Motive, means, opportunity and the ability to cover it all up with decades of holocaust induced sympathy. Blame Israel for 9/11? I must be an anti-Semite. I am not. What a perfect cover for crimes against humanity. The Rothschilds are behind this like they have been behind every other atrocity during the last bloody century. The time to wake up is long gone. This is a NIGHTMARE.

When you repeatedly hear city, county, state and federal officials blather on about how important Portland's participation in this multi-million dollar war game is for learning how to respond to emergency situations in a coherent, collaborative manner...realize that it is BS, because the federal government doesn't even release important information from such terror drills in a timely manner.

Realize that your elected officials are just taking in millions of dollars from the Dept. of Homeland Security and offering Portland as a laboratory for this overly politicized, corrupt agency of the treasonous Bush Regime to run an experiment of TERROR, likely involving use of the National Guard and even contractors like Blackwater.

I contacted our City Council members and the Mayor about this just before the City Council Meeting this morning. Please follow up and keep up the pressure. The drill is scheduled to begin on 10/15, not next week, as is being repeated in news coverage.

We need that list of the phone numbers, and the email addresses are below.

The Day of the Dead season (Oct. 31- Nov. 2) is dedicated to souls that have passed onto the "other side." The Day of the Dead has Mexican origins and families throughout Mexico gather, throwing parties with loud music and food, around relatives' and loved ones' graves, sometimes all night long. Pagans also say the souls of the Dead are closest to the world of the living during this period and pagans have similar celebrations this time of year.

The Bush-Cheney Gang lied the country into the Iraq War. Now, Alan Greenspan, the ex-Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserves, has admitted: "'Everyone' knows the Iraq War was largely about oil!" Greenspan should be forced to testify, under oath, before a Grand Jury and/or the House Judiciary Committee about this amazing disclosure. The American people are entitled to the truth and the liars should be punished.

The Rev. Billy Graham, a darling of the Evangelical Right, has never seen a U.S. war that he couldn't bless. He once advocated that President Richard M. Nixon bomb the "dikes" in the north of Vietnam. He also criticized the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. for speaking out against the war. A new book, "The Prince of War: Billy Graham's Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire," by Cecil Bothwell exposes the camera-mugging preacher as a serial warmonger.
