- Subject: Pentagon Seeks Ideas
01 Nov 2001Last week I sent the following ideas to the Pentagon website asking that the public provide ideas about stopping terrorism. Apparently my email failed to include them. Please send your own to the site as well at www.bids.tswg.gov. Just use the questions option at the bottom of the page to send them an email. Speak truth to power.
This morning on C-SPAN they listed your site as one seeking ideas from the public on how to counter terrorism. Since my ideas and the technology related to them have little to do with your posted BAA categories, I decided to state them here.
- Apply a rule of law, not a rule of war or force. Use existing international support and the mechanisms of international law and procedures to treat this as a crime against humanity and to hold an open and fair investigation, indictment and trial before a globally representative ad hoc international tribunal. This is proposed in full by former Nuremberg prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz at http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/Ferencz.html.
- Invoke Article 51 and the rest of the United Nations Charter to have the Security Council call an emergency meeting to consider other alternatives to military response or war. The broad and unprecedented international response in condemnation of the mass murders of September 11 will assist in this approach. Use existing means of international negotiation, diplomacy, cooperation and intervention instead of war to bring those specifically responsible to justice. The principles of "just war" and international charters require exhaustion of all possible alternatives before initiating armed conflict.
- Break the cycle of violence, as we admonish all other countries to do in these sorts of situations. We have the strength and moral authority to rise above a response that ultimately only garners new enemies and replicates the crime of killing innocent people. In the 21st century, the technology and destructive capability of weapons and the resulting level of non-combatant deaths should rule out war and its destabilizing political effects, ecologically destructive effects, and human costs on both sides of any conflict as a means of resolving differences in any situation.
- Disarm the sanctuary, support and sanction of the terrorists by reducing their moral authority. Using principles of law and international relations, and restoring hope and social and economic justice to aggrieved populations is the best weapon against those who seek to use violence on their behalf. We have the resources and technology to create global justice and hope which is the only final road to real security and peace in any society or between nations and groups.
- Refrain from reducing civil liberties or quality of life here in the name of increasing security. Reasonable precautions do not require excesses. We cannot give up rights in order to retain them. Recent calls to end "posse comitatus" by Senator Warner, which establishes a bright line between police and military functions are very misguided.
The cost of feeding, clothing, housing and educating the world's population, and protecting the ecology of the planet are nowhere near as high as the cost of maintaining a permanent war economy for the unforeseeable future.
"The choice is not between non-violence and violence, it is between non-violence and non-existence" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Read it in their press releases. And read about their CEO's -- and -- of course, ties to Kissinger Associates and more. And, of course, AIG and Jardine, the largest insurers in the world, tied into Blackstone Group, appxly the same time. Now, how is the Caryle Group connected to Blackstone, as Sherman Skolnik stated? Interlocking directorates? Shares? Got to look at all carefully.

www.mwaw.org- Subject: [FAIR-L] Fox: Civilian Casualties Not News
10 Nov 2001I sent the following response to the piece below from FAIR.
Thanks for this interesting analysis piece. What a horror, if true, that hundreds of letters and threats accompanied the publication of pictures of civilian deaths resulting from the bombings. Some are so deep into denial and so filled with hatred that they cannot even assess their own actions or allow a feeling of conscience to surface.
The level of civilian deaths relating to war has increased due to the nature of modern warfare and weapons. In WWI trench warfare the civilians were only 4% of the dead, WWII bombings and nuclear weapons lead to a 25% civilian death rate. Korea, a counter-insurgency land war led to 55% civilian casualties out of the total dead. Vietnam, a genocidal war of attrition, increased it to almost 95% non-combatants killed. Subsequent wars have rarely dropped below 75% levels.
Given this rise, it calls the lie to the indifference of those who say civilian deaths are merely "part of war". In fact, it might be more accurate to say now that the deaths of actual combatants qualify as the "collateral damage" of warfare. A truck driver who delivers medical supplies from Pakistan to Afghanistan was recently interviewed on "The World" radio program and noted that in the many hospitals he visited the only wounded he saw in Afghanistan were women and children. Not a surprise, given that they now make up 80% of the population due to the attritions of the last major war there, but also telling in terms of who the victims of this war really are.
The recent introduction of cluster bombs, which are strictly anti-personnel weapons that penetrate only human flesh, and made with the same yellow color as the food packages being dropped, points once more to the intention (beyond indifference) of the military campaign.

They say it would be unable to be used in court due to the sensitive nature of the sources. It is at best inferential, and certainly not linked to the particulars of the event. Notice the continued reluctance to release the obviously still secret actual identities/names of the hijackers. It cannot be the official list given out in the newspapers to us, that is more than public. We are assured it proves the connection they claim it does.

20 Nov 2001War, what's it good for? PROFITS!
- The arrogant, paternalistic, company-store mentality that drives the institutions of globalism is just breathtaking.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of everything, including (credible) management, oversight and repayment structuring. Just sign here."
I know some will find this stuff boring, but the keys to "the truth of the matter" are found between the lines of reports like this. Don't miss that reference to "a big payoff."A World Bank report says the cost of stabilizing Afghanistan will run into the billions of dollars and test the international community's commitment to economic development. The report calls for the establishment of an international trust fund for Afghanistan, managed by a "credible institution." It also urges the creation of a reconstruction agency to build and manage development projects.
[Big Snip]
The World Bank argues that there are economic advantages - not just military objectives - for investing in the future of Afghanistan. "Where there could be a big payoff down the line for the region around Afghanistan will be options for transport, trade and energy," Byrd says. "The conflict in Afghanistan has been a tremendous drag on Pakistan and the surrounding region." For instance, some of the best potential trade and transport routes for Central Asia run through Afghanistan.World Bank Report Sketches Reconstruction Challenges For Afghanistan

http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/business/articles/eav111601.shtml- Subject: a war planned years ago...
20 Nov 2001Ruppert, despite his own biases, seems close to revealing the broader picture of what this war is really about. Brezezinksi was central to the beginning plans for destabilizing the USSR by way of the Afghanistan war, a cause carried further by William Casey and the anti-communism of the fundamentalist Islamic world. Our military base in the region seems to have shifted from Israel to Saudi Arabia to Uzbekistan and Bosnia. I do believe this is the Third World War, the war against the Third World by the global corporations and the rich. The destabilizations that will lead to "free market" economies run by the globalists will be called "democratic" but will in fact only extend the control of the neo-liberal model and crush every pocket of resistance. There is only one weak link left in this engine of destruction: the American people.
A War in the Planning for Four Years
by Michael Ruppert, From The Wilderness Publications, November 2001
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RUP111B.html- Subject: Mr. Cheney's Cover Story - Section 2 of
`Guilty For 9-11: Bush, Rumsfeld, Myers'
20 Nov 2001This is the most glaring discrepancy in the whole story, and I have been mentioning it since the start. By 8:25 a.m. NORAD knew that an unprecedented event had occurred: 4 commercial planes were off course with reasons to believe they were hijacked. There was not a word in the media about this until well after the 8:43 and 9:05 Twin Tower attacks.
Local media in DC reported that a third plane was headed this way, with at least 35-40 minutes notice time. The "tough call" was made, but there was NO response whatsoever from local military bases. Andrews AFB has Air National Guard F-16s, and I have seen planes scrambled because they were just off course and coming into the restricted DC airspace. Bolling AFB is nearby, as is Anacostia Naval Air Station, which can get a plane up in 3 minutes, one local servicemember recounted, when there is a national alert. Was there no national alert on September 11?
I mentioned this stand down to local reporters at a party on Saturday and got three different explanations:
- Air National Guard is in a different chain of command from the NORAD interceptors at Langley AFB. (said to be from NYT source)
- NORAD had, three days earlier, taken off alert status half of the interceptor planes in their network.
- It was just incompetence.
The first is, in my view, ludicrous. Different chains of command still end up under the Pentagon chain of command, and we do not rely on jets from 130 miles away to intercept a commercial plane off course here. This is comparable to the first explanation that "there was no mechanism" to intercept. No mechanism??? What did we spend $13 trillion dollars on from WWII to today in that military budget? The Pentagon has "no mechanism" to even defend itself?
The second, rather than serving to explain the problem, in my view, actually confirms the stand down thesis even more strongly. What a coincidence! The lack of any military alert status on November 22, 1963 despite the murder of a President by persons unknown, is a similar discrepancy. The removal of the code books from the SAC bombers in the air that hour is a similarly glaring example of stand down.
If this is incompetence, we are in even deeper trouble.
This article is direct, it deconstructs, it gives the official sources. This is research.

26 Nov 2001This is why "we may never know" about this war or what led into it. Secrecy is the only option they know, history is a commodity.

29 Nov 2001Five intelligent and well-reasoned Letters to the Editor on the 14 Nov story "The Military May Try Terrorism Cases", all of which challenge the legality, validity, and morality of such "kangaroo courts" as well as the "war" on terrorism. Take heart -- there are people in our country who represent the very best aspirations of humanity.

Khanabad `decimated by the Americans, 100 civilians killed'

29 Nov 2001This is one way out. The article does not mention that 65% of the oil consumption is military, which would overlap on the truck and car percentage. Dependence on oil as the primary energy source, foreign or not, is closer to a real solution. Alternative, distributed energy sources will solve lots of things, as well as Soft Energy Path solutions and efficiencies discussed by Amory Lovins for years. Look him up on thru his organization, The Rocky Mountain Institute.
