Cincinnati's links to the Oklahoma City bombing
By LESLIE BLADE and GREGORY FLANNERY There's something either poetic or frightening about Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Kenny of Cincinnati serving on a peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. The 1991 Oak Hills High School graduate is an admitted bank robbery conspirator, founding member of an Aryan hate group and associate of the late Timothy McVeigh. How Kenny got into the Army in spite of his criminal history -- and his white supremacist tattoos -- is something of a puzzle. So is his promotion just months after the Army convicted him on morals charges involving an 11-year-old girl. But what really distinguishes Kenny is his alleged relationship with the man who killed 168 people by blowing up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995. A new book based on death row interviews with McVeigh mentions Kenny five times.

Beyond Democrats and Republicans
Okay gang, we're pulling ahead. Kerry and the Democrats are going down. They declared war on us so let's kill them dead.
i never thought i'd say this, but i read an article in the Oregonian that actually hit the target in the bullseye, or very close to it. The article, Full view of city's urban renewal lacking, by Randy Gregg, appeared in Sunday's paper. It's a review of the American Institute of Architects exhibit "Good Citizens Are the Riches of a City" showing in town. The exhibit was put together by the Portland Development Commission (PDC), and its theme is the history of Urban Planning in the city. Naturally, as Gregg points out, the PDC assembled what is essentially "a commercial for itself" with claimed successes highlighted and obvious failures mostly excised. Urban renewal in the United States is usually a racist and classist enterprise; for decades, targets of demolition across the country have been black neighborhoods and money-poor ethnic enclaves to make room for ugly "development", parking lots, or freeways. Urban renewal projects have destroyed many precious, vital places with a thoroughness that could only otherwise be accomplished through war-time bombing. The perpetrators have been, as Gregg points out, "a bunch of white guys".
Gregg does not shy away from any of these truths about the effects of urban renewal in Portland or the classism and racism at its roots. Most surprisingly, at the end of his column -- in describing a sculpture submitted for a proposed restoration of Ross Island -- Gregg raises an artist's question of what history will view as the greater crime: Ross Island Sand & Gravel's ravaging of the natural environment, or the act of burning trucks belonging to them in protest of their ecocidal activities. Whoah! With this last paragraph, Gregg gives that famous arson the most balanced and least hysterical treatment that has ever appeared in the Oregonian to my knowledge. This is where the discussion should have started in the first place, and it's too late now for the people since jailed. Of course, this article by Randy Gregg is one of those exceptions that proves the rule; the rest of the paper remains dismally shallow and biased, and shows no signs of changing.
Time to commit Democratcide.
I am launching a major investigation into whether the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group is being secretly financed by the Kerry campaign. For that group began Monday airing ads drawing attention to John Kerry's 1971 testimony against the Vietnam War.

"...9/11 is a story that will never end, precisely because neither side in the debate will ever believe the other side. It doesn't matter how many facts are unearthed. History isn't made by facts. It's made by interpreting facts. In this case, each side can go on forever, fitting all the facts into its preferred interpretation...."

"George W. Bush's homosexual relationsip, since about puberty, with Victor Ashe, long-time Mayor of Knoxville. [Both of them are from the same cohort of Skull and Bones.] When some in Congress began inquiries in the fall of 2003, Ashe in December, 2003, gave up being Knoxville Mayor and was appointed by George W. Bush, the occupant and resident of the White House, as the U.S. Ambassador to Poland. That is, getting Ashe out of the U.S. jurisdiction, not available to nosey Congressmen. Bush and Ashe are both members of the satanic cult, "Skull & Bones", headquartered in a windowless building,called "The Tomb" on the campus of Yale University. Part of the initiation procedure is for the new proposed member to divulge his entire sexual history, to several other Bonesmen, so that when he is shoved up into high office, government, finance, etc., he can be blackmailed into silence. The new member has to cavort, au naturel, sometimes more than once, with another Bonesman in a double-size coffin filled with mud. An older Bonesman member has to also participate in such proceedings. This was done by John F. Kerry slightly older than George W. Bush. the secret pictures of this, reportedly ended up in the possession of the picture editor of a group of magazines run by American Media, Inc., AMI, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

This is a review of some of the most questionable groups in the 9-11 truth movement.
Worth reading the affiliations and funding patterns of different institutions and/or biases in the huge box called 'the 9-11 truth movement.' She claims several of these groups are using the 9-11 truth issue to spin for national/democratic demotion. Some of the most well funded and snazzy even have very interesting pro-corporate globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) connections or desires. If know thy enemy is sturdy advice, know one's enemy's who dresses in sheep's clothing is better advice. By 'enemy' I suppose I personally mean pro-corporate globalists and people who see that removing the nation state's democratic and economic underpinnings, or removing all reflections of localism, is somehow 'progressive.' However, even though I would find some other cultural aspects of globalism definiately progressive, politically and economically so far it is very regressive and feudal. I have noticed a few of her points, though I have missed a lot more of them--until now. I would make a much greater difference than she does between facts/events and spin/interpretation. There is still a lot of 9-11 truth out there, regardless of how you spin it. Worth putting in the 9-11 archive on Portland IMC...
![]() Powell's extraordinary outburst is alleged to have taken place during a telephone conversation with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. The two became close friends during the intense negotiations in the summer of 2002 to build an international coalition for intervention via the United Nations. The 'crazies' are said to be Vice-President Dick Cheney, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz. Provocatively, the phrase 'fucking crazies' will be quoted on the jacket of the book, according to a source at the publisher.

Letter written to an undecided voter I met in a bar. I realize this will not go far enough for some, but it is an attempt to remain somewhat rational.
IF YOU CAUGHT Bush's acceptance speech, you noticed the long pauses and the painstakingly slow delivery. At times, during these pauses, it seemed as if the president's lips were moving, even though the audience could not make out the words. As a public service, our experts labored long to reconstruct much of W's unexpurgated talking and stalking points.
