Judith Miller broke the story of a secret cabinet level experiment named “Scarlet Cloud”, in the NY Times on Dec. 28th. Miller writes that officials stated the exercise “…showed that antibiotics in some cities could not be distributed and administered quickly enough and that a widespread attack could kill thousands” – she referred to anthrax.

So what is the solution? Judith doesn’t go into this in her piece, but if you read her epic book “Germs” and pay close attention, you clearly see what the “solution” is in the minds of DARPA.

Bush Concealed Iraqi Chemical Weapons Plant in Florida which shipped WMD to Saddam Just Prior to Gulf War I

Members of the Bush 41 cabinet held sizeable and conflicting financial positions in Gulf War-related companies. And the results of a financial assets analysis by his Attorney General, Richard Thornburgh, forced the elder Bush to employ a "conflict of interest waiver" -- kept secret from Congress -- to absolve his cabinet from future culpability or prosecution should Congress or surviving Gulf War military families ever question or litigate their private and/or undisclosed financial links to Iraq.

Shockingly, Houston's Baker &Botts; law firm -- owned by George Bush Sr.'s Secretary of State James Baker -- was mentioned in a billing statement ( for legal services rendered ) by a Florida chemical company headed by an Iraqi terrorist and bio-chemical engineer. The Iraqi -- Ihsan Barbouti -- had close ties to World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, but was also the main contractor for the Rabta chemical weapons plant in terrorist Libya.

BBCI-Bakhsh-Bush: "Conspiracy Art" by Mark Lombardi

Of Friendsters and Foes

Much is being made lately of the FBI's phone call to the Whitney Museum in the immediate aftermath of the 9-11 attacks requesting access to Mark Lombardi's drawing BCCI, ICIC & FAB (1996-2000). This piece, the last work the artist made before he was found dead in his studio in March 2000, an apparent suicide at age 49, represents the tangled web of power and influence that comprised the largest banking scandal in history—in which an impenetrable network of holding companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and banks-within-banks laundered billions of dollars while supporting terrorism, arms and drug trafficking, and prostitution.

The names of Saddam Hussein and George H.W. Bush, among many other high- and low-profile world figures, are connected by a network of delicate, yet potently insinuating, pencil lines. The FBI agent who called was informed that the work was on view in the museum's galleries, where he was welcome to see it during it during regular museum hours.

A visit to the current Mark Lombardi exhibition at the Drawing Center (35 Wooster Street, through December 18) by an affiliate of the Homeland Security Agency has also raised eyebrows in the art world. More at Village Voice

Joint Task Force Told Face to Face, Blackout was a Military Test

At an under publicized public comment meeting, which was publicly ‘announced’ by a Department of Energy news release, Michael Kane outlined his report, published at Global Free Press, stating that the August 14th blackout was part and parcel to a multi-faceted military test. The Task Force was very attentive, attempting to take notes as fast as Michael spoke.

Pilots Didn't Radio Air Force One, Airline Says

British Airways said yesterday that none of its pilots made contact with President Bush's plane during its secret flight to Baghdad on Thanksgiving, contradicting White House reports of a midair exchange that nearly prompted Bush to call off his trip.

Honor Verrier, a spokeswoman for British Airways in North America, said two British Airways aircraft were in the area at the time and neither radioed the president's plane to ask if it was Air Force One.

"We have spoken to the British Airways captains who were in the area at the time and neither made comments to Air Force One nor did they hear any other aircraft make the statement over the radio," Verrier said.

Mystery surrounds death of State Dept. Official

Kokal's INR bureau was at the forefront of confronting claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction

In a case eerily reminiscent of the death of British Ministry of Defense bio-weapons expert, Dr. David Kelly, an official of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research Near East and South Asian division (INR/NESA), John J. Kokal, 58, was found dead in the late afternoon of November 7.

Interestingly, the FOX report states that State Department officials confirmed Kokal's death to The Washington Post yet the Post - according to an archive search - has published nothing at all about Kokal's death.

First Energy : Blackout Scapegoat

Cyber terrorism has been ruled out as a cause of the 411-blackout in the 134 page Interim report released yesterday.

The entire report blames First Energy Corp. for the blackout, but never once even considers the possibility (let alone investigates the possibility) that Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) could have caused the blackout. In turn, the fact that HAARP was turned on at precisely 4pm on August 14th, 2003, and has the capability of producing EMP, was not examined either.

Vialls: Part 2 of his "Vaporize Scenario"

What's the real deal with Joe Vialls? Most times attacked for his controversial and distractive propaganda-slang or some obscure (misinfo-)spins of scientific details of Sep11th. With his latest shot, he attracted many new readers, here now at GFP with Pt.2
Is he a construct of multiple "intelligence" personalties, are his articles "based on a PsyOP-MI5-experiment" and what does "Vialls" really know about the Khodorkowski-Rothschildt connection and Operation Shekhinah?

Vladimir Putin hammers the final nail into Israel’s coffin

JoeVialls -16 November 2003 When Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested in Russia and his Yukos oil assets seized, the process represented far more than simple payback against the most powerful Zionist Jew in Moscow. At a single stroke, President Vladimir Putin ensured future Russian national security, consolidated several former republics of the old Soviet Union, and most important of all, eternally blocked Israel’s attempts to use “free” Yukos oil to drive its engines of war across the entire Middle East.

Within hours of Khodorkovsky’s arrest in Siberia, his principal Yukos lieutenants fled Russia for Israel, whining in Tel Aviv about “expedited Israeli citizenship rights”, and offering officials of the Jewish State unlimited quantities of Russian crude oil if they were guaranteed swift sanctuary. In their desperation to save themselves, the Yukos lieutenants accidentally lifted the veil on a top-secret Israeli big-bore oil pipeline network.

Partly funded by Baron Edmond Rothschild in the fifties and sixties, the pipeline was initially designed and built to import vast quantities of free crude oil from Iran, courtesy of Zionist puppet Reza Shah. Officially of course, the main pipeline running from Eilat to Ashkelon was designed to allow Iranian crude oil to bypass the Suez Canal for sale in Mediterranean and other European markets, but this was only a cosmetic cover. Most of the oil imported at Eilat never left Israel again, but found its way instead to major refineries within the Jewish State. We will return to the intriguing skullduggery of the early years later in this report...

Features: David Kelly and Victoria's Secret

No, it’s not the Victoria’s Secret of the soft porn lingerie ads. This is a different Victoria who may have innocently provided the final impetus for the assassination of David Kelly.

In Part I of this writer’s *article, “the Murder of David Kelly” we detailed the numerous red flags in the evidence and testimony submitted at the Hutton inquiry into Kelly’s death that showed conclusively that his death was not a suicide. One of the more important “clues” was evidence that his body had been moved after he died to the scene in which it was found. Other testimony showed it to be very doubtful that Kelly had inflicted the knife wounds on his left wrist that severed an unlikely artery but left the most easily reached artery untouched.

The White House war with the CIA

Salon -November 8

Author Thomas Powers, an expert on U.S. spy agencies, wonders who will take the rap for 9/11 and the "horrific, calamitous" mistake in Iraq.

By Mark Follman

Nov. 8, 2003 | While the nation's attention is focused on the slow-motion deterioration of Iraq, the White House for months has been at war on the home front -- clashing repeatedly with the CIA in a rare series of public disagreements. They've fought over intelligence that seemed to predict the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

They've fought over whether Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. They've fought over a seemingly vindictive White House leak that identified an undercover CIA agent.

According to Thomas Powers, a widely respected authority on the nation's spy business, that conflict has put the CIA -- and U.S. national security -- in peril.

"I think the agency is in terrible shape because of this," Powers told Salon in an interview. "It appears now that the CIA is actually incapable of operating in a hostile environment. It's afraid."

The CIA's secret activities, covert missions, and connections of control are all done under the pretense and protection of national security with no accountability whatsoever, at least in their minds.

Considering the public is held accountable for everything we think, say, and do there is something seriously wrong with this picture. The CIA is the President's secret army, who have been and continue to be conveniently above the law with unlimited power and authority, to conduct a reign of terror around the globe.
