Top US court rejects CIA kidnap case

The Supreme Court Tuesday threw out a case against the US government brought by a Lebanese-born German, who says he was kidnapped by the CIA and tortured before being released months later without charge.

The court did not give any reason for rejecting the case brought by Khaled el-Masri, an unemployed former car salesman and father of six, who says he was abducted by US agents in the Macedonian capital Skopje on December 31, 2003.

He was demanding an apology from the US administration and 75,000 dollars in compensation, alleging he was flown to a prison in Afghanistan for questioning before being released five months later in Albania, without any explanation.

Masri's case is one of the most-high profile cases of the CIA's "rendition" program under which terror suspects are seized in one country and taken to another for questioning under torture.

The US administration had called on the Supreme Court to reject the case for reasons of national security, arguing it could neither confirm or deny Masri's allegations without revealing the secret activities of the CIA.

Two earlier suits in lower US courts were rejected, and Tuesday's Supreme Court ruling closes the door on any further legal action by Masri in the United States.

His lawyers had urged the Supreme Court to clarify the limits of state secrecy, arguing that in past cases national security had limited what evidence could be presented in court, but had not prevented a trial from going ahead.

In documents filed to the Supreme Court last week, Masri's lawyers highlighted that President George W. Bush had already publicly acknowledged the existence of the CIA's rendition program.

Other details of Masri's case had also been made public in news reports, including the plane used to fly him to Afghanistan, they argued.

"As a matter of law and common sense, the government cannot legitimately keep secret what is already widely known," they argued in their deposition.

If the Supreme Court rejected Masri's case, then "the government may engage in torture, declare it a state secret and by virtue of that designation avoid any judicial accountability for conduct that even the government purports to condemn as unlawful under all circumstances.

"Under a system predicated on respect for the rule of law, the government has no privilege to violate our most fundamental legal norms," it added.

Documents supporting the case filed by the rights watchdog Constitution Project called Masri's allegations "extremely disturbing."

"An innocent man, held by American agents for months, drugged, beaten and tortured in violation of US laws and treaties was then unceremoniously dumped in a foreign country after the government realized its mistake," it said.

But the Bush administration argued that if the case went to trial information concerning "highly classified methods and means of the program" would have to be revealed to the court.

Such "a showing could be made only with evidence that exposes how the CIA organizes, staffs and supervises its most sensitive intelligence operations," the government lawyers argued.

The last time the principle of state secrets was examined by the Supreme Court was in 1953, when after a military plane crash it ruled the then government did not have to disclose a military report into the accident to the families of three civilians killed.

A German court in southern Munich in January meanwhile has issued arrest warrants for 13 suspects in Masri's alleged kidnapping.

The normal method of subversion by UK and US 'intelligence' agencies when called to account is protecting 'sources and methods', ie 'defence of the realm' and 'national security' respectively, that is if the accusers are not neutrallised or disposed of. In reality the opposite is true, and the only technical adjective that seems appropriate is bullshit.

As sources are known, methods are known and these are intrinsic to the allegations, the Supreme Court has effectively brought in a verdict against itself and the verdict is guilty; this includes the promotion, protection and wilful involvement in some of the most apalling and depraved savagery the current generation of people could witness, for the sake of a violation of domestic law I include treason. These are ultimate crimes for which Nuremberg provides ample foundation and the case against the Supreme Court is made and in plain view.

Although I mentioned Nuremberg as it broke the chain of command and established personal responsibility, Nuremberg itself was a device used to bury the truth, rather a lot of important truth and a number of people were executed in practice simply because they knew too much. In terms of chain of command, the ringleaders behind the atrocities of the second world war were never even publicly identified.

One of the additional problems this was designed to create exploits victim psychology. Many of the people responsible for what happened to Jewish people were Jewish themselves. Any criticism of Israel is claimed to be an act of anti-semetism, when anti-semetism was deliberately created at the time, partly in order to take over a mineral rich part of Palestine, though the Rothschilds already had investments there. That position is fiercely created and exploited to this day, preventing discussion or more importantly exposure of the plans for a group of crazed megalomaniacs to control and destroy the world with Israel as the base.

Such is the absurd official account of history, few people would believe let alone know that Sir Winston Churchill was a self-proclaimed zionist and descendant of the Rothschilds. In this instance, fact is stranger than fiction.

Those that control media, again people operating under the banner of zionism, can say anything they like and more importantly censor any sensitive truths.

CIA agent Bin Laden was blamed for the atrocities of 9/11, no less absurd than the fact George Bush blames Islam wholesale, the last war in the march to global rule and destruction being a planned war of Zionism against Islam.

I take the simplistic view, those who act out the desire to overthrow the world worship themselves, if that is a faith then power is their god. As a cartel of powerbrokers secretly controlling nations, this is just a crazed cult, just a global version of jonestown. Cunning should not be confused with intellect, only a fool would want to run or destroy the world.

If one takes a paid up member of this cult we have George Bush still at large with questions outstanding over drug dealing, child abuse, murder, torture, genocide and treason to name a few. It would seem absurd to discuss anti-social behaviour of such a nature in the context of religion.

Nuremberg officially related to supreme crimes against humanity which relates to deeds rather than thoughts. Religion, occultism, philosophy or any form of dogma are positions of the mind and as such were specifically excluded, ie religion is a smokescreen and the buck stops with the man in the dock.

"Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
