Zionist settlers attack 4 Palestinians Tue, 25 Dec 2007 18:18:03

Masked Zionist settlers have attacked Palestinian farmers in a field near the West Bank city of Nablus, beating four and injuring them. The settlers sprayed the Palestinians victims in the eyes with pepper spray and then beat them with sticks, witnesses and doctors told AP. Witnesses said the four Palestinian farmers were planting wheat. Of the two injured and treated at a local hospital, one was hurt moderately, doctors said. A local Palestinian leader, Omar Shtayeh, said he filed a complaint with authorities about Tuesday's incident. "They parked on the road and we thought they were just hiking but suddenly they put on masks and they sprayed me in my eyes and beat me and I couldn't see who he was," said 46-year-old farmer Hussein Asida. A Palestinian youth, 15, was among those attacked, Asida said. The settlers from the nearby illegal outpost of Havat Gilad had attacked Palestinian farmers in the past.

April is the Cruelest Month

by E. Michael Jones, Ph.D.

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation. . . . [This is] good old American pornography."
Rush Limbaugh in response to a caller discussing the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal, on May 6, 2004.

"Americans . . . should not flinch from this fact: That pornography is, almost inevitably, part of what empire looks like. . . . Empire is always about domination. Domination for self defense perhaps. Domination for the good of the dominated arguably. But domination."
George F. Will, "Who has paid for mistakes?" SBT, 5/12/04

Anyone who has ever written for the Catholic press knows that time lag is one of the most important facts of journalistic life. There are no Catholic dailies. Many dioceses have weekly papers, whose articles are written largely by stringers. They write, by contemporary standards, a long time in advance. This magazine is no exception to that rule. That means that in general what gets written arrives just in time to prove the writer either a prophet or an idiot, who has been hopelessly overtaken by the course of subsequent events.

For the month of April, Culture Wars readers were treated to an article on 1) the Israeli military's use of pornography and 2) a graphic example of how pornography invariably gets out of control. Readers of the nation's diocesan newspapers on the other hand, were treated to neocon papal biographer George Weigel's April 14 column expatiating on how the war in Iraq was still a just war, in spite of the absence of weapons of mass destruction, its main justification. As if that weren't bad enough, Mr. Weigel goes on to argue that the war was a good idea because it is going so well. If Mr. Weigel had it to do all over again, he would have America invade Iraq again, not because of the weapons of mass destruction but because of the beneficial effects the invasion has had on that country. Admitting that "moral arguments from consequences are not without difficulties," Weigel goes on to argue that "the case for the war has been strengthened by several of its results." These include the fact that "Iraq is building an infrastructure of a civil society; no more mass graves are being dug; a free press flourishes" and that "children are learning from reliable textbooks rather than being poisoned by propaganda."

Catholic readers of diocesan newspapers were treated to this upbeat account of the events in Iraq two weeks into April 2004, which is to say, two weeks into the most catastrophic month in the history of George W. Bush's Iraqi war. By the time Weigel's column made it into Catholic diocesan newspapers, the four American "security contractors," i.e., mercenaries, had been slain, mutilated, and dragged through the streets of Falluja. By the time Catholic readers read Weigel's column, American troops had bogged down in the ill-fated siege of Falluja, a siege which may prove to be the high water mark of the American empire and the American equivalent to the high water mark of the Soviet empire in Afghanistan, when the Russians realized they had bitten off more than they could chew. George Weigel's announcement that "no more mass graves are being dug" in Iraq was, like everything else he mentioned, overtaken by the course of events in April. Over a thousand Iraqis were killed in a fruitless siege that only showed how powerless the Americans were to stop the insurgency in a city that had already supposedly been conquered. Does our Catholic neocon Pangloss, George Weigel, consider the funeral arrangements for those people "mass graves"? Does it matter to the Iraqis who lost family members in the ill-fated siege? On the last day of April, Richard Holbrooke, former US ambassador to the UN described the situation in Iraq as "disintegration verging on collapse." As T. S. Eliot had indicated earlier in the previous century, April was turning out to be the cruelest month.

But the cruelest cut of all was yet to come - for both the American empire and for the Panglossian Catholic neocons who were its most avid apologists. As one last proof to back up his contention that "the war was morally justified," the papal biographer who spent last year telling Catholics they didn't have to listen to the pope's views on the war added that "rape is no longer an instrument of state policy." Once again Weigel's timing was exquisite. Within a week of his announcement, pictures of the sexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners began circulating on the Internet. Within 10 days, President Bush appeared on Arab television offering what seemed like an apology for the incident. One day latter, he actually and unabashedly apologized to the king of Jordan for the incident, amid cries for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation.

To describe the magnitude of the irony here, we will have to invent a new word. The irony of announcing that "rape is no longer an instrument of state policy" when pictures of American soldiers engaging in sexual abuse were circulating on the Internet and then on the front page of the Washington Post was more than "Orwellian"; it was, shall we say, "Weigelian" not least of all because the abuse was perpetrated in the same prison.

The irony was not lost on Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman (although many other ironies were). "What more symbolic place to show Americans abusing Iraqis," she opined, "than in the notorious prison where Saddam Hussein held, tortured and murdered thousands of his citizens." The irony was not lost on the Arab world either, which was quick to condemn the American occupiers as hypcrites. As Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of the newspaper Al Qud Al Arabi said, "the Liberators are worse than the dictators."

London-based columnist Gwynne Dyer described the pictures of Lynndie England, the 21-year old soldierette from a trailer park in West Virginia who was photographed leering at a naked Iraqi fondling himself, as a sign that "the entire US neoconservative adventure in the Middle East . . is now doomed." He was not alone in expressing his feelings, although he was more frank than his more opportunistic colleagues. George Will, for example, a columnist who had been an avid cheerleader for the Iraqi war, seemed to be having second thoughts in light of the by-him unmentioned sexual abuse in Iraq. Concluding that the war has now become an albatross around the neck of conservatives, Will attempts to "separate. . . conservatives from Neoconservatives." For the uninitiated, Neocon Bill Kristol has already explicated the term "neocon" in an article in the Wall Street Journal. "Con," he tells us, stands for "conservative," and "neo" means "Jew." In a world which routinely seeks to find scapegoats for policies which it hitherto promoted, "neoconservative" has become a universal term of opprobrium and a circumlocution for the world "Jew." Will, who spouted all of the neocon clichés in the wake of 9/11 and the run-up to the Iraqi war is now trying to distance himself from a foreign policy debacle and the people who created it. "Traditional conservatism," he informs us, has "Nothing 'neo' about it. This administration needs a dose of conservatism without the prefix."

One day later, Senator Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina took the level of acceptable discourse a step further - although not as far as Bill Kristol had taken it - by claiming that the war in Iraq had turned into a debacle which could be traced not to preventing terrorism and not to retaliation for the 9/11 attack, but to "President Bush's policy to secure Israel" (Charleston Post and Courier, 5/6/04). The architects of that policy are "[Deputy Defense Secretary Paul] Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Charles Krauthammer, who "for years" have been promoting "a domino school of thought that the way to guarantee Israel's security is to spread democracy in the area." Paul Wolfowitz led President Bush into thinking that "taking Iraq would be easy" and that it would "only take seven days." Bush fell for that disinformation because he had learned a lesson from the 1992 election, when the Jews turned against his father, a move which cost him a second term as president. Bush, according to close advisers like Paul O'Neill, "started laying the groundwork to invade Iraq days after the inauguration," because "spreading democracy in the Mideast to secure Israel would take the Jewish vote from the Democrats." The result is the current quagmire and the fact that people in power are looking for people to blame. The fact that George Will wants to separate the "neo" from "conservative" is some indication of whom even formerly avid warmongers are willing to blame.

Ellen Goodman is every bit as disingenuous in her own way. Like George Will and many other people, she looked into her computer screen and saw in Lynndie England a monster of her own creation. "That," she might have said, "is not what I meant at all." But that, meaning the leering soldierette with the cigarette dangling from her lips, is what she got, and she got it because Lynndie England is nothing more than the logical outcome of 30 years of feminist social engineering, which was nothing more than the moral corruption of the nation's women in order to turn them into Title IX athletes, disposable neutered sex partners, wage slaves, and, the unfortunate combination of all three, female soldiers. The feminist Ellen Goodman looks into the mirror and sees Lynndie England and does not like what she sees. Instead of dealing with the shock of recognition honestly, she tries to obscure it with disingenuous questions, in her attempt to decipher the sexual message the abuse pictures convey. "It's hard enough," she writes,

just to deconstruct the sexual content of many abuses meant to break the prisoners. What do you say of a "torture" that requires men to simulate homosexual acts or wear women's underwear? What do you say about the fact that three of the seven soldiers arrested so far were women? Was the smiling woman giving the thumbs up over the genitals of a masturbating detainee just one of the boys?

No, she was just a good feminist. Which is to say, a woman whose morals have been corrupted by a steady diet of sexual liberation. And what you say about the scenarios involving homosexual acts and women's underwear is that they come from pornography. But let's give Ms. Goodman the benefit of the doubt here. On the off chance that her questions may be sincere, let's help her explicate the sexual content of the abuses, by citing Neocon warmonger Charles Krauthammer, who, after wondering, like Ms. Goodman, "What was this about?" concludes that "This war is also about - deeply about - sex. (Abu Ghraib as symbol by Charles Krauthammer, washingtonpost.com 5/7/04).

Has Mr. Krauthammer been reading Culture Wars? Like the folks at Culture Wars, Krauthammer concludes that "One could not have designed a more symbolic representation of the Islamist warning about where Western freedom ultimately leads than yesterday's Washington Post photo of a uniformed American woman holding a naked Arab man on a leash." Like Culture Wars, Krauthammer feels that "The pictures of female US soldiers mocking, humiliating and dominating naked and abused Arab men . . .do not reflect, however, the ethos of the US military," but they do represent "the most deeply psychologically charged - and most deeply buried - aspect of the entire war on terrorism, exactly as Osama bin Laden would have scripted it," namely the belief that America is not synonymous with the moral corruption of women and the dissemination of pornography as a form of control.

Both Rush Limbaugh and George Will were quick to chime in with similar observations. America, according to both, is about pornography. "Americans," he told readers of the Washington Post, " . . . should not flinch from this fact: That pornography is, almost inevitably, part of what empire looks like." Empire, Will continued as if he had just put down a copy of Libido Dominandi, "is always about domination. Domination for self defense perhaps. Domination for the good of the dominated arguably. But domination."

"Having a Good Time"

Rush Limbaugh had much the same thing to say. America means pornography. That means that liberated soldierettes like Lynndie and Sabrina Harman, also facing a court martial, were just "people having a good time." Have you, Limbaugh asked a caller, "ever heard of emotional release? You heard of need to blow some steam off? This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time."

For Rush Limbaugh "the whole purpose here, which has been said, was to humiliate these prisoners. And there's no better way of doing it than what was done. These are Arab males - what better way to humiliate them than to have a woman have authority over them? What's the purpose here? What's the objective of this? The objective is to soften them up for interrogation later, later on. As I said, there was no horror, there was no terror there was no death, there was no injuries, nothing."

Rush Limbaugh's assumption that Lynndie and Sabrina were just having a good time was contradicted by their own account of events. According to their reports, they were just following orders. In an interview with Brian Maass of Denver CBS station KCNC-TV, Lynndie England claimed that her actions were dictated by "persons in my higher chain of command."

"I was instructed by persons in higher rank to stand there and hold this leash and look at the camera," she said.

According to the CBS report, "England said the actions depicted in the photos were intended to put psychological pressure on the Iraqi prisoners." England claimed that the photos were taken "for psy-op reasons. And the reasons worked. I mean, so to us, we were doing our job, which meant we were doing what we were told, and the outcome was what they wanted. They'd come back and they'd look at the pictures, and they'd state, 'Oh, that's a good tactic, keep it up. That's working. This is working. Keep doing it. It's getting what we need.'"

Sabrina Harman was one of two soldiers seen smiling in a widely published photograph, in which she crouched behind a cluster of naked Iraqi detainees stacked in a pyramid. Harman, now known as the army's Queen of S & M, said much the same thing: "They would bring in one to several prisoners at a time, already hooded and cuffed," she told the Washington Post. "The job of the MP was to keep them awake, make it hell so they would talk." Harman said she took direction "from the military intelligence officers in charge of the Abu Ghraib prison and from civilian contractors there who conducted interrogations," but she would not get specific about who ordered the treatment.

Which leads us to the question which got posed to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld when he appeared before Congress to testify on the abuse at Abu Ghraib: "who was in charge?" Evidently it wasn't Brig. General Janice Karpinski.

"These acts of abuse," Sen. Carl Levin said at the same hearings, "were not the spontaneous actions of ranking enlisted personnel who lacked the proper supervision. These attempts to extract information from prisoners by abusive and degrading methods were clearly planned and suggested by others."

But who?

One of the names making the rounds was "John Israel," who was identified in General Taguba's report on the abuse at Abu Ghraib as "as being employed by both CACI International [a defense subcontractor out] of Arlington, VA and Titan, Inc. Of San Diego, may not have even been a US citizen. The Taguba report states that Israel did not have a security clearance, a requirement for employment as an interrogator for CACI." According to Wayne Madsen ("The Israeli Torture Template: Rape, Feces and Urine-Dipped Cloth Sacks"):

Mounting evidence that a shadowy group of former Israeli Defense Force and General Security Service (Shin Bet) Arabic-speaking interrogators were hired by the Pentagon under a classified "carve out" subcontract to brutally interrogate Iraqi prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison. . . . The interrogators at Abu Ghraib included a number of Arabic-speaking Israelis who also helped US interrogators develop the "R2I" (Resistance to Interrogation ) techniques. Many of the torture methods were developed by the Israelis over many years of interrogating Arab prisoners on the occupied West Bank and in Israel itself.

The Israelis, it turns out, have been using pornography as a cultural weapon for some time now; Jews in general for much longer, as I have pointed out in "Rabbi Dresner's Dilemma." In addition to the incident I have already cited (CW, April 2004) when the Israelis broadcast porn over Palestinian TV stations after their invasion of Ramallah, visitors who logged on to the Palestinian Hamas homepage in 2001, according to a story reported on by, among others, the BBC, "were treated to a lot more action than they might have bargained for when they were diverted to a hard-core porn site called Hot Motel Horny Sex Sluts." Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the leader of Hamas who was murdered by an Israeli helicopter gunship while leaving his mosque, "pointed the finger at Israeli Intelligence accusing them of 'trying to disfigure the image of Islam and Muslims.'"

One year earlier, the Cairo weekly Al-Arabi accused the Israelis of using Egyptian look-alike body doubles to portray popular Egyptian movie stars in pornographic films. Al-Arabi said that the purpose was to "tarnish the reputation of Egyptian film stars," but the tactic is similar to what the Israeli's did two years later in Ramallah, to demoralize the Egyptians by involving their idols in porn.

What all of these incidents have in common is Israeli involvement in the military application of pornography. The same sort of thing which occurred at Abu Ghraib prison. According to one report, the Iraqi men were "made to live in cramped windowless cells with no clothes, running war or toilet for up to three days." They were treated this way deliberately in order to break them down. At this point we just don't know if what followed transcended the R2I interrogation manuals or was simply R2I pure and simple. All we know is that the intent was to humiliate the prisoners and break them down, which is also the intent of pornography.

Describing the pictures she saw of the abuse at Abu Ghraib, Joanna Burke wrote in The Guardian that

This festival of violence is highly pornographic. The victims have been reduced to exhibitionist objects or anonymous "meat." They either wear hoods or are beheaded by the camera. The people taking the photographs exult in the genitals of their victims. There is no moral confusion here: the photographers don't even seem aware that they are recording a war crime. There is no suggestion that they are documenting anything particularly morally skewed. For the person behind the camera, the aesthetic of pornography protects them from blame.

"The evil of torture," Burke continues,

lies elsewhere: it denies its victim the minimum recognition offered by society and law and in doing so, it destroys the respect people routinely expect from others. More importantly, torture aims to undermine the way the victim relates to his or her own self, and thus threatens to dissolve the mainsprings of an individual's personality. Torture is an embodied violation of another individual. The sexual nature of these acts shows that the torturers realize the centrality of sexuality for their victim's identity. The perpetrators of these photographs aim to destroy their victim's sense of self by inflicting and recording extreme sexual humiliation.

Which is precisely the role that pornography plays in cultural warfare. The two trajectories of pornography-military use and cultural subversion, both of which by nature tend to get out of control-came together in Abu Ghraib.

Just for the record, and as an aid to Ellen Goodman, the intentional abuse of detainees by military police personnel (descriptions are direct quotes taken from the Army's report on the abuse) included the following acts:

Videotaping and photographing naked male and female detainees;

Forcibly arranging detainees in various sexual explicitly positions for photographing;

Forcing detainees to remove their clothing and keeping them naked for several days at a time;

Forcing groups of male detainees to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped;

Arranging naked male detainees in a pile and then jumping on them;

Positioning a naked detainee on a MRE Box, with a sandbag on his head, and attaching wires to his fingers, toes and penis to simulate electric torture;

Writing "I am a Rapest" (sic) on the leg of a detainee alleged to have forcibly raped a 15 year-old fellow detainee, and then photographing him naked;

Placing a dog chain or strap around a naked detainee's neck and having a female Soldier pose for a picture;

A Male MP guard having sex with a female detainee;

Sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broomstick.

Not documented in the report, but reported on MSNBC was the claim that military police at Abu Ghraib "forced prisoners to watch Americans have sex." One report claimed that the government had pictures of those acts but had refused to release them.

Pornography

What do those incidents have in common? Pornography. The military police may have begun by following the interrogation techniques of Mossad agents hired as private contractors, or they may have ended up by staging their own pornography. Either way, when the Iraqi men were taken out of their cells, the fantasies of a generation raised on pornography took over, and the generation of women whose morals had been corrupted by Bill Clinton, feminism and Hollywood's $12 billion a year porn industry willingly joined in the torture of the Iraqis and their own sexual degradation. Lynndie England was nine-years old when Bill Clinton became president and all pornography prosecution ceased. What followed, thanks to the Internet, was the most prodigious dissemination of pornographic images in the history of the universe.

No matter who gave the orders, what happened in Abu Ghraib prison was the convergence of two forms of Jewish cultural subversion - the Neoconservative subversion of our foreign policy, which put this country's military in the service of Israel, landing 135,000 outnumbered Americans in a country where they are hated as invaders and the Hollywood subversion of the country's morals which has made pornography a fact of everyday life. Both are instances of the corruption of American morals, both in military and civilian life, even if Mossad agents weren't directing the torture. At a certain point, people are shocked by pornography. After the shock wears off, which is to say, when moral degeneracy sets in, they begin doing the very things that used to shock them. This is true of the women who post pictures of themselves engaging in sexual activity on the Internet, and it is true of soldiers who took the opportunity which the helpless prisoners under their control presented. Doing things that used to shock you is a sign of moral depravity. Having yourself photographed while doing those things is an even surer sign. The incident at Abu Ghaib, where four of the seven perpetrators were women, is a sure sign that feminism is another word for moral corruption. The corrupters of morals are always shocked when their pupils act out their commands. "This is not what I meant at all" is the common refrain.

Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt indicated that what happened at Abu Ghraib was an unfortunate aberration. "This is wrong," he claimed when the photos were made public. "This is reprehensible. But this is not representative of the 150,000 soldiers here." Unfortunately, Abu Ghaib was no unfortunate aberration. It was the perfectly logical expression of the moral corruption which the neoconservatives and Hollywood have inflicted on American life, both civilian and military. Should it be surprising that this nation's soldiers have been corrupted too, when one considers the amount of social engineering that has been inflicted on the military? That corruption was the logical outcome of two forms of cultural subversion which have brought the country to the brink of ruin.

The conservative response has been ranting in a way that would have made Joseph Goebbels blush. Writing in the Washington Post on May 12, Cal Thomas, spokesman for the nation's pro-Israel evangelicals, claimed that now "All that matters is victory. Anything less is defeat - for the United States and for those in Iraq and elsewhere who yearn to breathe free." Apologizing for the abuse won't change the minds of the Muslim world, against whom Thomas, following the lead of Krauthammer et al, has declared war, "but total victory might. Let's get on with that and engage in the psychobabble later."

Or as Goebbels was fond of asking, "Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?"

Let's hope that America doesn't have to learn where "total war" leads in the same way that the Germans did.

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1 December 19, 1776

Millions of Americans are now aware of the plan for a North American Union (NAU)/Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). This awareness came via the Internet thanks to Phyllis Schafly and Dr. Jerome Corsi (video). Lou Dobbs has given it an extraordinary amount of exposure during his shows on CNN; the rest of CNN ignores it. The silence by ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and FAUX (FOX) "news" networks has been deafening. The attack by legends in their own minds, i.e., pusillanimous individuals like Michael Medved, have been remarkable and a shame upon their so-called profession.

If you are not familiar with this final step in the complete and total destruction of our sovereign republic, I strongly recommend you go to this web site and watch this fully documented and factual slide presentation on this plan which I call treason. The definition of treason is: disloyalty or treachery to one's country or it's government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. I don't believe it is inappropriate to use the word treason when it comes to this plan to integrate America into one region with all the trappings of totalitarian government.

As someone who fought hard against NAFTA when I ran for Congress against a liar named CON-gressman Wally Herger (R-CA), I knew back in 1993 how devastating NAFTA would be to our three most important job sectors that made America great: ag, manufacturing and industrial. CON-gressman Herger said he would vote against it. He wrote a letter to the California Ag Bureau six days before the vote laying out why it was so dangerous and then just like the high paid hooker he is, voted for it. Herger admitted he never read NAFTA as most members of Congress also did not. These lackeys voted on a huge trade agreement, but never read it. Despite massive opposition at the time, this unconstitutional treaty was passed by a stupid, greedy Congress and signed into law by Marxist Bill Clinton. While I applaud Rep. Marcy Kaptur's bill (click here), never mind re-negotiating or get out - GET US OUT! This is the vehicle to implement a North American Union.

We are now starting to see the provisions kicking in at hyper speed to finally destroy these united States of America and let me lay it out crisp and clear:

The destruction of NAFTA was felt within the first 18 months and has continued to destroy our sovereignty and job bases ever since. In the first few years, over 4,000 factories closed down, small towns became dying towns. To date MILLIONS of jobs have been lost with more all the time because of the evil called out sourcing. America continues to lose in the fair trade arena; instead we are steadily being crushed by the evil of "free" trade. In 1995, American businesses were notified by the IRS that that under NAFTA, they would have to make all of their federal employment taxes by electronic transfer; view this document here. Why? The same reason we the people are being taxed to death to pay for new infrastructure inside Mexico: one world government. One worker base of three countries merged into one region, all under the same homogenized laws.

Despite the massive invasion of illegal aliens crossing over our borders, neither Marxist Bill Clinton or globalist George Bush, made any effort to stop it and millions of Americans - especially post 911 - simply could not understand why Bush has steadfastly refused to do what President Eisenhower did so effectively. Many of us who have been in the trenches for decades knew and now millions more know: a North American Union means just that. No borders, no sovereign nations, just one big region for these diabolically evil men and women who lust for raw power to rule over us and they don't care who they destroy on their path to supreme imperialism.

Earlier this year, another sword was thrust right at the heart of our American truckers and the safety of we the people: the Bush Administration pushed through the Mexican truck invasion. While outraged Americans and the truckers rallied and demanded this insanity not be allowed to roll onto U.S. soil past the 25-mile neutral zone, it has been pushed through anyway. Why? Because it's a provision of NAFTA. Please see the links below for history.

Back in August, I wrote a comprehensive piece titled, Stop the NAU/SPP - what does that really mean? It's all about money and power gained through anti-American trade policies. It's about flooding this republic with even more dangerous junk from sadistic, brutal communist countries like China. It is the epitaph of an American Republic if not stopped. As I wrote in previous columns about the Texas Trans Corridor and the NAU, this planned destruction of America didn't just crop up in 2005; it probably took at least ten years for the EIRs (Environmental Impact Reports/Statements) alone. Now it's gone into warp speed because millions of Americans have caught on and are on the war path.

Now I give you further proof of the perfidy of elected public servants. Please click here to see this document. This document is S.B. 1120, a bill passed in the Arizona State Legislature and signed by their governor in April, 1993. This legislation somehow got categorized as an emergency: "Sec. 5. Emergency. This act is an emergency measure that is necessary to preserve the public peace, health or safety and is operative immediately as provided by law."

This "emergency" bill was to: A. The office of Sonora is established in the office of the governor. Promote a greater understanding and facilitate the implementation of the north American free trade agreement and, 2. Facilitate the flow of information and act as a liaison in the establishment of commercial relationships between Sonora, Mexico and this state.

NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was not signed into law by Marxist Bill Clinton until December 8, 1993, yet this agreement between a state governor and a state in a foreign country was reached eight months before Clinton sold US out. So sure were the forces who own Washington, D.C., that they would get NAFTA passed - despite overwhelming opposition by we the people - agreements were already being entered into for trade far in advance of the vote by the U.S. Congress. How they must have laughed at we the people as we fought so hard to stop NAFTA.

In November, 2007, Sen. Karen Johnson and Rep. Russell Pearce, true constitutionalists who serve the people of Arizona with honor and the hearts of warriors, raised the question of the legality of this because the current Arizona governor, another flaky air head female, Janet Napolitano, entered into new agreements with the State of Sonora, Mexico. The documents below are short, but you need to read them because this is the cementing of the North American Union - all in the name of trade and big bucks for foreign countries and corporate giants in this country who have sold US out - raw and without apology.

November 15 News Release: Napolitano, Bours to strengthen regional opportunities. Binational Plenary to Bring Business, Education, Community Leaders Together. Phoenix – Governor Janet Napolitano and her Sonoran counterpart, Governor Eduardo Bours will unite members of the Arizona-Mexico Commission (AMC) and the Comisión Sonora-Arizona (CSA) in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora for a two-day binational meeting starting today."

November 16 News Release; Declaration of Cooperation: These four pages lay it all out and it means death to this Union. Governors Lead Border Region Economic Development, Growth - Public, Private Sectors from Ariz., Sonora Aim to Bolster Region

The push for a National ID is one of the major tools needed by this North American Union. It has nothing to do with terrorists, it has everything to do with tracking and following your every move - along with the integrated citizenry of Canada and Mexico with ours. The Arizona-Sonora Commission is taking credit for the 3-in-1 ID:

Phoenix - "Governor Janet Napolitano and U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff today signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to move forward on the creation of Arizona's 3-in-1 ID - a voluntary identification that complies with Arizona's driver's license standards, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) and can be used in the work eligibility process." Voluntary my arse. Read link number seven below.

Formerly American corporate giants and local entities are buying membership into the Arizona-Sonora Commission and I hope you will boycott their products and services starting today. Either we use our consumer dollars to fight off this massive effort to reduce our middle class to poverty and the poor into beggars or we have no one to blame but ourselves. Well, not me because I have stood my ground since 1994 regarding NAFTA and buying foreign products.

One more document: This is a letter from Napolitano and Brother Huckabee, who has fooled the Evangelical Christian Right with his folksy God-talk, to Michael Chertoff, Commissar of Fatherland Security. It reaffirms Brother Huck's commitment to implement the Nazi-style "Real ID." And, why wouldn't he? His newly appointed advisor on foreign policy is none other than Richard Haas, president of the treasonous Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) who believes our national sovereignty should be scraped in favor of world government. Make no mistake about it: Brother Huckabee has been kissed and blessed by the traitors working to destroy this republic. Not to mention the Huckster's coddling of illegals and his rolling out the welcome mat for a Mexican Consulate in Little Rock to help illegals stay in this country and steal jobs and classroom seats from Americans.

I have found more of these commissions with the State of Texas. No doubt California has also entered into them. The state legislatures all open for business next week in their new sessions as does Congress. NumbersUSA, ALIPAC and others have been phenomenally successful in leading the way in the fight against this illegals invasion. I sincerely believe we all need to put forth a massive push in January and keep the pressure on until we stop the NAU/SPP and NAFTA Super Highway. This massive illegals invasion and the NAU are integral to each other. I hope the aforementioned organizations will vigorously begin a massive campaign to join the rest of us to defeat this final push to destroy America as a free and independent nation.

Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) introduced a very important bill that did not get passed in Congress in the last session. We must demand the same bill gets reintroduced and demand Congress stop this now - right along with the states who haven't committed to rejecting the NAU. It's too late to stop the Texas Trans Corridor, although we can boycott using it and I will. But, we can and we must stop this treason. It will require an all out assault on the state legislatures and Congress.

There is no more time. The final pieces of the puzzle have emerged and these arrogant elitists think we are just going to sit back and allow our republic to be dissolved. They're badly mistaken. Please see Dr. Edwin Vieira's important legal analysis on this very issue (click here). I know time is an issue because we're under attack from a thousand stabs at us every day. However, this has to be our number one priority or everything else is going to be moot. The links below are web sites to help you get involved and become part of America's army of freedom fighters who are dead serious about stopping the NAU/SPP, the National ID (Sovietization of America), NAIS and the NAFTA Super Highway to Hell.

Yes, 911, bringing our troops home and so many more issues are vitally critical, but if we lose our sovereignty and allow any further erosion of our constitution and the Bill of Rights, we're going to be toast. This illegals invasion has been beyond devastating to this country. Bush and these other poltroons in Washington, D.C., have deliberately allowed us to be over run at the border because of their agenda and now they're dangerously close to firing the final shot. Stop buying foreign because you're funding our destruction. This whole rotten scheme is all about running American manufacturing and agriculture into oblivion and making us a nation dependent upon foreign countries for our very survival. Insanity! See link number 11 below for sources to more than 20,000 products and thousands of American companies who want your business.

Those who are wishing Happy New Year! as if 2008 is going to be just another year of corruption, high gas prices and Democrats fighting Republicans are in major denial. I know tonight is New Year's eve and everyone wants to go celebrate whatever. However, if you're not going out, I highly recommend you watch a movie. It's called ENDGAME: Blueprint for Global Enslavement - free on the Internet. Oh, it's not as "entertaining" as 'I am Legend' or some asinine "reality" show, but unlike these silly Hollywood movies and TV, this is as real as it gets. Hopefully, it will upset and anger Americans so that they finally see that we have little time left. Particularly horrifying in ENDGAME is the fully documented segment on eugenics. The Nazi's were deep into this race based social experimentation designed to improve the white race through eugenics or "creating a better world by improving the human gene pool." What do you think Planned Parenthood is for?

Get involved this week. No snow skiing. Forget a trip to Hawaii to lay around in the sun or play golf. We have to start our war against the NAU/SPP and the NAFTA Superhighway now. We must all make the commitment to refuse any National ID. Federal employees are sickened because their job depends on accepting one. They are being forced to give up their rights and privacy or kiss their job good bye. We must demand that Congress pass a bill immediately to get the U.S. out of the NAFTA treaty and stop that NAFTA Super Highway. This must be a top priority because it is the foundation from which all the rest of this treachery is being birthed. If we don't stop this, our children and grand children will have no future except as a peasant class serving their world masters and that is no exaggeration. Talk is cheap. What we need are warriors to get the job done. We have the numbers. We have to stay focused.

Friday, December 21^st 2007 — Christopher Hansen

Well, after years and years of writing government officials asking what a dollar is I finally got it. It is, surprisingly, a clear and unequivocal answer to the question: “What is a dollar.”

Senator John Ensign of Nevada sent me the ANSWER written in a report by the Congressional Research Service. The most important part of the answer is found on page three (page two of the answer) when it states:

Ballentines Law Dictionary, 3rd Edition (1969)

dollar. The legal currency of the United States; State v Downs, 148 Ind 324, 327 ; the unit of money consisting of one hundred cents. The aggregate of specific coins which add up to one dollar. 36 Am Jlst Money A§ 8. In the absence of qualifying words, it cannot mean promissory notes, bonds, or other evidences of debt. 36 AM Jlst Money A§ 8.

American Jurisprudence, Volume 36, A§ 8 he term “dollar” means money, since it is the unit of money in this country, and in the absence of qualifying words, it cannot mean promissory notes or bonds or other evidences of debt. The term also refers to specific coins of the value of one dollar. (27 Ohio Jur pp . 125, 126, A§ 3), (United States v. Van Auken, 96 US 366, 24 L ed 852)

Then the report defines Federal reserve notes:

Black’s Law, Second Pocket Edition (1996)

Federal Reserve Note

Federal reserve note. The paper currency in circulation in the United States. The notes are issued by the Federal Reserve Banks, are effectively non-interest-bearing promissory notes payable to bearer on demand, and are issued in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000.

“Payable” in what? In dollars of course. You cannot pay with a “promissory note”.

Therefore it is VERY CLEAR that Federal reserve notes ARE NOT dollars but should be able to be redeemed in “dollars.” FRNs, however, cannot, presently, be redeemed in “money” but only in other notes. Remember that the “term ‘dollar’ means money” which CANNOT BE promissory notes according to the report.

Therefore, whenever you receive Federal reserve notes (promissory notes) issued in any “$” denominations you should calculate their “value” in REAL “dollars” such as the report describes as:

DOLLAR. The unit employed in the United States in*calculating money values.* Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th Edition Revised (1957)

If you are a Nevada citizen I highly recommend that you contact Senator Ensign’s Las Vegas office at (702) 388-6605 and ask Special Assistant Mary Mason, to please send you a copy of the Congressional Research Service “report” concerning the definition of what a dollar is.

If you are in another State of this Union I highly recommend that you copy this letter from Senator Ensign’s office and ask YOUR Senator or Representative to send you a copy of the Congressional Research Service “report” concerning the definition of what a dollar is.

Then, if I were you, I would send this “report” to the IRS and tell them that you are relying on this report from your Congressman as to what a “dollar” is and that you now know that a Federal reserve note is a “promissory note” and cannot be a dollar and so you will calculate the “value” of “Federal reserve notes” by the fair market “value” of the silver Liberty dollar coins.

I would tell them that you will do this unless the IRS can show you the LAW, not the IRS’s opinion or the Department of the Treasury’s opinion, but the law that clearly and unequivocally states that a Federal reserve note has been defined by Congress to be a “dollar” and not just “promissory notes” or “debt instruments” or “legal tender” (pennies are legal tender and not dollars) that are “issued in denominations” of “$s”.

It is clear that these silver Liberty dollar coins, authorized by Congress at 31 USC Sec. 5112 (e) with the “value” of a dollar as per 31 USC Sec. 5112 (d)(1), meet all the legal requirements to be dollars as per the “report” while Federal reserve notes issued in various denominations of $s do not meet ANY of the legal requirements of a dollar but only those of, possibly, United States Securities and/or legal tender as per 31 USC Sec. 5103. But since they cannot be redeemed in “dollars” you are not even sure they meet those standards.

We Americans SHOULD have the right to know what the value of a dollar is in clear and unequivocal terms since, if we are liable for a tax by clear and unequivocal language, we must be able to calculate that tax using: “The unit (dollar) employed in the United States in calculating money values.” Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th Edition Revised (1957) (See report). Because if we cannot use the dollar to calculate “income” (whatever that is) then we CANNOT know the “value” of whatever we accepted as payment.

Keeping in mind the well-settled rule that the citizen is exempt from taxation unless the same is imposed by clear and unequivocal language, and that where the construction of a tax law is doubtful, the doubt is to be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid… Spreckels Sugar Refining Co. v. McClain,192 U.S. 397, 24 S.Ct. 376, 418, U.S. 1904

It is time to stand up against the Federal Reserve Bankster’s tyranny. This is your chance to do something. It may not be a lot but it is an opportunity to do something to stop this Federal Reserve Bank taxation (inflation is a tax) without representation. Did you elect the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank? NO! Does Congress audit the Federal Reserve Bank? NO! Is the Federal Reserve Bank the establishment of the Second Plank of the Communist manifesto? YES? Is the Income Tax the Establishment of the Second Plank of the Communist Manifesto? YES. Is Communism a religion? Professors and religious organizations around the country say that it is.

Stand up. Get a copy of the report from your Congressman/ Senator! Do it today.

And please forward a copy of what you receive to Christopher Hansen either by scanning it in and emailing it to me at Christopher@independentamerican.org or mailing it to me at
