The CIA's Family Jewels [that obscene (ref. to testicles), double entendre term "Family Jewels" reminiscent of both the Romanovs and cloning/Nazi SS "Lebensborn" breeding program/MengeleI heard CIA director (at the time) Richard Helms say this phrase while smirking in an interview to a femlae TV reporter in the early 1970s, in which she asked him about CIA possible responsibility for assassinations such as JFK and the "plane accident" of UN secretary general Dag Hammerskjold (he denied both of course)]:

Yeah right, dumbsh*t -- a non-existent program investigated by Congress more than 50 years ago:
Project MKULTRA From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects.[1][2][3] The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.
Project MK-ULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MK-ULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.[4]
Although the CIA insists that MK-ULTRA-type experiments have been abandoned, 14-year CIA veteran Victor Marchetti has stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducts disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MK-ULTRA was abandoned a "cover story."

I've already posted on another pin about the Virginia Tech/MK Ultra connection.
Read (if you know how to) "The Men Who Stare at Goats". Don't just see the Hollywood Whitewash that comes out today! Read the book about how Olsen was pushed out the Statler Hotel window in NYC. He didn't jump. He worked for MK Ultra and was about to talk.
The Monroe Institute (Joe McMoneagle & Skip Atw*ter) have already distanced themselves from the book/movie. They did so politely, but, did so nonetheless.
Skip, Thou protesteth too much. Or are you just worried that you will not get so many enrollees?
Actually, NOW it will be great for business. Heh, you Christian Patriots, get a lazy man's job where you can lie down on the job, close your eyes, and be a hero. Spy on the Islamic Terrorists. But, please close your eyes to the Cole, 911, Virginia Tech, and now Ft. Hood. No honest remote viewers welcome. Please sign up with Lynn Buchanan, Ed Dames, and John Alexander.

A former room-mate of mine's uncle was also a victim - his brain was pretty much fried. It's been very well-documented - outside of 'tinfoil hat' circles. Some conspiracies ARE real. Look up Tuskeegee as well for actual nasty sh*t that governments do. And this is just the stuff that gets admitted to.

From the Paul Is Dead Miss Him Miss Him Miss Him forum: only1rad.proboards62.com/index.cgi?board=tptb&action=display&thread=409 Re: Pre-9/11 Inside Job Movie Signals ?Reply #22 Today at 3:35am ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One key to the 9/11-collaboration of the Simpsons writers is the heavy presence of Harvard Lamthingy alums on the show staff. A little web/library reseach on the HL connections is very revealing. The writer-producers from the HL on staff from the 1995-1997 seasons with the known 9-11 clue/signal episodes: David X. Cohen, name changed from David S. (Samuel) Cohen Bill Oakley Josh Weinstein (wrote for the Harvard Lamthingy as an honorary member while at Stanford, and is Oakley's writing partner) Dan McGrath Steve Tompkins Daniel Greaney Rachel Pulido Oakley (Bill Oakley's wife) Richard Appel The Harvard Lamthingy functions like a semi-secret society on the Harvard College campus, with its own week-long hazing rituals, multi-million dollar trust fund, and huge, impressive building nearly 100 years old, modeled after a medieval castle. Also an internal hierarchy with elected president, VP, officers etc. and internal secrets and documents (e.g. some known only to the president and VP, not the lower ranked members). Membership is only open to Harvard undergraduates and writing/art contributions are allowed only from members (elected by the staff) or honorary members. Just your average, all-american college humor magazine. Also a conduit for the CIA. Billy Kimball, another Harvard Lamthingy alum, is older than the above Simpsons staffers, they all graduated in the Harvard classes of 1987-89. He graduated in the early 1980s. From what I can tell he's acted as a sort of ringleader for this late 80s group, getting them started as a group on an early comedy network comedic game show called "The Clash." Kimball was a sucessful TV comedy writer himself, and collaborator with Al Franken. Franken is a Harvard grad, but did not win election to the Lamthingy while there(though he tried and got blackballed). Kimball also directed some operations of A.I.D., Agency for International Development in Ukraine in the 1990s, well known as a CIA front group. Randi Rhodes, the brash, former show host on Franken's liberal Air America radio network, once complained on air of CIA infiltration of the AA network, repeating what Franken said in response to the question "wasn't Air America airlines (in the Vietnam War) CIA?" "So are we (also CIA)" ---Franken's "kidding on the square" as he calls it. Rhodes was fired from AA this year. Kimball was a board executive of Franken's Air America and occasional on-air guest and guest host, until recently. Kimball wrote and co-produced The Simpsons for the 2006-2007 season. These details come from just skimming the surface of what you can find online; needs much more research. But as for the 9/11 complicity of those horrifying episode pre-signals, the following path is becoming obvious: Harvard Lamthingy) --> CIA --> 9/11 inside job collusion. Note: there are two people named Josh Weinstein who were TV comedy writers in the 1990s. One wrote for Mystery Science Theater 3000 but not The Simpsons. Let's be sure not to confuse the two. Confessions of a Dangerous MindIn his "unauthorized autobiography" Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, originally published in 1984, [Chuck] Barris claimed to have worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as an assassin in the 1960s and the 1970s. In interviews, when asked about whether he was really a CIA operative, he tends neither to confirm nor deny it. In 2002, a film adaptation of the book was made. Directed by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind depicted Barris as being responsible for 33 killings. In 2004, Barris wrote a sequel to the book called Bad Grass Never Dies.[1] The CIA has denied claims that Barris ever worked for them, in any capacity. The agency remained silent for many years regarding Barris' claims to be a hit man, but after the release of the movie, CIA spokesman Paul Nowack said of Barris' assertions that he did wet work for the spy agency, "It's ridiculous. It's absolutely not true."[3] [edit] Family Barris married Lyn Levy, niece of one of the founders of CBS, which caused her family to disinherit her.[citation needed] His 1974 novel, You and Me, Babe, is loosely based on this marriage. Their daughter Della Barris, who often appeared on The Gong Show, died of a drug overdose in 1998 at age 35.[1] He married twice more, to "Red" Robin Altman, and later to Mary Barris. His uncle was singer/songwriter/actor Harry Barris. He now lives outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.

Songs with an asterisk (*) are songs not composed by Barris, yet featured on the recordings: Too Rich / I Know A Child (Capital Records) Baja California / *Donnie (Dot Records) Why Me Oh Lord / Sometimes It Just Doesn't Pay To Get Up (MCA Records) Barris also composed the following songs (with performer, who performed the music first, listed on each).

Notice that the Ft Hood shooting there were 13 victims who were killed. IF this doesn't have Illuminati fingerprints on them...nothing does. Numbers are very important to these occultists and 13 stood out like a sore thumb to me. Also thinking about VA Tech connection with this mind control slave, to the shootings that took place there as well as the much publicized VA TEch student who went to a MEtallica concert and went missing afterwards.
Coincidence? I think NOT.

my-retrospace.blogspot.com/2008/09/ventriloquist-and-jfk-assassination.htmlSaturday, September 13, 2008 The Ventriloquist and the JFK Assassination The Beverly Massegee LP has become something of an all-star in the world of bad albums. You can listen to a sound clip from it at bizarrerecords.com and read about it in the book Horrifically Bad Album Covers, which I own and love. The biggest oddity surrounding this album is not the strangeness of the record, but Beverly herself. Many believe she is actually the Babushka Lady. Let me repeat this to ensure that you hear me loud and clear - Beverly is the Babushka Lady. That's the woman who filmed JFK up close at the very moment he was assassinated! Here she is at the scene of the crime.To read more on her possible connection and witness to the president's assassination go here. I'm not much of a JFK assassination expert, so I really can't make heads or tails of how credible the story is. But it does seem like a strong possibility that she was actually there. What's perhaps even more interesting is that Beverly Massegee (then Beverly Oliver) was a strip club dancer and was a regular entertainer at Jack Ruby's club, the Carousel. Now, what are the odds that an affiliate of Ruby, the guy who would kill Lee Harvey Oswald, would just happen to be at the exact spot of the Kennedy assassination? True or not, the mystery is extremely intriguing. Side note: Don't you find it kind of strange that a ventriloquist act would even make a record? Isn't the whole basis of ventriloquism, like a magic show, in the presentation? Yet, believe it or not, there was actually an entire sub-genre of ventriloquist records! We live in a strange and interesting world. > Posted by Gilligan at 10:09 PM Labels: album covers, bad album covers, JFK, records You might also like: Beatles Covers #4: Paul Muriat and Life Before IMDb and ...

I had to rename all the files in an editor and they seem to be fine now. A lot of information here lately that you tie together quickly. Your various sites, like the country friend idioms and stuff. I guess I do not have a mind that ties together varied but related topics like that. I sort of focus on one thing and may have blinders on. I am going to do the Miranda movie essay after a few more posts. Thanks for the media (it does work in my IE or Safari browsers...not my Mozilla).

I guess if they had ventriloquists on the radio back in the day, then they could do albums as well. I wonder what these were like. I don't know as much about the conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination as some people do. I do find that quite weird that she was there and her connection to Ruby. It does make you think. September 17, 2008 8:41 AM Post a Comment

CFR admits chemtrails composed of SULFUR, =asthma RSS Don Quixote User ID: 831455 12/3/2009 8:27 PM Report abusive post CFR admits chemtrails composed of SULFUR, =asthma Quote Copenhagen, Schmopenhagen By Jesse Ellison | NEWSWEEK Published Nov 28, 2009 From the magazine issue dated Dec 7, 2009 There will be no climate treaty to emerge from the conference in Copenhagen this month, global leaders now concede. But there may be alternative ways to help combat global warming. Various methods of geo--engineering employ unorthodox means to cool the planet. Advocates say that some of these proposals could be implemented quickly and cheaply. One concept is known as stratospheric aerosol insertion. A primer: How It Works Military planes (or helium balloons) spray the stratosphere with sulfur gases, which disperse and oxidize. The particles scatter back into space some of the sunlight that would have been absorbed by the planet's surface. As more sunlight is deflected, the planet cools. It's like an artificial version of an erupting volcano. The Bottom Line No major technological innovation would be needed, and, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, one -kilogram of sulfur could offset the effect of several hundred thousand kilograms of carbon dioxide. Potential downsides: regional ozone depletion, shifts in weather patterns, drought. Immediate Health Effects * If SWALLOWED, sulfur dioxide is Not Available * If ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN, sulfur dioxide is Not Available * If INHALED (SNIFFED OR BREATHED IN), sulfur dioxide is Not Available Longterm or Delayed Health Effects * This chemical is considered an Unclassifiable Carcinogen by the World Health Organization, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or another agency. * Allergen * Asthma Trigger Other * Respiratory (breathing) effects. Breathing high levels of sulfur dioxide can constrict airways, causing wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and breathing problems. This can aggravate existing respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, asthma, or emphysema, and trigger asthma attacks. Chronic exposure may cause bronchitis. Sulfur dioxide exposure may also impair the respiratory system’s defenses against foreign particles and bacteria. Exposure to extremely high concentrations of SO2 can cause severe shortness of breath and pulmonary edema, a medical emergency characterized by fluid building up in the lungs. Those most sensitive to sulfur dioxide exposure are children with asthma, the elderly, and individuals with asthma, cardiovascular or chronic lung disease (bronchitis, emphysema), or who are mouth-breathing, particularly when exercising. Exposure to SO2 while exercising can increase the likelihood of airway constriction. Possible effects of long-term exposure to SO2 during childhood are increased respiratory illness, wheezing fits, and respiratory-related emergency room visits. Long-term exposure to SO2 can change a child’s ability to breathe deeply. * Low concentrations of sulfur dioxide in outdoor air can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, causing coughing and shortness of breath. Long-term exposure to low concentrations can cause headache, nausea, dizziness, and temporary loss of smell. * Breathing SO2 in polluted outdoor air may heighten sensitivities to other allergens, particularly in asthmatics. * Cancer. Inhaling sulfur dioxide has caused lung tumors in test animals. Some, but not all, studies of workers exposed to high levels of sulfur dioxide have found increased risk for lung, stomach and brain cancer. * Several studies have found higher death rates on days with elevated SO2 levels in outdoor air. * Some studies have found that exposure to increased SO2 levels from outdoor air pollution during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk for low birth weight and premature birth. Long term exposure may decrease fertility in males and females. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmm...it almost sounds like the warnings for people who smoked and what second hand smoke does.

Yeah, get the windbag politicians to shut their traps. That'll cut down on hot air.
So, it seems that they are trying to sell "stratospheric aerosol insertion." Do people realize that reflecting sunlight like that will lead to drought?

Tom Brokaw Involved In Car Accident That Killed One RSS TXGal4Truth Which Side Do YOU Belong To? User ID: 764507 12/4/2009 7:39 PM Report abusive post Tom Brokaw Involved In Car Accident That Killed One Quote
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw issued the following statement Friday after his car collided with a sport utility vehicle in New York. The driver of the second vehicle was killed:
Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane. Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic.
As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it. Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life.

FOX 'NEWS' FANS FLOOD ANTI-U.S. CHAMBER CAMPAIGN W/ DEATH THREATS, RACIST EMAIL www.bradblog.com/?p=7568 Those "conservative" Fox "News" fans sure do use a lot of F-words in their death threats. We're used to various death threats by now, of course, even from Drudge's poodle, Andy "Big Government" Breitbart, but those socially "conservative", American "values"-lovin', Fox "News" viewers have really outdone themselves this time. On Monday night, FoxNews.com featured a story on the latest announcement from VR's StopTheChamber.com campaign, concerning the offer of a $200,000 reward for insider information leading to the arrest and conviction of Tom Donohue, the CEO of the right-wing corporatist lobbying group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. [Disclosure: The BRAD BLOG is a co-founder of VelvetRevolution.us] Apart from his work at the Chamber, Donohue has run a number of major corporations into the ground, as his tenure as CEO at each was generally plagued by improprieties, plunging stock values (coupled with soaring executive pay), scandal, various forms of illegal behavior and SEC investigations. He was found by the FEC to have made millions of dollars in illegal corporate campaign contributions in 2004 and is now facing a criminal investigation by the DoJ about that, even while he runs the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in many ways, as nothing short of a criminal racket. Unlike many similar campaigns VR has run in the past, offering such rewards for whistleblower information about wrong-doers over the years, this one caught the attention of the folks at Fox for some reason, and they decided to splash it on the front page of their website this week with a bold graphic shouting: "HUNTED BY THE LEFT: Bounty Put on Head of Chamber Boss". For good measure, in the story itself, they used the word "Liberal" a total of four times before they even finished the second graf. (An email to the story's author, Judson Berger, explaining that VR is a non-partisan group and works with folks of many different political bents, including Republicans, led them to change their headline from the wholly misleading "Liberal Group Puts Bounty on Head of Chamber of Commerce CEO" to the slightly-less misleading "Activist Group Puts Bounty on Head..." etc.)Anyway, while there is no bounty on anybody's "head", and no one is being "HUNTED", the StopTheChamber.com campaign does feature a reward for information leading to Donohue's arrest and conviction. Roll Call also covered [$-only] VR's announcement on Monday, though much more responsibly (in a far less inflammatory way) than Fox did. But this story is not about that, it's about the unbelievable amount of email that was sent from, presumably, those "socially conservative" Fox "News" fans in which a good 98% of those notes contained one or more of the following: * Threats of death or violence; * The F-Word (or similar); * Accusations of Nazism and/or Communism (never mind that it's difficult to be both) or Marxism or Socialism; * Racist slurs against Obama; * Accusations that VR is working with or for the White House or the Democrats (which is somewhat amusing if you know anything about VR). So here are just a few samples from some of those friendly emails from those good "conservatives" of Fox "News" willing to send out death threats, we'll guess, in support of the millionaire corporate lobbyists and billionaire corporations of the U.S. Chamber who've spent more money buying Congressmembers than anybody else in the country. These, apparently, are the Fox "News" "conservatives" --- Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly's "patriots" and Sean Hannity's "great Americans" --- as almost all of them came in at the same time that Fox's story on VR's reward offer was posted on the front page of FoxNews.com. Out of an abundance of generosity, we're not posting the emailers names here (each bullet-point quote below comes from a different note) but the ones which include threats of violence have been given to the FBI [PDF] in D.C., along with a request for an investigation to find out if the Chamber itself might be behind the hit campaign. As many of these are not safe for work, we'll post them below the fold... * * * * "Leave the US Chamber of Commerce alone. This is the only warning you will receive." * "You WILL be confronted and stopped ... I am quite probably a member of the fasting [sic] growing group that is your direct enemy..." * "Your [sic] all on borrowed time. The real revolution will come to those soon" * "You peices [sic] of sh*t should all be f**king burned at the stake" * "I dont make threats. Only promises. You better back the hell off" * "interesting site but this will be no velvet revolution people. Quite the contraire [sic] as you give the moniker a bad name. ... Now, if you want a revolution which it sounds as though you do, it most certainly wont be velvet." * "Be careful what you ask for..." * "Keep this $200,000 'tip' business going for the CEO of the Chamber and you will find yourself as the target.... You will only receive a limited number of warning --- this may be the only one --- before your punishment is delivered." * "Bounty on your head. Beware" * "All I can say is 'Go f**k your Mother'....What a pathetic left wing org this is......run by...wait for it.......Mother f**kers......." * "f**k YOU COMMUNIST MOTHERf**kERS!!!!! GET READY. CIVIL WAR II IS COMING, AND IT WILL BE THE RIGHT VS. THE LEFT THIS TIME. THE RIGHT WILL WIN. f**k YOU assh*leS!!!!!!!!!" * "your low life president Barry Boy along with Reid and Pelosi should all be arrested and tried for treason." * "Please let the world know who is behind this bounty offer so that they can be 'recognized' for their decision." * "I will inform friends and family of your thoughts and movements" * "Your group is a fascist front group. Why don't you and your band of traitors come to Texas and hold a big protest. We will 'welcome' you here." * "Try yourselves for treason againsst [sic] the U.S. and then we can hang you for your crimes against this country." * "Here is a tip --- eat sh*t you f**king liberal p*ssy f*gg*ts. if you black person loving hippies ever succeed in anything to ruin this country, you will find me banging down your door to take it back. i cannot believe how far this country has fallen when f**ks like you are allowed to roam free - go back to your ghettos and hide behind the food stamp, hand out line with all your other crack whore mothers" * "If you haven't already figured this out, you work for a very corrupt organization that is sponsored by the anti-Christ--even Satan himself." * (Subject: "Ingorance?" [sic]): "What is wrong with you slimy idiots? Just because someone or some group has more brains that [sic] your half white, half black, half assed, 100% bull sh*t leader you have to try and slander them? Must be part of the ACORN (A Conglomeration Of Racial Nuts (or whatever starts with N)." * "your boys numbers are plummeting ... your boy goes even more lame than he will be after he doesn't get healthcare, and gets destroyed in 2012." * "I am joining the Chamber just because of asshats like y'all and that Big-Eared Boy from Chicago. ... A Proud Texan" * "bend over and spread em and I'll give you more than the tip" * "I think he gave your mama a big tip up her ass, and the piece of sh*t that fell out was you! * "f**kING LOSERS!" * "Douche Canoes! YOU SUCK! You liberal f**ken [sic] asswipes." * f**k YOU DOUCHE BAGS * "2 cents for the arrest and indictment of NAZI traitors who belong to this Leftard Fascist ANTI-AMERICAN bunch of pissant girlieboys. How's Hitler...you should know. You and your Islamic Nazi allies." * "Where is your next get together in Miami, Fl...I'd like to go down to the rally and kick all your ass' for being a bunch of piece of crap communist !!! Let me know... You bunch of pigs" * "f**k off and die you leftist pricks. America is not a socialist country and never will be if I have to kick every one of your body odor smelling asses out of my country. So again f**k OFF!!!!" * "Any truth to the rumors that Obama likes men? Or, that he's a closet Muslim?" * "Send Velvet Revolution NAZIs to Gitmo they should endure a dose of the so-called 'torture' they're crying like the queer girlieboys that they really are. ... The more torture of Islamohitlerite babykilling Fascist pigs, the better. You should be with them." * May the islamic terrorists if they strike the U.S. again, aim at the White House West Wing and residence, the Congressional Office Buildings and Democratic lobbyists on K st. Maybe then we can get a government of the people. And no, that's not all of them. Just a sampling from the good "conservatives" in America who watch Fox "News" and read their website "religiously". If you'd like to "push back" against the thuggery, you can sign on in support of VR's "Stop The Chamber" campaign here.

Bookmarks Print AP – FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2009 file photo, author Stephen King reads from his latest book 'Ur' at a news … Sun Dec 13, 9:47 am ET
BANGOR, Maine – Author Stephen King and his wife are donating money so 150 soldiers from the Maine Army National Guard can come home for the holidays.
King and his wife, Tabitha, who live in Bangor, are paying $13,000 toward the cost of two bus trips so that members of the 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Unit can travel from Camp Atterbury in Indiana to Maine for Christmas. The soldiers left Maine last week for training at Camp Atterbury. They are scheduled to depart for Afghanistan in January.
Julie Eugley, one of King's personal assistants, told the Bangor Daily News that the Kings were approached about giving $13,000.
But Stephen King thought the number 13 was a bit unlucky, so the couple pitched in $12,999 instead. Eugley chipped in $1 to make for an even $13,000. ___

Italy has a long history of using, with US CIA handling, false flag self-attacks to degrade the left and promote their right wing governments and NATO. At TKIN, and by my own research and postings at NIR and here, there are links and overlaps described between the planning and staging and deployement of undercover, false identity agents at false flag "Operation Gladio" violent incidents, such as the "Red Brigade" kidnappings/murders and the Bologna bombing massacre, and celebrity imposter-replaCIAments. The island of Sardinia seems to have key bases in this regard, and it is a continuation of Mussolini's old psychosocial "strategy of tension" to hold and extend fascist power and goals. See what just happened with Italian rightwing "New World Order" golden boy, Billionaire media magnate Sylvio Berlusconio:
Silvio Berlusconi Attack: Will Italy's PM Gain Sympathy? Buzz up!18 votes Send Email IM Share Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Twitter Yahoo! Bookmarks Print Play Video AFP – Berlusconi may need weeks to recover from attack Play Video Video:Berlusconi attacked, hospitalized in Milan AP Play Video Video:Berlusconi Bloodied at Political Rally ABC News AFPTV – Doctors on Tuesday told Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to restrict public duties for two weeks … By JEFF ISRAELY Jeff Israely – Tue Dec 15, 3:10 am ET Moments after a Milan attacker hurled a rock-hard souvenir into Silvio Berlusconi's face, the dazed and bloodied Prime Minister stood up on the edge of his car so the crowd could get a good look. An aide would later say that Berlusconi, 73, instinctively wanted to assure everyone that he was all right. You might also imagine that the embattled leader was eager for the world to see that - thanks to his haters - he was in fact not all right. as the alleged attacker. Tartaglia's father told Italy's Sky News 24 that his son had a long history of mental illness and was not a political activist. Still, one could hardly describe the act as "isolated." The political climate in the country is edgier than ever, and Berlusconi's love-him-or-hate-him effect on the electorate has only grown stronger over the past eight months in the wake of a sex scandal and renewed legal battles. Last month, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni demanded that Facebook disable a user page called "Killing Berlusconi" that had attracted thousands of friends and fans in just a few weeks. (See a photo-essay on Silvio Berlusconi and the politics of sex.)
Just minutes before the attack - which took place on Sunday night at the end of a political rally - a group of young opponents had started heckling Berlusconi. The Prime Minister barked back and ultimately led his supporters in chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" in response to the protesters. In that context, Berlusconi's decision to display his bloody wounds could well have been a further rhetorical flourish, a melodramatic "Look what you've contributed to." (See a story about Silvio Berlusconi's legal woes.)
Regardless of what drove Berlusconi to exhibit his battered face, the world would be left with sufficient images of both the attack and its chaotic aftermath. Professional media coverage and amateur footage is on YouTube, and Italians have clicked through the events of the night like a real-time, interactive Zapruder film. Meanwhile, photographs of Berlusconi's slashed and bruised visage will now forever be part of the way we see the perma-tanned and image-conscious billionaire.
Though not lethal, the point-blank hurling of a miniature replica of Milan's Duomo was a brutal and violent act that could have done even more damage than the broken nose, two cracked teeth and sliced lip the Prime Minister suffered. Doctors at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan have run repeated MRIs on Berlusconi; there have been no signs of neurological damage so far. Berlusconi told aides that only a miracle prevented him from being blinded in his left eye. Interior Minister Maroni said the attack could have been fatal.
This was not the first time an onlooker had launched a dangerous object at Berlusconi. Five years ago, Roberto Dal Bosco was visiting the historic Piazza Navona when he happened upon a small crowd gathered around the Prime Minister on an afternoon stroll. Dal Bosco threw his tripod at Berlusconi, who suffered minor shoulder injuries. But after receiving a letter of apology, Berlusconi publicly forgave his attacker.
Berlusconi is now the recipient of bipartisan sympathy. Democratic party leader Pierluigi Bersani visited Berlusconi at the hospital on Monday, while Ezio Mauro, editor of La Repubblica, which has been hounding Berlusconi even more than usual in recent months, declared in an editorial that there is no space to justify any act of violence: "First because it is so grave in itself, and also because it could lead to a tragic season that we have already experienced in the worst years of our life," a clear reference to the ideological terrorism that left hundreds dead in Italy in the 1970s and '80s. There was also widespread condemnation of the tactics of opposition politicians Rosy Bindi and Antonio Di Pietro, who have suggested that Berlusconi's scorched-earth approach to politics helped create a climate ripe for violence.
It is unclear how the Prime Minister will emerge from the attack. After his first night in the hospital, with at least one more night to go, the famously resilient Berlusconi was notably "passive," according to his doctor. "He is subdued, very gloomy," his personal doctor, Alberto Zangrillo, told RAI television. "He is reacting in a way that is not like him."

Police: Auschwitz 'Arbeit Macht Frei' sign stolen

AP – FILE --In a Jan. 26, 2005 file photo visitors walk uhder the sign at the entrance gate of the Auschwitz … 9 mins ago
WARSAW, Poland – Polish police say the infamous iron sign over the gate to the Auschwitz memorial site with the cynical phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei" — German for "Work Sets You Free" — has been stolen.
Police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo said police believe it was stolen between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday, when museum guards noticed that it was missing and alerted police.
Padlo says the iron sign, which spanned a gate at the main entrance to the former Nazi death camp in southern Poland, was removed by being unscrewed on one side and pulled off on the other.
She says police have launched an intensive search. She says there are currently no suspects but police are pursuing several theories.
-------------- CIAnazis' slogan, carved at the front of the CIA HQ in Langley, Virginia "The Truth Shall Set You Free"....
By the way, shouldn't they have a security camera at the Auschwitz front gate area? Especially given the number neo-nazis and skinheads running around Poland?
