  • Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US
    Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US The moral cesspool of National Politics Introduction Since leaving a start-up company as a result of the dot-com bust, I have engaged in, among other things, reviewing the literature to try to understand the controversy regarding various, potentially linked, events, including: the murders of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy; Iran-Contra; the PROMIS affair; the October surprise; domestic call-boy—corruption rings; the Panama invasion, and the two Iraq wars. Note: Most people who read the following will find it extremely disturbing, since it shakes our confidence in our basic institutions and leaders. However, I believe that the material below is accurate. It represents a distillation of many books and web references which, though written independently by credible researchers, corroborate each other. Although I have footnoted many of the statements, I chose not to be even more comprehensive to make the document shorter and more readable. It is not enough to just document excesses, though. I plan another white paper to deal with correcting those excesses.1 Initially, two key remedies appear to be: Almost complete transparency in government, and declassification of almost everything over, say, 10 years old. Setting up independent review panels of any federal operations that have the capacity to commit, or allow, significant crimes. Decriminalization of drug possession and distribution. Drug money is funding almost all the illicit activities, and maintaining a web of corruption that is so pervasive that the entire government is dysfunctional2. 1 The revelations in this document are less than a few percent of that convincingly presented in the literature.

And many Montanans like the idea of a major independent or third party candidate in the 1996 presidential race, according to the latest Montana Poll. For this edition of the Montana Poll, 411 adult Montanans were polled statewide September 21-26. The poll is conducted by The University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Choosing from a crowded field of 11 Republican presidential candidates at the time of the poll, Montanans overall endorsed Bob Dole most often (28 percent), with 34 percent undecided, said Susan Selig Wallwork, director of the Montana Poll.

    PART IV EMPIRE AND DECLINE chapter26 THE RECORD little guy like me should never have had to write this book. A By the time the Kean Commission’s final report was released, a crucial prin- ciple of democratic government called “separation of powers” had quietly vanished. Nobody within the government seemed willing or able to defy the exec- utive’s mythical narrative of 9/11, even while the executive used the implications of that Big Lie to justify its every move. Massive war appropriations, the Patriot Acts, intelligence “reform,” Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, prison torture abroad, domestic roundups and detentions of Arabs and South Asians, and a hun- dred tangentially related usurpations of the powers Constitutionally reserved for the legislature and the judiciary — all were driven through by appeals to the offi- cial story of 9/11. It seems there are no independent voices of authority remaining outside the Empire’s control to challenge, temper or place limits on Imperial crimes and ambitions. There is only yet another Patrician seeking to replace Caesar on the throne and wear the Imperial purple. The Kean commission’s mandate The Kean Commission’s mandate was laid out in Public Law 107-306, signed by President Bush on November 27, 2002. SEC. 602. PURPOSES. The purposes of the Commission are to — (1) examine and report upon the facts and causes relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, occurring at the World Trade Center in New York, New York, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon in Virginia; (2) ascertain,
