Pavlychev....In July 1992, the program "Now It Can Be Told" was shown over channels of the American television company NBC. It was devoted to problems of studying the possibilities of using individuals possessing a powerful bio-field for military purposes. It was noted that about $1 million is being spent annually on this work being accomplished by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. People with extrasensory perception were used to detect enemy troop and armament concentration areas and also to search for hostages. http://www.soci.niu.edu/~crypt/other/pavly.htm This may be very heavy for survivors. Philadelphia Inquirer 03-10-2002 Krishnas faced with making amends - Even Hare Krishna officials admit to child abuse in the sect's boarding schools. By Tina Susman NEWSDAY 3/10/02....Thirty-six years after the religious group's first U.S. temple opened in lower Manhattan, Gedeon and 90 other former Krishna children are suing the organization for what they say were years of physical and mental abuse in the schools known as gurukulas. The suit, filed in October in Texas state court, seeks $400 million in damages from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or Iskcon, as the movement is known. Iskcon officials do not deny that abuse occurred, though they dispute its extent. This is hardly the first time a religious group has been accused of abuse. Dozens of sex-abuse suits are pending in the country's Roman Catholic dioceses. Texas lawyer Windle Turley, whose firm represents the Iskcon plaintiffs, won a multimillion-dollar lawsuit in 1998 against the Dallas Catholic Diocese for hiding sexual abuse by a priest. And the Jehovah's Witnesses are the subject of at least two suits by adults who say elders did nothing about reports of abuse in the order. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/2830831.htm An ID idea: Microchips under your skin - by Shannon Tan [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Miami Herald 03-10-02 "....The solution to such emergencies, says Palm Beach-based Applied Digital Solutions, is the VeriChip.

DEBKA 28 Feb 2002 DEBKA-net-weekly: US Special Forces already in Iraq! There are some real "scoops" in the latest intelligence report from Debka, which we received late last night, and which will be posted on our website by noon today. Debka's military sources are indicating that US Special Forces have already crossed into Iraq. Here's a lengthy excerpt from this week's issue: "America, taking a leaf out of its own game plan for the Afghan War, has sent its advance units into Iraq - softly. Very quietly, a small vanguard of US Special Forces crossed from Turkey into north Iraq on Friday, February 15. On January 4, DEBKA-Net-Weekly (in Issue No. 43) predicted the US military offensive against Iraq would begin in February. On February 20, Japan's fifth largest newspaper, Sankei Shimbun was the only other media outlet to pick up the long-awaited deployment. Five months ago, DEBKA-Net-Weekly and DEBKAfile broke the news of the first US Special Forces landing in Afghanistan on September 17, six days after terrorists struck New York and Washington and three weeks ahead of the main force. Now, a knot of commandos is again blazing the trail for the bulk of the US assault force to go in three or four weeks hence. DEBKA-Net-Weekly's military experts therefore expect the main US thrust against Iraq in the second half of March or early April, barring unforeseen circumstances - much sooner than most other experts and media pundits suggest. Our experts add that the Special Forces vanguard has been directed not to recruit Kurdish or other local opposition forces, but to make its way unaided into central Iraq. There, the commandos are to mark out and, in some cases, sabotage military and strategic targets, so as to cripple vital utilities in advance of the main offensive. http://66.96.205.195/~azzam/afghan/news/news.php?id=126 Please note that I may not necessarily agree with this article. It is being presented to give a balanced view. http://www.azzam.com Daily news, articles and interviews on the Jihad in Afghanistan KANDAHAR(Special Report) : .... There have been well-documented attacks, leading to confirmed American deaths in the areas of Kandahar, Girdeez, Khost and Logar. In fact, the Americans are being attacked all over Afghanistan by small Mujahideen guerrilla units. It's almost as if killing American soldiers is becoming a daily routine in Afghanistan, reminding the Muslims of the first Afghan-Soviet war, where the Russians faced a similar fate. Regardless of how one may wish to put it, the truth is that several US helicopters have been shot down and scores of their troops have been killed over the past few days. The US Military seems to have put up a bit of a panicked response to these losses and it seems they have stopped trusting their so-called Afghan allied fighters. The Mujahid Commander Mulla Saifur Rahman Mansoor confirmed that scores of US soldiers were killed and many more US Afghan allied fighters also perished within the first few days of Operation Anaconda. http://www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html How will President George W. Bush personally make millions (if not billions) from the War on Terror? The old fashioned way. He'll inherit it. Meet the Carlyle Group Former World Leaders and Washington Insiders Making Billions in the War on Terrorism Featured Article The ex-presidents' club Oliver Burkeman and Julian Borger Wednesday October 31, 2001 The Guardian It is hard to imagine an address closer to the heart of American power. The offices of the Carlyle Group are on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, midway between the White House and the Capitol building, and within a stone's throw of the headquarters of the FBI and numerous government departments. The address reflects Carlyle's position at the very center of the Washington establishment, but amid the frenetic politicking that has occupied the higher reaches of that world in recent weeks, few have paid it much attention. Elsewhere, few have even heard of it. This is exactly the way Carlyle likes it. For 14 years now, with almost no publicity, the company has been signing up an impressive list of former politicians - including the first President Bush and his secretary of state, James Baker; John Major; one-time World Bank treasurer Afsaneh Masheyekhi and several south-east Asian powerbrokers - and using their contacts and influence to promote the group. Among the companies Carlyle owns are those which make equipment, vehicles and munitions for the US military, and its celebrity employees have long served an ingenious dual purpose, helping encourage investments from the very wealthy while also smoothing the path for Carlyle's defense firms. But since the start of the "war on terrorism", the firm - unofficially valued at $13.5bn - has taken on an added significance. Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least the current president's father. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/mar2002/afgh-m11.shtml By Peter Symonds 11 March 2002.... A number of reports from Gardez point to a different story, however. An article in the Los Angeles Times, for instance, explained that those fighting American troops were being led by Saifur Rahman Mansour, who "to many [was] a home-grown hero," rather than a close associate of Osama bin Laden. Thought to be about 40, Rahman is the son of a former Paktia governor and fought with US-backed Mujaheddin groups against the Soviet installed regime in Kabul in the 1980s. Like many of local militia commanders among the Pashtun tribes in the south and east of Afghanistan, Rahman threw in his lot with the Taliban. The Islamic extremist movement expanded rapidly in the mid-1990s not primarily by defeating opposing militia units but either by buying them off or winning support for their vision of an Islamic state as the alternative to the existing chaos. Once the US compelled Pakistan to end its support for the Taliban, effectively choking off funds and arms, the patchwork of alliances with Pashtun tribal leaders and militia commanders swiftly disintegrated. Afghan officials in Gardez, whose current allegiances lie with the US and its puppet administration in Kabul, all know Rahman. Some fought alongside him during the 1980s as part of the anti-Soviet Mujaheddin which sheltered in cave complexes in the Shahi Kot Valley where the fighting presently is taking place. They pay tribute to his tenacity as a fighter and question the purpose of the US-led Operation Anaconda. As Abdul Mutin, commander of a US-allied militia, admitted: "There are some people who say: ‘Saifur Rahman is a nice person. Why must we fight him.'" <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
