The
Secret Agenda of Mind Control
A declassified CIA document dated 7 Jan 1953 describes the experimental
creation of multiple personality in two 19-year old girls.
"These subjects have clearly demonstrated that they can
pass from a fully awake state to a deep H [hypnotic] controlled
state by telephone, by receiving written matter, or by the use of
code, signal, or words, and that control of those hypnotized can
be passed from one individual to another without great difficulty.
It has also been shown by experimentation with these girls that
they can act as unwilling couriers for information purposes.”
The
Brain Scan That Can Read Peoples' Intentions
A team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique
that allows them to look deep inside a person's brain and read their
intentions before they act. The research breaks controversial new
ground in scientists' ability to probe people's minds and eavesdrop
on their thoughts, and raises serious ethical issues over how brain-reading
technology may be used in the future.
Who
Are the Real Terrorists in Iraq?
An article in the Sunday Telegraph this weekend pointed towards evidence
that an secretive and elite unit of the British army is actively engaged
in recruiting and training Iraqi insurgents and terrorists as double
agents. This confirms what many have speculated for a long time, that
Britain and the US are deeply involved in bombings and attacks inside
Iraq which are subsequently attributed either to Sunni insurgents
or shadowy terrorist cells such as "Al Qaeda in Iraq".

a country’s “head,” the seat of most of its political
institutions and the largest concentration of its cultural brainpower.

Firebell In the Night!
(MS Word .Doc format)
The first, most fundamental, and important rule for understanding
and solving a problem is defining the problem correctly. In America
and the world today there is no "war of terrorism." Terrorism
is merely a tactic. To say we are in a war against "terrorism"
is like saying we are in a war against calvary-charges, Gatling-guns,
or submarines. Who are in the submarines? Why are they attacking us?
What can we do to stop them?
Post-election
2006: “Changes in course” and other post-election delusions
Following what appeared to be an election landslide that put the Democrats

Party faithful are euphoric, and insanely optimistic about a Democratic
“house cleaning” that will not only bring down the “now-repudiated”
Bush administration, but stop the war in Iraq, “restore oversight
and ethics," and “end corruption." Put down the champagne,
stop the hysterical laughter, and wake up: none of it will happen.

The
Fleecing of an American, George Horvat
Generally, Americans acknowledge the steady flow of cash into the
big pockets of big business, particularly under the current administration.
Americans were fleeced, just by seven Bush administration agencies,
for at least $1.6 billion between 2003 through mid-2005. This amount
was paid, through hundreds of contracts, to advertising agencies,
PR firms, and individuals. Pre-packaged spin disguised as news were
used to propagandize Americans into believing that "war is peace"
in Bush's ongoing profit-producing, conflict against "evil doers"
This is according to a Government Accountability Office report released
February 13, 2006.

Open Letter to the Red Cross
I am writing in regards the $385 million contract for vast detention
camps announced by Halliburton in a press release this past January.
Major media outlets have had little to say about this ominous development,
but given the American government’s previous use of such camps
to forcibly imprison over 110,000 Japanese-Americans (the majority
of whom were U.S. citizens) during WWII, the possibility of such camps
being used to illegally imprison Muslims, dissidents, citizens deemed
“enemy combatants,” and others in the coming months and
years cannot be dismissed.

The
New Anti-Semitism
A recent third type of anti-Jewish odium is something different. It
is a strange mixture of violent hatred by radical Islamists and the
more or less indifference to it by Westerners. Those who randomly
shoot Jews for being Jews - whether at a Jewish center in Seattle
or at synagogues in Istanbul - are for the large part Muslim zealots.
Most in the West explain away the violence. They chalk it up to anger
over the endless tit-for-tat in the Middle East. Yet privately they
know that we do not see violent Jews shooting Muslims in the United
States or Europe.

was worked out in a closed-door conference at the White House between
Republican congressional leaders and presidential advisers, including
Dick Cheney and his chief of staff, David Addington.
The
Sounds of Silencing
Free speech means hearing things you like and agree with, and it means
allowing others to speak whose views you do not like or agree with.
This--listening to the other person with respect and forbearance,

living in a great democracy. And it is a really low price for such
a great thing. We all know this, at least in the abstract. Why are
so many forgetting it in the particular?

is allowing the rapid conversion of the United States into something

Welcome
to Fascist America!
We’ve now gotten to the point where Nazi Germany was, say, in
1934. Remember, at that time, if you had told a typical German what
his government would do over the next ten years, he would have looked
at you as a madman. After all, his land had been civilized for over
a thousand years. His was the nation of Albertus Magnus, Gutenberg,
Goethe, Schiller, Beethoven, Bach, Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Fichte,
Heisenberg, Reimann, Mann, Lessing, Herder, Handel, Dürer, Leibniz,
Gauss, Helmholtz – he could have gone on, but you get the point.
His nation could not possibly descend into barbarism! If you tried
to tell him he was living in a police state, he would have pointed
out that his government had used its vast new powers very judiciously,
and only against a few trouble-makers. So far.

Empires drive history. But the empires of the past 100 years were

Letter from JPFO Supporter
"I came to this great country 12 years ago, as a political refugee,

marveled me how impervious is humanity to historical experience and
how vulnerable to agitation and frenzy. A little more than half a
century ago, the world experienced large-scale totalitarian dictatorship.
Two great monsters almost destroyed civilization. The world has not
cured yet from that terrible madness: The monsters are just wounded,
not dead. And it all started when these monsters tricked people into
surrendering their rights. Dictators have always been afraid of people's
rights. It's not difficult to imagine how armed citizens could endanger
the schemes breeding in the brains of a Fascist or a Communist. Up
there somewhere, someone wants people to believe that these monsters
are different from what could happen to our country, if we let them
take away our rights. Thanks for listening. "
