"Ah,
excuse me, Mr. President, just one more question¼"
Detective Columbo asks: Was 9-11 an inside
job?
"Crimes are committed for many
reasons. Columbo always sought a motive, taking nothing for granted.
Neither was anyone--no matter how powerful--exempt from suspicion in
Columbo's mind. Although they would dismiss him as an 'annoying little
man,' the chief mistake the rich and powerful perpetrator always seemed
to make was to take detective Columbo too lightly. Just as Four 9/11
Moms Battle Bush—another group of citizens also taken lightly, if at
all--we can almost picture the dogged determination of these four
average women, trying to discover just what happened on 911, exactly as
that truthseeker, Columbo would have done. You see, governments would
prefer we all just go away and not ask any questions. Ever."
Ashcroft 'to defend' Patriot Act
"Attorney General John Ashcroft says the Justice Department is likely to
appeal against a court ruling attacking the Patriot Act as
unconstitutional."
Loopy links
"Just because certain lifestyle or dietary habits, laboratory values or
numbers on the scale, rise or fall in synch or appear together, doesn't
mean they have anything to do with each other. Yet, we hear assertions
made every day by mainstream scientists and medical professionals,
reputable healthcare organizations, public policy makers and, most of
all, media in which correlations are used as proof of a cause."

Mercury and autism
"Investigators have shown that there is a direct relationship between
increasing doses of mercury in vaccines and autism. In the 1950s, with
an immunization schedule limited to four vaccines (against diphtheria,
tetanus, pertussis, and smallpox), 1 in 10,000 children developed this
disease. As vaccines for other diseases were added, health care
providers began injecting increasingly larger doses of mercury into
children."
SEPTEMBER 28
BOOK REVIEW:
Leo Strauss and the Politics of American Empire
"Norton makes quick work of Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan, two
influential neoconservatives who, among other things, edited a book on
foreign policy called
Present Dangers.
'Present Dangers is not a conservative work,' Norton writes. 'The
regard for tradition, for the slow growth of custom that Burke
commended, the respect for long-established practices are abandoned
here. In their place is an enthusiasm for innovation, for intervention,
for utopias. Nothing can wait, everything must be done now. No one need
be consulted….'"

Establishment
media plagued by "coincidence theorists"
"The dark thread of secret agendas
and unspeakable acts that runs like a subterranean stream through the
last half-century of American history—and which has turned into a river
under this most secretive of presidential administrations—would not have
been possible without the outright cooperation of the media.¼"
Mexican border czar seeks open border
"Mexico's newest border czar wants to

with no checkpoints." (RN 24/7: )

How
Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
"George Bush's grandfather, the
late U.S. Senator
Prescott_Bush,
was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their
involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.¼
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were
seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than
60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany
against the Bush family by two former slave laborers at Auschwitz and to
a hum of pre-election controversy."

A funny thing happened on the way to "The
Truth"
"I am a conservative Republican who has come to the conclusion over the
past 12 months that I would not vote for Bush Cheney 2004 under bribe,
duress or at gunpoint. I have come to that conclusion for many reasons
that are well documented and in some instances is information that is
known only to myself and several executives that I work with."
Kerry's brother says he'll review Pollard sentence "Cameron Kerry is pledging his brother John would review the sentence of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, who received a life sentence in 1985 after pleading guilty of passing classified documents to Israel." (RN 24/7: You don't think that this had anything to do with the announcement, do you? Nahhh!)
Pentagon panel sees need of more U.S.
troops
"Pentagon-appointed panel of outside experts has concluded in a new
study that the American military does not have sufficient forces to
sustain current and anticipated stability operations, like the festering
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and other missions that might arise. "
(RN 24/7: Which gives President Bush the
all the plausible deniability he needs to be able to say that, while
he's against reestablishing the Draft and prefers an all-volunteer
military, such figures don't leave him any choice. Of course, that won't
happen until after he's reelected.)

Joseph Sobran:
Equality run amok
"In a recent column I made an
observation about the vocal 'gay community' that may bear amplification.
On the one hand, these advocates tell us — us presumptive 'straights' —
that people’s 'sexual orientation' should be of no concern to us.
Then they turn around and tell us that their 'orientation' is the most
important thing in the world to them — the very source of their
'identity' and a matter of 'pride.'"
Eyeing Iran Reactors, Israel
Seeks U.S. Bunker Bombs
"The United States plans to sell Israel $319 million worth of
air-launched bombs, including 500 'bunker busters' that could be
effective against Iran's underground nuclear facilities, Israeli
security sources said on Tuesday."
The American Civil Liberties Union: Hello
ACLU! Goodbye God!
"Over the years ACLU has fought prayers in schools, school vouchers,
public school teachers assigned to religious schools (read: Catholic) to
supplement instruction in non-religious subjects, release time for
Catholic School parents to send their children for religious education,
lunches for religious schools and school buses for children in parochial
schools. " (RN 24/7: A visit to the

Solutions to the Terrorist Threat
"On September 11, 2001, the federal government failed in the most
important of its few constitutionally enumerated functions — protecting

Flight 93, and the heroic efforts of state and local police, firemen,

Wage
"Data from the most recent census¼
reveal that those who are officially classified as 'poor' by the United
States government possess a surprising amount of wealth.¼46%
own their own home and 76% have air conditioning. More than 66% of the
'poor' have more than two rooms of living space per person. In fact, the
average "poor" United States citizen has more living space that the
average citizen (not 'poor' citizen) living in Austria, Belgium, France,
Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the
United Kingdom; 97% of the official American 'poor' own a color
television and over half own more than one; 62% of the "poor" have
either cable or satellite television.¼"
Something explosive in Kerry's hidden FBI
records?
"Kerry continues to refuse to release his complete military records
which would answer a number of important questions about his service,
his medals, and what happened after he returned from Vietnam. So why
isn’t the mainstream media pounding on Kerry to get his military
records?¼Lurking
just around the corner are some federal records which may have an even
greater impact on Kerry’s bid for the presidency, but mainstream
investigative journalists are avoiding this issue like the plague."

Pollardites in the Pentagon?
Connecting the dots: The latest Israeli spy scandal
"The dots in Washington are connecting. It’s not a pretty sight. Last
week, a two-year FBI investigation of alleged Israeli efforts to have
American neoconservatives manipulate US Mideast policy leaked to the
media. The leak, said some sources, thwarted a deeper FBI investigation
into involvement by Israeli officials and sympathizers."

The "new European Soviet"
"When former Soviet dictator
Mikhail Gorbachev visited Britain in 2000, he accurately described the
European Union as 'the new European Soviet.' He said this with obvious
approval, since he sees the evolving EU as fulfilling his vision of a
'common European home' stretching 'from the Atlantic to the Urals,' as
he described it in his 1987 book Perestroika. Mr. Gorbachev is a
lifelong Communist overlord who has steadfastly refused to renounce

Congressman John Conyers:
Congress must investigate spy scandal
"I write to ask that the Judiciary Committee commence an immediate full
investigation and examine substantial and credible evidence that
Pentagon officials have engaged in criminal wrongdoing in their handling
of classified material and have engaged in unauthorized covert
activities.¼"
(RN24/7: If ever a federal pronouncement deserved an A+ grade for careful political correctness, then this is it. Rep. Conyers writes at some length about how the FBI is currently investigating "whether a Pentagon analyst, Larry Franklin, illegally passed along a classified document involving the policy of the United States toward Iran" and how "[t]he fact that a rogue element of the United States government may have been working with a foreign government in possible contravention of current foreign policy is a grave matter that should be of concern to every American." He goes on to say that the House Judiciary Committee should look into the matter by asking certain questions, such as to whether Pentagon officials illegally gave classified information to members of the Iraqi National Congress or the now discredited exile leader Ahmad Chalabi or if they had unauthorized and illegal meetings with Iranian and Syrian nationals and the head of Italian intelligence. In short, Rep. Conyers succeeds in accomplishing a quite stupendous feat: He writes ten paragraphs concerning what even the controlled media has called an Israeli spy scandal without even once mentioning the nation of Israel! [The closest he gets is when he states that "a rogue element of the United States government may have been working with a foreign government¼" Emphasis added] This can be nothing other than a deliberate, studied attempt on his part to avoid sounding like he's stepping on Zionist toes. The fact that he's recognized as a pro-Palestinian voice in Congress, who through 2002 has received over $12,000 in campaign contributions from pro-Arab PACs [see section near bottom of link] and even has a translate this page to Arabic link on his congressional website [see just under his "Alerts" box on right hand side] no doubt plays a large part in his to omit any such reference for fear of being accused of urging the investigation out of anti-Israeli prejudice and having the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] and other pro-Zionist groups go after him as the key target to defeat if he runs for reelection. Ironically, the FBI has looked at AIPAC as possibly a conduit for the passing of classified American intelligence information to Israel. So, Rep. Conyers' reticence to be more specific is perfectly understandable. By the way, one more curious note: As far was we could see after a brief perusal, his website contains no mention whatsoever of the above-linked pronouncement!)
