Save Our Children! (But From What?)

The Columbine Massacre
From Donna Taylor's perspective
14 June 2006

Eric Hufschmid

Mark Taylor, a student at Columbine high school, surprised doctors when he recovered from at least 7 gunshots. Donna Taylor, his mother, talks about the attack in a manner that is sure to shock you.
Did you think Michael Moore, the media, and the government were telling you the truth?

At about 11:20 a.m. on April 20, 1999, the students at Columbine high school were eating lunch. Two of the students, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, went outside the school near the parking lot and started shooting at the students who were also outside. One of the students that was hit was Mark Taylor. He fell to the ground, but was alive. After shooting a few students outside the school, Klebold and Harris entered the school and started shooting at students inside. Meanwhile, a policeman carries Mark Taylor away. Doctors at the hospital were not sure how many bullets hit him, but they guessed between 7 and 14. The doctors were certain that he was going to die, but he survived.

The official story was that Klebold and Harris were the only two students shooting. They may have been suicidal Nazis or social misfits who hated the world. The police valiantly tried to save the students from death, but 12 students and 1 teacher died, and 23 were injured.

Donna Taylor's story is quite different. I had several conversations with Donna Taylor, and even if some of her information and assumptions are incorrect, the official story of Columbine is as much of a lie as the official story for 9/11, Oklahoma City, the attack on the USS Liberty, and many other crimes. Rather than provide all of the conversations I had with her, I provide some of the more important excerpts below:

1. The police were not interested in asking Mark Taylor for information about the attack. More amazing, one of the policeman admitted that he was under orders to allow the shootings and let the victims die.

2. Half of the students didn't show up for school that day. At the hospital, Mark and Donna were warned to keep quiet about the attack because there may be additional killers on the loose who will come after them if they talk.

3. Donna Taylor says the hospital received a phone call on a special government phone line. The caller warned the hospital that there were be a shooting in a couple hours at a school. Immediately after the shooting they started "Columbine Connections" were ready with psychologists to convince the victims and their families to take psychiatric drugs to calm them down.

4. One of the high school girls says she saw three additional Trenchcoat Mafia members with guns at the school that day, but she assumed the guns were for one of the bizarre role playing games that occurred at the school.

5. One black student, Isaiah Shoels, was killed. When a friend of the Shoels wanted to help put a video together about the killing, he was killed mysteriously, and then the Shoels moved out of the town. There were several mysterious deaths. The school was also strange; it had courses in death.

6. The Taylor family moved into the neighborhood 3 weeks before the shooting, so Mark was a student at Columbine for only 3 weeks. During that brief time, he complained to his mother that the school was strange.

7. "Columbine Connections" was set up for counseling, and it was encouraging psychiatric drugs.

8. Donna Taylor knows of three policemen and firemen who were so disgusted with the corruption that they quit their jobs and moved away.

9. A government doctor, Dr. Bill Deagle, would come into their house to help them. He would encourage drug use, and would talk about the government putting chips under people's skin. Dr. Deagle may have been setting a trap for the Taylors. Specifically, if the Taylor daughter had stolen some of his money, the police could then tell the Taylor family that if they want to keep their daughter out of jail, all they have to do is keep quiet about Columbine. Did Dr. Deagle catch any of the other Columbine residents in this trap? Is this the reason there are so few people talking about the Columbine massacre?

10. Some students hung themselves after the shooting. One of them was one the student who tried to save the teacher -- William Sanders -- who had been shot.

11. Two students who know Klebold and Harris were killed inside a Subway sandwich shop after the shooting, but there was not much of an investigation. Here is a new report about the killings:: www.seacoastonline.com/2000news/2_15_w1.htm

12. Donna Taylor thinks some of the people who tried to help her, such as Virginia Davis, were actually trying to hurt her financially and break apart her family. She suspects them of being government agents.

13. Has anybody considered that Klebold and Harris were Useful Idiots, like Tim McVeigh, Lee Oswald, and Mohammed Atta. They made videos of themselves talking about killing students, but never suggested suicide.

14. A friend of Dylan Klebold says he was put on Prozac long before the shooting. After Klebold and Harris were caught breaking into a van, they were put on more psychiatric drugs.

15. Donna Taylor took psychiatric drugs the government doctor gave her for one year after the shooting. She complained the drug would make her hallucinate.


During the Clinton administration the Columbine attack occurred, and so did the Oklahoma City bombing and other scams. Did George Bush save us from the corrupt Clinton administration? No. So don't be fooled into thinking that a Democrat will save us from the corrupt Bush administration. The incompetence, corruption, and wars occur regardless of who the president is.

You Really Love Your Ipod, Don't You?



Inside Apple's iPod factories
By Macworld staff
June 12, 2006

Apple's iPods are made by mainly female workers who earn as little as £27 per month, according to a report in the Mail on Sunday yesterday. The report, 'iPod City', isn't available online. It offers photographs taken from inside the factories that make Apple music players, situated in China and owned by Foxconn. The Mail visited some of these factories and spoke with staff there. It reports that Foxconn's Longhua plant houses 200,000 workers, remarking: "This iPod City has a population bigger than Newcastle's."

The report claims Longhua's workers live in dormitories that house 100 people, and that visitors from the outside world are not permitted. Workers toil for 15-hours a day to make the iconic music player, the report claims. They earn £27 per month. The report reveals that the iPod nano is made in a five-storey factory (E3) that is secured by police officers.

Another factory in Suzhou, Shanghai, makes iPod shuffles. The workers are housed outside the plant, and earn £54 per month - but they must pay for their accommodation and food, "which takes up half their salaries", the report observes.

A security guard told the Mail reporters that the iPod shuffle production lines are staffed by women workers because "they are more honest than male workers". The report also explains that the nano contains 400 parts, and that its flash memory is the most expensive component. The report looks at several salient components of the nano, and describes the product as a reflecting the global way business works today. This is because the iPod nano contains parts developed by technology companies from across the planet. Apple is just one of thousands of companies that now use Chinese facilities to manufacture its products, the report observes. Low wages, long hours and China's industrial secrecy make the country attractive to business, particularly as increased competition and consumer expectations force companies to deliver products at attractive prices.

WHY IS OUR PRESIDENT ABOVE THE LAW?
• George W. Bush has DISOBEYED OUR LAWS and declared himself above them. His administration has stated that he has the power and "reserves the right" to ignore laws if he so chooses.
• He lied to Congress and to the American people to justify an invasion of a country that did not threaten us. In the year and a half leading up to the war, G.W. Bush knew that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and no relationships to 9/11, al Qaida or Osama bin Laden.
• He ordered the National Security Agency to execute secret and illegal spying on the telephone and internet conversations of millions of Americans. To hide this illegal activity, the Bush administration has directed the NSA, the same agency that was ordered to execute the spying, to block an investigation of itself. Congress needs to investigate this government intrusion immediately.
• He is systematically eroding civil and human rights, along with our Bill of Rights. Our government now holds thousands of prisoners without due process of law, and more are handed over to nations acting for us. These prisoners are subjected to torture and degrading, inhumane treatment that violate international law.
• He has selectively leaked classified information for purposes of political gain.
These are all impeachable offenses.

We must not allow this or any future President to undermine our Constitution.

We must not allow this administration to launch further illegal, pre-emptive wars in Iran or elsewhere.

We must reestablish democratic procedures that have been suspended by the administration's exploitation of 9/11.

The survival of our democracy depends on us.


What can we, the people, do?
1. Educate ourselves. Read the 'Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush, published by the Center for Constitutional Rights. Visit websites such as http://www.impeachpac.org/resolutions or http://www.impeachbush.tv/impeach/bystate.html

2. Write our congressional representatives demanding they initiate immediate impeachment proceedings and support Rep. John Conyers' resolution (H Res. 635) to investigate impeachment.

3. Write letters to the editor of our local newspapers, stating our views and making our case to our fellow citizens.

4. Initiate or support local resolutions calling for impeachment of Bush/Cheney, as towns in Vermont, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and elsewhere have done.

5. Support candidates running on an impeachment platform.

THE CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT IS THE STRONGEST IN AMERICAN HISTORY

South Central Farmers UPDATED 6/14


Media Advisory
SOUTH CENTRAL FARMERS

Tonight Daryl Hannah will be on Larry King Live to talk about the South Central Farm. ***It is important that in this national media venue, we ensure that the primary sentiment by callers and viewers is a POSITIVE one.***WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
1. Call in to the show during the broadcast (it is on at 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific) and ask a question or make a positive comment. The talking points and suggested questions are below.
2. Email your comments or questions NOW at the Larry King website: www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/
3. Spread the word to other allies who are supportive of the South Central Farm.

This press release was just sent to us from the South Central Farm where Julia Butterfly Hill had been fasting and tree sitting for over 3 weeks. Daryl Hannah and John Quigley are still there and at last report were still in the walnut tree but about to get removed by sheriffs at any moment.

***NEWS FLASH - Tuesday 8:59am, 8 people have been carried out on tretchers and they have started to bull doze the land! WHAT: Hundreds of officers with the Los Angeles Sheriff department swarmed onto the peaceful, non-violent South-Central Farmers garden at 5:15am today accompanied by six helicopters buzzing over the sleeping supporters.Supporters of this 14 acre organic farming community remain outside the locked-downarea on the street chanting their protest of this forceful action while 20 are still insidethe farm.Dozens of supporters have been living on the land, sleeping in tents, and taking turns living in the Walnut tree on the premise while fasting to show solidarity with the Farmers. Julia-Butterfly Hill just came down last week after fasting for 23 days. Several celebrities have shown up in the last few weeks - Willie Nelson, Martin Sheen, Danny Glover, Ed Begley, Jr, Joan Baez to name a few.



Developer Ralph Horowitz Attacks the Poor of South Central Los Angeles Destroying the Primary Food Source of 350 Families The South Central Farm was forcefully seized today despite the peaceful resistance of the South Central Farmers and their supporters. An early morning raid began at 5:00am to evict the farmers and community supporters who had taken up camp 21 days ago at the South Central Farm. The L.A. County Sheriffs Department coordinated this action with the assistance of the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Police Department who were dressed in full riot gear. Approximately 50 demonstrators have been arrested, some suffering the force of baton use. Bulldozers have been brought in to level the 14 acres of food and medicine that began to bloom 14 years ago when the land was mitigated to the community in the wake of the 1992 uprising. With tears on their faces farmers are being supported by an influx of community supporters turning out to demonstrate their continued efforts to save the land for the community.In reaction to today’s action, Tezozomoc, an elected representative of the South Central Farmers comments, The community is outraged that the failure of our political leadership has led us to this situation. This is a historic moment of devastating shame for the city of LA. Our community is completely distraught. The mayor did not let our farmers in to his press conference today, violating their civil rights…In February of 2004, Judge Jaffey, when he issued the conjunction that proposed the city undo the process that was created in the back room deal with Mayor Villariagosa, the City Council had the opportunity to take personal responsibility for this situation. Instead, they choose to cover up the story using the legal issue of property rights. If the City Council had taken personal responsibility to undo the deal we would not be in this situation that is breaking the heart of Los Angeles.

What's The Deal With Scientology, anyway??


The secrets of Scientology
Reported by: Sara Lawrence (For quick explanation, scroll to end)
Wednesday, April 19th, 2006


"Sitting on a red velvet chair in the middle of a majestic, oak-panelled hall in East Grinstead, I have rarely felt more fearful for my sanity. On the wall in front of me, a creepy, larger-than-life-sized portrait of an old man seems to be staring straight at me. In front of the portrait, Laura, a middle-aged woman wearing a high-necked blouse and ostentatious gold cross, stands behind a lectern reading aloud from a huge leather-bound tome. None of the worshippers take their eyes off Laura as they repeat her words back to her. Phrases such as: “All men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others” are made ridiculous by the followers repeating them in a monotonous drone.

I am at Saint Hill Manor in East Grinstead, West Sussex - the UK’s Church of Scientology headquarters. In the few hours I spend at Saint Hill I realise this exercise is anything but innocuous, and might go some way to explaining why Katie Holmes, the one-time girl next door of American television, has been enveloped into the cult championed by the father of her unborn baby, Tom Cruise. After much talk of her staying silent during the birth, in accordance with Scientology’s beliefs that babies born to the sounds of their mothers screaming are more likely to encounter emotional problems in later life, Cruise announced in an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that Holmes is no longer a Catholic. Asked whether their baby would be baptised a Catholic, he said: “You can be Catholic and a Scientologist. You can be Jewish and a Scientologist. But we’re just Scientologists.”

Cruise and Homes are not alone. Kelly Preston, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Isaac Hayes, and Priscilla and Lisa-Marie Presley are also members of the sect, created in 1954 by the pulp science-fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. It is his portrait that hangs in Saint Hill. Intrigued by a cult that believes humans are the descendants of aliens, I have come to Saint Hill to find out what really goes on in the “church”.

Very few journalists have infiltrated this bizarre “religion”, although it has attracted at least eight million followers and is estimated to make £250m a year from its members.
Posing as an interested disciple, I first call into the Scientology Centre on London’s Tottenham Court Road where I fill out an Oxford Capacity Analysis Test, designed to measure emotional state in order to highlight areas that Scientology can improve. Although the test is free, I am encouraged to purchase a copy of Hubbard’s Dianetics (for £6.99) and to contact them when I finish reading it.

My results apparently prove that I am depressed, nervous, critical, anxious and unable to communicate. I am told that I am in dire need of spiritual enlightenment and that only Scientology can help me. I telephone the Church of Scientology’s headquarters at Saint Hill, claiming that I am concerned by my test results. I am invited to attend a “church” service, a “group processing session”, and to have a guided tour by a “recruitment expert” of the building and grounds at Saint Hill, known to those inside as “The Castle”. Two days later, I am standing on the manicured lawns of the beautiful Jacobean building that is home to Scientology’s version of the civil service - the Sea Organisation.

My guide for the day, Ron, appears. He tells me has been a member for seven years and sold his home in Norwich six years ago “to be closer to the Sea Organisation”. He works at Saint Hill every evening and weekend. He has a day job as an electrician and seems surprised when I ask him if he has time off. “Why would I want to do that?” asks the 33-year-old. “I love it here.”
As Ron guides me around the vast building, I notice several recruits going about their daily tasks. Weeding, sweeping, cooking and cleaning, the tasks are performed silently - free of charge - by followers who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant costs of the study courses that would bump them up Scientology’s hierarchichal system.

Part of my tour takes in converted outbuildings that comprise a sauna, showers and a gym area. Three teenage boys and a girl wearing swimsuits are sitting eating a spartan meal of rice and beans. “These people are undergoing a period of purging,” Ron tells me. After taking a variety of vitamins and minerals designed to cure addiction, they spend the day alternately sweating in the sauna and running full tilt on the machines. When I ask what the purpose of the exercise is, Ron is unable to tell me whether these youngsters are addicted to alcohol or drugs - they’re just “addicts”. None of them look up when I say hello. They do not even look at each other. Ron doesn’t appear to see anything strange in their behaviour. “People come here to be cured of things - physical addictions, mental distress and spiritual travail,” he says. “They can only really begin to work on their Scientology when they are are cleared of all the poisons in their bodies - and this is what the purging is for.” He tells me that if I am serious about wanting to join up, I will need to do this too. I ask if Scientology is a drug rehabilitation programme or a religion and he can’t give me a straight answer: “It’s different things for different people, you know,” he says. I don’t. “Well, people have all different kinds of problems and Scientology can help anyone through anything. It makes you a better person.”

Quite what Scientology does for the individual has been a matter of debate since Hubbard set it up in 1954. Tellingly, four years earlier, he had announced at an authors’ convention: “Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars he should start his own religion.” Aged 42, he declared that humans are descendants of an exiled race from outer space called Thetans and that we are nothing more than temporary vessels for the immortal souls of Thetans. Only by exorcising painful memories of our past incarnations can we achieve our full potential and reach spiritual salvation. Scientologists believe that life is a relentless struggle towards the total erasing of painful mental images - called “engrams” - that accumulate through successive incarnations.

The cult has always had its detractors. In 1984, Mr Justice Latey, giving judgement in open court after a private hearing, branded the scientologists “corrupt, sinister and immoral”. In 1991, Cynthia Kisser, former executive director of the American Cult Awareness Network, proclaimed that “Scientology is quite likely the most ruthless, the most litigious and the most lucrative cult the country has ever seen.” In 1994, the Californian Court of Appeal accepted that the techniques of scientology constituted brainwashing. In Britain, the Charity Commission denied Scientology religious status on the basis that it did not benefit the public in any way.
As I’m led inside another room by Ron, I see at least 100 people - most of them elderly - poring over huge leather-bound books. It reminds me of one of the large reading room in the British Library - but these people are not browsing for free. Although Ron will not give me an exact figure, he says that recruits pay “thousands” to study Scientology.

Elsewhere, there are hundreds of machines stacked up in readiness for a possible sales event that afternoon. Called E-meters (short for electropsychometer) they look like two tin cans attached by thin wires to a navy blue control panel. By gripping the cans in both hands, the specially designed machine will supposedly help senior Scientologists locate areas of spiritual distress in your soul. Although the Scientologists’ own prayer book states they can only be used by Scientology ministers, I - a definite non-minister - am offered the chance to purchase one, a snip at £3,000.

I ask Ron whether I’m likely to bump into any famous names. He shakes his head. “Celebrities rarely attend Saint Hill, except on special occasions,” he says. “There is a dedicated ‘celebrity centre’ in London’s Bayswater.” Apparently, celebrities have “special needs”, although he won’t expand on this. Somehow, I can’t envisage Cruise or Travolta sleeping in a barracks in East Grinstead.

At the end of the four hours, I am keen to leave. Ron tries to get me to make an appointment to see someone for “dianetics counselling” as soon as possible. He phones me that evening - and for the next three days. A female recruit also leaves me messages - none of which I return.
The cult has attempted to intimidate news organisations who expose it. Last year, it threatened court action against Google, which had to remove websites that criticised the group. After a day witnessing what goes on on the inside, I realise it’s little wonder the “church” needs to resort to such tactics. "

This is basically what scientology preaches:
Seventy-five million years ago, in an effort to control overpopulation in his galaxy, an intergalactic ruler named Xemu sent billions of aliens to Earth, or Teegeeack as it was called then, in space planes after paralyzing them with an alcohol/glycol injection. He had them buried in volcanoes and then blown up with H-bombs. The ghosts of these aliens were then forced to watch 3-D films of helicopters circling and crashing for 30 days which told them what life should be like. Afterwards they clustered together in groups of thousands and attached themselves to humans that were on Earth. As a result, we are all possessed by these groups of alien souls, called "body thetans". These body thetans cause people many problems which can be cured by telepathically auditing them through several expensive means.
