Nato admits air campaign failed
By Tim Butcher and Patrick Bishop

NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia had almost no military effect on
the regime of President Milosevic, which gave in only after Russia withdrew
its diplomatic backing.
This is the gloomy assessment of a private, preliminary review by Nato
experts of the alliance's 78-day Operation Allied Force bombing campaign
against Yugoslavia over Kosovo.

At the same time, British diplomats have concluded that Milosevic had no
intention of honouring any diplomatic agreement which reduced his hold on
Kosovo - despite his vaunted willingness to enter the negotiations at
Rambouillet and the peace talks in Paris which preceded the bombing
campaign. The experts nevertheless judge that, diplomatically and
politically, the operation was a success because the 19-member alliance
remained united throughout and left Belgrade so isolated that it was forced
to submit to Nato's terms.

Despite the outcome, preliminary inquiries into the war are revealing some
uncomfortable truths for soldiers and politicians seeking lessons from the
Kosovo operation. Their findings will shape new military and diplomatic
approaches as to how the West deals with maverick leaders and rogue states
which confront them in future.

The main finding of the Nato inquiry is that despite the thousands of
bombing sorties, they failed to damage the Yugoslav field army tactically in
Kosovo while the strategic bombing of targets such as bridges and factories
was poorly planned and executed. Changes are being considered within Nato,
including the radical overhaul of how strategic targets are identified and
considered for attack.

Any future operation by Nato is likely to involve heavier, more ruthless
attacks on civilian targets such as power stations and water treatment
plants at an earlier stage of the campaign. There is also an urgent
operational requirement for more sophisticated surveillance equipment
including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to find small hidden tactical
targets such as tanks and artillery pieces. As it was, by parking a tank,
for example, in the ruins of an old house, the Serbs made it invisible from
the air.

A team of Nato bomb damage experts is yet to complete its work on the
ground, but so far the assessment is that only a handful of tanks, guns and
armoured personnel carriers were damaged. Military sources said that it was
likely that the damage would have been greater had the Serb forces been
actively engaged on the ground by the Kosovo Liberation Army and forced into
the open.

Without adequate surveillance assets, including low-level UAVs such as the
British Phoenix system which only arrived in the Balkans in June, Nato was
simply unable to spot well-hidden Serb military units in Kosovo. A wave of
new air-launched missiles, including the RAF's Brimstone, will give Nato
jets a more sophisticated missile for destroying targets on the ground.

The second part of the campaign was the strategic bombing of military
targets, including air defence systems, as well as the civilian
infrastructure of Yugoslavia and the Milosevic regime. Military experts now
concede that by breaking down this part of the campaign into phases, the
alliance made a serious error.

The political leaders of Nato wanted to threaten Belgrade with bombing and
believed that a series of steps would be most effective, because it would
gradually increase the pressure on Milosevic to negotiate. The Yugoslav
leader was told at the outset of the bombing that Phase I targets such as
command bunkers would be hit and that, if he did not comply, he could expect
Phases II and III - which would be wider bombing.

Nato sources now concede that this was an error as Phase I did not cause any
significant military pain to the regime - all the main military assets and
personnel had long been evacuated from obvious targets. Furthermore,
Milosevic was able to use the state-controlled media to prepare the wider
Yugoslav public for a long campaign, kindling a sort of Blitz spirit that
reduced public opposition to his rule.

Nato believes that the bombing in the latter weeks of Operation Allied Force
against bridges, factories and other civilian targets was more effective but
it could have been much more so had it been done earlier.

On the diplomatic front, Foreign Office officials have concluded that
Milosevic never had any intention of co-operating with the outside world to
find a solution to the Kosovo problem that would reduce Serb control of the
province. The undertakings he gave to the American special envoy Richard
Holbrooke last autumn which averted an earlier threat of Nato punishment
were worthless.

They now accept that the numerous ultimatums issued to Milosevic during the
course of the Kosovo crisis should have been backed up with the credible
threat of force. Like Nato, they judge t

Because the Dixiecrat Clinton is a GOP in Demo drag, a southern right-
winger astride a platform barely distinguishable from the GOP mainstream
of Reagan/Bush/Dole/Bush, marginally less Neanderthal than the "social
conservatives" of the GOP's reactionary wing.  His wrongdoings are also
their wrongdoings.  His bribers are their bribers, er, contributors.
Demonizers attribute Communist/Satanist/Reptilioid qualities/motives
to Clinton, disinformation that distracts us from his corporate ties.
Clinton's been good for business, a lot better for business than Old
Bush was or New Bush would be.  Clinton's presided over the biggest
financial boom in history, the greatest drop in gov't employees [and
the greatest jump in gov't contractors], the most prosperous time most
Murkans have ever seen.  His approval rating is still around 2/3.  Well,
duh!  Anyone who's seriously opposed Clinton finds their career heads
towards the toilet, their supporters go elsewhere, fast.  "Exposing his
wrongdoings" is a good way to become irrelevant.  So who expects a
"fearless Republican establishment" to commit political suicide?  He's
their baby; they make innocuous noises, pretend to resist, then run
along to lap up a bit more from the public trough.  Root, pig, root.

For rest of article.

Al Gore’s Vision of Planetary Oneness
by Berit Kjos 

"Al Gore's celebrated new emphasis on ‘religious values’ is as phony as a
three-dollar bill," said WND editor Joseph Farah in his July 16 column. "… I
truly believe Al Gore is the point man in a campaign to set a fatal trap for
America's churches and Christian charities."

Mr. Farah is right. Vice President Gore’s "faith-friendly" campaign hides
beliefs that oppose Christianity and his Baptist roots on every point. The
evidence is in his book, Earth in the Balance - Ecology and the Human
Spirit.1 It calls for a "panreligious perspective" that would squeeze
Christianity into a universalist mold. The old biblical absolutes simply don
’t fit the new global spirituality needed as a foundation for a global
earth-centered ethic. Whether Buddhist, Baha’i, Native American, or
"Christian" (without the cross), each model for this blended spirituality
must be:

[CTRL] The Silence is Deafening by Joseph Farah

[Nicky Molloy]

 -Caveat Lector-

The silence is deafening


The paper trail I had sought to uncover for three years was revealed to the
world yesterday.
It showed that the audit of the Western Journalism Center in 1996 was
initiated by a tip passed on by the White House.

This was, by any standard of newsworthiness, a ground-breaking, explosive
story. Yet, I received no calls from the Associated Press. Not one major
newspaper in the country, besides the Wall Street Journal, which broke the
story simultaneously with WorldNetDaily yesterday, deemed the development
worthy of a follow-up. No congressmen asked to see the Treasury Department
document that proves the link between the White House and IRS audit. Heck,
not even the usually reliable Matt Drudge would let go of his obsessive
coverage of the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. long enough to let his vast
audience know about the story.

Sour grapes? Uh-uh. I would feel the same way about the treatment -- or
mistreatment -- of this story had the audit been directed against some other
journalist than me. I would be as outraged as I am today if the reporters
audited worked for Mother Jones or Human Events. It makes no difference.
When government messes with the First Amendment rights of the press, the
whistle needs to be blown -- loud and clear.

Now, it's no wonder why the president's political cronies don't speak out
about such offenses. To admit that would be to admit they were either
hoodwinked by a crook or taken in by a hustler. No politician wants to make
such an admission. Few want to concede that ideological allies are even
capable of corruption.

But what amazes me -- continually -- is the way this president is given a
free ride by the so-called political opposition.

Let's face it. Bill Clinton would have been political toast a long time ago
had the Republican establishment stood up and fearlessly exposed his
wrongdoings.

Why doesn't that happen?

I'll tell you one reason few are standing up in vocal opposition to the
political abuse of the IRS by the Clinton administration.

Because they are afraid.

They are afraid of probing too deeply into an agency with enormous power and
with a White House that fights back and never seems to go down for the
count.

We all witnessed last year how a pitiful Congress refused to carry out its
responsibility to hold the chief executive accountable for high crimes and
misdemeanors. He'll be gone soon enough, they told us. What harm, they
asked, can he do in another year or two?

History shows us that evil men in power can do an extraordinary amount of
harm in a very short period of time.

One thing that was encouraging about the response to our story yesterday was
the outpouring of concern and support by thousands of people on the
Internet. I appreciate that. It encourages me. But I want to challenge you
all to do more. I am going to ask you to do something I have seldom done in
this space, and that is to write to a public official to express your anger
at the continued abuses of this administration -- not the least of which is
the use of the IRS to target political enemies.

One man who was outraged by my initial accusations about the politicization
of the IRS back in 1996 was Rep. Bill Archer, chairman of the powerful House
Ways and Means Committee and co-chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation.
He immediately dashed off a letter to IRS Commissioner Margaret Milner
Richardson and called for fact-finding hearings into the charges raised
right here.

But, just as quickly, Archer dropped the ball. I went to Washington at my
own expense to testify to his committee. I was met with a lackluster,
perfunctory hour or so of questions by staffers. Not one congressman deemed
the charges significant enough to hear the first-hand story of how the
administration and IRS teamed up to stifle journalists' First Amendment
rights -- yes, in America, in the 1990s.

So, what am I asking you to do? I'm asking you to give Rep. Archer another
chance. Help him to redeem himself and his pathetic colleagues in the
Congress before they are turned out of their seats in droves next year. Give
them a wakeup call. And use Bill Archer as the point man.

It won't be as easy as it should be, because Bill Archer doesn't encourage
e-mail from anyone outside his district -- even though he chairs powerful
committees making decisions for all Americans. So, you'll have to settle for
calling his office at (202) 225-2571 or faxing him at (202) 225-4381.

Remember, be polite, be courteous -- but be forceful. The people need to
take this country back from the government.

Re: [CTRL] possible connections between Mormonism and ritual abuse

[Smart News]

 -Caveat Lector-

Hi !

Below please find an article from
http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-06.html

Sincerely,  Neil Brick

The  next  article  shows  the  possible connections between   Mormonism and
Ritual Abuse. Most of the information   for this article was published by the
Utah Lighthouse   Ministry (http://www.utlm.org) P.0. Box 1884, Salt Lake
City, UT. 84110, 801-485-8894., a group that publishes newsletters and books
exposing the Mormons and their practices.

Warning: Rituals are described in detail, read with caution.
Please note: all unproven allegations are alleged.

The following information is taken from Evolution of the   Mormon Temple
Ceremony 1842 - 1990 by Jerald and Sandra   Tanner.

>From pages 143-151 (appendix C), the Tanners  show  thatJoseph  Smith
was originally a Mason. Because the Mormons   made "small innovations" in the
rituals, they were no longer   allowed to have a Masonic lodge.

"There can be no question that the "Five points of Fellowship"   were derived
from Freemasonry." (Page 29) Mormons in Utah were   not allowed to join the
Masons because "Joseph Smith stole   part of the Masonic ritual  and
included it in his temple   ceremony." (Page 144). The book also shows
similarities   between the Mormon "The First Token of Aaronic Priesthood" and
  the Masonic oath in the First Degree, and "The Second Token of   the
Aaronic Priesthood" and the Masonic Second degree. Other   similarities are
shown between other grips, vows, signs, use
  of aprons, anointing ceremonies, etc. "Other parallels ...   could be
shown, but these should be sufficient to convince the   reader that Joseph
Smith borrowed from the Masons when he   established the endowment ceremony."
(Page 148)

The following information comes from "Satanic Ritual Abuse and   Mormonism"
by Jerald and Sandra Tanner. In the book the   Tanners discuss a secret memo
from the church written on July   19, 1990 by Bishop Glenn L. Pace to the
"Strengthening Church   Members Committee" on the subject of Ritualistic
Child Abuse. The memo is found on pages 7 - 18. Here are some excerpts from
the memo.

 "I have met with Sixty victims. That number could be twice or   three times
as many if I did not discipline myself to only one   meeting per week... All
sixty individuals are members of the   church. Forty-five victims allege
witnessing or participating
in  human  sacrifice.  The majority were abused by relatives,   often their
parents . . . One individual has memories of   participating in rituals as a
full-time missionary... Childrenare  put  in  a situation where they
believe they are going to   die--such as being buried alive or being placed
in a plastic   bag and immersed in  . . .  the abusers tells the child to
pray to Jesus . . . and nothing happens . . . then she is
  rescued... (by) a representative of  ... they  remember  robesand
candles... seeing other ...babies ...children are baptized   by blood. They
have been brainwashed with drugs, hypnosis, and   other means to become
suicidal as soon as they start to tell   their secrets. They have been
threatened... that if they don't
  do what they are told their brother or  sister... (or)parents will
die... They have told me the positions in   theChurch  of  members  who
are perpetrators... Young Women   leaders, Young Men leaders, bishops, a
patriarch, a stake   president,  temple  workers  and members of the
Tabernacle   Choir... Assuming  each one comes from a coven of 13, we are
talking about the involvement of 800 or so ... on the Wasatch   Front..."

The following information comes directly from Merradyth   McCallister. She
(allegedly) came from a family of   generational incest. She was raised by
her father in Salt Lake   City and (allegedly) incested by him until she  was
 17  years  old.  Her  father's grandfather was from Kentucky and was a
Mason, her   father's  aunt from Nevada was in Eastern Star.

Her daughter in a Logan County Police Report alleges that a  bishop (twice)
and his wife (once) raped and drugged her   between the ages of 12 and 13 at
a Christian girl's camp.

Betty Rhoton, the mother of Cinda Rhoton, was (allegedly)  drugged, tortured
and ritually abused by the Mormons and   helped Cinda Rhoton escape from the
Mormons.  Betty and Cinda   witnessed the torture and rape of the children by
the same   bishop and his wife.

The following information comes from "Occult Ritual Abuse -   Fact or
Fantasy?" also written by Jerald and Sandra Tanner.   The information comes
from Chapter VIII -Ritual Abuse in   Oklahoma and  a lot of the information
was originally   submitted by  Merradyth  and  Jack McCallister  of Oklahoma
 City (pages 179-198).

 "In June of 1963, my husband Jack, had (allegedly) been   sexually molested
by his bishop (a bishop of the OklahomaWard who died in the 1960's) for
two years between 15 - 17...   In June of 1993, our son, Scott, was 23 years
old and recently

Lead Alert
Bill Gallagher
Photos by Joe Gallagher
(Not included)

 One of the first nonferrous targets recovered by any
new metal detectorist is invariably lead, in one of its
myriad forms, and this is because there is a lot of lead in
the ground.  Recorded Statistics show that between the years
1720, and 1979 54,867,900 TONS of this material have been
added to the supply in the United States alone.  Of course,
not all lead ends up in the ground, but a lot has, and this
poses serious risks to the health of all living things.
 Certain types of lead are consistently concentrated in
small areas by human society.  There are toxic situations in
every body of water in America where fishing takes place on
a regular basis.  Lead in the form of fishing sinkers
literally carpets the bottom near piers, bridges, jetties
and other angling points of interest.  In some places,
particularly around bottom obstructions, sinkers are mounded
high and visible to the naked eye.  Plants grow here.  Fish
feed here.  The food chain begins.
 Lead Poisoning (Saturnism) in humans occurs by particle
inhalation, absorption through the skin, or ingestion.  The
latter, ingestion, is the main cause of Saturnism in
humans.  Some cases of lead poisoning have been traced to
food grown on land which is high in lead refuse.  The
oxidized metal leaches through the soil, and, under certain
conditions, plants take the lead up with their nutrients and
become poisonous.  The ability of liquids to dissolve solids
(Diffusivity) has long been known to be one of the basic
phenomena of nature, and this occurence makes the lead in
our oceans, rivers, and lakes that much more likely to
insinuate itself into something that will be eaten by other
living things.
 History is rife with cases of lead poisoning.  The
Romans used it to pipe water, and there is evidence to
suggest that the occurence of Saturnism among them was
almost epidemic.  Lead is highly toxic to all biological
systems.  In humans the damage that can be caused includes
but is not limited to severe brain damage, and one of the
first symptoms is a noticeable decrease in nerve to muscle
transmission.  Leads effect in a biosystem is cumulative,
meaning that if you get it, you've got it for a long time,
and unless its properly diagnosed and treated it can build
up in the system, wreaking havoc and even resulting in
death.
 This information is being perpetuated as a basis to
work from.  It is highly recommended that further study and
research accompany any retrieval of lead, especially where
direct handling is involved.
 Metal Detectors are, of course. the premier tool for
use when cleaning up lead pollution, even though all divers
can participate by hand fanning at fishing sites.  When I
dive in my high value salvage efforts I average 10 pounds of
lead per dive, and this is in swimming areas, not fishing
areas.
 There is plenty to do, and cleanups should begin
immediately.  This would be a wonderful way for metal
detecting clubs to turn the tide of public opinion in their
favor.  Organize and act.  Be vocal and keep good accounts
of the poisons you remove.  The rewards will be immediate
and far reaching.

Well, let's see...  Ft. Lewis HAS been used to train foreign troops
and is supposed to be a big coordination center for 'New Wierd Odor'
type joint-military activities:
http://www.iahushua.com/WOI/caution.html

Then there is the Madigan Army Medican Center, which is also in
Ft. Lewis, Washington:
http://www.mamc.amedd.army.mil/wrmc/wrmcfront.asp

And the strangest story of all -- which all you David Icke fans
will just love -- are the reports of 'alien' infiltration of
the Madigan Army Medical center.  Not saying that any of this
is related to the current "crack down", however the following
is an interesting [if not fantastic] read nonetheless...

If by chance a THEY LIVE type of infiltration scenario HAS
taken place, I'd like to believe that the crack-down was for
the sake of our "boys", so that they could go in, kick *ss and
take names, root out the infiltrators, and leave a trail of
reptilian luggage-fodder in their wake...  But of course that's
only wishful thinking on my part.. ;-)

If you're not one to believe in the existence of "reptilian
humanoids" [whether they be from deep space, other dimensions,
from underground, or frankensteinian freaks created in the
genetic labs of the Illuminati...], then just consider the
following to be nothing more than an interesting 'sci-fi'
story:

Alan
___

[source: Val Valerian of THE LEADING EDGE group...]:

One area of particular interest is the Madigan Military
Hospital south of Seattle, Washington near FORT LEWIS... which has been
investigated by Val Valerian. In June of 1992
Valerian released the following article, titled "ALIEN INFILTRATION OF THE
MILITARY MEDICAL SYSTEM: MADIGAN
HOSPITAL IN WASHINGTON", in his LEADING EDGE newsletter:

  "About a year ago, we ran into SEVERAL PEOPLE who stated that they
'had heard' that 'REPTILIAN
  HUMANOIDS WERE WORKING AT A U.S. ARMY HOSPITAL' NEAR FORT LEWIS,
WASHINGTON. At
  that point, these statements were simply filed away in 'rumor' status,
pending the arrival of something more
  substantial. Descriptions of the nature of and appearance of alien
humanoid forms that could be termed
  'REPTILIAN' vary widely. REPTILIAN HUMANOIDS HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED IN
ITALY AS LOOKING
  VERY LIZARD-LIKE, EVEN WITH TAILS. Pictures showing some of these
entities were published in an
  ITALIAN magazine and eventually ended up in the United States in 'The
Leading Edge'. Logic would seem to
  tell us that if alien humanoids were in fact in 'collusion' with
military medical personnel at a hospital, they
  would not in fact have the appearance of anything other than humans,
or be close enough to humans to
  blend in. About a month ago, the nature of synchronicity brought me to
an espresso bar, where I chanced to
  engage a lady in her early 50's in some small conversation about an
entirely unrelated matter. She had been
  a nurse for some twenty years, and sixteen of those twenty years had
been spent working for the U.S.
  Army. She retired from the service and was now job hunting in the
local area. She was very professional,
  and seemed to know a lot about the nursing field.

  Gradually, her conversation got around to a 'very unusual place',
Madigan Military Hospital, which is located
  on Route 5 south of Seattle. She had applied for work at the hospital
and noticed that it was indeed a
  hospital unlike any she had ever seen before. Madigan is a brand new
$150 million dollar facility, built about
  a year or so ago. From her description, there are small R2D2-type
robots that shuttle prescriptions between
  floors, all the equipment is prototype 'one-of-a-kind', like laser
x-rays and a lot of equipment that was
  extremely high tech. It was not this alone which peaked my interest,
but a comment she made later. She
  made the statement that when she entered a specific lab in the
hospital, she noticed that all the personnel
  were extremely absorbed in their work -- nothing too uncommon about
that. But then she stated that she
  had the thought that some of the equipment looked quite 'alien', AND
TWO MEN WHO LOOKED EXACTLY
  ALIKE TURNED AND LOOKED AT HER IN RESPONSE TO HER THOUGHT. She said
that THE EYES OF
  THESE TWO MEN WERE QUITE PENETRATING AND THAT THEY BOTH MOVED IN
UNISON. That got
  my interest. She then stated

History of Group Research, Inc.


A successful journalist for such magazines as Newsweek, Time, Life, and
Changing Times as well as a staff member of several government agencies
and government-related organizations, Wesley McCune founded Group
Research, Inc. in 1962. Based in Washington, DC until ceasing operations
in the mid-1990s, Group Research Inc. collected materials that focus on
the right-wing and span four decades. The resulting Group Research
archive includes information about and by right-wing organizations and a
ctivists in the form of publications, correspondence, pamphlets,
reports, newspaper, Congressional Record, and magazine clippings, and
other ephemera. The collection is thoroughly cross-referenced and
contains the Group Research Directory w hich, dating mostly from the
1960s, provides brief histories of prominent people, organizations, and
publications associated with the right wing. McCune and his small staff
also published an initially bi-monthly, but in later years, monthly
newsletter, Group Research Report, which kept its subscribers abreast of
the latest views and actions of right-wingers.


SCOPE AND CONTENT


McCune and his staff catalogued the collection to operate as a fully
accessible library, and their organization, including their folder
labels, has been maintained as much as possible. Most of the materials
are arranged alphabetically by topic (rather t han, for example,
chronologically) and have been divided into three separate series. Four
other series contain volumes of Group Research Report, larger printed
works, audio-visual materials, and the Group Research Directory. The
specific c ontents of these series are described in greater detail
below.

Series I: Topical, 1955-1996, Boxes 1-346


Includes publications, correspondence, pamphlets, reports, newspaper,
Congressional Record, and magazine clippings, and other ephemera
gathered on right-wing activists and organizations, and even places,
issues, and institutions not explicitly or solely connected with the
right-wing (for example, abortion or the University of California,
Berkeley). Folders arranged mostly alphabetically under the labels
designated by Group Research, Inc. Occasionally the labels and the order
can be somewhat quir ky with some organizations like the Benjamin
Franklin Historical Society listed as "Franklin Historical Society,
Benjamin," with a series of folders divided into chronological units
beginning with the most recent date first, and with titles of folders
suc h as "Southern Lunancy."


Series II: Topical, 1955-1996, Boxes 347-409


Includes publications, correspondence, pamphlets, reports, newspaper,
Congressional Record, and magazine clippings, and other ephemera
gathered on right-wing activists and organizations. Folders arranged
alphabetically under the labels designated by Grou p Research, Inc.
These files are usually larger than those found in Series I and appear
to have been maintained by Group Research, Inc. as a set of records
separate from the other topical materials.


Series III: States, 1955-1996, Boxes 410-424


Includes ephemera, mostly clippings, concerning right-wing activities,
organizations, and activists organized by state. Folders arranged
alphabetically with the first box in this series containing two lists,
compiled by Group Research, Inc., of right-win g groups arranged
according to state. Group Research, Inc. maintained these records
separately from the topical files found in Series I and II.


Series IV: Group Research Report, 1962-1996, Boxes 425-431
Includes all copies of Group Research Report, volumes 1 through 35.
Folders arranged chronologically beginning with the first issue. Group
Research, Inc. maintained these records separately from the topical and
states files found in Series I, II, and III .

Series V: Printed Materials, 1960-1985, Box 432
Includes larger-sized publications found in the topical files, but not
in folders.

Series VI: Audio/Visual, not dated, Box 433
Includes one audio record (33.3 rpm).

Series VII: Group Research Directory, not dated, Boxes 434-435
Includes the Group Research Directory divided into five sections:
"Instructions," "Organizations," "Individuals," "Publications," and
"Special Reports." Documents within each section are arranged
alphabetically.

Series VIII: Group Research Card File, Boxes 436-483


This is a series of 48 boxes of cards in four series: Personal Name

SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS ONTHE ROCKEFELLER FAMILY AND THEIR
PHILANTHROPIES
Compiled by the Staff of The Rockefeller Archive Center

INTRODUCTION

The following bibliography is designed to present an introduction to the
literature about the Rockefeller family and their various business and
philanthropic endeavors. It is meant as a starting point for general
readers and beginning scholars. It is by no means a
comprehensivebibliography of works that mention the Rockefellers - it
includes only books and not articles found in newspapers, magazines or
scholarly journals, for example, and books in which the Rockefellers are
mentioned but are not central figures also have been excluded. Although
this list emphasizes books prepared by professional historians, works
have not been excluded on the basis of their points of view.

In addition to these books, the Rockefellers have been the subjects of
numerous articles in newspapers and magazines throughout the past
century. Some of this literature is contained in the Periodical
Literature series in Record Group 13, Public Relations, in the
Rockefeller FamilyArchives; a chronological bibliography of this
periodicalliterature is available for consultation at the
RockefellerArchive Center.

The compilation of the bibliography presented here was begun by Joseph
W. Ernst, the Rockefeller family archivist and first director of the
Rockefeller Archive Center, and the late J. William Hess, archivist for
the Rockefeller Foundation and Associate Director of the Rockefeller
Archive Center. The current staff of the Archive Center is pleased to
continue their work and to make it more readily available on-line.

Walter Teagle, the president of Standard Oil, owned 500,000 shares of
American I.G., these shares later becoming the basis of the Teagle
Foundation. Herman Metz, who was also a director of the American I.G.,
was president of H.A. Metz Company, New York, a drug firm wholly owned
by I.G. Farben of Germany. Francis Garvan, who had served as Alien
Property Custodian during the First World War, knew many secrets of I.G.
Farben's operations. He was prosecuted in 1929 to force him to remain
silent. The action was brought by the Department of Justice through
Attorney General Merton Lewis, the former counsel for Bosch Company.
John Krim, former counsel for the German Embassy in the U.S., testified
that Senator John King had been on the payroll of the Hamburg American
Line for three years at a salary of fifteen thousand dollars a year; he
appointed Otto Kahn as treasurer of his election fund. Homer Cummings,
who had been Attorney General for six years, then became counsel for
General Aniline and Film at a salary of $100,000 a year.
During the Second World War, GAF was supposedly owned by a Swiss firm;
it came under considerable suspicion as an "enemy" concern and was
finally taken over by the United States government. John Foster Dulles
had been director of GAF from 1927 to 1934; he was also a director of
International Nickel, which was part of the network of I.G. Farben
firms.
Dulles was related to the Rockefeller family through the Avery
connection. He was attorney for the organization of a new investment
firm, set up by Avery Rockefeller, in 1936 which was called
Schroder-Rockefeller Company. It combined operations of the Schroder
Bank, Hitler's personal bank, and the Rockefeller interest. Baron Kurt
von Schroder was one of Hitler's closest confidants, and a leading
officer of the SS. He was head of the Keppler Associates, which funneled
money to the SS for leading German Corporations. Keppler was the
official in charge of Industril Fats during Goering's Four Year Plan,
which was launched in 1936.
American I.G. changed its name to General Aniline and Film (GAF) during
the Second World War, but it was still wholly owned by I.G. Chemie of
Switzerland, a subsidiary of I.G. Farben of Germany. It was headed by
Gadow, brother-in-law of Herman Schmitz. I.G. Farben's international
agreements directly affected the U.S. war effort, because they set
limits on U.S. supplies of magnesium, synthetic rubber and crucial
medical supplies. The director of I. G. Farben's dyestuffs division,
Baron George von Schnitzler, was related to the powerful von Rath
family, the J.H. Stein Bankhaus which held Hitler's bank account and the
von Mallinckrodt family, the founders of the drug firm in the United
States.
Like other I.G. officials, he had become an enthusiastic supporter of
the Hitler regime. I.G. Farben gave four and a half million riechmarks
to the Nazi Party in 1933; by 1945, I.G. had given the Party 440 million
riechmarks, a sum which equalled all contributions by I.G. to all other
recipients during that period.
One scholar of the Nazi era, Antony Sutton, has focused heavily on
German supporters of Hitler, while ignoring the crucial role played by
the Bank of England and its Governor, Sir Montague Norman, in financing
the Nazi regime. Sutton's position on this problem may have been
influenced by the fact he is British. In view of the outspoken
statements from Adolf Hitler about Jewish influence in Germany, it would
be difficult to explain the role of I.G. Farben in the Nazi era. Peter
Hayes' definitive study of I.G. Farben shows that in 1933, it had 10
Jews on its governing boards. It has been previously pointed out that
I.G., from its inception, was a Rothschild concern, formulated by the
House of Rothschild and implemented through its agents, Max Warburg in
Germany and Standard Oil in the United States.
Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands joined the SS during the early
1930's. He then joined the board of an I.G. subsidiary, Farben Bilder,
from which he took the name of his postwar supersecret policy making
group, the Bilderbergers [this conflicts, at least superficially, with
the widely accepted historical account that the Bilderbergers took their
name from the hotel in Oosterbeek (Osterbeck) where they first met in
1954 -Ed.]. Farben executives played an important role in organizing the
Circle of Friends for Heinrich Himmler, although it was initially known
as Keppler's Circle of Friends, Keppler being the chairman of an I.G.
subsidiary. His nephew, Fritz J. Dranefuss, was the personal assistant
to Heinrich Himmler. Of the forty members of the Circle of Friends,
which provided ample funds for Himmler, eight were executives of I.G.
Farben or its subsidiaries.
Despite the incredible devastation of most German cities from World War
II air bombings, the I

The Rockefeller Syndicate





Many American conservatives believe as a matter of faith that the
Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign Relations exercise absolute
control over the government and the people of the U.S. This thesis can
be accepted as a working formula if one remains conscious of the larger
issues. Two writers for whom the present writer (E.M) has great respect,
Dr. Emanuel Josephson and Morris Bealle, insisted on focusing on the
Rockefellers and excluding all other aspects of the World Order. This
severely limited the effect of their otherwise groundbreaking work on
the Medical Monopoly. This writer advanced a contrary view in "The World
Order," fixing upon the Rothschild monetary power, which reached a point
of world control by 1885, and its London policy group, the Royal
Institute of International Affairs, as the policy makers for what has
essentially been, since 1900, a re-established colonial government,
functions primarily through the Council on Foreign Relations, but only
as the subsidiary of RIIA and through the Rockefeller Foundation, which
controls government functions, the educational establishments, the
media, the religions and the state legislatures.
It is true that the American colonials have "free elections," in which
they have the absolute right to vote for one of two opposing candidates,
both of whom have been handpicked and financed by the Rockefeller
syndicate. This touching evidence of "democracy" serves to convince most
Americans that you are indeed a free people. You even have a cracked
Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to prove it. American youths have been free
since 1900 to be marched off to die in Hegelian wars in which both
combatants received their instructions from the World Order. You are
free to invest in a stock market in which the daily quantity, price and
value of the monetary unit is manipulated and controlled by a Federal
Reserve System which is answerable only to the Bank of England. It has
maintained its vaunted "independence" from your government control, but
this is the only independence it has ever had.
The realization that you do indeed live under the dictates of the
"Rockefeller Syndicate" can well be the starting point of the long road
back of a genuine struggle for American independence. In exposing "the
Rockefellers" as agents of a foreign power, which is not merely a
foreign power, but a genuine world government, you must realize that
this is not merely a group dedicated to making money, but a group which
is committed to maintaining the power of a colonial form of government
over the American people. Thus the ancient calumny of John D.
Rockefeller as a man obsessed by greed (a category in which he has
plenty of company) obscures the fact that from the day the Rothschilds
began to finance his march towards a total oil monopoly in the United
States from their coffers at the National City Bank of Cleveland,
Rockefeller was never an independent power, nor does any department of
the Rockefeller Syndicate operate as an independent power. You know that
the Cosa Nostra, or Mafia, with which the Syndicate is closely allied,
has somewhat autonomous power in the regions which have been assigned to
that particular "family" by the national directors, but this always
implies that that family remains under total control and answerable for
everything which occurs in its territory.
Similarly, the Rockefeller Syndicate operates under clearly defined
spheres of influence. The "charitable" organizations, the business
companies and the policy groups, always meld into a working operation,
nor can any department of the Syndicate strike out on its own or
formulate an independent policy, no matter what may be its
justification.
The Rockefeller Syndicate operates under the control of the world
financial structure, which means that on any given day, all of its
assets could be rendered close to worthless by adroit financial
manipulation. This is the final control, which ensures that no one can
quit the organization. Not only would he be stripped of all assets, but
he would be under contract for immediate assassination. The Department
of Justice is well aware that the only "terrorists" operating

Obviously, what we need are more babies born who are less alert and less curious

Wolf and Boylan Disclosure ... no way. [imo]

Andrew Hennessey

Greetings ... My name eez Doktor Wolfenstein, the official NASA scientist
tasked by zee Pentagon, Majesteek 12, und macDonuulds Hamburgers, to leek
selected information to you, zee discerning members ov our graate Nazion.

Firstly - zee leetle furbiez zour keeds have been playing with are modelled
on zee female of our glorious Superior Extra Terrestrial Race.
Professor Placard Mansea former consultant to the National Security Council
and shareholder in the forthcoming 'Triffids, their bark worse than their
bite' can verify this amazing fact.

Knowing that the entire american and indeed global population would take to
their campers and head for the hills if they discovered that the little
orange furbies had crossed intergalactic space simply to repeat everything
we said,
the NSA had decided on a stealth campaign of mass mind control aimed at the
younger generation who were more susceptible to re-education.

Other races come here too though - they have brains that are far more
connected than ours - but we had to pull quite a lot of silicon chips out
during the autopsy - indeed several brain fragments made their escape
through the ventilation system of the facility and were last reported
hitching to DC.
There are the Scots, the Scottish Ambassador is still said to be
embarrassed after the wife of Senator Williams had asked for a 'Glasgow
Kiss' - the resultant ethnological interaction is hypothesised to resemble
a Headbutt, but detailed frame by frame analysis dismisses this possibility
as simplistic rhetoric.
Mrs Williams is still receiving treatment for concussion.

Zee Furbeez as we know eat very leetle except batteries und data, und vee
know that zeir connection to cattle mutilations are empirically correlated
with MacDonalds promotions und zee free leetle Furby weeth every beeg Mak.

Professor Mansea also verifies that the Strategic Defence Air Arm of Belize
is vurried about zee crop ceercles because if they can do zat weeth der
corn - what can zay do to the viring in zee underground cities below ..

Finally - ze great Doktor Wolfenstein sayz all is vell with der Great
Albert Einstein - Albert joined ze space academy at an early age, zen
became one of the greatest space kadets ever weeth thanks to zee furbies -
he has managed to successfully cul de sac particle physics, Cosmology, time
and energy in zee varm, happy und ignorant darkness that all Furbeez luv  :)

[CTRL] "No sorrow like our sorrow" (fwd)

[William Hugh Tunstall]

 -Caveat Lector-

-- Forwarded message
   David Chesebrough analyzes 340 sermons delivered during the seven weeks
following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on 14 April 1865 in
this volume. The majority of the sermons were delivered on Easter Sunday, 16
April, and the following Wednesday, the day that Lincoln's funeral services
were conducted in Washington, D.C. About twenty percent of the sermons studied
were delivered on 1 June, the Day of National Humiliation marking the end of
the official mourning period for Lincoln. The author states: "It was a time of
pervasive grief, bitter anger, and wrenching frustration; a time when passions
overruled the rational, inspired both noble and caustic words, and dictated
radical actions. Such emotionalism could not long be sustained, and it was
not" (107). On the other hand, these sermons contributed to the
"immortalization of Abraham Lincoln" (110).
   The two criteria used in the selection of the sermons were that they were
Protestant and that they were delivered by preachers who were Northern in
orientation. Although thousands of sermons were preached, the author was able
to look at only those that were printed. This means that most of the sermons
were delivered in large urban churches that were financially well enough off
to have the sermons printed. Some of the most moving sermons that are cited
were delivered by black preachers.
   Chesebrough divides the volume into five major themes: grief, the character
of Lincoln, who was responsible, the demand for justice, and the assassination
as an act of Providence.
   The focus of the vast majority of the sermons -- the longest chapter in the
book -- is on Lincoln's character, described by one preacher as  the character
of an American under the discipline of freedom" (17). Although it was thought
by the preachers that Lincoln's most memorable action was the Emancipation
Proclamation, the sermons emphasized the quality of his goodness and
intellect. Lincoln had a "great and manly soul" that was honest and open and
worthy of entire trust (20). His intellect was powerful, and even so soon
after his death it was understood that his great capacity was not unrelated to
a study of Euclid and to the few great books he studied, including the Bible,
while his humor indicated that he studied many men and understood their
nature. His ability to tell stories was understood to be "philosophy in
parables" (25). Although some sermons showed a certain uneasiness about
Lincoln's religious commitment because he had never made a public profession
of his faith and because he had never officially joined a church, the vast
majority understood then what modem biographers since have made clear (8).
According to one sermon, Lincoln "was a man of decided religious turn of mind,
who lived and acted in the light arid influence of a practical" faith (32). It
is interesting that he was often compared to both Moses and Washington. If
Washington was the "Founder," Lincoln was the "Restorer" (39). To read these
sermons is to have some understanding of the overwhelming grief that hung over
the American people, and why, as one poetic sermon put it: "It is manly to
weep to-day" (1).
   The appendix to the volume contains two full sermons. One is a radical one,
arguing that justice demands harsh penalties from the South. The other, more
typical in tone and demeanor, emphasizes the quality of mercy and spends much
time on Lincoln's moral power and the basis of his greatness. The second part
of the appendix -- most fifty pages in length -- contains an annotated list of
the 340 post-assassination sermons that the author has examined.

of his faith and because he had never officially joined a church, the vast
majority understood then what modem biographers since have made clear (8).
According to one sermon, Lincoln "was a man of decided religious turn of mind,
who lived and acted in the light arid influence of a practical" faith (32). It
is interesting that he was often compared to both Moses and Washington. If
Washington was the "Founder," Lincoln was the "Restorer" (39). To read these
sermons is to have some understanding of the overwhelming grief that hung over
the American people, and why, as one poetic sermon put it: "It is manly to
weep to-day" (1).
   The appendix to the volume contains two full sermons. One is a radical one,
arguing that justice demands harsh penalties from the South. The other, more
typical in tone and demeanor, emphasizes the quality of mercy and spends much
time on Lincoln's moral power and the basis of his greatness. The second part
of the appendix -- most fifty pages in length -- contains an annotated list of
the 340 post-assassination sermons that the author has examined.

[CTRL] Mississippi's spy secrets (fwd)

[William Hugh Tunstall]

 -Caveat Lector-

-- Forwarded message ---

.
Long-sealed files reveal how a segregationist state waged war on the
civil-rights movement
   The language is alarmist, the tone sinister. During Mississippi's dangerous
"Freedom Summer" of 1964, the civil-rights movement was headquartered in a
chaotic office in Jackson. Harried workers tried to keep track of the hundreds
of summer volunteers who were scattered around the state, building community
centers and teaching voter-registration classes amid a relentless pattern of
police harassment and Klan terrorism. The activists were also under
surveillance by Mississippi's publicly funded Sovereignty Commission. In one
of the 124,000 pages from the commission's files that were unsealed last week,
"Agent X," the Sovereignty Commission's most productive African-American spy,
reported to director Erle Johnston that "strong females" and "Muslim and
Marxist literature" were among the perils in the Jackson office. Agent X
claimed that a "school for women" featuring "socialistic ideas" was about to
open at a "ranch" that one white female staffer owned outside Jackson. Sandra
(Casey) Hayden, the civil-rights worker and putative "ranch" owner, described
Agent X's report to me last week as "wildly inaccurate" and "a complete
fabrication."
   The public opening of thousands of Mississippi civil-rights-era
surveillance files has brought the South's racist past poignantly and
painfully back to life. Historians will not be surprised by any of the
particular dirty deeds chronicled in these documents, but the cumulative
inclusion of more than 60,000 individual names underscores the breadth of
Mississippi's sweeping surveillance. The Sovereignty Commission, created in
1956 to protect against "encroachment" by the federal government in the wake
of the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown ruling, was the state government's most
aggressive arm in the fight to thwart the drive for civil rights, paying
informants, collecting gossip and distributing rumor-ridden reports.
Originally intended as a propaganda and public-relations bureau, the
Sovereignty Commission was transformed by governors Ross Barnett and Paul
Johnson into a spy agency that targeted the Freedom Movement at every turn.
   Like Byron De La Beckwith's 1994 conviction for the 1963 assassination of
Medgar Evers and a renewed federal probe into the 1963 bombing of Binningham's
Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, the release of the Sovereignty files is a
bracing reminder of what life was like on the ground in the Movement days.
Now, 35 years later, we too often fail to appreciate how much danger dogged
not just Movement leaders but ordinary people as well.
   Everyone knew that Mississippi was the deadliest place of all for
civil-rights workers--and the Sovereignty Commission's spies and staffers were
players in some of the most notorious dramas of the era. On June 21, 1964,
three Movement workers, Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman,
vanished after inspecting the ruins of a rural church that had been torched by
the Klan. The only immediate clue to their disappearance, their own burned-out
station wagon, was found in a desolate swamp. No one except Mississippi's
white segregationist politicians pretended there was any chance that the three
young men were still alive. As it turned out, the commission had disseminated
a description of Schwerner and his station wagon to local police agencies well
before Neshoba County Deputy Sheriff Cecil Ray Price helped a band of Ku Klux
Klansmen intercept and murder Schwerner and his two colleagues.
   Just one year earlier, Mississippi's most outspoken black activist, Medgar
Evers, had been assassinated outside his Jackson home by a sniper. Beckwith
was the accused killer; his fingerprint had been found on the murder weapon.
His first trial ended in a hung jury; when Beckwith was in the dock a second
time in 1964, commission investigator A. L. Hopkins assisted Beckwith's
defense team in examining the backgrounds of prospective jurors in order to
eliminate those least sympathetic toward an accused racist assassin. It
worked: eight of the 12 final jurors voted to acquit.
   Both the Citizens' Councils, the middle-class segregationist network that
used economic reprisals like firings to punish white moderates and black
activists, and the Ku Klux Klan, which employed violence, did more harm to
civil-rights advocates than the Sovereignty Commission's spies and staffers
did. But the commission investigators' fixations on "Communist influence," and
on the threat of "intermarriage" and interracial sex, were obsessions that
most civil-rights opponents shared.
   The commission's files were almost certainly purged of their most damning
documents before the agency's abolition in 1977. Yet U.S. district Judge
William H. Barbour, who has overseen the preservation and release of the
Sovereignty Commission's files, still pull

   1950. by SUSAN M. HARTMANN

Gahagan Douglas--Sexual Politics and the Red Scare, 1950 (NewYork: Random
House, 1998), 316 + pp. $25.00 cloth (ISBN 0-679-41621-8).
  As the Watergate scandal unfolded in 1973, bumper stickers appeared in
California saying, "DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR HELEN GAHAGAN DOUGLAS" (p.
xvi). The stickers referred to one of the most notorious political campaigns
in U.S. history, in which Richard M. Nixon defeated Douglas for one of
California's seats in the Senate in 1950. Biographers of the two combatants
have discussed this election at some length, but Greg Mitchell has produced
the first book-length treatment of the race.
  Mitchell, whose previous books include an account of Upton Sinclair's
campaign for governor of California in the 1930s, sets the Nixon-Douglas race
within the context of California politics and national history. His extensive
research included the papers of the two principals; papers of other key
figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment, and journalism, such as
Earl Warren, Harry S. Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Edward G. Robinson, John
Houston, William Randolph Hearst, and Hedda Hopper; dozens of oral histories
and interviews; newspapers; and a broad range of secondary sources. Newly
available for this book were several boxes of Nixon papers and campaign
material, including memos by Nixon and his campaign manager Murray Chotiner.
  Mitchell's detailed, week-by-week and sometimes day-by-day, account of the
campaign is set within a larger argument that 1950 was a turning point, the
year that antiCommunism became a national phenomenon. In making Douglas's
alleged Communist sympathies the focus of the election, the Nixon campaign
went far beyond the Redbaiting that had been but one part of his attack on
incumbent Jerry Voorhis in 1946. Nor did Republicans have a monopoly on
anti-Communism in 1950. Douglas's opponent in the Democratic primary labeled
her "pink," as Mitchell points out, "stockpiling ammunition for Nixon to fire
later" (p. 32). Southern Democrats began to run hard on antiCommunism in 1950,
as did Republicans, egged on by the Republican National Committee, which
distributed a booklet linking the Democratic Party to Communism.
  Mitchell relates key events of 1950 to the Nixon-Douglas
contest--imprisonment of four of the Hollywood Ten for refusing to name
associates who might have been connected with Communist or front
organizations, the arrest of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for passing atomic
secrets to the Soviets, the Korean War, and the passage of the harsh McCarran
Internal SecurityAct, which Douglas risked her career to vote against in
contrast to liberal Democrats like Hubert Humphrey and Wayne Morse who would
not buck the tide. Because both Douglas and her husband Melvyn were actors and
because their home was Los Angeles, readers learn much about anti-Communism in
the entertainment industry. In addition to the Hollywood Ten, Mitchell
discusses publication of Red Channels, a report that set off a wave of
blacklisting in radio and television, and a bitter fight on the eve of the
election within the Screen Directors Guild over whether guild members should
sign a loyalty oath. He also notes the anti-Semitism associated with
anti-Communism, pointing out Nixon's oblique remarks about the Jewish heritage
of Melvyn Douglas.
  The opening of new Nixon papers related to the campaign enabled Mitchell to
provide details about Nixon's strategy and those who supported him. His
campaign raised large amounts of money, not just from California but from
people of wealth across the country, including Joseph P. Kennedy, whose $1,000
check was hand delivered by his son John, Nixon's colleague in the House. Ed
Pauley and other Democrats lent their support, some within an organization,
Democrats for Nixon, set up by George Creel, who had served in the Wilson
administration. Having contributed $50 to Douglas, Ronald Reagan changed
political horses during the campaign and was mobilizing support for Nixon by
the end.
  For Douglas, raising money was a constant struggle. In addition to lacking
money, Douglas's campaign suffered from her inability to get off the
defensive, her overly long stump speeches, and the poor--and, according to
Stanford researchers, biased--press coverage (the Los Angeles Times did not
publish a single photo of her during the campaign). Douglas benefited fro

Interview with Walter H. Bowart
July 16, 1995

San Jose, California

Interview participants:
Marilyn Colman: MC
Will Robinson: WR
Walter Bowart: WB

WR: Here on the Lighthouse Report it is our pleasure to have before us a
person whom we've interviewed many times on phone, Walter Boward.
Walter, how are you doing today?

WB: Well, I'm doing great and it is my pleasure to be here in person
with you.

WR: I think the first place to start is regarding the talk that you gave
just last night, or I should say, Saturday night when this program is
airedwhy don't we get to the areas that you said that you didn't get
to cover but would like to touch on, on the subject of mind control and
manipulation.

WB: Well, of course the new areas of research...it's flooding in all the
time and that's...that's been called, what, the "cordless mind control
area" if you will, some kind of broadcasting of technology that puts a
human voice inside of.. human voice in teams, twenty-four hours a day,
inside of a person's mind. Now we want to try to come... we are working
on...Freedom of Thought Foundation is building a network and we're
working with scientists to try and come up with ways to discern between
people that are paranoid-schizophrenics. Because traditionally, if you
had a voice inside your head you're diagnosed as paranoid-schizophrenic.
And that was it. But we found a lot of these people that are hearing
these voices are not paranoid-schizophrenic and function otherwise
normally. They just hear these voices.

MC: And I think it's important to realize that not everything continues
to be the same truth. Part of the problem we have with today's medical
associations is they are not able to look at what's really happening and
I think, Walter, it is important that you are one of me...in the
vanguard of opening up the new technology.

WB: Yeah, well, this is what we are learning, in our experience, is that
the therapist and social workers down in the lowest level have the best
handle because they really treat people hands-on. The next level that
knows about it are the psychologists and the ones that know the least
about all of this mind-control stuff are the psychiatrists. They are
twenty years behind time. I mean, the idea of Freudian analysis is still
going on and it is pathetic to think that people will pay lots of
money-what is it? – hundreds of dollars an hour...

MC: ... and many, many years. About ten years... WB: ...and all talking
about your problems does is reinforce your problem.

WR: In other words, what you are saying is they're more like the New
York Dental Association.

WB: Yeah-it's like a closed shop and they're twenty years behind the
time. They are working with outdated technology and ideas. MC: And
that's right, because the New ,Age medicine adopted the work of the
shaman and of the occult and of the spiritual side of man and we are now
seeing that these two things, both the mechanical aspect of mind and
body and the spiritual side, have to come together to heal the whole
person.

WB: We have a False Memory "Spindrome" Foundation. I call it "spindrome"
because it's not a syndrome what they describe a~ false memories. And
the concept of this group is that memories can be implanted in your
mind. False memories, untrue things. You will remember untrue things.
Now, this is not established very well in law and there is a plus side
to this because, in fact, false memories can be implanted. And also,
people are inept at hypnosis and various other things so that they will
pollute others unintentionally with false memories and things like that.
However, the board of this organization is made up of a lot of CIA
people, CIA contracts, "spychiatrists", and pedophiles, child molesters,
people that are on the side of pedophilia. They are trying to defend
 pedophilia. And it is a very litigious, very aggresive organization
that has struck terror in the hearts of the psychiatric, psychological
and therapeutic community.

MC: Now how can we relate this to the two things like the Prince and the
McMartin Cases?

WB: The McMartin case, I don't know exactly how it relates but...

MC: Well, if the children, they claim that the children's memories of
being molested were implanted by the therapists working with them.

WB: Yeah, that's what they claim, but I don't think that had any bearing
on the case and the outcome. I think that the withholding of evidence
had more to do, and what evidence was found later that the children said
was true of the tunnels and whatnot, that was discovered later, so I
think the case fell because of bad...

MC: But you know that the folks that espoused this were using this as
ammunition against you.

WR: Yeah, Yeah because the bottom line is you have a verdict turned back
that they were acquitted. And they were using that

Part III – Conclusion

And crackpot Nazi experimentation at that.

WR: We might add at that time nobody knew where Mengele' whereabouts
were. He was supposedly running all over from South America to Central
Southwest to Arizona, he was in Arizona in me 60's.

WB: Yes. In 1965, the CIA paid Baltimore Laboratories $15,000 to find a
drug which could be used to fake a means of suicide. They came up with
several they thought might work with a careless pathologist. Now one
wonders...I'd like to see the files on that. It would be hilarious, you
know. Corpses)reviving in the morgue and stuff. The same year the CIA
spent seven hundred thousand dollars on research with terminal cancer
patients. That was '65. And mental defectives at Georgetown University.
The unsuspecting patients were given a combination of stimulants,
depressants and stress inducing drugs in a failed attempt to replicate
the psychic driving techniques developed earlier by Cameron in Canada.

WR: ln the near future, theres going to be a footnote to that
information. Theres a gentleman who's going to be coming out with a book
on the subject of Dr. Mary Sherman, working out of Tulane University and
her strange connection with David Ferry. ..

WB: Oh, Oh!

WR: ...and cancer experiments that were being performed in New Orleans.

MC: And we've been following...and in fact we've been waiting with
baited breath for this gentleman to finish the book and get it published
so we can interview him, so we could read to book. We're very excited
about it. And there's far more to it.

WB: Well I hope he puts me on the review list

WR: The gentleman's name is Ed Haslam and I believe he's not too far
from where you are located.

MC: We will do that. We will put you in touch.

WR: We will get that information to you when we get home.

WB: That would be great In '65, do you want me to continue? In '65...

WR: Yes! Sorry, I just wanted to interject that because you said
cancer...

WB: Yeah, Colonel George White former Bureau of Narcotics agent, famous
George White repeated a 1953 field experiment with adjoining apartments
on 'Telegraph Hill m San Francisco. 'The project was code-named Midnight
Climax. White filmed the CIA paid prostitutes giving their johns LSD
from behind a one-way mirror. It was believed that LSD effects on
sexuality would show up on the film. White was also active in New York
City giving powerful psychoactive chemicals like ivolgain and
undocumented drugs in unmeasured quantities to selective leaders of the
anti-war movement and other targeted political and civil rights
activists. In 1966 Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California.
Operation Spellbinder was a CIA research project which attempted to
hypnotize an agent into becoming a sleeper killer. The FOIA released
documents saying that several Cuban immigrants were found upon which
hypnosis was tried. The goal was to plant an agent in Cuba w-ho, when
triggered, would kill Fidel Castro. The CIA documents say this didn't
work and independent research turned up first person witnesses that
classically conditioned MPD, Multiple Personality Disorder, agents were
at work within Cuba from Castro's rise to power in the late 1950's. In
1966 in October, possession of LSD was declared a Class One felony,
stopping all research on it. The psychedelic 60's were over and the war
on drugs began. 'The cryptocracy black ops. funds grew fat. ln 1967
DARPA, that's the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, was called
Project Pandora got under way with Dr. Joseph Sharpe who is presently in
NASA-Ames Laboratory today. Pandora concluded in 1969 stating that
nothing would he clear without experiments on human subjects in their
natural settings. Nixon approved- "basic research" on voluntary human
subjects. In 1968 at the peak of the student unrest Dr. Gordon J.F.
McDonald, Science Advisor to Lyndon B. Johnson described how man-made
changes in the earth's ionosphere could be used for mass behavior
control. He pointed out that low frequency electromagnetic operations
could be used to attack the brain-waves of human beings. He stated, "
perturbation of the environment can produce changes in behavioral
patterns".

MC: Now I want to interject here, is this information recently
unclassified'? Was it available in print at the time, was it, you
know...I'm trying to find out this was..

WB: In '68? No.

MC: So this was secret in '68?

WB: Yes.

MC: About what time was much of this information declassified.

WB: Oh in the late '70's.

MC: In the late '70's..

WB: Right.

MC: And very few people ever saw this declassified information.

WB: Oh yeah, most of it.

MC: See , this is important because people think oh well that's ancient
history and everybody knew about it. ho! Thats exactly

Covering Ass Through the Eighties


LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. AUGUST 1989

I was reviewing manuscript pages of this book when the telephone rang.

"Lake, old buddy! How have you been?"

"Do I know you?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm George Weisz, an investigator with the Arizona attorney
general's office. We met while you were here working the Bolles case. What
have you been doing?"

"Same thing as always. I'm a private investigator."

"Well, we're working on the Bolles murder..."

Jesus. The reporter had been dead thirteen years, two months.

"That's great," I said, almost choking. "How you coming with it?"

"We'd like to ask you some questions. I've been going over the material you
sent to the attorney general and the U.S. attorney. And we know you made a
lot of tapes with Robison. We'd like, as part of our investigation, to get
together with you and listen to those tapes. We can come to Vegas, or if
you'll be in Phoenix soon, we can meet here."

"I'll tell you what you do. Call my attorney, George Vlassis, and set up an
appointment through him. We can talk in his office. I'll fly down when I get
the word from Vlassis."

"Let's make an appointment while I've got you on the phone."

In a hurry, huh? I thought. Now I remembered Weisz. Like Schafer, Corbin, and
the rest, he'd ignored everything we provided his office.

"I can't make an appointment," I said. "I don't know my lawyer's schedule.
Give him a call."

I hung up, sure that Vlassis wouldn't allow me to answer their questions.
Wise had nerve, I'd give him that.

Still investigating? Now, in 1989, they wanted to talk to me?

I wondered if the real reason for the call was to find out how the book
treated them. Or, more ominous, since they wanted to listen to tapes, if they
fantasized about retrying Jim.

I had prepared myself to hear "more arrests are expected" spilling out of
Weisz's mouth.

Though I kept my pledge to stay away from active involvement in the Bolles
case, I closely followed its many twists and turns throughout the 1980s.
Cover Your Ass—Robison's description of the police/prosecution motive for
ineptitude and worse—became more pronounced, laughable and, ultimately,
ludicrous. Here are some examples from the time after we left Phoenix.

o   Phoenix organized-crime police officers, after first purging their
files on Emprise to remove any reference to John Adamson, created a new,
sanitized Emprise file to mollify the curious.

o   By hiding the index cards needed to locate the files, police made it
impossible to study their dossiers on Adamson, Barry Goldwater, Bradley Funk,
and others.

o   The police shredded all surveillance reports relating to the murder
of Bolles.

o   Organized-crime officers kept all the information they gathered on
the Bolles murder in a secret file not listed in any official record. Once
five inches thick, it shrank to virtually nothing after its existence became
publicly known.

o   Phoenix police still didn't bother to interview Nicole DiVincenzo,
who said he had been offered a contract to kill Bolles (which he turned
down), and later a contract on John Adamson's life, even though DiVincenzo
was in the Phoenix jail on another charge.

The Phoenix weekly New Times concluded, in an issue printed on the tenth
anniversary of the Bolles bombing: "The Phoenix police department
deliberately sabotaged its investigation into the murder of Don Bolles."

The saddest part of all is that, except for residents of Arizona who have
lived with the case, most Americans have only sketchy knowledge of the
tragedy. Many, if they know of Robison and Dunlap at all, believe they got
off on a legal technicality—a terrible injustice to these men, who unfairly
suffered for so long and conceivably could still be tried again by the same
state that railroaded them in the first place. Almost as bad, Corbin and
Schafer, viewed from a distance, have emerged as heroes in the eyes of some
writers for "standing up" to John Adamson and prosecuting him to the fullest
extent of the law after he made those outrageous demands in exchange for his
testimony.

Cover Your Ass. Here's Attorney General Bruce Babbitt in 1977, after his
office convicted Dunlap and Robison: "The convictions reaffirm the fact that
the [Phoenix police] department is one of the outstanding law enforcement
agencies, not only in this state, but in the nation." And here's Governor
Bruce Babbitt in 1986, after the destruction of almost everything he claimed
to be true in the Bolles case: "Police work in this city and this state has
come a long way since 1976. We were not in a modern law enforcement
situation. At the time,

A Matter of Memory:
Psuedopsychology and the Politics of Denial

"Pseudoscience clutches doggedly at ideas for their own sake.
-Alan M. MacRobert, 1989

Considered in the light of conspiracy theory, the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation (FMSF), mentioned in Chapter 2, presents an interesting example of
how information can be manipulated to promote a well-funded pseudoscientific
conspiracy.

But what exactly are "false memories"? How are they "implanted" by
psychotherapists? And where do they come from?

In their 1992 article "Recovered Memories of Alleged Sexual Abuse: Lawsuits
against Parents," published in Behaviorial Science and the Law, Dr. Ralph
Underwager and his wife, Dr. Holida Wakefield, summarized FMSF's position as
follows:

Recently there has been increased civil litigation by adults suing parents
and others for sexual abuse following the recovery of memories of the abuse
through therapy. The memories are recovered through the help of therapists
who use concepts such as repression and dissociation to account for the lack
of memories and then techniques such as hypnosis and survivors' groups.
However, the claims of repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse recovered
in the course of therapy are unlikely to be supported by empirical data.

Underwager and Wakefield cite minimal corroborative data, little empirical
validation, or "no verification" to claims of recovered memories. High on
their hit-list is Laura Davis's book The Courage to Heal, now considered a
"recovery" standard.

While there has been a lot of talk-show activity, and an astounding number of
newspaper and magazine articles detailing the FMSFs position, only a few
journal articles have been published by FMSF members-and none of these cite
any substantive scientific research.

David Hamilton, a lawyer/psychologist, and Joann Ondrovik, a psychologist,
review FMSF's material in the August 1993 issue of the ISSMP&D News
(International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and
Dissociation):

Wakefield and Underwager conclude from the FMS data that claims of repressed
or dissociated memories of childhood abuse, recovered in the course of
therapy, "are unlikely to be supported by empirical data."

Hamilton and Ondrovik note that Underwager and Wakefield focus on MPD for
specific analysis. This analysis is skeptical that MPD exists and claims that
many practitioners who are convinced of MPD are themselves members of a
professional "subculture" that favors hypnotherapeutic techniques, has an
analytical orientation, and sees patients over extended periods.

Underwager and Wakefield base much of their theory on the previously
mentioned work of Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist specializing in memory at
the University of Washington. Dr. Loftus acknowledges that while some issues
of repressed or dissociated memory are genuine, many are falsely implanted by
the therapist.

"Dr. Loftus," according to Hamilton and Ondrovik, "also questions the
influence of the book The Courage to Heal, especially the affirmation that
abuse probably occurred even if there are no specific memories, and 'that any
demands for corroboration of these feelings are unreasonable.' "

Loftus has stated that while many psychologists accept the concept of
repressed memories of early trauma, little scientific evidence supports the
belief. The problem, as Dr. Loftus puts it, is: "unquestioned acceptance of
what their clients tell them."

Hamilton and Ondrovik point out that FMSF pseudolegal logic "seems to be a
form of deductive reasoning that flows as follows: All memories that are
proved in court are true; this memory was not proved in court, therefore this
memory is not true." Hamilton and Ondrovik counter this argument with the
absence of proof is not proof of absence rebuttal:

One cannot extract medical or psychological theory on memory and neurological
functioning from pseudolegal syllogisms. The law does not require disproof
but rather proof. The failure to prove under the prevailing evidentiary
standards does not equate with disproof. The risk of nonpersuasion in the
forensic setting is not a finding that the allegations are false, but rather
a finding that the burden of proof was not met under the procedural
limitations usually codified as the rules of evidence. Taken from a different
angle, a conclusion that a memory is false because certain evidentiary
standards have not been met is not warranted under either burden of proof or
burden of persuasion considerations.

Without complete forensic proof, any memory is thus suspect of being "false
memory." A group of four-year-olds who

The People Crushed

HARDING, WHO HAD tried to remain aloof, stepped in at last. He asked Lewis to
have the workers return to work, temporarily, on the basis of the current
wage scale, and then to promise to agree to the recommendations of a
presidential commission that Harding would appoint to determine a fair
settlement. The proposal was doubly rigged against the miners: eight of the
eleven members of the commission would be owners or Harding-appointed
representatives of the "general public" (who could be expected to be opposed
to the miners), and in any case, the commission would return to the old
method of determining settlements district by district, destroying the
national union by dividing it. Lewis declined.

"I want to convey to you in this message," Harding telegraphed to the
governors of twenty-eight coal-mining states, "the assurance of the prompt
and full support of the federal government whenever and wherever you find
your own agencies of law and order inadequate to meet the situation." The
president's message was somewhat vague, but the governors-and the miners-all
interpreted it the same way: if the owners wanted to reopen their mines,
whether with strikebreakers or any other kind of laborers, they would have
federal troops to back them. With rumors of a shooting war, all sides pulled
back for a brief respite.

In the very midst of the coal strike, the Railroad Labor Board, which had
been constituted in 1920 to hear arguments and determine wage and work-rule
settlements for railroad workers, ordered a $48 million (13 percent) wage cut
for 400,000 maintenance-of-way railroad workers. The board followed this
order eight days later with another decision: to cut the pay of 400,000
railroad shopmen by $60 million. Ten days after that the board ordered $26.5
million cut from the payrolls of 325,000 clerks and signalmen. The railroad
shopmen walked out.

"The Red agents of the Soviet Government," said Harry Daugherty, "who had
bored into the organization of our coal miners . . . worked day and night, by
inflammatory circulars and fanatical speakers, to precipitate a clash of
arms." Their goal was nothing less than to "tie up every artery of commerce
in America," to destroy the "foundations of the Republic," to "overthrow our
government and substitute a Soviet Regime." Daugherty knew his duty. He went
to the president and told him "that the coal strike would have to be broken,
or we must surrender to the gentlemen in Moscow who were directing it."

Daugherty, uninterested in economics or the study of historical phenomena in
general, himself a schemer and conniver who always had dozens of small and
large plots and conspiracies and counterplots and deals and string pullings
going at the same time, could only assume that everyone else did, too, and
that, somewhere in the world, there was a great and greatly malevolent,
master plotter who was trying to do him in. Whether Harding was entirely
convinced by Daugherty seems doubtful, although, once again, he found
Daugherty's counterplottings useful.

"I've a war map on the wall of my office," Daugherty told Harding, "in which
pins are stuck daily marking the spot where a train has been wrecked, a
bridge dynamited, a riot has broken out, a worker been kidnapped, another
assaulted, a murder committed. Hundreds of cases are covered up. Men are
maimed and killed and the crimes concealed.

"I have records piled high in black and white, from eye-witnesses whose words
are beyond question. Of known murders by the strikers. A thousand and five
hundred cases of felonious assault with intent to kill. Sixty-five accounts
of kidnapping accompanied by brutal assault, eight cases of tar and
feathers

"The real import of this movement is not on the surface. You must look deeper
to find it. We are face to face with a determined conspiracy to overturn the
government itself."

The Soviets, said Daugherty, planned to seize control of the labor unions
first and convert them into "fighting units." These would then be fused into
a single whole. The leaders of this conspiracy could be found easily enough:
they were leaders of the "Liberal" groups and of the "Civil Liberties,"
"Parlor Bolshevik," and "Intelligentsia" groups.

"The class struggle," Daugherty continued, "which so long appeared in forms
unrecognizable to millions of workers, develops now into open combat, civil
war."

"It looks like it, doesn't it?" the president muttered- whether in agreement
or fatigue at the harangue is not clear.

"Looks like it!" Daugherty shouted. "It is civil war. And it's so widespread
and serious we don't dare allow the facts to be known! The Labor Lobby in
Washington that attempts a stranglehold on legislation is no longer
conservative. It is controlled by the Red borers

[CTRL] US Army to use "earth-friendly" bullets (fwd)

News Article: U.S. Army To Use 'Green' Tungsten Bullets

LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. army is to manufacture and use
tungsten-based bullets, rather than traditional lead slugs which
are environmentally unfriendly, the International Tungsten
Industry Association (ITIA) said.
Around one million 'green' bullets will be produced this
year, rising to five to ten million in 2000, and up to 200
million in the years that follow, the ITIA said in its latest
newsletter.
"The bullets, which are used primarily for shooting
practice during peace time, are as deadly to humans as their
predecessors but less deadly to the Earth," it said, quoting an
article published by the Water Environment Federation.
"Two hundred million tungsten bullets a year, using an
ounce of tungsten each...that makes more than 5,500 tonnes or
one-eighth of existing annual tungsten consumption in the
world," the newsletter added.
Lead bullets tend to cause a build-up in the environment,
often ending up in sediments, surface water and groundwater.
This accumulated lead can harm wildlife, as well as people if
they get their water from a contaminated source.
"Although tungsten is more expensive than lead, the
clean-up of the manufacturing process will result in savings of
$0.01 to $0.05 per round, or $5 million to $20 million a year,"
the ITIA said.

Mitchel adds: Think of it. At $.05 per round at $5 million a year, that's
100 million rounds of ammunition the Army plans on shooting this year  (the
lowest figure). Or, the maximum, 2 billion rounds! Question: At whom?

FEDERAL ACTION ALERT
---
WELLSTONE AMENDMENT WOULD EXEMPT PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS FROM THE
PRISON LITIGATION REFORM ACT,

NAMI ADVOCACY IS URGENTLY NEEDED

Several years ago, Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act
(PLRA), a law that significantly limits legal protections for inmates in
jails and prisons, including those who suffer from severe mental
illnesses.   We received news today that Senator Paul Wellstone (D.
Minn.) has drafted legislation to exempt individuals with mental
illnesses and children from the PLRA.   Senator Wellstone is expected
to offer this legislation as an Amendment to S. 1217, the Senate
Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary Appropriations bill.   The
full Senate may take up S. 1217 as early as this evening or tomorrow
morning. We request that you contact your two U.S. Senators ASAP and
urge that they vote in favor of Senator Wellstone's Amendment to S.
1217.

ACTION NEEDED

Please contact your two U.S. Senators immediately and ask them to
support Senator Wellstone's amendment to the Commerce, Justice, State
Appropriations bill exempting children and individuals with mental
illnesses from the Prison Litigation Reform Act. All members of Congress
can be reached through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.

Explain that inadequacies in the mental health treatment system have led
to the confinement of large numbers of adults and juveniles with mental
illnesses in American jails and prisons.
These individuals are often provided little or no treatment in these
facilities, and are frequently subjected to physical and sexual abuse,
solitary confinement and other inhumane practices.

Class action lawsuits have generally been the most effective tool for
asserting the rights of these individuals to basic and humane treatment.
Enactment of Senator Wellstone's Amendment to S. 1217 is crucial if
these basic rights are to be protected.

Reminder: S. 1217, the Commerce, Justice, State and the Judiciary
Appropriations bill, is scheduled for action on the Senate floor as
early as this evening, so time is of the essence!   Thank you for your
prompt attention.

BACKGROUND

The PLRA, enacted by Congress and signed into law in 1996, sharply
curtails the legal rights and remedies available to jail and prison
inmates, including those with mental illnesses.
The PLRA contains many damaging provisions, including limitations on the
scope and duration of consent decrees issued in cases involving
constitutional violations of prisoners rights, extremely low caps on
fees for special masters appointed by courts to administer consent
decrees, and financial disincentives for attorneys to provide legal
representation to jail and prison inmates.   Many of the consent
decrees in existence at the time the PLRA was enacted applied to the
rights of adult and juvenile offenders with mental illnesses, including
their right to psychiatric treatment.   Thus, the law has proven
particularly harmful to these individuals.

Last week, Rep. Tom Delay, (R. Texas) sponsored an Amendment (H.R. 1501)
to further limit the scope of the PLRA.   Rep. Delay's Amendment
required automatic termination of all consent decrees in effect on the
date the PLRA was originally passed.   His Amendment was enacted by
the House of Representatives after only 10 minutes of floor debate, with
no deliberations or hearings in Committee. The Delay Amendment, if
enacted by the Senate and signed into law, will impose even greater
limitations on the ability of prisoners with mental illnesses and
juvenile offenders to use the courts to assert their rights to humane
treatment and conditions of confinement.

Senator Wellstone is offering his legislation to S. 1217 to counter the
Delay Amendment. His legislation seeks to exempt children and
individuals with mental illnesses from the damaging provisions of the
PLRA. It would ensure that consent decrees protecting inmates with
mental illnesses remain in place.

 Officials Want New Forfeiture Bill

 .c The Associated Press

  By CASSANDRA BURRELL

 WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's top law enforcement agencies pressed their
effort to kill legislation that would curb the federal government's ability
to confiscate private property by telling senators Wednesday that it would
weaken their ability to fight crime.

 Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate subcommittee that the
Justice Department supports tightening the rules the federal government must
follow to seize cars, cash, homes and other property linked to crime.

 But a bill the House passed 375-48 last month ``crosses the line between
providing due process and giving unintended relief to drug dealers, money
launderers and other criminals who victimize the elderly and the vulnerable
in our society,'' he said Wednesday.

 ``There is legislation pending before the Congress which will, quite simply,
undercut the ability of law enforcement to forfeit illegally gained property
or property used to facilitate a crime, from drug dealers, terrorists, alien
smugglers and other criminals,'' said Richard Fiano, the Drug Enforcement
Administration's chief of operations.

 Holder asked the Senate Judiciary Committee's criminal justice oversight
subcommittee to support a more modest plan proposed by the Clinton
administration.

 Rep. Henry Hyde, D-Ill., the bill's author and chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, defended it as an effort to rid the legal system of a
practice too vulnerable to abuse. The law shouldn't allow police to seize
property simply because they suspect it was involved in wrongdoing, he said.

 Too many innocent citizens have been deprived of their cash or possessions
without due process, he said.

 ``There are some issues that really get to you, and this is one,'' he told
senators. ``I think if you're a drug dealer and you're guilty - not just
accused, but you're guilty - that you ought to lose your house, your car and
your shoes and socks. But when you're not guilty ... I don't want my country
confiscating property.''

 Police have used civil asset forfeiture to seize homes to shut down drug
operations quickly even before charges are filed. Investigators also have
seized boats, cash and other assets from suspected drug dealers in the hopes
of driving them out of businesses.

 Hyde faced skepticism from several subcommittee members. There should be a
way to strike a better balance between the rights of property owners and the
needs of law enforcement, said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

 ``Forfeiture is about the government using its powers to take private
property, and there must be adequate restrictions to prevent abuse of this
power,'' said Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. But the bill passed by the House
``may undermine the use of forfeiture law in the war against drugs, child
pornography, money laundering, telemarketing fraud, terrorism and a host of
other crimes,'' Thurmond said.

 Hyde criticized the Clinton administration's alternative plan Wednesday,
saying it would actually increase the government power to seize property, not
curb it.

 Under the Hyde bill, the federal government would have to prove with ``clear
and convincing'' evidence that the property was eligible for forfeiture if an
owner files a legal challenge.

 The administration's plan recommends a lower standard of proof, a
``preponderance'' of the evidence, which is standard in civil cases. Current
law requires property owners to prove they are not connected with the alleged
crime.

 The administration also believes Hyde's bill would require the release of
cash, vehicles and other property to owners demonstrating a ``hardship,''
pending a trial even when there is compelling evidence that the property was
used in a crime.

by East Tennessee Patriots..   Listed Below

On July 9th, the SAFAN No. 1283 ran the article "An International Trade
Corridor, Miles Wide, Will Cut U.S. in half," by Bobby Christian.  This is
the GATT International Trade Corridor, stretching all the way from Mexico,
right through the middle of the U.S., to Canada - which will be under U.N.
control.   The MAIN highways will be I-35, I-94, and I-9 - with Kansas City
as the hub for transfers etc., including to and from Railroads.

At the time, this was posted, I had not gone to the links (see below) to view
the  MAP of these highways.  Since then I found out that the Spider Web of
Superhighways connecting to the MAIN Superhighway includes Interstate
I-40 which runs West to East through the State of Tennessee - including
Knoxville.  To say the least, we are upset in these parts of the woods - and
WILL do everything in our power to stop this Superhighway network taking
away our Sovereignty.

A CALL TO ARMS
by Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
(Dots connected by Albert T. Viar ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

"Mister President,
it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth.
Is this the part of wise men,
engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be of the number of those,
who, having eyes, see not; and having ears, hear not,
The things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,
I am willing to know the whole truth;
To know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and
That is the lamp of experience.
I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.
Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer.
Sir, we have done everything that could be done
to avert the storm which is now coming on.
We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated;
we have prostrated ourselves before the throne,
and have implored its interposition
to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.
Our petitions have been slighted;
our remonstrances have produced additional violance and insult;
our supplications have been disregarded; and
we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne!
In vain, after these things, may we indulge
in the fond hope of peace and reconciliation.
There is no longer any room for hope.
If we wish to be free --
if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges
for which we have been so long contending --
if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle
in which we have been so long engaged, and
which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon,
until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained
--WE MUST FIGHT!
I repeat it, sir, we must fight!
An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak --
unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger?
Will it be the next week or the next year?
Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and
when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely
on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope,
until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use
of those means which the God of nature has placed in our power.
Three millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty,
and in such a country as that which we possess,
are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.
Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone.
There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations,
and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone;
it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.
Besides, sir, we have no election.
If we were base enough to desire it,
it is now too late to retire from the contest.
There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!
Our chains are forged.
Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitable -- and let it come!!
I repeat it sir, let it come!
It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.
Gentlemen may cry "peace, peace" -- but there is no peace.
The war is actually begun!
The next gale that sweeps from the north
will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!
Our brethren are already in the field!
Why stand we here idle?
What is it that gentlemen wish?
What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet
as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God - I know not what course others may take;
but as for me,
GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH!"

 Patrick Henry then took his seat. No murmur of applause was heard. The
effect was too deep. After the trance of a moment, several members started
from their seats.
 The cry, "TO ARMS" seemed to quiver on every lip and gleam from every
eye.
 No written records of this speech exist. The words were so powerful that
they were etched into the minds of every man present, who later assisted
biographer William Wirt to bring words to paper.
 Patrick Henry lived from 1736 to 1799. This speech was given before the
Virginia Provincial Convention (assembled after Lord Dunsmore had suspended
the Virginia Assembly) which was debating whether to send the militia under
arms to defend the colony against the Crown's Government, an act of treason.
 In arguments against the Stamp Act of 1765, he said
   "If this be treason, let us make the most of it."
 Patrick Henry was one of his native Virginia's delegates to the First and
Second Colonial Congresses (1774 and 1775), before becoming commander
of Virginia's military and militia forces, which post he resigned in February

 All along the railroad tracks in Kansas City are COSCO (Red Chinese)

PATRICK BUCHANAN, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, DISCUSSES THE
PRESIDENTIAL RACE

BOB SCHIEFFER, host:  Now we're going to turn to Republican politics, some
real
turmoil on the right side of the Republican Party this week. And we have
Republican
presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, who comes--and is not embarrassed to
say--
from the Republican right.

Mr. PAT BUCHANAN (GOP Presidential Candidate): Mm-hmm.

SCHIEFFER: What does this mean, Mr. Buchanan, because the news is that Bob
Smith, the--the senator from New Hampshire who was running for president--I
don't
think anybody thought he was going to get the Republican nomination except
perhaps
Senator Smith. He now says he's going to leave the party apparently and run
as the
candidate of the US Taxpayer Party. There is some reports that you may
actually...

Mr. BUCHANAN: Mm-hmm.

SCHIEFFER: ...leave the Republican Party before it's over and go to the
Reform Party,
perhaps. What's happening on the right side of the Republican Party here?

Mr. BUCHANAN: Well, I think with regard to Senator Smith, he's going through
a lot of
torment and anguish over whether to stay in the GOP. He's a friend of mine.
He's a fine
senator. And he's made his decision that he can best pursue and advance the
causes
in which he believes, which are very similar to what I believe, outside the
Republican
Party and the Taxpayer Party is a third party candidate. If he does that, and
I'm not
sure he has made the decision yet final, it's bad news for the Republican
Party.

GLORIA BORGER (CBS News; US News & World Report): Why is it bad news?

Mr. BUCHANAN: Well, I think Bob Smith has a conservative base in New
Hampshire
and the Taxpayer Party, while very tiny, I think it got less than a million
votes last
time, he could get quite a few votes over there.

BORGER: Well, let's talk about you.

Mr. BUCHANAN: Mm-hmm.

BORGER: There's a lot of talk and--and--and...

Mr. BUCHANAN: Mm-hmm.

BORGER: ...you've met with Governor Ventura yourself.

Mr. BUCHANAN: Right.

BORGER: There's talk about your trying for the Reform Party nomination. Is
that
something you are considering?

Mr. BUCHANAN: Right now, Gloria, I am in the Republican Party. I won the
Republican straw poll in New Hampshire. I intend to go out to Ames, Iowa, and
do my
best there, although the competition is a little stiffer out there, I will
concede. But I'm a
Republican and I'm running for the Republican nomination.

BORGER: Would you rule it out?

Mr. BUCHANAN: I'm not going to rule anything in or out at this point. But
what I do
represent, Gloria, is what I've represented for seven years. I'm going to
fight as long
and hard and as well as I can for a foreign policy that puts our own country
first and
keeps us out of wars like Kosovo, for a trade policy that puts our farmers
and workers
first, and for, quite frankly, the full restoration of America's sovereignty.
And I regret to
say that the Republican establishment is very Clintonite on all those issues.


SCHIEFFER: Well, now the chairman of the Republican Party, Mr. Nicholson,
wrote a--
what I would call a fairly nasty letter to Senator Smith...

Mr. BUCHANAN: Mm-hmm.

SCHIEFFER: ...told him that it was not the message that was being rejected in
his
case, but the messenger, referring to Senator Smith. We have Senator
McConnell,
who heads a Senate campaign committee...

Mr. BUCHANAN: Mm-hmm.

SCHIEFFER: ..saying he's going to now try to get back the money that the
Republican Party gave Senator Smith in his last election. What do you think
of--of the
reaction from the party itself, so far, to Senator Smith?

Mr. BUCHANAN: I think that Chairman Nicholson's letter was rude, insulting.
It was
arrogant, and ultimately, I think it was very stupid. You have probably--if
Smith were
not going to leave, he probably surely is going to now. I think the handling
of this has
been appalling on their part.

And quite ap--and quite frankly, I just think that the Republican
establishment is doing
its best right now to almost force a fracture in the GOP. I've been reading
about that
I'm to be presented with some kind of a loyalty oath.

JFK Jr. Coverage

A Portrait of America survey finds that most Americans think the media
overdid their coverage of the JFK Jr. story. The national telephone survey
found that 67% said that the television networks should have continued with
regular programming and simply provided news updates. Only 23% thought that
the decision to cancel regular network shows was appropriate. Americans over
65 were most likely to say it was appropriate to cancel regular programming.
Still, 57% of America's senior citizens thought that regular programming
should have continued. Americans under 30 were most likely to say that there
was no need to cancel programming. 72% of our nation's youngest adults share
this view.

KIDS AND THE WEB

DECLAN MCCULLAGH, WIRED: New federal legislation will force start-up Web
sites devoted to children to charge for access or go out of business,
entrepreneurs said Tuesday at a Federal Trade Commission hearing. "A small
Web site cannot survive," said Steven Bryan, CEO of children's portal site
zeeks.com  He said the liberal groups that champion government
regulation have seriously underestimated the cost of mailing letters to
parents asking for permission to give children accounts on sites -- which is
one proposal the FTC is considering.
"It's a multimillion dollar proposition to do this," Bryan said. "The only
people who can do this are Disney and Nickelodeon." A 1998 children's
privacy law requires the FTC to regulate the data collection practices of
Web businesses with content aimed at children.

JFK DEATH A "TRAGIC WASTE" SAY ANARCHIST DISSENTERS

"MUNIR HUSSAIN SOCIETY" FOUNDED IN CRASH AFTERMATH

"NO COMMENT" SAYS JELLO BIAFRA


NEW YORK, July 20, 1999 (CP) - An unorthodox controversy is currently
raging in anarchist and radical circles about the recent plane crash and
deaths of John Kennedy Jr, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Lauren Bessette.

Not suprisingly, many in the radical milieu have mocked the mainstream
media's "fawning" coverage of the affair. "Get a life!" was the response
of one leftist caller to the distraught listeners of a popular New York
City talk-radio show.

A Washington-based anarchist media source announced the missing JFK plane
story with a headline reading, "Worthless rich person pilots plane into
ocean."

Many self-described "class struggle" anarchists have expressed morbid
satisfaction in the occupations of the crash victims. They worked,
respectively, as a former New York City prosecutor, a Calvin Klein PR
executive and, most appropriately, a Wall Street investment banker and
venture capitalist.

Other extremists criticized John Kennedy Jr's widely-reported charity
efforts as the "cleansing of liberal guilt" and "poverty pimping." "If you
provoke us with yuppie hagiography, we're going to continue to take wicked
glee in this so-called tragedy," threatened Chicago-based radical, Lucy
Parsons.

The anarchists are blaming "inane commentaries" for their hardline and
seemingly heartless stance in the face of national and international
mourning for America's "crown prince". One man keeping vigil at JFK's
apartment in New York City described John Kennedy Jr as "just a normal
guy" as he laid flowers at an ad hoc memorial.

This prompted one anonymous bystander to yell, "Ya, a fucking normal guy
who owns a $300,000 plane and has multi-million dollar trust funds set up
by his anti-Semitic bootlegging granddaddy and Greek fascist capitalist
pig shipowning stepfather." The heckler was promptly arrested by the NYPD,
and criticized by some Greenwich Village Ralph Nader-supporters for
"divisive, ideological rhetoric."

North of the border, Canada's national newspaper, the Globe and Mail, ran
a front-page column which uncritically quotes from Kennedy biographer,
John Collier. He writes of the Kennedys, "There is something riveting
about people who live and die more dramatically than we do."

The quote caused one Montreal activist to unceremoniously vomit his
eclectic breakfast of soy milk, bananas, croissants and fresh raspberry
jam.

Dissenting anarchist opinions, however, are being heard above the
predictable radical din. Michael Eikhenbaum, a Long Island
anti-authoritarian, described the crash as a "tragic waste." He explains:

"From what I can gather, the plane was six-seater, so the crash was really
50% effective from my point-of-view. Using a simple math formula, I've
determined that at least three others could have fit into the plane
comfortably."

His colleague, Mollie Steimer, agrees: "Too bad they couldn't have flown
at least a few more annoying Kennedys, or at least one of those pasty
white Gore kids."

Eikhenbaum and Steimer's sentiments were countered by Paul Bousse, another
anarchist agitator, "It's all relative really," he said. "I'm an optimist,
so I like to think the plane was half-full rather than half-empty."

Oddly, some Buffalo-based activists have announced the formation of a
"Munir Hussain Society" in the aftermath of the crash. The society is
loosely modeled on the secretive "Henri Paul Memorial Society" formed in
the immediate aftermath of Princess Diana's 1997 death.

Henri Paul was the driver of Diana's limousine, which helps explain the
society's motto: "Every royal parasite deserves a drunk French chauffeur!"
Munir Hussain is believed to be the man who sold John Kennedy Jr his
ill-fated plane three months ago. He is not known to be an anarchist.

Meanwhile, Quebec media sources are reporting that the statue bust of John
F. Kennedy Sr in downtown Montreal has again been defaced with graffiti
reading "Ho, Ho, Ho ...  Ho Chi Minh!" It was apparently written by a
local anti-imperialist with a black marker, an irrational grudge and a
long memory.

Eccentric Lives
And Peculiar Notions
by John Michell
The first paperback edition of Michell's fascinating study of the lives
and beliefs of over 20 eccentric people. Published in hardback by Thames
& Hudson in London, Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions takes us into
the bizarre and often humorous lives of such people as Lady Blount, who
was sure that the earth is flat; Cyrus Teed, who believed that the earth
is a hollow shell with us on the inside; Edward Hine, who believed that
the British are the lost Tribes of Israel; and Baron de Guldenstubbe,
who was sure that statues wrote him letters. British writer and
housewife Nesta Webster devoted her life to exposing international
conspiracies, and Father O'Callaghan devoted his to opposing interest on
loans. The extraordinary characters in this book wereand in some cases
still arewholehearted enthusiasts for the various causes and outrageous
notions they adopted, and John Michell describes their adventures with
spirit and compassion. Some of them prospered and lived happily with
their obsessions, while others failed dismally. We read of the hapless
inventor of a giant battleship made of ice who died alone and neglected,
and of the London couple who achieved peace and prosperity by drilling
holes in their heads. Other chapters on the Last of the Welsh Druids;
Congressman Ignacius Donnelly, the Great Heretic and Atlantis;
Shakespearean Decoders and the Baconian Treasure Hunt; Early Ufologists;
Jerusalem in Scotland; Bibliomaniacs; more.

The Christ Conspiracy
The Greatest Story Ever Sold
by Acharya S.
In this highly controversial and explosive book, archaeologist,
historian, mythologist and linguist Acharya S. marshals an enormous
amount of startling evidence to demonstrate that Christianity and the
story of Jesus Christ were created by members of various secret
societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify the Roman
Empire under one state religion. In developing such a fabrication, this
multinational cabal drew upon a multitude of myths and rituals that
existed long before the Christian era, and reworked them for centuries
into the religion passed down to us today. Contrary to popular belief,
there was no single man who was at the genesis of Christianity; Jesus
was many characters rolled into one. These characters personified the
ubiquitous solar myth, and their exploits were well known, as reflected
by such popular deities as Mithras, Heracles/Hercules, Dionysos and many
others throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. The story of Jesus as
portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in detail to
that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, who for millennia
preceding Christianity held great favor with the people. The Christ
Conspiracy shows the Jesus character as neither unique nor original, not
"divine revelation."Christianity re-interprets the same extremely
ancient body of knowledge that revolved around the celestial bodies and
natural forces. The result of this myth making has been "The Greatest
Story Ever Sold."

Truth Behind the Mask Revealed
by Ralph Ellis
Imported from Britain, this hardback with 43 color plates traces the
history of the Egyptian royal family from the time of Noah through to
Jesus, comparing Biblical and historical records. Nearly all of the
biblical characters can be identified in the historical recordall are
pharaohs of Egypt or pharaohs in exile. The Bible depicts them as being
simple shepherds, but in truth they were the Hyksos, the Shepherd Kings
of Egypt. The Biblical story that has circulated around the globe is
simply a history of one family, Abraham and his descendants. In the
Bible he was known as Abram; in the historical record he is the pharaoh
Maybrathe most powerful man on Earth in his lifetime. By such simple
sleight of hand, the pharaohs of Egypt have hidden their identity, but p
reserved their ancient history and bloodline. These kings were born of
the gods; they were not only royal, they were also Sons of God.

[CTRL] New WTO chief a committed left-winger with a way with words

 -Caveat Lector-

New WTO chief a committed left-winger with a way with words

AUCKLAND, July 20 (AFP) - Mike Moore, who will head the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) for the next three years, is a committed left-winger who
has worked at everything from builder's labourer to prime minister.
But the 50-year-old New Zealander also has an unfortunate way with words.

He admits that his seemingly endless flow of ideas -- known as "Moorespeak"
-- do not always come out the way he intends.

Moore was also an unlucky prime minister, serving for just 10 weeks before
his Labour Party suffered a crushing election defeat in October 1990. But he
has also been foreign minister and trade minister, energetically pushing a
free commerce agenda.

The new chief trade regulator, worked briefly as a "freezing worker" in a
meat-processing factory. He says in his autobiography that he left school at
15 and was also a social worker, builder's labourer and printer.

But since 1972, when he was the youngest ever MP, he has devoted himself to
Labour Party left-wing politics.

His appointment to the WTO will come as a relief to Labour chief Helen Clark
who staged a coup against Moore's leadership in 1993. At the time he called
her a "chardonnay socialist".

Even a struggle against cancer did little to blunt Moore's passion for
politics and he has continued to hover on the fringes of a leadership return.

Moore speaks from the heart. But his style is erratic, emotional and
frequently just illogical. After making a deal over taxes, Moore said he felt
like a Bosnian Muslim whose "village has been raided, my goat impregnated, my
farmhouse burned down".

He says he is motivated by injustice and a desire to make things fair.

"I get incoherent with anger sometimes and it shows, unfortunately, when I
see some of the things that happen in this country and happened in my
background which have not been fair."

Moore admits his passion and voracious appetite for new ideas can make him
appear muddled.

"At times it's fair comment. I'm not an academic in the sense of the
discipline of doing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and I do forget that other people may not
have followed the same thought process to arrive at the same situation."

Moore has written eight books including his autobiography "Hard Labour",
which stressed his apparent childhood poverty, living underneath a shop in
Auckland where holes were drilled in the floor to let out floodwater from a
nearby river.

He often fudges the fact, however, that he went to one of the country's best
high schools, Dilworth. He became involved in the Labour Party while still a
teenager.

He first entered parliament in 1972 in a Labour landslide, but said losing
his seat three years later was a major blow in his life. In 1978, in a
different seat, he returned to parliament and has never left.

When David Lange became prime minister Moore became overseas trade minister.
He has always been a strong campaigner for free trade and in his post
constantly tramped the world stage touting his ideas -- and New Zealand jobs.

Lange stepped down in 1988 and Geoffrey Palmer became an immensely unpopular
prime minister. Ten weeks out from an inevitable election defeat Palmer
stepped down and Moore led the party into a wipe-out. When it became clear
Moore could not deliver a victory in 1993, Clark took over the leadership.

Moore is married to a radio show host, Yvonne. The couple have no children.

[CTRL] Nine dead, hundreds sickened by unnamed plague in southern Russia

Nine dead, hundreds sickened by unnamed plague in southern Russia

MOSCOW, July 21 (AFP) - A mysterious killer virus spreading across the south
of Russia has left nine dead and more than 100 hospitalized, with Russian
experts stumped as to the nature of the disease, news agencies reported.
Authorities in the region have banned the sale of food on open markets,
swimming holes have been declared off-limits, and hundreds of people have
fled from their homes in fear of the highly infectious disease.

Its victims suffer from a plague-like skin rash, internal bleeding and even
fatal brain hemorrhaging, symptoms which researchers said resemble a virus
called Congo-Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever, which last broke out in the region in
the 1950s, RIA Novosti reported Monday.

The latest outbreak first surfaced two weeks ago in the Rostov region, some
960 kilometers (600 miles) south of Moscow.

By Wednesday, six residents of the region's village of Oblimskaya - three of
them children - had died, and 136 more were hospitalied with symptoms of the
disease.

Over the past two days, similar cases began appearing in the neighboring
Volgograd and Stavropol regions. Three died in Stavropol, three more were
infected, and 32 were hospitalized in Volgograd, according to RIA Novosti.

The virus' alarming spread led the federal health ministry to set up a
special emergency commission, sending specialists from Moscow to the south,
where local doctors deny the infection has reached epidemic proportions,
according to ITAR-TASS.

All 32 of the victims hospitalized in Stavropol had come from the Rostov
region, RIA Novosti reported.

Medical experts remained divided as to the nature of the disease, with some
denying the possibility that Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever had resurfaced.
Others said the diagnosis was merely tentative and that research would not be
completed for another two to three weeks, ITAR-TASS reported Monday.

The Congo-Crimean fever first appeared in the Crimea for which it is named, a
region just 500 kilometers (300 miles) east of Rostov, in 1944, and is
transmitted by biting ticks that feed on warm-blooded animals, according to
RIA Novosti.

Doctors say the disease has no known cure, and can only be treated by
boosting the immune system.

One health official in the Rostov region said the outbreak was partly
facilitated by overall poor sanitation, including a failure to adequately
control rats, a common favorite for biting ticks.

Close to half of those stricken by the virus in Rostov were children, and
three were hospital workers infected by patients, according to RIA Novosti.

# SCIENTISTS: FIGHT PUBLIC FEARS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY. Pres. Roger N. Beachy of
Danforth Plant Science Center calls for US scientists to participate more
aggressively in the debate over agricultural biotechnology. Beachy notes
that a growing number of editorials and articles in the popular press, first
in Europe and more recently in the US, describe in exaggerated language the
"dangers and unknown effects" of the new crop varieties and the foods
derived from them. But in contrast to Europe, in the US the commercial use
of genetically modified crops since 1993 has occurred after comprehensive
scientific reviews and approval by federal regulatory agencies. At present
in the US, more than 40 percent of the corn, 50 percent of the cotton, and
45 percent of the soybean acres planted during 1999 will be genetically
modified, reducing the use of chemical pesticides by millions of pounds.
Beachy says: "It is important for scientists to realize that times have
changed and to engage in dialogue with the public rather than retreat from
it. And it is important to convey to the public that the great majority of
reputable scientists working in the field consider both the processes and
the products of agricultural biotechnology to be beneficial to the
environment and safe for the consumer." (Science 16 Jul 99)

AMERICAN FAMILIES IN CHILE
By MILTON RUBINCAM, F.A.S.G., of Green Meadows, Hyattsville, Md.

The history of Chile since the beginning of the 19th century is sprinkled
with names of non-Spanish origm. One of the foremost leaders in the fight for
independence from Spain was Don Bernardo O'Higgins, whose father, born plain
Ambrose Higgins of Ireland, attained the position of Governor of Chile from
1788 to 1796 and died aristocratically as Don Ambrosio O'Higgins. Powerful
assistance in the War for Independence was rendered by the turbulent British
peer, Thomas, Lord Cochrane (afterwards 10th Earl of Dundonald), and the
English soldier, General William Miller. One of the great Chilean families is
named Edwards; its founder, George, was born in London in 1780. He settled in
La Serena, Chile, in 1807, and is known there as Don Jorge Edwards Brown. His
descendants have exerted tremendous influence in the development of their
adopted country during the last century and a half. Another prominent Chilean
family of English origin is that of Cox; its founder, Nathaniel, early
participated in the struggle for freedom and accompanied O'Higgins on his
expedition to the South in 1817. A certain "Guillermo Wilkinson" was born
William Wilkinson, an Englishman who went to Chile with Lord Cochrane in
1818, entered the Chilean Navy, and quickly rose to the rank of Captam.

Little attention has been paid by American scholars to the achievements of
our countrymen in Chile. In various fields of activity their contributions
have been just as significant as those of Chilean families of British and
European origm. A Massachusetts sailor, Paul Delano, was one of Lord
Cochrane's ablest captains; his descendants represent one of Chile's
outstanding families. Charles Wooster, of New Haven, Conn., became
Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Navy. William Wheelwright, of Newburyport,
Mass., settled in Valparaiso and was prominent in the development of that
city's port facilities and public utilities; he also promoted many other
enterprises in Latin America, including steamship lines, railroads, telegraph
lines, etc. (See the English translation of J. B. Alberdi's "The Life and
Industrial Labors of William Wheelwright in South America," 1877; "Dictionary
of American Biography", XX, 63-64; V. Figueroa's "Dic. Hist., Biog. y
Bibliog. de Chile", V, 1089-99; and P. P. Figueroa's "Dic. Biog. de
Estranjeros en Chile", 237. As Wheelwright left no descendants in Chile, his
family is not included in this study.) A native of New Jersey who settled in
Chile was the father of two distinguished public servants of that country,
Manuel Foster Recabarren, Minister of War, and Enrique Foster Recabarren,
Minister of the Supreme Court of Chile.

The following list of American families in Chile is not an exhaustive
catalog; it is intended to serve only as a guide for genealogists of the
families recorded herem. Many American genealogists may not know of the
existence of the Chilean branches of their families. The writer's researches
have corrected some errors in published genealogies, and in other cases have
brought to light additional data.

The chief authorities for the list follow:

1. "Diccionario Biografico de Chile" (1936). (To be cited hereinafter as Dic.
Biog. 1936.)

2. "Diccionario Biografico de Chile", 7th edition, 1948. (Cited as Dic. Biog.
7 ed.)

3. Guillermo de la Cuadra Gormaz, "Origen y Desarollo de las Familias
Chilenas" (2 vols., 1948-9).

4. Juan Luis Espejo, "Nobiliaro de la Antigua Capitania General de Chile" (2
vols., 1917-21).

5. Pedro Pablo Figueroa, "Diccionario Biografico de Estranjeros en Chile"
(1900).

6. Virgilio Figueroa, editor, "Diccionario Historico, Biografico y
Bibliografico de Chile".

7. Rev. Padre Luis Mansilla Vidal, "Relacion Genealogica de varias Familias
Chiloensis" (1927).

8. Percy Alvin Martin, Ph.D., editor: "Who's Who in Latin America" (1935).

9. Carlos Pinto Duran, "Diccionario Personal de Chile" (1924).

10. Milton Rubincam, "American Citizens and Seamen at Talcahuano Chile,
1846-1854", National Genealogical Society Quarterly, XXXVII (March, 1949),

With the exception of Nos. 1-2, above, these works will be cited in the
references by the names of their authors or editors. Other publications will
be given their full titles in the lists of sources following the various
sketches.

An explanation of the system of nomenclature prevailing in Chile is in order.
The common practice is to show both the father's and the mother's names as
follows: Carlos Van Buren Vallejo. Thus, at a glance, we know that his
paternal surname is Van Buren, and his mother's maiden name was Vallejo. Some
years ago, Senor Aureliano Burr, of Santiago, Chile, informed the writer of
an amusing mix-up that occurred in the United States. He is k

"All men were created free, and now they are everywhere in chains."
—J. J. Rousseau

INTRODUCTION—BILLIONS AND BUNKUM

True opinions can prevail only if the facts to which ,they refer are known;
if they are not known, false ideas are just as effective as true ones, if not
a little more effective " . . .
Walter Lippmann,— " Liberty and the News."

IN his search for facts the newspaperman on foreign service contends with
more censorship, propaganda, intimidation and frequently terrorism in
Continental Europe nowadays than in that supposedly dark journalistic age
which preceded the world war. Progress has been made in the past ten years
but of all the liberties which were outlawed and debased during the great
conflict that of the press seems to have recovered least.

For many and mighty reasons all governmental agencies of suppression in many
countries continue to function with unrelenting thoroughness. They are
directed against public opinion in the United States and England because
these are the dominant nations. So long as Lombard Street ruled the money
market the Continent sought to influence British public opinion; now that the
United States has increased its foreign investments to $15,000,000,000,
European chancelleries are dividing their effort, but they are also
increasing it because they realize how much depends on the loans they raise
and the moral support they obtain from their creditors.

The British investment has always been conservative; the fifteen billion
dollars which America has spent has been plunged with a sometimes reckless,
frequently ignorant hand into the rehabilitation of Europe. Some of this
money has been used to raise wheat, some to build submarines and perfect
poison gases; billions may be safe and at work for material progress and
peace, but billions are unsafe because they prepare for new wars.

The presidents, kings and dictators of Continental Europe have been taught
the full power of the press but recently, yet they are making extreme use of
their knowledge. They have their friendly or their purchased press in Great
Britain; toward America, which knows so pathetically little about the
numerous lands over which it has cast its billions, the foreign offices have
exercised a refined, more subtle, sometimes Machiavelian system of propaganda
and censorship.

In one country the bankers' and manufacturers' associations have assumed
arbitrary power, in another a perverted philosophy is in control of human
fate; in a third an egomaniac rules and in a fourth medieval corruption has
temporarily crushed all liberal resistance; therefore the word is spread
throughout the dominant nations, America and Britain, that democracy is
unsuitable for most of Continental Europe, that it has proven a fraud and a
failure, that parliaments are a drag on the efficient expression of the will
of a people, freedom is a modern delusion, truth is a false god arid liberty
nothing but a chimaera. The new propaganda reigns.

It boasts material progress. It points to trains running on time, to roads
built, to budgets balanced, to efficiency in mines and factories. It says
nothing of the fear of death and the fear of violence which are crushing the
last remnants of those fighting for individual and mass liberty in many
lands. Anyone can see the trains running on time, but who is willing to open
his eyes to see the hidden terror which is holding many millions of civilized
people captive? The international bankers and all

I believe with Mr. Lippmann that false ideas are frequently more effective
than true ones and I know that there is a world of a difference between the
mistakes which journalists make frequently but honestly and the official
propaganda, the half truths, the ballons d'essai, the canards, and, to drop
euphemism, the official lies of many dictators and premiers of Continental
Europe. I also cling to that very old-fashioned belief that the press is the
most powerful estate and that the journalist is (or should be) the great
moulder of public opinion. Yet for twenty years I have heard again and again
the layman's question: Why don't the papers print the truth; why don't the
reporters write the truth?

Many answers have been written concerning national journalism; this book, by
incident and adventure and the presentation of documents and facts, is an

The Paranoid Style in American Politics and Other Essays.
By Richard Hofstadter. (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1965. Pp. xiv, 315. $5.95)

Richard Hofstadter's style of history rather than the paranoid style of
American politics provides unity to this collection of essays. Readers
familiar with Hofstadter's history will recognize most of the seven essays.
Despite this, their publication as a unit is fortunate, because in the heated
historical debate which has whirled around Professor Hofstadter since the
appearance of The Age of Reform in 1955, the arguments often centered on
specific points of fact or peripheral issues, overshadowing the conceptual
pattern fundamental to Hofstadter's approach. While the lucid style and
provocative conclusions which characterize the essays, make them incisive in
their own right, the book as a whole, perhaps derives its greatest value from
the opportunity it provides for a much needed dispassionate re-examination of
the author's historical methodology.

After considering the "paranoid style" in American history, Hofstadter
examines the recent expression of that style in the political right. He
defines the paranoid style as a conspiratorial world -view seen in
apocalyptic terms, which dictates a militant and uncompromising posture for
adherents in their struggle against the demonic conspiracy which would
destroy the nation, culture and way of life. This style Hofstadter tells us,
appeared as early as 1798 when elements of the New England clergy saw the
Bavarian Illuminati behind the Jeffersonians, and has  since reappeared in
various historical guises: the anti-Masonic move-ment, anti-Catholicism,
Populism, McCarthyism and the contemporary radical right. Hofstadter
suggests, but  unfortunately fails to explore in depth, that the paranoid
world view stems from religious millennialism. In discussing the forces that
propel the paranoid disposition into, political activity, Hofstadter returns
to a basic theme, and the paranoid style becomes for him an ex-pression of
"status politics."

Hofstadter's conception of "status politics"  juxtaposed to "in-terest
politics" provides the framework for the remaining essays. He argues that
non-economic issues stemming from anxiety over social status and identity,
which the melting pot and social mo-bility heightened, find greater
opportunity for political expres-sion in periods when material interests
appear less urgent. Hof-stadter concludes that "in depressions or during
great bursts of economic reform people vote  for what they think are their
economic interests, in times of prosperity they feel free to vote
Their prejudices." Thus, in Hofstadter's view, the contemporary  radical
right fits this pattern because their pseudo-conservatism appeals to the old
stock white Republicans losing status and immigrant groups. on the rise. For
these groups, Goldwater's presidential campaign represented a clear appeal to
status politics against the immorality of "something for everybody" interest
politics.

In the second group of essays Hofstadter applies his conception to other
aspects of the modern era. Status politics, rather than rational economic
arguments, gave impetus to the Spanish American War and imperialism, as well
as the turn of the century anti-trust movement and the recent
institutionalizing of anti-trust activity. In the Final essay, Hofstadter
details the free silver movemerit and the place of William H. "Coin" Harvey
in that movement. Harvey represented popular thought, and Hofstadter's
description of the Populist mind was earlier explicit in The Age of Reform.

With the essay on Harvey, Hofstadter brings the historian back to the start
of the debate, and again underlines the significance of status politics as a
tool for understanding American history. He engages in some honest revision,
which his critics will find gratifying, but on the whole reaffirms his
historical approach.

The Social Structure of Revolutionary America.
By Jackson T. Mam. (Princeton, N. J. Princeton University Press, 1965. Pp.
viii, 330, $6.50)

Jackson Turner Main's The Social Structure of Revolutionary America is the
latest and most comprehensive attempt to utilize the norms of modern
sociological and economic analysis in an interpretation of the revolutionary
period. This is a novel study, which is both an outline for future research
and a challenge to historians concerned with the meaning of the American
Revolution. Its broad sweep takes in North and South, social orders, living
styles, horizontal and vertical mobility, and the meaning of "class." Main
holds that America for the period 1763-1788 was a fluid, flexible, mobile,
achieving society, inhabited by a people of plenty. Class consciousness, if
that means that men were "aware of a hierarchical structure and of their own
rank within it," hardly existed at all. However, almost three hundred pages
of probate and tax research show that class as "a rank order within which an
individual can move up or down without any insurmountable difficulty" did
exist in this era.

The first part of this book is a detailed study of the economic class
structures in the North and South. For the North, Main posits four regional
types. First was the frontier community, marked by high mobility and the
concentration of a third of its land in the hands of the top 10% of the
farmers. An even greater diffusion of land ownership existed in the
subsistence farm areas, although land there had little market value. This was
in sharp contrast to the commercial farm communities, with their fertile soil
and access to markets, in which the top 10% of the farmers owned half the
land. Finally, there were the urban societies in which the top group
controlled 600% of the wealth. The South differed from the North in that it
was more rural. There the great commercial farms marked the land as did the
slave system. Both North and South shared a lower class of rural and urban
white laborers who constituted about a fifth of the population. However, over
half of all the whites formed a middle class of farmers, artisans, and other
small property owners. The large farmers, professional men, and shopkeepers
formed an upper middle class. Finally an upper class existed, made up of the
merchants, lawyers, and major landowners. A characteristic of all of these
groups was mobility. However, it was the city, not the countryside that
offered the greatest possibility of success. Main's figures show that close
to 70% of the New York and Boston merchants in 1790 were self-made men. Many
of these conclusions, as the author admits, are to be found in one form or
another in the studies of Bailyn, Bridenbaugh, Jensen, Grant, and Crevecoeur.
What Main has done is to categorize the social scene and then present a
synthetic view of the "Good Society."

Main concludes his important study by affirming that the "Revolution made
great changes." One would expect that a book dealing with the social
structure of Revolutionary America would have something to say about those
changes. In point of fact this 1763-1788 era is treated as a time sequence.
Could not the findings of this study be equally valid for the years 1748 to
1763? Actually Main, far from showing revolutionary change, argues for a
conservative interpretation. This revolutionary society, with its openness,
its mobility its social and economic fluidity (blacks excluded), was
certainly' not agitated by malcontents who sought to right social or economic
injustice. The modern historian is thus faced with the puzzling prospect of
reemphasizing ideologi-cal considerations. Perhaps only by returning to the
thought content of the revolutionary generation c - an the significance
of the Revolution be understood.

Incorrect.  Mistaking the virtual for the real is faulty logic.  I may
be a "slave" to my emotions, desires, proclivities, obligations, but I
have the freedom to choose - to stay or leave, work or not [and maybe
starve], websurf or do something productive.  Slaves generally aren't
allowed online, aren't allowed to freely transport themselves about by
car/train/bus/plane, aren't allowed to dress funny or change channels.
The "slavery" you proclaim is metaphorical; the map is not the territory.

In the above quotes you have substituted the word 'actual' where I
used the word 'virtual'.  You are deliberately distorting my state-
ments, falsifying my words.  This is dishonest, scabrous behavior,

Police State of the Union

By Wayne Henderson


"Does a billy club cracking a skull make a sound, if the media choose to
ignore it?"
-Don Felder, Boston Globe, 29 June 1989

"How many Riverside cops does it take to shoot an unconscious black
woman a dozen times?"

"None. She fell down a flight of stairs while resisting arrest."

Bring up the topic of police brutality, abuse of police power, or
politically-motivated false arrest, and immediately the discussion is
cast in terms of race and racial animosities; the assumption in those
segments of society willing to admit that the word "police" is not a
synonym for "the hand of god" - being that abuses of police power
invariably involve racist white cops abusing innocent blacks (or to a
lesser degree, hispanics or asiatics). The people making this assumption
are not, to blame: whosoever defines the terms of an argument, controls
the argument, and the state-controlled media define the terms of an
argument, controls the argument, and the state-controlled media define
the terms of the argument for a nation of media addicts.

Make no mistake about what I say: blacks and other people of color
certainly are victimized by the police; contrary to media-guided
opinion, however, it is not a question of white cops, nonwhite
civilians, and racism. It is, in fact, a question of class-based
violence, the police bing the gestapo of a privileged elite, enforcing
"plantationb law" on anyone and everyone who knows the misfortune of
being born into one of the slave castes.

It must be remembered that a "professional" police force essentially a
standing army, deployed in our streets to maintian control' - is a
phenomenon little more than a century old in this country. That the
police are deployed by the same self-constituted "upper" classes that
deploy military units in countries, friendly and otherwise, around the
world, gives us the clearest indication of the police mandate: the
police are not constituted with the intention of preventing crime [which
they plainly cannot, and do not, do], nor with the intention of
enforcing the law [John & Patsy Ramsey, the Eappens, John DuPont, and
Tom & Michael Skakel, among others, clearly illustrate that only poor
people are ever suspected of, let alone guilty of, murder] - the police
are constituted solely for the purpose of enforcing the will of the
elite upon the slaves.

In 1893, Emma Goldman was arrested, tried and convicted, and imprisoned,
for the "crime" of telling a crowd of poor people at Union Square that
they should demand work from the rich, or, if the rich would not provide
jobs, to demand food from the rich, or, if the rich gave no bread, that
the poor had a 'sacred right' to take bread from the rich. She is but
one well-known example of the systematic, and often brutal,
victimization of the less-than-contented poor by the standing army of
the elite. Through the 'Red Scare' and the Palmer raids, violent
suppression of strikes and other actions before and during the Great
Depression, imprisonment of conscientious objectors and draft resistors
during WWII, the McCarthy-era "loyalty oaths", COINTELPRO, and the
ongoing "War On Crime" and "War On Drugs", the essence of oppression,
the "thing in itself" (as Marcus Aurelius would describe it), is that
those who enjoy wealth and privilege arm and empower the most
dangerously psychotic, violence-prone sociopaths among the slave caste
to hold a gun to the heads of their neighbors, and thus keep the slave
quarters under control, if not quite.

It is illustrative to note that recently-proposed legislation that would
have barred anyone with a conviction for such felonies as Spousal Abuse,
Domestic Violence, or Stalking, from possessing a firearm - even for
work-related purposes - was defeated by vehement opposition from unions
representing and prison guards, a social group distinguished by their
tendency to commit precisely these felonies. These same unions are among
the most aggressive supporters of gun-control legislation aimed at non-
police.

While police brutality and abuses of police power are constant in our
society, media interest - directed by the government for propaganda
purposes - is limited to such cases as the Louima and Rodney King
assaults, the Dialo murder, and to a lesser extent the ongoing efforts
to free Mumia Abu Tamal. Structuring discussion in terms of race, and
race alone, aside from merely, masking the full extent of the problem,
also serves to keep the slaves at each others' throats, based upon
perceptions that poor whites are somehow 'favored' by the police. The
truth - the "thing itself" - is that the police, regardless of
race-of-origin, regard the poor, regardless of race-of-origin, as
legitimate targets; worse yet, easy targets, as the overwhelming
majority of abusive, violent, and perjurous police are never held to
answer for clearly criminal behavior. Justin

Editor’s Note: We’ve always had a lot of respect for George Magazine. No

understand politics -- the New Republic for the Entertainment Tonight
 generation. George’s unrelenting effort to strip any and all discussion
of political issues from its coverage of politics, rendering the entire
democratic process a superficial joke, all in the interest of turning a
quick buck, gives us here at Conspire.Com a goal we can really aspire
to. That’s why when the ad-page-challenged, JFK, Jr.-managed, Big
Apple-based mag approached 70 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time
 co-author Jonathan Vankin last year, and asked if he would like to
write a 1,200-word piece profiling some of his favorite conspiracy guys,
well, we just picked up that phone and yelped, “You’re darn tootin’!”
(Actually, that’s not exactly the way we put it, but we’ve been waiting
for four years to use the phrase “You’re darn tootin’!” somewhere on
this Godforsaken, pain-in-the-butt Web site.)
The article was slated to run last October in a special “Conspiracy

Princes of Paranoia -- Exposed!



ALEX CONSTANTINE
Author: “Psychic Dictatorship in the USA,” “Virtual Government.”
AGE: “About 40”

WHY HE’S INTO CONSPIRACY: Covered “Satanic cult” murder trial. “I
discovered there were Star Wars connections and Reagan White House
connections to this group.”

CLASSIFIED DOSSIER: The pseudonymous Constantine weaves O.J. Simpson,
UFO abductions, the L.A. riots, River Phoenix and Satanic cults into a
web CIA-Nazi-military mind control operations -- of which Constantine
himself was (he says) a target. “The CIA used me in three years of
experimentation. I was electronically bombarded. I was victimized. It’s
very advanced technology.” Okay. But won’t people who read this think
he’s a nut? “Good! They’re going to deny to the end, so let them deny.
One or two people will read this and understand. That will be their
inspiration.”


JIM KEITH
AGE: 48
Author: 10 conspiracy tomes since 1992.

WHY HE’S INTO CONSPIRACY: “A profound alienation from human culture.“

CLASSIFIED DOSSIER: The irrepressible Keith is just as likely to service
the insatiable UFO crowd with tracts like “Saucers of the Illuminati” as
to hammer home the militia-friendly themes of his “Black Helicopters
Over America” and “OK Bomb.” (The latter probes such possibilities as
whether “Timothy McVeigh was a mind-controlled intelligence agency
asset.” ) “I find the militia guys a lot less threatening than the
establishment,” says Keith, who isn’t willing to specify how much
conspiracy theory he finds credible. “It’s a touchy subject because if
presented wrong it makes me look like a complete hypocrite. In fact, I’m
only a partial hypocrite.”


RICHARD METZGER
AGE: 32
Founder: DisInformation web site.

WHY HE’S INTO CONSPIRACY: Worked on 1992 Jerry Brown presidential
campaign. “It wasn’t that I saw a conspiracy not to give him air time.
But there would be 10,000 people at his rallies. And the media would

*** Kennedy, airplane wreckage located

WASHINGTON (AP) - The wreckage of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s airplane was
located early Wednesday, with Kennedy's body still aboard, off the
coast of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., according to senior government
sources. "They've got the fuselage and John Kennedy's in it," a
government source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told
The Associated Press. There was no immediate information about the
bodies of Kennedy's wife and sister-in-law, who also were on board
the plane when it crashed Friday night. It crashed while carrying
Kennedy, 38, his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, 33, and her sister
Lauren Bessette, 34. The fuselage was located overnight by a remote
diving vehicle equipped with a robotic camera, according to a senior
official. The USS Grasp was being repositioned so divers could go
down and assist with the recovery, the administration official said.

I hope this isn't true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isChip Tatum
knew too many of the Bush family's

On the other hand, ask yourself a slightly more complex question :  Who
would benefit from people assuming that Bush or his friends had Chip
Tatum killed?

If Bush's people did it then they are clever enough to hatch this evil
plot, but not so clever to simply make him dissappear like Jimmy Hoffa.

Bush seems to be dealing with embarasing revelations by admitting them
and then saying "So what?".  It seems to be working...

Oh well.

   The average American has never heard of Chip
Tatum, and many people are unaware of his allega-
tions because the CORPORATE-CONTROLLED media will not give this issue the
attention it deserves.
 By "eliminating" Tatum, Bush (or his friends) can
achieve two objectives :

1.) Stop Tatum from talking---DEAD MEN TELL NO
TALES !!!  With the complicity of the media, (news
blackout), very few people would ever know, or care
that Tatum has been silenced.

2.) Send a message to all others who have knowledge of Bush's involvment in
the
TREASONOUS plot to
flood this country with cocaine :

SHUT UP, OR DIE !!!

 Clinton and 'martial law'

 Posse Comitatus Act
 no check on White House power,
 attorneys claim


 By Sarah Foster
 May 21, 1999
 WorldNetDaily

 President Clinton doesn't need to sign an executive
 order to start a full-scale gun grab. He doesn't need to
 declare martial law if he wants to use the armed forces
 to deal with public unrest. And if he figures a state
 government isn't doing all it should to enforce some
 federal law that nobody likes, he can use federal troops
 to make certain that the law is complied with -- even if
 the governor and everyone living in the state are
 adamantly opposed to it.

 He can do all these things on his own, without seeking
 advice or approval from Congress.

 Not even the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which
 Congress intended as a shield to protect citizens from
 the military, places any significant limitations on
 presidential power.

 That's what Virginia attorneys William Olson and Alan
 Woll discovered when they looked into the matter for
 Gun Owners of America, a Washington-based lobbying
 organization dedicated to defending the Second
 Amendment.

 Last December Olson and Woll published an analysis
 on "Executive Orders and National Emergencies:
 Presidential Power Grab Nearly Unchecked," which
 was featured in WorldNetDaily. This earlier work
 prompted Larry Pratt, president and executive director
 of GOA, to commission the attorneys to examine a
 related issue.

 "I asked them to look at all the executive orders and see
 if there was a nexus with guns; some kind of hook that
 would allow the government to get a hook on our trigger
 guards, so our guns can be pulled from our hands
 through some power they had delegated to themselves
 by executive order," Pratt recalled in a telephone
 interview.

 Though unable to find a direct reference that would
 permit gun confiscation, "What they discovered was
 worse," said Pratt. "The president doesn't have to sign
 an executive order. He already has the power to go
 after our guns."

 The 35-page Olson-Woll report entitled "Presidential
 Powers to Use the U.S. Armed Forces to Control
 Potential Civilian Disturbances," developed naturally
 from their earlier research, but it is written as though it
 were a memo to the president, from a "Counsel's
 Office," in response to a White House request for a
 legal opinion about how far the president can go in using
 the military for law enforcement purposes in the event of
 a Y2K or other crisis: Would a declaration of martial
 law be necessary to call out the military? What about
 the Posse Comitatus Act?

 "This memorandum is fictional but accurately depicts the
 broad powers assumed and exercised by presidents to
 utilize U.S. military forces to regulate civilian activity,"
 the authors state in a disclaimer.

 "We wrote it that way to draw peoples' attention to the
 issues," Olson explained by telephone. "We hoped that
 using this format to present the information would make
 it more real. A lot of what we talk about sounds like
 history, but it's quite current, and one could imagine the
 president asking for advice on this very issue."

 The answers to the hypothetical questions came as a
 "complete surprise" to Larry Pratt and to the authors
 themselves. "We had no idea that his powers were so
 broad," said Olson. "The fact that there are these vast
 standby statutory powers is shocking. I'm afraid
 Congress keeps passing the laws that grant this power
 and never stands back and asks, 'What have we done?'
 It's time that they start looking and asking."

Victims Of Masonic Ill-Treatment 17 July 1999


Anyone criticised or maligned in these publications has a guaranteed

suffer from the machinations of the JMF as non-Masons and non-Jews are.

LETTING IT ALL HANG OUT

The Right to be Naked in Public Group is holding a demonstration on the
steps of the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, London, at 2 p.m. on
Wednesday 28 July.We will not be attending.   Our apologies are
tendered for the disappointment this will cause our lady admirers.
Peter Mandelson, Nick Brown, Chris Smith, Ron Davies may watch the
demonstration with Lord and Lady Puttnam and others of their ilk.

ALBERT DRYDEN

 We wrote a short letter to Mr Dryden at H M Prison, Durham.   After
much cajoling we managed to get 6 members for the One Nation Anti Mason
Party. Many of the victims of our authorities now realise that our legal
system is organised crime both within the courts and outside the courts.
Surely we must fight fire with fire.We can do so and still not break
the law. Instinctively our hearts and minds should applaud Albert
Dryden's attitude if not his method.   We firmly believe that we require
a One Nation Anti Mason Party and a figurehead like Albert Dryden.   You
can call us a vulgar, foul-mouthed extremist anarchist.That will
look after your conscience but it will not get you out of the holes you
are in.How about sending Albert a short letter?   Every time you
take a step you shake the world.
  We have just learned that Albert Dryden has been moved to another
prison. We are grateful to our anonymous caller for the following
information.
Date: 04 July 1999 20:23   Subject: ALBERT DRYDEN
###   I've just seen my friend today.   Apparently Albert is now in HM
Prison Garth, C Wing, UlLNES WALTON LANE, LEYLAND, Lancs. PR5 3NE,
having been moved there from Durham's Franklin prison (not Durham - but
still cat A prisoners/IRA). His solicitor managed to get hold of prison
reports on Albert.   Some reports described him as the most dangerous
man there.   His solicitor was able to rubbish the reports and had him
transferred to category B, HMP Garth. I am informed that in the 9 years
he has spent inside he has suffered two heart attacks. My friend says
that he is a shadow of his former self,considering that he was at one
time a winner of the "Mr Consett" competition.   As to a release date,
Albert's lack of "repentance" may well see him die in prison.
WITH REGARD TO COLLINSON IT IS ALLEGED THAT HE WAS A GOLFING BUDDY OF
DURHAM'S CHIEF CONSTABLE AND WAS WIDELY REGARDED, IN HIS PLANNING
POSITION AS BEING AN EVIL AND VINDICTIVE BULLY. I don't know how much
you know about the incident, or shall I say media circus.   After
shooting Collinson, Albert shot at the now rapidly departing posse,
hitting a reporter in the arm and a PC in the buttock. Not widely
known is that Albert fired a further 70 or so shots wrecking several TV
company vehicles, reporters' cars and the earthmover despatched to knock
his house down.   On a humorous note the PC wounded in the buttock had
to be transferred from his post in Consett to nearby Stanley because of
taunts of "two arseholes" from local school children.
  I don't know how many people would have acted differently in the same
situation.   Collinson orchestrated the appalling public humiliation of
Albert Dryden.  He invited TV crews, photographers and reporters to take
part.   In the face of such degradation there was only one conclusion
for such a proud man.   ###
Further comment:Some prison doctors are evil and some are saints.
It is not too difficult to induce a heart attack. We have had a letter
dated 12 July from Mr Dryden whose prison number is CK0635.Between
February 1997 and September 1998 Mr Dryden submitted 250 pages of
information to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.His case
should have been referred back to the Court of Appeal but he did not
have a snowball's chance in Hell primarily on account of the Masonic
sympathies of the Commission.   Had his case gone to the Court of Appeal
he would have been knocked back for the same reason. How can we
convince the public that we are reaching the stage when there will have
to tackle crooked politicians and judges if we are to prevent civil
strife? Mr Dryden is keen to collect £20,000 to engage George Carman, Q.
C. because Mr Carman "wins all his cases".   We would not pay a penny to
George Carman or to any other QC especially if we were appealing against
a conviction for an alleged crime.   In Mr Dryden's case George Carman

As I posted on this topic, most of it hinted with perversion by sleazemeister
MATT DRUDGE on his website.

The mysterious flash in the sky seen by a reporter on Martha's Vineyard around
the time of the disappearance has fueled conspiracy theories. Was the crash an
air explosion caused by a fuel leak, short circuit, an explosive device? Last
Saturday, CNN kept bringing in a parade of "specialists" including one
investigator that was there to speak about the anniversary of TWA Flight 800
and theories that had about terrorism and foul play, that couldn't completely
be ruled out.

Finding the husk of the plane and engine was especially crucial as it would
determine traces of explosives or devices with wiring, timers, water proof
combustable chemicals. Such a discover would determine a change in the
sleuthing to "homicide." Which is why (contrary to some naysayers here), this
investigator talked about looking into the backgrounds of JFK Jr. and the two
Bessette sisters, particularly with Morgan Stanley brokerage house and smaller
troubled staff reports about the Calvin Klein corporation and the
infrastructure behind GEORGE magazine. The other area would be insurance life
claims.

Today the news reports that the JFK Jr. post mortem estate is worth around 50
million clams. With sister Caroline and nefews/neices as 1st beneficiaries,
followed by charities. NY state has a law that if no bodies are found of a
missing claimant after 3 years, the estate will be activated in absentia,
though in the JFK Jr. case, evidence reveals this crash may not have been a
"planned disappearance" or that bodies will be found. The press hasn't
revealed
if there was a prenuptial agreement. Worst of all, and Darkness help the JFK's
lovers, is the distant rumor (Matt Drudge's word not mine), that the Bessette
family can claim a "civil suit" upon the estate of JFK Jr. for negligence
leading to the deaths of innocent civilians. Not helping the matter is the
media playing up Caroline's fear of the little plane JOHN JOHN wasn't
proficient to fly in bad conditions.

Expect layers of wierdness to come out of this case, and sadly, some nasty
creepiness from varying family members with the settlement of the estate, the
trademark of the name/image of JFK Jr., and the real potential of "civil
suits"
to follow. Matt Drudge is a sleazemeister pimp, yet a reporter with leads and
insider sources. I no longer say, "you're crazy Matt." We said that in the
beginning with Monica Lewinsky and a certain GAP dress..

[CTRL] TWA 800 Whistleblower Contemplates Legal Action

[Bard]

TWA 800 Whistleblower Contemplates Legal Action

Justice Department prosecutors and the National Transportation and Safety
Board deliberately misconstrued the facts in an attempt to persuade U.S.
District Court Judge Joanna Seybert that two TWA 800 whistleblowers belonged
behind bars.

That's the charge from James Sanders who, along with his wife Elizabeth, was
convicted in April of conspiring to steal evidence from the plane's
reconstructed wreckage housed at Long Island's Calverton air base. On Friday
Judge Seybert sentenced Mr. Sanders to three years of probation and 50 hours
of community service. Mrs. Sanders received one year of probation and 25
hours of community service.

Sanders tells Inside Cover exclusively that the government was downright
malicious in its attempt to make an example out of him and his wife. For
instance, in a letter written to Judge Seybert before their sentencing, NTSB
chairman James Hall claimed that Sanders had misrepresented the facts,
causing thousands of TWA 800 family members extreme grief, thereby unduly
undermining the credibility of the government's TWA 800 probe.

In 1997 TWA investigator Terrell Stacey gave Sanders swatches of the 747's
seat fabric which were stained with a red substance that laboratory tests
later showed was consistent with missile exhaust residue. Sanders described
the episode for his 1997 blockbuster, "The Downing of TWA Flight 800".

Sanders says prosecutors used overheated rhetoric and false charges in an
attempt to ratchet up his punishment:

"They tried to pile on, saying I obstructed justice by claiming that I told
a key witness that she could develop amnesia after she had received a
subpoena. I did tell her that, but it was before, not after, the subpoena.
But thanks to the Justice Department, the judge was led to believe it was
just the opposite."

Legally, it's far more serious to coach a witness once he or she has been
formally subpoenaed.

"The Justice Department was trying to set up a scenario that would warrant
putting me in prison for up to six months and fining me $5,000," said the
free-lance investigator.

Sanders believes that what the NTSB and Justice Department tried to do may
be legally actionable. "If the NTSB cannot back up the malicious charge that
I misrepresented the facts, and that's what caused all this pain and
suffering, then they are civilly liable."

The two federal agencies may soon see the TWA whistleblower again in court.
Sanders is currently huddling with legal advisors, contemplating the
feasibility of a civil suit that could blow the lid off the entire TWA 800
cover-up.

No Expense Spared in JFK Jr. Search

On Saturday, rescue officials assured reporters that the search for John F.
Kennedy Jr., his wife and sister-in-law was being handled no differently
than would be the case for any other American lost at sea.

"The same amount of effort would have been expended for an average citizen,"
said Capt. Sandy Troeber of the Air Force's rescue coordination center in
Virginia. "Every life is as important as the next."

On the other hand, as John Jr.'s father once noted, "Life is unfair."

As far as the Kennedy search goes, the late president seems to be closer to
the mark than Capt. Troeber.

The hunt for JFK Jr.'s plane now involves the Coast Guard, the National
Transportation and Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, the
U.S. Navy, the Transportation Dept., the National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration -- not to mention a whole host of state agencies.

On Saturday, before debris began to wash up on Martha's Vineyard beaches,
more than a thousand searchers spread out over an area covering five states.
By Monday afternoon, NOAA had dispatched it's research vessels Rude and
Whiting to the Vineyard area. The Navy chipped in with The Grasp, which had
aided in the TWA 800 recovery operation three years ago.

According to Sunday's Washington Post, even the White House "situation room"
was alerted the morning before. Several Clinton administration cabinet
members were rousted from bed at 5:00 AM with news of Kennedy's
disappearance.

Plainly, some lost Americans are more equal than others.

Inside Cover contacted the Woods Hole, Mass. Coast Guard base, where some of
the search and recovery operations are being coordinated, in hopes of
getting an estimate of the costs thus far incurred.

A base source who would speak only condition of anonymity said, "It's one of
those deals where it's going to be impossible to come up with a dollar
figure because there were so many agencies involved. I don't think anybody
has actually sat down to figure that out. A cost estimate would have to be
done by each agency and at this point we just don't have those figures."

The bloody war was over. The hopes of Emperor Hirohito and others to
force the Americans to agree to a treaty that would allow Japan to keep
some of the lands they had taken by conquest had been shattered. They
had planned the final battle that they were certain would cause the
Americans over a million casualties when they invaded the Japanese home
islands. The two atomic bombs and Russia's invasion of Manchuria in a
attempt to annex some of Japan's conquered lands had cause the Emperor
to agree to an unconditional surrender. Now the conquerors wanted to
bring to justice those who were responsible for the many atrocities.
Over 4000 war criminals were charged. Of these 2400 received a prison
sentence of three years or more and 809 were ultimately hung.
General Yamashita was put on trial for war crimes on October 29, 1945.
General MacArthur organized this "trial" if anyone could call it a
trial. It was a kangaroo court and the verdict to hang Yamashita was the
worst American travesty of justice. Yamashita was not guilty of any of
the charges brought against him. This was widely known at the time of
the trail and history has since vindicated the General who was known as
The Tiger of Malaya. In spite of this he was hung on February 23, 1946.
The U.S. Supreme Court had reviewed the case and shamelessly approved
the kangaroo's court verdict.

Historians have excused MacArthur's actions by saying that Yamashita had
embarrassed him by putting up a vigorous defense of the Philippines and
didn't surrender until the Emperor had ordered him to do so. They also
justify his action as trying to rejuvenate the image of Emperor Hirohito
who he felt was needed in order to put through the reforms he had
envisioned for Japan. Both of these reasons were probably true, but
MacArthur learned after the trial that the Yamashita verdict was a
mistake.

The OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of today's CIA)
had been interviewing all of the Japanese Pows. One of the operatives
was Severino Santa Romana. A Filipino who spoke Japanese. He had
interrogated Major Kijomi Kashii who had been General Yamashita's
personal driver. In tracing Yamashita's movements, the Major recounted
having taken him to several locations where massive underground
excavations were taking place. While the General was touring the site he
learned from a Captain of the security force that the excavation was not
a fortification but a secret depository for treasures collected in other
conquered lands. This was the first time the Americans had any hint of
these secret locations.

Santa Romana had the Major carefully draw the exact locations of these
two sites. He also arranged to keep the Major from other POW's so he
could extract further information. He notified his superior who thought
the information was important enough to send a written report to OSS
Headquarters in Washington, DC. The report crossed the desk of William
Donavan, known as "Wild Bill" who was the Director of the OSS. Donavan
found the report intriguing and cabled Santa Romana's superior
requesting that he be sent out to the two sites and personally inspect
them. Santa Romana did as ordered only to find out that the maps were
not accurate. There were no signs of any excavations. Had the Major
lied? He rushed back to confront him, but when he got to the prison he
found that the Major had committed suicide with a butter knife he had
stolen from the prisoners mess hall. He quickly notified Washington.

Donavan was not prepared to dismiss the report as false. There was
another witness, General Yamashita who was awaiting the review of the
Supreme Court. He had discussed this with the President, Harry Truman,
and had been ordered to send the information to General MacArthur with a
suggestion that the General look into it. MacArthur didn't believe the
report and ordered one of his aides to pick up Santa Romana and go
interview Yamashita personally. When confronted with the question the
wily General just smiled. When MacArthur learned this he changed his
mind. Perhaps there was something to this after all. But, how to get
Yamashita to talk? He was about to be hung and MacArthur wasn't one of
his favorite people.

MacArthur knew that the only way Yamashita would talk would be if he was
ordered to do so by his Emperor. MacArthur's headquarters was now in
Tokyo so the General decided to put the question to Hirohito. At first
Hirohito pretended he didn't know what MacArthur was talking about. Then
he thought about it and decided that Yamashita knew very little about
the activities of the Golden Lily team, and if he did know about two
sites, why not tell MacArthur. With the loss of two sites he might gain
some concessions. He might be able to save Yamashita and at the same
time negotiate some of

[CTRL] Fwd: JFK jr. - A reply to a Friend

[Kris Millegan]

Dear RX:

Thank you for your reply. They are saying the same things about Bob Smith
who resigned from the Republican party last week, "not a very bright man".
Yet some of those not very bright people put some very bright people to
shame.   There is knowledge, and then there is wisdom, that ability to put
knowledge to proper use.
Some have more of one than the other.Presently we have a "bright" man in
the White House who apparently has knowledge but very little wisdom.

 As for me, I am not going to judge JFK jr until I have more evidence.   To
be truthful,  I was actually starting to like him about a year ago.   I
thought that he was different from the other Kennedy's in several ways.
Indeed, there seemed to be a small divide between the families of JFK versus,
Ted Kennedy and Robert.

Regarding JFK jr., you are likely correct in that a series of errors in
judgment were obviously made.   However, did they have to be fatal?

The final dive at over 5000 feet per minute is what I find fascinating.   I
have flown in private aircraft years ago many many times.   One ground
witness on Martha's Vineyard saw a bright flash in the direction of the
flight. (sometimes what is seen with explosions)  The final approach to
Martha's Vineyard concerns me, I am having trouble believing the pilot
behavior there, even with limited visibility.   I believe that 60% of that
flight was caused by pilot error, but the 40% for 'other causes' concerns me
at this time.

We need to be aware that it is a standard practice  for  all aircraft
accidents, the pilots are blamed first, before further analysis.

In spite of the JFK jr witnesses at the  Fairfield, New Jersey airport, who
expressed concern for the risks of flying the single engine Piper Seneca from
that airport,, , he flew, from indications of Air Traffic Control Radars
along the way, ... he apparently flew fine on each leg, all the way to final
approach.  You must give him credit, that this alone is quite an
accomplishment, considering the night and limited visibility.  Had he been
the bad pilot that the press denigrated him for he wouldn't have made it that
far.

The heat and humidity that night, shouldn't matter.   These Piper Seneca's
are flown in desert and tropical condtions, both in Africa, Central America
and our Mojave Desert.  Furthermore the cooling effect of airflow over the
engine is far less at much higher altitudes, then he flew.  Certainly Density
altitude effects engine performance, and lift, but these can be compensated,
especially at the low altitudes he flew.   Out here, we fly through mountain
passes at the 10,000 feet level, where density altitude and summer heat
indeed ARE a real factor.

I want to see if the crash was caused by pilot error, or mechanical failure.
If mechancial failure, then I want to know if it could be sabotage.   If
sabotage, who benefits?

JFK Jr's absence benefitted Hillary Clinton as she is running for NY Senate.
 Several souces say JFK jr, was considering this too.  Perhaps preparing to
sell George Magazine to help.  JFK jr, would have won hands down against
Hillary or Rudy.

  We the Amercan People have not allowed the Clinton's to be investigated and
prosecuted for  their other many mysterious deaths in their past.  We feel
that we can ignore it, let it go away by itself.  Yet there is a big cost to
the nation ultimately.  If the Clinton's indeed caused those deaths, we
cannot expect different behavior from them in the future, as they will kill
again, until caught. Hillary is highly suspect in her associations to the
other mysterious deaths.  She is a controlling, shrewd, and insecure woman.
She may win office against all odds,  because she is willing to do anything,
including  ordering killings behind the scenes.   As long as she remains
unprosecuted for the prior mysterious deaths, there will always be suspicions
connecting her to the deaths.

JFK jr. did something very unusual last year in George Magazine.   He was
able to interview Richard Mellon Scaife, the recluse billionaire that is the
real person that Hillary meant when she accused her attackers of being part
of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy".   Scaife funded the right-wing magazine
The American Spectator, as well as Larry Klayman's Judicial Watch, and Reed
Irvine's Accuracy in the Media.  All of these groups have done
considerable damage to the Clinton's reputation and credibility by exposing
crimes.
Scaife said in the JFK jr interview that he was afraid of the Clinton's, as
they have had so many killed.Scaife never interviews with anyone.  The
Washington Post tried and failed. Hillary hates Scaife.

Just a few weeks after the Scaife interview was published in George Magazine,
a lone man with a gun saught for Scaife in the upper floors of his downtown
business tower.The man, unable to find Scaife, went into a restroom and
committed suicide.

Scaife was right.  But what of Hillary?  What of a Hillary now trying to
cater to wealthy East

Anti-BO2K tools

After some confusion and delay, the Cult of the Dead Cow released
Back Orifice 2000 earlier this week, as foreshadowed in the last
issue of Net-Alert.

While BO2K doesn't constitute a new threat (it is really only an
extension of the earlier Back Orifice trojan horse), it is
certainly a good idea to take steps to protect your PC against
it.

Below are some URLs offering information about the program, what
it can do, how to detect it and how to defend against it.

There is also a link to a program called "Cassandra"
(appropriately named after the Trojan goddess who tried to warn
the Trojan people of the original "trojan horse"), which can
detect BO2K, among other trojan horse programs.

Most popular anti-virus program vendors have now released updates
that will protect user's computers against BO2K. Be sure to
update your anti-virus program.

Hackers hacked?

In a related story, the Cult of the Dead Cow endured considerable
embarrassment when it was forced to admit that the CDs it
distributed at the DefCon conference containing its BO2K program
were infected with a particularly nasty computer virus called CIH
(also known as Chernobyl).

Keeping tabs on email

One of the questions most commonly asked by new users is: "How do
I know that my email was delivered or read?".

The short answer is: there is no way to tell, except perhaps to
call the recipient and ask.

A new service, free to all Internet users, may help solve this
dilemma.

CertifiedMail.com allows users to track email messages sent via
the service, and provides details of exactly when messages are
opened or retrieved. It caters for both personal and business
users, and offers a range of extra “add-on” services for business
users (though there is a charge for these added services).

The way it works is quite straightforward. After you have
registered with the service, you can log into the member area,
which has an online form for composing messages. When you send
the message, the recipient receives a notice advising that they
have an important message. To retrieve it, they must click on the
link contained in the notice.

This takes them to the site where they can read your message and
retrieve any attachments. When they do, the time and date is
recorded on a log, so you can see that the message has been read.

War with computer criminals gets nasty

Network Associates has announced the availability of a new tool
in the fight against computer criminals: a "decoy" server program
called CyberCop Sting.

As its name suggests, once the decoy server is deployed on a
company's network, it tracks all attempts to break-in or
otherwise interfere with the server, records their
details and creates detailed reports for further investigation.

According to the company's press release:

 CyberCop Sting operates by creating a series of fictitious
 corporate systems on a specially outfitted server that
 combines moderate security protection with sophisticated
 monitoring technology. The Sting product creates a decoy,
 virtual TCP/IP network on a single server or workstation and
 can simulate a network containing several different types of
 network devices, including Windows NT servers, Unix servers
 and routers. Each virtual network device has a real IP
 address and can receive and send genuine-looking packets
 from and to the larger network environment. Each virtual
 network node can also run simulated daemons, such as finger
 and FTP, to further emulate the activity of a genuine system
 and avoid suspicion by would-be intruders.

[CTRL] Kennedy Tragedies Linked To 'Risk-Taking Gene' - Israeli expert

[Ric Carter]

Kennedy Tragedies Linked To 'Risk-Taking Gene' - Israeli expert
http://asia.yahoo.com


JERUSALEM (AFP) - The Kennedy clan is not cursed by fate but by a
"risk-taking gene" discovered in Israel that makes people reckless with
speed, drugs and love, an Israeli researcher said Monday.

Richard Ebstein, a molecular geneticist who discovered the gene, said the
inherited trait likely played a role in pushing Kennedy family members into
"impulsive, adventurous and chance-taking" activities.

"There are very clear indications in the Kennedy family history that its
members carry this gene," Ebstein told AFP when asked to comment on the
presumed death of John Kennedy Jr in a plane crash on Friday.

"If I were a Kennedy, I'd consult the best psychologists in the US to
discuss what normal personalities are and how to control their risk-taking
urge," he said.

"When you are aware of the dangers, you're more likely to be careful," he
said.

Ebstein, currently working at Jerusalem's Herzog Hospital, said his research
showed that bearers of a gene complex known as the dopamine D-4 receptor and
seotonin transporter promoter seek out strong sensations and are more likely
than other persons to become addicted to drugs.

"We have carried out numerous statistical surveys and found that more than
50 percent of impulsive behavior can be explained by genetic factors," he
said.

"These can lead people to be fighter jet pilots, give in to drug or alcohol
abuse or take risks with their lives," he said.

Newborns as young as two weeks who have the gene are more alert and curious
about the outside world, he said.

Ebstein noted that John Kennedy Jr. was only the latest in a long line of
family members to die prematurely in a tragic saga dating back at least to
World War II.

These included the plane crash of his uncle Joe, a wartime fighter pilot,
the death in a 1948 plane crash of an aunt, Kathleen, and the assassinations
of his father, President John Kennedy, and uncle Robert, both highly
ambitious and flamboyant politicians.

One of Robert Kennedy's sons, David, died of a drug overdose in 1984, and
another son, Michael, was killed in a 1997 skiiing accident.

John's uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy, was also involved in a suspicious car
crash in which a female companion died, and cousins have been involved in
car crashes and brushes with the law over drug abuse.

There was growing speculation that John Kennedy Jr's plane crash on Friday
was the result of imprudence.

He had little experience as a pilot, bought the more powerful plane he was
flying only a few months ago and chose not to file a flight plan for the
trip from New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard even though it involved a leg over
the sea.

Kennedy also chose to fly despite poor visibility which discouraged more
experienced pilots from making the same flight and was still recovering from
a leg injury that could have limited his ability to control the plane.

Re: [CTRL] THE LEGITIMACY OF SLAVERY in Nigeria - by Joseph Sobran

[nessie]

 -Caveat Lector-

>Ah, virtual slavery.  We are all ANYTHING at SOME level or another.

No. We are not. This is sophmore logic.

We are not virtual slaves; we are slaves. Period.

>If you can tell someone else what to do, you're an actual slavemaster.

Not necessarily. You could be merely a higher ranking slave.

>If other people can make you do things you don't wish, you're an actual
slave.

Correct. My point exactly.

>But this isn't the same as real live actual chattel slavery, where you're
bought/sold directly; where immediate work and obedience are required of
you without payment, under pain of a direct threat of force.

Chattel slaves do get paid. They get paid in food and shelter. The wage
slave get's paid in money which (s)he must then exchange for food and
shelter. The chattel slave has one master. The wage slave has many
masters. Both are slaves.

It's better for a slave to be a wage slave than a chattel slave for the
same reason that it is better for a chattel slave to be a house slave than
to be a field slave. But a slave is a slave. What makes a slave a slave is
not how hard (s)he works, or how well (s)he gets paid or how many options
(s)he has. What makes a slave a slave is force. Period. Whether it is
applied or merely threatened is immaterial. Force is force.

>The "wage slave" has many more options that the chattel slave, is not
subject to the same direct physical coercion.

A slave has exactly two options, obey or be punished. Neither are defined
by the slave. Both are defined by the master. If you are a wage slave you
have no say over how you do your job except for as  much say your boss
says you have, which is exactly equal you having no say at all. You do
have options, though. You have exactly two options, no more and no less:
do exactly what he says or get fired. If you do anything other than
exactly what he says, he will fire you. You will be forced to leave the
premises. If you resist, armed goons in uniform will physically eject you.
If you resist they will beat you. If you resist with sufficient vigor,
they will kill you.

Now you are out in the street. You have exactly two options. Find a new
boss or go hungry. Whether or not you find a new boss is not up to you,
it's up to the bosses. If you are lucky enough to find a new job then you
are right back to where you started. You have two options, obey or be
punished.

If you do not, or cannot, find a new boss then you can't pay your rent (or
your mortgage, which amounts to the same thing). Your landlord (or the
bank, which amounts to the same thing) will evict you. You will be out in
the street as well as hungry. If you refuse to go, armed goons in uniform
will physically eject you. If you resist, they will beat you. If you
resist with sufficient vigor, they will kill you.

These are the options of a slave, obey or die. A wage slave, should (s)he
exercise the option of refusing to obey, does (unlike the chattel slave)
have the official option to choose between starving and being beaten.

Big whoop.

If you are a chattel slave and you screw up or mouth off, either the
master or a higher ranking slave will beat you. He might do it on the
spot. He might put it off until Sunday so the whole crew can watch. Either
way you get a beating. No option there. Of course you can run away. Then
you have the option to starve. But if you run away you are no longer a
slave; now you are an outlaw. Outside of that, you take the beating. Now
or later, a beating is a beating.

If you are a wage slave and you screw up or mouth off, you never get a
beating on the spot. In order to access your option to starve you don't
even have to run away. You can either go quietly or be thrown away. The
beating or starvation comes later.

What makes a slave a slave is force, threatened or applied. Force is
always threatened. Whether it is applied now or later is irrelevant. Force
is force.

The difference between a chattel slave and a wage slave is one of rank,
not one of status. A slave is a slave. A high ranking slave i a slave and
a low ranking slave is a slave. A slave is a slave. Capiesc'?

I'm not speaking in analogies. I'm being 100% literal. Don't mistake the
literal for the analogy.

>Some other virtual situations

Not:

>If you pant, you're a virtual dog.

No, you are not. Panting is not what makes a dog a dog. Having dogs for
parents is what make a dog a dog.

>If you loan someone a quarter, you're a virtual banker.

No, you are not. If you loan someone a quarter and charge interest, you
are a banker. Usury is what  makes a banker a banker. Anyone can loan.
Only usurers charge interest.

>drive too fast, you're a virtual escapee,

Speed is not what makes an escapee an escapee. Pursuit is what makes an
escapee an escapee.
