Ancient Burial Site Discovered

     Archeologists recently discovered more than a thousand corpses in a previously unknown part of Rome&#039;s catacombs. The corpses, dating to the second century A.D. (the 100s), were dressed in fine clothes that were embroidered with gold thread. Christians at that time buried everyone elegantly in expectation of the resurrection.

     &quot;These were not galleries or cubicles, but big rooms completely full of skeletons,&quot; said Raffaella Giuliani, the chief inspector of the Roman catacombs. She said that workmen had to work very carefully with the corpses in order to excavate them without destroying them.

A message from Charles W. Sanders:

A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS RULED, RENEW THE CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT NOW

ACTION PAGE: http://www.charleswsanders.org/petitions/pnum262.php

On Friday, August 18th, I filed the necessary nominating petition signatures to compete for the Democratic party nomination for the U.S. House 
in the 3rd District of OH.  Due to the sudden and unexpected withdrawal of our candidate, it has been determined that there must be a special election on September 15 to fill the election vacancy

We now have a fresh opportunity to make the case to my constituents that the Bush administration must be peaceably removed from office.  This is made all the more urgent by the ruling of a federal judge that the 
president has categorically broken the law in deliberately violating the 1st and 4th amendments to the Constitution by wiretapping American citizens without warrant....

From a childhood friend&#039;s comments on Some of The Above News&#039;s campaign for the truth about 9/11:

    &quot;....That is without a doubt the biggest bunch of drivel.  How do you explain the planes that went down in Pennsylvania or into the Pentagon?   And why should the government be responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center when that is so crucial to American capitalism?  They could have achieved the same effect with a lesser target.  But the far left is doing its damage because I heard that a third of the American people believe this crap.  What has always amazed me is that you believe it.  You&#039;re far too bright for that, I thought.  But it strikes me that maybe you don&#039;t believe it, but that it&#039;s a useful tool.
    Well, after that cheery note, I&#039;ll say TTFN (ta-ta for now).&quot;

EDITOR REPLIES:

     Thank you for the opportunity to enlighten you (and at the same time many of the slower members of the Some of The Above News subscriber family). As you know our motto is: &quot;There are no dumb questions; only dumb questioners.&quot;
     Your right-wingnut talking points suggest that you are probably an avid fan of the talking haircuts of the TeeVee News. While I don&#039;t have time today to answer all these points, I will link you to some sites which will answer them, and most others you might come up with in your journey back to good old USofA reality.
Give the soaps a rest, Dearie! Loosen up with the Loose Change crowd. Spend some quality time with http://www.911truth.org and your brain.
     Synchronistically enough, this very day I ran across the article excerpted below. I call your attention especially to this quote from it:
     &quot;....After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the &quot;official story&quot; put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false....&quot;
     You should take great comfort in the fact that this truth-seeker, a former CIA official, was also bamboozled by the corporate media for five years.
     Yours truly spent only about one and one-half years in the dark, probably mostly because I have not watched television since 1994, and because my reading and experiences had already made me skeptical of the government/media complex. Thus I was already more inclined to question government/media claims. 
     You seem to believe that it is the &quot;far left&quot; that is convincing people, but one of 9/11 truth-seekers&#039; main frustrations is the EXTREME timidity, the church-mouse silence on the matter, of NEARLY ALL of the &quot;left&quot; &quot;progressive&quot; publications, pundits, websites, blogs, talk show hosts, etc. They have come to be called &quot;the left gate-keepers.&quot; Like the proverbial dog in the manger they not only neglect the vital information they have access to, but also keep it from everybody else. Fear is the main factor here: fear of losing their grants, being black-balled by colleagues and sources, being called &quot;conspiracy theorists,&quot; irresponsible, irrelevant, etc. And fear of being targeted for career and/or physical harassment or termination.  Actually some of the most courageous and eloquent 9/11 &quot;detectives&quot; are conservatives, like  Paul Craig Roberts, who was a high official in the Reagan administration, Wall Street Journal writer, etc.
     Thus your &quot;useful tool&quot; hypothesis don&#039;t hunt. 

Excerpt from: 

 Another Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out for 9/11 Truth

 Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11 

by Bill Christison
www.dissidentvoice.org
August 14, 2006 

....Let&#039;s address the real issues here. Why is it important that we not let the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 be drowned out? After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the &quot;official story&quot; put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false. I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. The items below highlight the major questions surrounding 9/11 but do not constitute a detailed recounting of the evidence available....  

....This should be worked on at two different levels. At the first level, the objective should be long-term, centered on making a maximum effort to find out who the individuals and groups are that carried out the attacks in New York and Washington. Then, these people should be tried in an international court and, if possible, convicted and punished for causing so many deaths. Such a trial, accompanied by actual change in U.S. policies, would show that some people on this globe are at least trying to move closer to more just and decent behavior in human relationships around the world. 

At the second level, the short term, the task should be to immediately set to work as hard as is humanly possible to defeat in this year&#039;s congressional election any candidate who refuses to support a no-holds-barred investigation of 9/11 by the Congress or a high-level international court. No more evidence than is now available is needed in order to begin this process. 

A manageable volume of carefully collected and analyzed evidence is already at hand on both items ONE and TWO above. Such evidence should be used right now to buttress charges that elements within the Bush administration, as well as possibly other groups foreign or domestic, were involved in a massive fraud against the American people, a fraud that has led to many thousands of deaths....

CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN

[This is excerpted  from a seven-page transcript of a talk by John Perkins called &quot;Confessions of an economic Hit Man&quot; Given at South Hadley, MA, 11 January 2005, broadcast on ALTERNATIVE RADIO]

     John Perkins was a loan shark to developing countries. After a stint in the Peace Corps in Latin America, he went to work as an economic planner for an international consulting firm that was a front for the National Security Administration. His book, CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN is a bestseller.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     What we&#039;re going to talk about is the post-World War II history of the world as I see it. and that history is essentially the story of empire. During the period since World War II, we&#039;ve managed to create the world&#039;s first truly global empire, and it&#039;s the only empire in history that&#039;s ever been created primarily without the military. It&#039;s been created through economics, through economic hit men.

     And it&#039;s a very subtle empire: it&#039;s an empire that many of us who live in that empire don&#039;t realize is an empire. We wouldn&#039;t even call it that. When you create an empire as the Romans did or the Persians or the Chinese or the conquistadores or the British Empire or the French or the Dutch Empires, through military, everybody knows you&#039;re doing it, because all your young men, and sometimes women, are going off to fight in the wars. But when you create an empire through economics, it&#039;s very possible to keep that pretty secret from most of the people, most of the time. Nonetheless, we&#039;ve created an empire....

     ....It was a change of consciousness. Civil movements are powerful. I think there are a few of you out there who may be familiar, I&#039;ve written five other books before this one on indigenous people and shamanism. That was when I was doing the nonprofit work which was partly assuaging my guilt. I took bribes not to write this book back in the early 1990s and put most of the money in the nonprofit, which went to helping indigenous people in many of the countries that I had ripped off before. But what I&#039;ve learned, I&#039;ve worked with many, many indigenous countries around the world, the Bugis of Indonesia, the Bushmen, the Zulus, the people of the Asian Steppes, the Mayas, the Hopi, the Quechua, the Shuar, all of these people have prophecies. Every one of them that I know of has a prophecy that we are in a time of tremendous transition and a potential for great things to happen. I was with the Dalai Lama not long ago in Ladakh, and I just came back from Tibet a few months ago. And those prophecies are everywhere. I believe that we&#039;re in a time when it&#039;s been prophesied that this is the time for potential change, not that change will happen, but that the potential exists and we have to do it.

     And I believe what the indigenous people have always taught me throughout the years from many, many different cultures, that each one of us comes into this body at this time with a mission for a reason. And our schools often teach us to forget about that. But here we are now, at this very critical time. Each of you has come in here at this time for a reason with a mission, and you&#039;re sitting in this room now for some reason. Something drew you here today. The idea of a confession of an economic hit man. I don&#039;t think you&#039;re all Catholic priests waiting for someone to confess into your ear out there. What drew you here? Why are you here this time? I think you&#039;re here because you&#039;re ready to see us move to this next step. You&#039;re ready to see us realize the dream of our founding fathers, you&#039;re ready to see us create a world that we&#039;re going to be proud of. 

     I&#039;m going to turn 60 in a couple of weeks. I have a 22-year-old daughter. I don&#039;t know how much time I&#039;ve got left on this planet, but I do know that I want to devote all of what I&#039;ve got left to making this a better world for her and her generation than the one I would be leaving her if I were to leave right now. So here we&#039;re poised at this amazing time in history, a time that&#039;s been prophesied by all these cultures. Here you are sitting here in the wealthiest country that history has ever known, tremendous resources, tentacles that reach to the farthest corners of the planet, the ability to do remarkable things, to create the world that we all want to see created. And so I submit to you that it&#039;s now time to get off our butts and let&#039;s get out there and change this world. Thank you.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. &#124; Democracy in Crisis
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072006A.shtml
In an interview with 
Brad Friedman (of BradBlog),
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains that &quot;the Republican
Party, the Republican National Committee, has been
using old-fashioned, Jim Crow, apartheid-type
maneuvers to steal the last two national elections.&quot;

    Bradblog: In summary, how optimistic or
pessimistic are you about our ability to get our
country back?

    RFK JR.: Well, you know, my attitude is that I
don&#039;t try to predict the future, I can only say that
those of us who care about this country have to keep
fighting, and whether you think you&#039;re gonna win or
lose, you gotta just keep slugging and you gotta be
ready to die with your boots on, because that&#039;s what
our forefathers did, they started a revolution, and
they put their fortunes and their lives at stake. And
we need to summon the same kind of courage from our
generation, and demand that kind of courage from our
leadership.

    BB: And we have to get that message out to the
Democratic leadership as well.

    RFK JR.: And that&#039;s what you guys are doing....

They could have achieved the same effect with a lesser target.  But the far left is doing its damage because I heard that a third of the American people believe this crap.  What has always amazed me is that you believe it.  You&#8217;re far too bright for that, I thought.  But it strikes me that maybe you don&#8217;t believe it, but that it&#8217;s a useful tool.<br />
    Well, after that cheery note, I&#8217;ll say TTFN (ta-ta for now).&#8221;<br />

<p>EDITOR REPLIES:</p>
<p>     Thank you for the opportunity to enlighten you (and at the same time many of the slower members of the Some of The Above News subscriber family). As you know our motto is: &#8220;There are no dumb questions; only dumb questioners.&#8221;<br />
     Your right-wingnut talking points suggest that you are probably an avid fan of the talking haircuts of the TeeVee News. While I don&#8217;t have time today to answer all these points, I will link you to some sites which will answer them, and most others you might come up with in your journey back to good old USofA reality.<br />
Give the soaps a rest, Dearie! Loosen up with the Loose Change crowd. Spend some quality time with <a href="http://www.911truth.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.911truth.org</a> and your brain.<br />
     Synchronistically enough, this very day I ran across the article excerpted below. I call your attention especially to this quote from it:<br />
     &#8220;&#8230;.After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the &#8220;official story&#8221; put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false&#8230;.&#8221;<br />
     You should take great comfort in the fact that this truth-seeker, a former CIA official, was also bamboozled by the corporate media for five years.<br />
     Yours truly spent only about one and one-half years in the dark, probably mostly because I have not watched television since 1994, and because my reading and experiences had already made me skeptical of the government/media complex. Thus I was already more inclined to question government/media claims.<br />
     You seem to believe that it is the &#8220;far left&#8221; that is convincing people, but one of 9/11 truth-seekers&#8217; main frustrations is the EXTREME timidity, the church-mouse silence on the matter, of NEARLY ALL of the &#8220;left&#8221; &#8220;progressive&#8221; publications, pundits, websites, blogs, talk show hosts, etc. They have come to be called &#8220;the left gate-keepers.&#8221; Like the proverbial dog in the manger they not only neglect the vital information they have access to, but also keep it from everybody else. Fear is the main factor here: fear of losing their grants, being black-balled by colleagues and sources, being called &#8220;conspiracy theorists,&#8221; irresponsible, irrelevant, etc. And fear of being targeted for career and/or physical harassment or termination.  Actually some of the most courageous and eloquent 9/11 &#8220;detectives&#8221; are conservatives, like  Paul Craig Roberts, who was a high official in the Reagan administration, Wall Street Journal writer, etc.<br />
     Thus your &#8220;useful tool&#8221; hypothesis don&#8217;t hunt. </p>

<p> Another Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out for 9/11 Truth</p>
<p> Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11 </p>
<p>by Bill Christison<br />

<p>&#8230;.Let&#8217;s address the real issues here. Why is it important that we not let the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 be drowned out? After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the &#8220;official story&#8221; put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false. I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. The items below highlight the major questions surrounding 9/11 but do not constitute a detailed recounting of the evidence available&#8230;.  </p>
<p>&#8230;.This should be worked on at two different levels. At the first level, the objective should be long-term, centered on making a maximum effort to find out who the individuals and groups are that carried out the attacks in New York and Washington. Then, these people should be tried in an international court and, if possible, convicted and punished for causing so many deaths. Such a trial, accompanied by actual change in U.S. policies, would show that some people on this globe are at least trying to move closer to more just and decent behavior in human relationships around the world. </p>
<p>At the second level, the short term, the task should be to immediately set to work as hard as is humanly possible to defeat in this year&#8217;s congressional election any candidate who refuses to support a no-holds-barred investigation of 9/11 by the Congress or a high-level international court. No more evidence than is now available is needed in order to begin this process. </p>
<p>A manageable volume of carefully collected and analyzed evidence is already at hand on both items ONE and TWO above. Such evidence should be used right now to buttress charges that elements within the Bush administration, as well as possibly other groups foreign or domestic, were involved in a massive fraud against the American people, a fraud that has led to many thousands of deaths&#8230;. </p>

<p>CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN</p>
<p>[This is excerpted  from a seven-page transcript of a talk by John Perkins called "Confessions of an economic Hit Man" Given at South Hadley, MA, 11 January 2005, broadcast on ALTERNATIVE RADIO]</p>
<p>     John Perkins was a loan shark to developing countries. After a stint in the Peace Corps in Latin America, he went to work as an economic planner for an international consulting firm that was a front for the National Security Administration. His book, CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN is a bestseller.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>     What we&#8217;re going to talk about is the post-World War II history of the world as I see it. and that history is essentially the story of empire. During the period since World War II, we&#8217;ve managed to create the world&#8217;s first truly global empire, and it&#8217;s the only empire in history that&#8217;s ever been created primarily without the military. It&#8217;s been created through economics, through economic hit men.</p>
<p>     And it&#8217;s a very subtle empire: it&#8217;s an empire that many of us who live in that empire don&#8217;t realize is an empire. We wouldn&#8217;t even call it that. When you create an empire as the Romans did or the Persians or the Chinese or the conquistadores or the British Empire or the French or the Dutch Empires, through military, everybody knows you&#8217;re doing it, because all your young men, and sometimes women, are going off to fight in the wars. But when you create an empire through economics, it&#8217;s very possible to keep that pretty secret from most of the people, most of the time. Nonetheless, we&#8217;ve created an empire&#8230;.</p>
<p>     &#8230;.It was a change of consciousness. Civil movements are powerful. I think there are a few of you out there who may be familiar, I&#8217;ve written five other books before this one on indigenous people and shamanism. That was when I was doing the nonprofit work which was partly assuaging my guilt. I took bribes not to write this book back in the early 1990s and put most of the money in the nonprofit, which went to helping indigenous people in many of the countries that I had ripped off before. But what I&#8217;ve learned, I&#8217;ve worked with many, many indigenous countries around the world, the Bugis of Indonesia, the Bushmen, the Zulus, the people of the Asian Steppes, the Mayas, the Hopi, the Quechua, the Shuar, all of these people have prophecies. Every one of them that I know of has a prophecy that we are in a time of tremendous transition and a potential for great things to happen. I was with the Dalai Lama not long ago in Ladakh, and I just came back from Tibet a few months ago. And those prophecies are everywhere. I believe that we&#8217;re in a time when it&#8217;s been prophesied that this is the time for potential change, not that change will happen, but that the potential exists and we have to do it.</p>
<p>     And I believe what the indigenous people have always taught me throughout the years from many, many different cultures, that each one of us comes into this body at this time with a mission for a reason. And our schools often teach us to forget about that. But here we are now, at this very critical time. Each of you has come in here at this time for a reason with a mission, and you&#8217;re sitting in this room now for some reason. Something drew you here today. The idea of a confession of an economic hit man. I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re all Catholic priests waiting for someone to confess into your ear out there. What drew you here? Why are you here this time? I think you&#8217;re here because you&#8217;re ready to see us move to this next step. You&#8217;re ready to see us realize the dream of our founding fathers, you&#8217;re ready to see us create a world that we&#8217;re going to be proud of. </p>
<p>     I&#8217;m going to turn 60 in a couple of weeks. I have a 22-year-old daughter. I don&#8217;t know how much time I&#8217;ve got left on this planet, but I do know that I want to devote all of what I&#8217;ve got left to making this a better world for her and her generation than the one I would be leaving her if I were to leave right now. So here we&#8217;re poised at this amazing time in history, a time that&#8217;s been prophesied by all these cultures. Here you are sitting here in the wealthiest country that history has ever known, tremendous resources, tentacles that reach to the farthest corners of the planet, the ability to do remarkable things, to create the world that we all want to see created. And so I submit to you that it&#8217;s now time to get off our butts and let&#8217;s get out there and change this world. Thank you.<br />

In an interview with<br />
Brad Friedman (of BradBlog),<br />
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains that &#8220;the Republican<br />
Party, the Republican National Committee, has been<br />
using old-fashioned, Jim Crow, apartheid-type<br />
maneuvers to steal the last two national elections.&#8221;</p>
<p>    Bradblog: In summary, how optimistic or<br />
pessimistic are you about our ability to get our<br />
country back?</p>
<p>    RFK JR.: Well, you know, my attitude is that I<br />
don&#8217;t try to predict the future, I can only say that<br />
those of us who care about this country have to keep<br />
fighting, and whether you think you&#8217;re gonna win or<br />
lose, you gotta just keep slugging and you gotta be<br />
ready to die with your boots on, because that&#8217;s what<br />
our forefathers did, they started a revolution, and<br />
they put their fortunes and their lives at stake. And<br />
we need to summon the same kind of courage from our<br />
generation, and demand that kind of courage from our<br />
leadership.</p>
<p>    BB: And we have to get that message out to the<br />
Democratic leadership as well.</p>
<p>    RFK JR.: And that&#8217;s what you guys are doing&#8230;.<br />

		<description>What we really need is for Dem candidates to endorse the approach of the open letter, and hammer home with the public &quot;there is no crisis.&quot;  That&#039;s what keeps it from being an electoral hammer, and what sets the stage for a decent policy.  

Unfortunately, I&#039;m sure the WH is ready to whip up the crisis talk if Iran&#039;s response to the Security Council is anything less than abject.  Which of course it won&#039;t be; it wouldn&#039;t have been six weeks ago, but after the last month there&#039;s no way they&#039;ll be anything but defiant.</description>

		<description>The only press attention to the letter from the 21 is a LATimes article the day before the open letter.  Since its release Thursday,  it&#039;s sunk like a stone.  I hope it gets some discussion on the Sunday shows, but am not holding my breath.</description>

		<description>Not much coming from this very strange and unresponsive Bush governement can surprise me any longer.  But what i do find surprising is that so few members of the press seem willing to press this administration for explanations of the specious stuff they hand out as fact.

The parallels of the population of pre-war germany and the current US is strikingly similar.</description>
