Where are the Jesuits and others, while all this is going on? The Author also gives the devil more credit than he is due,IMHO and some of the connections are ...; but all in all it is interesting. As, always, Caveat leactor Om K - The blueprint to destroy the Church through this means was drawn up over two hundred years ago by Adam Weishaupt, who has been called 'The Human Devil." Whether Weishaupt received it from Voltaire or Frederick the Great is not known. Nesta Webster suggests some connection when she notes that "The resemblances between Weishaupt's correspondence and that of Voltaire and of Frederick the Great are certainly very striking."(87) You recall that from 1750-1755 Voltaire was a guest at Frederick's court.(88) Monsignor Dillon wrote of that visit: [Voltaire] sketched out for them the whole mode of procedure against the Church. His policy as revealed by the correspondence of Frederick II, and others with him, was not to commence an immediate persecution, but first to suppress the Jesuits and all Religious orders, and to secularize their goods; then to deprive the Pope of temporal authority, and the Church of property and state recognition. Primary and higher-class education of a lay and Infidel [sicl character was to be established, body of the Church should be sufficiently weakened and Infidelity [sic] strong enough, the final blow was to be dealt by the sword of open, relentless persecution. A reign of terror was to spread over the whole earth, and to continue while a Christian should be found obstinate enough to adhere to Christianity. This, of course, was to be followed by a Universal Brotherhood without marriage, family property God, or law(89) Weishaupt took up the cause of Voltaire, providing the vehicle by which the plan would be carried to future generations. When Weishaupt penetrated Freemasonry with illuminism, the Lodge took up the cause, citing Voltaire as a patron. Miller explains in Occult Theocracy that after the 1789-1793 destruction of old France, and subsequent to the reign- of Napoleon, Grand Orient Freemasonry's aim was the same as Voltaire's. From the minutes of the Italian Masonic Lodge, Permanent Instructions, or Practical Code of Rules; Guide for the Heads of the Highest Grades of Masonry, Miller quotes: "'Our final aim is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution, -- the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately of Christianity Under this cloak [of Freemasonry, we may conspire at our convenience, and arrive, little by little, at our ultimate aim."(90) The Masonic Lodge ever since has been bent on the destruction of our families, our churches, our nation, our world, and our God. Freemasonry's ultimate aim is a one-world humanistic government without Christ and His Church. Obviously, the Masonic Lodge is still carrying out Voltaire's plan. Freemason Voltaire, born flfty-four years before Weishaupt, had laid the groundwork for insurrection. Weishaupt advanced it. Perceiving an eminent revolution in France, which had long been agitating French Masons, Weishaupt saw and took his chance to impose the doctrines of the Illuminati on the existing French Grand Lodge. This gave him a platform from which to operate. Realizing the Grand Lodge had to be separated from English Masonic obedience before it would initiate and fully support a revolution against the monarchy, Weishaupt used the illuminated Grand Orient Masons to subvert the Grand Lodge.(91) Author and 18th century English Freemason John Robison in Proofs of a Conspiracy (1798) quotes a letter from Weishaupt to his Illuminatus brother Cato, wherein he states his use of Masonry to another end: "'The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it."'(92) Having achieved this goal, Weishaupt's next step was twofold: 1)through revolution win freedom for the subjects of what he regarded as despotic kings and Church; and 2) after revolution inaugurate an ostensibly atheistic government under the guise of democracy. Commander Guy Carr in The Conspiracy writes that 'Weishaupt never intended that any except specially selected Masons, from the Higher Degrees, should learn The Full Secret' of Lucifer. Only those known to have defected completely from Almighty God were initiated into the Higher

Where are the Jesuits and others, while all this is going on? The Author also gives the devil more credit than he is due,IMHO and some of the connections are ...; but all in all it is interesting. As, always Caveat leactor Om K - Chapter 11 FIRST WAR BETWEEN ENGLISH AND FRENCH FREEMASONRY Many minor German Princes continued to be Freemasons. The Duke of Brunswick was the central figure in the first Masonic conspiracy The Court of Vienna was more or less Masonic since the reign of the wretched Joseph II. Alexander of Russia was educated by La Harpe, a [Grand Orient] Freemason(1) The Elector of Hesse, Prince William of Hanau, held broad views in religious matters, associated much with Freemasons and practiced complete religious tolerance.(2) Royalty in Europe had long been involved in Freemasonry before Weishaupt came on the scene -- not that they were revolutionary, although some of course were -- but because they were curious. Freemasonry was considered the custodian of science, something into which an intelligent man should look. It was also anti-Catholic, which suited many of the German Protestant princes. Even Catholic monarchs, nominal in their Christianity, disregarded the Vatican's ban on membership and attached themselves to the Order. After the French Revolution plunged Europe into political chaos, both Protestant and Catholic monarchs changed their attitudes toward the Craft. As we know, the original intent of the French Revolution was to dethrone the Bourbon dynasty in favor of Sion's Lorraine-Habsburg "King of Jerusalem" cult. Yet, when the Revolution began, the strongest players appeared to be the Templars, who had outsmarted Sion's Illuminati with exposure. Strong evidence of Templar involvement is seen in the appearance of the Jacobin Clubs when the doors of the Illuminati's Grand Orient lodges closed. It is true that most conspiracy researchers view this as nothing more than the Illuminati changing their name. The Jacobin Clubs were illuminated, and, as we have noted before, the name Jacobin recalls Jacques de Molay, strongly suggesting Templar influence, if not control. At the time of the French Revolution, there were actually three major conspiracies working -- all under the Masonic banner. They allegedly united in 1782 at Wilhelmsbad to cooperate in revolution. All three were illuminated at that conference. As subsequent events reveal, however, each had secretly planned its own outcome via the Revolution. For example, the French Grand Lodge, an English Masonic front, was Royalist, wanting a constitutional monarchy. The French Grand Orient, an Illuminati front of the Priory of Sion, fought to replace the Bourbon dynasty with another. The Scottish Rite, a Templar front, planned to avenge a four-centuries-old murder, destroying the monarchy and replacing it with a republic. Thus divided, the revolution was doomed to failure. Freemasonry's desire to alter the despotic politics of Europe might have been an admirable undertaking, but the outcome could not have been foreseen, nor given the anti-social passions that had been aroused, restraint possible. The French Revolution ended in the Terror. According to Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, not until December 27, 1801 did two of the warring factions of Masonry, the Templar Scottish Rite and the Grand Orient bodies, merged.(3) Soon afterwards, the third Masonic party, the Grand Lodge, came into line and all three upheld Napoleon. De Poncins, in The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, explains that By wishing to go too fast, freemasonry [sic] miscarried. The excesses of the Terror brought about a violent reaction of the country. Being unable to do better, freemasonry [sic] resumed its philanthropic guise and respectful attitude to social order. It upheld Napoleon, who, moreover, served it by spreading the revolutionary spirit all over Europe In a word he was for Europe what the revolution had been for France.(4) Napoleon Bonaparte and the Templars Napoleon Bonaparte was not a self-made man. He was selected by Templar Freemasonry to salvage the revolution -- to solidify the revolution in his name, since rumors persisted that the exiled Bourbons would return. Msgr. Dillon writes that "As a lesser evil, therefore, and as a means of forwarding the unification of Europe, which they had planned by his conquests, the Freemasons placed supreme power in the hands of Bonaparte, and urged him on in his career"(5) Although general history presents Napoleon as a fervent Catholic, Msgr. Dillon contradicts that judgment: [Napoleon's] letters breathe everywhere the spirit of advanced Freemasonry,

As, always Caveat leactor Om K - Chapter 12 FRENCH FREEMASONRY TRIES, AND TRIES AGAIN Freemasonry in its momentary command of power, failed in its supreme endeavour. Taught by these experiences, its progress has become slower and surer. (1) Count Leon de Poncins In 1796, the survivors of the House of Bourbon escaped to the island of Sicily where they lived protected by the British Navy until after the Battle of Waterloo.(2) When Napoleon was banished to the island of St. Helena, and Europe reorganized under oligarchic rule, the Bourbons offered to return, but the French Freemasons sought a king neither Bourbon nor Catholic. They approached the Protestant and Masonic king of Holland to be king of France. Dillon explains what followed this unsuccessful bid: This failing, they contrived by Masonic arts to obtain the first places in the Provisional Government which succeeded Napoleon. They endeavoured to make the most of the inevitable, and to rule the incoming [Bourbon King] Louis XVIII, in the interests of their sect, and to the detriment of the Church and of Christianity.(3) In the first revolution French Freemasonry had shown open hostility to the House of Bourbon. Bizarre as it may seem, when Louis XVIII ascended the throne, he favored the Republican Templar Grand Orient. Stranger yet, Talleyrand became minister. Moreover, other advanced Masons of the Napoleonic empire, such as Emmanuel Sieyes, Regis de Cambaceres, and Joseph Fouche, obtained positions as well. Louis's court was filled with Masonic Templars and Sionists, who were once again plotting against the throne. Dillon outlines the disastrous events that flowed from their schemes: These men at once applied themselves to subvert the sentiment of reaction in favour of the monarchy and of religion. Soon, Louis XVIII gave the world the sad spectacle of a man prepared at their bidding to cut his own throat. He dissolved a Parliament of ultra loyalists because they were too loyal to him. The Freemasons took care that his next Parliament should be full of its own creatures. They also wrung from the King, under the plea of freedom of the press, permission to deluge the country anew with the infidel and immoral publications of Voltaire and his confederates, and with newspapers and periodicals, which proved disastrous to his house, and to Christianity, in France. These led before long to the attempt upon the life of the Duke of Berry. to the revolution against Charles X, to the elevation of the son of the Grand Master, the traitor Duke of Orleans, Philip the Egalite, as Constitutional King, and to all the revolutionary results that have since distracted and disgraced unfortunate France.(4) The French Revolution of 1830 Unable to dethrone the Bourbons, the Priory of Sion settled for a constitutional monarchy. This adjustment to political reality in fact was not as strange a departure from the character of Sion as might first appear. The authors of The Messianic Legacy explain Sion's reason for accepting a constitutional monarchy: The essence of such a monarchy is that it rests on the basis espoused by the Prieure de Sion and ascribed to the old Merovingian dynasty of France. For the Merovingians, the king ruled but did not govern. In other words, he was ultimately a symbolic figure. To the extent that he remained unsoiled by the tawdry business of politics and government, his symbolic status remained pristine. As one of the Prieure de Sion's writers declares in an article, "The king is." In other words, his currency resides in what he embodies as a symbol, rather than in anything he does, or in any real power he might or might not exercise. The most potent symbols always exert an intangible authority, which can only be compromised by the more tangible forms of power.(5) The "more tangible forms of power" were of course the plotters in the French parliament, comprised of representatives from both Sion and the Temple. The constant assignment of the Grand Masters of Sion was to steer the ship of Sion toward a course favorable to the interests of the "Lost King." This goal proved more difficult in France than it had been in England. In England, Sion had no adversary. In France, however, a constitutional monarchy was just as easily subverted by the Templars. Such was the case when in the three-day revolution of 1830 the

As, always Caveat leactor Om K - Chapter 14 LUCIFIER: GOD OF FREEMASONRY The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degree, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.(1) Albert Pike, 33rd Degree, 1889 Albert Pike (1809-1891) was a General in the Confederate Army during our American Civil War (1860-1865). From 1859 until his death in 1891, he was the most powerful Mason in the world. He occupied simultaneously the positions of Grand Master of the Central Directory at Washington, D.C. Grand Commander of the Supreme Council at Charleston, S.C., and Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry.(2) He was an honorary member of almost every Supreme Council in the world, personally receiving 130 Masonic degrees.(3) On October 26, 1919, twenty-eight years after Pike's death, Alva Adams of Colorado addressed the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite at Washington, D.C., with the following commendation of Albert Pike: As the Laws King Alfred wrote a thousand years ago are still a part of England's glory and liberty, so in another thousand years will the ideals, the poetry, the moral code and philosophy of Albert Pike be shaping the influence and destiny of Masonry. It is a patent of nobility to be a Brother to this god-like leader -- Prince in the House of Solomon and Hiram.(4) There is a subversive side to Albert Pike, however, about which many remain silent. Before accession to his prestigious Masonic positions, Pike secretly organized the rebellion of the southern states against the United States, using the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Freemasonry to conceal his conspiracy. Most of the political and military leadership of the Confederacy were Masons under Pike's secret command. In reality, our Civil War was another battle in the war between English and French Freemasonry.(5) Prior to our 1776 War of Independence, 32nd degree French Templarism had not yet reached America. Although a few Templar lodges from Ireland and Scotland were scattered throughout the northeast U.S., most were military lodges and had not progressed beyond nine degrees. Predominant were the three-degree English lodges. By the time George Washington was elected our first President, 32nd degree Templar Scottish Rite Freemasonry had already been established at Charleston, S.C. -- on the 33rd degree parallel. The Scottish Rite assisted our new government in developing French republican ideals. In 1801, nine American Masons created the 33rd degree and the Charleston lodge became the Mother Council of the World. High-degree Scottish Rite lodges soon dotted the southern portion of the United States, and the Rite moved northeast where low-degree English Masonry was strongest. Evidence suggests that to counter this intrusion into English Masonic territory, the British sent John James Joseph Gourgas (1777-1865) to New York to organize clandestine Scottish Rite Lodges throughout that region.(6) Gourgas was well-suited to this subversive task. The Gourgas family had been French Scottish Rite Masons living in Switzerland prior to the French Revolution. During the Reign of Terror, the family emigrated to England, where John James Joseph became a well-known merchant on the royal exchange. As a matter of course, he joined low-degree English Freemasonry.(7) The Gourgas family sailed from England to Boston in 1803, finally settling in Weston, Massachusetts. J.J.J. Gourgas went to New York around 1806. By 1813 he had organized five clandestine Scottish Rite lodges, one of which was called the Cerneau Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-Third Degree. These subversive lodges had assisted England in her War of 1812- 1814 against the young American nation. In the early summer of 1813 Emanual de la Motta, a Supreme Council member from Charleston, was visiting New York and discovered the five clandestine lodges. An investigation ensued, and none were found to have received sponsorship from Charleston. After conferring with the Charleston hierarchy, Motta was told to rectify the

[CTRL] [1/3] Emerald Cup-Ark of Gold
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Emerald Cup-Ark of Gold Col. Howard Buechner(C)1991 Thunderbird Press, Inc. 300 Cuddihy Drive Metairie, LA 70005 - A very interesting Book. Talk about your long running tales/conspiracy theory. A dash of Indy Jones the Nazis with magic thrown in for a good measure. As always Caveat Lector. - Prologue A Glimpse of What is to Come On April 26, 1945 in the closing days of WWII, a specially designed and heavily reinforced Junkers transport took off from an airfield known as Hoerching which was located near Adolf Hitler's favorite city, Linz on the Danube, (not far from where the Fuhrer was born). According to the plane's flight orders (Reference 39), Hitler and some of the most important members of his inner circle were scheduled to be on board. These persons included Dr. Joseph Goebbels, his wife and 6 children, Martin Bormann, General Otto Fegelein, General Wilhelm Burgdorf, Eva Braun and others. The aircraft landed in Barcelona, Spain but none of the above individuals disembarked. They had all elected to remain in Hitler's Berlin Bunker with the Fuhrer and there they died (with the exception of Bormann). Fegelein had not remained in the bunker by choice, but he did die there. Although Hitler did not escape to Barcelona, he still intended to send some of his personal treasures to that city by the last plane to leave Hoerching on April 30, 1945 (the day he died). One of the many items intended to be flown out of Germany was a special box, four feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. It had been turned over to Dr. Helmuth von Hummel by officials of an organization, which had been set up to assemble art and other worthy objects for Hitler's projected museum complex at Linz. The box is said to have contained 2,217 extremely rare gold coins which "were acquired from various religious orders and private collections, including that of Baron Louis Rothschild". However, it seems more likely that they had once been a part of the Treasure of Solomon and of Montsegur. Helmuth von Hummel was none other than Martin Bormann's Chief Secretary and Comptroller of all of Hitler's private funds. The gold coins had been placed in his care on direct orders from Bormann. The box never arrived at the airport from which it was to be sent to Barcelona. It simply vanished. By a curious coincidence, Mrs. Bormann was carrying a similar box, containing an identical number of rare gold coins, when she was apprehended by Allied Forces in northern Italy just after the war. It would seem that Bormann was feathering his nest with Hitler's gold. ("JU-290 A-6: The History and The Mystery" by Gregory Douglas, Military Advisor, Spring 1990). "On May 2, 1945 an SS company moving under 'special orders', and made up uniquely only of officers, blocked the Innsbruck-Salzburg road, in order to allow the passage of a convoy coming down from the Berghof (Hitler's home on the Obersalzberg)." The column was headed into the very midst of the Allied advance and there was an urgent need for great haste if it was to accomplish its mission before being captured. It exited from the main highway at the junction of the Isar River and its valley, where it picked up its flanking cover and made its way into the high mountains. Far to the north, two U-Boats (the U-530 and the U-977) slipped out of concealed bunkers and charted a course for Antarctica. They were laden with treasure. On this night, the once proud Third Reich was literally falling apart or, more correctly, being torn apart. Berlin fell to Russian forces in the north and the defense of Munich in the south collapsed before the onslaught of the U.S. 45th (Thunderbird) Division and other units. The war was effectively over at this point but the official end did not occur for six more days. There had been rumors of a final German defense of what was known as the "Alpine Fortress" in the high Alps. Even though it was doubtful that such a redoubt actually existed, Allied forces went plunging toward Innsbruck, Salzburg and Berchtesgaden. It was in the latter region that the mysterious SS convoy was carrying out its last mission. No one knows who issued the "special orders" which impelled the men of the convoy to complete their task but they did so with supreme dedication. By this time, all of the prominent treasure seekers of the Third Reich had been dispersed. Hider, of course, had died in Berlin on April 30, 1945. Grand Admiral Karl Donitz was the new leader of the remnants of the Reich on a temporary basis. Heinrich Himmler had been stripped of power. Martin Bormann and General Heinrich Muller were on the run, and Goring and Skorzeny were hiding in the mountains waiting to surrender. There was no one left to direct the concealment of the treasures of the Reich except Professor Karl Haushofer and perhaps it was on his impetus that the commander of the secret convoy completed his mission. Haushofer himself (the wizard of Germany), would die the

Talk about your long running tales/conspiracy theory. A dash of Indy Jones the Nazis with magic thrown in for a good measure. As always Caveat Lector. - CHAPTER VIII The Treasure of the Cathars "The Cathars were the guardians of the Treasure of the Visigoths and in their secret caverns, was the Treasure of the Ages, consisting of many holy relics, not the least of which was the Cup of God and of Abraham and of Christ together with The Ark of the Covenant and all of its associated items." Quote from the text The Cathars or Cathari were members of a religious sect which appeared in Western Europe in about 1050 A.D. They were also known as the Albigensians or men of Albi. This name derives from the city of Albi in the south of France which was one of the chief centers of the Cathars. The movement began in Germany and spread rapidly to Flanders, France and Italy. The fact that Catharism began in Germany accounts for Heinrich Himmler's later intense interest in this group. The Cathars called themselves the "Pure Ones" or "Perfect Ones" or "Virtuous Ones", terms which come from the Greek word for pure, and they were indeed a people of great virtue. They were originally Christians but had so modified Christian doctrine that they eventually became labeled as heretics. In truth, their religious beliefs and customs have never been fully understood, but one thing is certain, they were so fiercely loyal to their doctrines that they would willingly die rather than denounce their beliefs. And so they did. The Cathars were divided into two groups. The "Perfects" and the "Believers". The Perfects were set apart from the mass of Believers by a ceremony of initiation. They devoted themselves to contemplation and study and were expected to maintain the highest standards of moral behavior, including chastity and the total abstinence from meat and diary products. In other words they renounced all worldly things. Suicide was an accepted way of escaping the evils of the world and was a common mode of death, usually by starvation. The Perfects were the elite, the priests and the leaders, and more importantly, they were those who had attained the highest knowledge which was believed to be the key to salvation. In general, the Cathars espoused the ancient doctrine of dualism which maintained that there are two principles, one good and the other evil and that the material world is evil. Man is a sojourner in this evil world and his aim should be to free his spirit (which is good) and restore it to communion with God in a variety of ways as indicated above. So far, there was nothing in the religious beliefs of the Cathars that represented true heresy, but in about 1149, after a period of very rapid growth, the sect became an organized church. A hierarchy, a liturgy and a system of doctrine were created and, at the same time, the first Cathar Bishop established himself in the north of France. Within a few years there were 10 more Bishoprics in Albi, Lombardy, southern France and Italy. Perhaps as many as 2,000,000 people belonged to the movement by that time and Catharism was beginning to become a serious rival of the Church of Rome as it spread like an epidemic throughout Europe. In addition, the Cathar Church had rewritten the Biblical story of Creation, rejected much of the Old Testament and disclaimed the divinity of Christ and the Christian principle of incarnation. To the Cathars, Jesus was no more than a prophet, or perhaps an angel whose human suffering and death were an illusion. This Cathar doctrine struck at the very roots and foundations of orthodox Christianity and represented true heresy, which was a totally unforgivable sin. The Cathars had sealed their own doom in this departure from the teachings of the Church of Rome and it was only a matter of time before the Church would move against them. However, other factors were involved in precipitating the fate which would soon befall the "Perfect Ones". They had allied themselves with the Knights Templar who had adopted beliefs not unlike those of the Cathars. Notably, they too, came to deny the divinity of Christ in spite of their orthodox Christian beginnings. For this reason the Templars had also fallen into disfavor with the Church. In addition to becoming good friends of the Templars, many Cathar soldiers became members of the Templar Order and served with distinction in its ranks. Notwithstanding their peaceful disposition, the Cathar warriors could be fierce foes when the need arose, as they were to prove in the brutal crusade which was soon to be launched against them. The Templars were to meet a similar fate in 1312 as has already been described in Chapter VII. Another piece of evidence, which supports the fact that the Cathars and the Templars were close associates, is

Talk about your long running tales/conspiracy theory. A dash of Indy Jones the Nazis with magic thrown in for a good measure. As always Caveat Lector. - CHAPTER XVIII Otto Skorzeny and the Last Crusade "At that time there was only one man in Germany who fitted the qualifications that Himmler had in mind." Quote from tenet Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 and WWII began. England and France declared war on Germany two days later. Germany invaded France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg in May 1940 and entered Paris in June. Shortly thereafter, the French asked for armistice terms and Marshall Petain ordered all troops of France to stop fighting. Within a matter of weeks all of France was under German jurisdiction but not fully occupied until November 1942. Heinrich Himmler was now in a position to remove the treasure of Montsegur to German soil, with little fear of interference, but for some mysterious reason no action was taken. Perhaps he was preoccupied with other things as the forces of the Third Reich rolled to one success after another or perhaps he had decided to wait until Germany was all victorious before he seized the treasure and announced to the world that Germany had come into possession of the priceless relics. It is also possible that Himmler was holding back until the time when France would be fully occupied by German troops. It is notable that the Ahnenerbe remained active during the period in question (1940-1943) and sent excavation expeditions to Biskupice, Poland; Olympia, Greece; Slovakia; the Croat fortress of Surval; Serbia and Caucasia. A second expedition to Tibet was also initiated at this time with the mission of seeking clues related to the origins of the Aryan race. During the first part of the period referred to above, the war was going so well for Germany that Himmler saw no reason for haste in recovering the Emerald Cup. He thought that he knew exactly where it was hidden. France was under the complete control of German forces and the Cup could be easily unearthed whenever Himmler decided that the time was right. However, in the summer and fall of 1942 some ominous signs began to appear which to the astute observer pointed to the eventual defeat of Germany. During this time the mighty German advance into Russia began to grind to a halt at Stalingrad and the "Desert Fox", Marshal Erwin Rommel suffered his first defeat at El Alamein. As his army began its retreat from North Africa, Rommel came to the conclusion that the war could no longer be won. At about the same time, one of the top leaders of the Third Reich, Reich Protektor Reinhard Heydrich, was assassinated in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Before he died he predicted that the war would be lost. To make matters worse, America had entered the conflict against Germany and U.S. troops began pouring into North Africa and England. It was then only a matter of time before an Allied invasion of continental Europe would begin, probably from both the south and the north. In fact, Allied forces invaded Sicily in July 1943 and shortly thereafter, the assault on southern Italy began. The situation was changing rapidly and, by this time, Himmler became convinced that he must make a move to recover the treasure. In June, 1943 a group of German scientists, consisting of geologists, historians, and archeologists appeared at Montsegur. They were under the protection of German troops and German controlled French militia. They explored the grottoes in the surrounding mountains and carried out excavations in various places for six months but came up empty-handed. Simultaneously, similar teams were carrying out digs at Rennes-le-Chateau and various other locations in France, largely with negative results. The failure of his scientists to find the treasure came as a bitter disappointment to Himmler and led his advisors to the following conclusions: 1. The treasure did not exist. 2. The treasure did exist but was not in the Montsegur area. 3. The treasure was in the Montsegur area but Otto Rahn had not discovered its location. 4. The treasure was in the Montsegur area and Otto Rahn had learned enough to predict its exact place of concealment, but he had simply misinformed his superiors about its location and had taken his secret to the grave. This may have been the reason for Rahn's death. Himmler flatly rejected the theory that the treasure did not exist. He also rejected the premise that it was located in an area other than the Montsegur region. Rahn had undoubtedly reported to Himmler after each visit to the Languedoc. Apparently he had told the Reichsfuhrer that he had not actually found the treasure but sincerely believed that he had come so close to success that he knew exactly where it was located. This is the reason a third trip to the

Check out this affidavit regarding the C of S and it's book removal activities: [begin excerpt] The following is an excerpt from a Public Record Court Document United States District Court Central District of California Case # CV 91 6426 HLH (Tx) Declaration of Graham E. Berry re deposition testimony of Garry Scarff. April 4 1994 Garry Scarff was an operative for the Church of $cientology's Office of Special Affairs, (OSA) Books Critical of Scientology Stolen and Destroyed. Q. Mr. Scarff, have you now located the two exhibits that you had tried to locate with reference to stealing library records? A. Yes, sir, I did. Q. Turning your attention to Exhibit-99, what is that? A. This is a letter that I sent to Ginnie Cooper, the Director of Libraries for Multnomah County, which is the county where Portland, Oregon rests. And it is concerning an operation in which I was a part of a -- part of which has been a long time policy within the Church of Scientology to eradicate not only from what I have spoken to already on court files but eradicating from library systems throughout the country, any information that is critical or adverse to the Church of Scientology. And specifically within the library systems within the City of Portland, Oregon, I as well as other individuals within the Church of Scientology just as a matter of policy were ordered to destroy any and all critical materials adverse to the Church of Scientology. And this letter is to the Director of Libraries informing her that all of such books that are on file at the library which have been listed as "lost" are not lost. They had been destroyed. And I list six books there. Specifically one book refers to -- entitled "A Piece of Blue Sky" by Jon Atack, who is a former high ranking member of the Church of Scientology who wrote an expose on Scientology. And I recall there were approximately four to five copies of this book in the library all which were listed as lost. And this letter explains to Ms. Cooper, basically, that the Church of Scientology destroys materials on a regular basis which they consider to be adverse, including if she were to check the library's copy of Time Magazine dated May 6th of l991 they will notice that that article had been cut from the magazine because the Church of Scientology considered it to be adverse. Exhibit-100 is a response to me from this library director in which she did a full inventory of the books that they had and claims that several of the books appear to be out of print now and the library currently has no copies. I refer to one, the book entitled "Inside Scientology" by Robert Kaufman. She said the library has no copies. No. 2, "The Scandal of Scientology" by Paulette Cooper. She responds the library currently has no copies. No. 3, "The Hidden Story of Scientology", by Omar Garrison. She responds there are two copies in the library and there are no copies at the central library. And it is out of print. No. 4, book entitled "L. Ron Hubbard, Messiah or Mad Man" by Bent Corydon. She responds there are supposed to be currently 13 copies in the library. However, seven of these copies are currently listed as lost and there are two copies on order to replace the two copies lost at the central library. No. 5, book entitled "Bare-Faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard" by Russell Miller. "She responds there are supposed to be four copies in the county library, two of the four copies are listed as lost. And the book is out of print. No. 6, "A Piece of Blue Sky", she responds there are supposed to be three copies in the county library, two of these three are currently listed as lost. She refers to the Time magazine article dated May 6th of 1991 and claims that the article is on microfilm and therefore the issue can be found in microfilm, but the print copy is missing. She also states that she instituted safeguards to protect reordenng these books based upon the letter that I sent her. Q. Now, turning your attention to Exhibit-99, the last paragraph on that document, that letter states: 'These missing books were in fact stolen from the library and destroyed in fulfillment of an internal directive by the church which instructs its members to eradicate all published materials critical of Scientology and to replace it with pro-Scientology materials. A. That's correct. Q. How do you know that these missing books were in fact stolen from the library? A. Because I was very much a part of the effort to steal the books from the library and destroy them. Q. Was

-Original Message-From: Martin H. Katchen [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Lloyd Miller, A-albionic Research [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Sunday, December 13, 1998 12:23 AMSubject: Re: [prj] Occult (Secret) Technology of Commercial Imperialism or Business Collectivism? Dear Lloyd: There may be one other group as old and as widespread and as conspiratorial as the British East India Company. I am speaking of the VOC, Lloyd Asks: What does VOC mean? the Dutch East Indies Company. Just as the British East India Company plundered and utilized the resources of India, so the VOC did with Java and ultimately, much of the rest of Indonesia and the Cape Colony. The VOC's territorial holdings were not nationalized until 1820, not long after the Congress of Vienna and only 16 years before the nationalization of India by the British Crown. Lloyd Remarks: I think we can assume that the British and Dutch East India Companies were co-ordinated after the Glorious Revolution and William was awarded the British Crown. The last Anglo-Dutch War was in the days of Cromwell, I believe. One wonders how the influence of the VOC spread throughout Dutch politics in its heyday and therafter. In Indonesia, it ruled indirectly via the Culture System in which Javanese rulers were obliged to cultivate certain amounts of acreage in agricultural products such as pepper or sugar that the VOC would sell in Europe. One wonders the degree to which the Javanese kleptocratic elite that has brought Indonesia to bankruptcy was the heirs to the VOC and its methods. Lloyd Sez: Yes, indeed! Probably very closely related. Many have called Britain's Raj socialistic. Or one can wonder about South Africa's Broederbond, the Boer secret society which was behind the replacement of Anglo rule in South Africa with Afrikaner rule in 1948 and the imposition of Apartheid. One wonders, but one would need to be literate in Dutch to find out, unfortuanately. At least the British East India Company material is in English. Lloyd Responds: Here, I think the record is pretty clear. The Dutch had long lost control of their settlers is South Africa though the Boer's fondness for slavery was part of the old Dutch system (Brazil too). When the British seized the Cape, they outlawed slavery, forcing the Dutch into their great trek into the interior to escape British rule. Contrary to some conspiracy theorists, Lord Milner and his Kindergarten where not the inventors of Apartheid...the British always worked toward a color blind rule of law. However, the British victory in the Boer war was of little use. The Boers quickly achieved political dominance through the failed institutions set-up by Milner after the war. Onlyl recenty were the Brits able to finally defeat the Boers through an alliance with the African majority under TuTu and Mandella, etc. One of Mandella's first acts was to rejoin the British Commonwealth.

Re: [CTRL] [Reality_Pump] Marcia: More Anglo-Mossad Blackmail of Clinton?
-Caveat Lector- I am new in this list and I don't think that the "United Snakes" policy in the Iraq affair serves any Israeli interests in the area. I really think we are defending only Anglo-American oil interests. There is no essential difference between Israeli interests and Anglo-American oil interests. Iraq would destroy Israel and the Anglo-American Oil cartel if it could. The Brits recognized Jewish settlement of Palestine as part of their balance of power/divide and conquer mideast strategy. True, Israel took their "indepedence" outside the original Brit plans, but the overall plan continues to function anyway as Israel is totally helpless without American aid. Basically, Israel serves to destabilize the middle east the in the interest of Anglo-American Oil Imperialism. The Oil Imperialists cannot allow a stable independent Arab dominated block to develop. Israel is key to classic divide and conquer tactics of Western Imperialism. *** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.

[CTRL] Scandal in 13 Acts
-Caveat Lector- Excerpted the first part of a Washington (DC) Post special @ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/td_pro logue.htm WASHINGTON POST MAGAZINE | DECEMBER 13, 1998 Picture: HOW IT CAME TO THIS: THE SCANDAL IN 13 ACTS BY DAVID FINKEL It was one of President Clinton's greatest days: the signing of a peace accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Yitzhak Rabin was at the White House. So was Yasser Arafat. So were George Bush and Jimmy Carter. So were Cabinet members and most members of Congress. And so was Walter Kaye, a lifelong insurance man, property and casualty his specialty, who five years later would come before the Ken Starr grand jury to explain how his presence at the White House that day was, arguably, the most consequential of all. "I'll tell you what happened," Walter Kaye would tell the grand jury. He was talking about the events leading up to September 13, 1993, when he was 70 years old, and recently retired, and rich, and living in New York, and feeling somewhat adrift. "I was going through a very, very difficult emotional period," he said. "I had suffered a heart attack, and they sold the business, and I was pushed out right away. A very emotional thing, you know. You start a business from scratch, and I don't want to brag, but we did have a very nice business. And I was in bad shape. CUT "Okay. Now you're familiar with the internship program at the White House?" "Not 100 percent, but I know they have a lot of these young interns working there." "Okay. And have you recommended people for jobs as interns in the White House during the Clinton administration?" "Yes." "And about how many people have you recommended, if you know?" "Off the top of my head, just two." "And who are they?" "Monica Lewinsky and my grandson." 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 FULL TEXT © Copyright 1998 The Washington Post Company AER The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Forwarded Message: Subj:SNET: HIGH NOON Date: 98-12-13 08:01:43 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Robert Sterling) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - SNETNEWS Mailing List From: Sandi Brockway / Macrocosm USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] HIGH NOON In the 1950s classic western about honor and conformity, fear and courage, Marshal Gary Cooper faces a murderous gang of killers all by himself while a town, paralyzed by fear, does nothing to help. Cooper risks not only his life but the love of Grace Kelly and does what honor, and a higher moral compass require of him. The spineless town, which had hired him to do for them what they would not do for themselves, vacillates, cringes and waffles. Cooper, terrified and abandoned, faces the gunmen alone. At the end of the movie the killers are dead but there is no resolution. The only thing that remains is an empty street awaiting the next group of bandits. There is no Marshal, no hero, no martyr. He has left in disgust, happily for him, with Grace by his side, his badge lying in the dust. There is nothing there worthy of sacrifice. The San Jose Mercury News reported, on November 22, that hearings in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) will take place sometime in mid to late January on Volume II of the CIA Inspector General's report on Contra drug trafficking. The Mercury calls the pending hearings, Congress' "final look" at the issue. With those hearings every issue raised by Gary Webb's stories and all the efforts of many men and women, for decades, will be laid to rest. There will be no more chances in our lifetimes. The matter will be officially closed. I offer you two scenarios. Scenario One: Moved by a massive outcry from the public and enormous pressure on the news media, HPSCI holds well publicized hearings, with advance publicity, and calls Gary Webb, Cele Castillo, Mike Levine, Mike Ruppert, Dee Ferdinand, Danillo Blandon, Oliver North, John Poindexter, Robert Gates, Alan Fiers and a dozen others as witnesses. The hearings result in a massive public outcry and Congress, faced with overwhelming evidence of CIA wrongdoing, condemns the Agency and opens the door for reparations, abolition of CIA, and long overdue reforms in our criminal justice system. Scenario Two: Due to the fact that no public interest was expressed, HPSCI holds sudden hearings, which are covered only by C-SPAN with no notice. The witness list is short and limited only to Fred Hitz, George Tenet and Maxine Waters. The major media does not cover the hearings live and brief spots on the evening news report only that CIA was sloppy and received a minor wrist-slapping for its association with drug dealers during the Contra war years. Vague recommendations are made that the CIA undertake a review of its procedures with no time-specific period for completion. The matter is closed. As CIA apologist David Korn of The Nation has predicted - "CIA gets away with it." The bandits all head for the saloon to get more whiskey, women and song. The town is doomed. Each citizen returns to hoping that someone else will be the next victim. There's a time for reading, for learning, and for waiting. There's also a time for doing. The scenario, which plays out in January, is entirely up to you. Make no mistake about the stakes. As reported by Alex Cockburn in his book Whiteout, New York Times reporter Keith Schneider wrote in 1987 that, "such a story could shatter the Republic." If you believe that life cannot exist without the Republic then do nothing. If you believe that life rests on something more fundamental and pure then get off your behind and do something - now. CIA is still dealing drugs and if they are not challenged then the saloon door, the entire town and you are standing wide open. With what has been revealed in Volume II we will never have a chance like this again. Throw Your Weight Around! FROM THE GOVERNMENT WE WANT: 1. Disqualification of retired CIA covert operative J. Porter Goss as Chairman of the House Permanent Select committee on Intelligence before any hearings on grounds of conflict of interest. 2. Adequate public notice in advance of the hearings so that the press may cover them. 3. Testimony from all relevant witnesses including Celerino Castillo, Mike Levine, Rick Horn, Mike Ruppert, Bob Parry and Gary Webb.

Dear Lloyd: Several more thoughts come to mind. First, one can see parallel developments of socialized corporations in Japan, in which commercial groups which later became zaibatsu such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi were already active during Tokugawa times. Secondly, I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Knights Templar as a possible antecedent of the East India Company. They were bankers and financiers and settled in the British Isles following their persecution by Phillip Augustus in France. Lloyd Responds: I think the connection is thisthe Knights Templar was basically a continental secret society with ties to the Middle East dating from the Crusades. No doubt well connected to the commerical imperialism of Venice. After Philip looted the Knights (killing the goose the lays the golden eggs?) the remnants of the Knight fled to Scotland where it transformed itself into Masonry and was taken-over by the British Crown at the time of the Glorious Revolution. Can't prove it yet, but I'll bet that the power in the East India Company were 100% Masons within a few decades of the Glorious Revolution. An aside...to often researchers are thrown off by the difference between English and Continental Masonry. Nonsense! In England, the King's secret society supports his government. On the continent it seeks to destroy his enemies!ie, the Pope and the Most Catholic Monarchs of Spain, France, and Austria! And thirdly, the socializing tendencies of capitalism were quite obvious to Karl Marx, who saw capitalism as a neccesary step from feudalism to socialism and ultimately communism. According to Marx, capitalists would be constrained to merge their enterprises into monopolies which would be under pressure to squeeze workers still further. Capitalists read Marx and took it to heart.( They still do; perhaps it takes a capitalist to slog through all three volumes of Das Kapital). They related to his diagnosis and his prognosis and took steps to adapt to it. all the best Martin H.

-Caveat Lector- On Sat, 12 Dec 1998, Sno0wl wrote: Just one more case of the media--which seems to be in the pocket of the Republicans and the radical right and whoever the puppetmasters are--calling the shots before the play is done. What media are YOU watching? All the mainstream shows I watch (CNN, The Today Show, et al), they all unanimously kowtow to the Klintons...treating them like royalty, never subjecting them to hard questions. And this past week, the talking heads on these shows have looked 'shell shocked', totally surprised that the impeachment articles were passed... Just a few minutes ago, on Fox News, one of the talking heads opined that 'the media' will present impeachment in the worst possible light, and that the media 'will not allow impeachment of the president'... Hardly sounds like they're in the pocket of the Republicans... Nothing new. They haven't stopped all year and they're not about to stop now. The only thing that makes this "surprising" is the polls--which still say this is NOT what the American public wants. First off, even if these polls are accurate, they matter not a whit. The government is one of LAWS, and hopefully of our representatives going with their conscious, and not one of public opinion polls. Secondly, I am extremely skeptical of these polls...first off, most of the public equates the word 'impeachment' with automatic removal from office, so if you ask them just a blunt "Should the president be impeached?", they assume the questioner is asking "Should the president be immediately removed from office?", and answer no. I think the resulting answers would be very different if the question was worded "Should the charges against the president be assessed by the House of Representatives, and if judged to have some basis, then passed on to the Senate to conduct an investigation, and if such an investigation uncovered serious wrong-doing, have the Senate remove the President from office by a two-thirds affirmative vote in the Senate?"... The debate on the Judiciary Committee yesterday touched on this...the Republicans finally brought the fact that most people have an erroneous idea of what 'impeachment' means by repeatedly stating 'the House accuses, the Senate tries (and possibly convicts)'and the Democrats reaction to that betrays their desire to keep the exact definition of 'impeachment' cloudy in the minds of the public, so they can 'justify' their claim that the public doesn't want it... Listening to the callers into CSPAN, those who support Clinton amply displayed their ignorance of just what impeachment is...in fact, they almost all betrayed the fact that they don't even know what the 4 articles of impeachment actually state... And that is the most frightening element of this whole thing. That neither the Congressional majority nor the media cares a fig what the electorate wants. The majority of Germans supported Hitler, too... The majority of Americans at one time supported the enslavement of the Negro race... The majority of Americans at one time supported the right of only white males having the right to vote... The majority of Americans at one time supported denying the right of a woman to a safe and legal abortion... Just because a majority supports an idea or a person, does NOT mean such support is morally, or legally, correct... Someone here made an excellent post some time back about the humiliation of Democratic presidents in our time. They have not merely been accused of "wrongdoing," but have been dragged before the American public in shame. Lord knows I'm no knee-jerk Republican supporter, but the only Democratic presidents 'in our time' have been (going in reverse order): 1. Clinton -- who came into office with a lot of 'baggage', and an obvious defect of character where he admittedly allows his hormones to control his actions... Not to mention all the other really serious stuff... all the mysterious deaths surrounding him, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Chinagate, etc Hardly a saint without blemish, one can NOT blame anyone but Clinton himself for his own undoing... 2. Carter -- shot himself in his own foot with the Panama Canal, the neutron bomb debate, and the economy... While the release of the Iran hostages was obviously 'gummed up' by the Reagan camp, one cannot forget the fact that it was Carter's policies which LEAD to the Embassy takeover in the first place... Again, someone who has to take a significant amount of blame for his own downfall...which, in fact, he does, based on an interview with him I heard a few months ago. So, that about covers the two Democratic presidents whom could reasonably fit the bill of those you feel have been the victim of some sort of rightwing vendetta... But that only takes us

It's more a matter of not wanting to be 'locked out of the loop' by the current administration, no matter WHO is in power nor the party they are affiliated with...and so we no longer get JOURNALISM asking hard-hitting questions, but REPORTING which utilizes blown-dried heads talking fluff pieces (like Katie Couric at the White House this past week, on the very day the President's council was to go before the House Judiciary Committee, talking with Bill and Hill about the WH Christmas tree, how 'lovely' Hillary's dress was, a dress which apparantly got Hill a Vogue cover shot...asking the Prez what the holiday season meant to him, how was the First Family going to spend Christmas, etc. etc. -- hardly 'hard hitting journalism', and hardly an example of what Marilyn claims is the media's vendetta against the Clinton's)... Yes, it is surprising that the polls say this - if they are legitimate. Actually the most frightening element would be the possibility that these polls might indeed be true, which would prove that our society has finally devolved literally into "the ignorant masses." It hasn't 'devolved' into ignorant masses...it always has been. It's the rare citizen who has actually read the Constitution and Bill of Rights, let alone UNDERSTANDS them...and you will find more Americans find politics 'boring' than not...hence, someone who doesn't read a newspaper (most Americans don't), perhaps gets their news via radio during the morning commute, and would rather watch a repeat of Seinfeld than CSPAN, are NOT going to have a clear idea of what exactly the term 'impeachment means'...a confusion which the Democrats are exploiting... You will find that most of the polls are either conducted by the media -- which we have shown is strongly in the Clinton camp -- or by pollsters hired by the Democrats themselves Hardly objective... Especially since we don't see the ACTUAL questions the pollsters ask when they call a person...it's been reported that in some cases, a preliminary question along the lines of 'Who did you vote for in the last election?' or 'Are you a Democrat, Republican, or unaffiliated?', or a blatant 'Do you support President Clinton?' is asked...and any answer which implies the answerer is not already a firm supporter, or at least leaning in that direction, garners a polite 'thank you for your time', and is hung up on, without the question regarding impeachment being asked. I haven't seen any poll where it was first determined that the person being polled even understood what impeachment really is. And I'd like to see the RAW DATA garnered by such polls, instead of the 'spin' put on those numbers...as anyone who's taken a basic statistics course, it's easy to 'massage' data to imply whatever conclusion one wishes... As Mark Twain once opined: "There are lies...there are damned lies... and then there are statistics!" I would not argue that "neither the Congressional majority nor the media care a fig what the electorate wants," but in fairness, and in the interest of accuracy, I would have to add that neither does the congressional minority.

Declan McCullagh has temporarily placed the transcript of that June 1998 hearing online. His article: http://www.well.com/user/declan/y2k/martiallaw.0698.txt The transcript: http://www.well.com/user/declan/y2k/senate.y2k.0698.txt "Inter arma silent leges." * http://www.ottawacitizen.com/national/981212/2098082.html 'Martial law' rushed for Y2K chaos Report warns government to be ready to invoke federal Emergencies Act Saturday 12 December 1998 David Pugliese The Ottawa Citizen The federal government should consider invoking the Emergencies Act, the successor to the War Measures Act, if the millennium bug causes widespread chaos, according to newly obtained government documents. The report, by the Year 2000 contingency planning group of Emergency Preparedness Canada, calls for orders and regulations for the Emergencies Act to be ready by the end of March. [...] "Among the activities that must be done to meet the problems resulting from Y2000 failures is development of relevant emergency orders and regulations required for the invocation of emergency provisions under the Emergencies Act." [...] In the reports, military officials also raise concern that their ability to help out if the millennium bug causes widespread problems relies heavily on Canada's electrical, transportation, food and water and sewage systems having their own Year 2000 problems under control: "The ability of the (Canadian Forces) to provide civil assistance is highly dependent on the state of preparedness of these infrastructure items since the CF, like everyone else, is highly dependent on smooth delivery of these supplies and services," the documents state. "Without aggressive action in these industrial and service sectors, the (Canadian Forces) may not be able to make a significant impact across the nation as a force of last resort." Military officials point out that more than 16,000 troops were needed to deal with the effects of the ice storm that hit Ontario and Quebec this year.

Much has been written on the psychological aftermath concerning what happened in W.W.II in Europe as with other wars and conquered peoples. As an American, I experience this phenomena steming from what happened to the indigenous people and the black community (slavery) and it will still be many generations before all of these issues are finally resolved. Events of this magnitude take centuries to resolve within a culture - even longer if the "injured" people remain isolated from the larger community. I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. (where there are many large black communities) and I now live in the Southwest near several Indian reservations. The communities are different - the dynamics are the same. I have seen extreme behavior on both sides (white and non-white) in coping with these dynamics. These behaviors from the white population range from shouldering the entire "blame" and loosing themselves in platitudes and servitude to militant opposition and blatant hate campaigns. The behaviors I've observed from the non-white population range from submission with deep resentment and hatred to playing on the guilty feelings some have and trying to get "away" with everything they possibly can. These extreme behaviors will continue until a balance, or rather, as resolution is finally reached. The decision on the Anne Frank diary is likely an extreme move - a cultural adjustment. There have been many prior to this and there will be many more.

I'll have more on this situation in a seperate message as I'm waiting for a fax from Ron who is not on the internet. This message, however is a Y2K Message to Americans and people all over the world, from Ron in Chile: Ron knows a former high-level CIA intelligence officer who is currently looking for land in Patagonia, the vast, largely unpopulated area in southern Chile, due to concerns about y2k possibly triggering nuclear war as well as widespread infrastructure collapse. Ron's friend has been down to Patagonia where a huge building boom is underway due to massive y2k relocation to the area by Hollywood millionaires, high level government officials and former government officials, and other wealthy people who have inside knowledge of whats going on vis a vis y2k and the New World Order... Henry Kissinger and Jane Fonda are among the people who have bought huge tracts of land (100 hectares and even bigger) in Patagonia where bulldozers are busy building roads and builders are hard at work building elaborate y2k retreats... The former CIA officer doesn't like a lot of the Hollywood crowd, so is looking for land far away from where they've been buying it because he doesn't want them as neighbors. PENTAGON ISSUES FALSE Y2K COMPLIANCE REPORTS The November 26th issue of USA Today had this to say about falsified y2k compliance reports coming from the Pentagon: "The Pentagon office respondible for safety and security of U.S. nuclear stockpiles and emergency response in a nuclear incident acknowledged falsifying readiness reports on the looming Year 2000 computer problem." The article notes that Sen.Bennett (R-UT) Chair of the Senates Y2K Committee of the government says they "all lie to us about Y2K," but he is thankful that, "there aren't as many people lying to us as there used to be."

From: Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Large scale mining does not need the sizable operations you claim, if the vein is subterranean and pure This much of M. Dagobert's reply is absolutely plausible. Nature's richest underground precious metals deposits are native gold found in quartz vugs (cavities). These free-standing masses of pure metal approach 24 carat and take the form of crystals, wires, fern-like formations, etc. Many examples of this type of deposit can be found in museums, rock shops and private collections all over the American west and elsewhere. Legends persist of the above-described gold deposits having been formed on a monumental scale in certain locations. Large cavities (even caverns) containing huge masses of gold that could be "harvested" by the ton underground. No "mining" per se, and no surface disturbance of any kind, other than perhaps a small portal or cavern entrance to access the subterranean site. Under radical circumstances such as these, a small group of workers could quite conceivably amass and store an enormous treasure with no one on the "outside" aware of it (particularly if the vicinity was relatively remote to begin with). Out of sight - out of mind. By the way, legends of fabulous "lost" (or should we say "secret"?) natural gold deposits persist in many locations around the world. Most of the early exploration of the New World by the Spanish and others during the 16th century was in pursuit of such legends. People are still trying to locate these sites. With respect to M. Dagobert's claims, I suppose one could research the mineralization of southern France to establish if such a potential exists there and evaluate his story based upon the evidence. Of course, such an exercise would be a waste of time because, whatever the odds, remember the first rule of gold mining: gold is where you find it. Regards, Steve C. At last!

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Impeachment Watch Speaker-Elect Supports Impeachment, Vows to Block Censure Livingston makes up his mind WASHINGTON -- The battle lines over allowing the House to censure President Clinton rather than impeach him hardened sharply Saturday, as Representative Robert L. Livingston, the Speaker-designate, vowed to block such a move and White House allies promised to take the fight to the American public. Livingston shed his ambiguity on the issue moments after the House Judiciary Committee rejected censure as an alternative, and the panel's chairman, Henry J. Hyde, urged House Republican leaders to keep it off the floor, saying such a move would threaten the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. In revealing his position, Livingston said that he strongly supported impeachment and that censure was not envisioned by the Constitution's founders. "Censure is out of the realm of responsibility of the House of Representatives," Livingston said before flying back to Washington from Louisiana Saturday. "We have a constitutional responsibility to charge or not charge, impeach or not impeach." Nonetheless, President Clinton's supporters mounted a full-scale campaign to force Livingston to reverse course, aiming to build public support for an alternative to impeachment and to put a glaring spotlight on Livingston's ability to cope with his newly won leadership duties. The Democratic challenge, already facing long odds before Saturday, now confronts a unified House Republican leadership, bolstered by the arguments offered by Hyde, which are likely to influence many undecided Republicans. Only a strong, vocal protest from several moderate Republicans who oppose impeachment could force Livingston to reverse course at this late hour, censure supporters say. And up to now, any Republican who has openly opposed impeachment or supported censure has been hammered mercilessly by conservative groups and right-wing talk radio. Representative Tom DeLay, the Republican whip and a fierce critic of Clinton, fears that allowing a censure vote would siphon votes from impeachment. Recognizing this dynamic, the President's allies Saturday tried to begin gathering the broad public support for censure to give moderate Republicans the political cover they need to openly challenge their leadership. But White House allies voiced worries that it would be hard to rouse a public distracted by the holiday season, even though opinion polls are running hard against impeachment. Moments after the Judiciary Committee voted out a fourth article of impeachment, Democrats on the panel gave an impassioned argument for a censure alternative that condemns the President's "reprehensible conduct" and leaves open the possibility that Clinton could face "criminal and civil penalties" after leaving office. It does not call for a fine. "If you want to punish the President or brand the President with scarlet letters or stamp him on the forehead, censure is the way to do it," said Representative Martin Meehan, a Massachusetts Democrat. To buttress their case, Democrats underscored the gravity of an impeachment vote, by arguing that casting such a vote explicitly urges the President's removal. "This is not sending to the Senate a questionnaire," said Representative Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat. "This is a statement the President should be thrown out." Several Democrats sought to put pressure on Livingston. Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the ranking Democrat on the committee, conceded that the censure resolution would fail in committee (it did, 22 to 14), but focused on its chances on the House floor. "We will practice our arguments Saturday and prepare them for a larger presentation," Conyers said. "My hope is on the untested Speaker-elect, Bob Livingston." Republicans on the panel rejected the censure resolution as unconstitutional, a bad precedent and feckless. In a letter to Livingston and Speaker Newt Gingrich released moments after the committee adjourned, Hyde said "a resolution or amendment proposing censure of the President in lieu of impeachment violates the rules of the House, threatens the separation of powers, and fails to meet constitutional muster." Representative Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, said the President's crimes were too serious for censure. "This President mocks the Congress, and this censure is exactly what this President wants," he said in debate Saturday. "He will take this as a vindication of his mocking and we should not give it to him." As committee Democrats began their frontal assault, the House Democratic leader, Representative Richard A. Gephardt, appealed in a letter to Livingston to allow a censure vote on the House floor. Gephardt's

According to news reports, he blew up when his media appendage Whorealdo Rivera quoted from Clinton's own latest neo-grovel missive on national television, Thursday night, Dec. 10, before he--Clinton--had even seen it. Clinton was so steamed he went wandering around Washington, D.C., drinking a can of diet Coke in the winter air next morning, and the D.C. police had to block off several streets for the President's caffeinated, but non-fattening stroll. Finally, however, he returned to the White House dungeon, yielded to his handlers (who were standing by with straight jackets), went on T.V. all by himself (bumping into a White House column on the way to the Rose Garden podium), and again denied criminality even as the House Judiciary Committee was voting out Articles of Impeachment. Clinton said he hadn't done anything wrong, but he was sure sorry about it. Paul McNulty, speaking for the House Judiciary Committee, was unimpressed: "Even in his most recent apology, the President continues to deny the serious criminal acts of perjury, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering he has committed and to rely on technical legal arguments advanced by his attorneys." But Clinton, much like a teenage boy who has had a fight with his girlfriend and so goes tooling down the highway well over the speed limit, had already decided the appropriate response to the House Judiciary Committee was to put himself and his royal entourage in danger by traveling to the Middle East, to Israel, to be guarded by 15,000 Israeli policemen, 500 of them surrounding the Jerusalem Hilton where he and his political aide Hillary would be staying. Presumably, he left the football--the briefcase with the Gold Codes for starting nuclear war--at home, even assuming that his handlers had not once again removed that little baby entirely from the reach of the president's stubby and impeachable fingers. Don't fear, Clinton is being well-monitored. The Jerusalem Hilton is of sufficiently recent construction that the Mossad was able to bug all the rooms from the foundation up. But some of the time the Clintons are out on the move--he in a kaffiyeh, she in a yarmulke-- about the land, rebuilding Solomon's Temple, bringing down plagues from heaven, touring the nuclear facilities at Dimona, and lighting a condom-and-foreskin-laden Christmas tree at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Some ungrateful Israelis have displayed signs: "Clinton go home." This is the second stage of the Peace Process of the Wye River agreement, during which Clinton and Netanyahu each seek to undermine the other's position, as they suddenly realise their personal interests are diametrically opposed. Meanwhile, Hillary was particularly miffed that Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) voted for Articles of Impeachment "for the children of this nation," claiming that he had stolen her line supporting the other side. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said, however, she opposed "Article I of the Constitution," while Rep. William Delahunt (D-Mass) noted "this is a capital case; this case involves the death penalty," letting escape the fervent hope of the Democrats of what will ensue during Clinton's Middle East peace trip. Such a capital solution would put a clean end to this whole impeachment business, with tearful widow Hillary left to scarf up votes of sympathy and launch her own political career--for the children, of course. In his Rose Garden neo-grovel, Clinton begged for "censure and rebuke," and hence should be gratified that impending impeachment by the full House of Representatives could serve in both capacities, though not, of course, as effectively as would subsequent conviction by the Senate and removal from office. Clinton admitted it was "hard to hear yourself called deceitful and manipulative," but anything Congress would do "would pale in comparison to the consequences of the pain I have caused my family. There is no greater agony." Hillary was, of course, there at his side, the tears rolling down her face--oops, actually she was on the opposite side of the country, in San Francisco, touring the Conservatory of Flowers, showing (as the Associate Press put it) "no hint of any emotion concerning the crisis back home as she basked in the goodwill evident in this traditionally Democratic city." Pain? What pain? An upbeat Hillary was picking out rare plants with which to decorate her late husband's grave

Like most fresh young officers throughout history, he was a great believer in discipline and in doing things strictly by the book, so he was scandalized to discover that his men had adopted the natives' practice of inhaling the smoke of burning tobacco leaves. He ordered that they stop at once. The next day his First Sergeant, as most First Sergeants throughout history have done, explained the facts of life to the new CO: the men couldn't stop, and he was risking mutiny unless the order was rescinded. Luckily the young officer relented, his men continued to smoke, and the fortress overlooking San Juan harbor eventually became one of Spain's most important strategic outposts in the New World. More than 400 years later, a bunch of gringo politicians and lawyers were shocked -- shocked -- to discover that nicotine was addictive. In 1670, the pioneering Dutch anatomist Kerckring described his autopsies of heavy smokers: The tongue of the cadaver is black and gives off an odor of poison; the trachea is coated with soot, like a cooking pot; the lungs are dried-out and almost friable. The corpse gives the overall impression that someone had lit a fire among the organs. In 1761, physician John Hill of London published a clinical study of tobacco use, concluding that snuff users are vulnerable to cancers of the nose. In 1795, physician Sammuel von Soemmering of Maine wrote that cancers of the lip occur primarily among pipe smokers. In 1821, the French Dictionnaire des Sciences Medicales mentioned "the corrosive action of tobacco on the tissues" and recommended that its medical use be severely limited and carefully supervised. In 1836, Samuel Green wrote in the New England Almanack and Farmer's Friend that tobacco is "an insecticide, a poison, a filthy habit," and that it "can kill a man." In 1897, the Supreme Court of Tennessee upheld the state's total ban on the sale of cigarettes, finding smoking to be "wholly noxious and deleterious to health." Nearly 100 years later, a bunch of politicians and lawyers were shocked -- shocked -- to discover that smoking was bad for one's health. Of all the innumerable public hypocrisies of this decade -- which bids fair to be remembered as "The Hypocritical '90s" anyway -- the recent settlement between the tobacco industry and the Attorneys General of the various States is clearly a standout. Even the Clinton White House would be hard-pressed to match either the mendacity of the states' rhetoric or the incredible arrogance and greed which that rhetoric is covering up. The ostensible rationale for the settlement is to reimburse the states for the cost of treating smoking-related illnesses covered by Medicare. But this is ridiculous: First, it makes the assumption that if these patients hadn't been smokers, no Medicare funds would have been spent on them. But everybody dies of something; if not lung cancer, emphysema, or heart disease this year, then prostate or colon cancer, liver disease, or just "old age" a few years hence. Economists have estimated that smokers actually save Medicare funds by premature death, which reduces expenditure on nursing homes, invalid care, and the like. Second, the public treasury is already raking in loads of loot from smokers. For example, Florida, which initiated this entire shakedown, claims that it spends nearly $300 million annually on smoking-related diseases. But Florida takes in more than $1.6 billion annually in tobacco taxes -- five times its medical expenses. Total cigarette taxes average 53 cents a pack nationally, and even the lowest-tax state (Virginia) takes in more than twice as much in tobacco taxes as it spends on the medical care of smokers. And, by the way, who is forcing the states to pay for medical care for smokers, anyway? The tobacco companies? Nope. It's the Federal Government. So if the states don't like paying these costs, their quarrel is with Washington, not with the industry. Another reason advanced for the settlement's draconian terms is to punish the Evil Tobacco Companies for lying to the public about the health hazards of smoking. Come now: Since 1964, every pack sold in the US has carried a prominent warning about the

His first book was Shogun's Ghost: The Dark Side of Japanese Education, written after a period in which he taught at Hakodate University, in Japan. He is presently an Associate Professor of Economics and Political Science at Hawaii Pacific University. How did you get the idea for your book The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible? And what are the reasons for its success? As an international economist in Washington D.C., I saw the folly of government. Its every action was to get in the way of people who were trying to improve life through the marketplace. So I left government and began to teach economics in Alaska. Eventually I stumbled across the libertarian philosophy which clarified my own thinking and shaped the direction of my teaching. When I moved to Hawaii I began delivering 90 second radio commentaries on a local business station and was a little discouraged that my radical free market ideas were generating no response. I was dating a girl at the time who enjoyed theater and so I prepared a fantasy dialog with her that was patterned after the adventures of a children's book, The Little Prince. I was surprised at the positive response this series had, even among businessmen. Having a good laugh was the best way to hear new ideas. One of these businessmen was Sam Slom, President of Small Business Hawaii, a coalition of 5000 small business owners in Hawaii that is always lobbying for business causes. Sam offered to publish the book as an educational publication of their organization. So I edited the material, found an illustrator, and helped distribute the book. I used it in my university economics classes and the students loved it. Even more surprising was the universality of this approach. It seems that liberals in Common Cause and conservatives in the Christian Coalition were all getting enthused about the book and handing out to their friends. People don't like having ideas crammed down their throats, but they do love ideas that are subtle, thought provoking, and humorous. In your landmarks, you've inserted Lao-Tzu. What's the importance of his thought for libertarianism? My university in Hawaii has students from 91 countries, many of whom are from Asia. It was important to me that these students realize that the ideas of freedom are universal. Indeed, it is fun for my Asian students to know that profound advocates of limited government existed in China long before Adam Smith. Lao Tzu's ideas were probably successful for much the same reason: he was subtle, thought provoking, and even humorous. My libertarian ideas originated from Western thought, but it is fair to say that they were confirmed by Eastern. Speaking a little about Ken Scholland the man, not the writer. How do you approach the basic ideas behind Terra Libertas? In the back of the book I state my philosophy. It rests on the principle of self ownership. To deny that is to accept slavery, that someone else has a claim on your life. This idea has been challenged by both Christian and nihilist friends and relatives--both of whom I respect. In summary, the first group says that you don't own your life, but God does. To which I reply that even God would allow you a choice on that, He doesn't force the decision. The second group says that ownership is a matter of might. To which I reply that a brute is shortsighted, and even self- destructive, to believe that. A life worth pursuing exists so long as there is a distinction between might and right. The debate is endless, but I state my premises. "This idea has been challenged by both Christian and nihilist friends and relatives--both of whom I

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 2 Issue 42/A The Laissez Faire City Times December 14, 1998 - Volume 2, Issue 42 Editor Chief: Emile Zola - Travel in Vietnam: Hoi An by Richard S. Ehrlich Asia Correspondent HOI AN, Vietnam -- A covered, Japanese bridge connects this jewelbox town to a glorious past. Nestled on the coast of central Vietnam, the 15th century port of Hoi An was a bustling trade center populated by wealthy merchants who built proud homes with teak pillars. At its zenith during the 17th and 18th centuries, when Hoi An was one of the busiest and most prestigious ports along Vietnam's coast, ships brought treasures from Japan, China and elsewhere. Pagodas, temples and shrines were erected to give thanks to deities and ancestors who smiled upon Hoi An from the heavens above. But 100 years ago, dreams of a permanent place on the crossroads of commerce and culture suddenly vanished. What happened to those rich residents who splurged constructing the bridge, the teak houses, and other lavish architecture? The sad truth is they suddenly decided to change their address to a newer, bigger port, just 20 miles north up the road, called Danang. Little did they realize their move from Hoi An would seal the town in a time-warp, preserving the way the port evolved, one century ago. Hoi An History Archeologists discovered ceramics dating back 2,200 years ago in and around Hoi An, indicating fishermen and farmers originally dwelt here. From about the year 200 to the mid-900s, Hoi An was part of the mighty Champa Kingdom. Ancient Persian and Arab texts praised Hoi An as an excellent place for ships to secure fresh provisions. After Vietnamese military offensives ousted the Champas, Hoi An continued as an important river port. Vietnam's first major relationship with the western world occurred nearby, in 1516, when Portuguese sailors came ashore at Danang. A decade later, Catholic missionaries followed, and began trying to convert the region's population. In the mid-1500s, Hoi An's main street, Le Loi, was built. As Hoi An's reputation grew, it became an opulent town. Residents ploughed profits into stately homes adorned by balconies, curved rooftops, and delicate woodwork. Some people opted for French-style shutters and grand porticos. Investment and a competitive form of displaying one's status, quickly produced a town rich in cultural and artistic merit. Typhoons strong enough to sink ships were good news to Hoi An. Vessels packed with expensive goods would seek its shelter during storms. Sea-faring Chinese, Thai, Dutch, Portuguese, British, French, and Japanese merchants were eager to do business with the port's Vietnamese, who were able to resupply their ships, swap goods, and provide other services for anyone engaged in long-haul, import-export traffic. Hoi An also offered fine quality, local silk and other fabric, plus delicate blue-and-white porcelain, ivory, mother-of-pearl, lacquer, and foodstuffs such as tea, sugar, areca nuts and pepper. Seasonal winds which blow across the South China Sea made Hoi An an ideal stopover between northern and southeast Asia. During the spring, winds pushed vessels south from Japan and China. The arriving merchants would stay in the port several weeks, doing business, until summer arrived. Then, the winds reversed course and powered the ships northward towards home. As profits grew, foreign representatives working for Japanese and Chinese traders, set up residence in Hoi An to work full-time. By the 1600s, Japanese buildings appeared in the southern "Japanese quarter" along the river. The covered bridge was built in the 17th century by proud Japanese traders to cross a small tributary which flows into the river. Fifty years afterwards, a "Cantonese quarter" evolved nearby, inspiring temples, shrines and pagodas to honor Chinese gods and goddesses favored by sailors and fishermen from southern China's Fukien coast. In 1615, Portuguese Jesuits built the first Christian mission in Vietnam at Hoi An, along with a mission in Danang and Hanoi. One of the most famous visitors to Hoi An during the 17th century was French missionary Alexandre de Rhodes, who created the relatively easy-to-read, Latin-style script which Vietnamese language still uses. Escalating feuds during the 18th and 19th centuries, among competing royal families in and around the nearby imperial city of Hue, eventually wrecked Hoi An's future. The battles devastated the town in the 1700s. Though the town was rebuilt, its economy crashed, which in turn caused its river to silt up due to a lack of funds for dredging. Merchants' ships could no longer travel from the coast up the river to reach Hoi An. Frustrated investors and officials decided it was easier and more secure to build a new port at Danang -- which the French called Tourane -- especially since Danang's
[CTRL] Y2K: What's a Reasonable Person to Do?
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 2 Issue 42/A The Laissez Faire City Times December 14, 1998 - Volume 2, Issue 42 Editor Chief: Emile Zola - Y2K: What's a Reasonable Person to Do? by Don L. Tiggre Just about everyone has heard of the year 2000 computer problem (also called Y2K, or, the Millennium Bug), but no one really knows what will happen when the clocks tick over to 00:00:01 on January 1, 2000. Uncertainty notwithstanding, there are some useful Y2K considerations that reasonable people should consider. First, they should recognize the uncertainty. There are computer experts--people who have worked in the field for decades--who are certain that nothing major will happen. They say that a few businesses with exceptionally inept management might go under, but the scare stories are unrealistic and irresponsible. There are also computer experts--people who have worked in the field for decades--who are certain that there is simply no way everything that needs fixing will be fixed on time. They claim there are not enough people to do the job, even if the money to pay them could be found. If the experts do not agree, how then should prudent people prepare? Are those who are stockpiling goods being hysterical, or are those who are doing nothing burying their heads in the sand? Uncertainty notwithstanding, much is known about the problem. The very least people should do is to inform themselves. They should know what it means that many computers "think" all years are 19-something. They understand why most businesses and government agencies cannot simply turn their clocks back to "give them more time." They should be aware that the problem is almost upon us; many systems use 99 as a null value and that the fiscal year 2000 will be hitting various organizations throughout 1999. Most importantly, they should know what kinds of systems, especially among those they rely on, might be affected. Even the most skeptical commentators agree that, at the very least, Y2K will be expensive to fix, and some things will not get fixed on time. Utah's Senator Bennett, who chairs a US Senate committee on Y2K, estimates that it will cost $1.4 billion to fix the computers at the Department of Treasury (not including the IRS, which has tried and failed repeatedly to update its computer systems) and $600 billion for all the computers in the world that need fixing. Some estimates for the global figure run as high as $1.635 trillion-that's more than the US government's entire budget last year. Except by obtaining loans, this cost cannot be spread out; the fiscal year 2000 will be upon us in months. So, the very least that can be forecast is a huge drain on the economy worldwide, one that has not been planned for by most businesses and governments. A recession would be a very plausible consequence of a rapid diversion of funds from production and growth to damage control. Among the more concerned commentators-by no means the most alarmist-is Senator Bennett, who believes a recession is all but inevitable. He also fears that 40 percent or more of the nation's power grid will go down in the first moments of the year 2000. The consequences of that in itself are frightening, let alone what could happen to telecommunications and other critical computer-intensive industries. A single set of power lines in eastern Canada was brought down by a powerful ice storm last winter, leaving a million people without electricity during the coldest months of the year. The impact of nearly half of the US (125 million people) being without power in January would be difficult to describe without resorting to fiction--and such a scenario is by no means the most dire one predicted! Another consideration that must not be overlooked is the danger arising from the very attempts to make fixes. In the now-famous "Smith Barney" mix-up, $19,000,000 were accidentally added to 525,000 financial management accounts overnight. This was done while expert programmers were implementing a Y2K fix. The frightening part is that the new software was thoroughly tested off-line first; the people implementing the fix obviously thought it would be safe and never dreamed that a ten trillion dollar error would result. As 1999 gets underway, and the fiscal year 2000 looms closer and closer, we can reasonably expect such mistakes to increase in frequency and magnitude of harm done. It is neither exaggeration nor hysteria to predict that, as computer-controlled heavy and medical equipment malfunction, the harm could even be lethal. So, what does a responsible person do, in addition to informing his or herself? People should think about the possibilities and form contingency plans. This costs very little, and could prove more important than a basement full of supplies. While it won't be useful for people to bankrupt themselves buying emergency
[CTRL] The Siege: PsyOps Movie Prepares U.S. for Martial Law
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 2 Issue 42/A The Laissez Faire City Times December 14, 1998 - Volume 2, Issue 42 Editor Chief: Emile Zola - The Siege: PsyOps Movie Prepares U.S. for Martial Law by Uri Dowbenko The Siege is a slick commercial for the American Police State. Starting with actual newsclips intermixed with movie footage, a radical fundamentalist Muslim cleric is taken hostage. President Clinton -- out of context -- says "I am outraged by it," a speech he made after the Oklahoma City Bombing. Then he says, "Those who did it must not be allowed to go unpunished." That was the stump speech for his so-called Anti-Terrorism Bill, which didn't have a chance of passing before the Bombing. The mix of "real" newsclips intercut with movie footage -- a muezzin's calls to prayer and subsequent scenes of slaughter in the desert -- makes an unsubtle direct correlation between Muslims and terrorism. Cut to Manhattan. FBI man Anthony Hubbard (Denzel Washington) has to deal with a hostage crisis and a bus bomb which turns out to be a ruse. His partner is Lebanese, an Arab-American named Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) who is gung-ho and acts as a translator -- until they grab his kid and put him in the New York Concentration Camp. Understandably that sours him on the FBI. Soon enough there's interagency rivalry with CIA woman Elise Kraft (Annette Bening). She tells the FBI man that "we're on the same team," but they both know it's a lie. He tells her "CIA has no charter to operate domestically." Yuck yuck -- as if that ever kept the CIA from engaging in criminal activities on US soil. The subtext of the movie, grounded in real-life history, is that CIA financed and trained indigenous "rebel" movements around the world, then unceremoniously betrayed them when US policy changed. The betrayed CIA "terrorists" then typically returned to US soil becoming pawns in elaborate spy agency games, which most recently resulted in the New York World Trade Center Bombing and the Oklahoma City Bombing. Later, in a flash of realization about her own culpability, the CIA woman says to Samir (Sami Bouajila), one of the suspected "terrorists": "Don't tell me we financed your operation?" He smiles disbelievingly at her naivete. Disinformation rules in The Siege. Here are the most obvious propaganda factoids. 1. Demonizing the Militia. Continuing the mainstream-media propaganda, Denzel Washington asks his fellow feds in the FBI office, "You think it's militia?" "Not their style," they answer, as if most militas were capable of "terrorism" without the active participation by undercover CIA, FBI, or BATF agent provocateurs. 2. Demonizing the Internet. "Everybody on the Internet knows explosives," says Washington, spreading the lie about how the Internet is a tool of subversion and therefore must be controlled. Department of Justice has lobbied long and hard for anti-internet, anti-cryptography legislation. 3. Demonizing Cash. "Where does a guy like you come up with ten thousand dollars?" the FBI man berates the Arab suspect, implying that cash anywhere is immediately suspect. According to US State Propaganda, only "terrorists" or "money launderers" use cash. This reinforces the suspicion in moviegoers' minds that only "criminals" would have any concerns about privacy. General Devereaux (Bruce Willis) takes over when a state of emergency and martial law is declared in Manhattan. There's a couple of throwaway lines -- complete with requisite handwringing -- about Posse Comitatus -- the law which mandates that US troops can not be used against US citizens -- and how President Lincoln suspended habeus corpus, an unchallenged precedent for martial law. Willis says "We can't go in until the president invokes the War Powers Act." Does that mean the country is still operating under war and emergency powers? Dr. Eugene Schroeder's controversial book Constitution: Fact or Fiction (Buffalo Creek Press, PO BOx 2424, Cleburne, Texas 76033) explains this provocative thesis. He says that the reason why the US has gone downhill, becoming in essence an unconstitutional dictatorship, is because "since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared National Emergency," according to Senate Report 93-549. The Siege is really a turf war -- not between gangs -- but between Feds. It's FBI vs. CIA vs. National Security Council vs. America. The civil rights context -- Is martial law justified? Under what circumstances? -- is merely window dressing for the real question -- How will the Feds split up the country? The movie shows that escalating acts of "terrorism" in America are eerily similar to the Reichstag Fire in pre-WWII Germany, a rationale for a totalitarian-state power grab. In America, it would simply be the pretext for dispensing with that pesky US Constitution altogether. Willis finally
[CTRL] Teo: Heads Up: Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- Teo: Bob your comments exactly reflect mine. There is a cronyism that is in effect, one that guarantees that Clinton will not be tried for the REAL crimes he has committed because there are other people involved that would also lose out. Sure people may not like the whole thing (though I am aware of MANY people who are fed up with him and his continuous lieing and want him gone even if it is "all about sex" as some claim) but most of the people are completely oblivious to the real crimes; the chinese encryption transfer, the computer transfer, the satellite deals, the COSCO deal, etc. . . It is my belief that if any of this got out widely then the vote for impeachment would be a done deal. It won'tr of course 'cause Ken Starr and his other buddies are just as dirty and this needs to be kept under the covers. Being in general agreement with this statement, I am interested in your conjecture--apart from cronyism--concerning why there was very little effort to pursue these issues. It would seem that Starr's efforts would have yielded a far better result if these had been the primary focus. And yes, I am aware of the debate over there having been, comparatively, less evidence regarding "all of the above." Edward []===[] "Go for goats, Bill. They don't talk."

[CTRL] Lyndon LaRouche on Al Gore
-Caveat Lector- WHY EXPOSE GORE'S RECORD NOW? by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. Date: December 9, 1998 He is as dumb and poisonous as a Gila Monster, as slimy- tailed and mean-spirited as a 'possum, as greedy as a backwoods loan-shark; he is an Armand Hammer protege, with connections, disloyalties, and morals to match. You know how that good old Tennessee boy can get, when he doesn't get his way! There are some who might suggest, that if some relevant Baptist minister had held young Al Gore, Jr. under for just another three minutes, the baptism might have succeeded in making a Christian of even that "New Age" heathen fanatic. Our bi-polar Vice-President has a record as long as your arm. The question which will be asked of me, is, why did I wait so long to speak publicly of the matter in these terms? In life in general, especially in history-making matters of state, there are some true facts, like your cousin Butch's smelly feet, Mathilda's insufferably bad breath, or Al Gore's ethics, which we avoid mentioning, unless absolutely necessary. But, then, if there comes a time when the survival of nations, even of civilizations, demands it, the unpleasant truths must be told, plainly, in timely fashion, with pungency and force. How will you react, for example, to the curious coincidence, that one of my own and President Clinton's loudest enemies, Conrad Black's Hollinger Corporation, has said pretty much the same thing about Gore, in the Nov. 1, 1998 edition of its flagship publication, {The London Daily Telegraph}? How will you react to learning the additional, hard evidence, which the {Telegraph} did not report, which shows, that Vice-President Al Gore has deep, long-standing, close connections to a wide assortment of some of the most savage among President Bill Clinton's most impassioned, and nastiest, Zionist far-right-wing and other political and personal enemies, the recently retired Newt Gingrich and Conrad Black notably included. Ask yourself: Why would my own and Clinton's perfervid enemies at the London {Telegraph}, ruin their otherwise nearly perfect publishing record, by, for once, telling the insider's truth about anyone, even Gore? The time to speak out, came on the day, in Kuala Lumpur, when Vice-President Gore made an ass of the United States government, before the entire world. Admittedly, with his infantile Bozo-the-Clown act at that recent APEC meeting, he created a scandal which has ruined forever his chances of becoming President of the United States; but, that is only the surface of the crucial national-security problem he created by his behavior. The gut of the Gore issue, is that this is no ordinary strategic crisis. By acting as he has done, repeatedly, in the worsening world crisis which erupted this Autumn, in the midst of the most awesome, global financial and monetary crisis in modern history, Gore's foolish actions, like the treachery of the Confederacy's Jefferson Davis, crossed the bloody line. He went beyond his usual, childish foolishness, and crossed that line, which defines where U.S. national-security ends, and intolerable conduct begins. In the present world crisis, in face of the terrible crisis to hit during the coming eight weeks, U.S. national security demands that very plain words be spoken, without the usual double-talking, boardroom etiquette. The man whom the very-well- informed {Telegraph} reporter aptly described as "President-in- Impatient-Waiting" Gore, has crossed the line. After what he has done, even those who have otherwise tended to be sympathetic to him, or, at least tolerant, at the {Telegraph}, the {New York Times}, and elsewhere, have written Gore off publicly as a man who crossed a line, the type of defective personality which could never be allowed to become President. As a result, President Clinton's ability to deal with the multiple threats, both to his Presidency and to the nation, depends upon his acting now to put his Vice-President under apparent foreign-policy wraps, for the duration of the presently onrushing global financial crisis. I shall, first, sum up the nature of the crisis which prompts me to present this report on what is fairly labelled "The Gore Problem." After that, I shall summarize the broader strategic issues of foreign policy involved. In conclusion, I shall summarize the Gore problem as such. {1. The Breaking World Crisis} During the coming eight weeks or so immediately ahead, most of the world, including the U.S.A., will have been plunged into a deep economic depression, far deeper, far more menacing than what the U.S.A. experienced under President Herbert Hoover. There is no guesswork in that forecast; the present figures, showing that that is what is now about to strike, are easily accessed, and correspond precisely to the warning I first presented, in the form of my now well-known "Triple Curve," in the closing weeks of 1995.

[CTRL] Furby Nightmare Continues
-Caveat Lector- "FURBY NIGHTMARE" CONTINUES --- (CNNS, 12/13/98) -- Much unsettling news has followed the arrival of the "Furby" to our shores. In a CNNS (Conspiracy Nation News Service) press release dated 11/30/98, we noted that MASS HYSTERIA had arrived with the Furby. Horrible fights had broken out in retail outlets, as parents kicked and scratched each other, desperate to own one of LIMITED QUANTITIES of the "lovable furry creature." In her Internet news service and on radio talk shows, "Ru Mills" tried to warn us about LINGUISTIC MANIPULATIONS associated with the Furby. Will the Furby presence, or something like it, eventually dominate our homes? Will Furbies begin to displace parents in the nurturing of our children? Now, syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington has weighed in on the matter. In her latest column, Ms. Huffington alerts her readers that the Furby is manufactured in RED CHINA by SLAVE LABOR. ("Waiting For Furby", 12/10/98) Much unsettling news has followed the arrival of the Furby to our shores. Here is an outline of events, temporally associated with the "lovable furry creature"; taken together they encompass an ONGOING FURBY NIGHTMARE ** Bill Clinton's Farewell Speech. On Dec. 11, 1998, Bill Clinton gave a sudden, abrupt, and strange Rose Garden speech. In a CNNS press release dated 12/11/98, we called that brief Clinton address his "Farewell Speech To America." An Op-Ed piece in the Dec. 13, 1998 New York Times supports our earlier contention that Bill Clinton has indeed said his final good-byes. According to the NYTimes article, Bill Clinton can no longer address America "without the risk of snickers." Meanwhile, on Matt Drudge's television show of Dec. 12, 1998, Mr. Drudge reportedly juxtaposed film footage of former-President Richard Nixon waving his final good-bye, in 1974, with film footage of Bill Clinton also waving good-bye, also as he boarded a helicopter at the White House. [1] Meanwhile, in Israel, severely anti-Clinton posters began appearing, "showing Clinton in a black-and-white traditional Arab headdress with the Hebrew words ``I am a Palestinian'' written above." (Reuters, 12/10/98) Prior to the assassination (or disappearance) of Yitzhak Rabin, severely anti-Rabin posters had begun appearing, unfairly showing Rabin wearing a Nazi uniform. And in Dallas, in 1963, posters of a severe anti-JFK nature were posted throughout the city, shortly before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Time magazine also, according to Sherman Skolnick, had placed an eerie portrait of John Kennedy on its cover, just prior to his being shot dead in Dealey Plaza. ** A Furby Christmas. In order to prop up sales in this crucial holiday shopping season, news of the torrential sweep of the worldwide economic crisis has been downplayed, here in the U.S. -- for now. The Furby has become a multi-faceted symbol; one of its meanings is "LIMITED QUANTITIES/HURRY UP AND SHOP!" But after the retailers have been saved from disaster, then will the dammed-up economic truth be unleashed. We have: ++ COLLAPSING HOG PRICES: Hog prices "stand at their lowest level since the [Great] Depression." The HOG CRISIS is "devastating to thousands of people who have staked their lives on hogs." The National Farmers Union blames the crisis on "corporate hog farms" which have flooded the market with hogs, thereby deflating prices. (New York Times, 12/13/98) Adding to the HOG CRISIS is the dire impoverishment of Third-World and Second-World markets, who can no longer ante up necessary cash to keep on enjoying hogs. ++ OIL GLUT: There is a worldwide "glut" of oil, with consequent DEFLATION in oil prices. In fact, there is "a glut in almost everything -- from commodities like oil to finished goods like computers" (New York Times, 12/13/98). This COMMODITIES GLUT runs contrary to the current, false, yet pervasive Furby psychology of "LIMITED QUANTITIES." ++ DEBT PEONAGE CAMPS: Besides child labor in Third World countries, prison labor in Red China (where Furbies are made), and prison labor even here in the United States, we now are seeing the re-emergence of "company stores" and "company housing" in the U.S. Some agricultural workers are sold food, wine, and drugs in exchange for their labor, and are "always on the minus side" in the account books -- meaning they cannot quit work until and if company ledgers say they can. (New York Times, 12/13/98) All this bad news has arrived in tandem with the "lovable furry creature" from Red China. "By his fruits shall you know him." Maybe it's time we all took another look at Mr. Furby. --- Notes --- [1] Communique from "Rhea Fortean"

And, let us NOT get into a "democracy" - - - we started a Republic (if we could keep it) . . . so, also, may I recommend you join Excite.com Communities When you go to my home page (above) click on Civil Liberties (you will see my Constitutional Republic form of Government site) . . . go to its related links and click on Constitutional Alliance / I will past your post and my reply.

I can't go to web sites, I only have e-mail and my software only connects me to a local server until I can exchange in/out going mail. But I can/will subscribe to the newsletters you cited with @ in them. == If you are on the internet, I can send you gov.txt I can not send large files, so I have to break them down. If you know how to cut and past, you can put it together and make it available to others. = The file covers the set up of the republic, which is rePUBLIC . I don't have the defination in memory but a republic is a government which uses representative to represent the people as a whole. Political parties do not represent the will of the people, they represent the agenda of the political parties. (I won't go into all of that now, it is in the file) = The petition network gives the people the power to recall politicians. At the present time, the party pals can flip the finger at the people and there is nothing we can do about it. Only if, politicians are accountable can there ever be a hint of a republic. There can not be, there is no republic in any nation where politicians have power over the people. = Even though a lot of things you stated is a fact, only a few people know or care. While you have your hot issues, everyone else has their own. Information pollution? Do you have time in your life to read all the information available on the constitution and government outrage? Consider someone you know who reads book after book, reads and writes volumes on the internet What have they changed after 2 years? In 5 minutes any voter (who has not read one page of all that stuff) will do more to make a change at a voting booth than 10,000 students who have read a million pages. Taking such extensive information to the public will only bore them. If you are satisfied with things as they are, then there is no problem, but if you wish to change things you need the voters. It does little good to know all of that stuff if you can do nothing to change it. Forcing politicians to be under the control of the people will not be accomplished by knowing all the information on the internet or by reading ever page of written material. Forcing politicians to be representatives of the people will only be accomplished IF/WHEN the politicians are made accountable to the people. Passed out a petition? Signed a petition? Voted on an issue at the voting booth? Only those who do not engage in these constitutional given rights, need tell me about the evils of democracy. The American movement includes democracy and the right to petition as stated in the constitution and it integrates a republic ... an actual republic in which the "representatives" are not representative of the agendas of political parties nor are they representatives of bribe givers.

Re: [CTRL] Teo: Heads Up: Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- Edward Britton wrote: -Caveat Lector- Teo: Bob your comments exactly reflect mine. There is a cronyism that is in effect, one that guarantees that Clinton will not be tried for the REAL crimes he has committed because there are other people involved that would also lose out. Sure people may not like the whole thing (though I am aware of MANY people who are fed up with him and his continuous lieing and want him gone even if it is "all about sex" as some claim) but most of the people are completely oblivious to the real crimes; the chinese encryption transfer, the computer transfer, the satellite deals, the COSCO deal, etc. . . It is my belief that if any of this got out widely then the vote for impeachment would be a done deal. It won'tr of course 'cause Ken Starr and his other buddies are just as dirty and this needs to be kept under the covers. Being in general agreement with this statement, I am interested in your conjecture--apart from cronyism--concerning why there was very little effort to pursue these issues. It would seem that Starr's efforts would have yielded a far better result if these had been the primary focus. And yes, I am aware of the debate over there having been, comparatively, less evidence regarding "all of the above." Edward High crimes, treason, bribery. Clinton has committed all of these. The problem is that the rest of the more powerful politicians have done the same. They simply CAN'T bring these charges against him because he can bring the same charges against his acusers during questioning in court or in the Senate. Why do you think that the Judiciary Committee decided not to look into Clinton/Gore's campaign finance criminalities? That's the " bribery " issue they need for clear-cut impeachment. But they are all guilty of the same crime. The same goes for " treason," since they also represent corporations who financed them to help do business abroad at all costs. Can't go there either. What you are witnessing is an attempted coup by the right wing. They want to throw Clinton off the apple cart without tipping over the apple cart. Sit back with this in mind and watch how it's done. It's been done before. The Iran/Contra hearings are the blueprint for what happens next. The real crimes will be avoided. The minor issues will be exagerated, and they will get Clinton out or cripple him severely enough to render him useless. UNLESS THINGS GET OUT OF CONTROL IN THE SENATE. This is the best we have to hope for as citizens. That they will hate each other enough to do each other real damage in the eyes of the voters, hopefully ending in some seriously needed reforms.

Re: [CTRL] Lawyers Unconstitutional Control of the Nation
-Caveat Lector- Brilliant reply, Linda! (I had to retrieve this from my files. I save a few of the wiser posts. My problem is that I print anything longer than a page and delete what I have read or printed before going thru the printed stuff. Then I think, gee, I should have replied to that.) Your statement is eloquent, powerful, lucid. More importantly your words of reason go to the central truth not only regarding our super abundance of laws but also concerning the motivation and the process by which a sorry cabal has crippled the nation. Jerry harp = APFN wrote: Lawyers are amoral by definition and necessity, and as such should not be making the rules for the rest of society to live by. snip + Linda Minor replied: "...I happen to be [a lawyer], as are some of my very good friends. I find this statement to be totally asinine. Amoral by whose definition? It's not lawyers per se who are to blame for "making the rules for the rest of society to live by" (as though lawyers are not themselves a part of that society); it's the belief of the public that legislation is the answer to everything. There was a time when a person could learn the law simply by working as an apprentice to a practicing attorney to find out how to research judicial precedents and making a cogent argument before a judge and jury about equity and fairness, coupled with legal consistency. Not so any more. Law no longer consists of well-reasoned opinions based on the study of jurisprudence and justice. Everything is statutory (intricately detailed) or even more detailed in the form of administrative regulations. No lawyer can keep up with all the changes in the law. A person who wants to fight for justice finds himself trapped in a quagmire of meaningless verbiage. The problem is greater than the fact that laws are written and interpreted by men and women trained to speak and write in a particular style. The real problem is the microcosm mentality which overlooks the Big Picture, the historical perspective. That problem is endemic in every facet of American life today. In Texas the State Bar this year increased the mandatory continuing legal education requirement for ethics from one to three hours a year. That means we have to attend seminars analyzing the code of professional ethics, which are silly rules passed to control how lawyers deal with their clients. The reason this seems necessary to the powers that be is that most people don't know the difference between right and wrong; they don't have the vaguest idea about honesty, truth or fairness. So somebody decided to write rules that set up a standard of behavior. The more rules there are, the easier it is to selectively enforce them against enemies of those in power. Without that system of detailed statutory law, this contrived impeachment would not be taking place. The inquiry is not about morality, perjury, obstruction of "justice" or anything else other than raw power politics and gamesmanship. It is selective manipulation of rules of conduct to advance a particular agenda. If this inquiry was really concerned with justice, we'd be hearing about what went on at Mena. But then that would bring up the CIA's role in the crack-cocaine trafficking which was so easily swept under the rug in San Jose. Even with Lawrence Walsh's Iran-Contra report detailing the crimes of the Reagan-Bush cabinet, there was the Big Pardon, and then everyone forgot all about what really happened and who did what. The acts of those men were traitorous, and they were all let off. Those guys weren't lawyers; they were engineers, businessmen, and most of all securities peddlers. The word "attorney" simply means a person who acts on behalf of someone else; an agent. The biggest problem with lawyers is that they believe in the adversary process--that they represent the person who pays them to the best of their ability. Do you seriously think your proposal would keep the vested interests, who don't want their interests divested, from finding someone else to protect them? What's ironic about your entire article is that you're trying to do exactly what you're ranting against--writing insipid legislation that doesn't really address the evil but just further complicates things by putting another meaningless law on the books.

[CTRL] Armand Hammer and Arnold Happer - the real Local Hero
-Caveat Lector- from: Flight 800 discussion list [EMAIL PROTECTED] - MH quotes: familiarize yourself with a man by the name of Armand Hammer I remember the old bastard very well. The only time I ever met him personally was a quarter of a century ago and he never could get my name right. I was actually present when he made his infamous offer to the people of the Orkney Island of Flotta when he suggested that Oxy should donate a piano to the village Hall in compensation for building his Piper/Claymore oil terminal on their little island. A deliciously amusing film was made about the events surrounding that day and I heartily commend that movie to fellow LSofters. Go out and rent a video called "Local Hero" from your local video store. You'll love it. The humour is rather sardonic and often subtle, but some of the funny aspects will amuse even the grimmest of participants in our forum. The makers of "Local Hero" had to change some of the names in order to avoid heavyweight litigation, but many of the names were not changed very much. Armand Hammer became Arnold Happer and was played by Burt Lancaster. The character of "Macintyre" in the film is based on a real life chap whose name sounds very similar. The young Scots multilingual Surveyor's name was phonetically unchanged, but the oceanographer at Wallingford - and his gorgeous daughter - both had their names heavily modified in the film, in reality she really was as gorgeous as in the film, actually more so. In reality she married her tennis coach, not the poor lovesick Surveyor. The Oil Company's name of Oxy was changed by the film into Knox. John Polland's name was unchanged, in fact he actually played himself in the film. Hammer's nutty Californian psychiatrist really was as loony as the character in the film. Many of the local characters in the film are based on real people, though some are an amalgamation of two or more people in more than one or more real situation. The Soviet Captain in the film, for example, who illegally landed to check on his Stock Market investments and bonk his Post-Mistress, was based on an embarrassingly large number of real Russians in exactly the same circumstances in nearly identical locations. It really did happen like that. Go and see the film. It tells more than it says and it says more than it tells ... the truth.

[CTRL] Fwd: [priory-of-sion] Re: Conversations with M.Dagobert 12/12/98
From: Tim Carmain [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, as Derek has claimed the Devi's Advocate role, I guess I'll call myself the "fly in the ointment"... See below: ---Derek Hiemforth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today, December 12, I had a few hours conversation with Roger-Rene' Dagobert de' Groucy. The direct and treu descendant of Dagobert II. [snip] he is a true and recognized descendant of Dagobert Recognized by who? I thought the orthodox historical position was that DagobertII didn't have any heirs. On what grounds should we accept his claim to legitimacy as any more serious than Plantard's? From a genealogical standpoint, I might point out here that the purported descendance of the Counts of Razes from Dagobert II has never been substantiated and was unheard of before HBHG was published (nor is it widely accepted in genealogical circles). We have nothing but faith to go on here, and speaking for myself, I have no faith in M. Plantard's or M. de Groucy's claims. I can say with a degree of certainty (i.e. backed up with known and non-contradictory genealogical sources) that the chart provided to Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln (and rehashed by Gardner) by Henri Lobineau contains one serious flaw. I'm referring to the chart called "The Merovingian Dynasty - The Lost Kings" in HBHG. This wrongly identifies the parents of Eustache I, Count of Boulogne (grandfather of Godfrey of Bouillon) as Hugues de Plantard and Agnes of Jumieges; and further the text indicates that Eustache was the adopted stepson of Ernicule, Count of Boulogne, Agnes's second husband. Every tried-and-true source I've consulted over the years refutes this "Boulogne-ey". Eustache I was the son of Baudouin II of Boulogne and Adele of Holland, and was the actual great-grandson of Ernicule. This is an important point considering that the Plantard claim has their line descending from an older brother of the above-named Hugues, thus pre-empting the purported position of Eustache I and later of Godfrey of Bouillon as the "primogenitus" Merovingian line. If Plantard's co-opted genealogy has since been refuted as fraudulent (and to my satisfaction, it has), then I certainly wouldn't put much stock in the claims of M. de Groucy, who seems to be attempting to graft his descent onto an earlier graft that didn't bear fruit. I also doubt very seriously that Godfrey, in founding the Priory of Sion in 1090 or 1099 or whenever it was, did so thinking that his patrilineal descent qualified him as the Merovingian (and thus Davidic) primogenitus; if it was given any consideration at all, it would have been his matrilineal line (through his mother Saint Ida) that qualified him. Just a hunch on my part, but I believe that this is why the Templar Order was founded in 1118 as an adjunct and visible branch of the PoS - to continue the excavations for evidence of the Boulogne /Bouillon claim after the death without direct heirs of Baudouin I, Godfrey's younger brother. The older brother, Eustache III of Boulogne, didn't get from Europe to Jerusalem in time to be crowned king, according to Runciman. In his place, the knights elected his cousin Baudouin of Edessa, who was not a blood descendant of Saint Ida and thus not the "primogenitus". Eustache's daughter and heiress Mathilda was married to Stephen of Blois, later King Stephen of England, a scion of the House of Champagne; thus the intense interest of that family and it's retainers to continue the excavations under the guise of the Templar order without revealing the true intent and mission of the PoS (i.e., to put a Champagne with Boulogne ancestry on the throne of Jerusalem). Unfortunately, by 1188, the Templars had revealed all to the Anjou descendants of Baudouin II, who claimed the "miraculous" descent for themselves. Hence the cutting of the elm at Gisors - a symbolic, yet meaningful separation of the PoS "legitimists" who maintained the Boulogne claim (which by then had passed to the House of Brabant) from the Templars, who by that time had thrown in their lot with the Anjous. Well, now I'm getting off on a completely different tangent. The point I'm attempting to make is that Plantard, Lobineau, Baigent et al, and now apparently de Groucy would have us believe that Godfrey of Bouillon's Merovingian /Davidic claim came to him through his father's purported descent from Dagobert II. Unfortunately, there is no evidence beyond what was put out by Lobineau to even suggest that Dagobert II had heirs, at least not any that can be substantiated from other sources. While Godfrey's father certainly did have Merovingian ancestors through several lines, so did his mother, Saint Ida - and better ones at that. In order to put Plantard at the forefront as the Merovingian primogenitus, Lobineau must have known that it was Godfrey that he had to supercede, not the Anjous or their descendants. Hence, the fabricated parentage of Eustache I of Boulogne as the offspring

-Caveat Lector- From ArabicNews.CoM Deep differences characterize 1st day of Clinton's visit Palestine, Politics, 12/13/98 Separated by deep differences, US President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu are both in waiting for the outcome of the Monday session of the Palestine National Council in Gaza. Israel wanted the PNC to cancel the national charter that calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. The Palestinians insist the charter was amended back in 1996 and therefore "there is no need to cancel what has already been canceled." President Clinton is to attend the Gaza session and his views of what happens in the course of the session will be crucial in decided the next steps. If President Clinton says the hand raising voting in the PNC was enough and if Netanyahu says he is satisfied with the voting, a three-way summit might take place on Monday night, or Tuesday morning at the latest between Presidents Clinton and Arafat and premier Netanyahu. Clinton arrived in Israel late Saturday night. Israeli president Ezer Weizman greeted him with a warm speech, unlike the one made by Netanyahu who, against all protocols, delivered a long speech and switched between English and Hebrew. According to the protocol, only the two presidents were supposed to speak: Clinton and Weizman. President Clinton stressed the subject of security in his speech, and said that the United States would march in the process along side of Israel. US sources said the Clinton Administration disagrees with Netanyahu when he claims that the Palestinians have not implemented any of the Wye Agreement clauses. Israel, meanwhile, claims it would not be ready to carry out any of the outstanding clauses of Wye Agreement until after the PNA meets a set of Israeli demands, most of which were not included in Wye Agreement. Israel wants a declaration from President Arafat that he would not declare the establishment of an independent Palestinian state by May next year. Israel also wants the PNC to cancel the national charter and PNA to take more steps against opposition groups. The Palestinians want Israel to release political and security prisoners, to carry out the further redeployment of its troops in the West Bank, to expand the pace of the third phase withdrawal which stands at the moment at only one percent of the West Bank territories, to open the safe passages between the West Bank and Gaza and to authorize the opening of work to establish the Gaza seaport. Approximately 15,000 police, soldiers, Israeli general security services, American secret service, PNA police and preventative security are part of the safety arrangements for President Clinton's visit. The unprecedented security caused heavy traffic disruptions in West Jerusalem. Surrounded by hundreds of police and guards, the Hilton hotel is combed daily by sappers and explosive sniffing dogs as snipers took positions on the surrounding buildings. Late last week, Israeli and American security officials carried out a security check of all government offices which look out onto the prime minister's office building, where Clinton and Netanyahu met Sunday. Islamic Jihad leader Abdallah Shami said in Gaza that Clinton has come to the region in order to "concoct conspiracies" against the opposition movement. "Clinton's mission is therefore satanic." Shami said the current wave of demonstrations in the Palestinian territories in solidarity with the political prisoners might not be enough to secure their release. Instead, he called for abducting Israeli soldiers in order to negotiate their release for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. - ___ __ / |/ / /___/ / /_ // M I D - E A S T R E A L I T I E S / /|_/ / /_/_ / /\\ Making Sense of the Middle East /_/ /_/ /___/ /_/ \\http://www.MiddleEast.Org CLINTON IN ISRAEL/PALESTINE A "PEACE PROCESS" BUILT ON POLITICAL QUICKSAND By Mark Bruzonsky* Clinton arrived to blaring trumpets very late Saturday evening. He arrived in Israel, not Palestine, and no one should doubt that basic significance. One of the greatest ironies of this generation is that while the world mobilized to bring the Apartheid of South Africa to an end, at nearly the same historic moment it allowed the U.S and Israel to implement a variant of Apartheid in the Middle East. Another generation of conflict is thus ensured, no matter what the politicians of the moment proclaim. Whatever further symbolism takes place with Clinton's Gaza visit, it is sure to be feverishly played up by the Arafat crowd. But the basic reality that Gaza has been twisted into a ghetto/prison surrounded on three sides by an Israeli-patrolled electrified fence, on the fourth by the Israeli-guarded sea, and
[CTRL] Pinochet: 12-13
-Caveat Lector- From Irish Times: WORLDSaturday, December 12, 1998Picture Pinochet remanded, refuses to recognise court Lawyers now turn their attention to the challenge to the Law Lords' ruling next week, writes Frank Millar, London Editor PicturePinochet: An angry and defiant General Augusto Pinochet told Bow Street Magistrates yesterday he did not recognise the jurisdiction of their court in considering the Spanish application for his extradition to face charges of "diabolical crimes" against humanity. The former Chilean dictator was making his first public appearance since his arrest in October; since the historic ruling by the Law Lords that he did not enjoy sovereign immunity as a former head of state; and since Wednesday's determination by the Home Secretary, Mr Jack Straw, that the Spanish extradition request should proceed before the British courts. Dapper in brown pin-stripe suit, off-white shirt and gold tie, his hand resting on a walking stick, the 83-year-old general looked resolutely glum during proceedings in the high-security court complex at Belmarsh, normally host to Britain's most dangerous criminal and terrorist suspects. Watched by diplomatic and political supporters from the public gallery, including the head of Chile's Institute for Military Studies, Gen Pinochet spoke only twice during the hearing lasting just under 30 minutes. After his arrival in the court in a wheelchair, Gen Pinochet was asked by the clerk to state his name. Speaking in Spanish, his words translated, he replied: "I am Augusto Pinochet Ugarte. I was commander-in-chief of the army, the Captain General of Chile, and actually I am at the moment a senator of the Republic." He then sat stern and motionless as the court determined how the case should proceed, varying the terms of his bail only to permit him use of the garden in his temporary home on the luxury Wentworth estate in Surrey - but with even that privilege subject to the decision of the senior police officer on duty, and liable to be withheld on grounds of security. Having heard the case adjourned until January 18th, and been told that he need not appear on that occasion, Mr Clive Nicholls QC said that, as this was his first appearance since his arrest, his client was anxious to make a statement. Gen Pinochet told Mr Graham Parkinson, the Chief Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate: "With respect to your honour, I do not recognise the jurisdiction of any other court, except in my country, to try me against all the lies of Spain." But for all the defiant language, there was no suggestion that Gen Pinochet - Britain's friend during the Falklands War - was about to emulate Irish republicans by dismissing counsel and surrendering his fate to the bench. On the contrary, the decision that the general need not appear before the magistrates on January 18th reflected the uncertainties arising from the unprecedented challenge his lawyers will mount in the House of Lords next week in an attempt to overturn the original decision of the Law Lords on a split 3/2 decision. A committee of three Law Lords will sit on Tuesday and Wednesday to hear representations that the decision on immunity should be overturned because one of the three-man majority, Lord Hoffmann, has links with Amnesty International. Amnesty says the decision shows desperation on the part of Gen Pinochet's lawyers, and that the involvement of Lord and Lady Hoffmann with the organisation had not extended to any part of its campaign against the former dictator. Yesterday's hearing was told that, if the lawyers succeeded in having the original ruling set aside, January 12th would be the earliest date on which the Law Lords could sit to reconsider the case. In consequence, the parties would be unlikely to agree a date for the full extradition committal hearing, and it might be possible to set a date only for a directions hearing, which the general need not attend. Mr Nicholls told the court he and his colleagues were also still considering whether to seek leave for judicial review of the Home Secretary's decision to grant the "authority to proceed". Labour MPs cheered Mr Straw when he appeared in the Commons on Wednesday night following his decision. But in an increasingly polarised debate, the government was criticised for reaching "an accommodation of convenience with Gerry Adams" while denying Chile the right to do the same with Gen Pinochet. In his ruling Mr Straw noted that, while the Chilean government had urged the general's return home for trial, he had no extradition request from Chile to consider.

[CTRL] Fwd: [MC] Vanished sect leaves questions
MK-Miller story starts to mimic Jim Jones.. Wish some members would come foward to clear up any possible fabrications in news reports. From: http://insidedenver.com:80/news/1213cult0.shtml - Vanished sect leaves only questions Whereabouts unknown of 78 Concerned Christians; some fear suicide is ahead By Charlie Brennan News Staff Writer More than two months after the vanishing act, the mystery has only deepened. Seventy-eight members of Concerned Christians, a Denver-based sect that disappeared this fall, continue to keep their whereabouts secret from family and friends. White and black, married and single, white-collar professionals and unemployed laborers, they range in age from infancy to 68. What they have in common is a shared belief in the teachings of Monte Kim Miller. Miller is the 44-year-old former Denver resident who has said he's one of the final two witnesses prophesied in the Bible in Chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation. He claims he is destined to die in the streets of Jerusalem in the final days of December1999. The silence from his followers is deafening and frightening to their abandoned friends and family. "Once they go into the area of isolation and break off communication, that increases his power," said John Weaver, the former husband of cult member Jan Cooper. "That becomes a scary time." His concern is echoed by Hal Mansfield, director of the Religious Movement Resource Center in Fort Collins. "Moving an entire group out of the country, that's some serious stuff," Mansfield said. "He is practicing behavior modification and mind control." There are occasional phone and e-mail messages from missing Concerned Christians to those left behind. They offer some comfort. But they're countered by the 1997 affidavit of 16-year-old Nicolette Weaver, filed in a Boulder District Court proceeding awarding her father, John Weaver, sole custody of her. She had grown fearful about what she heard from Miller and from her mother and stepfather, Jan and John Cooper. Nicolette Weaver's affidavit, written when she was 14, included these statements: "My mother told me in August '96 that we have only 40 months left on Earth." "My mother told me that if Kim Miller told her to kill me, she would." "Kim Miller said that America was the Great Satan." "Kim Miller told me that the Lord speaks through him." "Kim Miller intimidated me by saying if I told my father anything about Miller's ministry, I would go to hell." "My mother calls Kim Miller 'Lord' or 'God."' "My mother said I had to do only enough school work to satisfy Colorado state laws, but no more was needed because I would not be on Earth long enough to have a job." Another adolescent child was told by her father, a Concerned Christians member, that the end of the world is near, and that it will resemble the movie Independence Day -- but instead of aliens, fire will shoot down from the sky. "There's reason for concern in any kind of group in which someone is prophesying the end of the world," said James Van Beek, an Eagle County sheriff's detective whose brother-in-law and seven other relatives are in the group. "I'm trying not to judge them one way or the other," said Van Beek. "But it concerns me that they're involved with someone where there is the potential for this to happen." Mansfield is making no assumptions as to what could happen next. "It could go either way, anywhere from the group falling apart and going away quietly, to the other extreme -- a Jonestown scene, or anything and everything in between," Mansfield said. Jonestown stands as the worst-case example of a cult holocaust. On Nov. 18, 1978, more than 900 members of the Peoples Temple Commune, including leader Jim Jones, died in a mass murder-suicide. (*interruption: mass-murder.) That group originated in San Francisco and left the country, meeting its fate in the jungle near Georgetown, Guyana. Mansfield dismisses Miller's theology as the nonsensical rantings of a con artist -- and certainly, money is part of the story. Miller filed for bankruptcy in October 1997, showing $142,628 in assets but $748,852 in debts. Those debts ranged from the $102,044 he owed the Internal Revenue Service, to $15,000 he borrowed from Concerned Christian member Gary Schmidt, to $314 for treatment from the Telluride Medical Center. There will be about $70,000 to be doled out by a trustee, after subtracting certain exemptions Miller is permitted against his assets, in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding. If the creditors aren't satisfied by that, and they want to talk to Miller about it, first they have to find him. Guesses as to the wherabouts of Miller and his followers range from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula to Toronto to Libya. Van Beek said his wife's brother and the brother's wife, James and Melanie Dyck of Eagle, have disappeared along with their 7-month-old son, plus Melanie Dyck's mother and stepfather, Vonnett and Terry Smith of Eagle; Melanie Dyck's two

(for importance of cain, see part one) In whose language? Cain is a figure from Biblical/Hebrew mythology, and thus one would expect any etymology associated with the name to have a meaning in Hebrew, the language in which his story is told. However, the Hebrew for 'kingship' is 'malkhuth', which doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to the name of Cain. I presume there is some piece of linguistic nonsense behind this, roughly along the lines of those presented by van Buren in her RlC related works. In Hebrew, the word 'Cain' (qoph-yod-nun) means spear or dagger, pronounced 'ka-yin'. one was deemed eligible to become king when he reached the state of 'malku,' enlightened consciousness. this root was the origin of the Hebrew words 'malchus' (king) and 'malkhut' (kingdom) The hebrew for 'King' is 'melek', not 'malchus'; in fact, the form 'malchus' is impossible as a derivation from the triliteral MLK which underlies words associated with kingship, since it imports, from nowhere, an extra consonant which isn't associated with any Hebrew verb-form. Verb-forms by and large depend on changes of vowel, and any which add consonants add the prefixes (not suffixes) me'- 'he'- or hit'-. There's no way a word with a suffixed 's' could be genuinely derived from a Hebrew verb-root. And there's no trace of a Hebrew word derived from this root which has anything to do with 'enlightened consciousness'.

However, his main purpose in life was the defence of his homeland against the Muslim Turks, which he pursued with ruthless effectiveness in his capacity as Catholic prince. He was one of those who prevented the further incursion of the Ottoman Empire into Eastern Europe. What he's supposed to have to do with Egypt is beyond me; likewise, Gardner seems to be completely unaware of the difference between Vlad himself and the fictional 'Dracula', who based only remotely, if at all, upon Vlad Tepes. Check out Elizabeth Miller's Dracula pages (go on, look it up; I don't have the URL to hand) if you don't believe me; she demonstrates beyond all doubt that Bram Stoker knew almost nothing about the real Vlad Tepes and based very little of the character of his 'prince of darkness' upon the real Vlad. How appalling to discover that someone who's such a major influence on modern-day Grail-seekers is so completely unable to tell the difference between fact and fiction - or even between fiction, and popular/cinematic interpretations of said fiction! speaks of the 'old language' of southern europe.

To say that Abraham left a 'Sumerian' city is to betray one's historical ignorance. Also, Sumeria was a collection of relatively independent city-states; it wasn't an empire. Not until the establishment of Mittanni, and then the Assrian empire, did the concept of a kingdom with an all-powerful king appear in the area. What does he mean by 'the decline of civilisation'?

[CTRL] CIA PILOT ROBERT TOSH PLUMLEE
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.geocities.com/~bobkatmusic/toshconfess.htm EXCERPTS FROM THE CONFESSION OF CIA PILOT ROBERT "TOSH" PLUMLEE Former CIA pilot Robert "Tosh" Plumlee speaks out for the first time about his participation in the JFK assassination. Mr. Plumlee's testimony to the United States Senate Intelligence Committee has been classified as "Top Secret."

Anyone who violates this copyright notice may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and jail. All copyright infringements shall be reported to the FBI. Q: Tosh, how do you make your living, what kind of occupation are you in? A: I'm a pilot, commercial pilot. Q: When did you first become a pilot? A: I started in 1956. I was an aircraft mechanic prior to going in and getting my license. Q: And, you've been flying for a living ever since? A: Off and on and also doing other jobs in those lean, lean years so to speak. Q: In your times as a pilot, have you ever been associated with or worked with the CIA? A: Yes I have. Q: What was the first time? A: The first time was 1956 and the first time I became involved, connected with the CIA, through out of military intelligence, was the M-267 and that was a gun running supply operation to supply guns and ammunition to the students at the University of Havana inside Cuba. This was pro-Castro days. This was before Castro came into power. And, that was the beginning. Q: Have you worked with the CIA since that time? A: Yes, I've worked with the CIA. Q: On just another occasion or many occasions? A: On many occasions. Q: Over a period of how many years? A: Off and on, over a period of 30 years. Q: Have you ever met, in your lifetime, a person named John Roselli? A: Yes, I knew John Roselli rather well. Q: When did you first meet him? A: I met Roselli in about 1960, last part of '60, first part of '61. And, this was at Biscayne Park, we'd just came from a meeting place called Sloppy Joe's on Flagler Street in Miami. And, Johnny, John Farentello was there, the person that introduced me to John Roselli. Q: Have you ever had an occasion to fly in an airplane or to fly John Roselli? A: I've flown John Roselli, I would say, perhaps more than 6 or 7 different occasions. These were to islands, well not islands, but to the Marathon Key in Florida, Bimini, once to Havana, one other time from Houston to Galvezton to see about getting a raider ship which was going to O'Rourke's operation, and another time from Salt Lake City to Thunderbird Inn in Las Vegas, and then from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara, California. And, that particular transition of flights was 1963. Q: On those occasions, did you get to know John Roselli personally? A: Yes, I knew John Roselli personally. Q: Where were you on November 22, 1963? A: I was observing the attempt on Kennedy's life. I was at Dealey Plaza on the South Knoll. Q: Did you have occasion on that day to see John Roselli? A: Yes, I did. I saw John Roselli. John Roselli was on board the flight coming out of Houston. We had taken a flight out of Tampa, Florida and went through New Orleans, New Orleans to Houston and Roselli had boarded the flight at Tampa, Florida, and he was staying at the Congress Inn the night before he boarded the flight. Our team flew out of West Palm Beach, a place called Lantana, and to Tampa and then Roselli and a couple of other people got on board in Tampa. We flew to New Orleans where two people got off, three other people got on, Roselli stayed on board. We flew to Houston and then the next morning, we had some weather, and we left for Dallas, and we had to...we were heading for Thunderbird, I mean for Redbird Airport, and we had to make a stop a Dallas/Garland because of weather. We did not have an IFR flight plan filed at that point. We did not want to file a flight plan. The impression I was under at that time is we were flying a team into Dallas to abort the assassination and John Roselli was on board that flight as well as a couple of other Cubans and people that were connected with organized crime in New Orleans. Q: On the morning of November 22, 1963, did the flight that arrived in Garland, Texas, just outside of Dallas, have anything to do with the CIA? A: The CIA wasyes it did, the CIA was our support people. We were military intelligence. The CIA was running support and coordinating certain flights, making different arrangements, or necessary arrangements, for us. Q: Who got off of the airplane at Redbird? A: Everybody else got off at Redbird. John Roselli got off at Redbird and everybody went their own way. Where they went, I have no idea, at that point and time

Re: [CTRL] Teo: Heads Up: Bill Clinton Is Finished
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 12/13/98 1:54:26 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Being in general agreement with this statement, I am interested in your conjecture--apart from cronyism--concerning why there was very little effort to pursue these issues. It would seem that Starr's efforts would have yielded a far better result if these had been the primary focus. And yes, I am aware of the debate over there having been, comparatively, less evidence regarding "all of the above." Edward It seems to me that it would all come down to political control programs in general. I believe that there is NO difference between the parties and that they all occupy positions of power for a purpose. They may be duly elected but they are eventually turned to the control of the elites, or "controllers" if you prefer. They do what they are told to do, democrat or republican, makes no difference. Starr was hired to dig into weighty matters that could lead to many nasty surmises (Whitewater and etc. . .). Most of this stuff goes back to when Clinton was Governor of Ark., and the Mena airport business, but would even go back further since it is my contention that he was recruited for the CIA and was handpicked by the people of the Skull and Bones society (under the leadership of George Bush, intel asset for many years) to run for and win the Presidency. Whikle he was Governor "making a name for himself" he allowed the use of Mena for drug smuggling and made a lot of money for himself. It seems to me that Whitewater would have been an ideal vehicle to handle all of the excess money. Bush and Clinton are in cahoots together. Starr has connections to right wing political supporters, who are friends with Bush. Now it seems to me that Starr was confronted with a no win situation since any fair examination of the REAL and substantive issues here would always lead back to Bush or other powerful people that he was "in" with, he had no choice but to go after "personal" crimes that could not lead off into tangents that might implicate other people. Thus we have the case we have today. I've expounded before on my theories regarding Clinton. In brief I think he was chosen as Bush's successor to carry the flag for a European Union led NWO. He talked a good game but when he got in office he started to woo the Chinese, which is what got Nixon into trouble (Bush was behind the scenes then too), in an effort to undermine the NWO ad possibly form an alliance to counter the EU led NWO. Bush is betrayed, as are all the "movers and shakers" therefore they are determined to get him out of office. Many scandals are raised and people killed (though some of the deaths are probably more directly the fault of Clinton than others trying to scare him) but they have little success. They try the Whitewater thing which looks promising but ultimately would point an accusing finger at other more important people so must be dropped, then a little luck comes there way (though it is not really luck since they probably KNEW of his sexual proclivities and were waiting for the opportunity to arrive) with the Paula Jones case and the Lewinsky business which he was forced into lieing (something he is good at anyway and which is a major part of his inherent nature), which then serves as the perfect vehicle to "getting him" while conveniently ignoring all of the other troubling things that could be a problem for other important people (China money, secret trade deals, transfer of tech., etc. . .). A point in favor of this is the recent "leak" from the WHITE HOUSE that the CIA was to blame for tech. transfer to China, precipitating any look at the WH and Clinton, just when such questions were actually beinjg asked for the first time in the mainstream. Guess what, they aren't really talked about much now are they? Sorry for the length. Teo1000 DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] The Siege: PsyOps Movie Prepares U.S. for Martial Law
-Caveat Lector- Yet it didn't do so well. As a matter of fact the movie wasn't seen by as many folks as other movies that opened and ran during the same time. Oh well. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V2.42/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 2 Issue 42/A The Laissez Faire City Times December 14, 1998 - Volume 2, Issue 42 Editor Chief: Emile Zola - The Siege: PsyOps Movie Prepares U.S. for Martial Law by Uri Dowbenko The Siege is a slick commercial for the American Police State. Starting with actual newsclips intermixed with movie footage, a radical fundamentalist Muslim cleric is taken hostage. President Clinton -- out of context -- says "I am outraged by it," a speech he made after the Oklahoma City Bombing. Then he says, "Those who did it must not be allowed to go unpunished." That was the stump speech for his so-called Anti-Terrorism Bill, which didn't have a chance of passing before the Bombing. The mix of "real" newsclips intercut with movie footage -- a muezzin's calls to prayer and subsequent scenes of slaughter in the desert -- makes an unsubtle direct correlation between Muslims and terrorism. Cut to Manhattan. FBI man Anthony Hubbard (Denzel Washington) has to deal with a hostage crisis and a bus bomb which turns out to be a ruse. His partner is Lebanese, an Arab-American named Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub) who is gung-ho and acts as a translator -- until they grab his kid and put him in the New York Concentration Camp. Understandably that sours him on the FBI. Soon enough there's interagency rivalry with CIA woman Elise Kraft (Annette Bening). She tells the FBI man that "we're on the same team," but they both know it's a lie. He tells her "CIA has no charter to operate domestically." Yuck yuck -- as if that ever kept the CIA from engaging in criminal activities on US soil. The subtext of the movie, grounded in real-life history, is that CIA financed and trained indigenous "rebel" movements around the world, then unceremoniously betrayed them when US policy changed. The betrayed CIA "terrorists" then typically returned to US soil becoming pawns in elaborate spy agency games, which most recently resulted in the New York World Trade Center Bombing and the Oklahoma City Bombing. Later, in a flash of realization about her own culpability, the CIA woman says to Samir (Sami Bouajila), one of the suspected "terrorists": "Don't tell me we financed your operation?" He smiles disbelievingly at her naivete. Disinformation rules in The Siege. Here are the most obvious propaganda factoids. 1. Demonizing the Militia. Continuing the mainstream-media propaganda, Denzel Washington asks his fellow feds in the FBI office, "You think it's militia?" "Not their style," they answer, as if most militas were capable of "terrorism" without the active participation by undercover CIA, FBI, or BATF agent provocateurs. 2. Demonizing the Internet. "Everybody on the Internet knows explosives," says Washington, spreading the lie about how the Internet is a tool of subversion and therefore must be controlled. Department of Justice has lobbied long and hard for anti-internet, anti-cryptography legislation. 3. Demonizing Cash. "Where does a guy like you come up with ten thousand dollars?" the FBI man berates the Arab suspect, implying that cash anywhere is immediately suspect. According to US State Propaganda, only "terrorists" or "money launderers" use cash. This reinforces the suspicion in moviegoers' minds that only "criminals" would have any concerns about privacy. General Devereaux (Bruce Willis) takes over when a state of emergency and martial law is declared in Manhattan. There's a couple of throwaway lines -- complete with requisite handwringing -- about Posse Comitatus -- the law which mandates that US troops can not be used against US citizens -- and how President Lincoln suspended habeus corpus, an unchallenged precedent for martial law. Willis says "We can't go in until the president invokes the War Powers Act." Does that mean the country is still operating under war and emergency powers? Dr. Eugene Schroeder's controversial book Constitution: Fact or Fiction (Buffalo Creek Press, PO BOx 2424, Cleburne, Texas 76033) explains this provocative thesis. He says that the reason why the US has gone downhill, becoming in essence an unconstitutional dictatorship, is because "since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared National Emergency," according to Senate Report 93-549. The Siege is really a turf war -- not between gangs -- but between Feds. It's FBI vs. CIA vs. National Security Council vs. America. The civil rights context -- Is martial law justified? Under what circumstances? -- is merely window dressing for the real question -- How will the Feds split up the country? The movie shows

In apparent response to millennial madness, the average length of an act of heterosexual intercourse in Americawhich is currently only four minuteswill jump to 18 minutes by the end of 1999. A Constitutional Convention in 2001 will produce a New Bill of Rights. Among its amendments: All Americans must be rewarded financially in direct proportion to how much beauty they create. There'll be a spin-off from the karaoke concept: nightclubs where groups of soap opera fans can re enact their favorite episodes. To demonstrate their lasting commitment to serving the needs of the American consumer, some corporations will buy mountains and carve their trademarks and logos into the rockmuch like Mt.

Describing heterosexuals, gays, and bisexuals as narrow-minded, pantheosexuals will claim to have erotic feelings for everything from trees to toasters to clouds to all seven genders of human beings. The government will begin paying subsidies to some lawyers so they won't practice lawmuch as it now pays supermarket chains to keep cheese off the market when there is too much and the excess would bring prices down. Claiming it objectifies men, the men's movement will decry the romance novel as women's version of pornography.
