Chicago '68, Seattle '99, Denver '08
Dear Friends and Colleagues, The excerpt below from a piece at
<http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9478> reveals a
police tactic used frequently by US police--notably at the '68
Chicago "Democratic"
Convention and '99 Seattle anti-WTO protests.
In '68 plainclothes police infiltrated the protesters' first major
march and from it threw rocks through shop windows to provide a
pretext for their uniformed buddies to behave viciously. Evidently
there was a decision made in the back rooms at a federal level to
have a bloodbath so the average US voter's backbrain association
between "Democrats"and bloodbaths might enable Nixon to win. Indeed,
that's what happened. The bloodbath also was intimidating enough
to reverse the burgeoning momentum of the anti-war, New Left and
Yippie movements. It was part of a one-two punch which included
Kent State in '70.
The decision probably did not originate within the US military but
nevertheless the military was more influential in what happened
than were Mayor Daley and/or the Chicago police.
Much emphasis was placed on preventing protest leaders from
communicating with each other and with the press. We Yippies had
all checked into the same hotel but within a day or two without
even bothering to provide a pretext for doing so, they kicked all
but one of us out. I was sharing a room with the chap covering the
convention for the Toronto Star--but there was no concern about a
possible "international incident" as they forced both the Canadian
and me to vacate.
Next day I returned to the hotel because I had to see Ed Sanders,
the only one of us allowed to remain there. They wouldn't let me
go up to his room, so I took a seat in the lobby to wait for his
descent. Within a minute or two the door to the street swung open
and in came three or four little guys in single file, all wearing
the white-shirt-black-tie costume of the US Army Criminal Investigation
Division (and other military entities). The first one instantly
photo-recognized me and hesitated before deciding to keep going
rather than leave till I'd left. They walked over towards the
reception desk and then just behind it slipped a key into a door
which opened to show large spools turning on a wall: they were
taping Ed's calls.
This explained why before they kicked us out, it sometimes took
fifteen or twenty minutes to get a call through the hotel switchboard:
the switchboard wasn't overloaded by high volumes but the taping
gear was.
Additionally to thwart our communications they went to the trouble
of disabling all coin phones within a block or two of the hotel.
In order to understand the monumental extent of this bloodbath
(suppressed even by progressive historians like Howard Zinn) please
read David Lewis Stein's LIVING THE REVOLUTION, Bobbs-Merrill, '69.
The police even broke into the office of a major Presidential
candidate (Eugene McCarthy), ransacked it and, as I recall, they
also arrested people there and stole files.
The reason I go into this at this time is I believe it's rather
likely that a decision has already gone down in current back rooms
to have a bloodbath in Denver to benefit McCain. In which case,
all the corporate media footage of the protest scene at the
"Republican" convention will be kept Squeaky Clean.
The decisions made in US back rooms these days are so much more
vicious--for example, murdering nearly 3000 on September 11,
2001--that we must be prepared for the possibility that this time
the plainclothes cops infiltrating a Denver parade or rally won't
merely hurl rocks but in fact will pull out pistols and start
shooting at nearby uniformed cops while other plainclothes cops
ensure that the shooters escape into the crowd.
Yours for all species,

POLICE ATTACK ON BUSH DEMONSTRATION EXPOSED
The large number of photos and video clips we have received of the
June 15 demonstration (for a selection see www.stopwar.org.uk) show
beyond doubt that the police drastically and violently overreacted
to a peaceful protest. Even more worryingly a number of protestors
have identified at least one police officer in plain clothes actively
shouting abuse at the police and in the words of the Mail on Sunday
"apparently stirring up trouble". SEE http://tinyurl.com/68zrmr
Stop the War has complained to the police and the Home Secretary
and asked for detailed explanations of police behaviour on the day.
We will distribute information of further developments as they
arise. Any more photos or video clips of the day taken by participants
in the Bush protest would be gratefully received.

======================== VIDEO: Petition to Canadian Parliament:
"9/11 Commission Report Is a Fraudulent Document"
Global Research, July 20, 2008
Global Research Editor's Note:
This petition signed by some 500 Canadians was presented by the
Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), which is one of
Canada's main opposition parties in the House of Commons.
This presentation is of significance because it suggests that the
leadership of the NDP is sceptical of the official explanation
regarding 9/11 and is willing to debate the issue in the Canadian
House of Commons.
Canadian MP Libby Davies reads 9/11 petition in Parliament
The 911 Commission report is a fraudulent document. "Elements within
the US government were complicit in the murder of thousands of
people on 9/11/2001."
TEXT OF PETITION
New Democratic Party Deputy House Leader Libby Davies delivers a
Parliamentary Petition signed by over 500 Canadians demanding a new
9/11 investigation, in Canada's House of Commons during Routine
Proceedings at 1:10 pm on June 10, 2008
Here is the full text of the petition, available to sign at
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ca...
PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
We, the undersigned citizens of Canada draw the attention of the
House to the following:
THAT, scientific and eyewitness evidence shows that the 9/11
Commission Report is a fraudulent document and that those behind
the report are consciously or unconsciously guilty of covering up
what happened on 9/11/2001. This evidence overwhelmingly supports
the conclusion that World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7 were brought
down by demolition explosives and that the official theory of the
towers collapsing from the airplanes and the ensuing fires is
irrefutably false.
We further believe that elements within the US government were
complicit in the murder of thousands of people on 9/11/2001. This
event brought Canada into the so-called "War on Terror," it changed
our domestic and foreign policies for the worse, and it will continue
to have negative consequences for us all if we refuse to look at
the facts.
THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon Parliament to:
(1) Immediately launch its own investigation into the events of
9/11/2001 on behalf of the 24 Canadian citizens murdered in New
York City.
(2) Act lawfully on the findings of its own investigation by helping
to pursue the guilty parties in the international courts.

You won't see this repeated in U.S. media outlets, but Europe is
running scared of an impending financial disaster.
Barclays Capital, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Fortis are pulling
away from the U.S. financial markets. The withdrawal of funds from
New York institutions has not been reported, but amounts to at least
a mini-run on the banks involved, similar to what happened to Bear
Stearns in March; the run may be expanding.
These major financial institutions in Europe are predicting imminent,
major economic and market meltdowns.
Fortis expects a complete collapse of the US financial markets
within a few days to weeks. That explains, according to Fortis, the
series of interventions of last Thursday to retrieve 8 billion.
We have been saved just in time. The situation in the US is much
worse than we thought, says Fortis chairman Maurice Lippens. Fortis
expects bankruptcies amongst 6000 American banks which have a small
coverage currently. But also Citigroup, General Motors, there is
starting a complete meltdown in the US"
[Fortis made cash call in face of expected U.S. 'meltdown', CNBC
News [on-line], www.cnbc.com/id/25451427/for/cnbc, June 30, 2008.]
At the same time, the Royal Bank of Scotland headlined warnings of
a global crash:
The Royal Bank of Scotland has advised clients to brace for a
full-fledged crash in global stock and credit markets over the next
three months as inflation paralyses the major central banks.
A very nasty period is soon to be upon us - be prepared, said Bob
Janjuah, the banks credit strategist.
A report by the banks research team warns that the S&P 500 index
of Wall Street equities is likely to fall by more than 300 points
to around 1050 by September as all the chickens come home to roost
from the excesses of the global boom, with contagion spreading
across Europe and emerging markets.
The Fed is in panic mode. The massive credibility chasms down which
the Fed and maybe even the ECB will plummet when they fail to hike
rates in the face of higher inflation will combine to give us a big
sell-off in risky assets, he said. [RBS issues global stock and
credit crash alert, Telegraph, on-line edition, June 19, 2008.]
Lastly, Barclays Capital warned clients to "batten down the hatches
for a worldwide financial storm":
"Barclays Capital has advised clients to batten down the hatches
for a worldwide financial storm, warning that the US Federal Reserve
has allowed the inflation genie out of the bottle and let its
credibility fall below zero.
[Barclays warns of a financial storm as Federal Reserve's credibility
crumbles, Telegraph, on-line edition, June 28, 2008.]
On July 2, U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's European speech
was covered live on CSPAN. He gave considerable lip-service to what
would happen if a number of U.S. banks were to fail, including even
a major U.S. bank. No bank names were mentioned, but the fact that
he brought it up indicates that the Europeans are very concerned
about it.
