  2. Rogue Bush Backers prepare Super 9/11 False Flag Terror Attacks

    INN Preview Exclusive -June 2

    By Webster Griffin Tarpley

    Toronto, May 30 ? Intelligence patterns monitored over the US Memorial

    Day weekend now point conclusively to an imminent new round of ABC

    (atomic-bacteriological-chemical) terror attacks in the United States,

    Great Britain, Canada, and possibly other nations. These attacks could

    include nuclear detonations, radiological dirty bombs, poison gas and

    other chemical weapons, or biological agents, to be unleashed in such

    urban settings as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC,

    Vancouver BC, or London.

    The goal of these operations would be to

    produce a worldwide shock several orders of magnitude greater than the

    original 9-11, with a view to stopping the collapse of the Bush

    administration, the Wall Street-centered financial structures, and the

    US-UK strategic position generally. The attacks would be attributed by

    US/UK intelligence to controlled patsy terrorist groups who would be

    linked by the media to countries like Iran, Syria, Cuba, or North

    Korea.

    The organizers of the attacks would in reality be substantially

    the same secret command cell in the United States which set up the 9-11

    events and its associated networks, which have been able to continue in

    operation because of the abject failure of all 9-11 investigations to

    date to identify them....

    These forces are now in a desperate flight forward to escape from their current increasingly grim position.

    Their goal is now to establish a neocon fascist dictatorship in the United

    States, complete with martial law, special tribunals, press and media

    censorship, and the full pervasive apparatus of the modern police state.

    The chatter in Washington points to state-sponsored terrorism on a

    grand scale, with the desperados of the neocon faction calling the shots. The

    looming event will be an "own goal" of the Am ericans.

    In short, a coup d'etat is being prepared in the United States ? not a

    coup against the existing government, but rather for the purpose of

    disciplining and dragooning the entire political process for escalated

    foreign aggression, with the homeland secured by emergency rule. It

    goes without saying that those associated with such a coup are felons,

    war criminals, and traitors to their country.

    The leading edge of the propaganda campaign designed to establish the

    credibility of the coming ABC (atomic, bacteriological, chemical)

    terror wave is the May 26 press conference of Attorney General Ashcroft

    and FBI Director Robert Mueller to announce the coming summer "perfect

    storm" of terrorism. According to advance wire service reports, "U.S.

    officials have obtained new intelligence deemed highly credible

    indicating al-Qaeda or other terrorists are in the United States and

    preparing to launch a major attack this summer?.(AP, 25 May 2004)

    The following is a partial grid of evidence backing up this thesis.

    This overview cannot be exhaustive, but is sufficiently comprehensive to

    establish that a new pattern does indeed exist.

    Official Statements

    Since the beginning of April, there has been a qualitative escalation in

    the urgency and vehemence of the terror demagogy of the Bush

    administration. Bush and especially Cheney have made terror warning

    their stock in trade since September 11, 2001, but early April 2004

    stands out as a watershed, for reasons which are discussed below.

    A dramatic turning point on the way to the current emergency came on

    April 21, when Bush delivered two speeches which represented a palpable

    escalation of the tone of his usual demagogy of terrorism and fear. In

    the afternoon, he assured the Newspaper Association of America,

    composed of newspaper editors, that Iran "will be dealt with" if they

    pursue a nuclear development program. Bush went on to characterize the

    United States as "a battlefield in the war on terror."

    He was at pains to build up the stature of Al Qaeda, whose members he emphatically

    characterized as "smart?tough?and sophisticated." Because the terrorist

    are so formidable, Bush said that the United States "is a hard country

    to defend. Our intelligence is good. It's just never perfect, is the

    problem. We are disrupting some cells here in America. We're chasing

    people down. But it is ? we've got a big country."

    Later, Bush spoke to the same themes at a closed-door gathering at the

    White House. "...On Tuesday evening, Bush told Republican congressional

    leaders during a meeting at the White House that it was all but

    certain that terrorists would attempt a major attack on the United

    States before the election, according to a congressional aide. The

    leaders were struck by Bush's definitiveness and gravity, the aide

    said... (Washington Post, 4/22/04)"

    Vice President Cheney has been predicting imminent terrorist attacks on

    the US in many of his speeches since no later than May 20, 2002. On

    that Sunday, Cheney went on Fox News Sunday to announce that "In my

    opinion, the prospects of a future attack against the United States are

    almost certain." For Cheney, the question of a new terrorist assault on

    the US is "not a matter of if, but when."

    Several weeks later, an account published under the title "White House

    Nightmare Scenario" in US News and World Report reflected the thinking

    of top Bush officials about the relation between terrorism and the

    coming US presidential elections. According to this article, 'White

    House officials say they've got a "working premise" about terrorism and

    the presidential election: It's going to happen. "We assume," says a

    top administration official, "an attack will happen leading up to the

    election." And, he added, "it will happen here." There are two

    worst-case scenarios, the official says. The first posits an attack on

    Washington, possibly the Capitol, which was believed to be the target

    of the 9/11 jet that crashed in Pennsylvania. Theory 2: smaller but

    more frequent attacks in Washington and other major cities leading up

    to the election. To prepare, the administration has been holding secret

    antiterrorism drills to make sure top officials know what to do. "There

    was a sense," says one official involved in the drills, "of mass

    confusion on 9/11. Now we have a sense of order." Unclear is the

    political impact, though most Bushies think the nation would rally

    around the president. "I can tell you one thing," adds the official

    sternly, "we won't be like Spain," which tossed its government days

    after the Madrid train bombings. (US News and World Report, 17 May

    2004)

    National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice told Fox News on Sunday,

    April 19, that the government is bracing for possible terrorist attacks

    before November's Presidential election. Referencing last month's

    Madrid bombings, she said the opportunity for terrorists to influence

    the election may "be too good to pass up for them," and that "the

    terrorists might have learned, we hope, the wrong lesson from Spain."

    Condoleezza Rice's remarks came in the context of a lengthy US tour by

    Jose Maria Aznar, the defeated Spanish Prime Minister. Aznar was ousted

    in Spain's March 13 elections, partly because 90% of Spaniards rejected

    Aznar's subservience to Bush in joining the US invasion coalition in

    Iraq, and partly because Spanish voters were convinced that Aznar was

    lying about the March 11 terrorist attacks on commuter trains in the

    Madrid region. Aznar is counted as a neocon, but his party contains the

    remnants of Francisco Franco's falangist-fascist apparatus. Aznar is

    associated with thesis that the March 11 terrorist attacks decided the

    Spanish elections in favor of the PSOE (socialist) challenger,

    Zapatero. Aznar also claims that his own defeat was a victory for

    terrorism, since the newly elected Zapatero, acting in conformity with

    the will of the Spanish people, withdrew the Spanish troop contingent

    from Iraq as soon as he had taken office. The Spanish elections were

    viewed with hysteria by Washington elites, first because of the Spanish

    quitting coalition, but also because the terrorist attacks had failed

    to produce the expected effects. The Washington consensus had

    previously been that terrorism would infallibly stampede the voters of

    any country into voting for the incumbent, but this time it was the

    anti-Bush challenger who was the beneficiary. Aznar is known to have

    attempted to call off the Spanish vote and to continue to ruling by

    decree, but his efforts were blocked. Aznar's briefing would seem to

    have included the notion that if there is going to be pre-election

    terrorism, it needs to be of sufficient magnitude to provide a pretext

    for calling off all scheduled elections.

    On May 20, 2004 wires various wires reported that in the U.S. between

    May 16/17 and 19, maneuvers have been conducted by Homeland Security

    Apparatus, simulating terrorist attacks. On May 19, Yahoo reported a

    statement made by Lt. Gen. (ret) Patrick Hughes, who told AP in an

    interview, that while America has become better at predicting and

    safeguarding itself against attacks since Sept. 11, 2001, he fears that

    new terrorists "are being made every single day on the streets of the

    Middle East."

    Based on captured material, interviews, and other sources

    of information, Hughes said he believes al Qaeda wants to strike with

    something other than a conventional explosive device. It is reported

    that he worries about chemical and biological attacks, including a

    dirty b*mb.

    In mid-April, Aznar began issuing warnings of election-related

    terrorism. These warning were directed most immediately to Tony Blair

    and George Bush. Aznar said, "I told George Bush, and Tony Blair and

    other political leaders to be extremely careful before elections ...

    and to be very vigilant." But there are also major election campaigns

    going on in Canada (at the federal level) and in the 25 member states

    of the European Union for the European Parliament. (Once Noticias,

    Once-TV, 4/19/04. Mexico)

    During his visit to California, Aznar referred more than once about a

    terrorist attack taking place in the United States in June, 2004, which

    would lead to a Federal Emergency Management Agency takeover of the

    U.S. (International Herald Tribune, May 15, 16, 17, Los Angeles Times,

    May 15)

    On May 18, El Pais reported that Aznar had visited Los Angeles, and had

    then gone one to Washington, where he met Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.

    Present at the meeting, reports El Pais, were various Democratic and

    Republican Congressmen. Aznar was satisfied with the meeting. After the

    meeting, during an intervention at the Heritage Foundation, Rumsfeld

    spoke about how he dealt with the ex-Prime Minister by saying: "In

    Spain, in Madrid, the terrorists changed the result of the elections,

    without any doubt. In a premeditated way as consequence of the aim of

    the terrorists, the election results were changed. I had dinner with

    Prime Minister Aznar, and he is convinced that this is how it

    happened," said Rumsfeld. In California, Aznar told the press on Monday

    that Islamic terrorism has as objective, to influence elections in

    democratic countries.

    "If they could do it in Spain, why would they not intend to do it in another place?" he said and added, "It's important to understand that the terrorists will do everything to change the next elections in the USA.

    They will do everything possible to make the U.S.

    fail." He furthermore said in Los Angeles that he thought that the

    government of Zapatero sent an "inappropriate message to the terrorists

    by withdrawing the troops." Aznar on Tuesday had a 40-minute meeting

    with President Bush in the White House. Present at the meeting were:

    Vice President Dick Cheney; Condi Rice; Colin Powell; and White House

    Chief of Staff Andrew Card. The White House press spokesman identified

    the meeting as "private" -- "a meeting with a good friend of the

    President."

    An important sidelight on these statements by Aznar is the revelation

    that the group accused of carrying out the Madrid bombings was

    thoroughly penetrated by the Spanish police, who had at least

    informants within that group, according to El Mundo of May 6, 2004. El

    Mundo reported that among the people arrested for the Madrid bombing,

    were two police informants.

    This paper published an exclusive report given by Rafa Zhueri, who was among those arrested after the March 11 terror bombings. Zhueri revealed that he worked for years as police informant for a part of the Spanish Civil Guard (UCO Undidad Central

    Operativa). The article is headlined "I informed the Civil Guard that

    an Asturian offered me dynamite."

    The Kean-Hamilton Commission of 9-11 has not produced any serious

    insights into those events, but it has served as a propaganda soapbox

    for figures such as the former Navy Secretary and establishment

    operative John Lehman. In the recent New York sessions of the

    commission, Lehman stressed repeatedly that the overwhelming consensus

    among US officials is that new terror attacks are coming soon This

    view was shared by former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

    The former leader of the US Central Command, Gen. Tommy Franks, told

    the magazine Cigar Afficionado earlier this year that he considered it

    possible that the US would be under emergency rule in the coming months.

    Exercises and Incidents

    On May 11-12, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ran a

    large-scale exercise involving more than 2,500 federal employees, to

    determine how the federal government could continue operating in the

    face of a massive terrorist attack or other catastrophe. The government

    employees went to more than 100 secret sites, as part of a training

    exercise to prepare them to operate under catastrophic conditions. The

    exercise, called "Forward Challenge '04," was in preparation for over a

    year, according to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who spoke to

    reporters from an undisclosed location. (Washington Post, May 14)

    There is also an unprecedented pattern of local and regional

    preparations for emergency rule and continuity of government

    operations. For example, Florida television station Wftv.com reports

    May 19th under the title "Massive Mock Terror Drill Will Span Three

    Local Counties", that Daytona International Speedway (Florida) will be

    the second stage of a three-part mock terror drill across Central

    Florida. This is to be "one of the largest and longest mock terror

    drills ever conducted in Central Florida since 9/11." The wire says

    that "dozens of emergency agencies will take part from all across

    Central Florida, with more than 1000 responders and actors who will

    play victims of a simulated attack." The newswire nynewsdayd.com, under

    the title "City stages mock explosion in subway to test emergency

    protocols", was reporting May 16th that Lower Manhattan was swamped

    with 1,000 police, firefighters, and land emergency personnel

    responding to a simulated bombing involving scores of casualties.

    "The terror response drill, part of a joint city-federal plan to beef up

    response efforts, it is reported, came just two days before the 9/11

    commission was scheduled to be in New York to grill local officials

    about Gotham's emergency preparedness...." The drill "was the first

    large scale test of a new protocol aimed at clarifying the roles of

    firefighters and cops at disaster scenes." Yahoo furthermore reports on

    May 17th that in Idaho one of the largest disaster drills was staged

    over three days in southwest Idaho, conducted by the department of

    Homeland Security. The State of Georgia declared "state of emergency",

    because of a summit of the group of eight industrialized nations, which

    begins June 8.

    There is also an intensive pattern of incidents pointing in the

    direction of a terrorist attack on rail systems, on the Madrid model.

    This pattern includes suspicious activity in the Northeast rail

    corridor between Washington and Boston. A Philadelphia television

    station reported the discovery of a wireless transmitter carefully

    hidden in the gravel along the SEPTA (Southeast Pennsylvania Transit

    Authority) rail tracks in Philadelphia. An infrared sensor, painted

    black and buried in the trackside ballast, was found along the SEPTA

    tracks, which could be used as a triggering device. It sends a signal

    when something crosses its infrared beam. (WPVI News, Philadelphia, May

    20)

    On May 1, New York City police found five empty suitcases at Penn

    Station, New York FBI headquarters, and other sensitive points.

    According to The New York Post, the police feared that these empty

    suitcases represented "a test by terrorist bent on a Madrid-type

    attack" on commuter trains. (New York Post, May 2, 2004)

    There is also an uptick in the detected activities of foreign

    intelligence services, such as the Mossad, on US territory. According

    to a Florida newspaper, for the second time in two weeks Israelis in a

    moving van were detained near a U.S. nuclear facility, this time at the

    Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base near St. Marys, GA., near Sea Island,

    host of the G-8 Summit next month." (Jacksonville Times-Union, 21 May

    2004)

    On May 6, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that the new head

    of the British intelligence service MI-6 will be John Scarlett. The

    choice immediately caused protests from British political opposition

    leaders. Scarlett was the author and stubborn defender of the

    now-totally-discredited and artificially sexed-up "Iraqi WMD" report

    issued by the Blair government in support of the US-UK war drive. Dr.

    David Kelley lost his life in the scandal that developed around the

    manipulations in this report, but the role of the government was

    whitewashed in the inquiry conducted by Lord Hutton of the Law Lords.

    This appointment means that MI-6 will lack the leadership of a

    competent and independent professional who might act to prevent the

    coming terrorism, and will instead be under the domination of a

    political hack of dubious judgment and loyalty. (Wire services, May 6)

    In addition, the US government appears top have imposed an embargo on

    the sharing of critical anti-terror intelligence with European

    authorities. Whatever the intent, the net effect of this blackout is to

    screen certain activities in the US from scrutiny by the allies. In an

    article published May 6 the German economic paper Handelsblatt reported

    in reference to a similar article which appeared in the Wall Street

    Journal, that Spanish investigators, like many of their colleagues in

    Europe, are find it very difficult to obtain information from US

    circles which are engaged in the fight against terrorism.

    Mentioned is the case of Spanish Judge Balthazar Garzon who reportedly was unable to

    proceed with certain investigations on Al Qaeda after Sept 11th, like

    the case of Al Qaeda member Ramzi Binalshibh, who is imprisoned in an

    unknown location. The problem is compounded by the fact that the

    anti-terrorism fight in the US is being conducted by non-public

    military courts and military intelligence, neither of which, as the

    article claims, is sharing testimony and evidence with their European

    colleagues for further use. (Handelsblatt, May 6; Yahoo wires, May 7)

    Propaganda Buildup

    Lurid accounts of coming ABC terrorist attacks are proliferating in the

    US media. Whatever, the subjective intentions or motivations of the

    authors, these accounts objectively serve as propaganda preparation for

    terror attacks, specifically by introducing to the US ;public the alien

    notions of emergency rules, martial law, and the state of siege, all of

    which are favorite themes of neocon writers going back to the n@zi Carl

    Schmitt.

    A particularly fulsome example is the article by Michael Ignatieff

    which appeared on May 2, 2004 New York Times Magazine. Here are some

    excerpts:

    Consider the consequences of a second major attack on the mainland

    United States -- the detonation of a radiological or dirty b*mb,

    perhaps, or a low-yield nuclear device or a chemical strike in a

    subway. Any of these events could cause death, devastation and panic on

    a scale that would make 9/11 seem like a pale prelude. After such an

    attack, a pall of mourning, melancholy, anger and fear would hang over

    our public life for a generation.

    An attack of this sort is already in the realm of possibility. The

    recipes for making ultimate weapons are on the Internet, and the

    materiel required is available for the right price. Democracies live by

    free markets, but a free market in everything -- enriched uranium,

    ricin, 4nthr4x -- will mean the death of democracy. Armageddon is being

    privatized, and unless we shut down these markets, doomsday will be for

    sale. Sept. 11, for all its horror, was a conventional attack. We have

    the best of reasons to fear the fire next time.

    A democracy can allow its leaders one fatal mistake -- and that's what

    9/11 looks like to many observers -- but Americans will not forgive a

    second one. A succession of large-scale attacks would pull at the

    already-fragile tissue of trust that binds us to our leadership and

    destroy the trust we have in one another. Once the zones of devastation

    were cordoned off and the bodies buried, we might find ourselves, in

    short order, living in a national-security state on continuous alert,

    with sealed borders, constant identity checks and permanent detention

    camps for dissidents and aliens.

    Our constitutional rights might disappear from our courts, while torture might reappear in our interrogation cells. The worst of it is that government would not have

    to impose tyranny on a cowed populace. We would demand it for our own

    protection. And if the institutions of our democracy were unable to

    protect us from our enemies, we might go even further, taking the law

    into our own hands. We have a history of lynching in this country, and

    by the time fear and paranoia settled deep in our bones, we might

    repeat the worst episodes from our past, killing our former neighbors,

    our onetime friends. (emphasis added)

    The coming of martial law to the US in the wake of a new large-scale

    terror attack was also the theme of Ted Koppel's Nightline broadcast of

    April 7, 2004. Here Koppel was joined by former terror czar Richard

    Clarke and the Reagan White House chief of staff Kenneth Duberstein.

    The broadcast was titled "The Armageddon Plan", and featured questions

    of continuity in government (COG) after an attack that had decimated

    the US Congress.

    Koppel asked Duberstein: "Aren't we left for at least the foreseeable

    future with some sort of martial law anyway?"

    Duberstein replied: "You have to suspend rights."

    Koppel elaborated: "And during that period, then, and given the sense

    of panic that is inevitable under circumstances like this, the executive

    branch of government takes on extraordinary power doesn't it?"

    Clarke chimed in: "I think in any war where Washington were destroyed,

    inevitably, there would be a period of, for lack of a better term,

    something like martial law." Also taking part in this broadcast was

    James Mann of the Brookings Institution, author of the new book Rise of

    the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet, published this year by

    Viking. This work contains an extensive discussion of COG operations,

    which also figure in John Dean's new boom comparing the Bush

    administration to the Nixon regime. (Nightline, April 7, 2004)

    The Washington Post used the release of the latest set of Nixon

    administration tapes to issue what can only be interpreted as a signal

    piece, indicating to the witting that the operation is indeed on. This

    piece bore the headline" Haig Said Nixon Joked of Nuking Hill." The

    content involves a telephone conversation between Nixon's then Chief of

    Staff, Gen. Alexander Haig, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in

    March 1974 ? a few months before Nixon was forced out of office. "I was

    told to get the football," reports Haig to Kissinger, a reference to

    the codes used by the president to order nuclear attacks. In response

    to a question from Kissinger, Haig specifies that the request is for

    "His nuclear black bag. He is going to drop it on the Hill." The

    context is Nixon's growing fear of his own looming impeachment. The

    message is that a nuclear b*mb will detonate on the US Congress.

    Canadian newspapers, by contrast, used an all-purpose AP wire story

    with very different emphasis. The Montreal Gazette headline, for example,

    stressed another incident in which Nixon was too drunk to talk to UK

    Prime Minister Ted Heath. Here the headline was "Mr. Nixon can't come

    to the phone ? he's sozzled." This version contained no mention of

    nuking the Congress. The Toronto Star version of the AP wire had a

    headline about Nixon being drunk, and relegated the question of nuking

    the US Congress to the last paragraphs.

    The White House now possesses its own "Continuity of Government"

    Commission, a kind of Committee of Public Safety which appears to be

    developing plans for the imposition of authoritarian rule. This is a

    board made up of Establishment worthies, starting with former

    presidents Carter and Ford, and including such figures as Newt

    Gingrich, Lloyd Cutler, Alan Simpson, Kenneth Duberstein, Jamie

    Gorelick (also of the Kean-Hamilton Commission), Tom Foley, Leon

    Panetta, and Nicholas deB. Katzenbach. This is a bi-partisan body that

    would seem to be engaged in forming a consensus in the oligarchical

    elite circles in favor of the need for police state measures to

    preserve the system.

    The following are some of the main danger points that emerge from

    recent press accounts. It must however be stressed that large-scale attacks

    could of course occur anywhere and anytime.

    Memorial Day weekend ? opening of US World War II Memorial in

    Washington DC

    June 8: Group of 8 summit in Sea Island, Georgia

    NATO summit in Turkey

    Olympics in Athens

    July: Democratic National Convention in Boston

    August-September: Republican National Convention in New York City

    Why, and Why Now

    The reasons for the genocidal crimes now being prepared are to be found

    in the stunning reverses suffered by the Bush regime over the last

    several months. These can be identified as follows:

    During April, Iraqi resistance forces have initiated a national

    uprising against the invasion of their country. The failure of the vaunted US

    military machine before Fallujah and Najaf has ended the myth of US

    superpower invincibility, and set off uncontrollable processes of

    disintegration throughout the global system. The US is politically and

    militarily defeated, and the neocons are responsible.

    During May, the war crimes and atrocities carried out by US, UK and

    other coalition forces in Iraq have wrecked the moral credibility of

    the United States and its allies, making these aggressive powers into

    an object of absolute execration around the world.

    As a result, the ad hoc "Coalition of the Willing" assembled by the

    Bush regime has begun to disintegrate, with Spain, Honduras, El Salvador,

    Kazakhstan, and Norway either leaving Iraq or announcing their

    departure. The Netherlands are expected to defect within 4 to 5 weeks.

    Previously, anti-Bush political forces had been defeated in elections

    in Germany, South Korea, Spain, and most recently India. Governments

    subservient to Bush in Great Britain, Italy, Poland, Denmark, and other

    countries now face a grim electoral future, with further pullouts from

    Iraq as the likely result. The entire alliance system created by the US

    at the end of World War II is now a dead letter.

    In the case of Spain, US elites have been shocked by the failure of the

    March 11 terror attacks to accomplish their obvious goal of stampeding

    support to the right-wing, neo-falangist government of Jose Maria

    Aznar. Due to the intelligence and courage of the Spanish people, these

    attacks in effect backfired, as Aznar's blatant lying secured the

    election of the anti-Bush candidate, Zapatero. US elites have been

    profoundly concerned that the terror weapon, which they had regarded as

    a sure-fire means of coalescing support around an existing government,

    can also bring down that government. Their main conclusion seems to be

    that, for guaranteed success, the terrorism must be so colossal that

    the planned elections can simply be cancelled, as Aznar tried but

    failed to do.

    The three principal leaders of world aggression, Bush, Blair, and

    Sharon, are now engulfed by domestic political crises threatening them

    with ouster over the short term, with increased danger of prosecution

    and the wrecking of their political machines amidst recrimination for

    the Iraq and other disasters. Bush and his neocon handlers in

    particular face a rising tide of hatred in their own armed forces,

    especially in the US Army, which has born the brunt of their utopian

    aggressive policies. Bush's handlers are also worried that their man's

    reputation as an anti-terror leader, his only conceivable basis for

    asking to be returned to office, has been deeply tarnished by

    Condoleezza Rice's wretched performance and attendant revelations

    during the April-May hearings of the Kean-Hamilton Commission on 9-11.

    This has gone so far that only a new large-scale terror event could

    restore Bush's credentials, they reason.

    Concomitantly with these events, the New York-London financial system

    has begun to exhibit symptoms of severe instability leading to systemic

    crisis. The US is now running a merchandise trade deficit of over $500

    billion, and a federal budget deficit which actually approaches $750

    billion. This is a bankrupt state. Interest rates on US government

    securities have risen sharply since early April, and the resulting

    rising interest rates have raised fears of an explosion of the housing

    bubble of the past years.

    This is expressed by the de facto bankruptcy of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which represent trillions of dollars of mortgage-backed securities, and whose implosion would wreck US capital markets.

    The Federal Reserve now says that even the biggest banks may

    not be too big to fail. For the average person, the net impact of this

    new turbulence is readily seen in the sky-high price of gasoline,

    building materials, and related commodities. An integral feature of the

    post-coup regime now being planned would be to keep these bankrupt

    institutions alive with the help of government bailouts.

    Because of the manifest bankruptcy of the United States, the

    Anglo-American finance oligarchs fear the termination of the US dollar

    as a reserve currency. This would take the form of a dumping of the

    dollar as the currency in which the posted price of oil is expressed by

    Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia, and other OPEC states. The former

    Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammed has issued repeated calls for

    such a measure, and also urged Moslem countries to sell off their US

    Treasury securities, for financial as well as political reasons. The

    far stronger and more stable euro would be the beneficiary of these

    moves, and it is the euro which would prove to be far more attractive

    to most countries in a world divided into currency blocks.

    Finally, there are signs that the absurd myth propagated by the US

    government and the controlled corporate media about the events of 9-11

    is fraying. Although the Kean-Hamilton Commission has been on the whole

    a half-baked farce, it has unavoidably produced a number of facts as a

    by-product of its proceedings ? facts which have begun to undermine

    public belief in the Myth. David Ray Griffin's book The New Pearl

    Harbor has emerged as a runaway best-seller in the wake of similar

    books in France and Germany, and is now among the top ten on

    amazon.com. Calls have multiplied for a serious independent

    international truth commission on 9-11 to do the work the Kean-Hamilton

    cover-up has refused to address. A dismantling of the 9-11 myth would

    lead, in all probability, to the collapse of the US Republican Party

    and related institutions in the context of a general party

    re-alignment.

    Taken together, these developments would add up to the collapse of the

    entire US imperialist system. The protagonists of the coming terror are

    determined to disrupt these processes, imposing on the world a regime

    of unilateral US diktat and military intervention, with a domestic

    police state to make sure that no opposition emerges on the home front.

    What the Neocons Fear

    The neocons are also deeply concerned about their own personal fate.

    During their assent, this exceptionally ideological and close-knit

    faction has by its arrogance and incompetence made many enemies. During

    May, there have been repeated editorial calls for the firing of not

    just Rumsfeld, but also of Wolfowitz and the other neocons who have

    made such a mess of the Pentagon. The demand to oust Rumsfeld and

    Wolfowitz has also been raised by the veteran Republican Senators who

    exercise great authority within that body. According to press accounts,

    Senators Warner and McCain led a group of about a dozen senior GOP

    leaders who called on Bush to demand the sacking of Rumsfeld and

    Wolfowitz as a matter of urgent political expediency. Bush reportedly

    sat stony-faced and said nothing.

    Time magazine and the New York Times have both published reports that

    the investigation of Ahmed Chalabi and his Iraqi National Congress

    (INC) may, in fact, involve a hunt for someone in the White House or

    Pentagon who could be guilty of treason in passing top secret

    intelligence to Chalabi. The information that Chalabi and his

    intelligence chief Aras Karim Habib are alleged to have passed to the

    government of Iran "was highly classified, and known only to a few in

    the U.S. government,'' wrote Time's Romesh Ratnesar.

    "The probe will examine whether U.S. officials illegally transmitted state secrets to

    the INC. The investigation could ultimately reach high-ranking civilian

    officials at the Pentagon and the Defense Intelligence Agency who had

    dealings with Chalabi and his organization.'' Ratnesar cites "a senior

    U.S. official'' as his source. New York Times reporters David Johnston

    and Richard Oppel, Jr. also citing ``government officials,'' called the

    information `"so highly classified that federal investigators have

    intensified their inquiry to find out whether anyone in the American

    government gave the material to Mr. Chalabi.''

    They also cite ``intelligence officials'' saying that the probe, by the FBI, centers

    on the handful of U.S. officials with regular contact with Chalabi in

    Washington, and an even smaller number who had access to the

    intelligence. ``Most of them are at the Pentagon,'' they wrote;

    however, Chalabi himself, on `"Meet the Press'' on May 23, acknowledged

    three personal meetings with Vice President Cheney. Right-wing

    columnist Robert Novak, in a Washington Post op-ed on the Chalabi

    scandal, comments on a different angle within the Republican Party and

    the uniformed military:

    "Republican Senators, who do not yet want to be

    quoted by name, feel there must be some accountability for this massive

    blunder, as there must be for the prisoner abuse scandal. They want the

    President at least to consider'' firing Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and

    perhaps others of the neo-con gang. Rumsfeld the senior Republican

    Congressional leaders are backed in this, by high U.S. military brass.

    (Time, May 25, NY Times May 24, 2004)

    Richard Perle is the target of a huge civil suit growing out of his

    involvement in the fraudulent conveyances and embezzlement carried out

    by the neocon press baron and moneybags Lord Conrad Black, who appears

    to have taken money from Hollinger to help fund neocon think tanks like

    the American Enterprise Institute. Perle has worked closely with the

    purloining Lord in recent years, and might also face criminal charges

    in this case.

    There is also the special prosecutor investigating the leaking to

    Robert Novak of the fact that Valerie Plame, the wife of Bush critic

    Ambassador Joseph Wilson (who exposed the fraud of the Bush 2002 State

    of the Union charges that Iraq had sought uranium yellowcake in Niger)

    was working for the CIA. Prime suspects are Bush's political strategist

    Karl Rove, and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card. Revealing the

    identity of a CIA agent is a serious felony under federal law.

    Countervailing Tendencies?

    The situation of the party of terrorism inside the United States is

    uncertain. The political leaders who would be the beneficiaries of new

    terror attacks would be figures like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz,

    Ashcroft, Ridge, and the neocon Gestapo (as Colin Powell calls it) in

    general. The main agencies for their dictatorship would be FEMA

    (Federal Emergency Management Agency), Ridge's Department of Homeland

    Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The US military,

    especially the US Army, has now become profoundly disillusioned with

    the Bush-Cheney preventive war policy. They also resent being

    scapegoated for the Abu Graib atrocities, which were ordered by CIA,

    DIA, and Cheney's mercenary contractors. Some generals now realize that

    a successful terror coup, which would have the result of cementing the

    current gang in power for the foreseeable future ? without benefit of

    checks and balances ? would guarantee that US forces would be fed into

    meatgrinders far worse than Iraq.

    In addition to Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba, a post ?coup USD regime could not avoid collision with China and/or Russia. It remains to be seen whether this awareness will

    be enough to motivate the US military to do something to stop the coup

    which is now imminent. Similar considerations apply to the State

    Department, which has virtually no place in the post-coup world eagerly

    planned by the neocons.

    Sidney Blumenthal, a former advisor to the Clinton Administration, now

    with Salon.com, wrote a piece in the Guardian on how the U.S. officer

    corps has turned against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The

    piece, by, is headlined "America's Military Coup." Retired General

    William Odom, who was the head of the National Security Agency, the

    main US electronic spying center, and who is now at the Hudson

    Institute, is quoted saying: "It was never in our interest to go into

    Iraq. It is a diversion from the war on terrorism; the rationale for

    the Iraq war (finding WMD) is phony; the US army is overstretched and

    being driven into the ground; and the prospect of building a democracy

    is zero. In Iraqi politics legitimacy is going to be tied to expelling

    us. Wisdom in military affairs dictates withdrawal in this situation.

    We can't afford to fail, that's mindless. The issue is how we stop

    failing more. I am arguing a strategic decision." Another military

    figure told Blumenthal that Rumsfeld was "detested" and that "if

    there's a sentiment in the army it is: support our troops, impeach

    Rumsfeld." Blumenthal then references an essay by Lt.Col. Charles

    Dunlap, which had received a prize in 1992 from then General Colin

    Powell.

    The title of the piece was "The Origins of the American

    Military Coup of 2012," which was a cautionary tale of how the U.S.

    military launched a coup because of the failures of the government.

    (Guardian, May 13, 2004) Former CENTCOM commanders Zinni and Hoar have

    also published attacks on the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz policies. One account

    suggested that, given the degree of military hatred against the

    administration, any other country would have already witnessed a

    military coup.

    The US Congress ought to be particularly concerned, since one of the

    most plausible coup scenarios features the destruction of the US

    Capitol and its adjacent office buildings, exterminating large numbers

    of Senators, Congressmen, and staff. Incredibly, the Congress is

    conniving in its own liquidation through the bill ordering instant

    elections to replace deceased Congressmen which is now making its way

    in to law. The gullible lawmakers would seem to be signing their own

    death warrant, since if there is anything that would facilitate the

    erection of a police state, it is the lack of an intact and functioning

    legislative branch ? a fact illustrated all too well by the n@zi

    burning of the German Reichstag shortly after h1tler's seizure of

    power. But will the Congress act?

    France, Germany, and Russia are the countries with the best recent

    track record in opposing the illegal aggressions of the US government. They

    need to ponder the devastating challenge to their vital national

    interests that would be represented by the events now leading toward a

    coup d'etat in the United States. They must mobilize their forces,

    including their intelligence agencies, to expose, disrupt, and

    frustrate the preparations now being made. The same imperative applies

    to the other Europeans, China, India, the Arab and Islamic states, and

    the Latin Americans. None could hope to avoid costly confrontation with

    a post-coup US bandit regime. Enlightened self-interest ought to

    dictate that they take all possible measures to prevent the terror

    actions which are the only means the US neocons have of consolidating

    their power.

    But supporters of civilization around the world cannot wait for the

    actions of their government. There are concrete and highly effective

    measures they can and moist take at once to defend the survival of

    humanity. They should:

    What to Do?

    Make this analysis into the basis for a parliamentary question in your

    nation's parliament.

    Bring this analysis to alternative media outlets, or to major media

    wherever possible. In the US, bombard talk radio hosts with the demand

    that they speak out against this new state-sponsored terrorism.

    Inform trade union leaders. They should announce that their response to

    a state-sponsored terror coup in the US would be an open-ended general

    strike.

    Bring this analysis to the attention of lawyers, jurists, university

    students, civil liberties groups, humanitarians, and other persons of

    good will. Ask them to join in warning public opinion about what is

    being prepared.

  3. Rumsfeld did not describe the photos, but U.S. military officials told NBC News that the unreleased images showed U.S. soldiers severely beating an Iraqi prisoner nearly to death, having s*x with a female Iraqi female prisoner and ?acting inappropriately with a dead body.? The officials said there was also a videotape, apparently shot by U.S. personnel, showing guards raping young boys.

    go bush :rollin

    This is 1939 all over again, the only thing missing is gas chambers.

    What was that the jews said, "never again"?

  4. This makes for some interesting reading, follow the links as well...

    Bush Country received this

    information from one of our site visitors and because there were

    quite a few coincidences the writer pointed out about the

    subject, it seemed like a very interesting article for our

    readers.  Granted, by posting this information, we are not

    saying it is going to happen, but, based upon our knowledge of

    the Bible, it would not surprise us if it did.  Please do not

    read this article if talk about "End Time Events" disturbs you. 

    Thank you.

    First off, please keep my name off

    this article as I have found that the information I am revealing

    is so confidential, individuals who have leaked it have had

    their lives threatened. At any rate, here is the information I

    feel I have to reveal.

    While surfing on the internet back

    on March 22nd, I happened to come across a message board in

    which one poster revealed that they had an insider in NASA who

    had been providing them information.  In a nutshell he

    revealed that by mid to late May and going on through 2005, the

    earth's orbit is potentially going to go through the tail of

    several comets and afterward be inundated by meteors causing

    worldwide calamity from not only the vapor, but the impact/s.

    Apparently, the vapor associated

    with these comet tails are extremely dangerous and flammable.

    There is SO much that is occurring right now that although at

    first glance they seem normal, it is not so.  Several

    points the poster made was that the ISS was going to make an

    excuse to return to

    earth and that America's homeland security would be going to

    red (from its current orange) and eventually red.  He even

    said that something significant would be revealed on April 16th

    that would put things into motion. Remember, these comments were

    made on March 22nd. He even revealed that is seems even congress

    is preparing to go

    underground. At any rate, below are his comments and some of

    the current proof, and thought your site needed to get this

    information out to the public.  Here were the first

    comments he made on March 22nd:

    Here is a simple scenario for

    the those who want the overall expectation. Three or four

    separate "events" the forth undetermined because they may be an

    interaction of the third "event" making it as if four "events".

    All are separated with a time factor of months. The first is why

    this is taking NASA so long to make a definite calculation but

    an event will happen on April 16th that will confirm things.

    As incredible as it sounds, two comets are on a collision course

    near earth, so near in fact, that one is expected to knock the other into

    (most likely) the western hemisphere, but it is unknown whether

    that will be into the ocean or on a landmass.

    You may have heard recent month's reports about

    meteorites hitting here and there around the world.  That

    is because three clusters of objects are starting to enter the

    orbits of the inner planets. Trying to figure out this parallax

    billiard game coming at us is testing the limit of NASA's

    science and nerves.

    Again, his source informed him that April 16th will be the date

    that future events will be confirmed 

    The following day, March 23rd, an amateur astronomer in

    Australia discovered an inbound comet (named Bradfield

    after the astronomer who discovered it) and it was racing toward the sun.

    Funny thing is, during the time that this meteor is nearing the

    sun, two additional meteors will be visible to the n@ked eye as

    well, two of them even more visible than the famous Haley's

    comet. Strange I thought how there has been little, if any

    mention about these

    3 comets

    that would be visible in April and May?

    I must admit, I was skeptical with the post, but intrigued and

    committed myself to continue to visit the board until April

    16th, the date that was supposed to confirm things.  A few

    days before the 16th, the individual who started the thread

    posted that he was personally being "pinged" by NASA, and had

    threats sent to him telling him to stop sharing classified

    information. Then, his post stopped.

    April 16th came and after going

    to the board, there were numerous posters on the board in shock. 

    The Bradfield comet (discovered back on the 22nd by the amateur

    astronomer) had just

    come into view by NASA's SOHO telescope (positioned between

    the sun and the earth and can actually be viewed on the

    internet) Funny thing was though, the comet got to a certain

    point in its orbit, and transmissions of the image were no

    longer coming through (new images usually showed about every hour) 

    Additionally, the bulletin board with the 97 page thread was

    down, and stayed down for almost 10 hours.  When it came

    back up, the forum was down to 49 pages and that someone had

    removed all the information relating to the comets noted

    previously. 

    Anyway, when SOHO came back online (20

    hrs after being down) message board posters said that the images

    being posted were faked having been cut and pasted.  I

    could see what they meant when you looked at the images one

    after another but you can make the call.  You can see this

    by looking at the comet photo at 4am on the

    17th, then look at the next photo which was posted not 1 hr

    later like the normal interval, but 20 hrs

    later.  It did indeed look like someone tampered with

    the photos.  Lastly, the next photo which shows the comet

    having a T

    shape to it. It seemed it was not even the same

    comet that was initially on the video.  After all this

    occurred, I then remembered back that the poster said that on

    the 16th of April, things would be confirmed that would set

    things in motion.  I don't exactly know what occurred

    during those NASA SOHO down times, but something

    did, and was removed so no one could observe it.

    I want to post some additional

    comments that the thread owner posted so everyone will see why

    NASA and the U.S. government would want to keep this secret

    until the last possible minute.  Here are more of his

    comments made before April 16th:

    This is no easy task for so

    much could be stated. So much must be stated, but I wish you all

    to know as completely as possible- the great world-wide crisis

    which will result in such devastation that is very near, but not

    all peoples will die, or become totally incapacitated during the

    event.

    However the effect of this devastation will be of such magnitude

    that many will want to die. To describe the great,? beginning?

    event in the series of events which constitute what some have

    called the ?end days? events or ?the last days?.

    All this will occur simultaneously with the approach and

    fulfillment of those events which constitute the beginning of

    these events. Some will die of the? natural elements? caused by

    the fires, earthquakes, floods and other disasters which will

    come upon the Earth.

    A seeming cloud will descend to cover the whole Earth first,

    then a meteor will strike the Earth, first with its tail

    touching parts of the Earth, and then the full impact of the

    meteor will touch down in an area in the Western Hemisphere of

    the planet.

    This does not necessarily mean the U.S. First, my source

    mentioned the effect of the

    cloud of dust so great that it will block the sun and all the

    Earth will become as night. The dust from the meteor shower will

    bathe the Earth, leaving dirt everywhere and scorch the land and

    the skin, if you are outside. Most vegetation will die and those

    caught outside will die of burns. Animals will suffer.

    People who must go outside, which is not recommended, will need

    to take extreme precautions against the dust and chemicals

    released by the clouds of meteor debris. No one, it is

    recommended, should go outside, and all windows need to be

    covered so the dust does not enter your homes. This covering you

    will need will be for many purposes. This is only one reason. 

    Yes believe it or not duct tape will become a rare commodity.

    Homeland security is not as they tell you a moniker for

    terrorist security, so read between the lines. When they upgrade

    the status from elevated (yellow) to high (orange), know that

    there are only several days left. When they go from high

    (orange) to red, there may only be 6 hrs left before the comet

    tail covers the earth.

    What you can then expect will be most dangerous. There will be

    an extremely flammable nature of this dust cloud and its

    dangerous toxic gases. And yet this is only the beginning, for

    more dramatic events will occur. Due to the extreme impact of

    the meteor on our planet, there will be produced the greatest of

    all earthquakes imagined.

    One of the most powerful earth-shaking earthquake even will

    cause the entire top layer of our planet's surface to shake for

    up to 20 minutes in some areas. Earthquake estimated range from

    8.5 to 10 on the Richter scale in various areas, which are near

    or far from the impact site of the meteor.

    Another thing, you may have heard that recently probes to sample

    and analyze tails. Why? Deep concern they are extremely toxic,

    difficult to spectral identity at distance some argue a

    phosphate compound, ie; frozen solid particles of phosphorous

    from from boulder size in close to microns down near at end

    point.

    Not all tails are giving the same signatures, some are believed

    to be frozen solid ammonia. Deep concern is if what we don't see

    part of tail sweeps our atmosphere during close pass.

    Keep these markers in

    mind...

    1. ISS (International Space Station) will be in the news as

    experiencing untenable problems whereas it will be evacuated

    (masked), temporarily. This is a ?MARKER? on the time scale.

    2. The satellite system will be put on the same kind of alert

    system as a direct flare from the SUN.

    3. Those satellites cannot be turned to avoid damage are the GPS

    System

    Remember the teams say that there are three of these ?Events?

    separated by months, which will all claim the same attention.

    the third possibly triggering a fourth from the same event.

    Again, the comments above were

    made in late March.  Now, click

    here to see what was just announced several days ago and to

    see the second reason why I thought to myself "this person is on

    to something" 

    I will close with a collection

    of what I have been able to pull from the internet from several

    different boards that have also been hacked and information

    removed.  These sites, and what has been observed since

    early April leads me to believe that something is going on, that

    world leaders do not want us to know.  Here are just a few

    additional "Red Flags"

    that makes me wonder what is going on:

    • Breaking news that the entire Internet could be shut down very
      easily.

    • Storys that Russia would disconnect itself from the Internet
      during April.

    • Al Franken saying that Bush was more concerned with "meteors" than
      with terrorists.

    • Bush responding to Woodward, when Woodward asks how History will
      judge the Iraqi invasion. "We'll all be dead."

    • FEMA warning all Americans to stock the pantry and be ready to
      shelter in place.

    • Ted Koppel doing a show on 4/7/04 on martial law and The
      Armageddon Plan.

    • Letterman recently spoofing the "spotting of a new star".
    • Information found on the net that a rush was on to finish underground
      shelters for units of soldiers.

    • Information that says the

      ham intercept "Snowball" message
      could indeed be
      valid, and supercedes other operations in immediacy and
      importance (a whole other article could be written about this
      topic)

    • Increasing news surfacing about events in space, all in the last
      few months.

    • Increasing news about comets, but not on the front page, in
      fact, most people don't even know about these stupendous events
      taking place in our near space.

    • Numerous websites providing "confidential" information to the
      public being hacked, their mail list stolen and numerous mass
      mailings of viruses have taken place.

    • Webbots warning of "a flower" of explosions, comet related.
    • Numerous postings around the net about a "orangey yellow huge
      glowing orb" that appears for 10 minutes, then disappears into a
      blue star. My son saw the very same thing in February.

    • Pentagon paper warning of climate collapse.
    • British minister warning climate change is greater and more
      imminent threat than terrorists.

    • Canadian minister warning climate change is greater threat to
      millions in short term than terrorists.

    • Just one of many comets/asteroids planning a close fly by:

      "]http://www.rense.com/general50/sep29th2004.htm[/url]

    Just yesterday, another person

    posted comments on the board as they were familiar with what is

    going to happen along with comments about the original poster

    and why he was not more specific with the information he

    provided.  Anyway, here are his very scary comments:

    From mid May thru the 3rd week

    of June increased Satellite / ISS damage by meteors, tiny chunks of asteroids, and

    assorted "dust" and unknown particles from the 4 then five

    comets during this time in various positions around Earth's

    orbit. As the days drag on they are leaving behind from their

    tails or enough ionized gas to developed into a plasma like

    cloud that's going to be a real nuisance for satellite

    operations.

    This is the first "Event".

    Don't know exactly when but worldwide GPS is going to start to

    fail.

    First indications of that are that they are a diminishing on

    pinpoint accuracy of locations. My company's locating parameters

    have already been slowly widening 500 feet so far. Delta

    Airlines

    just announced a "computer glitch" that has grounded their

    planes but I suspect that they are starting to have problems

    with their GPS system.

    Anyway, in mid July the "pellets" arrive. These are the first and

    second "Events" alluded to by the earlier poster. You see he HAS to word things

    so that you read them between the lines so as not to go ?over

    the line? of divulging confidential information sworn not to,

    upon his retirement, which he really hasn't thus far.

    With my self though it's different, I didn't work right there,

    and never signed anything. But as I follow, and the events line

    up ever closer

    I had to say something about the basic out line.

    Everything down here of the surface will seem pretty much as

    usual, accept for those that keep themselves alert and informed,

    they will immediately recognize when the Big Show is unfolding a

    little earlier that others.

    The big Show starts with dramatic daylight comet show during mid

    July. On the heels of that is the fourth "event".

    A Large asteroid passes between our Moon and the Earth which

    causes havoc here even ?thought to be able to "peel" the upper

    stratosphere "Snowballing" Earth. What will that do? We don't

    know. No one does. But it's probably not going to be benign.

    That is where the "forth event" may occur "out of the "third

    "event.

    Obviously, several people know

    something is coming. The bible describes a very

    similar event in Revelation called the "trumpet judgments" and

    below are the first 4 of the 7 trumpet judgments:

    "The first angel sounded his

    trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it

    was hurled down upon the earth.  A third of the earth was

    burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the

    green grass was burned up.  The second angel sounded his

    trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was

    thrown into the sea.  A third of the sea turned into blood,

    a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of

    the ships were destroyed.  The third angel sounded his

    trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the

    sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water - the

    name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned

    bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become

    bitter.  The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third

    of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the

    stars, so that a third of them turned dark.  A third of the

    day was without light, and also a third of the night. Revelation

    8: 7-12

  5. COMET NEAT: Long-awaited Comet NEAT (C/2001 Q4) is approaching Earth and

    growing brighter. At closest approach on May 7th, it will be 0.32 AU (48

    million km) from our planet and about as bright as a 3rd magnitude star.

    The comet is now visible to the unaided eye--just barely--after sunset

    from dark-sky locations in the northern hemisphere. It looks like a fuzzy

    blob with a stubby tail. City dwellers are advised to use binoculars or a

    small telescope. Visit Spaceweather.com for pictures of the comet and a

    sky map.

    METEOR SHOWER: Today Earth is passing through a stream of dusty debris

    from Halley's Comet--the source of the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower.

    Unfortunately, tonight's full Moon will outshine the display, reducing it

    to near invisibility. Try listening, instead, using real-time links to

    meteor radars on Spaceweather.com.

  6. Doh, sorry I didn't see the title. Alot of merc's these days have non felted rub rails that need to have felt applied. To accomplish this the door panels need to be removed. I'd avoid the shops that aren't aware of this. Keep in mind, than no matter what brand of film is applied that it wont last much longer than 5 years, I don't care what anyone else says.

    If the film out lasts your cars warranty, it has done it's job.

  7. I got up feeling so down

    I got off being sold out

    I've kept the movie rolling

    But the story's getting old now

    I just looked in the mirror

    Things aren't looking so good

    I'm looking California

    And feeling Minnesota

    So now you know,

    Who gets mystified

    Show me the power child

    I'd like to say

    That I'm down on my knees today

    It gives me butterflies

    Gives me away

    Till I'm up on my feet again

    I'm feeling outshined

    Someone let the dogs out

    They'll show where the truth is

    The grass is always greener

    Where the dogs are shitting

    I'm feeling that I'm sober

    Even though I'm drinking

    I can't get any lower

    Still I feel I'm sinking

    So now you know,

    Who gets mystified

    Show me the power child

    I'd like to say

    That I'm down on my knees today

    It gives me butterflies

    Gives me away

    Till I'm up on my feet again

    I'm feeling outshined
