GM crops and food; the so called 'war on terror'; the global energy crisis; the emerging surveillance society; and solutions - changing the way we think The Wessex region of England was once the realm of the ancient Anglo-Saxon Kings. It was later immortalised in the Victorian novels of Thomas Hardy. Named after this region, nlpwessex was established during the 1990s in response to an international initiative to bring a more holistic and innovative approach into the sphere of global politics. In the event the political arena proved mainly unfertile ground, leading to a withdrawal from this area of activity in 2000. But not before engaging in some notable endeavours. Amongst these was the part played in a global campaign to raise public awareness of the introduction of genetically modified foods into the world food chain in 1996. In the UK the campaign produced the first leaflet to be distributed on a mass scale onto the streets of cities, towns, and villages, informing the general public of the emerging situation - one which official bodies had made no attempt to publicise. A follow-on letter writing campaign resulted in the first supermarket chain in the world adopting a ban of GM ingredients in its its own brand products. Many more then followed. In 1998 nlpwessex was the first group to publicly call for the establishment of GM-free zones by local government. Since then thousands of GM free-zones have been declared across Europe, and more beyond. In the new millennium the focus also turned to alerting people to other global problems of similarly pressing importance, some deeply disturbing. These have included the largely hidden factors at play behind the so called 'war on terror', the emerging global energy crisis, and the fundamental relationship between the two. In particular the pushing for a British parliamentary question in December 2002 concerning British citizen Omar Saeed Sheikh, one of the alleged organisers of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, touched on a subject which continues to raise vital and highly sensitive questions. Those questions have been most prominently kept alive, though only flickeringly so, by three subsequent events. Firstly, by a remarkable statement made by the President of Pakistan, General Musharraf, in September 2006. Musharraf claimed that during the 1990s Sheikh "was recruited by the British intelligence agency MI6" who "sent him to Kosovo to join the jihad" (unlike the Iraq war most people remain blissfully unaware to this day of the equally large undercover crimes and frauds committed by Britain and the United States in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, including covert support for Islamic terrorists). Previously former US federal prosecutor John Loftus had also claimed that MI6 had secretly used the British extremist group Al-Muhajiroun to recruit Muslim jihadis to fight in Kosovo. Former senior Pentagon official, Michael Maloof, has also since reported that after the cold war "the United States worked closely with Pakistan's predominantly Sunni Inter-Services Intelligence organization. Through ISI, the United States recruited Sunni mujahadeen by staging them in Chechnya to fight in Bosnia and later in Kosovo." Secondly, the Omar Sheikh dimension to the so called 'war on terror' has been kept alive by a film about the murdered Wall St Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The film, 'A Mighty Heart', was released by Paramount in June 2007. Responsible for Pearl's kidnap Sheikh is a key figure in the story line. The full depth of Sheikh's geopolitical connections is not explored, however. Beyond his role as an agent for MI6, Sheikh's connections to Pakistani intelligence (the 'ISI') were briefly and hesitatingly discussed by Pearl's widow, Mariane, in a web interview with Foreign Policy magazine in May 2007 conducted in anticipation of the launch of the film. During the interview Mrs Pearl says, "I don’t know if I can talk about them publicly right now. Everything is related. Of course, there’s his relationship with the ISI, but there’s also his relationship with other organizations and other countries. It’s complicated and it’s murky." In her book published in 2003, from which the film takes its name, Mariane Pearl specifically refers to Sheikh's alleged involvement with the head of Pakistani intelligence, Lt General Mahmoud, and the funding of 9/11. Thirdly, in January 2008, former FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds tells Britain's Sunday Times that she has evidence that Lt General Mahmoud led a corrupt scheme within the United States to acquire nuclear and other American state secrets. The scheme allegedly involved assistance from a top level US government official at the State Department. The official concerned, thought by some to be Marc Grossman, is also alleged by Edmonds to have protected a number of foreigners suspected by the FBI of being involved in 9/11. Grossman, appointed Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs at the State Department in 2001, had met with Mahmoud in Washington in the week preceding 9/11 (the Sunday Times says it knows the name of the person accused by Edmonds but has not disclosed it). Meanwhile the release of 'A Mighty Heart' in 2007 prompted fellow journalist Asra Nomani, with whom Pearl and his wife were staying at the time of his abduction on 23 January 2002, to make the following plea: "I hope audiences will walk away from the film with an important message: the story doesn't end with this film. I hope viewers will understand that we're still navigating through the confusing labyrinth of Danny's kidnapping and murder trying to understand what really happened. The mystery is still not solved.... Over the last five years since Danny's kidnapping, political subterfuge has defined the effort to understand what really happened to Danny and realize justice in his murder." Why that may be has already been explored in a number of telling accounts published in Britain's Guardian newspaper. Those accounts reveal much about the real nature of our world at this troubled time in history. Omar Sheikh features prominently in them. And Sheikh clearly remains a central figure in Nomani's own on-going journalistic investigations. Interviewed in July 2007 by an Indian magazine published in the US Nomani asks "Why did Omar Sheikh's name not come up at all when Danny went missing in spite of his having kidnapped Americans in the past? .... it's not good enough to just assume he had links to the ISI." A New York Times/CBS poll conducted in 2006 found that only 16% of Americans think the Bush Administration has told the truth about what it knew prior to the attacks on Washington and New York in September 2001. There is little doubt that the full story of 9/11 is being kept from the public. In December 2002 Senator Bob Graham, co-chairman of the official joint House and Senate investigation into 9/11, told TV viewers in the United States that the inquiry found evidence "that there were foreign governments involved in facilitating the activities of at least some of the terrorists in the United States.... most of that information is classified .... at least some of the terrorists were assisted not just in financing - although that was part of it - by a sovereign foreign government ..... It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now." Besides Saudi Arabia, partially leaked information held by the FBI would appear to indicate that one of the governments involved is that of Pakistan, a country with whom the United States has shared a long-standing goal of expanding geo-strategic reach into central Asia, including into Afghanistan and Iran. The United States has pursued that goal especially vigorously since 9/11, including through covert support for the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK - People's Mujahadeen). Previously allied to Saddam Hussein, the MEK is a Marxist muslim group hostile to the government in Tehran and is listed as a terrorist organisation by the US State Department. The nlpwessex email news bulletin service provides periodic updates on these and other unfolding issues around the world. On this web site you can access links to some of the more notable bulletins and related information resources (see side bars). From genetically modified foods to the so called 'war on terror', the core perspective presented by nlpwessex is that the challenges faced by humanity at the beginning of the 21st Century are immense. They cannot realistically be addressed by continuing to pursue or embellish the failed and self-destructive 'solutions' of the past. A major change in thinking at both an individual and collective level is urgently required. This change necessarily has to be of a consciousness-based type way beyond anything currently provided by the failing societal leadership so prominent around the world today.
