U.S. CONCENTRATION CAMPS  FEMA AND THE REX 84 PROGRAM

"The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention
centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed
down and to be turned into prisons"

Web site of Concentration Camps made for you! One of the U.S. Plans for NWO "New world Order"
U.S. CONCENTRATION CAMPS
FEMA AND THE REX 84 PROGRAM


There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.

Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.

The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people.



A person named Terry Kings wrote an article on his discoveries of camps
located in southern California. His findings are as follows:
Over the last couple months several of us have investigated three soon-to-be prison camps in the Southern California area. We had heard about these sites and wanted to see them for ourselves.

The first one we observed was in Palmdale, California. It is not operating as a prison at the moment but is masquerading as part of a water facility. Now why would there be a facility of this nature out in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no prisoners? The fences that run for miles around this large facility all point inward, and there are large mounds of dirt and dry moat surrounding the central area so the inside area is not visible from the road. There are 3 large loading docks facing the entrance that can be observed from the road. What are these massive docks going to be loading?

We observed white vans patrolling the area and one came out and greeted us with a friendly wave and followed us until we had driven safely beyond the area. What would have happened had we decided to enter the open gate or ask questions?

This facility is across the street from the Palmdale Water Department. The area around the Water Department has fences pointing outward, to keep people out of this dangerous area so as not to drown. Yet, across the street, the fences all point inward. Why? To keep people in? What people? Who are going to be it’s occupants?

There are also signs posted every 50 feet stating: State of California Trespassing Loitering Forbidden By Law Section 555 California Penal Code.

The sign at the entrance says: Pearblossom Operations and Maintenance Subcenter Receiving Department, 34534 116th Street East. There is also a guard shack located at the entrance.

We didn’t venture into this facility, but did circle around it to see if there was anything else visible from the road. We saw miles of fences with the top points all directed inward. There is a railroad track that runs next to the perimeter of this fenced area. The loading docks are large enough to hold railroad cars.

I wonder what they are planning for this facility? They could easily fit 100,000 people in this area. And who would the occupants be?

Another site is located in Brand Park in Glendale. There are newly constructed fences (all outfitted with new wiring that point inward). The fences surround a dry reservoir. There are also new buildings situated in the area. We questioned the idea that there were four armed military personnel walking the park. Since when does a public park need armed guards?

A third site visited was in the San Fernando Valley, adjacent to the Water District. Again, the area around the actual Water District had fences logically pointing out (to keep people out of the dangerous area). And the rest of the adjacent area which went on for several miles was ringed with fences and barbed wire facing inward (to keep what or who in?) Also, interesting was the fact that the addition to the tops of the fences were fairly new as to not even contain any sign of rust on them. Within the grounds was a huge building that the guard said was a training range for policemen. There were newly constructed roads, new gray military looking buildings, and a landing strip. For what? Police cars were constantly patrolling the several mile perimeter of the area.

From the parking lot of the Odyssey Restaurant a better view could be taken of the area that was hidden from site from the highway. There was an area that contained about 100 black boxes that looked like railroad cars. We had heard that loads of railroad cars have been manufactured in Oregon outfitted with shackles. Would these be of that nature? From our position it was hard to determine.

In searching the Internet, I have discovered that there are about 600 of these prison sites around the country (and more literally popping up overnight do they work all night). They are manned, but yet do not contain prisoners. Why do they need all these non-operating prisons? What are they waiting for? We continuously hear that our current prisons are overcrowded and they are releasing prisoners because of this situation. But what about all these facilities? What are they really for? Why are there armed guards yet no one to protect themselves against? And what is going to be the kick-off point to put these facilities into operation?

What would bring about a situation that would call into effect the need for these new prison facilities? A man-made or natural catastrophe? An earthquake, panic due to Y2K, a massive poisoning, a panic of such dimensions to cause nationwide panic?

Once a major disaster occurs (whether it is a real event or manufactured event does not matter) Martial Law is hurriedly put in place and we are all in the hands of the government agencies (FEMA) who thus portray themselves as our protectors. Yet what happens when we question those in authority and how they are taking away all of our freedoms? Will we be the ones detained in these camp sites? And who are they going to round up? Those with guns? Those who ask questions? Those that want to know what’s really going on? Does that include any of us? The seekers of truth?

When first coming across this information I was in a state of total denial. How could this be? I believed our country was free, and always felt a sense of comfort in knowing that as long as we didn’t hurt others in observing our freedom we were left to ourselves. Ideally we treated everyone with respect and honored their uniqueness and hoped that others did likewise.

It took an intensive year of searching into the hidden politics to discover that we are as free as we believe we are. If we are in denial, we don’t see the signs that are staring at us, but keep our minds turned off and busy with all the mundane affairs of daily life.

We just don’t care enough to find out the real truth, and settle for the hand-fed stories that come our way over the major media sources television, radio, newspaper, and magazines. But it’s too late to turn back to the days of blindfolds and hiding our heads in the sand because the reality is becoming very clear. The time is fast approaching when we will be the ones asking "What happened to our freedom? To our free speech? To our right to protect ourselves and our family? To think as an individual? To express ourselves in whatever way we wish?"

Once we challenge that freedom we find out how free we really are. How many are willing to take up that challenge? Very few indeed, otherwise we wouldn’t find ourselves in the situation that we are in at the present time. We wouldn’t have let things progress and get out of the hands of the public and into the hands of those that seek to keep us under their control no matter what it takes, and that includes the use of force and detainment for those that ask the wrong questions.

Will asking questions be outlawed next? Several instances have recently been reported where those that were asking questions that came too near the untold truth (the cover up) were removed from the press conferences and from the public’s ear. Also, those that wanted to speak to the press were detained and either imprisoned, locked in a psychiatric hospital, slaughtered (through make-believe suicides) or discredited.

Why are we all in denial over these possibilities? Didn’t we hear about prison camps in Germany, and even in the United States during World War II? Japanese individuals were rounded up and placed in determent camps during the duration of the War. Where was their freedom?

You don’t think it could happen to you? Obviously those rounded up and killed didn’t think it could happen to them either. How could decent people have witnessed such atrocities and still said nothing? Are we going to do the same here as they cart off one by one those individuals who are taking a stand for the rights of the citizens as they expose the truth happening behind the scenes? Are we all going to sit there and wonder what happened to this country of ours? Where did we go wrong? How could we let it happen?

The Coming American Holocaust?  9-22-98

Note - The following is an interview with 'Mr. Sea' regarding alleged New World Order plans for the U.S. and its citizens. This is being posted as a point of information. We have seen video of the Indiana facility mentioned and it does appear to accurately fit the description in this interview.

[NOTE: odds are you won't believe this source, so I have included an alternative source including admissions from the Director of Resource Management for the U.S. Army and from Congressman Henry Gonzales (D,Texas). Read it and get very angry. - W.A.C.]

In the spring of 1997, Senior Editor, Professor Ian Stewart, met with "Mr. Sea" (real name known but withheld) to discuss what he has learned first-hand about the coming persecution at the hands of the New World Order operatives.

With a seven-inch thick portfolio filled with photographs, news articles, correspondence, etc., Mr. Sea revealed disturbing information about New World Order efforts to destroy and enslave America.

The following are some of Mr. Sea's comments. But first, let's take a look at the man who made the comments.

Mr. Sea, a committed Christian, is a former inspector for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of Defense, with 31 years of federal service: 22 in the military, nine with the Department of Defense, including two years with the Air Staff. He's a holder of the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, three awards of the Joint Service Medal, all of the Vietnamese awards, as well as the Joint Meritorious Unit Medal.

When he retired a few years ago, he was awarded the Secretary of Defense Civilian Service Medal. He's been around the world to 31 countries on four continents, and speaks five languages.

Mr. Sea spoke of the coming American Holocaust of the Government's plans for dealing with the non-New World Orderites. He spoke of the infrastructure that has already been set up to incarcerate and execute Americans, and the locations of the facilities that will be used for these purposes all with photographs, leaving little to the imagination.

"The infrastructure is set up. There are at least 130 concentration camps quietly modified facilities which have sprung up and continue to spring up across the country, seemingly devoid of activity, yet requiring strange accoutrements such as barbed wire-topped fencing (with the tops turned inward) and helicopter wind socks. Most have good logistical supportability, with major highways and railroad transport facilities adjacent to the sites.

"These facilities, many in remote areas across our country, are set up to become concentration/detention camps, complete with gas chambers, for resisters and dissidents. Generally speaking, they're set up for dissenters who will not go along with the New World Order. The 'resisters' are gun owners who refuse to give up their weapons; the 'dissidents' are Christians, Patriots and Constitutionalists. These camps are set up. I've seen many of them.

"On August 6, 1994, I toured the Amtrak Railcar Repair Facility at Beech Grove, Indianapolis, Indiana. There are at least ten maintenance barns at this facility, covering 129 acres, with two separate fences with the tops leaning inward. The windows of several buildings have been bricked up. Hence, you have three levels of security for Amtrak repair barns!

"There are three helicopter 25-knot aviation wind socks (which aren't the correct ones to use for chemical spills which require 10-knot wind socks). There are high security NSA-style people turnstiles, and high intensity/security lighting for 24-hour operation. The box car (gas chamber) building fence is marked with special 'RED/BLUE Zone' signs [visible in the photo ]. This corresponds to the 'mission' of the RED/BLUE Lists which surfaced in June and July of 1996.

[NOTE: that is approx. when I became convinced that rumours of similar compounds here in Canada had a basis in fact.- W.A.C.]

"Under martial law, this will become a death camp. They're only going to handle category one and two (RED and BLUE) people there. This box car facility will be used for execution.

"One of the barns is large enough to put four box cars into. There are powered vents on the top of the barn to vent the gas out of the building after the box cars have been fumigated. All of the buildings have newly installed six-inch gas pipes and furnaces installed in all 'railroad barns.'

"Since the photo [snipped] was taken in August 1994, FEMA has allocated $6 million to make the walls and roofs of the buildings 'airtight' (see article below). Under martial law, this facility could be immediately used as an SS-style 'termination' gas chamber.

"On January 27, 1995, The Indianapolis News ran an article titled, 'Amtrak Lays off 212 at Beech Grove: 170 Lose Jobs at Maintenance Center Today.' Why perform $6 million worth of renovations, and then lay off 212 people? Because the people doing the final executions will not be Americans. Thus, the 'slots' of the 212 will be filled with non-Americans.

"They'll hire foreigners for this 'cappo' task. Cappo ('chief' in Italian) was the title of the trustee prisoners who actually killed many Jews for the SS butchers at Dachau, and at other Nazi crematoria across Europe.

"The news article also said, '...hopes the yard may be able to solicit work repairing private train cars, and perhaps subway cars from Washington, DC, or other urban areas.' The repairing of private trains is a dead giveaway to death cars!

"The article went on to say, 'Late last year, Congress ordered Amtrak to spend at least $5.9 million patching holes in the roof and fixing masonry on the walls of the giant machine sheds at Beech Grove.' These buildings have been 'sealed.' They're airtight. The facility is constructed to allow gas to be blown into all the buildings via the newly installed, two-story, hot air heating furnaces."

Next, Mr. Sea elaborated on the two categories the 'RED and BLUE Lists' and what they mean: "The RED List is for pick-up and execution before unobtrusive preparations for martial law are initiated. The BLUE List is also for execution, but at a later date 'within six weeks of martial law declaration. There are no 're-education' plans for either category' just execution.

"When you get picked up on a RED pick-up, they'll take you from your home at night...probably around 4 a.m. and put you in a black van, then drive you to a helicopter waiting to fly you to an intermediate point. There, you'll be loaded onto a big 64-passenger CH-47 Chinook helicopter...all black, unmarked and illegally operating under the Treaty on Open Skies.

"Then they'll fly you to one of 38 cities where you'll board a 747, 737, or 727. "You may be taken straight to a temporary detention facility. When you're RED listed, you'll be taken to a red camp. Then you'll be executed.

"At some point, martial law will be declared. (Martial law is when the writ of Habeas Corpus to have a trial by jury is suspended. Instead, of going to the judge, you go straight to jail for a limited time,) I suspect there will be a major outage, or some other crisis which will be the reason to declare martial law. At this point, the BLUE listed people will be picked up. At that time, the country will be regionalized into ten regions, which are already designated by FEMA.

"Be advised that it has been proven (in Wyoming and at least one other location) that the black choppers have state-of-the-art radio (RF) frequency wideband jammers, and can jam cell phones and CBs while they're executing black operations missions (i.e., in your area). This means that your cell phone could be jammed just before and/or during any action against you.

"In June of 1996, an FBI agent got hold of the Region Three BLUE List (from a CIA agent), and found his own name on it, and those of several others he knew in Virginia. The Regional BLUE List stated that the names on the BLUE List would be picked up 'within six weeks of the actual martial law declaration.'

"This parallels the Nazi RED/BLUE List policy almost to the letter. The parallel Nazi plan was published by Heinz Hohne in his 1966 book, The Story of the Nazi SS: The Order of the Death's Head. (I've read this book and sent it to Jack McLamb.)

"People say, 'It won't work.' But it will work if the 300,000 Soviet troops which are ALREADY HERE can get the guns. The name of the game is to blackball the people to get the guns . . . make the militia look bad, make guns look bad, make everybody give up their guns. Once they get your gun, they've got you, UNLESS you've got the angel of the Lord at your door. If you've got the angel of the Lord out there protecting you, it's another story. "The ones doing all of this are operating out of the highest places in the Federal Government. They're cooperating with 'spirit guides and mediums' and using astrology and numerology. The spirit guides are telling them what to do, and the entire thing is being orchestrated at the highest spiritual levels. Every base has been covered. They've thought of everything.

"If you notice, they often do things on the 13th of the month. Mr. Clinton does a lot of things on the 13th. On September 13, 1993, the brokered Israeli-PLO peace accord was signed. He waited 14 days, until September 13, 1994 to sign the Crime Bill. On June 13, 1995, he stated he'd veto the national debt authorization ceiling. On November 13, he did veto it. On January 13, 1996, he made a speech to Bosnia.

"Amos 3:7 says that God doesn't do anything without first revealing His secrets to His servants the prophets. God is giving His people warnings. There are people who go to prophecy conferences to see when the rapture is going to take place and listen to all the peaceful prophets prophesying good news and glad tidings. But if we'll listen to God, He is warning us of the times that are coming. We need to prepare.

"There will be an interim of probably just days from the time they launch the RED List, to the declaration of martial law when they'll start coming after those on the BLUE List. It'll work the same way it did with the Nazis who had a list of people to pick up, on June 30, 1934, before they declared their 'mobilization.'

"It's the same blueprint being used because it's the same spirit leading the Fourth Reich as led the Third Reich. In Germany, they used trains, here it will be helicopters and 747s.

"When Hitler was villainizing the Jews, he hired thugs and dressed them in black uniforms (our whole country is not going to black uniforms). He was building concentration camps and setting up a transport system. In this country, they're now in the process of villainizing Christians, Patriots, Constitutionalists, and outspoken talk-show hosts, etc.

"Who will be doing the actual picking up? Foreign 'cops' (United Nations Internal Security Forces). Over 30 foreign military bases under the United Nations flag are already set up in the US., all with the approval of special appointees in high Federal positions. These bases are already manned with over ONE MILLION troops from Russia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Turkey, Great Britain, Nicaragua, and Asian countries.

"Why are they here? Because unlike our own troops many of which along with the Guard and Reserve of 24 states are being deployed overseas will have no qualms about firing on U.S. citizens when the time comes.

"There are more than 2,000 Russian tanks, military trucks and chemical warfare vehicles just outside Gulfport, Mississippi. They began arriving in January of 1994.

"There are 180 foreign troops at Fort Reilly which was confirmed to me by a Brigadier General. There are 300 who came into the Birmingham, Alabama airport on a big white Russian cargo plane on December 13, 1995.

"As of 1995, there were 10,000 plus foreign troops at Fort Chafee, Arkansas reportedly making preparations for 20,000 'detainees.'

"Also in 1995 at Fort Polk, Louisiana (U.S. Army Post), Russian and Eastern European troops were deployed under the U.N. flag. [When questioned about this, the legislative aide of the congressman who resides over Fort Polk, stated, "Yes, they were there undertaking broad, joint training exercises. And, yes, the U.N. flag was flying. There may still be some there today."]

"At the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, there are many Russian tanks. One of the NCOs told his father that he'd been maintaining them.

"This is going on all over the country. German troops are known to be at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and Fort Hood, Texas. Chinese troops are known to be at the Long Beach Naval Station in California.

"There's not going to be some future event when the invading troops are going to show up. They're already here. When martial law is implemented, these foreign U.N. troops will be policing our country, carrying out the plans of the New World Order.

"God is warning His people. There isn't much time before these events begin to take place. God's people need to prepare themselves in every way possible. It's not a time for fear. It's a time for prayer, preparation and sharing our faith with a lost world.

"We must always remember Ephesians 6:12 which states: 'For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.'"

This is a view of the South Eastern U.S. on a map. The map is named, Region 4, 15 August 1994, "Phase III Operation". The legend shows a black star symbol, where Russian troops/Armor are. U.N. symbol, for United Nations (foreign battle groups). The map also has markings for "Ports of Entrys" into the U.S., by sea.

This is a photo copy view, of the Wilcox Correctional Institution. It also has exact details on location, and other information about the camp.

Here is a photo blowup, of the directions of where Wilcox is, as well as other important information of the institution.

There are over 100 primary and secondary concentration camps across the US. Each houses about 20,000 prisoners. Currently the largest of these facilities is the just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a gigantic mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people. The majority of these facilities have no prisoners but are currently staffed by military personal. The camps all have have railroad facilities, as well as roads, coming and going out of them, to get there. Also quite a few are closed down military bases and are adjacent to airport facilities.

Webmaster:
The Range 3 area of the Camp Grayling Michigan National Guard military
reservation has long been rumored to be a civilian 'detention' camp
compound, though the documenting photos of this area are quite outdated that gives evidence of its existence. I thought that a fresh look is long overdue.
Since I live somewhat nearby I have undertaken to get some new photos & some fresh insights of this area.
I have recently posted my findings with fresh photos & info on a Geocities

FORT DIX, N.J.:

This facility is familiar to veteran patriots.   The camp at Ft. Dix is larger than before and can hold many thousands more than when these photos were taken!!

    

 

   

Ft. LEONARD WOOD, MISSOURI:

This facility is part of the "Stem Village" Urban Warfare Training Center.  This facility has a very small capacity at present, but is certainly capable of major future expansion.  Most alarming is that this "urban warfare" center is modeled after a generic small town in the USA!

 

NASHVILLE, TENN.:

This facility is on state property.  Note the high fences with the inward-curving tops and barb wire.  This facility can only serve one purpose: to hold people!

White House Briefing Room

February 24, 2000

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

I have just signed a Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) that will improve America’s ability to strengthen police and judicial institutions in countries where peacekeeping forces are deployed. The PDD directs the Departments of State, Defense and Justice to undertake a series of critical enhancements in the areas of police-military coordination, as well as in police, penal and judicial training and development.

In peacekeeping missions from the Balkans to East Timor, establishing basic law and order has been among the most important - and formidable - challenges. Developing effective local police forces, establishing credible court and penal systems, and reforming legal codes can make the crucial difference between building a just future and lapsing back into conflict.

When fully implemented, this PDD will help overcome major obstacles that currently confront international peacekeeping operations. By enhancing cooperation between police and military peacekeepers, we will better ensure public security during these operations. By more effectively training and fielding international police monitors, we will better ensure that local police fairly and effectively prevent the breakdown of law and order in post-conflict societies. And by improving our ability to provide assistance to local judicial and penal institutions, we will better ensure accountability, as well as confidence among local populations often traumatized by the conflicts they have endured.

We must do everything possible to improve our ability to help countries in transition to get the job done - and to encourage other governments and the United Nations to be deeply engaged in these efforts.

A Tour of the Facility

Federal Detention Centers
by Sterling D. Allan, Manti, Utah
December 17, 1999

I was with a friend last night who related to me and several others a great deal of information about the state of the pending police state in this country. I plan to relay in a future post additional revelations he made. He is a very careful researcher, seeking original source information. The following is conveyed from his first-hand experience.

He showed us several photographs which he took of a "Federal Detention Center" in Seattle. He said he would allow me to publish the photos on my web site when he can get some time to make copies of them and send them to me next month. They will be published to the same URL mentioned above.

The building looks like a cross between a prison and a hospital. It is huge -- about the height of the Federal Murrah Building but twice the depth -- square rather than rectangular with a gray concrete facade punctuated with small, vertical slit windows. The lower two or three stories are decorated with red brick. The marquee out in front of the building reads "Federal Detention Center" with a UN insignia above it and address number 2425 below it, which piqued my interest, inasmuch as word number 2424 in the New Testament lexicon is the word "Iesous" (Jesus). Words of opposite meaning are very often found next to each other in alphabetic sequence.

When he was in Seattle recently, my friend drove with a friend of his to this "Federal Detention Center." They parked in a spot marked for "visitors," went into the reception area and asked when tours were held. After being told of some time slots, they then proceeded outside and started taking pictures of the facility.

As they were doing so, a burly security guard-looking guy came up to them and said that he was taking them into custody for (I can't remember what he said the charge was, but it was something like trespassing on Federal property).

My friend replied that they were waiting for a tour to begin and noted that they were on a public sidewalk.

This did not seem to impress the officer. He said that there are no tours, and that he was superior in rank to the person at the desk where they had received that information.

After taking them inside for a lengthy interrogation, which made my friend's companion tremble for fear, they were finally released.

When my friend told a physician acquaintance of his about the incident, the physician, who is extremely rich and well known in the community, replied, "I will get you a tour."

And that he did. He and the chief of police, and a representative of the media, and my friend were given a tour of the entire facility, minus the medical area -- which was an interesting omission inasmuch as the personnel at the facility had promised an exhaustive tour.

My friend said that every one of the detention center personnel he saw was black and very large in stature.

The Law library, which every prison is required to have, was present, but the shelves were bare of any books. Outside the Medical area was a long line of waiting inmates. They were also shown the internment labor facility and were told that the inmates were kept busy there for eight hours a day.

Though they had some inmates, the center was largely vacant considering its occupancy capacity of several thousand.

Outside the facility were parked five or six unmarked busses and several white semi trailers. Upon looking closer, my friend could see that behind the dark tinted windows of the bus were bars. He showed us photos of two of the buses. They were like brand new Greyhound Busses, minus any writing on the thick white line background running the length of the bus with a thin red line above it.

When they asked what a "Federal Detention Center" was for and how it differed from a State or Federal Prison, they were told that these centers were built under the direction of President Clinton for those who committed federal crimes which fit into three basic categories:

(1) Gun Violations
(2) Crimes crossing state borders
(3) Crimes committed on Indian Reservations

Apparently there are eight such structures in the U.S. My friend showed us a photo of another Detention Center under construction in Oklahoma.

Each one of these are located at the ends of runways of the major airports of the cities in which they are located, where inmates could be loaded and unloaded aboard large transport aircraft. My friend called them "Transfer Centers," guessing that they were designed for the future movement of dissident citizens from one concentration camp to another after Martial law has been imposed and confiscation of guns enforced.

Any questions about the details of this information may be confirmed in person by going to Seattle, or may be conveyed through me to my friend.

Georgia: Bill to replace electric chair with guillotine

Georgia lawmaker Doug Teper (Democrat) has proposed a bill to replace the state's electric chair with the guillotine. Teper's reasoning? It would allow for death-row inmates as organ donors, he says, since the "Blade makes a clean cut and leaves vital organs intact."

 In 1995, a move to replace the electric chair with lethal injection (poisoning) failed in Georgia's assembly because legislators feared that prisoners could argue for a new sentencing hearing if the state changed the law.

 The Guillotine, invented by the French Dr. Guillotine, was mainly used in the 18th and 19th century and chops off a person's head. It hasn't been used for decades in any country on this planet.

 [March 5, 1996; based upon news report]

Watcher comments: There is a group of lawmakers out there who think chopping people's heads off is a good idea. Criminals are a good first step in acclimating the public to the spectacle of death by beheading. The practical application of "organ donation" is a good excuse to implement guillotine production. By the time the antichrist takes control, there should be some very skilled guillotine craftsman out there, and the infrastructure for transporting such apparatus will be fully in place. Isn't that convenient?

Read the Chilling Proposition from Teper et.

HB 1274 - Death penalty; guillotine provisions

SECTION 1.

  1- 8  The General Assembly finds that while prisoners condemned to
  1- 9  death may wish to donate one or more of their organs for
  1-10  transplant, any such desire is thwarted by the fact that
  1-11  electrocution makes all such organs unsuitable for
  1-12  transplant. The intent of the General Assembly in enacting
  1-13  this legislation is to provide for a method of execution
  1-14  which is compatible with the donation of organs by a
  1-15  condemned prisoner.

                         SECTION 2.

  1-16  Article 2 of Chapter 10 of Title 17 of the Official Code of
  1-17  Georgia Annotated, relating to the death penalty generally,
  1-18  is amended by striking in its entirety Code Section
  1-19  17-10-38, relating to death sentences generally, and
  1-20  inserting in lieu thereof the following:

  1-21    "17-10-38. (Index)

  1-22    (a) All persons who have been convicted of a capital
  1-23    offense and have had imposed upon them a sentence of death
  1-24    shall, at the election of the condemned, suffer such
  1-25    punishment either by electrocution or by guillotine.   If
  1-26    the condemned fails to make an election by the thirtieth
  1-27    day preceding the date scheduled for execution, punishment
  1-28    shall be by electrocution.

  1-29    (b) In all cases in which the defendant is sentenced to be
  1-30    electrocuted executed, it shall be the duty of the trial
  1-31    judge in passing sentence to direct that the defendant be
 

                                 -1- (Index)

                                                  LC 21 3643

  2- 1    delivered to the Department of Corrections for
  2- 2    electrocution execution at a state correctional
  2- 3    institution designated by the department."

                         SECTION 3.

  2- 4  Said article is further amended by striking in its entirety
  2- 5  Code Section 17-10-44, relating to death chamber apparatus
  2- 6  and related matters, and inserting in lieu thereof the
  2- 7  following:

  2- 8    "17-10-44. (Index)

  2- 9    The Department of Corrections shall provide a death
  2-10    chamber and all necessary apparatus, machinery, and
  2-11    appliances for inflicting the penalty of death by
  2-12    electrocution or by guillotine."

There is another element to all this. The Airports being built. One particularly in Denver, the Denver International Airport. Here there are murals of NAZI stormtroopers on the walls.

John Ashcroft's Skeleton Closet

Click on the allegation of your choice:

This self-righteous former Missouri governor considers himself a moral crusader, but he has more than his share of petty corruption scandals from his past as Missouri governor:

- Declared "economic emergency" to push through an 18-mile, $140 million freeway right to a major contributor's property

- Used state employees for his re-election campaign

- Received (and didn't report) a favorable deal on a boat from a contributor who got $1 million in Missouri state contracts


- His attorney general went to prison for converting state property to his own.

Editor's note: we never finished the Ashcroft page because he dropped out so quickly. But here are a couple of sources:

- a web site that is obviously anti-Ashcroft but seems to have a lot of original documents and articles on line. Lot's on the freeway issue.

Migratory Bird Refuge - West of Brigham City - contains a WWII internment camp that was built before the game preserve was established.
Cedar City - east of city - no data available.
Wendover - WWII internment camp may be renovated.
Skull Valley - southwestern Camp William property - east of the old bombing range. Camp was accidentally discovered by a man and his son who were rabbit hunting; they were discovered and apprehended. SW of Tooele.

VIRGINIA
Ft. A.P. Hill (Fredericksburg) - Rex 84 / FEMA facility. Estimated capacity 45,000.
Petersburg - Federal satellite prison camp, south of Richmond.

WEST VIRGINIA
Beckley - Alderson - Lewisburg - Former WWII detention camps that are now converted into active federal prison complexes capable of holding several times their current populations. Alderson is presently a women's federal reformatory.
Morgantown - Federal prison camp located in northern WV; just north of Kingwood.
Mill Creek - FEMA detention facility.
Kingwood - Newly built detention camp at Camp Dawson Army Reservation. More data needed on Camp Dawson.

WASHINGTON
Seattle/Tacoma - SeaTac Airport: fully operational federal transfer center
Okanogan County - Borders Canada and is a site for a massive concentration camp capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people for slave labor. This is probably one of the locations that will be used to hold hard core patriots who will be held captive for the rest of their lives.
Sand Point Naval Station - Seattle - FEMA detention center used actively during the 1999 WTO protests to classify prisoners.
Ft. Lewis / McChord AFB - near Tacoma - This is one of several sites that may be used to ship prisoners overseas for slave labor.

WISCONSIN
Ft. McCoy - Rex 84 facility with several complete interment compounds.
Oxford - Central part of state - Federal prison & staellite camp and FEMA detention facility.

WYOMING
Heart Mountain - Park County N. of Cody - WWII Japanese interment camp ready for renovation.
Laramie - FEMA detention facility
Southwest - near Lyman - FEMA detention facility
East Yellowstone - Manned internment facility - Investigating patriots were apprehended by European soldiers speaking in an unknown language. Federal government assumed custody of the persons and arranged their release.

OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
There are many other locations not listed above that are worthy of consideration as a possible detention camp site, but due to space limitations and the time needed to verify, could not be included here. Virtually all military reservations, posts, bases, stations, & depots can be considered highly suspect (because it is "federal" land). Also fitting this category are "Regional Airports" and "International Airports" which also fall under federal jurisdiction and have limited-access areas. Mental hospitals, closed hospitals & nursing homes, closed military bases, wildlife refuges, state prisons, toxic waste dumps, hotels and other areas all have varying degrees of potential for being a detention camp area. The likelihood of a site being suspect increases with transportation access to the site, including airports/airstrips, railheads, navigable waterways & ports, interstate and US highways. Some facilities are "disguised" as industrial or commercial properties, camouflaged or even wholly contained inside large buildings (Indianapolis) or factories. Many inner-city buildings left vacant during the de-industrialization of America have been quietly acquired and held, sometimes retrofitted for their new uses.

CANADA
Our Canadian friends tell us that virtually all Canadian military bases, especially those north of the 50th Parallel, are all set up with concentration camps. Not even half of these can be listed, but here are a few sites with the massive land space to handle any population:
Suffield CFB - just north of Medicine Hat, less than 60 miles from the USA.
Primrose Lake Air Range - 70 miles northeast of Edmonton.
Wainwright CFB - halfway between Medicine Hat and Primrose Lake.
Ft. Nelson - Northernmost point on the BC Railway line.
Ft. McPherson - Very cold territory ~ NW Territories.
Ft. Providence - Located on Great Slave Lake.
Halifax - Nova Scotia. Dept. of National Defense reserve.... And others.

OVERSEAS LOCATIONS
Guayanabo, Puerto Rico - Federal prison camp facility. Capacity unknown.
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - US Marine Corps Base - Presently home to 30,000 Mariel Cubans and 40,000 Albanians. Total capacity unknown.

A Dangerous Fact Not Generally Known
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE ARTICLE 4 SECTION 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. "THE UNITED STATES SHALL GUARANTEE TO EVERY STATE IN THIS UNION A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT, AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION; AND ON APPLICATION OF THE LEGISLATURE, OR OF THE EXECUTIVE (WHEN THE LEGISLATURE CANNOT BE CONVENED) AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE." "REGIONAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT!"


When Government gets out of hand and can no longer be controlled
by the people, short of violent overthrow as in 1776, there are
two sources of power which are used by the dictatorial government
to keep the people in line: the Police Power and the Power of the
Purse (through which the necessities of life can be withheld).
And both of these powers are no longer balanced between the three
Federal Branches, and between the Federal and the State and
local Governments. These powers have been taken over, with the
permission of the Federal Legislature and the State Governments,
by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and all attempts
to reclaim that lost power have been defeated.


Stated simply: the dictatorial power of the Executive rests primarily
on three basis: Executive Order 11490, Executive Order 11647, and
the Planning, Programming, Budgeting System which is operated
through the new and all-powerful Office of Management and
Budget.


E. O. 11490 is a compilation of some 23 previous Executive Orders,
signed by Nixon on Oct. 28, 1969, and outlining emergency functions
which are to be performed by some 28 Executive Departments and
Agencies whenever the President of the United States declares
a national emergency (as in defiance of an impeachment edict,
for example). Under the terms of E. O. 11490, the President
can declare that a national emergency exists and the Executive
Branch can:
* Take over all communications media
* Seize all sources of power
* Take charge of all food resources
* Control all highways and seaports
* Seize all railroads, inland waterways, airports, storage facilities
* Commandeer all civilians to work under federal supervision
* Control all activities relating to health, education, and welfare
* Shift any segment of the population from one locality to another
* Take over farms, ranches, timberized properties
* Regulate the amount of your own money you may withdraw from
your bank, or savings and loan institution


All of these and many more items are listed in 32 pages incorporating
nearly 200,000 words, providing and absolute bureaucratic
dictatorship whenever the President gives the word.


--> Executive Order 11647 provides the regional and local mechanisms
--> and manpower for carrying out the provisions of E. O. 11490.
--> Signed by Richard Nixon on Feb. 10, 1972, this Order sets up Ten
--> Federal Regional Councils to govern Ten Federal Regions made up
--> of the fifty still existing States of the Union.

is provided over every community.


Then, controlling the bedgeting and the programming at every
level is that politico-economic system known as PPBS.


The President need not wait for some emergency such as an impeachment
ouster. He can declare a National Emergency at any time, and freeze
everything, just as he has already frozen wages and prices. And
the Congress, and the States, are powerless to prevent such an
Executive Dictatorship, unless Congress moves to revoke these
extraordinary powers before the Chief Executive moves to invoke
them.


THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE THE INTENT AND
PURPOSE OF ARTICLE 4 SECTION 3. THERE IS NO PROVISION IN THIS
SECTION OR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR FORMING A
REGIONAL STATE OUT OF A GROUP OF STATES! FURTHER, THESE EXECUTIVE
ORDERS GROSSLY AND FLAGRANTLY VIOLATE THE 9TH AND 10TH
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION!


By Proclaiming and Putting Into Effect Executive Order No. 11490,
the President would put the United States under TOTAL MARTIAL LAW
AND MILITARY DICTATORSHIP! The Guns Of The American People Would
Be Forcibly Taken!

A war, even the most victorious, is a national misfortune.
--Helmuth Von Moltke, Prussian field marshall


George Bush put the United States on the road to its second war in
two years by declaring a national emergency on August 2,1990. In
response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Bush issued two Executive
Orders (12722 and 12723) which restricted trade and travel with Iraq
and froze Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets within the U.S. and those in the
possession of U.S. persons abroad. At least 15 other executive orders
followed these initial restrictions and enabled the President to
mobilize the country's human and productive resources for war. Under
the national emergency, Bush was able unilaterally to break his 1991
budget agreement with Congress which had frozen defense spending, to
entrench further the U.S. economy in the mire of the military-
industrial complex, to override environmental protection regulations,
and to make free enterprise and civil liberties conditional upon an
executive determination of national security interests.


The State of Emergency
In time of war a president's power derives from both constitutional
and statutory sources. Under Article II, Section 2 of the
Constitution, he is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Although
Congress alone retains the right to declare war, this power has become
increasingly meaningless in the face of a succession of unilateral
decisions by the executive to mount invasions.
The president's statutory authority, granted by Congress and
expanded by it under the 1988 National Emergencies Act (50 USC sec.
1601), confers special powers in time of war or national emergency.
He can invoke those special powers simply by declaring a national
emergency. First, however, he must specify the legal provisions under
which he proposes that he, or other officers, will act. Congress may
end a national emergency by enacting a joint resolution. Once invoked
by the president, emergency powers are directed by the National
Security Council and administered, where appropriate, under the
general umbrella of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).[1]
There is no requirement that Congress be consulted before an emergency
is declared or findings signed. The only restriction on Bush is that
he must inform Congress in a "timely" fashion--he being the sole
arbiter of timeliness.
Ultimately, the president's perception of the severity of a
particular threat to national security and the integrity of his
appointed officers determine the nature of any state of emergency.
For this reason, those who were aware of the modern development of
presidential emergency powers were apprehensive about the domestic
ramifications of any national emergency declared by George Bush. In
light of Bush's record (see "Bush Chips Away at Constitution" Box
below) and present performance, their fears appear well-founded.


The War at Home
It is too early to know all of the emergency powers, executive
orders and findings issued under classified National Security
Directives[2] implemented by Bush in the name of the Gulf War. In
addition to the emergency powers necessary to the direct mobilization
of active and reserve armed forces of the United States, there are
some 120 additional emergency powers that can be used in a national
emergency or state of war (declared or undeclared by Congress). The
"Federal Register" records some 15 Executive Orders (EO) signed by
Bush from August 2,1990 to February 14,1991. (See "Bush's Executive
Orders" box, below)
It may take many years before most of the executive findings and
use of powers come to light, if indeed they ever do. But evidence is
emerging that at least some of Bush's emergency powers were activated
in secret. Although only five of the 15 EOs that were published were
directed at non-military personnel, the costs directly attributable to
the exercise of the authorities conferred by the declaration of
national emergency from August 2, 1990 to February 1, 1991 for non-
military activities are estimated at approximately $1.3 billion.
According to a February 11, 1991 letter from Bush to congressional
leaders reporting on the "National Emergency With Respect to Iraq,"
these costs represent wage and salary costs for the Departments of
Treasury, State, Agriculture, and Transportation, U.S. Customs,
Federal Reserve Board, and the National Security Council.[3]
The fact that $1.3 billion was spent in non-military salaries alone
in this six month period suggests an unusual amount of government
resources utilized to direct the national emergency state. In
contrast, government salaries for one year of the state of emergency
with Iran[4] cost only $430,000.


____________________________________________________________________

| Bush Chips Away at Constitution |
| |
| George Bush, perhaps more than any other individual in |
| U.S. history, has expanded the emergency powers of |
| presidency. In 1976, as Director of Central Intelligence, |
| he convened Team B, a group of rabidly anti-communist |
| intellectuals and former government officials to reevaluate |
| CIA inhouse intelligence estimates on Soviet military |
| strength. The resulting report recommended draconian civil |
| defense measures which led to President Ford's Executive |
| Order 11921 authorizing plans to establish government |
| control of the means of production, distribution, energy |
| sources, wages and salaries, credit and the flow of money |
| in U.S. financial institutions in a national emergency.[1] |
| As Vice President, Bush headed the Task Force on |
| Combatting Terrorism, that recommended: extended and |
| flexible emergency presidential powers to combat terrorism; |
| restrictions on congressional oversight in counter- |
| terrorist planning; and curbing press coverage of |
| terrorist incidents.[2] The report gave rise to the Anti- |
| Terrorism Act of 1986, that granted the President clear-cut |
| authority to respond to terrorism with all appropriate |
| means including deadly force. It authorized the |
| Immigration and Naturalization Service to control and |
| remove not only alien terrorists but potential terrorist |
| aliens and those "who are likely to be supportive of |
| terrorist activity within the U.S."[3] The bill superceded |
| the War Powers Act by imposing no time limit on the |
| President's use of force in a terrorist situation, and |
| lifted the requirement that the President consult Congress |
| before sanctioning deadly force. |
| From 1982 to 1988, Bush led the Defense Mobilization |
| Planning Systems Agency (DMPSA), a secret government |
| organization, and spent more than $3 billion upgrading |
| command, control, and communications in FEMA's continuity |
| of government infrastructures. Continuity of Government |
| (COG) was ostensibly created to assure government |
| functioning during war, especially nuclear war. The Agency |
| was so secret that even many members of the Pentagon were |
| unaware of its existence and most of its work was done |
| without congressional oversight. |
| Project 908, as the DMPSA was sometimes called, was |
| similar to its parent agency FEMA in that it came under |
| investigation for mismanagement and contract |
| irregularities.[4] During this same period, FEMA had been |
| fraught with scandals including emergency planning with a |
| distinctly anti-constitutional flavor. The agency would |
| have sidestepped Congress and other federal agencies and |
| put the President and FEMA directly in charge of the U.S. |
| planning for martial rule. Under this state, the executive |
| would take upon itself powers far beyond those necessary to |
| address national emergency contingencies.[5] |
| Bush's "anything goes" anti-drug strategy, announced |
| on September 6, 1989, suggested that executive emergency |
| powers be used: to oust those suspected of associating |
| with drug users or sellers from public and private housing; |
| to mobilize the National Guard and U.S. military to fight |
| drugs in the continental U.S.; to confiscate private |
| property belonging to drug users, and to incarcerate first |
| time offenders in work camps.[6] |
| The record of Bush's fast and loose approach to |
| constitutionally guaranteed civil rights is a history of |
| the erosion of liberty and the consolidation of an imperial |
| executive. |

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Even those Executive Orders which have been made public tend to
raise as many questions as they answer about what actions were
considered and actually implemented. On January 8, 1991, Bush signed
Executive Order 12742, National Security Industrial Responsiveness,
which ordered the rapid mobilization of resources such as food,
energy, construction materials and civil transportation to meet
national security requirements. There was, however, no mention in
this or any other EO of the National Defense Executive Reserve (NDER)
plan administered under FEMA. This plan, which had been activated
during World War II and the Korean War, permits the federal government
during a state of emergency to bring into government certain
unidentified individuals. On January 7, 1991 the "Wall Street Journal
Europe" reported that industry and government officials were studying
a plan which would permit the federal government to "borrow" as many
as 50 oil company executives and put them to work streamlining the
flow of energy in case of a prolonged engagement or disruption of
supply. Antitrust waivers were also being pursued and oil companies
were engaged in emergency preparedness exercises with the Department
of Energy.[5]


Wasting the Environment
In one case the use of secret powers was discovered by a watchdog
group and revealed in the press. In August 1990, correspondence
passed between Colin McMillan, Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Production and Logistics and Michael Deland, Chair of the White House
Council on Environmental Quality. The letters responded to
presidential and National Security Council directives to deal with
increased industrial production and logistics arising from the
situation in the Middle East. The communications revealed that the
Pentagon had found it necessary to request emergency waivers to U.S.
environmental restrictions.[6]
The agreement to waive the National Environmental Policy Act (1970)
came in August. Because of it, the Pentagon was allowed to test new
weapons in the western U.S., increase production of materiel and
launch new activities at military bases without the complex public
review normally required. The information on the waiver was
eventually released by the Boston-based National Toxic Campaign Fund
(NTCF), an environmental group which investigates pollution on the
nation's military bases. It was not until January 30, 1991, five
months after it went into effect, that the "New York Times," acting
on the NTCF information, reported that the White House had bypassed
the usual legal requirement for environmental impact statements on
Pentagon projects.[7] So far, no specific executive order or
presidential finding authorizing this waiver has been discovered.
Other environmental waivers could also have been enacted without
the public being informed. Under a state of national emergency, U.S.
warships can be exempted from international conventions on
pollution[8] and public vessels can be allowed to dispose of
potentially infectious medical wastes into the oceans.[9] The
President can also suspend any of the statutory provisions regarding
the production, testing, transportation, deployment, and disposal of
chemical and biological warfare agents (50 USC sec. 1515). He could
also defer destruction of up to 10 percent of lethal chemical agents
and munitions that existed on November 8, 1985.[10]

One Executive Order which was made public dealt with "Chemical and
Biological Weapons Proliferation." Signed by Bush on November 16,
1990, EO 12735 leaves the impression that Bush is ordering an
increased effort to end the proliferation of chemical and biological
weapons. The order states that these weapons "constitute a threat to
national security and foreign policy" and declares a national
emergency to deal with the threat. To confront this threat, Bush
ordered international negotiations, the imposition of controls,
licenses, and sanctions against foreign persons and countries for
proliferation. Conveniently, the order grants the Secretaries of
State and the Treasury the power to exempt the U.S. military.
In February of 1991, the Omnibus Export Amendments Act was passed
by Congress compatible with EO 12735. It imposed sanctions on
countries and companies developing or using chemical or biological
weapons. Bush signed the law, although he had rejected the identical
measure the year before because it did not give him the executive
power to waive all sanctions if he thought the national interest
required it.[11] The new bill, however, met Bush's requirements.

Going Off Budget
Although some of the powers which Bush assumed in order to conduct
the Gulf War were taken openly, they received little public discussion
or reporting by the media.
In October, when the winds of the Gulf War were merely a breeze,
Bush used his executive emergency powers to extend his budget
authority. This action made the 1991 fiscal budget agreement between
Congress and the President one of the first U.S. casualties of the
war. While on one hand the deal froze arms spending through 1996, it
also allowed Bush to put the cost of the Gulf War "off budget." Thus,
using its emergency powers, the Bush administration could:


* incur a deficit which exceeds congressional budget authority;


* prevent Congress from raising a point of order over the
excessive spending;[12]


* waive the requirement that the Secretary of Defense submit
estimates to Congress prior to deployment of a major defense
acquisition system;


* and exempt the Pentagon from congressional restrictions on
hiring private contractors.[13]


While there is no published evidence on which powers Bush actually
invoked, the administration was able to push through the 1990 Omnibus
Reconciliation Act. This legislation put a cap on domestic spending,
created a record $300 billion deficit, and undermined the Gramm-
Rudman-Hollings Act intended to reduce the federal deficit. Although
Congress agreed to pay for the war through supplemental appropriations
and approved a $42.2 billion supplemental bill and a $4.8 billion
companion "dire emergency supplemental appropriation,"[14] it
specified that the supplemental budget should not be used to finance
costs the Pentagon would normally experience.[15]
Lawrence Korb, a Pentagon official in the Reagan administration,
believes that the Pentagon has already violated the spirit of the 1990
Omnibus Reconciliation Act. It switched funding for the Patriot,
Tomahawk, Hellfire and HARM missiles from its regular budget to the
supplemental budget; added normal wear and tear of equipment to
supplemental appropriations; and made supplemental requests which
ignore a planned 25% reduction in the armed forces by 1995.[16]


The Cost In Liberty Lost
Under emergency circumstances, using 50 USC sec. 1811, the
President could direct the Attorney General to authorize electronic
surveillance of aliens and American citizens in order to obtain
foreign intelligence information without a court order.[17] No
Executive Order has been published which activates emergency powers to
wiretap or to engage in counter-terrorist activity. Nonetheless,
there is substantial evidence that such activities have taken place.
According to the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, the
FBI launched an anti-terrorist campaign which included a broad sweep
of Arab-Americans. Starting in August, the FBI questioned, detained,
and harassed Arab-Americans in California, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Colorado.[18]
A CIA agent asked the University of Connecticut for a list of all
foreign students at the institution, along with their country of
origin, major field of study, and the names of their academic
advisers. He was particularly interested in students from the Middle
East and explained that the Agency intended to open a file on each of
the students. Anti-war groups have also reported several break-ins of
their offices and many suspected electronic surveillance of their
telephones.[19]


Pool of Disinformation
Emergency powers to control the means of communications in the U.S.
in the name of national security were never formally declared. There
was no need for Bush to do so since most of the media voluntarily and
even eagerly cooperated in their own censorship. Reporters covering
the Coalition forces in the Gulf region operated under restrictions
imposed by the U.S. military. They were, among other things, barred
from traveling without a military escort, limited in their forays into
the field to small escorted groups called "pools," and required to
submit all reports and film to military censors for clearance. Some
reporters complained that the rules limited their ability to gather
information independently, thereby obstructing informed and objective
reporting.[20]
Three Pentagon press officials in the Gulf region admitted to James
LeMoyne of the "New York Times" that they spent significant time
analyzing reporters' stories in order to shape the coverage in the
Pentagon's favor. In the early days of the deployment, Pentagon press
officers warned reporters who asked hard questions that they were seen
as "anti-military" and that their requests for interviews with senior
commanders and visits to the field were in jeopardy. The military
often staged events solely for the cameras and would stop televised
interviews in progress when it did not like what was being portrayed.
Although filed soon after the beginning of the war, a lawsuit
challenging the constitutionality of press restrictions was not heard
until after the war ended. It was then dismissed when the judge ruled
that since the war had ended, the issues raised had become moot. The
legal status of the restrictions--initially tested during the U.S.
invasions of Grenada and Panama--remains unsettled.


A National Misfortune
It will be years before researchers and journalists are able to
ferret through the maze of government documents and give a full
appraisal of the impact of the President's emergency powers on
domestic affairs. It is likely, however, that with a post-war
presidential approval rating exceeding 75 percent, the domestic
casualties will continue to mount with few objections. Paradoxically,
even though the U.S. public put pressure on Bush to send relief for
the 500,000 Iraqi Kurdish refugees, it is unlikely the same outcry
will be heard for the 37 million Americans without health insurance,
the 32 million living in poverty, or the country's five million hungry
children. The U.S. may even help rebuild Kuwaiti and Iraqi civilian
infrastructures it destroyed during the war while leaving its own
education system in decay, domestic transportation infrastructures
crumbling, and inner city war zones uninhabitable. And, while the
U.S. assists Kuwait in cleaning up its environmental disaster, it will
increase pollution at home. Indeed, as the long-dead Prussian field
marshal prophesied, "a war, even the most victorious, is a national
misfortune."

[Oliver] North managed to network himself into the highest levels of
the CIA and power centers around the world. There he lied and
boastfully ignored the constitutional process, Bradlee writes.


Yet more terrifying is the plan hatched by North and other Reagan
people in the Federal Emergency Manpower Agency (FEMA): A blueprint
for the military takeover of the United States. The plan called for
FEMA to become ``emergency czar'' in the event of a national emergency
such as nuclear war or an American invasion of a foreign nation. FEMA
would also be a buffer between the president and his cabinet and other
civilian agencies, and would have broad powers to appoint military
commanders and run state and local governments. Finally, it would
have the authority to order suspect aliens into concentration camps
and seize their property.


When then-Attorney General William French Smith got wind of the plan,
he killed it. After Smith left the administration, North and his FEMA
cronies came up with the Defense Resource Act, designed to suspendend
the First Amendment by imposing censorship and banning strikes.


Where was it all heading? The book's answer: ``REX-84 Bravo, a
National Security Decision Directive 52 that would become operative
with the president's declaration of a state of national emergency
concurrent with a mythical U.S. military invasion of an unspecified
Central American country, presumably Nicaragua.''


Bradlee writes that the Rex exercise was designed to test FEMA's
readiness to assume authority over the Department of Defense, the
National Guard in all 50 states, and ``a number of state defense
forces to be established by state legislatures.'' The military would
then be ``deputized,'' thus making an end run around federal law
forbidding military involvement in domestic law enforcement.


Rex, which ran concurrently with the first annual U.S. show of force
in Honduras in April 1984, was also designed to test FEMA's ability to
round up 400,000 undocumented Central American aliens in the United
States and its ability to distribute hundreds of tons of small arms to
``state defense forces.''


Incredibly, REX 84 was similar to a plan secretly adopted by Reagan
while governor of California. His two top henchmen then were Edwin
Meese, who recently resigned as U.S. attorney general, and Louis
Guiffrida, the FEMA director in 1984.

This is the front-page article of the Jan. 16 issue of "The
Guardian," which describes some of the U.S. government's planning
for martial law in the event of the Gulf war. This is truly a
scary scenario that should concern all civil libertarians and
patriots.
------------------------------------------------------------------


WILL GULF WAR LEAD TO REPRESSION AT HOME?
by Paul DeRienzo and Bill Weinberg


On August 2, 1990, as Saddam Hussein's army was consolidating control
over Kuwait, President George Bush responded by signing two executive
orders that were the first step toward martial law in the United
States and suspending the Constitution.


On the surface, Executive Orders 12722 and 12723, declaring a
"national emergency," merely invoked laws that allowed Bush to freeze
Iraqi assets in the United States.


The International Emergency Executive Powers Act permits the president
to freeze foreign assets after declaring a "national emergency," a
move that has been made three times before -- against Panama in 1987,
Nicaragua in 1985 and Iran in 1979.


According to Professor Diana Reynolds, of the Fletcher School of
Diplomacy at Boston's Tufts University, when Bush declared a national
emergency he "activated one part of a contingency national security
emergency plan." That plan is made up of a series of laws passed since
the presidency of Richard Nixon, which Reynolds says give the
president "boundless" powers.


According to Reynolds, such laws as the Defense Industrial
Revitalization and Disaster Relief Acts of 1983 "would permit the
president to do anything from seizing the means of production, to
conscripting a labor force, to relocating groups of citizens."


Reynolds says the net effect of invoking these laws would be the
suspension of the Constitution.


She adds that national emergency powers "permit the stationing of the
military in cities and towns, closing off the U.S. borders, freezing
all imports and exports, allocating all resources on a national
security priority, monitoring and censoring the press, and warrantless
searches and seizures."


The measures would allow military authorities to proclaim martial law
in the United States, asserts Reynolds. She defines martial law as the
"federal authority taking over for local authority when they are
unable to maintain law and order or to assure a republican form of
government."


A report called "Post Attack Recovery Strategies," about rebuilding
the country after a nuclear war, prepared by the right-wing Hudson
Institute in 1980, defines martial law as dealing "with the control of
civilians by their own military forces in time of emergency."


The federal agency with the authority to organize and command the
government's response to a national emergency is the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). This super-secret and elite agency was
formed in 1979 under congressional measures that merged all federal
powers dealing with civilian and military emergencies under one
agency.


FEMA has its roots in the World War I partnership between government
and corporate leaders who helped mobilize the nation's industries to
support the war effort. The idea of a central national response to
large-scale emergencies was reintroduced in the early 1970s by Louis
Giuffrida, a close associate of then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan and
his chief aide Edwin Meese.


Reagan appointed Giuffrida head of the California National Guard in
1969. With Meese, Giuffrida organized "war-games" to prepare for
"statewide martial law" in the event that Black nationalists and
anti-war protesters "challenged the authority of the state." In 1981,
Reagan as president moved Giuffrida up to the big leagues, appointing
him director of FEMA.


According to Reynolds, however, it was the actions of George Bush in
1976, while he was the director of the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), that provided the stimulus for centralization of vast powers in
FEMA.


Bush assembled a group of hawkish outsiders, called Team B, that
released a report claiming the CIA ("Team A") had underestimated the
dangers of Soviet nuclear attack. The report advised the development
of elaborate plans for "civil defense" and post-nuclear government.
Three years later, in 1979, FEMA was given ultimate responsibility for
developing these plans.


Aware of the bad publicity FEMA was getting because of its role in
organizing for a post-nuclear world, Reagan's FEMA chief Giuffrida
publicly argued that the 1865 Posse Comitatus Act prohibited the
military from arresting civilians.


However, Reynolds says that Congress eroded the act by giving the
military reserves an exemption from Posse Comitatus and allowing them
to arrest civilians. The National Guard, under the control of state
governors in peace time, is also exempt from the act and can arrest
civilians.


FEMA Inspector General John Brinkerhoff has written a memo contending
that the government doesn't need to suspend the Constitution to use
the full range of powers Congress has given the agency. FEMA has
prepared legislation to be introduced in Congress in the event of a
national emergency that would give the agency sweeping powers. The
right to "deputize" National Guard and police forces is included in
the package. But Reynolds believes that actual martial law need not be
declared publicly.


Giuffrida has written that "Martial Rule comes into existence upon a
determination (not a declaration) by the senior military commander
that the civil government must be replaced because it is no longer
functioning anyway." He adds that "Martial Rule is limited only by the
principle of necessary force."


According to Reynolds, it is possible for the president to make
declarations concerning a national emergency secretly in the form of a
Natioanl Security Decision Directive. Most such directives are
classified as so secret that Reynolds says "researchers don't even
know how many are enacted."


DOMESTIC SPYING


Throughout the 1980s, FEMA was prohibited from engaging in
intelligence gathering. But on July 6, 1989, Bush signed Executive
Order 12681, pronouncing that FEMA's National Preparedness Directorate
would "have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence,
investigative, or national security work." Recent events indicate that
domestic spying in response to the looming Middle East war is now
under way.


Reynolds reports that "the CIA is going to various campuses asking for
information on Middle Eastern students. I'm sure that there are
intelligence organizations monitoring peace demonstrations."
According to the University of Connecticut student paper, the Daily
Campus, CIA officials have recently met there to discuss talking with
Middle Eastern students.


The New York Times reports that the FBI has ordered its agents around
the country to question Arab-American leaders and business people in
search of information on potential Iraqi "terrorist" attacks in
response to a Gulf war.


A 1986 Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) document entitled
"Alien Terrorists and Other Undesirables: A Contingency Plan" outlines
the potential round-up and incarceration in mass detainment camps of
U.S. residents who are citizens of "terrorist" countries, chiefly in
the Middle East. This plan echoed a 1984 FEMA nationwide "readiness
exercise code-named REX-84 ALPHA, which included the rehearsal of
joint operations with the INS to round up 40,000 Central American
refugees in the event of a U.S. invasion of the region. One of the 10
military bases established as detainment camps by REX-84 ALPHA, Camp
Krome, Fla., was designated a joint FEMA-Immigration service
interrogation center.


Recently, FEMA has been criticized in the media for inadequate
response to the October, 1989 San Francisco earthquake. What the
mainstream press has failed to cover is the agency's planned role in
repressing domestic dissent in the event of an invasion abroad.

Social commentary by the owner of Ruthless from the Truth

Accidental pet food contamination or mass murder of our aged poor. Quite the question to pose is it not.  Just think of it; what a way to cover up a large mass murder of epic proportions that even Rames2, Herod or Hitler would envy. Unseen by most and no reporter has even remotely touched it, interesting isn’t it? 

 Today in America an ever growing number of our elderly are forced to decide on weather to eat or buy the medicine.   Because of this choice, now more than ever before a large growing number of America's aged poor rely on pet food as a food source.  I know it's gross, not deny that, but I have seen it.  I saw it first hand living in Florida . 

Think of it what the toxins in this food do to the poor little animals; kidney failure and of course death.  In the aged poor who would notice….Just for your consideration.

                                       The Death Of The Liberal Media
                                                        By Ernest Stewart

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." --- A.J. Liebling

Announcer: Yes those puppies are tearing into a tin full of Billy Jack brand dog food. You know, the dog food that Billy Jack likes?
Granny: Us old folks like it too Jackie!
In The Next World, You're On Your Own --- The Firesign Theatre

Once upon a time in America there was this thing called, "The Fairness Doctrine." It was a law that had two basic elements. One: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest. Two: It required broadcasters to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Simple and fair, huh?

The Fairness Doctrine was formally adopted as an FCC rule at the beginning of the TV era in 1949 being a continuation of similar laws for radio. In 1959 Congress amended the Communications Act of 1934 to enshrine the Fairness Doctrine into law, rewriting Chapter 315(a) to read:

"A broadcast licensee shall afford reasonable opportunity for discussion of conflicting views on matters of public importance."

The U.S. Supreme Court, upheld the law when it ruled in "Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC," in 1969 that:

"It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the government itself or a private licensee. It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, esthetic, moral and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here. That right may not constitutionally be abridged either by Congress or by the FCC."

Every thing was hunky dory until 1987 when old Dementia head and the Crime Family Bush packed the FCC and repealed the law. By this time the far right-wing had secured all of the US TV media, which ended any fairness from your broadcast channels. It also gave rise to CNN and Fox Spews neither of which could have existed under the Fairness Doctrine. That was the first death of the "Liberal Media."

Our corporate masters could have lived happily ever after if it wasn't for a little thing called The Internet! That's where I come in folks!

As a history/poli- sci major I had been following the Crime Family Bush for decades noting each and every act or treason and sedition so when they decided to run W to be our glorious fuhrer I snapped out of the daze that Slick Willie had me in and began to pay serious attention to this gang of goons. When right before my eyes the 12/12/2000 judicial coup d'etat went down I said enough is enough and decided to do whatever I could to bring this seditious treason to a halt and hence "Issues Alibis" was born and we began publishing on February 1, 2001.

One of the first things I decided was that there would be no cost to the readership. I didn't want to leave the poor out, as they were the ones that were going to get screwed first and most. I wanted a place where everybody could find the truth. Although I hadn't worked full time in 5 years I still had some money left over from my radio daze, which I thought should be more than enough to keep the magazine going. I was wrong! By 2004 I no longer had enough money to run the magazine and had to ask y'all for a little help. Out of the millions of hits we've gotten five of you stood up and sent me just enough to keep the magazine going for 2004, 2005 and 2006. In addition to that I drew a salary of $50 a year! Not the $150,000 or $280,000 that some centralist dot org editors receive but hey I'm not doing this folks to earn a living as long as I have a roof over my head and some porridge in the pot on I go!

This year those 5 folks have sent nothing in. I hope they're not as broke as I am, but I fear they are and I'm going to have to close the magazine in about another month. As many of you have written in to tell me we are that "Liberal Media" that has Fox Spews and CNN so upset. Y'all have done what Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, O'Reily and Rush couldn't do, shut us down. Actually I don't mind as it frees up on average about 60 hours a week for me. Some of which I could actually pursue earning a living again, imagine that! It won't stop me from ranting as that takes up about 4 hours to write and research. However while about half of what's in the magazine can be easily found elsewhere, the other half; often the most important half, will be lost unless you have about 40 hours a week to search for it. While getting my life back is a pleasant thought I'd just as soon continue the fight and I will with your help.

If you want to see us continue send me whatever you can a.s.a.p. via postal money order made out to Ernest Stewart. Or you can send cash, I no longer have bank accounts, credit cards or such, c'est la guerre! Place it in an envelope (and in the case of cash, wrap it in a sheet of paper) and send it to:

Ernest Stewart
PO Box 751
Wayne, Michigan 48184-0751

Have you seen what the Senate's been up to lately? If you're retired you already know what I'm talking about. Our Demoncrat controlled Senate blocked a bid to allow for the importation of prescription drugs at prices averaging 1/3 what consumers get soaked for in this country. Of course had it passed Bush being the corpo-rat whore that he is would have vetoed it with some lame excuse about you can't trust those sinister Canadians and Australians but only good ole American Pharmaceuticals. Bush shouldn't have worried, as Big Pharma owns enough members on both sides of the aisle not to worry, the fix is in!

So it looks like grand ma and grand pa had better get used to eating tainted dog and cat food if they want their life saving medicine. There's a thought, do you suppose that the tainted pet food was allowed to be sold because it might take a few hundred thousand retirees off the rolls? Nah, they're not that bright but I bet they took notice of it down in Foggy Bottom!

Big Pharmacy has had a captive audience thanks to the various political traitors who have sold us out. Here in Michigan if they sell you pure poison and it kills your family there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot sue even as millions sue the same companies for the same poison everywhere else on the planet and then they wonder why people are leaving Michigan by the millions? I don't!

Still for all you old timers or anyone else who can not afford to pay this ransom money to the crooks and thieves of big Pharma and who live near a US border you can still take your scripts into Canada or Mexico and get them filled at discount rates. In fact some medicines in Canada don't even require a script. Of course after this year you'll need a passport or a fast boat to get your scripts filled which should cut down on those too poor to buy a $100 passport. Of course the rich don't have to do this it's still chump change to them, it's just the poor who suffer needlessly. And since the point of all that has happened lately is to eliminate the middle class and bring us back to Kings and peons it's only going to get worse. For all you young men and women out there imagine what it's going to be like in another 40 years when it's your turn to eat cat food!

My, my, my, what is the world coming too, when we have to have a website to show us what schools in the Nation are on lock down status.  The worst part is that at any one given time we have over 100 schools on lock down across the U.S.   Granted many are in California and Florida , big surprise there, right?  But the numbers of rural schools that are in lock down are staggering and horrifying…I believe it is well over 40%.

At a certain point you have to ask you’re self whether your kids will be safe at all.

I faced the lock down deal in Florida and I can tell you it is the most horrible experience one can have.   It made me want to never send my kids back.  It was not due to the bomb threat that I felt this way; on the contrary, it was the behavior of the teachers, school staff, principle and police.  In this scenario there had been a bomb threat, so we were told at the time.  In reality a child had wrote a note about being depressed and threw it away in a trash can in the lady’s room.  A janitor picked it up, read it and responded…Like the children’s tale of Henny Penny soon the sky was falling…  No where in the note was there a threat of anything…it just said “I am depressed, and lonely and don’t know who to talk to or what to do about it…please help. “  Oh yeah I can see how scary that must be…yes that is a bit sarcastic but it gets better.  Believing still that they were in danger they took the children out to the back of the school and forced them to stay on school ground 4 hours after school was out.   Parents were treated with jail for demanding the release of their children.  Mind you the school had been given the all clear hours earlier. 

Parents who protested the abuse of the school we banned from school grounds and spoke to as if it was there fault that any of this had taken place to begin with.

In the end four parents lost jobs over this incident, 12 parents were banned from school grounds.  Many, many children were scared for life. 

 I am providing the link to the site that tells you where and when schools are locked down.  Guard your child and speak up in your community about such things and don’t let them tell you it’s not your business.  It takes a tribe to raise a child, stand tall , speak out and demand changes be made to protect our kids from the bad and the good guys…

Finally a solution for eco friendly moms.  Moms like me who struggle between using cloth diapers and disposables. Well there great news, Eco-friendly diapers.  They are even flushable. 
These new flushable eco friendly diapers are being marketed in the United  
as gDiapers.  They can be flushed away but even if they are dropped in the trash,  
they biodegrade in 150 days compared to 500 years for  
a plastic diaper. Even better than that for those of us on farms ,the wet diapers can also be used for compost. 

 The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the first paper we know of other than us to post this wonderful story said gDiapers consist of outer pants with a Velcro closure,  
snap-in nylon liners and flushable pads. The used pads  
are removed from the liner and flushed. The outer pants  
and nylon liners are washed and reused.  The gDiapers  
system has been in use in Australia and Tasmania for  
18 years, the newspaper said. The company said the  
product made its U.S. debut last spring and by November  
                                           had sold a million diapers.  You can find these diapers by going to   http://www.gdiapers.com

Terror of Pediatric Medicine
IMVA Publications

Dear IMVA,

I am very pleased to announce the free e-book "The Terror of Pediatric Medicine" (350 pages), which is the first of a series of books on medical truth from the newly formed publishing company inside the IMVA. Anyone who wants to read about the dangers of vaccines and other horrific medical practices aimed at the very young will find this book medically and scientifically informative as well as inspirational. Early on I say in the book "by the time you finish reading this book, you will understand the title." I was on the radio tonight speaking in no uncertain terms about the terrorism of the Federal Drug and Food Administration (FDA) and the big pharmaceutical companies who are into the culture of poisoning people and calling that medicine.

Helping children by poisoning them is not a viable option or even medically sane though the medical community thinks so. Pediatrics is in general inhumane. It's a group of men and woman specially trained to terrorize newborns and young ones and their families and to feel good about it in the process. If that is not the truth I would like to hear about it! Of course I would concede the many exceptions, the courageous ones that step out from the herd but that is almost impossible for an American pediatrician to do unless he or she retires.

This is an updated version of my early work in the vaccine field, a widely published mini book: "Cry of the Heart." The new book covers in-depth the vaccine controversy, pediatric dentistry, oncology as well as childhood psychiatry and psychology. The book format is in beautiful html and offers us hope and solutions for a world of medicine gone mad and is especially timely considering the recent information on the state legislators, backed heavily by the pharmaceutical companies and political groups, who are attempting and succeeding in making mandatory the new and unproven HPV vaccine against cervical cancer for all girls at age 11.

Link to the book download: http://www.imva.info/books.shtml

You have to send in your name and email address to access the download but I will make sure that you do not receive duplicates of our newsletter.

I am off tomorrow into the interior of Brazil for two weeks to my retreat center that I hope to turn into a sanctuary for my friends. Also I want to open up options for my family's future. With massive climate changes in the offering I want to have two entirely different environments to choose from. I presently live in a modern city on the coast but want my hands in a pristine area at the far end of the world in the interior highlands. Drinking the water as it comes out of the mountain side is highly appealing to me.

I have been getting a few letters in protest against my political writings and some people just do not get it. In a world of separation we have become terribly fragmented in our thinking when in reality everything converges and has an effect on every other thing. Principles of Oneness translate into the reality that global warming will greatly impact our health. It is already killing many people and will kill millions and millions more in the coming years. So will the insanity of the president of the United States if he starts yet another war. Medicine and health are not separate from politics or even economics as many millions will soon learn. Even the housing bubble http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article303.html will affect the health and happiness of millions. The economics of medicine as well as the financial fundamentals of the world, especially the United States, are on incredibly shaky grounds.

It pays to read labels but tricks are used to hide MSG's presence. Hydrolyzed protein, textured vegetable
protein are two ways to hide the MSG. MSG is a neurotoxin. It is commonly found in kimshi and I suspect
it is why Koreans have an inordinate number of strokes and stomach cancers.   Peace, D. Mindock
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With special thanks to: Wayne Erickson MSG Information Center

Extracted from: <http://www.msgmyth.com/brochure.pdf>What is MSG?

Current research links MSG to neurodegenerative
diseases like Alzheimer's, Huntington's,
Parkinson's, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

FDA records show that MSG was never actually
tested, but it was given an automatic GRAS
(generally regarded as safe) status as were salt and pepper in the 1950s.

Children and elderly are most vulnerable to the degenerative effects of MSG.

Here is a brief list of common effects of MSG and
some curious statistics published by national organizations.

Heart maladies- More than 70 million Americans
have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease
and 43% of all deaths in the U.S. are related to
these problems. The number of cardiovascular
operations went up 287% from 1980-1990.

Alzheimer's disease, not an identifiable
healthcare cost in 1980, now ranks third after
cancer and heart disease among the most costly
health problems in America. Four million people
afflicted at a cost of $47,000/person/ year, is
$188 billion/year in healthcare costs.

Headaches & Migraines- $2.2 billion/year are
spent on drugs to treat headaches, with a 74%
increase in these chronic conditions between 1980-1990.

Asthma, which was on the decline until the
mid-eighties, now shows a 100% increase in the
death rate among children and seniors. Incidence
has increased 600% in the last 10 years. The FDA
recognizes that uncontrollable asthma" can be
caused by MSG, but stops there, unfortunately.

Tumors- There has been an 88% increase in tumors since 1982.

Birth Defects and Reproduction Disorders - MSG is
a known mutagen" (mutates fetuses) and causes
significant damage to intellectual development,
growth patterns, reproduction and gonadal functions.

Neurological/Emotional Disorders - Lab studies
show devastating effects on brain development
including dyslexia, autism, attention deficit
disorder, hyperactivity, schizophrenia, violent
episodes (rage), panic attacks, seizures,
paranoia, depression, and cerebral palsy. Humans
are 5 times more sensitive to MSG than rats which were used in tests.

Obesity is one of the most consistent effects of
excitotoxin exposure and is a growing problem,
nationwide, that knows no age or sex boundaries.
In fact, scientists feed glutamate to young
laboratory animals as a reliable way of inducing
obesity. MSG triggers an insulin/adrenalin/fat
storage/food craving response. This depletes
seratonin levels which trigger headaches,
depression, fatigue, and leads to more food cravings.

Fibromyalgia is a growing epidemic. Fibromyalgia
patients who eliminated MSG and aspartame during
a study conducted by the University of Florida
reported complete relief of symptoms (2001).

Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and Huntington's diseases,
like Alzheimer's, are all progressive neurogenic
diseases showing brain/nerve cell damage.

Other symptoms of MSG sensitivity include:
swollen throat and tongue, racing heart, joint
pain, vertigo, skin disorders, sleeping
disorders, burning, tightness or redness on face,
and gastrointestinal complaints.

Tests and Misinformation Dr. Adrienne Samuels
(Ph.D. in Research) in a 1999 industry journal
("Accountability in Research") stated that human
tests of MSG, . were often poorly designed,
included inaccurate data and came to misleading
conclusions." She wrote, "flawed research,
suppression of facts and dissemination of
inaccurate information are all tools that are
used by special interest groups to misle ad the
public and government agencies." Her research
showed that all tests to date have been funded by
or had ties to the food industry. These lobby
groups are comprised of the largest food
companies in America who profit from MSG use.

                       When all else fails...Blame G-d...

          Bayer defends genetic contamination as "Act of God"
      06 February 2007
  "http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/act-of-god-060207You

Yes folks it seems that according to Bayer, God hasn't been
dealing with the big issues lately. Instead of answering
millions of prayers, stopping wars or ending famines, God
has left all the important things to gather dust in the
heavenly inbox whilst ensuring Bayer's unapproved variety of
genetically engineered (GE) rice goes forth and multiplies
around the world instead.

According to documents submitted to the court by Bayer, last
year's massive contamination of US rice with an unapproved,
experimental variety of rice called LL601 was due to 'acts
of God' or the rice farmers themselves.

Pushing the blame onto the rice farmers is no surprise as
the farmers are the ones suing Bayer for millions of dollars
of lost income. The price of US rice plummeted last year,
immediately following the discovery of the GE contamination
in rice exported to Europe and Japan, where consumer
resistance to Bayer's less-than-divine intervention in
their food is strong.

The LL601 rice was originally grown as an experimental field
trial all the way back in 1999-2001. The trial ended with no
approval for growing the strain commercially.

That should have been the end of LL601 for good. But five
years later, testing of US rice imports across Europe and
Japan showed the experimental LL601 very much alive and
contaminating.

"Bayer is aggressively pursuing commercial approvals for its
GE rice globally, including in Europe and Brazil, yet
refuses to accept responsibility for the major financial
damage its unauthorized GE rice has caused in the US and
elsewhere."

"Indeed, Bayer is blaming hardworking farmers or 'acts of
God' for these problems when all signs point to Bayer being
at fault," said Adam Levitt, a partner in the law firm of
Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz - one of the law firms
leading the prosecution of these cases against Bayer.

Shifting the blame isn't new for big business trying to
avoid responsibility for their mistakes. But God as
scapegoat? That's probably a new low in the GE industry's
pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Sheep, Goats and CL

Some things I just learned about Sheep and Goats.

As most of the members already know I raise Jacob Sheep and Dairy Goats.

Where I live here in Arkansas where an illness known as Caseous Lymphadenitis is running ramped among most of the herds out here.  The test to check you’re herd can be costly if even available and most of the time requires there to be abscesses all ready on the body of your sheep or goat.  

In my humble opinion by the time you see these abscesses it’s already to late as this can be one of the two forms of this disease.  One being internal abscesses and on visible on the out side of the animal.

I decided a while back to vaccinate the all of my herds against this disease as it has no known cure at this time and the most vet prescribed way of treating it is culling the animal maybe even the whole herd.

Well after waiting weeks and weeks for the vaccine to get here it finally came.  The Vaccine in made by Colorado Veterinary Products.  It of course says for Sheep…only aghhh.  So I ask the feed store person about this and he says it should be ok.  I roll my eyes go home and of course call the company.  I do find out that there are coming out with a goat vaccine latter this year and they say it is ok although off label to use this vaccine on goats.

 I also found out that if your animal be it goat or sheep has this disease in hiding it will bring it up to the top so to speak.   You will know he said within the first two weeks but for sure by eight weeks if an animal has it.  A cheap fool proof test. 

The cost where I live for the Corynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis Bacternin-Toxoid is $8.95 for 10 doses.  He told me there would be no missing the sign of external lesions on infected animals and because it is a dead vaccine there is no risk of the animal getting it from the shot. 

In the future as I buy new sheep and goats I will use this and quarantine for a period of two months to help prevent adding potentially sick animals to my herd.

I do separate and treat sick animals and maybe close to a break though cure for this disease…time will tell and I will help anyone who has this in their herd if I can.

Meijer's unveils a plan to help American children in need of Antibiotics

 Meijer's has announced that they will give these 7 anitbiotics in a 14 day dose away free: Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, SMZ-TMP, Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Penicillin, VK, Erythromycin.

They say they are doing this because they are concerned by the rising health care costs and it's dramatic impact on families across the country.

 In reality it is a well thought out money making deal that is taking place almost one full month after Wal-Mart announced  that it will offer certain generic forms of several low cost antibiotics for just $4.00 for a full 30 days worth.

Now of course you need a doctors script to get either of these after all they are by prescription only and a few other little catchers apply...so click on the links I have included to see if this does really help you before you get to excited.

 So I have to say way to go Meijer's!!!!    Ride the coat tails of the great and powerful Wal-Mart and bless you for doing so as it will help a lot of families this year. 

Now if you are wondering how Wal-Marts  offer works. It's pretty simple.  They are offering a 30 day supply of one of 314 generic drugs including many common antibiotics for just $4.00.  Currently they are doing this in about 128 of their stores in 28 states.  They will expand it soon to cover even more stores and help even more people.  Another thing Wal-Mart is currently doing is to offer Gerber baby foods at half off for a limited time. So I guess they are making a good effort to help working families. 

So kudos to Wal-Mart and Meijer's for stepping up to give us all a little break...

If you want to learn more I have enclosed two links at the bottom of this page.  One is to Wal-Mart the other for Meijer's.

Happy free shopping....

The World's Best Ant Poison
                              by Jan Jensen of WELLthy Choices  

We live in the woods and carpenter ants are a huge problem. We have
spent  thousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying to keep
them under control but nothing has helped.  So when I read somewhere
that Aspartame (Nutrasweet) was actually developed as an ant poison and
only changed to being considered non-poisonous after it was realized that
a lot more money could be made on it as a sweetener than as an ant
poison, I decided to give it a try.  I opened two packets of aspartame
sweetener,  and dumped one in a corner of each of our bathrooms. That was 2
yrs ago and I have not seen any carpenter ants for about 9 - 12 months.

It works better than the most deadly poisons I have tried. Any time
they show up again, I simply dump another package of Nutrasweet in a
corner, and they will be gone for a year or so again.  Since posting this
information I have had many people tell me of their success solving ant
problems with this substance, when nothing else worked. 

We found later that small black ants would not eat the aspartame. It
was determined that if you mixed it with apple juice, they would quickly
take it back to the nest, and all would be dead within 24 hours,
usually. I have found that sometimes it will kill them, and sometimes it does
not. Not sure why, may be slightly different species of ants or
something.  

Fire Ants: We got our first fire ant hill about 2 weeks ago. Poison did
not work. We tried aspartame and the ants ignored it until we got a
light rain. It was just a sprinkle, enough to moisten the Nutrasweet and
ground, but not enough to wash it away. They went crazy, hundreds of
them grabbing it and taking it back into the mound. When I checked the
mound 2 days later, there was no sign of the fire ants. I even dug the
mound up some, and still saw none of them.  How does it Work: Aspartame is
a neuropoison. It most likely kills the ants by interfering with their
nervous system. It could be direct, like stopping their heart, or
something more subtle like killing their sense of taste so they can't figure
out what is eatable, or smell, so they can't follow their trails, or
mis-identify their colonies members, so they start fighting each other. 
Not sure what causes them to end up dying, just know that for many
species of ants it will kill them quickly and effectively.  As with any
poison I recommend wearing gloves and washing any skin areas that come in
contact with this poison, and avoid getting it in your mouth, despite
anything the labeling may indicate. 

 
More information on this fantastic poison can be found at:
http://www.dorway.com
( this is an excellent website on the subject - - Martha )

The Truth About Aspartame...
Aspartame is NOT a natural substance!
Aspartame is NOT a Diet Enhancement product!
Aspartame is NOT safe - for ANYONE!
Aspartame is NOT a food "additive"
Aspartame is an  UNREGULATED  and  UNSAFE DRUG! 
(It was originally slated to be a peptic ulcer drug!)
Aspartame in liquids turns to FORMALDEHYDE above freezing!
Aspartame is even worse for DIABETICS!
Aspartame poisoning is cumulative (it adds up IN YOUR BODY!)
Aspartame byproducts get stored in your FAT!
Aspartame has 92 "Official" Side Effects (the worst is DEATH!)
Aspartame MIMICS a wide range of problems
Aspartame side effects are USUALLY MISDIAGNOSED! (By 21 doctors, in My
Case!)
Aspartame is unfit for human consumption!
Aspartame's approval by the FDA is a SHAMELESS tragedy!
Aspartame's approval for use in EVERYTHING is far worse!

Who are the culprits? FDA, Searle, Monsanto, NutraSweet and more!
The ONLY "CURE" is total exclusion from the diet!
TOTAL recovery may not be possible!
Only an irate and active PUBLIC can rid the world of this POISON!
If YOU have been affected, REPORT IT! GET INVOLVED!

all the shenanigans were going on. In a conversation with Dr. Betty
Martini, Dr. H. J. Roberts and Dr. Russell Blaylock, he admitted the
studies on aspartame were so bad that when his report was retyped, the FDA
removed the worst 20 percent. So, as bad as this report is, it was
originally worse. Dr. Roberts wrote his congressman demanding the FDA
release the other 20 percent, but they refused saying it was confidential.
Read the FDA report.

ABSTRACT:  The level of aspartame in a can of Diet Coke was found to be
0.06% by a food testing laboratory.  The remaining cans from one case
of Diet coke were stored under three different heat conditions for 10
weeks.

Seven cans were stored in an incubator (104 degrees Fahrenheit), seven
cans were stored at room temperature (68-70 degrees Fahrenheit).  At
the end of 70 days samples were tested for levels of aspartame,
formaldehyde
and DKP (diketopiperazine).  The refrigerated sample contained 0.058
percent aspartame, 0.001 percent DKP and 53.5 parts per billion of
formaldehyde.  The room temperature sample contained 0.051 percent aspartame,
0.002 percent DKP and 231 parts per billion of formaldehyde. The
incubator sample contained 0.026 percent aspartame, 0.010 percent DKP and
76.2 parts per billion of formaldehyde.  In addition 10 human subjects
tasted each soda sample plus a new can of Diet Coke and rated each sample
for taste on a 1-4 scale with 1 being the best and 4 being the worst. 
The new can of Diet Coke received an average rating of 2.0.  The sample
stored in the refrigerator received an average rating of 2.6.  The
sample stored at room temperature received an average rating of 2.5.  The
sample stored in the incubator received an average rating of 3.8.  The
effects of heat on Diet coke produced the worst taste and the highest
amount of loss of aspartame as well as the greatest increase in levels of
DKP.  The most pleasing taste was for the new can of Diet Coke.  The
room temperature sample and the refrigerated sample scored almost the
same in the taste test.  All samples revealed a presence of formaldehyde. 
However, the highest level of formaldehyde occurred in the room
temperature can.  There was also formaldehyde present in the refrigerated
sample.

BACKGROUND:  Aspartame was discovered in l965 by Searle chemist, Jim
Schlatter.  He was developing this drug for another use and after
accidentally licking his finger found that aspartame was sweet.  Today
aspartame is consumed by more than 100 million people in the United States. 
This chemical (aspartame) has been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) who said that an individual can safely consume 97 packets
of aspartame every day.  Aspartame is in many products including some
that children use such as diet soda, light yogurt, Flintstone Vitamins,
baked goods, puddings, and Winterfresh gum.  It has been known
to cause headaches, nausea, vision problems, seizures and cancer in its
users.

The ingredients in aspartame are aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and
methyl alcohol.  Methyl alcohol is a chemical that breaks down in high
temperatures and turns into formaldehyde and DKP (diketopiperazine), two
chemicals known to cause problems in the nervous system.  Aspartame's
life is 262 days at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, or 25 degrees Celsius.  The FDA
gets more complaints about aspartame than any other food or drink. 

The symptoms of aspartame are a lot like the symptoms of multiple
sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.  Ever since aspartame was approved in
l985, there has been an increase in brain tumors.  There is no direct
proof that aspartame caused the brain tumors, but there is enough reason to
suspect that, and the television show, "60 Minutes" recently did a
report linking the increase in brain cancer to aspartame use.

The FDA reviewed Searle's studies of this artificial sweetener in which
rats were fed aspartame daily with their meals for one year.  There
were 12 brain tumors in the 320 rats that were fed aspartame and no brain
tumors in the 120 rats that were not fed aspartame.

There was also a study done at the University of Wisconsin on rhesus
monkeys.  they were fed aspartame daily.  After day 200 of a one year
study the monkeys developed epileptic seizures.  After the study ended,
the aspartame was discontinued and the monkeys were fully watched for 60
days.  The monkeys had no more seizures.

Did you know  ...

The ancient Teutons believed that on Easter, rabbits laid eggs. Thus the beginning of the Easter bunny.

Eggs were buried under foundations of buildings to ward off evil.

French Brides stepped upon an egg before crossing the threshold of their new homes.

In days of old, it was said that any egg laid on Friday would cure a stomach ache.

Easter eggs planted in vineyards were supposed to guard vines against thunder and hail.

Notice to anyone buying a seal-a-meal from Rival at Wal-Mart. 

Wal-Mart is currently carrying a least one absolute Rival Seal-a-meal. 

The Item number is VS106.

 It is no longer supported by Rival and several pulled off the shelf did not work.

Rival is offering to replace these free.  Well it is the very least they can do, after fours hours of discussions and me telling them that I would post there response here on Ruthless for the Truth.   On the brighter side they do not use a call center in India to answer their calls, so they win on that note.

Originally they asked me to take it back to Wal-Mart, but I explained I live one whole hour for a Wal-Mart so it would have been quit a task to return it and such.

The nice Manager (Bob) at Wal-Mart in West Plains, Missouri offered to bring one down to Thayer, Missouri which is much closer to where I live, an act of kindness, who knew it was possible from Wal-Mart...lol

So I will let everyone know how the new one works out for me…

The acts of the leader are the acts of the nation.

If the leader is just, the nation is just; if he is unjust, the nation too is unjust and is punished for the sins of the leader.

Non-Christians need not apply
By ROBYN E. BLUMNER, Times Perspective Columnist
Published August 13, 2006

____________________________________
Thanks to President Bush and his plan to Christianize the nation's provision
of social services, one's relationship with Jesus Christ has become a real
resume booster. As author Michelle Goldberg reports in her new book, Kingdom
Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, Bush has ushered in affirmative
action for the born- again.
In 2005 alone, more than $2-billion in federal tax money went to faith-based
programs for such services as job placement programs, addiction treatment
and child mentoring. Overwhelmingly, this money went to groups affiliated with
Christian religions.
This reallocation of social service money from secular agencies to
religiously affiliated programs has also resulted in shifting employment
opportunities. But some of these new employers have a shocking job requirement - only
Christians need apply.
Goldberg cited the publicly funded Firm Foundation of Bradford, Pa., as a
blatant example. The group provides prison inmates with job training, something
one would think any trained professional could do. Well, think again.
According to Goldberg, the group posted an ad for a site manager. It said that the
applicant must be "a believer in Christ and Christian Life today, sharing
these ideals when the opportunity arises." Apparently, experience and
qualifications are secondary.
Transforming social welfare into conversion therapy was Bush's design when
he made faith-based initiatives the priority of his administration's domestic
agenda. And his success has been astounding.
Before Bush upended things, religious groups had always been enlisted by
government as providers of social services. They just had to wholly separate
their religious mission from their government-funded services. Under Bush, there
has been substantial blurring of the line.
As to hiring, the law always allowed religious groups to discriminate on
religious grounds - so that the Catholic Church could hire Catholic priests, for
example - but that exemption did not extend to employees hired with public
funds to provide social welfare. It was a simple, clear rule. If you took
public money, you hired on the basis of merit, not piety.
But Bush wiped away this calibrated distinction by issuing a series of
executive orders early in his presidency approving taxpayer financed religious
discrimination.
Some of the resulting collateral damage has been tragic. Just talk to Anne
Lown. She worked for 24 years for the Salvation Army in New York City before
resigning due to the hostility she felt toward her non-Christian beliefs. The
office she ran had hundreds of employees with an annual budget of
$50-million, almost all of which came from public sources. Lown oversaw foster care
placements, day care services, residential services for the developmentally
disabled and many other programs.
In Lown's experience, the Salvation Army had always in the past been
meticulous about keeping its evangelical side from mingling with its provision of
social services, but all that changed in 2003. She attributes the change
directly to Bush's policies. A lawsuit filed by Lown and another 17 current and
former employees of the Salvation Army alleges that religion suddenly pervaded
the agency's personnel decisions.
Lown says she was handed a form that all employees were expected to
complete, asking for list of churches she attended over the last 10 years and the
name of her present minister. Lown says she was told that indicating "not
applicable" was not an option. A lawyer for the Salvation Army says the form was
modified after complaints were received.
But Lown said that atmosphere was fear-inducing for the professional staff.
She pointed to a mission statement that all employees were required to
support as a condition of employment. It stated that the organization's mission
"is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
Margaret Geissman, who is also part of the lawsuit, claims that she was
asked by a supervisor to point out gay and non-Christian employees, with the
overt suggestion that there would eventually be a purge of sorts. The Salvation
Army denies this.
Despite the Salvation Army's disclaimers, Goldberg cites an internal
Salvation Army document describing a deal struck in 2001 with the White House. In
exchange for the administration passing regulations protecting faith-based
groups from state and local antidiscrimination regulations relative to gays, the
Salvation Army agreed to promote the administration's faith-based agenda.
Forget the proverbial wall. Here it is, church and state working
hand-in-glove, with tax money and the government-sanctioned intolerance as the prize.
Meanwhile, money is flowing into religious coffers without anyone watching.
A June report from the Government Accountability Office found that few
government agencies that award grants to faith-based organizations bother to
monitor whether the recipient is improperly mixing religion into their programs or
discriminating against clients on the basis of religion. A few organizations
contacted by the GAO even admitted to praying with clients while providing
government-funded services. As to kicking out non-Christians on the staff, the
Bush Justice Department says that it is perfectly okay.
Just another example of how, under this president, I hardly recognize my
country anymore.

This letter was in the letter to the editor of the Herald Times newspaper Bloomington, Indiana, this morning, it made me so mad I had to go for 

a 2 mile walk to cool down, I am so mad that my finger cant hit the keyboard fast enough so forgive spelling errors.

Eliminate Backyard Flocks

To the Editor

  The city of Bloomington is considering allowing chickens to be kept legally in city backyards. Meanwhile, the world is facing a pandemic

of avian flu. Originating in East Asia, avian flu has reached Europe via migratory birds, and the World Health Organization reports that

its only a matter of time before it reaches North America. WHO has also made it clear that the vast majority of cases of avian flu have

been associated with exposure not to large commercial flocks but, rather to small backyard flocks. Now is the time for county and city

governments to eliminate backyard flocks not increase them.

To the editor

  Ms. Umiker-Sebeok, Do you know where your chicken comes from??.

Thousands of poultry are raised in filthy crowded commercial barns.  These large companies raise one breed, a limited genetic pool. Ms.

Umiker-Sebeok doesn't realize responsible small flock owners Practice biosecurity, Visitors are not allowed in my turkey pens.

 Ms. Umiker-Sebeok  should educate herself at Feathersite.com or The American Breeds Livestock Conservancy and see the varieties of

beautiful poultry .

 Under the care of responsible flocks enthusiast.

We are safeguarding a very valuable genetic pool of livestock our Ancestors raised that are on the verge of extinction. Why?? They are

no longer considered economical. The public demands a white bird that grows so quickly that many die from cardiomyopathy. Commercial birds 

succumb to rickets, fractures, and sores from dragging their Injured, deformed bodies through filthy litter. If uninformed people believe home 

flocks should be eliminated, then the very last vestiges of the small farm way of life will  disappear forever.

   Consider thousands of 4-Hers who will loose their beloved pets and the opportunity to learn responsibility.   Most people who raise

poultry are not uneducated  with filthy, half feathered disease vectors running around waiting to infect.

Here comes Big Brother and the Chicken Police

       by Rabbi Yonassan Gershom

According to an article by Dr. Mary Zanoni,
PH.D., in the Feb/Mar 2006 issue of "Backyard
Poultry", Big Brother is about to invade the
backyards of every American who owns even one
single animal that could conceivably be used as
food.  Even if you are a vegan and never use any
animal products yourself, you should be concerned
about this issue, because, if passed, the new
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations
could spell the end of the animal welfare
movement and the triumph of factory-farm
agribusiness. 

For several years now, the USDA has been asking
the big producers in the meat, egg, and dairy
industries to voluntarily register their herds
and flocks under the proposed "National Animal
Identification System" (NAIS).  The goal, if the
USDA has its way, is to make this registration
MANDATORY by January 1, 2008 -- and not just for
commercial producers.   Even if you have only one
chicken, turkey, goat, goose, duck, sheep, pig,
cow, horse (yes, some people do eat horse meat),
ostrich, emu or whatever -- and even if they are
beloved pets that you never plan to sell or eat,
you will still be required to:

1. Register your farm or backyard flock with the
USDA, including your name, address, telephone
number, and Global Positioning System coordinates
for satellite-assisted location of your home and
farm.  You will then receive a 7-digit "premises
ID number" to use in all reports to the USDA.
(By doing this, you are essentially consenting to
be spied upon.)

2. Register each animal individually and receive
a separate 15-digit number for each animal.  This
will then be programmed in to a microchip and
implanted the animal at YOUR expense.

3. Report within 24 hours the birth, death, sale,
or any movement of each animal to or from your
property (even to take it to the county fair or
the vet!) -- again at YOUR expense.

If this sounds like some kind of weird conspiracy
theory to you, check it out for yourself at the
official NAIS website (http://www.usda.gov/nais).
There you will find an overview of the plan and
the stages for implementing it, plus updates and
statistics on your own state, including how many
animal owners have voluntarily complied with the
request to register their premises.  (The
microchips will come later.)  The USDA, in turn,
is using this "voluntary compliance" data as
"proof" that people don't object to this program
-- even though most people with backyard flocks
don't even know about it.  At least one state,
Wisconsin, has already made registration
mandatory, with over 100,000 homes and farms
registered.  Other states are soon to follow,
unless people wake up to what is happening and
understand the REAL implications of this for the
humane and organic movements.

Although this is being touted by the USDA as a
way to track animals in case of an outbreak of a
disease or pandemic such as Asian bird flu, the
reality is, that it will hit hardest on small
organic and niche farmers, people who want to
raise their own eggs or meat, hobbyists who enjoy
the animals as pets, and anyone who prefers
free-run poultry or eggs to those from factory
farms.  There are NO EXCEPTIONS to NAIS, not even
for people like the Amish, who, for religious
reasons, do not use electronic devices.  In
short, this could spell the end of the family
farm as we know it.  Mary Zanoni writes in her
article:

"The NAIS will drive small producers out of the
market, will make people abandon raising animals
for their own food, will invade Americans'
personal privacy, and will violate the religious
freedom of Americans whose beliefs make it
impossible for them to comply. The NAIS will also
encourage increased industrial-scale animal
farming, and discourage the humane, small-scale
production of animal foods."  (Source: "The
USDA's proposed 'National Animal Identification
System': A plan for Government Monitoring and
your flock,"  Backyard Poultry, Feb/Mar 2006, p.
44) 

And get this:  The big companies, like National
Pork Producers and Cargill Meats, get special
breaks and considerations.  Rather than mark each
animal individually, they can register a whole
flock of poultry under a single ID number as the
birds move through the system from chick to
market.  But backyard poultry owners, small-scale
farmers, or even classroom incubator projects
will have to individually register EACH CHICK as
it is hatched, as well as keep up with all the
paperwork that will entail.  The extra costs of
all this red tape in time, labor, and equipment
(including the microchips and the computer with
internet access needed for the "within 24 hours"
reports) will NOT be funded by the government.
Even the USDA admits this on their site.  For
small-scale family farms already on the edge
economically, this additional bureaucratic burden
will be the death knoll.

So I ask myself:  Are the USDA and the meat
industry using the "mad cow" and "bird flu"
scares to get this plan implemented without
public protest?  Quite possibly.  It is no
accident that recent news stories about bird flu
show free-run birds being hauled off by workers
in anti-contamination suits, while, at the same
time, touting the 'safety" of poultry raised
under roofs or in cages in the commercial [read
"factory farm"] industry.  Even though Asian bird
flu is difficult to catch unless you are actually
slaughtering birds, people are now panicking over
it.  To the general public, the NAIS plan
probably sounds like a nice, modern, efficient
way to protect the food supply.  But people in
the organic, vegetarian, and animal welfare
movements know that meat produced in factory
farms and feedlots is MORE likely to pose a
threat to public health.  "Mad cow" disease, for
example, is not caused by free-run cattle grazing
in a field.  It is caused by feeding cows
commercial feeds contaminated with the virus from
ground-up animal parts -- something a cow would
never choose to eat in its natural diet.   As
Zanoni explains:

"The NAIS is touted by the USDA and
agricorporations as a way to make our food supply
'secure' against diseases or terrorism.  However,
most people instinctively understand that real
food security comes from raising food yourself or
buying it from a local farmer you actually
know... Ultimately, if NAIS goes into effect,
more consumers will have to buy food produced by
the large-scale industrial methods which multiply
the effects of any food safety and disease
problems. (Ibid, p. 45)

What can you do?  Zanoni recommends that
small-scale farmers and backyard animal owners
should NOT participate in any so-called
"voluntary" NAIS registration programs.  I agree.
Instead, we should get organized and create an
effective movement against this unholy marriage
between the USDA and the argricorps.  Here are
some activist suggestions:

1.  Educate yourself on this issue by going to
the NAIS site (http://www.usda.gov/nais). Then
Read up on the realities of factory farms,
disease control, family farm economics, etc.

2.  Work to make the public, and especially those
in the animal welfare movements, aware of this
well-kept secret that Big Brother has not been
telling us about.  Write letters to the editors
of your local papers, email your contacts, etc.

3.  Talk to your local farmers, Humane societies,
animal activist groups, hobbyists, etc. and make
them aware of this program and its negative
impact on farms and farm animals.  Hand out info
at farmers' markets, coops, organic food stores,
etc.

4.  Write to your Congresspersons and tell them
you are opposed to this plan.  Suggest that money
be spent instead to develop a bird flu vaccine,
as has been done with other poultry diseases in
the past.

5.  As an act of civil disobedience on behalf of
the animals, REFUSE to cooperate with this
program, on the grounds that it violates your
beliefs about kindness to animals by forcing them
to be raised under factory farm conditions.

6.  Organize public protests whenever a USDA
representative comes to your area to speak on
behalf of the program.   Challenge him/her with
your questions during the discussion period.  You
won't convince the speaker, but the audience is
listening. 

7.  Join "Farm for Life," an organization formed
to combat NAIS and promote healthier, more
sustainable agriculture.  For more info on "Farm
for Life," contact Mary Zanoni at mlz@slic.com,
or call 1-315-265-2800.

And remember -- the NAIS is not yet law -- but it
soon will be, unless people speak out and prevent
it. 

The time to act is now!!!

Rabbi Gershom

P.S. feel free to pass this email around, post it
to discussion groups, newsletters and blogs, etc.
