PRESS RELEASE - PRESS RELEASE - PRESS RELEASE - PRESS RELEASE
INVESTIGATING ALLEGED HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AT A JOINT US
GOVERNMENT/EXTRATERRESTRIAL BASE AT DULCE, NEW MEXICO
A University Researcher based in Washington DC., and US
Foreign Policy book author, has released an Independent
Report investigating alleged human rights abuses at a joint
US government-extraterrestrial underground base at Dulce
New Mexico. Dr Michael E. Salla claims there is sufficient
evidence to begin immediate investigations by US Congressional
committees and independent human rights organizations into the
existence of such an underground base and in alleged human
rights abuses having occurred there. Referring to evidence
provided by Dr Paul Bennewitz, an electronics specialist from
Albuquerque, New Mexico; and testimony of 'whistleblowers' who
worked for a number of US corporations that serviced military
awarded contracts at the alleged joint underground base,
Dr Salla establishes a credible foundation for investigating
allegations of human rights abuses at the base.
In his Report, Dr Salla investigates allegations that these
human rights abuses involve genetic experiments upon human
subjects, abduction of civilians for mind control and genetic
experiments, humans being placed into cold storage for later
use by extraterrestrial races, and humans being used as a
nutritional source by resident extraterrestrial races.
The alarming claims and issues raised in the Report are rigorously
analyzed in a scholarly style by the author in the 18,000 word
Report with over 100 endnote references. Dr Salla's final conclusion
is that evidence points to the existence of such a joint
government-extraterrestrial base, and that there is a serious
possibility that human rights abuses have occurred there
and may continue to occur.
The entire Report - "The Dulce Report: Investigating
Alleged Human Rights Abuses at a Joint US Government-Extraterrestrial
Base at Dulce, New Mexico" - can be read online at:

Glial cell abnormalities in major psychiatric disorders:
the evidence and implications.
Cotter DR, Pariante CM, Everall IP.
Section of Experimental Neuropathology and Psychiatry,
Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London,
DeCrespigny Park, London, UK.
Recent quantitative post-mortem investigations of the
cerebral cortex have convincingly demonstrated cortical
glial cell loss in subjects with major depression.
Evidence is also mounting that glial cell loss may also
be a feature of schizophrenia. These findings coincide
with a re-evaluation of the importance of glial cells in
normal cortical function. In addition to their traditional
roles in neuronal migration and inflammatory processes,
glia are now accepted to have roles in providing trophic
support to neurons, neuronal metabolism, and the formation
of synapses and neurotransmission. Consequently, reduced
cortical glial cell numbers could be responsible for some
of the pathological changes in schizophrenia and depression,
including reduced neuronal size, reduced levels of synaptic
proteins, and abnormalities of cortical neurotransmission.
Additionally, as astrocytes provide the energy requirements
of neurons, deficient astrocyte function could account for
aspects of the functional magnetic imaging abnormalities
found in these disorders. We discuss the possible basis of
glial cell loss in these disorders and suggest that elevated
levels of glucocorticoids, due to illness-related stress or
to hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal may
down-regulate glial activity and so predispose to, or
exacerbate psychiatric illness through enhanced
excitotoxicity. The potential therapeutic impact of agents
which up-regulate glial activity or normalise glial cell
numbers is also discussed.

AL QAEDA'S AGENDA FOR IRAQ
By AMIR TAHERI
September 4, 2003 -- 'IT is not the American war machine
that should be of the utmost concern to Muslims.
What threatens the future of Islam, in fact its very
survival, is American democracy." This is the message of
a new book, just published by al Qaeda in several Arab
countries. The author of "The Future of Iraq and The
Arabian Peninsula After The Fall of Baghdad" is Yussuf
al-Ayyeri, one of Osama bin Laden's closest associates
since the early '90s. A Saudi citizen also known by the
nom de guerre Abu Muhammad, he was killed in a gun battle
with security forces in Riyadh last June.
The book is published by The Centre for Islamic Research
and Studies, a company set up by bin Laden in 1995 with
branches in New York and London (now closed). Over the
past eight years, it has published more than 40 books by
al Qaeda "thinkers and researchers" including militants
such as Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's No. 2.
Al-Ayyeri first made his name in the mid '90s as a
commander of the Farouq camp in eastern Afghanistan,
where al Qaeda and the Taliban trained thousands of
"volunteers for martyrdom."
Al-Ayyeri argues that the history of mankind is the
story of "perpetual war between belief and unbelief."
Over the millennia, both have appeared in different
guises. As far as belief is concerned, the absolutely
final version is represented by Islam, which "annuls all
other religions and creeds." Thus, Muslims can have only
one goal: converting all humanity to Islam and "effacing
the final traces of all other religions, creeds and
ideologies." Unbelief (kufr) has come in numerous forms
and shapes, but with a single objective: to destroy faith
in God. In the West, unbelief has succeeded in making a
majority of people forget God and worship the world.
Islam, however, is resisting the trend because Allah
means to give it final victory.
Al-Ayyeri then shows how various forms of unbelief
attacked the world of Islam in the past century or so,
to be defeated in one way or another.
The first form of unbelief to attack was "modernism"
(hidatha), which led to the caliphate's destruction
and the emergence in the lands of Islam of states
based on ethnic identities and territorial dimensions
rather than religious faith.
The second was nationalism, which, imported from Europe,
divided Muslims into Arabs, Persians, Turks and others.
Al-Ayyeri claims that nationalism has now been crushed
in almost all Muslim lands. He claims that a true Muslim
is not loyal to any particular nation-state.
The third form of unbelief is socialism, which includes
communism. That, too, has been defeated and eliminated
from the Muslim world, Al-Ayyeri asserts. He presents
Ba'athism, the Iraqi ruling party's ideology under
Saddam Hussein, as the fourth form of unbelief to afflict
Muslims, especially Arabs. Ba'athism (also the official
ideology of the Syrian regime) offers Arabs a mixture of
pan-Arabism and socialism as an alternative to Islam.
Al-Ayyeri says Muslims "should welcome the destruction
of Ba'athism in Iraq."
"The end of Ba'ath rule in Iraq is good for Islam and
Muslims," he writes. "Where the banner of Ba'ath has
fallen, shall rise the banner of Islam."
The author notes as "a paradox" the fact that all the
various forms of unbelief that threatened Islam were
defeated with the help of the Western powers, and more
specifically the United States.
The "modernizing" movement in the Muslim world was
ultimately discredited when European imperial powers
forced their domination on Muslim lands, turning the
Westernized elite into their "hired lackeys."
The nationalists were defeated and discredited in wars
led against them by various Western powers or, in the
case of Nasserism in Egypt, by Israel.
The West also gave a hand in defeating socialism and
communism in the Muslim world. The most dramatic example
of this came when America helped the Afghan mujaheeden
destroy the Soviet-backed communist regime in Kabul.
And now the United States and its British allies have
destroyed Ba'athism in Iraq and may have fatally
undermined it in Syria as well.
What Al-Ayyeri sees now is a "clean battlefield" in
which Islam faces a new form of unbelief. This, he
labels "secularist democracy." This threat is "far
more dangerous to Islam" than all its predecessors
combined. The reasons, he explains in a whole chapter,
must be sought in democracy's "seductive capacities."
This form of "unbelief" persuades the people that they
are in charge of their destiny and that, using their
collective reasoning, they can shape policies and pass
laws as they see fit. That leads them into ignoring
the "unalterable laws" promulgated by God for the whole
of mankind, and codified in the Islamic shariah
(jurisprudence) until the end of time.
The goal of democracy, according to Al-Ayyeri, is to
"make Muslims love this world, forget the next world
and abandon jihad." If established in any Muslim
country for a reasonably long time, democracy could
lead to economic prosperity, which, in turn, would
make Muslims "reluctant to die in martyrdom" in
defense of their faith.
He says that it is vital to prevent any normalization
and stabilization in Iraq. Muslim militants should make
sure that the United States does not succeed in holding
elections in Iraq and creating a democratic government.
"If democracy comes to Iraq, the next target [for
democratization] would be the whole of the Muslim
world," Al-Ayyeri writes.
The al Qaeda ideologist claims that the only Muslim
country already affected by "the beginning of
democratization" and thus in "mortal danger" is Turkey.
"Do we want what happened in Turkey to happen to all
Muslim countries?" he asks. "Do we want Muslims to
refuse taking part in jihad and submit to secularism,
which is a Zionist-Crusader concoction?"
Al-Ayyeri says Iraq would become the graveyard of
secular democracy, just as Afghanistan became the
graveyard of communism. The idea is that the Americans,
faced with mounting casualties in Iraq, will "just run
away," as did the Soviets in Afghanistan. This is
because the Americans love this world and are concerned
about nothing but their own comfort, while Muslims
dream of the pleasures that martyrdom offers in paradise.
"In Iraq today, there are only two sides," Al-Ayyeri
asserts. "Here we have a clash of two visions of the
world and the future of mankind. The side prepared to
accept more sacrifices will win."
Al-Ayyeri's analysis may sound naive; he also gets most
of his facts wrong. But he is right in reminding the
world that what happens in Iraq could affect other Arab
countries - in fact, the whole of the Muslim world.
