*Bush Names Wolfowitz al-Qaeda President - Hopes to Undermine Terror
Network *
*_Washington__:_ In a bold move to undermine the international terror
network, President George W. Bush today named former deputy defence
secretary and World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz to be the new
president of al-Qaeda.
Mr. Wolfowitz, who has no experience running an international terror
organisation, struck many Washington insiders as an unlikely choice for
the al-Qaeda job.
But in a White House ceremony introducing his nominee for the top terror
post, President Bush indicated that Mr. Wolfowitz's role in planning the
war in Iraq and bringing scandal to the World Bank showed that he was
/"just the man"/ to bring chaos and disorder to al- Qaeda.
/"I've seen Paul Wolfowitz in action,"/ said Mr. Bush, a beaming Mr.
Wolfowitz at his side. /"If anyone can mess up al-Qaeda, it's this guy."/
Several key details in the president's plan still need to be worked out,
such as how exactly Mr. Wolfowitz will infiltrate al-Qaeda and rise to
the top position in its ranks.
/"Al-Qaeda closely screens all of its top officers,"/ said Hassan El-
Medfaii, head of the terror network's human resources department/.
"It's not like the Defence Department or the World Bank."/
Even if he ascends to its top post, it remains to be seen whether Mr.
Wolfowitz will be happy at al-Qaeda, according to Professor Davis
Logsdon, chairman of the Wolfowitz Studies Department at the University
of Minnesota.
/"Al-Qaeda is not like the World Bank,"/ Professor Logsdon said. /"For
one thing, it's much harder to meet girls there."/

*i was booked to speak in the FUTURE OF FESTIVALS mindstorm at the
Sunrise Festival this weekend until i realised it clashed with the zippy
picnic and i couldn't go. the fact that getting my ally Jaunty in (the
dog) was a grey area was another reason to make me change my mind. i'd
been intending to smuggle Jaunty onto the stage and then say this:
I simply cannot imagine future festivals without dog. dog was invited
into human community at the very beginning; indeed i would maintain that
we would not be at our present level of civilisation without the peace
of mind and early warning system dog provided.
i loathe the idea that festivals can only spread by self-emasculating
along the way. we MUST find the right way forward or we shall end up
with yuppie jamborees, whether it's by insisting all dogs wear muzzles
or they get licensed at 24 hour test camps before being allowed in.
banning dogs automatically, as is happening now, is just avoiding a no
doubt complex issue, while being as crazy, schizophrenic and unbalanced
(see Gurdjieff below) as legalising pot while illegalising tobacco.
does nothing ever /really/ change?
/"Knowledge// which is not in accordance with //Being// cannot be large
enough for, or sufficiently suited to, man's real needs. It will
_always_ be a //knowledge// of one thing together with ignorance of
another; a //knowledge// of the detail without a //knowledge// of the
whole; a //knowledge// of the form without a //knowledge// of the
essence." /Gurdjieff.

*UK Upper Classes Go Raving Mad *
*/"//Raves can be just as romantic as flower shows//"/ *
*Princess Michael of Kent's daughter, Lady Gabriella Windsor, declared
Britain's debutante season over last week, suggesting that the modern
high society lady should ditch garden parties and balls for Ibiza
clubbing and music festivals like /Burning Man// /instead.//
/"Raves can be just as romantic as flower shows,"/ Lady Gabriella
decreed in top people's magazine /Country Life/. /"The Earl and Countess
of Mornington courted at Space in Ibiza,'/ she pointed out.
Her ladyship also revealed that /'the hardest-core partiers'/ now do
America's /Burning Man/ (/'there's a group called Pink Pussy, which is
all the Euro toffs in stripper outfits'/, she said) and suggested/ 'a
lot of the smaller festivals have gained more momentum as a result of
Glastonbury losing its edge."/
/Glade Festival/ organiser Nick Ladd, who's looking after the
alternative dance area at /Glastonbury/, was not so sure, however.
/"I think its fair to say that since the super-fence went up the crowd
at Glastonbury has changed; it now consists largely of people who can
afford 130 quid for a ticket for a start whereas before 60,000 skint
nutters would be over the fence and getting' hammered on Diamond White
(cider) at the Stone Circle and creating a very special kind of chaos."/

*/If //Channel 4// aided a //coup// against the UK government/ *

*/would _anyone_ be supporting the //renewal// of its licence?/ *
*Colin Burgon, Labour MP for Elmet. *
*Neoconservative forces, via compliant media outlets and Christian right
groupings within the European parliament, are preparing their latest
attack on Hugo Chávez and the government of Venezuela. The latest focus
of the campaign is the decision of Venezuela's broadcasting authorities
not to renew the licence of the private television channel RCTV. The
anti-Chávez apparatus once again presents a test for Foreign Office
ministers.
Washington's outriders characterise the decision as an affront to
freedom of speech, yet the facts speak in louder tones. Over 80% of
Venezuelan television and radio outlets are privately owned; this
excludes a widely available number of cable and satellite television
networks. Of this 80%, significant sections are owned by corporate
groups. According to a recent /New York Times/ editorial, this has led
to a situation in which /"even the best news outlets tend to be openly
ideological... so the owners' views can permeate reporting"./
Almost all Venezuelan newspapers remain in private hands. *
* *The press is free to report, and express opinions, without
government interference. *
* *Most do so with considerable brio on a daily basis. *
* *No media outlet has encountered licensing problems for the
expression of political views. *
* *No journalist has been imprisoned or punished for report or comment.*
*
In RCTV's case, the broadcaster failed to meet basic public-interest
standards. The criterion for this assessment is similar to that used by
the US Federal Communications Commission. RCTV will be free to
broadcast via cable and satellite, which are available across the country.
In the UK, if Channel 4 aided an attempted coup against the government
that resulted in civil unrest and even death, would anyone be supporting
the renewal of its licence? RCTV has lost its licence because its
wealthy owners slanted news coverage to provide support to the April
2002 coup against Chávez and the elected government.
As the coup failed and Venezuelans questioned Chavez's /"resignation"/,
RCTV prohibited correspondents from airing these developments.
Fighting The Washington Consensus
So what hope that our representatives in the EU might withstand
rightwing pressure and argue /against/ a discriminatory move against
Venezuela at a meeting in Strasbourg next week? If the Foreign Office's
public strategy document /Latin America// to 2020/ is anything to go by,
not very much.
Lord Triesman, the document's main author and a Foreign Office minister,
outlines an adherence to free-market liberalism and singularly defined
democracy as the prerequisites for UK engagement in Latin America. The
document shows our government remains committed to the neo-liberal model
as a means of tackling the highest levels of social inequality in the
world. However, anyone interested in nations such as Venezuela or
Bolivia can see that the "/Washington// consensus"/ trade and aid
packages have failed the most desperate people of those nations.
It is not too late for a Labour government to engage with those who wish
to achieve justice for their peoples. Events in Strasbourg next week
provide an opportunity for the UK government to show reason and goodwill.

*the single biggest israeli _lie_, *
*parroted for decades by every israel-supporter, is that the surrounding
arab states attacked first. i swallowed it too (though wondering in
the back of my mind) but today i found this /New York Times/ quote from
a Prime Minister Menachem Begin speech in 1982:
/"In June, 1967, we had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in
the Sinai approaches do not prove that President Nasser was really about
to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. //_We decided to
attack him_//."/
there was a whole list of such quotes actually:
In February, 1968, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin told French newspaper
/Le Monde/: /"I do not believe Nasser wanted war. The two divisions
which he sent into Sinai on May 14 _would not have been enough to
unleash an offence against Israel_. //He knew it and we knew it//."/
but, israel-supporters will insist (at least until the evidence shuts
their lying mouths tho without embarrassment) is that it was to pre-empt
a /possible /attack. right? wrong:
/"16 years of planning had gone into those initial 8 minutes. We lived
with the plan, we slept on the plan, we ate the plan. Constantly we
perfected it."/ General Mordechai Hod, the actual Commander of the
Israeli Air Force during the Six-Day War. 1978.
pretty definitive stuff then. israel always intended to spread itself
around the area. for its own security of course, oh why in goddess'
name do i STILL fall for this lying self-serving shit!? /"plucky little
israel"/ my sacred ass!
but you can't blame poor defenceless little zillion-dollar-armed israel
from worrying about it, right? wrong!
General Haim Barlev, Israeli Defence Forces Chief, told /Ma'ariv/ in
April, 1972: /"We were not threatened with genocide on the eve of the
six-day war, _and we had never even _//_thought_//_ of such a
possibility_//."/
up!*
and while we're on the subject of LIES,
here's a gigantic GOVERNMENT LIE that
a) bummed a whole generation
b) kikked a budding green movement in the gonads
c) very possibly doomed our planet to extinction by
postponing until today the _radical change in western behaviour_ which
the victims advocated AND embodied.
The _FAKE_
LSD-Chromosome
Damage _SCARE_
In 1967, at the very height of world-changing Hippy culture, /Science/
mag published an article stating that LSD caused chromosome breakage.
/"By evening, the charge that LSD could break chromosomes was in all the
nation's media."/ Peter Stafford: /'Psychedelics Encyclopedia.'/
"THE HIDDEN EVILS OF LSD", Saturday Evening Post, Aug 12, 1967.
But the entire story was basically a government-funded _scam_ based on
the examination of a /single/ patient!!
For the next 5 years the masses, who had been loving and increasingly
sharing the "new" "young" views of the hippy generation (PRO PEACE, PRO
PLANET, PRO SPIRIT, PRO SEX etc who could be against it?!), was
bombarded with article after article describing the link between LSD and
chromosomal damage, both in vitro and in users and their offspring.
These (incorrect & badly researched) articles appeared first in
respected peer-reviewed journals, to be blown to horrific proportions by
the popular media, leading to sensational articles decrying the
mutations that would be unleashed on future generations.
> > they couldn't find any current problems, see?
"NEW RESEARCH FINDS LSD IS CAUSING GENETIC DAMAGE THAT POSES A THREAT OF
HAVOC NOW AND APPALLING ABNORMALITIES FOR GENERATIONS YET UNBORN" is a
typical example.
Can you /imagine/ how every trusting hippy whose life had been radically
enhanced by acid was made to feel?! Of course a few independent souls
smelled a rat, but it was /'Science' /after all!
By the mid-1970s, of course, the tide had turned and the scientific
literature generally supported the revised opinion that LSD does NOT
cause chromosomal breakage OR birth defects.
> > guess what. it wasn't all over the front pages of the media.
How could such an issue progress as far as it did?! With the
authorities and authoritarian types friendly to reports of negative
consequences of LSD use, a litany of elementary scientific and research
errors were ignored by the journals that published the findings. And it
wasn't until enough research could be conducted to /counteract/ the
initial momentum that saner opinions, and better science, prevailed.
> > which government figures and poodle university scientists have blood,
psychotic breakdowns and depressions on their hands has STILL not been
identified. to say nothing of the terrible price to the planet!
[Extracted remix from Earth Erowid's Albert Hofmann's Collection of LSD
and Psilocybin-Related Papers. / The Albert Hofmann Collection contains
nearly 70 articles on this topic, an excellent example of the scientific
and cultural moral panic that took place in the late 1960s and early
1970s/.]

here's something from last week's Guardian that got me wondering....
*
*
*Britain's GuardianNewspaper Promotes *
*Bush War Propaganda Against Iran *
*/For the Guardian to simply broadcast the allegations below in a
sensationalist //front-page splash// is a gross abdication of editorial
responsibility, particularly given its reputation as a critic of the
Iraq war and an opponent of military hostilities against Iran. /
/Yet the //_only_// attempt to question an //_unidentified US military
spokesman_//'s entirely unsubstantiated claims is a pro-forma sentence
in the final paragraph: //"Iranian officials flatly deny US and British
allegations of involvement in internal violence in Iraq."///
by Chris Marsden
The May 22 Guardian front page offered a propaganda conduit for the Bush
administration to provide pre-emptive justification for an escalation of
the US military /"surge"/ in Iraq and possible military action against
Iran.
Under the headline, _"IRAN'S SECRET PLAN FOR SUMMER OFFENSIVE TO FORCE
US OUT OF IRAQ,"_ the newspaper printed almost without qualification
statements by an anonymous /"senior US official in Baghdad"./ With no
other source cited and no evidence asked for, the Guardian reported,
/"Iran is secretly forging ties with al-Qaeda elements and Sunni Arab
militias in Iraq in preparation for a summer showdown with coalition
forces intended to tip a wavering US Congress into voting for full
military withdrawal, US officials say."/
The anonymous official then states, /"Iran is fighting a proxy war in
Iraq and it's a very dangerous course for them to be following. //They
are already committing daily acts of war against US and British forces.//"/
> > oh yes? evidence? fotos?
He continues, /"They [Iran] are behind a lot of high-profile attacks
meant to undermine US will and British will, such as the rocket attacks
on Basra palace and the Green Zone. The attacks are directed by the
Revolutionary Guard who are connected right to the top [of the Iranian
government]."/
The Guardian article, authored by Simon Tisdall, further suggests
there's a link between Iranian foreign policy aims and
Democratic-controlled Congress's criticisms of US Iraq war policy,
thereby _echoing White House smears that war critics are aiding and
abetting "terrorist" organisations_.
There is a great deal riding on Bush attempts to portray all opposition
to its Iraq policy as a capitulation to Iran. Tisdall acknowledges that
/"Washington analysts and commentators predict that Gen Petraeus's
report to the White House and Congress in early September will be a
pivotal moment in the history of the war - and a decision to begin a
troop drawdown or continue with the surge policy will hinge on the
outcome."/
The senior official in Baghdad also insists that US forces have
/"turned-up ... huge stockpiles of Iranian weapons" /and adds,/ "The
relationships between Iran and groups like al-Qaeda are very fluid ...
the whole Iran-al-Qaeda linkup is very sinister."/
Noting, almost in passing, that Shia Iran /"has previously eschewed
collaboration with Sunni and al-Qaeda insurgents,"// /it then blithely
reports that /"US officials now say they have firm evidence that Tehran
has switched tack as it senses a chance of victory in Iraq." /And, as
if that's not enough, it quotes/ / /"proof that Iran has reversed its
previous policy in Afghanistan and is now supporting and supplying the
Taliban's campaign/."/ /
The article contains an ominous threat. It declares, /"Any US decision
to retaliate against Iran on its own territory could be taken only at
the highest political level in Washington ... But he indicated that
//_American patience is wearing thin_//."/

*'Sicko' is Socko in Cannes! *
*A Letter from _Michael Moore_*
*Well, our premiere of /"Sicko"/ at the Cannes Film Festival has been an
overwhelming success. The 2,000 people inside the /Lumiere Theatre/
were alternately in tears and laughing during the two-hour film - and
when it was over, they gave it a standing ovation that seemed to go on
for nearly 15 minutes!
Many came up to me and said (and critics seem to agree) that this is my
best film yet. I don't know about that, and it seems weird to compare
any of these movies in the first place. But I do feel safe in saying
that _I am very, very happy with this film_ and I can't wait to show it
to you when it opens on June 29th.
Cannes is a crazy place. There are film lovers here from nearly every
country in the world. And then there are the people in /"show
business."/ These dark forces have virtually ruined this art form
(invented by the French and nurtured to brilliance by the country I call
home). There are so many bad, awful films now and less and less people
are going to the movies. Many who run Hollywood believe that the
American people are too stupid to enjoy a film that respects their
intelligence.
At the press screening for /"Sicko,"/ the Wall Street Journal reported
that hardened reporters and critics wept. Even those who have been
harsh to me in the past, or who have not agreed with my politics, were
moved. Aside from my stated desire that "Sicko" ignite a fire for free,
universal health care (and a larger wish that we, as Americans, do a
better job of treating each other with a true sense of solidarity and
respect), I continue to hope that I can make a contribution to the art
of cinema.
The /New York Post/ has reported that the Bush administration, in
addition to going after me for filming scenes in or near Cuba, may now
go after the 9/11 rescue workers I took with me to get the medical care
they were denied by our own government. I couldn't make up irony like
this if I wanted to, and I will do whatever is necessary to defend the
human right of these true American heroes to receive the medical
attention they deserve.
We've also received word that the HMO and _pharmaceutical industries_
are gearing up to fight /"Sicko."/ We received so many great
whistleblower letters while we were making the movie from employees of
these companies. We'd like to hear from you again! Send us the
internal memos and any other plans you run across at the company copying
machine or internet server. It will help us to stay ahead of whatever
they are up to, and it will also give us a chance for a bit of fun at
the industry's expense.
I will soon have a special section of my website devoted to "Sicko."
Until then, we'll move forward toward our June 29th release date. Hope
to see you all there that weekend!

*Knowledge + Being = Understanding*
*/"There are two lines along which man's development proceeds," /said
George Gurdjieff/, "The line of //knowledge// and the line of
//being//. In right evolution the line of //knowledge// and the line of
being develop simultaneously, parallel to and helping each other. But
if the line of //knowledge// gets too far ahead of the line of
//being//, or if the line of //being// gets too far ahead of the line of
//knowledge//, man's development goes wrong, and sooner or later it must
come to a standstill./
/ /
/"People understand what '//knowledge'// means. And they understand the
possibility of different levels of knowledge. They understand that
//knowledge// may be lesser or greater, that is to say, of one quality
or another. But they do not understand this in relation to //being//.
'//Being'// for them means simple existence to which is opposed just
'non-existence'. They do not understand that being or existence may be
of very different levels or categories. /
/ /
/"Take for instance the //being// of a mineral or of a plant. It is a
different thing. The //being// of an animal and of a man is again a
different //being//. But the //being// of two people can differ from
one another more than the being of a mineral and an animal. //_This is
exactly what people do not understand._///
/ /
/"And they do not understand that //knowledge// _depends_ on //being//.
Not only do they not understand this, but //_they definitely do not wish
to understand it._// And especially in Western culture it is considered
that a man may possess great //knowledge//, for example he may be an
able scientist, make discoveries, advance science, and at the same time
he may be, //_and has the right to be_//, a petty, egoistic, mean,
envious, vain, naive and absent-minded man. It seems to be considered
here that a professor must always forget his umbrella everywhere./
/ /
/"//And yet is his being//. And people think that his //knowledge//
does not depend on his //being//. People of Western culture put great
value on the level of a man's knowledge but they do not value the level
of a man's //being// and are not ashamed of the low level of their own
//being//. They do not even understand what it means./
/ /
/"If //knowledge// gets too far ahead of //being//, it becomes
//_theoretical and abstract_// and //inapplicable to life//, or actually
harmful, because instead of serving life and helping people to struggle
with the difficulties they meet, //_it begins to complicate man's life,
brings new difficulties into it, new troubles and calamities which were
not there before._/
/"The reason for this is that //knowledge// which is not in accordance
with //being// cannot be large enough for, or sufficiently suited to,
man's real needs. It will _always_ be a //knowledge// of one thing
together with ignorance of another thing; a //knowledge// of the detail
without a //knowledge// of the whole; a //knowledge// of the form
without a //knowledge// of the essence./
/ /
/ /
/"It is necessary to understand the relation of //knowledge// and
//being// to understanding. Knowledge is one thing, understanding is
another./
/ /
/"People often confuse these concepts and do not clearly grasp the
difference between them./
/ /
/"Knowledge// by itself does not give understanding. Nor is
//understanding// increased by an increase in //knowledge// alone.
//Understanding// depends on the relation of knowledge to //being//.
//Understanding// is the resultant of //knowledge// and //being//. And
//knowledge// and //being// must not diverge too far, otherwise
//understanding// will prove to be far removed from either. At the same
time the relation of //knowledge// to //being// does not change with a
mere growth of knowledge. It changes only when //being// grows
simultaneously with //knowledge//. In other words, //understanding//
grows only with the growth of //being//./
/ /
/"In ordinary thinking, people do not distinguish //understanding// from
//knowledge//. Therefore they accumulate knowledge, or that which they
call //knowledge//, but they do not know how to accumulate
//understanding// and do not bother about it./
/ /
/ /
/"As a rule, when people realise they do not //understand// something
they try to find a name for what they do not //understand//, and when
they find a name they say they //understand//. Unfortunately, people
are usually satisfied with names. A man who knows a great many names,
that is, a great many words, is deemed to //understand// a great deal -
again excepting, of course, any sphere of practical activity wherein
his ignorance very soon becomes apparent."/

Hello Fraser,
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading /"Monkey's Trip, A
Short History of the Human Species"/. Thanks for the great read!
I shared it on a forum I participate on.
I look forward to reading more of your ideas and what you have to say.
I was a BPC student back in the early - mid 90's so I attended a few of
Terence's workshops and other events which sparked many ideas about this
subject.

Bilderberg 2007 Participant List Leaked!
/Author Danny Estulin has managed to get hold of this year's participant
list BEFORE the event. _THIS IS UNHEARD OF_. Please circulate it to
all your National Press and broadcast media to give them as little
excuse as possible for ignoring what's arguably _the most important
global political event of the year_./
This years' _Bilderberg_ conference is the big one. If Kissinger and
the steering committee can convince the Turks, through threats and
bribery, to go for the NeoCon 'regime change' agenda for Iran we can
expect a further _Middle Eastern bloodbath & Islamic genocide_.
Let's hope and pray that the Turkish decision makers and political
classes are not that stupid.
