“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead
to political prosperity, Religion and morality
are indispensable supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labour
to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness,
these firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens.”




George Washington




"Labor was prior to capital,
but property is the fruit of labor.
Property is desirable, and it is a
positive good to the world.
That some should be rich shows that
others may become rich and hence
is just encouragement to industry
and enterprise."

"Let not him who is houseless
pull down the house of another;
but let himwork diligently and
build one for himself, thus by
example insuring that his own
shall be safe from violence
when built."

Memory


With a deep sense of loss and mourning we announce the passing of William Cooper.

We would like to thank all of you who have sent your sympathies and prayers during this difficult time. They have given us great comfort.


It appears at this time to be totally unrelated to the disputes he had with the federal government. All we know at this time is that he was shot and killed by an Apache County Sheriff around 12:15 AM Tuesday November 6th, 2001 while serving of an arrest warrant on a local issue. A sheriff was also wounded.

Remain Calm! This is in no way a cause for action.

Do NOT listen to or spread undocumented and unconfirmed RUMORS! If it is not here it is not confirmed as fact. Updates will be posted here as they become available.

We MUST all remember his love of freedom, America, the Constitution and the values it is founded on.

For those of you who would like to make a donation in Bill's honor that will go to his family, the continuation of this website and the Hour of the Time shortwave broadcast, you may do so here.

WARNING!!!

There are websites that are saying they have a copy of a press conference that William Cooper did two weeks before his death. THIS IS A LIE! William Cooper did NOT hold any press confreneces! They are also selling this fraudulent press conference. The Trust attorneys have been contacted regarding this matter and they will be handling it accordingly.




Here is a fax from the Apache County Sheriff's office with the actual details of the incident that we have confirmed to be accurate. ALL OTHER REPORTS ARE FALSE and should be called on as such. Also BEWARE of other sites and radio shows that say they are quoting williamcooper.com. We have discovered that many of them are saying whatever they want and calling it a quote from our site. This is the ONLY place where you will see OUR findings.




When U.S. Joint Chiefs Planned
Terror Attacks on America

Veritas News Service - Exclusive, Oct. 26, 2001 -- According to documents that were intended to have been destroyed almost 40 years ago, top levels of the U.S. military proposed carrying out acts of terrorism against the United States in the early 1960s, in order to drag the United States into a war against Cuba. These documents take on added significance in light of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, which were clearly intended, among other things, to drag the United States into a "Clash of Civilizations" war in the Middle East. As Lyndon LaRouche has stressed, the Sept. 11 attacks could not have been carried out without complicity from rogue elements in military/security circles inside the United States. Operation Northwoods The first comprehensive published account of the 1962 documents, is contained in James Bamford's book on the National Security Agency, Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency, released in late Spring of this year. Bamford concluded that the Joint Chiefs of Staff "proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba."

Bamford's account is based on documents which were ordered declassified by the Assassination Records Review Board, and subsequently released by the National Archives within the past few years. EIR has obtained the relevant documents and has independently reviewed them, and we can confirm that there is no exaggeration in Bamford's description of these documents as containing proposals for U.S. military agencies to carry out terrorist actions against the United States and attacks on U.S. military facilities.

The time period in question, Winter-Spring of 1962, is bounded by the CIA's failed Bay of Pigs invasion of April 1961-an operation which had been set into motion under the previous Eisenhower Administration-and the Cuba Missile Crisis of October 1962. The terrorism plan was called "Operation Northwoods," and it was drawn up after President John F. Kennedy had shifted responsibility for dealing with Cuba, in late 1961, from the CIA to the Department of Defense (DOD), in the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs. The overall Pentagon project was known as "Operation Mongoose," and was the responsibility of Edward Lansdale (a CIA man who was Deputy Director of the Pentagon's Office of Special Operations at the time), and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSC), Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, a holdover from the Eisenhower Administration. The military planners led by Lemnitzer wanted to launch a full-scale invasion of Cuba to overthrow Castro-and perhaps, as well, they were anxious to show that they could succeed where the CIA had failed. Lemnitzer and others were also extremely distrustful of the new administration-especially after the Bay of Pigs, in which there were allegations that President Kennedy had refused to provide air support at the last minute (although it has since been documented that this was not Kennedy's decision). The top military brass were accusing the Kennedy Administration of "going soft" on Castro, and their plans for a "pretext" operation to justify an attack on Cuba must be seen in this light.

Pretexts for Military Invasion

The planning culminated in a series of memoranda and recommendations which were addressed in their final form by Lemnitzer to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, on March 13, 1962-although it is not certain McNamara ever received them. (Last April, the Baltimore Sun quoted McNamara saying, "I never heard of it. I can't believe the Chiefs were talking about or engaged in what I would call CIA-type operations.") Lemnitzer's covering memorandum states that the Joint Chiefs of Staff "have considered" an attached memorandum, which is a "description of pretexts which would provide justification for military intervention in Cuba." He says that he assumed "that a single agency will be given primary responsibility for developing military and para-military aspects of the basis plan," and he recommends that this responsibility be assigned to the Joint Chiefs.

The attached memorandum, entitled "Justification for U.S. Military

Intervention in Cuba," says that it is assumed that a political decision for a U.S. military intervention "will result from a period of heightened U.S.-Cuban tensions which place the United States in the position of suffering justifiable grievances." World opinion and the United Nations "should be favorably affected by developing the image of the Cuban government as rash and irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to the peace of the Western Hemisphere." The proposed pretext actions should take place within the next few months, while it is still likely that the Soviet Union would not intervene, the memorandum declares, noting that there is "as of yet no bilateral mutual support agreement binding the U.S.S.R. to the defense of Cuba," that Cuba is not yet a member of the Warsaw Pact, and that the Soviets have not yet established major bases in Cuba.

What then follows, is a series of proposals for actions which would be used to provide the justification for U.S. military intervention.

`Blow Up A Ship ...'

The first proposal is for "a series of well-coordinated incidents" to take place in and around the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; these were to include having friendly Cubans dress in Cuban military uniforms to start riots at the base, blow up ammunition inside the base, to start fires, to burn aircraft on the air base, to sabotage a ship in the harbor, and to sink a ship near the harbor entrance. That was just the start. The next proposal elaborated: "A 'Remember the Maine' incident could be arranged.... We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," or blow up a drone ship in Cuban waters. The memorandum coldly predicted: "Casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The memorandum continues: "We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on the lives of Cuban refugees in the United States...." "Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrests of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents also would be helpful...."

Among other actions proposed were to use fake Soviet MiG aircraft to harass civil aircraft, to attack surface shipping, and to destroy U.S. military drone aircraft. "Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft" were also suggested, and then-the most elaborated plan of all-to simulate the shooting down of a chartered civil airliner in Cuban airspace. President Kennedy rejected the plan, and Lemnitzer directed that all the pertinent documents be destroyed. Nevertheless, some of the documents did survive, although hidden by heavy classification for decades. To the astute reader, the potential parallels with recent events should be chilling.




Bomb Germany Now!

Veritas News Service - Exclusive, October 23, 2001 -- According to the Fox News story which can be found at the link below Attorney General Ashcroft claims the 911 attack was planned by a terrorist cell existing in Germany since 1999. If that is true why are we bombing Afghanistan? In accordance with President Bush's stated policy of the prosecution of our war on terrorism against all those who support or harbor terrorists we insist that you call, write, or fax the White House, Attorney General, and the Pentagon and insist that the United States military forces BOMB GERMANY until the terrorists are turned over to the United States or they are killed by our bombing or by our troops!




SENATE TERRORIST BILL BLASTED
'Worse Than 1790 Sedition Laws'
(later declared Unconstitutional)

Note: U.S. Government agencies will be able to seize assets of citizens,
501C3 and other organizations and their members without ever disclosing the
evidence against their property. Government need only allege that disclosing
such evidence may compromise National security and/or an ongoing
investigation.

STILL THINK YOUR GOOD OLD BOY IN OFFICE IS ON YOUR SIDE?

This is worse legislation than the Sedition Laws of the 1790's, later
declared unconstitutional and leading to the end of John Adams' presidency.
Land of the (formerly) free ??

Better contact your senators on this one...

Consider these items in the new Senate Terrorist Bill 1510:

"MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND ANTI-TERRORIST
FINANCING ACT OF 2001"

Political Activists and Demonstrators should Zero in on S.1510. The bill's
provisions can be used to eradicate public dissent - - and you!

Under Senate Bill 1510, now being considered in the Senate as an
Anti-terrorism act:

a.. An entire 501C3 organization or other organization, including its
members, can have their assets seized for supporting bodily acts or
international causes that the U.S. Secretary of State may deem terrorist
activity. Political activities that were legal prior to S.1510 may
"RETROACTIVELY" be deemed terrorist activity by U.S. Government.
Participants and supporters may be charged with terrorist and other
offenses.

(2). S.1510 "RETROACTIVELY" abolishes the "Statue of Limitations" for many
past offenses where no one was injured. After passage of S.1510, any past
offense that can be broadly alleged to have put someone "at risk" may be
used by federal and state prosecutors to charge a citizen with a terrorist
act - even 30 years after the Statute of Limitations period had already
passed. Government will have no difficulty manufacturing evidence to
prosecute citizens once Constitutional safeguards against passing
Retroactive Laws are abolished after passage of S.1510.

If you want to read the entire text of this bill for yourself, go to http://Thomas.loc.gov, to
the 107th Congress, and Senate Bill 1510.

We must all rise up in opposition to this draconian, despotic, tyrannical, and NAZI legislation immediately and defeat it or suffer the consequences.




A Message to the American People

Veritas News Service supports all of the fine men and women serving in all of our military forces. The attacks upon America were truly an act of war. We support seeking out, arresting, and bringing to justice all of those involved who played any role whatsoever, including any military action necessary against any nation that may have supported, armed, financed, trained, or otherwise protected those who participated in these acts of war. We oppose any unlawful and/or vengeful action against any nation or civilian population that is designed to appease the bloodlust of the mob. We oppose any attempt by anyone to take advantage of this situation in order to impose tyranny or despotism upon the American People. We will continue to post stories and news items with which we do not necessarily agree but that are alternative to the media circus of the establishment news networks. We hope that our coverage inspires pause, a deep breath, and serious contemplation of our actions as a People and as a nation. We pray that our actions are just and purposeful so that we do not ever regret any action that we may take here or abroad based upon the emotions of the moment or the thirst for blood and revenge. -- William Cooper, Editor in Chief, Veritas News Service




Suppresed Details of Criminal Insider Trading
Lead Directly into the CIA's Highest Ranks!

CIA Executive Director "Buzzy" Krongard managed firm that handled "put" options on United Airlines (UAL) just prior to 9/11/2002 UAL

by Michael C. Ruppert, © COPYRIGHT, 2001, Michael C. Ruppert and FTW Publications, www.copvcia.com. All Rights Reserved. - May be reprinted or distributed for non-profit purposes only.

FTW, October 9, 2001 - Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Until 1997 A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown. A.B. Brown was acquired by Banker's Trust in 1997. Krongard then became, as part of the merger, Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust-AB Brown, one of 20 major U.S. banks named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to money laundering. Krongard's last position at Banker's Trust (BT) was to oversee "private client relations." In this capacity he had direct hands-on relations with some of the wealthiest people in the world in a kind of specialized banking operation that has been identified by the U.S. Senate and other investigators as being closely connected to the laundering of drug money.

Krongard (re?) joined the CIA in 1998 as counsel to CIA Director George Tenet. He was promoted to CIA Executive Director by President Bush in March of this year. BT was acquired by Deutsche Bank in 1999. The combined firm is the single largest bank in Europe. And, as we shall see, Deutsche Bank played several key roles in events connected to the September 11 attacks.

THE SCOPE OF KNOWN INSIDER TRADING

Before looking further into these relationships it is necessary to look at the insider trading information that is being ignored by Reuters, The New York Times and other mass media. It is well documented that the CIA has long monitored such trades - in real time - as potential warnings of terrorist attacks and other economic moves contrary to U.S. interests. Previous stories in FTW have specifically highlighted the use of Promis software to monitor such trades.


It is necessary to understand only two key financial terms to understand the significance of these trades, "selling short" and "put options".

"Selling Short" is the borrowing of stock, selling it at current market prices, but not being required to actually produce the stock for some time. If the stock falls precipitously after the short contract is entered, the seller can then fulfill the contract by buying the stock after the price has fallen and complete the contract at the pre-crash price. These contracts often have a window of as long as four months.

"Put Options," are contracts giving the buyer the option to sell stocks at a later date. Purchased at nominal prices of, for example, $1.00 per share, they are sold in blocks of 100 shares. If exercised, they give the holder the option of selling selected stocks at a future date at a price set when the contract is issued. Thus, for an investment of $10,000 it might be possible to tie up 10,000 shares of United or American Airlines at $100 per share, and the seller of the option is then obligated to buy them if the option is executed. If the stock has fallen to $50 when the contract matures, the holder of the option can purchase the shares for $50 and immediately sell them for $100 - regardless of where the market then stands. A call option is the reverse of a put option, which is, in effect, a derivatives bet that the stock price will go up.

A September 21 story by the Israeli Herzliyya International Policy Institute for Counterterrorism, entitled "Black Tuesday: The World's Largest Insider Trading Scam?" documented the following trades connected to the September 11 attacks:

- Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. Assuming that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these "insiders" would have profited by almost $5 million.

- On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify this imbalance;. Again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent "insiders," they would represent a gain of about $4 million.

- [The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than normal.]

- No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.

- Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday; this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley's share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million.

- Merrill Lynch & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in those shares had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!]. When trading resumed, Merrill's shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000 option contracts were bought by "insiders," their profit would have been about $5.5 million.

- European regulators are examining trades in Germany's Munich Re, Switzerland's Swiss Re, and AXA of France, all major reinsurers with exposure to the Black Tuesday disaster. [FTW Note: AXA also owns more than 25% of American Airlines stock making the attacks a "double whammy" for them.]

On September 29, 2001 - in a vital story that has gone unnoticed by the major media - the San Francisco Chronicle reported, "Investors have yet to collect more than $2.5 million in profits they made trading options in the stock of United Airlines before the Sept. 11, terrorist attacks, according to a source familiar with the trades and market data.

"The uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors - whose identities and nationalities have not been made public - had advance knowledge of the strikes." They don't dare show up now. The suspension of trading for four days after the attacks made it impossible to cash-out quickly and claim the prize before investigators started looking.

". October series options for UAL Corp. were purchased in highly unusual volumes three trading days before the terrorist attacks for a total outlay of $2,070; investors bought the option contracts, each representing 100 shares, for 90 cents each. [This represents 230,000 shares]. Those options are now selling at more than $12 each. There are still 2,313 so-called "put" options outstanding [valued at $2.77 million and representing 231,300 shares] according to the Options Clearinghouse Corp."

".The source familiar with the United trades identified Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown, the American investment banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as the investment bank used to purchase at least some of these options." This was the operation managed by Krongard until as recently as 1998.

As reported in other news stories, Deutsche Bank was also the hub of insider trading activity connected to Munich Re. just before the attacks.

CIA, THE BANKS AND THE BROKERS

Understanding the interrelationships between CIA and the banking and brokerage world is critical to grasping the already frightening implications of the above revelations. Let's look at the history of CIA, Wall Street and the big banks by looking at some of the key players in CIA's history.

Clark Clifford - The National Security Act of 1947 was written by Clark Clifford, a Democratic Party powerhouse, former Secretary of Defense, and one-time advisor to President Harry Truman. In the 1980s, as Chairman of First American Bancshares, Clifford was instrumental in getting the corrupt CIA drug bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. His profession: Wall Street lawyer and banker.

John Foster and Allen Dulles - These two brothers "designed" the CIA for Clifford. Both were active in intelligence operations during WW II. Allen Dulles was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland where he met frequently with Nazi leaders and looked after U.S. investments in Germany. John Foster went on to become Secretary of State under Dwight Eisenhower and Allen went on to serve as CIA Director under Eisenhower and was later fired by JFK. Their professions: partners in the most powerful - to this day - Wall Street law firm of Sullivan, Cromwell.

Bill Casey - Ronald Reagan's CIA Director and OSS veteran who served as chief wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under President Richard Nixon, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His profession: Wall Street lawyer and stockbroker.

David Doherty - The current Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange for enforcement is the retired General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency.

George Herbert Walker Bush - President from 1989 to January 1993, also served as CIA Director for 13 months from 1976-7. He is now a paid consultant to the Carlyle Group, the 11th largest defense contractor in the nation, which also shares joint investments with the bin Laden family.

A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard - The current Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is the former Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown and former Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust.

John Deutch - This retired CIA Director from the Clinton Administration currently sits on the board at Citigroup, the nation's second largest bank, which has been repeatedly and overtly involved in the documented laundering of drug money. This includes Citigroup's 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to launder drug money, Banamex.

Nora Slatkin - This retired CIA Executive Director also sits on Citibank's board.

Maurice "Hank" Greenburg - The CEO of AIG insurance, manager of the third largest capital investment pool in the world, was floated as a possible CIA Director in 1995. FTW exposed Greenberg's and AIG's long connection to CIA drug trafficking and covert operations in a two-part series that was interrupted just prior to the attacks of September 11. AIG's stock has bounced back remarkably well since the attacks. To read that story, please go to



One wonders how much damning evidence is necessary to respond to what is now irrefutable proof that CIA knew about the attacks and did not stop them. Whatever our government is doing, whatever the CIA is doing, it is clearly NOT in the interests of the American people, especially those who died on September 11.




Ex-National Security Chief Brzezinski admits:
Afghan Islamism Was Made in Washington

======================================
Ex-National Security Chief Brzezinski admits: Afghan Islamism Was Made in Washington

Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser in 'Le Nouvel Observateur' (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76
Translated by Bill Blum
=======================================

A couple of thoughts about the Brzezinski interview below. First, it flatly contradicts the common justification for U.S. actions in Afghanistan during the 1980s: that the U.S. simply aided forces resisting Soviet imperialism. Brzezinski makes clear that the Soviets were baited into sending forces to Afghanistan; thus their actions were defensive. Moreover, the U.S. used the violent Wahhabi (Saudi Arabian) form of Islam to create a monster-movement which plagues the world today. For more on this, see 'Articles Documenting U.S. Creation of Taliban and bin Laden's Terrorist Network' at http://emperors-clothes.com/docs/doc.htm

A reader wrote: "Similarly just because Brzezinski (among others) likes to claim that he personally overthrew the Soviet Union doesn't mean that you or the rest of us have to take him seriously. Nobody in 1979 had any reason to think that the Afghan war would bring down the USSR. Nor have we any real reason to think that it did bring it down."

The point is well taken at least as regards Brzezinski's claim that his Afghan strategy destroyed the Soviet Union. But the issue here is a different one: what role did the U.S. government play in the creation of Islamist terrorism? In that regard, Brzezinski's assertion that the U.S. provoked Soviet actions and that Islamism was deliberately fostered is backed up by sources on all sides of the Afghan issue.

Here's the interview.

-- Emperor's Clothes

***

Question: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?

B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.

Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?

B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

Note: There are at least two editions of 'Le Nouvel Observateur.' With apparently the sole exception of the Library of Congress, the version sent to the United States is shorter than the French version. The Brzezinski interview was not included in the shorter version. *

Watch communist China!

Veritas News Service - Exclusive, September 7, 2001 -- Keep your eyes on the People's Republic of China. A US backed government in Afghanistan will completely change the politics of the that entire region and pose a serious threat to communist China. There are already credible reports that as many as 15,000 Muslim Chinese troops are massing along the Afghan border with more on the way.




Sunera Thobani tells the Truth!

Veritas News Service, October 5, 2001 -- Sunera Thobani received several standing ovations from about 500 delegates attending the Women's Resistance Conference on Monday....

"Today in the world the United States is the most dangerous and the most powerful global force unleashing horrific levels of violence," said Thobani, a women's studies professor at the University of British Columbia and former head of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.

"From Chile to El Salvador to Nicaragua to Iraq, the path of U.S. foreign policy is soaked in blood."

Thobani said she empathizes with the human suffering following the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania that left more than 6,000 people dead or missing. "But do we feel any pain for the victims of U.S. aggression?"

In an interview with The Vancouver Sun Monday night, Thobani said her comments were directed at George Bush, not the American people....

CIA’s role in the attack upon America!

by William Cooper

Copyright 2001 Veritas News Service – Exclusive, September 29, 2001 -- The attacks upon the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon may have a much more sinister origin than anyone is ready to explore or even consider.

The material in this article is taken verbatim from the discussions and reference material provided by the attendees of a recent conference on intelligence that included high level United States government officials, intelligence executives, and intelligence officers from all branches, military and civilian, of the intelligence community of the United States of America. What emerges is disturbing. Some will find this information terrifying.

Were John Deutch and David Cohen Israeli spies? Was the CIA under DCI John Deutch serving the nation of Israel instead of the interest of the United States? Did the CIA create, train, and back the terrorist groups that we say we are now at war against? Did the CIA ignore the prohibition against assassinations by recruiting, training, and backing Middle Eastern terrorist groups that were sent to assassinate Muslim and Islamic leaders who were in opposition to the Middle Eastern meddling of the CIA? Are the policies and covert actions of the Central Intelligence Agency directly responsible for most of the hatred that is directed against the United States by the People of the Middle East? Some of the answers may be found in the direct quotes and reference material that follows. Be prepared to be deeply affected by what you are about to read. The identities of those quoted have been omitted for obvious reasons.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Mr. Cooper,

You are not the only person who has been on the receiving end of plagiarism at the hands of Joseph Farah. I too have a story that may help you to understand who this fellow Farah is and that what he has done is not as personal to you as you may have guessed, but that he has made his career of plagiarizing the work of others.

My name is David Smith, better known as "Gypsy" Smith on the internet. I produce and publish Flash animated political cartoons which derived from my site: http://www.crosscircuit.com. You may be familiar with some of my work as many of my cartoons have been hosted at KeepAndBearArms.com and by Farah at WorldNetDaily.com (they are no longer hosted at WND because I refused Farah anymore access to them based on the following).

Almost exactly one year ago, Joseph Farah contacted me to get permission to host cartoons at WND. He told me he had no money to license the cartoons, so I told him that if he just placed a link within frames to appear like his site, then I could run my banner ads and therefore receive the due revenues for the hits. He agreed. So Mr. Farah was not paying me for the cartoons and was actually pulling the bandwidth from my server.

Sean Hannity had been writing me about airing some of the cartoons on his show on Fox News "Hannity & Colmes". He began airing a few, which of course sent considerable traffic to my site Crosscircuit.com because this is where he announced on the air that they originated (more on this later). Eventually, many other shows on Fox began airing the cartoons. The first that caught my attention was when "Special Report with Brit Hume" aired one of my cartoons about the Florida recounts, but they erroneously credited it's creation to WorldNetDaily.com. At the height of the recounts a producer from NBC "The Today Show" contacted me and sent a camera crew to interview my wife and I because of the cartoons we were making and the splash they were making during the election.

The next morning when the show aired, not only had my interview been nixed, but they aired the cartoons and credited them again to WND and replaced my interview with one of Rebecca Haglin (Head of Public Relations for WND) and she gave full credit for the productions to WND and never even mentioned my name as creator. WND was only one of many sites linked to my cartoons and had no claim to their creation, creatively, financially, or intellectually. As a matter of fact, Angel Shamaya and Robert Procter of KeepAndBearArms would have more claim than WND as they at least were providing me free server -- bandwidth that Farah was using without compensation.

At this point I began no longer listening to Farah's excuses and contacted Rebecca Haglin directly. This is when I learned that when Hannity was airing my cartoons on his show, that Joseph Farah had contacted her and told her that WND was financing the production of these cartoons and that she needed to be sure that they received full credit when televised. Rebecca is located in New York and was able to head off the airing of the cartoons and tell the producers that WND were the owners of the properties by claiming a "work made for hire" status -- WHICH WAS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!!! These productions were completely financed, written, recorded, animated and published by my wife and I and I am the sole copyright owner.

Finally, the last straw came after I had confronted them with it and within a week Bill O'Reilly aired a cartoon I had just made about Jesse Jackson on his show "The O'Reilly Factor" and Bill again claimed that the cartoon was "put together by World Net Daily". At that point, there was no doubt that every plagiarism was malicious and with intent to defraud.

Farah not only had the audacity to claim credit for my property, but actually got screaming faced mad when Hannity gave me rightful credit for my work according to Rebecca Haglin. She also told me that there are many young journalism students who contact Farah to get their stories published and he gladly obliges as long as he is allowed to take credit for their work. This guy is a plagiarist with a capital "P" and is evidently how he has gotten where he is. I'm sure he knows how ridiculously expensive it is to bring an action to Federal Court for copyright infringement and that only the richest would actually file suit strictly out of principle. This is why he always gives full credit to O'Reilly and Stossel, because they could afford to sue the pants off of him.

I'm sure that Farah will continue to get away with this type behavior for this very reason:; he knows who and who not to plagiarize, but he has built his career thus far off the work of others because he obviously has no original thoughts of his own.

Thanks,

David "Gypsy" Smith




Is Joseph Farah a raving nutcase?

by William Cooper

Veritas News Service - Exclusive, October 3, 2001 -- "If Mr. Cooper has evidence of plagiarism, the proper venue for such charges is the courtroom. Let him produce the evidence - the verified transcripts of his program, for instance. Until then, his lying, hysterical mail will be disposed of by my e-mail filter program." -- Joseph Farah in WND Backroom September 22, 2001

The lying hysterical mail to which Joseph Farah refers is email sent to him by the listeners to my International broadcast of Tuesday, September 18, 2001, who recognized in his column of Thursday, September 20, 2001 an almost verbatim copy of a significant portion of my broadcast of the 8th. After my listeners brought it to my attention I read his column and found the listeners to be absolutely correct. I made no accusation whatsoever against Mr. Farah regarding plagiarism on the air or in email, or in any other venue.

But since Mr. Farah saw fit to make the above cowardly statement behind my back in his subscription-only WND Backroom email list within which he calls me a liar, he leaves me no choice. And so let me now make this charge:

Someone, Mr. Farah, or his quoted newspaper story source, or the source from which I read, I know not which, is without any doubt guilty of plagiarism, but not of me or my broadcast. I was reading verbatim from a book. The last third of Mr. Farah's column is almost word for word verbatim the same as the portion of the book which I read on the air and which I sourced to my audience on September 8th, a fact that my listeners can, will, and have already validated. Neither Joseph Farah, or his quoted newspaper story source, listed or referred to that book as a source of their material. So someone is a plagiarist and it is not me... nor am I a liar.

Furthermore Making a charge behind my back in WND Backroom that he knows is not true is the act of a coward. And it was a mistake for which Joseph Farah owes me an apology whether he tenders it or not. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it. In my experience cowards seldom do what is right.

The question is, why did he do it at all?

Maybe he did it because I have had occasion to question the political position Joseph Farah takes in his columns, and by virtue of the news items that he posts to WorldNetDaily, his website. I have written him when his politics seem to veer mysteriously with the wind. I have never received an answer to any of my communications.

Maybe he did it because I rebuffed his attempts to interview me for an article he intended to write about my battle with the criminal and unconstitutional Internal Revenue Service. I don't grant interviews... to anyone... ever.

Maybe he did it because I have rolled with laughter at his claim that WorldNetDaily is the Internet's #1 news site. WorldNetDaily has never come, in his wildest dreams, even remotely close to the #20 spot. Farah bases his claim on the rating of a private by-subscription-only rating service that rates WorldNetDaily against the other news sites that subscribe to their service. Guess how many news sites are subscribers to their service... as far as I can tell none. Didn't you wonder why there are no hit counters or unique visitor counts anywhere on WorldNetDaily? And Joseph Farah dares call me a liar?

Maybe he did it because I think it odd that a Christian conservative Arab-American spends a great deal of time engaged in speaking to left wing groups, socialists, and Zionists, most of whom display an extreme dislike of Christians, conservatives, and especially Arabs. I think it more than a little weird that they seem to love Joseph Farah, the self proclaimed Christian conservative Arab-American.

Maybe he did it because I think it is strange that despite his attempts to fool us by writing token columns about Freedom and Rights Joseph Farah's WorldNetDaily always carries stories that question or condemn Christian leaders, Christian causes, Constitutionalists, Militia members, American Patriots, Palestinians, the religion of Islam, and Arabs in general. And what's with his constant reference to "conspiracy theorists"? Why would a Christian conservative Arab-American do those things?

Maybe he did it because I think his claim to be a Christian conservative Arab-American is comedic in light of the fact that he severely criticizes those who call themselves Irish-American, African-American, or Polish-American. On more than one occasion Farah has insinuated that hyphenated Americans are not Americans at all. Then acting as an apologist for the crimes of International Zionism, and lending rabid support for anything and everything no matter how horrible, done in the name of the State of Israel, he reminds us that his liberal views are unbiased and should be excused because he is a Christian conservative Arab-American... very strange indeed.

Maybe he did it because he just doesn't like me personally. Some People don't.

Or maybe he did it just because he is a raving nutcase. I'll probably never know... but that's ok because I probably just don't care.
