Nothing. They're just the only newsgroups that John the Idiot knows how to post to.

Dear friends,
Both an eye-opening BBC documentary and my own personal experience as a presidential interpreter expose disturbing manipulations in the war on terror. The BBC documentary and two other highly recommended videos are available online for free viewing at links provided below. My own personal experience working in secret meetings with several presidents and other top officials as an interpreter for the US Department of State are also described below. Links are provided to recent articles in the mainstream media about my experiences. At the end of this email are empowering suggestions on how you can help to strengthen democracy and build a brighter future for us all.
The Power of Nightmares. This revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests. The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with top officials and experts in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who is behind all of the fear-mongering.
This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has been used to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning over ever more power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas. The Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a powerful, united terrorist organization waiting to strike our societies is largely an illusion. Wherever one looks for al-Qaeda, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the "sleeper cells" in America, they find that the British and Americans are chasing a phantom enemy. For all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is a must-watch video.
Available for free viewing at http://207.44.245.159/video1037.htm (full written transcript also provided) For an excellent review of this documentary in the Los Angeles Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-scheer11jan11,0,5399604.story If LA Times link doesn't work, this review is also available at http://www.WantToKnow.info/050111latimes
In my own experience as an interpreter for US and foreign presidents, I have personally witnessed some of the manipulations mentioned in the above documentary. Having worked as an Indonesian interpreter with the US Department of State for over 18 years, I recently testified to this in the widely publicized trial of Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. Among other things, Mr. Ba'asyir is accused by US authorities of being the mastermind behind JI (Jemaah Islamiah), which is alleged to be a sister organization of Al Qaeda. Many Indonesians are quite skeptical of these allegations. Like me and the BBC video, they question whether JI was largely fabricated by powerful elite groups with hidden agendas.
At the trial, I testified about a Sept. 2002 secret meeting at which I interpreted for President of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri, US Ambassador Ralph Boyce, National Security Council representative Karen Brooks, and a special assistant sent personally by President Bush (who revealed privately to me that she was a CIA agent). The "special assistant" asked President Megawati to secretly capture and turn over Abu Bakar Ba'asyir to the United States. Yet US authorities have continually denied ever putting any pressure on Jakarta to act against Ba'asyir. To read articles about my recent testimony in the Boston Globe and BBC, and to read some of what I've written on this and more, see below.

Over a year before this secret meeting, a trusted friend gave me some powerful, disturbing information which opened my eyes to large-scale manipulations of which I had previously been completely unaware. This information involved the public testimony of over 20 government and military witnesses whose credentials could not be questioned. The information revealed in their testimony clearly did not benefit them personally. In fact, it threatened their careers. Yet though these brave individuals testified in public with large numbers of reporters present, only one newspaper in the US reported on this major occurrence. The media was clearly complicit in keeping this disturbing information hidden from the public.
Since my eyes were opened four years ago, I have dedicated myself to uncovering all that is going on behind the scenes. I discovered and became deeply involved with a loosely organized international network of researchers who have committed themselves to researching major cover-ups of which very few are aware, and to spreading the word, so that we might all work together to return to a full, open democracy which supports all people in our good world. In early 2003, I established the website WantToKnow.info in order to make the results of this research available to the public. On this website, you will find concise summaries of reliable facts and information on a number of major cover-ups. All information is verifiable using the sources provided.
If you are interested in learning more, besides visiting the website and viewing the revealing BBC documentary, two other eye-opening videos are available online for free viewing. The first is a short clip that raises key questions about what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. The second is a documentary which exposes critical information on 9/11 not covered by the 9/11 commission. I also highly recommend a third excellent documentary on the erosion of civil liberties which, though not available for free viewing, can be ordered online. All of these revealing videos expose serious manipulations around the war on terror.
Pentagon Strike. This short, yet powerful film raises important questions regarding what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. Only five-minutes in length, it is well worth watching.
Available for free viewing at http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php
In Plane Site. The informative news website Information Clearning House has made available this revealing 52-minute film on their website at the link below. This powerful documentary raises many disturbing issues which the 9/11 Commission completely failed to address. Watch this highly revealing video and inform your friends and colleagues. Even if only a few of the key facts in these two videos are true, it is clear that vital information is being hidden from the public. Both of these engaging 9/11 videos are helping many previously unaware people to wake up to the fact that we need a real, unbiased investigation into what happened on that fateful day.
For free viewing of In Plane Site: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6847.htm (small picture) Free full-screen viewing, though low video quality: http://www.pacinlaw.org/awareness/in_plane_site.html For the video's website, which includes some short trailers: http://www.911inplanesite.com/
Unconstitutional. In this most excellent documentary, interviews with ranking members of Congress, top legal experts, and even a former CIA chief describe many insidious efforts to take away privacy and freedoms guaranteed under the constitution for over 200 years. Compelling video footage shows US citizens, from law-abiding store clerks to a US Olympian, who have been the victims of unconstitutional policies established under the Patriot Act. Members of Congress describe the replacement of the previously agreed upon Patriot Act by another version quietly slipped into its place just hours before the final vote in Congress, leaving no one time to read the many devastating changes inserted at the last minute. Call your friends together to watch this engaging film, and to join in the growing movement to uphold democracy and the US Constitution.

Or even better, go straight to http://www.WantToKnow.info/9-11cover-up10pg for a detailed 10-page summary. All information provided is taken from major media sources. You can easily verify each fact listed in both of these summaries by using the links provided to read the original articles on the major media websites from which the facts were taken.

 | Dick Cheney, when he was George H.W. Bush's Secretary of Defense worked hard to privatize military support services. The primary benefactor of this effort was Haliburton. When Dick Cheney left his post as Secretary of Defense he, without having had a single day of business experience in his life was made C.E.O. of Haliburton...
