U.S. citizen convicted of joining al-Qaida, plotting to kill President Bush (AP) — An Arab-American college student was convicted Tuesday of joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate President Bush. The federal jury rejected Ahmed Omar Abu Ali's claim that Saudi authorities whipped and tortured him to extract a false confession. Abu Ali, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen born to a Jordanian father and raised in Falls Church, Va., could get life in prison on charges that included conspiracy to assassinate the president, conspiracy to hijack aircraft and providing support to al-Qaida. The jury deliberated for 2 1/2 days. Abu Ali swallowed hard before the verdict was read but otherwise ...

Why we cannot rely on firearm forensics * 23 November 2005 * http://NewScientist.com news service * Robin Mejia TYRONE JONES is serving a life sentence, in part because of a microscopic particle that Baltimore police found on his left hand. At his trial for murder in 1998 the crime-lab examiner gave evidence that the particle was residue from a gunshot. He claimed Jones must have held or fired a gun shortly before his arrest. Jones denies this and still protests his innocence. His defence team is appealing the conviction, claiming that the science of gunshot residue (GSR) analysis is not as robust as the prosecution claims. Now, a New Scientist investigation has found that someone who ...

United States vs Deborah Davis: Commuting By Bus In Denver? Papers, Please.

Meet Deborah Davis. She's a 50 year-old mother of four who lives and works in Denver, Colorado. Her kids are all grown-up: her middle son is a soldier fighting in Iraq. She leads an ordinary, middle class life. You probably never would have heard of Deb Davis if it weren't for her belief in the U.S. Constitution. This is not America. When honest, law-abiding citizens can't commute to work on a city bus without a demand for their 'papers', something is very, very wrong. One morning in late September 2005, Deb was riding the public bus to work. She was minding her own business, reading a book and planning for work, when a security guard got on this public bus and demanded that every ...

In what the U.S. Justice Department has described as a crucial terrorism trial, an Arab-American student from Virginia was convicted of plotting with operatives of Al Qaeda to assassinate President George W. Bush and hijack airplanes. A jury on Tuesday in Alexandria, Virginia, found Ahmed Omar Abu Ali guilty on nine charges of conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism. The jury rejected the defendant's accounts that his Saudi captors beat and tortured him into confessing. Abu Ali, 24, a U.S. citizen who is the son of a Jordanian father and who grew up in northern Virginia, faces the possibility of life in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Gerald Bruce Lee of the U.S. ...

Commuting By Bus In Denver? Papers, Please. DEB DAVIS LIKES to commute to work by public bus. She uses the time to read, crochet or pay bills. It's her quiet time. What with the high price of gas, she saves money, too: a week's worth of gas money gets her a month's worth of bus rides. Deborah Davis defends freedom at home while her son serves abroad in Iraq. The bus she rides crosses the property of the Denver Federal Center, a collection of government offices such as the Veterans Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, and part of the National Archives. The Denver Federal Center is not a high security area: it's not Area 51 or NORAD. On her first day commuting to work by bus, the ...

Executive Order 13107 [Why we have Open Borders]

Executive Order 13107 http://© 1998 WorldNetDaily.com From where do our rights descend? The Bill of Rights? No. The Constitution? No. The Federal government? No. The United Nations? Certainly not. But, apparently, that's what Bill Clinton thinks. For earlier this month, Dec. 10 to be exact, he issued another one of his infamous executive orders -- this time on "the implementation of human rights treaties." In Executive Order 13107, Clinton sets up a new federal bureaucracy for the purpose of implementing U.N. treaties, whether ratified by the U.S. Senate or not. And that federal bureaucracy will implement the treaties on the U.N.'s terms. Sound like a deal? It ...

This talk was delivered at the Burton S. Blumert Conference on Gold, Freedom, and Peace. At the 1977 Libertarian Party Convention, mind-expansion advocate and LSD guru Timothy Leary gave a speech that few of us took very seriously. He spoke of something called the Internet, a network that would connect computers worldwide, allowing participants from around the globe to sign on and retrieve text, photographs, audio and video instantaneously, and to communicate in realtime with anyone in the whole world who also had a computer and a connection. He said that it would be the new revolution against the current social order and stifling status quo. He predicted it would be much, much bigger than ...

Hey Iraq! Israel HAS NO formal Constitution

Basic Laws of Israel function as Israel's "uncodified constitution". The State of Israel has no formal constitution. Though its declaration of independence promised the constitution would be completed no later than October 1, 1948, the gap between religious and secular proved too difficult to bridge, and a full, unifying document was never produced. (Then-Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion discouraged the convention from completing their work on the constitution, saying Israel should wait until the bulk of Jews from aroud the world had moved to their homeland. Some historians claim, however, that Ben Gurion simply preferred to postpone any unnecessary checks on his power). Many ...

Schneier on Security A weblog covering security and security technology. November 22, 2005 Surveillance and Oversight Christmas 2003, Las Vegas. Intelligence hinted at a terrorist attack on New Year's Eve. In the absence of any real evidence, the FBI tried to compile a real-time database of everyone who was visiting the city. It collected customer data from airlines, hotels, casinos, rental car companies, even storage locker rental companies. All this information went into a massive database -- probably close to a million people overall -- that the FBI's computers analyzed, looking for links to known terrorists. Of course, no terrorist attack occurred and no plot was discovered: The ...
What It Means To Be A Reactionary

The popular depiction for the word Reactionary gives the definition - an extreme conservative; an opponent of progress or liberalism. A more in-depth amplification is once again found in Wikipedia. “Reactionary (or reactionist) is a political epithet typically applied to extreme ideological conservatism, especially that which wishes to return to a real or imagined old order of things, and which is willing to use coercive means to do so. The term is primarily used as a term of opprobrium (groups rarely identify themselves as reactionary), meant to assert the idea that the opposition is based in merely reflexive politics rather than responsive and informed views. More specifically, the ...

Alan Mulally, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group, said Boeing can't act like British colonialists extracting wealth from other countries and exporting it all back home. Mulally, speaking to The News Tribune editorial board, said that with 70 percent of Boeing's commercial airplanes sold to airlines operating outside the United States, Boeing has an obligation to build parts of its aircraft ...

Court rules school finance unconstitutional By R.A. Dyer Star-Telegram Austin Bureau In a landmark decision that could dramatically change how Texans pay for schools, the state Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that the property tax system violates the Texas Constitution and gave lawmakers until June 1 to make a fix or face a possible shutdown of schools. But the court, in a mixed 7-1 ruling, found that the state provides adequate funding for schools - and therefore does not violate a Constitutional requirement that Texas guarantee a “general diffusion of knowledge” for school kids. It also rejected a lower court finding that property-poor districts don’t get enough money ...

Feds ramp up spying on journalists, other Americans Capitol Hill Blue By DOUG THOMPSON Nov 21, 2005 Using powers granted under the USA Patriot Act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has stepped up surveillance of journalists in an effort to plug leaks from a scandal-weary Bush administration. Wiretaps, intercepts of electronic communications and daily monitoring of reporters’ activities are part of a program authorized by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Justice Department sources say. Increased surveillance of journalists is only part of a stepped-up federal efforts to monitor day-to-day activities of Americans. Last week, the Federal Communications Commission set an 18-month ...

My Weekend in Chicago by Jack Rain I'm back in Chicago. It's one of my favorite cities in the late spring to early summer. There's a lot to do and the city is teeming with people. I arrived Saturday around noon at O'Hare airport from Los Angeles. I didn't have much luggage with me so I decided to bypass the taxi line and take the subway from the airport to downtown. The subway is usually the fastest and quickest way to get downtown from O'Hare. Not this time, though. As the train pulled out of the O'Hare station, it stopped after about two minutes of travel inside the tunnel. The train stood still for about ten minutes before it began to move again. When the train pulled into ...

By contrast, the study found that of 520 opinion leaders questioned on the issue, no more than one in four thinks that torture of terrorist suspects can be ...

Lame Duck Bush Flies to Asia -- GOP Happy to Be As Far Away From Bush As Possible All American Patriots November 16, 2005 Washington, DC - As President George W. Bush flies to Asia today, Republican lawmakers back home are worried that Bush's plummeting popularity will hurt their 2006 electoral chances. GOP incumbents from across the country, even some from strong Republican states and districts, have already begun to distance themselves from Bush's failing and unpopular policies. According to the latest Newsweek poll, the President's approval rating is now at an all-time low of 36 percent.

They have not been alone in this mini-quest. Part of the dilemma for anyone who truly wants to understand these actions and re-actions, within the circles of power and greed is that 'nothing they do' seems to make any logical sense. Ordinary criminal schemes are usually easy to decipher. Money trails can be found and their telltale tracks followed, to whatever may have been the point of such an effort. But this 'super-plan' for domination includes the complete ...
