DEAR SIR / MADAM,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
|
|||
|
|
AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF
|
|||
|
|
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE
|
|||
|
|
NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY
|
|||
|
|
SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL
|
|||
|
|
BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO
|
|||
|
|
AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I AM WRITING YOU IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN
|
|||
|
|
ACQUIRING OIL FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY
|
|||
|
|
PARTNERS AND I SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY
|
|||
|
|
MY FATHER, WHO HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM
|
|||
|
|
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR
|
|||
|
|
OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IN THE DECADE OF THE NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF
|
|||
|
|
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE
|
|||
|
|
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE
|
|||
|
|
NEIGHBORING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON
|
|||
|
|
FOLLOWED BY A FALLING-OUT WITH HIS IRAQI PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE
|
|||
|
|
ADDITIONAL OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A
|
|||
|
|
WHOLLY-OWNED U.S.-BRITISH SUBSIDIARY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991 AT A COST OF
|
|||
|
|
SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF THAT COST,
|
|||
|
|
THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY HIS PARTNERS
|
|||
|
|
IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES, AND
|
|||
|
|
SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND JAPANESE PARTNERS.
|
|||
|
|
BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE
|
|||
|
|
REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MY FAMILY IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF
|
|||
|
|
THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF
|
|||
|
|
HIS COUNTRY, AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER.
|
|||
|
|
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN
|
|||
|
|
OF THIS NEW VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100
|
|||
|
|
BILLION TO 200 BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 -
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$200,000,000,000), BOTH IN THE INITIAL ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MANAGEMENT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM OUR 1991 PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE
|
|||
|
|
THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED WITHIN IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR
|
|||
|
|
COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED
|
|||
|
|
COLLEAGUES IN THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT
|
|||
|
|
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY, WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER
|
|||
|
|
IN THE IRAQ VENTURE AND FORMER HEAD OF THE HALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND
|
|||
|
|
CONDOLEEZA RICE, WHOSE PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS
|
|||
|
|
DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING OF A CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM EQUALING TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT
|
|||

|
(10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR ACCOUNT TO AID IN THIS IMPORTANT

|||

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF APRIL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE APPREHENSIVE
|
|||
|
|
AND WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE
|
|||
|
|
DAY. A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU. PLEASE DO BE

FOREVER GRATEFUL. PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS

Admit it: Christmas was a retail bomb this year.
|
|||
|
|
Downright down, every indicator. Everyone you
|
|||
|
|
talk to has a friend or relative about to close
|
|||
|
|
down a small business soon. Things are tanking
|
|||
|
|
all around.
|
|||
|
|
So expect this year's round of Superbowl ads
|
|||
|
|
to be a full frontal assault on your senses, your
|
|||
|
|
ethics, or your sense of ethics even.
|
|||
|
|
Yup, they're gonna be decadent, wasteful and
|
|||
|
|
decadently whistful. Nearly a waste of time, but
|
|||
|
|
quite the diversion. It should be interesting.
|
|||
|
|
We'll have to see what we see, eh?
|
|||
|
|
Ready? I am.
|
|||
|
|
4 million dollars a minute. Wow. Expect the
|
|||
|
|
graphics to be "louder" than a broken soundbarrier.
|
|||
|
|
Or one of those red&white peppermint candies!!
|
|||
|
|
And don't expect next month's Grammys ads to be
|
|||
|
|
any classier either. They'll be exciting, sleazy,
|
|||
|
|
excitingly sleazy and about as decadent as they
|
|||
|
|
come. 2 or 3 million a minute I'm sure. 2nd or
|
|||
|
|
3rd biggest american ad-cycle of the year, depending
|
|||
|
|
on who you talk to. And the Grammys are going to
|
|||
|
|
be sooooooooo boringly boring, the ads are going
|
|||
|
|
to serve as some sick form of comic relief.
|
|||
|
|
Have you heard any music this year?
|
|||
|
|
That's what I mean, have you heard ANY?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I mean, unless you count Avril trying to sound
|
|||
|
|
like Pink or Pink trying to sound like Pink.
|
|||
|
|
Eminem trying to sound like Marilyn Manson,
|
|||
|
|
and James Taylor trying to sound like, well,
|
|||
|
|
I don't know what you'd call that.
|
|||
|
|
And Billie Joel thinks he's Ted Nugent or
|
|||
|
|
something. Drunk off his ass smashing into
|
|||
|
|
a tree. Now that's rock and roll to me.
|
|||
|
|
And Aerosmith?
|
|||
|
|
Dare I call it music?
|
|||
|
|
Quick, someone ghostwrite us a song or
|
|||
|
|
we're going to start wearing those yellow
|
|||
|
|
spandex pants again.
|
|||
|
|
OK, I'll hold my hands over my ears and
|
|||
|
|
scream it out loud so I don't have to hear
|
|||
|
|
it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Music!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Grammys! Music."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Music! Grammys."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
They used to mean something together.

|
|
In early February, John Ross will join hundreds of international
|
|||
|
|
anti-war activists on the Human Shield Action Caravan to Baghdad in an
|
|||
|
|
effort to stop U.S. bombing of Iraqi civilians before it begins. The
|
|||
|
|
caravan is being organized by Ken Nichols, a former U.S. marine who
|
|||
|
|
participated in Operation Desert Storm. All travel expenses are being
|
|||
|
|
paid out of pocket by the volunteers and Ross, an aging
|
|||
|
|
poet-author-journalist-activist who dwells in and around the poverty
|
|||
|
|
line, is appealing for contributions from those who would like to be
|
|||
|
|
part of this action for peace but are otherwise committed, to offset the
|
|||
|
|
plane fare to Istanbul where he will join the caravan on February 4th
|
|||
|
|
for the bus ride to Iraq.

|
|||
|

|

|
|
Ross's Statement of Purpose follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"I GO TO BAGHDAD TO STAND WITH THE IRAQI PEOPLE, NOT WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A decade ago, in the wake of the Persian Gulf conflagration, I traveled
|
|||
|
|
to Kuwait on behalf of the Palestine Aid Society to expose human rights
|
|||
|
|
abuses against Kuwaiti Palestinians by the Bush-Sabah regimes. During
|
|||
|
|
that mission, I had occasion to visit the infamous "Highway to Hell"
|
|||
|
|
where on February 28th, 1991, 22,000 fleeing human beings (United
|
|||
|
|
Nations estimates) were incinerated by wave after wave of U.S. warplanes
|
|||
|
|
flying in off the Gulf, a little-remembered massacre now. "It was like
|
|||
|
|
shooting fish in a barrel" one U.S. pilot told the press.
|
|||
|
|
By the time we got there, the desert was a vast parking lot of charred
|
|||
|
|
vehicles. Unexploded cluster bombs and infants' car seats were strewn
|
|||
|
|
along the shoulder of the highway. The Yanqui ground troops had come in
|
|||
|
|
with spray paint and scrawled obscene slogans on the burnt-out cars.
|
|||
|
|
The scene put a heavy hurt on my heart and I vowed to myself that this
|
|||
|
|
would not happen again - at least not in my name.
|
|||
|
|
I am a journalist and an author based in Latin America and war and
|
|||
|
|
repression, often the result of U.S. policies, are the coinage of the
|
|||
|
|
countries in which I work.
|
|||
|
|
Nearly 40 years ago I traveled from my home in the Purepecha Indian
|
|||
|
|
mountains of Michoacan Mexico to sing Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" to a
|
|||
|
|
judge, and read him a poem by Bertolt Brecht which says we live in an
|
|||
|
|
age so dark that it is a crime to write a poem about a tree because it
|
|||
|
|
is a kind of silence about injustice. Then I was led off to Terminal
|
|||
|
|
Island federal prison in chains, the first draft resister from the San
|
|||
|
|
Francisco Bay Area to go to jail for refusing to kill my Vietnamese
|
|||
|
|
brothers and sisters.
|
|||
|
|
I have opposed every U.S. aggression against the world's people since
|
|||
|
|
and George W. Bush's impending dismemberment of Iraq is no exception.
|
|||
|
|
I go to Baghdad gratefully to stand with the Iraqi people, not with the
|
|||
|
|
corrupt and undemocratic regime of Saddam Hussein.
|
|||
|
|
I have no illusions that the U.S. President will hesitate to bomb his
|
|||
|
|
own citizens as well as Iraqi civilians. After all, over the past
|
|||
|
|
decade the White House has seen fit to inflict death on hundreds of
|
|||
|
|
thousands of Iraqi children for the crime of having been born in a
|
|||
|
|
country ruled by Saddam Hussein.
|
|||
|
|
The coming war will be a cruel one. Early United Nations estimates
|
|||
|
|
calculate a half million casualties - we may indeed be included in that
|
|||
|
|
total. But what else can we do?
|
|||
|
|
In recent years, I have become closely identified with the rebellion of
|
|||
|
|
the largely Mayan Indian Zapatista Army of National Liberation in
|
|||
|
|
Chiapas about whose struggle to preserve and strengthen their indigenous
|
|||
|
|
identity and still be players in the wider world, I have written three
|
|||
|
|
books now. The Zapatistas' war against oblivion, against being
|
|||
|
|
obliterated from the face of this malevolently globalized planet, is the
|
|||
|
|
story of all peoples rooted in history and the earth, and the Iraqis are
|
|||
|
|
some of the world's most ancient peoples.
|
|||
|
|
If George Bush is to consummate the genocide of the Iraqi people, I'm
|
|||
|
|
sorry to say that it will have to be over my dead body. -

Dear ATI and/or person(s) lazy,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I just got done reading John Stockwell's book "Praetorian Guard".
|
|||
|
|
As is noted in the book, any thing he publishes must first go
|
|||
|
|
through CIA censors do to a court ruling when the CIA sued to
|
|||
|
|
try to stop him from publishing. I came across the one part
|
|||
|
|
in the book that cuts out mid-sentance and says something like
|
|||
|
|
(segment cut do to CIA censorship). The sentance was about
|
|||
|
|
students studying abroad and the CIA. So what about students
|
|||
|
|
studying abroad and the CIA? If I met John Stockwell I'd ask
|
|||
|
|
him what he had to say on the subject. I know this isn't
|
|||
|
|
about the Kobar or Khobar Towers, but I thought I'd ask you,
|
|||
|
|
anyway. <20>)~

|
|||
|
|
How was the marches? Er... How were the marches?
|
|||
|
|
great!
|
|||
|
|
there were a little more than half a million
|
|||
|
|
in dc alone. Haven't heard numbers from sf and other
|
|||
|
|
places yet. Expected some of those to be equally humongous.
|
|||
|
|
Me and 4 others from IMC Norway are going to Iraq next week.
|
|||
|
|
hey...lots of hot stuff going on in dc right now.
|
|||
|
|
check out the breaking news
|
|||
|
|
yeah, wow!
|
|||
|
|
i'm compiling it...and i keep getting these amazing calls...
|
|||
|
|
is dc doing any live audio, or should I just
|
|||
|
|
listen to blastfurnace right now, or what?
|
|||
|
|
um...wbix is doing some live stuff...w/our reporters.
|
|||
|
|
later today, i'm going to be on wpfw later i think
|
|||
|
|
i want news from dc..
|
|||
|
|
1:15pm: Sgt. Scott Sear of the US Park Police=16 were arrested.
|
|||
|
|
Charges unknown. People are just drumming and chanting. It is
|
|||
|
|
like a big street party on H St. along Lafayette Park.
|
|||
|
|
how many do you think are in the streets today?
|
|||
|
|
and do you think there were as many as halfmillion
|
|||
|
|
yesterday? to me it felt like 4-500k
|
|||
|
|
no...lafayette park people=about 1,500.
|
|||
|
|
youth and student march=several thousand.
|
|||
|
|
today? thanks.
|
|||
|
|
yes. today
|
|||
|
|
next person that calls breaking news line will be asked for estimate
|
|||
|
|
what's your wildest guess for yesterday?
|
|||
|
|
1,300 (our count) - 2,000 (police count) in honolulu
|
|||
|
|
crowd estimate today=2000.
|
|||
|
|
big time arrests about to happen in DC
|
|||
|
|
so.. how do we get ppl off the street?
|
|||
|
|
Tell them there's a sale at K-Mart
|
|||
|
|
cops are letting traffic through the road.
|
|||
|
|
10000 in brussels today

|
|||
|
|
I would think this is good news, but the silly
|
|||
|
|
system shows an amazing survival capacity
|
|||
|
|
20-30 people squatted the entrace of the german-netherland
|
|||
|
|
-corps and took down(why is there no word for "get the flag
|
|||
|
|
down" in my dictionary?) german and nato flag
|
|||
|
|
how was DC? huge and cold, i know that much
|
|||
|
|
great! largest mobiliation I've ever been part of
|
|||
|
|
san francisco looked like Fun! never been there for
|
|||
|
|
a big rally. it is my favorite city, though..
|
|||
|
|
last count i saw for DC was a bit over 300k. seem about right to you?
|
|||
|
|
closer than most corporate media that's for sure.
|
|||
|
|
did you see the newswire report about what a paper in
|
|||
|
|
colombus ohio did with the numbers? supposedly they said
|
|||
|
|
"hundreds of anti-war marchers" and dig this "thousands
|
|||
|
|
of pro-war demonstrators"
|
|||
|
|
wtf???
|
|||
|
|
washington post said around 150,000, which might be a bit conservative
|
|||
|
|
shoot, i saw it way early this morning before coffee.
|
|||
|
|
it was either on global or DC
|
|||
|
|
Here's my take so far:
|
|||
|
|
http://flag.blackened.net/ati/zine/senseofnumbers.html
|
|||
|
|
woohooo! have you seen the pictures of the SF ins building? :)
|
|||
|
|
Yeah, those SF pictures are mighty inspiring!
|
|||
|
|
of course i never advocate of apologize for illegal activities :)
|
|||
|
|
gloats
|
|||
|
|
the starbucks and victoria secret seemed a bit beside the point,
|
|||
|
|
but the ins and the uk counsolate, well, se la vie
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In so far as Starbucks and Victoria Secret are symbols
|
|||
|
|
of cultural imperialism and hegemony, they might as well
|
|||
|
|
throw a brick or two as they pass by. But, yeah, I was
|
|||
|
|
impressed that they went after the INS and the UK Embassy.
|
|||
|
|
Starbucks and Victoria Secret were probably just along
|
|||
|
|
the route, I highly doubt they were explicitly targetted.
|
|||
|
|
listening to the breaking news, it sounded like the cops were
|
|||
|
|
relatively tolerant untill Victorias got trashed.. does that
|
|||
|
|
say something weird about the police pychie? :)
|
|||
|
|
Yeah, I thought that was a bit funny, too.

bush is a lot more like hitler

just, lacking the brains. and the little moustache
|
|||
|
|
that was the key to hitlers evil, i think.
|
|||
|
|
nooo.. he's more like the head of a columbian junta.
|

heh
|

hitler was democraticaly elected however
|
|||
|
|
the next global day of protest is Feb 15th, right?
|

|
|
they were announcing it yesterday, but i couldn't hear it
|

i was pretty far back
|

yeah. you *know* there was no fraud in *that* election.

|
|
i think that was a dozen or so
|
|||
|
|
1:55pm: 50 people went through the fence surrounding
|
|||
|
|
the White House--they are being arrested.
|
|||
|
|
i wonder if the po po could handle a couple hundred
|
|||
|
|
people rushing the fence at the same time
|
|||
|
|
i would so jump the fence :)
|
|||
|
|
(15:28:03)
|

|
|
____: there's a time and place for shit like that.
|

"The breakaway marchers ran down sixth st. to get away

from the police. They came to the SF Chronicle building.
|

One bunch held off the cops at one end of the block, one

bunch did the same at the other, while the ones in the
