 &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;OK, i dont want to mislead people. My version is not intended to replace theirs.&lt;br /&gt;My version is for people who cant go through their program for one reason or antother.&lt;br /&gt;I started using NIACIN and a SAUNA together, mush as dscribed in this book, before it ever came out.&lt;br /&gt;I was also using certian herbs and eating certian fruits.&lt;br /&gt;Their program (from the book I read) asks you to be with someone who has already gone through it.&lt;br /&gt;This presents a problem for many people, especially sice the book has been linked to Scientology.&lt;br /&gt;In my program, you can do this all by yourself, and cheaper !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;their book is called....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;h2 class=&quot;r&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;l&quot; href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.clearbodyclearmind.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clear Body Clear Mind&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We live in a chemically-oriented society. People in the United States are constantly subjected to chemical poisons including pesticides, illegal drugs and even preservatives from food. The residues from these poisons can stay in the system for years. They damage not only your health but your ability to think clearly. The program that is explained in Clear Body, Clear Mind is the only effective program that eliminates the devastating effects of drugs and toxins. Hundreds of thousands have done this program and live happier, more perceptive and aware lives as a result. This book provides a complete description of the New Life Detoxification Program developed by L. Ron Hubbard to remove residues from the body. It is the same technology that is used in the Narconon® drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt; The program calls for you to take NIACIN, then sit in a sauna to sweat out the toxins that the niacin has released from your body.&lt;br /&gt;You have to take precaution, becuase with the amount of seating needed, you will loose many minerals and fatty acids. My version of this program is much shorter, and while it might not do quite as good a job, it is much safer, and easier to do, with much less stress on the body. I think my version comes fairly close to the results obtianed from their program as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you havent done so, first read my INTRO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://theblogs.net/user/911review/15057/Health%2C+herbs%2C+DETOXING%2C+Vitamins+and+holistic+medicine..html&quot;&gt;http://theblogs.net/user/911review/15057/Health%2C+herbs%2C+DETOXING%2C+Vitamins+and+holistic+medicine..html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Things you will need.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note, this is a MUCH smaller list (and much cheaper) than the books.&lt;br /&gt;Many of the vitamins and minerals i will suggest you take MORE than the RDA.&lt;br /&gt;The RDA is a guide to how much you should have every day, and the RDA has been disputed by many reputable doctors.&lt;br /&gt;The RDA is a suggested DAILY intake, and since most of us do NOT get what we need, a short term high intake will not hurt you. I am not suggesting to take these levels for more than a week though.&lt;br /&gt;Many have said they way the RDA is structured, it recommends the MINIMUM amount you NEED to SURVIVE, not the OPTIMAL amount that can help you !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The amounts I suggest below are guides, and you can TWEAK them to your own use. Larger people may need a bit more, as well as people who have bad diets.&lt;br /&gt;I also have a suggested meal list, which will help you to reduce the amounts of vitamins and minerals you need for this program. Even with the list, I still suggest you take what I recomend below though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you stay longer in the sauna, you will need more minerals also.&lt;br /&gt;I also VERY MUCH suggest you read the links to the vitamins, this will help you even when you are finished the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Niacin (vitamin B3)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure NOT to get time released Niacin&lt;br /&gt;You will need at least 20 for the first DETOX.&lt;br /&gt;Get the 100mg size, its around $3 for 100 count.&lt;br /&gt;Make sure its NOT Niacinamide !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) A sauna.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, you can use a gym, or someplace that has a hot tub, sauna, or steamroom.&lt;br /&gt;If you cant, then i dont suggest you go any further.&lt;br /&gt;I have turned the heater on in my bathroom, and run the hot water, mimicking a steam room, but you have to be able to get it HOT and keep it hot for at least an hour !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mandrake&quot;&gt;Mandrake root.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This makes you use the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;Excreting waste is important. You can buy this online pretty cheap. I buy the root cut, and you take about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of it.&lt;br /&gt;Be careful, you should read up on mandrake before using it !&lt;br /&gt;That said, I have used it 100&#39;s of times, with no bad effects, but if you take too much this can happen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.totse.com/en/drugs/rare_and_exotic_drugs/mandrake.html&quot;&gt;http://www.totse.com/en/drugs/rare_and_exotic_drugs/mandrake.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;remeber though, this guy took over 48x the amount you should take !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4) Clacium, Magnesium, Vitamin D.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can buy these together which is best, or seperate.&lt;br /&gt;Personally, i do NOT like multivitamins, many of them do not get absorbed well.&lt;br /&gt;You shoud take double the amounts during the program of Calcium Magnesium, and vitamin D.&lt;br /&gt;this wont hurt you a bit short term.&lt;br /&gt;Cod Liver oil is high in D as well as vitamin A and fatty acids, and is highly suggested here.&lt;br /&gt;Recomended Magnesium ascorbate = 500mg to 1gram&lt;br /&gt;Recomended Calcium= 1g to 3grams&lt;br /&gt;Recomended  &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/vitamin-D.php&quot;&gt;Vitamin D  &lt;/a&gt;= 400 to 600 IU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Omega 3 fatty acids.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start taking these a couple of days before you start the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Vitamin C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will need to take at least 6,000 mg a day.&lt;br /&gt;This amount wont hurt you a bit, even long term, but feel free to bring it down to 2 grams a day, when the programs over.

If you can, try and get the liquid, it absorbs easier. Colloidal Minerals if possible.&lt;br /&gt;If you do get the complex, the suggestion would be to take at the very least 1 dose per day, and recomended 2 to 3 doses a day.&lt;br /&gt;If you dont get the complex, you will also need&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a) &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/selenium.php&quot;&gt;Selenium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;   300mcg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;b) &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/zinc.php&quot;&gt;Zinc&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;  12mg to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;30mg &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;c) &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/potassium.php&quot;&gt;potassium&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;1 to 3 grams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;d) &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/iron.php&quot;&gt;iron&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;  10mg to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;&quot;&gt;30mg&lt;br /&gt;e) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/chromium.php&quot;&gt;chromium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;&quot;&gt;  30mg to 50mg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:-1;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/dietary-minerals/&quot;&gt;read about ALL minerals here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9) lemon Juice&lt;/strong&gt; (real lemon are better) keep this handy and put a few tablespoons in a glass of water. drink 4 to 5 glasses a day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10)&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.chattem.com/products/icy.asp&quot;&gt; ICY HOT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use any other salve that does the same thing.

Any fruit is OK, citrus is recomended. The white part on the inside of citrus fruits are very high in bioflavonoids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Greens !!!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dark green lettuce is much better than iceberg, and spinach is very high in iron. Eggplant is even higher in iron than spinach !&lt;br /&gt;Carrots are very high in beta-carrotene, a precurser to vitamin A.&lt;br /&gt;Shredded raw carrots are better, chew them well.&lt;br /&gt;Shreeded beets are great as well, and are good for your kidneys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;NO SUGARS&lt;/u&gt;, keep the simple carbs very low as well, like white bread (just eat whole wheat, make sure it says &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;whole wheat&lt;/u&gt;, or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;not bleached &lt;/u&gt;on the label)&lt;br /&gt;Brown rice is much better than white, no chocolate either !&lt;br /&gt;potatoes are OK, use real butter rather than margerine though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;No Milk or Ice Cream&lt;/u&gt; ! Some cheese is OK, but milk creates lots of mucus, not a goof thing here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;EAT NUTS ! &lt;/u&gt;get your protein and fatty acids from nuts, best thing to do, is get a trail mix, or mix with different kinds, like wallnuts, cashews, pecans...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;EAT  FISH !&lt;/u&gt; high in vitamin D, and oils.&lt;br /&gt;Steamed broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage are all great !&lt;br /&gt;Use extra virgin olive oil, or a little real butter.&lt;br /&gt;the grat thing is that salt is encourgaed, depnding on your restrictions (if any), and how long you stay in the sauna. Other spices are OK too.&lt;br /&gt;Try to eat lots of&lt;u&gt; fiber and bulk&lt;/u&gt;, like salads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.garlic-central.com/garlic-health.html&quot;&gt;GARLIC, GARLIC, GARLIC !&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you dont eat LOTS of it, but some, its cheap and great to have around for lowering blood pressure, and overall health.&lt;br /&gt;Egyptians took garlic to leep them healthy.&lt;br /&gt;The sulfur content stops you from getting sick !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEFORE YOU START...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check with your DOC, if you have high blood pressure, heart problems or the like.&lt;br /&gt;Do NOT take Mandrake if you are pregnant !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My version of this program is MUCH safer than the original though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my program, you can go as many days as you like. My program only lasts 5 days IF you do it full term.&lt;br /&gt;There is a 3 day PRE-CLEANSE before the actual program (with NIACIN) starts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LETS GO ALREADY !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pre-Cleanse. (PC)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The first 3 days, you will follow the diet, and take herbs only.&lt;br /&gt;The cleanses the bowels, and removes the water soluble toxins forst. This reduces the stress on the body, since you dont have to take any niacin, or sit in a sauna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PC day 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Take all of the vitamins and minerals, and follow the diet.&lt;br /&gt;Take 1/2 teapoon of Mandrake root.&lt;br /&gt;mandrake takes about 12 to 18 hours to work, by then you should have had 1-2 serious bowel movements.&lt;br /&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Barberry+Root&quot;&gt;Barberry Root&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.google.com/search?&amp;amp;q=%22red+clover%22&quot;&gt;Red Clover&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.viable-herbal.com/singles/herbs/s921.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bilberry Leaf&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; optional&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:100%;color:#004080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 128);&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.bodyandfitness.com/Products/Health/herbal.htm#Alfalfa&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alfalfa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:100%;color:#004080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 128);&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070121225126/http://www.bodyandfitness.com/Products/Health/herbal3.htm#Milk%20Thistle&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Milk thistle &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Drink 5 glasses of water (purified)&lt;br /&gt;with at least 3 tablespoons of lemon juice in each.&lt;br /&gt;Eat good, dont overeat, but make sure you eat the proper foods, no sugars.&lt;br /&gt;Eat fruit, veggies and fiber only !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a 10 minute workout, and a 20 mins sauna.&lt;br /&gt;This is just to get you used to the sauna, it will also get a few of the toxins out of you, so we can start the program clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PC day 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;REPEAT DAY 1, except  the diet.&lt;br /&gt;Today, all you can have is fruit and veggies with 1 course of nuts, and 1 course of fish.

The Niacin is at its peak.&lt;br /&gt;If you can, try and stretch your legs and arms while in the steam room,&lt;br /&gt;its important to keep the blood moving at this time.&lt;br /&gt;Try and stay in about 20 mins.

Then, go back in when you can, hopefully, the break should not last more than 5 mins.&lt;br /&gt;Steam room temps are generally between sauna and hot tub temps.&lt;br /&gt;You should have at least 1 hour of sauna time (maybe 45 mins of hot tub time)&lt;br /&gt;Then , your DONE!&lt;br /&gt;Take a COLD shower or bath when you are finished.

Niacinamide in the form that occurs naturally in the body (nicotinamide) is free of these effects. Large doses of niacin may cause nausea and may aggravate a peptic ulcer. Side effects may be reduced by taking the drug on a full stomach. At doses of over &lt;strong&gt;2g &lt;/strong&gt;daily (which have been used to treat hyperlipidaemia) there is a risk of gout, liver damage, and high blood sugar levels, leading to extreme thirst.&lt;br /&gt;[John A.

Important to note, that at the time he started the program, he had not even used a POOL in years.&lt;br /&gt;He took the niacin and went into the sauna to sweat.&lt;br /&gt;The other people had to LEAVE the sauna, becuase the SMELL of CHLORINE was so strong, their EYES BURNED !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are 2 types of toxins.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first, are &lt;strong&gt;FAT SOLUBLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second are &lt;strong&gt;WATER &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOLUBLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?=&amp;amp;q=%22Water+soluble+toxins%22&quot;&gt;Water soluble toxins &lt;/a&gt;are often released by  your body over time through sweating, peeing etc...&lt;br /&gt;They dont usually stay in your body long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?&amp;amp;q=%22+FAT+soluble+toxins%22&quot;&gt;Fat soluble toxins&lt;/a&gt; on the other hand, lodge in your brown fat cells, and ar often not released. They can stay there YEARS.&lt;br /&gt;Examples of FAT soluble toxins are Laughing Gas&lt;br /&gt;(what the dentist uses, or if you have surgery) and LSD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Heres more on Fat soluble toxins...&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The brain and the endocrine (hormonal) glands are fatty organs, and are common sites for fat-soluble toxins to accumulate. This may result in symptoms of brain dysfunction and hormonal imbalances, such as infertility, breast pain, menstrual disturbances, adrenal gland exhaustion and early menopause. Many of these chemicals (eg. pesticides, petrochemicals) are carcinogenic and have been implicated in the rising incidence of many cancers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.liverdoctor.com/03_detoxpathways.asp?print=true&quot;&gt;http://www.liverdoctor.com/03_detoxpathways.asp?print=true&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow !&lt;br /&gt;I beleive that this program, or my alteration of it can STOP  CANCER !&lt;br /&gt;IF, you do this on a regular basis, along with HALTING the intake of cancer causing agents&lt;br /&gt;(pesticides in foods, trans fats, other toxins) you will NEVER get cancer.&lt;br /&gt;Can I be SURE about this claim, NO, but i beleive it whole heartedly !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heres a bit more about the program, and below, I will add my herbal and other recomendations.&lt;br /&gt;I will also add a GENERAL HEALTH blog in the future, which i will link to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;(if not here yet, come back!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NIACIN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program consists of taking NIACIN, along with other vitamins, and excersice, with a &quot;sweat&quot; in a sauna. or steam room.&lt;br /&gt;The NIACIN is the key. Niacin (Vitamin B3) opens your veins which help bring toxins to the surface.&lt;br /&gt;More importantly, it opens the smaller capilaries that dont usually get good blood flow.&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever taken Niacin, it makes your face red, and ears tingle.&lt;br /&gt;It is even used in the manufacture of some street drugs for that purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also important to note:&lt;br /&gt;The military gives NIACIN to people who are exposed to radiation !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excersice also hels increase blood flow, so the idea is to exercise and take the niacin.&lt;br /&gt;At that point, you will have lots of OLD toxins in your blood stream.&lt;br /&gt;It is important to get them out, so the best way is to SWEAT them out !&lt;br /&gt;There are MANY benefits to sweating. One is to excrete toxins which takes the job off your liver and kidneys.&lt;br /&gt;You dont have to use this program to gain benefits from sweating, i do it all the time at the gym. I use a steam room and sauna several times a week.&lt;br /&gt;The skin is the largest organ in the body, and sweating helps to detox you. Its great for the skin as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this books program is pretty hard on the body. It says to double your niacin intake every day for several days.&lt;br /&gt;This puts a strain on you system, unless you sweat and take antioxidants as well, but the benefits are WELL worth it !&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to stay with the diet in the book, because your body looses certian oils, minerals and vitamins when you sweat, and the program calls for several HOURS of sweating every day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt; My modifications to the program&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt; include certian herbs that add minerals, and also help you DETOX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?&amp;amp;q=%22Dandelion+root%22&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt; Dandelion root&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt; Dandelion root is one of the best natural sources of potassium., and whne sweating, thats probably the mineral you loose the most of. At the same time, Dandelion is a very powerful &lt;u&gt;safe &lt;/u&gt;diuretic, which will help pull the toxins from your bladder and kidneys. This will take stress of them, which is important in this program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?&amp;amp;q=%22Mandrake+Root%22&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mandrake Root&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i first started using mandrake, there was virtually nothing about it on the web.&lt;br /&gt;My motto, is to use an herb for several days (by itself) to experience its effect. I know exactly what this herb does.&lt;br /&gt;You do have to be somewhat carefull of the dose, and pregnant women should NOT take it.&lt;br /&gt;Mandrake hels your body get rid of blockages.&lt;br /&gt;The main effect you will experience, is that it will make you GO to the bathroom (#2).&lt;br /&gt;Unlike laxatives however, Mandrake doesnt soften the stool, but it instead makes the muscles in your intestines contract. There may be a feeling of constipation, but, in effect, this is the opposite of whats happeneing. When the muscles contract, they start to push out anything inside (the intestines) and elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Mandrake has been effectivly used to get rid of GALLSTONES, and other blockages as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take Mandrake 2 nights before you start the program. It will take about 24 hours for it to finish working. You should also take it 2 days into the program to rid your body of toxins that are collected in the intestines during the program.&lt;br /&gt;Most people know how much better they feel after a healthy bowel movement, and Mandrake REALLY cleans you out ! It can also get rid of toxins that have been in your intestines for a long time. There are other ways to clean the bowels, but I think Mandrake should be included in this program.&lt;br /&gt;Before using it, you should read up on it though, or email me at&lt;br /&gt;peace4u@ml1.net&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Barberry+Root&quot;&gt;Barberry Root&lt;/a&gt; (Oregon Grape Root)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Barberry has natural vitamin C, and bitter alkaloids that assist in detoxing the liver, and it also helps digestion.&lt;br /&gt;Barberry is  GREAT to help nullify and reduce toxins i the body, it is also an antioxidant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.viable-herbal.com/singles/herbs/s921.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Bilberry Leaf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Bilberry Leaf is being is used as an antioxidant, and is beneficial in the strengthening of red blood cells &amp;amp; capillaries around the eyes. By supplying added oxygen to the blood, Bilberry Leaf benefits all capillaries in the body to improve circulation to the hands and feet. Bilberry Leaf is rich in fatty acids, bioflavonoids, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. It also contains loeanolic and ursolic acids, magnesium, selenium, and trace amounts of sodium &amp;amp; calcium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;fatty &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;acids and minerals are needed for this program to replace what is lost during sweating.&lt;br /&gt;Since the capillaries are directly affected by the Niacin, strengthening them is another plus for this herb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A couple of quick notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Selinuim&lt;/strong&gt; is an excelent antioxidant, and works well with vitamin E. I would much preffer natural sources for this (and other vitamins, minerals)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Magnesium&lt;/strong&gt; helps calcium absorbtion, and people usually dont get enough.&lt;br /&gt;Look for &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;lr=&amp;amp;q=Magnesium+food+sources&quot;&gt;sources of it in foods.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vitamin D&lt;/strong&gt; also helps calcium absorbtion, and there are a LOT of new studies that show most people DONT get enough vitamin D.   &lt;u&gt;SUNSHINE&lt;/u&gt; is the best source as it leaves no residuals, and turns vitamin D to D3. Benefits from sunshine FAR outweigh the possible cancer concerns, and if you use this program, the negative effects from sunshine will be REMOVED from your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calcium:&lt;/strong&gt; Many people get enough, usually, they just dont get enough vitamin D, or magnesium. When this happens, they  can still get a calcium deficiency, even though they are getting enough calcium !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, this is just in intro.&lt;br /&gt;Like i said, i have my own version of the  &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20070913235631/http://www.google.com/search?q=+%22clear+body+clear+mind%22&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;clear body clear mind&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  program.&lt;br /&gt;My version is not to totally REAPLACE theirs, but, it is a smaller program for those who cant follow the book to the &quot;TEE&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/3314365864139266470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=3314365864139266470' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/3314365864139266470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/3314365864139266470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2009/09/clear-body-clear-mind-my-version.html' title='Clear Body Clear Mind - My version'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-8328274153836479933</id><published>2008-09-16T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T17:44:44.282-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Aramark</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20010728035055/http://www.seiu100.org/txops/HoustonNews.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:120%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 102, 0);&quot; href=&quot;http://911review.org/Sept11Wiki/Aramark.shtml&quot;&gt;http://911review.org/Sept11Wiki/Aramark.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20010728035055/http://www.seiu100.org/txops/HoustonNews.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20010728035055/http://www.seiu100.org/txops/HoustonNews.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;www.seiu100.org/txops/HoustonNews.html&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;News          From Houston -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seiu100.org/txops/HoustonNewsSpanish.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;Para          español, toque aquí.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Say Yes to Our Children,          No to Privatization &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;There is an ever-present injustice in the kitchens and halls of our public          schools. The injustice is called outsourcing and ARAMARK and ServiceMaster          are two of its most heinous purveyors.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;ARAMARK and ServiceMaster both began their respective contracts with          Houston Independent School District (HISD) under Dr. Rod Paige&#39;s Superintendence.          ARAMARK was brought in to manage the Food Service Department and ServiceMaster,          the Custodial and Maintenance departments of HISD. The two outsourcing          agencies both have a long history of inequitable treatment of workers          and fiscally unsound managerial practices. They have not made their endeavor          in HISD an exception to this tradition.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;ARAMARK has severely cut our kitchen staff all over HISD and substitute          kitchen staff has been eliminated almost completely. When one of the food          service attendants is sick, the rest of the employees are forced to make          up the work, without getting extra pay. Furthermore, many formerly full-time          employees have been cut to four hours a day. Four hours is not enough          to support one person, much less a single mother with three children.          Do you want your tax dollars spent on paying people so little that they          are forced to work two jobs?&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;They have also affected the quality and quantity of the food that your          children eat. Before ARAMARK was in place in HISD, the children were served          a whole apple as part of their lunch; they are now served only half of          one. Prior to ARAMARK, they were served the whole head of broccoli, now          only the stems. Before ARAMARK they were served a variety of entrees,          including many that were prepared and cooked in the school kitchen. Now          most of the food comes pre-prepared and suffers from comparatively poor          quality. Because of the diminished quality of the food, participation          in school lunches has decreased and-to combat this dwindling participation-many          schools have begun serving both pizza and hamburgers twice a week. Wouldn&#39;t          you like for your children to be offered a variety of quality foods?&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;They have also begun a program in many low-income schools where the children,          most of whom are on free lunch (their meals are funded by the federal          government), are served breakfast during class time. Before this program          and at other schools the children that want breakfast at school are served          before class. At these schools, the children are served in class regardless          of whether or not they want the food. The food that is not eaten is thrown          away and the district pays ARAMARK whether they eat it or not. This is          a flagrant example of a private institution manipulating the system for          their profits.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;To make matters worse, because the children are served breakfast during          class time, time is being taken away from their studies. As stated before,          this program is being introduced in schools that have a high ratio of          low-income students, those schools that have historically tested lowest          in academic performance. Therefore, the students that should be getting          more class time are getting less.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Another example of privatization within our schools is the appearance          of progressively more vending machines on campus. Some schools even have          them in the cafeterias, which is a violation of a regulation set forth          by the Federal Department of Agriculture. The children purchase soft drinks          or junk food in lieu of healthier alternatives, and again our children&#39;s          health is sacrificed in the name of corporate profits. The ubiquitous          logos on the machines also help to ensure that the new generation will          continue to buy their products.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;ServiceMaster has engaged in their share of inequities, as well. During          the last school year, the custodial and maintenance departments, both          managed by ServiceMaster, lost a total of $2.8 million; to offset the          loss, they laid off many custodians and maintenance workers alike. Instead          of rehiring the devoted employees when more staff was needed for new schools          and projects, they brought in outside contractors to fill the positions.          Among these contractors is Aztec, who was brought in to fill the custodian          positions at two new High Schools, West Side and Cesar Chavez. The district          looked past Aztec&#39;s policy of not giving their employees a full forty-hour          workweek so as to avoid paying health care. Some might find irony in that          this inequitable treatment is going on in a school named after Chavez,          a union leader and staunch advocate of worker&#39;s rights.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;ServiceMaster has also taken the responsibility of changing the air conditioner          filters away from the maintenance department and given it to the custodial          department. Changing the air filters in a large school is a somewhat labor-intensive          job and, because the custodians already have a full workload, the task          is postponed or, in some cases, never taken care of. Houston has one of          the highest rates of asthma in the country and it seems that ServiceMaster          is trying to make sure that it stays that way. Not only is this an inequity          against the school employees, but this is also a case of profits taking          precedence over our children&#39;s health.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;It is also relevant to point out that neither ARAMARK nor ServiceMaster          has fulfilled what they were employed to do. Their respective contracts          were first begun as a means to improve the financial status of the district;          their contracts were not begun to correct an existing problem. HISD handled          these matters internally without any problems before they began outsourcing.          As a result of poor budget management, ARAMARK cost HISD $4.5 million          over the past two school years and, as mentioned earlier, ServiceMaster          cost the district $2.8 million over the past year. Despite the treatment          of workers, ARAMARK and ServiceMaster are quite obviously inept in what          they were employed to do.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The contracts with ARAMARK and ServiceMaster were begun in 1997 and 1998,          respectively. While they are both five-year contracts, they must be renewed          yearly, as stipulated by state law. HISD Board Members, who are elected          officials, will vote for the renewal or revocation of the contracts. Because          of this, we have the ability to discontinue their contracts before the          new school year starting in the Fall. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Both ARAMARK and ServiceMaster&#39;s contracts were begun with Houston ISD          under the administration of Dr. Rod Paige. He has since left his position          as HISD Superintendent, to serve as the Secretary of Education under President          George W. Bush, and we feel that his legacy of inequity should leave as          well.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Both of these corporate menaces have a long track record of inequitable          treatment of employees, putting profits before people, and incompetence          in budget management. As voting citizens of the city of Houston we CAN          make a difference. Send a letter to your Board Member and tell him/her          that the contracts with ARAMARK and ServiceMaster must be discontinued.          Tell them that the problems of outsourcing far outweigh the benefits.          Tell them that you refuse to vote for a Board Member that supports outsourcing.          Tell them that you don&#39;t want your tax dollars supporting a corporation          that thrives on the oppression of the people working in our schools. The          practice of using public money for private profit is unacceptable and          must be stopped!&lt;/p&gt;       Contact information for the Board Members as well as a map separating          the members into districts is available at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.houstonisd.org/board&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;http://www.houstonisd.org/board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.          If you would like to join us in the fight against injustice, call us at          713-863-9877or email us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:seiu100txho@acorn.org&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#00ff00;&quot;&gt;seiu100txho@acorn.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==============&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:+1;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Food choices grow inside Pentagon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica;font-size:+0;&quot;&gt;&lt;!--subtitle_line--&gt;&lt;!--/subtitle_line--&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;!--image_line--&gt;&lt;!--/image_line--&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:-1;&quot;&gt;&lt;!--byline_line--&gt; &lt;b&gt;by Michael Norris&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pentagram assistant editor&lt;!--/byline_line--&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beginning early this month, Pentagon employees will begin noticing a change in dining options inside the building, courtesy of the Department of De-fense Concession Committee. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.dcmilitary.com/army/pentagram/newspics/845_pentagonfood.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Pentagon food&quot; height=&quot;277&quot; width=&quot;379&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:-1;&quot;&gt;While subject to change, this graphic shows an approximation of where new food outlets will be located in the Pentagon. For updates, consult the web site listed in the article. (Courtesy graphic)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The ARAMARK Corporation, which has provided food services to the Pentagon for 30 years, is being replaced by the Navy Exchange Service Command, that has contracted with several organizations to establish a set of fast food restaurants throughout the building. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The change, said Jeffrey A Keppler, senior food services specialist for the command, will bring a host of brand-name food proprietors to the Pentagon, giving people more choice in what they eat and drink. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We want to provide the standard for what people can get on the outside,&quot; Keppler said, explaining that under the new system employees won&#39;t have to leave the building to find their favorite food outlet. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Familiar eateries scheduled to grace the building include McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Subway and Sbarro. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Specialty snack shops like Starbucks, Dunkin&#39; Donuts, Au Bon Pain and Baskin Robbins will also be a part of the mix. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Already established regional chains included that don&#39;t have a wide Washington presence include Togo&#39;s Great Sandwiches and Manchu Wok. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Also in the Pentagon will be a series of in-house restaurants run by Compass Group EUREST, which provided food service at the Winter Olympics and serves the dining needs of such corporate entities as Microsoft and Southwest Airlines. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  These in-house restaurants will include The Fresh Grille, Trattoria, Market Carvery, Out Takes and Menutainment. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last entry is designed for those who like a little flourish with their nourishment. Menutainment will feature chefs whipping up multi-serving portions of stir-fry, pasta, paella and other concoctions in full view of customers. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The wide variety of offerings provides more than just fast food, according to Keppler.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &quot;You&#39;ll be able to get fresh salads, meat, potatoes, gravy and green beans,&quot; he said.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &quot;We&#39;re hoping on picking up a lot of folks who have been brown bagging or going out to lunch,&quot; he added. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The new outlets will replace existing cafeterias in the Pentagon.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The Pentagon Dining Room along Corridor 10 will remain open, as well as several snack shops run by the Virginia Department for the Visually Impaired that are in the building. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new food service vendors have been hiring many ARAMARK employees, so Pentagon workers will still be seeing many of the familiar faces that have greeted them across food counters in the past. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some cafeterias will continue operating in their current format, with the Navy Exchange taking over management from ARAMARK, until the replacement facility is complete. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each outlet&#39;s pricing will be equivalent to what customers can find at the same outlet inside a 3- to 10-mile radius, Keppler said, adding the restaurants would be setting their own hours of operation. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The restaurants will be set up in several distinct areas in the Pentagon. The largest collection -- including Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Subway, KFC, McDonalds, Market Carvery, Manchu Wok, Togo&#39;s, Menutainment, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin&#39; Donuts and Starbucks -- will be located in the Corridor 10 food court. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A second grouping -- Out Takes, Market Carvery, Subway, KFC Express, Trattoria, Menutainment, The Fresh Grille and Au Bon Pain -- will be located in what is called the 234 food court. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; This portion of the new food service is scheduled to open first while the rest of the outlets will open gradually throughout the year. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The BC Café, located between the B and C Rings between Corridor 7 and 8, will have a Starbucks and Fresh Grille, both of which will operate 24 hours to better serve nocturnal workers at the Pentagon. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The precise location of other food outlets in the Pentagon restaurants can be determined by accessing the Web site: www.whs.pentagon.mil/foodservice/. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The site is currently under construction, but is expected to be up in the next week or so. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Fairly or unfairly, fast food can sometimes be associated with unhealthy eating.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; As a result, the Pentagon&#39;s DiLorenzo TriCare Health Clinic&#39;s Fit to Win Clinic is sponsoring the course Fast Food Follies to help Pentagon workers make good choices when eating out. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next Fast Food Follies course will be offered March 11 and 12 in Room MGA4. For more information, call the Fit to Win Clinic at (703) 692-8898. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Navy Lt. Kwang Kim, clinic dietician, said Taco Bell had tried introducing low-fat versions of its menu items and Subway had capitalized on a customer who had lost weight consuming its sandwiches. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; You can eat healthy at fast food restaurants, he said, &quot;but you have to choose wisely.&quot; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Army Sgt. John Rex, who works in the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Information, Technology and Communications, said he&#39;s happy to see familiar brands coming to the Pentagon. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The food in there is ridiculously overpriced and [soldiers] don&#39;t get anything extra for living in a high cost of living area,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://web.archive.org/web/20020310085117/http://www.dcmilitary.com/army/pentagram/7_08/local_news/14539-1.html&quot;&gt;http://web.archive.org/web/20020310085117/http://www.dcmilitary.com/army/pentagram/7_08/local_news/14539-1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/8328274153836479933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=8328274153836479933' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8328274153836479933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8328274153836479933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2008/09/aramark.html' title='Aramark'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-1863966391756102210</id><published>2008-09-14T15:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T15:57:28.744-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush McCain satire humor</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;border-right: 2px solid #999999;

piece at The Huffington Post by Taylor Marsh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.taylormarsh.com/&quot;&gt;Taylor Marsh&lt;/a&gt;.  She&#39;s all over the place these days, it seems.  She&#39;s shown up on TV shows.  She&#39;s a regular contributor at &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.huffingtonpost.com/search/?sp_a=sp100395aa&amp;amp;sp_k=&amp;amp;sp_p=all&amp;amp;sp_f=ISO-8859-1&amp;amp;sp_q=taylor+marsh&quot;&gt;HuffPo&lt;/a&gt;. I see links to her blogs all over the place. I don&#39;t think you can call Taylor Marsh one of the great opinion shapers of our time, but she&#39;s definitely making an impact in certain circles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She seems to have a lot of oomph among Hillary supporters. Her blog offers a daily dose of crazed Obama bashing and gets hundreds of comments from Clinton true believers who echo her sentiments as if they were gospel.

I figured it was time for someone to find out something more than that about Taylor Marsh and/or to collect available information in one place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ll be honest with you, though. I wasn&#39;t motivated by pure curiosity. I had an ax to grind. Day after day, I find the ramblings of Taylor Marsh and the ass-kissing dittoes of her Hillary-backing fan club more and more irritating. Her remarks are, in my estimation, another sympton of Hillary-induced soul cancer. I think Taylor Marsh sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, I was sort of hoping to find out that Ms. Marsh is a completely unqualified, unimportant, silly hack who just happened to fall into an audience because she decided to pledge an undying allegiance to The Monster during a contentious primary process. Hey, like I said, I had an ax to grind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what?  I did discover that Taylor Marsh fails to meet the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Pundit Worthy of Attention Threshhold&lt;/span&gt;. She is a wee hack with an audience. She does suck--at least on some level. However, she&#39;s also interesting. Believe it or not, I now have an admittedly bizarre newfound respect for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taylor Marsh story has two parts. First, it cautions us to remember that having a slick blog and a knack for PR doesn&#39;t make someone smart, qualified, or credible. Second, it teaches us that anyone can command an audience for his or her opinions. The Taylor Marsh story is about fame for the foolish, attention for the mediocre, and how a kid from Missouri can somehow grow up to be an oft-cited resource among those with an interest in serious matters--even if she might not have any business sharing the stage with serious people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taylor Marsh story is at the intersection of Horatio Alger and Clifford Irving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It starts with Michelle Marshall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MICHELLE MARSHALL... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikUBYWz6MLDWQpOuBaC2dwVO82vUWKEXmZogr9ZFq9REQ1mhCNknsHu7vwz0zF_T2rhgLg-zBxNepKXFjuuRDQt7l4sHVlo0g1nBS4WcppyD4mfaAzlycgUz57YdfDAztPPicqgg/s1600-h/Kiss-My-Tiara-Logo-SML.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 148px; height: 91px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikUBYWz6MLDWQpOuBaC2dwVO82vUWKEXmZogr9ZFq9REQ1mhCNknsHu7vwz0zF_T2rhgLg-zBxNepKXFjuuRDQt7l4sHVlo0g1nBS4WcppyD4mfaAzlycgUz57YdfDAztPPicqgg/s320/Kiss-My-Tiara-Logo-SML.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183649169781272818&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Michelle Marshall was a Missouri girl from a conservative family who entered beauty pageants to earn money for college. She ended up winning the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Missouri&quot;&gt;Miss Missouri&lt;/a&gt; title in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.taylormarsh.com/past.php?phpMyAdmin=d39510181c859910cbc81fab76ec89f9&quot;&gt;1974&lt;/a&gt;. Even though she didn&#39;t take home the big Miss America tiara in Atlantic City, pageant circuit winnings helped her pay her way to Stephens College. Stephens is an all-female college in Columbia, Missouri. Michelle Marshall graduated, receiving a BFA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She left Columbia (and if you&#39;ve ever been there, you&#39;d appreciate the decision) and went to New York. Her good looks, grace and talent landed her on a few &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ibdb.com/person.asp?id=86275&quot;&gt;Broadway&lt;/a&gt; stages.  For whatever reason, Michelle&#39;s Broadway career was brief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s where Michelle Marshall vanishes.  We don&#39;t hear from her again.  Michelle Marshall becomes Taylor Marsh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;TAYLOR MARSH IN LA...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michelle Marshall/Taylor Marsh went to Los Angeles.  She found herself acting as a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/taylor-marsh&quot;&gt;relationship consultant&lt;/a&gt;&quot; for the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;LA Weekly&lt;/span&gt;, a free alternative newspaper. Maybe. Sort of. She claims that experience today, but the details are cloudy. An interview with Marsh indicates that she wrote more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/content/fileadmin/oldsite/2002/08_22/columns_spin.html&quot;&gt;political&lt;/a&gt; pieces. Marsh herself says she wrote relationship columns, but tried to sneak politics into them until someone in the editorial department made her stop. The interesting part of that comment is that Marsh said her future columns ran with an announcement of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=26935&quot;&gt;ADVERTISEMENT&lt;/a&gt; above them.  Usually, if your colum is labeled an &quot;advertisement&quot; it&#39;s because it&#39;s not really a column at all.  It&#39;s an ad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxly4PJSE_OVyHceeB5v9zuaanFRC0lt1UgqBQZ-g8-b1i69O6LY5KGdQhc5yFRlLmObfdPjYwJ2MXMSa-ohzU0uU3MZ0X29hbvCITXeppYZtFk1TQfStuwmmFMbrb2ze9bYsQA/s1600-h/TAYLOR1.bmp&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 173px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxly4PJSE_OVyHceeB5v9zuaanFRC0lt1UgqBQZ-g8-b1i69O6LY5KGdQhc5yFRlLmObfdPjYwJ2MXMSa-ohzU0uU3MZ0X29hbvCITXeppYZtFk1TQfStuwmmFMbrb2ze9bYsQA/s320/TAYLOR1.bmp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187052476096820434&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Who was running the ad?

I also know that Proffer would later become a Marsh ally when Taylor decided she should be a radio host. I also believe that Proffer&#39;s role at the LA Weekly was concentrated on advertising issues&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://johnbrownks.blogspot.com/2008/03/fraud-or-legitimate-pundit-taylor-marsh.html&quot;&gt;http://johnbrownks.blogspot.com/2008/03/fraud-or-legitimate-pundit-taylor-marsh.html&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/6198860738297296051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=6198860738297296051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/6198860738297296051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/6198860738297296051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2008/08/from-johnbrownks.html' title=''/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_qwYKOhUSrXABqPaPQg8yy0S8DUPuvOU2x4P-Hf_7Lo8OLOfzjV3O0cC7BICjES7o0wrK_iytm2KGCdDr08ip3RZYVEgRcp1RA4bMcA_7pzXD1Ai_pOiqYeViSA8aUDp384DJw/s72-c/TAYLOR4.bmp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-8093421830003991904</id><published>2008-08-03T12:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-03T12:19:37.864-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FBI_Anthrax</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class=&quot;entry-header&quot;&gt;A Suggestion to FBI Investigators, RE: Anthrax...&lt;/h3&gt;    &lt;div class=&quot;entry-content&quot;&gt;   &lt;div class=&quot;entry-body&quot;&gt;    &lt;p&gt;I had trouble sleeping last night because one question (among many) that had long bothered me for years began to resurface regarding the 2001 Anthrax attacks on this nation. I don&#39;t know (actually I doubt) if the FBI has considered something interesting about the location of the mail box used to send the letters, post-dated September 18, 2001, &lt;strong&gt;specifically its location&lt;/strong&gt;. Let&#39;s examine a few facts about the letters and their envelopes before I make my suggestion, as it will make more sense once we review the data:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The first set of letters were sent from Trenton, New Jersey&lt;br /&gt;2. At least 1 letter was dated 9/11/2001&lt;br /&gt;3. The envelopes, the first batch, were post-marked 9/18/2001&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;#2 and #3 would suggest that the letters were both written and stuffed with Anthrax spores sometime between 9/11/2001 and the early morning of 9/18/2001. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now let&#39;s consider  that anyone having had the ability to use (and somehow obtain) powered Anthrax, would also not want to be traveling long distances with the substance. So what kept nagging me all this time is why New Jersey?  Of all the places to be right after 9/11, the last place for a bio-terrorist to be would be anywhere near the tri-state area, which was by then crawling with military, FBI, police, etc.  I could not get near my apartment for 3 weeks, which was on Broad St. When I finally got to my neighborhood, I was stopped several times by military officers asking to see my ID, what my purpose was, and insisting on examining my packages (food I had to go above 14th to get).  And I am a blond, downtown-type, that is to say, not someone who would fit the profile of a Muslim extremist. In other words, they were stopping everyone, elderly, male, female, black, white, brown, green or otherwise. The entire  tri-state area was crawling with every government agency one can thing of. So I always found the Trenton location an odd choice for a bio-terrorist, who would have to risk being stopped or risk traveling with such a lethal set of packages. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What this also had always suggested to me is that the terrorist traveled by car, because one would have to carry on board a plane a lethal weapon that a). might be discovered, b). might leak, c). might get confiscated without anyone knowing what it was. There are far too many &quot;ifs&quot; and especially after 9/11, when airports looked like military outposts. Someone smart enough not to leave fingerprints would also be smart enough to use a car, not fly in/out with the substances.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So if the suspect was traveling by car, and likely not going a long distance with such a stash, then that could place the suspects whereabouts within the tri-state area itself between 9/11-9/18.  This had always bugged me because how would one even start looking for someone with this type of expertise (50-100 people in the US, maybe) be located? Were there bio-weapons conferences going on in New York, New Jersey, or CT? Was there a a guest lecturer at any of the Universities during that time or scheduled around that time?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What suddenly struck me yesterday when Ft. Detrick was identified with a suspect for the third time now (the last two being apparently cleared before first  being smeared) is that on September 12, 2001 New York was scheduled to host a joint &quot;war game&quot; or excerice with the New York Police Department and FEMA. The &quot;game&quot; they were scheduled to run was a bio-weapons incident in the city of New York. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;          &lt;div class=&quot;entry-more&quot;&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Here is what suddenly struck me last night (and I am sure someone, somewhere before me has thought of this already): Red X and Tripod II.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/html/2001a/pr149-01.html&quot;&gt;In May of 2001, the city of NYC was told that we would be part of an exercise to test our emergency preparedness&lt;/a&gt; against a biological attack. &lt;strong&gt;This is nothing new, these types of drills are often done and are much needed to be prepared for an emergency (be it drills to test hurricane evacuation methods or wild fires, etc.). There is nothing sinister about these drills, so don&#39;t get crazy on me. &lt;/strong&gt;Anyway, this May exercise was called Operation Red Ex (or Red X). What I had forgotten was that a similar operation was scheduled for September 12, 2001, called Operation Tripod II. &lt;a href=&quot;http://transweb.sjsu.edu/mtiportal/research/publications/documents/Sept11.book.htm#pgfId-1010248&quot;&gt;Here is an account of OEM staff getting ready for the Tripod exercise&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;September 11 was going to be a   busy day at the OEM. Staff members arrived early to prepare for Operation Tripod, an exercise that would test the plan to distribute antibiotics to the entire city population during a bioterrorism attack. The exercise was planned for September 12, with police and fire department cadets to be used  as the simulated civilian population. Pier 92 was set up as a model  distribution station where the &quot;victims&quot; of the mock attack who needed to receive antibiotics would be treated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;Body&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;pgfId-1010315&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The OEM staff heard a plane fly over their building, an unusual sound at that location, then they heard a     popping noise. The kevlar-lined walls of the Emergency Operations Center     deadened the sound of the plane crashing into the 110-story North Tower,  directly across from the OEM offices in World Trade Center Building 7. When  the building shook at 8:46, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Inspector   John Odermatt, OEM&#39;s Commissioner, thought the event might have been a freak accident involving a ground-to-air missile. OEM staff members began to open  the Command Center on the twenty-third floor, but moments later, they  received a message that an airplane had hit the North Tower. From their     window, the OEM staff could see the fireball and could see people running  from the building, as paper floated through the air. At 9:03, a second plane  hit the South Tower. Forty minutes later, a third plane struck the Pentagon. The nation was under attack.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;Body&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://larisaunplugged.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/02/maptrentonfedrick.gif&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open(this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=800,height=461,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39;); return false&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Maptrentonfedrick&quot; title=&quot;Maptrentonfedrick&quot; src=&quot;http://www.atlargely.com/images/2008/08/02/maptrentonfedrick.gif&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;57&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The exercise had everyone in hazmat suits and there was even a mini bio lab created as part of the stage craft. So no one would have thought it odd that someone in a hazmat suit was playing with powder in a lab, it was an exercise, so why would they not be, right? Now, to get from NYC to Ft. Detrick one would take the I95 route, which would take them through where? Trenton. Look at the map to the left (click to enlarge). A four hour trip.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;Body&quot;&gt;My suggestion for the FBI is to find out what scientists were part of Tripod II, narrow down which ones drove the 4 hour path back to Ft. Detrick, and then you might get some answers. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;script src=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Es/typepad/lariska/atlargely?i=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atlargely.com%2F2008%2F08%2Fa-suggestion-to.html&quot;

The Remington shotgun and the 9 mm Glock were purchased Saturday. The Hi Point 380 was purchased Dec. 30, 2007 and the 9 mm S Sauer was purchased Aug. 6, 2007 from the same gun dealer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap, emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 p.m&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;========&lt;br /&gt;Robert Kazmierczak&lt;br /&gt;kazmrczk@pop.life.uiuc.edu&lt;br /&gt;Well done on researching the history of the Kazmierczaks. I occassionally enter people&#39;s names and your site came up. I am the 3rd son of Arthur Kazmierczak (son of Brunislaw Kazmierczak), both of whom were on your geneology chart. For your notes, my f ther passed away on Feb. 6th of this year. I have five siblings...if you wish, I can provide you with detailed birthdate and marrige information on my family as well as Kazmierczak links (my brother Arthur Jr. (Buck) is currently a part owner of an ISP a d is installing internet hubs in the east coast, so we are definitely web-connected.) Once again, well done on the researches. I would like to hear if you manage to get farther back in the Kazmierczak line.

He was the son of a prominent Denver neurosurgeon.&lt;br /&gt;He reportedly first killed two workers at the Youth With a Mission organization and wounded two others before fleeing the scene. According to CNN reports, the gunman worked with the organization a few years ago but had a falling out. He had reportedly sent them several threatening letters prior to the assault.  The school was a training center for missionaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twelve hours later he killed two sisters and their father was wounded in the church parking lot of The New Life Church in Colorado Springs, 70 miles from Denver. He was killed by a female security guard as he entered the church. The gunman threw a hand grenade into the mega church at the start of the second assault. One of the church pastors indicates they had no ties to the gunman. The church has a membership of 7,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The killings came only days after a gunman opened fire in an Omaha, Nebraska mall, killing 8 people and then turning the gun on himself.&lt;br /&gt;http://bittenandbound.com/2007/12/10/matthew-murray-shooter-in-colorado-killings/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/10/colorado.shootings/index.html&lt;br /&gt;It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God,&quot; said Jeanne Assam,&lt;br /&gt;describing her feelings as she confronted a man who charged into her Colorado Springs church Sunday firing a weapon.&lt;br /&gt;Police said a man with a beard, wearing a dark jacket, glasses,&lt;br /&gt;and skullcap, entered the facility, got into a dispute with a staff member about whether he could stay there for the night, and then opened fire.&lt;br /&gt;I was weak, and where I was weak, God made me strong,&quot; she said. &quot;He filled me and he guided me and protected me and many other people. And I&#39;m honored that God chose me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Assam was one of about a dozen volunteer security guards at the church, half of whom are armed, Boyd said. The guards are licensed, trained and screened, and are church members, not &quot;mercenaries,&quot; he said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;National Flight - Ohio  Phil Kazmierczak&lt;br /&gt;National Flight Services Inc  PhilKazmierczak@nationalflight.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.zoominfo.com/people/Kazmierczak_Phil_36046683.aspx&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It didn&#39;t take long for online sleuths to identify the man behind the shootings at Northern Illinois University yesterday. Early this morning, before the police or the Associated Press released his name, online sleuths identified the 27-year-old man as Stephen P. Kazmierczak. Online, he went by &quot;Steve Kaz,&quot; &quot;Kazmier,&quot; and &quot;StatisticsGrad.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working from there, a few blogs went to work at discovering his online accounts and other trails he&#39;s left online. Here&#39;s what we know so far, and I&#39;ll be updating this entry throughout the day as I find more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Academic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned in several news articles, he was the vice-president of the school&#39;s Academic Criminal Justice Association. Their executive officers page lists one of his email addresses, skazmierczak@gmail.com. Searching for that email address shows some discussion list activity from 2004 related to his work, but nothing recent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s his biography for his Vice-President position. (Via Steve Huff from True Crime Weblog.)&lt;br /&gt;Steve served as an undergrad teaching aid for Sociology 388 (corrections) and 488 (juvenile delinquency) in spring, 2004. He has strong interests in justice reform and, as an older sociology/criminal justice major, he brings experience and ideas to the group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Steve Kazmierczak, and I&#39;m a 3rd year student here at NIU. During my sophomore year I served as an aid for the SOCI170 web-board and last semester, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be a team leader for SOCI488-Juvenile Delinquency. Since attending NIU, I&#39;ve worked very hard as a student, and I know that I would be able to forth the same effort as an officer of the ACA. I feel that I&#39;m committed to social justice, and if elected as treasurer I promise to serve the NIU chapter of the ACA to the&lt;br /&gt;best of my ability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following information was retrieved from the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign&#39;s student database before it was removed.

He wrote, &quot;Somebody please help me out, as I am desperate. I need this money to survive, as I am a poor graduate student just trying to make it by, which is why I started using Ebay in the first place, (to supplement the income I made through an assistantship).&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Testimonials&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a few sites, anonymous commenters that reportedly knew Kazmierczak have stepped forward to tell their stories. These are mostly anonymous, so it&#39;s impossible to verify their accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Odd Culture, posted today:&lt;br /&gt;I knew this kid, friend of a friend type deal. He was odd, quiet always gave me a creepy vibe, but then a lot of people give me that so I didn&#39;t think anything of it. Last I remember seeing him was in early jan. he showed me his tattoo&#39;s. They were all graphic an gory, but thats what guys like as tattoos. One was the doll from the Saw movies. I found that a little weird, why would a guy this age have a tattoo of some terrifying doll that signified nothing but a crazy serial killer. It scared me. But whatever floats your boat I thought. Then they started talking about his guns, he didn&#39;t bring it up, but just sat there and said a few things here and there jokingly, but quiet. I immediately thought why in the hell does this kid have a gun? He doesn&#39;t look like a hunter and didn&#39;t live anywhere I would consider dangerous enough for a gun, let alone two. The only thing I could think of is that he needed to prove something to himself or to someone else, since he was tall and gangly, and didn&#39;t look like he was mr popular. It&#39;s scary knowing that I hung out with that kid, that I sat there and discussed these things with him. He is one of those guys that you just know something is wrong with him the first time you meet him, but he&#39;s nice so you figure he is just a little odd. As for a motive goes, I do know that he had some issues with his sexuality, maybe it has something to do with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also posted today on Odd Culture, by someone named &quot;William&quot;:&lt;br /&gt;I can&#39;t believe some of you, I grew up with Steve. I don&#39;t know what happened after we graduated high school to put him down this path but the kid I grew up with was a decent kid. I sat and ate lunch with him from grade school on up, we were in the same classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter how terrible his last acts I can&#39;t reconcile this with the adult I knew graduating high school, and the kid I grew up with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In April 2006, Jim Schaffer posted a very long rant mentioning Kazmierczak on an Aphex Twin fan forum. Radar Online confirmed that Kazmierczak worked at the Elks Grove Pirates Cove children&#39;s theme park in 1995, so this one&#39;s definitely real.&lt;br /&gt;steve motherfucking kazmierczak. yes thats exactly the problem here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was working at pirates cove in late 1995 and i was you know $4.50/hr child labor laws be damned and like i remember steve kazmierczak, the kind of kid who engaged in odd acts of fellatio with his dog, the kind of kid who&#39;d go and masturbate in the bathroom while you were over at his house, the kind of person who injured kids on the train ride cuz he was mental and he shouldn&#39;t be given domain over kids on little faux-traincars with an aluminum baseball bat... when steve fucking kazmierczak ran up to me in late 95 early 96 proudly boasting his brand new copy of &quot;i care because you do&quot; like he was finally in with the cool kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;both me and my friend joe died a little bit that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, an anonymous commenter on The Copycat Effect wrote:&lt;br /&gt;I attended just about every position with Steve at NIU. My senior year he was my Teachers Assistant for a quantitative research methods course. I would have never expected Steve to become involved in such a massive tragedy. He was always very nice, helpful, and a scholar. It is really a shame that he went and did something like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comments&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Aphex Twin will get blamed for it like Marilyn Manson got blamed for Columbine. How awesome would that be?&lt;br /&gt;posted by tim on February 15, 2008 12:38 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any word on what video games he played?&lt;br /&gt;posted by nowak on February 15, 2008 1:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Then they started talking about his guns,&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s BS, because he bought his guns the saturday before the shooting.&lt;br /&gt;posted by wizardpc on February 15, 2008 1:34 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which one was he on: Effexor or Paxil? Either one causes huge withdrawal problems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When are we going to learn about these meds?&lt;br /&gt;posted by JohnEBoy on February 15, 2008 2:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man was that a diaster&lt;br /&gt;posted by Gerardo on February 15, 2008 2:28 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bought two guns this week but had a couple of others well before this week.&lt;br /&gt;posted by Scoot on February 15, 2008 2:30 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People sometimes get emotionally disturbed. They get angry. They get despondent. If guns are readily available to those people, they are more likely to kill themselves and kill other people than if guns were not readily available to them. The people who see these mass shootings as a justification for a proliferation of guns are putting their political ideology ahead of common sense. More guns in the hands of angry and despondent people means MORE violence, not less.&lt;br /&gt;posted by Tim Bracken on February 15, 2008 2:41 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i don&#39;t know what was wrong with this guy he does not looking to be a problem.i&#39;m so sorry for those who were killed and for those who were wounded.i pray for all students at NIU.we need better securities at ours campuses and keep ours students safer.NIU students god bless you all.and god bless AMERICA.keep ours students safe.&lt;br /&gt;posted by zemina on February 15, 2008 3:18 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how did the guy go from being a junior in high school in 2004 (according to the website blog) and a senior in 2005 (according to the LJ) to being 27 in 2008?!? He would be 21. You&#39;ve seriously got the wrong guy! There must be plenty of &quot;Steve Kaz*&quot;s out there and this just doesn&#39;t add up. Though the photo released looks like he&#39;s closer to 21 than the reported 27.&lt;br /&gt;posted by Tamara on February 15, 2008 3:30 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Livejournal account wasn&#39;t his.&lt;br /&gt;posted by Andy Baio on February 15, 2008 3:36 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a search on &quot;Effexor withdrawal&quot; and you&#39;ll see what caused him to go absolutely beserk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This stuff is WICKED!&lt;br /&gt;posted by Barney Rubble on February 15, 2008 4:01 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to NIU campus Police there were 4 guns used. he could have easily had 2 guns months before he bought them on the 9th. Also, if he was a gradaute of 07 from NIU, he could have been 21 but if you look at NIU&#39;s site, he was 27.&lt;br /&gt;posted by samantha on February 15, 2008 4:41 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cannot underestimate the importance of med withdrawal to this tragedy. SSRI&#39;s are NOT what Big Pharma cranks them up to be.&lt;br /&gt;anyone looking for &quot;why&#39;s&quot; would be wise to start w/the meds. He is not the first to go berserk and with SSRI&#39;s like candy in America, most likely he&#39;s not the last.&lt;br /&gt;posted by jeffrey on February 15, 2008 6:26 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe it about the meds. What I don&#39;t understand is why do some people (I think most) try to commit suicide while others lash out like Steve did?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it..he did take himself out to but the fact remains he couldn&#39;t go without taking&lt;br /&gt;others.

Politicians, journalists, and academics alike have posited an inherent connection between Wahhabism, violence, extremism, intolerance and fanaticism that culminated in the terrorist acts undertaken by Usama bin Ladin’s al-Qaida network based on the fact that 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In such a politically and emotionally charged atmosphere, fear, denunciation, and protectionism have often trumped careful academic analysis of the origins, developments and current manifestations of Wahhabism in its varied forms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an attempt to highlight the origins and contemporary trends of Wahhabism, giving particular attention to the issues of jihad and takfiri ideology and how they are being reformed [1]. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Founding Principles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;table class=&quot;highlightBox&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takfir&lt;/em&gt; was not a tenet of Wahhabism as originally founded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;Wahhabism began as an Islamic revival (&lt;em&gt;tajdid&lt;/em&gt;) and reform (&lt;em&gt;islah&lt;/em&gt;) movement in 18th century Arabia. Founded by Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab, a scholar and jurist from Najd, Wahhabism sought to return Muslims, both women and men, to the direct, personal study of the Qur’an and Sunnah (example of the Prophet Muhammad) in order to break away from adherence to past tradition (&lt;em&gt;taqlid&lt;/em&gt;) in favor of renewed and refreshed interpretation (&lt;em&gt;ijtihad&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;Although Wahhabism today is often accused of ignoring Islam’s long history of scholarship and interpretation, Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab himself frequently cited the rulings of the founders not only of the four extant mainstream Sunni Islamic law schools (&lt;em&gt;madhahib&lt;/em&gt;), but also two extinct Sunni schools and one Shii school, in his discussions of legal principles prior to coming to his own conclusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He did not accept any interpreter, including Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taymiyya, as being authoritative. Only the Qur’an enjoyed such authoritative status. The hadith enjoyed such authoritative status only when they were in keeping with the teachings and, most importantly, values of the Qur’an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wahhabism’s central theme was &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt;, meaning absolute monotheism. Adherence to &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt; was reflected in the terminology used by the movement to describe itself – &lt;em&gt;muwahhidun&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;ahl al-tawhid&lt;/em&gt;, meaning those dedicated to the central principle of tawhid as reflected in their insistence upon the absolute uniqueness of God so that nothing and no one should ever be associated with God, a practice known as &lt;em&gt;shirk&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tawhid&lt;/em&gt; vs. &lt;em&gt;Shirk&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The centrality of &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt; to the worldview of Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab is reflected in his most widespread work, &lt;em&gt;Kitab al-Tawhid&lt;/em&gt;, which outlined in detail the impact that belief in tawhid was intended to have in guiding one’s life and actions, particularly interactions with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab himself emphasized the need for an invitational approach to Islam, known as &lt;em&gt;daw’ah&lt;/em&gt;, historically, the thematic focus on &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;shirk&lt;/em&gt; led to the development of a &lt;em&gt;takfiri&lt;/em&gt; ideology by some Wahhabis in which those who disagree with Wahhabi ideology are denounced as infidels (&lt;em&gt;kuffar&lt;/em&gt;) who are subject to jihad as holy war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because this practice has been controversial both historically and in the contemporary era, it is important to note that &lt;em&gt;takfir&lt;/em&gt; was not a tenet of Wahhabism as originally founded. Indeed, Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab did not declare anyone who disagreed with him to be either a &lt;em&gt;kafir&lt;/em&gt; (infidel or unbeliever) or a &lt;em&gt;mushrik&lt;/em&gt; (associationist).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He reserved these terms for individuals who had committed certain actions – either making the declaration of faith in Islam after studying the religion and then publicly rejecting that faith or engaging in downright idolatry (thus rendering the person a &lt;em&gt;kafir&lt;/em&gt;), or committing an action that violated God’s &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt;, such as praying to a saint for intercession or using a talisman for good luck (thus rendering a person a &lt;em&gt;mushrik&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab did not use the terms interchangeably because he recognized that being a &lt;em&gt;kafir&lt;/em&gt; was a deliberate act of the will that could occur only after receiving instruction in the faith, while being a &lt;em&gt;mushrik&lt;/em&gt; was something that a person could do accidentally due to ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consequently, he taught that the correct approach to dealing with both cases was to call the person back to the faith and instruct him or her as to why the commission of these actions was wrong. Only if the person persisted in apostasy (rejecting the faith of Islam after previously declaring oneself to be a Muslim) to the point of refusing to allow Muslims to practice their own faith might the death penalty be considered and this only in the case of an individual, not in the case of a community or collective body.  In other words, being a &lt;em&gt;mushrik&lt;/em&gt; or a &lt;em&gt;kafir&lt;/em&gt; in and of itself was not sufficient reason to fight or kill an individual or a group of people [2].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jihad in Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab&#39;s Worldview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;highlightBox&quot; style=&quot;height: 129px;&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; width=&quot;215&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab wrote only one treatise on jihad, whose purpose was to limit, rather than to expand, the circumstances under which jihad could be declared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;As long as Muslims were free to practice and study their faith, Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab permitted them to live even among the &lt;em&gt;kuffar&lt;/em&gt;, although this was not necessarily desirable [3].  This position stands in marked contrast to extremist groups like the Kharijites and al-Qaida, who declare anyone who disagrees with them to be a &lt;em&gt;kafir&lt;/em&gt; subject to jihad as holy war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;It also stands in marked contrast to how a more exclusivist interpretation of Wahhabism has been put into practice in certain times and places, based on adherence to a literal and selective interpretation of the teachings of Ibn Taymiyya, such as by the Wahhabi adherents who sacked the shrines and massacred the Shii populations in Najaf and Karbala in 1802 and by the Ikhwan who helped to unite portions of Saudi Arabia in the late 1920s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike &lt;em&gt;tawhid&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;shirk&lt;/em&gt;, jihad was not a prominent theme in Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab’s legal and theological writings. Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab wrote only one treatise – &lt;em&gt;Kitab al-Jihad&lt;/em&gt; – on jihad, the purpose of which was to limit, rather than to expand, the circumstances under which jihad could justifiably be declared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The treatise details the parameters of how jihad is to be engaged, by whom and against whom, and for what purposes, with emphasis on restrictions to fighting, killing and the destruction of property, limitation of jihad to the self-defense of a geographically limited and specific Muslim community under military attack or the imminent threat of military attack, and the assertion of jihad as a collective (&lt;em&gt;fard kifayah&lt;/em&gt;), rather than individual (&lt;em&gt;fard ‘ayn&lt;/em&gt;), duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab absolutely forbade the killing of civilians and non-combatants, whether during the conflict or afterward, prohibited rape and plunder as tools of war or reward for combatants, and denied the use of jihad for the singular purpose of expansion of political power and territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his interpretation, jihad was intended to be used strictly for the defense of the Muslim community and its right to practice its faith freely [4].  He specifically stated that differences of opinion in religious interpretation were not justifications for engaging in jihad or violence. Such religious differences were to be addressed through the use of da’wah as a means of debate and education [5].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wahhabism vs. Jihadism&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;highlightBox&quot; style=&quot;height: 160px;&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; width=&quot;184&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab did not assert a permanent division of the world into the House of Islam and the House of War as contemporary jihadis do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;These major themes suggest a marked difference between Wahhabism and the contemporary ideology of jihadism with its focus on the establishment of an Islamic state ruled by the Sharia (by force, if necessary), consideration of multiple levels of “offensive” and “defensive” activities, including not only physical “attacks,” but also political, economic, financial, moral, religious, and cultural “attacks,” and even simple disagreement, and ongoing, unlimited global jihad that is the obligation of the individual (&lt;em&gt;fard ‘ayn&lt;/em&gt;), rather than of the community (&lt;em&gt;fard kifayah&lt;/em&gt;) [6].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;With respect to interactions with non-Wahhabi or non-Muslim communities, Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab did not assert a permanent division of the world into the House of Islam (&lt;em&gt;dar al-Islam&lt;/em&gt;) and the House of War (&lt;em&gt;dar al-harb&lt;/em&gt;) as contemporary jihadis do. Instead, he called for the establishment of a formal relationship via a truce or armistice (resulting in &lt;em&gt;dar al-sulh&lt;/em&gt;) as a matter of public interest (&lt;em&gt;maslahah&lt;/em&gt;), making it clear that a permanent state of jihad was neither desirable nor in keeping with public interest [7].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contractual relationships could be established with Christians, Jews and other religions with a revealed Scripture [8]  (referred to as either &lt;em&gt;ahl al-kitab&lt;/em&gt;, People of the Book, or &lt;em&gt;ahl al-dhimmah&lt;/em&gt;, People of the Covenant) to be governed by payment of the &lt;em&gt;jizyah&lt;/em&gt; (poll tax) in exchange for security provided by the Muslims. Once made and as long as the &lt;em&gt;jizyah&lt;/em&gt; is paid, this contract is eternally binding and cannot be broken by the Muslims, even during war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;em&gt;dhimmi&lt;/em&gt; have the right to retain and practice their own faith, raise their children in that faith, and be rescued or ransomed by Muslims in the event that they are taken prisoner during a war.  Once ransomed, the full freedom, property and security of the &lt;em&gt;dhimmi&lt;/em&gt; are to be restored.  Based on the example of the Prophet and as a matter of public interest (&lt;em&gt;maslahah&lt;/em&gt;), Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab further extended this contractual arrangement to the &lt;em&gt;kuffar&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;mushrikun&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Rafidah&lt;/em&gt; (literally apostates, but often used to refer to Shiites).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These teachings by the founder of Wahhabism provide a basis for establishing formal relationships with non-Wahhabis, both Muslim and non-Muslim, that respect the right of non-Wahhabis to both practice their religion and be included as part of the community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The historical record clearly contains examples both of adherence to this idea and rejection of it in favor of a more exclusivist stance. Today, there are indications that the Saudi government and religious establishment are reconsidering and reclaiming, at least in theory, this foundational stance, with some steps being taken toward putting theory into practice through reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;p class=&quot;MsoEndnoteText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodyContent&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica;font-size:78%;&quot;  &gt;[1] For more detailed analysis of the legal and theological works of Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab and their comparison and contrast to contemporary jihadi ideology, see Natana J.

     &lt;b&gt;Publication date:  &lt;/b&gt; 06 January 2008 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dropping temperatures in New Orleans appear to have caused two homeless people to die of hypothermia, officials say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Orleans Parish coroner&#39;s office said Friday frigid temperatures likely caused a homeless man and woman to die of body heat loss in separate incidents this week, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Officials said the body of 48-year-old Janice Collins was found Thursday on a sidewalk by a concerned citizen and responding emergency officials pronounced her dead at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Collins&#39; relatives reportedly had offered her a place in their home during the nearly 28-degree weather, but she chose to live under the Crescent City Connection instead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two hours after Collins&#39; body was found, 54-year-old Michael Przesmycki&#39;s body was found in a New Orleans parking lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The newspaper said that after Przesmycki was pronounced dead at the scene by responding paramedics, both bodies were examined by coroners and their condition was found to be consistent with hypothermia. &lt;/p&gt;Copyright 2008 by United Press International&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;=========&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0328/p03s03-ussc.html&quot;&gt;The city has double the homeless it had before hurricane Katrina &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0328/p03s03-ussc.html&quot;&gt;– but far fewer emergency shelters.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;March 28, 2007 edition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;dateline&quot;&gt;NEW ORLEANS - &lt;/span&gt;Up to 40 people were believed to be living in the Economy Motor Lodge on Tulane Avenue when a fire struck the long-abandoned property on the night of March 7. Located six blocks from the mayor&#39;s office and just down the street from the Superdome, the fire was the fourth at the boarded-up motel since hurricane Katrina. Rescue workers spent the next day searching the ashes for possible victims. None were found, though one man who had apparently slept though the blaze emerged from the building the next morning. The city has since ordered the property torn down. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Behind that four-alarm fire lies a disturbing trend: Hurricane-ravaged New Orleans faces a major crisis with homelessness. Already taxed to the breaking point on many fronts, the city has a homeless population that is now approximately double what existed before the storm – in a city half its previous size. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Facing a severe shortage of affordable housing, displaced residents returning to the city along with an influx of construction trade workers are being forced to sleep in everything from cars to flooded-out houses to long-abandoned motels, as Katrina relief workers from across the country still struggle to fill gaping holes in the city&#39;s social services. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;&quot;The vast majority of emergency shelters have not been reopened since Katrina,&quot; says Martha Kegel, executive director of UNITY, a regional collaborative of 60 agencies serving the homeless. &quot;There&#39;s an enormous shortage of housing and people are desperate. Do we have the resources to deal with this problem? No.&quot; &lt;/p&gt; more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0328/p03s03-ussc.html&quot;&gt;The city has double the homeless it had before hurricane Katrina &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0328/p03s03-ussc.html&quot;&gt;– but far fewer emergency shelters.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/link&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/7922813998243232426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=7922813998243232426' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/7922813998243232426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/7922813998243232426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-orleans-homless-in-tents.html' title='New Orleans Homless in TENTS'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7aIv_F5a3vrnGlk-Q9WutNsORdjcbPY5gPc6npjVz5KfYn9I1dG-nX8wb5AOX-scoT70ruywBGaAg_SNxrLFR5qWvCvBWn2cZGqP5XJWjyIvxr-p081XSk6XlvFMqQRL-QeCRg/s72-c/000_0131-800.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-2819879631528022618</id><published>2008-01-05T14:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-05T14:22:49.308-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="election"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="politics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="vote"/><title type='text'>2 election workers get 18 months for rigging presidential recount</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/link&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;published&quot;&gt;Article published Tuesday, March 13, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;articletitle&quot;&gt;2 election workers get 18 months for rigging presidential recount&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;span class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;ASSOCIATED PRESS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;article&quot;&gt;CLEVELAND (AP) — A judge suspicious of more corruption pressed two former election board workers to tell what they know and then sentenced them today to the maximum 18 months in prison for rigging the 2004 presidential election recount to make their job easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I can’t help but feel there’s more to this story,” said Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Peter Corrigan, who allowed the women to remain free on bond pending appeal. Some of their friends and relatives sobbed as the judge imposed the sentence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge repeatedly asked Jacqueline Maiden, 60, an election coordinator who was the Cuyahoga County board’s third-highest ranking employee, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer, 40, if higher-ups in the board had directed the recount rigging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It seems unlikely your supervisors wouldn’t know,” the judge prodded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The women, standing side by side, said they had cooperated with a state investigation of the elections board in Ohio’s most populous county. The board has been a lightning rod for critics wary since Ohio gave the 2004 election to President Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This big conspiracy, it’s not there,” Dreamer said. She said she wasn’t protecting anyone at the board and had been truthful in the investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maiden said she wouldn’t lie, even to protect someone. “I’ve never tried to do anything underhanded,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the judge sounded skeptical. “Telling the whole truth, that’s what’s important,” Corrigan said. “I’m not convinced you’ve done that.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erie County Prosecutor Kevin Baxter, appointed as an outside investigator to look into the election board in Cleveland, told that judge that the women had been uncooperative in the investigation and appealed for prison time for both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The defendants have never come clean,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosecutors said the employees broke the law when they worked behind closed doors three days before the Dec. 16, 2004, recount to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand so they could avoid a lengthier, more expensive hand recount of all votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baxter criticized the outspoken support for the women from Robert Bennett, the election board chairman and head of the Republican Party in Ohio. Endorsing such criminal behavior is “amazing, it’s astounding,” according to Baxter, who didn’t indicate if the investigation might lead to more charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bennett said later in response that the prosecution was politically motivated and directed against Michael Vu — who quit as board director last month — and said he felt any errors by Maiden, a Democrat, or Dreamer, a Republican, were inadvertent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If they made mistakes, they were honest mistakes. They are not criminals and for anybody to paint them as criminals is a travesty of justice,” Bennett said. He knew of no criminal wrongdoing at the board run by himself, another Republican and two Democrats, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each defendant was convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maiden and Dreamer also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty. Both were acquitted of five other charges, and a co-defendant who was an assistant manager of the ballot department was acquitted of all seven counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohio gave Bush the electoral votes he needed to defeat Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the election and hold on to the White House in 2004. Kerry beat Bush in Democratic Cuyahoga County 448,486 to 221,606.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prosecutor did not claim the rigged recount affected the outcome of the election — Kerry gained 17 votes and Bush lost six in the county recount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge rejected a motion for a new trial on the defense claim that official election duties are the responsibility of election board members, not employees.&lt;br /&gt;http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070313/NEWS24/70313029&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://batcave911.stumbleupon.com/review/15889366/&quot;&gt;http://batcave911.stumbleupon.com/review/15889366/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/2819879631528022618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=2819879631528022618' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/2819879631528022618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/2819879631528022618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2008/01/2-election-workers-get-18-months-for.html' title='2 election workers get 18 months for rigging presidential recount'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-6526895296858788620</id><published>2008-01-04T14:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T15:13:18.667-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DARPA"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="RAND"/><title type='text'>NSA Gets Real Time Access to Your Email</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://laukev7.stumbleupon.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 83px; height: 83px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/mediumpics/204651.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/link&quot;&gt;         NSA Gets Real Time Access to Your Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stumbleupon.com/images/s.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Liked it&quot; class=&quot;iconThumbUp&quot; /&gt;                          &lt;a href=&quot;http://laukev7.stumbleupon.com/review/15417694/&quot;&gt;Dec 19, 2007 11:54pm&lt;/a&gt;                                  &lt;span class=&quot;blogUrl&quot;&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/link&quot;&gt;        &lt;/a&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;445&quot;&gt;         &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;            &lt;td height=&quot;47&quot; width=&quot;397&quot;&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;mediumtext1&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kurt Nimmo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisonplanet.com/index.html&quot;&gt;Prison Planet &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Wednesday, December 19, 2007&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;td valign=&quot;bottom&quot; width=&quot;17&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;td valign=&quot;bottom&quot; width=&quot;17&quot;&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;headllinenew&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;headlinenew&quot;&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;headlinenew&quot;&gt;                &lt;script language=&quot;&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; digg_title = &#39;NSA Gets Real Time Access to Your Email&#39;; digg_bodytext = &#39;The NSA is reading your email and everything you type in your IM client ? and in real time, that is to say there is no delay in the timeliness of the information, the underwear drawer snoopers have the ability to read your IMs as you type them.&#39;; &lt;/script&gt;               &lt;script language=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; &lt;/script&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;         &lt;/tr&gt;       &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;       &lt;div id=&quot;main&quot;&gt;          &lt;div id=&quot;story&quot;&gt;            &lt;div class=&quot;entry&quot;&gt;              &lt;div class=&quot;intro&quot;&gt;                &lt;p class=&quot;subhead&quot;&gt; It was inevitable: the Advanced Research Projects                  Agency, later to become &lt;a href=&quot;http://911review.org/Alex/TV_fake_DARPA.html&quot;&gt;DARPA&lt;/a&gt;, right out of the Pentagon, created                  the internet.

name=&quot;storyBody&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Aug. 22) --&lt;/strong&gt; Federal authorities have new leads in their investigation into the deaths of 71 wild horses on the Tonopah Test Range. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As the &lt;em&gt;Channel 8 I-Team&lt;/em&gt; first reported earlier this week, 71 horses died after drinking water laced with high levels of nitrates. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The BLM has been investigating, but that probe is hampered because the Tonopah Range is a restricted area where classified military research is conducted. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A former Tonopah employee told the&lt;em&gt; I-Team&lt;/em&gt; that the nitrates in the water probably came from chemicals used to de-ice runways at the military base. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Environmental Protection Agency isn&#39;t saying much about that, and no one else is sure how the water was poisoned. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In previous years, dozens of wild horses have been killed in the same area and Tonopah employees even ran a betting pool about how many would eventually die. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Aug. 20) --&lt;/strong&gt; The BLM and Air Force have a mystery on their hands -- what killed 71 wild horses up on the Nellis Range? Government scientists say a chemical in the water is what killed the horses, but they have no idea how it got there. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The BLM and Air Force say high levels of nitrates in a water hole killed the horses, but how did the nitrates get in the water in the first place? If there&#39;s a chemical in the water that can kill 71 wild horses, is it also a danger to people? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This has happened before, and if history tells us anything, it&#39;s that we shouldn&#39;t expect answers anytime soon... or ever. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Tonopah Test Range in Central Nevada is one of those classified playgrounds where all sorts of military toys are tested. It&#39;s off limits to everyone else, and even the BLM needed special permission to go out there to investigate the deaths of 71 wild horses. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Photographs of the scene were not allowed but testing conducted by both BLM and the Air Force point to high levels of nitrates as the killer.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;Nitrates can be a natural occurrence in the soil. Those nitrates could always have been in that body of water. It&#39;s normally a six to eight foot deep pond, and due to the lack of rain, the pond decreased to a foot and a half. The level of nitrate concentration is one we&#39;ve never seen before,&quot; said Pat Putnam, a BLM wild horse specialist.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wild horses are tough animals. They can eat anything and survive by drinking the foulest water imaginable. Wild horse experts like Jerry Reynoldson think it&#39;s highly suspicious that so many could die like this, especially since other animals, including coyotes and birds, drank the same water from the same hole but weren&#39;t affected. They wonder if the horses were intentionally poisoned.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;We haven&#39;t ruled out anything in particular. A toxicity is a form of poisoning, whether it was done intentionally or not. It doesn&#39;t seem to look like that. To get onto the base, it&#39;s a high security level area,&quot; said Putnam.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But it&#39;s no secret that environmental poisons are buried and burned at secure areas in Nevada, including Area 51, the sister facility to the Tonopah Test Range. Classified workers have shown a callous attitude toward wild horses in the past. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Back in 1988, a betting pool was posted at Tonopah. The person who guessed the final number of dead horses at a water hole won the prize -- 61 horses died then and it wasn&#39;t because of something natural in the dirt.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;Basically, it was found that a subcontractor had ruled out some vats of some material that had high amounts of urea in it, because they were washed out on the playa and didn&#39;t permeate into the soil. The horses came and drank out of that,&quot; said Putnam.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If something similar happened this time, chances are the BLM isn&#39;t going to be able to find out. The military is doing its own testing of the soil, water, and carcasses but they&#39;re not going to tell BLM or the public about any classified projects that may or may not have contributed to horse deaths.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;We are not privy to that information,&quot; said Putnam.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The most troubling question is also unanswered. Is there something in the water out there that could migrate beyond the borders of the military range, something that could pose a threat to more than a few dozen wild horses?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just to re-emphasize, there is no proof that anyone intentionally poisoned the horses or that anything bad might spread beyond the Tonopah test range. What we have are questions that are unlikely to be answered because of the classified work that goes on up there. Essentially, we will have to take the military&#39;s word for it that nothing shady is going on up there. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gknapp@klastv.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Email your comments to Chief Investigative Reporter George Knapp.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6958025&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

legislation to expand its wiretapping powers, according to a leading congressman and a legal source who has been briefed on the matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;The order by a judge on the top-secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court has never been publicly acknowledged by administration officials—and the details of it (including the identity of the judge who wrote it) remain highly classified. But the judge, in an order several months ago, apparently concluded that the administration had overstepped its legal authorities in conducting warrantless eavesdropping even under the scaled-back surveillance program that the White House first agreed to permit the FISA court to review earlier this year, said one lawyer who has been briefed on the order but who asked not to be publicly identified because of its sensitivity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;The first public reference to the order came obliquely this week from House Minority Leader John Boehner—one of a number of senior Republicans who have been leading the White House-backed campaign to persuade Congress to rush through an expanded eavesdropping measure before it leaves for August recess at the end of this week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;He and other GOP leaders have said that the country will be at a greater risk of a terrorist attack if Congress doesn&#39;t act immediately—and they have accused Democrats of &quot;playing politics&quot; by balking at some of the provisions the administration is seeking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;&quot;There&#39;s been a ruling, over the last four or five months, that prohibits the ability of our intelligence services and our counterintelligence people from listening in to two terrorists in other parts of the world where the communication could come through the United States,&quot; Boehner said on an interview with Fox News anchor Neal Cavuto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;&quot;This means that our intelligence agencies are missing a wide swath of potential information that could help protect the American people,&quot; Boehner added. &quot;The Democrats have known about this for months.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;Boehner&#39;s description of the scope of the ruling appears to focus on one key feature of the surveillance program—the large-scale tapping without warrants of telecommunications &quot;switches&quot; located in the United States; they are used to rout international calls even when both parties are overseas. But there are indications the ruling has in some instances interfered with the National Security Agency&#39;s ability to intercept phone calls where one of the parties is in the United States, as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;Under President Bush&#39;s original executive order creating the surveillance program after the September 11 attacks, the NSA eavesdropped on such calls (including those with at least one party inside the country) without seeking specific warrants from the FISA court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;But last January, partly in a bid to quell criticism from Democrats and civil liberties groups, the administration agreed to submit the entire surveillance program to the FISA court for review. Much about the process has never been explained publicly. But at some point after the new program began, one of the FISA judges—who, by rotation, was assigned to review the program for periodic updates—concluded that some aspects of the warrantless eavesdropping program exceeded the NSA&#39;s authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the basic 1978 law that governs eavesdropping of espionage and terrorist suspects, said the lawyer who had been briefed on the ruling. The judge refused to reauthorize the complete program in the way it had been previously approved by at least one earlier FISA judge, the lawyer said, adding that the secret decision was a &quot;big deal&quot; for the administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;It was only after that ruling that Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell this spring began urging Congress to pass an emergency &quot;fix&quot; that would clarify and specifically grant the NSA authority to tap switches based in the United States without review by the FISA court. The administration effort has accelerated in recent weeks—and won the support of key Democratic leaders—amid warnings from the intelligence community that the country is facing greater risk of a new terrorist attack due in large part to the resurgence of Al Qaeda in Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;Congressional aides (who asked not to be identified talking about ongoing negotiations) said today that Democratic and Republican leaders of the intelligence committees met until late Tuesday night trying to reach an agreement on a short-term measure that would grant some of the enhanced authority—including the ability to tap telecommunications switches without warrants—that the administration is seeking. One stumbling block that has emerged: the administration&#39;s insistence that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales be given an expanded role to oversee the program—a particularly controversial move at the moment, given new allegations that the embattled attorney general has misled Congress about legal disputes over the surveillance program. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, said today in a statement that he has &quot;become convinced that we must take some immediate but interim step&quot; to expand surveillance, but that the administration proposal to grant Gonzales greater authority &quot;is simply unacceptable.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;In a conference call with reporters today, Sen. Kit Bond, a Missouri Republican and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, lashed out at Democrats because they are resisting language in the administration proposal that would give Gonzales a new oversight role over the program. &quot;The Democrats don&#39;t trust anybody in the administration,&quot; Bond said when asked about the objections to expanding Gonzales&#39;s role. &quot;They didn&#39;t like Scooter Libby, they don&#39;t like Karl Rove and most of all they don&#39;t like President Bush.

cursor: pointer;&quot; id=&quot;lw_1185521245_0&quot;&gt;Pat Tillman&lt;/span&gt;&#39;s forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player&#39;s death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lrec&quot;&gt;&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot;&gt;f(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object();

                       &lt;p&gt;&quot;The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described,&quot; a doctor who examined Tillman&#39;s body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ultimately, the &lt;span style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot; id=&quot;lw_1185521245_1&quot;&gt;Pentagon&lt;/span&gt; did conduct a criminal investigation, and asked Tillman&#39;s comrades whether he was disliked by his men and whether they had any reason to believe he was deliberately killed. &lt;span style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot; id=&quot;lw_1185521245_2&quot;&gt;The Pentagon&lt;/span&gt; eventually ruled that Tillman&#39;s death at the hands of his comrades was a friendly-fire accident.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The medical examiners&#39; suspicions were outlined in 2,300 pages of testimony released to the AP this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Among other information contained in the documents:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;• In his last words moments before he was killed, Tillman snapped at a panicky comrade under fire to shut up and stop &quot;sniveling.&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;• Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;• The three-star general who kept the truth about Tillman&#39;s death from his family and the public told investigators some 70 times that he had a bad memory and couldn&#39;t recall details of his actions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;• No evidence at all of enemy fire was found at the scene — no one was hit by enemy fire, nor was any government equipment struck.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Pentagon and the Bush administration have been criticized in recent months for lying about the circumstances of Tillman&#39;s death. The military initially told the public and the Tillman family that he had been killed by enemy fire. Only weeks later did the Pentagon acknowledge he was gunned down by fellow Rangers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With questions lingering about how high in the Bush administration the deception reached, Congress is preparing for yet another hearing next week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Pentagon is separately preparing a new round of punishments, including a stinging demotion of retired Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger Jr., 60, according to military officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the punishments under consideration have not been made public.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In more than four hours of questioning by the Pentagon inspector general&#39;s office in December 2006, Kensinger repeatedly contradicted other officers&#39; testimony, and sometimes his own. He said on some 70 occasions that he did not recall something.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At one point, he said: &quot;You&#39;ve got me really scared about my brain right now. I&#39;m really having a problem.&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tillman&#39;s mother, Mary Tillman, who has long suggested that her son was deliberately killed by his comrades, said she is still looking for answers and looks forward to the congressional hearings next week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&quot;Nothing is going to bring Pat back. It&#39;s about justice for Pat and justice for other soldiers. The nation has been deceived,&quot; she said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The documents show that a doctor who autopsied Tillman&#39;s body was suspicious of the three gunshot wounds to the forehead. The doctor said he took the unusual step of calling the Army&#39;s Human Resources Command and was rebuffed. He then asked an official at the Army&#39;s Criminal Investigation Division if the CID would consider opening a criminal case. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &quot;He said he talked to his higher headquarters and they had said no,&quot; the doctor testified. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also according to the documents, investigators pressed officers and soldiers on a question Mrs. Tillman has been asking all along. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Have you, at any time since this incident occurred back on April 22, 2004, have you ever received any information even rumor that Cpl. Tillman was killed by anybody within his own unit intentionally?&quot; an investigator asked then-Capt. Richard Scott. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Scott, and others who were asked, said they were certain the shooting was accidental. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Investigators also asked soldiers and commanders whether Tillman was disliked, whether anyone was jealous of his celebrity, or if he was considered arrogant. They said Tillman was respected, admired and well-liked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The documents also shed new light on Tillman&#39;s last moments. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been widely reported by the AP and others that Spc. Bryan O&#39;Neal, who was at Tillman&#39;s side as he was killed, told investigators that Tillman was waving his arms shouting &quot;Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat (expletive) Tillman, damn it!&quot; again and again. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; But the latest documents give a different account from a chaplain who debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman was killed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The chaplain said that O&#39;Neal told him he was hugging the ground at Tillman&#39;s side, &quot;crying out to God, help us. And Tillman says to him, `Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God&#39;s not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070726/ap_on_re_us/tillman_friendly_fire;_ylt=AlGiIfbhJtGDTYu0n02oDM.s0NUE&quot;&gt;http://news.yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/8307857757307093641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=8307857757307093641' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8307857757307093641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8307857757307093641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2007/07/pat-tillman.html' title='Pat-Tillman'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-7130230103652966284</id><published>2007-06-03T12:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-03T15:13:01.141-07:00</updated><title type='text'>new terror plot - deFreitas  - Guyana</title><content type='html'>&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;Large Heading TopPadSmall&quot; valign=&quot;bottom&quot; width=&quot;55%&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to deFreitas.info - Guyana branch&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the de Freitas family Web site!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.defreitas.info/&quot;&gt;http://www.defreitas.info/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;family links&lt;br /&gt;http://www.defreitas.info/Links.htm&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roger de Freitas and Clive Bettencourt-Gomes&lt;br /&gt;Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Disturbances in British Guiana in February 1962&lt;br /&gt;3.

The fourth man was being sought, and officials said additional people may face charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The airport worker, Russell Defreitas, 63, through the assistance of the member of Parliament, Abdul Kadir, was in the process of seeking the financial backing and blessing of a Trinidadian terrorist group, Jamaat Al Muslimeen. The group was behind a failed 1990 coup attempt in that country, officials said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several law enforcement officials said that there had been no direct threat to the airport, which handles an average of 1,000 flights a day and 45 million passengers a year, and that Mr. Defreitas, a United States citizen who was born in Guyana, and his co-conspirators had yet to obtain financing or explosives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:IRxKGSE27LkJ:www.freepatentsonline.com/4009475.html+%22R+Defreitas%22&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=4&amp;gl=us&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&quot;&gt;www.freepatentsonline.com/4009475.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; Delta-sigma converter and decoder&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;DeFreitas, Richard E. &lt;/span&gt;(Westford, MA, US)&lt;br /&gt;filing Date:    &lt;div class=&quot;disp_elm_value&quot;&gt;    12/05/1974   &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;!-- Publication Date  --&gt;    &lt;div class=&quot;disp_doc&quot;&gt;    &lt;div class=&quot;disp_elm_name&quot;&gt;Publication Date:&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div class=&quot;disp_elm_value&quot;&gt;    02/22/1977   &lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------&lt;br /&gt;with a former member of the Guyanese Parliament&lt;br /&gt;http://www.guyanaguide.com/government.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;intelius access ?&lt;br /&gt;https://www.intelius.com/search-summary-out.php?trackit=65&amp;ReportType=1&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;qf=R&amp;qmi=M&amp;amp;qn=Defreitas&amp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.intelius.com/searching.php?trackit=97&amp;amp;ReportType=8&amp;records=1&amp;amp;recordid=1&quot;&gt; https://www.intelius.com/searching.php?trackit=97&amp;ReportType=8&amp;amp;records=1&amp;amp;recordid=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[PDF]Arterial pressure contour analysis for estimating human vascular ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/2n5yel&quot;&gt; http://tinyurl.com/2n5yel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://911review.org/Reports/report-Abu-Ghraib.html&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Ghraib Prison report Effects of Mortar Round at Camp Ganci:&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/7130230103652966284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=7130230103652966284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/7130230103652966284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/7130230103652966284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2007/06/new-terror-plot-defreitas-guyana.html' title='new terror plot - deFreitas  - Guyana'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-5269864579405968876</id><published>2007-05-30T16:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T16:15:31.227-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="&quot;Azov sea&quot;"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="alien"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Azov"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="extinct"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sea"/><title type='text'>Wonder-fish from Azov sea</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.rin.ru/eng/news///9871/5//&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://news.rin.ru/eng/news///9871/5//&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/911review/wonderfish.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.rin.ru/eng/pictures/7/9871.jpg&quot;&gt;pic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Wonder-fish from Azov sea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder-fish from Azov sea Two weeks ago there was a storm in the Azov sea.

Kucinich is the only Democrat running for President who has consistently voted against funding the war. Today he said that Congress&#39; failure to end the occupation of Iraq is the result of a lack of will to do so on the part of his colleagues and his party&#39;s leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Just as the Democrats could have prevented the invasion of Iraq in 2003, when Senators Edwards, Clinton, Biden, and Dodd supported it,&quot; Kucinich said, &quot;and just as the Democrats could have ended the occupation of Iraq at any point by ending the funding, while Senators Clinton, Obama, Biden, and Dodd have voted over and over again to fund it, so too the Democratic leadership could have ended the occupation this week by not bringing any funding bills up for votes.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The Democratic Party has to choose,&quot; Kucinich said, &quot;between standing for peace or continuing to support war and occupation, between heeding the demand of the voters last November or caving in to the demands of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. We can&#39;t have it both ways. We can&#39;t facilitate the passage of another bill to fund the war and at the same time claim that we want the war to end. The public sees through such hypocritical maneuvering.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It&#39;s instructive,&quot; Kucinich added, &quot;that the leadership removed from the Supplemental a requirement that the president gain Congress&#39;s consent before launching an additional aggressive war against Iran. Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and former Senator Edwards have all said that with regard to Iran all options are on the table, a thinly veiled euphemism for a unilateral preemptive military attack.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;If Senators Clinton, Obama, Biden, and Dodd want to end the occupation of Iraq,&quot; Kucinich noted, &quot;they can vote against any more funding, and they can filibuster bills that provide it. I urge every Senator to take that step.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kucinich was one of seven Democrats in the House to vote No this morning on the Rule to bring the latest war funding bill to a vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday, Kucinich spoke for a full hour on the House floor, pointing out that this is the third Supplemental offered by the Democrats that has demanded that Iraq pass a hydrocarbon law that would set the stage for the wholesale privatization of Iraq&#39;s oil industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kucinich argued against invading Iraq prior to the 2003 vote that authorized it. He published his case against it and helped persuade many of his colleagues to vote No. Kucinich challenged the legality of the war in court in an effort to prevent it. He proposed a detailed plan to end the occupation of Iraq over three years ago. His current plan is found in his bill HR 1234. Kucinich is the only Democratic Presidential candidate who has voted against every new funding bill for the occupation, including the recent Supplemental. At the time of the last vote on the Supplemental, Kucinich was the only Member of Congress to both vote No and to urge his colleagues to vote No. He supports using the power of the purse to end the war. He opposes any attack on Iran and proposes formally forswearing the use of so-called preventive war. He has proposed the creation of a Department of Peace to address international and domestic violence.&lt;br /&gt;Kucinich for President&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONTACT: David Swanson of Kucinich for President, +1-202-329-7847&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web site: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kucinich.us//&quot;&gt;http://www.kucinich.us//&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/feeds/8710347950195866376/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33819517&amp;postID=8710347950195866376' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8710347950195866376'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33819517/posts/default/8710347950195866376'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://9-11review.blogspot.com/2007/05/kucinich-urges-colleagues-to-find-will.html' title='Kucinich Urges Colleagues to Find Will to End Occupation'/><author><name>batcave911</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16310881498540169402</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://img201.exs.cx/img201/5625/brad29pl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33819517.post-736801818035158245</id><published>2007-05-30T14:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-30T14:39:52.247-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="air"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FAA"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="government"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pilot"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="plane"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="politics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="security"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="terror"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="terrorism"/><title type='text'>Blinded By The Light</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thisisrumorcontrol.org/node/2108&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Blinded By The Light&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.thisisrumorcontrol.org/node/2108&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Main Categories | Terrorism | The News Today | US Domestic Issues&lt;br /&gt;Email this to a friend&lt;br /&gt;Posted by Guest on April 25, 2005 - 1:17pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;This is Rumor Control&quot; received a great write-up by one of our loyal readers, and it struck us as so interesting that we decided to post it. It&#39;s quite a good piece of investigative reporting, complete with links to sites that support its contentions. Great work, and thanks out there for the submission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In late December of last year, I came across an article I thought interesting: &quot;Lasers illuminate airline cockpits on approach.&quot; The report was that six commercial airliners within four days had laser beams shone in their cockpits, temporarily blinding the pilots. The article worried me. One month earlier an &quot;intelligence bulletin&quot; had been sent &quot;to police agencies to alert them that terrorist groups have shown an interest in using laser beams to try to bring down airliners.&quot; The first incident took place on September 22, when a laser light was shined into a pilots eyes as he circled his commercial aircraft over Salt Lake City. This is no laughing matter: terrorists could use lasers to blind pilots flying passenger jets at 5,000 feet and below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 31, I saw another report: &quot;Man quizzed about laser incidents&quot; and three days later, on January 3 -- after a number of internet rumors -- an official denied rumors that the U.S. government was testing lasers to see if they could blind pilots in commercial aircraft. Even so, on January 4, the U.S. government freed a man they said was suspected of shining lasers into passenger jet aircraft. According to the story, David Banach of Parsippany, NJ, bought a green laser for his seven-year-old daughter from BigHa.com whose website states that they not only sell to civilians but &quot;also sell to law enforcement, military personnel.&quot; Charges were brought against Banach for shining the laser into the cockpit of a commercial airliner on December 29, and again into a police helicopter on December 31. BigHa.com maintains that the lasers are used mainly to point at stars and constellations, as Banach and his daughter claimed to be doing. Banach was released on $100,000 bail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was at this point that I became curious -- how could someone buy a laser and point it in the cockpit of an airplane? Could a laser really blind a pilot? Did David Banach really shine a laser into the cockpit of an airplane from his backyard? A laser expert told me that this was impossible: in order for a laser beam to shine through cockpit glass the person shining the laser would have to be on the same level as the plane. Another expert told me this was wrong, and that terrorists were perfectly capable of bringing down passenger jets at 5000 feet and below. I had a different theory: all of these incidents (in Cleveland, New Jersey, and Salt Lake City), were the result of a government test. The government denied it, but weakly: An anonymous government official proposed two possibilities for the laser incidents. He said that it was a bunch of kids &quot;who got a laser light at Christmas&quot; (oh, yeah, that sounds right), or that it was a group of terrorists in a &quot;deliberate attempt to target aircraft&quot; (holy cow, what&#39;re-we-gonna-do?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nine days after David Banach&#39;s release, there was another laser incident. This time the pilot &quot;was able to determine that the laser was coming from a building on airport grounds.&quot; Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta announced that, as of January 19 &quot;all pilots would be required to immediately report any laser sightings to air traffic controllers.&quot; This was the last incident reported for a period of one month. Between September of 2004 and mid-January of 2005 rumors circulated that lasers had burned a pilot&#39;s retina, that an aircraft had nearly crashed after a laser was shined into its cockpit, and a civilian had been arrested for spotting constellations with his daughter in a New Jersey backyard. What was going on? Were a bunch of crazed laser-toting al-Qaeda terrorists loose in America&#39;s backyards? Or was the government running a secret program and just not telling us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On February 11 of this year an article detailed the development of a new system designed to interdict unauthorized passenger or commercial planes that had penetrated the airspace over the nation&#39;s capitol. The system? You guessed it: laser beams. &quot;It&#39;s an attention-getter, but it&#39;s not blinding,&quot; a NORAD official said.&quot;It&#39;s not a distraction. So pilots can still focus on flying the aircraft without endangering anyone or themselves.&quot; And finally, on April 22 -- just days ago -- CNN &quot;Technology&quot; section ran a story headlined: &quot;Lasers to warn pilots in restricted D.C. airspace.&quot; So here it is: the U.S. government was testing laser beams all along, despite their denials. The testing caused a minor panic that convinced pundits and air travelers that turbin clad idiots were trying to bring down our aircraft. An intelligence bulletin was even released to local police departments about the threat. Need more proof?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article announcing Mineta&#39;s request to pilots that they begin reporting incidents of lasers being shone into their cockpits was posted on January 12, the same day that technical testing of the laser warning system was completed. That is to say: the U.S. government allowed the public to believe that terrorists were testing laser beams to bring down aircraft when, in fact, the government was testing lasers to bring down aircraft. Did Mineta know and lie? Did anyone at the FBI consult with NORAD to determine whether there was any testing? Did anyone think it might be a bad idea to panic the public? What about airline pilots? Should they have been informed? And was there any danger in the testing? Why didn&#39;t the media put two and two together? If I could do it, why couldn&#39;t they do it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going back to the articles posted months ago on CNN, I now notice things I did not see before. For instance, David Banach was reported as being 15 miles away from the aircraft when shining his laser beam. CNN reports of the beams now used to defend our capitol city, &quot;The laser beams can be seen 15 to 20 miles away, authorities said, except in cloudy conditions.&quot; In the December 31 article, CNN reported, &quot;A report for the FAA in June 2004 examined the effect of laser beams on pilots. Of 34 pilots who were exposed to lasers during simulated flights, 67 percent experienced adverse visual effects at even the lowest level of laser exposure. Two high exposure levels resulted in significantly greater performance difficulties and nine aborted landings.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let&#39;s see if I have this right: the U.S. government has been using us as guinea pigs to test to see whether their stupid laser can blind pilots? What were they thinking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for David Banach (now described in news reports as a &quot;fiber-optic cable tester&quot;) and his daughter, well, CNN and other news networks remain mum.
