I've read some of your writings, skimmed through some, and have an absolute knot in my solar plexus. I did a search on you, and can't find anything about you. Your reports are very damning and some of the scariest I've read - and I've read alot! Please tell me how you've attained such in-depth knowledge. Sincerely, Sara To Elaine Cullen.

In 1993, the United States was decommissioned from NATO and the decisionmaking power was shifted soley to the EU of which the United States is not a member. All of the decisions about these actions being taken by NATO are being made solely by the EU, yet involving both the use of US troops and massive expenditures of U.S. funding for military actions around the world.

Toklas: <i>"Mr. Gates and myself met Mr. Putin and a few aides for lunch in the Kremlin cafeteria. The discussions over the missle shield to defend Pluto had been intense. My pantyhose was itching but I controlled myself and moved my chair far back from the formica table so that I could cross my left leg over my right. I moved my left foot up and down slightly at the ankle. The sharp red leather toe was making my point for me. Mr. Putin's eyes brightened. He said something in Russian, looking directly at me and by-passing the translator. Mr. Putin knew I was fluent in Russian but he often mumbled or used a strange dialect that I could not understand. I think what he said had the word "Hermitage" in it. Mr. Gates' translator whispered in his ear. Mr. Gates then whispered in mine--"He's asking you if you have ever visited the Hermitage." Mr.Gates' translator apparently spoke the same dialect. I nodded affirmatively with the toe of my red leather shoe and said in my best Russian: "Da, Mr. President, we have often visited Nashville. He was one of our greatest presidents. The Russian Federation president's knowledge of American history is impressive." Mr. Putin clenched his teeth and smiled lightly. His eyes looked left and right. He looked at Mr. Gates before his eyes focused on the carbonate chandelier. My attempt to break the ice on the missile shield seemed to be working. Then suddenly Mr. Putin switched to French, and said something that sounded like "Injure". Mr. Gates' translator whispered into his ear. Mr. Gates whispered into my ear. "One of these days--he said one of these days", said Mr. Gates in my ear. When the waiter came, to reinforce my point I ordered a capuccino with slivovitz and pirogi filled with grits. I had to explain what grits were to the waiter.

Remember, NATO was formed to keep off Soviet aggression against the West Europe. So, the cold war is over, and there is no enemy, but ourselves. We invaded Afghanistan, and Iraq, both had no army, no navy, and no air force. Even worse, we ask NATO to fight off a bunch of guys with AK's in the middle of nowhere. Somehow, instead of kicking their butts, we are kickng our own, by wasting more of our lives, time, and money. We are the occupiers, and we were meant to be a republic, protecting ourselves from attacks such as 9/11, but we were to busy occupying Saudi Arabia, Kosovo, Germany, Japan, and Korea. Where is our morale? Where is our pride at? We all lost it, thanks to the government, sleeping in bed with corporates and big business. Somehow, the Constitution stands, and warns us correctly. "Peace, trade, and honest friendship with all nation; Entangle alliances with none". Unfortuneately, right as always. Remember, NATO was formed to keep off Soviet aggression against the West Europe.
