 Allan,
 If I can buy in?
 From a Down Under perspective, we would see US politics, The Military and
 the Intelligence Services as all being puppets of the small number of
 people who command the money in the US and a number of other countries.
 If there was a will to have Government of the people, by the people
 voting would be compulsory. I understand that only around a third vote in
 most elections in the US.
 That means that the one who is hell bent on taking you, us and many others
 into a war on behalf of the US oil interests, was supported by something
 around a sixth of those of voting age. Four sixths can only blame them
 selves as they did not choose to vote.

 Thanks Gil, Another down under view. I am very grateful I had the
opportunity to visit U.S. and meet some fingers in the soil Americans while
I was there. Its quite a different perspective to what one reads in the news
papers.

Subject: URGENT: Overview of Changes to Legal Rights (in the United tates)
Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002

Alright, all you folks out there who think this concern about our losing
our rights is just the whining of extremists. It is hard to believe that
there are any such folks given what we see happening every day but sad to
say there are.

So here is an article on this very subject from the ASSOCIATED PRESS! It is
not from some obscure independent source. It is from the mainstream media!

There is no room to doubt that we have lost essential rights. The
Constitution is being openly violated. Our Bill of Rights has been
decimated.

We are in the exact same position as the good Germans were during the
30's. It was clear that Hitler was destroying their rights but they did
nothing. Had they resisted earlier, they could have stopped Hitler's coup.
The good Germans far outnumbered the NAZIS just as the good Americans far
out number these sick folks who are trying to take over our country!

Ahh, you are against terrorism and support the government in its war
against terrorists? Great. But you must know that YOU can be considered a
terrorist and if you are you don't have a prayer of getting out of it. They
will just pack you away without anyone knowing what happened to you and
that will be it. Cmon. This is not a war against anyone but us. It is all
about getting control over the American people. It should be clear as a
bell to everyone at this point.

If we wait much longer it will be too late to resist. So what do you think?
Change the channel to another game or get up and do something?

Your choice. And your children and grand children's lives will be immensely
affected one way or the other.

Don Stacey

It will help if you send this message on to as many people as you can.
Americans have to wake up before it is too late.

Overview of Changes to Legal Rights
By The Associated Press

September 5, 2002

Some of the fundamental changes to Americans' legal rights by the Bush
administration and the USA Patriot Act following the terror attacks:

* FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious and political
institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror
investigation.

* FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration
hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has
encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.

* FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any
other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed
information related to a terror investigation.

* RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison
jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to
Americans accused of crimes.

* FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize
Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror
investigation.

* RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans
indefinitely without a trial.

* RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being
able to confront witnesses against them.

OT: some free considerations [was RE: OT:FW: [globalnews] 100 jets join attack on Iraq]

2002-09-10 Thread Roelof Fransen

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who
take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition
there.
   -- Indira Gandhi

... and so it has been since the beginning of the Dark Age, the clever
ones taking credit for the work done by others, feeding on it and at the
same destroying by the pollution they cause, by the wars they start, etc...

...and so the lamb (the innocents : the women, the older ones, the children,
the poors, the disabled, etc...) has since then been sacrificed.

You say these *might* be hard words ? But how much harder is the so called
reality in which we are held by those whose only wish is that *it* should
continue so they might remain in place, that is on top of poverty and misery
of others and might even better than escape that for themselves, have
certainly a profit and a benefit out it. They aim at the thrill of power to
feed their ego. Money is just a mean for making that possible in the world.

Lucifer seeks to bloat up his own prestige and Arhimane his own desires. Fur
that purpose they seek representation on the material plane. They will let
anyone partake to their evil plans for as long as one signs the pact with
his own blood (read his own life). Hey what do you think ? They are not
kidding.

In this strongly hierarchized structure based on *force* and obligation,
power is given in abundance to all plus the extra's (money, fulfillement of
desires, etc...). Of course all of these things are taken from others but
they are only the presents and the means by which  *members* are attracted.
The *real* purpose is to spread evil, material desires, fear and all other
negative emotions that evil beings are feeding upon. It bloats their ego and
fulfills their never ending desires for power.

Even though such occult organizations exist, their members are just puppets
in the same way as all their victims (high positionned politicians, members
of powerful world organizations such as banks, and so on...) are. Just
puppets ! Puppets do not necessarily have to partake consciously to such an
organization. There are countless puppets (victims) that can be very easily
*used* through magical powers that members automatically achieve as a reward
for their obeissances. They can be remotly guided in order to pump money out
of a bank account (eventually the papers will report a fraud but the money
can't be found) or be sacrificed (the papers will report on an accident such
as a mysterious heart attack).

A power behind the power ? The question that some people ask themselves :
are there actually beings behind the evil doings of certain people ? Why do
you think it's all so mysterious while the facts (the outcomes) are so
evident ? There is lack of balance everywhere, fear and terror, illness and
death but we wouldn't be able to see where it does come from ?

It's because each and everyone who isn't watchfull of his own inner states,
isn't able to discriminate between what is good and wrong for himself and
thus not yet able to liberate himself from the mental plane partakes to
ignorance of one's own reality and true nature and thus to the propagation
of wrong doings. Each and everyone is a relay and when there is a need to
find one responsible there is never be (a real) one to be found around !.

Look at the opposite side (the spiritual one). There we observe the evidence
of the wisdom there is in Nature, how marvellous it has evolved to provide
for food and shelter for ALL. We (at least in the BD community) are keen to
belief at the elementals behind all those forces in Nature. The spiritual
hierarchy is based one based on *freedom*. One freely gives his own life at
the service of those who are in need. It has a representation at the
material plane as well. I identify numerous spiritual beings that have
incarnated on earth and have been present at our sides even much more so
today.

None of the dark counterparts need publicity. As Hugh said it well evil
works best from behind the curtain. They saturate the surroundings of the
earth with poisonous thoughts and these have tremendous powers. See around
yourself.
Most people can't escape because they have not the energy. It pervades all
living and sentient beings thus our food gets of course contaminated. While
we feed on that food we actually loose our energy and physical health. Then
it pervades the mental and emotional layers as well ... but you know all
that.

This battle in the world is actually not ours. Our battlefield is in our
heart. Will we discover the hidden forces that maintain us in the ignorance
of our true nature and keep us in an ego driven life ? Yes we will, because
there is enough divinity in us to bring us back home. May we all discover
our truth within and forget about the world outside.

We can't find peace within and expose ourselves to the fear and agitation
outside. So let us pray (for example) :

physically one, because we are the descendants of common parents — the symbolic 
Adam and Eve; and spiritually one, because we are the immortal children of our 
Father, bound by eternal links of brotherhood.Let us pray in our hearts 
for a League of Souls and a United World. Though we may seem divided by race, 
creed, color, class, and political prejudices, still, as children of the one God 
we are able in our souls to feel brotherhood and world unity. May we work for 
the creation of a United World in which every nation will be a useful part, 
guided by God through man’s enlightened conscience. In our hearts we can 
all learn to be free from hate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmony among 
the nations, that they march hand in hand through the gate of a fair new 
civilization. 
 Prayer for others is one of the highest 
services we can offer to the world. We invite you to join in spirit the monks 
and nuns of Self-Realization Fellowship on Wednesday, September 11 at the noon 
hour (Pacific Daylight Time) as we pray for world peace and for all those 
who have been affected by the tragedy of 9/11. Even if you could only spend one 
or two minutes in silent prayer at noon, this would be of tremendous benefit to 
all. Paramahansa Yogananda has said, "Most men consider the course of 
events as natural and inevitable. They little know what radical changes are 
possible through prayer."

We must eradicate from the soul
All fear and terror of what comes towards Man
Out of the future
And we must acquire serenity
In all feelings and sensations about the future
We must look forward
With absolute equanimity to everything that may come
And we must think only that whatever comes
Is given to us by a world directive full of wisdom
It is part of what we must learn in this age,
Namely to live out of pure trust
Without any security in existence.
Trust in that ever present help of the spiritual world.
Truly, nothing else will do
If our courage is not to fail us.
And we must seek this awakening within Ourselves
Every morning and every evening.

Re: FW: [globalnews] GM Wheat Portends Disaster for Great Plains

2002-09-10 Thread Gil Robertson


Have you considered raising the issue of insurance on GM Crops?
I have a ruling from the Insurance Council of Australia to the effect
that GMs are an uninsurable risk and they recommend to their members not
to carry the risk. This represents more than 90% of Australian coverage.
I think there could be a case for a Court Order against some one subjecting
others to an uninsured risk.
You need to first get a ruling from the national insurance body, then
hit the rural media and see where you can push it.

GM Wheat Portends Disaster for Great Plains
By Kari Lydersen,
AlterNet
September
9, 2002
Todd Leake has been growing
hard red spring wheat at his farm in eastern North Dakota for 25 years.
The 1,000 acres he plants with hard red spring wheat represents half his
total crop. Like most farmers in the area, more than half his crop is exported
for sale in markets in Europe, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other foreign
countries.

If Monsanto and other biotech
companies succeed in their push to allow genetically modified (called GE,
GM or GMO) wheat on the market, Leake is afraid he may see his profits
based on decades of work go down the drain.

There are a variety of reasons
that environmentalists, farmers, health activists, "globophobics" and others
oppose the development of GE or GM crops. People fear the control it gives
Monsanto and other multinational corporations over farmers' livelihoods.
Many worry that the health and environmental effects of genetically modified
foods are still unknown, and that they could be harmful to our land and
our bodies.

Farmers worry about cross-contamination
from neighbors' GM crops. Biotech companies marketing GM seeds have the
right to enter a farmer's field and test for their seed strains. They can
fine farmers thousands of dollars if their crops test positive for genetically
modified strains that the farmer didn't purchase, even though crops can
easily become contaminated by pollen from a neighbor's field.

Farmers are also not allowed
to save seeds from year to year as they traditionally have done with non-GM
crops. When a farmer plants a crop from GM seeds, he is required to purchase
a new batch of seeds each year. Again companies can fine farmers huge amounts
for this practice. Brothers Paul and John Mayfield, for example, were recently
fined $75,000 by Monsanto for replanting 800 bushels of GM soybean seeds
they had saved.

But on top of all these concerns,
there is an even simpler reason to oppose GM wheat, according to many farmers
in the Great Plains, where Monsanto is pushing to introduce genetically
modified hard red spring wheat for commercial sale.

Regardless of whether the
potential negative health and environmental effects are real or imagined,
much of the world is certain that it doesn't want GM foods. Very certain.
And this fact could only have devastating economic implications for American
farmers.

The European Union and various
countries in Asia have all made it clear that they don't want any genetically
modified crops, and they test incoming shipments to make sure they don't
get any. Given the frequency and ease of cross-pollination, farmers say,
virtually the only way for a country to ensure they are not getting any
GM foods is to stop buying them from the U.S. all together.

"It's basically impossible
to segregate it," said Leake, who is a member of the grassroots farmers
group the Dakota Resource Council. "The general consensus is that there
will be cross-pollination from neighbors' fields. And it can get contaminated
not only in the field, but from the seed stock, from handling the equipment
that had GM seeds in it, from mixing in the [grain] elevator."

A study quoted in the new
book, "Fatal Harvest: The Tragedy of Industrial Agriculture," noted that
only 20 percent of grain elevators surveyed in the U.S. have separate facilities
for GM and non-GM soybeans. So even if a farmer were to avoid the economic
pressure to buy GM wheat and to avoid cross-contamination from neighbors,
his crops could still get contaminated in the elevator and test positive
for genetic modification once they reach the market.

Monsanto spokesman Mark Buckingham
said the company has made a commitment to develop technologies to prevent
contamination and to make sure farmers continue to have choices about what
kind of seeds they buy.

"We have committed not to
introduce [GM wheat] on the market until we have different varieties to
offer, so a farmer who wants Roundup Ready wheat can get it and one who
wants traditional wheat can get that," said Buckingham. While Buckingham
didn't offer a specific answer to fears about contamination from GM crops,
farmers say the risk is very much on their minds.

"I believe it's inevitable
it would escape," said Sarah Vogel, the former commissioner of agriculture
in North Dakota (1989 to 1996) and currently a lawyer in private practice.
"It's really a bad idea."

Right now GM wheat is being
