FYI from BATR

The new book is called Welcome to Terrorland, about Mohammad Atta and the 911 cover up in Florida.

Readers of SARTRE's Breaking All the Rules have already been exposed to such interesting Persian and Iranian sites as the Amir Abbas and Fereydoun Hoveyda site, the web offerings of human and political rights organization Marze Por Gohar, Farrokh Ashtiani's marvelous Persian Gardens presentation, the inveterate site for Iranian women called Iran Dokht, and the stellar English language news offerings of Iran Press Service.

Now to the mix of informative Persian and Iranian web sites comes Persian Mirror. It sports information on Persian weddings, culture, cuisine and community for the initiated and the uninitiated alike, along with the Web's largest Persian Business Directory of over 14,000 listings.

These sites are all worth regular visitation for American paleo-cons interested in Persian and Iranian culture, history, and political lore and can be accessed on Mark Dankof's America Link page at: www.MarkDankof.com/links.htm

Politicians always struggle for power and once they are in government they are tenacious in holding on to it. But those who put them there are those who really have the power and exercise it at will, because they own and control the financial resources. These people are commonly known as the bankers, the financiers, the powerbrokers, or if you like, the plutocrats.

Since 9/11, Federal Spending Under Bush Increases at Fastest Rate in 30 Years


Since 2001, even with record low inflation, U.S. federal spending has increased by a massive 28.8% (19.7% in real dollars)­with non-defense discretionary growth of 35.7% (25.3% in real dollars)­the highest rate of federal government growth since the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. This increase has resulted in the largest budget deficits in U.S. history, over $520 billion in fiscal year 2004 alone. Furthermore, the projected spending for 2005 is a conservative estimate, since it doesn’t include at least $50 billion for the ongoing cost of the Iraq occupation.

I have never painted a cynical view of the world. I wrote a book called Heroes, which pays tribute to the struggles of ordinary people all over the world. You confuse the majority of people with those in power. Too often journalists believe being cynical about their readers and viewers ordains them as journalists. It doesn’t; they should redirect their scepticism to the powerful, instead of courting them; for it is they who are truly cynical.

Margalit and Buruma promise to deliver a deeper insight into the hearts and minds of people varying from Hezbollah leader Nasrallah to al-Qaida’s Bin Laden, by illustrating their feeble theory with Chinese revolutionaries, Japanese imperialists, Nazis, romanticists and God. However, in their attempt to ground occidentalism historically, the authors end up shoving animosity towards the West under a make-shift rubric of pathological hatred. Consequently, Occidentalism is not just a disappointing academic exercise but also an all too useful political tool.

Michael Peroutka accepted the nomination of the Constitution Party for the Presidency of the United States in Valley Forge on June 25th. Aired on C-SPAN, his speech text is worth reading and pondering.

"The Constitution Party evolved from a revolt against the liberal shift in the Republican Party. It was originally called the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The name gradually evolved into the Constitution Party as members of other third parties joined it. The media will try to make an issue out of the Constitution Party’s strong Christian values. Its platform preamble states: "that the foundation of our political position and moving principle of our political activity is our full submission and unshakable faith in our Savior and Redeemer, our Lord Jesus Christ." Although this statement would have been acceptable to the Founding Fathers, media pundits will claim that it excludes other religions and therefore is detrimental to multiculturalism. Certainly, Constitution Party leaders should make it clear that citizens of all faiths as well as non-believers are welcome as members.

"If we could persuade the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party to negotiate their differences and merge into one party, we would have a force to be reckoned with. But we can’t really expect that to happen, because although they share many similar views, the positions they differ on do not appear negotiable, i.e., free trade and immigration. So we must choose one or the other, slap its bumper sticker on our car and make our support known to the community."

This whole thing REEKS of CIA Psy Ops. Remember also that they do NOT want you to have any association with me because of my training and background, and because they view me as "rogue operative", a loose cannon who has already done too much damage to them.

Two years ago I was on a faculty committee to choose the one book that incoming freshmen would be asked to read and discuss in discussion groups during freshman orientation. . . . The most passionate debates centered over two books that were favored by several members of the committee and which, it turns out, have become almost cult classics among the academic left. These are Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the American Meal, by Eric Schlosser and Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. Both are New York Times bestsellers and both are shockingly ignorant of the most elementary level of economic logic.

New booklet aims to enlighten mainstream readers about the biggest
deception in American history.

Michael Peroutka's Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech and ex-Congressman Bob Barr's (R-GA) keynote address on the death of the 4th Amendment are simply two of the reasons to tune in to the Constitution Party National Convention this weekend, coming from the Valley Forge Convention Center.

[O]ur much-vaunted and ballyhooed government, when it really mattered, on the worst day in American history, blew it; stunk up the joint. Worse yet, it actively generated the conditions that gave rise to the attack! And it responded to the attack by means that will increase terrorism in the future.

The Bush Administration is using the military invasion and occupation of Iraq to advance a corporate globalization agenda that is illegal under international law, has not been chosen by the Iraqi people and may ultimately prove to be even more devastating than twelve years of economic sanctions, two U.S.-led wars and one occupation. The Administration's ultimate goal is to take the agenda to the entire region.

Deep within the bowels of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Department and the US intelligence community a plan was devised.

Revisionism is an historical discipline made necessary by the fact that all States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society. Since its rule is exploitative and parasitic, the State must purchase the alliance of a group of "Court Intellectuals," whose task is to bamboozle the public into accepting and celebrating the rule of its particular State.

"It is memorable television which will give the public a different insight into the President's character. It will leave them wondering whether he is as contrite as he says he is about past events. Dimbleby manages to remain calm and order is eventually restored."

Reuters News Agency reports what readers of FYI from BATR already know---that anger with George W. Bush among conservatives may well translate into electoral support for Michael Peroutka of the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party in the first Tuesday in November.

Re: Your Powell interview

When he says “If he’d ever been freed from international inspection” he would have done terrible things, Powell is either totally ignorant of the fact that Saddam could NEVER have been freed from international inspections or he is now prepared to out-and-out prevaricate. In either case, it is clear to me that my confidence in Powell’s integrity has now dissolved.

The Constitution Party will field Jim Clymer in the U. S. Senate race in Pennsylvania in the fall. It will be a golden opportunity for enraged Pat Toomey fans to repay Planned Parenthood shill, Arlen Specter, back in spades in the first Tuesday in November---along with King Dubya. Clymer will also have the assistance of the top of his own ticket in Michael Peroutka, the Constitution Party's presumptive Presidential nominee, who has already qualified for 16 more state ballots in the fall than Ralph Nader.

Ultimately, only a culture that values families and encourages childbearing, and only individuals who believe these are not only worthwhile but essential pursuits, can correct the demographic decline we are about to enter.

June 8, 2004

Dear Friends of our Constitutional Republic:

On February 11, 2004, the Selective Service Agency's Director, Lewis Brodsky, issued this statement to the Pentagon:

In line with today's needs, the Selective Service System's structure, programs and activities should be re-engineered toward maintaining a national inventory of American men and, for the first time, women, ages 18 through 34, with an added focus on identifying individuals with critical skills. Seattle Post Intelligencer, May 1, 2004.

Will the draft be reinstated, we do not yet know, but I do know that men, and women (who by nature are not eligible for military service, even if called), are not "inventory" to be held at the disposal of the federal government.

There are many people, from many points of view, who oppose the draft, so I will take this occasion to demonstrate to you why I oppose conscription of men for foreign wars. I am running for President of these United States on the Constitution Party ticket, so I ought to start with the Constitution in demonstrating my opinions.

In Article I, s.8, cc.12, 15, the States gave to the general government's Congress the power "To raise and support Armies" and "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Unions, suppress Insurrections and repel invasions." There is a difference between these two powers. A militia was, at the time of the founding, involuntary. They were state citizens "drafted" to protect the State. Such militiamen were mostly kept near home, but were most certainly kept with other militiamen from their area. An army was volunteer, and consisted of citizens of the several states.

Now, whether a draft to the service of the State is sound policy is not my call, Constitutionally, but I can recognize that drafted soldiers would only come under my direction as Chief Executive for three limited purposes: 1. to execute the Laws of the Union; 2. to suppress Insurrections; and 3. to repel Invasions. No where in the Constitution is the Congress given authorization to draft men into foreign service, and thus I may use no such man for that purpose---my oath is to the Constitution, not the Congress.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for a strong American military to help me protect and defend the Constitution and these United States, but I will use our military only for Constitutional aims, namely to repel the invasion at our Southern Border and to execute the constitutional Laws of the Union. I will not, however, violate the Constitution and the Law of God by permitting the use of drafted men to achieve the imperialistic goal of Pax Americana.

As Samuel warned sinful Israel when they begged for a "King ... like all the nations," "This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen." A Godly ruler is not to amass military might to himself, lest he see his forces and itch to use them. See Deut. 17:16. It is not sound Constitutional policy, and it is not Christian, to view people as mere inventory to be expended at the whimsical fancy of the Chief Executive Officer of these United States.



For God, Family and the Republic,

Meet Me In Valley Forge!! by Chuck Baldwin

I would like to devote this column to inviting my readers to join me in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Thursday-Saturday, June 23-26, for the Constitution Party National Convention. During this convention, Michael Peroutka and I will be nominated as the Party's Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates for this year's election. It would be a huge honor for me to have readers of this column present for this historic occasion.

The setting of this convention, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, could not be more appropriate. As you know, it was here that General George Washington and his brave but battered men were forced to endure some of the most unimaginable hardships ever recorded in the annals of human history. By any standard, the odds of their success were miniscule. They had to endure the most inclement weather possible, fatigue, frostbite, starvation, and scores of other obstacles.

In spite of awful adversities, General Washington was able to keep his army intact. Had they not survived that awful winter in 1777 at Valley Forge, America would not be a free and independent nation today. Valley Forge, perhaps more than any other, is the symbol of America's resolve in our struggle for freedom.

Now, by the Providence of God, it will be Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, that will once again mark the beginning of another impossible task, another fight against all odds: the battle to restore America to its founding principles. And just as with General Washington and his beleaguered but stouthearted soldiers, it is a battle we fully intend to win!

However, just as in Colonial America some two hundred years ago, we need soldiers to answer the call to battle today. That bell for freedom is ringing in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on June 23- 26, 2004. Will you join us?

The accommodations in Valley Forge are exceedingly more comfortable than they were for General Washington's Continental Army. In fact, the accommodations and atmosphere of this convention are nothing short of spectacular! It will be the experience of a lifetime.

Perhaps you have never been to Valley Forge or to the numerous other historic sites nearby such as Gettysburg or the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Why not take a little vacation and visit these wonderful, historic places? There will be several guided tours to selected historic sites near Valley Forge throughout the week. Activities for children are also planned. In short, everyone in the family will find something special to do.

Let me also point out that you do NOT have to be a member of the Constitution Party to attend this convention. If you are a patriotic American who believes our country is heading in the wrong direction and desperately needs to return to our founding principles, you will feel right at home. Only Party delegates will be able to actually participate in the voting process, of course, but anyone and everyone may attend the meetings.

There are several very special speakers scheduled to appear. You can read about the speakers, schedule of events, location, directions, accommodations, reservations, etc., by going to the Constitution Party web site at http://www.constitutionparty.com.

I believe that this is one of those rare occasions that has the potential to set in motion the forces that can change the course and destiny of a nation. I pray that is exactly what will happen. It would also be great to personally meet many of you who faithfully read these columns.

Please prayerfully consider taking a trip to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on June 23-26, 2004. And when you come, be sure to introduce yourself to me. I would love to meet you.

TheMemoryHole.org, an independent site dedicated to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find or is not widely known, has apparently been deemed off-limits to U.S. military personnel...

Dixie Daily News, statistically the nation's leading Southern heritage website, has taken the leap of faith. Editor Ron Holland announced today that the Bush-led GOP is worth Naderizing with a vote for Michael Peroutka and the Constitution Party in the fall election.

"The wise and loving marriage of modern invention with the sustaining, nurturing food folkways of our ancestors is the partnership that will transform the Twenty-First Century into the Golden Age; divorce hastens the physical degeneration of the human race, cheats mankind of his limitless potential, destroys his will and condemns him to the role of undercitizen in a totalitarian world order."

I mean, there's a poll that 32 percent of the Iraqi people support this Muqtada Sadr, the Shiite cleric rebel we wanted to execute just a couple months ago. Now we want to negotiate with him. If that reflects the actual (opinion in Iraq), then that means 32 percent; that means the rebellion is growing, and the people who oppose the United States occupation are becoming more radicalized.
