My last entry in this section, I'm giving up blundering about so much,
and here is Annie Machon's website. She has left the country.

29th December 2009 Here is an extraordinary article by Chris Hedges - truthdig - One Day We'll All Be Terrorists - about a man imprisoned for delivering socks and punished thus:

It is torture as science. In Germany, the Gestapo broke bones while its successor, the communist East German Stasi, broke souls. We are like the Stasi. We have refined the art of psychological disintegration and drag bewildered suspects into secretive courts when they no longer have the mental and psychological capability to defend themselves.

This corruption of our legal system, if history is any guide, will not be reserved by the state for suspected terrorists, or even Muslim Americans. In the coming turmoil and economic collapse, it will be used to silence all who are branded as disruptive or subversive. Hashmi endures what many others, who are not Muslim, will endure later. Radical activists in the environmental, globalization, anti-nuclear, sustainable agriculture and anarchist movements - who are already being placed by the state in special detention facilities with Muslims charged with terrorism - have discovered that his fate is their fate.

Courageous groups have organized protests, including vigils outside the Manhattan detention facility. They can be found at www.educatorsforcivilliberties.org or www.freefahad.com. On Martin Luther King Day, this Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. EST, protesters will hold a large vigil in front of the MCC on 150 Park Row in Lower Manhattan to call for a return of our constitutional rights. Join them if you can.

The case against Hashmi, like most of the terrorist cases launched by the Bush administration, is appallingly weak and built on flimsy circumstantial evidence. This may be the reason the state has set up parallel legal and penal codes to railroad those it charges with links to terrorism. If it were a matter of evidence, activists like Hashmi, who is accused of facilitating the delivery of socks to al-Qaida, would probably never be brought to trial.

Formidable corporate law firm Morrison Foerster files complaint against CIA and asks the court to strike down the Feres Doctrine as unconstitutional, which gives the government immunity for harm it does to government personnel.

Despite the passage of four decades, America and its military have never come to grips with its own ghastly programs of using soldiers as guinea pigs to test chemical or biological weapons such as LSD, sarin, nerve gases, plague, mescaline, anthrax and hundreds of others. At the same time, they also conducted mind-control experiments, as soldiers and others were administered drugs, and septal implants were inserted in the sinus cavities a la "The Manchurian Candidate." The secret research programs, originally code-named MKULTRA but continued under a long succession of other code names, were conducted mainly by the US Army from 1943 until at least 1975.

Link to 60 page document filed on behalf of veterans - at a Californian court in July 2009. This includes on page 6:

"The experiments involving human subjects were one of the key beneficiaries of the recruitment of over 1,500 scientists and technicians from Nazi Germany in "Project Paperclip", some of whom played a pivotal role in, e.g. the testing of psychochemicals and development of a new truth serum. Over half of these recruits had been members of the SS or Nazi Party. The "Paperclip" name was chosen because so many of the employment applications were clipped to immigration papers."

Between the U.S populace and the facts they require for informed consent lies an "in between" domain. In that realm is found a network of like-minded fifth column operatives whose pro-Israeli bias works unseen - yet in plain sight - to shape public opinion around a predetermined agenda. That agenda-shaping "news" routinely features commentators from think tanks who share the same bias.

MI5 Whistleblower Speaks Out: The Inner Workings of the Secret State.

Annie Machon, Cambridge Univaersity Classics graduate, has worked in the areas of counter-subversion and international terrorism within M15. After becoming aware of gross mismanagement and state-sponsored murder, Machon resigned and blew the whistle. Machon stands with experts in many fields who believe that there are serious problems with the official narrative of 9/11 that need to be investigated.

Now there is a link to a simply wonderful interview with the lucid and elegant Annie Machon, who is riding to our rescue on a white horse, reminding everyone how things should be done by doing what's right and being true. An intrepid soul.

I'm putting this link in a couple of places on my site because I think it is an historic interview, she is holding open the door, Geeks are to save the world and that's how its going to be. Come on all, it's our turn now, whatever we do, whoever we serve let us be open-minded, we're going to need some clear thinking here, enough of disaster; let's try something different, something that works for a change.

This was recorded on the 4th anniversary of the 7/7 tragedy, a week and a half ago, outside Kings Cross Station, London:

William Blum:"Many of my readers have been upset with me for my criticisms of President Obama's policies. Following my last two reports, more than a dozen have asked to be removed from my mailing list. But if you share my view that the numerous atrocities U.S. foreign policy is responsible for constitute the greatest threat to world peace, prosperity and happiness, then I think you have to want leaders who are unambiguously opposed to America's military adventures, because those interventions are unambiguously harmful. There's nothing good to be said about dropping powerful bombs on crowds of innocent people, invading their land, overthrowing their government, occupying the country, breaking down the doors of the citizens, killing the father, raping the mother, traumatizing the children, torturing those opposed to all this... Barack Obama has no problem with this, if we judge him by his policies and not his rhetoric."

By what standard shall we judge Barack Obama? William Blum, Foreign Policy Journal.

I found that article after reading in the same journal an article that expressed something of my own intense disquiet, even misery some of the time, because the BBC has not mentioned on any new programmes that I have heard on BBC Radio 4 this week the Israeli attack upon the Spirit of Humanity in international waters, threatening the boat, boarding her, and kidnapping her passengers and crew who are all still in prison today in Israel.

Gates' memorandum specifies that CYBERCOM "must be capable of synchronizing warfighting effects across the global security environment as well as providing support to civil authorities and international partners."

Ostensibly launched to protect military networks against malicious cyberattacks, the command's offensive nature is underlined by its role as STRATCOM's operational cyber wing. In addition to a defensive brief to "harden" the "dot-mil" domain, the Pentagon plan calls for an offensive capacity, one that will deploy cyber weapons against imperialism's adversaries.

J7: The July 7th Truth Campaign

It seems an awful lot to me. But I am informed that it probably only represents about one sixth of the USA's annual oil consumption.

Much more important is the TAPI Pipeline
The Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India Pipeline, scheduled to deliver thirty billion cubic metres of oil every year from the Caspian region in Turkmenistan. In August 2001 the Taliban withdrew from ten years of US negotiations over this pipeline, a challenge to the Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline, IPI.

Operation Enduring Freedom? With John McCain and Barack Obama now arguing about widening the Afghanistan war and invading Pakistan, the TAPI natural gas pipeline has a better chance than freedom ever had. It would be an American-controlled cash cow that would hurt Iran. All the US needs to do is pacify Afghanistan with more troops (to safeguard TAPI) and balkanize Pakistan (to stymie IPI) while widening the war and antagonizing India. Freedom be damned. Freedom was never an option anyhow, especially when there's money to be made by endless war.

7th May, 2009. Just in case you didn't know about the interview with Aaron Russo, this clip is the most unforgettable part.

27th April 2009. My kitchen sink last June.
Not long to wait now before the roses come.

9th February, 2009; words in progress, trying to tell the truth about today and the view from my back door, out on the edge as we are. In the thick of it and separate. Like you? Sorry if things disappear. Can't bear doing this. Have to stop. Too scary for words sometimes, when the scale of the beast unfolds. Ha. But when you don't do it, when you don't say what's burdening your mind so heavily, what's left of being true that's true?

And I did swear to be true. Didn't you?

Here we have a gargantuan corporate/state montrosity of bureacratic deceit bullying everyone on earth into quiet submission.

And the slow slide becomes a high tide.

Why are bureaucrats and officials detroying my country? I hate to see how people are manipulated into selling themselves into slavery, while their children are brainwashed for the next world war killing spree.

Some say it was ever thus. But it was not. The machinery in place today is something new, and the social conditioning we obey, the games we play, the flaunts and taunts we fling are powerful things.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a letter dated November 23, 1933, to President Woodrow Wilson's top advisor, Colonel Edward House.

The Menwith Hill spy base near Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England, is the largest electronic monitoring station in the world. Run by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States, it is one of a global network of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) bases, which monitors the world's communications and relays information to NSA HQ at Fort Meade in Maryland, USA.

"No-one concerned about civil liberties can ignore Menwith Hill. Despite many attempts to get answers to questions, it is quite clear that Menwith Hill is not accountable to MPs and therefore not to the British people" - Alice Mahon MP.

Stonefruit - The ancient dream of total control

23rd January, 2009. There is something about the Gary McKinnon case that terrifies me. It appalls me how this country is failing to defend his quest for truth, and near throwing him to the wolves, though he could not help doing his duty; it is typically so fundamental a part of some people's nature to serve the truth. This is something that has been important to the function of democracy and the whole concept of public service in the past. There are people who do what is right just because it is right, and their sense of justice and curiosity propels them forward.

There would not be so few to defend him if more people of intelligence and integrity were to step aside from the dance a moment and consider what his case might mean to the future of his countrymen.

Video of Gary's mother, Janis Sharp, asking some reasonable questions

"British computer 'hacker' Gary McKinnon has won permission to launch a fresh High Court challenge over moves to extradite him to the United States. Lawyers for Gary McKinnon, 42, from Wood Green, north London, argued his health would suffer and he would be at real risk of suicide if extradited on charges of hacking into US military networks. Two judges ruled that his case "merits substantive consideration" and granted him permission to seek judicial review of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith's decision last October that extradition should take place. Mr McKinnon faces a lifetime in jail if he is found guilty in the US of sabotaging vital defence systems after the September 11 terror attacks. His supporters said he acted through "naivety" as a result of his Asperger's Syndrome - a form of autism - and should not be considered a criminal. His lawyers argued his medical condition - diagnosed last August - was likely to give rise to psychosis or suicide if removed to the US, far away from his family, and should be tried in the UK. Keir Starmer QC, the new director of public prosecutions, is considering a request for Mr McKinnon to be prosecuted in Britain rather than the US, where his legal team believe he would receive a much shorter sentence. He has signed a statement accepting that his hacking constituted an offence under the UK's Computer Misuse Act 1990." Daily Telegraph

Suppressed evidence of the importance of micronutrients and nutrition

"It will be hard for you to find a more comprehensive "library" on the health benefits of vitamins, micronutrients and nutrition in the battle against today's most common diseases of the industrialized and the developing world." The Science of Cellular Health

"My key aim, as someone who spent five years with the U.S. Army 75th Division conducting military war games, is to convince the American people that the "next 9/11" -- constantly promised by officials and the media -- is likely to be carried out under the guise of future military exercises. If the American people are aware of pending exercises and the danger they represent, then the exercises cannot "go live" and effect the very terror events that they are supposed to be rehearsing against."
Captain Eric H. May, Military Correspondent, Saint Louis Indy Media Center, 23 February 2008.

In the case of the 7/7 London railway bombings, there is same-day evidence in an ITV interview with former Scotland Yard anti-terrorism agent, Peter Power, who was a contract employee working for Reed Elsevier:

POWER: "At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now."

ITV HOST: "To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?"

POWER: "Precisely."

The company Peter Powers was working for was Reed Elsevier.

Youtube Partners with Mossad.
"I know it sounds too weird to believe, but that's the news. YouTube now has on-board one of the US's domestic branches of Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad. The ADL, the Mossad's most "professional" organizations whose "speciality is spreading hate", are recruited as a professionals in the just struggle of "fighting against hate"?! This partnership has many dimensions and should not be taken lightly." Palestine Think Tank,Free Minds for a Free Palestine, 12th December 2008.
