Censorship
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
~John F. Kennedy~
"America is a friend to the people of Iraq . Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children." ~George W. Bush
"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere!" —President Bush, joking about his administration's failure to find WMDs in Iraq as he narrated a comic slideshow during the Radio & TV Correspondents' Association dinner, March 25, 2004
Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War ( View )
The Big Question: The Bush administration has been accused of using "torture-lite," or "moderate physical pressure," against detainees. In practical terms, what does this mean?
Psychological Torture: The number one criterion for American torture is that it must leave no physical marks, and psychological torture certainly qualifies. Whether U.S. officials are threatening to execute a prisoner's family or just falsely claiming that the leader of his terror cell is dead, it's hard to imagine a form of torture that is more effective--or easier to get away with--than a steady diet of misinformation and threats.
Sensory Deprivation: When you're locked up in a cell, it's already remarkably easy to lose track of time. Eliminate all noise and light sources--or, as was done to the Guantanamo prisoners at one point, simply bind, blindfold, and earmuff a prisoner into temporary oblivion--and life becomes a hellish, sanity-destroying experience. Whether prisoners subjected to long-term sensory deprivation can still tell fiction from reality is, of course, another question.
Starvation and Thirst: Maslow's hierarchy of needs identifies basic physical needs as the most fundamental--more fundamental than religion, political ideology, or community. A prisoner who is being given enough (unpleasant) food and water to survive, but only just, can go as long as a week before looking physically thinner--but will soon find that his or her life revolves around the quest for food.
Sleep Deprivation: Studies have shown that missing a night's sleep temporarily drains 10 points from a person's IQ. Consistent sleep deprivation, through harassment, exposure to bright lights, and exposure to loud, jarring music and recordings, can drastically impair judgment.
Waterboarding: Water torture, one of the oldest and most common forms of torture, came to the United States with the first colonists and has cropped up many times since then. In the latest incarnation, waterboarding, a prisoner is strapped down to a board and then dunked in water until nearly drowned, then brought back, gasping, to the surface. The interrogator repeats the procedure until the desired result is obtained.
Forced Standing: "I stand for 8-10 hours a day," Donald Rumsfeld wrote in a 2002 interrogation memo. "Why is standing limited to four hours?" Rumsfeld would probably feel a little differently about this if he had to stand in place for 8-10 hours, which can cause ankle swelling, bruising, and excruciating pain.
Palestinian Hanging (aka Palestinian Crucifixion): This form of torture, referred to as "Palestinian hanging" due to its use by the Israeli government against Palestinians, involves binding the prisoner's hands behind his or her back. After fatigue sets in, the prisoner will inevitably fall forward--putting full body weight on the shoulders, and impairing breathing. If the prisoner is not released, death by crucifixion results. Such was the fate of U.S. prisoner Manadel al-Jamadi in 2003.
Sweatboxes: In this form of torture, sometimes referred to as the "hot box" or simply as "the box," the prisoner is locked up in a small, hot room which, due to lack of ventilation, essentially functions as an oven. When the prisoner cooperates, he or she is finally released. Long used as a form of torture within the United States (most recently against one Alabama activist in 1998), it is particularly effective in the arid Middle East.
Sexual Abuse and Humiliation: Various forms of sexual abuse and humiliation documented in U.S. prisons include forced nudity, forcible smearing of menstrual blood on prisoners' faces, forced lapdances, forced transvestitism, and forced homosexual acts on other prisoners. These abuses and alleged abuses should be considered in light of the fact that most detainees are deeply religious Muslims, and many are married.

Fire Fight at Dulce Base
"Back in 1954, under the Eisenhower administration, the federal government decided to circumvent the Constitution of the United States and form a treaty with alien entities. It was called the 1954 Grenada Treaty , which basically made the agreement that the aliens involved could take a few cows and test their implanting techniques on a few human beings, but that they had to give details about the people involved. Slowly, the aliens altered the bargain until they decided they wouldn't abide by it at all. Back in 1979, this was the reality, and the fire-fight at Dulce occurred quite by accident."I was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at Dulce, which is probably the deepest base. It goes down seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. At that particular time, we had drilled four distinct holes in the desert, and we were going to link them together and blow out large sections at a time. My job was to go down the holes and check the rock samples, and recommend the explosive to deal with the particular rock. As I was headed down there, we found ourselves amidst a large cavern that was full of outer-space aliens, otherwise known as large Greys. I shot two of them. At that time, there were 30 people down there. About 40 more came down after this started, and all of them got killed. We had surprised a whole underground base of existing aliens. Later, we found out that they had been living on our planet for a long time, perhaps a million years. This could explain a lot of what is behind the theory of ancient astronauts.

The Battle of LA
Five years before Roswell, five years before pilot Kenneth Arnold 's landmark sightings of "flying saucers" in the Pacific Northwest, 3 years before the Battle of the Bulge , two years before D-Day , and years before the so-called "modern UFO era" had officially begun, there was the Battle of Los Angeles, arguably the most sensational, dramatic UFO mass encounter on record. Have you ever heard of the Battle of Los Angeles ? Few have. Imagine a visiting spacecraft from another world, or dimension, hovering over a panicked and blacked-out LA in the middle of the night just weeks after Pearl Harbor at the height of WWII fear and paranoia. Imagine how this huge ship, assumed to be some unknown Japanese aircraft, was then attacked as it hung, nearly stationary, over Culver City and Santa Monica by dozens of Army anti-aircraft batteries firing nearly 2,000 rounds of 12 pound, high explosive shells in full view of hundreds of thousands of residents. Imagine all of that and you have an idea of what was the Battle of Los Angeles.
Police State
"When you’re told by your government that you’re committing treason just because you disagree with its actions, you have to wonder. When illegal elections subvert the process to provide us with quality leaders, you have to wonder. When members of the police force can shoot peaceful demonstrators in the head without fearing recourse, you have to wonder. When your labor is stolen from you in the form of illegal taxes, you have to wonder. Has America become a police state?"
Watch Alex Jones be arrested for asking George Bush a question.
" We reproduce catastrophe because we ourselves are traumatized- both as a species and individually, beginning at birth. Because we are wounded, we have put up psychic defenses against reality and have become so cut off from direct participation in the multidimensional wilderness in which we are embedded that all we can do is to navigate our way cautiously through a human designed day-to-day substitute world of symbols- a world of dollars, minutes, numbers, images and words that are constantly being manipulated to wring the most possible profit from every conceivable circumstance. The body and spirit both rebel" ~David Watson~

New World Order
"Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." ~Woodrow Wilson~

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." ~U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt~

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes." ~Justice Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court~

"I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insideous forces working from within." ~General Douglas MacArthur~

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation." ~Mayor (1918-1925) John F. Hylan of New York~

"I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any longer than that." ~Donald Rumsfeld~

As he marched the nation to war, Bush presented himself as a Christian man of peace who saw war only as a last resort. But in a remarkable though little noted disclosure, Time magazine reported that in March 2002 – a full year before the invasion – Bush outlined his real thinking to three U.S. senators, "Fuck Saddam," Bush said. "We’re taking him out."

The Federal Reserve
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." ~Woodrow Wilson~ 1919

The Truth Will Be Known
Advance warnings were ignored: The most astonishing evidence about warnings is the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) titled “Bin Ladin Determined to Strike U.S.,” which George W. Bush received on August 6, 2001. A declassified copy of the PDB is available from the National Security Archives. Read more about missed warnings at www.globalresearch.ca in an article titled “The White House had (at least) 28 Advanced Intelligence Warnings Prior to 9/11,” compiled by Eric Smith. And for a more complete listing of warnings based on public sources, read Paul Thompson of the Center for Cooperative Research including 29 specific attack warnings from foreign intelligence agencies that were reported in the media.
With respect to using airliners as weapons, an April 18, 2004 article from USA Today titled “NORAD Had Drills of Jets as Weapons” revealed that in 1999, NORAD conducted exercises which simulated hijacked airliners to crash into targets, including the World Trade Center. An essay from the Center for Cooperative Research titled “The Failure to Defend the Skies on 9/11” documented a history of using airliners as weapons, in recent times beginning in 1994.
No Defenses Were Mounted: A complete breakdown of FAA Standard Operating Procedures occurred on September 11, 2001, though these procedures were carried out at least 67 times a year prior to 9/11. The FAA’s procedures named “Escort of Hijacked Aircraft: Requests for Service,” , clearly demonstrated that airline hijacking procedures had been in place. It was Standard Operating Procedure to immediately scramble military jets when an airliner diverged from its predefined flight plans or if radio contact was lost. In fact, an Associated Press article from 2002 reported that NORAD successfully scrambled jets 67 times from September 2000 to June 2001 when there were indications that airplanes were not flying according to flight plans. F-16 jets were immediately scrambled to intercept the plane in 1999 when professional golfer Payne Stewart’s Lear jet went off course, and the incident was reported in many media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and MSNBC .Why were jets not scrambled on September 11th? Some researchers believed that there was a de facto “stand down” due in part to numerous war game exercises which took place on that same day and possibly took away defense resources. Publicly documented war games included the following: The Toronto Star, Sunday Ontario edition, December 9, 2001, p. B05 reposted online here. The Vigilant Guardian game is documented by the Newhouse News Service and Aviation Week and Space Technology The Vigilant Warrior exercies is mentioned in Richard Clarke’s book, Against All Enemies, on page 5. Unnamed exercise of the National Reconnaissance Office that involved having a corporate jet crash into their headquarters in Virginia: plans found in the San Francisco Chronicle (link archived at archive.org)
Insider Stock Trading: Reports from various sources stated that PROMIS, a computer program used worldwide by intelligence agencies, monitored stock trading in real time. Intelligence agencies regularly scrutinized oddities in stock trading and postulated various scenarios, including impending terrorist attacks, which may explain such trading activity. According to the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) in Israel, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw a highly unbalanced number of put options purchased compared to call options on United Airlines and American Airlines from September 6-10. No similar trading existed for any other airlines during those dates. Generally, those who purchase put options do so in an expectation that a stock price will fall. United Airlines stock fell 42% and American Airlines fell 39% after the attacks; the profits made by those who purchased the combined put options would have been approximately nine million U.S. dollars. In verifying that there was, indeed, insider trading, a paper published by Allen Poteshman (in pdf), a University of Illinois professor of finance, concluded that “there is evidence of unusual option market activity in the days leading up to September 11 that is consistent with investors trading with advanced knowledge of the attacks.” An article from slate.com reported that the Security and Exchange Commission and the Chicago Board Options Exchange have sealed the trading records. A further mystery was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle on 9/29/01 and the U.K. Independent on 10/14/01 stating that 2.5 million U.S. dollars in profits were not collected by those who purchased put options on United Airlines. A report on National Public Radio revealed that European financial investigators, including the Financial Services Authority in London, had cleared Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda of any involvement of insider trading in Europe prior to 9/11. A compilation of articles on insider trading with direct links can be found here .
Hijacker Identities Questioned: Some of the 19 alleged hijackers of 9/11 have been found to be alive. The FBI list of their names can be found here . Articles from the London Times and the BBC report that many of the hijackers named by the FBI are still alive. The end of the BBC article also mentioned that “FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.”
Stonewalling: The Bush Administration initially opposed investigating the attacks on 9/11 as reported by CBS News . Official investigations into the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of JFK, and the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger commenced approximately one week after the fact, but the investigations into 9/11 did not begin until 490 days after the attacks. Some critics also challenged the people named to the 9/11 Commission, including an essay written by Michel Chossudovsky, professor of economics at the University of Ottawa, was titled “Who’s Who on the 9/11 ‘Independent’ Commission.” which outlines the various conflicts of interest among the commission’s members. For a detailed look at the 9/11 Commission, the Center for Cooperative Research created a timeline of events .

Philip Corso was a military officer during World War II and Army intelligence officer on General Douglas MacArthur 's staff during the Korean War; a staff member of the President Eisenhower's National Security Council as a Lt. Colonel for four years; head of Foreign Technology in Army Research and Development at the Pentagon in the early 1960s, where he was in charge of the Roswell Files , the cache of UFO parts and information which "an Army retrieval team . . . pulled out of the wreckage of a flying disk that had crashed outside the town of Roswell in the New Mexico desert in the early-morning darkness during the first week of July 1947."; retired from the Army in 1963 with nineteen medals and ribbons; then served as National Security specialist staff to U.S. Senators James Eastland and Strom Thurmond; and subsequently has worked as a consultant and contracts administrator in the private sector.
Pioneering astronaut Gordon Cooper denies being the first astronaut to see a UFO while in orbit, but stands by his reports of a strange encounter over Germany in the 1950s.Cooper flatly denied the long-standing claim, repeated over the years by various authors including UFOlogical saints Allen Hynek and Jacques Valley, that he saw a greenish object with a red tail move past his Mercury 9 spacecraft in 1963."No, somebody made a lot of money selling … lies on that one," Cooper, the sixth American in space, told Art Bell on the syndicated Coast to Coast " talk radio show Thursday night. "It was totally untrue, sorry to say."However, the retired air force colonel, who once lectured the United Nations on the reality of UFOs, still holds an "unshakable" belief in extraterrestrial intelligence, thanks largely to personal experience.
