These 13 articles from the October 18, 2001 Ludington [Michigan] Daily News collectively represent the intertwining elements whereby the attacks of September 11th, along with the anthrax "terrorist mailings" which followed, were planned, orchestrated, engineered and effected by a United States political and military leadership, working alongside corporate and clandestine elites smeared around the globe, in order to suppress political, civil, economic and religious liberty, abuse human rights, justify armed international aggression against innocents, all so they might criminally plunder and illicitly engorge on $100's of billions of dollars from the global economy.
Approximately two and a half grams of so-called anthrax has been worth $60 billion to date to the thugs and simpletons running the bio-terror fraud.

The banner headline and front-page article above-the-fold is by the AP writer Jesse J. Holland, and contains a hodgepodge of anthrax doings in the New York-D.C. politico-media power corridor.
Holland specifies that at this point, the "only known confirmed exposures" to spores in D.C. were among Senate staff, which occurred to occupants of two adjoining offices in the Senate's Hart building. But it was the House of Representatives which decided to shut down business for the first time in the chamber's history, to allow for meaningful testing, not to mention meaningful remediation.
Holland describes a bitter battle behind-the-scenes when after the House announced it would close its session temporarily, the Senate decided to "go on working," which created a potential public-relations disaster. But what I see beyond the symbolism is that the "People's House" was truly afraid of the reputed power of spirochetes, while Senators like Kerry, Kennedy and Lieberman--knowing, secretly, somehow--were not. How better to appear on television, seemingly detached from fear, when really, you were detached from reality?
Representatives were guilty of the reverse though---the endless pandering to the false positive

The last paragraph: Maj. Gen.. John Parker of the Army's testing laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md. said the powder in the Daschle letter contained a "common variety" of anthrax.

October 18, 2001, AP - Ludington Daily News, page A6, House approves bill to put 'In God We Trust' om buildings,
[The Michigan State House voted 105-1 in favor of the measure allowing and encouraging the motto's display on schools and other public buildings. "The bill was first introduced...in the days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.]
Leaving aside for a moment a belief that God would prefer this sentiment to be in our hearts rather than on our shared architecture, isn't it a strange idea coming just days after two 110-story buildings were collectively witnessed collapsing to the ground in perfect symmetries?
To me, what is most improbable is the Michigan House vote of 105-1 in favor of this sentimental pandering, just seven days before the similar vote in the United States Senate, where Russell Feingold was the solitary vote against enacting the supremely important---one way or another---Patriot Act.
Five days before the Michigan vote, Feingold gave a speech in neighboring Wisconsin, to the Associated Press Managing Editors Conference at the Milwaukee Art Museum on October 12. Afterward, the address was incorporated into a document posted online called, On Opposing the Patriot Act, by Senator Russell Feingold,
Feingold cites several examples from American history specific to federal war powers and freedom of the press---
In 1917, the Postmaster General revoked the mailing privileges of the newspaper the Milwaukee Leader because he felt that some of its articles impeded the war effort and the draft. Articles called the President an aristocrat and called the draft oppressive. Over dissents by Justices Brandeis and Holmes, the Supreme Court upheld the action.
For example, during the Civil War, the government arrested some 13,000 civilians, implementing a system akin to martial law. President Lincoln issued a proclamation ordering the arrest and military trial of any persons "discouraging volunteer enlistments, [or] resisting militia drafts."
During World War II, President Roosevelt signed orders to incarcerate more than 110,000 people of Japanese origin, as well as some roughly 11,000 of German origin and 3,000 of Italian origin.
Feingold cites two provisions originally proposed in the Patriot Act, which were successfully removed by legislators:
Another provision would have broadened the criminal forfeiture laws to permit – prior to conviction – the freezing of assets entirely unrelated to an alleged crime. The Justice Department has wanted this authority for years, and Congress has never been willing to give it. For one thing, it touches on the right to counsel, since assets that are frozen cannot be used to pay a lawyer. The courts have almost uniformly rejected efforts to restrain assets before conviction unless they are assets gained in the alleged criminal enterprise. This proposal, in my view, was simply an effort on the part of the Department to take advantage of the emergency situation and get something that they’ve wanted to get for a long time.
For example, the original Administration proposal that was dropped contained a provision that would have allowed the use in U.S. criminal proceedings against U.S. citizens of information obtained by foreign law enforcement agencies in wiretaps that would be illegal in this country. In other words, evidence obtained in an unconstitutional search overseas was to be allowed in a U.S. court.
As it seeks to combat terrorism, the Justice Department is making extraordinary use of its power to arrest and detain individuals, jailing hundreds of people on immigration violations and arresting more than a dozen “material witnesses” not charged with any crime. Although the government has used these authorities before, it has not done so on such a broad scale. Judging from government announcements, the government has not brought any criminal charges related to the attacks with regard to the overwhelming majority of these detainees.
For example, the FBI arrested as a material witness the San Antonio radiologist Albader Al-Hazmi, who has a name like two of the hijackers, and who tried to book a flight to San Diego for a medical conference. According to his lawyer, the government held Al-Hazmi incommunicado after his arrest, and it took six days for lawyers to get access to him. After the FBI released him, his lawyer said, “This is a good lesson about how frail our processes are. It’s how we treat people in difficult times like these that is the true test of the democracy and civil liberties that we brag so much about throughout the world.”
