Natural Petroleum: NO Connection With Biological Matter; abiotic oil noted by oil industry
Seems oil industry publications up to four years ago got around to exposing the intermixed depopulation/artificial high-price structure of the oil market, as an energy scam on their own! Good for them. However, of coruse in a society run by spin, that's about the time when people began to trumpet the unscientific peak oil concept...

Published in Energia, 2001, 22/3, 26-34.
 http://www.gasresources.net/DisposalBioClaims.htm

"The claims which have traditionally been put forward to argue a connection between natural petroleum and biological matter have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and have been established to be baseless."

However, the Rockfeller family and their ilk recommend you continue to be duped because your attempt to believe otherwise endangers their political power and their profit margins. So if you want to endanger their political power, read on. Assorted PIMC links from the very hot debate (or rather the angry denial) of this phenomena.

Understanding this really helps you grasp the whole power structure of the world at present: corporate fascist, fake environmentalist, eugenic (ex-)Nazis, unpunished from WWII coming back in an attempt on your life.

Free Trade: A Misnomer
The past 25 years or so have seen various forms of debates around the costs and benefits of free trade. Free trade is a component of a broader economic model known in the mainstream as neo-liberalism. These debates have been made more intense as proponents and critics of free trade struggle to make their point in the context of the process of globalization.

How Bolton Armed Haiti's Thugs and Killers
It is no surprise that Bolton is at the center of this controversy as well. He has been one of the hard-liners in the State Department who sought the overthrow of Aristide and who bullied intelligence analysts on Haiti who were trying to provide a more-balanced picture. Even his cohort in overthrowing Aristide, Otto Reich, was quoted as stating that they both rightfully went after an intelligence analyst who gave the ''benefit of the doubt'' to Aristide as the democratically elected president.

15 year old anarchist killed by the Police in Mayday in Bogotá, Colombia
News is circulating that yet another anarchist has died due to state repression on Mayday. Within hours of the Dublin anarchist picnic Nicolás David Neira Alvares was clubbed to the ground by up to eight police on the Bogota Mayday march and beaten on the head until he passed out. Police then prevented his comrades getting to him so it was some time before they could get him to hospital where he died earlier today.

Peak Oil is a Scam or a Hoax (and it has /nothing/ to do with biotic vs. abiotic oil)
It is very fashionable for radicals to jump on the "Peak Oil" bandwagon these days, but it's time to pull that wagon off the side of the road. "Peak Oil" is a hoax that is being perpetrated by the fossil fuel industry and blindly parroted by many on the left. Fortunately, I can prove that it is a lot of hot air, smoke, and mirrors by deductive reasoning and a few, simple facts. (Deductive reasoning involves presenting a hypothesis first, and checking to see if it fits the available evidence. Similarly, it involves debunking an accepted theory if it doesn't fit all of the available facts).

New Study Of US Media Pro-Israel/Zionist Bias is Out
study of the Times has generated considerable controversy, with New York Times Public Editor Dan Okrent's column in the paper last Sunday referring readers to the organization's website --  http://www.ifamericansknew.org -- to look into the matter for themselves.

The new study to be released on Monday analyzes two-years of coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news programs. In addition, the report will contain previously unreleased information regarding Associated Press coverage of this conflict.

If Americans Knew Executive Director Alison Weir, who will be presenting the findings, says that these reports should serve as a wake-up call to the American public. "By looking at this coverage statistically, choosing clear, objective categories, we have found an extremely useful, non-subjective tool for measuring the accuracy of media coverage on this extremely important issue. Our findings are highly disturbing. Full and fair reporting on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the ongoing peace process is absolutely necessary if the United States is to act as an honest broker

Top 20 Anomalies / Smoking Guns of 9/11
I've been following this closely since September 12, 2001 from a wide variety of independent media and internet sources -

in my opinion these are most well-documented, credible and reliable stories and evidence to emerge.

this list is just my off-the-cuff, as-I-recall-them from memory of the top 20 or so Smoking Guns (I have hundreds of related web sites bookmarked but am too lazy to include them here, although they can be easily searched on Portland IMC or elsewhere, plus just look down the existing NewsWire today or use the "9/11 investigation" selector button) - in no particular order.

there is no 'conclusion' here (nor may there ever be) about whether it was gross negligence, LIHOP, or direct premeditation, or what exactly these anomalies may 'add up' to . . .

. . . please add your own Smoking Guns to this list below.

(I'm sure I forgot some good ones)

[the "Pentagon plane/missile" is purposely left OFF of here, as I watched that theory emerge (first from a French web site) several months after the event and it has been extensively debunked elsewhere, e.g.  http://www.oilempire.us/bogus.html - plus, the Pentagon could quell any doubts by simply releasing its SecurityCam footage from that day . . . ]

US-based fundamentalist Christians (aka Christianists) and pro-Zionist forces are dually linked as the greatest threat to global peace and stability existing today on earth. Quite literally, their prime goal and intention is to bring the human population closer to the brink of the biblical-revelation-described 'Rapture'.

Articles and their selected excerpts below - with many references and sub-links - explain, in detail, the pervasive and unfettered power that these groups and ideologies have (especially with the advent of GWB administration post-9/11) over the current US military, mass media  http://www.corporations.org/media/ and corporate regime.

What will the new depression be like?
Well kids, this looks like it might be it... Car culture is on the skids. GM & Ford look like they might be going under and they'll probably drag much of the rest of the world economy down with them. The word "depression" has started to get some serious use in the mainstream media in the last few hours (a few hours too late) and it would probably happen even if they weren't allowed to use the word. So what's it, the depression, going to be like? Will another world war drag us out of it? That seems unlikely (seeing as how another world war would probably be uneconomical) but if it's not, what will another world war be like? Oh, the fortune cookie cursed us for we do indeed live in interesting times!

Bush's REAL ID = CONTINENT-WIDE ID! DATASHARE w/ US, MEXICO, CANADA!!! (& gun control)
First, it's bad enough that it was hidden as a line item in a totally unrelated point. Next, we find that it's really a Bush's full blown FOURTH REICH IDENTIFICATION BILL in disguise. Call your Congress people and complain! Take out that line about the REAL ID in this totally unrelated bill!

QUOTE 1: "REAL ID would move America beyond a de facto national ID into new "Big Brother" territory. Title II of the REAL ID Act repeals the Senate-crafted language concerning state driver's licenses from the last Congress' intelligence reform package in favor of even more troubling anti-privacy provisions. The first troubling aspect of the license provisions is the requirement that states link their identity databases and join something called the "Driver License Agreement." That agreement, a proposed interstate compact, has been drafted by AAMVA, the Association of American Motor Vehicle Administrators - a kind of trade association of DMV bureaucrats. The compact, which no state has voluntarily joined, would also allow the states and provinces of Mexico and Canada to join into this database system - without further input from state elected officials."

QUOTE 2: "Provisions in the REAL ID Act could also provide the tools necessary for a backdoor introduction of gun control. The bill would GRANT HOMELAND SECURITY THE POWER TO DETERMINE WHAT ONE NEEDS TO DO TO GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE - and who may or may not get one. Since Americans now need a driver's license to purchase a gun, DHS would also have the ability to control who can exercise their gun rights. Gun-rights activists are concerned that under a future anti-gun administration, a mainstream gun-rights group could be determined to be a "terrorist organization," and its members ineligible for a driver's license."

Standardizing everything besides the typeface on state driver's licenses and requiring such a document at every airport is a de facto internal passport.

Support our Troops to Spread Fascism Around the World!!!
This is important because it probably slipped by the government censor at CNN and is or was on their site (don't write saying it's not there anymore, duh!). The story goes much deeper than CNN was willing to print and turns out that a policeman outside the loop planned and executed a bust on one of the major drug and gun running operations that "Our Glorious Brave Troops" are carrying out in Colombia. Of course, it is related to the worldwide operation they are carrying out in combination with the CIA, who has been doing this same kind of business for decades and is now showing the army the ropes, which aims to make money for operations that substitute truly democratic governments with right wing paramilitary juntas and fascist and falangist parties all around the world.
