ANNOUNCEMENTS & COMMENTARY

WHISTLEBLOWER EXPOSES CORRUPTION IN AIRLINE INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT
Our next conference call will be on Sunday, July 29, at 2 PM Pacific Time. It will feature author and whistleblower, Rodney Stich, who will provide electrifying testimony about corruption within the airline industry and also government agencies that are supposed to regulate that industry. As a retired airline captain and former investigator for the Federal Aviation Administration, Mr. Stich speaks from first-hand knowledge about government cover-ups of some of the worst airline disasters in history. He also will discuss the 911-Commission Report and tell how committee members ignored vital information that he and others submitted.

For information about Mr. Stich’s books, including photographs and free downloads of major segments dealing with disasters he has investigated, go to: http://www.unfriendlyskies.com/. His biography is at: http://www/defraudingamerica.com/author_bio.html.

Rodney will be interviewed by his long-time friend (and Freedom Force member) Rayelan Allan, founder of the robust Internet news service, Rumor Mill news, http://www.rumormillnews.com/.

VOLUNTEERS FOR PLACING VIDEO PROGRAMS ON THE INTERNET
In the May 17 Announcement, we called for volunteers to help us place video programs on the Internet. We were pleasantly surprised to receive numerous offers, and immediately began to organize our plan of action, but then life happened. There have been so many projects and deadlines sitting on my desk that this project simply became buried. So, I just want to let all of you who offered to help that we deeply appreciate your offer and we haven't forgotten you. Please bear with us a little longer as we try to dig out. The project is very important to us.

BUSH ISSUES DECREE TO BLOCK PROPERTY.
A SECOND CALL TO ACTION.
Last week, I issued an e-mail alert regarding an Executive Order signed on July 17 by President Bush that authorizes him to block the personal property of anyone in the United States who opposes his Middle East foreign policy. Read the document here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html. If this link does not work, here is a backup: http://www.freedom-force.org/newsarchive/EO_2007-07-17.mht.

The response was immediate, huge, and encouraging. However, not everyone was equally concerned, and they wrote to say that I had misunderstood the language and intent of the document. There were two primary objections. The first was that the Order was written to prevent acts of violence, not political dissent. The second was that it applies only to people and organizations whose names appear on a list attached to the Executive Order but not made public. Larry Becraft, nationally respected Constitutional attorney, said:

“I have no doubt that there was a list of the names of certain people attached to that EO that was not published. Bush provided the full document with the names of “the following persons” to certain members of Congress, but that list was not published for the public, nor was that list published in the Federal Register. … The EO clearly addresses foreign funds and property brought into this country and held either by foreigners or US persons. To contend that Americans holding their own property or having others hold that property (funds, financial instruments, etc), are going to have that property seized is a contention plainly outside the clear language of the EO. To assert that those protesting the war subjects those protesters to seizures is groundless.”

I am not convinced by this argument. A reading of the EO, itself, points to a contrary interpretation. It may be true that there was a list attached to the EO, but that does not mean the list cannot be expanded at any time. In describing whose property may be blocked, the document says:

“Any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, (i) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of: (A) threatening the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq; or (B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq.”

The phase “any person” completely negates the concept that this applies only to a few specifically named bad guys from the Middle East who happen to be in the U.S. If you think this EO applies only to those who have committed or intend to commit acts of violence, then read the words again: It applies to any person who poses “a significant risk of committing an act of violence.” Who would that be?

In case you haven’t noticed, the trend of all collectivist governments over the past few decades has been to embrace the principle of pre-emptive punishment. In other words, political scientists, working closely with government-funded psychiatrists, have created the myth that it is possible to determine who will commit crimes in the future. They can do this, they say, by studying everyone’s school records, voting records, reading habits, organizations they support, and a myriad of other metrics for personal preferences and beliefs. There is no doubt that tabulations of this kind can lead to valid statistical predictions, but they can never identify who will fall within the expectations and who will not. It is an affront to common sense and a travesty of justice to punish people for crimes they did not commit but which some social scientist says they probably will. This is a special horror when the cloak of science is used, not to reduce crime, but to single out political dissidents and then define their thoughts as criminal behavior. So, who poses “a significant risk of committing acts of violence?” Whoever the President adds to the list.

And so, I repeat what I said last week. This is about as serious as it gets. There have been many assaults on our freedom recently, but none with such totality and finality as this. We must draw the line in the sand on this issue. The American people must re-discover their indignation, get off their couches, and send a tsunami of protest to Washington.

There is no need to explain why this is important, and there is nothing that can be said that would be more motivating than the stark possibility of a police state in which citizens loose their property if they disagree with der Fuhrer (the Leader).

This is a second call to action.

1. Send your Congressman and Senators a short but explicit message to the effect that you expect them to (1) introduce or support fast-track legislation to rescind the Executive Order and (2) call for impeachment of the President NOW. Here is how to contact them: http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/candlist.asp?Sort=
S&Cong=110

2. Compile a list of every organization, publication, journalist, web site, talk-show host, and community leader who understands the significance of this Executive Order and send it to us at ge.griffin@verizon.net. The immediate goal is to build a communications hub for a national coalition of activists on this issue.

3. Send a copy of this message to everyone on that list and to everyone you know.

Drop everything else and do this NOW.

I apologize for not replying to most of you who have sent in comments and questions. It is impossible to personally correspond with thousands of people, but I will try to post the most critical issues on our web site and in future communiqués. Meanwhile, thank you for being in the Freedom Coalition.

NEW

PSYCHIATRY; AN INDUSTRY OF DEATH
Documents the history of psychiatry from its beginnings in the 18th Century as a fringe industry housing the disfigured and retarded souls of society to where it is now, a deeply corrupted marketing arm of the pharmaceutical companies. The goal is to make everyone dependent on psychotropic drugs supposedly to control mental disorders (such as ADD and Shyness Syndrome) that do not even exist. When psychiatry and totalitarian governments join forces, dissidents can be imprisoned, medicated, and given shock torture (called therapy) to “cure” their dissent. It will take a grass-roots awakening to dismantle this evil mechanism. Acquire this video, show it to your friends, and help create that awakening. (More)

SALT YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
A low-salt diet is good for you if you have high-blood pressure. WRONG! Says Dr. Brownstein. Here are the reasons for his view. He shows the errors that led early researchers to believe that low salt intake would reduce blood pressure and then presents studies showing a 400% increase in heart attacks among hypertension patients on a low-salt diet. He also shows the value of unrefined salt in combating Thyroid and Adrenal disorders. (More)

THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING
Here is the hard scientific proof that:
♦ The Earth has been hotter than it is now.
♦ Only a tiny portion of greenhouse gases are man-made.
♦ Most of Antarctica is getting colder.
♦ The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare.
♦ Global warming has not made hurricanes worse.
Here are the facts to counter the global warming junk science that is being used to scare people into accepting the expansion of government. (More)
