On July 19th, I again guest-hosted Amerikan Expose on the First Amendment Radio Network. Audio archives are posted below.

My guest for both hours of this broadcast was Roger Mundy, founder of the Kansas Tenth Amendment Society. Roger has been a grassroots freedom activist for many years and has much experience under his belt in educating and instructing state legislators. For those wishing to make a difference at stopping assaults of state and federal governments upon our freedoms, Roger offers a viable solution. In fact, it is probably the only real solution to preserving and reclaiming our freedoms.

Roger's website is not online at this time. That is why I didn't give it during the program. However, for anyone in Kansas who would like to network with Roger, contact me, and I will put you in touch with him.

My next broadcast date will be announced shortly, as I will be out of town on the day it would normally hit.

Following September 11th, before the war in Iraq, the American people were told that the people of Iraq had need of "liberation" from a brutal dictatorship — a mad dictator who gassed his own people. In addition, we were told that he possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a danger to the rest of the world as well as the Iraqi people.

A year and thousands of lost lives later, the evidence of how great a threat Saddam was, is murky at best. In an op-ed piece, for the New York Times, Stephen Pelletiere, former CIA senior political analyst on Iraq during that country's war with Iran, said:

"All we know for certain is that Kurds were bombarded with poison gas that day at Halabja. We cannot say with any certainty that Iraqi chemical weapons killed the Kurds. This is not the only distortion in the Halabja story ...

"...Immediately after the battle the United States Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report, which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds, not Iraqi gas...

"... The Iraqis, who are thought to have used mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at the time...

"... I am not trying to rehabilitate the character of Saddam Hussein. He has much to answer for in the area of human rights abuses. But accusing him of gassing his own people at Halabja as an act of genocide is not correct, because as far as the information we have goes, all of the cases where gas was used involved battles. These were tragedies of war. There may be justifications for invading Iraq, but Halabja is not one of them."

The Iraqi people have had their entire economic and social infrastructure shredded. The Iraqi people now face shortages of the basic essentials needed to sustain life. Essentials such as food, clean water, and electricity. Iraq is facing a very real prospect of a civil war. Turmoil abounds everywhere, and there is no apparent light at the end of the tunnel for the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, contrary to the assertions of Bush and his handlers that the Iraqi people would be "liberated" from an oppressive regime, the Iraqis have not been liberated. Rather, they are facing martial law, the disarmament of their weapons, and the revitalization of the formerly underground Iraqi Communist Party.

According to a WorldNetDaily* report, the Iraqi Communist Party is "strongly represented" in the new interim government of Iraq. The report states that "no group in Iraq was more vociferous in its celebration June 28 of the transition of power from the U.S.-led coalition than the ICP. Outside the party's office in Baghdad, a dancing cheering crowd waved red flags as sympathetic passing motorists sounded their horns".

They also state that prior to the U.S. invasion and subsequent overthrow of the Iraqi government, the Communist Party in Iraq was "being viciously hunted down" by Hussein.

Speaking in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 7, 2002, President Bush said:

"America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."

The "evidence" of which Bush spoke, was anything but clear. There was never any threat of a "mushroom cloud" from the Baghdad dictator. And though some sources say the CIA made efforts to plant them but were thwarted by the Army, there apparently were no weapons of mass destruction. In other words, the American people were led into the war based upon lies.

That fact isn't astonishing in light of the secret report that was prepared for Bush by his handlers, prior to the 2000 elections and a full year before September 11th. The report, entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses, was prepared for those who would serve in the administration and execute the plan. In the document (pdf format), the report targets several countries for "regime change".  Iraq was to be overthrown "even if Saddam should pass from the scene".  It said "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."

They were going to invade Iraq and seize control of that sovereign country — Saddam, or no Saddam!

This determination to go to war was also reflected in the comments of Bush's top security "advisor" Dr. Richard Perle, as quoted by the British paper The Mirror. On July 24, 2004, the paper ran an article headlined, WAR, WHATEVER - Bush aide: Inspections or not, we'll attack Iraq. The piece says:

"George Bush's top security adviser last night admitted the US would attack Iraq even if UN inspectors fail to find weapons.

"Dr. Richard Perle stunned MPs by insisting a 'clean bill of health' from UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix would not halt America's war machine.

"Evidence from one witness on Saddam Hussein's weapons programme will be enough to trigger a fresh military onslaught, he told an all-party meeting on global security.

"Former defence [sic] minister and Labour backbencher Peter Kilfoyle said: 'America is duping the world into believing it supports these inspections. President Bush intends to go to war even if inspectors find nothing ... Perle says the Americans would be satisfied with such claims even if no real evidence was produced.'" (Emphasis by D.W.)

In other words, any "one" person, making the allegation about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction, would be enough to put American and Iraqi lives on the line. As it turns out, one person did make the allegation. It was the president of the United States.

Many people believe that the war in Iraq is strictly about oil. The truth of the matter is that that sentiment is only partially correct.

Indeed, the global Communists do want to control the world's oil, but there is so much more to control. They want to control all of the Earth's resources. The air we breathe, the water we drink and use, the land and its minerals. They want it all — including "human resources". They consider each person of the world their property. This is where we get the term, "human capital".

Hussein, while he was most definately not a "good" guy, apparently wasn't going to take orders from them. In fact, he was "viciously" hunting them down. He wasn't going along with the Communist U.N. program for "sustainable development". Because of that, he had to go! And the people of Iraq had to be "liberated" by the United States.

Now, with Saddam out of the way, the Iraqi Communist Party is "strongly represented" in the new U.S.-formed government. And with the U.N. pulling the strings in the background, the Iraqis are fighting for what's left of their freedom. The erosion of their morality has begun, just as it is in full swing in the United States. Pornography, formerly prohibited by the regime, is flowing unhindered throughout the country. Hence, the demoralization process is under way, politically, morally, and spiritually.

If the risk of death from the daily violence weren't enough, the land is being contaminated with lethal levels of radiation from the weapons the United States military is using there. Despite being warned in July 2003 by two military DU weapons experts of the dangers of using DU weapons in Iraq, the U.S. has launched 940,000 depleted uranium shells in 110,000 air raids against Iraq, according to Frederick Sweet, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

DU weapons expert Dr Doug Rokke stated,

"Although DU munitions are an excellent weapon, they leave a path of death, illness, and environmental contamination. The radiological and chemical toxicity are due to uranium, plutonium, neptunium, and americium isotopes within each DU bullet. We also have all of the inherent contamination from the equipment, terrain, and facilities that were destroyed."

And the contamination is taking its toll on both Iraqi citizens as well as U.S. soldiers. Frida Berrigan writes:

"When a DU shell hits its target, it burns, losing anywhere from 40 percent to 70 percent of its mass and dispersing a fine toxic radioactive dust that can be carried long distances by winds or absorbed into the soil and groundwater. The U.S. Army and Air Force have fired 127 tons of DU munitions in Iraq in the last year, says Michael Kilpatrick, the Pentagon’s director of the Deployment Health Support Directorate.

"At the beginning of April—the deadliest month of the war and occupation so far—a New York Daily News investigation found that four National Guardsmen have been contaminated by radioactive dust.

"The men were part of the 442nd Military Police Company based in Orangeburg, New York, which went to Iraq last summer to guard convoys and prisons and train the new Iraqi police. While the whole company is due back in the United States by the end of April, a number of soldiers were sent home early, suffering from persistent headaches and fatigue, nausea and dizziness, joint pain and excessive urination."

She goes on to state that four of the men tested positive for high levels of DU in their systems.

"Asaf Durakovic, a physician and nuclear medicine expert with the Uranium Medical Research Center based in Washington, examined the GIs and performed the testing. The Daily News quoted him as saying: 'These are amazing results, especially since these soldiers were military police not exposed to the heat of battle. Other American soldiers who were in combat must have more depleted uranium exposures.'

"Second Platoon Sergeant Hector Vega tested positive for DU exposure. He is a 48-year-old retired postal worker from the Bronx and has served in the National Guard for 27 years. After being stationed in Iraq last year, he suffers from insomnia and constant headaches."

If the soldiers serving in the area are beginning to feel the effects, we can assume that the general population suffers as well. The environmental ramifications are devastating, and long lasting.

Yet the administration and the Pentagon continue to falsely state that the weapons are safe.

Professor Sweet summed it up this way:

"When this war ends, George Bush will have caused the poisoning of hundreds of thousands more humans than he said Saddam Hussein poisoned."

When it comes to the manipulation of populations of people, it is always the rich man's war, and the poor man's fight.

Thomas Jefferson once stated that "the care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government."

The atrocities that have been perpetrated upon both the Iraqis and U.S. soldiers stationed there, exemplifies the utter failure of that legitimacy.

* While I quoted from WorldNetDaily here, it is important to note that I do not endorse the publication nor its editors. It is my firm belief that they are a controlled opposition group. This belief is based upon many factors, including the slant of their coverage. For example, they never tell the truth about September 11th being a U.S. government operation, despite reams of insurmountable evidence that would lead any thinking individual to that conclusion.

A lot of people in the freedom movement are making a lot of noise about contingency plans to shut down the November elections in case of an alleged "terror attack".

I have to say that I seriously doubt that the elections will be shut down or postponed. I believe this to be another attempt by the ruling elite to scare the American people, once more. They seem to feed off our fears.

Keep this in mind: Did they warn us they were going to bomb the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City? Did they warn us that they were going to bomb and crash planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon and blame the Arabs so they could have the Pearl Harbor they needed to launch their world war?

After studying this issue, it seems to me that they never warn us when they are actually going to conduct an act of terrorism. They just do it, then blame CIA incompetence for their "failure" to prevent the action.

They want to keep us terrified.

So all of the warnings will keep a sounding, until the next "CIA blunder" causes bloodshed again. Maybe next time, it will be a nuclear event.

The point is that they are not going to warn us before they execute the deed. Therefore — at least this is my theory — anything significant and specific that they actually warn us about, probably won't really happen.

Never forget who are the real terrorists. They may point the finger at the Arabs, but there are three fingers pointing back at them.

— As I predicted, the 9/11 Commission report was a complete government whitewash. Anyone surprised?

By Darren Weeks

In the epic series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Jean Luke Piccard and his crew are aboard the starship, U.S.S. Enterprise. Their expressed purpose is to "explore strange new worlds, to seek out new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before".

The series paints a futuristic world in which mankind attempts to use technology for the betterment of all. The crew of The Enterprise do not work for their own gain. They draw no paycheck, nor have personal bank accounts. Rather, they work for the gain of the whole, equally — an idea which parallels the ideologies of every modern-day socialist.

They take their assignments from the United Federation of Planets, an entity that would be the next logical evolution of the United Nations. Even the logo for the organization resembles that of the U.N.'s.

In the show, there is a species of creatures known as the "Borg". The Borg are a diabolical group who are part biological, and part technological. They attempt to take over planets and populations by assimilating biological beings — humans and other species — into their collective conscious.

Once successfully assimilated, the individual is then integrated with technology and becomes a part of the Borg collective. The Borg are required to remain attached to a "grid" of collectivism, with each individual's mind being connected to that of the group. They are, therefore, incapable of individual thought or deed. If one member has an idea, it becomes the idea of the whole. The mind, will, and actions of the individual are made subordinate to that of the group, and its controllers. Thus, thoughts are hence controlled and dissention is impossible.

It seems that the science fictions of yesterday are quickly becoming the realities of today. And the technology that was portrayed in Star Trek and shows like it, is emerging before our eyes.

There is indeed a movement which is gaining momentum across the developed world — the merging of human beings with technology. One group that is at the forefront of the push is called the Extropy Institute.

This group of elite, rich "transhumanists" believe that mankind evolved, and must continue in that state of evolution. They think that it is up to mankind to evolve itself to the next level — a level they refer to as "posthuman". In order to accomplish this, they contend, man must integrate technology with the human body, therefore enabling him to surpass the limitations of the brain and other physical, biological organs.

The Extropy Institute describes what the term "transhuman" means to them. They say:

"A transhuman is a human in transition. We are transhuman to the extent that we seek to become posthuman and take action to prepare for a posthuman future. This involves learning about and making use of new technologies that can increase our capacities and life expectancy, questioning common assumptions, and transforming ourselves ready for the future, rising above outmoded human beliefs and behaviors."

And who gets to decide which human beliefs and behaviors are outmoded?

They continue by explaining what achieving their goal of being "posthuman" would mean:

"'Posthuman' is a term used by transhumanists to refer to what humans could become if we succeed in using technology to remove the limitations of the human condition. No one can be certain exactly what posthumans would be like (there may be many differing types, and they may continuing changing) but we can understand the term by contrasting it with 'human': Posthumans would be those who have overcome the biological, neurological, and psychological constraints built into humans by the evolutionary process. Posthumans would have a far greater ability to reconfigure and sculpt their physical form and function; they would have an expanded range of refined emotional responses, and would possess intellectual and perceptual abilities enhanced beyond the purely human range. Posthumans would not be subject to biological aging or degeneration. It would be unrealistic to expect posthumans to be 'perfect' by our standards. What we can reasonably say is that posthumans would have greater potential for good or bad, just as humans have greater potential than other primate species.

"Transhumanists believe that the best strategy for attaining posthumanity to be a combination of technology, personal responsibility, and determination, rather than looking for it through psychic contacts, or extraterrestrial or divine gift.

"Since 'posthuman' is characterized primarily by contrasting with the limitations of 'human' we can only speculate about the particular forms that posthumans might take. Posthumans may be partly or mostly biological in form although, by definition, they would have overcome most of the constraints of the genetic structure of homo sapiens. Many transhumanists find it highly plausible that posthumans would be partly or wholly postbiological ? the personalities of biological humans having been transferred 'into' (or gradually replaced by) more durable, modifiable, faster, and more powerful bodies and thinking hardware. Some of the disciplines that transhumanists currently expect to play a role in allowing us to become posthuman include genetic engineering, neural-computer integration, biomedicine and nanobiotechnology, regenerative medicine, and the cognitive sciences."

It isn't difficult to imagine how integrating technology with the human body could provide limitless possibilities for government to control and abuse the entire population. Already, we see plans for a microchip, to be placed under one's skin, being developed. If the extropists have their way, carrying cell phones could become unnecessary, as telepathy — again, portrayed as yesterday's science fiction — could become a reality.

But in today's world, sensors could be placed next to the brain, and could detect what a person was thinking, and relay it to the individual to whom it was meant to be transmitted. Of course, there would always be the probability that the wrong thoughts would be intercepted and dealt with by the "thought police".

Recently, it was revealed that President George W. Bush intends to unveil a new initiative to screen the entire population for mental illness. For what purpose — other than the cashing in of the pharmaceutical companies, with which Bush and his handlers are in bed — can there be for a such a sweeping initiative, if it isn't for the purpose of silencing the dissenters? And government experimentation with mind control, through the usage of drugs and other means, has been done exhaustively as far back as the 1960's, through Project MK-Ultra.

Integrating technology with the human body would bring mind control into a whole new realm.

Extropians, however, refuse to see the negative ramifications of their cries for convergence. Rather, their movement is one which is characterized by unmitigated enthusiasm and optimism. For them, the perils of government intrusion into our lives doesn't exist. Or if it does, it can only be for own good.

Take, for instance, one of the more influential Extropians. He is a man by the name of Robin Hanson. Hanson is a professor of economics at George Mason University, and has taught at Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology. Hanson also has ties to government. He has worked for NASA's Ames Research Center.

Perhaps Hanson is most known for his headline-grabbing work with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Prior to the beginning of combat operations in Iraq, DARPA gave a group of economists $1 million to develop a futures trading market for "predicting" terrorism and other events. Essentially, money could be made from accurate predictions.

Naturally, it wouldn't take a NASA rocket-scientist — or an economics professor working there — to see what a racket a terrorism futures market would be. Given the fact that it can be proven that much of today's terrorism is orchestrated by the very people who say they are fighting it — namely, those in government — a futures market would give the insiders a perfect opportunity to capitalize further on the deaths of innocent American citizens.

But this isn't the only "brilliant" idea with which Hanson has been associated.

For instance, on his personal website, Hanson suggested that the tax system of the "Entropians" — a pejorative for the uneducated, poor masses that are not a part of his elite — should be modified based upon the time spent making money and not just the amount of wages earned.

He believes the government should be able to spy on you about ten times a year to see if you are working. If you're not working at the times they make contact, then you will be categorized in a higher income tax bracket than if you had been working.

Forgetting the privacy issues raised by such a proposal for a moment, such an idea amounts to taxation of a person's leisure time. Under such a system, taking a vacation could become a thing of the past, as it would have the potential of throwing workers into a higher tax bracket.

The fact that Hanson could seriously make such a proposal, speaks volumes about who this man is, and the principles for which he and the Extropists stand.

There are other very prominent individuals who have jumped on board with the Extropist ideology. For instance, Larry Page, founder of the Google search engine promoted the idea of technology integration into the mind in an interview with C-Net.

"On the more exciting front, you can imagine your brain being augmented by Google. For example, you think about something and your cell phone could whisper the answer into your ear."

Andrew Orlowski of the Register, commenting on Page's idea said,

"The 'Internet' promised us so much when it was touted to us ten years ago. The world's body of knowledge would be at our fingertrips [sic]. Now we're being told that we need body modification to make it work. Ten years ago we thought that all we needed was an ISP. Now, all we need is a brain surgeon!"

And the brain surgeons are already on the job.

Cyberkinetics Incorporated, a company which bills itself as "a leader in the rapidly emerging field of brain computer interfaces", has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to implant chips beneath the skulls of paralyzed patients. According to the Associated Press, the intent of the experiment is to enable the patient "to command a computer to act – merely by thinking about the instructions they wish to send".

Naturally, the potential benefits of the technology are always touted by the controlled media to condition the public toward acceptance. In this case, Americans are told that the brain implants are "to improve the quality of life for victims of strokes and debilitating diseases like Cerebral Palsy or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

It may be for those purposes now, but it won't be tomorrow.

As technology continues to evolve, so does the means of misusing it by those in high positions of power. The implantable microchip could reduce credit card theft, but would make every financial transaction traceable. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is already being promoted as a way to keep your children safe at amusement parks, the obvious end of which, is to keep all of us "safe" from each other.

The Pentagon has long been researching ways to build the perfect soldier. One who can survive without sleep, endure long periods without water, etc. Much experimentation is being done in the area of robotics. Yet machines have creative and logical reasoning limitations. Human minds possess the capacity for innovation and reason, which is a formidable programming challenge for software engineers.

By combining biological and technological means, hopes are high that the perfect person can be built, which can outperform, outlast, outwit, and outlive any biological being, lacking technological enhancement.

But at what point do we cease to be human? When do we cross the threshold from humanity to "post-humanity"? When does the soul forsake the body, which has become a sophisticated labyrinth of wires, circuitry, and processors? Will future generations be marked by the spawning of souless zombies, efficient in their assigned duties, but incapable of independent thought or revolutionary ideas? Will the personality of an individual consist of a deviation in the placement of a series of ones and zeros?

In the society of their making, where would be the beauty of a genuine smile? Laughter, and for that matter all emotions, might only be a sub-routine to be run at the appropriate moment, and only if an engineer's criteria are met. Spontaneity would give way to strict order. And revolution to adherence to the rule of law.

Alas, we cannot all share the Extropy enthusiasm.
