White House Insider: a long read but interesting
http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a1232.htm

November 26, 2004: “Bits of news for you…Arafat was indeed poisoned. The doer was one of his aides (now in a safe place and soon to be very dead) and he was supplied with money and a special drug.by one of Sharon’s hatchet men. This is known as Thanatox, developed by a Swiss subsidiary of Merck specially for the CIA. This causes a fatal blood problem resembling leukemia. The drug is administered orally and is not detectable in a post mortem. A quantity (20 doses) was given to the Israeli Mossad on June 10th, 2003.  This product is colorless and odorless but must be administered over a period of time, not to exceed thirty days. The first symptoms will appear in about five days after the final dosage and this is always fatal. The progress is slow and can mimic a number of blood disorders.

Another drug, developed by the Nazis and produced after the war, causes heart attacks. Like Thanatox, it is not detectable in post mortems. This is also a staple in the CIA medicine cabinet. (More on this later, including the names of victims…some very surprising)  The problem with the use of this drug is that while it kills the target by means of a massive heart attack, an autopsy will reveal that the deceased had no trace of cardiac problems and this can raise suspicions.

The joke in some cynical circles at the Monkey Palace is that Bush will have it given to Cheney to kill him off (C. has a very bad heart and no one would suspect a thing) so he can appoint Frist as the new Vice President and give him a leg up for 2008.  Frist is a chilly, nasty bugger with a record of sadistic behavior but the redeeming grace of being One of the Lord’s Blessed nutties.

November 30, 2004: “It is very funny to hear the bleats of outrage here about the alleged vote stealing in the Ukrainian elections. This, coming from an Administration that has wallowed in major vote stealing in 2000 and 2004 would make great cocktail circuit gossip if it weren’t so potentially dangerous. We know the CIA has been trying to get their man into office in the Ukraine for some time now and it is all coming to a head. If the eastern, industrialized part breaks off, the rest is in deep kimchi and we will be stuck with more farmland than we can use while Russia gets the industrial section. Bush is stupid enough to threaten war over this (by sending in US troops to enforce things) but even the more lunatic of his handlers realizes that this could lead to a war with Russia.

In point of fact, George can do nothing and if this division happens, we will have poured many millions of dollars into the happy hands of the pro-US people. This worked in Georgia recently but failed in Venezuela.

The big pipe dream of the neocons and Condi Rice is to topple Putin and let the US get its hands on Russian oil industry. Both the old timers at Langley and the professionals at both the Pentagon and State are horrified by such noises but both Condi and the neocons are fanatics and you cannot reason with such types. Since we have no troops available and as much as they want it, a universal draft is political suicide, they run around here with their endless position papers, trying to get Bush to listen to them.

It is pretty evident that various outsiders, obviously envious of the Bastion of Liberty, are messing with our dollar image. If they are successful, we are headed into terrible trouble but these dimbulbs haven’t a clue about the damage they are doing. What they want is a new Roman Empire centered in Washington and run by themselves with domestic opposition either silenced or so reduced in power as to be mere figureheads.

Rove and the others are so determined to establish a permanent Republican Rule that they cannot see where these moves will lead.

Actually, catering to the Jesus Freaks is only a ploy. Neither Bush nor Rove are really religious but they wear the cloak and walk the walk to keep these weird people happy. After all, the Freaks are well organized and vote en bloc, just like the old Communist labor groups during the Roosevelt era.  FDR was not a communist just as George is not a Christian but they both use well-organized  groups for their own end.

Some people think Bush is a moron but he is not. He is no intellectual but is very clever in handling certain kinds of people. He uses a fake down-home-Country-Boy charm coupled with the mystique of his office to con people.

George is clever but petty and very vindictive. You do not cross George or he will retaliate and he is as mean and nasty as Bobby Kennedy was, if any of you can remember him. Reagan was genuinely good natured, Clinton worked at it fairly well but George is the spiteful second-class and mostly ignored relative that just got all of Uncle Myron’s money is now is going to make everyone kiss his feet so he can kick them in the face. Old Tom Ridge has been pushed out. We will miss his terror alerts and so will the manufacturers of duct tape. He isn’t “dedicated” enough for George. Tom actually argued with him and that is not a good idea. Besides, Ridge could not compete for turf around here and was always being one-upped by everyone else. Of course his department couldn’t protect us from harm even if they tried and neither will his successor. If a bomb goes off or smallpox starts somewhere, the Bush people will not have a clue who did it so will no doubt launch an attack against the loathed French or now, the resurrected Communists in Moscow. Of course if the bomb went off in January during the Inaugural Parade, things would slowly return to normal.

Bush is royally pissed off now because he was told that Canadians might have the nerve to boo the Leader of the Free World. George does not forgive things like that and the timber situation vis a vis Canada will now only get worse…

.As I have said before, the Bush people, backed by the CIA, the FBI, the NSA and many other security agencies are going to clamp down, if they can, on the internet. Companies can use it if they have certain controls placed on their machines but unless a civilian can prove he or she is “reliable” they might as well throw their computers away because there will be no more internet.

There are fully-prepared orders on this, just waiting for the Imperial signature and the media blitz is gearing up. The media will leap with joy over this because the internet is ruining their business so you will see all kinds of the Asccroft-Ridge type of bleatings about Saving Our People from the Evil Ones (for this read the Bush Administration)

This is tentatively called “Operation Clarity” but the only clear thing is that the Fuehrer has been reading Mein Kampf again. This will probably never happen but it will if they have their way, believe me.”

Tenet Demands Complete Government Internet Control
by Shaun Waterman
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
December 2, 2004

Former CIA Director George J. Tenet yesterday called for new security measures to guard against attacks on the United States that use the Internet, which he called "a potential Achilles' heel."

"I know that these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability," he told an information-technology security conference in Washington, "but ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control."

The former CIA director said telecommunications -- and specifically the Internet -- are a back door through which terrorists and other enemies of the United States could attack the country, even though great strides have been made in securing the physical infrastructure.

The Internet "represents a potential Achilles' heel for our financial stability and physical security if the networks we are creating are not protected," Mr. Tenet said.

He said known adversaries, including "intelligence services, military organizations and non-state actors," are researching information attacks against the United States.

Within the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security has the lead role in protecting the Internet from terrorism. But the department's head of cyber-security recently quit amid reports that he had clashed with his superiors.

Mr. Tenet, who retired in July as director of the CIA after seven years, warned that al Qaeda remains a sophisticated group, even though its first-tier leadership largely has been destroyed.

It is "undoubtedly mapping vulnerabilities and weaknesses in our telecommunications networks," he said.

Mr. Tenet pointed out that the modernization of key industries in the United States is making them more vulnerable by connecting them with an Internet that is open to attack.

The way the Internet was built might be part of the problem, he said. Its open architecture allows Web surfing, but that openness makes the system vulnerable, Mr. Tenet said.

Access to networks like the World Wide Web might need to be limited to those who can show they take security seriously, he said.

Mr. Tenet called for industry to lead the way by "establishing and enforcing" security standards. Products need to be delivered to government and private-sector customers "with a new level of security and risk management already built in."
The national press, including United Press International (UPI), were excluded from yesterday's event, at Mr. Tenet's request, organizers said.

2. Yeah, right.
Some people will buy anything, just as long as it's anti-semitic.

4. I can understand why someone would believe that, Aquart,
but many countries, or should I say many regimes, have engaged in surreptitous attacks against their enemies. I don't know if this allegation is true or not but I have no doubt but what the CIA has done similar things many times, especially during times of high tension under some of our less scrupulous administrations.

Many, many observers saw Arafat as a major enemy of Israel, and I think that view seems to be particularly felt by members of the Sharon/Likud administration. Sharon has shown the propensity for rather harsh tactics, and poisoning is certainly a harsh tactic. I don't know why Sharon and his Likudnic administration should be exempt from criticism by those who would criticize this tactic if used by other governments as well. I should think that Israel is a sufficiently self-confident country to withstand the kind of criticism that all countries receive from time to time.

For the record, I have a low opinion of both Sharon and Arafat. Neither are men of peace, in my estimation.

6. i get your point, but i believe it is not anti-anything sacred
to question or to speculate on the actions of any militant faction splintering from any honorable group; otherwise, this forum is indeed anti-American, rather than a meeting place of patriots.

5. Arafat was a very old man
considering the kind of life he led, it's pretty impressive he's lasted this long.
