The gargantuan Biscuit wildfire in Southern Oregon has now engulfed just under half-a-million acres since lightning ignited it and other western wildfires in mid-July. The magnificent 180,000-acre Kalmiopsis Wilderness within the Siskiyou National Forest resembles a moonscape. The rare plants, the wildlife, the trees that made the Kalmiopsis a special place – are gone. And the U.S. Forest Service says it cannot predict when the fires will be completely out – maybe in a month or two when the rains come.

"This should never have been allowed to happen, and it need not have happened," says Tom Robinson, 55, a fire administrator and instructor of fire prevention with the Virginia Offices of Fire Programs and Emergency Services in Richmond, Va.

Since 1996, he has been waging a campaign to build public support for the deployment in this country of a Russian-made air tanker, the Ilyushin-76TD – nicknamed, the "Waterbomber" – a 180,000-ton behemoth that can haul 11,000 gallons of liquid to a fire, nearly four times the carrying capacity of the C-130 Hercules, the largest tanker used by the Forest Service.

At the invitation of its officials and to facilitate the acceptance of the IL-76, Robinson serves as volunteer international liaison, an official representative of the Russian Federation and its Ministry of Emergency Situations – EMERCOM – the Russian counterpart of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. EMERCOM is the agency that actually owns the Waterbombers.

Robinson sees the IL-76 as a much-needed strategic weapon for the nation's firefighting arsenal. He is convinced that had it been called in when the Rodeo, Hayman and Biscuit fires began raging out of control, they would have been squelched before they became mega-blazes.

"Frankly, I'm outraged," says Robinson. "This has been going on over six years. The Forest Service has refused to allow this plane into this country for fire fighting. It's a modern aircraft, a four-engine jet. It covers an area the size of 12 football fields with one 10-second drop [of liquid – water or retardant]. It puts a fireline down 300 feet wide and 3,900 feet long in 10 seconds. It would have saved every community in Colorado and Arizona this year. It would have saved those 300 homes in Los Alamos two years ago."

Robinson said that two years ago during the Cerro Grande fire near Los Alamos, EMERCOM had two planes sitting on the runway in Moscow, fully crewed, each plane having three eight-man crews, ready to take off. They had been requested by FEMA, but at the last minute, FEMA told them they weren't needed after all.

The Associated Press reported that then-District IX FEMA director Buddy Young went to the fire and publicly announced, "You will not bring the Russian planes in here: We're not having any Russians coming here and fighting our fires."

But in fact, Robinson pointed out, this has nothing to do with the IL-76 being Russian-made and owned.

The Canadians have their CL-215 tankers and CL-415 SuperScoopers. They developed the CL-215 – which Robinson considers superior to anything the United States has – in 1967, and they've been rebuffed by the Forest Service for 35 years.

"They have not been able to come in and compete for Forest Service contracts because they are not a private contractor association," Robinson explains. "They're part of the Canadian government. It's a quasi-private, public-private partnership, but the Forest Service does not want its contractors to face outside competition."

According to Robinson, the only place Canadian planes are used for firefighting is in Los Angeles County, which leases two of them every year and has for about 10 years, ever since the Malibu canyon fires.

"The county figures, 'We can't trust the Forest Service to be here.' It was a mass debacle where they lost billions of dollars and all those multi-million-dollar Malibu homes. One insurance company lost $100 million in two hours."

Robinson admits to being a "crusader" and even a "zealot."

"That's because I've flown on missions on this plane – I know how good it is," he says. "This plane is ten times bigger than the average tanker they're using in Arizona and Colorado and Oregon, and because it's so heavy it can fly in windy conditions where smaller planes would be grounded."

Designed in the early 1970s for military transport, since the end of the Cold War the IL-76 has been used extensively throughout the world by different countries as a cargo carrier. In order to fly firefighting missions, it is retrofitted with two aluminum tubes, each one 90-feet long, four-feet in diameter, and capable of holding 5,500 gallons of water – a total of 11,000 gallons.

Unlike American tankers that have a pressurized system to dispense the retardant, the Ilyushin has a simple, virtually "bug-free" gravity-flow system. However, this system requires the aircraft to fly straight and horizontal.

"The plane will be flying, say, 150 feet above the ground, at 151 knots [173 mph]," Robinson explained. "The water comes out at the same speed as the plane, as one big sheet of water. But when it gets about a hundred feet above the ground, it slows and comes down as a drenching rain. It's a big blanket of water that comes down vertically in much larger drops [than in the American pressure system]. It's so effective the Russians don't even use fire retardant in it."

The Russian Federation has offered on several occasions to send the plane – or a pair of them – to the U.S., where it could demonstrate its effectiveness on one of the larger wildfires. They ask only for the cost of fuel and food and lodging for the crew. But officials in the USFS have consistently said thanks, but no thanks.

Robinson hopes that this year – with more landscapes than ever blackened by fire – the Forest Service will break its long-standing opposition and agree at least to test the aircraft.

But he is not holding his breath. The Forest Service is adept at deflating any interest a politician or member of the public might show in the Waterbomber, and officials of other agencies are likewise skeptical of its value in firefighting.

"We are not interested in buying or using the IL-76 for several critical reasons," Forest Service spokesman Joe Walsh told the Colorado Springs Gazette in June, at the height of the Hayman fire. "The plane would not meet our firefighting needs."

Walsh said the Forest Service has enough air tankers, "despite what commanders at many of the fires are saying. We're in good shape. We're not having any problems with our resources. We don't have any need for it."

The plane is "too costly and lacks ability to make downhill drops, a necessary maneuver in fighting fires in the mountains. It actually drops too much water."

"It's like wasting water," Walsh said. "Water is not a commodity we can just dump hundreds of thousands of gallons of and not worry about running out, especially in drought conditions."

USFS aviation official Ed Stone shares Walsh's views. "We've had contact with this aircraft since 1994," Stone told ABC News in August 2000. "In the fires of 1994 there was intense political pressure to use it and bring it in, when we were actually holding [our own] planes down. We looked, and we didn't care for the product," he said.

Dennis Lamun, head of Bureau of Land Management's Fixed Wing Program at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, is similarly critical.

"The only thing the IL-76 has in its favor is that it's big," Lamun told WorldNetDaily. "Not that it's sophisticated or technologically advanced, it's just that it's big. We build big airplanes in America, but we don't go out and tank them because they don't fight fire very well."

"Bigger isn't necessarily better," he added. "The Forest Service has more 3,000-gallon, Type 1 air tankers than BLM does, but our philosophy at BLM is that we'd rather have two airplanes carrying 2,500 gallons each, that can go in two different directions, than one airplane carrying 5,000 gallons, because if I want all 5,000 gallons in the same spot, I can get it.

"We have 54 600-, 700-, and 800-gallon airplanes, and we want more of them, and it isn't because we're ignorant that we don't trade all those smaller airplanes in for one big 10,000 gallon one. It's because we know what we want because we fight fire for a living."

In addition to his work for BLM, Lamun heads the Air Tanker Board that represents air tanker contractors and federal firefighting agencies. It is responsible for setting criteria for air tankers and overseeing the certification process.

Robinson never expected such a degree of opposition when he became involved with those trying to bring the Ilyushin into this country.

"I thought it would be easy," he said.

In 1996 he was invited to join Global Emergency Response – a Canadian-Russian-American joint venture, created to sponsor the IL-76 in disaster mitigation around the world. The idea of a company that would arrange the leasing and use of the aircraft was the brainchild of Tom Edmison, president of Total Corporate Aviation Services, a Calgary-based aviation resource company.

Formerly a chief pilot for Gulf Oil, Edmison had routinely flown a B-727 back and forth between Calgary and Russia for oil crew changes. On those runs he got to know the Russians and became familiar with the IL-76, "a marvelous, versatile workhorse."

"When I started this I said to myself 'this is really something,'" Edmison recalls. "Here's a chance to do something entrepreneurial – and it's got peace and the environment written on it. It served everything: It was good business, good for the environment, and it has a tremendous peace message."

He was surprised when the Forest Service didn't see it that way and began placing roadblocks in the way.

Because of Robinson's contacts in the fire prevention community, Edmison and EMERCOM officials approached him, figuring that an American would be able to overcome bureaucratic objections to the IL-76. He agreed to serve as the fledgling group's chief administrator. He's made some progress among politicians, the media and the public, but the door to the Forest Service remains closed.

Part of the problem may be that few Americans – including Forest Service personnel – have actually seen the IL-76 in action. That's not the fault of the Russians or Global Emergency Response. In particular, the Forest Service has shown a singular lack of interest. It has not tested the plane, though in Sept. 1994 – upon an invitation from GER – it sent two specialists to a demonstration at an air show at Bascomb Downs, England, to look the plane over and observe it being put through its paces. They were outnumbered by some 20 members of the media, including the BBC and Associated Press.

Aviation specialist Joe Madar was enthusiastic, reportedly cheering, "My, God, will that thing ever stop dropping water. Perfect, perfect," as the tanker poured out its cargo of water in two passes before the grandstand.

After the demonstration, Madar told a reporter he thought the aircraft could have been effective in the then-recent fires in California, Nevada and Colorado.

The enthusiasm is lacking in his later written report, though Mader noted that the plane could be useful as a "supplemental firefighting resource."

"Miracle" in Greece

WorldNetDaily could find no one within the federal agencies who has actually seen the IL-76 in action. Apparently not one Forest Service or BLM ranger or fire fighter has decided to take a closer look.

Robinson has. And it's that experience he says that changed him from being an enthusiastic supporter into a "zealot."

It was in 1999, and Greece was enduring its worst wildfires in over a century. Infernos were raging in the mountainous terrain, and winds were so fierce the air tankers of the Greek Air Force were grounded.

As he tells it, "There were two 3,000-foot-wide fires that were going unabated because of windy conditions through the mountains, burning all their monuments and forests. CNN was there and said it was unstoppable. But we filled up at the Greek Air Force base, then went to the first fire. We flew by on an observation run, came back around, lined up on the fire, judged the wind direction, opened the doors on the tanks – and whoosh – 10 seconds later we looked back and that 3,000 feet of fire was gone, absolutely gone."

That took care of the first fire. The pilot returned to the base, the tanks were refilled, and they went to the second fire and put that one out just as quickly.

"These fires had burned for a week, with hundreds of firefighters and all kinds of equipment brought in from Germany and other countries," said Robinson. "The Greek media called it a miracle."

Though it convinced Robinson and the Greek public, the Greek government decided against future use of the Waterbomber, preferring instead to invest in a fleet of planes at $25 million each.

Florida burned

In June 1998, Flagler Country in northeast Florida was ablaze. Fires were so bad the Daytona 500 had to be cancelled. Half-a-million acres were eventually devastated and several hundred homes destroyed. A standard criticism about the IL-76 is that it won't work in mountain areas: Flagler County is pancake flat.

On June 22, EMERCOM made an offer to then-Gov. Lawton Chiles to bring in the Waterbomber and a crew. The plane would have been in Florida within 48 hours, Robinson said. All the Russians asked was that the state cover the costs of fuel and maintenance for the aircraft and food and lodging for the crew. A cap of $500,000 for 30 days was placed on the mission.

At first, everything seemed to be moving without a hitch. The state of Florida said OK. Both the Federal Aviation Agency and the State Department gave their approval. The Florida Air National Guard was going to host the aircraft and its crew at Patrick Air Force Base.

Suddenly the governor decided against the offer, and the whole thing fell through.

At a press briefing Chiles tried to justify his decision. "The Forest Service told me that the plane was so big and carries so much water it would destroy homes and kill the firefighters," he said.

Do people really believe this?, Robinson says he wondered in amazement.

Not everybody, surely. Though the Forest Service would like to see it go away, the IL-76 has picked up supporters, including members of the firefighting community.

James Harrison is a battalion chief with the Santa Barbara Co. Fire Dept. in southern California. In his nearly 40-year career as a firefighter he's fought both structure fires and wildfires.

Harrison said he became aware of the IL-76 a couple of years ago – he does not recall the exact date – when a group of Russians came to the United States at the invitation of the U.S. State Department for a week-long session of disaster-preparedness workshops between officials from EMERCOM and local American counterparts.

Harrison met the man who developed the IL-76, and became friends with the head of EMERCOM. They showed him a four-minute video clip of the plane taking off and making water drops.

"All I can say is if the planes are half as good as what this man says they are, we should at least give them a chance," says Harrison.

Harrison followed through by reading all the articles he could find about it, and so far has seen nothing that would make him change his mind.

Asked if he thought the amount of water discharged is not really a good thing, Harrison laughed.

"I think you need to be able to put it where you want," he said, and added, "That's why I'd like to be able to test this aircraft. I'd like to see the thing at work, because they [the Russians] tell me they can put it wherever you want. They tell me that they can put it in a line almost a mile long, and they tell me they can put it very wide for half a mile."

Would he find that useful as a fire professional?

"Absolutely," he exclaimed, and added that he didn't think being able to haul and drop 11,000 gallons "could possibly be a drawback."

"I know the Forest Service disagrees with me, and I disagree with them," he said. "Whichever. But I don't understand why there's anything other than a political reason that I'm not aware off – that we wouldn't at least bring that plane over here and try it."

THE EC0-REGULATORY CONSPIRACY
Here's another major federal government scandal
crying to get legs in the press. Under a law known as the
Intergovernmental Personnel Act, the federal government
"lends out" 1,200 to 1,500 well paid federal bureaucrats to
left-wing non-profit organizations each year.(1)
If anyone wonders how the United Nations
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) fit in with the federal
government's regulatory agencies, there is a simple answer:
They often trade employees back and forth -- most of whom
are on the federal payroll.
A while back, we reported that the relationship
between eco-whacko groups and United Nations NGOs and
federal agencies, like the EPA, was so tight it appeared
there was a revolving door between them. Fact is, most of
these people are kept on the federal payroll, even while
working for the NGOs. They can even get overtime and
promotions while working for private groups.
Some over budgeted federal agencies give grants
to nonprofit groups. Often, federal regulatory agencies
even offer grants to nonprofit organizations that use the
money to sue the granting agency. It's all a big game, with
a well orchestrated game plan. The bureaucratic plan is to
grab more power, and their game plan works quite well.
The idea is for nonprofit NGOs to use taxpayer
funds to force federal agencies to regulate the American
public in ways the NGOs desire. Many of the laws, rules and
regulations these NGOs want promulgated would be much too
harsh to get passed through normal means. So, they trump up
some "need" or "violation," whether environmental or health,
and the NGO sues the regulatory agency in court.
It's a synergistic relationship. As is part of
the arrangement, the federal agencies intentionally lose in
court. Because, by losing in court, the regulatory agencies
gain more power over the American people.
The courts "force" the federal regulatory agency
to regulate whatever. The federal regulatory agency ends up
with more power and churns out even more regulations,
forcing American citizens to act according to the wish of
the NGO. It's all very simple and very effective. And, our
elected representatives in Congress are kept completely out
of the loop.
For instance, over the years, a not-for-profit
organization called STAPPA/ALAPCO -- two groups sharing the
same offices and staff -- has received 49 grants from the
EPA, totaling $13,190,826.(2)
What does this organization do to earn those grants?
They held a few useless (and lightly attended) forums over
the years. Mostly, though, they schedule regular
appearances before congressional committees to promote and
implement the policies of the EPA -- and lobby for more tax
dollars to do it. And, of course, they pay staff workers in
selected areas around the country to do the same at the
state level. Mostly, though, the paid staff at state levels
are but a lobbying ploy. They are there simply to give the
appearance, in Washington, of having a large grass roots
presence.
Many environmental groups have a revolving door
relationship with the federal enforcement agencies like EPA
and Fish and Wildlife. The agencies want "experienced
people" and the environmental groups provide them.
So, it's really no surprise that many millions
of tax dollars go out in grants each year to the very
environmental groups wanting every little critter and bug in
the world protected by law. In fact, it is quite common in
Washington for a department or agency to give funds to
private, nonprofit groups, which then turn around and spend
the money to advocate and lobby for more funds for the
granting agency. That taxpayer funded a merry-go-round is
the big joke among eco-whackos. They got us coming and
going.
Again, the most egregious agency practicing this sort
of scam is the Environmental Protection Agency. Over the
past few years, EPA gave tens of millions of dollars to
nongovernmental organizations directly involved in very
liberal political advocacy. For instance, from 1993 through
1995, the Environmental Defense Fund received over $1.8-
million, and the Natural Resources Defense Council -- both
environmental advocacy organizations -- received nearly
$1-million. In return, both groups have attacked all
congressional efforts to reduce EPA funding and fought
proposals by Congress to require federal agencies to examine
the costs of public regulations.
Environmental groups also used their federal
grants to fund lawsuits to increase the protected species
rolls -- and hence to further increase the powers of federal
regulatory agencies. Just last week, a cabal of eco-whacko
groups appealed in court to stop the federal government
from allowing 226 acres in Montana's Gallatin National
Forest from being logged. Apparently, said the complaint,
the government did not do enough to adequately review the
plight of grizzlies, which are listed as threatened under the
Endangered Species Act.
Dr. Reed F. Noss of The Wildlands Project
clarifies the radical environmentalists' position nicely:
"The collective needs of non-human species must take
precedence over the needs and desires of humans."
As nonprofit organizations, these NGOs may
receive donations from any source, including United Nations
organizations and multi-national corporations. So it is no
surprise that these nonprofit groups sometimes receive
donations from businesses and business organizations wanting
to force specific actions by the federal government. In
these instances, the nonprofit NGO may then act as a
"backdoor" lobbyist, appearing as a nonprofit citizen's
group while actually doing the work of a professional
lobbyist organization. And, because these nonprofit groups
have such close ties with regulatory agency personnel, their
lobbying efforts are usually very fruitful.
Which means, United Nations and UNESCO programs
are being implemented in the United States even though,
officially, the federal government has approved no formal
agreement. Congress abdicated its duty to make law to the
regulatory agencies years ago. Over the years, these federal
regulatory agencies have become infested with personnel who
have very close ties to many of the United Nations Non-
Governmental Organizations. Therefore, treaties and
agreements are not always necessary for the United Nations
and UNESCO to work their will on the American people.
The huge number of acres dedicated to biospheres and
wildlands throughout the United States is a major example of
how well that nefarious scheme works.
Congress, as mentioned above, is completely out
of the loop. There is no longer anything they can do about
any of this except to watch. Unless, that is, they again
begin to honor each and every word of our Constitution, as
written -- which is not likely.

NOTE: Here's a flash from the past. For your
enjoyment, below are but three selected quotations from the
hundreds published -- with a straight face -- by established
environmentalists. These very enlightening quotes are self-
explanatory and we feel no further comment is necessary:
"The continued rapid cooling of the earth since
WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution
associated with industrialization, mechanization,
urbanization and exploding population." -- Reid Bryson,
Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for
Man, (1971)
"There are ominous signs that the earth's weather
patterns have begun to change dramatically and that
these changes may portend a drastic decline in food
production -- with serious political implications for just
about every nation on earth. The drop in food production
could begin quite soon. . . . The evidence in support of
these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively
that meteorologist[s] are hard-pressed to keep up with it."
-- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
"Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age
of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many
key minerals will be facing depletion." -- Paul Ehrlich
in (1976)

"and perhaps the world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool"
IE selective EUGENIC BIOLOGICAL warfare

By Neil Mackay

A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001.
The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.'

The PNAC document supports a 'blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests'.

This 'American grand strategy' must be advanced for 'as far into the future as possible', the report says. It also calls for the US to 'fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars' as a 'core mission'.

The report describes American armed forces abroad as 'the cavalry on the new American frontier'. The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must 'discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'.

The PNAC report also:

l refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership';

l describes peace-keeping missions as 'demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations';

l reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA;

l says 'even should Saddam pass from the scene' bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently -- despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of US troops -- as 'Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has';

l spotlights China for 'regime change' saying 'it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia'. This, it says, may lead to 'American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China';

l calls for the creation of 'US Space Forces', to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent 'enemies' using the internet against the US;

l hints that, despite threatening war against Iraq for developing weapons of mass destruction, the US may consider developing biological weapons -- which the nation has banned -- in decades to come. It says: 'New methods of attack -- electronic, 'non-lethal', biological -- will be more widely available ... combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool';

l and pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of a 'world-wide command-and-control system'.

Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: 'This is garbage from right-wing think-tanks stuffed with chicken-hawks -- men who have never seen the horror of war but are in love with the idea of war. Men like Cheney, who were draft-dodgers in the Vietnam war.

They Shoot Poachers, Don't They?
In the heart of central Africa, marauding bands of bush-meat hunters are terrorizing villages and slaughtering wildlife to the brink of extinction. Now a family practitioner from Wyoming has decided to recruit his own army to stop them.

By Tom Clynes

The story, as I first heard it, had the zing of a Hollywood pitch: Led by a soft-spoken doctor, a band of American conservationists had persuaded the president of the Central African Republic to let them raise a militia and take over the eastern third of the Texas-size country. Their mission was to drive out the marauding gangs of Sudanese poachers who were rapidly wiping out the region's elephants and other animals. Their authority: Shoot on sight.

No one had been killed yet when I arrived in Bangui in early March. Throughout the dilapidated capital, signs of a November coup attempt were still fresh: Bullet divots scored the bricks of the Tropicana Club, and a curfew remained in effect. A detachment of Libyan paratroopers hulked in front of the mansion of President Ange-Félix Patassé, who had been bailed out, again, by his friend Muammar Qaddafi.

Most of the fighting had taken place in the northern reaches of town, where the American group, Africa Rainforest and River Conservation (ARRC), had rented a gated compound. As I approached the large whitewashed porch, it struck me that ARRC was well prepared for another flare-up. Scattered among the wicker furniture were several men in fatigues, a couple of AK-47s, a grenade launcher, and a very excited chimpanzee.

Dave Bryant, a 49-year-old South African who had been hired in August to lead the militia, extended his hand. "Welcome to bloody paradise," he said. He introduced a slight, 26-year-old Iowan named Michelle Wieland, who was in charge of ARRC's community-development component, and a thin 35-year-old named Richard Hagen, who had flown up from South Africa to help with security.

"And the little fellow jumping up and down is Commando," said Bryant. "We rescued him from a Sudanese trader, and to show his appreciation he's been crapping all over our floors."

Bryant's face seemed custom-assembled for bad-ass impact. Beneath a clean-shaven scalp, a towering forehead descended into a deep ravine of a scowl line, bridged by wraparound sunglasses. An expansive Fu Manchu mustache arched around a loaded cigarette holder, which dangled expertly from one side of his mouth.

"I guess you've heard that we're in a bit of a cock-up," he said. "We've been stuck in this shit-hole for five months now, trying to get out into the bush to do a reccy [reconnaissance] before the rains hit. We're waiting for gear, we're waiting for money, and we're waiting for vehicles. And we're waiting for people in this zoo they call a government to do something other than put their bloody hands out."

The three were eager to hear about my meeting that day with the American ambassador, Mattie Sharpless. Sharpless had recently arrived in Bangui, and I had asked her what she knew about ARRC.

"The rumor is that they're hiring South African mercenaries and diverting funds into diamond ventures," Sharpless had answered.

By Wesley J. Smith

During the first three decades of the 20th century the eugenics movement thrived in the United States and throughout much of the Western world. Meaning “good in birth,” eugenicists believed that society could improve the physical, mental, cultural, and social health of humanity through selective breeding techniques that would eventually eliminate feeblemindedness, epilepsy, criminality, insanity, alcoholism, and pauperism.

This utopia was to be created through a two-pronged approach to procreation: first, by promoting eugenically correct marriages, the so-called “positive eugenics,” and second, by preventing the “unfit” from procreating at all, known as “negative eugenics.”

Of course, it all ended horribly. Indeed, how could it not have? The movement was, after all, based on the pernicious premise that some people are better than others. When inequality is the basis for public policy, oppression inevitably follows. In the United States, eugenics oppression took the form of 60,000 “undesirables” being involuntarily sterilized between 1907 and 1963. In Germany, it paved the way for the Holocaust.

What does all of this have to do with philanthropy? The answer is: it takes money.

It takes money to change a nation’s morality and public policies from the top down: research must be funded, academic chairs established, issue advocates supported, studies commissioned, articles in academic and medical journals underwritten, advertisements paid for, the popular culture influenced in myriad ways.

Sadly, eugenics from the start was substantially supported by some of the nation’s richest and most influential foundations. The Rockefeller Foundation, for instance, began supporting eugenics before World War I, and one of the first major donations made by the Carnegie Institute of Washington went to provide seed funding for the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories Station for Experimental Evolution, for many years the nation’s most influential eugenics research center.

Everything Old Is New Again

The popularity of eugenics declined in the 1930s and all but died out after the Holocaust-although sterilization laws remained on the books in some states well into the 1960s. But now, nearly a century after eugenics’ heyday, a new social movement is spreading among members of the elite professions of law, medicine, government, and the academy.

As with eugenics backers before them, movement adherents are busily about the business of culling humanity into favored and disfavored categories and proposing public policies that would, if implemented, medically discriminate against the most weak and vulnerable among us. And proving that the more things change the more they stay the same, private philanthropy is generating much of the steam behind the movement’s forward momentum.

The movement has a name-bioethics-an abstruse branch of analytical philosophy practiced primarily by an elite group of academics, philosophers, lawyers, and physicians, known generically as bioethicists.

The reader will learn that President George Herbert Walker Bush's concept of the New World Order is an old idea,

Skull & Bones was founded at Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut in 1832

At any given time, only about 600 or so members of the Order are alive. This small number underscores the tremendous concentration of power in the hands of its members. If the members of Skull & Bones were to select a Hall of Fame from among their own elite ranks, some of the people whose names would almost certainly appear at the top of the list would be:
* Alphonso Taft, a founding member of the Order who served as the Secretary of War under President Rutherford B. Hayes (1876-1880).
* William Howard Taft, the only man to ever serve as both the President of and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
* Henry Lewis Stimson, partner in the Wall Street law firm of Root and Stimson, Secretary of War under President Taft (1908-1912), Governor General of the Philippines (1926-1928), Secretary of State under President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933) and Secretary of War under Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman (1940-1946).
* Averell Harriman, investment banker with Brown Brothers Harriman, director of the Lend-Lease program of the U.S. State Department (1941-1942), U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union (1943-1946), Governor of New York, Under Secretary of State for Asia (1961-1963), and presidential secret envoy to Soviet leaders Stalin, Krushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov.
* Robert Lovett, partner in Brown Brothers Harriman, Assistant Secretary of War for Air (1941-1945), Deputy Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Defense (1950), leading member of the New York Council on Foreign Relations.
* Harold Stanley, investment banker, founder of Morgan Stanley.
* Robert A. Taft, United States Senator (1938-1950).
* Prescott Bush, investment banker and partner in Brown Brothers Harriman, United States Senator from Connecticut, father of George Herbert Walker Bush
* George Herbert Walker Bush, United States Congressman (1964-1970), Chairman of the Republican National Committee, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, first American Diplomatic Liaison to the Peoples Republic of China, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (1975-1977). Vice President of the United States (1980-1988), President of the United States (1988- ).
* John Thomas Daniels, agro-industrialist, founder of Archer Daniels Midland.
* Hugh Wilson, foreign service officer, Counselor to Japan (1911- 1921), U.S. Minister to Switzerland (1924-1927), Assistant Secretary of State (1937-1938). Ambassador to Germany 1938), Special Assistant to the Secretary of State (1939-1941), Office of Strategic Services (1941-1945)

Regardless of these conflicting accounts, it can be stated with certainty that the Order was first established on the Yale campus in 1832. It was officially incorporated only in 1856 under the name Russell Trust Association. According to virtually all the available biographical data on its early members, the money required to sustain the secret order's campus affairs and its broader role in placing its members into key positions of influence upon their graduation from Yale, derived from the opium trade in the Far East. That trade was set up by the British East India Company and was flourishing by the time the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783 ending the American War for Independence. The East India Company during this period was controlled by the Baring Brothers Bank (Toward the closing decades of the l7th century, the British House of Rothschild would supplant the Baring Brothers as the controlling financial interests in the China opium trade). Through the sponsorship of the Barings and also the Rothschilds, a number of leading New England families, some of whom had sided with Great Britain during the American Revolution, were brought into the opium trade as junior partners. These merchant families ran fleets of clipper ships and became in many cases fabulously wealthy as the result of their association with the British East India Company. Among these key New England merchant families were; Cabot, Coolidge, Forbes, Higginson, Sturgis, Lodge, Lowell, Perkins and Russell. These New England merchant families founded the United Fruit Company and the Bank of Boston. The founding families of Skull & Bones included the Russell and Perkins families. Over several generations, however, all these families heavily intermarried and became, in effect, one extended power grouping. William Huntington Russell incorporated Skull & Bones as the Russell Trust Association. Throughout the 20th century, the Russell Trust Association listed the New York City headquarters of Brown Brothers Harriman as its address. Russell was valedictorian of his class at Yale in 1833.

In the world of Skull & Bones, one of the greatest virtues is the ability to steer the nation into war and to successfully prosecute the war. To the Bonesmen, the use of military power is a natural and essential corollary to political power. The Bonesmen are taught that, although ideas have their place, to truly transform history, military force is almost always required. Critics of the Order have pointed out that this philosophy of power and the imperial use of military force comes straight from the chronicles of the Roman Empire--especially the Roman Empire during its phase of decline and collapse. The criticism may prove to be most prophetically true of the current generation of Bonesmen who are leading the United States under the presidency of George Bush. During the final phase of the Roman Empire, legions were deployed out around the world to conquer and subjugate vast territories, while back in Rome, there was a breakdown, a crisis in which the entire social and cultural fabric of the early Roman republic was eroding and giving way to something akin to the drug-rock-sex counterculture of today. The Roman imperial policy of attempting to gloss over the decadence at home by engaging in constant wars of expansion led ultimately to the total collapse of Rome

VIETNAM: THE BONESMEN'S DEBACLE

According to author David Halberstam's best-selling critique of the Kennedy years, The Best and the Brightest, the JFK presidency marked the high point of Skull & Bones postwar power. But it also marked the beginning of the secret fraternity's fall from the position of unchallenged power, and the beginning of America's precipitous decline as a world power. All these factors are summed up in one word: Vietnam. John Fitzgerald Kennedy's Cabinet was largely handpicked by Skull & Bones elder statesman Robert Lovett, who was personally approached by Joseph Kennedy, the president's father, and asked to shape the direction of the new administration. Lovett had been one of the architects of the World War II industrial mobilization under President Franklin Roosevelt, which helped bring the United States out of the Great Depression. He had been a factional opponent of Averell Harriman within the Skull & Bones circles, initially opposing the Cold War containment doctrine and pushing the idea of Atoms for Peace during the early years of the Eisenhower presidency (l952-1960). Kennedy had personally asked Lovett to join his Cabinet, but Lovett, a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman, preferred to shun formal government service. Instead, he placed a number of younger Bonesmen into the critical posts. McGeorge Bundy was appointed Kennedy's National Security Adviser. Averell Harriman was made Under Secretary of State for Asian Affairs, a position that placed him in charge of many of the most critical decisions along the way to disaster in Vietnam. William Bundy remained in a senior post at CIA. The decision to escalate the American military involvement in Vietnam--a rejection of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's prophetic warning that the United States should never engage in a ground war in Asia--was made by members of the Order. According to some accounts, President Kennedy began to have serious second thoughts about escalating the war, particularly after several private Oval Office discussions with MacArthur. With Kennedy's assassination, American soldiers began pouring into Southeast Asia. Harriman remained a fixture of Vietnam policy under President Lyndon Baines Johnson. McGeorge Bundy remained on as LBJ's National Security Adviser until 1966, when he left government service to assume the presidency of the Ford Foundation, the largest tax-exempt philanthropic agency in the United States. The Ford Foundation annually dispenses of nearly $3 billion in grants. In his capacity as president of the Ford Foundation, Bundy helped finance the anti-Vietnam War movement. The National Student Mobilization Committee, the umbrella group for the entire New Left of the late 1960s and early 1970s, was led by David Dellinger, a Yale graduate. Episcopal Church activist William Sloan Coffin, a Bonesman, a second leading figure in the anti-war protest movement, had previously served as a CIA officer. Thus, the Order had its hands in two critical elements of the policy debacle of the second half of the 1960s. Some leading Bonesmen helped shape the disastrous limited war strategy in Vietnam, while other members of the Order, at least tacitly, contributed to the growth of the drug-rock-sex counterculture by nourishing the New Left soil from which it sprang

BUSH IN PROFILE

Political legends have it that George Bush shunned his family's patronage and went off on his own to launch a business career as an oil wildcatter, or speculator, in Texas. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Bush moved to Texas to work for Dresser Industries selling oil drilling equipment. The job was arranged for him by his father with Dresser president Neil Mallon, who was a fellow member of Skull Bones. Dresser, according to several sources, had close ties with the CIA. After a few years with Dresser, George Bush set up his own company, Zapata Oil, to explore new oil fields in Texas and Mexico. Again, Bush was heavily backed by member of his family. Uncle George Herbert Walker, also a Skull & Bonesman, put up a large amount of capital, as did Brown Brothers Harriman. Lazard Brothers, a Jewish brokerage house with longstanding friendly ties to the New England WASPs, put up some money as well, at the urging of Andre Meyer, the owner of the Washington Post Corporation and the father of the current Post publisher Katherine Graham. Zapata Oil sunk the first offshore well for the Kuwaiti government. Even with that kind of backing, George Bush was less than a success as a businessman. In 1964, a longtime Bush friend, William Farrish III of Scotland, bought the majority of shares in Zapata for $3.2 million to keep the business afloat, while George, in a major career shift, ran for U.S. Congress from a wealthy district in Houston, Texas. He won. During his three terms in Congress (Bush lost the 1970 Senate race to Lloyd Bentsen), George Bush distinguished himself as an advocate of zero population growth and a defender of the eugenics movement. Both of these positions, radical for their day, were probably the result of Bush's close friendship with William Draper Jr., a fellow Bonesman and a longtime advocate of population reduction schemes in the Third World.

We have already seen that McGeorge Bundy, a leading Bonesman, left his position as National Security Adviser to President Lyndon Johnson in 1966 assume the presidency of the Ford Foundation. During the nearly two decades that Bundy spent directing the $3 billion tax-exempt fund, he arguably wielded more power than he did during his six years as the National Security Adviser to two presidents. Under the Bundy reign the Ford Foundation spent hundred of millions of dollars to launch the environmentalist movement and funded scores of projects devoted to population reduction in the Third World. From its early decades, the Order has concentrated much of its efforts at establishing, controlling and, in some instances, capturing the major tax-exempt philanthropic foundations of America. The Russell Sage Foundation, which specializes in "social control" programs, was founded by Bonesmen. Among the leading functions of the Russell Sage Foundation today is the maintaining of a centralized tracking of the finances of all the large tax-exempt foundations in the United States. The Peabody Foundation, the Slater Foundation and several of the Rockefeller foundations were all either started by members of the Order or haw been dominated by Bonesmen from their inception. Other major family funds, like the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment, were wrestled from family control by the Skull & Bones apparatus. During the tenure of McGeorge Bundy, two members of the Ford family resigned from the Ford Foundation in disgust over the direction in which Bundy had taken the philanthropic agency.

Ford Foundation's Skull & Bones Link
by bob feldman (a few excerpts)

Skull and Bones is a small, secret society of Yale University. During the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century it was home to many rich, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant young men who went on to run the country, including William Howard Taft, Republican president from 1908 to 1912; Averell Harriman, the leading financier of the Democratic Party from 1932 to 1992; Prescott Bush, the manager of Harriman's bank, Republican senator, and father of George Bush; and George Bush, Republican president from 1988 to 1992 [and the father of the current U.S. president, George W. Bush]. The list could be filled out with the names of scores of very influential Americans--for example, Henry Stimson, Republican financier and two-time secretary of war, and Henry Luce, the nation's leading publisher (TIME, LIFE, FORTUNE, etc.).

Another Skull and Bones member who has been playing a prominent role in U.S. Establishment politics since the now-deceased McGeorge Bundy moved out of his Ford Foundation office in 1978 is U.S. Senator John Kerry--who has been mentioned as a possible Democratic Party presidential candidate in 2004.

THOSE WHO DISMANTLED OUR CONSTITUTION

It is commonly assumed that there is no aristocracy, let alone a nobility, in America. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In his work, Ancestors of American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts of the New England Historic Genealogical Society reveals nineteen presidents descended from Edward III.

John Galt (a pen name of a researcher fearing to be identified), in an unpublished manuscript (now in my possession), The Genealogy of the New World Order, has traced the royal ancestry of George Bush, which traces from Charlemagne and Alfred the Great, all the way down through George Bush's 32 presidential cousins!

Other notable Bush relatives include the Grovsner families of England and America, and the Taft family of Ohio. The Grovsners of England are the Dukes of Westminster who own the most substantial properties in the City of London --- the banker's capital. Of over 100,000 acres of Grovsner property, most is in the financial district of London! In America, the Grovsners founded Nation Geographic. National Geographic is known for sweeping down on the archeological treasures of the world, especially those of a religious significance, and spiriting them away to the Smithsonian Institute, controlled by their cousins the Smithsons, also descended from the Percys. Imposing false interpretations on religious finds is very important to the House of Sion. As interesting as these family affiliations are, it is the Taft family which turns out to be the most politically interesting.

Although George Bush's official 1980 presidential candidate biography listed both his Presidency of the TRILATERAL COMMISSION and his membership in the YALE secret society SKULL AND BONES, no major news organization mentioned either of these telling affiliations. Let us take a closer look at SKULL AND BONES.

SKULL AND BONES (S&B), was first established by the graduating class of 1832 of YALE UNIVERSITY by William Harrison Russell and Alphonso Taft, the father of President William Howard Taft. It is significant to note that Alphonso Taft was thereafter powerful enough to manipulate his son into both the presidency and the Chief Justiceship of the U.S. SUPREME COURT

From the beginning, S&B was the recruiting grounds for William Harrison Russell's RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY which managed the SKULL AND BONES treasury.

Founded in 1823, the RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY superseded the Perkins family to become the dominant opium trafficking syndicate in North America. The shipping manifests from those days have survived intact to make this claim solid. Russell's partners in this venture were those loyal to the Crown of ENGLAND, , and this allegiance persists to this day with their descendants, who comprise what is known today as the EASTERN LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT.

The wealth of the Royal Family of GREAT BRITAIN and this Tory group in AMERICA was all founded on the illegal opium trade from TURKEY to CHINA. Today nothing has facilitated the illegal narcotics trade as much as the phoney drug war of the Reagan/Bush era. A dozen books name Theodore Shackley (who served as number two under George Bush in the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY) as the man who organized the opium trade in the Golden Triangle. Contra cocaine, Mena, Arkansas---it all tempts one to speculate that maybe the Bush family never abandoned their interest in this most lucrative narcotics business.

Among Russell's partners was Warren Delano, Jr., Chief of RUSSELL TRUST operations in Canton, CHINA. Delano was the grandfather of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, another Bush cousin. Other Russell partners were John Cleve Green, whose opium fortunes financed PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, Abiel Abbott Low, whose opium fortune financed the construction of COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, Joseph Coolidge, whose son organized the UNITED FRUIT COMPANY, and his grandson, Archibald Cary Coolidge, who was a founding executive officer of the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS. Is the reader beginning to discern a pattern?

Eventually, S&B came to be dominated by BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN, the largest private investment bank in AMERICA. The CEO of this power group, Averell Harriman, was the mentor of George Bush's father, Prescott Bush. George Bush's grandfather George Herbert Walker, served as president of BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN. The Bush family has SPENT three generations in service to the Harriman interests. That is why it is downright nefarious that it was the widow of Averell Harriman, Pamela Harriman, who was the principle backer of Bill Clinton for President. When Clinton lost the campaign for Governor of Arkansas, it was Pamela who picked him up, dusted him off and made him chairman of PAM-PAC--the largest fund raising source for the Democratic Party. Some cynics think that George Bush is still president, using Bill Clinton as a front, just as he had used Ronald Reagan. Remember, anyone who wanted to meet with President Reagan had to first go through Bush's former campagn manager, Chief of Staff James Baker.

Quite significantly it was during the Taft presidency that our constitution was dismantled. As Chief Justice, Taft fashioned the state constitutions of Arizona and New Mexico--also highly significant.

During the Taft presidency, the bills which forever altered the balance of power of The Constitution were incubated. The 17th Amendment, calling for the direct election of senators, guaranteeing that senatorial elections could be purchased by big money interests was
