=> Osama Bin Ladin Speaks to American Infidels …!

Let the whole world know that we shall never accept that the tragedy of Andalusia would be
repeated in Palestine.  We cannot accept that Palestine will become Jewish.

And with regard to you, Muslims, this is the day of question. This is a new (inaudible)
against you, all against the Muslims and Medina.  So be like the followers of the prophet,
peace be upon him, and all countrymen, lovers of God and the prophet within, and a new
battle, great battle, similar to the great battles of Islam, like the conqueror of
Jerusalem.  So, hurry up to the dignity of life and the eternity of death.

Thanks to God, he who God guides will never lose.  And I believe that there’s only one
God.  And I declare I believe there’s no prophet but Hammed (ph).

This is America, God has sent one of the attacks by God and has attacked one of its best
buildings.  And this is America filled with fear from the north, south, east and west,
thank God.

And what America is facing today is something very little of what we have tasted for
decades.  Our nation, since nearly 80 years is tasting this humility.  Sons are killed,
and nobody answers the call.

And when God has guided a bunch of Muslims to be at the forefront and destroyed America, a
big destruction, I wish God would lift their position.

And when those people have defended and retaliated to what their brothers and sisters have
suffered in Palestine and Lebanon, the whole world has been shouting.

And there are civilians, innocent children being killed every day in Iraq without any
guilt, and we never hear anybody. We never hear any (inaudible) from the clergymen of the
government (ph).

And every day we see the Israeli tanks going to Jenin, Ramallah, Beit Jalla and other
lands of Islam.  And, no, we never hear anybody objecting to that.

So when the swords came after eight years to America, then the whole world has been crying
for those criminals who attacked.  This is the least which could be said about them.  They
are people.  They supported the murder against the victim, so God has given them back what
they deserve.

I say the matter is very clear, so every Muslim after this, and after the officials in
America, starting with the head of the infidels, Bush.  And they came out with their men
and equipment and they even encouraged even countries claiming to be Muslims against us.
So, we run with our religion.  They came out to fight Islam with the name of fighting
terrorism.

People – event of the world – in Japan, hundreds of thousands of people got killed.  This
is not a war crime.  Or in Iraq, what our – who are being killed in Iraq.  This is not a
crime.  And those, when they were attacked in my Nairobi, and Dar Es Salaam, Afghanistan,
and Sudan were attacked.

I say these events have split the whole world into two camps: the camp of belief and the
disbelief.  So every Muslim shall take — shall support his religion.

And now with the winds of change has blown up now, has come to the Arabian Peninsula.

And to America, I stay to it and to its people this:  I swear by God the Great, America
will never dream nor those who live in America will never taste security and safety unless
we feel security and safety in our land and in Palestine.

UNITED STATES: 'Stop war and end racism'

—–BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE—–
Hash: SHA1

BY MALIK MIAH

SAN FRANCISCO – Some 5000-7000 people rallied here on September 29 to
protest the US war drive in response to the September 11 terror
attack that levelled the World Trade Center in New York City and
badly damaged the Pentagon.

Demonstrators expressed great pain for the loss of lives caused by
the tragic events but also warned against taking revenge on civilians
in other countries. Pakistani writer Zulfikhar Ahmad told the rally:
"I am very afraid that there is a very big tragedy in the making and
it will be the biggest dishonour to the memory of 6000 innocent
people who have died."

The rally and speakers included a multi-generational mix of the Bay
Area. There were high school and college students, children, airline
workers, immigrants, service workers and artists and musicians. There
were immigrants from the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.

Some demonstrators had marched against the Vietnam War. Others
rallied against the Persian Gulf War. Many became active against
globalisation after the Seattle protests. For others this was their
first peace rally.

Groups protesting the annual meeting of the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund initiated the rallies. After the meetings
were called off after the September 11 attacks, many liberal groups
pulled out.

With polls supporting Bush’s war drive running over 90% and
conservatives and liberals attempting to stifle all criticism of the
government under the slogan of "national unity" being waged by
supporters of revenge, the size of the rallies and lack of
counter-demonstrations was significant.

I heard only one loud supporter of the Bush war campaign shout at the
marches as we went through the Mission District to show solidarity
with Arab store owners who have faced harassment and violence. One of
the demands of the protests was to defend the civil rights of Arab,
Muslim and South Asian communities.

A teach-in is planned for October 13 and another rally on October 20.

Christian Churches fire-bombed in Sydney

Channel 10 news, Sydney,  have just shown video of the fire-bombing of
half a dozen churches in the south-western Sydney area which has a high
Arabic population.

Read paint messages such as ‘Long Live bin Laden’ and ‘Kill All
Christians and Jews’ were painted on some of the buildings.

Last week when there was fear that mosques in the area would be targeted
police were rushed in to provide guards for them.  Will police now be
provided for the churches? Or is that protection only provided to
noisy minorities?

A quick note about Anthrax

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/anthrax.html

A quick note about Anthrax
In the effort by the American media to keep the American people in such a
high state of terror that they cannot objectivily think about what is going
on, the threat of another terror attack using Anthrax is being constantly
waved about the TV screens, indeed has been a staple of media fear-
mongering for some years now.

But contrary to the popular myth, Anthrax is not a good terror weapon at
all. It was developed by the United States (which still holds the world’s
largest stockpiles of weapons-grade Anthrax) as a battlefield weapon,
because there is no possability of runaway infection.

Anthrax has no secondary communicability. People who have the desease
cannot give it to others around them. One must be directly exposed to the
spores to get the desease. This makes Anthrax a great weapon to use to
cripple an opposing army, because ONLY that army thus sprayed will get sick
(tying up additional logistical and medical resources to keep them from
dying). To use Anthrax effectively requires large numbers of delivery
systems, something a terrorist would not have available.

Real bio-terror (as opposed to a staged fake incident) requires a pathogen
with a high secondary communicability, so that a target group infected with
it proceeds to infect more people around them, spreading the desease
without additional effort on the part of the terrorists.

Therefore, Anthrax is a poor choce for real terrorists to use, but a grat
choice for someone planning to stage a phony terror event.

One more point; our armed forces have been given mandatory immuniizations
against Anthrax. Given that there are dozens of alternative pathogens which
coukd be used by terrorists, I wonder how our government is so certain
which one will be used. And won’t it be lucky when the terrorists use the
one infectious agent for which our military is already immune?

Historical quotes

" Great military peoples have conquered their known world time and time
again through the centuries, only to die out in the inevitable ashes of
their fire. Well over two thousand years ago, the Chinese philospher,
Laotzu, concluded that:
"Weapons often turn upon the wielder,
An army’s harvest is a waste of thorns."

We may have to resort to arms in the future, as we have in the past. We may
have to use them to prevent atomic war from being launched against us. But
let us have the wisdom to realize that the use of force is a sign of
weakness on a higher plane, and that a policy based primarily on recourse
to arms will sooner or later fail." — Charles Lindburgh, Of Flight and
Life, 1948

—————————————————————————

"Today American’s would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if
they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or
promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all
peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from
this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for
the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world
government."

Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country
who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people

"America the Beautiful"

Let’s say the Average American makes a family income of $25,000.  Let’s say
that it costs around $400 for rent,  $400 for food,  $200 for utilities,
$200 for cable, water, phone etc.,  $300 for car and ins.,  That is $18,000.
If payroll tax is around $1,500 and FICA is $2,000,  state and local are
about $500.  Then you have about $60 a week for entertainment or anything
else.  If you make $30,000  your bills are the same and your tax is $2,250
and FICA is $2,400,  state and local are $600.  So you then have about $130
per week for everything else.  At $50,000 you have tax of around $6,500,
FICA of $4,000 state and local tax of around$1,500 that leaves you with
around $400 per week for other things.

When you go to a flat tax you would be increasing the burden on the first
two income levels and decreasing it on the $50,000 earner.  It is better to
have the lower tax on the ones near the bottom to make it easier to live,
and also easier to make their way up the ladder if possible.  So what is
wrong with the above?  And if there were a tax on income over $250,000 of
50% instead of 39.6%,  what would be the problem there?  And income over $5
million could be at 60% while the income over $10 million could be at 70%.
Those rates are only on the amount over that number.  This type of taxation
that we had prior to Reagan,  kept people from being so greedy.  If you
already make $10 million you may not be trying to beat someone out of a few
bucks that is lower on the income level.  If this is also applied to
business,  it gives the small business a better playing field without
concern as much about monopolies.  Businesses have to plan for the long term
instead of just one year to make it all.  This means that they have to take
better care with their employees and their communities.  So what is the
problem with that.  That is what made America great.
