-Caveat Lector- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ### PASTOR CLAIMS BELT RIGHTS. The Massachusetts Supreme Court will decide whether a minister has the right to spank his son with a leather belt. The Rev. Donald Cobble Jr. claims the corporal punishment is sanctioned by the Bible, and the government has no right to interfere by alleging the use of the belt amounts to child abuse. Cobble was charged with abuse two years ago after his preteen son, Judah, pleaded with a teacher not to send a note home to his father because it would result in punishment with a belt. The teacher instead notified the state Department of Social Services, and an investi- gating social worker concluded the use of the belt amounted to abuse. ### : Does your religion prescribe/proscribe physical punishment? Does beating your kids do any good? There are 2 issues raised here 1- the question of who decides the morality of society and the place of the family. Since the essential part of the conspiracy has been to create hegels divine state, I wont argue that one further. The second issue what are the actual empirical answers surrounding spanking The following is taken mostly from Herrenstein and wilsons ..crime and human nature. Essentially there are 2 modes of brining up children. Warmth and discipline---they are independent and not interelated Warmth defined as meeting the emotional and physical needs of the child needs as and when required. Discipline meeaning consistent rewards and punishments to promote certain behaviours. (arbitary beatings are not discipline) Children brought up with warmth and disciline are well adjsuted good citizens with a tendency to conformity with warmth bot no discipline good natured egotists. with discipline but no love- rebels/ subservient..the angry young man without discipline nor warmth- delinquents and thugs The degree to which people turn violent in later years is curvilinear(U shaped) with those with no discipline or with 'extreme' discipline becoming most violent. Why if this is the science do most media promoted social scientists advocate that spanking be banned..well they are actually socialists and not scientists.

Right before Korea, the Joint Chief of Staff worked on "how to absorb the colored race"now who's bright idea was thatneedless to say, without a doubt, as Wallace witnessedthey had federal troops in the wings, because after this experiment, just as in the Civil War, they recognized the fact that whites would rebel, and not only that, blacks would rebel. So we had Martin Luther King - peaceful working towards Civil Rights just like the Civil War.but what were these people really after? Well, they were hoping for a Civil War to send in troops and the Blacks thought they would be the victims. Soldiers need war.that is, the ones out of West Point - say for instance Sherman, who drove from Atlanta to the sea, only he was the butcher long remembered in the South. My name is legionwell, the south lost that barbaric battle - but still maintained its spirit and never gave into the likes of Sherman. Now today - NATO...NATO is comprised of military, right? They are soldiers, but they cannot fight without an order if our interests involvedlike the attack on Pearl Harbor...Roosevelt had an excuse then to go to war, to save the world.no wonder JFK took the title of his book from the last chapter of MatthewWhile England SleptJFK tried to get the troops out of Viet Nam and you saw what happened to him.

NATO should have been disbanded years ago.

[CTRL] Swiss Ban GM Plants
-Caveat Lector- GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS, PLANTING BANNED - SWITZERLAND ** A ProMED-mail post http://www.healthnet.org/programs/promed.html Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 13:38:01 -0400 Source: News media, 16 Apr 1999 (edited) Switzerland Friday prohibited the release into the environment of genetically modified maize and potatoes -- the first official ruling on the controversial issue of planting genetically modified organisms. The ruling does not affect imports of genetically altered products for use in food and fodder. BUWAL, the federal environment office, said it had turned down a request by Pluess-Staufer AG to test T25 maize as well as a petition by the federal research institute RAC to test transgenic potatoes. It cited health and environmental concerns. The decision can be appealed within 30 days. Hans Hosbach, head of BUWAL's biotechnology and flux of substances section, said the decision made non-EU Switzerland a unique island within Europe, where most states including neighboring Germany and Italy permit growing genetically modified crops. BUWAL said it turned down the maize request due to concerns over inadvertent pollination. It rejected the other tests out of concern the genetically modified potatoes contained genes which could make some bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics. "We are setting extremely high standards from the start. The two requests did not meet those standards," Hosbach said. The BUWAL statement said the ruling also sought to protect the image of Swiss products. "Swiss agriculture lives on our products' reputation for being pure and close to nature. Such gene technology experiments affect this image. This can have a far-reaching impact on our agricultural sector," the statement said. While the ruling only covers the two specific cases for maize and potatoes, it does set a certain precedent, BUWAL spokesman Rolf Wespe said. "To some extent the case sends a signal, but the matter has to be decided on a case-by-case basis," he said. T25 is made by a joint venture of Germany's Hoechst AG and Schering. Officials at the companies were unavailable for comment. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] Y2K: Gun Buying Boom
-Caveat Lector- Anti Self Defense zealots face extreme frustration.Schumer, Feinstein and Brady demand "3 day waiting period" before the year 2000 calendars can be sold. flw The Y2KNEWSWIRE.COM Daily Report With the Year 2000 rollover barely eight months away, firearm sales are at record levels. Across the country, dealers and manufacturers all point to a common reason: Y2K. "We've quadrupled our [civilian] sales compared to last year," said Tom Spithaler, sales associate at Olympic Arms -- a manufacturer of both civilian and military firearms. From Colt to Mossberg, sales are reaching record levels that almost no one anticipated. Where backlogs didn't exist last year, they're now months long. Customers are having a difficult time ordering what they want, and the shortage is also hurting efforts of police departments to buy needed firearms. With three groups getting armed this year: law enforcement, civilians and the military, one question screams out: why? LAW ENFORCEMENT GETTING ARMED It's true: police departments around the country are getting armed this year. While few would directly state this is due to Year 2000 concerns, the timing is difficult to overlook. After all, Virgin Airways now says they'll ground their planes on December 31, but it isn't Y2K-related in any way. Just coincidence, they say. Richard Branson, the chairman of Virgin, tried to explain it like this: "...both passengers and staff are telling us that they would like the opportunity to fly to be with friends and family, but that they want to celebrate the day itself in peace." Huh? Nevertheless, police departments are getting armed because of Y2K. At least that's what we're being told by active law enforcement officials who contacted Y2KNEWSWIRE through the "tips" e-mail address. Here are the reasons why: Reason #1: They anticipate disorder. Law enforcement officials are under-paid and over-worked. They'll also be stretched thin if things get out of hand during Y2K. Police officers are telling us they anticipate public parties getting out of hand, requiring the use of force. But that's not the biggest worry... Reason #2: The power might go out. Most law enforcement officials probably agree with Y2KNEWSWIRE: the whole country won't go black. But power will indeed be disrupted in some areas. Police officers are concerned about what might happen if power is lost in a major city where crowds are partying in the streets. To prevent these situations from getting out of control, they may have to resort to force. Reason #3: Opportunism. Criminals are waiting for the lights to go out during Y2K. Why? If 911 doesn't work and the power is out, Y2K becomes a free-for-all for looters and thieves. Just look at the events following the Rodney King verdict in L.A. a few years back. Police officers are extremely concerned that would-be criminals are just waiting to "test the system" during the Y2K rollover. These are the main reasons police departments are getting armed. The money isn't all being spent on guns, either. Sales of pepper spray are up, too. Pepper spray is most often used for crowd control, by the way. We'd also bet that sales of plastic handcuffs are up, although we have no numbers on this. MILITARY GETTING ARMED The military is purchasing record numbers of firearms this year, too. We attempted to get actual numbers from Colt, the most popular manufacturer of military rifles in this country, but were unable to receive numbers in time for this writing. Rumors are circulating that the military has pre-empted all civilian rifle orders from Colt, but we could not confirm this. In any case, there is already a backlog on new rifles, civilian or otherwise. We did, however, confirm an increase in the military's purchase of urban-assault training rifles from another firearms manufacturer. These military training rifles are being shipped to Fort Benning, Georgia, where they are used to help train military special forces such as Delta, Ranger, SEAL, and other SpecOps forces. These "urban assault" weapons are configured for building-to-building fighting: collapsible stocks, fully-automatic fire, smaller calibers (such as 9mm), and so on. Essentially: SWAT guns. Of course, with the war in Kosovo going on, the military has a potential justification for an increase in firearms purchases. But why the increase in urban assault rifles? Are military leaders planning a ground assault that engages U.S. forces in block-by-block city warfare? Or is the military simply updating its armament to more modern configurations? Many Y2K theorists have supposed that the military is actually gearing up for action in the United States in some way. We can only see two realistic possibilities here: Possibility #1: Military help in breaking up riots. If law enforcement can't handle outbreaks of violence (see above), the military may be called in to help. Since you only have riots in cities, the urban firearms makes sense here. After all, you can't

[CTRL] White Wolves manifesto of hate

Their presence spells the death of our people, so if they must be forced out with extreme violence, then so be it. "The desired effect can be had by stabbing a solitary Pakistani picked randomly (the more randomly the better) in an Asian area. The chances of being caught are remote, as it is a motiveless attack with no connection between the attacker and the victim. But the repercussions would be great once the White Wolves claim responsibility." So begins the 15-page manifesto of the neo-Nazi White Wolves, the Combat 18 splinter group that on Friday night exploded its third bomb in as many weeks in the capital. This time it targeted the gay community, which it describes as "part of a culture we wish to destroy". Yesterday, as the grim final toll of the explosion at the Admiral Duncan in Soho, central London, stood at three dead and 64 injured, a Telegraph investigation into the mindset of this small but tightly-knit band has revealed a highly dangerous, highly motivated Right-wing organisation that has spent the years since its inception in 1995 laying the ground work for a sustained bombing campaign against minorities. Its manifesto, uncovered by an infiltrator of the group who handed it to anti-race activist, explains in chilling clarity how to fund attacks, avoid detection, destroy forensics and select targets. It urges its followers to gain military training through the Territorial Army or other volunteer army units, and culls interrogation advice from Irish paramilitary groups such as the IRA and UDA. Its weaponry may, at present, be crude and unsophisticated - though devastatingly effective - but its hate-filled manifesto warns that as its commandos become more "experienced" so, too, will its arsenal increase. Prospective members are told to arm themselves with bombs and bullets and told: "A suitcase bomb at the Notting Hill Carnival would certainly upset the blacks - of course, as White Wolf cells become more experienced, some will develop more advanced capabilities and get heavier weaponry." The rules for use will remain the same: "Anything which stirs the racial pot is justified." Acutely aware of the IRA's success in the use of a small cell structure, which is difficult to infiltrate and nigh on impossible to detect, it advises members to adopt the same strategy. "If you are a member of an established nationalist party, stay with it," it advises. "A sudden exodus of a group of keen members prior to WW activities will be a dead giveaway. If your cell operates properly and uses its head, it will do immense damage and function for a long time. "Keep the cell small. Five is maximum: two to watch, two to carry out the action, one to stay with the car if you use one." Every detail has been thought of. If you use a car, it warns its members, pay cash for petrol, because credit card receipts can be used to trace your movements. No opportunity must be missed, it stresses, to gain new weapons skills. "Every cell leader should be on the lookout for chances to learn new skills which would help with the struggle. The Territorial Army is an obvious one but look for others," it urges. A month ago The Telegraph exclusively revealed how a year-long inquiry into neo-Nazi infiltration of the Army had resulted in several arrests. Two serving soldiers and one ex-soldier were arrested on suspicion of using their military expertise to offer weapons training to neo-fascist organisations, including Combat 18. During the inquiry, carried out by MI5, Special Branch and military police, racist literature, computer disks, knives and ammunition were seized. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=000252141601804rtmo=wstfAeebatmo= pg=/et/99/3/7/narm107.html At the time, one senior defence official said that, in addition to the soldiers, a further dozen men in Regular and TA units were
[CTRL] WTO stalled on picking new leader
-Caveat Lector- By CLARE NULLIS GENEVA (May 2, 1999 3:15 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - The World Trade Organization faced Sunday the prospect of a damaging leadership vacuum that could undermine its authority in global trade disputes. Efforts to appoint a new director-general ended in total deadlock after more than 12 hours of weekend meetings that degenerated into bad-tempered clashes between supporters of former New Zealand Premier Mike Moore and Thai Deputy Prime Minister Supachai Panitchpakdi. Ali Mchumo, chairman of the 134-nation WTO council, reconvened a meeting of the decision-making body for Monday in hopes of finding a solution. But prospects looked grim, with Asian and some African nations standing firm behind Supachai - seen as the candidate of the developing world - and the United States insisting on Moore. WTO spokesman Keith Rockwell described the atmosphere at Saturday's session as "testy, tense and not terribly pleasant." The impasse and growing North-South split led to fears that a time-consuming hunt for a new leader might have to begin again from scratch despite the impressive track record of both current candidates. Italy's Renato Ruggiero stepped down as scheduled on Friday after a four-year term in office, taking the WTO's deputy directors with him. Rockwell said the WTO could continue to function without a leader, although it might pose some problems for the work of panels set up to adjudicate trade disputes. If parties involved in the trade rows can't agree on the composition of the three-member panels, the rules say that the director-general must name the members. The Geneva-based body faces an upsurge in disputes following the U.S. announcement Friday that it will file complaints to the WTO against Europe, India, South Korea, Canada and Argentina for a variety of alleged unfair trade practices. Moreover, the WTO needs a leader with global clout as it prepares for a November ministerial conference in Seattle, meant to set the trade agenda for the 21st century and usher in new agreements to liberalize global commerce. Even if there is agreement Monday on either Moore or Supachai, the successful candidate would face an uphill struggle in winning over all WTO members given the depth of bitterness. WTO council chairman Mchumo, a Tanzanian diplomat, proposed on Friday that Moore be approved by consensus since he had the support of 62 nations, three more than Supachai. However, Japan, Malaysia, India and other Asian nations demanded a vote. That ran counter to the WTO's time-honored rule that all decisions be reached by consensus. Asian countries and their allies are particularly angry that the Thai candidate held a clear lead for months while the United States and Europe sat on the fence. Only when Washington opted in favor of Moore did the New Zealander begin to gain ground. -- -- -- -- Global | Nation | Sports | Politics | Opinions | Business | Techserver | Health Science | Entertainment | Weather | Baseball | Basketball | Football | Hockey | Sport Server | MAIN -- -- Copyright © 1999 Nando Media Do you have some feedback for the Nando Times staff?

[CTRL] Western Christian group apologizes for Crusades
-Caveat Lector- By DINA KRAFT JERUSALEM (May 2, 1999 12:08 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Nine centuries after Christian Europe sought to redeem the Holy Land, a group of Western Christians is asking forgiveness for the slaughter and destruction left in the Crusaders' wake. Bearing printed apologies in Arabic, Hebrew and English, participants in the "Reconciliation March" said Sunday they planned to hand the neatly bound plastic folders to Jews, Muslims, and Eastern Christians whose forefathers were killed during the invasion. About 50 members of the interdenominational project from the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand are meeting Israelis and Palestinians in cities throughout the region. "Exactly 900 years ago, Christians visited this land with a sword and a spirit of vengeance in a manner contrary to teachings and character of Jesus," said Mike Niebur, the group's Israel coordinator. Group members, who pay their own expenses, have visited Jewish communities along the Rhine Valley and towns in Lebanon and Turkey in their search for forgiveness. Crusaders marching through the Rhine Valley slaughtered Jews who refused to convert to Christianity and left a similar wake of destruction in Eastern Orthodox and Muslim centers along the way. The Crusaders were urged forward by Roman Catholic leaders longing for the jewel of Jerusalem - and seeking to consolidate recent political gains in Europe. Organizers at the press conference displayed T-shirts depicting the march of the original crusaders as a jagged red line cutting through the heart of Europe and the Middle East. The group's trip will culminate on July 15 when up to 1,500 participants travel by foot from a Crusader fortress in northern Israel to Jerusalem to apologize to religious leaders on the 900th anniversary of the fall of the city to the Crusaders. Niebur said that the imprint of distrust and violence perpetuated by the memory of the Crusades can be traced through the Spanish Inquisition and even the Holocaust. "We hope we will start to end that legacy and start on a new track," said Niebur, a native of San Francisco. Members of the group said they see a direct link between the Crusades and the relationship between the East and West today. Niebur cited apocalyptic Christian groups who have unsettled Jews and Arabs in the region, and said such apocalyptic outlooks mirror those of the Crusaders. "We have a similar situation developing today with the turn of the millennium," he said. "We want to say that that was not really what Jesus' message was about." In January, Israel expelled a group of U.S. millennialists authorities believed were planning violent acts in Jerusalem to hasten the Second Coming. Niebur said the reception has been positive. He recalled a phone call to a Jewish community in the Rhine Valley. An organizer told the community leaders that the marchers were running a little late. "The Jewish community responded, 'We've waited 900 years, we can wait one more hour,'" he said. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] New Ebola epidemic
-Caveat Lector- Monday, May 3, 1999 Published at 00:11 GMT 01:11 UK New Ebola epidemic New Ebola epidemic A new epidemic of the deadly Ebola virus has appeared in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and is threatening to enter Sudan. World Health Organisation figures say 50 people have died in the latest outbreak of the disease, which is fatal in up to 90% of cases. Congolese Health Minister Mashako Mamba announced on Friday that the DRC was confronted by an epidemic. There are reports that the virus is spreading towards Sudan, after beginning in the rebel-held north-east of the DR Congo. Sudan threat A spokesman for a South African-based medical information service said the disease had been reported within 50km of the Sudanese border. "In this situation, that is very little. There is a very real danger of it spreading to Sudan," he said. The Ebola virus is named after a river in north-western Congo, where the disease was first identified in 1976. A second epidemic in 1995 caused 245 deaths. Highly infectious No vaccine has been developed for the virus, and researchers have not pinpointed its origins. The highly infectious virus kills between 50% and 90% of people who become infected, according to the WHO. The disease is characterised by internal and external bleeding, and kidney and liver failure. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Watching NATO bombings and their attack on electric system I need an answer again from an expert; something happened that really has me wondering in my daughter's home. They have a satellite system - just the small diskand Prime Star. On this huge entertainment center they have the box, and an inside antenna to pick up local stations. Also, is a modern halogen lite = the little minatures that look like lites used in or on a desk - long stem, etc. If you touch this antenna to th stem of the hallogen lite - the lite lights up.and there is an erie charge of lite about where the lamp and antenna touches. Now supposedly, it won't hurt anything I was toldhowever, the charge I was told wasn't big enough. What is causing this..also ARCO that set up the weather modification program stuffthe reason the War Deprtment tried to stop the patent being published as to what Eastland was doing, was because it tied into our RADAR systems. NOw I am not sure what I am saying here myself, but someone that knows about this stuff will understandthe little TV attentennaif it can make a halogen lite light up, and then turn it off by breaking the connection (just touching the antenna to the rod of the lamp)..is this some kind of a system hooked up to satellites which Prime Star is - is this some kind of a system that will be able to turn on electrical systems and turn them off at will.remember the power outages many years ago - and the big New York blackout, etc., and also all these other things..somehow, this antenna hooked up to prime star, (and I have not touched it yet, and want them to get rid of it)well, as they say "What the hell is goiing on here" Colleen Now please make it simple in simple talk - as I am stille reading Einstein Theory on Relativity Made Simple for dum folks, and I bought that 25 page story 15 years ago.

FROM WASHINGTON, DC The Special Truth in Media Global Watch Bulletins on NATO's war on Serbia, such as the one enclosed below, can also be accessed at our Web site: www.truthinmedia.org which is being updated throughout the day. Issue S99-62, Day 40, Update 1 --- May 2, 1999; 2:30PM EDT HEADLINES Pristina 1. NATO Bombs a Bus, Dozens of Civilians, Many Children Die Ramstein 2. Washington Discounts Belgrade's Goodwill Gesture, Vows to Intensify Bombing Despite Release of Three POWs Washington 3. Seventeen Congressmen Sue Clinton Over His Illegal War on Serbia Washington 4. House Votes 427-2 Against Declaration of War Washington 5. A Washington Times Article, Photo, About "March on Washington'99" Protest -- 1. NATO Missile Hits a Bus, Dozens of Civilians Die BELGRADE, May 1 - A NATO missile struck a civilian bus on Saturday (May 1) on a bridge 12 miles north of Kosovo's capital, Pristina, killing several dozen people, including many children. A rescue worker on the scene, who refused to give his name, claimed he had counted 39 bodies, the Associated Press reported. TiM's other sources in Serbia said the bus had over 60 passengers on board when it was bombed. "I was in my garden working when I heard the sound of a plane flying," Rajko Maksic, a Serb farmer, told the Associated Press. "I turned towards the sound. I saw a bus on the road and suddenly it exploded. I heard screams and I came to look." The attack occurred in the village of Luzane at about 1 p.m. local time, cutting the vehicle in two and sending part of it plunging off the bridge, which was damaged but not destroyed. About an hour later, the bridge came under attack again. An emergency services doctor was injured, the Tanjug news wire said. Independent journalists on the scene saw about 15 bodies trapped in the charred remnants of the part of the bus which fell off the bridge. Most have been burned beyond recognition and were horribly mangled from the blast. The portion of the bus that remained on the bridge was still burning more than an hour after the attack. --- TiM Ed.: Another mass murder of civilians; another charge for the NATO war crimes file. In this case, add PREMEDITATED to the mass murder count, considering NATO's second bombing, an hour later, while the bus was still burning on the bridge. - 2. Washington Discounts Belgrade's Goodwill Gesture, Vows to Intensify Bombing Despite Release of Three POWs RAMSTEIN, May 2 - Brushing aside the pleas from Jesse Jackson, and some Republican leaders for a pause in the bombing of Serbia, in the wake of Belgrade's goodwill gesture - the release of the three American POWs - the U.S. Secretary of Defense vowed that, "we are not only not going to stop bombing - we're going to intensify the bombing." Cohen made this remark on NBC's "Meet the Press" program. --- TiM Ed.: Anyone still unconvinced that we're dealing with certifiable lunatics here? --- Meanwhile, Jackson, who accompanied the three U.S. soldiers on their flight to the U.S. air base at Ramstein, Germany, urged a pause in air strikes in favor of further diplomacy. "That would be a courteous response to freeing the prisoners of war," Jackson said, according to a May 2 Bloomberg news wire report. U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Trent Lott, echoed Jackson's sentiments. Lott said that NATO "should seize the moment." --- TiM Ed.: It should, of course. As it should have long ago, if the NATO leaders had an iota of compassion or common sense. With this kind of a response to Belgrade's goodwill gesture, Bill Clinton and all other NATO leaders have just proven to the world that they are only after blood and power. Until the last surviving Serb is in a prone position, bowing to the Evil Empire's New World Order. Which will never happen. So a reasonable response by intelligent Americans ought be to find out where the nearest nuclear shelter is. As for the Serbs, both Washington and Brussels have now made it abundantly clear that this WAR IS ABOUT EXTERMINATION OF SERBIAN ORTHODOX CIVILIANS. Period. So the Serb leaders had better take that into account before making any more "goodwill gestures" to the bloodthirsty mass murderers. And the Serbs should adopt the same attitude with regard to Victor Chernomyrdin. He is a Boris Yeltsin NWO retread who gave up Chechnya to the Muslim rebels, and whom the Russian president has now thrown into the Yugoslav cauldron to see if he could pull the wool over the Serb eyes, too. The Serbs only need to ask themselves the following question, before sending Chernomyrdin packing all the way back to his NWO quisling boss in Moscow: "Can any friend of Al Gore's be a friend of Serbia?" - 3.

[CTRL] WORLD WAR III and the witch hunt on alternative medicine
-Caveat Lector- from: http://user.tninet.se/~gbl020q/world_war.htm A HREF="http://user.tninet.se/~gbl020q/world_war.htm"world_war/A - WORLD WAR III and the witch hunt on alternative medicine (Updated May 2 1999) In the mid 1970's President James E. Carter signed a Rockefeller document called the "Global 2000 Report". The basic intent of this report is to reduce the American population to 10% current level and the CFR's [Council on Foreign Relations] insider newsletter has expressed it's intents to help that process along in the USA to about 45% current population levels. The agenda is very much on its way through immune-whacking vaccines they injected in us when we were children. The media feed us constantly with threats of a World War III, but they don't tell us that WW III has already started. People in general are waiting for the big war - meaning the Big Bang, but that's not the way it is happening for the moment. The Third World War is foremost a quiet war with no classic weapons, but nevertheless it is not less devastating. This is a war of silent mind control and the implanting of viruses and other lethal diseases upon the population, mostly with the help from vaccines, which are not containing what they should contain. This is the way AIDS was implanted upon us, as an example. AIDS was spread upon the blacks and homosexuals (useless eaters, as they call them), through the hepatitis B vaccines laced with live AIDS virus. It was implanted by the UN's World Health Organization, and this is where the AIDS disease exploded from. Horrible enough, the power elite defense establishment has initiated the genocide of millions of Americans with the contamination of polio vaccines that has seeded the entire baby boom generation with cancer viruses. As age takes its toll and our immune systems can no longer keep there laboratory-created viruses in check, these "biological time bombs" are now activating with one out of three "boomers" getting cancer. Indeed, one of the first things President Clinton did after the election was to follow the direct orders from David Rockefeller, to take over (socialize) 1/5 of the economy - the health care system - that the Rockefeller's oligarchy monopolizes. Deep studies show that 97,5% of what we call "health care" is in fact disease care, as we shall see. From the cradle to the grave, population control is waged on the American public through mass media mind control; food and drug adds chemical-laced so called food, which will make you become seriously ill much faster. So let's take a deeper look into all this by tracing history. Early this Century, Rockefeller and Carnegie created a medical monopoly by financing 1640 medical schools with pharmacology, leading to the "ethical" drug pushing that has been in practice ever since because these families owned or indirectly controlled most of the drug companies. John D. Rockefeller also financed legislation that vitally destroyed the dominance of natural cure modalities such as naturopathy (herbs) and homeopathy. Later he merged his cartel of monopolies in numerous fields (oil, chemicals, drugs, banking and communications) with the IG Farben cartel of monopolies in Europe that brought Hitler to power. IG Farben, by the way, split up in three cover organizations here in the west after the war, namely Bayer, Hoechst and BASF. But it was still IG Farben working undercover. Recently it became known that IG Farben actually had continued its existence AFTER WW II in East Germany UNDER THE SAME NAME. Now, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Helmut Kohl and other members of the Elite want to re-introduce IG Farben in Germany once again and forbid Alternative Medicine and vitamins. In the dark ages we had the witches (mostly females), who were burnt at the stake for practicing alternative treatment in form of herbs and old wisdom. Today the "witches" still exist, but now they call themselves homeopaths, naturopaths and practitioners of alternative medicine. Yet they are still as hunted as they were in the Dark Ages. Why? Because in these areas the real cures can be found. If you think like Rockefeller you realize that these "witches" are some of his worst enemies, because they halt the genocide of the world population. By giving us poisoned vaccines and vaccines that will decrease our immune system, people get sick and die before their time. And when people get sick, they go to the doctor, who gives them chemical drugs from the Rockefeller-owned drug companies, which will eventually hammer the last nail into the coffin. With this in mind, one can clearly understand why alternative and natural medicine is ridiculed, legislated against and haunted wherever it shows up. A "funny" thing though is, that while old John D. Rockefeller was actively destroying nature-based medicine in America and setting up Hitler to enforce his IG Farben cartel agreements throughout Europe, he himself had a naturopathic and homeopathic doctor

Re: Bonnie Prince Charlie Author: Donald G Stephenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 1999/03/19 Forum: soc.org.freemasonry In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], DaveTarot [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Was Bonnie Prince Charlie a Free-Mason? I have been told that he was. I've seen no proof positive of it. About 2 years ago, a brother from Scotland posted something about Prince Charlies sinature on the tiler's register shorytly before the battle that ended it all. Never heard any more than that, David roller Mosaic 218 FAM Livermore Ca Jacobite Freemasonry "The esoteric element was more prominent in the 'Red' Masonry than in the 'Blue'. But Red or Scottish Masonry can also be seen as a return to more traditional ideas of hierarchy and social orderBut the Scottish higher degrees meant the implied rejection of at least a part of the ideal of egalitarianism. The higher grades involved the subordination of the lower, and also the ignorance on the part of the lower grades of the wisdom enjoyed by the higher." - Peter Partner, The Murdered Magicians "To affect their pro-Stuart political aims, the Scottish lodges changed the Biblical symbolism of the third Blue Degree into political symbolism to represent the House of Stuart. Ramsey's 'higher' degrees contained additional symbolism 'revealing' why Freemasons had a duty to help the Stuarts against the throne of England. Because of this, many people viewed Scottish Freemasonry as a clever attempt to lure freemasons away from the Mother Grand Lodge system which supported the Hanoverian monarchy and turn the new converts into pro-Stuart Masons. "The Stuarts themselves joined Ramsey's organization. James III adopted the Templar title 'Chevalier St. George'. His son, Charles Edward, was initiated into the Order of Knights Templar on Setember 24, 1745, the same year in which he led a major Jacobite invasion of Scotland. Two years later, on April 15, 1747, Charles Edward established a masonic 'Scottish Jacobite Chapter' in the French city of Arras." - William Bramley, The Gods of Eden "We, Charles Edward, King of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland, and as such Substitute Grand Master of the Chapter of H., known by the title of Knight of the Eagle and Pelican..." - Arras Lodge Charter During their stay in France in 1745, the "Young Pretender" Bonnie Prince Charlie and other Stuarts "had become deeply involved in the dissemination of Freemasonry. Indeed they are generally regarded as the source of the particular form of Freemasonry known as 'Scottish Rite'. 'Scottish Rite' Freemasonry introduced higher degrees than those offered by other Masonic systems at the time. It promised initiation into greater and more profound mysteries - mysteries supposedly preserved and handed down in Scotland. It established more direct connections between Freemasonry and the various activities - alchemy, Cabalism and Hermetic thought, for instance - which were regarded as 'Rosecrucian'. And it elaborated not only on the antiquity but also on the illustrious pedigree of the 'craft'." "...It did not, like many rites of Freemasonry, consist primarily of free-thinkers and atheists. On the contrary, it seems to have been deeply religious and magically oriented - emphasizing a sacred social and political hierarchy, a divine order, an underlying cosmic plan. And the upper grades or degrees of this Freemasonry, according to M. Chaumeil [Le Tresor du triangle d'or] were the lower grades or degrees of the Prieure de Sion." - Baigent, Leigh Lincoln, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail "In the aftermath of the 1745 rebellion, Jacobite Freemasonry as such, with its specific political orientation and allegiance to the Stuart bloodline, effectively died out. Variations of it, however, purged of political content and tempered by the moderation of the Grand Lodge of England, survived. They survived in part through the so-called 'higher' degrees' offered by such institutions as Irish Grand Lodge. Most important, however, they survived within the Strict Observance promulgated by Hund - of which the highest degree was that of 'Knight Templar'. The Strict Observance was to spread throughout Europe." - Baigent Leigh, The Temple and the Lodge Hope this info. Is of some use to you.

[CTRL] Fwd: The Kennedy Illuminati Family
Author: Seven of Nine [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 1999/03/23 Forum: alt.freemasonry CONTINUATION IN THE SERIES OF ARTICLES ON THE TOP 13 ILLUMINATI FAMILIES -- THE KENNEDY FAMILY (This article is only the first part on the Kennedys) To be a researcher and to be informed that the Kennedy family is a top 13 llluminati family is akin to being told a needle is in a haystack. Someone has estimated that there are 200,000 Kennedys in the United States.1 And on a list of the most populous surnames of Ireland in 1890 Kennedy ranked 17th.2 And a recent book listed it as 16th most common today. Fortunately, there is information that allows me to identify as least part of the Satanic Kennedies from all the rest of the Kennedys. You will learn some of this later in the article. KENNEDY TIES TO OTHER ELITE FAMILIES Again the ties between various Illuminati families is very involved, and a long unraveling process, similar to untieing a set of bad knots confronts the researcher. The Kennedy family abounds with marriages to names such as Anketells, Baileys, Booths, Buckleys, Collins, Hatfields, Humphreys, Freemans, James, Phelps, Reagans, Russells, and Smiths.3 The Kennedys that we will look closest at are related to the Fitzpatricks, a powerful Irish family whose coat of arms has 3 fleur-de-lis with a dragon and a lion. (The Fitzpatricks may tie back to France, and they may possibly part of the Sang Royal (Sangraal--Sang Raal is the term used in the older manuscripts which can mean both Royal bloodline or Holy Grail.) Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis who married John F. Kennedy was tied to the Auchinclosses via her sisters marriage into the Auchincloss family. The Auchinclosses are Scottish bloodline of the [Iluminati. One can fairly hear the woof and tweet of history whistle through the names of the ramified Auchincloss tribe: Bunt, Grosvenor, Rockefeller, Saltonstall, Tiffany, Vanderbilt and Winthrop among others.5 For instance, Hugh D. Auchincloss, Sr. married Emma Brewster Jennings, daughter of Oliver B. Jennings, who co-founded Standard Oil with John D. Rockefeller. As for the numerous Kennedy intermarriages with notable names, for instance, Bernet Shafer Kennedy (1798-1878) married Phebe Freeman in 1820.6 But then the question arises--were either of these people secretly part of the occult? Andrew Kennedy married Margaret (Penny) Hatfield (1824-1989). The Andrew Kennedy family is allied with the Hatfield, Bailey, Collins, and Mullins families.8 Again a person is confronted with a great deal of clues, but precious little time and resources to try following up the numerous leads. ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE KENNEDYS 9 (See footnote 9 for the reference to consult concerning this entire section.) There are several versions of how the Kennedys got started, but when one goes in and examines things, what turns out is that the origins of the Kennedys is Ireland are very clear. They are descendants of Brian Born (also known as Brian Caeneddi) and his nephew who spelled it Cinneide. The name thereafter was OKennedy. They originally were a Dalcassion sept, and were in the area near Killahoe, and Killokennedy parish is a reminder of that ancient fact. The OBriens and MacNamaras forced them into new territories where they became the Lords of Ormond--what is now north Tipperary. Most Kennedys in Ireland today are still found in that area. The Kennedys remained powerful into the 16th century. The Kennedy family divided up into 3 branches: 1. Don (brown) 2. Fionn (fair) 3. Rua (red) THE SCOTTISH KENNEDYS Around 1600 a Scottish branch of the Kennedys appeared. There are several stories as to how they got their name Kennedy, and it is possible that they were not from Ireland. However, interestingly, genealogists have ascertained that whether the various branches of the aristocratic Kennedys in Scotland and Ireland may have different origins (because the origins of the Scottish branch is unclear)--it can be shown that they all subsequently intermarried and became related if they were not related to begin with. Gayle Marie Kennedy points this out on page 3 of her book My Kennedy Ancestors..., It is believed that all the foregoing Kennedy families are related either by virtue of being descendants of common ancestors, or by intermarriage. I looked up in Burkes General Armory to get a listing of the aristocratic Kennedys and here is what I got: Kennedys of Ardmillan, County Ayr, Scotland Kennedys of Auchtyfardell, County Lanark, 1752 Kennedys of Blairquhan, County Ayr, Scotland Kennedys of Clowburn. County Ayr, Scotland Kennedys of Cultura, County Down, Northern Ireland Kennedys of Dublin Fun Ent, 1595, Ulster, Ireland Kennedys of Girvanmains, County Ayr, Scotland Kennedys of Hill Foot, Ire land Kennedys of Kirkmiehael, County Ayr, Scotland Kennedys of Kirmucks, Aberdeen, Scotland Kennedys of Londonberry, Northern

Next time, Milosevic, keep 'em ZAGREB, Croatia - Three U.S. soldiers released by Yugoslav authorities walked joyously across the border to freedom Sunday, two of them holding hands with the Reverend Jesse Jackson and chanting: ''Free at last! Free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last!'' Hours later, after a bus ride to the Croatian capital, Zagreb, they flew on to Germany for medical examination at a U.S. military base. ''We express our deepest gratitude to the people who negotiated our release,'' Sergeant Christopher Stone said. ''We owe them our freedom.'' The sergeant was referring to Mr. Jackson and others in a group of American clergymen who achieved their release in talks with President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia. Mr. Jackson, who flew with the soldiers to Germany, urged President Bill Clinton to accept Mr. Milosevic's proposal for a face-to-face meeting, calling the offer ''indeed a diplomatic initiative.'' At the Zagreb airport, Mr. Jackson repeated a plea for a reciprocal goodwill gesture by the NATO allies, which have been bombing Yugoslavia since March 24 trying to break the Kosovo deadlock. Separately, Russia said Sunday that Viktor Chernomyrdin, the Kremlin's special envoy for Kosovo, would meet with President Bill Clinton in Washington on Monday. Arriving at Zagreb with the freed soldiers, Mr. Jackson said he hoped the U.S. administration would ''take some risk for peace and reconciliation and we can avoid the bloody, expensive, long, disastrous war.'' In Washington, Mr. Clinton expressed his gratitude to Mr. Jackson and said he was pleased by the soldiers' release. ''All of America is anticipating their safe return,'' he said. But the president stressed to Mr. Jackson by telephone that the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia would continue despite the release, a White House spokesman said. Defense Secretary William Cohen said it was ''highly unlikely'' that Mr. Clinton would agree to meet with Mr. Milosevic and he warned that NATO planned to increase, not curtail, its air campaign. ''We are not only not going to stop the bombing, we are going to intensify the bombing,'' Mr. Cohen said. Belgrade was plunged into darkness shortly before 10 P.M. as electricity was cut off after air-raid sirens warned of approaching NATO planes, witnesses said Sunday. Residents said there were heavy streams of anti-aircraft fire lighting up the sky over in the southeastern part of the city. There was no immediate explanation for the power failure. Jamie Shea, the NATO civilian spokesman, said in Brussels that the alliance would halt or suspend the air campaign only if Mr. Milosevic accepted NATO-dictated peace conditions, including the deployment of an international force of armed troops in Kosovo. Yugoslavia challenged the West to come up with a reciprocal gesture following Belgrade's release of the three U.S. soldiers. The Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nebojsa Vujovic, also reiterated at a news conference that Belgrade would not allow any foreign troops on its soil to police a peace agreement for the province of Kosovo. ''The release of the American prisoners represents a goodwill gesture and demonstrates our firm commitment to reach long-lasting political solutions between the state and representatives of all ethnic groups in Kosovo,'' he said. ''We played our part in goodwill, as a goodwill gesture, and it's up to those who enjoyed the benefits of this gesture to decide what is the next step they are supposed to take.'' Mr. Jackson, on a satellite hookup with Fox-TV interviewers in Washington, said that in so intractable a standoff, only diplomacy at the highest levels could bring a solution. ''I am convinced that if the leaders are bold and seize this moment, something great could happen,'' he said. Mr. Clinton and Mr. Milosevic ''would understand each other and could hammer out an agreement in a way that has not happened,'' Mr. Jackson added. But he said later on NBC that Mr. Milosevic had appeared ''very confident,'' citing Yugoslavia's ability through history to resist pressure, including years of hostility from the Soviet Union during the Stalin-Tito feud that erupted in 1948. His sense, he said, was that Mr. Milosevic would ''absolutely not'' give in to pressure. Mr. Jackson, a civil rights leader who recently announced he would not run for the U.S. presidency next year, made the trip to Belgrade as head of a delegation of religious leader, including Serbian-American ministers, Muslim clerics and Jewish religious figures. Even before he left for Belgrade, Mr. Jackson revealed plans for the mission in an interview with International Herald Tribune Television that was broadcast last week on the RAI News 24 satellite channel in Italy.

The Colorado high school massacre was bound to be a reactionary media feeding frenzy and, as usual, big business did not disappoint. That very day, even Bill Mahr (Politically Incorrect-ABC), was screaming for gun control, proclaiming this tragedy "a message from God" and calling the event "ironic" in view of an upcoming NRA meeting in Denver. (Were these boys card-carrying NRA members?) Once again, the media's discourse is soo predictable: ban guns, drugs, violent movies (except news footage), internet access, black clothing and "goth" records. (I wonder, during a search, can dogs distinguish between Marilyn Manson and Mozart?) I've yet to hear or see one reporter asking the most important question of all: "Prior to the massacre, what measures had been taken to help the children who committed the murders...what drove these kids to so violently 'snap'? How did things go so far?" I am not saying the boys themselves are not accountable. Only one finger pulls the trigger on a gun. But there are numerous reports that the boys were repeatedly victimized by peers--perhaps provoking them to, in their distorted minds, turn the dynamic around. Since these kids reportedly made no waves, school staff apparently never asked them about their penchant for death and why they continuously drew swastikas on themselves. (Is there enough staff at this school to take time out to ask? Probably not.) And what of the parents? Did they ever have a heart-to-heart about their boys'obsession with Hitler, bombs and death? Where and when did the boys make the bombs and store their arsenals? Did school personnel and parents ever talk to each other about the impact of the ongoing ridicule and other concerns? Did these boys have anyone else to talk to, except for themselves? One of the teachers interviewed by a TV reporter was incredulous that such violence could occur at her school. "I always thought this sort of thing happened somewhere else," she said. Now, no one in America can ignore this wake-up call. But sadly, signs of reactionary, short-term solutions abound: Line these kids up and search every last one. Collect their urine, blood, hair, fingerprints; track their Net searches, record their telephone conversations; lock them up. As a former public school teacher, I can tell you, there are a lot of similarities between schools and prisons. And prisoners often rebel. By all appearances, Littleton, Colorado is a white picket fence- sort of town. And after the last news van hits the road, life there, and elsewhere in America, will go on. Children will continue to be ignored and discredited by the adults in their lives, who will choose to turn a blind eye to all that is unpleasant--such as problems at school--unless it involves dollar amounts. Victimizing people will still be accepted as normal, and for the winners in our society, a sort of birthright. Anything, or anybody, viewed as "different" will be ostracized. We will continue to feed on a steady diet of violence and glorify war. And troubled kids will continue to suffer in silence, products of a culture that does not value the feelings and perceptions of its children and chooses to ignore the realities of today's playground. It's been said that schools are microcosms of society and they are. From what I've experienced during my seven years in public schools, this sort of thing is, unfortunately, bound to happen again -- just not in your home town. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

Kosovo Rebels and Their New Friend BYLINE: By CHRIS HEDGES DATELINE: VICIDIOL, Albania, June 9 1998 The family farm of the former Albanian President, Sali Berisha, who was driven from power last year, has become a base for the Kosovo Liberation Army, an ethnic Albanian group fighting for independence for their province from Serbia. Mr. Berisha's decision to turn over his birthplace to the rebels is part of his skillful manipulation of the crisis in Kosovo to mount a political comeback, Western diplomats say. His return to power would not be welcomed by Washington, which blames his administration for Albania's economic melt-down and descent into lawlessness. The unrest began with the collapse of pyramid schemes, many of them encouraged by the Government, that cost thousands of Albanians their savings. The decision to back the armed movement in Kosovo could also push Albania toward open conflict with Belgrade and spread the fighting beyond Serbia's borders. "The increased violence in the border region is counterproductive," said Daan W. Everts, the representative in Albania for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. "Instead of reducing militancy, it has increased it inside Kosovo and Albania. The more violence, the more militancy." The stone farmhouse here, two miles south of Tropoje, with a red tile roof and small, narrow windows, was surrounded this morning with dozens of pack horses and 30 young men who were being issued AK-47 assault rifles from an underground bunker in a field. Those interviewed said they were preparing to cross the rugged border to join the rebels and fight Serbian troops. Mr. Berisha's elderly cousin, Besnik Berisha, who had lived with his wife and family in the house for several years, moved out a few days ago, the men said. A newly built wooden fence around the compound and piles of assault rifles and ammunition boxes gave the place the feel of a fortress. The rebels, who move in darkness across the border into Kosovo, spoke bitterly of the request by the Prime Minister, Fatos Nano, Mr. Berisha's political rival, that NATO troops be stationed along the border on the Albanian side. "We don't want NATO troops here," said a young, bearded leader who would

Web site includes many explainatory diagrams. Om K - The Electromagnetic Bomb - a Weapon of Electrical Mass Destruction Carlo Kopp Defence AnalystMelbourne, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~carlo/ ABSTRACT High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. This paper discusses aspects of the technology base, weapon delivery techniques and proposes a doctrinal foundation for the use of such devices in warhead and bomb applications. 1. Introduction The prosecution of a successful Information Warfare (IW) campaign against an industrialised or post industrial opponent will require a suitable set of tools. As demonstrated in the Desert Storm air campaign, air power has proven to be a most effective means of inhibiting the functions of an opponent's vital information processing infrastructure. This is because air power allows concurrent or parallel engagement of a large number of targets over geographically significant areas [SZAFRANSKI95]. While Desert Storm demonstrated that the application of air power was the most practical means of crushing an opponent's information processing and transmission nodes, the need to physically destroy these with guided munitions absorbed a substantial proportion of available air assets in the early phase of the air campaign. Indeed, the aircraft capable of delivery laser guided bombs were largely occupied with this very target set during the first nights of the air battle. The efficient execution of an IW campaign against a modern industrial or post-industrial opponent will require the use of specialised tools designed to destroy information systems. Electromagnetic bombs built for this purpose can provide, where delivered by suitable means, a very effective tool for this purpose. 2.The EMP Effect The ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) effect [1] was first observed during the early testing of high altitude airburst nuclear weapons [GLASSTONE64]. The effect is characterised by the production of a very short (hundreds of nanoseconds) but intense electromagnetic pulse, which propagates away from its source with ever diminishing intensity, governed by the theory of electromagnetism. The ElectroMagnetic Pulse is in effect an electromagnetic shock wave. This pulse of energy produces a powerful electromagnetic field, particularly within the vicinity of the weapon burst. The field can be sufficiently strong to produce short lived transient voltages of thousands of Volts (ie kiloVolts) on exposed electrical conductors, such as wires, or conductive tracks on printed circuit boards, where exposed. It is this aspect of the EMP effect which is of military significance, as it can result in irreversible damage to a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, particularly computers and radio or radar receivers. Subject to the electromagnetic hardness of the electronics, a measure of the equipment's resilience to this effect, and the intensity of the field produced by the weapon, the equipment can be irreversibly damaged or in effect electrically destroyed. The damage inflicted is not unlike that experienced through exposure to close proximity lightning strikes, and may require complete replacement of the equipment, or at least substantial portions thereof. Commercial computer equipment is particularly vulnerable to EMP effects, as it is largely built up of high density Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) devices, which are very sensitive to exposure to high voltage transients. What is significant about MOS devices is that very little energy is required to permanently wound or destroy them, any voltage in typically in excess of tens of Volts can produce an effect termed gate breakdown which effectively destroys the device. Even if the pulse is not powerful enough to produce thermal damage, the power supply in the equipment will readily supply enough energy to complete the destructive process. Wounded devices may still function, but their reliability will be seriously impaired. Shielding electronics by equipment chassis provides only limited protection, as any cables running in and out of the equipment will behave very much like antennae, in effect guiding the high voltage transients into the equipment. Computers used in data processing systems, communications systems, displays, industrial control applications, including road and rail signalling, and those embedded in military equipment, such as

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.18/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.18/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 18 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 3, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 18 Editor Chief: Emile Zola The Life of an International Telecommuter by Estaban Hill I live in Mexico City, Mexico. It takes me one minute to commute to work every morning. That is the time it takes for my computer to dial the connection to my Internet Service Provider. Where do I want to work today? Chicago. This past month I received an email and ICQ message from a client of mine in Chicago inquiring about my availability to perform some 3D-animations for a corporate meeting taking place in Miami, Florida in the middle of April. We talked about the time frame of the project, 14 days, and a general overview of the project. It all sounded agreeable. So we commenced with the plans. The project originally consisted of a single animation, then my client informed me that an additional animation was also needed. There was time for both, and things were going along smoothly so far, so I agreed. The primary animation was a 3-screen panoramic logo animation. This animation was to be played back before a live audience on 3 separate screens, side-by-side, each screen approximately 12ft x 9ft. The perspective center of the animation would be in the center of the middle screen. This would give the 3 screens the appearance of one large panoramic screen. Each screen would be driven by its own Digital Beta-cam or SP Video Playback deck. So the animation needed to be rendered to 3 separate videotapes. I have done this before, so the necessary techniques are in my bag of tricks. What makes a 3-screen project more of a project would only be in render time (that is, in the computational processing which converts the 3D models and animation programming into high-quality visual moving pictures). Since I am "virtually" rendering 3 screens as if it was one large screen, it can take up to three times the rendering time. First, my client faxed me the well-done storyboards (pencil sketches of the animation sequence), and everything was very self-explanatory. Then they sent me via e-mail a JPEG computer image file of the meeting logo, and the corporate logo, and an Adobe Illustrator file of the logos also. This really helps out a lot, as I can use many of the existing shapes and curves as a starting point for the 3D model in my 3D-animation program. As the creation of the 3D models progressed, I would post preview and status images with descriptions, to one of my Internet web sites. Then I would email my client about the updated postings. They were able to pull up from any web browser, wherever they were, the preview images, and status descriptions. If my client was on-line, many times we would have an ICQ chat (ICQ is an internet messaging and chatting program) about how it was looking and about the progress, and I would send them changed images that I was making while we talked in real-time. I repeated the same process for the animation previews (these are small-sized versions of the current animation sequence). I used AVI and MPEG video type files for the previews. Depending on what part of the animation I was working on, I would send wire-frame (objects appear to be made of a mesh of wires) versionsif it was only tests of the objects motions and timings. If it was about colors, lighting, or visual effects, then I would send an actual! fully rendered preview (in which objects have full color, lighting, and textures applied). Transferring Files The project was working out very well so far. One of the problems that I have encountered in the past with working over the Internet is with the successful transfer of these files, which are sometimes several megabytes in size. The single image previews were finethey are only a couple of kilobytes each. It is the animation previews that can cause the problems downloading (transferring from somewhere on the Internet to your hard drive), because of their size and/or the unreliability of standard point-click-save-as web browser activated downloads. One solution that works out very well, is for me to set up my clients with a little program that works as a Download Agent, or as the industry likes to call it, a download manager. Now what a download manager does is something that never occurred to Bill Gates with all of his fiber-optic Internet connections. Download managers are for people like us who use the real Internet. How many times have you clicked on a file in Internet Explorer, or Netscape, and it starts the download, only to abort after 2 or 15 minutes? Then you have to restart the file from the beginning? Not anymore with a good download manager. The download manager that I prefer for its simplicity and power is NetVampire. It is a free program that you can download

While some misguided parents actually encourage bully-type behavior, virtually no one wants their child to be the one who snitches on otherseven at home, telling on ones siblings is likely to earn a rebuke. Reasons for not tattling range from it being "un-American" to the fact that someone elses behavior is none of the snitchs business. Yet children continue to tattle, and have even begun turning their parents in for alleged wrongdoing. There are several explanations for this rise in childhood snitching. In many families, the parent or parents are so busy trying to pay all the bills that they do not have much time left to devote to the children. In others, children are little more than status symbols whom the parents do not care to get to know as individuals, and whom are sent away out of the parents sight for as much time as possible. The result of both of these situations is a child who gets most of his or her values from people other than the parents. The place most of them learn whatever values they may acquire is from school. And for the majority of children, that school is a government-funded, public school. Ah yes, the public schools: propaganda mills for the statists. Public schools are indoctrination centers for those in power to promulgate their views of past, present, and the future. There is much to comment on here, but rather than wander too far afield, lets focus on some of the "education" public schools foist upon their subjects. Either directly or indirectly (and ofttimes both), students learn that so-called self-esteem is more important than actual learning, and that as long as they make a show of trying, theyll be passed to the next level. As a result, a student often learns that results do not matterjust the effort is sufficient. This is worse than learning that "the ends justify the means"; it teaches that "an end is an end is an end". And we see the success of that learning, in the functional illiteracy rates among high school graduates, and the increasing need for remedial college courses. Schools also use subtle means to get information they want from students. Under the guise of concern, school nurses and guidance counselors ask all sorts of questions of the students, including prying questions about a childs home life. Thus, even a student who is rightfully suspicious of outsiders meddlings may be lulled into answering questions that are the business of no one outside the family. Even a school administrator may take this approach in trying to identify the perpetrator of some prank, as happened to me in my high school days. Without even knowing it, then, a young person may inadvertently reveal innocuous information that could be misinterpreted and bring about severe consequences for the parents, and the entire family. Government Snitch Programs And then theres the explicit snitch indoctrination program of DARE. In this program, community police enter the schools, supposedly to teach children "drug abuse resistance and education". Included in that program, however, is a strong component of snitchingtelling ones principal about other childrens suspicious behavior, and calling the police for any suspected illegal-drug-related activity outside the school. Well-intentioned children repeat the slogans of DARE, which include informing "the authorities", in the programs, which are presented as fun activities, and even games. Then, when children see evidence of marijuana use in the home, for example, they think that its a good thing to call the police. It isnt until the sibling or parent is hustled off in handcuffs that the child begins to have any inkling of how destructive to the family that one phone call is going to be. And of course, its too late then. The public schools do not deserve all the responsibility for these youthful tattletales. Many go to private schools, and many are fortunate enough to go to public schools that dont have the funding to support the DARE propaganda pitch. Where else do kids learn their talkative habits? From their parents, of course. The very same parents whom I just said encourage their children not to tattle. How can that be? Ironically, it has happened in the name of "patriotism", as some will probably describe the phenomenon. The federal government has made a big business of "informing" on fellow citizens. The most obvious example involves paying people who implicate others in some crime, or who sell information used in obtaining a search warrant. While those who commit

Kocher As a basic philosophical principle, there comes a point at which if two people or groups of people are at such extreme variance in their most fundamental perceptions and interpretations of the world around them, then this variation can only be explained in terms of at least one of the people or groups having some sort of serious mental disorder. For example, if one person points to an object on my desk as an ash tray while another person seriously insists it is a hippopotamus, the issue is really not related to intellectual difference or even anything that can be resolved by intellectual discourse. The issue is one of basic sanity or basic mental competence. Within this context, it should be understood that not all differences of opinion can be resolved by reason or by even the most obvious real-world evidence. During a Nightline segment some years ago, discussing an anniversary of the Woodstock music festival, I heard Carlos Santana, one of the Woodstock musicians, debating two other people about the significance and legacy of the event. Santana talked vaguely about a consciousness legacy of the period and some other mystical aspects. One of the other people interviewed, who happened to be President Carter's former press chief, argued that the significance was a destructive legacy of drugs. Santana replied in substance, You have your reality and I have my reality. That reply, in one concise phrase is one of the true destructive legacies of the borderline Sixties and Seventies-and Woodstock. Anyone could make up any desired version of anything and it was still to be regarded as reality. Anyone was entitled to his or her own version of reality. Conversely, anyone could arbitrarily deny any aspect of reality which did not suit him. Regardless of any arguments to the contrary, the conventional real world with its lawfulness of cause, effect, and consequences is the only world I, or you, have. Regardless of whether we would like to hallucinate a different world, or wish there were a different world, or wish there were different consequences, or argue for the validity of subjective experience over reality, or argue that subjective experience is the only reality; the conventionally defined sane (conventionally sane as was defined in this country before the borderline Sixties) method of interacting with that world is the only one that works over time. Violation of that working principle points one rather consistently, objectively or subjectively, unto the house of defecation. There is only one reality. In Mr. Santana's case the reality is that many of the people who appeared on that same stage subsequently died from drugs within a few years after Woodstock. Some of the others weren't even that lucky and destroyed themselves incrementally over a period of years. That is the reality that is. Whether he or others want to accept it or not, will not change it. That is the reality that is. Continued irrelevant argumentation will not change that. That is the reality that is. When Debate Is Futile It is a fact of life that you cannot win an argument with someone who is not sane. Sane bystanders may come to agree with your presentation, but you have no way of convincing someone who is not sane of anything. This is implicit in the definition of insanity. This is inherent in the psychotic process or borderline-psychotic process of reality-denial. The rules of rationality, and basic reality, are not recognized in the insane world. As a consequence, the valid rationality of an argument is not recognized in that world. Neither is irrationality recognized in that world. Given those two conditions, no intellectual leverage is possible to establish agreement on the truth. There are several entirely different reasons why any given argument or explanation cannot be refuted. One reason an argument may be irrefutable is that the argument is so incoherent as to be irrefutable. It is more mental disturbance than it is argument. If someone says something is true, or says they should be allowed to do something, because glack sbutz ta snirt kluda zohx opleg hawpikw, no direct intellectual refutation is possible. There are arguments or explanations using real words instead of nonsense syllables which make no more sense than the preceding. Such arguments are, or should be, their own refutation. They are, on their own face, clearly irrational. Here we are dealing with irrationality as a primary quality. The existence or form of primary qualities cannot be argued. Something is either red, black, round, square, or it is not. In the same way

Placing 'Me' Before 'We': Ayn Rand's Anthem
by Michael R. Allen
Ayn Rand's classic story of one man's desire to become an individual in
a nameless society presents a compelling refutation of collectivism in
all forms.
The hero, labeled "Equality 7-2521" by the State, chooses to challenge
conventional authority as he learns the joys of experimentation and
discovery, the ecstasy of human love, the challenge and fairness of
liberty, and the happiness of self-interest. Equality 7-2521 keeps a
diary that is the book itself, and in this journal he writes three
unique phrases, which will be discussed individually in the remainder of
this essay.
I."My happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not
the means to an end. It is the end."
In the tale, this thought drives the entire actions of Equality 7-2521
as he progresses in his attempt to become an individual. His happiness
is not satisfied when he must share it universally with all men. Not
every man can be as happy as the next, and therefore the forced
brotherhood of all men will only deplete the spirits of those who are
successful. In Anthem, Rand tells of Equality's joy when he "discovers"
electricity. At that moment he knows that the joy of discovery is only
his to relish, and that it cannot be shared or manipulated by any other
man. In that regard, his own well-being is the end of his striving; he
has fulfilled his wishes. To say that his happiness was only the means
to, say, world peace would be to abolish his status as an independent
body.
An individual's happiness is the culmination of patience, work, and
physical or material expenditure. Such happiness is self-contained, as
there is no possible way for a human to know the feelings of another.
The fulfillment of one's desires cannot be anything but the end, as the
individual sets his own goals and, when they are achieved, has reached
the finishing point of an endeavor. (The only conceivable way in which
individual happiness could be seen as a means to another goal would be
if that goal were the complete happiness of societyin which case the
individual would again be placed in subservience to a group.) Man's
sovereign rights would be infringed upon if he were seen as a unit in a
broader plan rather than as a self-contained human being.
II."We know that we are evil, but there is no will in us and no power to
resist it."
This sentence has a powerful meaning in the story. Equality 7-2521 is
not evil in the traditional sense of right versus wrong, but he is evil
in the sense that he refuses to join the collectivist program of the
rulers. They view him as evil, and he does not wish to change his
beliefs or resist the emergence of latent individualism. He dares to
love, to take a name, to invent something alone, and, worst of all, he
dares to find happiness in solitude rather than with a group. To the
dictators of this fictional society, his evils are breaches of the
spirit of groupthink. In the story, he at first doubts his opinions and
beliefs, but he finally accepts that they will not leave his mind, and
his destiny is sealed. In his recognition of his core belief (individual
freedom), he becomes aware that he cannot resist pursuing this immutable
sense of freedom.
Briefly, this sentence is the summary of man's existence. Man knows he
is selfish, and those who allow self-interest to permeate their being
are often called greedy or evil. However, without selfishness man is
reduced from an advanced mind to a mere member of a group of animals
that lack personal expression. As in the society of the story, those who
defy the conventional wisdom today are not treated with respect. Modern
culture has focused on compassion and charity as the ultimate
expressions of mankind's love, but it has failed to acknowledge that
self-love is one of the primary aspects of freedom and self-governance.
III."The word 'We' . . . must never be placed first within man's soul."
Equality 7-2521 deals with the totalitarian wrath of the horrible
society in which he lives. This bleak and depressing world is the direct
result of the end of individualism. Because an individual cannot
accomplish great things, no further inventions can be made. Because man
must work for his fellow man and not himself, he does not earn wages and
has to live in barren communes and perform tasks to which he is
assigned.
Since this society believes that man must never be alone, the pronoun
"I" has been eradicated and people made into couples ("we"). This
fictional society reinforces the good of the group in every imaginable
facet of life. There is no time when one is allowed to read, write, or
think
[CTRL] In Canada, Government Knows Best
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.18/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.18/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 18 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 3, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 18 Editor Chief: Emile Zola In Canada, Government Knows Best by Peter Topolewski Canada has a million things right. But here are some of what it has most wrong. Number one: many Canadians suffer delusions about the problems facing them. Here is what a reader of my article Taxes on Mars (Laissez Faire City Times, Vol. 3, No. 14) had to say about Canadian socialism: We do pay higher taxes yet I think one has to look at our society as a whole as to whether we get our money's worth or not. Universal health care is open to the rich or poor, and even the homeless can get treatment. I have yet to meet anyone who has complained of the treatment that they got under the system. I dont know anyone who has complained of the treatment they received in Canadas health care system either, but again and again Canadians tell pollsters that improving the health care system is the most critical issue facing the nation. From BC to Quebec headlines tell of bed shortages forcing patients to spend nights sleeping in hospital hallways and closets. Across the country nurses, support workers, and doctors have been in pitched labor battles with their employers, the provincial governments. Surgery wait times is an uncomfortable euphemism politicians have applied to a medical system that can schedule your surgery six months from now, at the earliest. Although these sickly characteristics do not constitute what the media, in its exuberance, calls a health care crisis, no Canadian can pretend that all with the much-vaunted health care system is rosy. Wake up. Number two: too many Canadians want to solve the countrys economic and social problems by making them worse. According to the demands from columnists, activists, bureaucrats, and many average citizens, the only way to solve health care problems, poverty, child abuse, illiteracy, crime, racism, drug abuse, sexism, and so on is by spending more money. The problem is there isnt more money available to spend, andwhats morethere never will be. Health care for example has come under significant federal cuts over the last few years. Thats because since the 1970s demand for nearly all government services has been greater than the supply of dollars funding them, and just now is the country beginning to pay for those services rendered. The account is long overdue, and a mountain of debt remains. Recent spending cuts were ostensibly the source of funds for a payment on the federal debt. But even the cuts were not sufficient to cover the bill Finance Minister Paul Martin was able to make his small, symbolic debt payment only because he stole $19 billion in unemployment insurance premiums from the nations unemployed. Given this state of affairs how can Canada possibly afford to increase federal spending on anything? The debts, barely serviceable and threatening to cripple the country, need to be repaid. Each day they are allowed to expand diminishes the chances of paying them off before they bankrupt the entire system. The tax burden in Canada long ago passed the oppressive mark. And while this has even become a concern at the UN, many Canadians believe it their duty to pay their fair share, as the above quote indicates (re: we do pay higher taxes yet I think one has to look at our society as a whole as to whether we get our money's worth or not). In my opinion Canadians have little idea how much tax they pay. Besides the depressing federal and provincial taxes, one or two sales taxes (depending where you live), payroll, cigarette, alcohol, and gasoline taxes, and all the other regular taxes, Canadians face government "user fees" that have grown exponentially over the last ten years as well as government utilities that skim profits into general government revenue. Without knowing how much tax money they send the government, citizens have no way of knowing if they are "getting their moneys worth"; but the current state of affairs makes it clear that whatever amount Canadians do pay in taxes it is not enough to meet the demand. What portion of the average Canadians income will support governments services? 100 percent? Not likely. This ugly scenario of huge debt, service cutbacks, and awesome tax burden should make it clear to Canadians that this system cannot support itself. Even with 100 percent of taxpayer income there is no reason to believe it could. Government, in Canada and in general, is inherently inefficient. Estimates by the Fraser Institute indicate that for every eight dollars fed into the Canadian federal tax system citizens see one dollar in benefits. This ratio is likely no better in any other country, and in many probably significantly worse. This

The Divilbisses never hurt anyone and their little girl passed a psych evaluation with flying colors. But they are pagans, and polyamorous (two husbands, one wife), which was enough for the statenot to put too fine a point on itto abduct their daughter and refuse to return her until the three adults broke up their marriage. The story made national, and even international news. Whether you agree with this type of arrangement or not, the power of bigots to stomp into a happy household and abduct little girls under color of law is a soberingand for manyterrifying reality check. It is tempting for freedom-lovers to let the feeling of persecution generated by such incidents weigh us down. However, a quick look at history should be enough to remind us that our freedom to live the lifestyle of our choice is greater now than it has been for a thousand years, or more, in the West. Just how old is Mrs. Grundy anyway? No one can say for certain, but she has been with us for a long time, heaping unwanted public attention and condemnation on those who dare to be different in their sexuality. And yet, it seems doubtful she held much sway in Rome or Greece; those cultures seem to have been fairly lifestyle-tolerant. During the dark ages, there was such a vacuum of authority that even the Wiccans of the time were largely left alone by Christendom. However, with the rise of the centralized power structures of the nation-state came an increasing will and ability to enforce many of the more sexually repressive attitudes of the fathers of the Catholic church. This deepening tide of repression grew to a crescendo of hypocrisy that only abated when World War I put an end to the Gilded Age. How bad was it? Court cases show that even after the turn of this century, a wifes income was considered to be her husbands property. Marriage, as construed by the culture and laws of the Victorian era, basically gave a man ownership over his wife. More specifically, it gave him a legal right to her sex, regardless of how she might feel about it. Since even information regarding contraception was banned, control over reproduction was in the hands of men. There was no legal recourse for a woman, and little else she could doshort of murderto stop her husband if he wanted to have sex with her. Consider the tone of this advertisement from The Wyoming Press, published in 1900 for a product that had been for sale throughout the latter half of the 19th century: HOW IS YOUR WIFE? Has she lost her beauty? If so, Constipation, Indigestion, Sick Headache are the principal causes. Karls Clover Root Tea has cured these ills for half a century. Price 25cts. And 50cts. Money refunded if results are not satisfactory. Sold by Harrison Roth, Druggists. The insult to women aside, this ad and others like itall directed at menclearly show what a sexually benighted time the Victorian era was. But something extraordinary happened at the height of this hypocrisy: the Free Love movement. The movement actually started at about the same time as an interest in Spiritualism swept the United States in the 1830s and 1840s. It is worth clarifying that in the mid 1800s, Spiritualism meant communicating with spiritsknocking noises on walls and tables, speaking to dear old aunt Thelma, that sort of thing. The New York Times , regarded as a liberal bastion by todays conservatives, did not then regard these spirits very highly: "They were not in the field five years till they sought a fusion with the Free-Lovers, began to assail the marriage relation, invent new causes of difference between man and wife, and find excuses to satisfy the consciences of bigamists, and adulterers and fornicators." Key figures in the early Free-Love movement, many of whom were also abolitionists, included Victoria Woodhull (the first female candidate for U.S. president), Thomas L. and Mary G. Nichols, Andrew Jackson Davis, and Stephen Pearl Andrews. The movement was fairly conservative to begin with, in that the focus was still on the propriety of traditional family structures and duties. However, Free-Lovers also held that love (and, for some, Spiritual affinity) should determine whether a union formed or endured, not the church or state. Later, as the movement matured, it grew more diverse, even encompassing a faction that could be described as polyamorous. There were two groupings, known as the

[CTRL] Caspian Views
-Caveat Lector- From wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : Middle East As it orients towards the Caspian, Washington modifies sanctions against Iran By James Brookfield 3 May 1999 The Clinton Administration made two diplomatic overtures towards Iran last week. First, on Wednesday, April 28, it decided to allow US firms to sell food and medicine to the country, along with Libya and Sudan. Though the State Department continues to denote all three states as "terrorist," and to maintain other economic restrictions against each of them, it will now permit the sale of "human necessities" on a case-by-case basis rather than continue the existing blanket trade embargo on all products. Then on Friday, the State Department dropped its designation of Iran as the world's chief terrorist nation. The New York Times quoted an unnamed government official as saying, "If the Iranians read this as a signal for better ties, fine." Little official explanation was given for these changes. This is remarkable in that only last August the US bombed a pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan and less than two years ago William C. Ramsay, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy, Sanctions and Commodities, claimed that "no nation's behavior poses a greater threat to US political and security interests than that of Iran." What accounts for the new approach from Washington? Some cast the sanctions policy change as a humanitarian gesture. "The use of food as a weapon is wrong," said Senator Larry Craig of Idaho. That Congress has yet to drop embargoes against Iraq and Cuba indicates, however, that Mr. Craig's principle is honored more often in the breach than in the observance by US policy makers. Other government officials pointed to less noble motivations. "For America's farmers, this policy means opening up new markets and reviving old ones that had been off-limits, giving them a chance to boost their bottom line." If one reads "big agribusiness" for "America's farmers" one gets closer to the truth. The first deal awaiting approval from the US Treasury Department is a $500 million shipment of grain and sugar from the US-based Niki Trading Company to Iran. In addition to the Niki deal, US companies now expect to sell $500 million worth of commodities to Iran each year. More significant than the expected windfall for US agriculture, however, is the strategic shift in US policy that is being initiated via these two diplomatic steps. The Clinton Administration and the Iranian government of Mohammad Khatami have been seeking, each for their own reasons, a diplomatic rapprochement of sorts, described by US officials as a "dialogue," since the latter's 1997 election. In the preceding four years, Washington, hostile to Tehran since the Iranian revolution and wary of its status as a regional power, had sought to pummel the country economically. In the spring of 1995 it ratcheted up its existing trade sanctions. This move prompted a sharp fall in the rial and increases in Iranian unemployment and inflation. The US followed up the next year with the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act which threatened penalties for foreign firms that did business with either of the two countries. Even prior to the 1995-96 sanctions the Iranian economy was in severe difficulty. The country had been largely bankrupted by its eight-year war with Iraq in the 1980s. Then falling commodity prices hit. Export oil earnings fell from $19 billion in 1986 to $10 billion in 1998. With little capital to invest in the modernization of industry, substantial sections of Iranian policymakers began to debate proposals for "reform" including cutbacks on domestic gasoline subsidies and the opening of the oil industry to private ownership and at least partial foreign control. By 1995 the government had signed a contract with Total, the French oil company, to develop the Sirri oil field. In 1996 Iran was reported to have launched a secret bid to join the World Trade Organization, which would have required the further undoing of restrictions on foreign trade. This setting served as the backdrop to the coming to power of the Khatami government. The new administration continued the turn toward Western investment, trade, and diplomatic relations. Last month, for example, the parliament passed a law allowing up to 49 percent foreign ownership of Iranian oil refineries. The government also signed a $1 billion deal with Elf Aquitaine of France and ENI of Italy to modernize an offshore oil field in the Persian Gulf. Khatami also actively courted US policymakers, taking the step, unprecedented since 1979, of granting an interview to US television in 1998. The new Iranian orientation coincided with a foreign policy debate among US officials and business executives about relations with Tehran. Oil companies, effectively locked out of investing in Iran, found themselves at a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis their European rivals. At the same time, Iran acquired newfound importance to

[CTRL] Television Ñ Reflection of Modern America
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Evolution of Mass Culture In America - 1877 to the Present Gerald R. Baydo, Editor The Forum Press, Inc.©1982 Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004 ISBN 0-88273-260-9 - Television Reflection of Modern America James C. Williams The end of the Second World War found most Americans riding a crest of affluence hardly dreamed of in the 1930s. Together individuals and corporations had saved more than $48 billion during the war years, thus stimulating an unexpected postwar economic boom. Most Americans chose to ignore the problems festering under the surface-international instabilities, race relations, persistent poverty, and urban decay. Millions of people moved upward into a middle-class way of life which included ranch-style homes, leisurely weekends, automobiles, boats, trailers, expensive hobbies, air conditioning, and pre-packaged foods. Prominent among new products available to Americans was television. Originally developed during the 1920s, television was introduced commercially by RCA at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Although the war cut short the new media's growth, RCA rushed TV sets on the market soon after the 1945 Japanese surrender. By late 1948 the Federal Communications Commission had issued 108 station licenses, but wave spectrum interference problems and the lack of continental TV cables and microwave relays slowed television's growth. Nevertheless, the media's popularity was evident. In 1951 cities having TV stations reported movies, nightclubs, and sports events were suffering audience losses. jukebox and taxi receipts dropped, and radio listening declined substantially. Network radio sponsors were ready to switch to television when American Telephone and Telegraph Company completed nationwide cables and relay stations in 1952. The countdown for TV passed its final stage. A scramble to open stations followed the solution to interference problems, and by the end of 1952 over nineteen million TV sets were tuned to I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town, Arthur Godfrey's Friends, and the Philco Television Playhouse. Of America's homes 46 percent had "the tube," launching a new age in communications media. By the end of the decade almost90 percent of America's homes had a TV, and by the 1970s New York State courts had ruled that TV-along with tools, pots and pans, and prosthetic devices-was an essential necessity of life and as such beyond the reach of creditors. More homes had a TV than had indoor plumbing, refrigerators, and telephones. Indeed, 45 percent had two or more sets in 1978. Television has grown so rapidly that there has hardly been time to examine its significance. Critics of the media have generally pointed to its negative impact upon Americans. They have argued that TV made Americans passive; it eroded important differences in regions and social classes; violence on the screen prompted an increase in real world violence; children raised on TV grew up as illiterates; and TV conditioned us to seek simple, formulized solutions for problems. Marshall McLuhan bravely saw TV as a positive force, reshaping the very nature of humankind and making us all inhabitants of a "global village." Now we are beginning to see that television, both as an industry and in its programming, is as much a reflector as it is a conditioner of society. In and behind the flickering images we see are many facets of our urban-industrial world, our political and economic System, our nation's international role, and our values. The urban-industrial environment in which modern Americans live has profoundly disconnected people from the natural world. We are no longer personally involved with the nuances of nature, its plant and animal life. The steel and concrete architecture of our cities and the repeated sameness of our suburbs has come to stand between us and our primary experiences with nature. Even the rural areas have felt this mediation of experience at secondhand, as single crops replaced the diversity of natural environments. Urban life often has seemed an abstraction, a sort of arbitrary reconstruction of reality. Single-family homes and apartments separated Americans in both social and physical distance from places of work and the decisive political and economic centers of society. Our lives thrust toward mobile, fragmented privatization. "Broadcasting in its applied form," observed Raymond Williams, "was a social product of this distinctive tendency." The central transmitter broadcasting images to domestic sets provided "a whole social intake" to privatized homes. Our use of television accentuated the privatization process even further when individuals within each home switched on their own sets. TV, argues ex-advertising agent Jerry Mander, became the archetypal mediating machine. Its images further interposed between us and the natural world, thereby standardizing, reinforcing, and confirming the validity of the artificial environment created by
[CTRL] [16] The Strange Death of FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Strange Death of FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT A History of the Roosevelt-Delano Dynasty America's Royal Family Emanuael M. Josephson©1948 CHEDNEY PRESS 127 East 69th Street New York 21, N. Y. --[16]-- CHAPTER XVI WHY WARRING U. S. STARVED FOR SUGAR JIMMY WRITES INSURANCE The New Deal developed strictly along the lines of the spoils system. Since "Charity begins at home", it was a New Deal first of all for the Roosevelt family and second for the Roosevelt-Delano Dynasty. This is perfectly illustrated by the story of why the United States starved for sugar during the war. The Adams branch of the Dynasty traditionally are heavily interested in the West Indies sugar industry. One of the cogent reasons for this patrician family throwing in its lot with the "rabble" during the Revolutionary War period was England's interference with the ruin, molasses and slave trade with the West -Indies. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered office the Dynasty was well represented in its holdings in the sugar industry. "Cousin" Frederick B. Adams, in addition to his interests in the munition. industry signalized by his position of Chairman of the Board of the Air Reduction Company and Director of the Remington Arms Company, held many key positions in the sugar industry including: Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Fruit and Sugar Company, President of the Cuban Dominican Sugar Company, President of the Santa Ana Sugar Company, Director of the Sugar Estates of Oriente, President of the Barhona Sugar Corporation, and President of the Tanamo Sugar Corporation; subsequently he became President of the West Indies Sugar Company. "Cousin" Charles Francis Adams, whose interests ran more to local utilities and to shipbuilding and naval construction, represented the Dynasty in only two sugar companies as Director of the American Sugar Refining Company and Director of the Central Aguirre Sugar Company. Robert C. Adams was Director of the Warner Sugar Company. In short the Dynasty was more than a little interested in sugar. Also interested in sugar were the Rockefeller-Morgan clique and the National City Bank. The sugar industry at this time was in a state verging on bankruptcy and the condition of the West Indies companies was particularly bad. In a commercial Dynasty such as the Roosevelt-Delano, this called for prompt action. Roosevelt's action was particularly prompt. The New Dealers deliberately conspired to destroy the American sugar industry and to favor the West Indies sugar industry. In the course of the 1932 campaign Hoover had accused Roosevelt of planning to injure the American farmer, among other things, by lowering tariffs. Roosevelt denied the charges. But a year later, his Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, began, on behalf of the Dynasty, the campaign to destroy the continental American sugar industry on special behalf of the West Indies and Latin American industry. On July 31, 1934, Wallace pronounced in a speech to farmers at the free Chatauqua held on the campus of the Louisiana Poly. technic Institute, Ruston, Louisiana, what Charles A. Farwell, executive of the American Sugar Cane League called "Wallace's death sentence on Louisiana's sugar industry." Wallace pronounced according to the report in the Times-Picayune published on that date and quoted, December 1938, by the journalistic genius, Meigs Frost, in a masterly series of articles in the New Orleans State, "Sugar is an inefficient industry. I am willing to say that in Louisiana where sugar is produced ... "I do not believe the Louisiana sugar or any other inefficient industry should be put out of business all at once. That would be hard on human right. But it should be exposed gradually to the winds of world commerce." That Wallace was assigned by his Dynastic masters to accomplish some particularly vicious dirty work, is revealed by the testimony given previously by one of his subordinates, A. J. S.

-Caveat Lector- An excerpt from: Kilgallen Lee Israel©1979 Delacorte Press New York, NY ISBN 0-440-04522-3 --[2]-- 28/THE OUT-OF--TOWNER THROUGH the late summer and early fall of 1964, Dorothy began producing a series of explosive exclusives related to the assassination. The first was a corker. Howard Rothberg picked her up one night in mid-August, after what he understood, from Dorothy, was "some kind of meeting." She was toting a heavy sheath of papers inside the cover of the Life magazine issue that featured Lee Harvey Oswald on the cover, hefting the Mannlicher-Carcano with which he was alleged to have shot the President. Howard relieved her of the package as they left his car and headed toward a restaurant. "What are all these papers?" Howard asked. She answered jauntily: "Oh, it's just the Warren Commission Report."[1] The report was not due to be released until late September, until which time it was classified Top Secret. Dorothy had somehow obtained a verbatim copy of a portion of the voluminous study, consisting of Jack Ruby's testimony to the commission, which had transpired in Dallas back in June of that year. It would take Dorothy three days to convince her newspaper to publish the long-awaited document. She had first to swear to her publisher, Joseph Kingsbury Smith, and to the lawyers at the Journal-American, that she had done nothing illegal in- obtaining the transcript and that the person from whom she obtained it was in rightful possession of the 102 page segment. Smith asked her to name her source. This she would not do. Dorothy assumed that her paper's reluctance to publish transcended the legal issues involved. She would tell Mark Lane that she perceived a compliant self-censorship at the journal, that the publisher knew that the government would not be pleased and that he might, as a result, become persona non grata at White House functions. Lane asked her if she didn't fear the same kind of social ostracism. "Oh, Lyndon's a bore," she replied. "Who wants to go to his parties?" Mark Lane was not buying her flip response. He believed that she was just too modest to proclaim that getting the facts out about the assassination dwarfed any social considerations she might have had.[2] In her dealings with the paper, she permitted Paul Schoenstein to photostat only one page of the document, which was run to authenticate the coup. The rest she demanded back after its contents were typed. The testimony was published in three parts, with Dorothy's comments, questions, and assessments running alongside. The installments were treated with proper hoopla. She was making available, for the first time, one of the most eagerly awaited documents of the century. The first installment of the Ruby transcript was published on August 18. Two days later, Lee Rankin of the Warren Commission requested J. Edgar Hoover to conduct an investigation of how Dorothy came into possession of the classified report.[3] The investigation was exhaustive, with agents interviewing everyone who was in the room during the Ruby interview or had access to the transcript thereafter. They questioned sheriffs, a jailer, a court reporter, secretaries, district attorneys, and lawyers. The Warren Commission was allowed to investigate its own people. There is no indication in the FBI dossier that the source was ever uncovered. When Dorothy somehow learned that the federal agents were narrowing in on a female court reporter who had transcribed the proceedings, she made her one concession, insisting that a man and not a woman was the source of her material. Two federal agents knocked on her door on August 21. She asked them to tea, told them that she "would die rather than reveal her source," and noted, with amusement, that they appeared to be embarrassed, recognizing the futility of their mission. As they were about to leave, she gave them one clue, in jest. "I can tell you that it wasn't John Daly," she said. Daly was married to the daughter of Chief Justice Earl Warren.[4] Immediately after she caused the Ruby transcript to be published, Dorothy made another trip to Dallas. There she somehow obtained the original police log that chronicled the minute-by-minute activities of the department in the immediate wake of the assassination, as reflected in its radio communications.[5] She ascertained from the exclusive material a surprising datum that would not be incorporated into the massive Warren Commission Report. Chief Curry of the Dallas police department, who was in the first car of the motorcade, had reacted to the shots he heard with an initial command: "Get a man on top of the overpass and see what happened up there."[6] Dorothy noted, in her banner story based on this latest acquisition: Twenty-four hours after the assassination, however, Chief Curry assured reporters that the sound of the shots told him at once they had come from the Texas School Depository and that "right away" he radioed an order to surround and

-Caveat Lector- An excerpt from: Kilgallen Lee Israel©1979 Delacorte Press New York, NY ISBN 0-440-04522-3 --[3]-- EPILOGUE WHAT happened to Dorothy? The heart-attack verdict was short-lived. Over the staunch objections of Richard Kollmar, Dorothy was removed to the Medical Examiner's Office for autopsy. A death certificate issued on November 15 ascribed the cause to "acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication-circumstances undertermined[sic]." It meant that she died from too much pills and liquor. "Circumstances undetermined" is not a common designation. The ME's office, which was headed at the time by the august forensic pathologist Milton Helpern, was admitting that it did not know whether the death was suicidal or accidental. The question of foul play was never officially entertained. After three years of investigating the events surrounding Dorothy's death, it is clear to me that she did not die accidentally and that a network of varied activities, impelled by disparate purposes, conspired effectively to obfuscate the truth. A household of family and servants endeavored to protect Dorothy from scandaleither because they thought she had taken her own life, feared that the public would misconstrue, or had reason to believe that she was not alone in the third-floor master bedroom before she succumbed. Dorothy would have enjoyed the Grand Guignol audition for witnesses that was stagedon her behalf. The pathology department of the New York Medical Ex-aminer's Office did its job competently. But what it knew was more than it told; and pathology was itself apparently told much less than it should have been by the chemists in toxicology, upon whom the former relied for analysis and quantification of the barbiturates and basic drugs that were reposited in Dorothy's body. Dr. James L. Luke, who was dispatched to the house on November 8, explained to me in a telephone interview, "You can't just go charging around in a situation like that causing a lot of grief, much of which may be unnecessary. These kinds of cases are much more complicated than, say, Jame Smith." [1] The New York City Police Department did virtually nothing to determine the circumstances under which Dorothy Kilgallen died. Its reports, if such they may be called, reveal that a woman was found dead in a tidy room. Witnesses were not interviewed. No attempt was made to reconstruct the events of the previous night. A lone and singular police procedure was utilized that seemed designed to obviate any possibility of determining what happened to Dorothy after she greeted Harvey Daniels and repaired to her intimate corner at the Regency Lounge. The official version disseminated to the press implied accident. Dr. Luke, who performed the autopsy and certified the death, spoke ex cathedra for his office. His statements combined inept waffling with extraordinary arbitrariness. Luke was interviewed by the New York Herald Tribune for a story that appeared on November 16: Dr. Luke would not speculate about the form in which Miss Kilgallen had taken the barbiturates. "We'd rather leave that up in the air," he said. "We don't want to give that out-well, just because." . . . He said that combining alcohol and sleeping pills was a common form of accidental death. Miss Kilgallen had taken only "moderate amounts" of alcohol and the drug before her death, Dr. Luke said. He wouldn't give any figures.[2] The New York Times had reported on November 10 that a Medical Examiner's report said that Miss Kilgallen died of 'the effects of a combination of alcohol and barbiturates, neither of which had been taken in excessive quantity.'" That same Times piece stated that a bill had been filed for introduction to the New York City Council by Councilman-at-Large Paul O'Dwyer, which would further delimit the disclosing of Medical Examiner's findings in any death because of "the public speculation over the recent death of Dorothy Kilgallen." Dorothy might have commented, as she did when she discovered that the Department of justice deemed information about Lee Harvey Oswald irrelevant to the defense of Jack Rubysay that again, slowly. Did the public have a right to know? To penetrate what was pretty obviously a benign attempt to withhold facts about the death of a Roman Catholic woman? Darkness, alas, is not selective. Pete Hamill wrote an exceedingly Pete Hamill column about Dorothy the day after she died, called "The Celebrity." He said that she had been a superb reporter but that she had stooped to conquer, to become a gossip columnist and a television personality instead, and had grown rueful and lonesome in the end. Hamill did not know Dorothy any better than the sentinels of darkness who watched over the truth at 45 East Sixty-eighth Street. He quoted a friend of hers, who said, "Hell, she even died alone." Hamill concluded his piece: "She died in her five-story townhouse . . . in one of the twenty-two rooms, next to one of her eighteen telephones."[3]

-Caveat Lector- An excerpt from: Kilgallen Lee Israel©1979 Delacorte Press New York, NY ISBN 0-440-04522-3 --[4]-- What happened to Dorothy? She might have committed suicide. When Pearl Bauer and Miss Muller, who had returned from Germany to be with the family after she heard about Dorothy's death, were instructed to ferret through Dorothy's effects, Mrs. Bauer came upon some jottings in her late employer's handwriting. "They were all about the reason for living and if there was a reason for living," Mrs. Bauer recalled. I had the feeling that they were connected to a newspaperman she knew somewhere in [she named a midwestern state]. I had more or less suspected that someone out there had caught her fancy. I showed the paper to the nurse, and she suggested that we dispose of it." [42] If Dorothy was driven to an intentional act of self-destruction, there would seem to have been only one person in her life whose acts could have provoked her. And he is the Outof-Towner. If, in fact, he was at the Regency that night, he might have done it with a few drunken, rejecting words. If he was not at the Regency, it could have happened over the telephone. If, indeed, he carries this burden with him, this could explain why he remains so insistent upon the platonic nature of their relationship, why he goes so far as to stress Dorothy's acceptance of her role as fifth wheel-an assertion that anyone who knew her well and understood the depths of her feelings for him would gainsay. The press agent from Carrara, "Mitch," recalled that she grew sullen and despondent when she saw him out with another woman in a New York restaurant, some months before her death.[43] When I first interviewed the Out-of-Towner, I was not yet aware of Dorothy's heady and euphoric talk with Marlin Swing at Delmonico's. I had not yet spoken to the person who handled room arrangements at the Regency in 1965 and confirmed to me that Dorothy was in the lounge on the night of her death. Though that individual had not seen Dorothy, she recalled vividly that the hotel staff was shocked to hear about Dorothy; that there was a great deal of talk about the fact that she had been there on the night of her death. The Out-of-Towner had contended, during our initial talks, that he was not in New York on Sunday, November 7; that he and Dorothy chatted unextraordinarily at about 12:30 A.M., just before she died, he in his home and she in hers. It was, he said, "a vanilla conversation." 'With new awareness and growing dubiety, I questioned him again about the nature of their relationship. These are excerpts from the conversation: SUBJECT: There was some indication that it was special on her part. I kept that in line, if you can understand that. And we remained, literally to the night of her death, very, very dear friends . . . It certainly was not a passing fancy, our relationship; on the other hand, it was not a love affair, either, unless you want to make your terms very loose. LEE ISRAEL: No, I don't want to make my terms very loose. I want to know what she was believing and what she was fantasizing. SUBJECT: . . . We were very close in that we talked long-distance several times a week at least; and I saw her frequently. And I have every reason to believe that she liked me a great deal and needed something to love. I don't think that she wasquotein love with me. I think there's a possibility that for a short time she thought it. But we did work that out. LEE ISRAEL: How did you work it out? SUBJECT: Just by saying, "This is silly." And I told her, "I'm not in love with you. I love you. You're my friend." It would frequently come up. It was not infrequent that she would have been drinking. It would be late at night, by the nature of both our jobs, and some of the conversations were not as coherent as I would have liked them to be. I'm having trouble interpreting the questions. LEE ISRAEL: She told friendsand their revelations put a new slant on thingsthat she was having a relationship; and they took that to mean a reciprocal relationship. SUBJECT (laughing): After Salzburg, she-very early in our relationship-indicated that there was love there. And I tried to direct that love. Again, I come out smelling like a hero. And that's not the way it was. It was silly for her, for me, for us, for anyone to indicate a romance in the truer sense of the word. she did, in fact, go on dates when I had a date with another person. LEE ISRAEL: That had been my impression. I remember your telling me that there were times when she, sadly, was a fifth wheel, and was aware of your situation. SUBJECT: There are several nights that stand out. And one was when she really had to go to bed. First, she told me she had to get up in the morning very early. And I was out with a lady. And we dropped her off at home. She had a few drinks, but wasn't drunk. And she said, "Why can't I go with you?" Not meaning me, but us. It was a group. And I said, "Now, Dorothy, no.
[CTRL] Fwd: Clinton Admin. Refuses To Release China-Gate Docs
http://www.softwar.net/thenews.html
The Clinton administration has reneged on its agreement to
deliver CHINA-GATE documents in a Federal Court case in
Richmond, Virginia. On April 23, 1999, the DOJ attorney
representing Commerce promised to deliver a required index of
secret materials in a motion before Federal Judge Robert Payne,
requesting more time.
On April 29, 1999, the Dept. of Justice Attorney representing
the Commerce Dept. issued a notice to the Court that it has
withdrawn its motion to deliver a "Vaughn Index" or index of
classified documents that are being withheld. The DOJ attorney
claimed the index was rendered "moot" by the Judge's order for
the Commerce Dept. to deliver all the documents to him behind
closed doors ("in camera"), including a full explaination of why
each document should be withheld.
According to the motion from the Clinton administration, there
are now an unknown number of Commerce documents being withheld
from public release for unspecified reasons. The Commerce Dept.
now intends to withhold more information from the public than it
would normally release on an ordinary Freedom of Information Act
request. The move, if accepted, might effectively gut the
Freedom of Information Act, allowing agencies not to respond
even if taken to court.
However, the move by the Commerce Dept. was not un-expected.
Within hours of being notified, this reporter filed a
counter-motion with the Federal Court. This reporter had
previously requested the index of secret document, citing a
previous case that provides for the Commerce Dept. to provide
some explanation for the documents they are refusing to release.
According to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit Vaughn v. Rosen, the defendant agency bears the burden
of sustaining its action of withholding records.
This reporter also protested the incomplete and shoddy job that
was done by the Commerce Dept. For example, one document
released in 1998 by the Commerce Dept. appears to be partially
withheld or lost this time around. The Commerce Dept. could
only find the second to last page of a nine page Defense Dept.
report, a list of the Chinese and American Directors of the high
tech fiber optic transfer to the PLA.
The list is topped by "Madam Nie Li" who was identified in a
Congressional Reporting Service Report as "Lt. General Nie Li"
of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Madam General Nie is
also the wife of PLA spymaster, General Ding Henggao, former
commander of the Chinese Commission on Science, Technology and
Industry for National Defense (COSTIND).
This reporter can't be certain if the Judge is viewing the full
nine page DOD report behind closed doors. Without the "Vaughn"
index there is no way to be sure if the Commerce Dept. is
trying to classify documents already released.
Clearly, the Commerce Dept. did not inspect the SOFTWAR lawsuit
submitted in 1998. The entire DOD document was provided by this
reporter as evidence. Additional documents from the Commerce
Dept. supplied as evidence were also ignored.
For example, the Commerce Dept. has not supplied any information
on a 1994 meeting between Secretary Ron Brown, Loral CEO Bernard
Schwartz and Chinese General Shen of COSTIND. Commerce also has
not supplied information on the well documented meetings with
PLA missile engineers and U.S. space contractor Hughes.
However, above all, the Commerce Dept. forgot to include copies
of any pictures, videos or tape recordings taken at meetings
with the Chinese Army. According to one recently released
document supplied by the Commerce Dept., photographers from both
sides attended meetings between Chinese Army Generals and
Clinton administration officials.
The meeting was held in Beijing in August of 1994. The meeting
included a Major General who was also PLA Deputy Director of
Intelligence. The meeting also included Defense Secretary Perry
and PLA spymaster General Ding Henggao. General Ding is also
the husband of Lt. General "Madam" Nie Li, the Chinese co-chair
of the Hua Mei deal listed in the missing DOD document from
1996.
The two motions are now before Judge Robert Payne, who has the
all the secret Commerce documents that Commerce turned over on
April 23, 1999.

[CTRL] America, Haven for War Criminals
-Caveat Lector- Alleged War Criminals in U.S. BOSTON (AP) -- Alleged war criminals have found a safe haven in the United States in recent years, under the noses of immigration officials and sometimes with help from the U.S. government, The Boston Globe reported today. The newspaper said it found evidence that people from countries including Haiti and El Salvador, and people involved in the breakup of Yugoslavia, have settled in this country and begun new lives, despite evidence of their involvement in serious human rights abuses. The list includes three alleged participants in ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia; several former associates of Somali strongman Mohammed Siad Barre; 16 Haitian military officers; and a Salvadoran general accused of covering up the massacre of four American churchwomen in 1980, according to the Globe. ``I was a member of the Haitian army high command,'' said Carl Dorelien, a former head of personnel for the 7,000-member army that seized power from President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991 and killed as many as 4,000 civilians. ``I lived like a king in my country.'' Dorelien, who now lives in a resort community in Port St. Lucie, Fla., won $3.2 million in a Florida lottery in 1997. At the time, lottery officials described him as a penniless immigrant and political refugee. But Dorelien says the U.S. military got him a five-year visa after the corrupt Haitian army was forced from power in 1994 by 20,000 U.S. troops. Fifteen other Haitian military officers have since joined him in the United States and are living mainly in New York and Florida, he said. Dan Cadman, chief of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's national security unit, said his agency is concerned about the problem of human rights offenders taking shelter here. But he said it is relatively rare. ``The concern is deep, but that doesn't necessarily suggest there is a widespread problem,'' Cadman said. The U.S. government has invested millions of dollars in a program to hunt down Nazis who slipped into the country after World War II. But some human rights monitors say more recent war criminals have been overlooked. ``It's in the thousands,'' said Gerald Gray, who last year founded the Center for Justice and Accountability to track down human rights violators and bring them to justice. The San Francisco-based center has filed lawsuits against two alleged war criminals -- a Bosnian Serb refugee living in Atlanta who allegedly tortured prisoners and a former Chilean secret police officer living in Miami accused of torturing and executing a former government official. ``It is really appalling to think that the United States has become the retirement home of choice for murderers and despots,'' said William Ford, a New York attorney whose sister Ita, a nun, was killed by members of the Salvadoran National Guard.

A re-print from WAR (White Aryan Resistance), Box 65, Fallbrook, CA 92088. Website - www.resist.com Introduction I started writing this piece with the idea of explaining a phenomenon that I think is going to be an important part of the future of America. I believe that a new institution will rise, at a time not too distant from now. That institution will be violent, racist, and for profit. In order to better depict it's nature, I have called it the Aryan Mafia. I believe the Aryan Mafia will take form, as much as I believe that Mexicans will keep coming to the United States, people on welfare will continue having illegitimate babies, Jews will make new movies and California will have more earthquakes, after-shocks, and flooding. I know that many traditional thinking, CONservative types and orthodox right-wingers may find this idea abhorrent, and I can not argue with that. This concept of the Aryan Mafia may indeed be abhorrent because it will present us with attitudes and patterns of conduct that we have been programmed to reject. Nevertheless, the statas quo may be just as abhorrent. Additionally, I believe that the Aryan Mafia will get started by a natural process of it's own. I think that nothing can be done to precipitate it's formation, as I believe nothing can be done to prevent it from happening. The Aryan Mafia is, in my observation, a certain thing, just as ethnic strife in the Balkans was a certain thing for syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan in the late 1980s, when he wrote that now Yugoslavia was heading toward an ethnic civil war. In the old days, there were men who forecasted the growth of the Sicilian Mafia in America and it's impact on an already established way of life. The Aryan Mafia will be the natural rejection of a dying racial body as it starts showing strong vital signs. It will be rough and it will be criminal. There will be winners and losers as well as innocent victims. Above all, the Aryan Mafia will be a sign of it"s times. Like an irregular army, it will have warlords and soldiers, performing tasks in a time of chaos and having disregard for authority or any form of government representation. It's members will favor ridiculously over-priced HKs, will drive expensive American cars (Vipers, Corvettes, top-of-the-line Jeeps, etc:) and will embrace White Power Rock 'n Roll with as much enthusiasm as some minorities have already embraced Gangsta Rappers. In other words, they will spend a great deal of their resources on self-indulgence like the ancient Aryan warriors once did, and their female companions will most probably be the most gorgeous women our race has to offer. They will be young, strong, arrogant and they will have an unstoppable desire to take the world by storm and make it theirs, the old-fashioned way, with force. My opinion for this crescendo of Aryan crime can be substantiated by current statistics which reflect that White crime is the fastest rising crime in America. This growth will develop according to the nature of the Aryan: at one point it will become orderly. Putting this forecast in writing has proven to be a greater and more time consuming effort than I had initially thought. Therefore, I have decided to release partial chapters, as I approach a conclusion to this socio-racial forecast. America's Castes America has been a caste society for quite a long time. There is, however, no official document pronouncing America as a caste society just as there is no document pronouncing America a democracy. On paper, America is a republic and everybody is equal under the law, and we are all one big happy family. In reality, we are not all equal under the law as we are not all equal in the political arena. Then again, there is no official document pronouncing Ted Turner more

Contrary to the President's statement that he will continue this war, he has no authority to do so. It would be a remarkable act of executive hubris and illegal as well to continue the bombing. It is a serious subversion of our constitutional structure (and is impeachable). His only option is to end the aerial bombardment and negotiate a peaceful solution."

[CTRL] Children attacked by flesh-eating bacteria after taking medicine
-Caveat Lector- http://www.suntimes.co.za:80/1999/05/02/news/news07.htm - 02 May 1999 Children attacked by flesh-eating bacteria after taking medicine ANDRE JURGENS CHILDREN with chickenpox who are fed over-the-counter painkillers run the risk of being infected by a deadly flesh-eating bacterium. Doctors say the only way to treat the aggressive bacterium - which dissolves human flesh - is by amputating infected limbs and treating patients with antibiotics. The dangerous link between household medication, chickenpox and the bacterium was exposed in a medical alert to doctors this week. "Virtually every child in the country will be exposed to chickenpox at some or other time," said Dr Stephen Toovey of Medinfo, an organisation run by South African doctors which monitors international medical trends and research. "This flesh-eating bug causes rapid tissue destruction, and entire limbs can be lost within a matter of hours," he said. "Amputation and a high dose of antibiotics offer the only hope of survival." His warning was triggered by the results of a recent study of children who were hospitalised within three weeks of an attack of chickenpox in the US. Dr Danielle Zerr, of the Children's Hospital in Seattle, headed a team of scientists who compared 19 children stricken with the bacterium with 29 control children. Those infected were 10 times more likely to have been given ibuprofen as a painkiller. Ibuprofen is sold under a number of brand names in South Africa, including Brufen and Nurofen. However, the study found that children given paracetamol were not infected. "In the light of these findings it would be prudent to avoid Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories in children suffering from chickenpox," said Toovey. "Paracetamol is equally effective at relieving pain and fever and appears to be safer in this condition," he said. Paracetamol is available locally as Panado, Calpol and Fevambol. The bacterium - officially known as necrotising fasciitis - enters the body through tiny openings or cuts in the skin and can be lethal if not quickly diagnosed. It is an infection which comes from the same family of bacteria that causes common strep throat. Aching pain, nausea and swollen rashes usually appear within 24 hours of infection. Critical symptoms, including a severe drop in blood pressure as the body goes into shock, develop within four days. According to the Biological Committee for the Medicines Control Council, there is no chickenpox vaccine in South Africa, although one has been submitted for registration. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Kosovo Recap (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- KOSOVO RECAP (CNNS, 05/03/99) -- In case you are tuning in late, here is our story thus far . . . . ** August 1995: As many as 500,000 ethnic Serbs were brutally driven from Croatia. Many of these Serbs "fell prey to the depredations of merciless paramilitary death squads, who committed hideous acts of plunder, rape, and mass murder." [1] This Croatian military campaign of "ethnic cleansing" was *assisted* -- not challenged -- by NATO. Also helping the Croats was Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI), "a private military and intelligence consulting firm based in Virginia..." [2] ** February 1996: George Soros, international financial gambler and responsible, many believe, for ruining several Asian currencies, learns that Serbia has annulled his financial front, the Soros Fund, in their country. The Serbian Supreme Court rules that the Soros Fund can no longer operate in Yugoslavia. [3] Is Soros connected in some way with Kissinger Associates? ** October 1998: "Upon the talks of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic with special American envoy Richard Holbrooke, in October 1998, and upon the agreement to resolve the problems in Kosovo and Metohia in a peaceful way and by political means, the Serbian government adopted on October 13, Principles for Political Solution of Problems in Kosovo and Metohia." [4]. Might there have been peace? Perhaps, except that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) thereupon began a terror campaign, randomly attacking, wounding and killing Serb policemen. [5]. The KLA, "which the Clinton administration has embraced and some members of Congress want to arm as part of the NATO bombing campaign, is a terrorist organization that has financed much of its war effort with profits from the sale of heroin," says an article in today's Washington Times newspaper. [6]. (Note to Dan "Sleepy" Rather: Wake up and smell the coffee; there's a story here.) Following the KLA's terror campaign against Serb police, the police naturally launch a counter-attack against the KLA. *At that point*, a propaganda assault by KLA, who were in turn helped by a Washington, DC media consulting firm, succeeded in demonizing the Serbs, at least in the minds of many. ** January 1999: News of a so-called "Racak Massacre" explodes. But the purported Racak Massacre turns out to have been a fake, a set-up, staged for an either gullible or even complicit mass media. (See CNNS 03/25/99, "Kosovo Drugs Target 'Christian Infidels.'") Yet the "Racak Massacre" serves the purpose of igniting war hysteria. The question to be asked is, Are Clinton, Cohen and Albright possibly so gullible that they bought the "Racak Massacre" story hook, line and sinker? Can the elite White House trio really be that gullible? A scarey thought. ** March 1999: U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright tries to "negotiate" the Rambouillet Agreement. Albright's methods of "negotiation" are Neanderthal: "Sign it, or we'll bomb the sh** out of you." Don Feder, writing in the Boston Herald newspaper, compares Albright's "diplomacy" to that of a Mafia chieftain: "Doing a bad imitation of Vito Corleone at Rambouillet, Albright told the Serbs she would have either their signatures or their brains on the peace accord." [7] But the Serbs will not surrender their homeland, so on March 24, 1999, NATO begins a "rain of terror," bombing Yugoslavia. The NATO operation, called "Operation Allied Force," has the apt initials O-A-F, notes journalist John McLaughlin. ** April 1999: Reverse speech analysis by David Oates reveals Bill Clinton saying as follows: "There's famine down the way / Elf bomb Serb." It turns out, a month later, that famine is indeed imminent in Kosovo. As to "Elf bombs," this may signify high-tech electromagnetic frequency weaponry of some type. A reader has contacted CNNS and offered the following information: The NATO must get a better light in the world. This can be only with HIGH TECH! From Feb.99 to April.99, 14 satellites go into orbit.Official communication-satellites, but is it real? It can be microwave-weapons which can make an earthquake. ** May 1999: Newsweek set to report on imminent famine in Kosovo. Crisis in Albanian refugee camps. Can Albanians really return safely to their homeland, now that Depleted Uranium weapons have possibly contaminated the region? What "homes" do these refugees now have to go back to? Mirjana Markovic, wife of Serb president Slobodan Milosevic, grants interview to "Sleepy Dan" Rather, of CBS's "60 Minutes" program. Markovic comes across as highly credible when she says, for example, "Yugoslavia is defending its territory... Albanians would never

[CTRL] US greens want beefed-up UN (BBC)
-Caveat Lector- http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_332000/332748.stm US greens want beefed-up UN By Environment Correspondent Alex Kirby The Worldwatch Institute says the unfolding humanitarian disaster in the Balkans has exposed the inadequacies of international attempts to keep the peace. The Institute, an environmental research group based in Washington DC, says the Balkan conflict dramatises "the need for an entirely new approach to security policy in the post-Cold War world". An Institute report, "Ending Violent Conflict", says 110 million people have died in wars this century. It says that is three times as many people as died in all the wars between the first century AD and 1899. Most wars in the last half century have been internal ones: in the last decade, 97 out of 103 armed conflicts were internal. Since 1945, civilians have accounted for 70% of all war casualties, with the figure rising to more than 90% in the 1990s. Disarmament and mediation Given this change in the nature of conflict, the report argues for a combination of approaches: Seeking disarmament Promoting conflict prevention and mediation Establishing permanent peacekeeping forces Protecting human rights Prosecuting war crimes Revitalising global institutions like the United Nations and the World Court But it says these measures need to be linked to a broader human security agenda which recognises the underlying causes of conflict - poverty, inequality, ethnic tensions, population growth and environmental damage. The report says pointedly: "Military means are usually inappropriate for humanitarian action and largely irrelevant for peacemaking efforts. "They absorb resources that could be better used for conflict prevention." Prevention better than cure Although it is often hard to prevent conflict, it is very much harder to end fighting once large-scale bloodshed has happened. So the report's author, Michael Renner, calls for investment in an array of preventive mechanisms. These include building early conflict detection networks; setting up an international corps of skilled roving mediators; and positioning peacekeeping forces between opposing sides. Unequal distribution More fundamentally, he says, preventing conflicts is about recognising and tackling the pressures that lead to violence, from unequal wealth distribution to environmental degradation. Mr Renner says non-governmental organisations have achieved some notable recent successes, with the adoption of treaties to outlaw anti-personnel landmines and to establish an international criminal court. They are now working to launch a campaign against small-arms proliferation, and to move towards the abolition of nuclear weapons. He says weapons spread indiscriminately across the planet during the Cold War are military leftovers, "a source of cheap and easily available arms tempting people to rely on violence to resolve conflicts". And he says the growing integration of the global economy will not necessarily lead to more international co-operation. "Globalisation itself carries the potential for tension and conflict, because the benefits and burdens are distributed in such spectacularly uneven fashion." = Robert F.

[CTRL] Wellstone Proposal
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.commondreams.org/pressreleases/may99/050399h.htm MAY 3, 1999 4:12 PM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: US Senator Paul Wellstone www.senate.gov/~wellstone/ Jim Farrell or Andrew McDonald 202/224-8440 Wellstone Proposes Conditional Pause In NATO Bombings To Bolster Diplomatic Effort WASHINGTON - May 3 - Senator Paul Wellstone called today for NATO to consider a brief, conditional and verifiable halt to the air campaign against Yugoslavia in order to improve the environment for diplomatic discussions now underway. In a speech to the Senate proposing the idea, Wellstone condemned the atrocities and ethnic cleansing committed against innocent Kosovars by the Milosevic regime. He stressed that any plan for a bombing halt would have to be linked to the assured safety of NATO troops, and to immediate, reciprocal action by Serbian forces, including stopping their attacks on Kosovar civilians and beginning their withdrawal from Kosovo. Wellstone also expressed support for Russian engagement in negotiations to end the crisis, and greater U.S. humanitarian aid for the refugees. "I voted, six weeks ago, to authorize the United States participation in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. I did so because it was my judgment that we had exhausted every diplomatic possibility, and that our best and most credible information was that without NATO military action, a humanitarian disaster was beginning to occur. I had no doubt about the wisdom and correctness of our decision. My rationale for supporting the airstrikes was a simple one: inaction in the face of unspeakable, imminent, and preventable violence, including horrific atrocities that continue even now, was absolutely unacceptable. In short, the slaughter must be stopped. I have no regrets about that decision," Wellstone said. "I think it's time for all the parties to consider a brief and verifiable time-out before we proceed further down the slippery slope of further military action, and before it's too late to turn back. With former Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin and the President talking today, what I am proposing for consideration--if it can be worked out in a way which would protect NATO troops, and would not risk Serb resupply of their war machine--is a brief and verifiable halt in the bombing, a cessation of what seems to be a slide toward the bombing of a broader array of non-military targets, a potential oil embargo directed at other countries, and deeper involvement in a wider war that I believe we could come to regret." "I am not naive about whether we can trust Milosevic; we have seen him break his word too many times for that. Nor am I proposing an open-ended halt in our effort. But rather a temporary pause of 48 hours or so, offered on condition that Milosevic not be allowed to use the period to resupply troops or to repair his air defenses, and that he immediately orders his forces in Kosovo to halt their attacks and begin to actually withdraw. It would not require his formal prior assent to each of these conditions, but if our intelligence and other means of verification concludes that he is taking military advantage of such a pause by doing any of these things, then we should resume the bombing. I believe that we may need to take the first step, a gesture, in the effort to bring these horrors to an end." "Such a pause may well be worthwhile; if it works to prompt a cessation of the ethnic cleansing and a return of Serb forces to their garrisons, it may create the conditions for the possibility of further talks on the conditions under which NATO's longer-term goals, which I support, can be met." "A brief cessation might also enable non-governmental organizations and other `true neutrals' in the conflict to airlift or truck in, and then distribute, relief supplies to the internally-displaced Kosovars who are homeless and starving in the mountains of Kosovo, without the threat of this humanitarian mission being halted by the Serbian military. A Serb guarantee of their safe conduct would be an important reciprocal gesture on the part of Milosevic. These people must be rescued, and my hope is that a temporary bombing pause might help to enable aid organizations to get to them." "For fifty years, we have spent the blood and treasure of Americans and Europeans to help provide for a stable, peaceful Europe. I believe we must again work with the Europeans -- and now with the Russians and others who have historic ties to the Serbs -- to try to resolve this crisis before the flames of war in Kosovo and of the refugee exodus which it has prompted consume the region. Stepped-up diplomacy, a possible pause in the airstrikes, and other similar efforts to bring a peaceful and just end to this crisis should be pursued right now," Wellstone said. ### NewsCenter | NewsWire Contacting Us © Copyrighted 1997-1999.

[CTRL] A Modest Proposal
-Caveat Lector- At the risk of being massively flamed, I am compelled by a sense of intellectual honesty to propose that the time has come to repeal the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. What is at issue is not some supposed innate right to keep and bear arms. What is at issue is the culture of violence that puts firearms on a pedestal and worships them. What is at issue is the culture of violence that insists on "getting even" instead of resolving conflicts. Two hundred years ago, it might have been possible to defend yourself against an oppressive government by shooting the excise agent. But that just isn't possible today--nor is it desirable. The world is too complex a place today, and the weapons at the government's disposal too powerful, for so simplistic a solution to work. You have no more right to keep and bear arms than you have to own and operate an automobile. All property "rights" are contingent on the permission of the state; the state grants such rights, and the state can take away those rights if circumstances warrant. I submit that the time has come when we, as a society, can no longer afford to permit individuals to own and use firearms. Further, I submit that firearms manufacturers are primarily responsible for the *illegal* sale of firearms, and should therefore be subjected to stringent governmental regulation and limited to production of firearms for the armed services of the United States. If the gun lobby insists on labeling this proposal as a conspiracy to undermine citizens' "rights," I will respond by suggesting that the gun lobby itself is part of an elaborate conspiracy to undermine the lawful authority of the United States government, substituting the rule of force for the rule of law. Surely, if a secret supranational organization such as the Illuminati really exists, whose objective is to submerge all national identities in a global culture, eliminating national governments in favor of a strengthened United Nations, then they would choose to work *not* through the Federal government...but through organizations and individuals who want to weaken the U.S. government to the point where it effectively no longer exists. Such a conspiracy would be much more likely to use a group like the NRA or the Libertarian Party than the FBI or the BATF as its instrument. Let me repeat my proposal: the time has come to repeal the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Doing so would demonstrate more clearly than any other possible action that the people of the United States have genuinely grown up, that we are now mature enough that we do not need the crutch of firearms to maintain our self-esteem.

[CTRL] A Modest Proposal
-Caveat Lector- At the risk of being massively flamed, I am compelled by a sense of what I can only call spiritual and emotional maturity to propose that the time has come to repeal the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. What is at issue is not some supposed innate right to keep and bear arms. What is at issue is the culture of violence that puts firearms on a pedestal and worships them. What is at issue is the culture of violence that insists on "getting even" instead of resolving conflicts. Two hundred years ago, it might have been possible to defend yourself against an oppressive government by shooting the excise agent. But that just isn't possible today--nor is it desirable. The world is too complex a place today, and the weapons at the government's disposal too powerful, for so simplistic a solution to work. You have no more right to keep and bear arms than you have to own and operate an automobile. All property "rights" are contingent on the permission of the state; the state grants such rights, and the state can take away those rights if circumstances warrant. I submit that the time has come when we, as a society, can no longer afford to permit individuals to own and use firearms. Further, I submit that firearms manufacturers are primarily responsible for the *illegal* sale of firearms, and should therefore be subjected to stringent governmental regulation and limited to production of firearms for the armed services of the United States. If the gun lobby insists on labeling this proposal as a conspiracy to undermine citizens' "rights," I will respond by suggesting that the gun lobby itself is part of an elaborate conspiracy to undermine the lawful authority of the United States government, substituting the rule of force for the rule of law. Surely, if a secret supranational organization such as the Illuminati really exists, whose objective is to submerge all national identities in a global culture, eliminating national governments in favor of a strengthened United Nations, then they would choose to work *not* through the Federal government...but through organizations and individuals who want to weaken the U.S. government to the point where it effectively no longer exists. Such a conspiracy would be much more likely to use a group like the NRA or the Libertarian Party than the FBI or the BATF as its instrument. Let me repeat my proposal: the time has come to repeal the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Doing so would demonstrate more clearly than any other possible action that the people of the United States have genuinely grown up, that we are now mature enough that we do not need the crutch of firearms to maintain our self-esteem.

Re: [CTRL] Flaw in Capitalist system
-Caveat Lector- "The idea of 'free contract' between the potentate and his starving subject is a sick joke..." http://www.zmag.org/chomsky/interviews/9612-anarchism.html Interview: "Noam Chomsky on Anarchism" by Tom Lane, December 23, 1996 snip 5. Many "anarcho-capitalists" claim that anarchism means the freedom to do what you want with your property and engage in free contract with others. Is capitalism in any way compatible with anarchism as you see it? Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system which, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented, because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error. The idea of "free contract" between the potentate and his starving subject is a sick joke, perhaps worth some moments in an academic seminar exploring the consequences of (in my view, absurd) ideas, but nowhere else. I should add, however, that I find myself in substantial agreement with people who consider themselves anarcho-capitalists on a whole range of issues; and for some years, was able to write only in their journals. And I also admire their commitment to rationality -- which is rare -- though I do not think they see the consequences of the doctrines they espouse, or their profound moral failings. The following re-post is worth re-pondering as well http://home.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9812DL=ctrlD=0P=32190 Subject: Re: [CTRL] vs. socialism, vs. capitalism, what now?

This has been an interesting discussion. I doubt we're going to find ourselves all simultaneously agreeing to one single perfect economic solution anytime soon, but I think it's very important to discuss this type of thing along with the various other abuses and manipulations of power discussed on CTRL. Disagreements aside, how can we expect to actually have a positive impact on the status quo unless we mentally hack the system, as well as our own preconceptions? When I said "slightly mixed," I wasn't trying to deny that we live in Babylon, and that we cannot escape Babylon's grip (Babylon as a metaphorical representation of the United States). You cannot operate a "business" of any substantial sort without entangling yourself with the government, and you cannot gain employment legally without paying taxes, which go to support all sorts of nasty stuff that people generally wouldn't approve of if they realized what was actually going on. The question is, are you one of the few who the system is built to serve, or are you one of the rabble which the system feeds upon? I guess that's what I meant by "slightly mixed," in the sense (quoth Noam Chomsky) that we have in effect a form of state socialism for the rich, with free markets reserved for the poor. Those who are able to claw their way out of the free market and gain entry to the "top of the pyramid club" will, on the way, learn all the bloodthirsty tricks necessary to maintain their prosperous new positions. The social rot begins to smell like roses; decay becomes new growth; crisis becomes opportunity. Corporate execs draw $250,000 paychecks with $100,000 bonuses on a bad year (and blow every dime of it, saving surprisingly little), while the kids in the public housing project down the road have to put plywood over their windows because all the glass has been broken out. But the system (any mass system) is perpetuated by building a conceptual "box" (laws, regulations, social controls, etc.), then tricking and/or forcing as many people as possible to stay within the box. Automatically the perpetuation of this system becomes its primary occupation; that's a given. There is no system that can be built which will be able to withstand the probing of those who seek to use it to their own advantage. Maybe the revolution will come one day, but even if it did, would anything new really come along? The real revolution is within each of us -- the systematic individual process of eliminating one's own contradictions, false values and preconceptions. We have been conditioned since birth in a rancid sea of lies, contradictory messages, dead ends, and greed-inspired motivations. We must deprogram ourselves, dig deep into our own souls, and determine what exactly it is we want to do in these 70-some-odd years that most of us are given on this earth. Only when we have cleansed ourselves of
[CTRL] Energy, Physics, and Soda Pop
-Caveat Lector- Energy, Physics, and Soda Pop by Declan McCullagh 3:00 a.m. 3.May.99.PDT BETHESDA, Maryland -- David Wallman deftly slides the dark glass shield into place in front of his carbon-arc machine and tells his audience to step away. "Don't look directly at it from the side," Wallman warns. He flips a switch. The light is blinding. The machine begins to bubble and froth as 40 amps of current leap the gap between two carbon rods and electrify the sugar water that fills the tank. Those very special bubbles -- Wallman calls them carbo-hydrogen gas -- will, he hopes, change the world. When burned, the gas produces much less pollution than gasoline, and it may prove cheaper to manufacture. The former Hewlett-Packard electrical engineer rattles off a laundry list of possible uses by consumers and industry. A clean new fuel for cars. Revolutionary power generation. A supplement to solar panels for remote homesteaders. But the most intriguing result of Wallman's demonstration is that it seems to violate the laws of physics by generating more energy than it consumes. As any college chemistry student knows, that should be impossible. Your car's internal combustion engine wastes about three-quarters of the energy in the fuel it burns when you drive down the road. And it guzzles even more when you step on the gas. It never, ever creates more energy. If Wallman's calculations are correct, the only explanation is that some form of a small-scale nuclear reaction is taking place inside that bubbling tank. Serious scientists have admitted they can't explain the results in any other way, especially the presence of helium in the gas -- an element that didn't exist in the sugar-water solution. If it works, Wallman's process would not quite be cold fusion, since the temperatures in that brilliant carbon arc reach 7,200° F. Perhaps it's cool fusion instead. Wallman is one of a legion of garage researchers who gathered Saturday in a ramshackle Holiday Inn in Bethesda, Maryland, at the first Conference on Future Energy. Some presenters are careful engineers hoping to attract investors. Others ooze the unwholesome patina of snake-oil salesman hoping to make a fast buck. Cold fusion advocates hope vindication is finally about to arrive. All believe the media, government, and academia ignore, either accidentally or deliberately, honest-to-goodness scientific advances. Paul Pantone is more convinced than most. During his presentation he drops hints of a tenebrous conspiracy that has barred him from marketing a revolutionary power source that looks just like a metal doughnut wrapped in black electrical tape. It can power a normal light bulb using "the energy around us," Pantone says, but "there's a specific pattern of north-south" with which it must be aligned. If there's anyone in the audience who wants to sign up as distributors, Pantone seems willing to talk. But there's a catch: To sell this new power source, you first have to sign up as a distributor and sell other Pantone products until it becomes available. The other products? Well, there's Pantone's GEET engine. He says it runs off "junk fuel" -- various slurries of paint thinner, crude oil, gasoline, Sprite, or Mountain Dew. If you yank your carburetor and replace it with a GEET device, you may double your car's gas mileage, he says. With the fervor of a reborn religious leader, Pantone denounces the powers that be that bar him from spreading the gospel of GEET beyond lectures at public schools near his Salt Lake City home. "In the Christian community, you know what? They welcome you," Pantone says. Someone who has followed Pantone's US$75 step-by-step conversion instructions has wheeled their GEETized lawnmower into the small hotel conference room. Copper tubing races crazily around the engine, dips into the exhaust pipe, and ends in a Mason jar stuffed with steel wool and gasoline. Pantone claims the hot exhaust creates a magnetic field and a "plasma reaction" that eliminates pollution. He asks his wife Molley to explain the details of his discovery. She volunteers that she took a college-level physics class and received a C+. Then she realized that everything she learned was upside down. "These laws that are in our physics books are truly wrong," she says. The audience is suitably impressed. "I am in awe!" one person exclaims. Pantone stresses the virtues of his ostensibly pollution-free contraption. "We've got some vehicles where we have cleaner exhaust than the air around the vehicle," Pantone brags. Then comes the demonstration. The lawnmower rattles and roars to life, belching fumes into the enclosed space. Mountain Dew is poured into the Mason jar, and the beleaguered motor splutters but keeps on running. The stench worsens, and some people cough and leave the room. Much of the audience, though, is undeterred. They gather around the stinking, wheezing mower and stare at it as if it were an alien artifact recently recovered from Area
[CTRL] Electromagnetic Bomb Used in Belgrade?
-Caveat Lector- A Pentagon spokesman said today that the weapon used to attack the electric facilities in Belgrade is "highly classified" and capable of disorienting the computer systems and electronic equipment. A CNN reporter said the bomb exploded *above* the electrical facility and then began shorting the facility. This was almost certainly an electromagnetic bomb.
