0373. What Happened on 9-11-01? On September 11, 2001, we Americans were the victims of TREASON.

Man Unlawfully Arrested by Police July 25, 2006 PHILADELPHIA -- Neftaly Cruz said police had no right to come onto their property and arrest the 21-year-old simply because he was using his cell phone's camera."I was humiliated and terrorized. I was embarrassed, you know," Cruz said. Cruz told the NBC 10 Investigators that police said they arrested him last Wednesday for taking a picture of police activity next door with his cell phone where police were arresting a suspected drug dealer. Cruz said that when he heard a commotion, he walked out of his back door with his cell phone to see what was happening. He said that when he saw the street lined with police cars, he decided to take a picture of the scene. "I opened (the phone) and took a shot," Cruz said. Moments later, Cruz said he got the shock of his life when an officer came to his back yard gate. "He opened the gate and took me by my right arm and threw him onto a police car, cuffed him and took him to jail. A neighbor said she witnessed the incident and could not believe what she saw. "He opened up the gate and Neffy was coming down and he went up to Neffy, pulled him down, had Neffy on the car and was telling him, 'You should have just went in the house and minded your own business instead of trying to take pictures off your picture phone,'" said Gerrell Martin. Cruz said police told him that he broke a new law that prohibits people from taking pictures of police with cell phones. "They threatened to charge me with conspiracy, impeding an investigation, obstruction of an investigation. ∑ They said, 'You were impeding this investigation.' (I asked,) "By doing what?' (The officer said,) 'By taking a picture of the police officers with a camera phone,'" Cruz said. Cruz's parents, who got him out of jail, said police told them the same thing. "He said he was taking pictures with his cell phone and that was obstructing an investigation," said Aracelis Cruz, Neftaly Cruz's mother. ACLU said that "There is no law that prevents people from taking pictures of what anybody can see on the street," said Larry Frankel of the American Civil Liberties Union. "I think it's rather scary that in this country you could actually be taken down to police headquarters for taking a picture on your cell phone of activities that are clearly visible on the street." Frankel said Cruz's civil rights might have been violated. "He was unlawfully seized, which is a violation of the 4th amendment," Frankel said. Police told Hairston that they did take Cruz into to custody, but they said Cruz was not on his property when they arrested him. Police also denied that they told Cruze he was breaking the law with his cell phone. Cruz's family said they have filed a formal complaint with the police department's Internal Affairs division and are requesting a complete investigation. [EDITOR’s note: Cops are now paramilitary, outlaws. WHY do you think that our Forefathers were so worried about having soldiers among the PEOPLE that they wrote it into the 3rd Amendment? 75 Cops Failed Drug Tests in Boston Cocaine use most prevalent, raising concern By Suzanne Smalley, Globe Staff | July 30, 2006 Since Boston police started annual drug testing, 75 officers have failed the tests, and 26 of them flunked a second test and were fired. There are 2,000 officers in the BPF. Acting Police Commissioner Albert Goslin said an additional 20 of the officers who tested positive left the department on their own, he said because they could not handle the frequent follow-up checks. If they test positive for any drug, officers receive a 45-day unpaid suspension and must get treatment. Once they return to duty, they are subject to random testing for three years, in addition to regular testing. Of the 75 officers, 61 tested positive for cocaine, 14 for marijuana, two for ecstasy, and one for heroin, according to the figures, obtained by the Globe through a public records request. (Some officers had more than one drug in their system). Some specialists and department observers said they were alarmed by the number of officers testing positive for a ``hard" drug such as cocaine and questioned the department's policy that allows an officer to remain on the force after a positive drug test. An officer is not fired until a second positive test. ``It seems like it's a chronic problem," said Darnell A. Williams, president and CEO of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. ``Here we're trying to deal with the guns and the drugs on the street level, but we have a more strident problem inside the department when we have that many people testing positive for drugs, especially cocaine." The department's drug testing policy is already under scrutiny, after reports that the alleged ringleader in a corruption case tested positive for cocaine in 1999, yet kept his job under the rules that call only for suspensions and treatment even for positive tests for drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Unlike Boston, the New York and Los Angeles police departments dismiss officers after a first positive drug test. The annual testing began in 1999 after years of negotiating with the city's powerful police unions, which had objected to the tests. In exchange for salary and benefit increases, the unions agreed to a system that gives officers warning by scheduling tests within 30 days of their birthday. The city's hair-testing method has also been disputed. ``Anybody who fails a drug test when they know a year advance within 30 days of when it's going to be . . . is a person who I consider to be an addict," he said.

The paddlers kneel or lie on surfboards and use their bare hands to paddle the entire distance. Some compete standing on their boards for the distance and propelling themselves with a long paddle. (photo by Quiksilveredition/Carol Cunningham) Zane Holmes gave fellow Australian Jamie Mitchell some stiff competition on their way to finish line in Hawaii Kai. Two hours into the race they were neck and neck, but then Mitchell pulled away to win 17 minutes ahead of Holmes. This is Mitchell's fifth consecutive win. (photo by Quiksilveredition/Carol Cunningham) World Ironman Champion Zane Holmes Places 2nd, California's Gary Fortune 3rd If Australia's Jamie Mitchell had anything left to prove to the international paddling world, he proved it today by winning his fifth consecutive Quiksilveredition Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Race, overcoming grueling open-ocean conditions that spanned the 32 miles of the infamous Molokai Channel. While tough conditions left all records untouched today, the fact that 29-year-old Mitchell succeeded in warding off 129 other paddlers with adverse winds, waves and tides showed he is without question the master of this sport. Mitchell's winning time was 5 hours, 19 minutes and 26 second - 23 minutes. Starting out at 7:30 a.m. from Kaluakoi, Molokai, Mitchell and Holmes set a cracking pace and remained neck and neck for the first 10 miles of the course. Minimal wind and waves made for a level playing field at the start with little opportunity for anyone to gain an edge. But as the wind kicked in to chop up a five-foot swell mid-channel, and as an outgoing tide ripped through the course, Mitchell's technical prowess saw him inch his way well clear of the record field of 128 paddlers. Runner-up was highly touted World Ironman Champion Zane Holmes, 25, also from Queensland, Australia - 5:36:38. It was his first time paddling this course. Third place went to California's Gary Fortune, 39, (Malibu) - 6:00:28, who was not tipped to be among the top finishers. La Jolla's Eric Meech was the Mainland favorite, but a run-in with a large fish 10 minutes into the race saw him break the rudder-system on his open class board. The only back-up equipment he could find was a smaller, 12-foot "stockboard". Despite the mishap, he finished second in the stockboard division (6:28:26), even after incurring a one-minute penalty for his change in equipment. The top stockboarder was Keoni Watson (Honolulu, 6:28:03). The first Hawaii paddler over the line was 53-yearold Matt Barnett (Haleiwa), paddling an open-class board in a time of 6:26:44, for 13th place overall. Only one woman made the solo crossing, defending champion Kanesa Duncan, 30, (Honolulu), in a time of 6:33:54. Duncan crossed in 21st place overall. Duncan is the defending women's champion and also the women's course record holder. This was her fifth crossing. Pentagon Papers Author Daniel Ellsberg Says Government May Have Carried Out 9/11 Predicts Bush Regime Will Stage Terrorist Attack to Provide Pretext for Iran, Syria Invasion, And Justify Internment Camps for American People By Kevin Smith & Alex Jones Daniel Ellsberg is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national firestorm in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, the US military's account of activities during the Vietnam War, to The New York Times. The release awakened the American people to a systematic program of organized deception carried out by the Pentagon against the population to continue the Vietnam War. Daniel Ellsberg, speaking on air to GCN radio host Jack Blood, stated his concerns that criminal elem ents of the US government were psychologically capable to have carried out 9/11. Ellsberg went on to state that another major 9-11-like state-sponsored attack would be followed by a martial law scenario which might include detention camps for American dissenters. Ellsberg said that he worked with individuals at the highest levels of government who staged war provocations several times to whip up pro-war sentiment in the US. Daniel Ellsberg now joins the ranks of hundreds of prominent engineers, physicists, economists, military officers, pilots, high-level intelligence analysts, and cabinet ministers who are exposing the 9/11 hoax. Each day more and more respected professionals are going public with their questions about the official 9/11 fable. The 9/11 cover-up dam is breaking under the weight of these truthseekers' efforts and the perpetrators of 9/11 are watching them in horror while wondering who will be the next to speak up. Here is a partial transcript of the interview: Jack Blood: Have you had a chance to take a look at a lot of this information coming from America's leading scholars, physicists, engineers, etc. Who have taken a look now at 9/11 and are now, not only questioning what might have happened on 9/11, but really being very direct including a number of high level ? Daniel Ellsberg: Actually, I have looked at a lot of that, and I'll tell you without going into it all which would take a lot of time, I find some of it very implausible and other parts of it quite solid, and there's no question in my mind that there's enough evidence there to justify a very comprehensive and hard hitting investigation of a kind that we've not seen, with subpoenas, general questioning of people, and raising the release of a lot of documents, there's no question that put it this way, very serious questions have been raised, about how much they knew beforehand and how much involvement there may been. Is the, is a administration capable, humanly and physiologically of engineering such a provocation? Yes, I would say that, I worked for such an administration myself, Johnson, ah, President Johnson put destro yers in harm's way in the Tonkin Gulf not only once, but several times, with the, with a lot of his people hoping that it would lead to a confrontation and claiming that it had. And could have resulted in the loss of many lives in the course of it. And what I'm saying now, by the way though is this, and here there's a very strong analogy, to this day there is a controversy gone back and forth historically, as to who caused the Reichstag fire, the burning of their parliament in Nazi Germany, the Reichstag, on February 27 th 1933. Goering, at one point, the number two man in the Nazi regime, said "I set that fire", later he denied that at Nuremberg, and I've noticed that the latest history suggests, that it wasn't the Nazi's. The point is that all this time later is there is still a controversy about that. But, what there's no controversy about is the use the Nazi's made of it, that very night and the next day. J.B. Cui Bono, who benefits? D.E. February 28 th, there was a Reichstag fire decree that ended freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, all in the Weimar Constitution, and privacy of the postal system and of communications and of telephone, what ended here in USA too, more than we knew four years ago right after 9/11. If there's another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country, detention camps for middle-easterners and their quote "sympathizers", critics of the President's policy and essentially the wiping-out of the Bill of Rights. J.B. I know your walking very carefully here Daniel Ellsberg, but that's pretty strong medicine and we have to look at the history of the world, governments do this, as you mentioned, governments are liars, governments are murderers, they, this is not above them, I'm sure your familiar with the Northwoods Document. D.E. Ah yes, indeed. Yeah talking about a manufactured provocation which could have involved even the shooting down of an American or some other airliner, with American support. Yes I would say by the way, that Americans definitely play this game, I'm sure that it's happening now. We, I expected by the way, Bush to manufacture a kind of Tonkin Gulf incident before he went into Iraq and then I decided well I'd been wrong they didn't feel they needed that. It is interesting that the memos that came out, in conversations between Blair and Bush, (aka The White House Memo), show that Bush was pressing for the possibility of sending over a U-2 and getting it fired on and using that as an excuse. J.B. A U-2 painted like a U.N., ah, a United Nations airplane. D.E. Yes. But, what is happening right now is that Israel is clearly seeking a generally provocative act by both Hammas and Hezbollah, which I think were not wise acts some people are applauding those in the Middle-East passing out sweets and so forth, very short-sighted I would say, a lot of innocent people are going to die as a result. Then martial law in U.S.A. if this all comes to pass. Looks grim. Representative Of Largest 9/11 Families Group Says Government Complicit In Attacks on 9-11-01. Michael Meacher: This war on terrorism is bogus. Former Bush Admin Member Says Government Complicit In 9/11 The M.A.N. ..... August 2, 2006...Page 5 . Air Marshalls Blow Whistle on QUOTA Innocent People Placed On 'Watch List' To Meet Quota July 21, 2006 DENVER -- You could be on a secret government database or watch list for simply taking a picture on an airplane. Some federal air marshals say they're reporting your actions to meet a quota, even though some top officials deny it. The air marshals, whose identities are being concealed, told 7NEWS that they're required to submit at least one report a month. If they don't, there's no raise, no bonus, no awards and no special assignments. "Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft ... and they did nothing wrong," said one federal air marshal. These unknowing passengers who are doing nothing wrong are landing in a secret government document called a Surveillance Detection Report, or SDR. Air marshals told 7NEWS that managers in Las Vegas created and continue to maintain this potentially dangerous quota system. "Do these reports have real life impacts on the people who are identified as potential terrorists?" 7NEWS Investigator Tony Kovaleski asked. "Absolutely," a federal air marshal replied. 7NEWS obtained an internal Homeland Security document defining an SDR as a report designed to identify terrorist surveillance activity. "When you see a decision like this, for these reports, who loses here?" Kovaleski asked. "The people we're supposed to protect -- the American public," an air marshal said. What kind of impact would it have for a flying individual to be named in an SDR? "That could have serious impact ... They could be placed on a watch list. They could wind up on databases that identify them as potential terrorists or a threat to an aircraft. It could be very serious," said Don Strange, a former agent in charge of air marshals in Atlanta. He lost his job attempting to change policies inside the agency. That's why several air marshals object to a July 2004 memo from top management in the Las Vegas office, a memo that reminded air marshals of the SDR requirement. The body of the memo said, "Each federal air marshal is now expected to generate at least one SDR per month." "Does that memo read to you that Federal Air Marshal headquarters has set a quota on these reports?" Kovaleski asked. "Absolutely, no doubt," an air marshal replied. A second management memo, also dated July 2004, said, "There may come an occasion when you just don't see anything out of the ordinary for a month at a time, but I'm sure that if you are looking for it, you'll see something." Another federal air marshal said that not only is there a quota in Las Vegas for SDRs, but that "it directly reflects on (their) performance evaluations" and on how much money they make. The director of the Air Marshal Service, Dana Brown, declined 7NEWS' request for an interview on the quota system. But the agency points to a memo from August 2004 that said there is not a quota for submitting SDRs and which goes on to say, "I do not expect reports that are inaccurate or frivolous." But, Las Vegas-based air marshals say the quota system remains in force, now more than two years after managers sent the original memos, and that it's a mandate from management that impacts annual raises, bonuses, awards and special assignments. "To meet this quota, to get their raises, do you think federal air marshals in Las Vegas are making some of this stuff up?" Kovaleski asked. "I know they are. It's a joke," an air marshal replied. "Have marshals in the Las Vegas office, I don't want to say fabricated, but 'created' reports?" Kovaleski asked. "Creative writing -- stretching a long ways the truth, yes," an air marshal replied. One example, according to air marshals, occurred on one flight leaving Las Vegas, when an unknowing passenger, most likely a tourist, was identified in an SDR for doing nothing more than taking a photo of the Las Vegas skyline as his plane rolled down the runway. "You're saying that was not an accurate portrayal of a potential terrorist activity?" Kovaleski asked. "No, it was not," an air marshal said. "It was a marshal trying to meet a quota ..." Kovaleski said. "Yes, he was," the air marshal replied. Strange said he didn't have a quota in the Atlanta office when he was in charge. "I would never have done that ... You are going to have people reporting every suspicious looking activity they come across, whether they in their heart feel like it's a threat, just to meet the quota," Strange said. Strange and other air marshals said the quota allows the government to fill a database with bad information. A Las Vegas air marshal said he didn't write an SDR every month for exactly that reason. "Well, it's intelligence information, and like any system, if you put garbage in, you get garbage out," the air marshal said. "I would like to see an investigation -- a real investigation conducted into the ways things are done here," the air marshal in Las Vegas said. Although the agency strongly denies any presence of a quota system, Las Vegasbased air marshals have produced documents that show their performance review is directly linked to producing SDRs. Bush Submits New Terror Detainee Bill Against U.S Citizens! WU.S. citizens suspected of terror ties might be detained indefinitely and barred from access to civilian courts under legislation proposed by the Bush administration, say legal experts reviewing an early version of the bill. A 32-page draft measure is intended to authorize the Pentagon's tribunal system to detain and prosecute detainees captured in the war on terror. Administration officials, who declined to comment on the draft, said the proposal was still under discussion and no final decisions had been made. According to the draft, the military would be allowed to detain anyone "engaged in hostilities against the United States who has committed an act that violates the law of war and this statute." Legal experts said Friday that such language is dangerously broad and could authorize the military to detain indefinitely U.S. citizens who oppose government policy. "That's the big question ... the definition of who can be detained," said Martin Lederman, a law professor at Georgetown University. Scott L. Silliman, a retired Air Force Judge Advocate, said the broad definition of enemy combatants is alarming because a U.S. citizen loosely suspected of terror ties would lose access to a civilian court - and all the rights that come with it, including barring hearsay evidence, guaranteeing "speedy trials" and granting a defendant access to evidence. The proposal also would allow defendants to be barred from their own trial and likely allow the submission of coerced [torture] testimony. —MAKAALA !!! Israel and Bush Bring Terrorism Fallout to U.S.A: 1 dead, 5 hurt in Seattle. Shooter angry 'about Israel,' attacks Jewish Federation A 31-year-old Pakistani man, announcing he was a Muslim and angry about Israel, pulled out a gun in the Seattle Jewish Federation today and shot six people, one dead. The gunman, who has not been named, reportedly lives in Pasco, Washington and has a criminal background. He reportedly is a U.S. citizen. According to several witnesses, the man got through security and announced to staff members: "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel." He immediately began shooting. FBI spokesman David Gomez said officials believe the suspect acted alone and is not affiliated with a foreign organization. A hospital spokesman said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. Three are in their 20s, one is 19 and the other is 43. The 43-year-old was shot in the abdomen. One of the victims is in her 17th week of pregnancy. A joint terrorism task force joined SWAT teams and a bomb disposal unit at the scene. "Throughout the city, we have directed all our patrol officers to monitor closely all synagogues and other Jewish organizations, and we have also advised neighboring agencies in the Puget Sound area to do the same," said Nick Metz, Seattle Police Department. The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle says on its Web site that its mission is to "ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide." The FBI has labeled the shootings a "hate crime" based on what the gunman told police in a 911 call, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported. The situation in Iraq is out of control with many thousand upon thousands of deaths more than Sadam ever perpetrated or would have caused by the U S meddling into things they should have left alone. Hezbollah didn't exist before Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon beginning in 1982. Its a continuing war, not a terrorist attack on Israel. We should judge the Israeli government's and Hezbollah's respective crimes killing civilians in light of the context: Israeli's 40-year occupation of Lebanon's Shebaa Farms, Syria's Golan Heights, the Palestinians' Gaza Strip and West Bank. By any reasonable definition, the so-called provocation by Hezbollah -- the seizing of two Israeli soldiers -- was part of a continuing military conflict, not an act of terrorism. Thus stopping the threat to innocents is imperative. But President Bush is opposing a ceasefire. Furthermore, he is shipping precision bombs to Israel. The Lebanese will know where those bombs were made. This guarantees anti-American violence in the future. Thanks for looking out for us, Mr. President. The more governments that join in, the greater the threat to innocents is likely to be. The root of the conflict is the Israeli occupation of Arab land. Hezbollah didn't exist before Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon beginning in 1982. And Israel invaded Lebanon to root out Palestinian refugees, who had moved there via Jordan after they were forced by the Jews to leave their homes, first, when Israel was being established by the European powers, culminating in formal nationhood in 1948, and again during its 1967 preventive war against its Arab neighbors. Aug. 16 PUT THE WAR ON TRIAL: "Is the U.S. war and occupation of Iraq illegal?" On August 17, U.S. Army First Lieutenant Ehren Watada will face a pre-trial hearing for refusing to deploy to Iraq. It is my conclusion as an officer of the armed forces that the war in Iraq is not only morally wrong but a horrible breach of American law. The war and what we re doing over there is illegal, explained the first military officer to publicly take such a stand. On August 16, the day prior to the hearing, The Friends and Family of Lt. Ehren Watada are calling for a National Day of Education: Is the war illegal? Prior to the U.S. attack on Iraq, over a thousand U.S. law organizations and professors explained that an invasion, without a new U.N. Security Council Resolution, would constitute a crime against the peace and a war of aggression. Since then, U.N. SecretaryGeneral Kofi Annan has unequivocally confirmed that the U.S. war was illegal. And documents such as the Downing Street Memos make clear that the war and occupation was planned and initiated as an illegal war of aggression. The Army has formally charged Lt. Watada two counts of making contemptuous words towards President Bush. In short, Lt. Watada has expressed his opinion that our government led us into war based on misrepresentations and lies. Could it be that because this opinion is so widely shared, that it is so threatening? August 17 will tell. Page 6 .....

(Decl. of Indep.) If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, and, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.

Kennedy "Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God." Thomas Jefferson Enforce the Bill of Rights ! ————————————— Guns Maybe Prohibited on Foreign Owned Highways and Toll Roads in USA ? As disturbing as this is, you may be asking yourself what it has to do with gun owners. The answer is, maybe more than you think. For example, if foreign companies "own" American roads, can they forbid you from traveling with firearms on them? With the recent revelations that the Bush Administration is pushing for a "North American Union" -- essentially removing borders between the US, Mexico, and Canada ( http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=15623 ) -- the outlook seems grim. Foreign interests will control more and more "public" infrastructure in the US. The more that they control, the more power they will wield in influencing US policy, both foreign and domestic. And foreign interests have made it very clear in the past that they don't like firearms in the hands of US citizens ( http://www.jpfo.org/alert20060712.htm ). More importantly, all of these entities will want a police force to enforce their new laws. That's where the BATFE comes in. And while we can't stop a foreign company from buying a bridge or leasing a road, we _can_ take steps to abolish the BATFE before foreign influences become too powerful. If you'd like to help, please visit www.jpfo.org/thegang.htm Are we ready NOW to take our country back and reestablish a Bill of Rights culture? Foreign Companies Buy U.S. Roads, Bridges, Water Systems? NewsMax, July 15, 2006 Roads and bridges built by U.S. taxpayers are starting to be sold off, and so far foreign-owned companies are doing the buying. On a single day in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8 billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials decided to let a Spanish-American partnership build and run a toll road from Austin to Seguin for 50 years. Few people know that the tolls from the U.S. side of the tunnel between Detroit and Windsor, Canada, go to a subsidiary of an Australian company which also owns a bridge in Alabama. Some experts welcome the trend. Robert Poole, transportation director for the conservative think tank Reason Foundation, said private investors can raise more money than politicians to build new roads because these kind of owners are willing to raise tolls. "They depoliticize the tolling de cision," Poole said. Besides, he said, foreign companies have purchased infrastructure in Europe for years. The Bush administration's plan to let a foreign company manage U.S. ports met a storm of protest. John Foote, senior fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, said the government can take over a highway in an emergency. But he objects to selling roads to raise cash. But that is just what Chicago has done, and it is a trend spreading across the nation, up to Alakasnan Islands being sold to Russa, and maybe even to Hawaii where highway funding is always in short supply. Washington is not likely to produce more money to build roads. The federal highway fund which will have a balance of about $16 billion by the end of 2006 will run out in 2009 or 2010, according to White House and congressional estimates. About half the states now let companies build and operate roads. Many changed their laws recently to do so. Last year, the Chicago sold a 99-year lease on the eight-mile Chicago Skyway for $1.83 billion. The buyer was the same consortium that leased the Indiana Toll Road Macquarie Infrastructure Group of Sydney, Australia, and Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte of Madrid, Spain. Chicago used the money to pay off debt and fund road projects. Skyway tolls rose 50 cents, to $2.50; By 2017, they will reach $5. The Indiana Toll Road lease proceeds will pay for urgent projects such as road and bridge improvements. That need is precisely why cities and states have begun to look to foreign investors. Illinois lawmakers are examining privatizing the Illinois Tollway, New Jersey lawmakers are considering selling 49 percent of the state's two big toll roads and a gubernatorial candidate in Ohio wants to sell the turnpike. Patrick Bauer, the Indiana House's Democratic leader, says such deals are taxpayer rip-offs. Bauer believes Macquarie-Cintra could make $133 billion over the 75year life of the Indiana Toll Road lease for which Indiana got $3.8 billion. "In five, maybe 10 years, all that money is gone, and the tolls keep rising and the money keeps flowing into the foreign coffers," Bauer said. Orange County, Calif., got burned by a toll-road lease for a different reason. The road, part of state Route 91, was built and run for $130 million by California Private Transportation Company, partly owned by France-based Compagnie Financiere et Industrielle des Autoroutes. The toll road opened in 1995. Seven years later, Orange County was looking at gridlock. But it could not build more roads because of a provision in the lease. So it bought back the lease for $207.5 million. To encourage more domestic investment in highways, former Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta made a pitch to Wall Street: "The time is now for United States investors including our financial, construction and engineering institutions to get involved in transportation investments," said Mineta, who left office July 7. U.S. companies are getting the message, hopefully. As disturbing as this is, you may be asking yourself what it has to do with gun owners. The answer is, maybe more than you think.-- the outlook seems grim. ENFORCE THE BILL OF RIGHTS ! Crimes of Politicians Must Be Stopped by The People (You are The Militia) The crime on our streets is a tiny fraction of the crime in the offices of our politicians and bureaucrats - the massive majority of crime is committeed by the criminal classes in power. Just look at the constant abuse of power in our State government offices and you will realize the extent of crime in Government. Just consider just how many BILLIONS of dollars a day Government extorts from the people and how little WE get in return; and just how comfortable the politicians make themselves at the expense of the peoples they extort! The goal of the founders of America was to restrict government within severe limits and to protect the rights of soverign individuals. Government has NO rights! Judges are impeachable. Furthermore, judges may be removed immediately for violating oaths of office, involvement in conspiracies, extortion, and failing to uphold their duty to the common law. Judges can also be arrested, they are not exempt from this nor are any other officials, including the President of the United States. Do the people have the power to do this? Yes, the people have the power to do everything to defend our country against all enemies foreign or domestic politician, and government has no power to say otherwise. Fascist bureaucrats might send out its armed marauders, but a huge group of The People (Militia) armed with guns as guaranteed their Right to keep and bear arms by the 2nd Amendment is likely to stop them unless the governments decide that it is time to begin mass killings of all people who believe in the rights of Man.

Call The MAN 558-8253. Also see WACO Expose, and IRS Expose. 911 SMOKING GUN: PHOTO of THERMATE CUT Beams This photo of a firefighter at Ground Zero standing in front of a massive centralcore column that has clearly been cut at an angle on 9-11-01, is more evidence supporting the theory that Thermate charges were used in the controlled demolition of WTC buildings on 9-11-01. This is photographic evidence that could constitute very strong proof that the cut was caused by pre-positioned explosives. A professional controlled-demolition crew at work setting up a steel-framed highrise building for a “pull” gave further support when they demonstrated that they put the explosives in a carefully calculated angle of the shaped-charge positioned on the column for a specific purpose: when the explosion causes the beam to sever at that angle, gravity loads assist separation by forcing the upper section ˜ now cleanly severed ˜ to laterally “walk” away from the stationary lower portion down the angled cut thereby initiating collapse of the building mass above it. A straight cut, on the other hand, would simply cause the upper section to drop straight down about one inch onto the lower thereby arresting any further movement. I think it should be clear to anyone who carefully compares these two scenarios that the beams at the WTC were set up at this angle for the purpose of controlled demolition. Unfortunately, this crime scene was quickly removed on orders from the White House before an investigation could be done to determine all the facts about what caused the WTC towers to fall down as in a controlled demolition, rather than being due to airplanes crashing into them. Of course the guilty would love to say that we will never get to the bottom of the issue. By now, the theoretical case has in effect been settled. Silverstein admitted blowing up WTC-7, and there is no evidence of a 757 at the Pentagon. We can’t seem to get credible answers from the powers that be, so it appears the real attitude of the perpetrators could best be paraphrased as follows: "You have no power. As far as we are concerned, we can keep debating for ever. We can even have annual conspiracy conventions on 9/11, with a host of speakers. To use a Russian expression, the dogs may bark as the train roars along. You are the dogs, and we are the train. Keep whining. We will keep on declaring ourselves unconvinced. We still own the TV stations that refuse to show evidence, we still own the banks and the military, and you can chatter on the internet all you want as you fade into ineffectual obscurity." That is the essence of their real position as I see it. I think we need to tell Bush et al that they have wrecked the economy. You are facing military exhaustion, as your megalomaniacal schemes for world domination are collapsing because of overpriced weaponry and a disappearing base of military manpower. We can and will wait until economic collapse and military exhaustion set in. At that time, you will have no power. The arrests, interrogations, and trials will take place. There will be no further debate. The issue will be settled by evidence in criminal judicial proceedings, as they were when your colleagues in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan ran out of power to bully dissent. This a matter of power. As long as the perps cling onto the power they value (TV and the military) they feel they can safely pretend to be unconvinced by even the most overwhelming evidence and logic that 9-11 was a criminal conspiracy perpetrated by domestic enemies of our Constitution and the American People. Only when their power collapses will the weight of the arguments be acknowledged. Remember, even Galileo was forced to recant his view that the earth revolves around the Sun. Only when the Thirty Years War was over, in 1648, could a sizeable portion of the population of Europe defy the ecclesiastical power structure to recognize the cogency of Galileo's truths. If Galileo himself had to undergo the humiliation of an actual recantation, who are we to complain that the perps, naturally enough, claim that we will never resolve the issue? Galileo won. So will we. But only when the power of the perps is broken. Pull it, said Silvestein on 9-11-01 You Can Protect Freedom: Question Authority!
