The case against [censored] Cheney

While I agree that [censored] Cheney is horrible for the US and the World, I fail
to see what this has to do with children's health.

Nothing. They're just the only newsgroups that John the Idiot knows

Dear friends,

Both an eye-opening BBC documentary and my own personal experience as a
presidential interpreter expose disturbing manipulations in the war on
terror. The BBC documentary and two other highly recommended videos are
available online for free viewing at links provided below. My own personal
experience working in secret meetings with several presidents and other top
officials as an interpreter for the US Department of State are also
described below. Links are provided to recent articles in the mainstream
media about my experiences. At the end of this email are empowering
suggestions on how you can help to strengthen democracy and build a brighter
future for us all.

The Power of Nightmares. This revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the
roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in
the post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own
interests. The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with
top officials and experts in combating terrorism who raise serious questions
about who is behind all of the fear-mongering.

This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has
been used to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and
turning over ever more power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas.
The Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a
powerful, united terrorist organization waiting to strike our societies is
largely an illusion. Wherever one looks for al-Qaeda, from the mountains of
Afghanistan to the "sleeper cells" in America, they find that the British
and Americans are chasing a phantom enemy. For all citizens who care about
the future of our world, this is a must-watch video.

In my own experience as an interpreter for US and foreign presidents, I have
personally witnessed some of the manipulations mentioned in the above
documentary. Having worked as an Indonesian interpreter with the US
Department of State for over 18 years, I recently testified to this in the
widely publicized trial of Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir.
Among other things, Mr. Ba'asyir is accused by US authorities of being the
mastermind behind JI (Jemaah Islamiah), which is alleged to be a sister
organization of Al Qaeda. Many Indonesians are quite skeptical of these
allegations. Like me and the BBC video, they question whether JI was largely
fabricated by powerful elite groups with hidden agendas.

At the trial, I testified about a Sept. 2002 secret meeting at which I
interpreted for President of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri, US Ambassador
Ralph Boyce, National Security Council representative Karen Brooks, and a
special assistant sent personally by President Bush (who revealed privately
to me that she was a CIA agent). The "special assistant" asked President
Megawati to secretly capture and turn over Abu Bakar Ba'asyir to the United
States. Yet US authorities have continually denied ever putting any
pressure on Jakarta to act against Ba'asyir. To read articles about my
recent testimony in the Boston Globe and BBC, and to read some of what I've
written on this and more, see below.

Over a year before this secret meeting, a trusted friend gave me some
powerful, disturbing information which opened my eyes to large-scale
manipulations of which I had previously been completely unaware. This
information involved the public testimony of over 20 government and military
witnesses whose credentials could not be questioned. The information
revealed in their testimony clearly did not benefit them personally. In
fact, it threatened their careers. Yet though these brave individuals
testified in public with large numbers of reporters present, only one
newspaper in the US reported on this major occurrence. The media was clearly
complicit in keeping this disturbing information hidden from the public.

Since my eyes were opened four years ago, I have dedicated myself to
uncovering all that is going on behind the scenes. I discovered and became
deeply involved with a loosely organized international network of
researchers who have committed themselves to researching major cover-ups of
which very few are aware, and to spreading the word, so that we might all
work together to return to a full, open democracy which supports all people
in our good world. In early 2003, I established the website WantToKnow.info
in order to make the results of this research available to the public. On
this website, you will find concise summaries of reliable facts and
information on a number of major cover-ups. All information is verifiable
using the sources provided.

If you are interested in learning more, besides visiting the website and
viewing the revealing BBC documentary, two other eye-opening videos are
available online for free viewing. The first is a short clip that raises key
questions about what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. The second is a
documentary which exposes critical information on 9/11 not covered by the
9/11 commission. I also highly recommend a third excellent documentary on
the erosion of civil liberties which, though not available for free viewing,
can be ordered online. All of these revealing videos expose serious
manipulations around the war on terror.

Pentagon Strike. This short, yet powerful film raises important questions
regarding what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. Only five-minutes in
length, it is well worth watching.

In Plane Site. The informative news website Information Clearning House has
made available this revealing 52-minute film on their website at the link
below. This powerful documentary raises many disturbing issues which the
9/11 Commission completely failed to address. Watch this highly revealing
video and inform your friends and colleagues. Even if only a few of the key
facts in these two videos are true, it is clear that vital information is
being hidden from the public. Both of these engaging 9/11 videos are helping
many previously unaware people to wake up to the fact that we need a real,
unbiased investigation into what happened on that fateful day.

Unconstitutional. In this most excellent documentary, interviews with
ranking members of Congress, top legal experts, and even a former CIA chief
describe many insidious efforts to take away privacy and freedoms guaranteed
under the constitution for over 200 years. Compelling video footage shows US
citizens, from law-abiding store clerks to a US Olympian, who have been the
victims of unconstitutional policies established under the Patriot Act.
Members of Congress describe the replacement of the previously agreed upon
Patriot Act by another version quietly slipped into its place just hours
before the final vote in Congress, leaving no one time to read the many
devastating changes inserted at the last minute. Call your friends together
to watch this engaging film, and to join in the growing movement to uphold
democracy and the US Constitution.

[censored] Cheney, when he was George H.W. Bush's Secretary of Defense worked
hard to privatize military support services. The primary benefactor of
this effort was Haliburton. When [censored] Cheney left his post as Secretary
of Defense he, without having had a single day of business experience
in his life was made C.E.O. of Haliburton...
