Group Cites Gonzales Memo Calling Geneva Conventions “Quaint” and “Obsolete”...

http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/reports/report.asp?ObjID=7Sji957UtN&Content=463



Spotlight on Enron's law firm :

Alberto Gonzales enjoys a reputation for covering George W. Bush's back. In 1996, for example, Gonzales, as Bush's general counsel, managed to get the then-Texas governor excused from jury duty, thus saving Bush from having to disclose a 1976 arrest for drunk driving.

The 2004 election marks the rise of a quasi-clerical party for the first time in the United States. Ecclesiastical organisation has become the sinew and muscle of the Republican party, essential in George Bush's re-election.

LOS ANGELES, November 9, 2004 - At 7:50 PM armored tanks showed up at an anti-war protest in front of the federal building in Westwood.

The tanks circled the block twice, the second time parking themselves in the street and directly in front of the area where most of the protesters were gathered.

Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but police quickly cleared the street.

The people continued to protest the presence of the tanks, but after about ten minutes the tanks drove off. It is unclear as to why the tanks were deployed to this location.


Informant: CHEROKEE

In terms of my last email that stated that Kerry was considering unconceding: I got this information from a few trusted sources and I tracked down the original source, a D.C. lawyer, Cynthia Butler. This is what she sent me to explain her reasoning. http://www.moderateindependent.com/v2i21election.htm

Also, Kerry's brother sent out an email saying he was grateful for everyone's concern about fraud and miscounting and says election lawyers are still on the job in Ohio and Florida. He says, "if you have specific factual information about voting problems that could be helpful to the lawyers doing their job, please send it to vri@dnc.org rather than to me."

Here are some new actions that could help uncover fraud and facilitate a recount:

Contact Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell to complain about the new rule that rejects any provisional ballot that doesn't have the voter's birth of date on it. (article here: http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2004/985).
J. Kenneth Blackwell
180 E. Broad St., 16th Floor
Columbus, OH 43215
614-466-3910
Email: blackwell@sos.state.oh.us

In the link above it mentions that an election lawyer for the Democratic Party said that Kerry might ask for a recount of several counties in Ohio that had statistical anomalies. If you want to encourage him to do this or to ask him to do a full recount, you can contact the DNC at 202-863-8000 or http://www.democrats.org/contact/ or contact the Kerry campaign at 202-712-3000 (phone) 202-712-3001 (fax) or http://www.democrats.org/contact/

Foster Kids on Mind-Altering Drugs?

Why would a child as young as three years old ever be on mind-altering drugs? For the past eight months, the News 4 WOAI Trouble Shooters have poured through reams of state documents and discovered thousands of foster kids appear to be on powerful psychotropic drugs. Many of these children are barely in kindergarten. Some are mere toddlers. "We didn't even know he was in the hospital until he called us from Laurel Ridge himself," a woman we'll refer to as "Magdalana" tells us. We're disguising her name in order to protect the identity of her six year old grandson she's referring to. She says he was confined to a psychiatric hospital following a temper tantrum when he called his grandmother for help. "I mean he was like," Magdalana describes, "maybe you could say he looked more like a zombie."

News 4 WOAI Trouble Shooter Tanji Patton asks, "How could you tell by looking at him that he was on medication?" Magdalana answers, "His attitude, his eyes, his way of speech. All that."

In retrospect, the energy that many progressives put behind Kerry would have been much better put solidifying and expanding national movements against the Bush regime’s war against you, me, our environment and the world. We must not join in a “common effort” with the Bush regime, as Kerry asks us to do. We must instead fan the flames of rage and anger against the theocracy....

Right-wing trumpets are making a horrific racket across a ravaged political landscape. For now, hope is barely audible. Progressives seem like fledglings without feathers, weakly tapping from inside thick shells. Four more years sound like hell. . . . Ideological fanatics have extended their control over the Executive Branch while increasing their domination of Congress. The “leaders” who lied the country into war are plunging ahead with escalating carnage in Iraq. Soon they’ll take action to make the Supreme Court more authoritarian -- threatening abortion rights, freedom of speech, basic legal protections for defendants and other civil liberties. A theocratic stench is in the air. This emergency has not been averted. It’s here....

Forty years after Senator Barry Goldwater crashed and burned as the Republican Party's conservative presidential candidate, a consolidated conservative movement spearheaded by evangelical Christians carried George W. Bush to victory. The re-election of the president wasn't so much determined by Soccer Moms, NASCAR Dads, or military voters as it was by Karl Rove's army of “Values Voters” -- an unwaveringly loyal bloc of Republican Party voters that marched to the polls and provided President Bush the votes necessary in a number of key states, including the pivotal battleground state of Ohio. . . . With the possible appointment of two, perhaps three, Supreme Court Justices -- including a Chief Justice -- and dozens of judges in lower courts, more tax cuts for the wealthy, the further evisceration of social programs, the privatization of social security, the lowering the wall of the separation of church and state, and more foreign adventures, conservative Christians have given the president the opportunity to forge a right wing legacy that could last well into this century. Make no mistake about it: Team Bush is dead set on nothing less than reshaping America....

What has America become under the leadership of “Christian conservatives” [sic] and the Republican Party? Is it still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Does it still welcome the Earth’s oppressed, her tired, huddled masses to its teeming shores, if not by law at least in spirit? Do the Democrats and Republicans still represent our nation’s two largest constituencies -- workers and management? Do the Democrats, in the words of Gore Vidal, still bribe the masses, or have they become like Republicans, ruling through coercion? Are we still a nation, as we were before 1980, in which “religious” people and clergy are worthy of being held in high esteem? Or have we become a nation that the views of such people are dangerous because of their suspicious political activism and morally bankrupt worldviews? One need only compare Pat Robertson to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to consider the contrast. We know what the Rev. King’s dream was by heart, but what about Dr. Robertson’s? What’s his dream?

Einfluss der räumlichen Nähe von Mobilfunksendeanlagen auf die Krebsinzidenz

Horst Eger, Klaus Uwe Hagen, Birgitt Lucas, Peter Vogel, Helmut Voit

Zusammenfassung

Im Anschluss an die durch den rasanten Anstieg der drahtlosen Telefonie in den letzten Jahren bedingte zunehmenden Mobilfunksendeanlagen in oder in unmittelbarer Nähe von Wohngebieten erfolgte die Aufforderung des Präsidenten des Bundesamtes für Strahlenschutz, Wolfram König, an alle Ärzte, aktiv an der Abschätzung des Risikos durch Mobilfunkstrahlung mitzuarbeiten. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung war daher, zu prüfen, ob Anwohner in der Nähe von Mobilfunksendeanlagen einem erhöhten Risiko für Neuerkrankungen an bösartigen Tumoren ausgesetzt sind.

Datengrundlage waren PC-gespeicherte und mit den Krankenkassen abgerechnete Patientenunterlagen der Jahre 1994 bis 2004. In die ohne Fremdmittel erstellte Studie wurden Angaben von knapp 1.000 Patienten aus Naila (Oberfranken) unter Wahrung des Datenschutzes aufgenommen.

Als Ergebnis zeigte sich, dass der Anteil von neu aufgetretenen Krebsfällen bei den Patienten, die während der letzten zehn Jahre in einem Abstand bis zu 400 Meter um die seit 1993 betriebene Mobilfunksendeanlage gewohnt hatten, gegenüber weiter entfernt lebenden Patienten signifikant höher war und die Patienten in durchschnittlich jüngerem Alter erkrankt waren.

Für die Jahre 1999 bis 2004 - also nach fünf und mehr Jahren Betriebszeit des Senders - hatte sich das Malignomrisiko für die näher an der Sendestation lebende Bevölkerungsgruppe im Vergleich mit der Gruppe im Nailaer Außenbereich verdreifacht.

Summary

Following the call by Wolfram König, President of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (Federal Agency for radiation protection), to all doctors of medicine to collaborate actively in the assessment of the risk posed by cellular radiation, the aim of our study was to examine whether people living close to cellular transmitter antennas were exposed to a heightened risk of taking ill with malignant tumors.

The basis of the data used for the survey were PC files of the case histories of patients between the years 1994 and 2004. While adhering to data protection, the personal data of almost 1.000 patients were evaluated for this study, which was completed without any external financial support. It is intended to continue the project in the form of a register.

The result of the study shows that the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter site, which bas been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living further away, and that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.

In the years 1999-2004, i.e. after five years’ operation of the transmitting installation, the relative risk of getting cancer had trebled for the residents of the area in the proximity of the installation compared to the inhabitants of Naila outside the area.

Key words: cellular radiation, cellular transmitter antennas, malignant tumors

http://www.tetrawatch.net/papers/naila.pdf

I am working on it to produce a very much smaller version as soon as I can. This is a very important study, you should read it and be familiar with it. I don't believe at his stage that the rise in particular cancers has anything to do with breaking DNA necessarily. There are direct and plausible reasons for quite other mechanisms, so this study cannot be set against the "not enough energy in mast emissions" argument favoured by the HPA or WHO.

Never say Die-bold: So you don’t think the Bush campaign stole this election? Think again

If you’re looking for one word to sum up the way the Bush-Cheney campaign stole another election Tuesday besides obvious ones like “cheated,” try this one: Diebold. An election judge where I voted Tuesday in a heavily Democratic precinct in Maryland knows what that means and wasn’t averse to sharing his opinion of the Republican-owned company. As I was about to vote with the electronic system, I asked this judge if they had a way to check people’s votes through a paper backup. The official said no, and then in a low voice so no one else would hear, added, “And that really makes us nervous, with Diebold as the owner of that system.” Goodbye, hanging chads. Hello, computer fraud that leaves no trace. Diebold Inc. of North Canton, Ohio, supplied scores of machines and counted millions of votes Tuesday, while reportedly discarding many votes for Democrat John Kerry, according to investigative reporter Greg Palast. Walden O’Dell, chief executive of Diebold and a top fundraiser for the Bush campaign, wrote in a fund-raising letter last year that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.” That he did.

The morning after Election Day, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and the vice presidential candidate John Edwards promised the nation that the Democrats would make sure that every vote counts, and that every vote is counted. Later in the day, Kerry and Edwards, however, conceded defeat before some 170,000 to 250,000 provisional ballots from Ohio, which could have changed the outcome of the election, had been counted. But how were the votes actually counted across the nation on Nov. 2? On Election Day, voters in Cook County, Ill., were among the 60 million Americans who voted with machines made by Election Systems & Software, a secretive company based in Omaha.

ES&S, as it is known, calls itself “the world’s largest and most experienced provider of total election management solutions.” According to the company’s own figures, 42 percent of all registered voters in the United States voted on ES&S equipment on Election Day.

Hundreds of angry Ohio residents marched through the streets of Columbus—Ohio’s Capital—this evening and stormed the Ohio State House, defying orders and arrest threats from Ohio State Troopers. "O-H-I-O ! suppressed democracy has got to go,"they chanted. After troopers pushed and scuffled with people, nearly a hundred people took over the steps and entrance to the State’s giant white column capital building and refused repeated orders to disperse or face arrest. People prepared for arrests, ready to face jail—writing lawyers phone numbers on their arms, signing jail support lists and discussing non-cooperation and active resistance (linking arms, but not fighting back). A freshly painted banner held on the steps read "ONE VOTE DENIED = DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE! 100’S OF 1000’S OF VOTES SURPRESSED = DEMOCRACY FAILED" articulated the crisis. An unprecedented massive grassroots voter registration and get out the vote effort and widespread opposition to Bush went up against the massive coordinated Republican effort to suppress, intimidate and possibly steal millions of votes. In addition to the voter suppression and intimidation is the fact that Bush campaign co-chair Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell is in charge of the election and vote counting. But much deeper questions about fundamental flaws in the system hang in the air. CNN's exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53 percent to 47 percent. Kerry also defeated Bush among Ohio's male voters 51 percent to 49 percent. Investigative reporter Greg Palast in an article today titled "Kerry Won" details how the deciding states, Ohio and New Mexico, if all votes were actually counted, would have gone to Kerry. Palast explains, "Although the exit polls show that most voters in Ohio punched cards for Kerry-Edwards, thousands of these votes were simply not recorded. The election in Ohio was not decided by the voters but by something called "spoilage." Typically in the United States, about 3 percent of the vote is voided, just thrown away, not recorded." But that is just a piece of it.

Since the late 1960’s, every president winning a second term has found his administration embroiled in a scandal of some sort. For those of us who truly love liberty and yearn for the days of politicians, who at least played at honoring their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, perhaps a nice juicy scandal will stop the second Bush administration from totally destroying this country. In 2002, a multitude of lawsuits, most by some 500 family members of those lost in the disasters of 9/11, were filed in several different federal courts. The Bush administration is already seeking to stifle discovery, therefore preventing the release of possibly incriminating evidence in all of these lawsuits. In addition, San Francisco-based attorney, Stanley G. Hilton has filed a class-action federal lawsuit that names President Bush and members of his Cabinet as defendants. The named Cabinet members include Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"I hope the lawsuit will expose the fact that there are numbers of people in the government, including Bush and his top assistants, who wanted this to happen," Hilton was quoted as saying by the San Francisco Examiner in June of 2002.

With US forces massing outside Fallujah, 35 marines swayed to Christian rock music and asked Jesus Christ to protect them in what could be the biggest battle since American troops invaded Iraq last year. Men with buzzcuts and clad in their camouflage waved their hands in the air, M-16 assault rifles beside them, and chanted heavy metal-flavoured lyrics in praise of Christ late on Friday in a yellow-brick chapel. They counted among thousands of troops surrounding the city of Fallujah, seeking solace as they awaited Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's decision on whether or not to invade Fallujah. "You are the sovereign. You're name is holy. You are the pure spotless lamb," a female voice cried out on the loudspeakers as the marines clapped their hands and closed their eyes, reflecting on what lay ahead for them. The US military, with many soldiers coming from the conservative American south and midwest, has deep Christian roots. In times that fighting looms, many soldiers draw on their evangelical or born-again heritage to help them face the battle. One spoke of their Old Testament hero, a shepherd who would become Israel's king, battling the Philistines 3 000 years ago. "Thus David prevailed over the Philistines," the marine said, reading from scripture, and the marines shouted back "Hoorah, King David," using their signature grunt of approval. The marines drew parallels from the verse with their present situation, where they perceive themselves as warriors fighting barbaric men opposed to all that is good in the world. "Victory belongs to the Lord," another young marine read. Their chaplain, named Horne, told the worshippers they were stationed outside Fallujah to bring the Iraqis "freedom from oppression, rape, torture and murder ...

We ask you God to bless us in that effort."

Guantanamo style Patriot Act concentration camps are being secretly organized by the Department of Homeland Defense. Now that Bush dynasty has illicitly secured its second term in the eyes of the American people plans are fully underway for John Ashcroft's "Patriot Act Concentration Camps" to jail and disappear US Citizens. Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft's announced to Bush administration aides yesterday his desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be "enemy combatants" such as anarchists, anti-war protesters, americans of arab descent, communists and homosexuals. Ashcroft's plan would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts by declaring them enemy combatants.

Now that a second term for George Bush has been secured, Ashcroft plans to use his self made "enemy combatant" stamp for any citizen whom he deems to be part of a wider terrorist conspiracy.

Trotzdem gab sich Bernhard Aufdereggen, Vorstandsmitglied von Ärztinnen und Ärzten für Umweltschutz, an der Diskussion in Zürich überzeugt: «Es bestehen ernst zu nehmende Hinweise für Beeinträchtigungen der Gesundheit durch Basisstationen.»

Der Arzt führte unter anderem eine Studie des holländischen TNO-Labors an, die vor einem Jahr für Aufsehen gesorgt hatte. Die TNO-Forscher untersuchten eine Gruppe elektrosensibler Personen, die sich in ihrem Wohlbefinden durch Sendemasten beeinträchtigt fühlten. Eine zweite Versuchsgruppe gab an, nicht elektrosensibel zu sein.

Beide Gruppen wurden verschiedenen Hochfrequenzfeldern mit einer Feldstärke von 1 Volt pro Meter ausgesetzt. Einmal entsprach das Feld jener Strahlung, wie sie von GSM-Antennen ausgeht, dem heute gebräuchlichen europäischen Mobilfunkstandard der zweiten Generation.

Ein andermal wurden die Testpersonen mit einem UMTS-Signal bestrahlt, dem geplanten globalen Mobilfunkstandard der dritten Generation. Zu Kontrollzwecken wurden die Personen auch «nur zum Schein» bestrahlt. Die Versuche wurden doppelblind durchgeführt, weder die Testpersonen noch der Versuchsleiter wussten also, wann welches Signal und wann überhaupt kein Signal ausgesandt wurde.

Wohlbefinden beeinträchtigt

Das erstaunliche Ergebnis: In beiden Versuchsgruppen verschlechterte sich das Wohlbefinden, wenn die Testpersonen während 20 Minuten dem UMTS-Feld ausgesetzt waren. Selbst bei den nicht elektrosensiblen Personen war dieser Effekt nachweisbar.

Den Ärzten für Umweltschutz gab die TNO-Studie den Anstoß, ein Moratorium für die neue Mobilfunkgeneration UMTS zu fordern. «Ich rate zur Vorsicht gegenüber neuen Technologien», sagt Bernhard Aufdereggen. Denn wenn das Entwicklungstempo so weitergetrieben werde, «drohen mögliche Katastrophen».

Nun wird die Untersuchung in der Schweiz mit einer verbesserten Methodik wiederholt. Insgesamt sollen 84 Personen getestet werden, «deutlich mehr als in der Originalstudie», schreibt die Forschungsstiftung Mobilkommunikation.

Die gut 700 000 Franken teure Schweizer Studie wird zu 60 Prozent von der öffentlichen Hand finanziert. 40 Prozent zahlen Orange, Sunrise und Swisscom Mobile. Wenn die Mobilfunkanlagen potenzielle Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit hätten, müsse man dies frühzeitig wissen, begründet Carsten Schloter, Chef von Swisscom Mobile, das finanzielle Engagement. Und: Die Forschung sei wichtig, um bei den Kunden das Vertrauen zu fördern.
Die Wiederholung der TNO-Studie in der Schweiz wird gut ein Jahr dauern. Erste Ergebnisse sollen Ende 2005 veröffentlicht werden.

Omega das Ergebnis der Studie ist absehbar, wenn die Forschung von der Mobilfunkindustrie mitfinanziert wird. Dass Mobilfunkanlagen potenzielle Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit haben, ist doch längst bekannt. Siehe „Wissenschaft und Mobilfunk“ unter: http://omega.twoday.net/stories/293807/

Die immer neuen, meist völlig überflüssigen „neuen“ Forschungsstudien dienen doch nur dem einen Zweck: sich vor den notwendigen Konsequenzen der Forschungsergebnisse zu schützen, nämlich eine gesundheitsverträglichere Mobilfunktechnik einzusetzen und für die angerichteten Schäden zu haften. Für eine gesundheitsverträglichere Mobilfunktechnik zu forschen und die Forschungsgelder dafür einzusetzen wäre viel sinnvoller, als zu hoffen etwas „wegzuforschen“ zu können, was schon lange als schädlich bewiesen ist. Außerdem wird es den letzten, ultimativen Beweis auch niemals geben, weil es so was in der Wissenschaft überhaupt nicht gibt. In der Zwischenzeit bauen die Mobilfunkbetreiber unter Hochdruck ihre Netze zu Lasten der Gesundheit der Bevölkerung immer weiter aus und nutzen die Forderungen nach immer weiterer Forschung als Zeitaufschub und Alibi für ihre wirtschaftlichen Interessen, nämlich dem Bestandsschutz für ihre Anlagen. Wir wissen doch ganz genau, dass es wirklich 100 % reproduzierbare Studien überhaupt nicht gibt. Die Studien und deren Ergebnisse unterscheiden sich alle mehr oder weniger. Kaum ein Geldgeber wäre bereit eine Studie zu finanzieren, die bereits mit einem identischen Forschungsaufbau und -ziel gelaufen ist und Forschungsziele und deren erwünschte Ergebnisse lassen sich leicht vor Beginn der Studie definieren.

Wie kann man von Interessierten, die aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen ein für sich positives Ergebnis anstreben und wünschen, auch ein anderes Verhalten erwarten? Da liegt doch Parteilichkeit vor und dann will man die Studienergebnisse der Öffentlichkeit als „neutral“, „unabhängig“ oder „objektiv“ verkaufen. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Mobilfunkbetreiber an vielen Studien finanziell beteiligt sind und waren, braucht man sich über die unterschiedlichen und sich oft auch widersprechenden Forschungsergebnisse nicht wundern, denn wenn man den „Bock zum Gärtner“ macht, was kann man denn dann anderes erwarten? Nur wirklich unabhängige Forschung, ohne Beteiligung der wirtschaftlich interessierten Parteien, macht wirklich einen Sinn. Siehe „Forscher und Forschungsergebnisse von der Industrie bezahlt“ unter: http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/forscher_und_forschungsergebnisse_von_der_industrie_bezahlt.htm


Während sich über die Auswirkungen der Sendemasten weiterhin nur spekulieren lässt, sind sich die meisten Forscher einig: Das Handy kann die elektrische Aktivität des Gehirns beeinflussen. Verschiedene Studien zeigten eine Veränderung der Hirnstromwellen, wenn die Versuchspersonen Mobilfunkstrahlung ausgesetzt waren.

Krebsrisiko untersuchen

Ungewiss ist nach wie vor auch, ob es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Handystrahlung und Krebs gibt. «Es scheint möglich, dass Mobilfunkstrahlung die Entstehung von Tumoren fördert», sagt Bernhard Aufdereggen. «Die Diskussion in Wissenschaftskreisen ist kontrovers.»

Omega: der Grund siehe oben. Es gibt einen Zusammenhang zwischen Handystrahlung und Krebs. Siehe „Mobilfunk und Krebs“ unter: http://omega.twoday.net/stories/284796/

Seit Oktober 2000 läuft eine internationale Studie, die klären soll, ob die regelmäßige Nutzung des Handys das Risiko erhöht, an einem Hirntumor zu erkranken. Im Rahmen der von der WHO koordinierten Untersuchung werden in 13 Ländern Tumorpatienten befragt.

Die bisher veröffentlichten Ergebnisse dieser so genannten Interphone-Studie sind widersprüchlich und lassen gemäss Fachleuten noch keine eindeutigen Schlüsse zu. Das Programm endet 2005.

The 500 metres from habitation recommendation - this came from the Stewart Report and can be accessed on the internet. No withstanding the recommendation, 'Phone companies seem to be able to plonk masts wherever they like. The one in our village is 14 metres from front doors and has been causing the usual symptoms - chronic insomnia and headaches; sore bloodshot eyes; earache and tinnitus; nose bleeds. Also, ulcerated mouths and throats; rashes/eczema; exacerbation of existing symptoms - and of course exhaustion and depression!

Several dogs have developed growths on paws; loss of appetite; vomiting and restlessness; one dog a growth in its mouth and one cat a tumour in its throat. Noone will take any notice of the evidence from Russia and Schwarzenburg which prove the actual effects of electromagnetic radio frequency emissions.

Listen to BBC's Greg Palast report on the felonies that have been committed by Republicans in their effort to prevent Democratic votes from being counted: http://www.truthout.org/multimedia.htm

Also see his printed report which was the number-one BBC report, in terms of international audience interest, but which American newspapers refused to print or comment on. http://www.gregpalast.com/

Greg says that Secretary of State Ken Blackwell in Ohio will not even allow the counting of the provisional ballots to begin unless he is threatened with a lawsuit from the Kerry folks, and that does not seem to be forthcoming. Honestly, I find this hard to believe, but that's what he said in this telephone interview.

Greg also claims that black voters -- I think it was in Florida and Ohio -- are eight times less likely to have their votes counted than are whites, and that special efforts have been made by Republican operatives to make sure most blacks either never get to vote -- or if they vote, that their votes are never counted. Why is this? Because 90-95% of all blacks vote Democratic.

Mecklenburg's flawed count = Human error

12,000 votes uncounted in Gaston
Could change outcome of local, statewide races
BINYAMIN APPELBAUM
Staff Writer

GASTONIA - About 12,000 votes cast in Gaston County have not yet been counted, elections director Sandra Page said Tuesday. Page said most early and absentee votes were not included in the county's unofficial election results because of a procedural error.

The inclusion of the votes in the county's results, expected Tuesday afternoon, could change the outcome of several local and statewide races.

Page emphasized that the votes are still in the computer system. She said officials failed to release the votes from the machine on which they were stored into the database where votes were tallied. She said she discovered the error Tuesday morning and results would be updated that afternoon.

"We apologize to anybody for this," she said. "After an election the boards of elections need their time and nothing is official until the board signs off and people need to understand that."

The number of uncounted votes is larger than the current margin of victory in statewide races for Commissioner of Agriculture and Superintendent of Public Instruction.

It is also larger than the margin of victory in several local races, particularly for the board of education.

Genfer Konventionen: US-Bundesrichter stoppt Guantanamo-Tribunal (10.11.04)

Wegen gravierender Verstöße gegen die Genfer Konventionen hat ein US-Bundesgericht erstmals einen Sonderprozess gegen einen Guantanamo-Häftling als ungesetzlich bezeichnet und gestoppt. Wie die Tagesschau am Dienstag berichtete, wies Richter Robertson alle Anträge der US-Regierung zurück. "Er hat entschieden, dass eine der grundsätzlichen Regeln für Militärgerichte die Möglichkeit für einen Angeklagten sein muss, die vorliegenden Beweise gegen ihn einzusehen", erklärte der Verteidiger des jeremitischen Staatsbürgers Salim Achmed Hamdam. Genau das sei weder in den bisher vier geplanten Militärtribunalen vorgesehen noch in den gleichzeitig stattfindenden so genannten Statusanhörungen gegen alle Guantanamo-Häftlinge, in denen geklärt werden soll, ob sie tatsächlich illegale Kämpfer sind und in Haft bleiben müssen. Die ersten Militärtribunale seit dem 2. Weltkrieg wurden somit für illegal erklärt.

The Bush administration has been able to get away with badly distorting reality because the public doesn't have as much personal experience with foreign policy and security issues as they do with issues such as education, health care, the economy, etc. In addition, many people were unnerved by the 9/11 attacks and their residual fear prevented them from taking a chance on an unknown quantity such as John Kerry. Unbelievably, despite gross incompetence by the administration in fighting the 'war on terror' and the conflict in Iraq, the public, by wide margins, rated Bush as better able to fight both of them than Kerry...

At least a third of Americans reported errors with voting machines during the 2004 presedential election. Many of the machines were made by companies which supported Bush's campaign, a clear conflict of interests, and there are reports of machines showing Bush even when Kerry was chosen.

Indian Wars Continue in Nevada 2004

Western Shoshone Nation Calls Bush Administration Land Bill a Fraud

Phoenix, AZ – As open war rages in Fallujah, Iraq the home front faces an insurgency of its own, one where the Indigenous Nations stand with principles of spiritual nonviolence to assert their ancestral responsibilities as the true caretakers of the homeland. Western Shoshone Nation elder Carrie Dann will speak today at a press conference in Phoenix to address the violation of the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty between the United States and the Western Shoshone Nation. The issue was addressed by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), which in January of 2003 sentenced in a final report by the Commission that the United States claims to Western Shoshone land are illegal and contrary to international human rights law. The IACHR also concluded that the United States had used illegitimate means to assert ownership of the lands.

Said Carrie Dann, "It's disgraceful how the United States makes international statements about human rights and then commits this kind of assault in our own frontyard. It destroys their credibility and moral authority".

After an exhaustive review, the Commission concluded that the United States has been violating the human rights of the Western Shoshone, including the right to equality before the law, the right to judicial protection and due process, and the right to property. The ruling was highly critical of the Indian Claims Commission’s handling of the Dann Sisters’ case. It is the first time that the US has been formally found in violation of international human rights in its treatment of Indigenous Peoples within its border.

In attempt to silence the opposition by the Western Shoshone Nation to the theft and illegal mineral expropriation of Western Shoshone territories, third largest gold producing area in the world, the Bush administration has moved to silence the legitimate land claims of the Western Shoshone under the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty with a domestic monetary settlement which the Western Shoshone call a fraud and illegal act of aggression against the Western Shoshone Nation.

Western Shoshone Nation Challenges Bush Administration

Please read the following request from Earthworks calling for your help on the No Dirty Gold Campaign. The Western Shoshone Defense Project is a partner in the No Dirty Gold Campaign with Oxfam America and Earthworks. We are networked with partner communities from Peru to Ghana. The campaign highlights the impacts of gold mining on local communities, in particular the Western Shoshone. Western Shoshone lands are the 3rd largest gold producing area in the world, behind only South Africa and Australia –

One mountain alone, Mt. Tenabo in Crescent Valley, which Congressman Gibbons has slated for a privatization scheme (HR 2869) to Placer Dome (5th largest gold company in the world) has estimated revenues of $7-8 billion. Other multinationals mining in our area include Barrick, Kennecott, Newmont and Marigold. The Bush Administration is heavily tied to the mining industry and we are now threatened by renewed notices of intent to impound Western Shoshone livestock and IRS action against Western Shoshone traditionals. We are also attaching an emergency defender form if you are able to volunteer in any other way. Thank you. http://www.nodirtygold.org.



Dear Student,

You probably already know that each fall and spring, class rings companies start setting up shop on campus to take orders for class rings. What you might not know is where the gold in those rings comes from, and how it was mined and produced.

Gold comes at a heavy price, costing the planet and its people much more than the metal is worth. One of the world's dirtiest industries, gold mining can leave a long-lasting scar on communities, workers, and the environment in places as diverse as Nevada, Ghana, Peru, and Indonesia.

80 percent of all gold is used to make jewelry -- including university class rings. As socially active students, we hope you'll join the No Dirty Gold campaign in driving much-needed reform of the mining industry. Leading retailers of class rings companies, such as Jostens, Balfour, and ArtCarved, must be held accountable for the gold they use in their products. After all, which student wants the symbol of his or her alma mater to be tarnished with dirty gold?

Whether you are purchasing a ring or not, seize this opportunity to deliver a message to the ring representative on your campus urging them to source gold that is more responsibly-produced. There are several ways you can help. One is to organize a tabling event or action outside your college bookstore (or ring sales location). We have all the materials that you will need to organize an action or table:

* a toolkit for student organizers

* informational brochures

* fact sheets

* post cards

* t-shirts

* banners

Check out our website at http://www.nodirtygold.org for more information!

We hope you'll join us in helping students leverage their consumer power over the international mining industry! Send us an email at classrings@nodirtygold.org or give us a call at 202-887-1872 x 202.


Best,

by Chris Edwards

Chris Edwards is director of fiscal policy studies at the Cato Institute.

Executive Summary

The federal government is headed toward a financial crisis as a result of chronic overspending, large deficits, and huge future cost increases in Social Security and Medicare. Social Security and Medicare would be big fiscal challenges even if the rest of the government were lean and efficient, but the budget is littered with wasteful and unnecessary programs.

In recent years, mismanagement scandals have occurred in many federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Energy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Even the National Zoo in Washington has recently been shaken by scandal. The $2.3 trillion federal government has simply become too big for Congress to oversee.

The good news is that Americans do not need such a big government. Most federal programs are unconstitutional, unnecessary, actively damaging, or properly the responsibility of state governments or the private sector. This study analyzes programs that could be cut to create annual budget savings of $300 billion. If these cuts were phased in over five years, the budget would be balanced by fiscal year 2009 with all of President Bush's tax cuts in place.

Some reform ideas should be applied throughout the government. Business subsidies should be terminated, and commercial activities should be privatized. Also, federal grants to the states should be scaled back. Currently, a complex array of 716 grant programs disgorges more than $400 billion annually to state and local governments, which become strangled in federal regulations. That form of "trickle-down" economics is very inefficient.

Such reforms were on the agenda in the Reagan administration and in the Republican Congress of the mid-1990s. But the need for spending cuts is even more acute today because of the large fiscal imbalances that loom from projected growth in entitlement costs. Spending cuts would not just balance the budget; they would also increase individual freedom and expand the economy. All federal spending displaces private spending, but many federal programs actively damage the economy, cause social ills, despoil the environment, or restrict liberty as well.

Given the government's record of mismanaged and damaging programs reviewed in this report, policymakers should be far more skeptical about the government's ability to solve problems with higher spending.

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." - Quote from the US Constitution.

The US Constitution's policies are not reality in the USA. Justice doesn't always prevail. It's at the option of the powers that be. Often unjust court decisions are made by judges, district attorneys, lawyers, and magistrates. That results in violations of constitutional rights, motion churning causing excessive legal fees due to the unjust court decisions, and not protecting crime victims resulting in additional terrible crimes upon people that could have been prevented.

There is no domestic tranquility in the USA. The rampant crime that has been going on for decades is keeping us from having tranquility. Although you may have heard some elected officials speak of protecting Americans, the crime facts, statistics, and case examples of court corruption revealed at websites I've built proves we are not being protected. Many more Americans are terrorized, attacked, inflicted with pain and injuries, disabled, and robbed of their lives with perpetrators being Americans than foreign terrorists. That reality has been ignored by our elected officials even though they've been notified about this matter. Unless there are wise reforms of the USA court system, with the way the USA court system is run now 5 out of 6 Americans will be victims of violent crimes during their lifetime. To read more details go to this website:

http://www.angelfire.com/stars4/wisdomforcourts

The 2nd Amendment right to bear arms is useful for Americans to better enable them to protect themselves and their families from criminals. Although I've read about studies proving that in areas where people are allowed to bear arms there is less crime, there is still much violent crime that requires to be dealt with using other methods. Some people, for example children, some disabled people, and some elderly people don't have the capacity to use weapons to protect themselves. Sometimes women have the capacity to use weapons to protect themselves from criminals and sometimes they don't depending upon circumstances. Often women become victims of violent crimes in the home with perpetrators being people they thought they could trust. Subsequently, they weren't prepared to defend themselves. There have been murders of people when they were asleep - absolutely no opportunity for self-defense in those cases.

Due to these vulnerabilities that affect people more than the 2nd Amendment is needed. We need a court system where all of the judges will always enforce wise laws, always honor the evidence, always rescue crime victims from perpetrators, and always run the courts in such a way as to discourage crimes. We need state legislatures that will make and put into practice needed wise court and law reforms that will work to get a handle on the court system inadequacies, incompetence, and corruption that allow unjust court decisions and violent crimes not being dealt with properly.

Over a period of more than 20 years individual citizen activists and small groups of citizen activists have often lobbied the elected officials, which are mainly from the Democrat and Republican parties, but they brush us off - providing no representation.

Subsequently, elections aren't making a difference for these serious societal problems. However, we must not give up as other methods of citizen activism will work. Having observed that the elected officials do listen to requests of a large organized group of citizen activists, I have decided to start such a large organized group of citizen activists. I have also prepared websites to educate people with crime statistics, facts, and case examples of court system inadequacies, incompetence, and corruption. The hope is that citizens will be inspired to become volunteer citizen activists for this court and law reforms movement.

A yahoo group forum has been set up. This is a good place to relate your knowledge and opinions, unjust court experiences you have had or other people have had, crimes experienced by you, your family, and friends, crimes and court cases in current or past news, present and discuss proposed court and law reforms, join in networking and strategizing for this court and law reforms movement. Sign up for this yahoo group forum at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wisepeople

Please spread this message far, such as by forwarding this e-mail to many people such as family, friends, acquaintances, people on business mailing lists, professional association lists, club member lists, church member lists, and any other lists you may have. Then they will have access to read the information and hopefully forward this e-mail to even more people. By using this viral advertising method as I have just described for this cause there is hope to grow this cause to be just as powerful as large organized groups such as AARP. Everyday Americans are becoming victims of terrible crimes, terrorized, inflicted with pain and injuries, and sometimes disabilities and robbed of their lives due to court system inadequacies, incompetence, and corruption. The sooner we build the powerful large organized group we need to have influence with the elected officials the better. Thank you for any assistance.

Computer glitch still baffles county clerk

By Kristin Miller, The News-Dispatch

LaPORTE - The day after a two-and-a-half-hour delay in counting ballots due to a glitch in a computer program, LaPorte County election officials are still trying to figure out what happened. "Maybe there was a power surge," LaPorte County Clerk Lynne Spevak said. "Something zapped it."

At about 7 p.m. Tuesday, it was noticed that the first two or three printouts from individual precinct reports all listed an identical number of voters. Each precinct was listed as having 300 registered voters.

That means the total number of voters for the county would be 22,200, although there are actually more than 79,000 registered voters.

Vote counting resumed at about 9:30 p.m.

Spevak said workers at the clerk's office thought a computer correction could be done once they received a software patch from Election Systems and Software, the Chicago company that provided the tabulation software. However, the patch did not work.

"We thought we could get a copy of it e-mailed file to us and start all over, but once the program was downloaded from Chicago, it still didn't work right," Spevak said.

Spevak said the Board of Election was in contact with Indianapolis to see if they could certify the vote. She said Wednesday that LaPorte County election officials might have to manually input the information so that the ballots could be certified with the state.

Stung by defeat, puzzled and adrift, Democrats spent much of the past week turning to history, looking back at the great many-colored tapestry of the American past, in order to find where we -- the people -- find ourselves, now that George W. Bush has been reelected. And after consulting textbooks, and opening biographical dictionaries, and talking to some of the most renowned figures in the American academy, they have settled on an answer: America is on the brink of civil war...

155,000 Ballots Uncounted in Ohio; More Votes than Voters in Some Precincts

The article below reports that "Ohio election officials said Monday that they would begin this week the final count of 155,428 provisional ballots and an unknown number of overseas absentee ballots that were cast in the presidential election." The article claims "irregularities and problems have cropped up nonetheless. On Friday, officials in Franklin County — which includes state capital Columbus — acknowledged that they may have improperly counted votes for Bush because of a touch-screen voting system malfunction. A precinct in the county reported that a 4,000-vote margin won by Bush appeared to exceed the number of registered voters."

MSNBC: One Ohio County had 93,000 More Votes than Voters

Buried in the article below is this interesting diamond. Here are the "remarkable results out of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. In 29 precincts there, the County’s website shows, we had the most unexpected results in years: more votes than voters. I’ll repeat that: more votes than voters. 93,000 more votes than voters. Oops. Talk about successful get-out-the-vote campaigns! What a triumph for democracy in Fairview Park, twelve miles west of downtown Cleveland. Only 13,342 registered voters there, but they cast 18,472 votes." Obvious discrepancies such as this should be investigated because they may have impacted the outcome of the election.

Wir leben nicht über unsere Verhältnisse, sondern unter unseren
Möglichkeiten

Arbeitszeitverlängerung, weniger Urlaub und weniger Feiertage sollen den Bundeshauhalt entlasten beziehungsweise den Aufschwung bringen. Abgesehen davon, dass die Verzichtsforderungen ausschließlich an die Adresse der abhängig Beschäftigten gehen, sind sie weder begründbar, noch Erfolg versprechend. Wir leben nicht über unsere Verhältnisse, sondern unter unseren Möglichkeiten, meint Harald Werner, der gewerkschaftspolitische Sprecher des Parteivorstandes.

Nach dem weder die Hartz-Gesetze, noch die drastischen Steuergeschenke, die den Unternehmen in den vergangen Jahren ausgereicht wurden, für Wachstum und Beschäftigung sorgen konnten, will die rot-grüne Bundesregierung die Dosis der unwirksamen Rezeptur nochmals erhöhen. Weil in Eichels Steuerbilanz ein neues fünf Milliarden Loch klafft und das Staatsdefizit wieder einmal über der Maastricht-Grenze liegt, setzen Bundesregierung und Arbeitgeber wieder einmal auf längere Arbeitszeiten und sinkende Lohnkosten. Immer lauter wird die Behauptung, dass Deutschland über seine Verhältnisse lebt. Die Begründung hält allerdings keiner Überprüfung stand, wenn man sie auf diejenigen anwendet, von denen neue Opfer verlangt werden. Die Arbeitseinkommen der abhängig Beschäftigten befinden sich seit drei Jahren im Sinkflug und ihre Kaufkraft liegt inzwischen um 2,8 Prozent unter dem Niveau von 1991. Und während die Arbeitsleistung je Beschäftigten um 16,7 Prozent zunahm, sank die Zahl der bezahlten Arbeitsstunden in Folge des Stellenabbaus um rund acht Prozent, so dass schon seit einem guten Jahrzehnt für weniger Geld länger gearbeitet wird. Mehr Arbeitsplätze hat das nicht gebracht, eher das Gegenteil.

Wenn hierzulande jemand über unsere Verhältnisse lebt, dann sind es die Bezieher von Gewinn- und Vermögenseinkommen, die im gleichen Zeitraum, in dem die Arbeitseinkommen stagnierten oder abnahmen, um fast 60 Prozent gestiegen sind. Hauptsächlich deshalb, weil die Produktivitätsfortschritte einseitig an die Bezieher von Gewinneinkommen weiter gereicht wurden. Fast mehr noch allerdings durch Eichels Steuergeschenke. Nun haben die Steuerschätzer die Quittung präsentiert und was fordert die Bundesregierung? Die Beschäftigten sollen auf Feier- und Urlaubtage verzichten, um zum gleichen Geld mehr zu produzieren.

Nicht nur sozial gerechter, sondern vor allem sinnvoller wäre allerdings eine Rückkehr zur leistungsgerechten Besteuerung. Eine Korrektur der Unternehmenssteuerreform und die Wiedererhebung der Vermögenssteuer würde nämlich nicht nur Eichels Haushaltsloch schließen, sondern obendrein Mittel für staatliche Investitionen einbringen, mit denen dann wiederum neue Arbeitsplätze geschaffen würden. Und weil die Bundesregierung darauf verzichtet, lebt dieses Land nicht über seine Verhältnisse, sondern unter seinen Möglichkeiten.

The undervotes are an unknown quantity at this point -- they would probably be counted only in a recount. The mysterious 97,000 extra votes in Cuyahoga may have an innocent explanation having to do with them assigning all the absentee ballots for a certain area to one precinct when they count the totals. Still a strange way to do math, and I'm not convinced it's 100% kosher even now, but the "extra votes" do correlate with the number of absentee ballots reported, so as long as *those* are legit (at this point I'm not 100% convinced anything is legit), that particular mystery is solved.

I do think they need to recount Ohio, period. Even though they aren't done counting yet, they just plain need a recount regardless, and preferably a hand-recount in some precincts. We need to know what's really there.

November 8, 2004

George Bush didn’t waste time. He decided to quickly use his “political capital” to widen the war in Iraq by launching an all-out assault on Falluja. We know you are all exhausted from the election work, but we can’t let this attack happen without protesting the horrendous escalation of violence.

As we write, U.S. warplanes are dropping huge bombs on civilian neighborhoods, and ground troops are entering the city. One hospital, Nazzal Emergency Hospital, was destroyed in an air strike; another, Falluja General Hospital, has been seized by U.S. forces, making it unlikely that injured civilians will be able to go there for treatment. The estimated 50,000 civilians who remain in Falluja lack running water, electricity, and food.

There will undoubtedly be many civilian injuries and deaths: during the last siege of Falluja in April, at least 600 Iraqis were killed, most of them civilians. The death toll is expected to be high on the U.S. side as well: Marine commanders have warned that deaths among U.S. forces could reach levels not seen since the Vietnam War.

The U.S. assault on Falluja is a catastrophic action that will result in horrific and unnecessary bloodshed, fuel anger and resentment against the U.S., and swell the ranks of terrorist groups rather than eradicating terrorism. We need to raise our voices in opposition to this attack, insist that the U.S. return to peace negotiations, and call for our troops to be brought home now.

Please consider taking one of the following actions:

ORGANIZE ACTIONS THIS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

We need to be vocal and visible in our opposition to the assault on Falluja. Organize actions this week outside local Congressional offices, while Congress is in recess, or in a high-profile location in your community.

Be sure to list your actions on the United for Peace and Justice calendar ( http://www.unitedforpeace.org ) so we can publicize and amplify all of our voices.

Ideas for action include:

* candlelight vigils to mourn the deaths that will be caused by this attack

* creative/visual street protests that use coffins or enlarged images of Iraqi civilian casualties or people dressed as bloodied and bandaged civilians or soldiers

* sit-ins inside Congressional offices

* meetings with members of Congress

* collaborations with Veterans For Peace groups on Veterans Day events (Thursday, 11/11), emphasizing the message that in order to support our future veterans, we need to get them out of Falluja and out of Iraq

* holding banners (pink, of course) and/or distributing leaflets at busy intersections, shopping districts, or other high-traffic locations

CONTACT LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS

Flood your local media outlets with messages of opposition to the assault on Falluja, and demand that they talk about the civilians who are being killed and injured. Millions of people listen to talk radio every day: organize people to call the shows in your area and speak out. Write letters to the editor and send in opinion pieces. Ask reporters if they would like to interview an anti-war activist.

TELL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES YOU OPPOSE THE ASSAULT ON FALLUJA

Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and ask to be transferred to your Representative or Senator.

Get up-to-date news from Iraq by subscribing to Occupation Watch’s email list at http://www.occupationwatch.org.

Thank you for taking the time to show your horror at the escalating violence and call for an end to the US occupation of Iraq.


In peace,
Andrea, Claire, Dana, Gael, Jodie, Medea, Nancy, Tiffany
