This was sent to me by Daniel Moore, a prisoner in the ECCS.  I printed
out the transcription of "Power of Nightmares", and I can tell you it is
very strong stuff.  Americans like fairy tales, so the original program
is unlikely ever to be played in the United States.  It, of course,
played on the BBC, and reminds me that despite what you may believe, the
British have a far more open society than we do.   HEG

Subject: Free BBC Documentary "Power of Nightmares" Exposes Terror
Manipulations

(excerpt)

Two documentaries, BBC's Power of Nightmares (view free) and Robert
Greenwald's Unconstitutional, and my own personal experience as a
presidential interpreter all expose blatant manipulations in the war on
terror. Power of Nightmares and Unconstitutional are briefly described
and both available online for free viewing at links provided below. My
own revealing personal experiences working as a language interpreter in
secret meetings with Presidents Bush, Clinton, and other top officials
are also described below. Links to articles in the mainstream media
reporting on my whistleblowing testimony are provided. Empowering
suggestions also tell how you can help to strengthen democracy and build
a brighter future for us all. The Power of Nightmares This highly
revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the roots of the war on terror,
only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post-9/11 world has
been fabricated by those in power for their own interests. The intrepid
BBC team presents highly informative interviews with experts and top
officials in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who
is behind all of the fear-mongering. These experts and riveting footage
also show how the media have been manipulated to support secret power
agendas. This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11,
fear has been used widely in the media to manipulate the public into
giving up civil liberties and turning over power to elite groups with
their own hidden agendas. The Power of Nightmares clearly demonstrates
that the nightmare vision of a powerful, united terrorist organization
waiting to strike our societies is largely an illusion. Wherever the BBC
team looked for al-Qaeda, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the
sleeper cells in America, they found that we are chasing a phantom
enemy. For all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is
a must-watch video. View Free: All Three Parts of the BBC Documentary

by Robert Greenwald Another eye-opening video available online for free
viewing is Unconstitutional. In this most excellent documentary,
interviews with ranking members of Congress, top legal experts, and even
a former CIA chief describe many insidious efforts to take away freedoms
guaranteed under the constitution for over 200 years. Compelling video
footage shows US citizens, from law-abiding store clerks to a US
Olympian, who have been the victims of unconstitutional policies
established under the Patriot Act. Members of Congress describe the
replacement of the previously agreed upon Patriot Act by another version
quietly slipped into its place just hours before the final vote in
Congress, leaving no one time to read the many devastating changes
inserted at the last minute. Call your friends together to watch this
engaging film, and to join in the growing movement to uphold democracy
and the U.S. Constitution. Unconstitutional: Purchase or view free at

Personal Experience of Presidential Interpreter Fred Burks In my own
experience as an interpreter for US and foreign presidents, I have
personally witnessed some of the manipulations mentioned in the Power of
Nightmares and Unconstitutional. Having worked as an Indonesian
interpreter with the US Department of State for over 18 years, in
January 2005 I testified to this in the widely publicized trial of
Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. Among other things, Mr.
Ba'asyir was accused by US authorities of being the mastermind behind JI
(Jemaah Islamiah), which is alleged to be a sister organization of Al
Qaeda. Many Indonesians were quite skeptical of these allegations. Like
me and the BBC video, they questioned whether JI was largely fabricated
by powerful elite groups with hidden agendas. At the trial, I testified
about a Sept. 2002 secret meeting at which I interpreted for President
of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri, US Ambassador Ralph Boyce, National
Security Council representative Karen Brooks, and a special assistant
sent personally by President Bush (who revealed privately to me that she
was a CIA agent). The "special assistant" pressured President Megawati
to secretly capture and turn over (a.k.a. render) Ba'asyir to the United
States. Yet US authorities have continually denied ever putting any
pressure on Jakarta to act against Ba'asyir. To read articles about my
recent testimony in the Boston Globe and BBC, and to read some of what
I've written on this and more, see below.

Over a year before this secret meeting, a trusted friend gave me some
powerful, disturbing information which opened my eyes to large-scale
manipulations of which I had previously been completely unaware. This
information involved the public testimony of over 20 government and
military witnesses whose credentials could not be questioned. The
information revealed in their testimony clearly did not benefit them
personally. In fact, it threatened their careers. Yet though these brave
individuals testified in public with large numbers of reporters present,
major news sources in the US gave little significant coverage to this
major occurrence. The media was clearly complicit in downplaying this
disturbing information. Since my eyes were opened in 2001, I have
dedicated myself to uncovering all that is going on behind the scenes. I
discovered and became deeply involved with a loosely organized
international network of researchers who have committed themselves to
researching major cover-ups of which very few are aware, and to
spreading the word, so that we might all work together to return to a
full, open democracy which supports all people in our good world. In
early 2003, I established the website WantToKnow.info in order to make
the results of this research available to the public. On this website,
you will find concise summaries of reliable facts and information on a
number of major cover-ups. All information is verifiable using the
sources provided. To understand why all of this disturbing information
isn't getting extensive media coverage, I invite you to spend some time
exploring the powerful, reliable information available at
http:/www.WantToKnow.info. Take a look at our "Best Information" page,
and our carefully compiled information centers and news article
summaries listed in the left column of each webpage. To learn more about
the dedicated international team of researchers involved with

caring. Please help to spread this vitally important news by emailing
