Who was the first high government official to authorize use of mustard gas against rebellious Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq?



If your answer was Saddam Hussein's cousin, the notorious "Chemical Ali" -- aka Ali Hassan al-Majid -- you're wrong.



The correct answer: Sainted Winston Churchill. As colonial secretary and secretary for war and air, he authorized the RAF in the 1920s to routinely use mustard gas against rebellious Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq and against Pashtun tribes on British India's northwest frontier.

Are we on the brink of a new cold war? On both sides of the Atlantic, media commentators see the crisis in Ukraine as comparable to the Berlin crises, involving the US and the Soviet Union, which kept the world on tenterhooks for decades. In this supposed drama, a resurgent Kremlin under an ex-KGB colonel is suppressing freedom at home and encroaching on ex-Soviet republics around his country's vast rim.

#1) You must believe everything that the Zionists say about the Holocaust.

(Sorry, I don't believe everything the Zionists say about anything, including the Holocaust. I believe that like any historical event, it must be backed up with facts and it should be freely researched and debated. Zionists are denying the freedom of speech concerning the Holocaust. Also, the Zionists use the Holocaust as a license to kill Palestinians and steal their land. On top of that, the Zionists use the Holocaust to elevate Jewish suffering above all others' suffering.)

The battle-lines are forming – the 12 tribes of Israel in their modern day identities on one side, and the ENTIRE world on the opposing side - and the 12 tribes will be killed, and defeated, and become slaves, ready for payback time by the world they have abused and tormented and made to suffer:- [continued]

Forty Statements that might surprise you.

What am I trying to accomplish? To try to get all to realize the truth. I too imagined a remedy within the constitution until I found out that it was not written for us. I want to try to save you all a lot of time. The powers that be will not allow a "free republic" (rule from the bottom up) they have developed a "political" process that rules from the top down. (see nwo insigna on 1$ frn) Everything you have been told about our America is a lie. EVERYTHING. I found the forty statements below some time ago and couldn't believe it, so I took the time to check them out (months / years) and found many other facts not listed in the forty. I am suggesting to you and the group to investigate for yourself and in the process you will find out who you really are. A divine heir of The Kingdom. (spiritual not physical being)

1. The IRS is not a U.S. Government Agency. It is an Agency of the IMF. (Diversified Metal Products v. IRS et al. CV-93-405E-EJE U.S.D.C.D.I., Public Law 94-564, Senate Report 94-1148 pg. 5967, Reorganization Plan No. 26, Public Law 102-391.)

2. The IMF is an Agency of the UN. (Blacks Law Dictionary 6th Ed. Pg. 816)

3. The U.S. Has not had a Treasury since 1921. (41 Stat. Ch.214 pg. 654)

4. The U.S. Treasury is now the IMF. The FED is the collection agency. (Presidential Documents Volume 29-No.4 pg. 113, 22 U.S.C. 285-288)

5. The United States does not have any employees because there is no longer a United States. No more reorganizations. After over 200 years of operating under bankruptcy its finally over.

Credible sources who were close to Gary Webb have stated that he was receiving death threats, being regularly followed, and that he was concerned about strange individuals who were seen on multiple occasions breaking into and leaving his house before his apparent 'suicide' on Friday morning.



Webb, a Pullitzer prize winning journalist, exposed CIA drug trafficking operations in a series of books and reports for the San Jose Mercury News. He was found dead on Friday morning in what the police said was an apparent suicide.



Webb's 1996 series in the Mercury News alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold tons of crack cocaine in Los Angeles and funneled millions of dollars in profits to the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s

MEDIA RELEASE: Patriot Act 1 & 2

Secret Patriot Act II to give Hitler's Powers to Bush

Infowars.com December 8, 2004

Alex wrote this back in 2003 and it won second place from Project Censored. We're glad that this story is still circulating -- it is as important and timely as ever. Now, the National ID Card and Patriot Act II have passed the house and is in the Senate.

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) told the Washington Times that no member of Congress was allowed to read the first Patriot Act that was passed by the House on October 27, 2001. The first Patriot Act was universally decried by civil libertarians and Constitutional SECRET PATscholars from across the political spectrum. William Safire, while writing for the New York Times, described the first Patriot Act's powers by saying that President Bush was seizing dictatorial control.

On February 7, 2003 the Center for Public Integrity, a non-partisan public interest think-tank in DC, revealed the full text of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003. The classified document had been leaked to them by an unnamed source inside the Federal government. The document consisted of a

http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/120104_world_burns_summary.shtml

-- But when the run on the dollar begins, OPEC will inevitably at some point switch its pricing to the Euro, which the entire world is wrangling - much to Europe's chagrin - into not only a safe-haven currency, but a profitable one. The next house is being built before the old one is abandoned. When the run on the dollar begins, it will be as if the rest of the world declared war on the United States of America by launching a missile, dropping a bomb, or landing an army at Bethany Beach, Delaware. That this will lead ultimately to widespread global warfare seems certain. This is exactly the way the administration is setting it up to appear to the American people. Think of 9/11 times fifty.

The rest of the world is merely defending itself with non-violent means - for the moment. But it will be portrayed as an attack upon the US. "Why?" George Bush will ask, rhetorically. "They hate us because of our freedom."

And, barring a miracle, the end results will be exactly the same as from a physical attack: devastation so complete and unthinkable - magnified by the brutal impacts of Peak Oil - that only a few will even try to prepare for it. That is sad because preparation will make all the difference (barring luck or divine intervention) in who survives and to what extent they remain intact and functioning afterwards.

In mid-November 2004, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he would be taking the prominent role in cementing a powerful coalition of regional as well as superpowers consisting of India, Communist China, Russia and Brazil. The purpose of this coalition is to challenge the supremacy of America and the European Union. Putin is best known as the "Gray Cardinal" for his brutality while leader of the KGB. Putin is also much feared because of his alleged control of the Russian Mafia and the drug trade.

A currency dealer displays US dollar notes at a currency exchange office. The dollar plummeted to new lows against the euro on expectations Russia could par down its dollar reserves in favor of euros and amid ongoing concerns over the US budget and current account deficits, analysts said. [AFP] http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-11/26/content_395102.htm

Over the last few days there has been a number of articles in the media about the steady decline of the $US against the Euro. While many economists have forecasted the possibility of the dollar declining against the Euro for sometime, most do not comprehend the significance of this. Some believe that the decline of the dollar against the currencies of American¹s trading partners will help correct the USA¹s trade deficit, and the dollar will stop falling when the trade imbalance is corrected. However, the evidence is that the opposite is happening ­ the $US has declined 40% against the Euro over the last 2 years, and during this time America¹s trade deficit has continues to deteriorate.

Oh, the gnashing of teeth, the beating of breasts, the wailings of woe. Bush and the Republicans stole the election! Big surprise, eh? The neocon Nazis have done nothing but break the law since before they ever took office. You were expecting fair play from them, perchance? Much as I admire many of my friends who are desperately trying to tell everyone that the exit polls matched the election results in all the states with a paper trail, but didn't in states without one - suspiciously and substantially favoring Bush instead - they all are, to put it politely, whizzing into the wind. Perhaps they hope to find a prosecutor aspiring to career suicide, or maybe a judge who wishes to see his family killed in some kind of odd accident, an inexplicable plane crash, perhaps.. Of course, it is of some substantive concern that the American electoral process has been placed in the hands of partisan corporations, guaranteeing about as much integrity as typical government reports saying antidepressants are good for children, or the feds have no idea who committed the anthrax murders, or corporations should not be held liable for their lethal products because it's bad for business.

We often hear claims that the United States is a democracy and just as often statements that our democracy is the finest example of self government ever devised by man. Is this latter point true? Before that question can be answered perhaps we should determine exactly what it is that constitutes a democracy.

by Mark Weber Spring of 1997

http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v16/v16n3p-2_Weber.html

On January 20, 1997, Bill Clinton began his second term as President with a swearing-in ceremony at the White House followed by an inaugural address. During the first few minutes of this speech, Clinton briefly surveyed the history of the past ten decades:

What a century it has been. America became the world's mightiest industrial power; saved the world from tyranny in two world wars and a long Cold War; and time and again, reached across the globe to millions who longed for the blessings of liberty. http://i.am/jah/truth.htm

Not only do these proud, even boastful words contain historical lies, they manifest an arrogance that lays the groundwork for future calamity. In truth, in neither the first nor the second world wars did the United States "save the world from tyranny." http://i.am/jah/clint.htm

World War I

In April 1917, President Woodrow Wilson called for America's entry into World War I by proclaiming that "the world must be made safe for democracy." On another occasion, he declared that US participation in the conflict would make it a "war to end war." To secure support for this crusade, newspapers and political leaders, and an official US government propaganda agency, portrayed Germany as a power-mad tyranny that threatened the liberty of the world. http://i.am/jah/democra.htm

However, within just a few years after the November 1918 armistice that ended the fighting, this wartime propaganda image was widely recognized as absurd. Today no serious historian regards Wilhelmine Germany as a "tyranny," or believes that it posed any kind of threat to the United States, much less "the world."

Ironically, America's principal allies in World War I -- Britain and France -- were at the time the world's greatest imperial powers. (A sore point for many Americans of Irish background was Britain's control of Ireland.) Many in the United States regarded Britain, not Germany, as the foremost threat to world liberty, recalling that Americans had waged a bitter, drawn-out war for independence from British rule (1775-1783), and that during a second war with the same country (1812-1814) British troops had sacked and burned down the US capital.

World War II

President Clinton's distortion of history is even more glaring with regard to the Second World War. America's two most important military allies in that conflict were the foremost imperialist power (Britain) and the cruelest tyranny (Soviet Russia).

During both world wars, Britain ruled a vast global empire, subjugating millions against their will in what are now India, Pakistan, South Africa, Palestine/Israel, Egypt and Malaysia, to name but a few. America's other great wartime ally, Stalinist Russia, was, by any objective measure, a vastly more cruel despotism than Hitler's Germany. http://i.am/jah/horse.htm

It all adds up, and we knew it all months ago or should have.

1. Any experienced programmer could use a common flat file database to accept entries into columns and rows, like a paper ballot, add up those rows, and record the totals for each column, and print out hardcopy for each voter and for election officials.
2. This simple database could be open source for anyone to examine for its accuracy and reliability, and lack of back doors for funny stuff. And the feds could require it to be uniform and mandatory for all states, and allow anyone to examine the code.
3. But the touch screen corporations all had to create secret, proprietary code that's protected by law so no one could ever see whether it would alter individual votes internally or alter totals recorded, or see if it was programmed to test accurate for election officials beforehand and only alter the numbers on Election Day.
4. Those touch screen machines won't print hardcopy records of votes, even where states require recounts in certain situations and need hardcopy ballot records.
5. The three major touch screen machine corporations are all owned by diehard Republicans.
6. The Republican controlled Congress and White House legislated the new voting law that subsidized states to purchase these Republican owned touch screen machines.

DEAR NATHANIEL POPPER:

popper@f...

Oct. 21, 2004

Thank you for the coverage in the article you wrote titled: Some of His Best Friends Are Jewish: The Saga of a Holocaust Revisionist. At the following link:

http://forward.com/main/article.php? ref=popper200410201121

Concerning David Irving, I want to say he has made a tremendous historical contribution by exposing a lot of long held WWII deceptions, and that has obviously earned him a lot of enemies. Not the least of which are the radical Jewish community, who have a lot of WWII skeletons in the closet and want them to remain there.

I would like to say that my site is primarily an editorial site. Where I forward on selections of material that is suppressed for the mass media over fear of the Jewish Lobby. I have a wide and diverse list of busy people who appreciate having access to this 'banned' material. It allows them over a year or two to become much more knowledgeable on these complicated and controversial issues, where well financed disinformation campaigns abound, all designed to hoax the public, which I view as a kind of mass theft of the democracy. http://i.am/jah/democra.htm

'For example one of the most horrible suppressed stories is the Zionist* participation in the holocaust, which early on was a way to use the Nazis to eliminate their religious Jewish opponents, and then use their deaths as a tool to take over Palestine, one of the most perverse crimes against humanity in modern times.'

* King of kings' Bible - Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are NOT, but [are] (Idumeans) the synagogue of Satan. http://i.am/jah/kofkad.htm

In the future your reporting can go a bit further with Jewish racism, Israeli spying, and Jewish terrorism, such as the JDO. It should get a critical overview by responsible media, such as The Forward newspaper. Or once again, should the public be told what they are allowed to think on these issues, and viciously attacked (with the help of the media) if they disagree.

"Do you think the Jewish Lobby wants their scandals exposed?' Do you think journalists have a duty to do this, like they have in so many other situations? Or should the fear of Jewish Lobby retribution rule the day, which is so well known in the media and academic fields. Their form of beheadings.

My 'questionable website' would not even exist were it not for the censorship of the Lobby skeletons which is acknowledged by just about everybody I talk to, including media people. It is a huge scandal and embarrassing to me as an American to see the country living in such fear of a small group of people with so obviously questionable motives (yes, get this out on the table -- their loyalty).

When France was occupied the Resistance was opposed by other Frenchmen. Those who oppose the occupation of our institutions are likewise opposed by the occupiers and their cronies. It has always been that way. We live in a country where Jews and their major conventions harp on and on about how influential they are, and they excoriate non-Jews for discussing the same thing. It's a shame to the country.

A good friend of mine said the Presidential "Elections" in the USA reminds him of the Muppet Show. I concurred fully, and decided to put this 2 minute clip together. Since I have quite limited time I can't sit and tweak on it for very long, (for instance lip-sync them and make them tapdance)....and I hope that the theme-song along with these two professional liars (politicians) have the effect I was looking for. As ridiculous as the situation is, it isn't a laughing matter...

WHO BELIEVES THE LIE THAT ANYONE CAN BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.? The Illuminati rule America! Who are the super rich "elite" Illuminati and their associates? The Queen of England, her husband Prince Philip and the Royal House of Windsor, the hierarchy on the board of directors of the Vatican, including the Pope; the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Duponts, Fords, Carnegies, Melons, Bush's etc.
http://i.am/jah/300.htm

To get the details of who the Illuminati are, put Illuminati in www.google.com It is not the American people who choose the President and Vice President of the United States of America, but rather the super secret "shadow government" called the Illuminati/New World Order who choose them!
http://i.am/jah/illumin.htm

Various researchers, including, David Icke in his book "The Biggest Secret", point out that all 43 men who were Presidents of the U.S.A. are related, and that 33 of the Presidents can be traced back to the bloodline of Charlemagne, who in the year 800 was crowned by Pope Leo III to be Holy Roman Emperor, the first head of an empire that would last over 1000 years!
http://i.am/jah/darth.htm

This should be setting off major alarm bells in your mind. Like this is no coincidence. The odds of all 43 Presidents being related, and this just randomly happening, are billions (trillions) to one. Democratic and Republican candidates are "chosen" by the "Elitist" super rich organization called the Illuminati. Democrats and Republicans and the Illuminati would not want you to believe any of this. They don't teach you this in schools and for good reason: the Illuminati want to stay hidden.

PBS MODERATORS ALWAYS GO SUPER EASY ON ISRAEL

MIDDLEEAST.ORG - MER - Washington - 7 October: The moderators -- both from the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) -- could have, and should have, asked hard, probing, unexpected questions like this:

"Mr. President and Senator Kerry: Recently the International Court of Justice nearly unanimously ruled about the illegality of Israeli policies in occupying the Palestinians. And recently still another Israeli spy scandal erupted in Washington. Isn't it time to reevaluate the massive financial and military support the U. S. alone provides yearly to (the Jewish State in, but not of) Israel"? http://i.am/jah/britca.htm

"Mr. Vice-President and Senator Edwards: Today the U. N. Security Council passed, but the U. S. vetoed, another resolution about (the Jewish State in, but not of) Israel. Only the U. S. voted Against. How can there be a real peace between (the Jewish State in, but not of) Israel and the Arabs if nearly the whole world sees things one way and only the U. S. and (the Jewish State in, but not of) Israel always seem to see things and do things otherwise?"

But of course the unspoken reality is that the recent moderators, Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifil, are hired and well-paid never to ask tough questions of this kind. They are professional journalistic softball players, always holding back, always deferring to authority and their corporate sponsors, and when it comes to (the Jewish State in, but not of) Israel never being direct and candid. This is not only always reflected by the questions they ask, but even more by the questions they do not ask and the very narrow range of persons they invite to be asked any questions at all.

Of course it is these underlying realities that explain why the two parties chose PBS's Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifil to be the moderators of the first Presidential and the only Vice-Presidential debate, now history.
