Columbine files destroyed by court
Denver Post September 26, 2003: A special room under strict lock-and-key, filled with evidence from two settled Columbine cases, is being shut down and a federal magistrate has ordered some of the materials - including depositions of the killers' parents - destroyed.
The room, in the federal courthouse in downtown Denver, was set aside in 2002 to "house particular documents and materials deemed to be worthy of special handling and security," according to court documents. . . .
"Who are they protecting?" asked Rich Petrone, the stepfather of slain student Daniel Rohrbough. "Are they protecting the murderers' families? There should be a public outcry." . . .
Barry Arrington, attorney for the five families who sued the Harris and Klebold families, said he'll file an appeal of the order. He has until Oct. 7. . . .
 The two cases involved in the order are Mark Allen Taylor vs. Solvay Pharmaceuticals Inc.; and Brian Rohrbough and four other victims' families vs. the parents of Harris and Klebold.
In the Rohrbough case, plantiffs took the depositions of Susan Klebold on July 29; Thomas Klebold, July 30; Wayne Harris, July 31 and Aug. 1; and Katherine Harris, Aug. 1.
The Harrisses have never answered questions publicly . . .
Destroying transcripts of depositions is an unusual step, . . .
On Aug. 26, documents and materials in the evidence room that had belonged to the Harris family were removed by their attorneys. . . .
Evidence submitted by the Jefferson County School District will be destroyed by the court, with the district's permission, according to the order.
Representatives of the county and the sheriff's office retrieved material from the evidence room. TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: Check out the interview of Columbine student Mark Taylor, shot more than a dozen times, on the September 29 Jeff Rense show. Taylor says court proceedings have revealed that law enforcement was preparing for a school shooting more than two hours before the killing spree at Columbine began. This is the kind of evidence being destroyed.
Note that the defendant in the case filed by Mark Taylor, Solvay pharmaceuticals, is the manufacturer of Luvox, the psych drug Eric Harris was strung out on.

Schwarzenegger, Milken, Lay: Enron scamsters
Greg Palast, American reporter for the BBC and the Guardian, reports: [Schwarzenegger] has yet to deny that on May 17, 2001, at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles, he had consensual political intercourse with Enron chieftain Kenneth Lay. Also frolicking with Arnold and Ken was convicted stock swindler Mike Milken.
Now, thirty-four pages of internal Enron memoranda have just come through this reporter's fax machine tell all about the tryst . . . Schwarzenegger knowingly joined the hush-hush encounter as part of a campaign to sabotage a Davis-Bustamante plan to make Enron and other power pirates then ravaging California pay back the $9 billion in illicit profits they carried off. . . .
The biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed last year under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the "Unfair Business Practices Act." This litigation, heading to trial now in Los Angeles, would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers. . . .
Who's the plaintiff taking on the bad guys? Cruz Bustamante, Lieutenant Governor and reluctant leading candidate against Schwarzenegger. . . .
One month after Cruz brings suit, Enron's Lay calls an emergency secret meeting in L.A. of his political buck-buddies, including Arnold. Their plan, to undercut Davis (according to Enron memos) and "solve" the energy crisis -- that is, make the Bustamante legal threat go away. . . .
While Bustamante's kicking Enron butt in court, the Davis Administration is simultaneously demanding that George Bush's energy regulators order the $9 billion refund. Don't hold your breath: Bush's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is headed by a guy proposed by … Ken Lay. . . .
The evidence against the electricity barons is rock solid: fraudulent reporting of sales transactions, megawatt "laundering," fake power delivery scheduling and straight out conspiracy (including meetings in hotel rooms).
So the Bush commissioners cook up a terrific scheme: charge the companies with conspiracy but offer them, behind closed doors, deals in which they have to pay only two cents on each dollar they filched.
Problem: the slap-on-the-wrist refunds won't sail if the Governor of California won't play along. TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: Palast's story gives Davis a little too much credit in thinking he would seriously push for money from Enron. After all, as the group who obtained the documents points out, fromer Enron CEO/Chairman Ken "Kenny Boy" Lay gave Davis more than $100,000 in contributions.
 Arnold's meeting with Michael Milken, Richard Riordan and Ken Lay brings to mine his rendezvous with Warren Buffett and Lord Jacob Rothschild back in 2002.
In other news, Schwarzenegger's buddy George Butler tells the New York Times it would just be too hard right now to go through the film shot for Pumping Iron so as to prove that Arnold's praise of Hitler was really more milquetoast than it sounds, honest.
And Drudge reports Arnold's Kennedy wife is halfway through a nervous breakdown.

Arnold: 'I ADMIRED HITLER' - ABC News confirms

| Posted by Total Information at 11:18 PM
Propaganda watch: 'Threat Matrix'
Excerpted from TV Tome's episode guide for Threat Matrix, the new Homeland Security propaganda series on ABC: 1. Pilot (18-Sep-2003)
A prisoner who is requesting asylum in the United States tells the government that there is a shipping container in which a group of terrorists is hiding, and that it is on its way to the U.S.
Frankie is sent to Jarkarta to question the one man who might know if the government has been told the truth, and so, to find out exactly where the container is headed. Frankie gets the job done, but before she can get out of the country, she gets wounded and then caught.
With the "Threat Matrix" team, from their headquarters (the "Vault") at Fort Meade, John Kilmer (the head of the "Threat Matrix" team *and* Frankie's ex-husband) works to find the answers they need to be able to neutralize the terrorist threat, even though doing that means that he has to leave Frankie to whatever fate awaits her until his primary job is done.
2. Veteran's Day (25-Sep-2003)
When a homicide detective becomes the victim of a terrorist car bomb, the Homeland Security team fears that a similar event is going to take place at a Veteran's Day parade that is planned for Washington, DC.
Their investigation unearths the fact that a military munitions officer has been selling C-4 to terrorists and that the terrorists have been using money supplied by a Utah drug dealer to make their purchases.
The team puts all of the pieces together in time to stop the terrorists from bombing the parade.
The moral of the episode is that: "We are, ironically, our own worst enemies. Terrorizing ourselves ... Fighting a war of dependency ... that, unfortunately, makes veterans of us all."
3. Doctor Germ (02-Oct-2003 pc: 103)
The Threat Matrix team searches for the infamous Dr. Germ, an Iraqi woman with a deadly knowledge of poison gas and a grudge against the United States Marines.
4. Natural Borne Killers (09-Oct-2003)
The Threat Matrix team track the carriers of the Ebola virus that was brought into Texas by a puppy.
5. In Plane Sight (pc: 105 )
The Threat Matrix squad investigates the seamy side of the West African coast as they struggle to track down a stolen cargo plane filled with nuclear waste.
6. Alpha-126
Considered an enemy combatant, a French-Algerian man is detained at Guantanamo Bay. Because Frankie refuses to allow him to have his medication while she is interrogating him, the man suffers a heart attack and dies.
Whether it was because he was unwilling or unable, the Algerian national never gave Frankie any of the information she was trying to get before he died, and she ends up in a courtroom, pleading "not guilty" to the charge of murder.
7. Under The Gun
A sniper is loose in the city, and the Threat matrix team is trying to profile and locate the killer before he strikes again.
8. Patriot Acts (pc: 102)
A series of university bombings have Kilmer and his team racing the
clock to trace the bomber before he strikes again. TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: That this series is ripped-from-the-headlines propaganda glorifying the 'national security' police state is apparent. Interestingly enough, one of the staff writers on the series, John Shiban, was one of the X-Files writer/producers who wrote the pilot episode of spin-off series Lone Gunmen involving a passenger airliner remote-controlled into the World Trade Center. TIA has always been more of the opinion that the LG writing staff was just rather perceptive, not that they were engaging shadowy revelation-of-the-method type hijinks. Shiban's presence on Threat Matrix would seem to undermine this point of view. But, on the other hand, maybe this Shiban wrote something subversive in the "Patriot Acts" episode, which although the second regular episode produced has been pushed back in the airing order.

German intel 'Nazis' infiltrate as NYTimes whitewashes:
GROWING 9/11 SKEPTICISM IN GERMANY
International Herald-Tribune October 1 runs a piece credited to Richard Bernstein of the New York Times trying to whitewash growing 9/11 skepticism in Germany and Europe. NY Times and WashPost jointly own IHT, a (the?) leading daily English-language newspaper on the European continent:Most distressing. . . "There's a group of people in every country who will believe any nonsense," a senior German government official said, dismissing the popularity of the theories here as nothing unique. But some analysts say there is something about both Germany and Sept. 11 that does make the Germans especially vulnerable to the conspiracy claims. . . .
A prevailing explanation for the popularity of conspiracy theories is that they give psychological comfort to believers. Der Spiegel quotes the American political scientist Michael Barkun as saying that conspiracy theories allow people to "understand everything perfectly" because they disclose that "all the evil in the world can be attributed to a single cause." .
Some people contend that Germany is prone to theories that attribute great evil to somebody else because it gives a sort of exoneration for its Nazi past. . . . Note nothing in the article responds to any of the facts of the case addressed by the German authors publishing on 9/11. Typical New York Times. Even the German govt official quoted And NYTimes has yet to even run this containment piece itself. It is not on the nytimes.com website.
Meanwhile, reports Global Free Press:Bizarre Turnout at a public 911Skeptic Panel in Berlin on Monday. While almost 800 visitors listened to the popular analysis of guest author Matthias Broeckers ("..Secrets of 911"), director Gerhard Wisnewski ("File 9/11 unsolved"/ WDR) or former Minister Andreas von Buelow (supporter of "Remote Controle Possibility"), the crowd realised after a while, that one of the visitors had been right wing extremist Horst Mahler.
After the event in- and outside the University of Berlin almost turned into a riot (left wings hit Mahler during a break in his face and yelled "Nazis out!"), german police came and later stopped the event.
The left-wing scene in Berlin thinks, that Horst Mahler's "visit" was part of a planned sabotage, probably even orchestrated by German Intelligence. . . .
Reason of this sabotage: To distract from the event and accuse 911Skeptics of anti-semitism and being "conspiracy nuts".
The independent left-wing media criticised the organisators of the Berlin event with harsh words:
German Indymedia.de: "Why was it allowed to let Mahler into this event in the first place? Why was the focus on Flight93, Global Hawk and the Phantom Plane of the Pentagon only? Besides the 'neo-Nazi' brouhaha, it is very interesting that the inquiry at the bug German conference seems to have been rather circumscribed.
Back to the Nazis -- check London's Telegraph from July 16 2002:One in seven of Germany's top neo-Nazis is a secret service agent, the government has admitted in an attempt to sustain faltering efforts to ban a far-Right political party.
Government lawyers have offered the information in the hope that it will save agents from being identified in court. . . .

More on cover-up in Air Force psych death
More on the apparent murder of Col. Philip M. Shue . It seems the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations pressured Shue's widow to cremate her husband's body. This according to a recent interview The Power Hour.
The widow, Lt. Col. Tracy Shue said that she was unaware at the time that her husband had been mutilated. The Air Force then asked the Navy to conduct a "psychological autopsy" on Shue. Lt. Col. Shue also detailed some of the crime-scene evidence contamination in the interview.
See the latest update on MilitaryCorruption.com and an earlier entry on Libertythink, Air Force psych apparently 'suicided' for more.

Whatever
Reuters via NY Post:FEDS HAVE NEW THEORY ON ANTHRAX ATTACKS
September 30, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - The deadly 2001 U.S. anthrax attacks may have been carried out by someone who did not intend to cause any harm, a top FBI official said yesterday.
Of the possibility that a scientist wanted to alert people to the bioterrorism threat and it got out of control, FBI Assistant Director Michael Mason told a news conference, "That's a possible theory, but it's all conjecture."
"I suppose the leading thought might be the person didn't intend to cause harm, and did," Mason said.

Big media, defense industry whitewashing e-vote scams
From an interview transcribed by LibertyForum's 'ratcat' of BlackBoxVoting.Org's Bev Harris on the Alex Jones Infowars radio show: And I will tell you this. I have had six, count them, six investigative reporters for huge outlets, who have called me and privately told me that they have been lobbying to cover this story and they have been told by their management that they are not to cover it. And these are major organizations. . . .
And it’s so funny because they will say, “Please keep sending me the stuff and I wish I could break this because there is something to break. I could get a Pulitzer out of this.” Every time I put my proposal forward, it’s not getting taken up by the news [garbled]. I mean some of these are international publications. And it’s just amazing. People ask about the major TV investigative magazine shows, I can tell you that they have been in touch with me. I can also tell you that this has been killed. The story has been killed. And it’s not their producers that are killing it. It’s at the manager level. . . .
There was a conference that was held by teleconference in Houston. It was run by the Election Center and the voting machine manufacturers. It was supposed to be a secret. My publisher, David Allen from Black Box Voting, he runs Plan 9 Publishing, he managed to get into this. And it was actually quite funny because they had all this supposed security around their teleconference. But he actually dialed in and he signed in with his own name and no one asked him who he was. So he sat there and transcribed this meeting. And this meeting which was between, understand this is an insider meeting. What they were discussing, among other things, was: Can Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, defense contractors, you know, can they help us with our PR problem now like they helped get the HAVA Bill through? The HAVA Bill [Help America Vote Act] is the bill that requires that we buy all these new touch screen machines. Think about what they just said. This is insiders saying and admitting that the defense industry was behind getting this bill through.
Two more key revelations in an outrageous story that continues to break.

UK police open Calvi murder inquiry
The Guardian, 2003 September 30 Police in Britain today opened a murder inquiry into the death of Roberto Calvi, a Mafia-linked Italian banker whose body was found hanging beneath a London bridge in 1982.
[A] Milanese financier, who was nicknamed "God's banker" because of his connections to the Vatican, . . . the first inquest into Calvi's death returned a verdict of suicide . . .
Calvi was found dead in June 1982, hanging beneath Blackfriars Bridge. The discovery came just days after Banco Ambrosiano, a Vatican-based bank of which he was president, collapsed with debts of $1.3bn (£0.8bn). . . .
The Banco Ambrosiano had dealt not only with the Cosa Nostra, but also with the Vatican's financial arm, the Institute for the Works of Religion, and P2, a highly influential but illegal Masonic lodge of which Calvi was a member.
In October last year, Rome prosecutors, who had been investigating the case since 1998, announced the results of forensic tests on Calvi's exhumed remains. . . it was most likely that he had been strung up from underneath the bridge by his killers.
Calvi's pockets were weighed down with bricks and stone, suggesting a Masonic connection. Blackfriars, or Fratelli Neri, is the nickname for the Italian Freemasons, who swear that those who betray the brotherhood will be weighed down with stones and drowned. . . .

Ex-Chief FEMA goon feeds at Iraq pork trough
From The Hill, October 1, 2003 [Joe Allbaugh] was Bush’s chief of staff when Bush was governor of Texas, his campaign manager when he ran for president and his Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) director after that. . . .
A couple weeks before the beginning of the war, Allbaugh left his job at FEMA to get into the business of securing pricey Iraqi reconstruction contracts for high-flying clients.
Allbaugh’s new firm is called New Bridge Strategies. But it’s actually an outgrowth of Haley Barbour’s lobbying firm, Barbour Griffith & Rogers.
How do I know that? Well, they’re both located in the same office space downtown, which is usually a good sign. And if that’s not enough, Lanny Griffith (of Barbour Griffith & Rogers) is the chief operating officer of New Bridge Strategies and Ed Rogers (of Barbour Griffith & Rogers) is the vice president. . . .
The president’s right-hand man quits his government job just before the bombs start falling. He sets up shop in the offices of one of the biggest GOP lobbyists in town. And he starts selling his services to clients who want a piece of the big Iraqi reconstruction contracts pie — the pie his old bosses are in charge of slicing up. . . .
Say what you will about the administration’s post-war planning. Allbaugh’s seems to have been right on the mark. . . .

Temporary mirror of blackboxvoting.org files
In light of Diebold's bogus DMCA action which resulted in blackboxvoting.org losing all their files, TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS presents a temporary mirror of files found on the google cache. Note that Diebold filed their DMCA complaint on the ISP charging that a link on a public forum to supposedly copyrighted internal memos from a foreign Diebold-connected corporation put both the website and the ISP in violation of the DMCA. BlackBoxVoting had all their files locked by the ISP.
Blackboxvoting.com, a sister site, reports that the files from the .org will be back up soon.
This is presented as a resource in the meantime, particulary for any California reporters writing about vote fraud before the recall "election" next week.

UPDATE: Wesley Clark and CAPPS II -
Aggressively lobbied for surveillance pork
[Acxiom still features Clark prominently on its website.]
From Washington Post 2003 09 27:  Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark helped an Arkansas information company win a contract to assist development of an airline passenger screening system, one of the largest surveillance programs ever devised by the government.
Starting just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Clark sought out dozens of government and industry officials on behalf of Acxiom Corp., a data powerhouse that maintains names, addresses and a wide array of personal details about nearly every adult in the United States and their households, according to interviews and documents.
Clark, a Democrat who declared himself a presidential candidate 10 days ago, joined Acxiom's board of directors in December 2001. He earned $300,000 from Acxiom last year and was set to receive $150,000, plus potential commissions, this year, according to financial disclosure records. He owns several thousand shares of Acxiom stock worth more than $67,000. . .
he helped the company win a government contract worth an undisclosed amount to provide data and consulting services to the CAPPS II program. CAPPS II is the second-generation computer-assisted passenger screening system, a network that Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta once described as "the foundation" on which all other, far more public aviation security measures depend. . . .
Acxiom is a data integrator that manages billions of records for some of the nation's top banks, retailers and marketers. The company said it has "the largest collection of U.S. consumer and telephone data available in one source" -- data that is used in part to enhance others' records and authenticate identities.
After joining the company's board in December 2001, Clark quickly arranged for executives to talk with officials at FinCEN, a Treasury Department agency responsible for financial intelligence and initiatives to combat money-laundering.
Clark also has met on the company's behalf with officials at the Department of Justice, the CIA, the Department of Transportation, the Transportation Security Administration and Lockheed Martin Corp., the defense contractor that is heading up CAPPS II. . . .
In a meeting at the Department of Transportation in January 2002, according to participants, Clark described a system that would combine personal data from Acxiom with information about the reservations and seating records of every U.S. airline passenger.
SEP 18: Wesley Clark and the CAPPS II control grid
This past week has seen controversy erupt over the revelation that low-cost air carrier JetBlue turned over at the request of the Department of Defense 5 million passenger records to a contractor called Torch Systems. Torch crossreferenced that information with data from a company called Acxiom, as revealed in a memo [PDF] posted online at the site of a travel conference. The memo also indicated the JetBlue data was the dataset used for CAPPS II tests. CAPPS II is the system being designed by the Transportation Security Agency to color-code every air passenger as either "red," "yellow," or "green" through a series of elaborate background checks.
Acxiom and JetBlue are both named in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday. And customers in Utah have filed a class-action suit against JetBlue.
Fort Smith Times Record reported upon Presidential candidacy announcement of Gen. Wesley Clark that "Clark also serves on the boards of several companies, including Acxiom Corp., a data software company with headquarters in Little Rock."

UPDATE: More Clark False paradigm -
he praised neocon/Bushmob war machine
From XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU SEPT 25, 2003 16:05:37 ET XXXXX:Democratic presidential hopeful General Wesley Clark offered lavish praise for the Bush Administration and its key players in a speech to Republicans -- just two years ago . . .
During extended remarks delivered at the Pulaski County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Little Rock, Arkansas on May 11, 2001, General Clark declared: "And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there." 'Antiwar' candidate Clark is borderline insane warmongerer
Antiwar.com's Nebjosa Malic sums it up well:Incongruously, Clark supporters and mainstream media seem to purport that he is running on an "antiwar" ticket. Only a few, including the Christian Science Monitor, believe that Clark could outflank Bush in his belligerence.
It's as if everyone has forgotten Wesley Clark was the Bomber of Belgrade, the highest-ranking military official in a cabal that systematically violated international law, the NATO Charter (and with it the US Constitution, Article 6, Section 2) and committed the greatest crime under the Nuremburg principles: that against peace.
Even Michael Moore, the gut-punch filmmaker who challenged the NATO attack (after a fashion) in his Oscar-winning feature "Bowling for Columbine," recently gushed over Clark. What has possessed all these people to believe that the answer to George W. Bush's policy of Global Balkanization lies in a man whose hands are drenched in Balkans blood?
War Criminal
Clark's BBC profile notes the general's words at the beginning of NATO's 1999 aerial aggression:
"We're going to systematically and progressively attack, disrupt, degrade, devastate and ultimately, unless President Milosevic complies with the demands of the international community, we're going to destroy his forces and their facilities and support," he said.
Systematically, he said. Destroy, he said. Facilities and support, he said. The bombing was indeed systematic – bridges, schools, hospitals, passenger trains, buses, refugee columns, marketplaces, anything that could be hit except the Yugoslav military, which successfully camouflaged its systems and avoided most attacks. Apparently, for Clark and his coterie, the "facilities and support" of the Yugoslav military were the people and infrastructure of Serbia itself . . .
Russia tried to ensure NATO lived up to the bargain by sending troops to Kosovo. When the invading British troops encountered the Russians at the Pristina airport, Clark hysterically ordered British commander General Sir Michael Jackson to dislodge them by force. Jackson refused, reportedly saying, "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you."

Interesting that the first revelation, concerning Arnold revealing himself as a Hitler-loving megalomaniac, would be second fiddle in a story to his groping Hollywood women. One would think subsequent excerpts would be hard pressed to top this one.
