BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION

23.09.2001 09:22

Having researched the economics of 'globalization' for many
years, I have figured out parts of the corporate world agenda, that I hitherto would have never dreamed possible.
The possibility that the terrorism was planed and orchestrated by the secretive highest level within the
corporate network passed through my mind shortly after the
tragedy. (The top of the corporate pyramid controls U.S.
intelligence, military,world economy, and the U.S.
president, G. Bush.)
If the attack was done by terrorists out of hatred of
corporate America, or if it was done by the same corporate
people who dreampt up the whole 'globalization' fraud, the
solution is the same.
It is only by the painstaking education of our fellow
citizens, that can enable the U.S. democracy to elect a
legitimate president, who would end the 'free trade'
corporate agenda by proper enforcement of anti-trust
legislation.
The indescriminate attack of Afganistan will only serve to
further the corporate 'globalization' agenda, in a good
number of ways.
Weather or not working people are able to do the work necessary to understand the 'globalization' fraud is
a very perplexing question. World corporate media has much
of the world heavily propagandised, and that constitues a huge obstacle.
'Globalization' is essentially a lie, so this is a large
advantage for us ordinary people.
I pray we can succeed.

Unalienable Rights?

23.09.2001 11:27

The following headline and partial article appeared in the Los Angeles Times, final edition, Saturday Morning, March 31, 1962, front page:

U.S. TO PROPOSE END OF NATIONAL ARMIES
Plan for U.N. Peace Force Ready to Be Submitted at Geneva
GENEVA (UPI) - The United States will submit to the Geneva disarmament conference a plan calling for elimination of national armies and their replacement by a United Nations force, reliable sources said.


Think what happened in America on September 11, 2001. Terrorists took down both towers of the World Trade Center. People were killed from 62 nations. Over 5,400 still missing, not counting the known dead. A wing of the Pentagon, 5 floors high, was destroyed. One plane crashed and did not reach its destination - the White House or Camp David. Another Boston flight was canceled. It now appears it was to be high-jacked also.

Now notice what the American Standard, June 1962, headlined:

Walker Charges Defense Dept. Creating "Police-State" Army
Dallas -

In a speech recently, former General Edwin A. Walker charged that the Kennedy Administration has issued orders for "counter-insurgency" training in the nation's military forces. … this "clearly implies and substantiates the administration's intent to prepare troops within EVERY STATE for putting down opposition in any area to administration policy - social, political or economic."
Walker reminded his listeners that, "This is the pattern and the necessity in the development of a police state. This is preparing the Army for its job under the United Nations program #7277, which provides - States would retain ONLY those forces required for the purpose of maintaining internal order."

As further evidence that the Kennedy Administration sees the need for "counter-insurgent" troops to suppress any opposition to its own policies, Walker said: "Some may imagine that 'counter-insurgency' is intended to put down communism itself as an internal threat. But never forget that the Kennedy Administration has repeatedly declared that communism is NOT an internal threat."

Therefore, counter-insurgency must be against something else. "The use of the term 'resistance groups' shows WHAT it is against. Resistance forces are always native to a country and try to preserve independence. In our country, this means native [U.S. citizens] who are opposed to communism [or world government]."

IF THIS WERE NOT ENOUGH, look what appeared in the July 1958, U.S. News & World Report:

WHAT BUSINESS CAN EXPECT

Martial Law - Rationing - Price, Material Controls
Businessmen who worry about "stand-by control" for the next war are in for a shock. "Control" isn't the word for what IS NOW PLANNED.

If bombs drop [or terrorists blow up buildings] on U.S. cities, a DICTATORSHIP WILL TAKE OVER.

Martial law, NATION-WIDE, will be invoked. Government will give orders, force people and businesses to OBEY. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the U.S.

A military dictatorship, swift and complete, will take hold at the very moment of any big atomic attack [or terrorist attack] on American cities. This is the word from top official sources in Washington…The old idea of "standby controls," which has been worrying some businessmen, no longer has any place in official planning.

Instead, the President will simply take control - of businesses, banks, goods, prices, wages, just about EVERYTHING - and worry about legal authority later.
Martial law will be clamped on the entire country. This will be the President's first official act after bombs [or terrorism] start falling.

With that act, the President will assume almost unlimited war powers. Dictatorship from Washington, or from the President's nearby hideaway, will be backed BY MILITARY FORCES.

At once, the nation will go on a war footing. RULES ALREADY WRITTEN. Businesses will be blanketed by regulations, already written and ready for issue. Raw materials will be rationed. Tools, trucks, supplies will be subject to seizure. Banks will be given orders by Government. Money will be rationed. Depositors, if necessary, will be limited in how much they can draw out of the bank. … Prices and wages will be frozen. Rents will be controlled. Goods will be rationed. Censorship will be imposed at once. Credit will be controlled. Trains, trucking lines, airlines and ships will be permitted to carry only priority passengers or freight. Factories will be told what to produce. Industry will be ordered to expand some facilities, abandon others. Electric power will be shifted from non-essential uses. Farmers, under martial law, may see their livestock, land and crops commandeered for military use. Doctors and hospitals might have to give up medical supplies, and take orders from Government.

In bombed-out areas, martial law will bring strict discipline, enforced by GUNPOINT by whatever armed forces are available. The Federal Civil Defense Act will come into full effect, empowering authorities to requisition property, including private homes and automobiles. In these areas, people [private citizens] will be subject to draft for whatever LABOR is needed.

SUSPENSION OF RIGHTS. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES WILL DISAPPEAR FOR THE TIME BEING.

Habeas corpus, which protects a citizen against imprisonment without due process of law, will be suspended. SO WILL FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Spreading rumors might get a person into trouble.

Outside of disaster areas, the plan is to apply martial law more subtly. Civilian agencies, rather than military authorities, will carry out the usual controls, INCLUDING rationing, restrictions on travel, draft of manpower and ANTI-HOARDING orders.

No President of the past had the sweeping authority NOW PLANNED under an atomic emergency. Abraham Lincoln imposed martial law during the Civil War, but only on certain sections of the country.

The Constitution of the United States uses the term Unalienable Rights. WHY? Unalienable means that which CANNOT be separated, surrendered or taken away. Inalienable means that which SHOULD not be separated, surrendered or taken away. Our Constitution says that our rights CANNOT - not should not - be taken away, even under martial law. That will be ignored.

Truly the Beast of Revelation 13 is rising and will probably conquer America in the next war when we surrender our "unalienable rights."

Martial Law


Stop talking bollocks

Your use of CAPITALS indicates that you are getting VERY EXCITED. (I dread to think what you're doing whilst typing) I bet you own a big gun too, eh?

To Jez

I bet YOU get EXITED when the UN COMES to TAKE your BIG GUN off YOU, at GUNPOINT, and throw you in JAIL without TRIAL for writing shite on INDYMEDIA.

What part of MARTIAL LAW don't you UNDERSTAND?

Black helicopters over NYC!! Hear THE TRUTH!

I know Jez, and believe me, the things that make him excited would make you gouge your eyes out in an attempt to stop the horror from imprinting on your retinas.

But I'd rather suffer his depravity than more of the conspiracy theorising choking up IMC at the moment. Yes things are fucked up and prospects look bleak, but that's no excuse to suspend critical faculties. The simplest explanations are usually the best, so why go into unsubstatiated paranoia to look for answers?

Blaming secret elites/illuminati/jewish bankers/8 foot reptiles may give you the tingle of profane knowledge, but it's a distraction from the systems and power structures that do have a significant impact on all our lives.

Check Z Net for some more thoughtful analysis.

Terrorism today

26.09.2001 20:27

New York City, September 11, 2001, billowing clouds of dust and smoke, appalling deaths, screams of terror echoing in the madness. It reminds me of another Tuesday, September 11, 1973, in Chile, my country, when our Government Palace (La Moneda), was bombed and razed, bringing forth the mayhem, human suffering and destruction that swept my country for many years, whose effects aren't over yet... This is an american coup d'etat and I can hear rising from the ruins of the twin towers the cries and moans foreboding the future of our civilization. May God have mercy on us...
