How Many Iraqis Have Died Since the US Invasion in 2003?
30,000? No. 100,000? No. By ANDREW COCKBURN
President Bush's off-hand summation last month of the number of Iraqis who have so far died as a result of our invasion and occupation as "30,000, more or less" was quite certainly an under-estimate. The true number is probably hitting around 180,000 by now, with a possibility, as we shall see, that it has reached as high as half a million.

# Spiritual Capitalism
Prosperity Through Purpose™
A Brief Introduction
Tuesday, January 17 7pm to 10pm
Created and Presented by
Jason D. McClain @ AuthenticSF
An introduction in how to:
? Discover your purpose--and live it
? Uncover your beliefs about your self that block your prosperity
? Uncover your beliefs about money that block your prosperity
? Reveal how your thinking around money keeps it from you
? Resolve the internal conflict between being spiritual and being in business

? Discover the dramatic depth of being you can attain with the assistance an
Evolutionary Guide
All in one brief evening!
Do you think or feel that a spiritual life and a monetarily prosperous life are in conflict? Are you considering taking that leap of faith by going into business for your Self? Have you already done so and are looking to increase your income, your opportunities, or get more "business savvy"? Do you want to increase your effectiveness and turn more prospects into clients? Do you want a greater command of the nuts and bolts of your business? Are you an employee or executive, satisfied with your job, your career, your income, but are lacking that sense of fulfillment that can only come from living your spiritual purpose?
Would you simply like to be happier, more fulfilled, or feel more purpose in what you do?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this mini workshop is for you.
Imagine living your purpose, driven by the unique essence of your spirit, enraptured in your day to day tasks because you are thriving while living with the freedom you have dreamed of all your life. Imagine being someone who says "I love my life. I live my purpose. I do what I want to do and I am making money for it."
Think this is impossible? Think again. However...
In order to do this, you must first resolve your limiting beliefs about your Self, about money, and about the society in which we live. Beliefs that are largely unconscious and do not serve you and your thrival.
Take your business and your Self to the next level. Start by registering NOW:

# Yuba/Bear Watershed Council presents: Climate change in the Sierra Nevada
By: Yuba/Bear Watershed Council
The next General Meeting of the Yuba/Bear Watershed Council on Wednesday, January 18th, will feature a program by Janet Cohen, past Chair of the Council and now consultant for Community Action Partners and the Sierra Nevada Alliance; and Carole Kennedy, Watershed Ecologist and Soil Scientist for the US Forest Service, Tahoe National Forest.
This outstanding team will present a summation of studies and reports concerning up to date knowledge about climate change in the Sierra Nevada. Climate change is becoming increasingly important in human planning for fire, water, FERC re-licensing, and more.
The Yuba/Bear Watershed Council continually brings together stakeholders to provide a forum for information and development of sustainable watershed management practices. Community-based stewardship programs have been recognized for promoting greater creativity in planning and more flexibility in management options for watershed protection. These efforts allow development of protection and enhancement programs that more appropriately suit the needs of local stakeholders.
Wednesday, January 18th from 10am-noon. NID headquarters, 1036 W. Main Street, Grass Valley. Call 265-5527 for information and directions.
# Harmony Events Presents: POWER MANIFESTATION with Zen DeBrücke
at Harmony Community Room in Sebastopol INTRO EVENING January 18, 2006
6:30-9:00 PM Free/Donation
Please bring a generous donation for Harmony Festival for providing this space for free for the evening!
LEVEL ONE- 1 DAY COURSE January 28, 2006 9:30-6:00 PM
What You will Learn!
o Energy flows where your thoughts go.
o You create the world around you now.
o Are you happy with what you are creating?
o Create a new and powerful reality.
This is a proven, step-by-step method of Manifesting.
Access your life-path/soul-path Purpose and Passion with certainty.
Power Manifestation is a revolutionary course designed to help you understand your own extraordinary manifestation power, and to teach you how to use it every day. This one day course is packed full of new ways to look at how we get what we get in our lives. The tools and practices you'll learn are guaranteed to bring new surplus and joy into your life. If you've seen the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" then you already know from experts interviewed in the film what the power of manifestation can do for all of us.
In recent decades, Quantum Physicists have uncovered a startling scientific discovery: our thoughts shape the reality around us. Why then does it seem impossible to shape our lives the way we want? Manifestation expert Zen DeBrücke has a simple answer: Most of us are unaware of the unique combination of practices it takes to manifest absolutely anything we want in our lives.
Sound too good to be true? Our Power Manifestation graduates disagree. They have closed million dollar sales deals overnight that were dragging on for months or years, settled lawsuits and difficult divorces with once-unthinkable positive outcomes, created and funded new businesses and manifested better physical health.
You Will Learn:
o The powerful part you play as your own ultimate source of prosperity
o How your underlying emotions and feelings affect your ability to be successful
o How your childhood, life experience, and social conditioning have constructed
desires and beliefs
o How to recognize the emotional and mental bonds that stop abundant living from
being part of your life
o How to magnetize what you really want, and to make it happen quickly
o How to empower new ideas that will lead you to a more fulfilling and harmonious
life
Power Manifestation Course Topics Cover:
Honing your life's purpose and passion based on your Internal Guidance System, a proven step-by-step method
Beliefs that are holding you back from getting what you want in life
Apply the principals of Flow vs. Force for more ease and abundance
Achieving greater spiritual awareness and connection with the Divine
Zen DeBrücke is a public speaker, business leader and inspirational
teacher who has coached hundreds of business leaders and individuals to
success in every arena. As the visionary founder of Pranaology, Zen is
blessed with the opportunity to build on 15 years of research and study
on the subject of manifestation.
Before founding Pranaology and SmartSoul, Zen spent six years as Chief
Executive Officer of The NetKitchen, an Internet strategy consulting
firm. Zen used her expertise to develop lucrative and innovative
Internet campaigns and properties for Fortune 500 companies like Applied
Materials, IBM, BP and Electronic Arts.

Sponsored by YLEM: Artists Using Science and Technology
Sylvia Pengilly, dancer, composer and video artist, demonstrates how
video and music can be combined to create visual and audio splendor.
She will show two works and do a real time demonstration of the
software used. Multimedia artist Beverly Reiser and video artist Mark
McGothian will show their interactive piece created for Burning Man
called "The Black Hole of Desire."
And, there's more (to be announced)!
PROGRAM
Sylvia Pengilly is a composer of both electronic and acoustic music
who is fascinated by the correlation between what the ear hears and
what the eye sees. She was willingly seduced into the world of video
and computer graphics. Her current works amplify the theme of each
work by introducing it to the audience through the eye as well as
through the ear.
"Patterns of Organic Energy," her music/video work using these
techniques, will demonstrate how video and music can be combined
within a common framework. She will give a realtime demonstration of
the software used. This piece was included in the recent Computer
Music Journal special edition on music and video.
"The Outer Edge of Possibility," which represents her first
collaboration with composer Michael Rhoades will also be presented.
This work is based visually upon a simple silhouette of the human body
which is subjected to amazing transformations that are only possible
through the miracle of software.
She is professor emeritus of the College of Music at Loyola
University, New Orleans. Mathematics and physics, including Chaos
Theory, Quantum Mechanics, and Superstrings, frequently provide the
basis for her works.
---------
Beverly Reiser has been doing multimedia for twenty years, and had an
early piece shown at Centre Pompidou in Paris. For 14 years she was
president of YLEM, and helped design its first web site in 1984-5.
YLEM's prize-winning site was one of the first fine arts sites on the
web. From the Black Rock Foundation she and video artist Mark
McGothian received a commission this year, enabling them to branch out
in their multimedia work. In "The Black Hole of Desire," she and Mark
created a booth at Burning Man where people recorded their desires. It
had a playback feature where people could hear what had been recorded.
This has been combined with sound they collected to make an intriguing
DVD.

Alaskan Rainforest Kayak Journey
Ecology Center 2530 San Pablo Ave, near Dwight Way Berkeley
One of the great surviving ecosystems of the planet, a wilderness inhabited and utilized by many people, the rainforest of coastal Alaska presents a unique opportunity for us to redefine the human relationship to the biosphere.
Kayaking in Southeast Alaska has become the life passion of speaker Dan Kiely. In the past seven summers, he has paddled over 400 days (mostly solo) through many areas of the islands and mainland coast that encompass the Tongass rainforest. From the world-renowned Glacier Bay to the rarely visited shores of Kuiu Island and the outer coast of Chichagof Island, he has wandered and photographed the waters, landscapes, and animals of the Alaska coast.
Come enjoy a journey through this extraordinary land and seascape and find inspiration to expand one's kayaking adventures. Also learn about one of America's great rainforests and efforts to preserve this wilderness area.

The true story of John Peterson, third generation Northern Illinois farmer. Using 50 years of richly textured footage, filmmaker Taggart Siegel weaves together Farmer John’s haunting and humorous hero’s journey of struggle, hippie days, vicious rumors and violence, the farming crisis of the 80s, death and resurrection. Through melding farming with free expression, Farmer John’s powerful story of transformation heralds a renewal of local agriculture in America.

# State of Fear - Amnesty International screening Thu Jan 19 8:00pm $5
Director: PAMELA YATES, Documentary. 2005. Peru/USA. 94 min. English/ Spanish, subtitled.
How can an open society balance demands for security with democracy?
"State of Fear" dramatizes the human and societal costs a democracy
faces when it embarks on a war against terror, a war potentially
without end, all too easily exploited by unscrupulous leaders seeking
personal political gain. The film follows events in Peru, yet it
serves as a cautionary tale for a nation like the United States.
Filmmakers Pamela Yates, Paco de On and Peter Kinoy masterfully blend
personal testimony, history and archival footage to tell the story of
escalating violence in the Andean nation and how fear of terrorism
was used to undermine the democracy, making Peru a virtual
dictatorship where official corruption replaced the rule of law.
Attacks by the Shining Path guerrillas provoked a military occupation
of the countryside. Military justice replaced civil authority,
widespread abuses by the Peruvian Army went unpunished, and the
terrorism continued to spread. Nearly 70,000 civilians eventually
died at the hands of the Shining Path and the Peruvian military.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 2005
Written and directed (in a manner of speaking) by George Lucas
Of the three most recently produced Star Wars films, "Sith" is the least objectionable. Its storyline is not completely ridiculous, and the darkness of the subject matter restores some measure of balance to the series, which is equal parts saccharine and treacle. Beautifully designed and rendered, "Sith" is further hyperstimulus for a generation of borderline autistic Nintendo babies. However, no amount of hard work and aesthetic vision on the part of the film's many designers and artisans can possibly compensate for cliched dialog and truly Gawd-awful performances. Lucas has an uncanny knack for bringing out the absolute worst an actor can muster. Respected actors Samuel L. Jackson and Ewan McGregor appear visibly embarrassed to deliver such cheesy lines, while lesser talents such as Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen can do little but founder as a result of Lucas's astonishing lack of direction. At a worldwide gross box office take of $800 million, "Sith" is the most profitable B-movie ever made.

# Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi Hosts Art Opening
of Andy Diaz Hope’sWork
“I hope to draw our attention to the threads with which our
very social fabric is bound and fashioned.”
On Friday, January 20, 2005, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the monthly
Third Friday’s Art Reception in his City Hall office, Room 282. This
month’s featured artist is Andy Diaz Hope.
Andy Diaz Hope, a Bay Area native, questions the stereotypes and cliches
circulated by popular media. By refabricating the form in which we sustain
our self-image and protect ourselves from our image as an enemy, Diaz Hope
wants to draw our attention to the threads with which our very social
fabric is bound and fashioned. Often funny and always telling, his work
permits candid interactions to deconstruct our stereotypes, prejudices and
preconceived notions, be they conscious or not.
Diaz Hope has shown his work in the MoMA permanent collection, the Museum
of Contemporary Art Denver, the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia,
and the London Crafts Counsil, as well as in numerous shows throughout the
United States, England, Australia and Japan. You can view his work online
at www.andydiazhope.com.

# Dirty South- An All Stat DJ Line up at the Cell Space Jan 20th
2006-01-20 10:00 PM
Join us at the Cell Space January 20th for an outrageous line up of DJ's donating their talents to raise money and awareness for the antiracist, grassroots movement taking root in New Orleans! Many of us just returned on the Oxygen Collective bus from an intensive three week trip doing relief work in New Orleans. We will share some of our images and stories from our experience, and will donate 100% of the proceeds to the dedicated people at the Common Ground Collective working for justice on the Gulf Coast.
Common Ground Collective formed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, to provide immediate aid and long-term solidarity along the Gulf Coast. Common Ground is a local, community-run organization offering mutual aid and support to New Orleans communities that have been historically neglected and underserved. Common Ground's teams of volunteers include: medical and health providers, aid workers, community organizers, legal representatives and people from all over with broad skills from all walks of life.
100% of the proceeds will go directly to the needs of residents in New Orleans. The funds will fuel the need for environmental clean up, providing safety equipment for volunteers and residents alike. Money will also go to a school that's starting up in one of the most impoverished areas in New Orleans, an area still void of any school for children. Common Ground oversees these, and other projects, all directly benefiting the residents. Volunteers leave their jobs, their homes, and comfort for weeks on end, anything that we can offer to assist in their safety is a great service. Offering $20 to the cause is a small way to effect positive change in an area in great need.
10PM - 4AM / @ CELLspace SF 2050 Bryant St. / $20+ Donation at the door

# Jan 20-22 LifeAsDance: A Movement Playshop for Dancers, Yogis, Movers, and Shakers
http://www.evite.com/lifeasdanceevite@gmail.com/jan20to22
Harbin Hot Springs Mountain Lodge, Jan 20-22
Creative Combinations - blending traditional forms
Playshops will include
* Healing Through Movement with Laura Schifferli. A mix of massage,
dance, and yoga solo/partners/group.
* AcroYoga: Acrobatic yoga (see acroyoga.org) with Rana the Tofu Honey Pie
* Water Improv: Contact improv in a warm pool (pending private pool
arrangements with Harbin)
* Movement and Authenticity Games (tentative)
... and a couple other playful classes, which will leave time for the
pools, hiking, a movie at night etc.
Intended for experienced movers, with a regular (but not necessarily advanced)
dance, yoga, or movement practice.
The cost: $155/ weekend for food, indoor camping, and facilities, but not
including instruction. For that, participants will make donations
there to the teachers for the classes you attend, and managed
centrally/anonymously with one check if you wish ($10-25 per class
suggested). Everyone also helps with one meal. A couple of spots
are available for those not able to afford much in
donations: you can help by coordinating a meal (shopping & bringing
the food up), setup/strike or otherwise volunteering (contact us for deets).
Limited to the first 20 people to sign up.
Fee allows use of all the harbin facilities (hot warm and cold pools,
hiking, movies, yoga, kirtan ... see harbin.org) from noon on Friday
until 9pm on Sunday. Indoor camping will be relatively spacious: for
the 20 of us we'll have two private rooms, three large tents set up,
at least one van, and two large floor areas in the lodge, so everyone
should be able to sleep early/late/when they want and be relatively
undisturbed, and we won't be cramped in like sardines although a
cuddle pile may form :-)
Carpooling? Yes. We'll also send a packing list and directions the
week of the event.
To register:
-- email the form below to lifeasdance gmail com, AND

"Designers have a hand in creating virtually every product, artifact, and message we encounter in the world around us, yet collectively we are only beginning to see ourselves as agents of change.

# 1/21: Anniversary of Roe v. Wade: Stand for Reproductive Justice 11AM
On the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
Stand for Reproductive Justice – Women’s Rights Are
Human Rights!
Rightwing fundamentalists have announced their second
annual “Walk for Life” anti-abortion march in San
Francisco on the anniversary of the historic Roe v.
Wade decision. Repressive government policies have
emboldened our opponents – their platform is
anti-choice, anti-birth control, anti-equality, and
anti-gay-marriage. Pro-choice advocates are
organizing to remind the anti-abortionists that San
Francisco is a reproductive rights town. Join
community activists – from the Women’s Choice Clinic
to the Raging Grannies – and help line the anti-choice
march route in a grassroots, multi-issue reaffirmation
of a woman’s right to control her body. On Saturday,
January 21, assemble at 11:00am, Pier #1, Embarcadero
and Market Streets in San Francisco.
We must join together to show the rightwing that we
will not tolerate bigotry and hatred in our area. Roe
v. Wade is turning 33, let's make sure it gets to 34!
If you are interested in participating in the
organizing, contact the Bay Area Coalition for Our
Reproductive Rights at 415-864-1278, email

# 1/21 Commemorate Roe with Candlelight Vigil and "Faith in Choice: Reclaiming the Moral Highground"
Please Join Us Saturday, January 21st for
"Faith in Choice: Reclaiming the Moral Highground"
PPGG's community event to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade
We will gather to remember the lives lost before Roe v. Wade, acknowledge the women today who cannot access safe and affordable reproductive health services because of restrictive policies in their state, and to share our intentions and hope for the future - when reproductive freedom is recognized as a fundamental human right for all. Clergy members will share how their faith brought them to be pro-choice and discuss clergy involvement in the reproductive freedom movement pre-Roe and today.
5:00 pm - Gather at Dolores Park, by the stairs
5:30 pm - Candlelight vigil and meditative walk step-off to Congregation Sha'ar Zahav
6:00 pm - Progam at Congregation Sha'ar Zahav, 290 Dolores Street
7:00 pm - Closing
IN CASE OF RAIN: Please join us at Congregation Sh'ar Zahav at 6:00.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!
Co-Sponsors: Access/Women's Health Rights Coalition, Healthcare Access for All, San Francisco NOW, Social Justice Ministries of the First Unitarian Church of San Francisco.
**PLEASE NOTE: On the same day, the 2nd annual "Walk for Life" will be in town. As you may recall, last year PPGG took the lead in organizing a response. This year, we hope to counter their presence with a positive event that will help push our movement forward and allow us to reclaim the moral highground and not amplify the message of our anti-choice visitors. Allowing women to control their own bodies and futures is the only moral choice and we are proud that San Francisco and the Bay Area know this to be true. Please join us.

"God And Caesar in America: An Essay on Religion and Politics," by
former United States Senator Gary Hart, is an analysis of this

will follow. Gary Hart will sign copies of his new book afterword.
Former United States Senator Gary Hart (D-Colorado) is the author of
thirteen books and a leading expert on national security and American
foreign policy. Hart is also a lawyer and teacher, and holds a
doctorate degree from Oxford and graduate law and divinity degrees
from Yale. Hart represented the state of Colorado in the United States

WEGMANS CRUELTY
Presented by Christine Morrissey
Animal Rights Advocates: 925-487-4419
www.eastbayanimaladvocates.org
Tonight's film, "California Egg Industry Documentary," is the world premier of East Bay Animal Advocates' new documentary, an expose of California's inhumane egg industry. Each year over 19 million egg-laying hens are raised in concentrated confinement to produce table eggs for California consumers. According to the California Poultry Workgroup, close to 100 percent of egg-layers are confined to battery cages. For more information, visit www.cal-eggs.com.
and
“Wegman's Cruelty” is a half hour documentary produced by a small investigative team from the organization Compassionate Consumers. Organization members contacted Wegmans Food Markets to try to hold some meaningful dialogue about the conditions at Wegmans Egg Farm, and were then misled and dismissed by Wegmans' representatives. The team set out to capture actual footage inside the farm and create a film based on their experience. For more information, visit http://www.wegmanscruelty.com
Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Coffee House.
The films are FREE but $5 donations are accepted.

JOHN PERKINS, a current New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle bestselling author who was covertly recruited by the U.S. National Security Agency to be an economic hit man, writes that they are “highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder.” Perkins did this work for a decade, until 9/11/2001 convinced him to fully expose the corporate and government activities often thought of as “globalization.”
ANURADHA MITTAL, formerly co-director of Food First, is the founder & director of The Oakland Institute as well as the author of: “America Needs Human Rights: Fighting Hunger and Poverty in the Richest Nation on Earth” and, with Kevin Danaher, “10 Reasons to Abolish the World Bank and the IMF.”

The mission of Hamilton Family Center is to end homelessness for families that we serve by providing a safe, stable, temporary home environment that promotes the dignity of each family. We offer a comprehensive array of support services, including case management, child care, counseling, housing referral, advocacy and financial assistance.
http://www.hamiltonfamilycenter.org
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of
God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you. You were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within
you. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own
light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others. ---marianne williamson

# Painful Deception Wed Feb 1, 2006 7:00 pm
The Films are FREE but $5 donations are accepted
PAINFUL DECEPTION Presented by Gypsy Gypsy
This film is a video version of Eric Hufschmid's book, Painful
Questions. It provides an in-depth analysis of the Twin Towers'
sctructure based on a scientific approach as well as careful
observation and simple common sense. Eric was the first person to
bring the mysterious collapse of Building 7 to the attention of the
public. Building 7 was a 47-story building near the Twin Towers that
disintegrated into dust in 7 seconds a few hours after the Towers
fell. Eric points out that the same demolition crew was hired to
clean up the rubble of the World Trade Center and the rubble of the
Oklahoma City bombing -- another cover up and inside job. Eric takes
a very close look at the Pentagon crash and points out a number of
obvious facts that make the official story fall apart.

Overview
This 14th edition of the Digital Be-In combines its lineage of invention and cultural evolution marking the dawn of the digital age with the emerging green economy and sustainable culture movement. Producer Michael Gosney (whose Verbum magazine began the Digital Be-In during the late 1980s) developed the Paradox conferences on sustainable communities at Arcosanti, Arizona in 1997, 1999 and 2001 http://www.greencenturyinstitute.org/paradox.htm and formed the Green Century Institute in San Francisco in 2002. Planetwork, founded in San Francisco by Jim Fournier and Elizabeth Thompson in 1998, fosters the creative application of digital tools for positive global change through a series of conferences and monthly forums in major cities. The Green Century Institute and Planetwork are working with several San Francisco Bay Area groups that were involved in the seminal World Environment Day week in San Francisco June 5–11, 2005 http://www.wed2005.org in the development of this combination daytime symposium, evening rally/celebration and late night dance party. As in the past, the Digital Be-In will reach beyond the physical event with a live netcast, information-intense website and new kinds of exposure and interaction via social networks and blogs. The theme “Planet Code” implies our writing (and re-writing where necessary) the “codes” that define our place within and interaction with the natural environment, and calls upon the high technology community we have encouraged and celebrated over the years to empower the sustainability movement with bold, forward-thinking initiatives.
Sponsorship
Digital Be-In 14 will offer a variety of opportunities for sponsors to reach opinion leaders, press and a receptive public interested in SOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE CULTURE. All presentations and content associated with the EARTH DAY BE-IN will emphasize new projects and initiatives: actions! We encourage sponsors to use the Be-In as a launching platform for products and campaigns that are making a difference. Outreach via marketing messages, the Be-In website, associated organization websites, social networks and public relations will be designed to inform and connect the public with sustainable culture resources. 2006 is a vital year for shifting the tide of awareness and action toward sustainability and April 22, 2006 promises to be a pivotal date. Please contact Michael Gosney or Justin Weiner from GCI for details on sponsorship programs.

# FYI the US runs a school of assasins / torture at Ft. Benning, GA
Previously called School Of the Americas (SOA),
now called Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC).
Congress demanded SOA be closed down. So they simply renamed it.
SOA used to be in Panama, until Manuel Noriega said it had to go.
Noriega was an important drug smuggling ally for the CIA.
When he broke with the CIA because he was not happy about the US school of torture in Panama, his days were numbered.
Two other notable men who the CIA made alliances with:
Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden.
The CIA makes allies of people it can use to torture and murder it's enemies.
The CIA was arming, training and using Osama Bin Laden to fight the USSR in Afghanistan.
Before Sept 11, 2001, the CIA was negotiating an oil pipeline through Afghanistan to be built by Haliburton, paid for by Enron, to supply Unocal 76. Those negotiations broke down. That was plan A.
Plan B was flying our own airplanes into our own buildings and blaming them.
SEE: Operation Northwoods (1962) Plan B has been on the table for 43 years.
Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, et al are part of Project for a new American Century (PNAC) who wrote: (a year before 911)
Without a Pearl Harbor style invasion the American people will not accept
the empirical mobilization necessary to seize middle eastern oil.
CIA initiated Saddam Hussein by having him commit an assasination in Iraq to prove himself.
Once installed to power by CIA, Saddam did oversee the torture and execution of an entire generation Iraqis.
Every Iraqi student or activist who had political aspirations was killed by Saddam who was a CIA operative.

The Great Owl Invasion
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheNeuschwabenlandTimes/message/10037
obvious and blatant freemasonic symbols on the dollar bill, what precisely that hidden microscopic owl is doing there.
Neither will we ever be certain whether those plans for the National Mall surrounding the White House, the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capital proposed by the McMillan Commission in the same year that the Bohemian Owl worshipers legally acquired their grove in California, had anything to do with why there appears to be a Giant Owl surrounding the Capitol Building.
As an American citizen I am bound by no law executed by Bush Coup.
I shall not follow any fruadulent advice from John Ashcroft or Mr Torture: Alberto Gonzales.
I am bound by no Judgement by John Roberts or any other criminal installed by BushHitler.
Wake UP America, the current organized crime family Hi-Jacking Washington, DC
is similar (in fact connected) to the NAZI hijacking of a highly civilized Germany.
Patriot Act is illegal. No law or provision of Patriot act is legally binding.
Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution of the United States of America
is Null and Void - Marburry V. Madison, 1803.
Any officer who attempts to enforce an illegal law such as patriot act is unlawful and may be ignored and/ or arrested.

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

"You are a member of government. And one of that majority which has doomed my country to destruction. You've begun to burn our towns and murder our people. Look upon you hands. They are stained with the blood of your relations. You and I were long friends.You are now my enemy and I am yours.".........................Benjamin Franklin 7-5-1775
