Well, the insider trading, everybody knows that there [was] news about insider trading. I think altogether fifteen billion dollars. And, there was speculation about going down, of United Airlines and American Airlines; both airlines which were attacked by 9 11 and other things. So, normally you could find out because I think the American- the CIA together with the financial department, the Treasury, they developed this ? watching the markets to find out speculation about going on terrorist attacks. So, they could immediately find out if there were something going on- and they could find out. And, in this case, they- 9 11- the NSA people which are the guys watching via satellites the whole of the transactions going on, on Earth, they said, they told the people to destroy the tapes. They had tapes about this interior trading and they said they had to destroy them so they are not any longer proof.
Inspired by a coded message written in the late 1860s, a retired Indiana State University professor has spent decades searching for information about Lincoln's assassination. For Ray Neff, that odyssey culminated in the publication last year of his book, "Dark Union." Neff's most sensational claim: that Booth escaped his pursuers and lived almost 20 more years after killing Lincoln. The dead man purported by authorities to be Booth was someone else, the book claims.
Booth, Neff maintains, fled overseas to India and assumed the identity of John Byron Wilkes, a man who lived in Terre Haute and whose personal information Booth supposedly purchased. Among the evidence cited by the book is a copy of Wilkes' will that names friends and relatives of Booth as beneficiaries.
"Dark Union," written with co-author Leonard Guttridge, suggests that conspirators -- who originally plotted to kidnap Lincoln -- extended beyond Confederates embittered by the Civil War. It also included northerners enriching themselves through a food-for-cotton trade scheme, the authors claim. And, they add, it included radicals from Lincoln's Republican Party opposed to the president's hints of a lenient reconstruction of the South.
A Colorado "Christian patriot" musician was ordered released from a county jail after being held for over two months while a mental evaluation was performed.
Carl Klang, 50, of Boulder, Colo., pleaded guilty to one count of property destruction at a hearing Friday in Sheridan Circuit Court.
Officials said extra law enforcement was on hand at the Friday trial after the jail and Sheridan County attorney's office received hundreds of calls . . . asking why he had been kept in jail so long.
Klang was arrested Dec. 4 for disorderly conduct/provoking a fight. That charge was later dismissed, but Klang was ordered held after he tore up his jail uniform . . .
Klang was evaluated by staff members from the Wyoming State Hospital in Evanston, who found he was capable . . .
Sheridan Circuit Court Magistrate Hardy Tate said in court it was "unfortunate" Klang was held in jail so long.
Among Klang's recorded songs are: "It's Dangerous to be Right (When the Government is Wrong)," "I Want to be an Extremist," "Seventeen Little Children (Waco)," "I'm the Resister," and "Wheresoever Eagles Gather (the Ballad of Randy Weaver)."

ISLAMABAD, Feb 15: The founder of country's nuclear programme, Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, has suffered a heart attack, sources in the KRL hospital told Dawn on Sunday.
In view of his poor cardiac condition, a heart specialist along with a cardiac machine was secretly sent to his residence from the KRL hospital last Sunday, the sources said.
They said Dr Khan had been suffering from pain in his left hand since being questioned by an intelligence agency for his alleged involvement in transferring nuclear technology.
ISLAMABAD : Family members of Pakistan 's detained nuclear scientists and other officials of the Kahuta-based Khan Research Laboratories have alleged that the Musharraf regime is out to murder A Q Khan , the father of Pakistan 's nuclear bomb, with the backing of the US .
See Kahn Job about how this guy helped transfer nuke tech to N. Korea and others.
Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, sat on the board of a company which three years ago sold two light water nuclear reactors to North Korea - a country he now regards as part of the "axis of evil" and which has been targeted for regime change by Washington because of its efforts to build nuclear weapons.
A Gannett company, First Coast News 2004 02 16, reported what they uncovered concerning the mercury-based preservative thimerasol:
The Centers for Disease Control published a study last fall repudiating any possible link between thimerosal and developmental problems like autism in children. However, First Coast News has obtained non-published documents that show the CDC DID have data supporting such a link-- but kept it from the public.
Documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, detail the transcript of a meeting held in June of 2000 between members of the CDC, the FDA, and representatives from the vaccine industry.
The group discusses the results of a February 2000 study that finds a significant association between exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines, and developmental issues like autism in children.
Some of the comments--
"There are just a host of neurodevelopmental data that would suggest we've got a serious problem."
"My gut feeling? It worries me. I don't want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what's going on."
WASHINGTON -- Another showdown between the national commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the White House may be in the offing, this time over whether all of the panel's 10 members or only some of them will be able to interview President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
The White House announced Friday evening that Bush had agreed to a request from former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, the commission's chairman, and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, the vice chairman, to meet in a closed-door session to discuss the 9/11 disaster. But it now appears the White House is trying to limit how many commissioners will meet with the president during the private session.
A Winchester man who survived a 2001 anthrax-by-mail attack is asking the federal government for $12 million to compensate for the disruption to his life.
David R. Hose worked for the U.S. Department of State in Sterling as a supervisor for the incoming diplomatic pouch and mail unit. He had been employed there since 1995.
In October 2001, an envelope laced with anthrax spores and addressed to U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., arrived in Hose’s facility. [...] But researchers have concluded that the weapons-grade, Ames-strain anthrax spores were probably made at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., or at another laboratory working in the U.S. Defense Department’s germ warfare program, Hose’s claim states.
"The Defense Department had inadequate security measures in place to prevent such equipment from ending up in the hands of would-be bioterrorists," Hose’s claim states. "As the anthrax investigation continues, the evidence could ultimately establish that such negligence by the Defense Department was also a key ... cause of Mr. Hose’s injuries from inhalation anthrax."
California Democrat Henry Waxman is calling on Attorney General John Ashcroft to reveal who cleared members of Osama bin Laden’s family and other Saudi citizens to leave the country immediately following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
[The 9/11] commissioners were unaware of the crucial information given in an even more revealing phone call, made by another heroic flight attendant on the same plane, Madeline (Amy) Sweeney. They were unaware because their chief of staff, Philip Zelikow, chooses which evidence and witnesses to bring to their attention. Mr. Zelikow, as a former adviser to the pre-9/11 Bush administration, has a blatant conflict.
"My wife?s call was the first specific information the airline and the government got that day," said Mike Sweeney, the widowed husband of Amy Sweeney, who went face to face with the hijackers on Flight 11. She gave seat locations and physical descriptions of the hijackers, which allowed officials to identify them as Middle Eastern men?by name?even before the first crash. She gave officials key clues to the fact that this was not a traditional hijacking. And she gave the first and only eyewitness account of a bomb on board.
"How do you know it?s a bomb?" asked her phone contact.
"Because the hijackers showed me a bomb," Sweeney said, describing its yellow and red wires.
On November 7, 2001, BBC Television's Newsnight and the Guardian of London reported that the Bush administration thwarted investigations of Dr. A.Q. Khan, known as the "father" of Pakistan's atomic bomb. This week, Khan confessed to selling atomic secrets to Libya, North Korea, and Iran.
The Bush Administration has expressed shock at disclosures that Pakistan, our ally in the war on terror, has been running a nuclear secrets bazaar. In fact, according to the British news teams' sources within US intelligence agencies, shortly after President Bush's inauguration, his National Security Agency (NSA) effectively stymied the probe of Khan Research Laboratories, the Pakistani agency in charge of the bomb project. CIA and other agents told BBC they could not investigate the spread of “Islamic Bombs” through Pakistan because funding appeared to originate in Saudi Arabia.
"After I joined they gave me a barbed wire chain to wear on my leg for two hours a day and a whip to hit my buttocks with."

"Blessed be pain. Loved be pain. Glorified be pain"
Josemarie Escriva, Founder, Opus Dei
Whether or not an alleged member of Opus Dei, like Justice Antonin Scalia, enjoys a touch of the lash on his prodigious derriere from time to time, is certainly no business of ours. However, the affiliation of a Justice on the highest court in the land to an organization that, for all appearances, is nothing more than a right-wing cult should arouse not only suspicion, but an investigation.
Opus Dei is a clandestine Catholic organization based in Chicago, Ill. In size, it is insignificant, a mere 85,000 members (only 3,000 members in the US) compared to the one billion Catholics worldwide. But, its membership boasts of some of the most powerful and wealthy people in the country. The group catapulted to national attention when spymaster, Robert Hanson, was arrested and convicted in what turned out to be the greatest act of treachery in the history of the FBI.
