The Robing Room

During last week’s hearing, September 11 victims’ families sat through a four-hour presentation from lawyers [who were the lawyers specifically and what do they represent and where is the evidence; why isn't this evidence made public; is the evidence based on the official boiler plate investigation of the events of 9/11 the 9/11 Commission?] who cited evidence supporting their claims that Iran actively assisted the hijackers of planes that crashed into the World Trade Center towers, [drones] the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

Rick Santorum

Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its second annual report on the most corrupt members of Congress

Santorum and his family usually attend Latin Mass at Saint Catherine of Siena Church, near Washington, D.C. On November 12, 2004, Santorum and his wife were invested as Knight and Dame of Magistral Grace of the Knights of Malta in a ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. Santorum traveled in 2002 to Rome to speak at a centenary celebration of the birth of Saint Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei. [many provable ties and links to fascist policies and organizations] In an interview with the National Catholic Reporter while in Rome, Santorum said that the distinction between private religious conviction and public responsibility, espoused by President John F. Kennedy, had caused "great harm in America."

"All of us have heard people say, 'I privately am against abortion, homosexual marriage, [his senate personal aid in 2005 was a homosexual] stem cell research, cloning. But who am I to decide that it's not right for somebody else?' It sounds good, but it is the corruption of freedom of conscience." [understatement of the century]

European Report Condemns British Racism and Xenophobia

A report published by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) calls upon the UK to “address the hostile climate concerning asylum seekers and refugees.” The report published April 3 was adopted on June 16 2000 and follows a report which described Britain as the most hostile European nation towards political refugees. The executive summary of the ECRI report says that while certain legal changes were made in the aftermath of the 1993 racist killing of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, “Problems of xenophobia, racism and discrimination, however, persist and are particularly acute vis-à-vis asylum seekers and refugees.”

The report is the second in a series of country by country assessments undertaken by the ECRI. The first report into the UK was dated March 6 1998 and published in January 1999. In the period between the two reports, the report of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry was published on February 24, 1999. The Inquiry found that “institutional racism” had played a part in the flawed investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service, notably in the treatment of the family of the victim, the failure of officers to recognize a racially motivated crime and the lack of urgency and commitment in some areas of the investigation.

‘Dirty Tricks’ - the British intelligence are masters of the trade

One of British MI6’s more successful ploys was "to set people very discreetly against one another. They destroy each other. You don’t destroy them." Officers would offer the odd hint that it was "a pity that so-and-so is so indiscreet. Not much more." Officers will also deal with paid ’support agents’ - those who supply MI6 with facilities including safe houses and bank accounts, as well as intelligence. There are also ‘long insiders’ - agents of influence with access to MI6 assessments and sanitized intelligence.

MI6 refers to SIS, and more specifically to the largely SIS clique based on the Joint Intelligence Committee that have established themselves as Britain’s secret government, using a large cadre of agents in the media, and bagmen from the forces.

In theory, SIS can carry out assassinations but only at the express request of the Foreign Secretary. The 1994 Intelligence Services Act refers to MI6 being able to perform ‘other tasks’ and protects officers from prosecution for criminal acts outside Britain. Indeed, a clause was especially inserted into the 1998 Criminal Justice Bill - which outlaws organizations in Britain conspiring to commit offences abroad - giving all Crown agents immunity from prosecution under the legislation, including possibly the assassination of foreign leaders.
