[CTRL] "I have no comment to make on these matters," ...[more corruption]
-Caveat Lector- It is our right, and it is our duty, to remain free. --- Alan Keyes Published in Washington, D.C. 5am -- August 5, 1999 www.washtimes.com Clinton appointees meet privately By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES The eight federal judges appointed by President Clinton to the U.S. District Court in Washington meet privately every month in closed-door sessions that other jurists believe are improper and call into question the court's impartiality. "I cannot imagine any legitimate reason for them to meet together once a month, even socially," said one veteran courthouse official familiar with the sessions. "It's not only in bad taste, it certainly has the appearance of impropriety. It's hard to imagine any rationale for these meetings." Another court official said they "reek with impropriety." Concern among courthouse officials about the meetings, which are described in e-mail addressed monthly to each of the eight judges, comes at a time that Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson is being publicly criticized for selectively assigning criminal cases against friends and associates of Mr. Clinton's to judges the president has appointed. None of the eight Clinton-appointed judges, all of whom were named to the bench between 1994 to 1998, would comment on the meetings or their content. "I have no comment to make on these matters," said U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy Jr., the only one of the eight who personally answered a telephone call. A spokeswoman for Judge Richard W. Roberts returned a call but said only that the judge "declined comment." Four judges appointed by other presidents, both Republican and Democrat, said the meetings have been taking place for some time, although specific topics are not known. They question the propriety of the sessions and lament what they described as the "loss of collegiality" when the judges fail to come together as a group -- which the others do often. "The Clinton appointees have confirmed that they meet together, and we know they do, but where they go and what they discuss I just don't know," said one judge. "But a very important part of what we do here is our collegiality. We all come with political viewpoints but we try to leave politics behind. Unfortunately, the Clinton appointees have gone off on their own." The nature of the isolation, another judge said, was punctuated by an e-mail message sent to all of the judges inviting them to a birthday party for U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina, a 1994 Clinton appointee. The message asked the judges to guess Judge Urbina's age for a prize but excluded members of the "Magnificent Seven" -- a name the first seven Clinton appointees had used to describe their group before Judge Roberts' 1998 appointment. There are 23 judges at the federal courthouse, including the eight named by Mr. Clinton. Five were appointed by President Carter and five by President Reagan. Four were named by President Johnson and one was picked by President Nixon. None of the other judges hold separate meetings, courthouse sources said. Questions of impropriety at the courthouse have drawn the attention of the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican, is considering whether to begin an investigation or call for hearings to resolve the issue. During a confirmation hearing yesterday for two Justice Department officials, Mr. Hatch described as "deeply troubling" reports that Judge Johnson had bypassed the court's random case assignment procedures "by taking the unusual step of hand-picking" judges appointed by Mr. Clinton to hear cases involving Webster L. Hubbell and Charles Yah Lin Trie. "Even if deviations from the district court's random case assignment procedures are technically permitted by local rule, I share the concern that has been expressed by other judges on the court that these assignments will damage the public's confidence that these cases were impartially adjudicated," he said. Committee member Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, echoed Mr. Hatch's concerns, adding that as a former prosecutor he was "stunned" by the Johnson assignments. He said it "might be necessary" for the committee to investigate the matter to restore the public's confidence. On Tuesday, Judge Johnson defended her decision not to follow the court's traditional random-assignment process when she assigned the Hubbell and Trie cases to U.S. District Judges Paul L. Friedman and James Robertson --both Clinton appointees. She said the cases were assigned to "highly capable federal judges" and that "politics was not and is never a factor in our case assignments." She said the chief judge has the right to assign "protracted an

-Caveat Lector- Chaos in Kosovo Kosovar gangs pick up where the Serbs left off. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Laura Rozen August 3, 1999 | PRISTINA, Yugoslavia -- With 37,000 NATO-led peacekeeping troops patrolling it, Kosovo may not be the first place one thinks of as a smugglers' paradise. But it is. Two different worlds converge here in Kosovo, utterly unrelated to each other. Heroin and cocaine come cheap at parties. Mercedes and BMWs, sparkling new and without license plates, cruise through the capital at dusk, packed with young men talking on cell phones. When they stop in front of key office buildings, a couple of men get out, crossing their arms as if armed and not to be messed with, while another goes inside to conduct business. The rumbling oversized tank of a British KFOR patrol turns the corner at an intersection less than 10 feet away. Kosovo sits between two European countries overrun with organized crime. Albania, the poorest country in Europe, sits along a well-trod drug and arms trading route between Asia and Europe. The northern part of Albania, which borders Kosovo, is almost entirely in the hands of armed gangs. To Kosovo's northeast, Serbia, after a decade of international economic sanctions and isolation, is also rife with corruption, arms smuggling and state-sanctioned theft of public funds to private bank accounts (some 300 cronies of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic have recently had their Swiss bank accounts frozen and been banned from travel to the European Union and the United States). Organized crime loves a vacuum. Interpol now estimates that 40 percent of the heroin supply in Western Europe travels through Kosovo. In addition, Kosovo has a past which makes it an ideal breeding ground for organized crime. For the past 10 years, since Milosevic revoked the province's autonomy, most Kosovo Albanians have been pushed out of the state sector, and forced to look for work in private ventures and abroad. Many Kosovo Albanian men went abroad to work in Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the United States -- some in construction and other above-board professions, others in the underworld of drug trafficking -- to earn money to send back to their extended families. An extensive network of travel agencies helped traffic money from Europe and the United States back to relatives in Kosovo. But certain conditions of the post-war period make Kosovo even more ideal as a base for organized crime. There is an almost complete lack of civil authority here, despite the presence of KFOR soldiers. Have your apartment broken into, car stolen, neighbor murdered, and there is no one to call. KFOR soldiers dutifully come to make a report if someone's been killed. But you can call the police emergency number in Kosovo all you want, and no one comes, because for the moment there are no functioning police. To date, some 600 U.N. international police have arrived, but the international police commissioner does not plan to deploy any of them until he has most of his 3,000 men. In the meantime, there are virtually open borders. The fact that Serbian police destroyed many Kosovo Albanians' identity papers and license plates as they were deporting them means that KFOR allows almost

[CTRL] Beijing Warns of 'Calamity'4 Taiwan[Dongfeng 31 range 5,000miles]
-Caveat Lector- Beijing Warns of a 'Calamity' for Taiwan U.S. Mission Failed To Ease Tensions, Diplomats Say By John Pomfret Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, August 4, 1999; Page A17 BEIJING, Aug. 3The Chinese government launched another broadside against Taiwan today, warning that the self-governing island faces "calamity" because of President Lee Teng-hui's pronouncements on Taiwan's political status. Meanwhile, a day after China announced that it had tested a new long-range missile, Taiwan's stock market plunged sharply but closed with only a fractional loss after the government intervened by buying $155 million worth of equities. The continued tension between the governments in Beijing and Taipei is a pointed illustration, Western diplomats said, that a U.S. diplomatic mission to both cities two weeks ago failed to mollify the rivals. U.S. officials tried to persuade Lee to modify recent remarks that have angered Beijing, while they cautioned Beijing not to use force to try to impose its will on Taiwan. Lee, however, has declined to back down, reiterating his inflammatory declaration of July 9 in which he said his government wants to deal with the mainland on a "special state-to-state" basis, repudiating Beijing's view of Taiwan as a wayward Chinese province. Lee's assertion marked a major break with the "one China" framework that has kept peace between the two sides for decades -- a formula that holds that both are parts of the same country and that peaceful reunification is inevitable. China has rejected an explanation of Lee's remarks offered by the Taiwanese leader's top China negotiator, Koo Chen-fu, jeopardizing talks planned between Taiwan and Beijing later this year. China has seized a Taiwanese cargo ship, and warplanes from both sides have been flying past the halfway point in the Strait of Taiwan. Meanwhile, the United States has added to the tension with its announcement Monday that it will sell $550 million worth of weapons to Taiwan, including E-2T early-warning aircraft and parts and equipment for warplanes. In an editorial that will appear Wednesday, the official newspaper of China's ruling Communist Party warned the people of Taiwan not to listen to their president, whom the article refers to as a "splittist." It said Lee's "state-to-state" initiative would "damage the island province's economy and trade and eventually bring calamities to the people." On Monday, Beijing announced it had tested a long-range ballistic missile that military analysts believe is the Dongfeng 31, a mobile-launched, three-stage vehicle with a range of 5,000 miles. While military analysts said the missile was developed to threaten Japanese and U.S. military positions throughout Asia, the news triggered the stock sell-off in Taiwan. © Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-08/04/107l-080499-idx.html Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] U.S. Army headquarters leaves Panama
-Caveat Lector- U.S. Army headquarters leaves Panama Several hundred soldiers will remain until canal is handed over at year's end 07/31/99 Associated Press FORT CLAYTON, Panama - The United States' long goodbye to Panama neared an end Friday with the formal departure of the regional U.S. Army headquarters, leaving only a few hundred soldiers until the Panama Canal is handed over at year's end. "Your 88-year mission here is done," Marine Gen. Charles E. Wilhelm, the head of the U.S. Southern Command, said at a closing ceremony at Fort Clayton's Soldier's Field parade ground. "You can report with pride - Mission accomplished." The Southern Command, the administrative head for all branches of the U.S. military in the region, moved out of Panama in 1997. But Friday's ceremony marked the exit of the regional headquarters of the U.S. Army, which had the largest presence in Panama. That headquarters moves to Fort Buchanan in Puerto Rico. As Panamanian President Ernesto Perez Balladares looked on and a bagpiper played "Auld Lang Syne," a color guard dressed in tan, 1910-style U.S. uniforms and bearing Springfield rifles turned over flags to another color guard dressed in modern camouflage uniforms and carrying M-16 rifles. The modern guard then marched out the gates of Fort Clayton, past U.S. and Panamanian flags. Maj. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger Jr., the commander of U.S. Army South, said the troops were saying goodbye to Panama - "and in doing so, holding our heads high with the knowledge that Panama and the region have been better for our presence." Thick gray clouds gathered and rain began to fall soon after the ceremony ended, a reminder of the tropical downpours that helped the Army train millions of soldiers in tropical jungle warfare over the years. On Dec. 31, the United States turns the canal over to Panama, ending a relationship between the two countries that began with Panama's birth as a nation in 1903. The first U.S. soldiers permanently assigned came in 1911 to guard construction efforts of the Panama Canal, which was opened in 1914. Today fewer than 1,000 U.S. military personnel remain in Panama, largely based at Corozal, just south of Clayton, near the Pacific entrance of the canal. They are steadily departing week by week. Until the mid-1990s, more than 10,000 U.S. troops were based in Panama. At the height of the U.S. presence, during World War II, about 65,000 U.S. troops were based in Panama. Since the 1977 treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos, the United States has gradually been turning over its 453,000 acres of holdings in the Canal Zone and military bases. U.S. negotiations to maintain an anti-drug base in Panama fell through, but Mr. Perez Balladares told reporters after the ceremony that he expected the United States and Panama to continue cooperating against drug traffickers. "We have many objectives in common to complete," he said. "Especially those that unite us, like the fight against drug trafficking and crime." http://www.dallasnews.com/world/0731int10panama.htm Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

-Caveat Lector- Wednesday August 4, 2:47 AM Clinton Corruption Too Much for Mafia Don Lost in the rush of news emanating from Hillary Clinton's recent burst of candor in Talk magazine was this amazing tidbit in Tuesday's New York Daily News: Don Addicted to Monicagate John Gotti is a news junkie, and he found a feast in the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal. He says Clinton got away with conduct a Mafia gangster would never be allowed to get away with. He told his brother Peter that, based on what he heard Clinton say in tape-recorded conversations with onetime lover Gennifer Flowers, it sounded like Clinton was telling her to lie. "He's telling her, 'Why would you want to bring this out? If anybody investigates, you lie.' " The tapes, made in 1991 when Clinton was making his first White House bid and Flowers was thinking about telling her story, surfaced in 1992 and were picked up by the media again when the Clinton-Lewinsky matter began to brew early last year. Gotti heard them on Jan. 29. The next day, he said they showed that Clinton implied to Flowers she wouldn't get in trouble if she lied because he could "get to" any judge. Gotti's verdict on the president? "If he had an Italian last name, they would've electrocuted him." http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] Archbishop of Canterbury: Doubts Resurrection of Jesus
-Caveat Lector- Tuesday August 3, 10:06 PM Archbishop Raises Doubts over Resurrection Third Wayism is infecting everyone these days. Tony Blair has led the Third Way march in Great Britain, as the Clintons have here. The Third Way is socialism using non-economic means. It calls for a restructuring of the social, educational, religious, medical and other major institutions that create the framework for a modern capitalist society. Blair set the tone when his new education ministers started reforming Britain's national school curriculum. Among the topics immediately dumped from teacher lesson plans was Winston Churchill. No matter that Churchill had helped win World War II and had been a major figure for more than five decades of the century. No matter that some historians view him as the most important figure of the century. Blair's government had him stricken from all British history lessons. Such Third Wayism has a way of spreading like a bad disease. Earlier this week, Britain's Daily Mail reported that the archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, has raised significant doubts as to whether Jesus of Nazareth ever rose from the dead. The archbishop's pronouncement might be akin to the pope stepping out on his balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square to announce he just realized he may not be a Catholic after all. Using the opportunity of the Millennium -- which marks 2,000 years from the birth of the Jewish carpenter -- Carey wrote to the faithful, "I can tell you frankly that while we can be absolutely sure that Jesus lived and that He was certainly crucified on the Cross, we cannot with the same certainty say that we know He was raised by God from the dead." Carey argued that the resurrection "goes against human experience, and our first instinct is incredulity." He also suggested the idea of the Resurrection may have helped contribute to the Holocaust. The archbishop is the head of the Church of England. He is the second-most prominent figure in Christendom after the pope. He has now questioned the validity of the central tenet of all Christian belief. The Church of England, as a state-sponsored religion, has close ties to the state. The archbishop apparently didn't think he'd ruffle any feathers with Tony "Third Way" Blair. Carey blames the Jesus movement for all evil throughout history. He wrote that Christianity "has contributed to the oppression of women, to policies of imperialism, slavery and the repression of free speech." http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] BUCHANAN BLASTS WIRE REPORT; NO PLANS TO LEAVE GOP
-Caveat Lector- Patrick Buchanan late on Wednesday strongly denied an ASSOCAITED PRESS story that quoted "officials" saying Buchanan is preparing to leave the Republican Party to seek the presidential nomination of the Reform Party. In an interview with Dan Balz of the WASHIGNTON POST, set for publication on Thursday, Buchanan throws cold water on a fire started by AP reporter Ron Fournier, accusing unnamed rivals of attempting to disrupt his campaign on the eve of the Iowa GOP straw poll. "The timing is curious," Buchanan said of the AP report about his intentions. "I think it is being pumped up by people who I think do not wish us well in the straw poll." Buchanan tells Balz: "If the Republican Party veers off the road, that's their business. My first commitment is to my ideals and convictions. As Jack Kennedy once said, 'Sometimes party loyalty asks too much,' but right now I'm going down the road as a Republican." AP's Ron Fournier quoted "officials close to Buchanan and in the Reform Party." http://www.drudgereport.com/matt1.htm Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: a benefit/subsidy protection racket!

[CTRL] Fwd: Kosovo War's Carnegie Roots
SOURCE: The New American, August 2, 1999, page 7 http://www.thenewamerican.com/ Kosovo War's Carnegie Roots Since before World War I, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has excelled at the use of war to transform American society and pursue collectivist ends. John B. Roberts II, a writer, television producer, and publicist, reveals in a fascinating report from the June 'American Spectator' that NATO's terrorist war against Yugoslavia has its roots in a 1992 Carnegie Endowment initiative. Roberts is well qualified to draw this conclusion, given that he had been hired to help publicize the Endowment's effort -- and has since come to regret his involvement. Milton Abramowitz, president of the Carnegie Endowment between 1991 and 1997, "established a blue-ribbon commission of policy experts to create a new U.S. foreign policy framework," recalls Roberts. The release of that commission's first report was timed to coincide with the 1992 Democratic National Convention, and the commissions consisted essentially of "Clinton's Cabinet-in-waiting": Madeleine Albright, Henry Cisneros, John Duetch, Richard Holbrooke, Alice Rivlin, David Gergen, Admiral William Crowe, and "numerous lesser luminaries who would nonetheless get sub-Cabinet appointments" For "bipartisan balance," Richard Perle and James Schlesinger were brought on board. In brief, it was a Carnegie/CFR exercise in creating a "consensus" on behalf of a radical new foreign policy. Roberts writes that the report, 'Changing Our Ways: America's role in the New World', urged "a new principle of international relations: the destruction or displacement of groups of people who in states can justify international intervention." Through this document, "the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was girding for war. All it needed was a president eager to do battle" -- and a foreign "crisis" that would inaugurate the new doctrine. By lucky hap, Albanian President Sali Berisha was visiting with Bujar Bukoshi in Kosovo just as the report was being framed back in Washington. Berisha told Bukoshi, "We must demand the right for self-determination of the Albanians in ex-Yugoslavia." "After six years as the Carnegie Endowment's president, Abramowitz in 1997 moved on to the Council on Foreign Relations," recalls Roberts. "In January of this year he published a column in the 'Wall Street Journal' urging a drastic shift in U.S. policy toward Kosovo. It was time, Abramowitz counseled, to support full independence for Kosovo." Shortly thereafter came the Racak "massacre," the Rambouillet ultimatum, and NATO's war of aggression in Yugoslavia.

Re: [CTRL] excerpts from Revictimization Of Survivors
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Below please find excerpts from the article below. Sincerely, Neil Brick This may be triggering for survivors of abuse. All accusations are alleged. excerpts from: http://www.carleton.ca/~whovdest/swap.html BEARING WITNESS TO THE PATRIARCHAL REVICTIMIZATION OF SURVIVORS by Connie M. Kristiansen, Carleton University Newsletter of the Section on Women and Psychology, Vol 20, No 2, page 7-16. my note: these statements were made in rebuttal to a speaker at McGill University "He was drowned out, reduced to a whisper, by the jeering, whistling, coughing, shouts and rattling noisemakers of survivors. Survivors who knew their power because they had borne witness to an unbelievable truth before. Survivors whose hearts beat softly, oh but ever so firmly, saying, "when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak, remembering, we were never meant to survive" (Audre Lorde, 'Litany for Survival')." "Not since Dr. Ralph Underwager, formerly on the Advisory Board of the FMS Foundation, was forced to resign after he proclaimed that "Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose With boldness they can say, 'I believe this is in fact part of God's will'Paedophiles need to become more positive and make the claim that paedophilla is an acceptable expression of God's will for love and unity among human beings" (Geraci, 1993). And not since Jennifer Freyd, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Oregon and the daughter of the FMS Foundation Executive Director Dr. Pamela Freyd, exposed her father's sexual abuse and the way in which her parents are using the FMS Foundation as a weapon in their personal war against her (Freyd, 1993). "As one clinician said at a national meeting recently about the FMSF: "there is persuasive evidence that this organization grew out of one family's feud that's overgrown it's boundaries and come into the popular culture" (cited in Freyd, 1993)." "...how can you claim that recovered memories of abuse are false? One, Herman and Schatzow's (1987) finding that 74% of 53 women in group therapy, 64% of whom had moderate to severe amnesia, were able to obtain corroborating evidence, including pornographic photographs, for their recovered memories. Two, William's (1992) finding that 38% of a sample of 100 adult women failed to recall their childhood sexual abuse, abuse documented some 20 years earlier in hospital medical records. Three, a literature review by Brewin, Andrew and Gotlib (1993) showing that recollections of childhood are more accurate than previously thought and that it is parent's recollections, not those of their adult children, that are distorted. Four, Summit's (1983) finding that children minimize the frequency and severity of their abuse, compared to the subsequent confessions of their parents. Five, findings that in the case of battering, it is the male abusers who underestimate the frequency and severity of the abuse they inflicted (cited in Brewin et al.). Six, Famina, Yeager and Lewis' (1990) finding that among a sample of 69 abused youths, all distortions of abuse were in the direction of minimization, out of embarrassment, shame and the desire to forget about it. And seven, based on her study of 150 children who had experienced a variety of traumas, Lenore Terr (1991), a professor of child psychiatry at the University of California, noted that "even those who were infants or toddlers at the time of their ordeal and thus were unable to lay down, store, or retrieve full verbal memories of their traumas tend to play out, to draw, or to re-see highly visualized elements from their old experiences." As an example, Terr cites the case of a five year old who had been sexually abused in a daycare home between 15 and 18 months of age. The discovery was made when US Customs officers found pornographic photos of the girl. In retrospect, the parents realized that since the girl first began to draw, she had sketched hundreds of nude adults. And while playing in Terr's office, the child told Terr that a baby she drew was 'all naked' and a 'bad girl.' Moreover, while children may have no verbal recall of their abuse, they do re-enact their abuse in their play, repeating aspects of the original trauma. And such repetitive behaviors have been observed in children who were exposed to trauma prior to age 12 months when they had no verbal memory. For example, the five year old girl I just described experienced 'funny feelings' in her 'tummy' every time a finger was pointed at her. The confiscated pornographic photos showed an erect penis jabbing the exact spot on the 15 to 18 month infant's belly. Thus, while adults may not recall personally meaningless events before the age of three or four, such as where they were at the time of Kennedy's assassination, they can recall trauma experienced during infancy, although such recollections may not appear i

-Caveat Lector- to those that talk of being vegitarian, why would people keep cows and chickens, if there were no profit? to those that say wearing a fur coat is crulty, how many chinchillas do you see around now? To anyone that has breed animals for food and or fur and hide and kept them in thier best condition, take a look at the average family dog and wonder. Millions are spent on the average race horse, and animal athelet. The same that millions are spent on the average football player or actor. If those horses did not get to compete would there be as many people that have horses? What would happen to all the ranches? Plowed fields, or housing subdivisions? If you have made it this far, let's get serious! If we were able to replicate or clone on a regular basis, where would be keep the basic DNA? A computer person would ask were is the source code kept, and can you bring the program up from scatch? Why do I ask this? If you were getting rid of many plants and animals, from the bacteria that die from antibiotics down the drain, to the animals that are not economically feasable to keep anymore. Where are you keeping thier DNA? If we go to the stars and meet other lifeforms strange to us, what would we trade, metals and pretty rocks? Gold and diamonds might be common items on other planets and in asteroids. What we do have is a diversity of plant and animal life that if someones cloning, replicator, or documantion fails - they would be able to get it from the Earth. They might also like to read a good book. Our history might intrest them. They did it and might wonder about some of the hurdles that we were able to overcome, as well as how honest we had been with ourselves. What if there were and intergalactic stock market? What would be traded? DNA source codes, Think of all the unique DNA (S.American rain forests, the old forests of England, ect) that has been lost. Where are they backing up that DNA source code? Ask any computer programer and they will say that there are some in this world that are going for short term profits at a long term loss!

Headlineing homosexualism but is it "same sex orientation" for mutual pleasure or is it control fiends that are using them to advance an idea of "sadism, masochism"? To me, this current preoccupation about sex, and having a 'potty mouth' is straight out of 1984's idea of "Quack, Quack" with the sex part from "Brave New World" with any future males clonned. Take the ideas from the original "Robin Hood" on how most of us will be serfs and you have a idea of what I see as part of this 'mind set'. Right now companies like Monsanto as well as the US government are backing Genetically Modified foods and plants. What would happen to many of the consumables that take a long time to prepare. That usually just happens to be prepared using some kind of bacterial culturing? What would happen if for some reason they were to suddenly reverse this idea? Companies out of business? Would it happen, would they do it before they get irradiation approved? Irradiation seems to produce fluoride which has been proven to be poisonous and irradiation also kills the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Will allergy sufferer get a class action law suit against pesticides and herbicides? Food Poisoning: E-Coli at source or did the E-Coli develop in someone's gut after getting a cut of meat with antibiotics, herbicides or pesticides in it? More females than males. Pesticides again? Headlineing homosexualism but is it "same sex orientation" for mutual pleasure or is it control fiends that are using them to advance an idea of "sadism, masochism"? Are flower perfumes releasing 'herbicides and pesticides Into the air. Allergies from the flower, or to the additives? Natural (from flowers) perfumes would also concentrate the additives. Plants can live without us, we can not live without them. So a space faring race seeing that we are committing suicide by adding toxins to our foods / eatable bacteria would they contact us?

We are quarantining ourselves quite well, how long do we have? To believe that there will be anywhere safe. The Bacteria will pick up that adaptation. If some one eats garlic do you smell it? If a plant / flower were after a fertilizer / pollinator would they compete for that fertilizer / pollinator? How would they do it? By taking items from their food (fertilizer) and incorporating them in their scents? Pollen and pesticides blow in the wind. Are flower perfumes releasing 'herbicides, pesticides' into the air? Released as scents. Allergies from the plant or the additives that are added to the plant? To be safe they would have to live in space Not import anything food or animal (no bacteria) from Earth. More females than males Aids is a fallacy (chemicals immune system shuts down eventually) - chem.htm Look through my site for other links like Coors and connections from this beer company to a type of Religion and some that are in political power. The fact that more females are being born than males, "ref" Pesticides and how they effect the fetus. How could 'Traditional' family values continue if there is no way to have a traditional family? The Political and Religious parties of America have to know this yet they still hype the traditional family. Idolizing leads to dead ends in your thinking, yet males do not see how they are being maneuvered to thinking that it is the seven year itch or what ever, some males just think that it is natural.

Note: forwarded message attached. _ Do You Yahoo!? Free instant messaging and more at http://messenger.yahoo.com Forwarded by The Word Warriorette "Will forward - You decide" 08-04-99 07:42 PM God save the Republic and the Constitution of the united States of America! = DK:See below for hyperlink to email ALL of Washington, DC in one mouse click.DK = BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE: << The Waco cover-up begins to unravel http://www.WashTimes.com/opinion/ed3.html">http://www.WashTimes.com/opin ion/ed3.html By Paul Craig Roberts In July 27, the chairman of the Texas Department of Public Safety, James B. Francis Jr., told the Dallas Morning News that evidence in possession of the Texas Rangers calls into question the federal government's account of the deadly federal assault and subsequent fire that claimed the lives of scores of men, women and children in the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. Mr. Francis wants to turn the evidence over to federal district court Judge Walter Smith. The U.S. Department of Justice is trying to block the Texas Rangers from releasing the evidence. Mr. Francis says that the Rangers have "some evidence that the world needs to see, in my opinion. The government does not want this evidence out, and yet, that's not right." Mr. Francis added: "It is a complete stonewall." The Texas Rangers should not trust Judge Smith with the evidence. Judge Smith presided over the trial of the Waco survivors. He has been strongly denounced by the jury foreman and jury members for misleading the jury in order to sentence the survivors. The jury foreman has repeatedly criticized Judge Smith for sentencing the survivors for offenses for which the jury did not convict. Judge Smith deceived the jury to oblige the Justice Department. By handing down long sentences that the jury did not intend, Judge Smith prevented the verdict from casting doubt on the government's explanation of what happened at Waco and prevented the survivors from being available to the media to tell their stories. Judge Smith is also presiding over the large number of wrongful death civil suits brought by relatives of the Waco dead against the federal government. In order to protect the government, Judge Smith has been endeavoring to throw out and block most of the suits and to exclude as much evidence as possible. Lawyers and investigators involved in the wrongful death suits tell me that they have powerful evidence that the federal government is guilty of criminal assault, criminal negligence, and reckless endangerment. The evidence of wrongful death is partly the work of seasoned investigators like Gordon Novel, and persistent attorneys such as David Hardy, who succeeded in forcing release of information through the Freedom of Information Act. But some important evidence appears to have leaked from government officials sickened by the federal massacre and cover-up. There is a belief within the government itself that if the federal government gets away with its Waco cover-up, the casualty will be the rule of law. Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark is a lawyer for many of the wrongful death suits. He described to me some of the key evidence: the FLIR tape (Forward Looking Infra Red), which shows federal automatic fire into the compound on the day of the fire. Mr. Clark also has Dr. Edward F. Allard's "Thermal Imaging Report" and the "Sun Reflection Geometry Report" prepared by Maurice Cox of the National Reconnaissance Office. These reports make clear that the images on the FLIR tape are images of federal gunfire. Mr. Hardy says he has an FBI report that acknowledges federal gunshots during the fire originating from an FBI position designated as Sierra One. Mr. Hardy also has an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms memo reporting that three ATF agents went on a friendly shooting excursion with David Koresh nine days before the initial ATF assault on the compound. Koresh was the Branch Davidian leader who the government claims could not be lured out of the compound to be served with a warrant. Recently, the Texas Rangers allowed Michael McNulty, producer of the award-winning 1997 documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement," access to physical evidence that incendiary devices were fired into the compound by federal agents on the day of the fire. Mr. McNulty is working on a sequel to his award-winning film. Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark says the evidence of wrongful death is overwhelming --even without the powerful evidence in his possession. "The first civil right," Mr. Clark says, "is to be free from unlawful and excessive force by your own police. That is the difference between a free society and a police state." "At Waco a police force exceeding 700 men with armo

Rahn Former Chief Editor of Intelligence Office of the Director of Information Control Office of Military Government, Germany No Date - Printed in Poland out-of-print - ---" NOT until I sat down to write this book and reflected on my experience and organized my notes did I realize that what had seemed to me and my friends in Germany to be a chaos of corruption and incompetence had actually been a planned development following a very definite pattern. In fact, it has become increasingly clear that the pattern of events in Germany from 1944 to mid-1947 mirrored in sharp perspective what was happening at home in America. Developments in Germany, too, have paralleled our actions in the United Nations and our relations with the Soviet Union, Greece, Spain, China, Britain, Israel with the entire world."--- Om K - CHAPTER ONE Operation Aachen: First Victory and Defeat "The true goal we seek is far above and beyond -the ugly field of battle. When we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. We Americans are not destroyers we are builders." >From Fireside Chat, December 9, 1941. AACHEN was test case number one, where the GIs and MG first showed their stuff in Germany and the conflict between the different philosophies on how to deal with the Germans was first exposed. On September 10, 1944, the first American shells burst on the soil of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich. The GIs were swinging into the Nazi homeland. A week later the American First Army began the siege of Aachen, our first German city. At our headquarters in Twelfth Army Group Psychological Warfare, we were taking bets again on the end of the war. "Christmas", fellows were saying, "Christmas, for sure." At the end of the month, on September 29th, in recognition of the beginning of the occupation of Germany, General Dwight Eisenhower, the Allied Supreme Commander, announced our intentions in a proclamation to the Germans: "We come as conquerors, but not as oppressors... We shall overthrow the Nazi rule, dissolve the Nazi party and abolish the cruel, oppressive and discriminatory laws and institutions which the Party has created. We shall eradicate the German militarism which has so often disrupted the peace of the world." Even the cynical guys, the fellows who used to say. "What's the matter with you dumb bastards? You think it's going to be any different this time than it was after the last war?" even they shook their heads. This was pretty good stuff, the brass was doing all right. But the German High Command realized that if Aachen didn't hold, we'd flood through the Siegfried Line right to the Rhine before von Rundstedt; could regroup the shattered Wehrmacht divisions we'd routed out of France. Von Rundstedt issued an order of the day warning the German troops: "I expect you to defend the sacred German soil with all your might to the last." And the Fritz fought for every pillbox. Aachen had important psychological as well as strategic significance, and Hitler knew it as well as we did. As Charlemagne's capital and the repository of his tomb and an ancient Roman outpost and medieval cultural center, Aachen was a home of German legend and a shrine of German military glory. Now, as the first German city under attack in the West, Aachen had new importance. All over the Reich I the Germans were watching Aachen and waiting for Hitler's decision to spare the city or turn it into a symbol of German resistance to the death. What happened in Aachen would determine what policy the Nazis would follow in other cities. To exploit the propaganda possibilities in the situation, we marshalled our entire arsenal of psychological warfare in support of the combat forces, spraying the city with leaflets from the big guns embanked in an arc about the valley and from hundreds of planes overhead. Public address trucks inched up to the frontlines repeating the messages we were broadcasting continuously over powerful Radio Luxembourg: "Save Aachen from useless destruction... further resistance is hopeless... Eisenhower promises conquest without oppression... prisoners will receive good treatment." >From a wealthy citizen of Aachen we learned that our psychological warfare had claimed an important victim, Graf von Schwerin, the commanding general of the 116th Panzer (Armored) Division. He had opposed the forced evacuation of the city ordered by the Fuehrer and advised citizens to remain in their homes. He had desired to save Aachen by declaring it an open city. A scion of one of the most ancient Junker families in Germany, von Schwerin had acted like a "queer duck" before. From captured documents we knew he had sharply disagreed with his superiors two or three times over the conduct of the campaign in France and had in each case appealed directly and personally to the Fu

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT in a Fireside Chat, July 28, 1943. ABOUT THIS BOOK THIS book seeks to expose to the American people the actual results of the Truman Doctrine in the nations where it is applied, how it betrays our war aims and aggravates international tensions. I have limited the scope of this essay to a discussion of the American Zone (of Germany) to focus on our own policy and methods without becoming involved in tangential issues. On the premise that many Americans do not fully understand such terms as "reactionary", the "democratic middle", "the red menace", etc., I have attempted to humanize these concepts through the use of explanatory anecdotes and personalized experience. Although some of the information presented here is not entirely new to well-informed Americans, I think this is the first attempt to recount the entire development of the occupation and to place events in their framework. The material is, I believe, important in itself as historical documentation. It has value, too, right now in indicating the general drift of American policy at home and abroad since the end of the war. I have brought the book up to July, 1947. It will still be timely if published in the spring of 1950 inasmuch as the trends described in the book will still be present, further evolved and more evident.

We must be sure that when you have won victory, you will not have to tell your children that you fought in vain that you were not betrayed." FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: From adress[sic] to International Student Assembly, September 3, 1942. "WHAT can you do with a country like this?" It was a few days after VE day, May, 1945. A group of us were sitting with our feet on the porch railing, smoking and watching the Germans promenade past our Twelfth Army Group Psychological Warfare billets, the Hotel Bristol, on the main street in Bad Nauheim, the famous, undamaged spa north of Frankfurt. Every evening, it was the same question. It was rarely followed, however, by any real discussion. Feeling -was too high for an argument on how to treat the Germans. One evening the colonel pushed his chair back angrily and strode into the lobby, muttering, "God damm' these bastards, I hate these people." The colonel had lost one of his sons in the war and the other had been seriously wounded. He had the point of view of the combat men, and most of the fellows in our det

POTUS order and national security findings attached. 5. The recovered aircraft shows evidence of an explosive device having been glued or affixed within the tail luggage compartment. 6. Device was apparently actuated by a barometric trigger. Radio signals not ruled out. 7. Tail of aircraft was dismembered from the plane making it front heavy. 8. Study of radar shows the plane fell in excess of 6,000 feet per minute up to radar cutoff. 9. Satellite images supplied by the National Reconnaissance Office record an outbursting flash from the aircraft just prior to it going into perpendicular descent. 10. Tail structure was dismembered just prior to descent. 11. Recovery of a piece of luggage from beyond the flight path of the aircraft correlates with it being hurtled out of the tail luggage compartment at outburst. 12. Preliminary examination of the aircraft shows residue of an explosive device the Laboratory identifies as being the type used by certain foreign intelligence agencies. Refer to POTUS order and findings. 13. Study of Air Traffic Control and other radio signals shows no Mayday report from the aircraft, explained by rapidity of descent. 14. Investigation and examination has been strictly compartmentalized. 15. A short, perfunctory examination of the recovered bodies was completed. Examination revealed that Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was in third trimester pregnant, the fetus a boy. The four bodies were transferred to a senior member of the Kennedy family. The Bureau was not informed whether the bodies were actually cremated. Indirect advisories report that the bodies may have been shipped in untagged containers to foreign destinations.

In the UK, the bias of education and effective lives has swung in the favour of the female - and more men than ever are becoming redundant as a result of social education and policies. Illiterate school leavers are predominately male in the UK. The NWO social engineering angle is that the Next Race will be hermaphroditic. Smash the family unit - individualise the sexual process - take total control of the reproductive process - implant the results - and bingo - you've got the perfect well adjusted factory unit.

Re: [CTRL] [Alert!] U.S. buildup in Colombia? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Stories like this are utterly confusing to me. First of all, I had thought that the "drug traffickers" were connected with the government and/or the military--either directly or through corruption. And supported by elements in the US government. Next, I had thought the "guerillas" were connected with people--indigenous, Native, and otherwise outside the main economy--who were struggling to survive a corrupt regime that had thrust them into poverty, people who want land and economic reforms. Then, I had thought that the US had an interest in protecting the drug traffic in Colombia (which, it seems, has been our policy for decades, in spite of what we say in public)--unless of course the main traffic has moved elsewhere and Colombia is about to be dumped as America's main drug source, a la Panama and Noriega. Confusions like this make stories like this absolutely mind-boggling and impossible to understand. Has the Colombian government and military ever been "on the side" of the Colombian people? At the risk of sounding hopelessly naive, I have thought, for the longest time, that drugs were the main product and export of Colombia, Juan Valdez notwithstanding.

-Caveat Lector- [NOTE: This rather extensive list of names and charges are forwarded directly via Ether Zone Online (http://etherzone.com). This is an admittedly conservative site. Given this qualification, the reader is encouraged to take the information for what it's worth. I OPENLY encourage all who read this information to refute the facts/details as presented by the original author. I will post such refutations in like manner.] ~~Begin Forward Here is the latest body count that we have. All of these people have been connected with the Clintons in some form or another. We have not included any deaths that could not be verified or connected to the Clintons. All deaths are listed chronologically by date.

-Caveat Lector- Here is the latest body count that we have. All of these people have been connected with the Clintons in some form or another. We have not included any deaths that could not be verified or connected to the Clintons. All deaths are listed chronologically by date. This list is current and accurate to the best of our knowledge as of January 13, 1999. http://www.genniferflowers.com/bodycount.htm The Clinton Body Count Death, Corruption and Misadventure within the Clinton Administration Gennifer Flowers has long been aware of the frightening list of the deceased associated with Bill Clinton. She is also aware of the alarming reality that this "Death List" appears to continually grow. This awareness was the primary factor which motivated Gennifer to tape record her telephone conversations with Bill Clinton. After her apartment had been secretly entered, ransacked and violated by an unwelcome intruder who mysteriously had acquired an entry key to her residence, and her own mother had received threatening telephone calls, Gennifer knew she had to do something to protect herself and her family. She needed something tangible to offer as evidence should any occasion ever call for proof of her story. Some may have criticised her actions as unethical, however, death by misadventure is certainly unethical. Gennifer had no desire or intent to become another name on a growing death list, tallying the bodies of those individuals unfortunate enough to become victims of the Clinton power structure. President Clinton's administration has been soiled with filth and corruption throughout his political career. President Clinton, his wife Hillary Clinton, and various associates, are believed by many people all over the world to be criminals. The evidence brought forth is poignant and dispels the likelihood of coincidence in reference to mysterious death scenarios connected to Bill Clinton. The incredible number of deaths which have occurred under questionable circumstances, by people associated with the Clintons has come to be called the "Clinton Body Count".

Customer Review: [5 stars] Number of Reviews: 19 Reviews Amazon.com In a high Himalayan cave, among the death pits of Bosnia, in a newly excavated Java temple, Long's characters find out to their terror that humanity is not alone--that, as we have always really known, horned and vicious humanoids lurk in vast caverns beneath our feet. This audacious remaking of the old hollow-earth plot takes us, in no short order, to the new world regime that follows the genocidal harrowing of Hell by heavily armed, high-tech American forces. An ambitious tycoon sends an expedition of scientists, including a beautiful nun linguist and a hideously tattooed commando former prisoner of Hell, ever deeper into the unknown, among surviving, savage, horned tribes and the vast citadels of the civilizations that fell beneath the earth before ours arose. A conspiracy of scholars pursues the identity of the being known as Satan, coming up with unpalatable truths about the origins of human culture and the identity of the Turin Shroud, and are picked off one by bloody one. Long rehabilitates, madly, the novel of adventures among lost peoples--occasional clumsiness and promises of paranoid revelations on which he cannot entirely deliver fail to diminish the real achievement here; this feels like a story we have always known and dreaded. --Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk Publishers Weekly, 5/24/99 ...a dizzying synthesis of supernatural horror, lost-race fantasy and military SF...Long's novel brims with energy, ideas and excitement. Library Journal, 5/1/99 ...invites comparison to Dante -- but his style is more reminiscent of early Stephen King, when characters still mattered...one of those compelling books that is difficult to finish but even more difficult to put down. Booklist, 3/15/99 It's been a long time since an adventure novel this original, this well-developed, this genuinely exciting, came along ...

It was similar to Stephen King's the Stand in that it began by randomly focusing on different characters who all come into contact with the underground beings, but eventually their lives all become connected. It had romantic moments, really scary moments and really chilling moments.

[CTRL] Fwd: Goodbye Sovereign Switzerland--US NEXT?!
8.4.99 Recipients-- Here's what just happened to Switzerland. I think it's safe to say that the forces behind this tremendous and subversive attack on the very foundations of the Swiss nation, it's Constitution--the very heart and soul of which has been torn out and crushed; have the United States next on their list and very firmly in their sights. One of the first steps in this demolishment of Swiss political system by New World Order head honchos was severing the previously inviolable tie between Swiss currency and *G*O*L*D*. Well sheesh, we already DID that part over 35 years ago! Massive disinformation campaigns which caused serious headspinning and arm twisting of the Swiss electorate resulted, most unfortunately, in them actually voting to demolish to most important underpinnings of their entire socio-political structure. Swiss sovereignty, their much-vaunted "neutrality", and OF COURSE there constitutionally MANDATED people's militia are now but dust bin the wind. This should serve as a MOST SERIOUS warning regarding the New World Order's plans for the future of OUR constitutional republic such as it is or ever was. Find out for yourself in the article below. And DON'T say it "can't happen here." It CAN! John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. New American Vol. 15, No.15, July 19, 1999 http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1999/07-19-99/vo15no15_swiss.htm Goodbye Sovereign Switzerland by Jane H. Ingraham With scarcely a murmur of dissent, the seemingly impossible was accomplished. Lacking understanding, the Swiss people voted this spring to end the unique soundness of their currency as well as their country's financial power and independence. Oblivious to the consequences of abandoning the Swiss franc's tie to gold, the people of Switzerland -- the world's only direct democracy -- approved a new constitution that abolishes the traditional gold convertibility that for generations made the Swiss franc literally "as good as gold." This historic decision is the culmination of an orchestrated international assault to wipe out the last remaining obstacle to an inflatable global paper currency, long a goal of American and European Insiders of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission. With good reason, the Insiders have loathed the presence on the international financial market of this stable currency backed by a precious metal, which puts a brake on inflation and arbitrary manipulation. Since 1933, when FDR stripped Americans of their gold under false pretenses, the Insider game has been central bank control of printing-press money and credit, expanding and contracting the supply to suit their own agenda, creating booms and busts cleverly called "business cycles." Having reduced the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar to pennies over the past 60 years, the Insiders were ready to move into the final global phase. Plan of Attack As a matter of necessity, the Swiss franc's disciplinary tie to gold had to be abolished. But how? Franklin Roosevelt did it by executive order. But this would not have been allowed in Switzerland with its weak central government and strong tradition of independence in the cantons. What it boiled down to was that the Swiss people would have to be made to do it to themselves. Masters at psychological and semantic warfare, the Insider cabal concocted a contemptible smokescreen, using the suffering of the Jewish people as bait. The New York Times and the Washington Post launched an avalanche of shockingly vituperative accusations against the highly respected Swiss banking industry. The charge: Swiss banks still held gold deposited by Jews who became victims of the Holocaust. Spearheaded by the fabulously wealthy Edgar Bronfman (CFR), owner of the multinational liquor company Seagram and president of the World Jewish Congress, the "funds without heirs" assault quickly mushroomed into a "humanitarian" rescue mission for "abused" Jews who had had bank doors "slammed in their faces" when they tried to collect. Nowhere in this sustained propaganda was there a semblance of proof of any "unclaimed assets." Overlooked was the fact that in the 1950s and again in 1962, Swiss banks formally investigated the dormant accounts of persons who may have died in the war and paid out tens of millions to survivors and Jewish causes. In spite of this, the pressure was so intense that the Swiss government was forced to agree to convene an Independent Commission of Eminent Persons to audit the banks' records yet again. The Commission's chairman was none other than Paul Volker of Federal Reserve fame and powerful member of both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.

The editor is cheered or remorseful as appropriate and posts some of the more interesting messages at http://prorev.com/letters.htm -- WE ARE NOT MAKING THIS UP ASSOCIATED PRESS: Hillary Rodham Clinton does not blame her husband's marital infidelity on the tumult of his childhood, her spokeswoman said Tuesday, despite the apparent link she drew in a much-discussed magazine article. "She did not say the president's childhood in any way caused his behavior, nor does she believe that," spokeswoman Marsha Berry said. In the debut issue of Talk magazine, which went on sale Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton said the president was "scarred by abuse" as a child Expanding on her husband's background, Mrs. Clinton said he was scarred at age 4 by a struggle between his mother and grandmother. A psychologist once told me that for a boy being in the middle of a conflict between two women is the worst possible situation," she said. "There is always a desire to please each one." Vice President Gore says that next year's presidential election is "no time to take a far-right-U-turn." Uncovered by the National Review in Bill Bradley's sports memoir, "Life on the Run": "After so many nights on the road in so many different hotels encountering so many different situations, everything takes on an ephemeral quality; everything ends with the payment at the cashier's desk the next morning. What normally would be out of the question for me becomes acceptable in the self-contained world of Mt. Marriott or Holiday Valley. Normal shyness would prevent me from entering a stranger's hotel room, but on the road there seems to be nothing to lose. Everyone in the hotel sleeps under the same roof for one night and moves on. Loneliness can be overcome only by reaching out for contact: a conversation in the bar, a sharing of dinner, a question in an elevator, a direct invitation, a telephone call to a room, or a helping hand with doors, windows, TVs, locks, or ice machines. The percentages are that if a man spends enough nights in hotels he will meet a woman with whom for that night he will share a bed, giving each a brief escape from boredom and loneliness. Make no mistake: Life in hotels is no continuous orgy. There are months of nights in one's room, alone. And it is rare that an encounter develops beyond the verbal level. It is very unusual when everything feels right and the loneliness of the road oppresses two strangers equally at the same time." >From "Exposing Myself" by Geraldo Rivera, 1991: "We named names and provided documented evidence of the misdeeds. The businessmen blindsided us with a lawsuit. Even then, I thought we had these guys nailed, but flaws began to appear in our case after a well-funded and stubborn counterattack by several of those named. One problem: We had used a hidden camera to obtain damning audio and video evidence against the businessmen. That is a fine tactic in most jurisdictions, but illegal in Illinois. We finally settled the lawsuits, but the hassle set the frustrating tone for the entire year." After protest from some politically powerful Jewish groups, the name of a well-regarded Arab-American was withdrawn as a nominee to a national commission of terrorism by House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt. He has now found a suitable Arab-American to serve on the commission: a Christian who works for the Justice Department and is married to a Jewish lawyer.

[CTRL] Congress slow to act on audit (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- August 4, 1999 Congress slow to act on audit Congressman explains colleagues' silence By Stephan Archer © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Although it could very well be the most flagrant abuse of power the nation has seen since Nixon, Congress has remained silent. The abuse of power being referred to is the Internal Revenue Service's 1996 audit of the Western Journalism Center, parent company of WorldNetDaily. Political motivations behind the audit were alleged by the center's founder, Joseph Farah, when the IRS agent in charge of the audit, Thomas Cederquist, said the case was a "political case" and "the decisions were being made at the national level." Last July, Farah and his Western Journalism Center at last received additional evidence the audit was politically motivated when a heavily redacted 1997 Treasury Department Report about the center titled, "Questionable Exempt Organization Activity," was released to the center as part of its Freedom of Information Act request. The report said, "The audit originated from a taxpayer who faxed a letter to the White House expressing his concern over a one-page advertisement paid for by WCJ (Western Center for Journalism) that asked for contributions to investigate (White House deputy counsel Vincent) Foster's death. The fax was forwarded to the EO (Exempt Organizations) National Office and then to the respective Key District Office for appropriate actions." The taxpayer's name who wrote the letter to Clinton on Nov. 9, 1994, after seeing the ad in the Los Angeles Times is Paul Venze. WorldNetDaily, in attempting to get a reaction from Congress, has made repeated calls to numerous members of Congress but has had little success in getting even the smallest comment from any of them. Most of the congressmen didn't even know Western Journalism Center had been the target of a politically motivated audit. Rep. John Doolittle, R-Calif., explained to WorldNetDaily a possible reason for Congress' lack of response on the issue may have had to do with the fact that on July 20, the very day both WorldNetDaily and the Wall Street Journal broke the story, Congress was "riveted on passing a tax bill." "I think that drowned out everything else," Doolittle said. "I really think that's the lion's share of the explanation as to why I suspect most people weren't even aware of it." For his part, though, Doolittle said he will do what he can to raise the profile of the case. He plans on doing this by meeting with members of the Conservative Action Team because this is "the sort of thing that ought to be talked about." The uncanny timing of the Treasury Department's release of documents and Congress' hectic session may bring some questions to mind, but Judicial Watch's Larry Klayman, who filed suit against the IRS on behalf of the journalists, said it wasn't any political calculation that caused the Treasury Department to release the documents when they did. "They did it because one part of the Justice Department realized the other part was in serious trouble and didn't want to be blamed," Klayman said. "The part of the Justice Department that defends the case in Sacramento is the Tax Division," continued Klayman. "They're the ones that had the file, and they're the ones that were withholding the documents. The part of the Justice Department that defends the FOIA case is the U.S. Attorney's Office. And I think -- now this is my guess -- but I think when they found out their brothers in the Tax Division were withholding documents, they figured they didn't want to be part of an obstruction of justice, and they forced the documents to come out. It has nothing to do with Congress. I'm very certain of that." Doolittle, who agrees the audit of the center looks "suspicious," thinks the current case is worse than Richard Nixon's abuse of the IRS in the Watergate scandal. In Nixon's time, however, it was grassroots Republicans that blew the whistle on their own man in the White House. Will grassroots Democrats now do the same? "Well after what we've just been through (the impeachment), I don't know what to think anymore," said Doolittle. "I still can't explain how what happened, in fact, happened." Although not speculating on what grassroots Democrats would do, Klayman had a possible explanation for the lack of interest in the Republican Party. "Right now, this particular political party (Republican) has no leadership, and they're just hoping they get back into power," Klayman said. "Would a Republican Congress which thinks Filegate can wait until the next administration -- which thinks that Chinagate can wait until the next administration -- have any interest in protecting the Western Journalism Center?" asked Klayman matter-of-factly. Doolittle pointed out, though, that the type of political coverage by the press may have affected the case. "Here, the press is basically protecting Clinton," explained Doolittle. "They weren't protecting (Nixon). I mean, my heavens

ME 1:185 "[Montesquieu wrote in Spirit of the Laws, VIII,c.3:] 'In the state of nature, indeed, all men are born equal; but they cannot continue in this equality.

"For the ordinary safety of the citizens of the several States, whether against dangers from within or without, reliance has been placed either on the domestic means of the individuals or on those provided by the respective States." --Thomas Jefferson to James Brown, 1808. -- June 20, 1997 The China Syndrome: Let's not be hasty with a prescription By US Representative Ron Paul As a physician I know that what might at first seem to be a cure for a particular ailment is really sometimes not a cure at all. In fact, going with a gut reaction to prescribe a cure can do more harm than the original problem. The same is true for matters of state. The initial reaction to a problem in society, or the world, will leads us to make a conclusion about a course of action. Unfortunately, that first reaction can be wrong, even though guided with the best of intentions. We have such a case before us now. It is the dilemma of whether or not China should be granted the same trade relationship granted to almost every other nation of the world, a status misleadingly referred to as "Most Favored Nations," or, MFN. We all know the charges: the Chinese government violates basic human rights of its citizens, it is hostile towards Christianity, and its system of government runs contrary to our most fundamental beliefs. The initial reaction of our collective national psyche is to oppose MFN, to be tough, and say, "No way, no special deals for China." But is it the best solution? To clear up a misconception, MFN is not a "special" status. In fact, MFN for a country simply means we will trade with that nation with no extraordinary barriers to their entering our marketplace. Free trade is not something to be lightly dismissed. And MFN is nothing more than an attempt, albeit imperfect, at free trade. Eliminating MFN status for China does not hurt the Chinese government. But it does hurt Americans in two ways. First, by imposing what is essentially a tax on our people. It is a tax because it is the American consumer who will pay higher prices on goods which come from China due to US policy. That means higher prices on many items, but not just items which come directly from China. If the tariffs on Chinese goods increases, people will be forced to find replacement products. As the demand for those products increase, so will those prices. The second way it hurts Americans is the reciprocal barriers China will inevitably create. It will be almost impossible for our farmers and businessmen to sell their products there, which is why nearly every farmer and every agricultural group I have heard from supports MFN. But the critics of MFN for China do not address the free-trade aspect of the debate, or the very real cost eliminating MFN will have on the American people. Instead, they focus on the real facts that the basic rights of people the rights we as Americans declare come from God are often violated by China. And for that I defer to those who are "on the ground" in China: the missionaries. According to Father Robert Sirico, a Paulist priest who recently discussed this topic on the Wall Street Journal's opinion page, the Americans actually in China working to help the Chinese people are scared of what ending MFN might do to their efforts and the people to whom they minister. After all, ending MFN will not bring about the freedoms we hope China may confer on its people, nor will ending MFN mean more religious freedom or fewer human rights violations. In fact, those working in China to bring about positive change fear only the worst if MFN is withdrawn. "As commercial networks develop, Chinese business people are able to travel freely, and Chinese believers have more disposable income with which to support evangelistic endeavors," Sirico writes. Even worse, the missionaries have been reporting that "such action would endanger their status there, and possibly lead China to revoke their visas. It would severe

My Sources contacted me after John Kennedy, Jr's plane went down. They gave me some information that made me incredibly uneasy then they told me that I couldn't release it over the Rumor Mill until they told me I could. To protect myself, I sent the information to some trusted friends and told them not to make it public until I said it was okey or.. I waited many days, and then called a friend whose lines are tapped by my Sources group.(I do not know if my friend knows it is My Sources group who is tapping his phone ) I know that everything I say to him will be heard by my Sources. This is the only way I have of initiating communication with them. I asked for permission to publish the information. Several days later I received a fax with their symbol on it. It said: STAND DOWN This means stop what I am doing and don't start again until I am given permission. This is one of the things I agreed to do when I agreed to release their information. I don't know why they don't want the information they gave me released. But I doubt they would have given me this order if there wasn't an extremely good reason.

[CTRL] Fwd: Big Brother Control of News-Update
Recipients-- We've received MANY requests for further information on Clinton's Presidential Decision Directive #68. You know: the one that pretty much completes the burial ceremonies for the tattered remnants of our so-called free press. The one which decrees that henceforth ALL "news" made available to the public be passed through the screening processes of the newly-created International Public Information (IPI) system, so that all news being reported is "synchronized", "DE-CONFLICTED", sanitized, and otherwise completely gutted of any semblance of inconsistency with the officially approved version of reality which WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TOLD. In other words, ALL news reported in this country is due to be BLATANTLY and thoroughly spin-doctored by Administration clones in pursuit of completely seamless management and "handling" of the news; so that we ONLY hear and see WHAT THEY SAY we can hear and see. Why does this reminds me so much of the tactics of totalitarian regimes like Communist China, Russia, Hitler's Third Reich and that satirized in George Orwell's 1984? It seems the actual text of this directive has NOT been made public. Any guesses why that's the case? John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. For the most comprehensive report available on the subject http://www.washtimes-weekly.com/stories/exclusive.html THE WASHINGTON TIMES Weekly Edition Published in Washington, D.C. August 2 - 8, 1999 -- Edition "America's Newspaper" Administration spin to go global By Ben Barber A former senior Clinton administration official charged on July 28 that a new multiagency plan to closely control the dissemination of public information abroad is really aimed at "spinning the American public." The plan, disclosed on July 28 by The Washington Times, emerged out of concern that the U.S. public has refused to back President Clinton's foreign policy, said the former official, who spoke on the condition he not be identified. Administration officials "say news coverage is distorted at home and they need to fight it at all costs by using resources that are aimed at spinning the news," said the former official, who had close knowledge of the plan's development. Mr. Clinton in April issued Presidential Decision Directive 68, ordering the creation of the International Public Information (IPI) system, designed to make sure that all government agencies disseminating information abroad share a single message. A draft charter obtained by The Washington Times says the purpose of IPI is "to prevent and mitigate crises and to influence foreign audiences in ways favorable to the achievement of U.S. foreign policy objectives." Officials of U.S. defense, intelligence, diplomatic and other agencies met for the first time on July 28 at the State Department to go over the draft charter, said a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Only "minor changes" were made to the charter at that meeting, the source said, but it was possible that "major" changes would be made in the near future. Future meetings of an IPI "core group" developing the new information system are to be chaired by Morton Halperin, head of policy planning at the State Department. The draft charter says information aimed at U.S. audiences should "be coordinated, integrated, deconflicted and synchronized with the [IPI] to achieve a synergistic effect." The former senior official complained that the charter "did not distinguish what would be done overseas and what would be done at home. . . . It talks about a news war." In a telephone interview after the meeting, an administration official rejected accusations that IPI could be used in a partisan manner or be used to influence American public opinion. "This is absolutely not the case," said the official, who also declined to be identified. "We are very cognizant of the history of the '80s. There are congressional controls now." The official was referring to the 1980s Iran-Contra affair, in which some Reagan administration officials covertly sold arms to Iran to raise money to fund the Contra war in Nicaragua. After October, IPI will be run by the newly created undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, who will take over most of the duties of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA), which is being disbanded. Former White House aide Evelyn Lieberman has been nominated for that post. However, the IPI system was said to be the brainchild of White House intelligence chief Dick Clarke. His aide, former White House fellow Jamie Metzl, largely wrote the plan and is now serving as IPI senior coordinator, according to the former senior administration official. Media and political analysts expressed concern about the plan. "This . . . indicates a measure of desperation in President Clinton's foreign policy," said Seth Ackerman of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a liberal media-watch- dog group. "When it is not received well abroad, he resorts to propaganda." On the other end of the political spectrum, Ariel Cohen

-Caveat Lector- "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." --- Samuel Adams (1780) -- Only in the presence of God will the Devil be cast out! WEDNESDAY AUGUST 04 1999 Vote 'none of the above' in 2000 © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com In just under two days, a quick perusal of the news revealed several good reasons why our current two-party system is no longer functional. Among this list of items, see if you can spot a similar theme: Linda Tripp last week became the only figure charged with a crime in the Monicagate affair or, at a minimum, the only crime that will land anyone in jail if she is convicted. Though the evidence against mixed-sex training in the armed forces is convincing and overwhelming, a panel "examining" the issue voted to continue it anyway. The Marine Corps provided the best proof available, considering they don't train men and women together, but it too was ignored. Washington Times reporters discovered that an Interior Department official told his boss in a secret memo about his covert "on-the-job political campaign" aimed at "unseating House Republican leaders" in the 1998 election. So far Congress is "examining" this smoking gun. A British/NATO general ignored an order given to him by the Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Kosovo, Gen. Wesley Clark, to stop a Russian military force from entering the Pristina airport after a cease-fire had been reached in the Yugoslav war. As a result, Gen. Clark -- not the Briton -- was relieved of his command. A new report published in the Washington Post revealed what many have suspected for some time -- that the so-called GOP "revolution" of 1994 has resulted in little governmental change, as well as an increase, rather than a decrease, in spending on the federal level. The Justice Department has had evidence since 1997 that CitiBank in New York, Los Angeles and Hong Kong laundered money for Johnny Chung, who was acting on behalf of Chinese military operatives seeking to influence the 1996 presidential elections. I can almost hear Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., shaking his head in disgust. What do all of these stories have in common? They all demonstrate the total corruption of our system of government. They demonstrate to me that a criminal president -- Bill Clinton -- is firmly in control of his own destiny and there is no "opposition party" in place to checkmate him. Furthermore, these stories demonstrate: Republicans also cannot help but spend our money -- same as the Democrats. Republicans can't do anything about a military training decision that is so fundamentally wrong even some panel members who voted for it knew it was a bad decision and fundamentally wrong. * Republicans can do nothing to protect from politically motivated persecution an individual -- Ms. Linda Tripp -- who has more political courage than all of them put together. Republicans can do nothing to protect the status and position of a seasoned U.S. general who had his order ignored by some British underling in a time of war. Consequently, Republicans will be able to do nothing about the impending disintegration of NATO either. Republicans can do nothing about an administration that is so permeated with rot and corruption that there is literally not one single department or administrative bureaucracy that hasn't been tainted -- even one as obscure as Interior. Republicans can do nothing about obvious violations of the law regarding elections, campaign funding, and a president's treasonous commingling with intelligence agents of a powerful foreign country. These stories also show that this country is little more than a rudderless, leaderless vessel in a sea of corruption. Americans are being "led" in a manner befitting a third- or fourth-rate banana republic -- the very same kind of governments our politicians love to point and laugh at. There is so much "CYA" going on that if all the guilty parties ever had to go to court, the trial would stretch halfway through the next millennium -- all because Americans have no opposition party in Washington, D.C., for all intents and purposes. Having said that, I will admit that no reasonable conservative voter really expected the Republicans -- in less than five years -- to blow into D.C. on a promise of "revolution" and reverse 60 years of FDR-inspired socialism. However, few of us expected them to become part of the problem either. For instance, I believe most conservatives realize that Republicans are not yet powerful enough to roll back tax rates to five percent or cut 90 percent of the federal bureaucracy. And I don't think we expected them to convert Social Sec
[CTRL] [3] Were We Controlled?
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Were We Controlled? Lincoln Lawerence(C) 1967 University Books, Inc. New Hyde Park, N. Y. out -of-print --- A very interesting book. A bit of a hard read at the beginning, but then, the author(a psuedonymn) is covering some hard to grasp subjects. One thing to notice is that the operation( or at least parts of it ) began before even JFK was elected. Also there are very many interesting facts and theories presented. And for those with questions about Bunge corporation, it is discussed also. -- This book has recently been reissued in an annotated version, with much additional material, Highly reccommended. MIND CONTROL, OSWALD & JFK: Were We Controlled? by Kenn Thomas Adventures Unlimited Press POB 74 Kempton, IL 60946 Om K - 7. Lee Harvey Oswald Let us now re-state the R.H.I.C. theory as it relates to The Rumor. Exactly how could persons like Lee Harvey Oswald be "controlled" to perform the act of murder? By Radio-Hypnotic Intracerebral Control! We have seen that radio transmission can definitely produce meaningful stimulation of the brain. For R.H.I.C., the response need not be even as complex as those we have read about. All that is necessary is a simple neuromuscular twitch activated by radio. One of the few glimpses we have been given by the scientific communityof the ultra-miniaturized radio-muscle-stimulatorswas announced quietly by Dr. Wen Hsiung Ko of the Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland. He admitted that receivers the size of shirt-buttons were in the "experimental" stage . . . receivers that could be buried in muscles and used to stimulate them internally. Dr. Ko's admission to the technical press comes years after the R.H.I.C. technicians had placed such implants in operation for less worthy motives than his. Dr. Ko's experiments are related to the work that has been done in Europe for many years to stimulate artificial limbs. His announcement of the extent to which the equipment has been miniaturized is no surprise to the researcher of information on R.H.I.C. implantations. Now, accepting the feasibility of this, the "radio" part of R.H.I.C., let us move on to the "hypno" aspect. If the subject is placed under hypnosis and mentally programmed to maintain a determination eventually to perform one specific act (perhaps, for example, to shoot someone), it is suggested that thereafter, each time a particular muscle twitches in a certain manner (which is then demonstrated by using the transmitter) . . . he will increase this determination even more strongly. As the hypnotic spell is renewed again and again, he makes it his life's purpose to carry out this act, until it is finally achieved. Thus are the two complementary aspects of R.H.I.C. joined to reinforce each other and perpetuate the control until such time as the controlled behavior is called for. This is done by a second session with the hypnotist giving final instructions. These might be reinforced with radio-stimulation in more frequent cycles. They could even carry over the moments after the act to reassure calm behavior during the "escape" period (as in the case of Oswald) or to assure that one conspirator would not indicate he was aware of the co-conspirator's role or that he was even acquainted with him. This might serve to block so much as a mention of the other's name. (From the testimony before the Warren Commission by Jack Ruby.) RUBY: "Very rarely do I use the name Oswald. I don't know why. I don't know how to explain it " (From "Dallas Justice" by Melvin BelliPage 102.) "He (Ruby) rarely called Oswald by name." Consider how very difficult it is for anyone to discuss the assassination without using Oswald's name! R.H.I.C. is a very simple albeit fiendish combination of two known scientific tools joined in a sophisticated modification to produce a theoretically predictable result. R.H.I.C. is one procedure that can explain the events in Dallas. The questions in rebuttal to this stand come quickly to mind. "Can anyone . . . using R.H.I.C. or not . . . be hypnotized to commit a criminal act so brutal as murder? Isn't it true that one will not perform any act under hypnosis that one wouldn't in a perfectly uncontrolled state?" The answer is simply no. Dr. Theodore Barber of Harvard University in The Journal of Psychology states that a good subject will commit anti-social or dangerous acts if first convinced by the hypnotist that his behavior is normal and proper: such acts (as one account of Dr. Barber's work puts it) as throwing acid at the experimenter! "Two recent extensive reviews of this problem have not failed to note that since the good subject accepts the hypnotist's words as true statements, an unscrupulous hypnotist can induce the subject to commit 'anti-social' acts.' Again the skeptic's retort may be "All very well to theorize . . . but has it ever been proven that a person under hypnosis will actually do these things?" The answer is an unqualifi
[CTRL] Intelligence in the War of Independence
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/warindep/frames.html http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/warindep/frames.html">Intelligence in the War of Independence - History pages from the US government. Documentary and commentary. This is just a small sample of a complete report. Om K - Organization of Intelligence Organization of Intelligence The Committee of Secret Correspondence Recognizing the need for foreign intelligence and foreign alliances, the Second Continental Congress created the Committee of Correspondence (soon renamed the Committee of Secret Correspondence) by a resolution of November 29, 1775: RESOLVED, That a committee of five would be appointed for the sole purpose of corresponding with our friends in Great Britain, and other parts of the world, and that they lay their correspondence before Congress when directed; RESOLVED, That this Congress will make provision to defray all such expenses as they may arise by carrying on such correspondence, and for the payment of such agents as the said Committee may send on this service. The Committee members-America's first foreign intelligence directorate-were Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Harrison of Virginia and Thomas Johnson of Maryland. Subsequent appointees included James Lovell, a teacher who had been arrested by the British after the battle of Bunker Hill on charges of spying. He had later been exchanged for a British prisoner and was then elected to the Continental Congress. On the Committee of Secret Correspondence he became the Congress' expert on codes and ciphers and has been called the father of American cryptanalysis. The committee employed secret agents abroad, conducted covert operations, devised codes and ciphers, funded propaganda activities, authorized the opening of private mail, acquired foreign publications for use in analysis, established a courier system, and developed a maritime capability apart from that of the Navy. It met secretly in December 1775 with a French intelligence agent who visited Philadelphia under cover as a Flemish merchant, and engaged in regular communications with Britons and Scots who sympathized with the Patriots' cause. On April 17, 1777, the Committee of Secret Correspondence was renamed the Committee of Foreign Affairs, but kept with its intelligence function. Matters of diplomacy were conducted by other committees or by the Congress as a whole. With the creation of a Department of Foreign Affairs-the forerunner of the Department of State-on January 10, 1781, correspondence "for the purpose of obtaining the most extensive and useful information relative to foreign affairs" was shifted to the new body, whose secretary was empowered to correspond "with all other persons from whom he may expect to receive useful information." The Secret Committee Even before setting up the Committee of Secret Correspondence, the Second Continental Congress had created a Secret Committee by a resolution on September 18, 1775. The Committee was given wide powers and large sums of money to obtain military supplies in secret, and was charged with distributing the supplies and selling gunpowder to privateers chartered by the Continental Congress. The Committee also took over and administered on a uniform basis the secret contracts for arms and gunpowder previously negotiated by certain members of the Congress without the formal sanction of that body. The Committee kept its transactions secret, and destroyed many of its records to assure the confidentiality of its work. The Secret Committee employed agents overseas, often in cooperation with the Committee of Secret Correspondence. It also gathered intelligence about Tory secret ammunition stores and arranged to seize them. The Secret Committee sent missions to plunder British supplies in the southern colonies. It arranged the purchase of military stores through intermediaries so as to conceal the fact that the Continental Congress was the true purchaser. The Secret Committee used foreign flags to protect its vessels from the British fleet. The members of the Continental Congress appointed to the Committee included some of the most influential and responsible members of the Congress: Franklin, Robert Morris, Robert Livingston, John Dickinson, Thomas Willing, Thomas McKean, John Langdon, and Samuel Ward. The Committee on Spies On June 5, 1776, the Congress appointed John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Edward Rutledge, James Wilson and Robert Livingston "to consider what is proper to be done with persons giving intelligence to the enemy or supplying them with provisions." The same Committee was charged with revising the Articles of War in regard to espionage directed against the patriot forces. The problem was an urgent one; Dr. Benjamin Church, chief physician of the Continental Army, had already been seized and imprisoned as a British agent, but there was no civilian espionage act, and military law did not provide punishment se
[CTRL] why klintoon/algore won't cut taxes
-Caveat Lector- It is our right, and it is our duty, to remain free. --- Alan Keyes WEDNESDAY AUGUST 04 1999 Why Clinton won't cut taxes © 1999 Creators Syndicate, Inc. The only reason we may have achieved a balanced budget is because it sneaked up on the obsessive-compulsive spenders in Washington D.C. They simply did not see it coming. President Ronald Reagan predicted we would grow our way out of budgetary deficits, but liberals did not believe him. No one is more surprised than Bill Clinton. There is no way he would have allowed this to happen if he had not been caught off-guard. But he is quickly moving to rectify what liberals view as a repulsive, nigh unforgivable mistake: allowing revenues to overtake spending. His goal is to eliminate even the possibility of a surplus, not only for the next fiscal year, but for years to come. He will do this by launching new programs, making new spending commitments, and adding new entitlements. The reaction of liberals to the idea of a tax cut has been most revealing. They are deeply offended by the noxious thought that, perhaps, maybe, a fourth of the "surplus" should be returned to the people who actually earned the money and who are being seriously overcharged for government services rendered. In various rants over the past few weeks, Bill Clinton said that Republicans would "squander the surplus on a short-sighted, irresponsible, over-large tax plan." He was just getting warmed up. He said tax refunds would force "huge cuts in education, agriculture, the environment, defense, biomedical research ... indeed, everything we are doing to strengthen our country. ... It would cause us to revert to the dark old days of huge deficits, high interest rates, low economic growth and stagnation." He said that the proposed reduction in taxation discriminates against women and endangers the future of our children. This overheated rhetoric soars high above the routine lying we have come to expect from political hacks, even this one. It is a frothy and hysterical overreaction that transcends the demagogic and suggests the pathological. One might well have a policy difference over taxes, but to prophesize Armageddon, the end of the world as we know it, if taxes are cut, reflects either an inner world of delusions or an operative view of Americans as gullible dupes and simpletons. It has been said before and bears repeating: If an infinite number of Democrats sat before an infinite number of word processors for an infinite period of time, sooner or later, one of them would type out the sentence, "A budget may be balanced by reducing spending." However, nothing would change. I simply postulate they would type out the message. I am not prepared to say they would understand what they had written, no matter what infinities are assumed. It must be conceded that this impairment might be the result of some sort of chemical imbalance -- or some genetic misfortune. For this reason, perhaps we should not be too quick to judge. Perhaps we should simply remove these hapless people from the temptations for which they have no biological defenses. Whatever the reason, nurture or nature, it is an established fact that liberals are addictively drawn to every expansion of government power, every new tax, every piece of pork, every boondoggle, every new program, every old program and every pay raise and new amenity for themselves, their clients and their cronies. To be fair, there is another way of explaining the aversion of liberals to any reduction in taxes and spending. Think of the government as a business, with millions of employees who equate big government with job security and benefits. The goal of this business, as with any business, is to increase revenues and expand the customer base. Taxes are viewed as revenues, the higher the better; those who depend on government are customers, the more the merrier. Spending is considered an investment. Naturally, advertising is important to support the business. Those who produce wealth must be made to feel guilty for their success and less inclined to protest when it is taken from them; and those who receive government benefits and favors must be made to feel that they have a right to the fruit off someone else's tree. And everyone must be convinced that the constitutional limitations on the size and power of government are old-fashioned and outmoded. It takes a lot of creative, brain-bending advertising to induce these mindsets. However, when the propaganda is successful, the scam systematically proceeds with its massive "redistribution of wealth," not as is commonly believed, from one citizen to another, but from all citizens to the government. Liberals are wannabe elites in a socialist America. Once they get us to a point where the majority of citizens ar

[CTRL] [Alert!] U.S. buildup in Colombia? (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message - === Published Sunday, August 1, 1999, in the Miami Herald U.S. buildup in Colombia? The possibility of U.S. military intervention in Colombia may not be a burning issue in the United States, but it's grabbing headlines from Mexico to Argentina. In Latin America, the press seems virtually certain that a massive U.S. military buildup in Colombia is on the way. You can't blame Latin Americans for being suspicious: On July 23, a U.S. Army reconnaissance plane with five U.S. soldiers aboard crashed in a guerrilla-controlled Colombian mountain area, raising new questions about the U.S. military's mission. U.S. officials say the Pentagon maintains about 200 military personnel in Colombia, with duties that include training an elite Colombian battalion to combat drug trafficking. The battalion will begin operating in mostly guerrilla-dominated areas later this year. Meanwhile, the Clinton administration is calling Colombia's drug trafficking a U.S. national security problem, there is growing alarm over a massive exodus of Colombians to Florida, and U.S. anti-drug czar Barry McCaffrey has called for a $1 billion increase in U.S. anti-narcotics aid, most of it for the Colombian military. ``There is no mystery why Latin Americans are apprehensive,'' says Michael Shifter, of the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington think tank. ``Add the latest headlines to the recent NATO intervention in the Balkans and the long history of U.S. intervention in the hemisphere, and their conclusion is logical.'' During a tour of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela last week, McCaffrey was forced to repeat endlessly that Colombia will be no Vietnam. There will be ``zero U.S. intervention in Colombia,'' he stated in Venezuela. Should U.S. officials be believed? I asked a half-dozen well-placed current and former U.S. officials why they are so categorical in their denials of a U.S. military buildup in Colombia. Among their answers: There is a near consensus in top Clinton administration foreign policy circles that the civil war in Colombia is rooted in ancient political conflicts and cannot be won militarily. ``To think that the problem in Colombia could be solved with a military policy would be deceiving ourselves,'' said Arturo Valenzuela, a senior White House National Security Council official overseeing Latin American affairs. ``This is a problem that has been dragging on for 40 years, which has a lot to do with the progressive weakening of the central government.'' Even if U.S. troops could help Colombia's army win the war militarily, the risks of a Vietnam-style quagmire would far outweigh the rewards. ``There are no Cold War pressures in this case: There is no fear that Colombia is going to be taken over by a hostile superpower,'' says Brian Latell, a former chief CIA analyst for Latin America, who now teaches at Georgetown University. There is no support among the U.S. public for U.S. military involvement in Colombia's civil war, which has cost 35,000 lives over the past 10 years, and no one in Washington wants to take the risk of selling the idea. A U.S. anti-insurgency effort could backfire and help rally support for the guerrillas. Even if many Colombians would support a U.S. intervention, there would be a strong nationalistic reaction in other Latin American countries. U.S. officials say the current policy -- focusing on military anti-drug aid -- will ultimately weaken the rebels as well, because drug-trafficking rings pay the guerrillas up to $500 million a year in protection money. ``If we can do away with the drug traffickers, the guerrillas will not have the capacity to subsist at their current levels,'' one U.S. official said. Others add that by strengthening its underequipped army, Colombia's government will be able to negotiate from a position of greater strength. What do I think? The United States is highly unlikely to commit combat troops to Colombia. But some influential hard-liners in Washington are whispering that if 55 U.S. military advisors helped to defeat a leftist insurgency in El Salvador in the 1980s, the same could be done in Colombia. I would not be surprised if the next U.S. president -- especially if it's a Republican -- follows that road. = David L.

-Caveat Lector- from alt.conspiracy - As always, Caveat Lector. Om K - Computerised Election Fraud - Subject: Computerised Election Fraud From: "capcomx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 02 August 1999 08:29 PM EDT Message-id: <7o5d5s$cui$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> HORROR STORY: COMPUTERIZED ELECTION FRAUD Washington -- Susan Bernecker doesn't believe in grand conspiracies. She's a fitness instructor and local political activist in Jefferson Parish, La. But the events of Oct. 24, 1995 have shaken her faith in one of the basic tenets of democracy: one person, one vote. As a candidate for parish council, Bernecker stood an outside chance of beating incumbent Nick Giambelluca. But when the votes rolled in after the Oct. 21 election, she wound up with only 33 percent of the total. Three days later, on a Tuesday, Bernecker and the other candidates were invited to inspect the new, state-of-the-art voting machines that the parish had bought from a New York company, Sequoia Pacific Voting Equipment Inc. A "direct-recording" machine, it uses a computer to directly tabulate votes, which are cast by the press of a button. With a cameraman in tow to record the event, Bernecker tested one of the machines by pressing the button next to her name. To her astonishment, however, the name of her opponent appeared on a display at the bottom. She repeated the process several times, with mixed results. Bernecker filed suit to challenge the results of the election. But the judge wasn't convinced and threw the whole thing out after a one-day hearing. Nonetheless, the Bernecker case helps illustrate a chilling -- if very remote -- downside to the increased use of computers to tabulate election results: There is no paper trail, and no way to tell if an election has been tampered with. The stealing of elections is nothing new in American politics -- and every system has its flaws and vulnerabilities. But mechanical systems allow for a recount. In direct-recording systems, recounts are virtually impossible. Phil Foster, a salesman for Sequoia Pacific, explains that the wrong name appeared only because Bernecker "rolled her finger" as she was pressing the button, causing her to push two buttons at once. He adds that it would be virtually "impossible" to tamper with the machines without someone finding out. Bernecker insists that she didn't roll her finger, and some of those who've seen the videotape back her up. There is no evidence that Sequoia Pacific is guilty of any wrongdoing, or that anyone tampered with the machines. Even those who are opposed to computerized voting machines say that Sequoia Pacific's machines are some of the most tamper-resistant models on the market. Most likely, experts say, election tampering would have to come from the inside -- someone who knows and has access to the sophisticated computer code that is the "brains" behind computerized voting systems. If someone were to tamper with a computerized voting machine in this way, it would be practically impossible to detect -- and even harder to find the culprit. Eva Waskell of Reston, Va., has studied this problem for more than a decade. She says one major problem is that the computer codes that run the machines are protected as trade secrets, which makes it very had to have an election independently audited. "The election industry is virtually unregulated," Waskell complains, referring to the companies that provide election supplies and other hardware. The chances of a local election being rigged through computer tampering are indeed remote, and the risk that a presidential election could be rigged is virtually nonexistent. But by casting our votes via computer, are we opening the door to a day when our most vital right can be tampered with at the touch of a keystroke?

[CTRL] China Uses Info-War Techniques to Suppress Religious Following

Om K - China Uses Info-War Techniques to Suppress Religious Following 1999-08-03 00:49:08 By El Snatcher Liberty There are half-eaten animals lying on the sidewalks! -- Gene Maybe you haven't heard: the latest craziness happening in China is the large-scale protests against the recent banning of the heretofore little known New Age religion known as Falun Gong (pronounced fah-luhn gung). The Chinese government has launched an all out campaign against the estimated two million followers in China, including mass arrests, and BRUTAL propaganda attacks, which have now spilled onto the Internet. Despite the official ban, tens of thousands of angry followers of the sect have been proving its popularity by streaming out to large-scale protests all over China. Tiananmen Square hasn't seen so many protectors since the 1989 student crackdown. Many of them have been arrested -- some viciously beaten, and dragged into police vans by their hair. The Chinese government outlawed Falun Gong on July 22, when it feared the organization was getting too big, and posturing toward political power. China does not allow independent political organizations of any kind, fearing eventual challenges to the supreme uber-rule of the Chinese Communist Party. Like the followers of Tai Chi, Falun Gong followers do funny exercises in public parks, and other large outdoor areas. The religion is sort of an amalgamation of Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, deep breathing exercises known as Qi Gong, with a dash of martial arts thrown in. Started by a former clerk and trumpet player named Master Li Hongzhi (pronounced Hongshee) in 1992, Falun Gong quickly grew in China, and so did Li's legend. Some of his followers claim he can perform fantastic feats, such as cure cancer and turn white hair black. By 1995, his following was so large, and his "energy potency" at such a high level, that the Chinese authorities chased him out of the country. Currently he is a U.S. citizen living in New York. It is rumored that he spent significant time in Canada, where he honed his philosophies and literature. Once the decision to suppress the sect was made, the roust was swift and extreme. At least 100 spiritual leaders of the following were rounded up all over the country, homes of practitioners ransacked, and nearly two million books and other Falun Gong materials confiscated and quickly tossed into pulping machines. Beijing has ordered the arrest of the Master Li, and purportedly even offered a $500 million reduction of the United States' trade surplus in exchange for Li's extradition back to China. Lucky for him, he has a green card. The Chinese government has also launched a massive propaganda offensive, which includes an hour a day of anti-Falun Gong denouncements on Central China Television (CCTV). The Gongers are accused of spreading "superstitious, evil thinking," and advocating everything from eschewing scientific medicine to mass suicide. The followers of Falun Gong deny the allegations. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this story is how both the Chinese government and the followers of Falun Gong have been using the Internet. China immediately shut down every Falun Gong Web site within its reach, and suspended email access throughout the country for 48 hours after the ban. There is a large International community of Falun Gong followers, spreading the word of Master Li, and the latest news and information about what's going on in China, on Internet forums and swastika-bedecked Web sites (the swastika seems to be a symbol important to Falun Gongers), but the Chinese Government is furiously on the Info Warpath. The Associated Press is reporting that Falun Gong Web sites in the United States and elsewhere have been under heavy attack by hackers, who may be in the employ of the Chinese government. One ham-fisted hack attempt was traced back to the Chinese national police bureau in Beijing. There are also anti-Falun Gong Web sites maintained by the Chinese authorities.

"It's been made clear to me that the things I say about Bradley that are nice are heard in Gore's office," Mr Biden said. His comment suggested that those who did not back Mr Gore were being threatened with punishment by the Clinton Administration. "Ninety-five per cent of my colleagues here on the Democratic side believe that Bill Clinton has consciously turned over the reins of political power to Al Gore. Whether that's true is not really the point. That's an unusual tactic, a 1940s' tactic," Mr Biden said.

An ad says: CIA is looking for a few good "perception management" analysts. Perception management is the study "of how foreign entities attempt to mislead U.S. intelligence and policymakers on critical national security issues." (A bait and switch ad). The new IPI charter says: "The intelligence community will play a crucial role...for identifying hostile foreign propaganda and deception that targets the US...The IPI core group is ordered to "assist [U.S. government] efforts in defeating adversaries." The similarity of goals cited between the CIA want ad and the language of the IPI charter suggest that IPI is the brain child of the CIA -- just as an earlier near identical (and illegal) operation in the Reagan Administration was guided and directed by the CIA. Since the CIA's covert operations rely on lying in all its forms and since the intelligence community will play a crucial role in IPI operations, we must conclude that the CIA will direct this propaganda juggernaut. The IPI charter orders its core group to arrange "training exercises at the National Defense University, National Foreign Affairs Training Center, the Service War Colleges and other institutions." Thus, propaganda -- domestic and foreign -- replaces the importance of the "Counterinsurgency" training of another era. We are at war on reality with ourselves.

Annex Research is pleased to announce a new research product - the BIG BLUESBUSTER - a business Newsletter for IBM Watchers, written and edited by the "Dean of IBM Watchers," as the Enterprise Systems Journal of New York called the Annex Research president in a feature story on his career. "This publication has been created in direct response to many requests which we have been receiving from IBM employees, individual investors, webmasters of various Internet sites which deal with Big Blue topics, and other interested people - all asking us provide a business analysis of IBM designed for specific needs of INDIVIDUALS, not corporations," said Bob Djurdjevic, Annex Research president. "Well, now we have done just that." To find our more about the BIG BLUESBUSTER, or to check out some sample issues, please visit our Web site: www.djurdjevic.com, where you can also find other subsription and pricing details. Media inquiries should be directed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - August 2, 1999 ANNOUNCING... A Newsletter for IBM Watchers by the "Dean of IBM Watchers" BIG BLUESBUSTER Published by Annex Research - * Is Lou's Big Blue giving you the blues after years of toil and loyalty you've given the Armonk brass? * Armonk's creed has gone from Pride to Greed: Insiders sell millions of dollars of stock; IBM pension fund becomes a "Kill the Baby Boomers"-kitty. * Respect for the individual? What's that? A line from "The Way We Were" movie? * A French king, Louis XIV (1638-1715), once declared: "Létat, cest moi!" IBM's king, Louis XIX of Armonk, might as well have declared, "Le Big Bleu, cest moi!" * The same French king (Louis XIV), was not satisfied with only one royal palace (the Louvre).

Founded in 1978, it serves a select clientele of senior IT executives, investors and IT lessors, and has helped to shape the competitive strategies of some of the industrys most prominent companies. Unlike many in the industry, the world's premier "IBM Watcher," Bob Djurdjevic, president of Annex Research, had the art of business practiced before starting to preach. He spent 8 years with IBM in the early 1970s, and had also run his own computer trading company before starting Annex Research. What sets Djurdjevic apart from other IT analysts/consultants? A 21-year, PROVEN track record of excellence. The FORTUNE magazine, for example, described his analysis of IBM as "prescient," and Annex Research as a "respected consulting firm." The Computer Weekly of London called Djurdjevic "Father of Knowledge" in one personal profile, and the "Giant Killer" in another one (the latter was in reference to the role Djurdjevic's critical editorials played in the former IBM chairman's, John Akers', eventual dismissal). The New York-based Information Week ran an article on him headlined "Watching Those Who Watch IBM." Last but not least, the late IBM chairman, Tom Watson, Jr., publicly acknowledged Djurdjevic's contribution to his 1990 bestseller. In short, Djurdjevic has been tracking, analyzing and consulting in this industry longer than most analysts have even been in the business. His keen business sense, developed through practical hands-on experience, accompanied with his extensive understanding of the global IT marketplace have made him a key resource for
[CTRL] Total Bannishment of Fire Arms Near (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Many of us have long believed that the media's incessant push for regulation of firearms was only a precursor to the real objective, i.e., total banishment of guns. Well, it was only a matter of time before the media began demonstrating this posturing, as is evident in the below Time editorial. Anybody know what time it is??? From: http://cgi.pathfinder.com:80/time/magazine/articles/0,3266,28831-1,00.html Get Rid of the Damned Things BY ROGER ROSENBLATT As terrible as last week's shooting in atlanta was, as terrible as all the gun killings of the past few months have been, one has the almost satisfying feeling that the country is going through the literal death throes of a barbaric era and that mercifully soon, one of these monstrous episodes will be the last. High time. My guess, in fact, is that the hour has come and gone--that the great majority of Americans are saying they favor gun control when they really mean gun banishment. Trigger locks, waiting periods, purchase limitations, which may seem important corrections at the moment, will soon be seen as mere tinkering with a machine that is as good as obsolete. Marshall McLuhan said that by the time one notices a cultural phenomenon, it has already happened. I think the country has long been ready to restrict the use of guns, except for hunting rifles and shotguns, and now I think we're prepared to get rid of the damned things entirely--the handguns, the semis and the automatics. Those who claim otherwise tend to cite America's enduring love affair with guns, but there never was one. The image of shoot-'em-up America was mainly the invention of gunmaker Samuel Colt, who managed to convince a malleable 19th century public that no household was complete without a firearm--"an armed society is a peaceful society." This ludicrous aphorism, says historian Michael Bellesiles of Emory University, turned 200 years of Western tradition on its ear. Until 1850, fewer than 10% of U.S. citizens had guns. Only 15% of violent deaths between 1800 and 1845 were caused by guns. Reputedly wide-open Western towns, such as Dodge City and Tombstone, had strict gun-control laws; guns were confiscated at the Dodge City limits. If the myth of a gun-loving America is merely the product of gun salesmen, dime-store novels, movies and the National Rifle Association (NRA)--which, incidentally, was not opposed to gun control until the 1960s, when gun buying sharply increased--it would seem that creating a gun-free society would be fairly easy. But the culture itself has retarded such progress by creating and embellishing an absurd though appealing connection among guns, personal power, freedom and beauty. The old western novels established a cowboy corollary to the Declaration of Independence by depicting the cowboy as a moral loner who preserves the peace and his own honor by shooting faster and surer than the competition. The old gangster movies gave us opposite versions of the same character. Little Caesar is simply an illegal Lone Ranger, with the added element of success in the free market. In more recent movies, guns are displayed as art objects, people die in balletic slow motion, and right prevails if you own "the most powerful handgun in the world." I doubt that any of this nonsense causes violence, but after decades of repetition, it does invoke boredom. And while I can't prove it, I would bet that gun-violence entertainment will soon pass too, because people have had too much of it and because it is patently false. Before one celebrates the prospect of disarmament, it should be acknowledged that gun control is one of those issues that are simultaneously both simpler and more complicated than it appears. Advocates usually point to Britain, Australia and Japan as their models, where guns are restricted and crime is reduced. They do not point to Switzerland, where there is a gun in every home and crime is practically nonexistent. Nor do they cite as sources criminology professor Gary Kleck of Florida State University, whose studies have shown that gun ownership reduces crime when gun owners defend themselves, or Professor John R. Lott Jr. of the University of Chicago Law School, whose research has indicated that gun regulation actually encourages crime. The constitutional questions raised by gun control are serious as well. In a way, the anti-gun movement mirrors the humanitarian movement in international politics. Bosnia, Kosovo and Rwanda have suggested that the West, the U.S. in particular, is heading toward a politics of human rights that supersedes the politics of established frontiers and, in some cases, laws. Substitute private property for frontiers and the Second Amendment for laws, and one begins to see that the politics of humanitarianism requires a trade-off involving the essential underpinnings of American life. To tell Americans what they can or cannot own and do in their homes is always a tricky business. As for the Second Amend
[CTRL] Y2K and the FEMA Nightmare
-Caveat Lector- from http://www.heartsongs.org/FEMA.htm FEMA: THE SECRET GOVERNMENT by Harry V. Martin, with research assistance from David Caul Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body; it does not involve itself in public disclosures; and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress. It has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial. It can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution. Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. No, it is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency; they are subject to Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emrgency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations. FEMA had one original concept when it was created -- to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also provided with the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Its awesome powers grew under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas. Though it may be the most powerful organization in the United States, many people don't know it even exists. But it has crept into our private lives. Even mortgage papers contain FEMA's name in small print if the property in question is near a flood plain. FEMA was deeply involved in the Los Angeles riots and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United States, but mainly in the West (California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado), are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents. In the West, it works in conjunction with the Sixth Army. FEMA was created in a series of Executive Orders. A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is bypassed. Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic. Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body to consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division, stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate: The National Security Act of 1947, which allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities; the 1950 Defense Production Act, which gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy; the Act of August 29, 1916, which authorizes the Sec

-Caveat Lector- Back in April, the Justice Department declined to prosecute former CIA Director John Deutch for keeping secret files on his unsecured personal computer at home after he was no longer CIA Director. He was just reckless, not criminal. In fact, Mr. Deutch was found to have 3l secret files in the unsecured personal computer in his home. After a full year of investigation, it was decided no prosecution was necessary. Good for Mr. Deutch. No problem. Now let's take a look at a really serious problem. That's when a guy moves a file from the secure computer to his desk computer to work on it. He doesn't take it home, but he follows a practice that has been going on in his organization for donkeys' years. Now this guy should be hung from a lamp post. You can see he is oriental.

[CTRL] Mt Weather -- FEMA's Y2K "Bunker" ?
-Caveat Lector- "In 1975, Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) charged that Mount Weather held dossiers on 100,000 or more Americans. A sophisticated computer system gives the installation access to detailed information on the lives of virtually every American citizen, Tunney claimed. "Mount Weather personnel stonewalled question after question in two Senate hearings. "I don't understand what they're trying to hide out there," said Douglas Lea, staff director of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights. "Mount Weather remains closed to us." "Tunney complained, 'Mount Weather is out of control.' " MOUNT WEATHER: FALLOUT SHELTER OF THE RULING CLASS In the best-selling 1962 spy thriller SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, the Joint Chiefs of Staff plot to overthrow the U.S. president. Their conspiracy centers on a place called Mount Thunder, a secret subterranean command post where government leaders would go in the event of a nuclear attack. On December 1, 1974, a TWA Boeing 727 jet crashed into a fog-shrouded mountain in northern Virginia and burned, killing all 92 persons aboard. Near the wreckage was a fenced government reserve identified as Mount Weather. Mount Weather is a real place; eighty-five acres located forty-five miles west of Washington and 1,725 feet above sea level, near the town of Bluemont, Virginia. In the event of all- out war, an elite of civilian and military leaders are to be taken to Mount Weather's cavernous underground shelter to become the nucleus of a postwar American society. The government has a secret list of those persons it plans to save. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) runs Mount Weather. When it has to talk about the place, which is rare, it calls it the "special facility." Its more common name comes from a weather station that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had maintained on the mountain. The authors of SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II, were Washington journalists who learned a lot about the then-quite-secret post. Few readers of Knebel and Bailey's fiction could have imagined how close to the truth it was. The novel gives detailed highway directions from Washington: "... the Chrysler wheeled onto Route 50, heading away from Washington ... In the jungle of neon lights and access roads at Seven Corners, Corwin saw Scott bear right onto Route 7, the main road to Leesburg. The two cars moved slowly through Falls Church before the traffic began to thin out and speed up At the fork west of Leesburg, Scott bore right on Route 9, heading toward Charles Town They began to climb toward the Blue Ridge, the eastern rim of the Shenandoah Valley West of Hillboro, where the road crossed the Blue Ridge before dropping into the valley Scott turned left. Corwin followed him onto a black macadam road that ran straight along the spine of the ridge. "...Because of his White House job, Corwin knew something about this road that few other Americans did. Virginia 120 appeared to be nothing more than a better-than-average Blue Ridge byway, but it ran past Mount Thunder, where an underground installation provided one of the several bases from which the President could run the nation in the event of a nuclear attack on Washington." Knebel and Bailey disguised the directions slightly. You continue on Route 7 west of Leesburg, turning left on Route 601 just west of Bluemont. It's Virginia Route 601 that runs right up to the gates of Mount Weather. Residents have long known there is something funny about that road; it is always the first road cleared after a snowstorm. At one point, the government asked the local paper not to print any articles about the facility. But it is all but impossible to keep such a place secret. The Appalachian Trail runs right by Mount Weather, and hikers can get close enough to see signs and flashing lights. One sign reads: "All persons and vehicles entering hereon are liable to search. Potographing, making notes, drawings, maps or graphic representations of this area or its activities are prohibited." In the late 1960s an unidentified hippie is supposed to have stumbled upon the facility and sketched it from a tree. His drawing turned up in the QUICKSILVER TIMES, an underground newspaper in Washington. Residents also tell of the time a hunt club chased a fox onto the site and triggered an alarm. The club had to go to the main gate to get the dogs back. After the TWA crash, a spokesman "politely declined to comment on what Mt. Weather was used for, how many people work there, or how long it has been in its current use," the WASHINGTON POST reported. The POST published a picture of the facility, citing far-fetched speculation that Mount Weather's radio antennas may have interfered with the jet's radar and caused the disaster. You don't get into Mount Weather without an invitation. The entrance is said to be like the door
[CTRL] EX-IM BANK NOD TIED TO JOHN HUANG--Investor's Business Daily (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- NATIONAL ISSUE EX-IM BANK NOD TIED TO JOHN HUANG Weaver's Contacts With Fund-Raiser Questioned Date: 8/4/99 Author: Paul Sperry President Clinton's appointee to a critical seat on the board of the Export-Import Bank has close ties to a crooked fund-raiser linked to China. China is Ex-Im Bank's second-largest customer. During the Clinton years, the bank has given more than $5.5 billion in loans to China to help it buy U.S. technology and equipment for power plants and other projects. The loans were OK'd despite proof that China sold nuclear-related equipment to Pakistan and other countries that worry U.S. security experts. The White House hopes the Senate will quickly confirm D. Vanessa Weaver to fill one of three vacant seats on Ex-Im's five-member board. The lack of quorum is holding up $2.3 billion in loans. As a Clinton aide, Weaver often was in touch with Democratic Party fund- raiser Jian-Nan ''John'' Huang when he worked at the Commerce Department. In May, Huang agreed to plead guilty to a fund-raising felony charge in exchange for his help in an ongoing Justice Department probe of 1996 campaign finance fraud. He has yet to enter a guilty plea. Weaver and Huang exchanged at least 26 phone calls over a 17-month period in 1994 and 1995, records show. Weaver also reached out to Huang in October 1996 when he hid from U.S. marshals for a week to avoid testifying in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch Inc. The public-interest law firm claims that Huang was involved in an illegal scheme at Commerce to sell seats on trade trips for Democratic donations. ''She (Weaver) called my wife in California,'' Huang testified after authorities finally caught up with him. ''As a courtesy, I returned her call to her home.'' Huang explained that Weaver and he are just ''good friends.'' Asked about her again in another Judicial Watch deposition in April, Huang took the Fifth. Weaver, deputy White House director of presidential personnel, declined repeated requests for an interview. The Senate Banking Committee canceled a Friday hearing on Weaver and other appointees. It hasn't reset a date. The Senate breaks for a month starting next week. Chairman Phil Gramm, R-Texas, isn't likely to quiz Weaver, a former computer consultant, about her ties to Huang. ''I don't expect it to be anything that Sen. Gramm brings up,'' spokeswoman Christi Harlan said. Ignoring the issue would be a mistake, one Hill investigator says. ''We're going to reward someone who's all over John Huang's call-back slips,'' he said. The connection doesn't stop there, he says. As often as three times a week, Huang would leave his Commerce office carrying a folder or briefcase and walk across the street to the Willard Hotel. There he'd visit the Washington office of Stephens Inc., an Arkansas-based brokerage. Weaver's father, Vernon Weaver, headed the branch. A fellow Arkansan, he and Clinton go back more than 20 years. The elder Weaver let Huang use an empty Stephens office to pick up overnight packages, make phone calls and fax documents. His secretary, Paula Greene, testified before the Senate in 1997 that Weaver gave her strict orders to hide the setup. For instance, she says Weaver told her not to leave detailed phone messages for Huang when she called to alert him to a package or fax. Phone records show Vernon Weaver made at least 27 calls to Huang from July 1994 to November 1995. Over that same period, Vanessa Weaver made at least 23 calls to Huang - two on the same day as her father. The congressional investigator, who wished to go unnamed, suspects Vanessa Weaver was a White House ''go- between'' for her father and Huang. Her White House office is just across 15th St. from the Willard Hotel and the Commerce building. Records show that at least 16 faxes sent in 1994 and 1995 from the Stephens office went to Lippo Group units in Jakarta, Indonesia; Hong Kong; and Los Angeles. Huang worked for the foreign conglomerate before joining Commerce. Lippo has partnered with Stephens on deals for more than a decade. The government official appeared to still be conducting business with his old firm - a possible breach of federal conflict rules. But there's a more troubling aspect to his Willard activities. Several months before Huang joined Commerce, China Resources Holding Co., a front for Chinese military intelligence, bought a large stake in a Lippo unit called Hongkong Chinese Bank. That made Lippo equal partners with Beijing's communist regime. ''Huang himself may possibly have had a direct financial relationship with the (Chinese) government,'' said the final report of the so-called Thompson committee, headed by Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., which probed foreign fund-raising in the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign. The CIA briefed China- born Huang (who got a security clearance without a full background check) at least 37 times at Commerce. He got hundreds of classified documents on topics such as U.S.-China techno
[CTRL] Clinton's Energy Scandal (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/19990803_xcsof_clintons_e.shtml While Americans suffer through another hot summer, power companies are struggling to keep up with the demand for electricity. Brown outs, cut backs and major rate hikes are expected all across America as power demands reach an all time high. However, across the Pacific, Indonesians are struggling to pay American power producers for electricity that is not needed, and which they cannot afford. According to newly released documents from the U.S. Commerce Dept., 26 U.S. sponsored electric power projects are on the block because the Indonesian state power company, PLN, is bankrupt. The crown jewel of electricity projects in Indonesia is the huge Mission Energy/GE PAITON coal-fired electric plant in East Java. In 1994, Mission Energy, part of the California Edison power consortium, put great faith in the Clinton administration and Ron Brown to reach Indonesian dictator Suharto. Mission CEO John Bryson even wrote Brown, thanking him for the overwhelming efforts from 1994 through 1995 to get the Indonesians to buy their Paiton bid. Paiton was billed as the first "private" electric plant in Indonesia. However, "private" ownership in Indonesia means owned and operated by the Suharto "First Family". The Indonesian company that owns, operates and fuels the Paiton plant under a 30 year, no cut, contract is PT Batu Hitam Perkasa, owned by Suharto's daughter, Titek Prabowo and her brother-in-law, Hashim Djojohadikusumo. According to the Commerce Dept., ".75%" of the Paiton project was reserved for Suharto's daughter Prabowo. Prabowo's cut amounted to an instant $15 million. Her kick-back, along with a cut for "brother-in-law" Hashim and various other Suharto relatives, was provided up front, in cash, in the form of a $50 million loan. The $50 million loan was to be paid back by the profits (dividends) returned from the $2.6 billion Paiton project. Since there are no profits, there is no pay back. According to the 1994 Commerce Dept. documents, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was "skiddish" about providing a $50 million bribe to the Suharto family from the U.S. taxpayers. The reluctance to participate in an illegal pay-off, led GE and Mission Energy to seek Clinton help. "Although the ADB financing is only $50 million, GE views the ADB component to be important because it has a long-term interest in having a multinational bank support the project. Furthermore, if ADB rejected financing, EXIM and the commercial banks involved in the deal would ask questions." Obviously asking questions would not be good for any project with a built in $50 million kick-back for the local dictator. In 1999, the entire $2.6 billion dollar project is on the brink of failure. The corrupt deals with the former dictator of Indonesia are collapsing faster than the Indonesian economy. The good citizens of Indonesia have learned of the "First Family" take-over of their national resources and they do not approve. PLN electric officials, fearing for their lives, are pointing fingers at Suharto. Ex-PLN President Djteng Marsudi has repeatedly stated he was forced to sign unfairly priced contracts, including Paiton. In August 1998, the Indonesian melt-down caused Mission Energy to panic and again seek aid from the Clinton administration. The newly released documents include a briefing of current Secretary of Commerce William Daley for a meeting with Mission Energy CEO Edward Muller. "Mr. Muller will raise his concerns about developments in Asia in general and about the Paiton project in particular. He will probably attempt to enlist your support for the Paiton project. Given competing interest by other U.S. firms, we cannot commit to this particular project." Translation: Ron Brown is long dead and Bill Clinton is not anxious to cuddle up to the Suharto family for fear of raising questions about donations from Indonesian billionaire Moctar Riady. "Ex-Im (Export Import Bank) is the guarantor for $540 million in the pre-completion phase. OPIC is the senior lender (provides guarantees for banks to lend) and insurance provider for the post-completion phase ($200 million). (Mission did not take out political risk insurance from OPIC or Ex-Im.)" Translation: Mission Energy's mistake in not seeking the "political" insurance was a calculated risk that will cost stock-holders and customers. Corporate losses overseas will have to be made up with lower profits at home and higher rates for CalEdison customers. In fact, according to the Commerce Dept., there are U.S. companies with contracts inside Indonesia who have an interest in the failure of the Paiton power plant: "Both Ex-Im and OPIC confirmed that if the 1200 MW Paiton project were to go on line, it would most likely wipe out any further GOI (Government of Indonesia) need for other power plants. Thus, several other major
[CTRL] Clinton coverup of laser attack - Lt Jack Daly on radio (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: Lt Jack Daly's new web site: www.ltjackdaly.com US Navy Lt Jack Daly - a newsmaking interview with active duty US Navy officer Teusday on the Jerry Hughes radio show Lt Daly's incident is reported in Chapter 2 of Bill Gertz's book, Betrayal. ___ "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men." by Ella Wheeler Wilcox The White House, Department of State, Department of Defense (DOD) and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) have orchestrated a cover-up of an Act of War in U.S. waters in which a U.S. Naval Intelligence officer and a Canadian Air Force pilot were permanently wounded. As a result our National Security has been compromised, and it continues to be on an almost daily basis, with impunity. Yet once again the Clinton Administration chose to hide the truth, this time because the perpetrators were Russian and the "Cold War" is over. I know for a fact that this is not entirely true, and I literally have the scars from this hostile act committed in U.S. waters to prove it. I firmly believe that our National Security is in jeopardy as a result. Considering the magnitude of this incident one would have to be incapable of logical thought to conclude that the final decision wasn't made by the President himself. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to those who have faithfully served in the military of their country, that a man who failed to heed the call himself, who is now called the "Commander-in-Chief," would hesitate to abandon one of his own men. My name is Lieutenant Jack Daly. I am an active duty regular U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer who, prior to my transfer to San Diego last year, was stationed at the Canadian Pacific Maritime Forces Command Base, Esquimalt, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. My intelligence liaison assignment with the Canadian Armed Forces was under the auspices of the Chief of Naval Operations/Intelligence Directorate (CNO/N2) Foreign Intelligence Liaison Officer (FILO) program, managed by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). I was wounded along with a Canadian Air Force pilot, Capt. Patrick Barnes, aboard a Canadian helicopter on 4 April, 1997, when we were lased (shot/targeted) with a laser by the Russians while on an ONI tasked surveillance flight over the Russian merchant ship Kapitan Man just five nautical miles north of Port Angeles, WA in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. As result of this surveillance, both Captain Barnes and I suffered irreparable eye injuries resulting in permanent retinal damage. Captain Barnes has been permanently grounded from this incident and has lost all flight qualifications. He will never fly again. Both of us suffer constant agonizing pain in our eyes and our vision continues to worsen from this incident with little expected relief as there is no known effective medical treatment. Pentagon spokesman, Ken Bacon, reported on 26 June 1997, that our injuries were healed. This is absolutely false! Capt. Barnes and I were victims of a an act of war, or an act of terrorism and at a minimum a crime. The use of lasers to ward off surveillance is a violation of the "Certain Conventional Weapons Convention, Protocol - IV." The intelligence community has evidence that this vessel and others like her are associated with the Russian military. Therefore, this incident can be considered an act of war. Since it has affected the policies of two nations (Canada and the U.S.), by definition it could be considered a terrorist act. Under current federal law it is a felony to point lasers at aircraft. It is entirely possible that someone onboard the Kapitan Man was using a laser designed to record the acoustic signature of the propeller on the USS Ohio, which was outbound on the surface at the time. When we over-flew the KAPITAN MAN it was turned on us knowing that it would cause harm. This was the tactic that the Russians had used numerous times in the past. These claims are not without substantiation and there is documentation to support the events as they have transpired. The recent release of BETRAYAL How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security, by Bill Gertz of the Washington Times, reveals the secret decisions made by White House and State Department officials, that allowed the Russian crew of the KAPITAN MAN to get away with committing a hostile act in U.S. waters. This website provides further evidence revealing how CAPT Barnes and I were betrayed in the process by the Clinton Administration. = Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day.

They're obviously dead, but they go on and empty the further five bullets into their body," Butler said in an Associated Press Television News interview. France, China and Russia - Iraq's closest allies on the Security Council - knew that tiny samples of VX and other chemical agents in the laboratory were used to test Iraqi material and that the quantities were so minuscule they posed no danger, he said. "Sadly, I think what was going on was their attempt to absolutely, finally kill UNSCOM," he said. "They wanted ... to demonstrate that UNSCOM was an evil organization that misled the council." In an article in the debut issue of Talk magazine and the subsequent APTN interview, Butler spoke out for the first time since he stepped down as UNSCOM's executive director on June 30. He delivered the same message in both interviews: UNSCOM told the truth and was destroyed by Iraq's Security Council allies, especially Russia, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's "misguided decisions," and former weapons inspector Scott Ritter's false allegations that the CIA was somehow directing the organization's activities. The result, he said, is that there have been no arms inspections in Iraq for 12 months and the country could be trying to make nuclear, biological and chemical weapons again because Saddam Hussein is "addicted" to weapons of mass destruction. Butler used the VX controversy to illustrate how he believes Iraq's council allies and the secretary-general tried to finally destroy UNSCOM. The VX test samples and other chemical warfare agents were left in the laboratory when Butler ordered UNSCOM inspectors to leave Baghdad in mid-December on the eve of U.S. and British airstrikes. Iraq has banned UNSCOM from returning. Even though France, China and Russia knew the test standards were harmless, he said they urged the Security Council to have the samples analyzed, intimating that UNSCOM inspectors may have laced Iraqi warheads with the agent. Butler said Annan and his senior staff participated in the "falsehood" that the VX was deadly - and agreed to Iraq's demand that UNSCOM experts be banned from the team sent to Baghdad to investigate the laboratory, "which set a terrible precedent for the future." Butler accused the secretary-general of trying to destroy UNSCOM because it was "too independent," and of trying to paper over Iraq's cheating on its disarmament obligations with diplomacy. "You may get a short-term diplomatic solution but the real problem - the weapons - will still be there, and they will come back to bite us in the future," Butler said.
