[CTRL] Fwd: Weekly Analysis -- April 12, 1999
__ Stratfor's FREE Kosovo Crisis Center - http://www.stratfor.com/kosovo/crisis/ The most comprehensive coverage of the Kosovo Crisis anywhere on the Internet __ STRATFOR's Global Intelligence Update April 12, 1999 Weekly Analysis: Asia in the Global System Summary: There were more important things going on than Kosovo last week. The U.S.-Chinese summit turns our attention to core global issues, such as the relationship between the United States on one hand and the two great Eurasian powers, Russia and China, on the other hand. The prognosis is not good. Analysis: As the war in Kosovo lurches on, there remain broader and more lasting issues to consider than the mysteries of NATO policy making. More important matters were being dealt with in Washington as President Clinton met with Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji. Beyond the question of U.S.-Chinese relations, the entire issue of Asia's status in the world system was on the table. To be sure, there was a fundamental connection between the events in Kosovo and the summit in Washington. The fate of Kosovo province is, from a broad perspective, quite unimportant. What is most significant about Kosovo is that it is the occasion of the first, sharp disagreement between the United States and Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union. As U.S.-Russian relations deteriorate, U.S.-Chinese relations necessarily improve. Russia and China are in the process of entering into what they call a "strategic alliance" whose primary purpose, in our opinion, is to limit the power of the United States globally, and particularly in Eurasia. Indeed, depending on how far this relationship goes, we could be seeing the reemergence of the Eurasian pact that seemed to be in place from 1948 until about 1962. We have spent a great deal of time recently discussing the evolution of events in Russia, but relatively little discussing Asia. Zhu's visit is an opportunity to consider the other part of the Eurasian geopolitical equation and, more importantly, the role of Asia. 1998 was very much the year of Asia and economics. It was as if the entire globe was obsessed with one issue: how bad will the Asian meltdown be and how badly will it affect the rest of the world? In a sense, the obsession has died down because we have the answer. The Asian meltdown is extremely serious, but it is more serious for some countries than others. From a global perspective, it has been a depressant, but not a terrible depressant. Neither Europe nor the United States has been dragged into recession by the decline in Asia and it appears that if recession is in the cards for either, the causes will be cyclical and internal, rather than of Asian origin. In other words, Asia turned out to be much more important to Asia than to the global economy. No doubt many sectors in the United States and Europe were badly hurt by the Asian depression, but there is no escaping the fact that, taken as a whole, the broad claims of global interdependence did not bear up to empirical or historical scrutiny. This logically reduces the importance of Asia to the world, at least on the economic level. We have seen Asia collapse in extreme and unexpected ways, and the consequences to the rest of the world were simply not that important, when taken as a whole. With that information integrated into the global knowledge base, it was inevitable that Asia, understood in primarily economic terms, would be relegated to a secondary role. Whether Asia recovers and to what extent, is an important issue, but not an earth shaking one. The earth will do quite well under any circumstances. Now, there is no question but that Asia has bottomed out for the short-term. What is less clear is whether the bottoming is merely the beginning of a cyclical upturn in a general downtrend or whether it represents a historical bottom from which new heights will be reached. In our view it is likely the former rather than the latter. Japan, far more than China, remains the engine driving the Asian economy. Japan has not made serious strides to solve its problems. Indeed, it has been moving in the opposite direction by reducing Bank of Japan rates to absurdly low levels in a desperate attempt to stabilize the banking system. As a consequence of this strategy, Japan deals with a short-term problem at the expense of exacerbating the long-term problem. Japan's fundamental problem remains extraordinary economic inefficiency as reflected in unsupportable rates of return on capital. The inefficiency of Japan's economy means both that its ability to generate investment capital internally is severely limited and that its ability to utilize what investment capital it has available is similarly limited. As a result, Japan is like a bird that just can't get off the ground. Japan is now in a historical bind, which means that it will continue to fall behind. It is in a downward
[CTRL] NATO Ministers Meet
-Caveat Lector- "NATO drew up a plan for landing ground troops in Kosovo as far back as last summer ... " NATO Foreign Ministers Gather By JEFFREY ULBRICH .c The Associated Press BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- With no end to the air war against Yugoslavia in sight, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and fellow NATO foreign ministers gathered at alliance headquarters today for a brief show of unity. The 19 NATO foreign ministers want to use the meeting, called by Albright last week, to show Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic that the alliance is holding together despite his tough resistance to the bombing campaign, now in its 19th day. Arriving in Brussels on Sunday, Albright said the Serbian onslaught against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo means fewer Serb troops will be permitted to remain in the province than previously proposed. In another policy shift bound to anger Milosevic, Albright did not rule out partitioning Kosovo as part of a settlement, provided there are ways to protect Orthodox Christian holy sites. ``Lots of parts of Rambouillet have been overtaken by events,'' Albright said of the accord, negotiated outside Paris, that was rejected by the Serbs and accepted by the Kosovo Albanians last month. Albright said ``there has to be recognition'' of the Serb offensive that has forced the expulsion of more than one-third of the ethnic Albanians in what the United States has denounced as a ``scorched-earth'' campaign. More than 100 fresh aircraft were en route to the war zone to step up the air operations against Yugoslav army and police forces who have been waging a systematic campaign to empty Kosovo of its ethnic Albanian inhabitants. Military and political leaders insist the airstrikes have been effective in damaging the Yugoslav military's support network, and in recent days, hitting ground forces in Kosovo. Military briefers say Serb activity in Kosovo has slowed and that most Yugoslav forces are now dispersing and defending against the allied air attacks. Senior NATO diplomats say the four-hour foreign ministers' meeting will stress the need for a political solution for the province and its 2 million inhabitants, 90 percent of whom are ethnic Albanians. Albright was also expected to meet later today with rebel Kosovo Liberation Army representative Jakup Krasniqi. What kind of political agreement is now possible in Kosovo is a much more difficult question than it was just three weeks ago. Originally, the basis for any settlement was the agreement worked out at Rambouillet in February and March. That agreement called for a wide autonomy for the province within Serbia. Now, as one NATO ambassador put it, the Rambouillet framework is looking less realistic, but so far no viable alternatives have emerged. The introduction of ground forces in Kosovo is a subject that will not go away. Officially, NATO says ground troops will only enter the province in a ``permissive environment,'' either as part of the originally planned NATO implementation force or some sort of force to escort refugees back. NATO considered plans for a land invasion of Kosovo as far back as last summer, one among a large number of options studied at the time. That plan was put on the shelf and so far, senior diplomats say, no one has proposed reviving it. Nonetheless, much of the military analysis for a ground intervention has been done. Initiating one, however, would take considerable time. In what one top NATO diplomat described as ``an interesting role reversal,'' some members of Congress have been calling for ground forces and several other allies seem ready to go that way. For the moment, however, both political and military officials say the air campaign has a lot of time left before it will have run its course. Another problem faced by the ministers is the harmful effect the bombing is having on relations with Russia. Moscow has severed relations with NATO and most of the activities of the NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council, created two years ago in Paris, have been put on hold.

[CTRL] After-the-War Scenarios
-Caveat Lector- "The Serbs and elements of the Kosovo Liberation Army are likely to CONTINUE fighting and seek to rearm for future war -- the Yugoslavs with the aid of Russian nationalists and the KLA with possible help from Muslims in Iran ... "30,000 NATO peacekeepers have been stationed in Bosnia for FOUR YEARS now -- and still no end to their mission is in sight." Post-War Kosovo Scenarios Eyed By LAURA MYERS .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- When NATO bombs and missiles stop striking Serb military targets across Yugoslavia, what might the political map of the Serbian province of Kosovo look like? And who will be living there? Foreign policy analysts suggest four leading scenarios for the province's future once the conflict between the military alliance and Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's forces ends: A NATO-led force accompanies ethnic Albanians back into Kosovo after Serb army and police forces pull out of the province. This is the most optimistic picture and tracks the Clinton administration's goals. The Albanian Kosovars, a majority of the province's population, would live in peace but in a devastated land that would need international help to be rebuilt. Living under NATO or U.N. protection for at least several years, the Kosovars may or may not gain the autonomy NATO is pushing for -- or the independence for which they have been fighting. Milosevic's forces hunker down and absorb the NATO pounding while mopping up their ethnic cleansing campaign, which could slow or even stop. Serbs have swept about half the 2 million people out of Kosovo since February 1998 -- the majority since NATO airstrikes began March 24. NATO could declare it has achieved its military goal of degrading Serb forces until they no longer threaten Kosovars in the province, which once was 10 percent Serbian. Refugees in neighboring nations or European camps might never return. Milosevic negotiates a peace deal -- perhaps with the help of a friendly nation such as Russia -- to withdraw Serb forces from all or part of Kosovo and allow refugees to return under international protection. This could result in a real or de facto partition along ethnic lines or demilitarized zones. Speaking to reporters Sunday, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright did not rule out a partition of Kosovo, so long as there are ways to protect Orthodox Christian sites. But Defense Secretary William Cohen and White House chief of staff John Podesta, in separate television interviews, dismissed any idea of partition. NATO airstrikes, alone or with ground troops, drive Serb forces from Kosovo. President Clinton has repeatedly ruled out ground troops for such an operation, although a growing number of members of Congress want him to consider it. Ethnic Albanians could return, enjoying de facto or real independence with a demilitarized no-man's land between Serbia and Kosovo guarded by international peacekeepers. But war is messy and politics unpredictable, and almost anything can happen -- from the war spreading to neighboring Macedonia and Albania and beyond, to the Western-leaning Montenegro government splitting from Yugoslavia, leaving Serbia alone in the onetime six-nation federation that mostly dissolved in earlier this decade. ``This is a long, drawn-out chess game. We may know two or three moves in advance, but not much beyond that,'' said Janusz Bugajski, director of East European studies at the private Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Anthony Cordesman, also at the center, said none of the possible outcomes is ``particularly attractive'' because the United States and NATO would be left more deeply entangled in the Balkans than ever, and for years to come. For four years, 30,000 NATO peacekeepers have been stationed in Bosnia and no end is in sight for their mission. Proposed for Kosovo is a 28,000-member NATO-led force, including 4,000 Americans. The Serbs and the most radical elements of the Kosovo Liberation Army also will likely continue fighting in pockets of Kosovo or Yugoslavia and seek to rearm for future war -- the Yugoslavs with the aid of Russian nationalists and the KLA with possible help from Muslims in Iran, Cordesman said. Bosnia and Macedonia -- both former Yugoslav states -- could be further destabilized as the possibility of Kosovo independence remains ``a time bomb,'' he said. Ivo Daalder, a former White House official who worked on Bosnia matters, views the most likely outcome under current conditions as partition of Kosovo populated by returned ethnic Albanians, allowing both NATO and Milosevic to declare a measure of victory. NATO would not accept Serb control of a Kosovo emptied of most of its ethnic Albanians because it would be too great a blow to the 19-nation alliance on its 50th anniversary and in its first offensive military campaign, said Daalder, now affiliated with the Brookings Institution.

[CTRL] Former CIA Director Under Investigation
-Caveat Lector- Justice, CIA Probe Ex-Chief Deutch .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- CIA technicians found 31 secret files in the unsecured personal computer at the home of the former Director John Deutch shortly after he stepped down as the nation's top spy, it was reported Sunday. The Central Intelligence Agency turned the case over to the Justice Department, which investigated for a year before deciding not to file charges, Newsweek magazine said. The Justice Department returned the case to the CIA, which Newsweek said was preparing a critical report and considering revocation of Deutch's security clearances. Agency spokesman Bill Harlow said he was familiar with the Newsweek story but could not comment. The newsmagazine said Deutch would not comment, and a call to his Massachusetts home was not returned immediately Sunday. Quoting Justice Department sources, the magazine said Deutch's mishandling of classified material came to light shortly after he resigned in December 1996. He was to continue as a consultant. Agency technicians went to his home for a routine check to ensure CIA procedures were being followed to protect secrets, Newsweek said in its issue appearing on newsstands Monday. They found 31 classified national security documents on his personal computer, even though he had a secure agency computer at home, the report said. During the Justice Department investigation, Deutch was reappointed to a federal panel that studies how to combat proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and was given top security clearances, Newsweek said.

Re: [CTRL] Opening the Tomb of Jesus
-Caveat Lector- The Church of the Holy Sepulcre was built more than 300 years after the death of Jesus. The spot was picked at random. No one knows where Jesus was buried. This story is religious wishful thinking. Joshua2 Kris Millegan wrote: -Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.sightings.com/ufo2/jesus.htm"SIGHTINGS/A - SIGHTINGS Opening the Tomb of Jesus By David Yount © 1999 Scripps Howard News Service 2-16-99 The opening of Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem may be imminent, and if Christendom is not enthralled by the prospect, it is little wonder. The whole point of the Christian faith is that the tomb is empty. As the angel announced, "He is not here; he has risen." Still, there is expectancy that the tomb will reveal artwork or other signs of veneration by the earliest believers in Christ's resurrection. No one has laid eyes on the tomb for nearly two centuries, and the dawn of the third Christian millennium seems to be a fitting time to rediscover the site. The tomb is believed to rest within an edicule (or "little house") within Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The surrounding shrine is an ornate 19th century construction in danger of collapse. It was damaged by fire in 1808 and further weakened by an earthquake in 1927, after which a makeshift framework of steel girders was erected to prop it up. The reason the grave has gone so long unopened is because competing church authorities with rights over the sepulcher have seldom agreed on anything. But they did authorize a new dome in 1996 and now plan extensive internal renovations. Martin Biddle, a 62-year-old Oxford professor of medieval archaeology, predicts the next step will be to bring down and rebuild the edicule, exposing the tomb. Biddle and his wife have spent a decade surveying the site, using ancient sources and modern photogrammetry. They are convinced that beneath four internal coverings is the burial place excavated by the Emperor Constantine in 325. "Originally the tomb was burrowed into a rocky hill slope," Biddle recently told Stuart Wavell of the Sunday Times of London. "Constantine cut away all the rock except a plug containing the rock-cut tomb. It was that plug which he embellished with marble decoration, and the remains of which are inside the edicule." Constantine's shrine survived for 600 years before its destruction in 1009. Since then, there have been three further constructions enclosing the tomb. "Once the outer skin is off," Biddle predicts, "I think that will leave a kind of jagged tooth, which will be the wreck of the previous edicule. Then, poking out of that will be the remains of the original rock-cut tomb, about five feet high. It will probably include a shelf sticking out from a rock wall." The tomb appears to have been accessible to believers for a century following the crucifixion, until Hadrian had it covered with rubble to erect a pagan temple in 135. Then, about 30 years before Constantine's excavation, the scholar Eusebius located Golgotha, the place of Jesus' crucifixion, leading the emperor's engineers to discover the gravesite. Biddle does not believe the tomb will tell us anything we do not already know about Jesus. "I believe Jesus was a historical figure who is very well-evidenced," he says. "Not many people have four different, almost contemporary biographies that survive." David Yount's latest book is ''Spiritual Simplicity'' (Simon Schuster).

I am a musician and a composer myself, influenced from the artists and groups above. At that time, in my teens and twenties I was not very well educated on the situation on this planet, even though I thought something must be very wrong. Often I thought the rock musicians had the answers... I know many of you might feel the same and therefore you may get upset about what I'm now going to tell you. But believe me, I've gone through all that myself, and after all - I WAS a rock musician too. The story, though, that I will tell you makes a whole lot of sense (unfortunately) and the glamour of rock music fades quite a bit. The following is an excerpt from Dr. John Coleman's excellent book "The Committee of 300", which is very informative on the subject of the Illuminati and is highly recommended. Very much of what he "predicted" in the early 80's happened exactly the way he said it would. The book in itself is from the early 90's. The Beatles and the Aquarian Conspiracy An outstanding example of social conditioning to accept change, even when it is recognized as unwelcome change by the large population group in the sights of Stanford Research Institute, was the "advent" of the BEATLES. The Beatles were brought to the United States as part of a social experiment which would subject large population groups to brainwashing of which they were not even aware. When Tavistock brought the Beatles to the United States nobody could have imagined the cultural disaster that was to follow in their wake. The Beatles were an integral part of "THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY," a living organism which sprang From "THE CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN," URH (489)- 2150-Policy Research Report No. 4/4/74. Policy Report pre-pared by SRI Center for the study of Social Policy, Director, Professor Willis Harmon. The phenomenon of the Beatles was not a spontaneous rebellion by youth against the old social system. Instead it was a carefully crafted plot to introduce by a conspiratorial body which could not be identified, a highly destructive and divisive element into a large population group targeted for change against its will. New words and new phrases-- prepared by Tavistock(1)-- were introduced to America along with the Beatles. Words such as "rock" in relation to music sounds, "teenager," "cool," "discovered" and "pop music" were a lexicon of disguised code words signifying the acceptance of drugs and arrived with and accompanied the Beatles wherever they went, to be "discovered" by "teenagers." Incidentally, the word "teenagers" was never used until just before the Beatles arrived on the scene, courtesy of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations. As in the case of gang wars, nothing could or would have been accomplished without the cooperation of the media, especially the electronic media and, in particular, the scurrilous Ed Sullivan who had been coached by the conspirators as to the role he was to play. Nobody would have paid much attention to the motley crew from Liverpool and the 12-atonal system of "music" that was to follow had it not been for an overabundance of press exposure. The 12-atonal system consisted of heavy, repetitive sounds, taken from the music of the cult of Dionysus and the Baal priesthood by Adorno and given a "modern" flavor by this special friend of the Queen of England and hence the Committee of 300. Tavistock and its Stanford Research Center created trigger words which then came into general usage around "rock music" and its fans. Trigger words created a distinct new break-away largely young population group which was persuaded by social engineering and conditioning to believe that the Beatles really were their favorite group. All trigger words devised in the context of "rock music" were designed for

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - India's Missiles India, Defying China and the U.S., Test-Fires New Missile Agni II Ballistic Missile Has Range of 1250 Miles INDIA successfully test-fired Agni II, a locally developed intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) to a distance of 1,250 miles off its eastern coast yesterday. It did so despite pressure from the United States and China to abandon the project and prevent a missile race in the region. Pramod Mahajan, the information minister said: "It was a perfect textbook fashion launch." A warning had been issued to prevent planes and ships from straying near the trajectory of the 23-yard-long Agni (Fire) II. The extended range missile weighs 19 tons and uses a mixture of liquid and solid fuel. It is also capable of carrying a 1,000-ton conventional or nuclear warhead. George Fernandes, the defence minister, and Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, his scientific adviser and the architect of India's advanced missile programme, were at the test-firing range on Wheelers Island in Orissa state. Neighbouring Pakistan, with whom India has fought three wars since independence 52 years ago, was informed of the test under an agreement signed last month. Its government has criticised Delhi for upping the security ante in South Asia. Sartaj Aziz, Pakistani foreign minister said: "Since they [India] have gone ahead and tested the missile we would probably have to respond, but we will make a decision in a day or two." Officials in Delhi said Agni II was a "contentious issue" in the nuclear talks with America after India's nuclear tests last May and a source of tension with China. An analyst with the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses at Delhi said: "The stakes for India will rise now that India has gone ahead and test-fired Agni II." The missile test comes at a difficult time for the Hindu nationalist-led coalition government. One of its principal allies has threatened to withdraw support later this week, forcing it out of power. But the government denied the test had anything to do with its internal crisis. The Agni has two variants - one with a 950-mile range that was successfully tested in 1994, declared a "technology demonstrator" and shelved under pressure from Western countries eager to prevent a missile race in Asia, and the second, with a 1,250-1,600 mile range test-fired yesterday. Defence planners said Agni II armed with a nuclear warhead would be India's deterrent against China, with whom it has an unresolved territorial dispute over which the two fought a war in 1962. In a nationwide television broadcast, Atal Behari Vajpayee, the Prime Minister, said India could not depend on anyone for its national security and had to develop its own capability. He reiterated India's stand on its no first use of nuclear weapons and said it wanted peace and harmony in the region. He has already stated that fear of China's nuclear and missile capability and mistrust between the two had prompted India to become a nuclear weapon state by carrying out multiple tests last May. The London Telegraph, April 12, 1999 Internet Commerce Banks Form Group to Guarantee Online Trading Identrus International banks are preparing to offer financial guarantees for companies trading over the internet, in an initiative that should encourage large-scale electronic commerce. A group of banks including ABN Amro of the Netherlands, Barclays Bank in the UK, Deutsche Bank in Germany and Chase Manhattan and Citibank in the US has formed a joint venture, Identrus, to complete the project. The group, based in New York, is in negotiations to add Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Sanwa Bank of Japan, giving it a broader geographical spread. Identrus would provide a business with an assurance about the identities of companies it planned to trade with over the internet. This could be backed up by a financial guarantee from one of Identrus's members. Visa, the international card payments group, has found that even though internet transactions account for less than 1 per cent of its EU turnover, they give rise to 47 per cent of its disputes and frauds. Business-to-business e-commerce is set to grow from about $15bn a year to $1,300bn in the US alone by 2003, according to forecasts from Forrester Research, the technology research group. But Guy Tallent, president and chief executive of Identrus, said businesses needed to know they could rely on their trading partners before e-commerce could fulfil these hopes. "Unless you have an electronic identity and the ability to trust the holder and signer of that identity, e-commerce can't take place," he said. Identrus depends on tested international contract law and therefore hopes to avoid some of the legal uncertainties that have plagued internet business.

Kosovo mine to yield $3 TRILLION + over 5 years. /A - Subject: "Proceed to victory!" Kosovo mine to yield $3 TRILLION + over 5 years. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (DSharp673) Date: Sun, Apr 11, 1999 7:54 PM Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Behold the New World Order. Like most wars, the Kosovo war is about money--- big money. It has nothing to do with ethnic cleansing, genocide, or atrocities. Its all about money. FOLLOW THE MONEY. The NATO powers are making a bold power grab to control a mining complex in Kosovo. "Last May, Mytilinaios SA [a Greek mining company] signed a five-year contract, worth $519 billion, with the state-owned RMHK Trepca [located in Kosovo] and the Serbian agency of foreign trade, in which Mytilinaios will forward one third of the mineral production in the international market and also upgrade mining equipment and facilities. Trepca mines are on the list of companies soon to be privatised, thus allowing the Greek company to buy stock." [Reference http://www.ana.gr/hermes/1998/feb/mining.htm] The state-owned Trepca mining complex (Stari Trg) is worth about $5 billion as a piece of real estate. Earning potential, however, is a different matter. The mine has not been sold. The referenced $519 billion contract with Greece obligates the state-owned mining facility to deliver one third of the minerals it produces over five years to Mytilinaios SA, the Greek mining company. This suggests that the remaining two thirds of minerals produced over five years could be sold at a comparable price to other mining companies. The grand total would be $1.56 TRILLIONpaid to the owner of the mining complex--for minerals produced over five years. Keep in mind that $1.56 TRILLION would be wholesale cost. We havent even discussed markup yet. Mining companies like Mytilinaios SA will sell minerals produced from the minelead, zinc, cadmium, gold, silverto the international market at a marked up price. If the markup is 200 percent, the net profit would be $1.56 TRILLION. This would be the net gain if NATO played by the rules and allowed countries to honor their agreements with Serbia. But what if NATO were to steal the mine? If NATO takes over the mine in Kosovo, then the profit is potentially doubled. That would give NATO about 3 TRILLION over five years minus a few billion to cover labor and maintenance of the mining equipment. We're talking big bucks. And it will be divided among mining companies in NATO nations. Is it any wonder that U.S. politicians are foaming at the mouth? If NATO loses this war, certain politicians will think their pockets have been picked. "Russia is a basket case. They cannot do anything... We cannot be disuaded from proceeding to victory... The debate should not be about how or why we got involved..., that is academic now. We must proceed to victory." -- Senator John McCain - 4/9/99 Behold the New World Order. Dave Sharp The following New York Times article from July 8, 1998 describes the mine in Kosovo, thereby putting the current NATO-Kosovo conflict in context. [IMPORTANT NOTE: U.S. intelligence has apparently blocked access to http://www.yugolsavia.com. It is my understanding that this web site contains information about the coveted mines in Kosovo.] *** July 8, 1998, Wednesday The New York Times [page A4] Foreign Desk Stari [Trg] Journal; Below It All in Kosovo, A War's Glittering Prize By CHRIS HEDGES The metal cage tumbled to the guts of the Stari [Trg] mine, with its glittering veins of lead, zinc, cadmium, gold and silver, its stagnant pools of water and muck, its steamy blasts, its miles of dank, gloomy tunnels and its vast stretches of Stygian darkness. As the iron box rattled and squealed on the ear-popping journey, dropping at 18 feet a second, it left behind the potent symbols of nationalism and ethnic identity scattered in disarray on the ground above. Instead, in the shrill cacophony, it exposed the real worth of Kosovo. The medieval Serbian monasteries and churches, crumbling mosques with silver domes and spindly minarets and a dark stone tower brooding over the Field of Blackbirds, where the Turks wiped out Serbian nobles 600 years ago and began 500 years of Ottoman rule, seemed to evaporate in the thin air. The fighting between the rebels of the Kosovo Liberation Army, with their intoxicating visions of an independent state, and the 50,000 Serbian soldiers and special policemen, who rule the province of Kosovo like a plantation, touched no one here. Neither did the rattle of gunfire, the thud of mortars, the anguish of refugees and bodies of the recently killed. Half a mile underground, hissing rubber air hoses were looped along tunnel walls and small lights hooked on the hard hats of miners bobbed in the inky universe. Worm-like diesel loaders
[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Federal Jurisdiction Restricted !
From: "David Crockett Williams" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Federal Jurisdiction restricted. Imperative info for drug war prisoners! This is NOT considered legal advice. This is provided for educational and informational purposes! Anyone concerned with the War on Drugs, below is info regarding a recent Supreme Court Case, which basically says the following: The federal government is prohibited by the Constitution from assuming any police power within a state, ie, the Federal bureau's of the DEA, FBI, ATF, etc. have NO JURISDICTION in any state! only in federal districts, or on federal property, which they need to prove is 'federally owned'. [The Chief Justice made clear that under the Constitution, the federal government was specifically restrained from exercising any general police power whatsoever with in a State which is not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.] 1. Supreme Court ends Federal Police Power 2. Article from Media Bypass Magazine 3. Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Territorial Jurisdiction = 1. SUPREME COURT ENDS FEDERAL POLICE POWER The Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Lopez, No. 93-1260, 115 S. Ct. 1624, 131 L. Ed. 2d 626, handed down regarding a Texas firearms case, that "The federal government has nothing approaching a police power" to exercise in the States of the Union. This case is HUGE. It virtually destroys, overnight, the Federal Government's ability to lawfully enforce in the States, practically everything. It properly recognizes and re-establishes the basic (but forgotten) principle of law regarding JURISDICTION, BOTH over subject matter, AND territory. United States v. Lopez may be found by going to http://caselaw.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=searchcourt=UScase=/da ta/us/000/u10287.html Since the States of the Union ALL have their OWN SOVEREIGN Governments, separate, AND NOT UNDER THE CONTROL, of the Federal Government, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANNOT SHOW THE TERRITORIAL (exclusive OR shared) JURISDICTION NECESSARY TO PRESS CRIMINAL CHARGES (FOR ANYTHING) IN ASSOCIATION WITH ALLEGED CRIMES COMITTED ON LAND WITHIN A STATE OF THE UNION, NOT UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL (enclaves, military bases, Federal building leases, etc.) (The only crimes authorized in the Constitution for Federal prosecution are Treason, Piracy and Counterfeit.) The Interstate Commerce Act DOES NOT APPLY to activities THAT DO NOT INVOLVE MORE THAN ONE STATE, so the Federal Government cannot claim any legal right to interfere with ANY activity on State (or private) land, in any State in the Nation. It is up to the State, and State law, to address those issues. = 2. MEDIA BYPASS MAGAZINE: Jan 1996 The Lopez Decision More than 60 percent of federal prisoners are locked up for IRS violations, political and victimless crimes, etc. They and most other federal prisoners are incarcerated in violation of the Constitution of the United States. Every one of them, except those being held for the crimes of treason, piracy on the high seas, counterfeiting gold or silver coin or committing a criminal act in Washington, D. C. or on some military reservations, can be freed from the sentences imposed upon them by the federal courts . Every word you have just read is true. This was proven as recently as April 26, 1995 in the Supreme Court's landmark Lopez decision. This writer believes that federal prisoners who do not fall into the categories enumerated above can get out of prison by filing a writ of habeas corpus and an appeal of their conviction based on challenging federal jurisdiction to bring charges against them for crimes they were convicted of, if they occurred within the borders of a state. Consider a magician's performance. He distracts you by directing your attention to his right hand while his left hand is placing the coin in your ear. That is what the corrupt employees of the federal executive branch have been doing to our nation's citizens for over a century. They direct your attention to charges and long-established procedures, and defendants trying to fight their individual charges fail to note the deft hand which steals their freedom by fraudulently asserting authority they do not have. More than a century ago, attorneys seized inordinate power in the court system. Prior to that time, every person who was charged in federal court with a crime that allegedly occurred within the borders of a state, and who challenged federal territorial jurisdiction, gained his freedom by either having his case dismissed or his conviction overturned and being set free. Consider the following passage, quoted in the 1995 Lopez decision, where the Great Chief Justice John Marshall made clear in his famous decisions of New York v. Milne 36 U.S. (11 Pet.) 102 (1837) and People v. Godfrey 17 Johns. 225 (N.Y., 1819) that the federal government is prohibited by the Constitution from assuming any police
[CTRL] Fwd: Bugliosi BS on JFK Assassination
New York Daily News Original Story Date: 050497 Original Story Section: Media Business Manson Murders To JFK Killing The man who put Charles Manson away and slammed O.J. Simpson in print is now turning his sharp prosecutorial skills to another big case: the JFK assassination. But unlike the scores of other [Image] writers who have taken on the much-studied subject, "Helter Skelter" author Vincent Bugliosi is going to argue that the killing wasn't a conspiracy. "My view is Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone," Bugliosi told the Daily News yesterday. In the book, which will be published by W.W. Norton next year and probably span two volumes, Bugliosi plans to demolish many of the conspiracy theories that have cropped up during the past 34 years since that November 22, 1963 murder in Dallas. "A lot of these theories seem to be valid but when you put them under a microsope, they fall apart," said the former Los Angeles district attorney. In fact, he's got the long knives out for one pop theory of the assassination that made it to film as Oliver Stone's "J.F.K.", that the U.S. government had a hand in knocking off the President. Bugliosi said he turned into an anti-conspiracy buff when he was called on four years ago to play the role of the prosecuting attorney in "The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald," the mammoth 26-hour courtroom drama on British TV. To many publishing insiders, Bugliosi's take sounds a lot like that of author Gerald Posner, who wrote the 1993 best seller, "Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of J.F.K." But Starling Lawrence, editor in chief at Norton, is banking on the star power of Bugliosi. "There were a lot of other books written about the Charles Manson case, but the book everyone remembers is 'Helter Skelter.' " he said.

Web Posted: April 11, 1999 t is a serpentine trail of corporations, government and intelligence agencies, political operatives, business tycoons and influence peddlers. And some insist that it is one linking the Chinese government to illegal contributions poured into American political campaigns, including the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections. Today's Washington Times purports to tell some of the story, in an article which charges that "Chinese military intelligence officers diverted illegal campaign donations to the Clinton-Gore Reelection Committee" through a bank in Hong Kong, and the powerful Riady family of Indonesia which controls the giant Lippo Group conglomerate. A host of other names are mentioned, including Mochtar and James Riady, Democratic Party operatives John Huang and Charlie Trie, and even former Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell. Believe the Times, or the others hot on the trail of "soft money" -- the kind which comes from sources prohibited from contributing to American political campaigns, but is funneled through legitimate contributors -- and this is all about folks doing business with the Peoples' Republic of China, and trying to influence U.S. policy in the process. One name is conspicuously absent, though, from the Washington Times report on Lippo Group involvement with the "Chinagate" controversy -- televangelist Pat Robertson. Once again, Robertson seems to have fallen through the media cracks in stories which go to excruciating lengths to link the ruling Chinese elite with the Democratic political machine. Robertson, of course, is no Democrat, and is much more at home on the religious right fringes of the Republican Party which his Christian Coalition courts so assiduously. Most Americans know Robertson for his involvement with the CC, which he founded in 1989 before handing the group over to political boy-wonder Ralph Reed, or as the avuncular host of the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club" program. When Robertson appears on camera, he's often talking about the need for prayer, more donations, or issuing warnings about the "New World Order" of godless international financiers and political leaders bent on eroding American sovereignty. Behind the scenes, though, Robertson is a different man. In fact, both Robertson and his son, Timothy, are believed to maintain extensive, high-level contacts within the Chinese government. Pat Robertson is also emerging as a financial player on the world scene; he recently struck a deal with the Bank of Scotland to provide "virtual" or "officeless" financial services, and he moved on to the Board of the Directors of the once-trendy Laura Ashley company. He is a partner in a "no news, no sex, no violence" cable-satellite television venture which covers much of Asia and, yes, an intricate network of media outlets in China. Robertson is also a close friend and business partner of the same Riady family whose Lippo Group conglomerate is frequently mentioned in connection with

[CTRL] Fwd: WHITE HOUSE BUNGLES CRUISE MISSILE STRIKES
WHITE HOUSE BUNGLES CRUISE MISSILE STRIKES The Pentagon, Virginia USAF officials have confirmed that the White House has a history of bungling missile strikes, in particular targeting the Air Launched Cruise missile (ALCM). One specific example cited was the un-successful 1996 DESERT STRIKE operation where USAF ALCM cruise missiles with fragmentary warheads were mis-targeted on hardened Iraq bunkers on White House orders. The White House bypassed the USAF Air Combat Command (ACC) and directly ordered B-52s to fire the ALCMs on to the Iraqi bunkers. The frag warheads exploded harmlessly outside the Iraq bunkers, causing no damage. The Iraq bunker was destroyed later by a second, follow on, strike of NAVY Tomahawk missiles with conventional blast explosive warheads. U.S. JETS BOMB CHINESE SILKWORM SITE IN IRAQ The Persian Gulf U.S. NAVY and U.S. MARINE F-18 Hornets bombed an Iraqi "SILKWORM" site that posed a threat to U.S. Naval forces in the Persian Gulf. The Chinese made SILKWORM is a improved copy of the Russian STYX anti-ship cruise missile. Iraq and Iran both own large numbers of SILKWORM missiles. A British warship dodged Silkworm missiles during the Gulf war and the U.S. Navy used the 16 inch guns from a battleship to bombard Iraqi SILKWORM sites during the Gulf War. U.S. ARMY CHINESE ARMY SHARE SATELLITE NETWORK The Pentagon, Virginia The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has awarded Motorola a $219 million contract to supply satellite communications for the Pentagon. Motorola won a three year contract to provide mobile phones, pagers and other communications services operating with the Iridium LLC mobile satellite system. "The contract will allow users to buy all Iridium products, to include secure handsets when they are available," stated a DISA spokes-person. Iridium is a global communications satellite business that includes Motorola and China Great Wall Industries. Motorola invented Iridium, builds the phones and even makes parts of the satellites. Great Wall used China Aerospace Long March rocket to put some of the Iridium satellites into orbit (and was paid very well to do it). The system can best be described as cell phones in space. If you would like to see an Iridium phone you can view it in Bill Clinton's hands at my web site. There is a real neato photo of Bill at a Motorola Iridium factory from the 1996 campaign. http://www.softwar.net/barthman.html Motorola delayed the flight of two Iridium satellites on Chinese Long March booster and shipped both satellites back to America. An Iridium official told Aviation Week that the satellites were exposed to "environmental conditions" during processing in China. The satellites were replacements and the delay is not expected to effect the Iridium system operation. In addition, Motorola used former White House National Security Advisor Dr. Richard Barth to lobby for encrypted Iridium control systems to be exported to China. In 1995, Barth wrote to the White House "while we now are not yet applying for licenses for encrypted systems for satellite system positioning, we may within months be applying for such licenses for our Iridium systems". http://www.softwar.net/barth95.html Motorola has also been accused of helping Beijing build missiles with multiple nuclear warheads: http://www.softwar.net/missile.html Beyond The Loral-Hughes Controversy: A Decade of US Satellite Transfers And Their Military Significance, by Henry Sokolski, Executive Director, The Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, 1-202-466-4406 Specific Technology Transferred Validated Chinese upper stage separation technology, vibrational and load coupling analysis, attitude control, and payload mounting. Two Motorola communication satellites were to be delivered with a kick motor and new satellite dispenser of Chinese design. To assure successful launch, the contractor demanded that the Chinese prove that the Chinese systems would work properly and do the job. Concerns included the properly timed release of the satellites, the mounting of the satellites in the delivery bus (would the two satellites break from their moorings due to improper vibrational and load coupling analysis), would the delivery bus's attitude control be stabilized by the release of the fast satellite, and would the kick motor generate too little or too much thrust at the wrong time.

These ghouls are drilling holes in the coffins to see what the air is like. There are laws that this type of tampering cannot be done without the permission of the family, and there are plenty around Maryland who could have done so. If these creatures believe the will open the grave of Jesus Christ, will they cast lots once more for the remains of what they believe to be his . Who ordered this desecrationand you are quiete correct, it is not what they are looking for, and not what they will find.you know, they have already dug up the grave of the unknown soldier.as of late.

[CTRL] Foam Cancels Biological, Chemical Weapons in Moments
-Caveat Lector- Environment Foam Cancels Biological, Chemical Weapons in Moments ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, March 16, 1999 (ENS) - A sudsy foam created from ordinary substances found in common household products could be a first line of defense against a terrorist release of chemical or biological warfare agents. The single decontaminant is effective against all chemical and biological agents. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories have created a foam that begins neutralizing both chemical and biological agents in minutes. Because it is not harmful to people, it could be dispensed on the disaster scene immediately, even before casualties are evacuated. Foam developer Maher Tadros test sprays his creation. (Photos courtesy Sandia National Laboratory) "Whatever you do, it's best to act very quickly," says co-developer Maher Tadros of Sandia. "This foam can start neutralizing an agent or combinations of agents right away, even before you know what you're dealing with." In laboratory tests at Sandia the foam destroyed simulants of the most worrisome chemical agents (VX, mustard, and soman) and killed a simulant of anthrax, the toughest known biological agent. Against the anthrax simulant, after one hour only one anthrax spore out of 10 million was still alive. The U.S. has a number of strategies to deter a chemical or biological attack from ever occurring in this country, says Greg Thomas, Sandia program manager for chem-bio nonproliferation. "But if we are attacked," he says, "we'll need to have the tools available to respond." Sandia has discussed deploying the foam with various military organizations, police departments, subway systems, national laboratories, and an international airport. Like a fire retardant, the foam could be sprayed from handheld canisters. It also works as a fire retardant. For open areas, airports could have trucks to dispense foams over runways. Ideally, tanks of the foam could be incorporated into the fire sprinkler systems of high-profile government buildings or other potential targets - embassies, congressional buildings, the White House, subways, and the New York Stock Exchange, for instance. International law prohibits the Sandia researchers from possessing real chemical or biological agents, but they have taken samples of the foam to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago where the foam was tested against actual VX, mustard gas, and soman. In those tests the foam neutralized half the remaining chemical agent molecules every two to 10 minutes, depending on the agent. For most chemical agents the contamination remaining after one hour of exposure to the foam is insignificant. The foam neutralizes viral particles in minutes, as well. "It has performed superbly for all the agents we have tested it against," Tadros says. Researcher Mark Tucker compares petri dishes in his Sandia lab. More tests planned for April will pit the foam against real anthrax and other bacterial spores. "If you can kill spores, you can kill germinating bacteria and you can deactivate viruses," says foam co-developer Mark Tucker of Sandia. "Spores are the most difficult." The foam neutralizes chemical agents in much the same way a detergent lifts an oily spot from a stained shirt. Its surfactants, like those in hair conditioner, and mild oxidizing substances, like those in toothpaste, begin to chemically digest the chemical agent, seeking out the phosphate or sulfide bonds holding the molecules together and chopping the molecules into nontoxic pieces. How the foam kills bacterial spores still is not well understood, says Tucker adds. The researchers suspect the surfactants poke holes in the spore's protein armor, allowing the oxidizing agents to attack the genetic material inside. Research papers on the work have been presented at various technical gatherings of the chem-bio defense community, most recently at the National Research Council Workshop on Chem-bio Warfare Physical Protection and Decontamination in Washington, D.C., January 25 to 26. Sandia has filed for a patent on the substance, tentatively called Decon Foam 100. Currently available sprays, fogs, or other decontaminating products typically are based on bleach, chlorinated solvents, or other hazardous or corrosive materials, Tadros says. And many new and emerging decontaminants are designed to work against only a limited number of either chemical or biological agents. They also are expensive, he says. A new nerve-agent decontaminant made in Germany, for example, costs about $150 a pound. The Sandia foam, in comparison, could be produced for about 15 cents a pound, Tadros estimates. The U.S. Department of Energy is funding development of the foam as part of its larger Chemical and Biological Nonproliferation Program. The program, initiated through the Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996, seeks to develop intelligence capabilities, sensors, and other technologies that allow the

Re: [CTRL] OEN 4/12/99
-Caveat Lector- -- From: Kris Millegan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] OEN 4/12/99 Date: Monday, April 12, 1999 8:42 AM snip from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A CIA Ex-CIA Director Mishandled Secret Information, Newsweek Says DOJ, CIA Probe Security Breaches NEW YORK, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Former CIA director John Deutch has been investigated for repeatedly mishandling classified information, Newsweek reports in the current issue. According to Justice sources, Deutch routinely took work home, removing highly sensitive intelligence materials from CIA headquarters and accessing them on his unsecured personal computer -- even though he had a secure CIA computer at home. The Justice Department and the CIA began investigating Deutch after he stepped down as CIA chief in December 1996, after agency technicians went to his home to remove secure computer equipment that allowed him to view highly classified material he would no longer be authorized to see, reports Washington Correspondent Daniel Klaidman in the April 19, 1999 issue (on newsstands Monday, April 12). To their astonishment, the technicians discovered 31 secret files on his personal computer. The documents included intelligence on the 1996 terrorist attack on Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, reports on Iraq -- even a memo Deutch had written to President Clinton. Investigators say the computer was potentially vulnerable to hackers. The Justice Department, which investigated the case for more than a year, decided not to press criminal charges, and has referred the matter back to the CIA. Officials close to the case say that the CIA's inspector general is preparing a ``scathing'' report about Deutch's alleged security breaches, and the agency is considering whether to revoke his security clearances. Deutch declined to comment and his lawyers did not return phone calls. While some officials attribute the carelessness to arrogance, others liken it to absent- mindedness. One source close to the investigation says, ``It's one thing to be sloppy. This was reckless.'' Ironically, the inquiry languished until last month, when Energy Secretary Bill Richardson tapped Deutch to sort out allegations that China had penetrated the nation's top secret nuclear labs, Klaidman reports. A few days after the appointment, Deutch withdrew from the job, citing ``other commitments.'' But the CIA itself has come under suspicion in the China spying case. In a related story, Klaidman and Investigative Correspondent Mark Hosenball report that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are trying to put aside turf squabbles and work together on the stolen technology issue. They are planning to assemble a task force -- code-named ``Golden Tiger'' -- to crack down on the growing number of such unsolved cases. Investigators are still trying to determine if Beijing illegally obtained U.S. satellite technology from Hughes Aerospace and Loral Space Communications, two American manufacturers that sold commercial satellites to Beijing. Newsweek has learned that investigators want to know if CIA case officers who routinely debriefed Hughes corporation e xecutives about their dealings with China withheld knowledge regarding information transfers about the satellites to protect the spy agency's rapport with the company.

[CTRL] Recommended Reading
-Caveat Lector- If you can find it (it's probably out of print), check out Eugene FitzMaurice, *The Hawkeland Cache* (Wyndham Books, 1980; Berkeley Books, 1982). The book is a mother lode of information about the Jesuits and their hidden history--drawn from completely legitimate sources, a number of which I have confirmed independently. It is also a highly cynical, even sardonic, commentary on elite politics and the Invisible Government. A small sample: "Special Forces-staffed, C.I.A.-financed, Special Operations Groups were first used in Vietnam, where they operated intelligence networks in the north, led the [unsuccessful] raid on the Son Tay prison camp, carried out assassinations, and engaged in psychological warfare. [See Operation Phoenix, run by Edward Lansdale.] After the fall of Vietnam, they were employed around the world to establish, maintain, and destabilize governments which the United States wished to either support or destroy. "Every government which America wanted to influence needed men for one of these operations at some time. S.O.G. teams often equipped, trained, and led insurgent elements against governments which they had earlier established out of other insurgent elements. The only constant was that every government established with American help was rightist and every government destabilized had started to move left. "The Committee of Estimate...had long agreed that wars of national liberation would sweep the third world, driven by a force stronger than great-power allegiances. The American government was urged to accept the fact that people suffered as much under repressive fascists as they did under repressive communists. Ingersoll the financier knew that American capitalism could not be transplanted to third world nations, but it could be adapted to them. If for no other reason, he argued, aid should be given as freely to lieftist insurgents as to right-wing statists. "No one listened. This was because the highest levels of government are made up of nonprofessionals, academics, and planners who are always new to power. The liberal observer who studies government is always shocked by the transformation which overtakes him when he becomes the government. Having achieved his advisory power by arguing that politics must be liberalized, he fears that if he puts his plans into effect his own patriotism will be questioned. And so these men become even more rigid in the exercise of power, in the maintenance of rightist countries, than the professional politician who appreciates the beauty of opportunism. "An occasional exception to this is the man who shuttles between government and business. These lawyers (who are, after all, businessmen), bankers, and brokers are schooled only in the exercise of power. They have no constituency except their own ego and the partners who let them go in the hope that they will one day return with new business. The advice of such men is both valued and suspect. It takes a catastrophe for them to be heeded." (pp.31-32) = Robert F. Tatman [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remove "nospam" from the address to reply. NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

[CTRL] No Prosecution for Ex-CIA Chief
-Caveat Lector- Ex-CIA Chief Won't Be Prosecuted By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department has declined to prosecute former CIA Director John Deutch for keeping secret files on his unsecured personal computer at home after he stepped down as the nation's top spy, a department official said today. But the department recently sent the case back to the CIA for possible disciplinary action after it concluded Deutch's actions were reckless rather than criminal, this official said, requesting anonymity. The CIA is preparing a critical report and considering revocation of the security clearances Deutch still has as a government consultant, Newsweek magazine reported Sunday. Newsweek disclosed that in late 1996, CIA technicians found 31 secret files on Deutch's home computer. The CIA spent a year weighing the case before sending it to the Justice Department and the department spent another year reaching its decision, the magazine said. CIA spokesman Bill Harlow said he was familiar with the Newsweek story but could not comment. The newsmagazine said Deutch would not comment, and a call to his Massachusetts home was not returned. Quoting Justice Department sources, the magazine said Deutch's mishandling of classified material came to light shortly after he resigned in December 1996. Agency technicians went to his home for a routine check to ensure CIA procedures were being followed to protect secrets, Newsweek said. They found 31 classified national security documents on his personal computer, even though he had a secure agency computer at home, the report said. During the Justice Department investigation, Deutch was reappointed to a federal panel that studies how to combat proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and was given top security clearances, Newsweek said.

[CTRL] Rothschild Garage Sale
-Caveat Lector- Rothschild Art Collection Sold By SUE LEEMAN .c The Associated Press LONDON (AP) -- In the sumptuous surroundings of auctioneers Christie's, the portraits by Dutch master Frans Hals, the richly illustrated 16th-century religious manuscripts and lavish furniture built for King Louis XVI look quite at home. But behind them lies the tale of a famous family brought low by Nazi persecution. Christie's is selling 250 artworks from the collection put together last century by Barons Albert and Nathaniel von Rothschild, scions of the Austrian arm of the 250-year-old banking dynasty and both avid collectors. Within hours of annexing Austria in March 1938, the Nazis seized the Rothschilds' beloved artworks and it was only in February that the Austrian government agreed to return them. But the Rothschilds can no longer afford such luxuries. ``In the war, the palace in which this collection was exhibited was reduced to rubble, and so were their investments, factories and their wealth-producing powers,'' Christie's chairman Lord Hindlip said at a news conference Monday. ``The Rothschilds ... really have no alternative but to sell,'' he said. The sale on July 8 is expected to realize more than $40 million. At the end of the war, American soldiers discovered the Rothschild collection hidden in a ski resort in the Austrian Tyrol. From 1947, it went on display in leading museums, including Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Austrian Gallery. But last year, Culture Minister Elisabeth Gehrer granted permission for the works to be exported, saying she wanted to overturn the ``immoral decisions'' taken at war's end. ``It breaks my heart to see these things being sold: they are the last of my childhood,'' Albert's granddaughter, Baroness Bettina der Rothschild, said in a recent interview with The New York Times. Hindlip called the collection ``the most exciting I have seen in my 36-odd years at Christie's.'' Among the highlights of the 31 paintings to be sold are three Hals portraits, including one of the Amsterdam merchant Tieleman Roosterman, splendid in black suit with white ruff and cuffs. It alone is expected to fetch up to $5.6 million. The furniture collection includes a lavishly worked wooden commode built by cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener for Louis XVI's Fontainebleau palace in 1778 but later moved to Versailles. It carries an estimate of $2.4 million to $4 million. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] German Debate over Role in NATO
-Caveat Lector- "`We have a responsibility toward our allies in NATO [to support the airstrikes in Yugoslavia],'' argued German Chancellor Schroeder. "We ALSO sic have a responsibility toward the people of Kosovo.'' Schroeder Backed on Kosovo Stand By TONY CZUCZKA .c The Associated Press BONN, Germany (AP) -- Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder won broad support from his party today for his stand on bombing Yugoslavia after he rejected calls by left-wingers for a stop to NATO's air assault. Schroeder, speaking at a special convention of his Social Democrats, insisted Germany's credibility as a NATO ally was at stake in a conflict that has launched its military into combat for the first time since World War II. ``We have a responsibility toward our allies in NATO,'' Schroeder declared in a speech kicking off an afternoon of debate. ``We also have a responsibility toward the people of Kosovo, who have become victims of the most gruesome human rights violations.'' Kosovo overshadowed a meeting originally called to elect Schroeder as new party chairman, bolstering his authority in the 6-month-old government. His leftist rival, Oskar Lafontaine, quit that post and the finance minister's job last month in a power struggle. Running unopposed, Schroeder, a centrist, was elected today by 370 of 493 delegates, or 76 percent. The less than overwhelming support was a sign that many Social Democrats feel Schroeder doesn't represent the party's soul, having stayed aloof from its core left-wing beliefs and now going against its decades-old anti-war tradition. But with the party now forced to make hard choices in government, a large majority of delegates backed the government's staunch commitment to the NATO campaign in a show of hands. Addressing his critics, Schroeder repeated NATO's argument that continued airstrikes -- which include German Tornado warplanes -- are necessary to force Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic agree to peace in Kosovo and a return of ethnic Albanian refugees. ``An end to airstrikes would not bring us one millimeter closer to this goal,'' he said. That stand has provoked vocal objections from a leftist minority in the party as well as the once thoroughly pacifist Greens, Schroeder's junior coalition partner. But a motion by left-wingers and the Social Democrats' radical youth organization calling on the government to press for an end to the airstrikes and fresh Kosovo peace talks was rejected at the convention. Though its defeat had seemed certain from the outset, the move indicated the depth of unease among many Germans about their country's assertive new role in the post-Cold War world. ``It must be possible to replace military logic with political logic,'' said Andrea Nahles, head of the youth wing. Schroeder argued forcefully for his stand in an hourlong speech, saying that Germany had a special responsibility to stand firm against Milosevic precisely because of its Nazi past. ``Especially as Germans, our response must be clear: We must never again allow murder, expulsions and deportations to be tolerated by politicians,'' he said.

[CTRL] Serbia Invokes Alliance with Russia-Belarus
-Caveat Lector- Yugoslavia Wants Russian Alliance .c The Associated Press BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) -- Yugoslavia's parliament voted today to join an alliance with Russia and Belarus, an action aimed at getting military help to stop NATO airstrikes. Russia said membership can't be granted instantly. Serbian Premier Mirko Marjanovic said after the parliament vote that it was ``normal'' for Yugoslavia to join the union with its historic Christian Orthodox allies. ``It is yet another way to resist the NATO aggression,'' Marjanovic said. The NATO alliance says airstrikes will continue until Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic withdraws military and police forces cracking down on separatist rebels in the southern province of Kosovo. Milosevic requested membership in a letter to Russian President Boris Yeltsin that was delivered to the Russian Foreign Ministry on Sunday. ``Moscow positively regards the idea of Yugoslavia's membership in the union of Russia and Belarus, and corresponding orders have been given to study this issue,'' Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov told reporters in Moscow today. But Ivanov and other Russian officials have cautioned Yugoslavia that membership can't be granted quickly. Ivanov said last week that NATO operations against Yugoslavia were likely to be over before the country could be included in an expanded union. The pro-Western leaders of Montenegro, Serbia's partner in the Yugoslav federation, dismissed the federal parliament's resolution. Predrag Popovic, deputy speaker of the Montenegrin legislature, described the proposed union as Milosevic's ``last and desperate effort to save his power and the ideology of which he is a slave.'' Russia and Belarus haggled for months before their union deal was completed in 1997, and the incorporation of Yugoslavia into the alliance could present even more difficulties than the original agreement. Even if Yugoslavia is admitted, it wouldn't automatically mean military aid. The union calls for military cooperation, among other things, but also envisions extensive political and economic ties, including the possibility of a single currency. The Russia-Belarus union remains largely an agreement on paper. Both countries have deeply troubled economies and neither has been able to offer much assistance to the other. Ivanov reiterated that Russia doesn't want to get involved in the Yugoslav conflict militarily and ``targets all its efforts'' at preventing the conflict from spreading. The idea of a union between Russia, Belarus and Yugoslavia is popular among many politicians in Russia, though some, including Yeltsin, have said that now is not the best time to consider it. The notion of a Slavic union is particularly popular among Russian Communists, who regret the breakup of the Soviet Union. Throughout its troubled history, Yugoslavia always has been against any domination from either the West or the East and has jealously defended its sovereignty. The motion passed in each house without a dissenting vote. In a statement, the Yugoslav parliament called the proposal ``a historic step of great importance to Yugoslavia's people.''

[CTRL] Russia Sends Armored Convoy to Serbia
-Caveat Lector- Hungary, Russia Reach Deal on Convoy By ALEX BANDY .c The Associated Press BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- Hungary and Russia struck a deal today allowing a convoy of Russian trucks to proceed to Yugoslavia, Hungary's prime minister told Parliament. Hungary stopped the convoy of 73 trucks at its border with Ukraine on Saturday, denying entry because five of the vehicles were armor-plated. The vehicles violated the 1998 U.N. arms embargo on Yugoslavia, Hungarian officials said. The Russians said the convoy was carrying humanitarian aid for embattled Yugoslavia and that the armored vehicles were deployed ``to protect personnel providing humanitarian aid.'' Moscow threatened dire consequences if the matter wasn't resolved quickly. Under the deal struck today, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Russia would send home the five armored vehicles after their loads were transferred to other vehicles. ``With this agreement, the Hungarian government regards the issue over and closed,'' Orban said. Two Hungarian observers will accompany the trucks stalled at the Zahony border crossing from Ukraine, 150 miles east of Budapest. Four gasoline tankers will also be allowed to travel with the convoy, Orban said. NATO officials in Brussels, Belgium, said the armored vehicles and fuel could have been used militarily. NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said the trucks and fuel would have been ``a direct military asset.'' Convoy leader Vladimir Bashkirtsev accused Hungary of stopping the trucks under pressure from NATO, the ITAR-Tass and Interfax news agencies reported. Hungary, the former Soviet satellite bordering Yugoslavia, now is a member of the NATO alliance launching airstrikes on Yugoslav forces.

[CTRL] CONSUMERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE !
-Caveat Lector- The peoples have no say. All economic and political power is concentrated in the trans- national corporations, their mass media monopoly and their politicians. And from their point of view people are only of interest 1. - as slave labour, only to be kept barely alive at minimum existence level, - this giving rise to the general class struggle - but at the same time also 2. - as consumers to keep the profit machinery running at maximum speed. The great potential of this other more pleasant role of ours so far has only been exploited to a very limited extent and only for defensive purposes. So let us expand the class struggle with exploiting this potential in an OFFENSIVE strategy: Let us utilize the contradictions existing within the robbers' castle to our advantage and disarm their imperialist struggle over markets and resources before it now once again will lead to world war. Let us utilize the fact that it is our money the robbers are fighting over, and play the predators out against eachother, before they succeed in completing the monopolization process. Why should we always remain on the defensive although the salesmen are completely dependent on our willingness to buy their products ! GLOBALLY the consumers' power may be utilized for internationalization of the corporations. This strategy of the formative World Parliament of THE UNITED PEOPLES for saving our planet has web site address http://www.unitedpeoples.net (under construction). REGIONALLY and NATIONALLY the consumers' power may be utilized for the people's takeover of the ownership or part of the profits of national companies or local corporate production or distribution enterprises. In each country a United Peoples Party or, to start with, a Consumers' Power Committee, "CPC", comprising all progressive organisations, movements and individuals is formed. The CPC may comprise a group of neighbouring countries. The analysis of the market and identification of the products and enterprises to be targeted is carried out by progressive professional economists/NGOs/students under the guidance of the CPC. The enduring motivation and consent of the members of the CPC organisations and rest of the population first of all is achieved by setting up a precise and prioritized list of the welfare benefits their contributions will bring about, and by means of an independent control with openly published accounting of the outcome. The list should include easily perceptible and visible items. The tasks of the members will be, as consumers, to buy, respectively boycott continuously or for a specified period of time the products pointed out by the CPC, and to motivate rest of the population to do the same. EXAMPLE : Three enterprises, A, B and C, are selling almost identical products and share the market as follows: Shares of market: A B C xx Profits: A B C xx Depending on the market, the strength of the CPC, etc., each one of the enterprises is asked either A) - if it is willing to turn over the ownership to the people, if it is chosen as the only one to survive, the stockholders' invested money to be paid back over a specified period of time, or B) - how great share of its extra profits it will allot to the people, if it is chosen as the only one or one of the few enterprises whose products will not be boycotted. If, for example, A and B bid highest, the CPC may choose to let A and B share C's market and share C's profit with the people, rather than let either A or B get complete monopoly: Shares of market: AB xx Profits: ABCPC xxxx xx Everything of course will be based on a written agreement beforehand. CONCRETE EXAMPLES Bangladesh Population: 120 millions The CPC will include at least Bangladesh Agricultural Farm Labour Federation with 100.000 members spread all over the countryside, the Bangladesh Garment Workers Employees Federation in the cities and the Revolutionary Unity Front with 6 member organisations. At least in this context it is a great advantage that only very few people have TV-sets. People therefore are not so brain- washed as in other countries. Two thirds of the population being illiterate, people are used to the personal communication that the members of the CPC organisations will use in meetings all over the country. And the corporations cannot counteract the campaign by means of their TV monopoly. Only the two radio stations (governmental) may become a problem. Thailand Population: 60 millions The progressive trade unions with 200.000 members, the Assembly of The Poor in the rural areas, the Slum People in the urban areas and the Fisherfolk's Federation
[CTRL] McDougal Innocent of Obstruction
-Caveat Lector- McDougal Innocent of Obstruction Monday, April 12, 1999; 1:19 p.m. EDT LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Susan McDougal was found innocent of obstructing Kenneth Starr's Whitewater investigation and the judge declared a mistrial today on the other two charges against her. U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr. declared the mistrial on two criminal contempt counts just before jurors delivered the innocent verdict in the courtroom. ``I had a fair trial and my day in court and I thank you for that,'' Mrs. McDougal told the judge in court after the jury left the courtroom. Prosecutor Mark Barrett said a retrial is ``obviously an option.'' Barrett said he hoped prosecutors would decide within a couple of weeks whether to try again. Mrs. McDougal hugged her fiance, Pat Harris, and her attorney, Mark Geragos. Mrs. McDougal was charged with obstruction and criminal contempt for refusing to testify to grand juries in the Whitewater probe in 1996 and in 1998. She said her refusal was based on her fear that she would be charged with perjury unless she falsely testified against the Clintons. © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Global Peace Walk Report 12Apr99 PEACE is Victory!, Peace is The Target
-Caveat Lector- Report of 12 April 99: Global Peace Walk 1999-2000 http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/gpw.html from David Crockett Williams, Coordinator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Global Emergency Alert Response http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000 General Agency Services First, a suggestion: On the television coverage of the public gatherings in Belgrade, the local people are wearing a symbol of a target with a question mark inside the center. Since peace itself is the real target and only true peace represents any victory over war itself, the idea comes to mind of a new peace symbol to represent this idea which, if popularized, may unify people around the world: A target with the peace symbol in the center, or even a more complicated graphic where the center of the target "bull's eye" is a graphic of the globe with the peace symbol overlaid in the center. If anyone can help produce such graphic we would like to help promote it. Again, please consider the value of coordinating a regular local Global Peace Walk in your community to rally the various survival issue group members together in a united front campaign for "Global Peace Now!" and the recognition that "Only Peace is Victory!" One suggestions is to end a weekly short Global Community Peace Walk at the city hall in time for the walkers to offer weekly brief public comments to their city councils. More on local walks at http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/gcpw.html The purpose of the Global Peace Walk is to take the first step towards "Global Peace Now!" by bringing this out as a strong prayer, not only as a slogan or motto but to foster its acceptance all around the world as a universal human resolve, as the first step towards the actual manifestation of a lasting era of global peace and prosperity by recognizing the latent spiritually united nation of all of humanity related as one family by human beings' divine/natural connection to all life on Earth, i.e., All Our Relations. This is a time to pay attention to the wisdom of the indigenous spiritual leaders and to recognize the United Nations International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples 1995-2004, and the year 2000 as the UN International Year for a Culture of Peace. Reverend Yamato stopped by here for a brief lunchtime visit three days ago with the core group of Global Peace Walkers (Tsuyoshi, Hiromi, Samuel, and Christopher) on the way to New Mexico for the 5th annual Global Peace Walk from Taos to Santa Fe, April 22-26. We had a chance to discuss the urgent need to address the war in Yugoslavia by accelerating locally coordinated Global Peace Walk activities described following New Mexico information below. The walkers have a laptop computer along so those interested may also email to Global Peace Walk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Every year the annual Global Peace Walk starts from Kit Carson Park in Taos with a sunrise prayer ceremony on Earth Day, April 22nd, planting the peace tree with native elders. Then the NM 1999 schedule is: 4/23 The walk starts from south end of Taos to Picuris Pueblo; 4/24 Picuris Pueblo to Chimayo; 4/25 Chimayo to Pojaque; 4/26 Pojaque to Sante Fe Plaza at noon. Everyone is invited to join and camp along the way. Come prepared as this is a survival training/camping walk, all the way. There may be a camp established for folks gathering before April 22nd, details to be posted on GEAR2000 website below and advised in following posts as known. For more details the local contact person in Taos is Martha Bourke, phone 505-758-7078 (home), 758-5819 (work); 758-7248 (work fax); PO Box 784 Taos, NM 87571.

Taos, NM, is the first city whose mayor proclaimed it as a Global Peace Zone (1995) and Santa Fe is the first city whose mayor proclaimed a Global Peace Walk Day (26Apr). This is the reason for this annual route of the Global Peace Walk, to honor the leadership of these city mayors whose support has inspired numerous other city mayors to make similar proclamations of support, see partial list and texts at http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/listproc.html . At the gathering in Taos this year the final schedule for Global Peace Walk 2000 arrival in Washington, DC, will be determined. The original target date will be changed to reflect the schedule of about 10 days walking time from DC to the UN in New York to arrive for the United Nations 55th anniversary on October 24th. The ceremony to rededicate the Washington Monument as a symbol of peace will likely be in the area of October 12th, Columbus Day instead of September 19, 2000, the annual UN opening and International Day of Peace which will be observed in another city en route to DC.

[CTRL] END PAPER JUNK MAIL
-Caveat Lector- *****END PAPER JUNK MAIL Here it is. Some of this information is from the Consumer Research Institute, and much is from my own personal experience. This is a complete reference list, so don't let its length daunt you. EVEN IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW THE TOP 2 OR 3 SUGGESTIONS, you will rid your household of a substantial amount of junk mail. But if you are one of those hard core anti-junk mail types who is interested in truly ending junk mail (like I am), follow all of these steps and enjoy the 99.44% junk-free good life! Just being aware not to freely give out your name, address and phone number every time a business asks for it is the best thing you can do to curb the amount of junk mail (and telemarketing calls...) you receive. Good luck! * * * * * * End Junk Mail It requires time, paper, postage, envelopes, and awareness, but IT REALLY WORKS! A little bit of elbow grease will save you many, many hours of future junk mail handling and disposal. By following these tips you will literally conserve TONS of paper and vast amounts of water and other precious resources per year, which has a direct and substantially positive effect on our environment. 1. First and foremost, contact the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 9008, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008 and have them include you in their "delete" file which is sent to subscribing organizations several times a year. DMA is the largest existing source of junk mail. 2. To stop receiving those PRE-APPROVED credit card offers, contact the "big three" credit organizations and tell them to remove your name and address from all lists they sell, rent, or give out to other organizations for soliciting purposes. You can do this by calling 1-888-567-8688, which will remove your name from all three lists, or you can contact them separately to the addresses and phone numbers below.

Contact every organization you belong to or do business with and tell them to please have your name, address, and other account information used only for the matters directly relating to your account and that you do not want them to use, sell, rent, or give your account information to other organizations for soliciting purposes. (Mortgage company, catalog and magazine companies, frequent flyer or travel programs, cable TV, phone company, car insurance, etc.) Anyone who sends you a bill may be selling your name. Don't forget about your personal bank and credit card company, as they are the source of huge amounts of junk mail (Citibank and American Express are the worst offenders). 4. Don't unconsciously and automatically give out your full name, address, social security number or phone number just because someone asks you for it. Only give out information that is truly needed for the purpose at hand, and no more. 5. Write the following organizations and let them know that you want your name and/or address removed from all of their direct marketing lists. If junk mail is addressed to "current resident", make sure you tell them you are the only current resident. Many of these companies subscribe to DMA, but junk mail will cease much sooner if you write to them directly. Advo Incorporated Delivery Services 1001 W.

-Caveat Lector- From San Francisco Bay Guardian www.sfbg.com Truth be told? Are e-mail dispatches from Kosovo compromising the news media's coverage of the war in Yugoslavia? By Brooke Shelby Biggs Big surprise: the mainstream media is screwing up its coverage of the war in Kosovo. In all likelihood what you're probably seeing on your daily newspaper's front page is the strict NATO/U.S. Defense Department party line. That isn't news. It's propaganda. More surprising, though, is the eagerness with which the "alternative press" online is acting as a mouthpiece for "the other side" in the matter: Serbian nationals. We're confronted, often on a daily basis, with voices from within the battle zone "exposing" NATO atrocities against Serbs and debunking reports of ethnic cleansing. When it comes right down to it, these self-appointed Serbian mouthpieces are themselves simply parroting another source of political propaganda, only this time it's Slobodan Milosevic's regime. Even when independent Serb citizens discuss the subject, it's clear they've been influenced by the incessant propagandizing and lack of real information presented by Yugoslavia's state-run media. Online media is drawing the traditional media into the unsettling arena of "he said, she said" as news. There are two factors at work here: the media's penchant for simplifying everything into good guy vs. bad guy, and the paucity of independent journalists in Yugoslavia (most have been expelled or executed). So in place of real reporting, we're offered a flood of unmediated dispatches from nonjournalists often with a personal interest in how the war is fought and how it ends. NPR features the impossibly sympathetic Albanian Kosovar teenager; Salon offers us the self-righteous Serbian citizens (with disclaimer). Wired News publicized the "cyber-monk" of Kosovo. CNN is branding its Kosovo e-mail regurgitation as "In-Depth." This isn't really news, it's hearsay. But because we have no truly reliable sources of news on Kosovo, responsible journalists are looking to the Net to recruit Yugoslavs as amateur correspondents. These people have no ethical mandate to be unbiased any more than the government of Yugoslavia or the U.S. Defense Department does. Journalists clearly hope to uncover some rational, human voice that will make sense of the tragedy in Yugoslavia. We continue to hope that the Internet will be a great tool of the truth rather than a powerful means of disseminating propaganda. But in our search for man-on-the-street analysis, we often further empower the propagandists. We know the reports from NATO, Russia, and Yugoslavia are tainted with misinformation and lies, but we presume the vox populi is independent and objective. Online journalists have fought long and hard to break free of the characterization that we report whatever we hear and throw editorial judgment to the wind. Our critics have said that online news doesn't employ those "gatekeeping" skills critical to good reporting. They claim we tend to mix conjecture and theory with hard news such that it is impossible to tell which is which. We've made it hard on ourselves too: the theory of disintermediation claimed that the Net's purpose was to strip out the middleman (in the case of media, that's often the editor) and create a one-to-one, producer-to-consumer media model. Now we talk about "reintermediation" and call ourselves "filters" rather than "gatekeepers." Still, we have accepted this mantle with the intent to "add value" by weeding out the obtuse and irrelevant and deliver the meaningful and worthwhile. But we fail to do that with these tricky little "straight from the source" features. We remove ourselves journalistically from our duty to analyze and add context to the statements of our sources. We remove ourselves from accountability. And in so doing, we ultimately damage the legitimacy of Internet-borne news.

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Mike Ruppert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, April 12, 1999 11:17 AM Subject: [CIA-DRUGS] Re: CIA-DOJ Case: Cracks opening wider, dayling shinging in! From: "Mike Ruppert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Everybody - slow down! This effort at downward departure has already failed and it would never have succeeded anyway. Almost two years ago in 1997 I was subpoenaed as an Expert Witness in the L.A. case of the U.S. v Edward Hodge on just the same tactic. I have given expert testimony on narcotics and dangerous drugs twenty-seven time in state and local courts and I am an expert on CIA involvement. The Judge, Robert Takasugi, after six or seven continuances, and after the government flew in a senior U.S. attorney from Washington, gave the defendant a six point reduction in an apparent deal to not call me to the stand. The courts don't have to do anything they don't want to. I had a discussion with several attorneys after this message first appeared and it was obvious that this particular attorney had a paying client, a real drug dealer, and he ran up his bill niceley. We all must be judicious about what we spend our energy on. These lists and our activities, as we grow successful, will attract hundreds of disinformation messages designed to fragment our focus and energy.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The article, "CIA Complicity..." is very interesting, however, if I may make a worthwhile suggestion, I have often wondered why some lawyer don't use as a defense to any big drug defense case that fact that there exists in this Country today, a DOUBLE STANDARD OF JUSTICE, one for me and you, and one for all of the thugs that are selling dope under the guise of they being the "Government." Also, that to prosecute even one drug case the second defense kicks in also, and that is SELECTIVE PROSECUTION. This means that they selected the person that they wanted to prosecute over the others, the thugs that are selling it, ostensibly claiming that because they are a Mafioso clown that they have an immunity to prosecution by virtue of the fact that they are doing it under color of law, but strictly in violation of the law. Now, if any lawyer had the guts and ability to use these two defenses effectively it would become an effective defense to any drug case prosecution. There is an abundance of case law that selective prosecution is a defense to any prosecution. Also, it is likewise a defense to operate a double standard of justice, one set of laws for one set of people like in Kosovo. These two defenses are powerful and if developed and presented right would throw a monkey wrench into the thug's mechanism. Now, we have the problem like in many states, that you are not going to find a lawyer that has the guts and ability to take on the murderous thugs. It is essential to this kind of defense that one put on proof of the "government's" drug operation, like here, where I live and elsewhere where cocaine or crack is sold on the side of the street under the supervision of the local law enforcement. By calling these law enforcement people, enough of them to catch them in their lies, and presenting proof that they are selling it, permitting it, and covering it up, how could one loose? I hope that this gets the ball rolling and gets the "government" dope dealers in jail, and their playhouse torn up. How much profit do they make a year, I read where it is 114 BILLION dollars per year. Where does this money go and who gets it? People, we need to do some homework. Oscar B.

-Caveat Lector- From Boston Globe US to send 82 more warplanes Reserves facing call-up to stop 'ethnic cleansing,' Pentagon says for first time By Mary Leonard and Anne E. Kornblut, Globe Staff, 04/11/99 WASHINGTON - Heeding warnings that an even ''greater humanitarian disaster'' loomed for hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians trapped in Kosovo than for the more than half million who have fled the province in the past 18 days, the Pentagon announced yesterday that 82 more US warplanes were joining NATO's air campaign to crush Yugoslav forces. The Pentagon also, for the first time, said US reservists may be called up in the campaign to stop Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's ''ethnic cleansing'' - a term coined by Serbs to describe the forced removal of another ethnic group. The plight of ethnic Albanians hiding in the mountains and forests of Kosovo is ''a bigger problem than the refugees here,'' said Ilaz Ramajli, a Kosovo official in Albania. ''The refugees here arrived and do not have to fear for their lives. They are not being attacked.'' Ramajli, an aide to ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova, pleaded for NATO to airdrop food and medical aid to the Albanian Kosovars, who have been driven from their homes in the last two weeks by Serb police and paramilitary units. US officials estimate that up to 750,000 ethnic Albanians are displaced inside Kosovo, many in hiding, without food or adequate clothing, and some the victims of atrocities. ''They aren't living in luxury, and they aren't being treated very nicely,'' Major General Charles Wald said at the Pentagon. At NATO headquarters in Brussels, spokesman Jamie Shea said the alliance was ''very concerned'' but had no ''miracle solution'' for reaching the endangered Kosovar Albanians, many of whom were pushed back into the country after Yugoslavia closed Kosovo's borders Wednesday. The US response is not an airdrop over Kosovo - up to now such low-altitude air missions have been considered too risky for alliance pilots. Instead, the Pentagon is adding the 82 fighters, tankers, and transports to the 400 aircraft it has already committed to NATO to intensify the air war over Yugoslavia and its Serbian province, Kosovo. ''The addition of these aircraft will ... expand the number of strikes over any 24-hour period and give us more deep-strike capacity,'' said Pentagon spokesman Kenneth H. Bacon, adding that he expected other NATO allies to enhance their forces in a matter of days, too. ''Basically, it will allow us to increase the intensity of the air campaign over Kosovo and Yugoslavia,'' Bacon said. The aircraft, which were requested by the NATO commander, General Wesley K. Clark, and will join some 200 other allied warplanes in the force, include 24 F-16 fighters armed with HARM antiradar missiles; 4 tank-killing A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft; 6 radar-jamming EA-6B Prowlers; 39 KC-135s and 2 KC-10s, both refueling tanker aircraft; and 7 C-130 transports. The Pentagon has promised 24 Apache helicopter gunships, but Wald said yesterday it could take a month for them all to be in operation. Bacon also said the expanding air campaign could require the call-up of reserve military personnel. So far, enough reserve tanker pilots have volunteered to fly support missions, ''but if we reach a point where we exhaust the volunteer pool, then we probably would have to seek a reservist call-up for pilots,'' Bacon said. Because certain other military specialties exist only in the reserves, Bacon said ''it's conceivable'' there would have to be additional calls on reservists. Even with signs that NATO was widening the war, cloudy weather hampered its operations Friday night. Three out of four air missions were canceled, said Colonel Konrad Freytag, a NATO spokesman, though cruise missiles were fired from British and US ships. Freytag confirmed that a NATO bomb struck a radio-relay tower at Golec, near the Kosovo capital of Pristina. ''It was used mainly for military purposes, that's why we took it out,'' Freytag said, responding to complaints from Belgrade that the bombing knocked out Serbian TV broadcasts in Kosovo. Pentagon officials said they would not verify reports out of Yugoslavia that NATO bombs fell on the airport at Slatina, south of Pristina, yesterday. Explosions also were heard at a military airport in the capital of the Yugoslav republic of Montenegro. As air-raid sirens sounded in Belgrade and civilians stood as human shields on Danube bridges, the official news agency Tanjug said: ''NATO barbarians are attempting to bomb us just a few hours before the Orthodox Easter celebrations.'' NATO officials said the air campaign was having an effect. ''In the last two weeks we have inflicted a hell of a lot of damage, quite frankly, on the Yugoslav armed forces,'' said Shea, the spokesman. He estimated that half of the Serbs' MiG-29 aircraft had been destroyed, as had two of its three major Army headquarters, 50 percent of its

[CTRL] Fwd: The Socialist, the Communist, the Nihilist
There is a new breed of activist roaming the land. These are activists who believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with the large corporation itself -- that it is not what corporations do wrong that is the problem, it is corporations themselves that are the problem. These activists believe large corporations as they exist today are fundamentally undemocratic and cannot be reformed. These activists question whether corporations should be considered legal persons with the same rights of you and I and other living human beings. They question the very nature of the corporation. Richard Grossman and his colleagues at the Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy are travelling the country, encouraging activists of all stripes to begin asking fundamental questions about citizen control of corporations, to research the history of corporations, and to begin to question corporate control over the citizenry. In 1996, Grossman was in Columbus, Ohio, where he met with 25 activists from around the state for two days. One activist who attended was Greg Coleridge. Coleridge was born and raised and spent most of his life in Akron, Ohio. For the past 17 years, he has been an activist with the American Friends Service Committee -- the Quakers. After hearing Grossman speak, Coleridge and fellow activists in Ohio began researching the history of corporations in Ohio. They found a speech given by Williams Jennings Bryan to the 1912 Constitutional Convention in Columbus, Ohio. Ask yourself: Who today would speak in such a manner? This is what William Jennings Bryan had to say in 1912: "The first thing to understand is the difference between the natural person and the fictitious person, called the corporation. They differ in the purpose in which they are created, in the strength which they possess, and in the restraints under which they act. Man is the handiwork of God and was placed upon earth to carry out a Divine purpose. The corporation is the handiwork of man and was created to carry out a money-making policy. There is comparatively little difference in the strength of men. A corporation may be one hundred, one thousand, or even one million times stronger than the average man. Man acts under the restraints of conscience, and is influenced also by a belief in the future life. A corporation has no soul and cares nothing about the hereafter." They found that the Ohio Supreme Court stripped Standard Oil of Ohio of its charter for monopolizing the oil industry. The Standard Oil Trust fled to New Jersey, the Delaware of its day. And Standard Oil wasn't alone. The Ohio state legislature and courts had stripped dozens and dozens of corporations of their charters for wrongdoing. Don't do as we tell you and you're out! They found that the much ballyhooed Sherman Antitrust Act was a bone thrown to activists. The act was named after John Sherman, the Senator from Ohio. This is Senator Sherman urging his fellow members of the Senate to pass his legislation into law: The people "are feeling the power and grasp of these combinations, and are demanding of every [state] legislature and of Congress a remedy for this evil, only grown into huge proportions in recent times. . .You must heed their appeal, or be ready for the socialist, the communist, and the nihilist. . .Society is now disturbed by forces never felt before. The popular mind is agitated with problems that may disturb the social order. Among these, none is more threatening than the inequality of condition, wealth and opportunity" that has emerged from "the concentration of capital in vast combinations to control production and trade and to break down competition." Coleridge and his friends pulled together this information in a nifty little booklet called: Citizens Over Corporations: A Brief History of Democracy in Ohio and Challenges to Organizing in the Future. "Corporations are a different kind of creation," Coleridge told us recently. "There is no surprise that corporations have ended up working against the human interest and against the common good." So Greg, if not corporations, what? "If we can ever get to the point of asking that question, we will have moved forward," Coleridge says. "Just as fish think water is necessary for existence, human beings have come to see corporations as necessary to economic existence. It is so much accepted as a given that we don't tend to believe that there is any other way." Right now, Grossman, Coleridge and like minded activists around have a lot of questions and few answers. They are busy researching how we got ourselves into this soup -- from a situation where we controlled corporations, to where corporations are controlling us. For his part, Coleridge is not ashamed to admit that he doesn't know the answer to corporate power. "The corporate culture is a century or more in the making," he said. "It is going to take a few years for us collectively and democratically to understand where we are, how we

Instead, Air Force and other military officials now believe that spotters in Serbia, and perhaps in Bosnia and along the Montenegrin coast, may have patched together enough quick glimpses of the warplane from scattered radars to track the elusive aircraft, however briefly, and to fire a missile at it from a battery near Belgrade.

Copyright New York Times Company Apr 11, 1999 Full Text: Air Force investigators now believe that Yugoslavia jury-rigged its system of radars and communications to shoot down an F-117 stealth fighter two weeks ago, and as part of an accelerated air campaign Pentagon officials are sending forces that could help avoid a similar incident. Military officials said that as a result of the inquiry they now believe that a combination of low-tech tactics, quick learning and improvisation came together in one brilliant moment to shoot down the premier attack jet in America's arsenal. The culprit, they believe, is an SA-3 surface-to-air missile. But it probably was not used in the normal fashion, with its operators relying on their own local radars to detect the target, which leaves them vulnerable to NATO fighters that can home in on the radar beams. Instead, Air Force and other military officials now believe that spotters in Serbia, and perhaps in Bosnia and along the Montenegrin coast, may have patched together enough quick glimpses of the warplane from scattered radars to track the elusive aircraft, however briefly, and to fire a missile at it from a battery near Belgrade. They reached their conclusions, which are still under review, after extensive interviews with the rescued pilot, a review of technical clues and an analysis of how the Serbian air defenses have been operating. ''We think whoever did this won the lotto that night,'' said one senior American officer. NATO commanders are already applying the lessons learned from this incident, the only time a manned aircraft has been hit by enemy fire during the Balkan campaign. As part of the 82-plane buildup of American air forces in the region announced today, the Pentagon said it would add 24 additional Air Force F-16 fighters armed with specialized anti-radar missiles, along with six radar-jamming Navy EA-6B Prowlers. NATO wants those aircraft primarily to protect additional non-stealth warplanes on their bombing runs. But those kinds of planes will also be attacking the very network that most likely brought down the F-117. And NATO has increasingly struck at communications nodes of the kind that allow widely dispersed Serb radar stations to link together as they track allied planes. This week the alliance destroyed a telephone switching center in Pristina and a microwave relay station, also in Kosovo, even though that caused civilian damage that NATO targeters say they usually take pains to avoid. The Serbs have used their long-range radar sparingly in order to avoid an attack by NATO fighters. Still, NATO and Pentagon officials have such respect for Yugoslavia's air defenses that low-flying attack planes like the A-10 have flown only a handful of strike missions. But shooting down an F-117 defied the odds. It was a longshot, low-tech solution to a challenge posed by one of the most sophisticated warplanes in the world, Pentagon officials said. In the end, it may have been tactics aided by luck, and not technology, that brought down the F-117 and gave Belgrade a propaganda windfall. In addition to its radar-absorbing skin and radar-scattering angles, the Nighthawk, as the F-117 is called, typically flies a zig-zag pattern to avoid tracking. The F-117 is not invisible, but barely visible to most radars. It is most vulnerable when turning suddenly at low altitudes, which can reflect radar beams to receivers, or when opening its bomb bay door. What American military officials now suspect is that Serbian spotters, perhaps starting with spies in Italy

Box 20551 New York, New York 10023 ISBN 0-933488-32-7 --[6a]-- -6- Burr's Machine Prepares Americans Surrender The United States Burr fled from was crippled by dissension. The previous year, 1807, the Jefferson-Gallatin administration had responded to escalating attacks against American shipping by imposing an embargo against all U. S. export trade with foreign countries. To punish Britain and France for stealing our ships, cargoes, and crews, we would prohibit our ships from sailing anywhere they might get themselves captured! This might have been positive it did, indeed, increase native manufacturing by stifling foreign competitionexcept for the fact that Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin of Switzerland was put in charge of enforcing the embargo. Under Gallatin, trade with France and her allies was completely cut off, both by the U.S. Navy ships Gallatin employed, and the British cruisers which dominated the Atlantic. At the same time, trade with Britainsmuggling across the ocean and across the border with Canadaflourished under Gallatin's peculiar enforcement. The British consul in Boston arrogantly gave "licenses" to American shippers to pass the British blockade after running their own country's blockade of itself. This pathetic display of weakness by the government fed the sedition of the New England Federalists. John Quincy Adams went public 20 years later with a denunciation of the designs of the "Thirteen Confederates" who had plotted with Aaron Burr to dismember the Union and who still, in 1808, were working with England against the United States. James Madison was elected President in 1808, and Albert Gallatin was now in the most powerful position of his life; he continued in the Treasury post, and was, for all major policy decisions, virtually President. Aaron Burr's personal physician and protege, Dr. William Eustis of Boston,(1) was sworn in on March 7, 1809, as Secretary of War. Enemies of the United States were now in power both within the administration and in its opposition, centered in Boston (2) But a powerful movement to break the country out of this catastrophe was soon to emerge under the congressional leadership of Henry Clay of Kentucky. Clay and his followers proposed full-scale war with Britain, and the American conquest of Canada, as the salvation of American honor and independence, and of a revived national spirit. Gallatin tried his best to discourage Clay's nationalists, prevailing on President Madison to do or say nothing to give Britain, or Britain's American opponents, a pretext for war. He published an annual report in November 1811, warning of the drastic tax increases and higher interest rates that a war would necessitate. Virginia Senator William Giles introduced a bill in December 1811 to raise a 25,000-man army for five years' service. The administration had said the nation could not afford such a military force. Giles retorted that perhaps Treasury Secretary Gallatin lacked either the talent or the desire to defend the national honor, that he acted as if it were more important to retire the public debt than to provide for national defense. Giles contended that if Gallatin were such a financial genius, he would be able to find a way to finance the necessary measures. The attack against Gallatin, unfortunately, also brought down the Bank of the United States, whose 20-year charter expired without renewal in 1811. No institution viewed as being under Gallatin's domination could be approved by the enraged Congress. The United States was bankrupt, insulted, without any appreciable naval force. Henry Clay and his followers put the matter bluntly to James Madison: either you declare war, or we get a new President in the 1812 elections. The Second War for Independence, as it was known then, was declared on June 12, 1812. The previous month, on May 5, Aaron Burr had returned from exile, landing in Boston. In disguise, he made his way to Harvard University, where Harvard's President Kirkland gave Burr a check drawn on the Harvard treasury(3) to allow him to return to New York. Still in disguise, and still under indictment for treason and other crimes in various states, Burr went back to New York. Preparing for his return, Burr's daughter Theodosia had written to Albert Gallatin and the President's wife, Dolly Madison (who knew Aaron before she knew lames), asking them to arrange for his indictments to be quietly forgotten. Somehow, this was done. Burr was back, and had visited Boston, the center of anti-American operations, just before the war began. The first six months of war were a disaster for the United States. General William Hull, based in Michigan, planned the defense of Detroit with Secretary of War William Eustis, before war was declared. On his way west, Hull's convoy was attacked by the British out of Canada,

-Caveat Lector- Clinton Found in Contempt Judge Raps President for Deposition in Jones Case President Clinton reaches into a crowd of military personnel after his address at Barksdale Air Force Base. Hours later, a federal judge found Clinton in contempt of court over his testimony in the Paula Jones case. (Bill Haber/AP Photo) ABCNEWS.com W A S H I N G T O N, April 12 The Paula Jones sexual harassment case returned to haunt President Clinton today when a federal judge found him in contempt of court for lying under oath about Monica Lewinsky. Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled the president in contempt for willful failure to obey her repeated orders to testify truthfully. The record demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the president responded to plaintiffs questions by giving false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process. In the civil contempt finding, Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled Clinton will have to cover at least some of Jones legal costs. The contempt issue was first raised last September, when Wright aired her concerns about Clintons deposition in the Jones case, during which he denied having had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky. In the deposition, Clinton said flatly, I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. Wright wrote in her ruling that, It is difficult to construe the presidents sworn statements ... as anything other than a willful refusal to obey this courts discovery orders. Simply put, the presidents deposition testimony regarding whether he had ever been alone with Ms. Lewinsky was intentionally false and his statements regarding whether he had ever engaged in sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky likewise were intentionally false. Consideration of the contempt issue was put off during Clintons impeachment trial, which also centered around the presidents handling of the Lewinsky affair. But shortly after the Senate acquitted Clinton, Wright hinted in the footnote of another ruling that she would take steps to preserve the integrity of the Courts proceedings and provide a means of enforcement of its orders. Wright, one of Clintons former law students, tossed Jones suit out of court last April. Jones appealed the ruling, but agreed to settle after Clinton offered to pay $850,000. Jones alleged that, while she worked as an Arkansas state employee in 1991, then-Gov. Clinton dropped his pants and asked her to perform oral sex upon him in a Little Rock hotel room. Clinton denied the accusations and has attacked the case as politically motivated. Ironically, it was the defunct Jones case that first uncovered Clintons relationship with Lewinsky and led later to his impeachment. White House producer Josh Gerstein contributed to this report.

Re: [CTRL] First American 'from Polynesia'
-Caveat Lector- 4-12-1999, RJ wrote: First American 'from Polynesia' London Times, 4-12-99 Los Angeles: Thigh bones found on a California island could be from North America's oldest skeleton, according to scientists challenging American Indians' most cherished beliefs about the continent's population (Giles Whittell writes). The bones, stored since being found in 1959, are now said to be from a woman who died about 13,000 years ago - 1,400 years earlier than first told. The difference is crucial, suggesting the New World's first human beings may have come not by foot from Siberia, but by boat, possibly from Polynesia. "She may be the earliest inhabitant we have discovered," John Johnson of Santa Barbara Museum said after a paper was presented on Arlington Springs Woman, outlining retesting using new DNA and radiocarbon dating methods. If the date is correct, she would have lived when the mainland was roamed by woolly mammoths and covered largely by glaciers. from: http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/STATE/t32648.html Los Angeles Times Sunday, April 11, 1999 Channel Island Woman's Bones May Rewrite History By GARY POLAKOVIC, Times Staff Writer In a discovery that sheds new light on the human conquest of the New World, a team of scientists says that bones from an ancient woman who lived on the Channel Islands off Ventura County could be the oldest human remains ever found in North America. The extraordinary discovery provides important clues to a critical yet mysterious period in human history -- the end of the last major ice age -- when nomadic people began populating the Americas but left little evidence about who they were or where they came from. The woman's bones, subjected to recent reexamination after spending the better part of four decades in storage, join a growing body of ancient skeletal remains that challenges traditional theories that the first visitors came here from northern Asia by way of a land bridge to Alaska. The new evidence suggests that the first settlers could have been Polynesians or southern Asians who arrived by boat. Some of the recent remains have features more typical of Europeans, scientists say. "Bottom line is she may be the earliest inhabitant of North America we have discovered. It's a find of national significance," said John R. Johnson, curator of anthropology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, part of the team involved in the research. The skeletal remains consist of two thigh bones scooped from a gully at Arlington Canyon on Santa Rosa Island 40 years ago. They were tested in the 1960s and kept in their original soil before being encased in plaster and stored in the basement of the Santa Barbara museum. Researchers at the museum and Channel Islands National Park recently decided to subject the bones to sophisticated DNA and radiocarbon testing methods that were not available when the bones were discovered. The tests were performed by Stafford Research Laboratories in Boulder, Colo., one of the nation's preeminent carbon dating labs. The results showed that the bones are probably 13,000 years old, 1,400 years older than previously thought. That would make the so-called Arlington Springs woman slightly older than the oldest known human skeletons in North America, which came from Montana, Idaho and Texas, scientists say. Other members of the research team included scientists from the University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Radiocarbon Laboratory, and the National Park Service. Results of the investigation have not yet been submitted to peers for critical review and have not been published in scientific journals. But a paper describing the experiment presented March 30 at the fifth California Islands Symposium at the Santa Barbara museum has fueled excitement among leading scholars in the field. Two sets of tests were performed on the bones and have produced differing estimates of their age. The first set was performed by the Stafford lab and R. Ervin Taylor, chairman of the anthropology department at UC Riverside, another respected expert in the carbon dating of skeletons. Those tests produced an age of 11,000 years. Thomas W. Stafford, a research geochemist who runs the Stafford lab, performed a second set of tests on another piece of leg bone that was in better condition. That test isolated a protein common to bones and analyzed the remaining amino acids, which indicated an age of about 13,000 years. Additional tests on a lump of charcoal and a mouse jawbone, found beside the leg bones in the same stratum of soil, confirmed that age, Stafford said. Taylor said he hopes to double-check the older date by testing the same portion of femur that Stafford used. But he vouched for the other man's expertise.

[CTRL] Ulcer ( cancer) bacteria in tapwater?
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19990403/newsstory8.html Ulcers on tap by Jon Copley From New Scientist, 3 April 1999 THE SLIME THAT COATS WATER PIPES could be a haven for bacteria that cause stomach ulcers and gastric cancer, according to researchers at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases, from stomach inflammation to ulcers and even cancer. In developed countries, half of people over 50 years old carry the bacterium in their guts, and in developing countries an even larger proportion of people are affected. Several animals may harbour the microorganism, but so far no one has found a reservoir in the environment. Donald Reid and his colleagues in Scotland thought that H. pylori might thrive in biofilms. These form when microorganisms colonise surfaces such as the insides of water pipes, often surrounding themselves with a sticky protective film. "Biofilms occur naturally in all water distribution systems," says Reid. The researchers grew a biofilm inside stainless steel pipes in the laboratory and inoculated it with H. pylori. Even after unchlorinated water was flushed through the pipes for 192 hours, H. pylori still infested the biofilm. The team's findings will be published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology. "Anywhere there is a biofilm, there is a potential haven for Helicobacter pylori," says Reid. This is particularly likely in unchlorinated private wells and water supplies in developing countries. Although most public supplies in developed countries are chlorinated, Reid believes the bacteria could still survive inside the biofilm. "Chlorine is only going to attack the upper layers," he says. "By the time those are destroyed, the chlorine is gone." As the biofilm builds up, Reid says that bacteria may be washed away a few at a time or occasionally released as large clumps. A spokesman for Severn Trent, one of the largest suppliers of drinking water in Britain, says there are no studies that show H. pylori in treated water, so it is not included in routine water testing. "If a study showed it in treated water, we would want to investigate further," says the spokesman. © Copyright New Scientist, RBI Limited 1999 ---=--- from: http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99feb/germs.htm A New Germ Theory -- snip There is now little doubt that Helicobacter pylori, found in the stomachs of a third of adults in the United States, causes inflammation of the stomach lining. In 20 percent of infected people it produces an ulcer. Nearly everyone with a duodenal ulcer is infected. H. pylori infections can be readily diagnosed with endoscopic biopsy tests, a blood test for antibodies, or a breath test. In 90 percent of cases the infections can be cured in less than a month with antibiotics. (Unfortunately, many doctors still haven't gotten the news. A Colorado survey found that 46 percent of patients seeking medical attention for ulcer symptoms are never tested for H. pylori by their physicians.) snip H. pylori, the ulcer pathogen, confers a sixfold greater risk of stomach cancer, and accounts for at least half of all stomach cancers. Also, the lymphoid tissue of the stomach can produce a low-grade gastric lymphoma under the influence of this bacterium. Early reports indicate that the lymphoma is cured in 50 percent of cases by resolving the H. pylori infection -- which may mark the first time in medical history that cancer has been cured with an antibiotic. .

[CTRL] Draft dodging, War monger Liberals
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3709d42e77ce.htm Kosovo: the liberals' war -- By C. Raja Mohan The Hindu NEW DELHI, April 5. Where have all the Western liberals gone? Nearly two weeks into NATO's war against Serbia, there is barely a whimper of protest in either Europe or North America. But then you can't expect Western peaceniks to protest against a war they themselves are waging. Nearly eight years ago, the U.S. Democrats came very close to denying the President, Mr. George Bush, the authority to wage a war against Iraq's Mr. Saddam Hussein. But now it is a Democrat in the White House who is pursuing an open-ended war in the Balkans. In Britain, many leading lights of the Labour Party and the Left had strongly protested against the Gulf War. Now a Labour Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair, is among the NATO hawks on Kosovo. The reversal of attitudes towards war and peace among liberals is most visible in Germany, where the ruling alliance of Social Democrats and pacifist Greens has ordered the German bombers into combat for the first time since the end of Second World War. Until recently, German public opinion refused to endorse the participation of German armed forces even in international peace- keeping missions, given the sensitivities arising from the Nazi past. But now there is strong support in Germany for the war against Serbia. In France, where the intelligentsia traditionally revelled in opposing American "Cowboy imperialism", is backing the war against Serbia. The French Government, which had been promoting the idea of a "multipolar world" is now firmly with the United States in the Balkan war. The conservative French President, Mr. Jacques Chirac, and Socialist Prime Minister, Mr. Lionel Jospin, have set aside political differences and the traditional suspicion of the NATO to line up behind the bombing of Belgrade. Although there is some unease in Europe -- particularly among the former Communists and in Greece -- at the unfolding war in the Balkans, the measure of political unity that has emerged in the Continent against Serbia is unprecedented. A war started by the Western liberals in the Balkans has now gained strong support from the conservatives -- of course, for entirely different reasons. The liberals have always recoiled at the idea of going to war in pursuit of such crass objectives as balance of power, geopolitics, or securing valuable natural resources such as oil. The European liberals were particularly irked by what they saw as attempts by the U.S. to drag their nations, through the NATO, into such wars. They see the war in the Balkans, however, as being driven not by narrow national interests but by the moral imperative of preventing "genocide", "ethnic cleansing" and the return of "barbarism" to Europe. Although many in the world may not share this view, there is no denying the strength of this belief in Europe, and the absence of any sympathy for the Serb point of view. When the Balkan crisis began to unfold at the turn of the 1990s, the then U.S. President, Mr. Bush, was extremely reluctant to get involved. Despite the fact that he had successfully waged the Gulf War in the name of a "New world Order", Mr. Bush was determined not to repeat the adventure in the Balkans. Mr. Bush and other American conservative internationalists seemed to say "we don't have dog in that fight". With no conceivable geopolitical interest in the Balkans, the Bush Administration was quite happy to leave it to the European powers to manage the crisis. It was the American liberals who challenged the Republican policy of benign neglect and kept up the demand for a U.S. military intervention. In his election campaign against Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton attacked the American inaction in the Balkans. But when he took over as President, Mr. Clinton was equally wary of being drawn into the Balkan quagmire. But as the European efforts failed and the political pressure from the liberals mounted, Mr. Clinton got the U.S. inextricably entangled into the conflict by the mid- 1990s. The Balkans have became the new testing ground for the convictions of postmodern liberal internationalism in the West. Since the end of the Cold War, liberal internationalists have been the strongest champions of Western intervention in the internal affairs of other nations in pursuit of universal values. Discarding the earlier distrust of interventionary policies, induced by the Vietnam war, the liberals now sought to mobilise Western state power to set right every wrong in the world -- from human rights to environmental standards and from religious freedom to sexual orientation. Whether it was to save failing States in Somalia or Haiti, or the promotion of democracy in China and Myanmar, the liberals called for greater American activism through use of either military force or
Re: [CTRL] pesticide rain!
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19990403/newsstory12.html It's raining pesticides Fred Pearce and Debora Mackenzie From New Scientist, 3 April 1999 Rain is not what it used to be. A new study reveals that much of the precipitation in Europe contains such high levels of dissolved pesticides that it would be illegal to supply it as drinking water. Studies in Switzerland have found that rain is laced with toxic levels of atrazine, alachlor and other commonly used crop sprays. "Drinking water standards are regularly exceeded in rain," says Stephan Müller, a chemist at the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Dübendorf. The chemicals appear to have evaporated from fields and become part of the clouds. Both the European Union and Switzerland have set a limit of 100 nanograms for any particular pesticide in a litre of drinking water. But, especially in the first minutes of a heavy storm, rain can contain much more than that. In a study to be published by Müller and his colleague Thomas Bucheli in Analytical Chemistry this summer, one sample of rainwater contained almost 4000 nanograms per litre of 2,4-dinitrophenol, a widely used pesticide. Previously, the authors had shown that in rain samples taken from 41 storms, nine contained more than 100 nanograms of atrazine per litre, one of them around 900 nanograms. In the latest study, the highest concentrations of pesticides turned up in the first rain after a long dry spell, particularly when local fields had recently been sprayed. Until now, scientists had assumed that the pesticides only infiltrated groundwater directly from fields. Müller warns that the growing practice of using rainwater that falls onto roofs to recharge underground water may be adding to the danger. This water often contains dissolved herbicides that had been added to roofing materials, such as bitumen sheets, to prevent vegetation growing. He suggests that the first flush of rains should be diverted into sewers to minimise the pollution of drinking water, which is not usually treated to remove these herbicides and pesticides. Meanwhile, Swedish researchers have linked pesticides to one of the most rapidly increasing cancers in the Western world. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which has risen by 73 per cent in the US since 1973, is probably caused by several commonly used crop sprays, say the scientists. Lennart Hardell of Orebro Medical Centre and Mikael Eriksson of Lund University Hospital found Swedish sufferers of the disease were 2.7 times more likely to have been exposed to MCPA, a widely used weedkiller, than healthy people (Cancer, vol 85 p 1353). MCPA, which is used on grain crops, is sold as Target by the Swiss firm Novartis. In addition, patients were 3.7 times more likely to have been exposed to a range of fungicides, an association not previously reported. The patients were also 2.3 times more likely to have had contact with glyphosate, the most commonly used herbicide in Sweden. Use of this chemical, sold as Round-Up by the US firm Monsanto, is expected to rocket with the introduction of crops, such as Roundup-Ready soya beans, that are genetically modified to resist glyphosate. The researchers suggest that the chemicals have suppressed the patients' immunity, allowing viruses such as Epstein-Barr to trigger cancer. © Copyright New Scientist, RBI Limited 1999 .

[CTRL] [16] Mellon's Millions
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Mellon's Millions Harvey O'Conner©1933 Blue Ribbon Books New York, N.Y. --[16]-- 16 The Crash DID Andrew W. Mellon aspire to the Presidency? Did the adulation heaped upon the sponsor of the Mellon Plan by grateful business men and their press in 1927 awaken in him a desire to step from the exchequer into the White House? If so, it was an audacious dream, but not so fantastic as it seemed later. Why should not the dominant classes, which worshiped at the Stock Exchange and believed that the dollar was the touchstone of all human virtue, seek to elevate to the Presidency the most successful practitioner of the art of acquisition? Certainly the Mellon Machine in Pennsylvania did not view the proposal as either an idle or a futile gesture. Its leaders proceeded methodically to prepare the ground for the nomination of their chief. The trial balloon was sent up August 13, 1927, by Samuel S. Lewis, State Treasurer of Pennsylvania. The Secretary, he declared, was the only person with the necessary "experience, acumen, self-control, breadth of view and other manifold qualities of mind" for the post of Chief Executive. He was responsible for Coolidge's popularity and the success of his Administration. "A safe, sane and conservative man endowed with special equipment and experience along financial and economic lines is needed," Lewis summed up. Two days later, Governor John S. Fisher, just returned from a seance with the inscrutable Coolidge in the Black Hills, seconded the nomination. Mellon he felt was the "ideal man to manage the great business operations of the Government." The boom grew. Old Guardists hailed with delight the pros pect that the Secretary of the Treasury might head openly the Government he had guided. The Hearst papers spoke out for his candidacy. John Garner, Democratic leader, agreed that Mellon "is the most powerful man in the world today. . . . He has dominated the financial, economic and fiscal relations of the United States for the past five years. If the Republicans are looking for a strong candidate, they should name Mellon. I doubt very much whether the Democrats could beat him. He believes in the moneyed interests, and they would support him." The pre-nomination campaign got under way with the "thoroughness characteristic of the Mellons," said press dispatches from Pittsburgh. A book was to recount the Secretary's achievements. James Francis Burke, Republican National Committee counsel and Mellon lawyer, was to aid in preparing "educational material." The writers had been promised big money. Approached for comment, State Chairman W. L. Mellon said that "the Secretary would have to make any announcement of that kind when he was ready to do so." Eastern financial and political leaders read the news joyfully. If Calvin Coolidge did "not choose to run" in 1928, then Mellon was certainly the man. They liked Coolidge, not only for his abhorrence of rocking the ship of state, but because of his intimate rapport with Andrew Mellon. Certainly this master of finance, whose steadfastness had been proved by seven years under fire, was preferable to Herbert Hoover, officious, egotistic, shifty Secretary of Commerce who was pulling all wires that would lead him to the White House. Charley Schwab even thought that Mellon would be a better vote-getter than Hoover, whose chances he doubted against Al Smith. "I think," he confided to, Barron, the financial journalist, "that Mellon-may be the next President. I don't think he is too old. The people have been educated to see how he has reduced expenses, handled national finances, and what a success he has made." Whether he would be next President or not, the Secretary was regarded as the dictator of Republicanism and the Warwick of the party. If he rejected the crown himself, it was his prerogative to choose Coolidge's successor. The Chicago Tribune professed to know that he really favored Chief justice Hughes. Acknowledging him as the "big chief of the Eastern G. 0. P. and the spokesman for big business," the Tribune declared his choice was decisive. But Mellon denied the Hughes report. His own candidacy left the more judicious conservatives agape, It fell afoul deep-seated political prejudices, the lag in the public mind which now accepted plutocracy but shied at a plutocrat in the White House. The wealthiest American aspiring openly to the Presidency, what a target he would be for the Democratic and Progressive rabble-rousers to shoot at! Moderates felt that industry and finance assured themselves advantage enough in picking and training the players and giving them the general line of strategy. For the appearance of things, it would be better for the magnates to stay on the sidelines, confident that the game was in the bag. The New York Times viewed Mellon's nomination as "absurd to the point of impossibility." The Secretary himself denied that he was a candidate, and W. L. Mellon hastily retreated

Do you disagree with the following information: "In 1929, [Joseph P.] Kennedy joined with Blair and Co., a firm operated by Elisha Walker, later of Kuhn, Loeb, and Jean Monnet, to bid for control of A.P. Giannini's Transamerican Co., the controlling company for the Bank of America. The attempt failed, but Kennedy gained another invaluable contact. Jean Monnet had come to North America to represent his family's liquor business, Monnet et Cie., in dealings with the Hudson's Bay Company. In the period that Kennedy was working with Blair and Co., Monnet was traveling to Shanghai on a financial mission for the League of Nations. Given Monnet's associations with Hudson's Bay, it is likely that more was on the agenda than the financing of Chinese railroads. "Papa Joe also had business liaisons with the seamier side of the illegal distribution market. During his own bootlegging days in Prohibition, Kennedy entered into a coalition with Newark's Reinfeld Syndicate, 50% owned by the Bronfman gang. Joe retained his business dealings with the syndicate thugs until 1946. At that time, in preparation for the launching of his sons' political careers, Joe sold his liquor company, Somerset Importers Ltd., for $8 million to 'Renfield Importers'--a revised version of the Reinfeld Syndicate.* "As the end of Prohibition approached, Kennedy again turned to London, where Winston Churchill personally approved the grant given to him for the British distillers' franchise for the American market. Through Kennedy's Somerset Importers, Ltd. and Renfeld Importers, Kennedy marketed Dewar's scotch, Gordon's gin, Ron Rico rum, and Haig and Haig.** "...Kennedy acknowledged the deal by placing his accumulated fortune in the hands of one of the inner circle of London finance: Lazard Brothers, Ltd. Andre Meyer, head of the New York branch of that house, became the manager of the Kennedy Estates. Lazard Brothers, Ltd. is owned by Viscount Cowdray (Weetman John Churchill Pearson), who is the cousin of Winston Churchill.

[CTRL] George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, Chapter -XXI- Omaha
-Caveat Lector- http://www.radix.net/~tarpley/bush21.htm George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley Anton Chaitkin Chapter -XXI- Omaha On the morning of June 29, 1989, pandemonium erupted in the corridors of power in the nation's capital. ``Homosexual Prostitution Probe Ensnares Official of Bush, Reagan,'' screamed the front-page headline of the Washington Times with the kicker ``Call Boys Took Midnight Tour of White House.'' The Times reported, ``A homosexual prostitution ring is under investigation by federal and District authorities and includes among its clients key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, military officers, congressional aides and U.S. and foreign businessmen with close ties to Washington's political elite.'' The exposeé centered on the role of one Craig Spence, a Republican powerbroker known for his lavish ``power cocktail'' parties. Spence was well connected. He celebrated Independence Day 1988 by conducting a midnight tour of the White House in the company of two teenage male prostitutes among others in his party. Rumors circulated that a list existed of some 200 Washington prominents who had used the call boy service. The Number Two in charge of personnel affairs at the White House, who was responsible for filling all the top civil service posts in the federal bureaucracy, and Secretary of Labor Elizabeth Dole's chief of staff, were two individuals publicly identified as patrons of the call boy ring. Two of the ring's call boys were allegedly KGB operatives, according to a retired general from the Defense Intelligence Agency interviewed by the press. But the evidence seemed to point to a CIA sexual blackmail operation, instead. Spence's entire mansion was covered with hidden microphones, two-way mirrors and video cameras, ever ready to capture the indiscretions of Washington's high, mighty and perverse. The political criteria for proper sexual comportment had long been established in Washington: Any kinkiness goes, so long as you don't get caught. The popular proverb was that the only way a politician could hurt his career was if he were ``caught with a dead woman or a live boy'' in his bed. Months after the scandal had died down, and a few weeks before he allegedly committed suicide, Spence was asked who had given him the ``key'' to the White House. The Washington Times reported that ``Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by `top level' persons, including Donald Gregg, national security advisor to Vice President Bush''@s1 and later U.S. ambassador to South Korea. We have already had occasion to examine Don Gregg's role in Iran-Contra, and have observed his curious performance when testifying under oath before congressional committees. Gregg indignantly denied any connection to Spence, yet it is public record that Spence had sponsored a dinner in Gregg's honor in the spring of 1989 at Washington's posh Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown. George Bush was less than pleased with the media coverage of the prostitution charges and kept abreast of the scandal as it mushroomed. The Washington Times reported in an article titled ``White House Mute on Call Boy Scandal,'' that ``White House sources confirmed that President Bush has followed the story of the late night visit and Mr. Spence's links to a homosexual prostitution ring under investigation by federal authorities since they were disclosed June 29 in the Washington Times. But top officials will not discuss the story's substance, reportedly even among themselves. ``Press officers have rebuffed repeated requests to obtain Mr. Bush's reaction and decline to discuss investigations or fall out from the disclosures.''@s2 By midsummer, the scandal had been buried. The President had managed to avoid giving a single press conference where he would surely have been asked to comment. As the call boy ring affair dominated the cocktail gossip circuit in Washington, another scandal, halfway across the country in the state of Nebraska, peaked. Again this scandal knocked on the President's door. A black Republican who had been a leader in organizing minority support for the President's 1988 campaign and who proudly displayed a photo of himself and the President, arm in arm, in his Omaha home, was at the center of a sex and money scandal that continues to rock the Cornhusker state. The scandal originated with the collapse of the minority-oriented Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha, directed by Lawrence E. King, Jr., a nationally influential black Republican who sang the national anthem at both the 1984 and 1988 Republican conventions. King became the subject of the Nebraska Senate's investigation conducted by the specially created ``Franklin Committee'' to probe charges of embezzlement. In November 1988, King's offices were raided by the FBI and $40 million was discovered missing. Within weeks, the Nebraska Senate, which initially opened the inquiry to find out where the money had gone,

__ Stratfor's FREE Kosovo Crisis Center - http://www.stratfor.com/kosovo/crisis/ The most comprehensive coverage of the Kosovo Crisis anywhere on the Internet __ STRATFOR's Global Intelligence Update April 13, 1999 Ethnic Tensions Rising in Vojvodina Summary: The Hungarian media has been filled with stories of increasing tension between ethnic Hungarians and the Serbian population in the Serbian autonomous province of Vojvodina. Should the debate over ethnic division of southern Serbia spill over into the north, reviving an issue suppressed in the interest of Hungary's entry into NATO, it could spell trouble for Central European relations for years to come. Analysis: Hungarian radio, on April 11, reported that ethnic Hungarians living in the Vojvodina autonomous province of Serbia are becoming increasingly wary of an influx of armed Serbian refugees fleeing NATO attacks in Kosovo and the rest of Yugoslavia. The radio report went on to say that these refugees were organizing themselves in some villages, stepping up their verbal attacks toward ethnic Hungarians, and allegedly seizing and then dividing up the Hungarian houses among themselves. Jozsef Kasza, chairman of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM), expressed his concern over these developments, though he attempted to downplay the situation, saying, "This danger is not so explicit at the moment as to allow an atmosphere of panic to prevail in Vojvodina." Still, reports of ethnic Hungarians being drafted into the Serbian army have further increased tension in the province, and Budapest has begun to express its concern about the plight of Yugoslavia's ethnic Hungarians. The situation in Vojvodina is not nearly a crisis -- nowhere near the situation in Kosovo -- but the two are not unrelated. As NATO searches for a resolution of the Kosovo crisis, two ideas are emerging -- the possible partition of the province along ethnic lines and the possible use of ground troops to force a settlement. Both options threaten unsettling repercussions for Vojvodina and Hungary. First, there is the long term issue of discontiguous ethnic and national boundaries in Europe. Yugoslavia's constituent republics were wracked with civil wars when they attempted to declare independence, as enclaves of ethnic Serbs attempted to redraw the Balkan map such that Serbia's national boundaries matched the region's ethnic distribution. NATO attempted to block this process in Croatia and Bosnia, condemning it as "ethnic cleansing" and declaring existing boundaries inviolable, though it appears to be supporting ethnic Albanian self determination in Kosovo. For new NATO member Hungary, this issue hits close to home. Major enclaves of ethnic Hungarians were left behind the newly defined borders of neighboring Slovakia, Romania, and Serbia following World War I. Hungary's desire for return of those populations and regions was suppressed under the mantle of socialist unity during the Cold War. And it was again forced to abandon its claim to be protector of the rights of Hungarian minorities in neighboring states in order to win entry into NATO. NATO had no interest in inheriting the border disputes of new members. But now NATO is fighting for an enclave of a mistreated ethnic minority in Serbia. It has toyed with the possibility of matching national borders to ethnic distributions. And suddenly the Serbs are getting belligerent toward the Vojvodina Hungarians. Should the situation deteriorate in Vojvodina, Hungary will be certain to seek a quick remedy. And if Vojvodina, why not reopen the question of the Hungarian minorities of Slovakia and Romania. Kosovo is rejuvenating a long-term seething diplomatic problem that NATO had tried to get Hungary to lay aside. If the crisis in Kosovo soon ends in a diplomatic resolution, then the Vojvodina issue may just revert to being a long-term low-grade diplomatic irritant. But if NATO's bombing and the UN's diplomacy does not soon cow Milosevic, then NATO will begin to seriously consider a ground attack. That is not to say that NATO will carry through with such an attack, but it must keep its options open. One option for a ground attack is to strike from the north -- from Hungary, through Vojvodina, to threaten Belgrade. This route has an advantage over a thrust into Kosovo as the Vojvodina terrain is open and flat, though marshy, and a threat to Belgrade is a great deal more persuasive than a threat to Prizren. However, if Hungary begins to make an issue of the plight of the Vojvodina Hungarians, neighboring Romania and Slovakia will balk at what appears to be a NATO slicing off a chunk of Serbia for the Hungarians like it appears to be doing for the Albanians. In addition, Slovakia, which will have to agree to allow NATO troops to pass through to Hungary in the event of a full-scale invasion of Serbia, does not want to see any

THE HIDDEN RULERS By the mid-'30s, the Great Depression had already impoverished millions. Everybody was looking for an answer, an idealistic scheme, or even just a shred of hope that things would get better soon. Many flocked to utopian organizations and one of the strangest was a west coast group whose bible was a book entitled "Mankind United." "Mankind United" painted a grim picture of an ancient conspiracy of evil-doers, the "Hidden Rulers," who were behind all the wars, depressions, revolutions and injustices of the world, from day one. These evil-doers were now plotting to make things even worse, to literally enslave the mass of mankind. That was the bad news. The good news was that another vast, international organization was working against the Hidden Rulers. That was Mankind United. The book described how the benevolent organization was formed on Christmas day of 1875 by sixty "generous and deeply sincere men and women" known as the Sponsors. They formed a world-wide commercial organization, the Universal Service Corporation that would eventually run the world for the benefit of mankind, rather than for the benefit of the Hidden Rulers. Because the Hidden Rulers were ruthless and determined to eliminate all who stood in their path to power, the Sponsors were forced to work in total secrecy; even their identities were secret. The research wing of the Universal Service Corporation, the International Institute of Universal Research and Administration, produced many futuristic and fantastic inventions and devices, which also had to be kept strictly under wraps. But eventually, the corporation's knowledge and inventions would be shared with the world. The book went on to detail how the Sponsors chose hundreds of talented men and women from all over the world, called the Vigilantes, who underwent a secret, fifteen-year training course. When the time was right, the Vigilantes would present the Mankind United program to the world, via a "free 30-day Program," in which the Sponsors' "well-guarded sixty-years of discoveries and carefully prepared recommendations will be freely offered to the human race." After the program was completed, the entire population of the civilized world would vote on whether they wanted to live a life of hardship and deprivation as slaves of the Hidden Rulers, or live in the perfect utopia promised by Mankind United. Undoubtedly, the population would select Mankind United. After ten years, the New Age of prosperity would be ushered in. Among its benefits would be: Guaranteed employment for all. A work schedule of four hours per day, four days a week, eight months a year, paid vacation the rest of the time. Minimum salary of $3000 a year (in 1934 dollars); within ten years, all would be paid at least $30,000 a year. A pension of $3000 a year for all those over 40 who'd worked 11,000 hours, for incapacitated people and all those over 60. Every family in the world would have a spacious, air-conditioned home, with every convenience and gadget, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, hothouse, athletic courts, swimming pool, playground, fountains, waterfalls, shrubbery, trees and lawns. An "international auxiliary language" would be taught to everyone, in addition to their native tongue, to promote worldwide communication and brotherhood. Education would be universal. All transportation would be free. Fear, envy, jealousy, illness and war would all be things of the past. With hopes of living to see such a world, thousands joined Mankind United bureaus around Los Angeles and San Francisco. Members were told that there were 176 million members throughout the world. But at its height in 1939 there were about 27,000 active members. Those who attended Mankind United meetings were under the impression that they were hearing communications that originated with the secret, benevolent Sponsors. Their link to the Sponsors was a captivating speaker named Arthur Bell, and known as the Division Superintendent, The Speaker and most often, the Voice of the RightIdea. Bell told them he was one of the Vigilantes who had studied for fifteen years at the International Institute of Universal Research and Administration. Bell kept members in suspense as to when the 30-day Program would begin. He told them it couldn't begin until the Sponsors were sure that the public would cooperate. They didn't want their inventions to fall into the hands of the Hidden Rulers. But time was running out. The Hidden Rulers had pledged to exterminate 600 million of the most intelligent and religious people of earth, beginning on March 28th, 1939. Those who escaped bombing, gassing and poisoning "would have vibrating devices turned upon

Many of his predictions were based simply on events that were already in full swing: the population explosion, pollution and social upheaval. Others were out-and-out goofy. Needless to say, Kirban and every other prophet missed the boat on most major stories: the break-up of the Soviet Union, the untimely death of Princess Diana and the hole in the ozone layer to name just a few. Undaunted, Salem Kirban is still singing the same old tune, with current titles like "The New Age Secret Plan for World Conquest." Here are some of Kirban's more outlandishly incorrect predictions from 1970: 1975 * Churches will hold services in supermarkets and department stores. * A major catastrophe in outer space will occur. * The government will allow formerly illicit drugs to be sold in drug stores without prescription. * Queen Elizabeth will leave the throne, relinquishing her position to Prince Charles. 1976 * Because of an oxygen shortage, people will carry oxygen rejuvenation kits in their purses and pockets. * The frenzy whipped up by rock music and drugs will trigger a mob of thousands of young people that will threaten to overcome the present form of government. * A minor civil war will erupt. * A Bible paraphrased with obscene four-letter words and sex photos will come out. "Churches will hail this step as 'being in tune with reality.'" * The working week will be reduced to 3 days a week. * A near-riot will occur when thousands try to buy tickets to a pornography trade show. 1977 * Automobiles will be banned in the cities. Highways will be used for nuclear powered air-busses that hover above the ground. * Clothing will not be identified as either male or female. Women will wear pants and men will wear skirts interchangeably. See-through clothes will be worn freely. Lewd topless dress will become common in warm weather as the world forsaking God follows its own devices. Some church leaders will praise this. * The U.S. government will institute a "negative income tax," a guaranteed income for every citizen. 1978 * Dangerous levels of carbon dioxide will be reached. Oxygen inhalation stations will be at street corners, as commonplace as the mailbox. * The penny will be discontinued. * Marijuana will be legalized and distributed by tobacco companies. * Garbage will be rocketed into the sun. * A head transplant will be undertaken successfully on a well-known personality. 1979 * Travel from Chicago to Tokyo will take only one hour. * The U.S. Government will control all medical facilities. Socialized medicine will be fully in effect. 1980 * U.S. government officials and leaders will be assassinated on a regular basis. * The U.S. Government will be on the verge of collapse by insurrection. * NASA will land a human being on Mars. * A United States of Africa will be formed. 1981 * The United States Government will take over all food distribution outlets and even control supermarkets. 1982 * The amount of sunlight reaching earth will be reduced by one half. * A severe oxygen shortage will occur. Compact oxygen masks will become a necessity. This will cause terror and worldwide panic. * Fresh fruits and vegetables will all but disappear. Protein cakes will be sold. 1983 * Air pollution will destroy trees. In some areas trees will only be preserved in special greenhouse Museums as an oddity. * The Capitol of the United States will move from Washington, D.C. * China and Japan will declare war on Israel. 1985 * The guillotine will be introduced in America. * Dwellers in the world's big cities will be living on a diet of bacon bits, fruit in a tube and reconstituted water.

The New World Preservation Society Gerry Trainor founded the New World Preservation Society to help the world recover from an event that will look a lot like Doomsday. It won't be the END of the world, he says, but rather a REALIGNMENT of it. And those who manage to survive the mess will live in the new improved world society of peace, understanding--and communication with spirits. Trainor's early years, in Michigan, were filled with "unusual" experiences. He nearly drowned while learning to swim, and missed a lightning strike by just four feet. While a teenager, he saw a UFO and also began experimenting with mental telepathy. Trainor hadn't much thought about these experiences many years later while he was pursuing his business career in Atlanta. Nor did he pay much attention to the preachers and perennial doomsday prophets on the radio. Then, a baffling incident occurred: Trainor had an expensive car for sale and placed an ad in the paper. An old gentleman who looked like he couldn't possibly afford the luxury vehicle arrived to look at it. Inside his old jalopy a tape was playing. It was a preacher's sermon about the end-times. He took the car for a test drive, with Trainor in the passenger seat. Trainor was charmed by him. During the drive he asked Trainor if he read the Bible and Revelations and began "describing signs of the second coming of Jesus." Trainor was deeply affected when he "talked about storms, famines and earthquakes" and advised that he "pay attention to the signs around us." Trainor never heard from the old gentleman again, but later concluded that he could be "a messenger from God." Not too long afterwards, T rainer began receiving end-time messages from a disembodied entity named Nereus. Trainor, who claims to have a skeptical perspective, quit his business career to pursue the paranormal full-time. Using "automatic writing," Trainor began receiving messages from Nereus, a former earthling, via his computer keyboard. Thousands of pages of advice and predictions of the earth's future from "another plane of existence" were the result. In 1991 Nereus began warning Trainor about the coming cataclysms. He began one message, "Good morning. We would like to talk with you about the amount of time there is to prepare for the shift." What Nereus meant by "the shift" was that there were "signs" that "the earth is about to shift on its axis." The entity went on to explain that similar shifts had occurred about twenty times in the past million years, when the earth was attempting to "rebalance itself." Nereus continued his message with details of the coming cataclysms. He warned that when the earth readjusts its axis, there will be "great releases of pressure" between the earth's tectonic plates. This will cause massive, unparalleled earthquakes, and "a gigantic rocking motion or wobble as the earth spins." This, in turn will cause massive tsunamis: "The waves will be so great that they will in fact destroy all life and construction as far inland as the waves will strike. Since most of the population of the earth is centered at the shore lines of the continents, this will have the effect of eliminating from one third to a half of all of the people on earth." Nereus also told Trainor when this all might occur. He estimated that it would happen before the year 2000, probably between '96 and '98. We can look for the following events in the next few years: * "Two to three years before the shift there will be an earthquake in California of monstrous proportions. This will be the big quake that scientists have predicted for generations. California will separate from the mainland and much of it will sink under water." * "The world will be stunned by the quake and the losses in life will be in the hundreds of thousands to millions." * "There will be increases in storms throughout the world. Areas of drought will appear as well as areas of excessive rain and moisture." * "The final stages of the shift will be felt as a rocking motion in the earth. When that begins you can expect the shift to occur within less than three months." * "As the shift approaches, there will be a vibration and shaking that will take place at periodic intervals. It will act much the same as a spinning top does just prior to falling down. You will see it spin in balance and then every once and a while it will begin to shake uncontrollably and then jump back into balance and so on. We don't know how long this will last, but we do know that the shaking and vibration will get worse and worse each time it happens." * "Finally, when the intensity is high enough during this vibration, the plates of the earth will make gigantic moves causing earthquakes of
[CTRL] Americans Must Be Crazy
-Caveat Lector- Americans Must Be Crazy by Joseph Farah http://www.worldnetdaily.com/ No matter how you slice it, the critical judgment of Americans is severely impaired. I have been watching the polls like everyone else since the start of the U.S. NATO aggression against Serbia and scratching my head wondering how it is possible that so many Americans support an illegal, immoral, incomprehensible, nonsensical war. Like many others, I assumed the polls must be rigged by the war-crazed establishment press that conducts them. So I decided last week we would conduct our own unbiased public opinion survey, with the help of the respected pollster John Zogby. The results were not encouraging for anyone hopeful Americans can hold on to the ideals that made their country free and independent. It seems Americans now believe they have a right -- perhaps even a duty -- to impose their will on a sovereign nation, even when the civil conflict has no direct bearing on the vital interests of our nation. Americans believe the president has the power to direct such military action unilaterally, without the approval of Congress and the assent of the people. Americans, by a slim majority, even believe President Clinton, despite all his many moral and ethical shortcomings, and his failure to serve the military when called, is capable of directing such action. Watching the effects of 30 years of the deliberate dumbing-down of a people is not a pretty sight. Americans are now certifiably insane. They are crazy. They are suffering a mass psychosis. They have lost their own ability to discern right from wrong. According to the WorldNetDaily/Zogby survey conducted last week, Americans conclude Bill Clinton possesses the moral authority and character to lead the United States and its military through a protracted engagement in the Balkans. True, it's hardly a mandate to wage war, with the majority representing only 50.2 percent. But it's still shocking to me. I don't meet people on a daily basis who believe that. I hear from them by e-mail. I see them on talking-head shows. But I don't meet real Americans who believe that -- so I assumed they represented a small minority of the population. It turns out the polls conducted by CNN, Washington Post, ABC, Time, and the rest are not out of line. Americans can no longer think for themselves. Their minds have been co-opted by government propaganda. This is an extremely dangerous development for the well-being of our nation. In analyzing the results of the key question, Zogby said, "It still wasn't a substantial vote of confidence. I mean, the country is almost evenly split on whether or not he has the moral authority, and that suggests a president whose wings have been fairly clipped." Not clipped enough, Mr. Zogby. Not nearly enough. The poll also found that 53.9 percent of those polled believe that the bombing of civilian infrastructure targets in Yugoslavia, such as water and power supplies, is justified. It should be pointed out that Zogby added some, in my opinion, "loaded words" to the question as originally phrased by WorldNetDaily. He asked if such bombing was justified to "save lives." Nevertheless, given the response to the first question, I don't think the results would be dramatically different without that phrase. Democrats and Republicans alike agreed with the idea that the bombings are justified -- even after seeing the effects of the bombings and the resultant increase in civilian deaths. Zogby says the numbers are understandable in light of what most Americans have been seeing through media coverage of the war. "What they were seeing was Americans being taken hostage, tens of thousands of people being dislocated somewhere between 'no-man's land' and Macedonia, and a defiant Milosevic," Zogby said. "Within this context, I think that it's fairly easy to see why a majority would say, 'Go for it.'" I was more hopeful that Americans were smarter than that. Finally, only 23.9 percent of those surveyed believe Clinton ordered the bombing attacks as a distraction from the growing Chinagate scandal. Another 64 percent did not believe that was a factor. Other surveys show this slim majority breaking down should Americans begin suffering serious casualties in the Balkans war. In other words, they approve of a war in which we inflict death and destruction on others, but will not accept any sacrifice themselves. If that is not a surreal and arrogant expectation of war, I don't know what is. Have you ever watched a nation go mad before? I guess America has the leadership it deserves. © 1999 Western Journalism Center --- "...There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it ever come at all, will be from another quarter.

The enemies to your freedom do not necessarily lurk behind closed doors in Washington D.C.

No, the enemies of your freedom live next door and are found in every city and town in America. "We have met the enemy, and they are us." And, while there is a conspiracy [An agreement, manifesting itself in words or deeds, by which two or more persons confederate to do an unlawful act, or to use unlawful to do an act which is lawful. - From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)], they do not want to overthrow the government - they want to change government for their own agenda and they want you to pay for it. In 1954 The Ford Foundation President H. Rowan Gaither told Norman Dodd, investigator for Congressman Reece's Committee, that their objective "was to alter our life in the United States so that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union." The Soviet Union no longer exists as we knew it. What has emerged is a much larger globalist entity. Virtually every major name in banking from Rockefeller to Rothschild to Robert McNamara (president of The World Bank) has spoken of the reality of an interlocking global economy - that what happens on Wall Street one minute is felt in London or Tokyo the next, that the complex jigsaw puzzle of world economy is moving into an oscillating ball that will eventually unify nations and currencies in the global marketplace, and that the economic forces of the earth are moving relentlessly toward a unified world system. If Rothschild was right about controlling the money, you control the country, then it is pretty easy to see how Communism can fail so conveniently for the New World Order and how basically the same people who were communists then, are now Socialist Democrats and still running things. The average American Citizen isn't going to give up his Constitution for some World Government too easily. We and our ancestors have fought too long and shed too much blood for it to give up easily. The plan is for Americans to give up their freedom willingly. Socialist reform is the only way that a one world order can be established without a direct military confrontation.

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. - 1 Timothy 6:10 Much of the hostility toward private wealth comes from the hatred of its ability to insulate the citizen from the will of the state. Money empowers resistance; it gives one the ability to buy some gold coins, for example, and thereby hold a measure of independence from the monetary monopoly of the state; to send children to a private school and avoid the brainwashing of the public education monopoly; to open a foreign bank account and provide oneself with protection against legal confiscation schemes. Why do you suppose the federal government waged what was essentially an all-out war on entrepreneurs early in the century? The enemy was degradingly called the "mob" and their product was alcohol and gambling. The socialists in government won that war and the federal government now controls and profits from the burgeoning alcohol and gambling business. Putting fear into the minds of its citizens and falsifying the facts have always been the modus operandi of those wanting to install a Socialist-Democratic society in America. The word "survival" is never far from the lips of those who wish to impose state power in order to protect us from disaster, named or unnamed. The buzzword of the nineties is "crisis." Suppose that we were to enter a major depression as bad or worse than 1929. Then suppose a party comes along and says "Vote for us and we will take you into the New World Order, have world trade, put you to work again." Do you think if you and your children were starving that you might be willing to give up your freedom so that you might feed them? Well, that scenario may not be in the far too distant future. It seems the current rage is a Y2K Crisis that some predict will cause widespread outages of computers controlling everything from the banks to electric utilities.

-Caveat Lector- From Int'l Herald Tribune Paris, Tuesday, April 13, 1999 Yugoslavia Seeks Union With Russia and Belarus By Michael Dobbs Washington Post Service BELGRADE - The Yugoslav Parliament voted unanimously Monday to seek a political union with Russia and Belarus, in what appeared to be a largely symbolic attempt to gain support from the Slavic world in resisting the NATO bombing campaign. While there has been much talk about Serbian-Russian friendship over the centuries, the vote flew in the face of a fiercely independent Yugoslav tradition in relations with its larger Slavic brother. Yugoslavia's former Communist ruler, Marshal Tito, broke with his Soviet patrons in 1948 and devoted much of his career to resisting calls from Moscow for closer ties. Serbian officials depicted the proposed alliance with Russia and Belarus as a psychological lift for Serbs in their struggle with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization over Kosovo. The prime minister, Mirko Marjanovic, described the vote as ''yet another way to resist the NATO aggression.'' Both houses of the Yugoslav Parliament passed the motion for union to standing ovations without a dissenting vote. In the Chamber of Citizens, the lower house, 110 deputies voted for the measure, none voted against and five abstained. In the Chamber of the Republic, 26 deputies voted for, none against and one abstained, the Yugoslav press agency said. President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia wrote to President Boris Yeltsin of Russia on Sunday to formally request membership in the alliance. While Russian officials welcomed the application, they appeared to be in no hurry to take action on it. Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov of Russia said that the matter would require detailed study. He said last week that NATO operations against Yugoslavia would probably be over before the country could be included in an expanded union. Concluded in 1997 after lengthy haggling, the union between Russia and Belarus has remained largely a dead letter, in part because of the very different personalities of Mr. Yeltsin and President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus. Mr. Yeltsin has been wary of attempts by Mr. Lukashenko to revive the old Soviet Union and secure a larger stage for his own political ambitions. The addition of Yugoslavia to the union would only add a further complication. Yugoslav leaders have been disappointed by the relatively modest support they have received from Moscow for their resistance to NATO. There was a brief flurry of excitement last week after the speaker of the Russian Parliament, Gennadi Seleznev, announced that Mr. Yeltsin had retargeted Russian nuclear missiles on NATO countries. But the report was later denied by other Russian officials. ''Any pressure on NATO to stop this aggression is welcome,'' said the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry's spokesman, Nebojsa Vujovic. ''We fully intend to defend our territorial integrity and sovereignty, but we can defend ourselves sooner with friends.'' A stream of Russian visitors, from Mr. Seleznev to Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov to a delegation of Russian Cossacks, have called on Mr. Milosevic during the last two weeks to express moral support for the Serbian cause and outrage over the continued NATO attacks. But there has been little in the way of military support, and Mr. Yeltsin and other Russian leaders have made it clear that Moscow wants to keep out of the Balkan imbroglio. There have been some signs that Russia could play a significant diplomatic role as a mediator in the event of a negotiated settlement to the conflict. The Russian ambassador to Belgrade, Yuri Kotov, has visited Kosovo and held talks with local Serbian officials and the moderate ethnic Albanian leader, Ibrahim Rugova, who is being held under Serb ''protection'' at his home. Russia has taken a paternalistic interest in the Balkans ever since Serbia regained its independence from the Turks in 1878. When Austria-Hungary presented Serbia with an ultimatum in 1914 following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo by a Serbian patriot, Russia was the first to come to Serbia's defense. During World War II, the Yugoslav Partisans led by Tito looked to Moscow for ideological leadership, but relations cooled after the war as Stalin sought to assert his control over Yugoslavia. After Yugoslavia was expelled from the Soviet-led Comintern in 1948, the country gradually opened up to the West. Most middle-class Serbs, particularly in the big cities, probably still feel more in common with the West than with their Slavic brothers in Russia.

-Caveat Lector- From Kanwa CAN THE NATO BREAK THROUGH THE AIR-DEFENSE FIRE NETS OF CHINA AND RUSSIA? photos S300PMU2 by Andrei Pinkov Tor-M1 by Andrei Pinkov end photos Kanwa news April 6, 1999 The NATO entered the territorial sky of both Iraq and Yugoslavia without any difficulty. As far as the pure military significance is concerned, can the air force of this strongest military group break through the air-defense systems of both Russia and China as it did during the current air strike on Yugoslavia? After the beginning the 1990s, a large number of Russian air-defense systems that Iraq and Yugoslavia had never used made their appearances in Russia, including the most advanced S300PMU1, S300PMU2, S300V, S400, BUK-M1, BUK-M2, Tor-M1, Tunguska, and SHILKA systems. Among them, the S300PMU1, S300PMU, TorM-1, and BUK-M1 (the naval version) have already equipped or will soon equip the Chinese army. China has also been trying to enhance the building of its air-defense force since the Gulf War. To this end, China has developed the FM80, FM90, FD2000, FT2000, LY60, KS1, and QW2 air-defense missile systems. All the above-mentioned systems are a generation more advanced in their performances than the air-defense weapons Iraq and Yugoslavia use. Especially, the Russian systems have formed a new fire net that covers the ultra-high altitude, high altitude, middle altitude, low altitude, and minimum low altitude. Thus, the area of air-defense under the coverage of the fire net has increased. For example, the range of the S400 has been extended to 400 kilometers. In the meantime, the detective methods have also been found to be diversified with the new systems. For instance, the Chinese FM90 and the Russian BUK-M1, BUK-M2, and Tor-M1 are all equipped with the TV tracking system and carry the variable-frequency radar that has a strong anti-interference capability. The phased array radar has been used in the S300, S400, FD2000, and TorM1 and it enables the systems to track and attack several targets at the same time. In addition, the Tor-M1 also possesses the capability of launching a head-on attack on the cruise missiles that travel at a low altitude. While proposing the air-defense theory of taking the control of the territorial sky with the ground-to-air missiles as the major weapon (Yi Di Zhi Kong), the Chinese military theorists emphasized strengthening their air force. Now the Chinese air force has been equipped with the different kinds of detective systems, including the IRST system that is installed on the Su27. On the other hand, the stealth fighter planes and bombers may have found it easy to escape unnoticed soon after they fulfilled their bombing missions in such small and narrow countries as Iraq and Serbia. However, in such large countries as China and Russia, each of which has a vast expanse of territory, things will be different. In the time of war, they will put more planes on patrol, use the AWACS, and resort to various detective methods. Major General F. Ilyushin, the first chief test pilot of the Su27 and a two-time winner of the "Soviet Hero", indicated to the KWIC reporter, "Once caught by my students with their Su27s, the US stealth attack planes can be easily destroyed only by the guns on the Su27s". Andrei Pinkov Kanwa news) From Korean Central News Agency U.S.-led NATO aggression on Yugoslavia assailed Pyongyang, April 12 (KCNA) -- The United States insists that the NATO force's military operations against Yugoslavia are a military measure for "peace" but this is nothing but a sophism to conceal their aggressive and criminal nature, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. It continues: The Kosovo issue is an internal affair of Yugoslavia and a matter to be settled by Yugoslavia in a responsible manner. Nobody has a right to interfere in the issue by force of arms. Therefore, the large-scale military operations undertaken by the U.S. with the mobilization of the NATO forces are a brigandish armed invasion of a sovereign state in contravention of the UN Charter and international laws, which should never be tolerated. The NATO's acts of aggression against Yugoslavia are an indication that the arbitrary, high-handed and aggressive nature of the United States has reached its height. The United States launched an aggression on Yugoslavia this time, but nobody knows which country will be the next target of its armed assault. Drawing attention to the vicious maneuvering of the U.S. war hawks to provoke a new war of aggression on the Korean peninsula, the daily warns: If the United States dare unleash a reckless war against the DPRK, underrating its strength as other's, it will only taste a bitter cup of defeat.

RUC ACCUSED OF COLLUSION BY UN; NELSON INVESTIGATION SLATED 2. Parties Prime Ministers to try again 3. Man injured in loyalist bomb attack 4. Feature: A year of living dangerously _ RUC ACCUSED OF COLLUSION BY UN; NELSON INVESTIGATION SLATED Calls for a totally independent investigation into the murder of human rights lawyer Rosemary Nelson continue as further RUC incompetence and disinterest in the case are exposed. At the same time, the British government and the RUC have been accused of collusion in the murder of another defence lawyer in a report compiled by the United Nations, to be presented tomorrow. Special rapporteur Param Cumaraswamy, who investigated claims of RUC-loyalist collusion and harassment of lawyers, demands that the government establishes an independent inquiry into the murder of Belfast lawyer Pat Finucane in 1990. In his report he says that the RUC also showed "complete indifference" to allegations of harassment and intimidation of defence lawyers. The report, which prominently features testimony by Rosemary Nelson, says revelations by investigative journalists of British Army RUC collusion in murders "further substantiates" the conclusion "that there was possible security force collusion in the murder of Pat Finucane". RUC members are among the suspects in the murder of Mrs Nelson, who was killed on March 15 by a booby-trap bomb planted underneath her car as it was parked outside her offices. Promises by the force to carry out a full and rigorous investigation were unmasked as fanciful last week, when it was revealed that the wrong date and telephone number appeared on an appeal for information put out by the RUC. And contradictory statements issued by the RUC have heightened fears that the investigation is a sham. Drawing attention to the RUC's control of the investigation, Bairbre de Brun said: "Assurances were given that an independent element was to be introduced in the form of David Phillips, chief constable of Kent, and FBI legal attache John Guldo. "When it became clear that neither of these men were actually here in the six counties, a further announcement was made by the RUC that the deputy chief constable of Norfolk was being brought in. "The excuse was given that David Phillips was unable to spend time here but that Colin Port can." The Sinn Fein assembly representative for West Belfast said this move raised a number of questions. Ms de Brun asked: "Why were we told previously that David Phillips's involvement would provide necessary outside oversight, if in fact he is unable to do so? "Why did David Phillips express satisfaction in the day-to-day handling of the investigation by the RUC if he hasn't got time to oversee how they carry out that work? "Who now controls, directs and commands the investigation? "What outside investigation, if any, is taking place? "Why are contradictory statements being issued on a regular basis by the RUC?" A blundering investigation mounted by the RUC has not inspired confidence that a real effort is being made to find the killers. A faxed appeal from the RUC seeking information on the movement of vehicles in the Lurgan area just prior to the Nelson killing, dated Sunday as "the 13th". The Sunday in question actually fell on March 14. The astonishing error was further compounded as telephone callers rang the number supplied by the RUC murder inquiry team to alert them of the error, only to be told by a British Telecom answering service that the number had been discontinued. This latest example of careless errors follows hard on the heels of a damning report by the Independent Commission for Police Complaints (ICPC), recently leaked to the media. The report exposed members of the RUC tasked with investigating complaints made by Rosemary Nelson of harassment by the fiorce, including death threats before her murder, as deliberately obstructive and dismissive. The inability and unwillingness of the RUC to investigate Rosemary Nelson's complaints led the ICPC, which was acting in a supervisory role, to request that the RUC be pulled off the case. Metropolitan Police Chief Niall Mulvilhill, together with a team of his own officers, took over the investigation from the RUC. Describing how Rosemary Nelson travelled to the United States to give evidence to a congressional hearing on RUC death threats and intimidation of defence lawyers, Ms de Brun said: "There is no evidence now to suggest that the RUC will be any more vigorous in their investigation of Rosemary Nelson's murder, and of any link between her killing and threats made to life by RUC officers. "Suggestions that local officers are best placed

-Caveat Lector- From The Guardian (UK) Odd bedfellows, old slogans The French response: Loyalties lost in the shuffle. Paul Webster reports Monday April 12, 1999 A leftwing revolt against the Kosovo campaign has created some of the most unlikely political and intellectual alliances since the Algerian war while undermining Lionel Jospin's authority in the Socialist-led coalition. Feuding over French participation in Nato strategy, so far limited to eight bombs on Serbian targets, has wrecked long-standing human rights partnerships, pushed old enemies into joint action, broken up a moral consensus and revived a simplistic anti-Americanism reminiscent of the 1950s. Tensions caused by anti-war campaigns led by the interior minister, Jean-Pierre Chevenement, and stalwart Gaullists such as Charles Pasqua, have contributed to belligerent reactions by the prime minister and President Jacques Chirac, whose `cohabitation' has entered a honeymoon phase with joint daily pledges of their will to go on fighting. De facto political alliances are astonishing enough with the Communist leader, Robert Hue, finding himself in the anti-war lobby alongside the National Front chairman, Jean-Marie Le Pen, while the Greens' Daniel Cohn-Bendit, puts out much the same bellicose message as the Gaullist chairman, Philippe Seguin. But the moral disorder is even more eccentric, with writers like Regis Debray and impeccable human rights activists such as Pierre Vidal-Naquet fighting a pitched pacifist battle against a philosophical pro-war lobby led by Henri Bernard-Levy and Andre Glucksmann. The argument has also split families, with the writer Oliver Todd in the pro-war camp while his son, Emmanuel, backs a pacifist group that includes the author and former Socialist minister, Max Gallo. Although about 60 per cent of the electorate approve of French intervention, according to public opinion polls which also show overwhelming support for Mr Jospin and the president, the anti-war faction is bringing more and more opponents into the streets. Apart from the Communist Party, which has revived the 1950s atmosphere with slogans like `Nato go home', the anti-war faction includes the biggest Trotskyist movements, trade unions, teachers and human rights organisations like the movement against racism, MRAP. Among press support is the popular weekly, Marianne, whose editor, Jean-Francois Kahn, described Mr Chirac and Mr Jospin as `killers of the innocents'. While the war's opponents include a strong layer of what is known as the `moral left', the underlying rallying call is the anti-Americanism which led Mr Debray to stigmatise France's co-operation as sleepwalking behind American priorities. Apart from winning over allies such as Mr Chirac's former adviser, Marie-France Garaud, leftwing suspicion of US motives has rallied middle of the road figures, including the former United Nations protection force commander in the region, General Jean Cot. In juggling with the leftwing mutiny, Mr Jospin has so far avoided a showdown although cabinet meetings underline a chasm between the leading pros and antis. The health minister, Bernard Kouchner, is the architect of a policy known as `the right to interfere' to solve humanitarian crises even in sovereign states. The environment minister, Dominique Voynet, represents what has been described as the most strident pro-war voice, the Greens.Ranged against them are Communists, such as the transport minister, Jean-Claude Gayssot, and the sports minister, Marie-Georges Buffet, who have backed marches calling for Mr Jospin to go. But the most troublesome case is Mr Chevenement, who resigned as defence minister at the beginning of the Gulf war to set up his own splinter party, the Citizens' Movement. Because a ground war could force him to lead the pacifist faction out of Mr Jospin's government, every gesture he makes is being intently analysed. Allying the three strands of opposition political, moral and intellectual he gave the whole cabinet photocopies of an article by the German writer, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, which calls for an end to the `fantasy of omnipotent morality'. The war could be over before anyone decides what Mr Chevenement really meant by distributing a work condemning `global rhetoric', which, he said, reflected `my philosophical state of mind'. What the world's media say Monday April 12, 1999 Journal du Dimanche, Paris If this war decided by Europe had not taken place, nationalism would have won another victory, symbolising the end of a century it has drenched in blood. Those, who by gut anti-Americanism, respectable pacifism or blind pro-Serbianism . . . try to justify their opposition to Nato intervention also encourage the very serious threat of nationalism that could set the Balkans alight. Bild Am Sonntag, Germany When it comes to preventing genocide, the United Nations cannot issue the orders to Nato but has to seek refuge with Nato. Nato has
Re: [CTRL] About Kosovo
-Caveat Lector- I agree with every word you say; when Clinton places the wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier, is when I could see you you see in particular. When a soldier dies in battle, I cn see wht you seeand when the troops go to battle, it is David sending Uriah off to war, and today I seen more. A thirty year old friend of my son, who returned from the Persian Gulf died; he had the Gulf War illness, that our government refused to admit existed. He died, and his mother is left alone to wonder why. At long last, he did receive some type of a pension from the government. Was it an anthrax innoculation that killed him, or the episode with chemical warfare that never happened. I do not know if he ever received a medal, but Easter he sat at a table with my son - whom he liked very muchand today, he is dead. The only symptom, was occasionally he would tremble - but his death was unexpected and sudden. So much for a young man who never really had a choice but did have love for his country. William Jefferson Clinton is an evil man; he would do now to the Balkans, what England has done to Ireland for hundreds of yearswhile American turned her back. When I see him place the wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier, we see him for what he is - the Coward of his Country. We all love this country; but, it is Clinton who will live to be the most hated President in the history of this county, for he goes to war without just cause - and malice in his heart for the miliary.

[CTRL] Fwd: Historic Friendly Fire - The WW II Glenn Miller Case
http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/101/nation/Log_that_may_tell_of_Glenn_Miller _death_to_be_sold+.shtml Log that may tell of Glenn Miller death to be sold Jettisoned bombs may have hit plane By Mara D. Bellaby, Associated Press, 04/11/99 LONDON - A military logbook that sheds light on the disappearance of the American bandleader Glenn Miller in World War II will be up for auction next week, and will offer a chance to own a clue to one of aviation's most captivating puzzles. Miller, who created the 1940s big band sound, was en route to France to organize concerts for Allied troops when his plane disappeared over the English Channel on a foggy December day in 1944. No trace has ever been found of the single-engine aircraft, or of its passengers. Bad weather was viewed as the most likely cause, until the mid-1980s, when the flight log was produced. It suggests a more haunting theory: Miller's plane may have been blasted out of the sky by bombs jettisoned by a Royal Air Force squadron returning from an aborted raid on Germany. ''There are many theories ... and we'll never know for sure what happened. But this is certainly an intriguing possibility,'' said Stephen Maycock, an aeronautical specialist with Sotheby's, which is auctioning the logbook on Tuesday. The book, which belonged to the late Royal Air Force navigator Fred Shaw, will be sold with a letter from Britain's Ministry of Defense, bolstering the theory and a bundle of newspaper clippings and other materials. The items are expected to fetch $960 to $1,300. ''Glenn Miller is an extremely important character, and this is a fascinating story that has captured people's imaginations,'' said Rachel Aked, a Sotheby's spokeswoman. The trombonist's fans have spent decades trying to determine what happened to him on Dec. 15, 1944. It was not until the mid-1980s that Shaw dug out his logbook after going to see the film ''The Glenn Miller Story,'' which chronicles the life of the man who recorded such songs as ''In the Mood'' and ''Moonlight Serenade.'' In a single entry - ''Ops. Siegen Canceled. Jettison Southern Area'' - the logbook confirmed what Shaw had suspected: Miller's plane disappeared on the day that Shaw's squadron aborted a bombing raid on Siegen, Germany, and let loose their 4,000-pound bombs over the English Channel. The bombs, which had to be discarded before the bombers could safely land, exploded just above the water. Shaw remembered seeing a small plane spiraling out of control after the bombs were dropped. ''Around it, I could see the sea bubbling and blistering with the exploding bombs. As each bomb burst, I could see the blast wave from it radiating outwards It was obvious to me that airplane below was in trouble,'' he once said. ''Eventually, I saw it disappear into the English Channel.'' The downed plane was not reported, but Shaw's story was corroborated by other squadron members. And in 1985, Britain's Ministry of Defense wrote a letter to Shaw conceding his theory ''is certainly possible.'' ''In retrospect, we now lean towards this being the most likely solution to the `mystery,''' the department concluded.

NATO's Easter Bombs Kill 11-month Baby, Father; Pregnant Mother Badly Wounded PRISTINA, Apr. 11 - For some Serbs, the Orthodox Christian Easter Sunday was anything but happy. Three civilians, including an 11-month old baby and her father were killed in their home during NATO's nighttime bombing of the village Mirovac, near Podujevo in Kosovo, the Pristina Media Center reported today. The baby's pregnant mother, Marija Tosovic, was badly injured. Dead are Bozin Tosovic (30) and his daughter Bojana. Also killed was Dragan Dubalo (41) from Podujevo. -- 2. Kragujevac Factory Hit: I've Been Drafted (From a BG diary) BELGRADE, Apr. 9 - Last week, we've told you about, and put a link at our Web site to, a moving diary of a Belgrade 21-year old, Vojislav Stojkovic, titled "Under the Gun." On Orthodox Good Friday, Apr. 9, his diary read: "Today I found out that NATO attacked the factory in Kragujevac, while the workers were inside. Those people decided to guard the factory with their lives, hoping that NATO wouldn't bomb it if the civilians were inside. They were wrong. For that mistake a terrible price was paid: nobody died, but 124 were severely injured. I've seen in my life people without one leg or one arm. I've seen the blind, the deformed and the victims of fire. But I can't imagine more than one hundred in the same time, in the same place. The most revolting piece of the puzzle is the fact that NATO knew very well that the factory was full of civilians. They didn't care. NATO also knows that the Branko's bridge is crowded with people 'protecting' it (as human shields). Civilians. Ordinary people, just like me. Will NATO bomb them? I received a draft call today. It's an ugly little post-card-like piece of paper saying that I have to report on April 15th. I assume that it's a routine check, because I didn't go through any training yet, and so they can't mobilize me yet. And they also can't send me to training yet, because I'm a student. So I'm quite safe for now. Or at least I hope so." --- 3. American, Not Only Russian, Volunteers for Serbia? PHOENIX, Apr. 11 - We've all heard about the 60,000+ Russian volunteers who have signed up to fight for Serbia against NATO, including some 5,000 Cossacks, the imperial Russia's fiercest warriors. "Here on the bridge are the Russian Cossacks, the Russian officers, the Russian generals," said one among the many Cossacks displaying a colorful array of Tsarist uniforms, traditional sheep skin hats and impressive waxed mustaches, who joined yesterday the Serbian "human shield" crowd, gathered for yet another night on the Brankov bridge across the river Sava in Belgrade. But now, the Serbs and the Russian freedom fighters are not alone. Some proud American veterans are also coming forth, offering to fight as volunteers. Capt. Richard Davidson, a retired US Navy pilot with a distinguished military career, is one of them. He wrote to us today (and to other former U.S. military veterans, like Col. David Hackworth) urging a formation of volunteer American troops to fight NATO. "It would be a kick in the pants to O.J. Clinton if a volunteer force of Americans could be organized for the same purpose (as the Russian volunteers)," Capt. Davidson said. "I'm sure there are many out there who feel as I do. But how many would actually put their butt on the line is, of course, unknown. What we are doing in Serbia is insane. But then again, we have a leader of the Free World who is insane. I just had my 71st birthday, and my fighting days are behind me. (But) a volunteer force is worth considering. There would be many ramifications, but maybe somewhere out there is someone who could make such a force a reality." --- 4. No Oath to Obey Orders! PHOENIX, Apr. 11 - We also received today the following comment from Mr. Jeff Elias Dorrance, a former US Army soldier: "This is the very first time in American history that the United States of America has ever unleashed a major military attack against another
