1.1) How did George Bush jr. get into office?
http://www.gregpalast.com/ :
"Directed by Emmy-award winner Danny Schechter, the 57-minute documentary follows BBC
television reporter Greg Palast as he discovers how Katherine Harris removed up to 57,000
legal voters from registries - most black - five months before the 2000 election."

1.2) How free are journalists in the USA?

"The media are facing an 'unprecedented' degree of control of information from the US and UK
military and defence agencies, according to Sky's head of news, Nick Pollard."
(Up)
1.3) How totalitarian is the U.S.A. Patriot Act?
(Link weg ..)
"On October 26 Bush signed the USA/Patriot Act, which vastly strengthened the powers of the
police over civil society. The extension of secret police powers was approved almost
unanimously by Congress (most of whose members never read the law). Every clause of this
law violated the U.S. Constitution. Under this law: (a) any federal law enforcement agency
may secretly enter any home or business, collect evidence, not inform the citizen of the
entry, and then use the evidence (seized or planted) to convict the occupant of a crime; (b)
any police agency has the power to monitor all Internet traffic and emails, intercept cell
phones without warrant of millions of “suspects”; (c) any Federal police agency can invade
any business premises and seize all records on the basis that it is “connected” with a
terrorist investigation. Citizens who publicly protest these arbitrary, invasive police actions
can be arrested. The USA/Patriot Act, like its totalitarian counterparts, has a vague, loose
definition of “terrorism” that allows it to repress any dissident organization and protest
activity. According to section 802 of the Act, terrorism is defined as “activities that involve
acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United
States…(and) appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population (or)...to
influence the policy of the government by intimidation or coercion.” Any anti-globalization
protest, such as occurred in Seattle, can now be labeled “terrorist,” its leaders and
participants arrested, their homes and offices searched, documents seized, and, if they are

not citizens, shipped to military tribunals."
(Up)
1.4) How totalitarian is the Total Information Awareness Program?
http://www.acm.org/usacm/Letters/tia_final.html :
"Privacy Risks. Privacy is a fundamental American value. Fair Information Practices were
developed because policymakers recognized that there are critical issues of privacy when
aggregating data that was collected for other purposes. First formulated by a Department of
Health, Education and Welfare committee in 1973, the Code of Fair Information Practices is
the foundation for the federal Privacy Act of 1974 and the privacy laws of the country. It
prohibits secret databases and mandates fairness, accountability, and due process for
individuals about whom information is gathered. The need for oversight and control is
especially great when aggregation and analysis of personal information is done without the
knowledge or consent of the people being monitored. It is misleading to suggest that 'privacy
enhancing technologies' within TIA can protect people's privacy, because by definition
surveillance compromises privacy. Furthermore, the secrecy inherent in TIA implies that
citizens could not verify that information about them is accurate and shielded from misuse.
Worse yet would be the resulting lack of protection against harassment or blackmail by
individuals who have inappropriately obtained access to an individual's information, or by
government agencies that misuse their authority. Again, these are concerns that cannot be
completely addressed, even with advances in technology."

2) Economic misconduct
2.1) What did Thomas E. White do before he got a war job?
"These confidential Enron documents are revealed publicly here for the first time as evidence
that the central allegations in the Salon.com article remain as valid today as they were on
the day they were first made. It is hoped that through publishing these documents other
investigative journalists will be empowered to pick up on this story, and complete the work of
exposing the U.S. Army Secretary’s direct involvement in the crooked accounting deals of
Enron that cost U.S. shareholders and Enron employees billions of dollars. At a time when
Enron executives were publicly assuring employees and stock holders that their investments
and pensions were safe- from June 2001 through to February 2002 - Thomas White was one
of many Enron executives who was busy cashing in his own investments. A Graph at The
Memory Hole (link) details these sales. In all White received $12.1 million from his sales of
Enron stock over this period. In coming months U.S. Army Secretary Thomas White will be
responsible for supporting an expected 130,000 U.S. troops deployed in the Gulf in
preparation for a war against Iraq. Meanwhile he has also recently announced his intention to
supervise the massive privatisation of 214,000 army jobs."

3) Resistance Movement
3.1) Are there prominent republicans in the US resistance movement?
http://www.timesizing.com/1goodnus.htm :
"Let's be clear: We supported the Gulf War. We supported our intervention in Afghanistan.
We accept the logic of a just war. But Mr. President, your war on Iraq does not pass the test.
It is not a just war. The candidate we supported in 2000 promised a more humble nation in
our dealings with the world. We gave him our votes and our campaign contributions. That
candidate was you. We feel betrayed. We want our money back. We want our country back.
War is the most extreme action a society can take. It can only be unleashed after exploring
every other road. You have not explored all the roads. How many young American lives will
be lost in this dubious war? How many more innocent Iraqis will be killed and maimed and
made homeless? Haven't they suffered enough, after two decades of terrible wars and
sanctions? Among the one billion Muslims in the world there is now a steady trickle of recruits
going to Al Qaeda. You will turn the trickle into a torrent. A billion bitter enemies will rise out
of this war."
(Up)
3.2) Are there Iraq war veterans in the US resistance movement?
http://www.gulfwarvets.com/news12.htm :
"If our Secretary of Defense is unaware of the sales of biological materials to a country with
which we are about to go to war, or if he is in denial over the fact that these sales occurred,
the AGWVA believes that he represents a clear and present danger to the lives of our
military, our country, and the American people, and should be considered a very serious
threat to the national security. It is for this reason that the AGWVA calls for his resignation
and removal from office."
(Up)
4) Armageddon Paranoia
4.1) Does George Bush jr. have tendencies towards Armageddon paranoia?
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/strong1.html:
"Israel will be no more. Israel will be destroyed during the apocalypse. Any Jews that survive
anywhere will be converted to Christianity. Or more precisely, Evangelical Christianity. The
Moslems, the Jews, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the Shintos, the Animists, the Voodooists, the
Catholics, et al, will be converted to the Evangelical Christian legions of the Lord commanded
by Jerry Falwell. If you believe otherwise, if you believe that Biblical prophesies as interpreted
by the Christian right are so much lunacy, you are in the helpless majority. Because the
Christian right has extraordinary influence in the administration of President George Bush.
George Bush is one of their number. He does not attempt to hide this; he is quite deliberate
in his public discussions of his re-birth, and his salvation. He was saved from a life of excess
when he embraced the rigorous teachings of the Christian Evangelicals."

... Link nicht mehr gefunden :
"... the vast and highly conspicuous accumulation of wealth by the royal family has alienated
it from the larger Saudi population and led to charges of systemic corruption. In response,
the regime has outlawed all forms of political debate in the kingdom (there is no parliament,
no free speech, no political party, no right of assembly) and used its US-trained security
forces to quash overt expressions of dissent."
(Up)
6.2) Did some members of the US government support Osama Bin Laden?
http://emperors-clothes.com/misc/lefigaro.htm :
"Contacts between the CIA and bin Laden began in 1979 when, as a representative of his
family's business, bin Laden began recruiting volunteers for the Afghan resistance against
the Red Army. FBI investigators examining the embassy bombing sites in Nairobi and Dar es
Salaam discovered that evidence led to military explosives from the US Army, and that these
explosives had been delivered threee years earlier to Afghan Arabs, the infamous
international volunteer brigades involved side by side with bin Laden during the Afghan war
against the Red Army."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/nov/07/afghanistan.september11:
"FBI and military intelligence officials in Washington say they were prevented for political
reasons from carrying out full investigations into members of the Bin Laden family in the US
before the terrorist attacks of September 11."

ww.mediaforesight.org/Impartial.htm (Link ist tot!):
"CNN came under conservative criticism for airing footage of dead or injured Afghan civilians
and devastated Afghan buildings such as a Red Cross warehouse and a senior citizens' center
-- apparently caused by American bombing. After that, CNN Chairman Walter Isaacson
ordered staff members to balance images of civilian suffering with reminders to viewers that
the Taliban were harboring terrorists. Isaacson said it 'seems perverse to focus too much on
the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan.' The Pentagon must surely have been pleased to
learn that whenever its planes killed the wrong Afghans, CNN would quickly provide the
administration with PR damage control."

al-Umari, saß weder in einem der Todes-Jets, noch will der Familienvater aus der
saudi-arabischen Stadt Dschiddah etwas mit den Anschlägen zu tun haben. Wie der
Korrespondent der englischen Tageszeitung >The Independent< am Montag aus Beirut
berichtete, ist der 29-Jährige bereits bei der amerikanischen Botschaft vorstellig geworden,
um eine Erklärung zu erhalten - bisher ohne Erfolg. Bei einer Befragung gab er an, dass er

"Die Nerven liegen blank. Bundeskanzler Schröder hat sich erstaunlich offen über Drohbriefe
an seine Familie beklagt. Für ihn sind diese Auswüchse die Folge der politischer 'Hetze' und
'offenen Ehrabschneiderei' in der Boulevard-Presse gegen die Regierungspolitik."
"A top Pentagon adviser is calling for German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to resign
because he so badly damaged relations with the United States during the German
election campaign when he disparaged President Bush's policy on Iraq."
"Er beklagt, die deutsche Verfassung erschwere 'durchgreifende Lösungen' und preist
das Regieren mit Notverordnungen nach Art. 48 der Weimarer Verfassung. Die
seriöse Forschung hält diesen Verfassungsartikel für einen Nagel zum Sarg der
Weimarer Demokratie. Baring meint dagegen, die halbdiktatorischen Maßnahmen der
Notverordnungen hätten 'die krisengeschüttelte Republik jahrelang am Leben'
gehalten. Er bedauert heute, das deutsche Grundgesetz enthalte 'keine praktikablen
Regelungen für den innenpolitischen Ernstfall', womit es 'jede energische
Konsolidierung Deutschlands' verhindere."

and Germany?
(Link weg ..)br> "WASHINGTON - The Defense Department is considering issuing a
secret directive to the American military to conduct covert operations aimed at
influencing public opinion and policy makers in friendly and neutral countries, senior
Pentagon and administration officials say. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has
not yet decided on the proposal, which has ignited a fierce battle throughout the Bush
administration over whether the military should carry out secret propaganda missions
in friendly nations like Germany, where many of the Sept. 11 hijackers congregated,
or Pakistan, still considered a haven for Al Qaeda's militants."

8.2) How many children died of depleted uranium from the US and the UK?
https://fas.org/news/iraq/1999/09/990914-iac2.htm :
"Since the end of Operation Desert Storm, more than a million Iraqi's have died as a
direct result of economic sanctions. According to UNICEF, 4,500 Iraqi children under
the age of five continue to die each month and the have died and the number of Iraqi
children with cancer has increased seven-fold. Doctors told Mr. Hickey that they
blame the surge on the effects of the depleted uranium used in U.S. and British
tank-piercing shells during the Gulf War. The same effects are being felt here at
home, where according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 110,000
U.S. Gulf War veterans have reported illnesses related to service in Iraq."
"NATO has confirmed that it is using munitions with radioactive housing in its attacks
on Yugoslavia. A NATO spokesman in Brussels said, however, that the amount of
uranium present did not pose any health dangers to civilians. The ARD television
news program 'Monitor' had reported that A10 attack planes and Apache helicopters
were equipped with radioactive munitions which could cause radiation damage to
soldiers and civilians."

8.3) Have NATO soldiers used depleted uranium in the war with Yugoslavia?
http://www1.american.edu/TED/ice/uraniumdeplete.htm :
"Since the completion of NATO's military operation, there have been increasing
reports of medical cases involving radiation exposure and of cancer related illnesses
such as leukemia. Civilians and military personnel who have fallen victim to these
sorts of illnesses are considered to be stricken with what has come to be known as
the 'Kosovo Syndrome' or 'Balkan Syndrome'. Environmentally, there have also been
indications that these radioactive munitions have polluted surrounding shell sites to a
considerable degree, threatening valuable livestock and agricultural resources."
(Up)
8.4) Have NATO soldiers purposely killed civilians in the war with Yugoslavia?
http://www.nato-tribunal.de/varvarin/Forderungen_Englisch.htm :
"In a first wave of attack, two NATO fighter jets flew from 13:00 to 13:25 on May 30,
1999 under full visibility, during a cloudless sky, and in full sunshine towards the
bridge over the river Morava by the small town in Varvarin. The bridge serves the ca.
4000 inhabitants of Varvarin as a direct route to town. The town then stretches all the
way back to the river Morava, and thus back to the bridge. Eyewitnesses estimated
the height of the incoming jet fighters at no more the a few 100 meters. The planes
fired off two rockets at the bridge without any forewarning. The two detonated
rockets thoroughly destroyed the bridge. As a result of the rocket hits, the bridge got
separated from its center pillar. >From the center pillar the bridge toppled into the
river, away from the direction of town. The other end of the bridge slid up into the
higher lying river embankment, so that the approximately 100 meter long bridge
piece ended up lying destroyed with a steep slant into the river Morava. Through this
first attack, three people lost their lives and at least five others were severely injured.
Although the bridge was already destroyed, according to the eyewitnesses we have,
the NATO fighter jets, after about three to six minutes later returned and, in a second
wave of attack fired two more rockets off that killed seven and severely injured
twelve more who had rushed to the bridge in order to help. At the time of the
bombing, ca. 3000 to 3500 people were in the immediate vicinity of the bridge. A
large amount of the these people were on the premises of the church that is located
about 120 to 150 meters away from the bridge. There they were celebrating the
festival of the holy trinity from where every year many believers from Varvarin and
the surrounding area came to participate. Another large congregation of people were
gathered at around 200 to 250 meters from the bridge, namely at the regularly
occurring Sunday market in Varvarin, where on this day, about 300 market stands
were permitted to operate by the officials in charge at city hall. As a result, at the
time of the bombing busy traffic was underway. Passenger traffic, pedestrians, and
bicyclists were using the bridge to go to and to come from town."

8.5) Did the war with Yugoslavia nearly become a world war?

"THE British general leading peacekeeping troops in Kosovo was yesterday accused of
insubordination by a powerful US senator who said it ‘‘goes to the very heart of NATO,
its ability to function.’’ John Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, had been told Lieutenant General Sir Mike Jackson refused to obey orders
to confront Russian troops that burst into Kosovo before NATO troops at the end of
the bombing campaign in June. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General
Henry Shelton was giving evidence to the committee. He said General Jackson
opposed orders from NATO Supreme Allied Commander, US General Wesley Clark to

move tanks onto the Pristina airfield to block the Russian arrival. General Shelton
detailed the confrontation during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on his
renomination for the top US military post. ‘‘General Jackson said, ‘No, I’m not going to
do that. It’s not worth starting World War III.’ I believe was the quote that was used,’’
General Shelton told the committee."

8.6) Have some US soldiers commited war crimes in Afghanistan?
"Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) today condemned the refusal of the US
Government, the Afghan government, and the United Nations to secure and
investigate the mass grave site at Dasht-e Leili, near Sheberghan in northern
Afghanistan."
(Up)
8.7) Have some US soldiers contaminated Afghanistan with landmines?
"Even before the current conflict, landmines led to tremendous civilian casualties in
27 out of 29 Afghan provinces. Eight to ten million landmines remain in the ground
after two decades of war in the country. The International Campaign to Ban
Landmines reports that in Afghanistan in the year 2000, there were 88 casualties
each month. Reports from UNMAPA indicate that this number has increased
dramatically since the US aerial bombing commenced."

However, Rumsfeld was more circumspect when he was asked directly on ABC's This
Week whether the United States was considering the use of nuclear weapons against
al-Qaeda and the Taliban. 'We ought to be very proud of the record of humanity, that
