DC Insiders Pass The Plame Hot Potato

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The criminals running the Executive branch are in a conspiracy with the media owners to confuse people about the Valerie Plame CIA outing trial. Today, the reporters and the press are trying to convince people, EVERYONE in DC knew about this so no one 'leaked' it. This is ridiculous on all levels. Arrest everyone, if this is true (heh).

It is always someone else who did it and of course, all parties involved in this crime knew who did what from day one but they all hope their collective amnesia when questioned will save them.

Newsweek takes a look at the CIA leaker "you've never heard of." Testifying on the stand as a defense witness at former White House aide I. Lewis Libby's hearing, columnist Robert Novak said that he was not only told by his friend, conservative lobbyist Richard F. Hohlt, that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA, but that he also allowed him to "vet" his notorious July of 2003 column.

Newsweek reports that Hohlt even 'leaked' Novak's "outing" column directly to President Bush's Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, before it had been published.

And how in the hell did this guy, Hohlt, know Valerie Plame worked for the CIA? Did she tell him? If so, why wasn't this clown still arrested? When Bush himself said famously that he wanted to 'get to the bottom of this' and anyone involved would be fired, the lack of action has been stunning, no? When Libby was selected to fall on his sword for Cheney, we all knew this was totally fake. We knew when we saw how Libby was literally laughing at us and at the prosecutor, this was all an elaborate joke.

Of course, in this little tidbit from the warmongering Washington Post, is typically murky.

Novak took the stand this afternoon and testified that he learned about Plame's CIA role from Armitage and confirmed the information with White House senior adviser Karl Rove.

Defense attorney Theodore Wells Jr. pressed Novak to say that hundreds of reporters and others could have known about what was going to appear in his July 14 column in the days preceding its publication because the material was sent over the Associated Press wire on July 11 or July 12. Novak also said he discussed the information about Wilson's wife with a close friend, conservative lobbyist Richard Hohlt on July 11.

This is an old ploy used by school-yard bullies: they need a fall guy because their nasty attacks were reported to the Principal so they send the little geeky guy who hangs out with them to take the punishment. Everyone can plainly see, the little geeky pencil-necked kid with glasses didn't beat up the other kid to a pulp and he is let go and no one does anything and they then ambush whoever ratted on them.

Well, this is ridiculous. Now that the prosecutor knows who the criminals are, arrest them! Of course, they think they are home free since it is OK to tell him after hiding the truth. Nayaanayyy...foooled ya! This little game is treason. Because according to Bush Sr who signed the 'Thou shalt not out undercover CIA agents or thou shalt go to prison' law.

Let's look at the latest fall-guy, Mr. Hohlt:

Hohlt was very useful to the Bushes and advanced rapidly under Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.

Appointment of Richard F. Hohlt as a Member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council

May 19, 1983

The President today announced his intention to appoint Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council. He will succeed Harry E. Sokolov.

His star, utterly obscure to regular Americans, rises rapidly:

June 28, 1985

The President today announced his intention to nominate Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, United States International Development Cooperation Agency, for a term expiring December 17, 1987. He would succeed William G. Simpson.
Since 1980 Mr. Hohlt has been with the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and is currently serving as senior vice president for government affairs. Previously, he was vice president for government affairs (1982 - 1984) and assistant vice president for government affairs (1980 - 1982). He was Executive Assistant to U.S. Senator Richard G. Lugar in 1977 - 1980; deputy campaign manager for Dick Lugar for Senate Committee in 1976 - 1977; and assistant to Mayor Richard G. Lugar of Indianapolis in 1975 - 1976. Prior to that time, he was assistant to the Marion County treasurer in Indianapolis and was the city controller's internal auditor/systems analyst.

Up and up, to where the money lives, he goes:

Nomination of Richard F. Hohlt To Be a Member of the Board of Directors of the Student Loan Marketing Association
January 5th, 1990

The President today announced his intention to nominate Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Student Loan Marketing Association. He would succeed Donald E. Roch.

Currently Mr. Hohlt serves as senior vice president of government affairs at the United States League of Savings Institutions in Washington, DC. Prior to this he served as executive assistant to United States Senator Richard G. Lugar.

He now is a lobbyist and makes lots of loot and he gives some grease back to his buddies and sponsors, the Bushes:

Pledged to raise $100,000

Click here for some of his lobbying information.

So he is obviously a tool of the Bush clan. He gives to them and they open the Treasury and give back to him and then he writes them a check and do I smell a rotting fish here? This is how our dying empire, running deep in the red on every front, is run.

So how did this very obscure but very connected guy get to know Valerie Plame's dark secrets? Did he seduce her? Did he spy on her? Did he learn from gossip?

Whatever means, it is still ILLEGAL. Outing CIA undercover agents was supposed to stop according to these self-same, self-serving Bushes. Are they demanding Rove, Novak and Holt as well as Fleischer and Armitage and all these gangsters be arrested? No?

HAHAHA. This is one big, nasty joke on our nation. They are all in cahoots and they are all in the engine room, stoking the fires, while we ride in the caboose.

Just like the Pentagon and Bush upped the number of sacrificial humans they are feeding into the raging fires in Iraq right after the House voted to condemn this, so it is with the Plame trial: they will now flood the courts with people all crying that they outed Valerie! And they hope the media which is in total cahoots with these coyotes will joyously confuse everything so everyone gives up trying to see the truth, that Cheney AND Bush both orchestrated this crime.

Next: the anthrax attacks. Note how both the media and the criminals running the Executive branch never mention that crime? They love to 9/11 us to death but not a whisper about this ongoing crime, the criminal not found, the CIA and the military implicated but the FBI sitting on their hands?

We know where to look. Under Bush's desk. In his closets where he keeps Geronimo's skull. The media is part of this criminal organization. They have the Democrats on a short leash: they will attack the Democrats nonstop if anyone in that party suggests investigating the media's roll in all these many crimes.

The easy way to begin to untangle all this is to start impeachment hearings. Armed with subpoenas, maybe we can empty this sewer and catch the rats. There are so many involved, we need the Pied Piper.

Wealthy Empires/ Sickly Citizens

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Prison Planet reports Big Brother is a Big Bother in England. Also, UNICEF lists the USA and UK as the two worst 'First World' nations when it comes to caring for children. Our joint empires have a long history of not sharing the wealth.

Britain, home of one of the worst social/economic systems of a 'first world' nation is rapidly becoming a nightmare state where Big Brother is literally everywhere.

Paul Joseph Watson

Tony Blair's toll road surveillance and taxation grid is to be enforced by a new cadre of jackbooted inspectors who will be given powers to stop and search vehicles where owners are suspected to have removed their tracking tags. Arguing with the officials will be punishable by a 6 month prison sentence, according to a leaked government memo.

The British government's mandate for local authorities to institute pilot schemes for a tax by the mile system by 2009, a highly unpopular measure which was recently opposed by over a million signatories to an online Downing Street petition, includes several elements that have been hidden from the population all along. These include; (Long list of provisions that were secret and are infuriating for the Queen's subjects)

The Germans invented the freeway system called the Autobahn. Correction: HITLER instituted this system instead of toll roads. Like most German socialistic systems, the Autobahn was built for military purposes. Bismark launched successful social welfare programs and free education from Kindergarten up to University levels so he could have strong, healthy, smart soldiers who didn't fear death because it might deprive their families.

The German military system was superb and it rested upon a sophisticated socialistic base. The problem with Germany was political: they were diplomatic dopes and violent ones, at that.

The American freeway system is called collectively, the Eisenhower system and it, too, is military. Spoiled by this copycat of Hitler's socialistic systems, the USA drivers have been lulled into thinking we will always have this. As many radical bloggers keep pointing out, our highways are increasingly not free at all and are being sold to foreigners and China wants us to build a huge super-highway from a port in Mexico to Canada and make is totally a toll road and so it goes: we are reverting to pre-Bismarkian economical/social systems that are remarkably like England before WWI.

And England back then was not a very nice place if one wasn't rich.

UNICEF's statistics show the UK is the very worst first-world nation with the USA a close second, when it comes to child welfare and family assistance.

BBC: The UK has been accused of failing its children, as it comes bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrialised countries.

Unicef looked at 40 indicators from the years 2000-2003 including poverty, family relationships, and health.

One of the report's authors told the BBC that under-investment and a "dog-eat-dog" society were to blame for Britain's poor performance.

Both Britain and the USA allow a lot of immigration. The rulers of both nations don't care if hordes of poor people die. 'There is more where they came from,' is the attitude. This was true in Victorian times when 'free trade' and the breaking of unions and diluting native populations with huge immigrations/out-migrations kept populations atomized as individuals.

In slums, many ethnic and religious groups rebuilt their lost cultures and struggled to merge with the two empires while retaining their identities. One or two would rise to wealth and power and some started charities to improve the condition of the poor. This is survival mode: if the poor are sick, they cause plagues and panics. If they are too angry, they can suddenly overturn the government and kill all the nobles! Even sickly and disconnected from any power system, they could suddenly erupt into revolution or riot.

So integrating them into the government's system of controls is most important. The German method was for everyone to be regimented in some fashion through universal service and free education with the carrot being social security. The English/American system was for hiring of mercenaries and the 'dog eat dog' Darwinian struggle for dominance.

To fight the Germans in WWI and WWII, America and Britain had to emulate the Prussian reforms. But this was temporary: much of that philosophy has been ditched and the evil dog-eat-dog system has been re-established which is why we see mercenaries and expensive budgets devoted nearly entirely to imperial rule in distant lands even as the children die at home and family life disintegrates.

Marx and Engels wrote about all this long ago though very few Americans try to understand, much less read, them.

Many writers and commentators were both fascinated and appalled by the ‘London crowd’, including Frederick Engels, who was a great observer of imperial London. He was shocked by the levels of poverty and describes ‘sickly’ and ‘half-starved children’, living in an ‘immense tangle of streets’ and ‘nameless misery’. He noted that even among the better off, ‘the brutal indifference, the unfeeling isolation of each . . . is nowhere so shamelessly bare-faced . . . as just here in the crowding of the great city…’ And, with a premonition of future road and tube journeys: ‘each keeps to his own side of the pavement, so as not to delay the opposing streams of the crowd, while it occurs to no man to honour another with so much as a glance.’ [4]

The USA and UK are facing a future where they know they must eliminate the pathetic few services to their own people and they are preparing us for the plunge into poverty: the empire will, like it did in the previous century, still stand but the natives at home must starve or die or be killed for it because it is not for them, it is for only the elites. And seriously, they hate most of the natives at home.

This is why the USA blandly votes each six months for an extra $100 billion to 'rebuild and secure' a distant land filled with people who hate our empire and hate us and want desperately to destroy us, while at the same time saying, 'There is no money for healthcare for the many millions of uninsured children!'

Clipping our ability to travel freely, seeking hidden taxes like with the various travel scheme permits, the ruling elites are restricting our freedoms and trying to prevent demonstrations and riots. The recent rash of letter bombs in England were probably triggered by anti-Big Brother motorists attacking the authorities.

England's lower classes are restive and difficult, usually self-destructive which is why cameras are now everywhere, yelling at people, spying on them, etc. The need to keep an eye on the despised lower classes is finally causing these same peons to become angry at last. One wonders if they will finally react in the classic fashion which is to rush upon the rich and rip them to shreds.

Tolkien's Lord of the Rings talks about these things.

In 1916 Tolkien was sent to France, where he and his fellow soldiers faced the terrifying new mechanisms of modern warfare—machine guns, tanks, and poison gas—fighting in some of the bloodiest battles known to human history. Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme, a vicious engagement in which over a million people were either killed or wounded.

In the trenches of World War I, Tolkien began recording the horrors of war that would later surface in The Lord of the Rings. Later that year he caught trench fever, an illness carried by lice, and was sent back to England. During his convalescence, he began writing down the stories and mythology of Middle-earth, which would form the basis for The Silmarillion.

Tolkien was a royalist and a conservative. He wanted pre-imperial, pre-industrial England. He wanted be live like his creations, the Hobbits. Here is an excerpt from one of the last chapters in his great saga, 'The Scouring of the Shire.'

Like that other famous British writer, Orwell, in his own '1984' both men worried that Britain would be a land of sneaks and eavesdroppers, pushy police and relentless interrogators torturing people for daring to complain or break many rules.

This dual dysopian machine is not impressing the rest of the world: far from being beacons to freedom and happiness, both are seen as menacing to the outside world as well as increasingly, at home. Half of the population wants more controls, more spies, more lies, more uniformity and certainty while the other half chafes with rising indignation and fury over the ever-tightening noose of controls.

Looking at the wrong pictures on the internet, going to the wrong demonstration, saying the wrong thing while drunk in a local pub, the hazards are growing even as the certainty of joint venture is fading rapidly and half of the population is now very angry about all the imperial wars being pushed upon us all by the compliant classes.

Again, the Germans show some small wisdom: they have a very controlling society but they let the drivers go wild on the Autobahn. It is free and they are (or were) free as birds there. At least, when I lived there. I couldn't believe how wild the driving was on the Autobahn!

As a teenager who used to secretly drag race, I was, like, 'Give me a Porsche!'

All Reporters In Plame Case Are Co-Conspirators In This Crime

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Libby deliberately made himself the 'fall guy' to deflect investigators of the Plame Affair. The investigators are Republicans so of course, they were easily misled by both reporters and the warmongers in the government. All online critics of the war in Iraq knew Libby wasn't the real source.

This sort of garbage is what happens when the news media is in cahoots with war criminals.

By Carol D. Leonnig and Amy Goldstein
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, February 13, 2007; A03

Six journalists testified yesterday that Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, never mentioned an undercover CIA officer to them -- and some said they learned about her identity from other administration sources.

As Libby's attorneys opened their defense in his perjury trial, they argued for a second time that Libby need not take the stand for them to present elements of a defense that his misstatements to investigators were the product of a faulty memory. An irritated U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said he felt misled and believed Libby would testify.

Testifying as the first defense witness, Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus revealed that then-White House press secretary Ari Fleischer was the first person to tell him, on July 12, 2003, that war critic Joseph C. Wilson IV was married to undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame. His remarks contradicted Fleischer's testimony as a prosecution witness last month.

They are playing the same stupid games right up until today. The major media are trumpeting false or twisted propaganda in the hopes of egging the easily irritated and easily misled American people into fighting a long, long list of countries Israel wants taken down. Within our government, many operatives working for this foreign country are desperately trying to get us to set the entire Muslim world on fire in the hopes this will get them to ignore the actions of Israel in Palestine.

Right now we see propaganda shouting that Iran is interfering with a neighboring state which we invaded. The insensibility of this sentiment is striking: it is totally insane for the USA, a country that is spreading chaos and death, to accuse a country that is culturally and politically close to many of the people in Iraq, of 'meddling.'

When the Zionist neo-cons in our media and government were both conspiring to drive us to war with Iraq, they worked alongside the oil companies that wanted all that oil and the Europeans who are frightened about the steep decline in North Sea oil, to steal the oil in Iraq and to pave the way for increased power for Zionist plans to destroy the helpless people in Palestine. This cooperative venture to take advantage of 9/11 seemed unstoppable. Despite epic world-wide antiwar demonstrations carried on even here in America, the reporters and the neo-cons kept cooking up new charges and new surprises in the hopes of whipping at least 50% of America into lusting for war.

Watching this large flock of traitors making merry of the Republican prosecutor in Chicago shows clearly how these people operate. Libby didn't openly lie to the prosecutor, he presented himself as a 'target' and left enough doors open for the prosecutor to walk into walled-off rooms containing nothing.

The idea was to entangle the skein being followed by the prosecutor who was a dupe to begin with because he is a Republican and that usually means he is easily misled and incapable of seeing through subterfuges. We all prayed that Fitzgerald would save us from this conspiracy but since he is actually part of the machinery, he failed due to ideological blindness.

As my blog has cried from the beginning: arrest them all! The smirking reporters on the stand, the VP and the President and their staffs: all are criminals. Before the Supreme Court overturned an election, the reporters and the Bush administration were in cahoots. They plotted behind our backs to hide reality and present a series of fake tableaux. Since many Americans get all their news from these conspirators, it was a piece of cake for them to push fake allegations against Saddam just like it was easy for them to lie about events surrounding 9/11 itself.

Antiwar activists as well as online researchers and news services raised many objections to the fake allegations and false charges. Thanks to the big demonstrations around the world beginning in October, 2002, whistle blowers began to challenge the false picture being painted by Bush and Cheney and the many reporters and news owners working for Israel.

Ambassador Wilson, alarmed that his report about the Niger Yellow Cake allegations was being ignored, wrote an editorial which the New York Times published. The NYT often likes to give both sides of a story just so they don't lose all credibility but they lied about many things during this time period (they still lie about many things today, of course). To appear even-handed, they allowed Wilson to voice his objections to the propaganda storm's contentions that Saddam was trying to arm his nation with weapons that might stop hostile invaders.

To discredit Wilson's charges that the administration was lying about these charges, Cheney went to the CIA and demanded information about Wilson. There, he learned that Wilson's wife worked undercover and so Libby advised him as to how to 'out' her as punishment for them meddling with the conspiracy to hatch an illegal war. Libby told him, if everyone suddenly were to babble about Wilson's wife, no one particular person could be 'tagged' as the criminal leaking this information.

In other words, the media and the administration could operate as a cloud, generating so much wind and rain, outsiders would be confused and give up trying to pin charges on any one of them. This is why I wanted all of them arrested, not one.

Indeed, I wanted a full investigation a la Watergate, of the whole lot of them. The point was not to put people in prison but to STOP THEM! They have taken over America and drove us into a disastrous war and are still destroying America!

Stopping this conspiracy and stopping the wars is a top priority. It is literally life and death for all of us. The tangled mess of the Plame trial proves my contention that our media and our leaders are in a conspiracy to mislead and misinform America. The leering reporters sitting on the stand, sowing confusion, infuriates me.

They are all, one by one, revealing that they knew a great deal about this affair from day one, being co-conspirators, and they lied to the American people about this matter, hiding their own involvement. I remember when the case began, these self-serving, self-same reporters all pretended to be surprised and shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

They pretended they were just as in the dark as the deluded American public they were misleading. Since the same news media that deliberately lied to us back then is also reporting and analyzing the news today, we still get lies, evasions and rank confusion.

It is painfully obvious that Bush wanted Wilson punished and Cheney sought every means he could find to dig up some sort of nasty something to fling at Wilson, some mud, a scandal, anything. Wilson, being pure and clean, was unassailable so they lit upon the idea of outing his wife so she would lose her job at the CIA.

After the shit hit the media fan, they then pretended outrage and the reporters pretended to be puzzled. My, how many jolly laughs these gangsters had on Air Force One! In the back rooms of the White House! Just like all of them knew that Gannon was really a male prostitute, they all laughed as Ari Fleischer would call on him as if he were a reporter!

In that case, online publications 'outed' Gannon and the entire media blackballed the story or attacked the investigators and then openly sympathized with Gannon until the dirty pictures were disseminated by online investigators. Then the media conspirators and the WH simply pretended Gannon never existed and to this day, one never hears his name in those places even as he has become a stock figure online, everyone knows who he is online.

We are already going into another election cycle. The pre-election positioning of all parties running America is underway. The reporters are the hunting dogs of the conspiracy to run America into the ground which is why one never, ever, ever sees a single front page headline, 'USA Debts Breaking $9 Trillion Barrier!' or the sub-headlines: 'China Holding $1 Trillion USA Debts!' Nor do we see anyone doing an investigative report on the considerable number of Jewish owners, reporters and pundits that have a neck lock on America's media.

There are several interlocking conspiracies going on here: one is the obvious pro-Israeli faction. This is most of our media as well as considerable parts of our government, both the Republican and Democratic parties have been taken over by Zionists of various types. Then there is the oil tycoons: as the Hubbert Oil Peak approaches, they want to have that tiger by the tail and this means breaking up the power of OPEC and destroying any country that dares to nationalize their oil wells. Then there is the military/industrial complex: they hate peace. They need wars. The more wars, the happier they are.

These people were alarmed when Russia fell quietly. They hated the idea of not using military force to rule the world. During the Clinton years, the military was used to 'save people' and 'bring peace.' I noted back then, the Republicans were totally against using force even at home with the Waco mess. They wanted the government to not be involved.

This stance was totally fake just like nearly everything the Republicans do. The minute they gained power via conspiring with the Supreme Court and the media owners, they launched one war after another, none of which made America safer or were of any benefit for Americans.

The collapse of trust is accelerating as more and more Americans slowly wake up to the fact that we have allowed our nation to fall into the hands of gangsters who don't care if this country is totally destroyed. This cannot be allowed. Our fates rest on being able to avoid nuclear war yet we see our media and these other gangsters running the Pentagon and our government, pushing us into nuclear war!

The entire CIA is part of this, too. Plame herself, is part of this system that has been set up to cause wars and to mislead America. Since day one, the CIA has spent most of its considerable energies and 'black' budget (we don't know how much they spend or where it goes!) to mislead Americans and dominate the world so oil barons and weapons sellers can make a killing.

This latest infighting happened because Ambassador Wilson was alarmed at the course of events and wanted to know the truth. When he found the truth, he had to disclose it himself because the reporters conspiring with the warmongers in DC all mangled his simple findings: no nuclear bomb material went to Saddam. The reporters thought, if they mummed up the evidence and surrounded his message with all sorts of crafty words, he would go away and they could merrily beat the war drums again.

But we online writers disseminated Wilson's editorial. We talked about it frantically. We asked questions the reporters should have asked. I remember how the reporters retaliated by mangling everything we said, everything Wilson said, they had to raise a storm of wild words, all pressed into service to mislead and misinform.

This is a crime. The NTY and WP and these exact same conspirators are at work again trying to make it look like we must attack Iran. Then all would be well. Part of this conspiracy is to not show the American dead in Iraq. When Bush ordered no pictures of returning coffins, the media agreed and didn't sue the government nor did they raise any fuss. I remember writing to them about this. They didn't publish our letters nor respond to our demands to show the dead, to report on page one, EVERY DAY, the faces of the dead and the casualty count which is not just the dead but the wounded.

After all, during the hostage crisis, the media yelled about it every day. They had a running banner counting the days that passed. Carter lost his Presidency due to this. The curious refusal to run such information daily is part of this conspiracy to drive us into wars.

There ought to be a 'Debt Clock' on the front page of every newspaper, too. Hell, there should be a huge on in Congress and the front gates of the White House! Our elected officials should see this clock ticking away, I would hope it would be bright red numbers, make them about 4' tall. This would stretch across the entire chambers of both Houses. As they yap, the numbers will be rolling, fast and faster.

Meanwhile, this stupid trial will limp along. As we knew from day one, Libby will walk because he is 'innocent' or rather, everyone is guilty. And that Republican tool, Fitzgerald, won't stand on the front steps and say, 'The media and the Republicans running our government conspired to start an illegal war. They should all be arrested.'

Nope. That's my speech and I am officially a nobody.

Click here for the definitive cartoon about the Plame Affair. The only flaw in this wonderful cartoon is when Cheney talks about stealing '$87 billion'. As we approach a trillion dollars wasted in this stupid war, it pays to remember that a mere four years ago, critics of Cheney thought that much smaller number was shocking. Thanks to a totally out of control Congress and Presidency, we are now numb to the numbers.

"Net Safety Day" Spawns Hacker Attack On All Routers

Elaine Meinel Supkis

I read a dozen stories about the global hacker attack that affected my own use of the web. Not one of the hacker stories points out the possible reason why yesterday was selected for these attacks. I am guessing (knowing some hackers years ago) 'Internet Safety Day' was the trigger.

I had a hellish time accessing my own web pages as well as a number of sites yesterday while researching the astronaut story.

Hackers have attempted to topple key parts of the internet's backbone, in one of the most significant attacks of recent years.

The target was servers that help to direct global internet traffic.

In the early hours of Tuesday three key servers were hit by a barrage of data in what is known as a distributed denial-of-service attack.

There is no evidence so far of damage, which experts are saying is testament to the robust nature of the internet.

This hacker attack affected the entire web to one degree or another. Many people had to scramble to deal with the data overloading. ICANN is in charge of the net's operations. I once almost managed get put on their voting council but certain people took alarm and they closed their doors to us (and they wonder about 'things happening'!). I wanted input to how the web is run in order to prevent corporate take-overs and government censorship.

Many hackers are libertarians. I know this from knowing computer programmers back in the dawn of computers, like in the early sixties. This ethos has run through that community since forever and is still on-going.

The fact that the attack remained invisible to users is being hailed as a success.

ICANN just had to lie. This is not amusing. Perhaps it lulls novices or people out of all the loops but hard-core computer users noticed this attack. I certainly, very early on, sat up and began cussing about it!

I would suggest the plan was NOT to 'damage' the routers or destroy the internet, it was just the usual way youngish computer users express their dismay and anger over attempts at controlling the web. When I was slogging around this morning trying to find some connective tissue to this seemingly meaningless story, it appeared like magic on the side bar of the BBC:

The ruling elites like to pull ths usual crap of 'protecting children' as their excuse for imposing a cyber-police state.

Efforts to make the net less risky for children are being marked by the fourth Internet Safety Day on 6 February.

Events are being held in 31 nations and a blogathon will record activities held as far apart as Australia and Canada.

One UK event sees the launch of a training scheme to give those working with children experience of the risks associated with net use.

The day falls as US research suggests many teenagers often stumble across pornography online.

European countries like to use the excuse, they are fighting Nazis for passing laws preventing anyone from accessing sites that talk about Jews and Nazis. Like my own webpage if I talk about the gross, Chinese-style censorship and imprisonment of anyone who dares dispute the Zionists on any subject at all!

The neo-Nazis of German Authoritarianism hope to criminalize historical debate and using the Jews as an excuse, want to destroy free speech and open debate!

By Clare Murphy
BBC News

Irving's imprisonment for Holocaust denial sparked heated debate
Germany is courting a row over freedom of speech as it seeks to clamp down on those who deny genocide or mass murder.

Before its six-month spell at the helm of the EU is up, it hopes to push through measures which would criminalise, and possibly imprison, not just those who downplay the Holocaust but also those who belittle genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"Historically proven facts must not be denied," said German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries in a radio interview this week.

Naziism has little to do with Jews and a great deal to do with mind-control, gagging debate so only one point of view is allowed and police state suppression of dissent! This is why I call Israel a 'Nazi State.' Germany should be condemned for these actions. There is no such thing as 'historical facts.' If so, no one would have to write any histories! Everything would be plain and clear!

Only nothing is plain or clear, ever. The facts of any event can be disputed. Most white southerners in America think the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery, a totally bizarre, stupid and racist idea. But putting people in prison for holding this belief is insanity. Horrible. Unamerican!

The Jewish Zionnists in America want German authoritarianism here so they can control our political parties while preventing any debate about anything. They would love to close down anyone talking about the damage Zionists are causing our country. They would dearly love to prevent any talk about the past causes of the attacks and wars that are spiralling out of control as we try to force all Islamic lands to hand over anything the Zionists want.

And talking about Holocausts and ghettos?

Welcome to Palestine! Historians will write about how the Jewish people, censoring all public discussion about ethnic cleansing, ethnically cleansed the Muslims and Christians out of Palestine. This grave crime will, of course, not appear in public discussions because the new laws being pushed by Zionists will forbid using the word 'Nazi' in conjunction with 'Jewish Zionists.' And of course, discussing the ethnic cleansing of victims of Jews will be verboten, too.

This won't happen because already there is a growing backlash. In Germany, the right wing is growing stronger and stronger as the leaders of Germany kow tow to Zionists. The more the rights of Germans to say what they wish are violated, the more people are put in prison for singing or writing the wrong things, the stronger they get! All political movements are built on the backs of martyrs!

Censoring the net in the name of protecting children is dangerous. Censoring the net to protect Zionist Nazis is disasterous as well as evil. All the world's governments want to control the net because rulers hate free speech.

Back in the sixties, we students at Berkeley and us hanger-ons and runaways all yelled about 'free speech.' We called this 'The Free Speech Movement' and it preceeded the antiwar and other riots, demonstrations, etc. America didn't have free speech because the Victorians wanted to prevent 'dirty books' from rotting our minds, books like Balzac's novels, just for example. What we call 'classics.'

This juvenilized American writers. I read 'An American Tragedy' by Theodore Dreiser. It was published in 1926. It was totally stupid! In this dumb novel, an unmarried girl gets pregnant. You can't tell! She worries about 'it.' The author couldn't explain, 'She missed her period. No blood flowed from her UTERUS.' Gads. Then there is the part where she has sex with the man.

Huh? I didn't see it! There was nothing! One day, she is running around, happy, another, she has 'something wrong.' This drove me nuts when I was a teen reading these classics! I was raped when only a child so I wasn't some innocent child. Which reminds me: child rapists didn't need photos or stories to do things. If they are male, they simply have forcible sex with children! DUH. I was raped before the internet. Girls will be raped after the internet!

I have been for 'frank talk about sex' since...I needed that badly when growing up. When a surgeon tried to tell me I wasn't a virgin, he didn't say, 'Did someone rape you? You are not a virgin!' Nope. This guy hemmed and hawed and asked me about boyfriends. I was only 13 years old!

When I told him I had no boy friends and any man touching me would die (I could fight splendidly even back then!) the doctor dropped the topic and walked away! Huh?????

Ergo: no one gives a stiff about raped children when you get down to the reality of it all. This stuff about protecting children is a smoke screen for censorship of POLITICAL matters. I have held this all my life. We are all going to be living in China eventually, all with the excuse of 'protecting us from Nazis and child rapists.'

Gads. No way.
