Planned American Dictatorship Has Started Creation of Their "Thought Police "

Subtitle: We have expected this type of law since the attacks of 9/11. While California was burning, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a "Thought Crime" bill which will classify Patriot and/or Christian dissidents as "Homegrown Terrorists"!

Since the 9/11 attacks, Cutting Edge has been warning that the Illuminati was planning to use the attacks as cover for implementing a severe dictatorship upon America. Gradually, and always operating under the guise of "saving American freedom", Skull & Bones President Bush has cooperated with an equally committed Illuminist Congress, has consistently passed laws which remove all our freedoms and Constitutional protections.

If you have ever actually read Patriot Acts 1 and 2, you will realize that our government can arrest anyone on any pretense, without specific charges, with no right to a lawyer, no right for a public jury trial, and no right to appeal any sentence. Furthermore, the victim can be jailed at a secret location, his family has no right to know where he is, and he can be executed secretly and buried just as secretly, with the government under no requirement to notify the family that he was executed.

The only reason we Americans still think we are free is that our government leaders have decided to not implement any of these draconian laws right away. Following the example set by Adolf Hitler, our leaders are gradually setting these dictatorial laws in place but not implementing them until the total Plan is ready to set in motion. When the time has come for the next terrorist attack and/or the next environmental disaster to occur, FEMA and/or Homeland Security can totally dissolve our Constitutional government, and start arresting dissidents, completely protected by law. Again, this is the path traveled by Adolf Hitler

The Horror of H.R. 1955: "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007"

NEWS BRIEF: "House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill", BY Lee Rogers, Rogue Government.com, 10-25-2007

"The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet, and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism."

Please note the following troubling provisions:

1) Civilian populations of the United States -- American citizens -- are targeted. Starting in late, 2001, Cutting Edge warned repeatedly that the danger in disallowing non-citizens their normal rights under American law was that the day would soon come when native-born American citizens would be disallowed their Constitutional rights. But, because the targets following 9/11 were Islamic terrorists, the average American on the street uttered not one word of protest.

Now this bill substantiates the truth of the Cutting Edge position: American citizens were the ultimate targets after all!

2) "Vague language" is always the friend of the dictator, and always proves the complete undoing of the dissident.

3) American citizens who are charged under the provisions of this bill will be called, "Homegrown Terrorists", thus allowing the government to bring to bear the entire variety of the Terrorist bills passed since 9/11.

Now, let us return to our feature article:

"Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill."

The House of Representatives is comprised of 435 members! This means that 93% of the total House voted to sell out the freedoms and Constitutional guarantees of every American citizen! Democrats and Republicans alike voted for this dictatorial bill. Once again, the Cutting Edge teaching that there is no difference between Republican and Democrat is fully substantiated. We have always taught that the two major American political parties are nothing more, nor less, than the greatest outworking of the Dialectic Struggle (Controlled Conflict Bringing About Controlled Change) in American history.

Do not be deceived on this point: Democrat politicians are just as committed to the New World Order Plan as are Republicans. There is no meaningful political opposition in America today, and has not been since the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) was established in 1921. This vote on this dictatorial plan is an excellent example in point: both Democrat and Republican representatives voted "Yea" on this horrific bill, in overwhelming numbers.

Now, this bill goes to the Senate, where we can expect similar passage, probably during a time when people's attention is diverted by a breaking news story. The House passed this bill while people's attention was diverted by the raging wildfires in California.

Let us return to our feature article:

"First let’s take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill. The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn’t specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government ... Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime. The definition as defined in the bill is shown below."

"`(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change.

"The definition of homegrown terrorism uses equally vague language to further define thought crime. The bill includes the planned use of force or violence as homegrown terrorism which could be interpreted as thinking about using force or violence. Not only that but the definition is so vaguely defined, that petty crimes could even fall into the category of homegrown terrorism. The definition as defined in the bill is shown below."

" `(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

"Section 899B of the bill goes over the findings of Congress as it pertains to homegrown terrorism. Particularly alarming is that the bill mentions the Internet as a main source for terrorist propaganda. The bill even mentions streams in obvious reference to many of the patriot and pro-constitution Internet radio networks that have been formed. It also mentions that homegrown terrorists span all ages and races indicating that the Congress is stating that everyone is a potential terrorist. Even worse is that Congress states in their findings that they should look at draconian police states like Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom as models to defeat homegrown terrorists. Literally, these findings of Congress fall right in line with the growing patriot community."

"The biggest joke of all is that this section also says that any measure to prevent violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism should not violate the constitutional rights of citizens. However, the definition of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as they are defined in section 899A are themselves unconstitutional. The Constitution does not allow the government to arrest people for thought crimes, so any promises not to violate the constitutional rights of citizens are already broken by their own definitions."

We are closer than ever to the concentration camps planned by the Illuminati once the next major terrorist attack hits, or the next major environmental crisis occurs. Our video, above, "Barbed Wire Over America" shows some of the new concentration camps completed and waiting for its inmates to arrive. As David Wegener, of Hope For America, warns in this video, the time for repentance is speedy by, as the approach of the earthly representatives of the "enemy of our souls" gets closer every day.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.

God bless you.

Rice, Hadley, Wolfowitz, other Neocons to be subpoenaed in AIPAC/Israel spy case

http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jfqsMUGt_xLUPtGJWuJBhG2dOpCA

WASHINGTON (AFP) — A judge ruled Friday that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and White House National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley can be subpoenaed to testify in a sensitive spying case that has focused attention on Israel's powerful US lobbying.

Federal court judge T.S. Ellis ruled to allow the request by lawyers for Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, former employees of the influential pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to subpoena Rice, Hadley and 13 other current and former top government officials to testify in the case, according to court documents.

Rosen and Weissman, accused of passing secret US defense information to unauthorized people while they worked for AIPAC, hope the testimony of the government officials will support their defense that they were not engaged in spying.

"The defendants claim that testimony from these current and former officials will tend to show that the overt acts reflect nothing more than the well-established official Washington practice of engaging in 'back-channel' communication," according to Friday's ruling issued in Alexandria, Virginia.

The White House and the State Department declined to comment on the ruling, which rejected government arguments that the officials' testimony in the case, which involves key issues of national security, would be immaterial and even harmful to the defendants.

"We are aware of the order authorizing the potential issuance of subpoenas in the Rosen and Weissman case should the case go to trial," said National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

"It is our understanding that no subpoenas have been issued at this time. We cannot comment further because this is an ongoing criminal prosecution."

"We are not going to comment on an ongoing legal matter," said State Department spokesman Tom Casey.

Rosen and Weissman and Department of Defense official Lawrence Franklin were charged in 2005 under the Espionage Act with conspiracy to communicate national defense information after they were documented in a lengthy FBI investigation sharing sensitive US intelligence with each other and with Israel.

US officials alleged that between 1999 and 2004 Franklin passed secrets to Israel using AIPAC as the conduit; at the time Rosen was the lobby's policy director and Weissman an analyst on Iran.

The sealed indictments, according to court documents, record 57 overt acts in the mishandling of the secrets, including meetings and telephone calls involving communicating the information with both US and foreign nationals.

The intelligence involved terrorist activities in Central Asia, US intelligence and policy regarding Middle Eastern countries, and Al Qaeda, according to the court documents.

Rosen and Weissman maintain that the secrets were not closely held by the US government and their disclosure did no damage to the country, the court documents said.

Franklin, a former assistant to former undersecretary of defense Douglas Feith, pleaded guilty after a series of closed hearings and was sentenced in January 2006 to 12 years and seven months in prison and a 10,000 dollar fine.

The pre-trial ruling will allow Rosen and Weissman's lawyers to proceed with subpoenas for Rice, Hadley, former senior State Department officials Richard Armitage, Marc Grossman, Matthew Bryza and William Burns, former top defense department officials Feith and Paul Wolfowitz, and others from US defense, diplomatic and national security circles.

For 15 of 20 requested subpoenas, Ellis rejected government arguments that the testimonies would be immaterial to the case and unfavorable to the defense. Specific explanations on each of the cases were to be placed in classified, sealed files, Ellis said.

Protected from testifying for reasons that were not revealed: retired Marine Corps General Anthony Zinni, former US diplomats Dennis Ross, Mark Parris and Edward Walker, and former national security advisor Bruce Reidel.

The case is expected to go to trial next January.

Memos Prove Rumsfeld Directed Psychological Terror Campaign

Hyping climate of fear, threat of violence to achieve political objectives is the very definition of terrorism.

THE TERMINATOR ...HUMAN EMOTION

By David Icke

I know from long personal experience the effect on the body of emotion and stress. The pressure of my life and the virtual absence of any 'chill out' time or periods of peace were killing me, no doubt about it, and increasingly quickly, too. I was going down and down with the vortex of stress and pressure that was engulfing me with no respite.

There was a time in 2003 when I was under particular stress that I had excruciating pain in my neck, the worst I have ever experienced. Mike Lambert said immediately that it was caused by stressed emotion and you realise that common phrases like someone or something being 'a pain in the neck' are based on fact.

Mike was saying that the emotion of fear is connected to the kidneys and anger to the liver and gallbladder. That's why we refer to something as 'galling' or say that someone is 'venting their bile' (which is produced by the gallbladder). The emotional trauma or stress affects the flow of the gallbladder meridian and this imbalance is passed on to the neck further up the same energy line.

The gallbladder meridian passes through the backside and affects the sciatic nerve - hence we rightly refer to people who give us stress as a 'pain in the arse'. Mike was also saying that you can see a greeny-blue tinge to the skin near the eyes of people who are feeling extremely envious and so they are literally 'green with envy'.

Attacking Iran For Israel?

By Ray McGovern
01 November, 2007
Consortiumnews.com
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is at her mushroom-cloud hyperbolic best, and this time Iran is the target. Her claim last week that “the policies of Iran constitute perhaps the single greatest challenge to American security interests in the Middle East and around the world” is simply too much of a stretch.

To gauge someone’s reliability, one depends largely on prior experience. Sadly, Rice’s credibility suffers in comparison with Mohammed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Basing his judgment on the findings of IAEA inspectors in Iran, ElBaradei reports that there is no evidence of an active nuclear weapons program there.

If this sounds familiar it is, in fact, déjà vu. ElBaradei said the same thing about Iraq before it was attacked. But three days before the invasion, American nuclear expert Dick Cheney told NBC’s Tim Russert, “I think Mr. ElBaradei is, frankly, wrong.”

Here we go again. As in the case of Iraq, US intelligence has been assiduously looking for evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran; but, alas, in vain. Burned by the bogus “proof” adduced for Iraq-the uranium from Africa, the aluminum tubes-the administration has shied away from fabricating nuclear-related “evidence.” Are Bush and Cheney again relying on the Rumsfeld dictum, that “the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence?” There is a simpler answer.

Cat Out of the Bag

The Israeli ambassador to the US, Sallai Meridor, let the cat out of the bag while speaking at the American Jewish Committee luncheon on Oct. 22. In remarks paralleling those of Rice, Meridor said Iran is the chief threat to Israel. Heavy on the chutzpah, he then served gratuitous notice on Washington that countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions will take a “united United States in this matter,” lest the Iranians conclude, “come January ‘09, they have it their own way.”

Meridor stressed that “very little time” remained to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. How so? Even were there to be a nuclear program hidden from the IAEA, no serious observer expects Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon much sooner than five years from now.

Truth be told, every other year since 1995 US intelligence has been predicting that Iran could have a nuclear weapon in about five years. It has become downright embarrassing-like a broken record, punctuated only by so-called “neo-conservatives” like James Woolsey, who in August publicly warned that the U.S. may have no choice but to bomb Iran in order to halt Tehran’s nuclear weapons program.

Woolsey, self-described “anchor of the Presbyterian wing of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs,” put it this way: “I’m afraid that within, well, at worst, a few months; at best, a few years; they [the Iranians] could have the bomb.”

The day before Ambassador Meridor’s unintentionally revealing remark, Vice President Dick Cheney reiterated, “We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” That remark followed closely on President George W. Bush’s apocalyptic warning of World War III, should Tehran acquire the knowledge to produce a nuclear weapon.

The Israelis appear convinced they have extracted a promise from Bush and Cheney that they will help Israel nip Iran’s nuclear program in the bud before they leave office. That is why the Israeli ambassador says there is “very little time”-less than 15 months.

Never mind that there is no evidence that the Iranian nuclear program is any more weapons-related than the one Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld persuaded President Gerald Ford to approve in 1976. Westinghouse and General Electric successfully lobbied for approval to sell the Shah for $6.4 billion the kind of nuclear facilities that Iran is now building, but the deal fell through when the Shah was ousted in 1979.

With 200-300 nuclear weapons in its arsenal, the Israelis enjoy a nuclear monopoly in the Middle East. They mean to keep that monopoly and Israel’s current leaders are pressing for the US to obliterate Iran’s fledgling nuclear program.

Anyone aware of Iran’s ability to retaliate realizes this would bring disaster to the whole region and beyond. But this has not stopped Cheney and Bush in the past. And the real rationale is reminiscent of the one revealed by Philip Zelikow, confidant of Condoleezza Rice, former member of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, and later executive director of the 9/11 Commission. On Oct. 10 2002, Zelikow said this to a crowd at the University of Virginia:

“Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I’ll tell you what I think the real threat is-it’s the threat to Israel. And this is the threat that dare not speak its name…the American government doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell.”

Harbinger?

The political offensive against Iran coalesced as George W. Bush began his second term, with Cheney out in front pressing for an attack on its nuclear-related facilities. During a Jan. 20, 2005 interview with MSNBC, just hours before Bush’s second inauguration, Cheney put Iran “right at the top of the list of trouble spots,” and noted that negotiations and UN sanctions might fail to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Cheney then added, with remarkable nonchalance:

“Given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards.”

Does this not sound like the so-called “Cheney plan” being widely discussed in the media today? An Israeli attack; Iranian retaliation; the United States springing to the defense of its “ally” Israel?

A big fan of preemption, the vice president was the first U.S. official to speak approvingly of Israel’s air attack on Iraq’s reactor at Osirak in 1981. He included that endorsement in his important speech of Aug. 26, 2002, in which he set the terms of reference for the subsequent campaign to persuade Congress to approve war with Iraq.

Cheney has done little to disguise his attraction to Israel’s penchant to preempt. Ten years after the attack on Osirak, then-Defense Secretary Cheney reportedly gave Israeli Maj. Gen. David Ivri, commander of the Israeli Air Force, a satellite photo of the Iraqi nuclear reactor destroyed by U.S.-built Israeli aircraft. On the photo Cheney penned, “Thanks for the outstanding job on the Iraqi nuclear program in 1981.”

Nothing is known of Ivri’s response, but it is a safe bet it was along the lines of “we could not have done it without your country’s help.” Indeed, although the U.S. officially condemned the attack (the Reagan administration was supporting Saddam Hussein’s Iraq at the time), intelligence and operational support that the Pentagon shared with the Israelis made a major contribution to the success of the Israeli raid. With Vice President Cheney now calling the shots, similar support is a virtual certainty in the event of an Israeli attack on Iran.

It is no secret that former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon was already pressing in 2003 for an early preemptive strike, insisting that Iran was likely to obtain a nuclear weapon much earlier than the time forecast by U.S. intelligence. Sharon even brought his own military adviser to brief Bush with aerial photos of Iranian nuclear-related installations.

More troubling still, in the fall of 2004 Gen. Brent Scowcroft, who served as national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush and as Chair of the younger Bush’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, made some startling comments to the Financial Times.

A master of discretion with the media, Scowcroft nonetheless saw fit to make public his conclusion that Sharon had Bush “mesmerized;” that he had our president “wrapped around his little finger.” Needless to say, Scowcroft was immediately ousted from the advisory board and is now persona non grata at the White House in which he worked for so many years.

An Unstable Infatuation

George W. Bush first met Sharon in 1998, when the Texas governor was taken on a tour of the Middle East by Matthew Brooks, then executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Sharon was foreign minister at the time and took Bush on a helicopter tour of the Israeli occupied territories. An Aug. 3, 2006 McClatchy wire story by Ron Hutcheson quotes Matthew Brooks:

“If there’s a starting point for George W. Bush’s attachment to Israel, it’s the day in late 1998, when he stood on a hilltop where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, and, with eyes brimming with tears, read aloud from his favorite hymn, ‘Amazing Grace.’ He was very emotional. It was a tear-filled experience. He brought Israel back home with him in his heart. I think he came away profoundly moved.”

Bush made gratuitous but revealing reference to that trip at the first meeting of his National Security Council on Jan. 30, 2001. After announcing he would abandon the decades-long role of “honest broker” between Israelis and Palestinians and would tilt pronouncedly toward Israel, Bush said he had decided to take Sharon “at face value” and unleash him.

At that point the president brought up his trip to Israel with the Republican Jewish Coalition and the flight over Palestinian camps, but there was no sense of concern for the lot of the Palestinians. In Ron Suskind’s Price of Loyalty, then-Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, who took part at the NSC meeting, quotes Bush: “Looked real bad down there,” the president said with a frown. He then said it was time to end America’s efforts in the region: “I don’t see much we can do over there at this point.”

O’Neill reported that Colin Powell, the newly minted but nominal secretary of state, was taken completely by surprise at this nonchalant jettisoning of more nuanced and balanced longstanding policy. Powell demurred, warning that this would unleash Sharon and “the consequences could be dire, especially for the Palestinians.” According to O’Neill, Bush just shrugged, saying, “Sometimes a show of strength by one side can really clarify things.” O’Neill says that Powell seemed “startled.”

It is a safe bet that the vice president was in no way startled.

What Now?

The only thing that seems to be standing in the way of a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is unusual-but-sensible foot-dragging by the U.S. military. It seems likely that the senior military leadership has told the president and Cheney: This time let us brief you on what to expect on Day 2, on Week 4, on Month 6-and on the many serious things Iran can do to Israel, and to us in Iraq and elsewhere.

CENTCOM commander Admiral William Fallon is reliably reported to have said, “We are not going to do Iran on my watch.” And in an online Q-and-A on Sept. 27, award-winning Washington Post reporter Dana Priest spoke of a possible “revolt” if pilots were ordered to fly missions against Iran. She added:

“This is a little bit of hyperbole, but not much. Just look at what Gen. Casey, the Army chief, has said…that the tempo of operations in Iraq would make it very hard for the military to respond to a major crisis elsewhere. Besides, it’s not the ‘war’ or ‘bombing’ part that’s difficult; it’s the morning after and all the days after that. Haven’t we learned that (again) from Iraq?”

How about Congress? Could it act as a brake on Bush and Cheney? Forget it. If the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) with its overflowing coffers supports an attack on Iran, so will most of our spineless lawmakers. Already, AIPAC has succeeded in preventing legislation that would have required the president to obtain advance authorization for an attack on Iran.

And for every Admiral Fallon, there is someone like the inimitable retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, a close associate of James Woolsey, “cakewalk” Ken Adelman and other “neo-cons.” The air campaign “will be easy,” says McInerney, a FOX pundit who was a rabid advocate of shock and awe over Iraq. “Ahmadinejad has nothing in Iran that we can’t penetrate,” he adds, and several hundred aircraft, including stealth bombers, will be enough to do the trick:

“Forty-eight hours duration, hitting 2,500 aim points to take out their nuclear facilities, their air defense facilities, their air force, their navy, their Shahab-3 retaliatory missiles, and finally their command and control. And then let the Iranian people take their country back.”

And the likely White House rationale for war? Since, particularly with the fiasco of Iraq as backdrop, it will be a hard sell to promote the idea of an imminent threat from a nuclear-armed Iran, the White House PR machine has already begun focusing on other “evidence”- amorphous so far-indicating that Iran is supporting those who are “killing our troops in Iraq.”

The scary thing is that Cheney is more likely to use the McInerneys and Woolseys than the Fallons and Caseys in showing the president how “easily” it can all be done-Cakewalk II.

Madness.

It is not as though our country has lacked statesmen wise enough to warn us against foreign entanglements and about those who have difficulty distinguishing between the strategic interests of the United States and those of other countries:

“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation facilitates the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, infuses into one the enmities of the other, and betrays the former into participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.”
(George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796)

Bloomberg Remark Sparks Heated 9/11 Hero Debate
NEW YORK (AP) ―

The recent disclosure that a police detective who died of a lung ailment after toiling for months at ground zero may have been improperly injecting drugs has prompted a heated debate in New York City over what constitutes a hero.

The argument over the life and death of James Zadroga echoes a situation in Boston, where two lauded firefighters who died in a blaze were later found to have been intoxicated on the job. One had a blood alcohol level of 0.27 when he died. The other had cocaine in his system.

The disclosures revived old concerns about police officers and firefighters, whose high-stress jobs have long been thought to make them prime candidates for drug and alcohol abuse.
