Isn't it amazing? And the whole thing is happening here as well. We have
Representative Bliley of Virginia who has managed to rush through his bill
l790 and it is also senate bill 880. I don't know if it's passed the senate
yet, but it probably has, and of course old Republican-issues-supporter Bill
Clinton will sign it into law, and it not only messes with the public's right
to know, but gives jail time to those responsible for letting them find out.
I just love to see us working along with other governments to insure that
freedoms of any kind are curtailed. Happy Fourth of July. Prudy

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
