font-size: 180%;"&gt;But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.    For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.  Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.  For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.  The last enemy to be destroyed is death.  For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.   When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything  under him, so that God may be all in all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2532553725334352481-1536730284559737510?l=thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/feeds/1536730284559737510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2532553725334352481&amp;postID=1536730284559737510' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/1536730284559737510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/1536730284559737510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/2010/09/knowledge-to-be-comforted-by.html' title='Knowledge To Be Comforted By'/><author><name>RA S</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532553725334352481.post-3754389146078124857</id><published>2010-07-10T15:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T15:28:15.032-07:00</updated><title type='text'>When History Repeats..........Nazi Germany vs America........</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;It's time America wakeup to what is going on around them. God will not help a people who will not help themselves to the truth when obvious lying is all around them. It happened to the people of Germany. The consequence was the total destruction of whole nations including their own as well as the radical extermination of 6 million people. This time my belief is that it will include all Christians for extermination. And then God will answer. We know that this will happen eventually. What God has spoken will be made manifest. It's all about separating the wheat from the chaff, the Godly from the Wicked, the believer from the unbeliever for Gods purpose. But if we ignore what is happening around us, we only hasten Gods purposed outcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9VomT1Jae5g&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;On February 27, 1933, after Hitler came to power, the Nazis burned down the Berlin Reichstag (Parliament) building and blamed it on Communist terrorists to justify a “temporary” suspension of civil liberties to cope with the terrorist threat. This is how Hitler became an absolute dictator. The “temporary” suspension of freedom lasted until Germany was in ruins.&lt;br /&gt;The Reichstag fire was the key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship. On Feb. 28, 1933, the day after the fire, Hitler’s dictatorship began with the enactment of a decree “for the Protection of the People and the State,” which dispensed with all constitutional protection of political, personal, and property rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Reichstag fire was a disaster for Communists because they received the blame for starting it, but it was a dream come true for Hitler and his cohorts as it allowed them to turn Germany into a dictatorship and mobilize support for the invasion of neighbouring countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the Bush administration try the same trick on September 11, 2001? If they didn’t, you have to admit that the similarities are uncanny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vvz-uqa7Soc&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;showsearch=0&amp;amp;showinfo=1&amp;amp;iv_load_policy=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yes, torture is now ok although it is against the Constitution.  Assassinating anyone is ok, so long as the President declares him a  terrorist. No habeas corpus, no need for due process, throw out the  innocent until proven guilty law…. America is fallen. It is quite clear  for those who study history that Homeland Security and the Patriot  Act are about terrorizing Americans. They originate from Nazi Germany. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_poovey_013003_homeland.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It was what Hitler did&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;. Adolph Hitler, writing  about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.commondreams.org/views02/1121-03.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;creation of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;“An evil exists that threatens  every man, woman and child of this great nation,” the leader of another  country once wrote. “We must take steps to ensure our domestic security  and protect our homeland.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;How did a virtually unknown corporal become Führer in the  1920s-1930s? Hitler and Mussolini were financed by Wall Street  banksters. Obama, the virtual unknown, is also a tool of the Zionist  Synagogue of Satan Wall Street banksters. These Illuminists are using  the Weimar Republic… Nazi Germany script to destroy America.  America will be transformed, much like Germany was, into a militaristic  state to start World War 3. When America is no longer useful, she will  be destroyed. Similarly, Zionist Israel is being used as an ally of  America in the middle east, for fascist militaristic aggression against  the Muslim world. Zionist Israel is being setup for another horrific  fall/holocaust. A Satanic blood sacrifice, burnt offering to fallen  angelic beings/demons. Please wake up! Please wake up!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Fascism/Nazification_GermanyvsAmer.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;Nazification of  Germany vs. Nazification of America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);font-size:130%;" &gt;Phase 2&lt;br /&gt;An Atrocity to Subdue the People&lt;br /&gt;February 27, 1933&lt;br /&gt;The Reichstag Fire&lt;br /&gt;On the night the German Parliament Building–the Reichstag– burned down, Hitler was at Goebbels’s apartment having dinner. They rushed to the scene where they met Göring who was already screaming false charges and making threats against the Communists. At first glance, Hitler described the fire as a beacon from heaven. “You are now witnessing the beginning of a great epoch in German history. . . This fire is the beginning,” Hitler told a news reporter at the scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While not all historians agree on who actually perpetrated the Reichstag Fire, writers such as Klaus P. Fischer feel that most likely the Nazis were responsible. A dazed Dutch Communist named Marinus van der Lubbe was found at the scene and charged with arson. He was later found guilty and executed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On February 28, 1933–the day after the Reichstag fire–President Hindenburg and Chancellor Hitler invoked Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, which permitted the suspension of civil liberties in time of national emergency. A Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State abrogated the following German constitutional protections:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free expression of opinion&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of the press&lt;br /&gt;Right of assembly and association&lt;br /&gt;Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications&lt;br /&gt;Protection against unlawful searches and seizures&lt;br /&gt;Individual property rights&lt;br /&gt;States’ right of self-government&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A supplemental decree created the SA (Storm Troops) and SS (Special Security) Federal police agencies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phase 2&lt;br /&gt;An Atrocity to Subdue the People&lt;br /&gt;September 11, 2001&lt;br /&gt;The Terrorist Attacks&lt;br /&gt;When the Word Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked, Bush was reading to grade school children in Florida. When informed of the attack by his associates , he continued reading. He then flew to a security bunker in Nebraska before finally returning to the White House. No military aircraft had been scrambled to intercept the four hijacked planes, though there was plenty of time to do so. The fact that there has been no genuine investigation into the 9/11 terrorist attack on American citizens creates the odor of a cover-up of gigantic proportions. Some news analysts point to the possibility that the Bush administration could have been complicit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hundreds of suspects were immediately jailed, without benefit of habeas corpus or other rights. Some of these suspects have already been found guilty of the crime. The Bush junta forced the Patriot Act bill through Congress, suspending essential civil liberties. Excusing oppression as essential to the “war on terrorism,” and maintaining that dissent was treason. The Patriot Act abrogated the following American constitutional protections:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free expression of opinion&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of the press&lt;br /&gt;Right of assembly and association&lt;br /&gt;Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications&lt;br /&gt;Protection against unlawful searches and seizures&lt;br /&gt;Individual property rights&lt;br /&gt;States’ right of self-government&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presidential decrees make it possible for military forces to be used to monitor and control the civilian population, in abrogation of the posse comitatus act. The Reichstag Fire Syndrome occurs whenever a democracy is destroyed by creating a law-and-order crisis and offering as a “solution” the abdication of civil liberties and state’s rights to a powerful but unaccountable central dictator. The men of wealth who put the tyrant into power are then able to reap obscene war profits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Book Of Daniel and Revelation have parallel accounts of the following:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;19. "Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;(is this the United States of America?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;20. "and about the ten horns that were on its head, and about the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(is this a reference to the Martial Law plans that Obama signed on January 11th, 2010 that divide the nation into 10 Provinces and a picture of the President leading them?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;21.

"Thus he said: `The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(Is this the United States undergoing military operations across the globe?) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;24.

That is not to say they actually believe in God, but having evolved with power and riches, they have bought themselves into believing that like god they too can thrust mankind in the direction that is most befitting the human race as a whole.  The working sheeple are so busy with their lives that they have lost touch with God to the point of following false gods.  The unemployed are actually in a better state because joblessness allows time to ponder the difference between God and god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember back in the 80's sitting in the Ready Room of HS-5 on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower watching the Headline News on CNN, the early years.  Even then they were molding our minds to focus on ALL THE NEWS.  What a brain wash.  Now there are so many news sources on cable, dish or direct tv you would think there would be an advantage.  Were there ever any real journalists?  Power and money have bought the first amendment right out from under us.  The news services today are akin to the unholy spirit as the Holy Spirit is akin the Kingdom of Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I resign myself from further postings on this blog for it is tantamount to "pissing in the wind".  I rest now with the sweet notion and understanding that Gods vengeance is close at hand, even if its being brought about by gods of wrath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the servants of god I say good luck.  To the servants of God I say, "God bless you"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a last ditch effort on my part for those blinded by the previous decade of lies and deceit I attempt once more to awaken you to what one man knew existed and told us to our face almost 50 years ago.  With the events of the last decade it has become painfully obvious to what he was referring.  George H. W. Bush said he can't remember where he was when this man was assassinated.  That's funny.  I was only 5 years old when it happened and I cried upon hearing the news on my dads radio in our house on the island of Aruba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4_4DnilEnF8&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4_4DnilEnF8&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, because the devil shut the mouth of Kennedy he has been working diligently to take as many of mankind with him as he can.

The combined company will operate under a new name: PositiveID.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The all-stock transaction will leave PositiveID in charge of a burgeoning empire of identity, health and microchip implant businesses that will only encourage its critics. BNET previously noted that some regard the company as part of a prophecy in the Book of Revelation (because the HealthLink chip carries an RFID number that can be used as both money and proof of ID) or as part of President Obama’s secret Nazi plan to enslave America.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The most obvious criticism to be made of the deal is that it potentially allows PositiveID to link or cross-check patient health records (from the HealthLink chip) to people’s credit scores. One assumes that the company will put up firewalls to prevent that. PositiveID CEO Scott Silverman said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“PositiveID will be the first company of its kind to combine a successful identity security business with one of the world’s first personal health records through our Health Link business. PositiveID will address some of the most important issues affecting our society today with our identification tools and technologies for consumers and businesses.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unless, of course, consumers don’t actually want to be implanted with chips, have their health records available over the internet, or have their medical records linked to their credit scores.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soon we will all have to make a choice.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sUByhFfxvao&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/rfid-microchipping-to-begin-in-36-months-under-new-health-bill/" title="Permalink to RFID Microchipping To Begin In 36 Months Under New Health Bill ?!"&gt;RFID Microchipping To Begin In 36 Months Under New Health Bill ?!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;                                  &lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;&lt;div id="attachment_9272" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 265px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://socioecohistory.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/implantable_chip.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-9272  " title="Implantable_Chip" src="http://socioecohistory.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/implantable_chip.jpg?w=255&amp;amp;h=279" alt="" width="255" height="279" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="wp-caption-text"&gt;Source: http://www.verichipcorp.com/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;I have warned frequently in the past few months, the PTB intends to microchip all Americans using deception and subtlety. This health care bill H.R. 3200 is about control and complete takeover by the fascist government. It is about eugenics, taking over your bank accounts and giving the government unlimited powers. Americans will be subjected to nationwide RFID microchipping as the first nation to test run the coming ‘666′ system to control all buying and selling. All the ‘bugs’ will be ironed out using Americans as guinea pigs. Many people who refuse to accept this, will be branded ‘terrorist’, anti government provocateurs, criminals … and will conveniently ‘disappear’!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;My dear American friends: please wake up, please wake up! The Satanic cabal intends to use you as cannon fodder for their world conquest, New World Order, Global Fascist Police State. The MSM is lulling all of you into sleep. Your country is being ‘raped’ by Illuminati banksters and is quickly turning into the new Nazi regime of the 21st century!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;What we are seeing is the rise of the ‘Mystery Babylon Whore’ of Revelation.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:1-6&amp;amp;version=NKJV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;Revelation 17:1-6 (New King James Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me,&lt;sup&gt;[a]&lt;/sup&gt; “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast &lt;em&gt;which was&lt;/em&gt; full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. &lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.&lt;sup&gt;[b]&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; And on her forehead a name &lt;em&gt;was&lt;/em&gt; written: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Ron Branson &lt;a href="http://republicbroadcasting.org/?p=7711" target="_blank"&gt;writes&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The new Health Care Bill, H.R. 3200, just passed by Congress has within it the requirement that all people thereunder shall be microchiped. The plans for this microchipping has been in the hooper going back to December of 2004.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Witness the actual FDA (Food and Drug Administration) document dated December 10, 2004 entitled “Class II Special Guidance Document: Implantable Radiofrequency Transponder System for Patient Identification and Health Information. This ten page document may be read on the FDA website at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm072191.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;here!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now witness the wording within H.R. 3200, “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009” found on Congresses’ House Ways and Means website, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;here!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On page 1001 is “Subtitle C – National Medical Device Registry” which states,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;“The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that … is or has been used in or on a patient…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In other words, everyone microchipped pursuant to the new Health Care Bill must be registered with the Secretary. The “Secretary” is defined as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The date by which this registry is to begin is mandated on page 1006, which is 36 months after the Health Bill becomes law.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(2) EFFECTIVE DATE.&lt;/strong&gt; – The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall establish and begin implementation of the registry under section 519(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as added by paragraph (1) by not later than the date that is 36 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, without regard to whether or not final regulations to establish and operate the registry have been promulgated by such date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Therefore, under the law of H.R. 3200 recently passed by Congress, microchipping of Americans &lt;strong&gt;must&lt;/strong&gt; begin by the year 2013.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I cite to my often quoted Biblical Scripture in &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Revelation 13:16 and 17, “And he [the AntiChrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Numerous times I have stated that our current Income Tax system shall be replaced with a tax upon all trade, and that everyone will have automatically deducted from every transaction of buying and selling a tax. But this tax is not the significant part. Along with this government-granted “privilege” of buying and selling, will be the required worship of the Man of Sin, that every knee shall bow and that every tongue shall confess that he is god to the glory of himself. Those refusing shall be certainly executed post haste!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now you know what is behind the new Health Bill, H.R. 3200.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7nD7dbkkBIA&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;li&gt;The method is always subtlety and deception. First, they enact a law that allows them to microchip everybody and create a national registry. Of course, if they were to say publicly that this is the ‘Mark of the Beast – 666′, everyone will protest and reject it. They leave the legislation ’open ended’ ie with plausible deniability: it is really for dementia patients, patients with life threatening diseases…etc..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Finally, they create a crisis say: sudden outbreak of deadly flu. So, to identify who is vaccinated, people will be microchipped! The RFID microchipping of all Americans have been planned for many years. Wake up people! Wake up! Watch the video, listen to Aaron Russo! Quote:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;‘The ultimate goal of these people.. have in mind … is the goal to … create a one world government run by the banking industry …run by the bankers …and they are doing it in sections …. The whole agenda is to create a one world government where everybody has an RFID chip implanted.. total control… and you become a slave …. I met Rockefeller … he was a very very smart man …. he is the one who told me 11 months before 9/11 happen that there was going to be an event …. (he told you it was going to be a hoax) … This whole war on terror is a fraud …’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The word of God instructs us to adhere to all authorities on earth." The word of God does instruct us to obey the laws of the land and "be subject to the higher power." Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. As is always the case, truth is to be found only in "the sum of God's Word," and the "sum of God's word" and the actions of God's own apostles is that whenever the events of this life demand that we choose between obeying God or obeying the powers that He has ordained, that choice, for any spiritually minded man is not really that hard to make. Whenever we find ourselves in that situation we should always "obey God rather than man." Psa 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endures for ever. (ASV) Act 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Act 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that you should not teach in Christs name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pay your taxes, keep the speed limit and be subject to every ordinance of man that does not require you to disobey God. But when confronted with having to obey the ordinances of men which conflict with the commandments of God, "obey God rather than man."  The time is fast approaching when the faith of Gods elect will be put to the test.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It troubles me when the obvious, (backed by scripture), is so easily discounted by people who in their own earthly wisdom become as fools leading the rest of mankind down a path of destruction to placate to their own vanities. Aarron Russo made perfectly clear what was coming. He is a witness before 911, Iraq and Afganistan became facts, who is being ignored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Military grade thermite found in the rubble of the WTC's is a fact. WTC building 7 was a demolition.  That being the case it is plausible to beleive that if building 7 had explosives planted in it before hand the other buildings would also have been set up for demolition in the same fashion the difference being the aircraft dedicated to them made their respective targets. The aircraft that didn't make its target crashed or was shot down. In any case it missed its mark, building 7 so&lt;br /&gt;excuse was made to bring it down and limited media coverage to keep the questions to a minimum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's most recent signing of Marshall Law Executive Order on Monday, January 11, 2010 will divide the United States into 10 Provinces. That should send a chill up the spine of even the most average bible student who knows anything about the biblical prophecy about the 10 Kings given power for one hour along with the beast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 17:12&lt;br /&gt;"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the time comes the United States will be divided into 10 Provinces in accordance with the press release: OBAMA SETTING UP ONE WOLRD GOVERNMENT? 10 GOVERNORS TO RULE WITH HIM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is allowed to believe a lie because God is allowing it to happen. The current sinful generation is the victim of its growing sinful state. Nothing will slow this monster destruction of mankind until Jesus Christ himself returns to shorten the days of mankinds self destruction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up...or suffer the

Roberts tells the truth as it is. What he says is definitely worth reading. America has fallen and it does not look like things will get better. Paul C. Roberts:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;There was a time when the pen was mightier than the sword. That was a time when people believed in truth and regarded truth as an independent power and not as an auxiliary for government, class, race, ideological, personal, or financial interest. Today, Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is an unwelcome entity. It is disturbing. It is off limits. Those who speak it run the risk of being branded “anti-American,” “anti-semite” or “conspiracy theorist.” Truth is an inconvenience for government and for the interest groups whose campaign contributions control government. Truth is an inconvenience for prosecutors who want convictions, not the discovery of innocence or guilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth is inconvenient for ideologues. Today, many whose goal once was the discovery of truth are now paid handsomely to hide it. “Free market economists” are paid to sell offshoring to the American people. High-productivity, high value-added American jobs are denigrated as dirty, old industrial jobs. Relicts from long ago, we are best shed of them. Their place has been taken by “the New Economy,” a mythical economy that allegedly consists of high-tech white collar jobs in which Americans innovate and finance activities that occur offshore. All Americans need in order to participate in this “new economy” are finance degrees from Ivy League universities, and then they will work on Wall Street at million dollar jobs. Economists who were once respectable took money to contribute to this myth of “the New Economy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And not only economists sell their souls for filthy lucre. Recently we have had reports of medical doctors who, for money, have published in peer-reviewed journals concocted “studies” that hype this or that new medicine produced by pharmaceutical companies that paid for the “studies.” The Council of Europe is investigating the drug companies’ role in hyping a false swine flu pandemic in order to gain billions of dollars in sales of the vaccine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media helped the US military hype its recent Marja offensive in Afghanistan, describing Marja as a city of 80,000 under Taliban control. It turns out that Marja is not urban but a collection of village farms. And there is the global warming scandal, in which NGOs. the UN, and the nuclear industry colluded in concocting a doomsday scenario in order to create profit in pollution. Wherever one looks, truth has fallen to money. Wherever money is insufficient to bury the truth, ignorance, propaganda, and short memories finish the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember when, following CIA director William Colby’s testimony before the Church Committee in the mid-1970s, presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan issued executive orders preventing the CIA and U.S. black-op groups from assassinating foreign leaders. In 2010 the US Congress was told by Dennis Blair, head of national intelligence, that the US now assassinates its own citizens in addition to foreign leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Blair told the House Intelligence Committee that US citizens no longer needed to be arrested, charged, tried, and convicted of a capital crime, just murdered on suspicion alone of being a “threat,” he wasn’t impeached. No investigation pursued. Nothing happened. There was no Church Committee. In the mid-1970s the CIA got into trouble for plots to kill Castro. Today it is American citizens who are on the hit list. Whatever objections there might be don’t carry any weight. No one in government is in any trouble over the assassination of U.S. citizens by the U.S. government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an economist, I am astonished that the American economics profession has no awareness whatsoever that the U.S. economy has been destroyed by the offshoring of U.S. GDP to overseas countries. U.S. corporations, in pursuit of absolute advantage or lowest labor costs and maximum CEO “performance bonuses,” have moved the production of goods and services marketed to Americans to China, India, and elsewhere abroad. When I read economists describe offshoring as free trade based on comparative advantage, I realize that there is no intelligence or integrity in the American economics profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intelligence and integrity have been purchased by money. The transnational or global U.S. corporations pay multi-million dollar compensation packages to top managers, who achieve these “performance awards” by replacing U.S. labor with foreign labor. While Washington worries about “the Muslim threat,” Wall Street, U.S. corporations and “free market” shills destroy the U.S. economy and the prospects of tens of millions of Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans, or most of them, have proved to be putty in the hands of the police state. Americans have bought into the government’s claim that security requires the suspension of civil liberties and accountable government. Astonishingly, Americans, or most of them, believe that civil liberties, such as habeas corpus and due process, protect “terrorists,” and not themselves. Many also believe that the Constitution is a tired old document that prevents government from exercising the kind of police state powers necessary to keep Americans safe and free. Most Americans are unlikely to hear from anyone who would tell them any different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was associate editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal. I was Business Week’s first outside columnist, a position I held for 15 years. I was columnist for a decade for Scripps Howard News Service, carried in 300 newspapers. I was a columnist for the Washington Times and for newspapers in France and Italy and for a magazine in Germany. I was a contributor to the New York Times and a regular feature in the Los Angeles Times. Today I cannot publish in, or appear on, the American “mainstream media.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the last six years I have been banned from the “mainstream media.” My last column in the New York Times appeared in January, 2004, coauthored with Democratic U.S. Senator Charles Schumer representing New York. We addressed the offshoring of U.S. jobs. Our op-ed article produced a conference at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. and live coverage by C-Span. A debate was launched. No such thing could happen today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years, I was a mainstay at the Washington Times, producing credibility for the Moony newspaper as a Business Week columnist, former Wall Street Journal editor, and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury. But when I began criticizing Bush’s wars of aggression, the order came down to Mary Lou Forbes to cancel my column.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American corporate media does not serve the truth. It serves the government and the interest groups that empower the government.&lt;br /&gt;America’s fate was sealed when the public and the anti-war movement bought the government’s 9/11 conspiracy theory. The government’s account of 9/11 is contradicted by much evidence. Nevertheless, this defining event of our time, which has launched the US on interminable wars of aggression and a domestic police state, is a taboo topic for investigation in the media. It is pointless to complain of war and a police state when one accepts the premise upon which they are based.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These trillion dollar wars have created financing problems for Washington’s deficits and threaten the U.S. dollar’s role as world reserve currency. The wars and the pressure that the budget deficits put on the dollar’s value have put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block. Former Goldman Sachs chairman and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson is after these protections for the elderly. Fed chairman Bernanke is also after them. The Republicans are after them as well. These protections are called “entitlements” as if they are some sort of welfare that people have not paid for in payroll taxes all their working lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With over 21 per cent unemployment as measured by the methodology of 1980, with American jobs, GDP, and technology having been given to China and India, with war being Washington’s greatest commitment, with the dollar over-burdened with debt, with civil liberty sacrificed to the “war on terror,” the liberty and prosperity of the American people have been thrown into the trash bin of history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The militarism of the U.S. and Israeli states, and Wall Street and corporate greed, will now run their course. As the pen is censored and its might extinguished, I am signing off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2532553725334352481-2132981535974656073?l=thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/feeds/2132981535974656073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2532553725334352481&amp;postID=2132981535974656073' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/2132981535974656073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/2132981535974656073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/2010/03/for-this-reason-god-sends-powerful.html' title='For This Reason God Sends Powerful Delusion On America And The World'/><author><name>RA S</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532553725334352481.post-3983726477207736855</id><published>2010-03-23T09:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T09:52:54.010-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dr. Alan Sabrosky, Ex-Director of Studies At The US Army War College: The US Military Knows MOSSAD and Traitorous Elements in US Government did 9/11 !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMsdNl_13q4&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HMsdNl_13q4&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lJIJjwoYAU&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;Part 2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHIFk2qlzNI&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;Part 3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfkOxg3bI6Q&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;Part 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;9/11 was an inside job.

He was a world class tyrant, but the evil actually done by the Third Reich, from the slave-labor camps to WW2 was all done by German citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not, and who because they did not want to admit to themselves that they were afraid to question the government, refused to see the truth behind the Reichstag Fire, refused to see the invasion by Poland was a staged fake, and followed Hitler into national disaster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;But in truth, by the 1930s, the German people had become civilized and tamed, culturally obsessed with fine details in both science and society. Their self-image of bravery was both salve and slavery. Germans were required to behave as if they were brave, even when they were not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The reality was that the German people, as individuals, had lost their courage. The German government preferred it that way as a fearful people are easier to rule than a courageous one. But the German people didn't wish to lose their self-image of courage. So, when confronted with a situation demanding individual courage, in the form of a government gone wrong, the German people simply pretended that the situation did not exist. And in that simple self-deception lay the ruin of an entire nation and the coming of the second World War.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

off before the airplanes hit the buildings. Numerous eye-witnesses report explosions at the base of building. 9/11 was an inside job. The WTC Towers were brought down by controlled demolition. (Note: WTC Tower 7 was not hit by an airplane, yet it came crashing down!)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;It is a false flag operation to give the Neo-Cons their ‘Pearl Habour’ event to launch massive wars in the middle east. Their real objectives are: Oil, oil pipeline infrastructures and drugs (See: &lt;a href="http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-02-28/afghanistan-drug-heroin-nato.html" target="_blank"&gt;Russia lashes out at NATO for not fighting Afghan drug production&lt;/a&gt;). Iraq was clearly for oil. Afghanistan is for opium and the oil pipeline infrastructure. Whoever controls oil rules the world. The coming war with Iran is also about oil and world hegemony. By conquering Iran the Illuminati elite can effectively ‘conquer’ China and the rest of Asia.

This film exposes how every major war in US history was based on a complete fraud with video of insiders themselves admitting it. This film shows how the first film theaters in the US were used over a hundred years ago to broadcast propaganda to rile the American people into the Spanish-American War. This film shows the white papers of the oil company Unocal which called for the creation of a pipeline through Afghanistan and how their exact needs were fulfilled through the US invasion of Afghanistan. This film shows how Halliburton under their "cost plus" exclusive contract with the US Government went on a mad dash spending spree akin to something out of the movie Brewster's Millions, yet instead of blowing $30 million they blew through BILLIONS by literally burning millions of dollars worth of hundred thousand dollar cars and trucks if they had so much as a flat tire. "A stunning film. It should be seen as widely as possible, in cinemas, bars, clubs, at meetings and, of course, through the internet. I'm sure the film will continue to be a source of debate and political education for many years. Maybe until the war criminals have been brought to trial." - Ken Loach While Massimo Mazzucco’s first political documentary, GLOBAL DECEIT (2006), focused on the long list of inconsistencies in the official version of the 9/11 attacks, THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY explores the historical, philosophical and economic background that suggests a matrix for such events that is much closer to home than the so-called "Islamic terrorism". The film provides solid evidence for the true reasons behind the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, whose unfolding is described in chilling detail in a document called "Project for the New American Century", published in the year 2,000, that seems to have served as the actual blueprint for such dramatic events.«&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Disclaimer: The above is a matter of opinion provided for general information purposes only and is not intended as investment advice.

Bush a "failed statesman"? Some think so and argue moreover that his behavior has been so flagitious that if American democracy were the least bit healthy, Bush wouldn't even have been offered for reelection in the first place. If true, is this more a failure of the Republican Party or the American electorate? Perhaps both... &lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-1335417,00.html"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Times&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; publishes the following editorial:  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;i&gt;The primary function of democracy is not to elect good leaders, since nobody can predict in advance how a politician will perform. It is to eject leaders who have manifestly failed. The ability to remove leaders who turn out to be corrupt, dangerous, outrageously dishonest or manifestly incompetent is the primary privilege and duty of any democracy. And if any leader in our lifetime deserved to be ejected by voters, regardless of their ideology or political persuasion, it is surely President Bush.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Anatole Kaletsky offers the following to support the idea that Bush shouldn't even be an option in the election, much less someone who stands a good chance of winning: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;i&gt;He inherited a prosperous, peaceful, law-abiding country which was universally admired around the world. He promised, if elected, to govern as a “compassionate conservative”, to end partisan confrontation in Washington and to run a “humble” foreign policy which would respect other countries and show restraint in the use of America’s global power.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;i&gt;Four years later, he presides over a struggling economy, the steepest four-year loss of jobs since the Great Depression, and now has the biggest budget deficits and trade imbalances on record. Far worse, he started an unnecessary war on false pretences and mismanaged it so disastrously that the instability of the Middle East is probably now a greater danger to world peace than the Soviet Union was during the Cold War. The President has failed in his primary military mission of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden and destroying al-Qaeda.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;i&gt;To make matters worse, Mr Bush has failed in all these tasks, while breaking every promise he made about his character and leadership style. Instead of running a bipartisan government of national unity, he has been the most ideological, divisive and extremist leader America has ever seen. Instead of showing humility in his international dealings, his punitive and aggressive foreign policies — not only against Iraq but also against North Korea, Venezuela, Iran and even Germany and France — have transformed America into the most hated country on earth. Instead of respecting the primacy of the US Constitution, he has imprisoned thousands of people without trial or charge — many no doubt dangerous terrorists, but some presumably just ordinary people caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Kaletsky thus asks: if Americans cannot vote against a person with Bush's record, what would it take to remove someone from office? Just how bad do they have to be? It's also worth wondering whether Americans can be convinced to keep anyone in office merely on talk of "war" and how it's inappropriate to change leaders in a time of war. If that is the case, then any president (or party) can stay in office merely by maintaining a continual state of war. &lt;/p&gt;Does this sound far-fetched? Well, the Bush administration acts like the war on terrorism is a "real" war despite the fact that, as a tactic, terrorism is not something that can be "defeated" like an enemy state. A war on terrorism promises to be as perpetual as the War on Drugs or the War on Poverty.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2532553725334352481-9066121758066693308?l=thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/feeds/9066121758066693308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2532553725334352481&amp;postID=9066121758066693308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/9066121758066693308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/9066121758066693308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/2008/05/reject-this-failed-statesman.html' title='Reject This Failed Statesman'/><author><name>RA S</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532553725334352481.post-2068533530276338933</id><published>2008-05-09T12:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-09T12:55:49.462-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush Wanted To Invade Iraq Since 1999</title><content type='html'>Apparently George W. Bush began thinking about invading Iraq as far back as 1999. Why? Because he thought a tidy little war would produce enough political capital for him to do anything he wanted back home - and give him a nice reputation as president. Is that appropriate for the President? Should he put his reputation over the lives of others?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russ Baker writes for GNN:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   “He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Herskowitz said that Bush expressed frustration at a lifetime as an underachiever in the shadow of an accomplished father. In aggressive military action, he saw the opportunity to emerge from his father’s shadow. The moment, Herskowitz said, came in the wake of the September 11 attacks. “Suddenly, he’s at 91 percent in the polls, and he’d barely crawled out of the bunker.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Herskowitz also revealed the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   -In 2003, Bush’s father indicated to him that he disagreed with his son’s invasion of Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   -Bush admitted that he failed to fulfill his Vietnam-era domestic National Guard service obligation, but claimed that he had been “excused.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   -Bush revealed that after he left his Texas National Guard unit in 1972 under murky circumstances, he never piloted a plane again. That casts doubt on the carefully-choreographed moment of Bush emerging in pilot’s garb from a jet on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 to celebrate “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq. The image, instantly telegraphed around the globe, and subsequent hazy White House statements about his capacity in the cockpit, created the impression that a heroic Bush had played a role in landing the craft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   -Bush described his own business ventures as “floundering” before campaign officials insisted on recasting them in a positive light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can Herskowitz be believed? Josh Marshall thinks so:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   He's a Bush family friend. He's co-written numerous 'as-told-to' autobiographies for a slew of famous folks. He was hired to co-author President Bush's campaign autobiography A Charge to Keep. And even after there were some bumps in the road in that process, the president's father asked Herskowitz to write a biography of his father -- i.e., Prescott Bush, which he did (see Duty, Honor, Country: The Life and Legacy of Prescott Bush, 2003). On top of that, the author of the piece, Russ Baker, is a journalist with an excellent reputation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herskowitz is credible. Baker is credible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If what is reported in this article is true, George W. Bush might be considered one of the worst possible people to have held the office of President of the United States. A man who would consider invading a sovereign nation, even Iraq, in order to build political capital and advance a domestic agenda, is unfit for any public office. If over a thousand Americans and over 100,000 Iraqis died simply to help Bush fulfill his dreams of creating a "successful presidency," the man should be sent to jail rather than sent back to the White House for a second term.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2532553725334352481-2068533530276338933?l=thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/feeds/2068533530276338933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2532553725334352481&amp;postID=2068533530276338933' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/2068533530276338933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/2068533530276338933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/2008/05/bush-wanted-to-invade-iraq-since-1999.html' title='Bush Wanted To Invade Iraq Since 1999'/><author><name>RA S</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532553725334352481.post-8165203243694265576</id><published>2008-02-25T17:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-25T19:23:23.647-08:00</updated><title type='text'>911:  Another Step Towards The Captivity Of Man</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;When one stands in the middle of a forest all you see are the trees around you. To see the forest one needs to step out of the forest at a distance to really see it. Likewise, when we work day in and day out we tend to take in things we see along the way without really stepping out on our own to find the truth. So we tend to settle for being spoon fed and hope that what we are told is truth because the Good Lord knows its back to the salt mines and back to managing that sizable debt through our work efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to be like you. I took a lot of pride in my work ethic. Briefly, I have worked in the food restaurant and hotel service industry, Security, newspaper, grocery, military, military contractor and civilian aircraft maintenance. And through it all I have come to understand two things. 1) The average working citizen in the USA is continuously blinded and manipulated to reality by the U.S. media. (I call it "the unholy spirit") 2) Our own government elect don't really care about us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets face it, the United States is a "for profit enterprise" and for that reason we are where we are. There is little anyone can do about it. Why? Because 90% of us are morally upright with regard to our work ethic and serving our fellow man, while the people in charge are corrupted by their powerful positions. Sure some of us make mistakes on the way but the majority of us learn from our mistakes for righteousness sake, while the corrupt when caught only learn how not to get caught the next time. At the same time they keep tabs on one another bringing them into the fold so as to expand the net of corruption in secret. But you'll never know it, or them. Why? That's a tough one. Lets use the most recent example of corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George W. Bush has taken a once great nation and single hand idly delivered it up to the brink of financial disaster.   &lt;/span&gt;Bush has made 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, a study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; On top of that he uses his leverage now to bailout banks using taxpayer money. The banks are the very institutions that brought us here. And how has he done all this? By systematically lying to the American public, YOU.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States was sitting pretty before Bush became president. We had some of the largest financial surpluses since the inception of this country as a nation. Who knows, we may have been in a position to even quite possibly go to Universal health care, like Canada, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Britain and Europe.  God forbid!  There's no profit in that line of thinking.  Lets start a war instead, just like before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a

It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The center said the study was based on a database created with public statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles, speeches and interviews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The cumulative effect of these false statements — amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts — was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war," the study concluded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Some journalists — indeed, even some entire news organizations — have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical. These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq," it said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2532553725334352481-1767104561924889339?l=thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/feeds/1767104561924889339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2532553725334352481&amp;postID=1767104561924889339' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/1767104561924889339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2532553725334352481/posts/default/1767104561924889339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecaseagainstbush.blogspot.com/2008/01/truth-will-set-you-free.html' title='The Truth Will Set You Free'/><author><name>RA S</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532553725334352481.post-6034697969703512890</id><published>2007-11-09T12:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-09T12:57:09.868-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED COMPLAINT&lt;a linkindex="6" style="" href="http://www.911timeline.net/marianivsbush.htm#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;           &lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;[6]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;            &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;           &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h5&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                                  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;NOW COMES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;the Plaintiff, Ellen Mariani, on information,            belief and established facts, by and through her counsel of record,            Philip J.

           &lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;in the death of Plaintiff's husband            and thousands of other innocent victims on "911."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

4. Defendant GWB has purported to the American People, this Court            and the Plaintiff that the infamous attacks of "911" were directly masterminded            by Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda Network terrorists (hereinafter            "OBL"), almost immediately after the attacks.&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;Yet, Defendant GWB has not been forthright and honest with regard            to his administration's pre-knowledge of the potential of the "911"            attacks and Plaintiff seeks to compel Defendant GWB to justify why her            husband Louis Neil Mariani died on "911.'&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff believes Defendant GWB is invoking            a long standard operating procedure of invoking national security and            executive privilege claims to suppress the basis of this lawsuit that            Defendant GWB, et al., failed to act and prevent the "911" attacks.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This Court must see through this and Plaintiff            argues from the onset, the reasons why "911" occurred are no longer            a national security risk, but a national security disgrace and tragedy.            Plaintiff asserts, contrary to Defendant GWB's assertion that OBL is            responsible for "911," the compelling evidence that will be presented            in this case through discovery, subpoena power by this Court and testimony            at trial will lead to one undisputed fact, Defendant GWB failed to act            and prevent "911" knowing the attacks would lead to our nation having            to engage in an "International War on Terror (IWOT)" which would benefit            Defendants both financially and for political reasons.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff asserts, her husband was murdered            on "911" and Defendant GWB and many of his cabinet members are now profiting            from the IWOT.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff will            prove, the "Bush family" has had long ties to power in the federal government            and with the OBL family which raises serious public trust questions            yet to be answered, to include, but not limited to, the fact that Defendant            Cheney is profiting immensely from his former company's exclusive contracts            to rebuild Iraq.&lt;a linkindex="9" style="" href="http://www.911timeline.net/marianivsbush.htm#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff believes, Defendant GWB et al, allowed            the attacks to take place to compel public anger and outcry to engage            our nation and our military men and women in a preventable "IWOT" for            personal gains and agendas.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The            statement of "911 Commissioner" and former United States Senator Max            Cleland reinforces Plaintiff's claims that her President and Commander-in-Chief            Defendant GWB has not been honest and forthright to her or the American            public with regard to "911":&lt;span style=""&gt;

&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;on August 6, 2001, (one month prior to the "911" attacks), she provided            a written brief to Defendant GWB at his Texas ranch which warned "OBL"            might try to hijack U.S. aircraft.&lt;span style=""&gt;

            &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff reasonably believes venue in Philadelphia is appropriate            in the federal district wherein the &lt;i&gt;United States Constitution&lt;/i&gt;            was signed as the Defendants have tested the &lt;i&gt;United States Constitution&lt;/i&gt;            and pose the greatest threat to our way of life if they are not held            to account for their actions prior to, during and after the "911" attacks.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Moreover, Defendant GWB, the primary focus of            this Amended Complaint, and a majority of the Defendants are employees            of the United States who were acting within their official capacity            on "911" and Plaintiff can bring this action in "any            judicial district" predicated upon the fact that "a substantial            part of the events and omissions giving rise" to this action occurred            in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff argues, the entire United States of America and its            Citizens were victims of "911" for that matter, coupled with            the fact that the United States Constitution is under attack in of itself,            merits this Amended Complaint to be tried and decided in the Birth Place            of the Constitution and where our Declaration of Independence was written            and signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and where our battle of freedom            was won in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Furthermore, all of the Defendants conduct public            business and/or have offices throughout the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Nolan, Esquire dated            February 8, 2002.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Most notable            is the handwritten statement below Defendant Feinberg's signature that            states: &lt;b&gt;"So – are you bringing your clients into the Fund?&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;Give me a call.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Best -            K."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;

 &lt;/span&gt;Furthermore, Red Cross delays have in effect            thrown needy families into the waiting arms of Defendant Ashcroft and            Defendant Feinberg while also serving to keep the government of the            &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;

 &lt;/span&gt;Defendant Feinberg has maintained total control            over fund settlements while allowing the Red Cross to extend payments            in the millions from donations to displaced renters and homeowners who            did not even lose a family member, and also to Federal Emergency Management            Agency (FEMA) workers, all of whom should have been paid from FEMA's            well-established and budgeted funds approved by Congress.&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;Defendant Feinberg allowed the U.S. government to use Red Cross            funds specifically donated to the families who lost their loved ones,            said funds given to other parties, which only helped to extend and intensify            the financial difficulties of victims family members, as many just decided            to give up and submit to Defendant Feinberg's fund while also absolving            the government of the United States of all future accountability.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;

      &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff, reasonably believes, Defendants are hiding behind            arbitrary legislation such as this "Act" [&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Air Transportation Safety            and System Stabilization Act&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;] and the Patriot Act to silence            Americans such as herself from obtaining the truth as to how and why            "911" ever occurred.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;To protect and preserve the &lt;i&gt;United States            Constitution&lt;/i&gt; Plaintiff's Amended Complaint merits judicial redress            and all extraordinary relief for the good of our nation.&lt;a linkindex="22" style="" href="http://www.911timeline.net/marianivsbush.htm#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;

Defendant GWB's behaviors, both officially and individually            are highly suspect.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff,            a reasonable person with &lt;i&gt;"standing"&lt;/i&gt; seeks to find the truth of            "911" and questions why it has taken almost two (2) years for Defendant            GWB to establish the "911 Commission."&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff believes from the substantial            investigations and news reports from around the world, Defendant GWB            must be compelled to answer the claims and assertions in her lawsuit            as it has been over two (2) years since her husband's death and yet            to date, no "terrorists" have be held to account.&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;Defendant            GWB has not released to the public intelligence reports or statements            to remove suspicion regarding his own good faith efforts to find the            terrorists responsible for "911."&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Moreover,            why are several alleged terrorists named by Defendant GWB who allegedly            died in the "911" attacks still alive?&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff asserts and alleges Defendant            GWB's behaviors on the morning of "911" upon being informed the nation            was under attack to include but not limited to his continued reading            of a children's story when he should have expeditiously carried out            his joint duties as President and Commander-in-Chief to order air defenses            to prevent continued attacks against our Nation, in of itself, calls            into question his stability and motives to carry out this nation's top            public office. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;/span&gt;Plaintiff seeks to find and obtain the answer            as to why her husband was murdered on "911" and to date, political reasons            and "obstruction of justice" by Defendant GWB in failing to release            intelligence reports and to fully cooperate with the "911 Commission"            provide Plaintiff with no other option but to proceed with this cause            of action.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In light of the fact that Defendant Ashcroft            is a party to this litigation, this Honorable Court must provide Plaintiff            justice by issuance of subpoenas and by affording Plaintiff discovery            to support her claims regarding Defendant GWB failing to act and prevent            the deadly attacks on "911."&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Moreover,            the fact that the only federal employee who has the power to seek prosecution            of the murders responsible for "911," namely Defendant Ashcroft who            has spent more time advocating for his &lt;i&gt;Patriot Act&lt;/i&gt; than seeking            the "terrorists" responsible for the "911" attacks is yet another bona            fide issue which advances Plaintiff's right to judicial review in this            matter.&lt;a linkindex="23" style="" href="http://www.911timeline.net/marianivsbush.htm#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;

            &lt;/span&gt;The following testimony of "911" victim family member Mindy Kleinberg,            presented on March 31, 2003 before the "911 Commission" is so articulate            that it stands with Plaintiff's "open letter" to Defendant GWB as cited            at "A" and to support this &lt;i&gt;Count:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;"Prior            to 9/11, FAA and Department of Defense Manuals gave clear, comprehensive            instructions on how to handle everything from minor emergencies to full            blown hijackings. These 'protocols' were in place and were practiced            regularly for a good reason -- with heavily trafficked air space; airliners            without radio and transponder contact are collisions and/or calamities            waiting to happen.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Those protocols dictate that in the event of an emergency, the FAA is            to notify NORAD. Once that notification takes place, it is then the            responsibility of NORAD to scramble fighter-jets to intercept the errant            plane(s). It is a matter of routine procedure for fighter-jets to 'intercept'            commercial airliners in order to regain contact with the pilot.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          If that weren't protection enough, on September 11th, NEADS (or the            North East Air Defense System dept of NORAD) was several days into a            semi-annual exercise known as 'Vigilant Guardian." This meant that our            North East Air Defense system was fully staffed. In short, key officers            were manning the operation battle center, 'fighter jets were cocked,            loaded, and carrying extra gas on board.'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Lucky for the terrorists that none of this mattered on the morning of            September 11th. Let me illustrate using just flight 11 as an example:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          American Airline Flight 11 departed from Boston's Logan Airport at 7:45            a.m. The last routine communication between ground control and the plane            occurred at &lt;st1:time minute="13" hour="8"&gt;8:13 a.m.&lt;/st1:time&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Between            &lt;st1:time minute="13" hour="8"&gt;8:13&lt;/st1:time&gt; and &lt;st1:time minute="20" hour="8"&gt;8:20 a.m.&lt;/st1:time&gt; Flight 11 became unresponsive to ground            control.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Additionally, radar            indicated that the plane had deviated from its assigned path of flight.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Soon thereafter, transponder contact was lost            -- (although planes can still be seen on radar - even without their            transponders).&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Two Flight 11 airline attendants had separately called American Airlines            reporting a hijacking, the presence of weapons, and the infliction of            injuries on passengers and crew.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;At            this point, it would seem abundantly clear that Flight 11 was an emergency.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Yet, according to NORAD's official timeline, NORAD was not contacted            until 20 minutes later at 8:40 a.m. Tragically the fighter jets were            not deployed until 8:52 a.m. -- a full 32 minutes after the loss of            contact with flight 11.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Why was there a delay in the FAA notifying NORAD?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Why was there a delay in NORAD scrambling fighter            jets?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;How is this possible when            NEADS was fully staffed with planes at the ready and monitoring our            Northeast airspace?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Flights 175, 77 and 93 all had this same repeat pattern of delays in            notification and delays in scrambling fighter jets.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Delays that are unimaginable considering a plane            had, by this time, already hit the World Trade Center.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;b style=""&gt;        &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Even more baffling for us is the fact that the fighter jets were not            scrambled from the closest air force bases.&lt;span style=""&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;For example, for the flight that hit the Pentagon, the jets were            scrambled from Langley Air Force in Hampton, Virginia rather than Andrews            Air Force Base right outside D.C.&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;With all due respect, this statement is as  bad as the first!...I don't know how you or anyone at FBI Headquarters, no  matter how much genius or prescience you may possess, could so blithely make  this affirmation without anything to back the opinion up than your stature as  FBI Director.&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;It is certainly not beyond the realm of  imagination to hypothesize that Moussaoui's fortuitous arrest alone, even if he  merely was the 20th hijacker, allowed the hero passengers of Flight 93 to  overcome their terrorist hijackers and thus spare more lives on the  ground.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And even greater casualties,  possibly of our Nation's highest government officials, may have been prevented  if Al Qaeda intended for Moussaoui to pilot an entirely different aircraft.&lt;span style=""&gt;

Eggen and Pincus 6-4-2002), the  correspondence left out key information, such as the fact that the two men had  been linked to the Cole bombing and that they had visited the     U.S.    Moreover, the information was never relayed  to the INS or the U.S. State Department (Risen 6-3-2002).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The CIA just let them breeze right into the   U.S.   despite the fact that "as  2000 dawned, U.S.   law-enforcement agencies  were on red alert, certain that a bin Laden strike somewhere in the world could  come at any moment."&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And once these two  men were safely in the country, no government agency monitored their activities  or their whereabouts (&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Isikoff and Klaidman 6-10-2002&lt;/span&gt;).  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
