Frontiersman, February 2002

The U.S. Government Has Been Laden With Guilt
Sam Aurelius Milam III
I've said many times that the U.S. government has never presented any real proof that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the September 11 attacks. Here's what General Tommy Franks¹ had to say about it during an interview with Jim Lehrer on the NewsHour, on January 8, 2002.

JIM LEHRER: Have we found enough that makes you able to conclude that, hey, this really was where this - this really was the main base of al-Qaida, this is where Osama bin Laden and his people were calling the shots as much as they were?

GEN. TOMMY FRANKS: My honest answer is no. What we have found is a number of places where we believe terrorist control activities have taken place inside Afghanistan.

But to be able to pick one and say, this is the one, no, Jim, we haven't found that.

JIM LEHRER: Did they - you don't have any evidence that they controlled something outside of Afghanistan from Afghanistan?

GEN. TOMMY FRANKS: I'm not sure I understand -

JIM LEHRER: Well, let's talk about September 11. Have you found anything on the ground that is directly ties somebody - anybody on the ground in Afghanistan to what happened here on September 11?

GEN. TOMMY FRANKS: I have not - I have not seen evidence of this direct tie to which you made reference, aside from the film that I think was widely publicized, which I think each American has to decide whether he believes that bin Laden was truly behind this thing on the 11th of September, as indicated in that film.

I have my own view but in terms of documentary source of evidence or computer hard drive that provides the smoking gun, no, that has not been something that we have found. Now, the computer hard drives that we have found have indicated traffic between several of the players inside the organization, and we're going to have to put bits and pieces together over time to decide if there are direct ties associated to the 11th of September in that.

I've said many times that the people in the U.S. government had already decided, without evidence, before the dust had even settled, that Osama bin Laden was behind the attacks. Here's what Tommy Franks had to say.

JIM LEHRER: But leading this military effort as you have for three months, did you not have this pretty much in your head already? You thought you were going after the people who had done this awful thing.

GEN. TOMMY FRANKS: That's a valid thing to say. My view since the beginning of this has been that al-Qaida was up to their ears in this. And so, yes, as we have moved since early October on this, that's what I've believed. I believe that al-Qaida was a major part of this operation, and that's why it has not been a stretch for me to be very interested and very focused and very energized... Of great resolve, when it comes to destruction of this terrorist network and to the destruction of the Taliban.

So, the U.S. government has dropped thousands of bombs on Afghanistan, killed countless people there, destroyed untold infrastructure there, frozen the assets of people all over the world, "detained" and harassed people in the USA — all without proof, based entirely on preconceived notions and circumstantial evidence, if any evidence at all. No wonder the U.S. government is hated by so many people. It's the most hypocritical bully on the face of the earth, preaching tolerance and practicing terrorism. The "war on terrorism" is merely another example of such behavior. The so-called "war" isn't going to solve the problem. Indeed, it (and other such routine behavior), is the problem.

General Tommy Franks is the head of the U.S. Central Command. He's responsible for operations from Egypt and Jordan down the Horn of Africa, across to Pakistan, and up as far north as Kazakhstan. Note: The interview date shown on the NewsHour website is incorrect.

Letters to the Editor
<frontiersman@ida.net>

Your newsletter looks good, but I am cynical enough to believe that even if everyone on earth were to read it or have it read to them in the language of their birth that less than one percent would care. Those that live within the geographical boundaries of the USA would prefer security to liberty not realizing that they and their offspring are doomed to have neither. Those that are living outside the USA that care will see the trend as a sign that the USA is becoming its own worst enemy, again.

Look at what happened in history and you will see it happening again. During WW2 the USA fought to eliminate fascism and the USA ended up a fascist government. During the Cold War the USA fought to eliminate socialism and the USA ended up a socialist government. It would seem that the USA's most successful tactic is to be better at whatever is attacking it. The trend continues as terrorists attack the USA. The signs are clear that the government is becoming terrorist in nature.

Being a pessimist has only one reward. A pessimist can be pleasantly surprised. An optimist can only be disappointed.

Happy New Year

Dear Mr. Aurelius,

I just read a copy of your fine publication that a friend in the next cell lent me. I must say, I am impressed. I would appreciate being included on your mailing list. I would also like to know where I can write to get on some other mailing lists for similar newsletters etc. I do not know if you can help me with that, but it would be appreciated. Thank you for your time, and a fine newsletter.

— Brian; Sterling, Colorado

PS. You may be interested to know that the Colorado Revised Statutes contain some similar laws to the 18USC2385 that you wrote about in Jan '02. See Title 16 under Crimes of Loyalty if you are interested.

— B.

Crimes of Loyalty? I guess it's as bad as I thought it was.

The following was hand-written on the outside of Brian's envelope. "Freedom is a sure possession of only those who are strong enough to keep it."

Here are some addresses. I don't necessarily endorse everything presented in these publications. However, I think that they're interesting. The prices that I quoted came from the issues that I had on hand, and might not be current. Also, I can't guarantee that the publications are still available.

Greetings comrade. I recently received your latest issue of the Frontiersman. Very nice I must say, and once again I'm compelled to write and stress my appreciation of your sending me the Frontiersman. I really enjoy the content, always inspiring to say the least....

Happy New Year!
[The following statement was in response to my article Criminal Procedure, January 2002.] I thought since US revolt against Brits that some where in the Constitution was the wording saying we can overthrow an unjust Government ............ Thanks for setting me straight on that one. [Such wording exists in the Declaration of Independence but not in the U.S. constitution.]

[The following statement was in response to my comment "Let's not call the recent nonsense in Afghanistan a war. It wasn't a war. It was target practice, a chance for U.S. government thugs to test weapons systems on live targets, under safe conditions."..... Note: I didn't insert the gun symbol in her response. She did.] agree - f

cking overkill — just to avoid US deaths. A surgical cut was needed — not grind into hamburger!. Besides — it's all for oil anyway — proposed pipelines were held up by taliban..................HEY! war was never declared! (again!)

[The following statement was in response to Math Test For Today's Gang Members.]

U forgot 1:

If Leroy is robbing the 7-11 at 2 AM & he is running 9 mph and the cop car 2 blocks away is going 45 mph., how many years in Leavenworth will Leroy get?

(trick Q: Leroy is not in the Armed Forces) hehehehehe

How about instead of a IQ test make up a BS test for double talking mealy-mouthed- politicians?

If President Buch Jr. used the word 'justice' for the word 'revenge' & changed hated symbol: 'drug' into 'terrorist' — how many US sheep, err citizens...... will bleat in tune with the military industrial complex?

(used Buch Jr. as al Jeezra does)

BTW what U think of 'Taliban Walker'?

I take most Government announcements as opposites of the truth: Touting J.Walker as Taliban trash — means to me he was a undercover agent & needed to extradite him with Chaff in the air. Beside I heard when the 2 cia ops ordered the tying up of 200 POW's — the POW's thought they were to b executed and sparked the bloodiest battle of the Afgha conflict.

Also heard that on Nov. 11 Kandahar airport bombing was stopped and Taliban & AlQeada were allowed flight. The so called search for Ossama is just more field practice for the armed forces. The suicide stunt on India's parliament was AlQeada's: to divert Pakistan's attention from Afgha to other side of country.

Here's a question for you. What if they have already captured, killed, and cremated Osama bin Laden, and just didn't tell us? Then, they could keep hunting him forever.

Dear Sam

... Thank you for your "newsletter". I enjoy (it fortifies me) all the stuff about rights & gov't. The rest I could do without. I may not have confessed to you, but I am a feminist, and your quasi-misogynist writings, even when they're said by Buck Hunter, never please or entertain me. Your better ideas deserve a wider forum — republishing in a subscriber's own newsletter is not enough. If you don't get someone to put you permanently (with archives) on the web, your words will disappear. I can't afford to preserve your newsletters (lack of space), but someone ought to. Because I can't be your broadcaster, I'm no good to the furthering of your ideas. Because you have no broadcaster, I think your considerable efforts are wasted. I don't need your words for my own battle against the military-industrial complex. Reluctantly I ask that you stop sending me the Frontiersman. If you go online (or your words do), let me know.

With apologies,

— Jonathan; Santa Clara, California

I don't care if you are a feminist. You have as much right to your opinion as I do to mine. However, neither you nor any other feminist should be able to enact repressive rules that compel me to behave as if I were a feminist when I'm not, or to punish me if I fail to behave according to your politically correct feminist expectations. I resent having my attitude forcibly "corrected" for no better reason than that the self-righteous reformers in the feminist movement believe that their attitude is more sacred than mine. I don't want to work in a sexually integrated workplace. If that causes you to think of me as a quasi-misogynist, then so be it. If you want to work in a sexually integrated workplace, go ahead. Every time some woman uses her sexuality to manipulate you, then you can pretend that she's just one of the guys. Every time you get caught ogling, flirting, or telling an "inappropriate" joke, they can send you to "sensitivity and diversity" training, to be brainwashed. When you're accused of sexual harassment (where you're guilty until proven innocent), then they can fire you and sue the company. Suit yourself. I don't want any part of it.

The feminists are one of the more repressive movements in this country. They promote arrogance, hypocrisy, intolerance, and insensitivity. They've done more than any other group (except maybe the "terrorists") to increase the intrusive and repressive powers of the U.S. government. That is why I oppose them.

Math Test For Today's Gang Members
(In order to make the learning process more effective, material should be written to more closely fit the experiences of today's youth. In that vein, here are some math questions designed for today's gang members.)
Original source unknown. Forwarded by Sir John the Generous.
•     Hector knocked up 6 girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?
•     Thelma can cook dinner for her 16 children for $7.50 per night. She gets $234 a month welfare for each child. If her $325 per month rent goes up 15%, how many more children should she have to keep up with her expenses?
•     Salvador was arrested for dealing crack and his bail was set at $25,000. If he pays a bail bondsman 12% and returns to Mexico, how much money will he lose by jumping bail?
