[CTRL] Will China save face?
-Caveat Lector- © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com World watchers agree: Countries seeking to undermine the will of U.S. foreign policy often make blustery, albeit empty, statements that they "are determined to do XYZ" if the United States does "XYZ" first. It happened all the time during the Cold War, when the U.S. and USSR maneuvered for influence in several parts of the world, often simultaneously. But the predictable nature of those days is over, and the new U.S. nemesis -- China -- is a horse of a different color, no pun intended. Since Taiwan's government unilaterally declared that Taipei and Beijing should be considered by other world leaders as "two different states," the latter has been making loud grumbling noises and suggesting that force may have to be used in order to "bring Taiwan to its senses." According to the most recent analyses of the situation that I've read, I believe the confidence the U.S. is exuding in its belief that Beijing will not directly attack Taiwan in some manner is false bravado. China may have no choice. After all, China's leaders thrive on the perception that they are ultimately in control of China's destiny. If that notion is ever destroyed, it's lights out for the communist regime. Having said that, I do agree that mounting a full-fledged, D-Day-like invasion of Taiwan by naval elements of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is, by all estimates, beyond China's technical capabilities. Everybody knows that -- the U.S., China and Taiwan. But there clearly are a number of other options left to the Chinese that can be used; the question remains, will China choose to use them and if so, will the U.S. be forced into a confrontation with China? It is ominous that China has already begun mobilizing a huge force of some 500,000 soldiers -- mostly reservists and former soldiers -- in their Fujian province, the province closest to Taiwan. Land, air and sea exercises have begun, and the PLA has even deployed elements of their "Delta Force" -- the Flying Tigers -- to the province as well. And China has the ability to shower Taiwan with ballistic missiles in numbers no one is sure about. Considering the trouble China has internally with Tibet and Muslims in its Xinjiang province; considering China's faltering economic situation; considering China's belief that the Taiwan "declaration" and ensuing U.S. show of force in the region with a pledge to defend Taiwan; and considering China's perception that the U.S. is bent on pulling another Kosovo at Beijing's expense, the PLA indeed may have to be used in order to prove to Chinese citizens that the old men are still in charge and mean what they say. Most Chinese already agree, regardless of other factors, that the best legacy left by Mao Zedong was the fact that he drove all foreigners out of China (except the British and they left Hong Kong per a treaty agreement), allowing the world's most populous nation the sovereignty it always sought. Any move seen to disrupt this solidarity is, in essence, an affront on all Chinese, regardless of whether or not it is true. Under this auspice, I believe, lies the heart of a coming conflict with China over, among other things, Taiwan. But wait, you say -- isn't President Bill Clinton China's "boy?" Isn't he beholden first to Beijing, then to Washington? Perhaps he is, or, rather, was, when he needed their cash to stay in the White House. But those days are over and besides, who's to say China didn't use Clinton (for access to vital U.S. technology) more than Clinton used China? Clinton's hand may very well be forced to order the defense of Taiwan anyway because, as one U.S. official recently put it, America is on "autopilot" regarding its pledge to defend Taipei. Whether China merely assaults a couple of islands controlled by Taiwan, as it has suggested, or tries to block some Taiwanese shipping or lobs missiles at over 200 military targets Beijing has identified on the island over the past several weeks, I believe it is a mistake to think the Chinese government has no vested interest in attacking Taiwan. They have to save face with an increasingly anxious population that cannot be allowed to see any sign of weakness in the leadership. What Beijing's leaders don't know -- and can't know until after the fact -- is what our response will be. Neither country, however, can afford a long, protracted and bloody conflict because there are too many variables -- North Korea, the Middle East, and our own domestic computer problems -- that are more pressing. Even Russia, for what it's worth, is a variable here since they have mutual cooperation agreements with China. For all our intelligence agencies know, China may be counting on/waiting for any one of these other situations to manifest before they make their move. But as sure as you're reading this, I believe they will make that move eventually. Do you agree? I also believe it would be a mistake because in the end, U.S. forces would clean their

Nicky Australians 'hired Nazi scientists after war. By Barbie Dutter in Sydney NAZI scientists, including members of Hitler's SS, were secretly brought to Australia after the Second World War to work on government defence projects, according to a report published yesterday. Their arrival was part of a move by Britain and America to recruit German scientists to prevent Russia gaining a military advantage, said the Sydney Morning Herald. The newspaper quoted previously classified Australian documents. The report says that at least 127 scientists were brought to Australia at a time when Germans were barred from entering the country. Of these, 31 had been Nazi Party members and 12 had belonged to other Nazi groups. Six had been in the SS or storm troopers. The revelations contradict a 1986 report commissioned by Canberra, which said that scientists recruited under the scheme were "rejected if they were considered unacceptable due to their association with the Nazi Party". A 1946 official memo from the Australian Scientific and Technical Mission in London, quoted by the newspaper, said Russia had started recruiting German scientists "irrespective of their political history". It said: "The US and UK are planning to prevent this moving of German scientists and technicians eastwards since it would increase the war potential of Russia." Two of the scientists brought to Australia worked on guided-missile tests at Woomera in the Fifties, 10 worked in defence laboratories, and others assisted a leading science organisation. 21 August 1997: Australia 'dumping ground for Nazis' Australians 'hired Nazi scientists after war' By Barbie Dutter in Sydney Revealed: Australia's welcome to Hitler scientists [16 Aug '99] - Sydney Morning Herald Australia's Nazi imports [16 Aug '99] - Sydney Morning Herald Cover-up suspicion on Nazi scientists [17 Aug '99] - The Age DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Iraq Is Firing New Version of Soviet Missile ... (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Iraq Is Firing New Version of Soviet Missile at U.S. Fliers, Pentagon Says Source: Bloomberg Published: 8/17/99 Author: By Tony Capaccio Washington, Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Iraq is firing a new, extended range version of its standard SA-2 anti-aircraft missile at U.S. and U.K. aircraft patrolling the southern ``no-fly'' zone, the U.S. Defense Department said today. Some SA-2 batteries appear to be firing missiles with slightly longer ranges than the Iraqi guidance radars can cover, Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said today. ``It's something we saw recently,'' Bacon said. ``But it has not been a significant capability to increasing the threat to aircraft.'' The range increase isn't huge, he said. U.S. fliers have countered and destroyed the old Soviet-era missiles consistently since North Vietnam used them three decades ago. Iraq's use of the new variant comes as President Saddam Hussein seeks to bolster his system of air defense missiles and antiaircraft guns against U.S. and U.K. enforcement of ``no-fly'' zones designed to protect Iraq's Shiite and Kurdish minorities. Iraqi air defenses in the southern no-fly zone have lost as much as 25 percent of their capability since the U.S. and U.K. carried out four days of air strikes against Iraq in December and scores of ``no-fly'' zone attacks since January. Iraq fires antiaircraft guns and occasional missiles at U.S. planes, but with Iraqi guidance radars turned off for fear of being hit by anti-radar missiles, Bacon said. ``Clearly, we have scared him to the point where he does not want to turn on his radars,'' Bacon said. U.S. planes are launching Raytheon Co. Harm radar-killing missiles against Iraqi guidance radars. ``Our response to his attacks are slowly, measurably degrading his air defense system and have forced him to keep his head down and adopt what we can only describe as extremely low- risk opposition to patrols in the no-fly zones,'' Bacon said. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, 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. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] High-Tech Radar will NOT track N. Korea Missile (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- High-Tech Radar will NOT track N. Korea Missile Source: The Washington Time Published: August 17, 1999 By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has turned down a U.S. commander's request to use a new missile-defense radar to monitor North Korea's upcoming Taepo Dong missile launch, Pentagon officials said. Gen. Henry H. Shelton, the chairman, decided on Friday to reject an appeal from the commander of the U.S. Space Command in Colorado because of costs and because using the radar now might slow its development. The radar system is known as the Theater High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD. A senior defense official, speaking on the condition that he not be identified by name, said Gen. Shelton's decision was based on his view that the $3 million to $5 million cost of sending the radar to Japan outweighed the benefits. "By and large, you don't get enough benefit to justify the costs," the defense official said. But some military officials said monitoring the Taepo Dong with the powerful THAAD radar, which can track missiles over long distances, would have been an important test against a "real world threat." The monitoring also could have tested the radar's capability of providing early warning of a missile launch against the United States and provided valuable field training for the Army units that will eventually be deployed with the completed THAAD system, the officials said. Critics said the Pentagon bowed to pressure from Clinton administration arms-control officials who opposed sending the radar because it might upset the Russians. A new round of strategic arms talks is set to begin today in Moscow. Separately, a confidant of reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il told CNN yesterday in an interview that his country was prepared to respond in kind to U.S. and South Korean efforts to halt a new missile test. "If the visitor comes and offers us a cake, we'll respond with a cake," said Kim Yong-sun, secretary of North Korea's Workers Party, in a rare interview. "But if somebody comes with a sword or a knife, we'll respond with a knife," he added. Earlier, the senior official said arms-control issues were a factor in deciding whether to send the THAAD radar to Japan for tests against North Korea's second test of a long-range missile. U.S. intelligence agencies are closely monitoring a missile site on North Korea's east coast where the test is anticipated. Ships, spy satellites and aircraft are monitoring the test area, officials said. The senior official said in an interview that possible violations of U.S.-Russian arms accords were not taken into account by Gen. Shelton, even though a special treaty "compliance review group" discussed the matter during a meeting at the Pentagon Friday. Other officials said the decision not to test the radar against a real-world missile threat is a sign of the Clinton administration's bias against missile defenses. Gen. Richard Myers, commander of the U.S. Space Command, made the initial request to send one of the two THAAD radars currently based in the United States to Japan to monitor the test. The request was backed by the Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the U.S. Pacific Command and the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command. The defense official said the compliance-review group "never made a decision" on whether sending the radar was allowed under U.S.-Russian treaties. The cost and other factors were the critical considerations for Gen. Shelton, he said. Other officials said it was unusual for Gen. Shelton to reject the commander's request and was based more on political sensitivities toward Russia than on costs or operational worries. "It is pathetic that Gen. Shelton's first impulse is to wring his hands over some convoluted -- and unfounded -- arms-control concern, instead of embracing this innovative proposal that can do nothing but enhance the nation's security," said one official angered by the decision. "This administration has enough political hacks willing to sacrifice national security to their political concerns," this official said. "Someone needs to be an advocate for our security interests. It's clear that Gen. Shelton is not up to that task." U.S. and Russian arms specialists will hold their first round of meetings today in Moscow to discuss new strategic arms reductions and changes to the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. President Clinton signed legislation in July that says it is U.S. policy to deploy a national missile defense as soon as "technologically possible." The president said in a statement that the law does not bind him to deploy a system unless arms-control considerations are first taken into account. Mr. Clinton has said the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty is "the cornerstone" of strategic relations with Russia. The treaty prohibits deployment of nationwide missile defenses and limits signatories to a single site. Russia has

[CTRL] Fwd: ATT/Hughes/CIA/China
The 8-17-99 article in Salon by Mark Gimein may represent the weakest reasoning yet for the patently absurd arguments in defense of ATT, as it attempt to remove competitors in the cable modem business. Mr. Gimein argues that if local regulators are allowed to restrict ATT's demand to have an monopoly, it will supposedly open the door for local regulations to restrict other things. The examples he then gives are a prosecutor in Tennessee seeking to sanction a pornographer in California, the U.S. government blocking the Web site of a casino in Antigua and China trying to shut down a pro-Taiwan Web site in New York. The comparison has no legitimacy whatsoever. A Tennessee prosecutor attacking a California pornographer, the US blocking an Antigua casino and China battling a New York website are all cases in which jurisdiction is the defining issue. In all three cases listed, the governmental body does not have its opponent within its domain, so its power to regulate simply doesn't exist. ATT, having obtained an exclusive contract with the local government agencies (such as Portland) trying to regulate ATT's never agreed upon usage of cable lines, is most certainly under the jurisdiction of these local governments. Mr. Gimein then tries to bring up the boogeyman of content suppression, indicating that allowing local governments the right to regulate business contracts opens up the door to restricting certain web pages through its service. This again is a frivolous argument. Restricting web pages is an issue of Constitutional First Amendment rights, issues not even remotely involved with in the ATT battle, despite the company's whine. Once again, ATT has contracted to provide services to local governments, and so this is an issue involving contractual rights, not Constitutional rights. Last time I checked, ATT did not have a Constitutional freedom to screw customers on a whim via sweetheart business deals. In fact, Mr. Gimein misses the reverse dangers of giving ATT a free reign over Internet access: that they may regulate access to the net for its own benefit. It is quite possible that ATT may restrict the access of web pages critical to its business dealings or those high up in its corporate structure. Should local governments allow them to do this blindly? This is not a frivolous issue. The current CEO of ATT is C. Michael Armstrong. Previously, Mr. Armstrong was the head of Hughes Electronics, and during his tenure there, he became so involved with trade issues involving China, the lax security of Hughes, and the backing of Clinton's presidential campaign that there are many who believe he is legally complicit in the Chinese spy scandal, and some who argue that he is guilty of treason. This certainly can be debated, but when the same individual controls cable internet access to 60% of the country, such debate can be effectively silenced. All this leads to a better explanation for the FCC's blind defense of ATT than anything Mr. Gimein presented in the article. Armstrong, having financed Clinton's presidential ambitions and being a serious partner in one of his worst scandals, is owed a big favor by the Commander-In-Chief. The chips are being called in, so the FCC is backing ATT's absurd defense as payback. Of course, Salon, being a generally glib and lightweight news service, may smirk at such talk as conspiracy theory, as part of its general style to replace thoughtful analysis with smarmy fluff. And perhaps such an explanation is a false conspiracy theory. However, even if this is the case, at least it has some remote chance of being legitimate, rather than the poorly reasoned arguments Mr. Gimein has put out in defense for ATT. Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Local regulators and the Net ATT's battle against open access to its cable system is about Internet infrastructure. What if it were about Internet content? - - - - - - - - - - - - By Mark Gimein August 17, 1999 | If you have been following the debate over open access to ATT's recently acquired cable systems, you'll know that some district courts have sided with cities like Portland, Ore., which has demanded that ATT allow competing Internet access providers to use its cable system. On Monday the Federal Communications Commission filed a "friend of the court" brief opposing the Oregon ruling. On Tuesday, Excite@Home, the high-speed Net service provider, will follow suit with a brief of its own, asking the court to overturn its decision. "Allowing 30,000 local governments to impose a raft of new, burdensome rules will significantly delay the development and deployment of high-speed Internet services," says an Excite@Home news release about its brief. When federal bureaucrats and big business lobbyists are on the same side, my natural tendency is to look for a fly in the ointment. In this case, however, the feds and big business have a point.

[CTRL] AMERICAN NAZIS (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- COMMENTARY Voice of the people (letter) AMERICAN NAZIS Irving Louis Horowitz, Hannah Arendt Distinguished Professor of Sociology Political Science, Rutgers University 08/17/1999 Chicago Tribune Page 12 The constant theme struck by President Clinton is the danger to Americans of guns. But this theme disguises a far more serious issue: the continuing existence of Nazi theory and practice in the form of the American Aryan Nations. Clinton washes out the ideological core of Nazism by speaking of the shooting of two Jewish women and three small Jewish children in a Los Angeles-area Jewish community center as "another senseless act." He claims simply that "our nation has been shaken and our hearts torn by an act of gun violence." Granada Hills is not Columbine High School, where such sentiments may have been well placed. This is the work of a known American Nazi, with a history of violence. Buford Furrow's attempted mass murders were, in his own words, aimed as a "wake-up call to America to kill Jews." This is not the act of a stock day trader frustrated with fiscal losses, or a high school student embarrassed and humiliated by fellow students. This is the act of a dedicated, determined genocidist for whom the attempted murder of children and older women is the fulfillment of a Hitlerian dream to purge America and the world of Jewish people. To shift the burden of this hideous concrete political act into an abstract pathological act is to deprive the new pattern of violence against Jewish people and its religious-cultural institutions of just such specificity, and hence of its meaning. Indeed Nazis in America are hardly limited in their capacity to access weapons of destruction. Should the forces of law and public order fail to protect the innocent and punish the guilty, Jews would be within their rights to take up arms in their own self-defense. It may only be the deeply held Jewish faith in the inviolability of law and public order that inhibits them from taking such measures. This trained myopia within our political establishment to speak frankly about the scourge of anti-Semitism has its roots in the belief that government will uniformly behave within the legal framework of power. But the Holocaust is an example of the state as itself the essential source of illegality. Before we join the chorus supporting Clinton in extending gun control, we would be well-advised to insist that some recognition be taken of the Nazi ideology and nativist roots of Jew hatred. Until then, the right to bear arms should not be easily denigrated or, for that matter, arbitrarily denied. For Jews, such a right may turn out to be a power correlate of the post-Nazi moral imperative: never again. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, 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. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The thing about wars ... (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Not for Commercial Use Charley Reese : The thing about wars is that they always leave such a mess http://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/columnists/reese/081799_reese17_21.htm Published: 08/16/1999 Author: Charley Reese The North Atlantic Treaty Organization stated that it dropped 1,500 cluster bombs on Kosovo. It has belatedly admitted it used depleted uranium shells. And, between the Serbs and the Albanians, there are left lying around some 500,000 mines. The cluster bomb releases 150 to 200 bomblets. People on the ground, according to the New York Times, say about 30 percent failed to detonate and now represent an additional hazard to civilians and to the people who have to clean them up. The World Health Organization said that, between June 13 and July 12, 130 to 170 people have been wounded or killed by leftover bomblets and mines. By now, more probably have been killed or injured, and certainly more people will be in the future. Wars, even small ones, always leave such a mess: dead people, embittered people, maimed people, impoverished people, toxic contaminants and unexploded ordnance. But, on the other hand, some people can make money, provided that the war stays non-nuclear. Contracts -- contracts to do cleanups, contracts to do construction projects, contracts to supply this or that -- get handed out. And, naturally, all of the used ordnance has to be replaced. It's funny how the more I've learned about the old world, the less enthusiastic I've become for any war. It seems to me the only really just war is a purely defensive one, and even just wars are bad experiences. Most of the wars are about territory and power. It seems most of them are real scams, too, because a small elite gets the economic and political benefits while the poor and middle-income folks do the fighting and suffering and dying. If I weren't Celtic and ill-tempered, I'd probably be a pacifist. You might think that it's a contradiction to be for a strong military and against war, but the best way to avoid a war is to be so strong that all your potential opponents will decide that discretion is the better part of valor. Of course, once you have a strong military, then you need to make sure you have wise and moral civilians in control of it. Otherwise, the civilians will abuse it by using it for nondefensive reasons, as our current leader is doing. It's too bad international conflicts can't be resolved by cutting for high card or by at least having the heads of state decide the matter in a duel. It has been a long, long time since any head of state actually did any fighting. Still, it's fun to think of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton locked in a dark room with only one sharp knife on a table in the middle of it. Please don't think me a cynic. I prefer to call my low expectations for the human race and new millennium "realism." Seems to me humans are remarkably unchanged for the past several millennia, once you discount the gadgets. Worse for me, who has always been a staunch Jeffersonian, I'm beginning to think that Alexander Hamilton was right. He thought people were not competent to govern themselves. Hamilton's error, of course, was not to realize that the elitists were not competent to govern either. That's the best argument for laissez faire -- the smallest, weakest government possible. Start with the proposition that even the smallest, weakest government will be badly run, and then you see the folly of giving bad managers even more power. An increase in power is an increase in the power to do evil as well as to do good. Given the nature of human beings, evil is the safer bet. Most Americans, though, seem to believe that they are living in the best of all possible worlds. Well, it's certainly better than Yugoslavia and Iraq, both of which our best of all possible leaders have turned into toxic wastelands. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, 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. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] More Disinformation Re: atomic bomb ... fluoride ?!
-Caveat Lector- The correct amount of fluoride for a human to consume is obviously ZERO. Fluoride is an active ingredient of rat poison, and has been shown to cause neurological damage in humans. Federal EPA (Environmental Pollution Agency) is well aware of this. Promoting the use of fluoride on humans and concealing this information is therefore criminal. Criminal. What is the legal term for someone who can be presumed to have knowledge of such criminal activity (by a public chain of email correspondence which FIRMLY shows expert testimony to the poisonous and health-damaging nature of fluoride) and who promotes such criminal activity? Accessory? Accomplice? I think that we should make effort to bring a class-action suit against targeted municipalities, and the ADA, then perhaps extend the action to any other agency which can be shown to be criminally negligent (if not worse) in placing this poison in municipal drinking water supplies.

[CTRL] Conflicts Hindering WTO Efforts
-Caveat Lector- Subj: Conflicts Hindering WTO Efforts Date: 8/17/99 11:09:34 PM Central Daylight Time From: AOL News BCC:Ahab42 Conflicts Hindering WTO Efforts .c The Associated Press By NAOMI KOPPEL GENEVA (AP) - Trade negotiators are preparing to launch new efforts to steer the global economy into the new millennium. But as the countdown to the launch begins, they can't even agree on a name for the talks, let alone what they should cover. The 134-nation World Trade Organization has spent the past year discussing the agenda for a ministerial meeting in Seattle beginning Nov. 30. The meeting should kickstart negotiations aimed at rolling back barriers to exports and thus - in theory - boosting international prosperity. But so far there have been few results. And when WTO diplomats return from their leisurely summer break, the tough task of whittling down more than 80 proposals into a feasible work schedule will begin in earnest. Mike Moore, New Zealand's former premier who takes up his post as WTO director-general Sept. 1, is under no illusions about the enormity of the task. ``This is the 1990s and there are new issues which have exploded which we have never thought of,'' he said. In the previous round of trade talks, nobody knew about electronic commerce, ``but now business in the Internet is doubling every hundred days,'' he said. ``Six months ago none of us really thought about genetically modified foods. These are the major issues,'' added Moore. Several thousand people are expected in Seattle for the conference, the WTO's third since it was set up in 1995. The four-day session is shaping up as a showdown between competing regional and economic interests. The joke that the negotiators will be ``sleepless in Seattle'' has been told hundreds of times already. Under the agreements reached in the last trade talks, known as the Uruguay Round, the WTO is committed to making a new effort in the year 2000 to open trade in services and agriculture. But there is nothing to stop the Seattle conference from taking on other areas as well. Developing countries including Pakistan and Mexico are insisting that the meeting should focus on compliance with the Uruguay Round accords rather than tackling new areas. In particular, they accuse industrialized countries of violating promises to import more textiles and clothing. The European Union, on the other hand, wants to see talks across the full spectrum of international trade. Critics say this is merely a ruse to deflect attention from agriculture, where the EU's protectionist policies are expected to come under threat. The United States wants to discuss labor standards. ``As President Clinton has stated, the development of the trading system must come together with efforts to ensure respect for these standards, and its results must include benefits for working people in all nations,'' U.S. Deputy Trade Representative Susan Esserman told a recent meeting of the WTO general council. That is anathema to the developing nations, who do not believe labor standards should be part of international trade agreements. They feel it is a form of protectionism, aimed at making poorer countries less competitive. The United States is also resisting any suggestion that antidumping regulations should be included. Washington has used its regulations, which allow higher tariffs for U.S. industries threatened by imports, to provide relief for domestic steelmakers in the wake of the Asian currency crisis, provoking angry opposition from countries such as Japan. In addition to the looming rows between governments, the WTO also has to come to grips with other pressures. Nongovernmental organizations are pressing their case for a bigger say in the organization's policymaking, and thousands of anti-WTO campaigners are also planning to descend on Seattle. And if that's not enough, negotiators will have to face the tricky problem of what to call the new trade round. There have been vague suggestions that it should be the ``Clinton Round,'' but these aren't taken too seriously. There is more acceptance of the idea of a ``Millennium Round.'' This has alarmed the Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle, which has launched a campaign to make sure the official name is the ``Seattle Round.''

[CTRL] Reaganbush Redivivus -- George Jr's NWO Brain Trust
-Caveat Lector- "Bush's policy team, now numbering more than 100 conservative thinkers, can trace its creation to a small April 1998 gathering at the Palo Alto, Calif., home of former Secretary of State [and Bohemian Grove notable] George Shultz. "Shultz assembled fellows from Stanford University's Hoover Institution ...Bush is leaning heavily on the Hoover think tank. Shultz, a Hoover distinguished fellow, was on Bush's presidential exploratory committee ... Hoover fellow Condoleeza Rice, national security adviser to President Bush, heads a foreign policy and defense team that includes Dick Cheney, a former White House chief of staff and defense secretary, and Paul Wolfowitz, President Bush's undersecretary of defense for policy. "Leading the economic team is Lawrence Lindsey, a former Federal Reserve governor and American Enterprise Institute scholar ..." Bush Circle of Advisers Diverse By MICHAEL HOLMES .c The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - When Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush needs advice these days, he turns to a circle of political professionals, policy wonks and fellow politicians. Some have been with him from the start. Others have come aboard within the past year. Mixing public, private and academic experience, they generally are more conservative than the team assembled by Bush's father, analysts say. But being the son of a former president certainly helps recruiting. ``For Bush, it's not difficult to pull together a group because, of course, he's been around Republican and conservative intellectual circles for a long time,'' said Norman Ornstein, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ``I think he wants to make a statement that his presidency will be a little bit more like Ronald Reagan's than George Bush's - that he's more conservative,'' Ornstein said. The Pros Closest to Bush are a trio of advisers who have worked together since Bush's first gubernatorial campaign in 1994: strategist Karl Rove, spokeswoman Karen Hughes and campaign manager Joe Allbaugh. Rove, a friend of George Bush's 1988 campaign manager, Lee Atwater, is a longtime political consultant and a major reason the GOP dominates Texas elections right now. After going for more than 100 years without electing a Texas governor, Republicans today hold all 29 statewide elected offices. Many of the campaigns were masterminded by Rove. He orchestrated the highly visible pilgrimages that national Republican figures made to Austin this year, as Bush was staying home to consider running for president. When Bush asked him to sell the consulting company he founded two decades ago to concentrate on helping him win the White House, Rove did. ``He's been my friend for 25 years,'' Rove explained. ``I'd want to be able to put my heart and soul into it.'' Ms. Hughes is another member of the so-called Iron Triangle, although she says she's in the dark about the origin of the nickname the news media hung on Bush's closest advisers. A former Fort Worth television reporter, Ms. Hughes moved from covering politics to playing the game. Texas press coordinator for Reagan-Bush in 1984, she later became executive director of the Texas GOP and joined Bush in the early months of the 1994 race. She's spoken for him ever since. Allbaugh is a big presence in the campaign's day-to-day workings. An Oklahoma native and campaign veteran, Allbaugh quickly earned a reputation among staffers in Bush's first campaign as the guy who said ``no'' to spending requests. He served as Bush's executive assistant - with an office only steps away from the governor's - until the Texas Legislature ended its 1999 session. The three helped Bush oust popular Democratic Gov. Ann Richards in 1994 and get nearly 70 percent of the vote in his 1998 re-election. ``The good campaign teams are the ones that emerge in the heat of battle. They did that in 1994. I have a lot of respect for them,'' said Chuck McDonald, spokesman for Richards' last campaign. ``They are very good at getting on their message and staying on their message.'' The Policy Wonks In many ways Bush's policy team, now numbering more than 100 conservative thinkers, can trace its creation to a small April 1998 gathering at the Palo Alto, Calif., home of former Secretary of State George Shultz. Shultz assembled fellows from Stanford University's Hoover Institution to meet with Bush. Those who attended say they came away impressed. ``We covered the landscape, from foreign policy and national security to tax policy and Social Security reform,'' says Bush adviser John Cogan, an economist and senior fellow at the institution. ``What amazed me and surprised me was how often the governor would ask a series of follow-up questions, probing into your idea.'' Bush is leaning heavily on the Hoover think tank. Shultz, a Hoover distinguished fellow, was on Bush's presidential exploratory committee. Cogan and Hoover fellows Martin Anderson and Michael
[CTRL] Rev Moon / S.Korea-Japan / George Bush
-Caveat Lector- The potential World War III now brewing in the Pacific couldn't be happening more opportunely for a Bush presidency in 2000. The Bush "Octopus" has many longtime friends in Asia -- the KCIA, the Yakuza, and right-wing imperialist industrialists who long for a nuclear-armed, militarized Japan. Pentagon paranoia about a newly expansionist Red China --aided and abetted by Democrat Bill Clinton-- obviously coveting Taiwan and covertly supporting North Korea, is another serendipitous development. George Sr made big bucks while "saving the world" in the Persian Gulf war. George Jr may have HIS chance --somehow made to order?-- in East Asia ... from The Consortium, 1997: The Dark Side of Rev. Moon: Hooking George Bush by Robert Parry Last fall, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's latest foray into the high-priced world of media and politics was in trouble. South American journalists were writing scathingly about Moon's plan to open a regional newspaper that the 77-year-old founder of the Korean-based Unification Church hoped would give him the same influence in Latin America that the ultra-conservative Washington Times had in the United States. As opening day ticked closer for Moon's Tiempos del Mundo, leading South American newspapers were busy recounting unsavory chapters of Moon's history, including his links with South Korea's feared intelligence service and with violent anti-communist organizations that some commentaries said bordered on neo-fascist. Indeed, in the early 1980s, amid widespread human rights abuses, Moon had used friendships with the military dictators in Argentina and Uruguay to invest in those two countries. Moon was such a pal of the Argentine generals that he garnered an honorary award for siding with Argentina's junta in the Falklands War. [UPI, Nov. 16, 1984] More recently, Moon has been buying large tracts of agricultural lands in Paraguay. La Nacion reported that Moon had discussed these business ventures with Paraguay's ex-dictator Alfredo Stroessner. [Nov. 19, 1996] Moon's disciples fumed about the critical stories and accused the Argentine news media of trying to sabotage the newspaper's inaugural gala in Buenos Aires on Nov. 23. "The local press was trying to undermine the event," complained the church's internal newsletter, Unification News. [December 1996] Given the controversy, Argentina's elected president, Carlos Menem, decided to reject Moon's invitation. But Moon had a trump card to play in his bid for South American respectability: the endorsement of an ex-president of the United States -- George Bush. Agreeing to speak at the newspaper's launch, Bush flew aboard a private plane, arriving in Buenos Aires on Nov. 22. Bush stayed at Menem's official residence, the Olivos. But Bush failed to change the Argentine president's mind. Still, Moon's followers gushed that Bush had saved the day, as he stepped before about 900 Moon guests at the Sheraton Hotel. "Mr. Bush's presence as keynote speaker gave the event invaluable prestige," wrote the Unification News. "Father [Moon] and Mother [Mrs. Moon] sat with several of the True Children [Moon's offspring] just a few feet from the podium." Bush lavished praise on Moon and his journalistic enterprises. "I want to salute Reverend Moon, who is the founder of The Washington Times and also of Tiempos del Mundo," Bush declared. "A lot of my friends in South America don't know about The Washington Times, but it is an independent voice. The editors of The Washington Times tell me that never once has the man with the vision interfered with the running of the paper, a paper that in my view brings sanity to Washington, D.C. I am convinced that Tiempos del Mundo is going to do the same thing" in Latin America. Bush then held up the colorful new newspaper and complimented several articles, including one flattering piece about Barbara Bush. Bush's speech was so effusive that it surprised even Moon's followers. "Once again, heaven turned a disappointment into a victory," the Unification News exulted. "Everyone was delighted to hear his compliments. We knew he would give an appropriate and 'nice' speech, but praise in Father's presence was more than we expected. ... It was vindication. We could just hear a sigh of relief from Heaven." Bush's endorsement of The Washington Times' editorial independence also was not truthful. Almost since it opened in 1982, a string of senior editors and correspondents have resigned, citing the manipulation of the news by Moon and his subordinates. The first editor, James Whelan, resigned in 1984, confessing that he had "blood on his hands" for helping the church achieve greater legitimacy. Money Talks But Bush's boosterism was just what Moon needed in South America. "The day after," the Unification News observed, "the press did a 180-degree about-turn once they realized
[CTRL] Starr Fades Out (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Starr Fades Out: One Year After Clintons Testimony, Starr Prepares to End Inquiry Source: ABCNEWS.com Published: 8/17/99 Author: By J. Jennings Moss and Brian Ross Aug. 17 ABCNEWS has learned that Kenneth Starr has told the three-judge panel that appointed him he is ready to leave the Office of the Independent Counsel, though a great deal of work remains unfinished, including a decision on whether to prosecute the Clintons. But Starr, who wants to leave in the next few months, has determined it is not feasible to hand the work to the Justice Department and is recommending that the OIC continue its work. Sources also said Starr has forwarded the resumes of three of his deputies including Michael Emmick, who led the sting operation against Monica Lewinsky to the judges as recommended replacements who then would file a final report closing out the five-year investigation into President Clinton. Starr has yet, however, to file an official notice of his resignation with the judges. Winding Down Already there were signs that Starrs probe was winding down. At its peak in September 1998, Starrs OIC had 28 attorneys and 32 staff members. As of this month, the office has 18 attorneys and 32 employees on staff, said Starr spokeswoman Elizabeth Ray. The investigation has cost at least $40 million. Right now, were beginning to draft it, Ray said of the final report. Its not a blistering report as some people have reported it to be. We have no guidelines of how a final report should be written so were taking it step by step but we have started writing. The final report is expected to encompass much of the scope of Starrs investigation, only part of which dealt with his offices historic questioning of Clinton about the presidents affair with Lewinksy, a former White House intern. Starrs probe has delved into the complicated Arkansas real estate venture known as Whitewater, the law firm business practices of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the firings of White House travel office employees early in the Clinton administration, the suicide of a Clinton friend and other matters. The timing of that report is important because it might raise questions about the actions of Mrs. Clinton, who is expected to seek a Senate seat from New York. We are trying to move forward very, very rapidly in that respect, Starr told reporters earlier this month at an American Bar Association convention. Starr refused to discuss whether he had closed out the possibility of seeking an indictment against either the president or the first lady, although there are suggestions he will do neither. It would be inappropriate for me to be commenting at all about the future of the investigation, Starr said. What a Difference a Year Can Make Todays news comes exactly a year after Starr made history by getting a sitting president before a grand jury. For four hours in a windowless room at the White House, Starrs prosecutors grilled President Clinton about his relationship with Lewinsky while a grand jury watched the interrogation blocks away over a closed-circuit line. While Starr, a former federal appellate court judge who held positions in the Reagan and Bush administrations, is cautious about talking about the Clintons, others who have come up against Starr are not so hesitant to offer their opinion. It was kind of a lesson in prosecutorial misconduct for the whole country to see, says Mark J. Geragos, the attorney for Susan McDougal, one of the targets in the Whitewater probe who preferred to spend time in jail rather than cooperate with Starr in his investigation. This is what happens when you give unfettered rights and discretion and budget to a federal prosecutor. Nancy Luque, the lawyer for Julie Hiatt Steele, agreed. Starr prosecuted Steele because he believed she made false statements that hindered his investigation into whether Clinton made an unwelcome sexual advance on Kathleen E. Willey, a onetime White House volunteer. A jury deadlocked on four obstruction of justice charges May 7 and Starr decided against a retrial. Starrs problem is that he was arrogant enough to think he could do this job when he didnt have the experience or the judgment, Luque said. Its the most important prosecution in the history of our country. Just like I wouldnt go pole vault at the Olympics, he shouldnt have taken it on. But while Starr has detractors, he also has a sizable number of supporters who argue that the independent counsel was following his philosophy of judging illegal activity and misconduct in an unambiguous way. It is a view without a gray area. Someone tells the truth or lies, someone stays within the law or breaks it. Supporters Praise Starrs Integrity Early on in the process, Judge Starr knew that his service would be a thankless one, said Todd Gaziano, a former presidential legal adviser to presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton. I think Judge Starr knew that this would

[CTRL] monsanto litigation-perry schmeiser files countersuit against monsanto !
-Caveat Lector- ...posted on SANET Saskatchewan Farmer Battles Monsanto, Sues Them Back Vancouver Sun, Page B01, Saturday, August 14, 1999 -- Saskatchewan farmer battles agro-chemical giant: Percy Schmeiser is being sued for having patented canola seeds growing on his land. He says he's done nothing wrong, and is fighting back, by Dave Margoshes Regina -- Percy Schmeiser was mad as hell, and decided he wasn't going to take it. Schmeiser has been growing canola -- the yellow- blossomed oilseed that used to be known as rapeseed -- for 40 years, and he knows his stuff. He's been experimenting, developing his own varieties, using his own seed and generally prospering with canola, reaping the benefits derived from growing an increasingly popular crop. So when Monsanto, the giant multinational agro-chemical company that is at the forefront of developing genetically modified foods, accused him of patent infringement and demanded restitution for its seeds, his pride was hurt. He chose to fight rather than roll over and take it. This week, following a failed mediation effort and fed up with Monsanto's "high-handed and arrogant actions," Schmeiser had his lawyer launch a $10-million plus countersuit against the company, claiming defamation of character, trespass and ecological havoc. Schmeiser's not convinced the seed in his fields last year was Monsanto's, and argues that, if it was, it got there through courtesy of wind or cross-pollination, forces of nature farmers know lots about but, he complains, Monsanto seems to have forgotten. No way, says Monsanto, and it has filed an affidavit from an independent agricultural expert to back up its claim that Schmeiser was in unlawful possession of its seeds. Craig evans, Monsanto canada's general manager for biotechnology and seeds, defended the company's actions this week, saying, "what it boils down to is, can farmers protect their investment? If one farmer's getting a significant break over others -- no matter how he comes by it -- well, you can imagine how that makes the others feel." Evans said Monsanto is convinced Schmeiser is not an innocent victim. "if we thought that, we wouldn't have taken this as far as we have." The david and goliath case, which surfaced a year ago, was set to go to court last fall, but goliath blinked and, instead, Schmeiser and Monsanto attended a one-day court-appointed mediation session earlier this week. Neither side will say exactly what happened, but the case is headed back to court and, barring any further blinking, will be before a judge sometime next spring -- probably around the time Schmeiser is seeding his fields with canola. He farms about 570 hectares at bruno, about 90 kilometres east of Saskatoon -- with about two thirds of it planted to canola -- and also runs a farm implement business. He planted canola again this year -- but from brand new seed, and definitely not Monsanto's. Schmeiser, a 68-year-old former reeve and councillor of the local rural municipality, and a liberal mla in the government of ross thatcher in the late '60s, is a respected member of the community, not the sort of fellow one would expect to steal someone else's seeds -- especially when he's had so much success with his own. But that's exactly what Monsanto has accused him of. Monsanto, headquartered in st. Louis, makes the popular herbicide roundup. Farmers all over the prairies - -- Schmeiser among them -- spray it on their fields, whereupon it kills everything growing there. Then they plant. Using the controversial alchemy of genetic engineering, which has alarmed environmentalists and consumers, Monsanto has developed a canola seed completely immune to roundup. That means a farmer can spray the herbicide over a planted field, kill all the weeds growing there, but not hurt the crop -- as long as it comes from Monsanto's seed. The company sells the seed -- about half the canola planted in Saskatchewan this year comes from it -- but keeps the rights to the dna itself. It means that, rather than save seeds from last year's crop to use this year, as many do -- and as Schmeiser traditionally does -- farmers have to buy new seed from Monsanto every year. In order to protect its investment, Monsanto has been vigilant in rooting out frugal farmers who might be cheating and saving seed, or borrowing a bit of seed from neighbours. Farmers buying Monsanto's seed must sign a contract promising to buy fresh seed every year. And they must let Monsanto inspect their fields. The company also employs snitch lines and encourages farmers who are loyal customers to rat on their neighbours who might be cheating -- which, apparently, is how Schmeiser came to its attention. If this sounds heavy-handed, or overly big brotherish, lend an ear to Monsanto official randy christenson. "we've put years, years and years of research and time into developing this technology," says christenson, a former regional director for Monsanto in western canada. "so for us
[CTRL] After promising accountability, Speaker Newt Gingrich took care of his own
-Caveat Lector- Congress: America's Criminal Class - Part II After promising accountability, Speaker Newt Gingrich took care of his own Part I -- Rep. Corrine Brown: A trail of lies deceit Part II -- Rep. Jim Moran: Virginia's bombastic Congressman By the staff of Capitol Hill Blue In March of 1998, a casual observer might have thought California Republican Congressman Jay Kim's career was over. Kim had admitted to committing the largest amount of campaign violations ever by a member of Congress. More than one-third of the contributions to his 1992 primary campaign, which he won by only 889 votes, were illegal. "Jay Kim probably stole a congressional election in 1992 by this fraudulent campaign financing scheme. If the House is serious about the meaning of elections and democracy, they'll expel him, and soon," said Gary Ruskin, who directs the Congressional Accountability Project. "In my view, Jay Kim's presence cheapens the moral authority of every other member there." After pleading guilty to accepting more than $250,000 in illegal corporate and foreign campaign contributions, Kim was sentenced to two months of "house arrest," restricted to his suburban Virginia home and the halls of Congress. But he kept his job, and all the perks that went with it. The following month, House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) appointed Kim to the House-Senate group negotiating the budget-busting highway bill. "He's a very active member," said House Transportation Committee Chairman Bud Shuster. "His plight has not diminished his effectiveness here in Congress," said fellow California Republican David Drier. Kim's estranged wife, June, was less charitable. "It's really frustrating that our law is not tough enough to get him out right away," she said. "He's humiliated us enough." Despite her wishes, and the demands of others, the law did not require Kim to quit and Congressional leaders, as a rule, usually find a way to accommodate, not punish, fellow members who break the law. Other House members have kept their seats even while serving in prison: Rep. Thomas Lane (D-Mass.) went to jail from May 7 to Sept. 7, 1956, for tax evasion and Rep. Matthew Lyon (R-Vt.) was imprisoned for violating the Sedition Act in 1798 but returned to Congress after a mob broke him out of jail. Kim announced immediately after his conviction and sentencing that he would run for re-election to a fourth term. "His plan is to win the primary, win the general election and move ahead," spokesman P.J. O'Neil said at the time. California Republicans rallied to Kim's defense. Rep. Jerry Lewis, predicted Kim would defy the predictions of his political demise. "Jay, I expect, will be with us for a long time," Lewis said. He wasn't. Kim was creamed in the California congressional primary just two months later. Gingrich told fellow Republicans he saw no reason to punish Kim or exclude him from Congressional business. "He's been punished by the court," Gingrich said. "That's enough." Kim "punishment" was two months home detention and a $5,000 fine. He could have been sent to prison for three years and fined more than $100,000. His problems came right when committees in both the House and Senate were getting ready to probe illegal campaign contributions to the President's 1996 re-election campaign. When it comes to members who break the law, leaders of both the House and Senate usually rally around those in their own party and call for the heads of those on the other side of the aisle. When punishment is demanded, the motivation is almost always political revenge, not justice. At the time Gingrich showed such leniency to Kim, he was himself making payments on a $300,000 fine by the ethics committee, the worst ever levied against a member of Congress. The fine grew out of charges filed by Michigan Democrat David Bonior, who openly admitted he was getting even with Gingrich for the Georgia Republican's role in bringing down former Democratic Speaker Jim Wright of Texas. "It's called payback," Bonior told reporters. "Our political system doesn't act out of a sense of justice," says former Southern Illinois University political scientist George Harleigh. "What you have is political expediency, driven by revenge and gain. So the reaction of those in power is to protect their own. Members of Congress operate on a different plane where right and wrong don't exist - only winning and losing." It's been that way for years in Congress within both parties. When the Republicans took control of the House and Senate in the 1994 elections, new Speaker of the House Gingrich promised to put an end to such practices. Yet during his four years as Speaker, Gingrich often looked the other way when members of his own party crossed the legal line. As both the House and Senate prepared to investigate illegal foreign contributions to the Democratic National Committee and the 1996 Clinton presidential campaign, a number of Republicans urged Gingrich not to allow Government Reform

[CTRL] Fwd: Internet Battle Article
The 8-17-99 article in Salon by Mark Gimein may represent the weakest reasoning yet for the patently absurd arguments in defense of ATT, as it attempt to remove competitors in the cable modem business. Mr. Gimein argues that if local regulators are allowed to restrict ATT's demand to have an monopoly, it will supposedly open the door for local regulations to restrict other things. The examples he then gives are a prosecutor in Tennessee seeking to sanction a pornographer in California, the U.S. government blocking the Web site of a casino in Antigua and China trying to shut down a pro-Taiwan Web site in New York. The comparison has no legitimacy whatsoever. A Tennessee prosecutor attacking a California pornographer, the US blocking an Antigua casino and China battling a New York website are all cases in which jurisdiction is the defining issue. In all three cases listed, the governmental body does not have its opponent within its domain, so its power to regulate simply doesn't exist. ATT, having obtained an exclusive contract with the local government agencies (such as Portland) trying to regulate ATT's never agreed upon usage of cable lines, is most certainly under the jurisdiction of these local governments. Mr. Gimein then tries to bring up the boogeyman of content suppression, indicating that allowing local governments the right to regulate business contracts opens up the door to restricting certain web pages through its service. This again is a frivolous argument. Restricting web pages is an issue of Constitutional First Amendment rights, issues not even remotely involved with in the ATT battle, despite the company's whine. Once again, ATT has contracted to provide services to local governments, and so this is an issue involving contractual rights, not Constitutional rights. Last time I checked, ATT did not have a Constitutional freedom to screw customers on a whim via sweetheart business deals. In fact, Mr. Gimein misses the reverse dangers of giving ATT a free reign over Internet access: that they may regulate access to the net for its own benefit. It is quite possible that ATT may restrict the access of web pages critical to its business dealings or those high up in its corporate structure. Should local governments allow them to do this blindly? This is not a frivolous issue. The current CEO of ATT is C. Michael Armstrong. Previously, Mr. Armstrong was the head of Hughes Electronics, and during his tenure there, he became so involved with trade issues involving China, the lax security of Hughes, and the backing of Clinton's presidential campaign that there are many who believe he is legally complicit in the Chinese spy scandal, and some who argue that he is guilty of treason. This certainly can be debated, but when the same individual controls cable internet access to 60% of the country, such debate can be effectively silenced. All this leads to a better explanation for the FCC's blind defense of ATT than anything Mr. Gimein presented in the article. Armstrong, having financed Clinton's presidential ambitions and being a serious partner in one of his worst scandals, is owed a big favor by the Commander-In-Chief. The chips are being called in, so the FCC is backing ATT's absurd defense as payback. Of course, Salon, being a generally glib and lightweight news service, may smirk at such talk as conspiracy theory, as part of its general style to replace thoughtful analysis with smarmy fluff. And perhaps such an explanation is a false conspiracy theory. However, even if this is the case, at least it has some remote chance of being legitimate, rather than the poorly reasoned arguments Mr. Gimein has put out in defense for ATT. Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Local regulators and the Net ATT's battle against open access to its cable system is about Internet infrastructure. What if it were about Internet content? - - - - - - - - - - - - By Mark Gimein August 17, 1999 | If you have been following the debate over open access to ATT's recently acquired cable systems, you'll know that some district courts have sided with cities like Portland, Ore., which has demanded that ATT allow competing Internet access providers to use its cable system. On Monday the Federal Communications Commission filed a "friend of the court" brief opposing the Oregon ruling. On Tuesday, Excite@Home, the high-speed Net service provider, will follow suit with a brief of its own, asking the court to overturn its decision. "Allowing 30,000 local governments to impose a raft of new, burdensome rules will significantly delay the development and deployment of high-speed Internet services," says an Excite@Home news release about its brief. When federal bureaucrats and big business lobbyists are on the same side, my natural tendency is to look for a fly in the ointment. In this case, however, the feds and big business have a point.

Please send as far and wide as possible. Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/1999/john-john/john-john.htm http://www.konformist.com/1999/john-john/hilder2.htm Sunday, August 15, 1999 THE EXPLOSIVE STORY A second opinion on the Kennedy crash by Anthony J. Hilder: Victor Pribanic often goes to Martha's Vineyard to fish for those big striped bass which lay in abundance off the south end of the island. The remnants of the old boardwalk is still there, along with some of the steel poles stuck where the old-timers came from one of the fishing clubs that drew crowds there in the late 1800's. Those places are all closed now. But those who know "the right spot" off Squidnocket Point still take the trip to fish at night in hopes they'll bag some big bass. Vic Pribanic was there fishing the night that JFK Jr.'s airplane was on its approach to the island's overlit airport when the murdered president's only son radioed the control tower at 9:39 p.m. that he was about 10 miles off the island and would drop off his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette and then take off again between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. for the Hyannis Airport. United Press International, ABC News and WCVB-TV fully confirmed this story. All was well and the sky was moderately clear. There was just a little haze when Kennedy got his first view of the lights beaming up from the bright street lamps that the locals there have complained so much about in both the Martha's Vineyard Gazette and Martha's Vineyard Times. For JFK Jr., his wife and her sister, the lights were welcome sight, knowing that their flight was just about over. The airplane, a Piper Saratoga and its world-renowned pilot and passengers, had been identified from JFK Jr.'s call, and their exact location was noted on the radar screen. THEY HAD A FIX ON HIM. And then it all happened. BAM !! As sudden as a lightining bolt, Pribanic turned abruptly towards the explosion: "I heard a loud impact like a bomb", said Pribanic, a skilled trial lawyer from White Oak, Pennsylvania. At first he thought it could have been the military, exploding one of their bombs off of No-Man's Island, a small island off the shore. But that couldn't be. It was at night. And they stopped that years ago. Nonetheless, the explosion sounded nearly identical and came seemingly from the sky out over the ocean. Victor Pribanic, an innocent small-town Pennsylvania lawyer, was to bag a 35-pound striper "that night" as well as a story that will change the course of the country for all time!! What we have here is a very reputable "ear-witness" to JFK Jr.'s Piper Saratoga being blown out of the sky - at the exact time and location the plane went down. Others that evening witnessed seeing a "bright flash" in the night sky. A finely-tuned, well-kept first-class airplane doesn't just drop out of the sky and head straight down into the ocean unless it's blown out of the sky or the pilot deliberately sends it into a dive to kill himself and his passengers. If the latter happened, it would imply that JFK Jr. was either an idiot or insane. Neither of which was true. The "managed media" report that he was flying in "bad weather" is an absolute lie and we can prove it with both witnesses and photographs, so that the story will no longer fly. What does this mean? Does it mean: 1) that JFK Jr., his wife and sister-in-law were murdered as soon as the killers ID'd his plane on its approach for a landing? Yes! It means exactly that. 2) that those who "control" the MEDIA SPIN and those who own the "managed media" who tell their editors and reporters what to write, what to print and what to show, COVERED UP THIS CRIME?Exactly! Before your very eyes! 3) that those in the executive branch of government who control the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, the ISA, the NTSB and all investigative agencies related to the crime are "involved" in this act of murder?Yes! That's this reporter's opinion! What about Victor Pribanic? Is he credible? Yes! I found him to be one of the clearest and most concerned witnesses I've ever come across, as evidenced by his actions after the explosion shattered the calm of his night and changed his life forever. The next day when Pribanic heard the news of the Kennedy crash, he called local aviation officials to tell his story and then eventually wound up talking to Hank Myer of the West Tisbury Police Dept. to tell his story. They went out to the site he fished the night before and he pointed to where the explosion had rocked the night sky. It was in the exact direction where they discovered the plane submerged on the ocean floor many days later. Why didn't the authorities consult with this top witness, ignoring him and spending the better part of the week spending hundreds of thousands of dollars sweeping hundreds of empty square miles for the missing plane? Where Victor Pribanic had pointed as the location of the explosion is

I will still be contactable via email if you have any questions or articles to share! To make up for this, I've prepared a bumper issue! See you all soon. Auction's Achilles heel? Web auctions are proving a boon for consumers in search of hard to buy items or bottom-dollar prices. But they have their weaknesses. Net-Alert has previously noted the potential for fraud when the parties to a transaction deal with each other at a distance. Does the vendor ship the goods and then hope to get paid, or does the buyer part with money and hope the goods turn up? These issues can be overcome through the use of escrow agents (an independent 3rd party that collects the payment from the purchaser and only pays the vendor when the goods are delivered intact to the purchaser). But escrow agents are not a complete solution. There have been reports of "bid shielding", which works something like this: A bidder places a deliberately low bid for an item. An associate then places an outrageously high bid for the same item. The high bid serves to ward off other potential bidders. At the last moment, the associate revokes the bid, leaving the lower bid to win. Something to keep an eye out for if you frequently use auctions to sell items. "Cybercrime" on the rise - but few prosecutions David Banisar, high-profile privacy advocate and lawyer, recently published an article in Criminal Justice Weekly noting that there has been a spike in the number of computer crimes referred by US investigators (including the FBI) for prosecution. However, a majority of the cases were being rejected by government lawyers. According to the article, 419 computer crime cases were referred to government prosecutors in 1998, but charges were filed in only 83 cases. A key reason given for the low prosecution rate was the difficulties involved in proving computer crime. Most of the cases were rejected due to a lack of admissible evidence. Microsoft publicity stunt backfires In an attempt to draw attention to the security of its new Windows 2000 operating system, Microsoft Corp. issued a challenge to all comers to circumvent the security of an Internet host configured with a beta version of Windows 2000. The result of the challenge is unclear, which is not surprising - the target host crashed several times before wannabe hackers could try their tricks. Conflicting explanations were given by Microsoft, including router troubles and electrical storms. Sensible advice for online shoppers Choice Australia, a consumer advocacy and education group, has released a new report titled: Online Shopping - what you need to know. Key recommendations are: - buy only from secure servers - shop around for information and the best price before buying - familiarise yourself with the vendor's privacy policy - ensure that there is a clear and unambiguous policy dealing with the return of goods - make sure you know what you're buying and what you're paying URL: Choice Australia report http://www.choice.com.au/YourRightsView.asp?CatID=6ArticleID=7 32 Custom encryption cracking PC has developers worried A new computer, nicknamed "Twinkle" and designed by Adi Shamir, one of the original developers of the RSA encryption technology, has security experts and privacy advocates worried. If built - and at a cost of around US$2 million it is well within certain budgets - it could theoretically crack most encrypted files in a matter of days, not the months or years (or, in some cases, decades) most existing encryption-cracking technology requires. While sensitive military, financial and government data are protected by superior encryption algorithms using longer key lengths, most individuals and companies must make do with less secure encryption technology,

Now your reply below where you doubt the euro superiority ploy I expect. I have info from one of the top experts of euro families and political structures (a prominant MN attorney who handles civil rights cases). He speaks of these matters in pivate, not wanting any publicity. He is a scholar. Based on corroboration from his research, I continue to believe that ghwb and tribe along with all other covert operators will be "cut-off at the knees suddenly." I have had a very high level contact into a certain part of the navy oni. Have you heard of the greybeards? Do you know how much power they have had? Ask someone in the know--you will be suprised at the truth about them. Are you aware of the battle between klinton and the sub commanders (klinton wanted to take the weapons systems dual keys away from the sub commanders and some flat out refused. I was told from a reliable source that in certain cases the covert operators based in the potomac basin want individuals such as yourself to keep speaking out against them and if you weren't there they would raise someone else up to replace you. WHY such a seemingly divided strategy? You can be used as a penetration test to judge the cultural resistance base they have spun over the years and to test their current mis disinformation sections; you can be used as a lightning rod to classify certain dissident element, labelled as dangerous free thinkers; they also have a "knights of malta, P2, masonic" belief which is very bizarre but common to their elite members (they believe that they are the chosen and that in order to show the olympiad proportions of the power of their god lucifer, they need to fund their oppositon to create a fair power test in order to speed up the "world transformation" they expect); individuals such as yourself are periodically beat on and stressed enough to create enough commitment and zeal in you to adequately test their ower ranks and bureacracies; and lastly, individuals such as yourself can be used as the operation exit nexus, that is, your exposure can help discredit the existing gov't and help the string-pullers disempower and derail the cutouts they have empowered. I personally think you were picked for such use because they knew you were honest and had enough character to stand firm and hassle them effectively. Can I prove this is so? No, but I believe it. Do I think the big power lies in Europe among the old black nobility and will they destroy us and our covert operator leaders? Yes that is what I think. I hope and pray that I am wrong. I personally think our nation will be destroyed by nuclear bombs and bio within the next 5-6 years or less and have been told so by someone with exceptional sci "Q37" credentials. Keep up the good work. And ask someone in the know about "the suitcase" treatments for wayward covert ops or post-mission removal of trauma for task forces or mjtf actions. Mike, you are one of the few that can't be bought or seduced by power--you have proved this to be true with your life. It is a testimony of truth in the darkness. Keep it up.

Please send as far and wide as possible. Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/1999/garth.htm Garth Brooks and the New World Order by Jaye C. Beldo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Ever wonder how someone as terminally mediocre as Garth Brooks could sell out nine consecutive shows at the Target Center in Minneapolis? Or how such a hack twanger managed to draw the largest crowd ever to attend a live concert in New York's Central Park with an additional 14.7 million television viewers gawking at the spectacle? Ever wonder why Garth is now the biggest selling solo artist in U.S. music history with well over 70 million dollars generated in sales alone? Does it disturb you that he has vowed to sell 100 Million albums and will probably achieve that goal long before his life is over? And when his life is over, just try to imagine the post-mortem profits in store for his record company. No human being yet has achieved the level of stardom that Garth has. Even the Beatles don't come close to the profits and fame he's amassed. The responsibility for Garth's astonishing success, which leaves Michael Jackson, Prince and others back in the Billboard dust, does not lie solely with the sheer stupidity of the unwashed masses who consume his stuff. In any reasonable world view, there would be something occult and sinister working for Brooks behind the scenes that spellbinds his fans, then coerces them into total submission to his paltry vision. Perhaps, for instance, a Country Western New World Order complete with centralized government and world army of the sort NATO currently foreshadows. At the risk of being branded a conspiracy crank and card carrying member of the Art Bell fan club, I suggest that Garth is the nefarious, quasi-human progeny of a vast mind control operation behind the Country Western music industry itself. He was a petri dish baby exposed in sanitized labs to Merle Haggard and Johnny Paycheck and later baptized by a fourth dimensional, reptilian Pope with Jack Daniels and Marlboro cigarette smoke. Before you scoff any further, take a good look at Garth's wireless eyes the next chance you get. They're a dead mind control give away. They have the same sleazy gleam to them like the poached and glazed eyes of Marshall Applewhite, the CEO of Heaven's Gate (whose members allegedly committed suicide to hitch a ride in a UFO trailing the Hale-Bopp comet back in '96). No telling when Garth will pull the levers of the Country Music combine that will gobble up his fans and turn them into bales of human hay for the reptiles hiding in the fourth dimension. I had these unsettling intuitions strangely confirmed recently when I came across Cathy O' Brian's book Trance Formation of America. She points out that the country music industry's home base is no longer centered in Nashville, but rather in Branson, Missouri where millions flock during tourist season in their RVs to take in such abhorrently vile acts such as the Dixie Chicks, George Strait and Eddie Rabbit. Branson, she says, is near a known CIA mind control and drug running depot in the town of Lampe, Missouri. Conspiracy author David Icke quotes her at length in his recent best selling book, The Biggest Secret: "Country music, she discovered, was used by the Brotherhood's U.S. agencies to distribute massive amounts of drugs into American society and as a cover for its mind control projects. It was these agencies, she says, which paid for the promotion and hype that turned a singer called Boxcar Willie into a country music star." Since Boxcar Willie died recently (Or so we are told . . . might he be playing Poker with his drinking buddy William Casey?) it seems that the agency has now turned to the Garth-bot to promote its insidious agenda of total and complete control of the world (unless their maps still aren't up to date and they can't find the city he's playing in). There's a lot more in those G major chords and maudlin steel guitar twanging than we are told. His seemingly down home songs and lyrics contain both subliminal and supraliminal messages directed to embed commands into the subconscious minds of the unsuspecting listeners, much like beer commercials do. So the next time you are tempted to enjoy a Garth tune, imagine Milosevic, Hussein and Clinton toe tapping to the Garth hit "Fit for a King" and that's pretty much the future we can expect if we don't take some positive action now. So meditate, and then send vibes of love and light Garth's way. Direct the vibes to his corny pineal gland if possible for maximum beneficial effect. Take heed, cast your skepticism aside and be careful what y'all listen to. O.K.?

[CTRL] Fwd: Nonjudgmentalism
Nonjudgmentalism--Another Sign of the End! (Mama:) After hearing the following magazine article, we asked the Lord if He had anything, to say about itwhich of course He did! This article and the Lord's reply confirms the bad fruits of teaching "there are no absolutes," which has been the trend in American education for decades now. Here's the article, followed by the Lord's reply. "Absolutoptophobia" By John Leo, US News and World Report Overdosing on nonjudgmentalism is a growing problem in the schools. Two disturbing articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education say that some students are unwilling to oppose large moral horrors, including human sacrifice, ethnic cleansing, and slavery, because they think that no one has the right to criticise the moral views of another group or culture. Kay Haugaard, who teaches creative writing at Pasadena City College in California writes that her students have a lot of trouble expressing any moral reservations or objections about human sacrifice. The subject came up when she taught her class Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, a short story about a small American farm town where one person is killed each year to make the crops grow. One male said the ritual killing in The Lottery "almost seems a need." Asked if she believed in human sacrifice, a woman said, "I really don't know. If it was a religion of long standing" Haugaard writes: "I was stunned. This was the woman who wrote so passionately of saving the whales, of her rescue and tender care of a stray dog." Christina Hoff Sommers, professor of philosophy at Clark University in Massachusetts, points to a general problem of so many students coming to college "dogmatically committed to a moral relativism that offers them no grounds to think" about cheating, stealing, and other moral issues. Simon calls this "absolutophobia"the unwillingness to say that some behaviour is just plain wrong. The trend among some campus thinkers is to deny the existence of any objective truth: All we can have are clashing perspectives, not true moral knowledge. Values emerge as personal preferences, as unsuited for criticism or argument as personal decisions on pop music or clothes. (Jesus speaking:) As I have said, as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of My second coming. Therefore lift up your eyes and see, for these are the days of which I spoke. The days are come, and even now are, as in the times of old, when the people of the Earth did not retain Me in their thoughts. These are the days, My children, when iniquity doth abound. Behold these days of abounding, of evil waxing worse and worse as the love of many grows cold. Think it not strange when you see the signs of the times come to pass, but know that yet a little while and I will come for My Own. These are the days of choosing sides, and Satan's own are taking their stand. They're coming out, becoming more and more bold, revealing what has been in the making in their hearts for a long time. These who declare plainly and openly that they have no morals, no absolutesthese have been defiled. They're as pawns in the hands of the Wicked One, blind leaders of the blind and false teachers among the people, who walk about deceiving and being deceived. These who are without feeling, who have no absolutes, who are taking on the position of "neutralism," do choose to walk in darkness. For there are no neutrals, and those who choose this stance of nonjudgmentalism leave themselves open to receive strong delusion that they might believe the lie. These who would appear to be non-judgmental are in fact passing judgment on the truth. In their unwillingness to take a stand for what is morally right, they're promoting what is morally wrong. When men turn a blind eye, evil flourishes. By accepting the way of no rules, no morals, and no values, one accepts the road to no faith, no conviction, no freedom, no rhyme, no reason, no order, and no truth. These are the days of destruction, for by destroying faith in the truth, the Enemy is conditioning the masses. He's lining up his forcesthose who will speak out on his behalf, those who will spread his propaganda of no morals, no values, no regard for human life, no absolutes. Through advancing his doctrine of "there are no morals and anything goes," Satan's ownthose who are darkened in understanding and who receive not the love of the truthwill be persuaded to persecute the righteous for by their own evil conscience they will justify their actions. Through their own hardness of heart and cold, frigid spirits, they will not be moved with compassion, but will shrug in indifference as they justify their actions in their minds and hearts. With no regard for human life, they will follow the Son of Perdition in all his ways. Today they take their stand, tomorrow they will put their words

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: jim gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: workbike list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 1999 11:59 PM Subject: [workbike] Report: Pedicabbing at the Iowa Straw Poll (long) Last Saturday I worked the Iowa Straw Poll using my homebuilt pedicab Since this was the first time I had seriously carried people for profit, I thought I'd share my experiences for the benefit of other novices, and hopefully gain some advice from other pedicab operators who have more experience than I do. For those of you unfamiliar with this event, the Iowa Straw Poll polls members of the Iowa Republican Party to determine who will be the likely winner in the Iowa Republican presidential caucus next February. This is event has national significance because Iowa is the first state in the U.S. with a presidential election. It often winnows the field of presidential candidates, since candidates who do not do well in the poll frequently drop out of the race. The poll is closely followed by the national media. The event was held at Hilton Colliseum, which is located about five blocks from my house. Hilton is located on the north end of a huge, level parking lot. Immediately around and to the south of the Colliseum, nine of the presidential aspirants had each set up a large tent to attract supporters. To the south of these tents was an area reserved for bus parking (most candidates had chartered buses to bring supporters from all over the state--in fact, _all_ of the available chartered buses in this state and surrounding regions were chartered for this event) about 2-3 blocks from the Colliseum. To the south of the bus parking area was an area set aside for automobile parking for voters who drove to the event. This meant that anyone who drove to the event (and there were many!) had to walk at least four blocks over a large asphalt parking lot to vote and/or find their candidate's tent. Some 10,000 people were expected to attend, but this estimate turned out to be far too low. Some 25,000 people voted, and 35,000 people were estimated to have attended the event. My pedicab is based loosely on the Penang cabs described in Tony Wheeler's book, "Chasing Rickshaws". It has a tadpole wheel configuration (2 front wheels, 1 rear wheel) with the passengers sitting between and over the two front wheels. The cab has three speeds and a rear coaster brake. I'll post a picture and more information on it shortly at http://www.bikesatwork.com/services/pedicab.html I was a little apprehensive about working at this event. I hadn't insured my pedicab yet (I had just completed it the day before), nor had I received the permission of the Republican Party or Iowa State University (who owns Hilton Colliseum) to operate during the Poll. I didn't know if I would be allowed on the grounds, or if I would be thrown off the grounds once I started to operate. I arrived at the Colliseum parking lot around 11 AM. By that time, a sizeable crowd had already arrived, but many more were still coming. Most of the buses had not arrived yet. My fears of not being able to work at the event turned out to be unjustified; the event was more chaotic than I had expected, and no one was really in charge. I first made a loop around the area, making a note of where people were most people were walking from and where each candidate's tent was located. This information later proved to be invaluable, since most people, once they arrived, had no idea where their candidate's tent was located, and I was able to take them to where they were going quickly. I strongly recommend anyone who plans to operate a pedicab for a similar event to first locate all the important destinations (including restrooms and refreshment stands) before beginning. The largest flow of people was from the automobile parking area to the north toward the tents and Colliseum to the south. So, my plan was to ride north toward the parking area, look for passengers, then ferry them toward the tents. Being inexperienced at getting passengers, I felt a little awkward at first. It didn't seem appropriate to ask "Do you want a ride?" to everyone I met on the path toward the parking lot. Nor did I want to just sit still and wait for passengers to come to me, since I thought I'd have a better chance at finding prospects if I kept moving. I finally settled on the strategy of simply riding slowly and watching the people walking by in the opposite direction. If I saw someone smile at my cab or make a favorable comment, I'd offer "Would you like a ride?" This method wasn't always successful, but every second or third person I asked would usually accept. Based on the advice of other pedicab operators on this list, I did not set a standard rate, and worked only for tips. When people asked how much I charged, I replied "Whatever you want to pay" or "Whatever you feel is appropriate". Most people paid between $2 and $5. Not unexpectedly, I
[CTRL] Fwd: Plattsburgh AFB Named Major Mind-control Center
8.17.99 Plattsburgh AFB Named Major Mind-control Center Air Force DEEPLY Involved in Mind Control Projects-- According to Eric Harris's AF Programmer AND Harris Himself © 1999 John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. (Rights of UNALTERED reproduction/distribution waived.) The Air Force--THAT is, those divisions of what USED to be the U.S. Air Force now under control of New World Order global governance masters, seems to have trouble keeping itself out of NewsHawk's press releases lately. We just issued a heads-up to our readers yesterday concerning the fact that KC-135s and other aircraft KNOWN to belong (at LEAST on paper!) to OUR U.S. Air Force are currently engaged in an extremely widespread campaign of continual, all-out, virtually round-the-clock bombardment of the people of North America (not ONLY U.S. residents) with chemical and biological materials known to be injurious to human health--and almost certainly to the health of most indigenous life forms on our planet (cloned reptoid-zomboid-android-Nazoid test-tube vermin such as those overrunning our entire governmental structure are obviously not affected by this most unwelcome crud being showered down on us daily.) We have also made note of the extremely interesting fact that mind-controlled "Manchurian Candidate" perpetrators of at LEAST four of the recent mass shooting nightmares in our country had/have SIGNIFICANT and HARD ties to the Air Force. In just the past two days, these articles of ours have stimulated additional responses from others with knowledge and/or direct experience which further confirms the high degree of involvement on the part of covert Air Force intelligence operatives at specific Air Force bases in the "engineering", programming, indoctrination and training of those unfortunate subjects; picked to become mind-controlled mass killers. A wide variety of tactics and techniques are used in these utterly abusive and demonic programs, which are almost completely derived from the infamous MK-Ultra project, the Montauk Project and related intelligence agency mind-control projects. The "genealogy" of all these evil, grotesque activities leads DIRECTLY back to the death and torture slave camps of the Third Reich by way of the Nazi-infested CIA, NSA, DIA and other U.S. intelligence groups. This is absolute, unqualified FACT. Check the records. These agencies funneled HORDES of high-level Nazi Party members, intelligence and military officers, "scientists" (yea right!) and vast quantities of Nazi technology information databases into the most fundamental levels of OUR United States government: after, DURING and even BEFORE WW2! Two of these recent communications to NewsHawk in fact pinpoint a particular Air Force base which has ALREADY been heavily "outed" by us in our articles ("The Rocky Mountain Horror Show" and "Putting the Columbine Puzzle Together") on the Columbine High School massacre on April 20. This corroborates information from other widely divergent sources regarding bizarre covert activities at this location. The location we refer to is PLATTSBURGH AIR FORCE BASE in northeastern New York State, roughly 80 miles south of the Canadian border. Beneath the Plattsburgh base is a VAST, 18-level deep subterranean facility. Eric Harris, whose father has been linked to covert AF intelligence projects going back nearly 20 years, lived with his family at Plattsburgh AFB for over 4 years right before moving to Littleton. We have previously received confirmation on the Plattsburgh base as (being) a location for severe, horrendous, outrageous and scientifically very advanced mind/consciousness-manipulation technologies and projects from a wide variety of sources: from other victims and from those who were in the employ of project operators. Plattsburgh AFB was by some reports linked in the 1960s the horrendous known Nazi-lover Ewen Cameron, president of the American Psychiatric Association, The Canadian Psychiatric Association AND the World Psychiatric Association, and Cameron's massive abuses in the CIA-contracted MK-Ultra (drug and neuro-electrically-based) mind-control project just over the border in Montreal. Firsthand accounts indicate that this legacy continued at Plattsburgh through the 1970s and beyond to present times with electromagnetic/radio-frequency and drug-based mind control activities tied to some of the experimentation at Montauk. As noted in earlier reports this Air force installation SUPPOSEDLY "officially" closed in 1994. However, thoroughly credible testimony from many sources provides clear proof the base remains quite active years after its "official" closure. Local residents and other firsthand eyewitnesses report that the base, though somewhat deserted, is currently in some level of operation even on the "surface," and EM/RF signal detection equipment verified that top-secret operations currently ongoing in the documented 18-level underground complex BENEATH the base.

[CTRL] REUTERS Yugoslavia Faces Ecological Disaster, Group Warns
-Caveat Lector- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Yugoslavia Faces Ecological Disaster, Group Warns 01:42 a.m. Aug 15, 1999 Eastern BELGRADE (Reuters) - Yugoslavia faces ecological disaster from 11 weeks of NATO bombing unless urgent measures are taken in the worst affected areas, an international humanitarian group was quoted Saturday as saying. The Beta news agency said a team of Russian, Austrian, Greek and Swiss experts from the Focus organization visited Yugoslavia last month and carried out chemical and radiological analysis in towns that had suffered most damage. ``The most dangerous ecological consequences arose from the bombing of the industrial complex in Pancevo, the oil refinery in Novi Sad, the fuel depots in Smederevo and Pristina and the transformer stations in Nis and Bor,'' the team said in its preliminary report. ``Based on the analysis results, the expert team concluded that the release of extremely toxic and carcinogenic substances poses an extreme ecological threat in the FRY (Yugoslavia),'' it said. The report said that some eight tons of mercury had seeped out of a bomb-damaged electrolysis plant in Pancevo, near Belgrade, ``which poses a danger to human health and the environment in the central regions of the FRY and the Danube basin.'' ``The release of petroleum, oil, diesel and artificial fertilizers into the soil and water reservoirs has resulted in the contamination of nearby facilities, towns, villages, water and mud in channels and rivers, including the Danube. This could result in changes in the ecological balance in the region and irreversible mutation in plants and animals,'' the report said. The team called for international organizations to resume their activities in Yugoslavia as soon as possible in order to prevent ``a possible ecological collapse.'' They also recommended that urgent measures be taken to seal off the polluted areas and prevent the transfer of toxic substances to settlements and the flow of polluted sewage water into the Danube. It was the second such international team to visit Yugoslavia since the end of the NATO air war. A United Nations team that arrived last month said there was no evidence the bombing had caused an ecological catastrophe but called for urgent action to deal with some of the damage. The U.N. Environment Program (UNEP) said Thursday it was investigating possible damage to human health caused by NATO's use of shells tipped with depleted uranium during the Kosovo conflict. .

[CTRL] GLOBAL GREENS PUSH FOR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
-Caveat Lector- GLOBAL GREENS PUSH FOR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT A green elite of environmentalists, politicians and bureaucrats is pushing for global regulation and world government to solve exaggerated environmental problems, such as climate change and ozone depletion, claims a new publication from the Institute of Economic Affairs. A number of international treaties reflect this global green agenda, say authors Jeremy Rabkin and James Sheehan. o The Biodiversity Convention, under the pretext of species protection, authorizes increased government control of private land use, and plans already exist to extend its restrictions to biotechnology innovation via a Biosafety Protocol. o The Basle Convention controls trade in waste, scrap and recyclable materials by defining various metals as hazardous, and Greenpeace wants it used to exclude developing countries from global scrap metal markets. o The Convention to Combat Desertification aims to prevent land degradation by giving $30 billion to African governments for anti-desertification efforts; but such aid has perpetuated land mismanagement by promoting centrally planned irrigation projects, subsidized farming and inept agro-forestry policies. o The Persistent Organic Pollutants Treaty being negotiated by governments of more than 150 countries may ban many pesticides, including those crucial to the eradication of disease-carrying mosquitoes in developing countries, such as DDT. The efforts of this green elite are self-reinforcing. Government officials in developed countries, U.N. bureaucrats and their pressure group allies lobby for increased appropriations for agencies such as the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility and national bilateral development agencies. In return for their support, environmental organizations receive subsidies and recognized status at international meetings. Thus, for instance, at the 1997 Kyoto climate meeting there were 3,500 representatives from (predominantly European) pressure groups and only 1,500 delegates from member governments.

Most people have only seen one (from which the film was made), but there are all available online (free) from Project Gutenberg. Not so long ago, word had it that Baum wrote his OZ books as some kind of Populist Propaganda, poking fun at the Gold Standard. Could be, but those who run the Theosophists (and the Illuminatti) are hardly Poplulist. Are they? Recently, Steve Van Natten, editor of "Ballam's Ass Speaks Journal" announced that the Frank Baum had been a Theosophist (Satanista), and his book/s are full of occult symbolism. http://www.balaams-ass.com/journal/homemake/wizardoz.htm But it may be even worse. The page below makes a pretty good case that Baum wrote the OZ series of books for use as Programming Aids in the creation of Mind Slaves -- something the occultists have been doing for thousands of years. You see, the books and the pictures in them work as code keys to trigger various programs and "split personalities" (of which there may be thousands in each body). No space here to go into it all, but do have a look at Van Natten's page as well as the link below. http://mercury.spaceports.com/~persewen/fritzchapter5.htm BTW it is unfortunate that C.S. Lewis may not be so "clean" either. "Narnia" books (and maybe the rest of his work) contain much occult (particularly masonic) lore, although anyone who has read the Prelandria Trilogy (especially "That Hideous Strenght") will wonder (as do I) how Lewis could have been a Satanista. Perhaps he wrote the adult books to win the hearts of adults -- who would then read his TRUE WORKS (Narnia) to their children, and fill the little tykes full of Satanic New Age Poison! Balaam's Ass Speaks Journal has an uncomplementary page on Lewis somewhere, though I don't have the bookmark handy. Comments? Regards, Tsun Regards, Tsun - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

[CTRL] UNDERSTANDING INTERPOL
-Caveat Lector- http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a378a85b76a14.htm ***UNDERSTANDING INTERPOL*** Crime/Corruption Opinion (Published) Keywords: CRIMINALS AT LARGE Source: The New York City Tribune Published: June 6, 1990 Author: Arne Steinberg Posted on 07/12/1999 17:17:59 PDT by Bluegoose With the continuing skewed and non-newsmaking articles out there in today's media boring us all into oblivion like scattered seeds in the wind, more reflections on what the media used to publish. Read carefully, it still has the germ of the truth it had then, and rather than taking us back-- inches us forward in our maddening search for what's going on today. The date this was published: June 6, 1990: === INTERPOL'S ODD EXTRALEGAL ROOTS ALLOW CRIMINALS TO SUBVERT IT . . By Arne Steinberg, Special to the New York City Tribune In April 1987, Panama's Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega was awarded the International Police Organization's (Interpol's) highest honor, a bronze medal, for "diligence" in fighting drug trafficking. Less than a year later, Noriega was indicted by the U.S. Justice Department for drug trafficking. In fact, Noriega once served as chairman of Interpol's Drug Committee, giving him well over 10 years of access to highly sensitive information developed by foreign police agencies, including planned operations against international drug traffickers. The question of how an organization devoted to policing international crime could deal with a known drug trafficker such as Noriega and even honor him is a difficult one, according to some law enforcement officials. "Interpol is something of a legal curiosity," explains the 1988 supplement to the U.S. Department of Justice Manual. It conducts intergovernmental activities, but it is not based on an international treaty, convention or similar legal document. "It is founded on a constitution written by a group of police officers who did not submit it for diplomatic signatures, nor have they ever submitted it for ratification by governments," the report continues. The problem, some critics say, is that individual Interpol representatives are appointed by the various national governments without consultation with or the approval of other members. As a result, they say, governments under the influence of drug traffickers or other criminal elements can choose whomever they like to serve as delegate to Interpol. Each country appoints its own Interpol representative, and we cannot influence that," according to Beverly Sweatman of the U.S. Justice Department's National Central Bureau (NCB), which exists wholly and only to exchange information with Interpol. The issue deserves some attention, the critics say, because the organization, has shown an interest in expanding. The Soviet Union recently accepted Interpol's invitation to join, which must be voted on by other Interpol members at the next General Assembly meeting in Ottawa, this September. A private organization with a world-wide communications network, Interpol's officials do not always act as lawmen, according to critics. For example, Lt. Col. Nivaldo Madrinan, once Panama's Interpol chief, reportedly met with Medillin cartel leaders Pablo Escobar and Gonzalez Rodriguez Gacha at Panama's Tocumen air base, offering them sanctuary after they had been driven out of Colombia. But just 3 months later, in November, 1989, Madrinan attended Interpol's annual General Assembly in Lyon, France, where he sat in on confidential meetings of Interpol's Drug Committee. Madrinan hid with Noriega in the Papal Nunciature in Panama after the U.S. invasion in December, and was one of the 9 refugees left inside when Noriega surrendered. He has since been indicted in Panama on murder charges. Unfortunately, Panama, is not the only country whose Interpol representatives' actions seem unbefitting a law officer. Gen. Guillermo Medina Sanchez, one-time chief of Colombia's 80,000 man Federal Police and head of the country's Interpol office, was asked to step down by Columbian President Virgilio Barco in February, 1989 after an investigation revealed he was collaborating with the Medelliln cartel. He is currently facing criminal charges in Colombia. One of the best-known cases of a corrupt Interpol official is that of Mexican Miguel Aldana Ibarra, who was indicted by a grand jury in Los Angeles on January 31 for participating in the 1985 torture-murder of U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. DEA investigators said they discovered that 5 days before Camarena was murdered, he saw an informant who talked about Ibarra. The Mexican Federal Justice police and Ibarra had reportedly been protecting massive marijuana-growing operations in Northern Mexico, apparently with the help of Interpol's international communications system and

The revelation counters important aspects of the traditional history of the American bomb project, known as the Manhattan Project. The commonly accepted version of atomic bomb history states the bombs were created entirely by the United States, at a cost of $2 billion and five years of work by a battalion of top scientists, with assistance from Great Britain. While the new evidence does not refute American success initially enriching uranium -- the key component of one of the bombs -- strong documentary evidence indicates time pressures, technological delays, and a surprise opportunity to obtain from Germany the needed components that were in short supply in America, allowed the Manhattan Project to complete its bombs in time for the mid-August 1945 delivery deadline. "What I suspect will shock people the most is it appears the possession of the enriched uranium and other components fell into our hands not by capture, but as part of what may have been clandestine negotiations between top Nazis and key United States military and governmental leaders," said Carter Hydrick, the researcher who has spent eight years investigating the events. "The agreement appears to have been made in exchange for allowing these fugitives to escape from Europe and receive United States protection while they lived in semi-seclusion for decades after the war," he stated. Hydrick displayed several documents from the United States National Archives and elsewhere to support his historical revision, as well as drawing from previously enigmatic events in the traditional history he contends have long been misunderstood, to show that Nazi Germany was an important source of nuclear bomb components used in the attacks on Japan. Among the documents are captured Navy cargo manifests from German submarine U-234 that lists 580 kilograms, or 1120 pounds, of uranium oxide, as well as most of the Nazis' latest, and most secret, war-making technologies; including, two fully disassembled Messerschmidt 262 jet fighters, the first jet aircraft used in combat and the only such planes employed in World WarTwo; the newest silent electric torpedoes; and plans and material to build Germany's feared V-2 rockets. The existence of U-234 and its cargo have long been known, and have been the subject of discussions over whether the uranium or any other components found on the vessel were used in the war against Japan, but, until now, no connection has ever been proved. "The first big break was finding a secret dispatch from the Commander of Naval Operations in Washington indicating the uranium was stored for the journey in cylinders lined with gold," explained Mr. Hydrick. "Further research showed that gold, which is a very stable substance, was only used to handle uranium that had already been enriched in order to protect it from contamination by corrosion." Only enriched uranium is fissile enough to make a uranium bomb. Hydrick explained that, at $100,000 per ounce in 1945 dollars, the enriched uranium was well worth the investment in gold to protect it. According to Hydrick's sources, gold would not have been used to ship

-Caveat Lector- http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/pokemon5-99.html - The Dangers of Role-Playing Games How Pokemon and Magic Cards Affect the Minds and Values of Children by Berit Kjos www.crossroad.to - "Who are the strange little creatures from Japan that have suddenly become global super-stars? Most kids know the answer well: They are called Pokemon (short for POCKEt MONster and pronounced Pokeymon), and they have stirred up some mixed reactions. "We just sent a letter home today saying Pokemon cards are no longer allowed on campus," said Paula Williams, a second-grade teacher in Danville, California. "The kids know they're supposed to be put away when they come in from recess, but they're often in the middle of a trade, so they don't come in on time. In the more extreme cases, the older kids are getting little kids to trade away valuable cards It drives a teacher crazy." 1 It concerns parents even more. "Recently, my children were given a set of Pokemon cards," said DiAnna Brannan, a Seattle mom. "They are very popular with the children at our church and elsewhere. I was instantly suspicious but couldn't discern the problem. We have since been told that they are stepping stones to the 'Magic cards' that have been popular for the last few years, which we do not allow." She is right. For instance, any child exploring the most popular Pokemon websites 2 will be linked to a selection of occult games such as Sailor Moon, Star Wars, and others more overtly evil. A click on the ad for "Magic: the Gathering" brings Pokemon fans to a site offering promotions such as this: "A global games phenomenon, Magic: The Gathering is to the 1990s what Dungeons and Dragons was to the 1980s, but with the added dimension of collectibility. Here is the official reference to the biggest new teen/young adult fantasy game of the decade, complete with full-color reproductions of every existing Magic card." THE POKEMON MESSAGE The above websites gives us glimpse of the mysterious little creatures called Pokemon. Ponder the suggestions in this greeting: "Welcome to the world of Pokemon, a special place where people just like you train to become the number-one Pokemon Master in the World!" "But what is a Pokemon, you ask. 'Pokemon are incredible creatures that share the world with humans,' says Professor Oak, the leading authority on these monster. 'There are currently 150 documented species of Pokemon Each Pokemon has its own special fighting abilities Some grow, or evolve, into even more powerful creatures Carry your pokemon with you, and you're ready for anything! You've got the power in your hands, so use it!'" 3 What if children try to follow this advice? What if they carry their favorite monsters like magical charms or fetishes in their pockets, trusting them to bring power in times of need? Many do. It makes sense to those who watch the television show. In a recent episode, Ash, the boy hero, had just captured his fifth little Pokemon. But that wasn't good enough, said his mentor. He must catch lots more if he wants to be a Pokemon master. And the more he catches and trains, the more power he will have for future battles. So Ash sets out again in search for more of the reclusive, power-filled, little Pokemon. His first step is to find the "psychic Pokemon" called Kadabra and snatch it from its telepathic, pink-eyed trainer, Sabrina. With the ghost Haunter on his side, it should be a cinch! But Ash had underestimated the power of his opponent. When he and Sabrina meet for the battle, both hurl their chosen Pokemon into the air, but only Kadabra evolves into a super-monster with a magic flash. Haunter hides. "Looks like your ghost Pokemon got spooked," taunts Sabrina. Obviously, Ash didn't understand the supernatural powers he had confronted. Neither do most young Pokeman fans today -- they cannot understand the forces that have captivated children around the world. And if parents underestimate the psychological strategies behind its seductive mass marketing ploys, they are likely to dismiss the Pokemon craze as harmless fun and innocent fantasy. In reality, the problem is far more complex. MARKETING A NEW LIFESTYLE The Pokemon mania supports a financial conglomerate that knows how to feed the frenzy. The television series is free, but it drives the multi-billion dollar business.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.islandnet.com/~persewen/clones.htm CLONES, SYNTHETICS, ORGANIC ROBOTOIDS AND DOUBLES by Fritz Springmeier PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED GENETIC EVENTS 1890 -- A rabbit embryo was successfully transplanted to a foster mother rabbit's uterus. 1944 -- A human ova was fertilized in vitro, that is in layman's terms an egg was artificially inseminated in a test tube. 1952 -- Briggs King in Indiana University clone a frog. 1970s -- Rand Corporation predicts that "para-humans" will be genetically created to do menial tasks in the future. In a totally different affair, Lord Rothschild, who is a physiologist who has studied genetics, warned that self-centered fanatics might set up cloning shops privately. Lord Rothschild suggested to genetic scientists that a clone controlling organization with world wide jurisdiction to license cloning be set up to protect the world from evil men who might want to clone people for evil purposes. He called his suggestion `Commission for Genetical Control." 1977 -- Announcement of the first successful cloning of a person, which was done for someone very wealthy. This whole affair came under strong attack by the establishment. The book giving the shrouded details came out in 1978. The author went into hiding, and our Congress had a parade of establishment research doctors testify at a hearing to debunk the book and to reassure the public that medical researchers were too concerned about ethics to clone people. The author was convinced of the veracity of the cloning event, although the media/establishment doctors claimed the author wrote the book merely as fiction. 1980 -- Twinning (bisection of an embryo), which is a form of cloning was successfully done with horse foals, sheep and cattle had already been cloned in this fashion in the previous years. 1981 -- Mice are cloned. And embryo transfer for cattle becomes a thriving business. 1983 -- A water buffalo embryo was successfully transplanted to a foster mother buffalo. 1984 -- A human embryo was successfully transplanted and born with a human foster mother. 1997 -- A successful human clone is publicly announced. Scientists working in secret got serious about cloning in the early 1960's. Abortions began to be performed wholesale at this time to provide fetal tissue for their cloning work. The young generation of Americans are asking, `When will cloning of people take place?" The answer is that it already has long ago. An article recently written by Andrew Kimbrell that was placed in many leading daily papers across the U.S. is quite revealing. He comes right up to almost telling people what has been going on. The article was entitle, "Science is about to Deliver." (June 22, 1993) "...most Americans are unaware of the real-life exploits of current genetic engineers, science facts which in many cases are as chilling as any science fiction Pigs have been genetically designed to contain human-growth genes in the hopes of creating "super pigs" that would have more meat. "...U.S. government and private researchers have expended billions of taxpayer dollars in the creation of tens of thousands of genetically engineered animals never before seen One prominent scientist predicts that we may soon see "five-ton cows and pigs 12 feet long and 5 feet tall. "Genetic engineers... have cloned higher mammals, including cattle One writer notes that "genetic engineering has the potential to create a vast army of identical clones, each produced to some preset specification. Canon fodder, scientists, opera singers, all could be manufactured to order..." "The New York Times has editorialized, `Life is special, and humans even more so, but biological machines are still machines that now can be altered, cloned, and patented.'" -- (WOW! Readers do YOU REALIZE THAT BETWEEN THE LINES THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BIONIC ROBOTOIDS -- the robots that are now being created to take the place of people in high places. And the chilling idea that human-like machines will be produced that will not be treated as anything but machines -- that is a chilling idea too.) In this author's September, 1993 newsletter there were two article by this author on cloning, one entitled "Clones, Synthetics, Organic Robotoids, and Doubles" and the other article "Dulce Genetic Research/Cloning Facility." In the month following my September `93 newsletter's release, the establishment came out with stories about humans being cloned. [I felt that this was confirmation that God's had directed me to publish the information I had on cloning 1/2 months before the secular media came out with their stories about the "first" laboratory duplication of a human embryo.] This `93 cloning was the first publicly revealed publicly accepted human cloning, but the truth is that it had already been done for about 30 years secretly. In December, 1993's newsletter I had a followup

-Caveat Lector- http://www.islandnet.com/~persewen/newt_gingrich.htm Newt Gingrich and the Illuminati's "Third Wave" Revolution by Fritz Springmeier For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be made known. -- Luke 8:17 As Edgar Allen Poe explained in his short story, "The Imp of the Perverse," criminals have an uncanny urge to confess their crime. Political criminals -- Socialists, Communists, Nazis, Republicans, Demacrats -- have an uncanny urge to confess their crimes in advance. There's a silver lining to this cloud. This self-revelatory compulsion helps us to forecast... -- Franklin Sanders The Moneychanger I have an enormaus personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet. And I'm doing it. -- Newt Gingrich, Washington Post Like serial killers, the most cunning and diabolical of tyrants always have a plan. Coldly, shrewdly, and methodically, they set goals and objectives. Tyrants relentlessly pursue their agenda, they reward allies and punish opponents, stage dramatic propaganda events, and mandate new regulations and laws -- all in accordance with "The Plan." The Illuminati, as a collective association of tyrants, has been engaged in this process of working The Plan for many decades -- even centuries. After all, their secret master is Lucifer, a dark and powerful schemer who first conspired with other angelic beings against God untold millennia ago. Through the ages he has inspired innumerable tyrants and caesars to attempt a New World Order. Each, in his turn, failed to bring about global dominion, but The Plan lived on. Now, this shadowy Plan is coming into greater focus with the revolutionary efforts of Newt Gingrich and other elitist insiders. Their scheme is for a "Third Wave" revolution. Believe me, it's anything but conservative and is designed to radically change America into a fascist "paradise" with citizens stripped of constitutional guarantees. What is promised, in fact, is nothing less than a high tech prison and plantation of global dimensions, superintended by the "masters."Scripture tells us that, up to now, God has prevented Lucifer's conspiratorial Illuminati agenda from ultimate fulfillment. The final stages of The Plan have long been delayed though God has allowed many dress rehearsals to occur. The French revolution, World War I, the Communist revolution, the Nazi era -- Lucifer's illuminati intended that all these dramatic periods of bloodshed and rebellion would culminate in the end of human history and the ascendance to the throne of world power of their Antichrist. But, it was not to be. The latter phases of the devil's hoary Plan must wait for fulfillment until God gives the word: "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders." (II Thessalonians 2:6-9) Moreover, Bible prophecy (II Thessalonians 2; Matthew 24; Revelation, Daniel) reveals the key signs which are to herald the coming of the end. Those signs convincingly point to this generation as that fateful era When human history is to be eclipsed. Therefore, it is imperative that true Christians understand the final increments of Satan's foul agenda. His "Third Wave" Plan, for so long barred by God from implementation, is now about to see its culmination. The Illuminati Herald Their Criminality in Advance Do we have evidence -- in their own words -- that the Illuminati indeed do have a Plan for achieving their corrupt goal of planetary domination and mass murder? In a recent issue of his excellent publication, The Moneychanger, Franklin Sanders points out that criminals -- and we can certainly include Illuminati conspirators in this impious category -- seem unable to contain a deeply felt compulsion to announce their crimes in advance: As Edgar Allen Poe explained in his short story, "The Imp of the Perverse," criminals have an uncanny urge to confess their crimes. Political criminals -- Socialists, Communists, Nazis, Republicans, Democrats -- have an uncanny urge to confess their crimes in advance. There's a silver lining to this cloud. This self-revelatory compulsion helps us forecast ...' House Speaker Newt Gingrich is also seemingly possessed of this "uncanny urge" to confess one's crimes in advance.

"Sodomy" historically has meant ANAL intercourse, as well as "Greek-style" interfemoral intercourse ("pederasty"). When our tight-assed Puritan ancestors (OK, *my* tight-assed Puritan ancestors!) put their particular sexual biases into law, they extended sodomy to include oral intercourse, which previously wasn't even considered except as a form of "Onanism." THAT is, biblically speaking, "coitus interruptus" or "coitus reservatus", in which the man does not ejaculate into the woman's vagina; however, it came to mean the same thing as masturbation, which the Bible doesn't deal with at all, as far as I know! In fact, if you're accusing Clinton of sodomy, he is clearly innocent, because he was VERY welcoming to Monica and treated her as if she was a member of the harem, er, family... But that's another story. An interesting and informative posting. I only looked it up in Webster, because of what the old preacher said. It would certainly be interesting to get a glimpse of all those definitions the lawyers used at the Jones thing. Most of the time, it's hard to figure out what anyone is talking about. About a hundred years ago, if one said a woman was "gay," it meant she was a prostitute. I remember that when I was in Utah, one school board nixed the Junior Great Books series because the wolfe in Red Riding Hood had a "screw" of snuff. God alone knows what they thought that meant, but it was bad enough to get both the wolfe and Red expelled. Prudy DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Hi Flemming - Important thing is that awareness is spread of facts as in your statement: "Sure, the U.N. is a container of choice for some people who would like to dominate the old civ(ilization)" and maybe ... "Which, incidentally, makes it all the more worthwhile to turn it into something else." If you or anyone wants to try some jiu jitsu on the U.N., more power to you. I just don't want to see the U.N. promoted (as it currently exists and as the planning for it has been made- lo these many years) and sold to the more moonbeams n' starshine oriented as a huggy feelie groovy disney "it's a small world after all" cutesy global village solution to the world's problems. This is what the Madison Avenue type of "opinion shaping" is attempting to place in the consciousness of the TOOB addict, and I see attempts at spreading it on the net amongst the not-grounded nor pragmatically thoughtful of our "new age" brethren. U.N. is up to it's neck in some totally severe fascist "social programs," and my secret fantasy is that IT WILL die just cuz some negative information about it comes to light if enough people were aware of the NWO world dominion activities there'd be an end in sight - no question about it! Only problem is circumventing the controls on free flow of such information, which includes countering their operatives here. I don't see it as acceptable to lend any support or credence to NWO efforts in any direction- if NewCiv is to be associated with U.N., it should be with the clear cut understanding that you and SOME others seem to possess- though I would rather that there be a less fatalistic attitude about (or izzat more fatal ?) U.N.'s continued existance... g U.S. has IDEALLY- an Individually "representative" federal republic /confederation of States form of government- which IDEALLY is all one could in one's most generous imaginations hope for in a completely turned-around "People's U.N." ... and look where this is getting us today ! - even so, I strongly believe that support for U.S. national sovereignty and "patriotic" efforts to return the U.S. government to Constitutionally mandated limits is to be *HIGHLY* preferred over NWO efforts to weaken U.S. sovereignty and to treasonously proliferate weapons technology to the Chinese as the current administration has done- and covering the tracks of the NWO by making it look like it was only done out of a lust for political cash contributions on Clinton's part. My vision of NewCiv and of "trimtab" ala buckmeister do not include becoming part of the elite planning for which area the weather control mechanisms should be used to cause killing droughts or where the next plague should visit ... though I DO like Daniel's idea of pre-empting NWO's unhealthful preoccupation (or should I say supplanting it) with population reduction planning of a NewCiv nature. Economic control and population control are the fundamental issues of NWO effort; from there they filter out into every aspect of human life. If we want to be "trimtab" we need to consider these things, and plot our course accordingly- we need take perhaps a holistic viewpoint of history and humanity and effectively support Individual awareness and Sovereignty as Spiritual being- this will remove the "space" for control freaks.

[CTRL] Secondhand smoke linked to stroke risk
-Caveat Lector- The Philadelphia Inquirer, August 18, 1999 Secondhand smoke linked to stroke risk A New Zealand study found that so-called passive smokers were much more likely to suffer strokes. By Emma Ross ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Breathing in other people's cigarette smoke makes nonsmokers 82 percent more likely to suffer a stroke, a new study suggested yesterday - indicating that the dangers of so-called passive smoking are much worse than originally believed. The study by researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand is the largest and most rigorous to date, and gives more ammunition to those campaigning to have smoking banned in all workplaces and public areas. Current estimates of how smoking increases the risk of various diseases are dramatically underestimated because the ill effects of secondhand smoke are not taken into account, say the researchers, whose work is published in the British medical journal Tobacco Control. That means research into the hazards of tobacco smoke has artificially narrowed the true gap between smokers and people whose bodies really are tobacco-free, said Rodney Jackson, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Auckland and one of the authors of the study. "We've never really had the right comparison group because everybody has been slightly poisoned," Jackson said. Because New Zealand's anti-passive-smoking legislation is among the toughest in the world, it was easier to single out people who have been exposed to secondhand smoke, he said. Two previous studies have linked strokes with secondhand smoke. Studies also show that passive smoking increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack, lung and breast cancer, and breathing-related diseases. The suggestion that studies of the dangers of smoking underestimate the real risk is "an important point that has not been well-appreciated," said Stanton A. Glantz, a secondhand-smoke expert at the University of California-San Francisco who was not connected with the study. The study examined 521 stroke patients in Auckland and compared them with 1,851 randomly selected healthy people matched by sex and age to see the effect of smoking and secondhand smoke on the chances of suffering a stroke. None of the subjects was older than 74. "Half the people who have strokes are 75 or older, so these are premature strokes that should not be happening," said Ruth Bonita, the lead author of the study, who now runs the non-communicable-disease section at the World Health Organization. Anyone who smoked at least one cigarette a day was termed a smoker. Those who had never smoked or had not smoked for at least a decade were considered nonsmokers. Other former smokers were divided according to how long it had been since they stopped. People were classified as having been exposed to secondhand smoke if they lived with or worked in the same room as someone who regularly smoked in front of them for more than one year during the last 10. The fewer cigarettes people smoked each day, and the longer ex-smokers had abstained, the better off they were, but the difference between them and nonsmokers was not as dramatic once secondhand smoke was taken into account. Overall, smokers were four times more likely to suffer a stroke than nonsmokers. But when the nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke were excluded from the equation, smokers were six times more likely to have a stroke. That is a difference of about 50 percent. Also in the basic investigation, people who had quit smoking more than two years before were no more likely to suffer a stroke than those who had never smoked. But once the passive-smoking factor was removed, those people still had nearly double the chance of suffering a stroke. Lifetime nonsmokers and those who had quit smoking more than a decade earlier were 82 percent more likely to have a stroke if they were breathing secondhand smoke. Men fared worse, with a doubling of their stroke risk, compared with a 1.5 times increased chance for women. © 1999 Philadelphia Newspapers Inc. = Robert F.

9/9/99 - COMPUTERGATE GOES TO COURT! Federal Judge Williams has issued an order for Softwar and the Dept. of Commerce to appear before him on Sept. 9, 1999 at 9:25 am for "pre-trial" hearings. SOFTWAR has accused the Dept. of Commerce of withholding documents dealing with the Computer Systems Policy Project (CSPP), a lobby group that obtained secret briefings from the Clinton administration. Documents obtained so far show that CSPP members SUN, Silicon Graphics, Tandem, Digital and IBM all exported super-computers directly to Russian and Chinese weapons labs. CHINA LAB-TO-LAB ON "HOLD" In 1998 the Energy Dept. invited People's Liberation Army (PLA) nuclear weaponeers into Sandia, Los Alamos under the "China Lab-To-Lab" exchange program. According to documents found at the Dept. of Commerce, the Chinese nuclear weapon engineers were from the PLA unit COSTIND. Despite frantic efforts to continue the program, Secretary Richardson was finally forced to suspend further exchanges. "Our China lab-to-lab program was put on hold," stated Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. "We are reviewing it." SEA SNAKE HUNTS NAVY MISSILE BID Sea Snake is in the final hunt for the SSST. Allied Signal sources have been told through Tim Roemers office the Assistant Secretary of the Navy has said the contract will be awarded end of August, first of September time frame. However, the Navy has informed AlliedSignal Target Systems that the "Marauder" proposal for the SSST Target missile has not made the final cut due to the cost of the Marauder target. The Navy has asked AlliedSignal Target Systems to come to NAWC (Navy Air Weapons Center) at Point Muga, CA next week to answer questions regarding the Sea Snake proposal. IRIDIUM BANKRUPTCY LEAVES VACUUM Iridium, the failed space cellular phone system, is in total bankruptcy. ICO Global, another space phone "joint" venture, failed to raise $600 million estimated to complete their ring of satellites. Meanwhile, Globalstar, the Loral space based venture with the Chinese Telecommunications Ministry, is about to kick off. Most investors feel that Globalstar will succeed where Iridium failed. The Loral space phone systems has a larger capacity and uses more advanced CDMA technology over former rival Iridium, thus they can charge lower rates for services. PLA FILLS THE SPACE However, behind the scenes, two space communications ventures in the pacific are turning red hot due to demand. APT Satellite and Asia-Sat, both joint ventures sponsored by the Chinese Army, will post double digit earnings and positive cash flows. Both APT and Asia-Sat have big contracts to provide communications for Chinese Army units and Chinese Army owned defense firms operating in the far east. Chinese billionaire, Li Ka-Shing, is in negotiations with both APT and Asia-Sat for satellite internet/broadband services. Li Ka-Shing, a former partner with the PLA in the of Hughes satellite for Asia-Sat, is said to be willing to put as much as a billion dollars into the effort through his Pacific Century Group. DAIMLER CHRYSLER OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF MISSILE ESPIONAGE The German BND and a German Federal prosecutor are investigating LFK, a Daimler Chrysler Aerospace firm, for possible missile espionage. A LFK engineer is reported to have attempted the sale of advanced anti-tank missile systems to a middle-east connection. German officials would not specify which foreign country was involved in the espionage. USED MIG SALE North Korea has acquired 30 almost new MiG-21 super-sonic fighters bought from Kazakhstan in a three way exchange. The Kazaks have upgraded their fighter fleet with new batchs of MiG-29, Su-27 and Su-25 jets from Russia in exchange for 40 Tu-95MS heavy bombers.

(Rights of UNALTERED reproduction/distribution waived.) The Air Force--THAT is, those divisions of what USED to be the U.S. Air Force now under control of New World Order global governance masters, seems to have trouble keeping itself out of NewsHawk's press releases lately. We just issued a heads-up to our readers yesterday concerning the fact that KC-135s and other aircraft KNOWN to belong (at LEAST on paper!) to OUR U.S. Air Force are currently engaged in an extremely widespread campaign of continual, all-out, virtually round-the-clock bombardment of the people of North America (not ONLY U.S. residents) with chemical and biological materials known to be injurious to human health--and almost certainly to the health of most indigenous life forms on our planet (cloned reptoid-zomboid-android-Nazoid test-tube vermin such as those overrunning our entire governmental structure are obviously not affected by this most unwelcome crud being showered down on us daily.) We have also made note of the extremely interesting fact that mind-controlled "Manchurian Candidate" perpetrators of at LEAST four of the recent mass shooting nightmares in our country had/have SIGNIFICANT and HARD ties to the Air Force. In just the past two days, these articles of ours have stimulated additional responses from others with knowledge and/or direct experience which further confirms the high degree of involvement on the part of covert Air Force intelligence operatives at specific Air Force bases in the "engineering", programming, indoctrination and training of those unfortunate subjects; picked to become mind-controlled mass killers. A wide variety of tactics and techniques are used in these utterly abusive and demonic programs, which are almost completely derived from the infamous MK-Ultra project, the Montauk Project and related intelligence agency mind-control projects. The "genealogy" of all these evil, grotesque activities leads DIRECTLY back to the death and torture slave camps of the Third Reich by way of the Nazi-infested CIA, NSA, DIA and other U.S. intelligence groups. This is absolute, unqualified FACT. Check the records. These agencies funneled HORDES of high-level Nazi Party members, intelligence and military officers, "scientists" (yea right!) and vast quantities of Nazi technology information databases into the most fundamental levels of OUR United States government: after, DURING and even BEFORE WW2! Two of these recent communications to NewsHawk in fact pinpoint a particular Air Force base which has ALREADY been heavily "outed" by us in our articles ("The Rocky Mountain Horror Show" and "Putting the Columbine Puzzle Together") on the Columbine High School massacre on April 20. This corroborates information from other widely divergent sources regarding bizarre covert activities at this location. The location we refer to is PLATTSBURGH AIR FORCE BASE in northeastern New York State, roughly 80 miles south of the Canadian border. Beneath the Plattsburgh base is a VAST, 18-level deep subterranean facility. Eric Harris, whose father has been linked to covert AF intelligence projects going back nearly 20 years, lived with his family at Plattsburgh AFB for over 4 years right before moving to Littleton. We have previously received confirmation on the Plattsburgh base as (being) a location for severe, horrendous, outrageous and scientifically very advanced mind/consciousness-manipulation technologies and projects from a wide variety of sources: from other victims and from those who were in the employ of project operators. Plattsburgh AFB was by some reports linked in the 1960s the horrendous known Nazi-lover Ewen Cameron, president of the American Psychiatric Association, The Canadian Psychiatric Association AND the World Psychiatric Association, and Cameron's massive abuses in the CIA-contracted MK-Ultra (drug and neuro-electrically-based) mind-control project just over the border in Montreal. Firsthand accounts indicate that this legacy continued at Plattsburgh through the 1970s and beyond to present times with electromagnetic/radio-frequency and drug-based mind control activities tied to some of the experimentation at Montauk. As noted in earlier reports this Air force installation SUPPOSEDLY "officially" closed in 1994. However, thoroughly credible testimony from many sources provides clear proof the base remains quite active years after its "official" closure. Local residents and other firsthand eyewitnesses report that the base, though somewhat

-Caveat Lector- - Ashley Rye wrote: - IUFO Mailing List What I'm beginning to more and more understand is that this lower fourth-dimensional level that this group operates from, this "Illuminati consciousness"-we'll put it like that-is the frequency range that vibrates to the emotions of fear and the off-shoots of fear, like guilt, resentment, aggression, all these things. And, therefore, the more that events can be created on the Earth which generate-my goodness me, they do by the minute-the emotions of fear, guilt, resentment, etc., within the human form, we are actually turned into generators of energy for that lower fourth-dimensional frequency range, if you follow me. Because every time we feel emotion, the emotion of fear, our thought-emotional patterns are resonating energy around us and within us to that frequency of fear, which appears to relate very strongly to this lower fourth-dimensional level. Now, where experiments have been done-I think the Institute of HeartMath in America has done a lot of this; it's got an Internet site, it's very interesting-they've done experiments measuring the frequency of various emotions, and they've shown that the frequency of fear is very low, slow. And when we're feeling fear, it is actually reasonating our energy very slowly. When we feel the emotion of what we call love, in it's truest sense, that is a very fast frequency which actually reasonates our energy very quickly. It's like waves going through and resonating the energy, which is just neutral. I mean, thought reasonates the energy. Do you want it fast? Do you want it slow? What were you thinking? What were you feeling? So the more-this is vital to understanding this on a higher level, I would suggest-the more that humanity lives it's life in fear and the off-shoot emotions that come from fear, the slower the vibrational reasonance of consciousness working directly through the physical form. If the highest expression of ourselves, beyond this lower fourth-dimensional "cess-pit" vibration, as I call it, is operating at a higher wavelength than fear, and ultimately at the wavelength of love, what I would suggest is the highest wavelength of all-just like Radio America cannot sync with Radio Philadelphia because they are on different wavelengths-the wavelength of fear cannot sync with the higher wavelengths of love and other states of being. So, in essence, as long as humanity can-in physical embodiment, that level of our consciousness-be kept and immersed in the emotion of fear, we actually vibrationally disconnect and can do nothing else, can do nothing other than disconnect from the highest expressions of who we are. We can't do anything other than that. So, coming to the question, Rick, and it's a very important one, "How do we get out of here?" and "Where are the good guys?"-I keep hearing, "Where are the people coming to help us?" Well, those of an emotional-mental state of being that wish to set-not in embodiment, I mean other-dimensional beings-who are of an intent to set the planet free, they are of a level of vibrational reasonance, as a result of that state of being, in which they cannot connect with consciousness that is in a state of fear. It simply cannot happen because there is a vibrational gap between the two. This is the vital point I would suggest, anyway. It's not that those of higher-dimensional consciousness who wish to set us free have to connect with us; it's that we, in fear, have need to connect with them. And the only way of doing that is through breaking out of fear; it's breaking out of the three-dimensional illusion, the movie screen, the holographic kind of virtual reality game that we're looking at when we open our eyes, and getting into the wavelength of love, in it's true sense. Because when we start to vibrate as a result of that state of being, to the energy of love, and our intent is freedom for all, not just ourselves, freedom in its true sense-freedom for you to say what I don't agree with, freedom for you to live your life-style in a way that I wouldn't live mine-that level of true freedom, that I will stand for your freedom to say something that I disagree with as much as I'll stand for mine to say what I think-when you hit that level, then your state of being

I would say to people: watch the Chinese hierarchy very carefully because people who I trust, indeed, people who have been working on the inside for many years, tell me again and again, there's a China card waiting to be played as part of the process of creating a conflict big enough to turn, in one conflict, NATO into a world army to stop any more conflicts of this kind. When you have the millennium mentality building up of "Come on, we've come to the end of a millennium. Look at the horrors of this millennium; let's start again", you have a global mentality that is very open to change, and there's nothing wrong with that except that if you control the forces of communication to the global mass-mind, you can control and manipulate what is perceived to be positive change, when actually it is only change that relates to the agenda that you want to introduce. I actually wrote in The Biggest Secret about keeping an eye on China and the China card, and the next thing I know they've bombed the Chinese Embassy. Not only that, I think it was Time magazine, about three weeks ago or so, did a virtual whole edition demonizing China as the new monster and danger to the world. So I think we're going to see something like that unfold, and it will all be part of this recurring daily technique which happens in the local area, in the states, in the country, and in the world, of creating problems and offering the solutions to the problems. It is the key technique. If people would only get street-wise to this, they would start to see presidential announcements and terrorist bombs and wars in a very, very different light. I would just end the answer by saying this: The key question to ask in this situation, I would suggest, is: Who benefits? Who benefits from this Oklahoma City bombing? Who benefits from the wars? And who benefits from me believing the version of these events that I'm being asked to accept? And, again and again, when you ask that question of who benefits, the answer is, invariably, anyone who wants to further central power. Martin: What is "The Agenda" that you refer to in your new book? Icke: When you're getting into the lower fourth dimension and this level of it, I'm still trying to understand more and more clearly what the overall agenda is. It seems that, somehow, this lower fourth-dimensional consciousness, entities, whatever you want to call them, have actually caught themselves in a prison. They're in the lower fourth dimension because they are resonating to that frequency because of their state of being. They're into control, they're into manipulation of fear, and anyone who manipulates fear is, themselves, entrapped in fear. And as a result of that, they cannot get out of that frequency range by going upwards, because you can only do that by changing your mental and emotional state which leads to your vibrational frequency increasing, which allows you to gravitate to higher levels. It could well be-and I'm certainly being led in this direction at the moment-that they are trying to get out of that lower fourth dimension, or expand out of it, by coming into the third dimension and working and controlling three dimensionally. Certainly, even if you only take a three-dimensional level, the agenda is for these bloodlines, which compared-this is the point, Rick-compared with the global population, are not large in number. They've expanded out of the Near and Middle East, particularly, but other places, too. And by this manipulation of always being at the top of the pyramids-the pyramids of banking, the pyramids of politics, the pyramids of business, the pyramids of medicine, and all this stuff-they have created a situation in which they sit atop these compartmentalized pyramids and get the vast majority of humanity to advance their agenda without most of them even realizing there is an agenda being advanced. This is the only way it could be done. This is why divide and rule is vital. This is why the human herd, which, unfortunately, we've allowed ourselves to become, actually polices itself by making it a crime to be different.

It's interesting, you know, when I talk about this in my talks, everywhere I go in the world I get applause from the audience. Because I think people are starting to get sick of the New-Age movement, which is actually so often diverting us from and suppressing us from the real truth of metaphysics. And the real truth is that WE, as individuals, are in control of our destiny, and not external forces being in control. And so, I think it's very important, in the years that we are in now, that we start to take our individual sovereignty back and start to realize that we have the right to decide our truth and live our truth, and not have another truth imposed upon us, whether it's the New-Age movement, Christianity, Hinduism, Atheism, or whatever it is, because the whole basis of the control is getting individuality subordinated to the group, getting individuality suppressed by the majority, suppressed by the herd mentality. There are two ways of solving the problem. We can find the solution to it, which is actually not the best way, because for me the best way of solving a problem is removing the cause of it and then it goes away. The cause of the few controlling the planet is people giving their power away and not thinking for themselves and just following the one in front without question. And, insisting-and this is the key thing, stage two-insisting that others do the same, because once that happens, you create a situation in which whoever sets the norms in the world, whether considered sane or insane, possible or impossible, moral or immoral, whoever sets those norms runs the world. This happens because of the overwhelming, vast majority of humanity who have given their power away and given their thinking processes and individuality away, and will live their lives in accordance with those dictated norms because they're not thinking or questioning them. Now, that's fine, that's a choice-I don't have a problem with that. The key thing, as I say, the people who succumb to those norms, they insist that those who don't want to do so should also succumb to those norms. And, at that point, when you have the herd policing itself, and making life unpleasant for those who wish to detach from it, at that point you have the basis, and only at that point, you have the basis on which the few who set the norms can run the world, because you get humanity becoming not just the sheep, but also the sheep-dog, not just the prisoner, but also the prison guards. And only in that way, through thousands of years to the present minute, has it been possible for a few to control the world. So, for me, three things would change this and would dramatically transform the world we live in for the better, because of all that would come from this. Those are: One: as individuals, we step out of the fear of what other people think of us because that is the prison that most people live in. And once you're in the fear of what someone else thinks, you are not living YOUR life in YOUR truth; you are living someone else's version of what they think you should be. In other words, you're in the herd now. If we step out of the fear of what other people think, as individuals, and say, to use the title of one of my books, I Am Me, I Am Free, and if you don't like it, that's fine-you have a right not to like it-but this is me! At that point we cease to be a sheep. And if enough of us do it, we cease to be a herd of sheep. Second: we allow everyone else to express their uniqueness, even though it differs from ours. You know, "What a crime; call the police; my goodness me, this person thinks different than me!" Once we do that, we cease to be a sheep dog for the rest of the herd. Just those two things alone, and this whole edifice of imposed power starts to crumble because the very basis of it is crumbling. And third: the balance point, no one seeks to impose what they believe on anyone else, so all are respecting everyone's free will, so that my belief is not imposed on anyone else. That's the reason why whatever anyone says about me or says about what I write or
[CTRL] Racists Scent East German Poll Success (Retuers)
-Caveat Lector- Racists Scent East German Poll Success COTTBUS, Germany (Reuters) - It took just seconds for the German neo-Nazis boarding a tram in the depressed eastern town of Cottbus to find the object of their wrath. "Niggers out!" roared the 30-strong mob as they bolted toward a group of 11 African refugees. They punched and kicked the foreigners and hit them with rocks and bottles for 20 minutes before fleeing. Other passengers looked away or laughed. Cries for help were ignored. "It was the most frightening moment of my life," said John Omondi, a Kenyan refugee. "I thought we were going to die. They told us to get out of Germany. They kicked us again and again. The tram kept going. No one helped us. They just laughed." Ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, racism in eastern Germany is on the rise and it is becoming political. Cottbus, a fading industrial town 95 miles south of Berlin, has become notorious for attacks on foreigners. Many say they are afraid to leave the hostels set up by hospitable federal authorities to house refugees and asylum-seekers. The political climate in Brandenburg, one of Germany's poorest states, has given far-right parties hope of victory in the former Communist east after failures in the rich west. In a state election Sept. 5, the far-right German Peoples Union (DVU) hopes to win at least 5 percent of the vote to claim seats in the state parliament. Pollsters say support for the DVU has doubled to about 4 percent in the last two months and could climb further. EAST-WEST DIVIDES OVER GUILT, WEALTH ARE FACTORS Western Germans, who spent the decades after World War II in profound self-examination of their common guilt for Nazi racism, have had tolerance instilled in them from the cradle. But their eastern cousins' Communist leaders cast the blame for Nazi atrocities on a minority of right-wing fanatics, a factor many see as contributing to today's greater acceptance among the public at large of racist attitudes in the east. The humiliating collapse of their own state, fueling confused feelings of inferiority and anger, are also factors behind the rise of a violent neo-Nazi fringe in the east. "Cottbus is not a civilized place," said a 28-year-old asylum-seeker from Togo. "They don't like foreigners. I am called a 'nigger' here everyday." A man of about 75 recently accosted him with "Go home nigger," he said. Even frail racists, it seems, have little to fear in Cottbus, a town whose population is in decline as the unemployment rate soars to 24 percent. "The foreigners get preferential treatment," said Kerstin, a 28-year-old Cottbus resident, as she ate lunch at a restaurant in the center of Cottbus. "You see the slit-eyes shopping everywhere. They take our jobs away and get our money. And blacks often cause trouble in discos. They all frighten me. They're always breaking into apartments or stealing cars." Cottbus authorities admit they have a problem but say their town is no worse than other parts of eastern Germany, where extremists sometimes boast of creating "foreigner-free zones" through crude intimidation. "Cottbus has been given a bad reputation," Mayor Waldemar Kleinschmidt said in an interview. "We don't want to sweep the problems under the carpet. We have to do a better job with prevention. But these things happen all over Germany." ATTACKS TOO FREQUENT TO MENTION Xenophobic attacks in the formerly Communist east have become so commonplace in recent years that they only rarely attract media attention. Assaults are far less common in the more populous west, where nearly 10 percent of the population is foreign compared to 2 percent in the east. In the Cottbus suburb of Guben, a 28-year-old Algerian was hounded to his death in February, crashing through a glass door and severing an artery as he tried to escape a racist crowd. In the Brandenburg village of Gollwitz, civic leaders refused to let a group of 60 Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union move into a publicly owned building. The far-right DVU, which won 13 percent of the vote in neighboring Saxony-Anhalt last year, hopes to tap into that. It is spending more than a $1 million on its Brandenburg campaign and posters urging "Expel Foreign Criminals" and "German Money for German Jobs" are everywhere in Cottbus. "It's possible that the DVU will pull off another surprise in Brandenburg," said Juergen Hoffmann of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, a conservative think-tank. "The potential is there. The far-right problem was long overlooked in the east." The Brandenburg interior ministry saysCottbus ranks among the worst towns in the state for right-wing violence. There were five reported acts of violence in 1998 but experts estimate the true number was five times higher. "The color of the foreigners' skin has effectively worked as a magnet for the far-right extremists," police chief Juergen Lueth said in an interview. "During the Communist East German era, foreigners were hardly ever

-Caveat Lector- forwarded Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart 8.17.99 Plattsburgh AFB Named Major Mind-control Center Air Force DEEPLY Involved in Mind Control Projects-- According to Eric Harris's AF Programmer AND Harris Himself © 1999 John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. (Rights of UNALTERED reproduction/distribution waived.) The Air Force--THAT is, those divisions of what USED to be the U.S. Air Force now under control of New World Order global governance masters, seems to have trouble keeping itself out of NewsHawk's press releases lately. We just issued a heads-up to our readers yesterday concerning the fact that KC-135s and other aircraft KNOWN to belong (at LEAST on paper!) to OUR U.S. Air Force are currently engaged in an extremely widespread campaign of continual, all-out, virtually round-the-clock bombardment of the people of North America (not ONLY U.S. residents) with chemical and biological materials known to be injurious to human health--and almost certainly to the health of most indigenous life forms on our planet (cloned reptoid-zomboid-android-Nazoid test-tube vermin such as those overrunning our entire governmental structure are obviously not affected by this most unwelcome crud being showered down on us daily.) We have also made note of the extremely interesting fact that mind-controlled "Manchurian Candidate" perpetrators of at LEAST four of the recent mass shooting nightmares in our country had/have SIGNIFICANT and HARD ties to the Air Force. In just the past two days, these articles of ours have stimulated additional responses from others with knowledge and/or direct experience which further confirms the high degree of involvement on the part of covert Air Force intelligence operatives at specific Air Force bases in the "engineering", programming, indoctrination and training of those unfortunate subjects; picked to become mind-controlled mass killers. A wide variety of tactics and techniques are used in these utterly abusive and demonic programs, which are almost completely derived from the infamous MK-Ultra project, the Montauk Project and related intelligence agency mind-control projects. The "genealogy" of all these evil, grotesque activities leads DIRECTLY back to the death and torture slave camps of the Third Reich by way of the Nazi-infested CIA, NSA, DIA and other U.S. intelligence groups. This is absolute, unqualified FACT. Check the records. These agencies funneled HORDES of high-level Nazi Party members, intelligence and military officers, "scientists" (yea right!) and vast quantities of Nazi technology information databases into the most fundamental levels of OUR United States government: after, DURING and even BEFORE WW2! Two of these recent communications to NewsHawk in fact pinpoint a particular Air Force base which has ALREADY been heavily "outed" by us in our articles ("The Rocky Mountain Horror Show" and "Putting the Columbine Puzzle Together") on the Columbine High School massacre on April 20. This corroborates information from other widely divergent sources regarding bizarre covert activities at this location. The location we refer to is PLATTSBURGH AIR FORCE BASE in northeastern New York State, roughly 80 miles south of the Canadian border. Beneath the Plattsburgh base is a VAST, 18-level deep subterranean facility. Eric Harris, whose father has been linked to covert AF intelligence projects going back nearly 20 years, lived with his family at Plattsburgh AFB for over 4 years right before moving to Littleton. We have previously received confirmation on the Plattsburgh base as (being) a location for severe, horrendous, outrageous and scientifically very advanced mind/consciousness-manipulation technologies and projects from a wide variety of sources: from other victims and from those who were in the employ of project operators. Plattsburgh AFB was by some reports linked in the 1960s the horrendous known Nazi-lover Ewen Cameron, president of the American Psychiatric Association, The Canadian Psychiatric Association AND the World Psychiatric Association, and Cameron's massive abuses in the CIA-contracted MK-Ultra (drug and neuro-electrically-based) mind-control project just over the border in Montreal. Firsthand accounts indicate that this legacy continued at Plattsburgh through the 1970s and beyond to present times with electromagnetic/radio-frequency and drug-based mind control activities tied to some of the experimentation at Montauk. As noted in earlier reports this Air force installation SUPPOSEDLY "officially" closed in 1994. However, thoroughly credible testimony from many sources provides clear proof the base remains quite active years after its "official" closure. Local residents and other firsthand eyewitnesses report that the base, though somewhat deserted, is currently in some level of operation even on the "surface," and EM/RF signal detection equipment verified that top-secret operations

-Caveat Lector- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Belgrade, 16 August 1999 Implementation of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) and the Military Technical Agreement, the current situation and positions of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia The Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, recalling its communications to the Security Council and the United Nations Secretary-General, as well as to the Heads of UNMIK and KFOR and in particular, the positions expressed in its Memorandum of 27 July 1999 relating to the current situation in the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija (hereinafter: the Province), has the honour to draw attention to the following facts and views: 1. Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) has unequivocally reaffirmed the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and, accordingly, defined the mandates and the terms of reference of UNMIK and KFOR. By accepting the Ahtisaari-Chernomyrdin paper and by its consistent implementation of UNSC resolution 1244 (1999) and the Military Technical Agreement (MTA), the FR of Yugoslavia has confirmed its commitment to a peaceful solution for the Province, on the basis of an autonomy guaranteeing full equality of citizens and national communities within the framework of the constitutional and legal systems of the Republic of Serbia and the FR of Yugoslavia. 2. Proceeding from the guarantees of the sovereignty and territorial unity of the FR of Yugoslavia, as well as security guarantees for all citizens in the Province, proceeding also from the inadmissibility of a security gap, from guarantees of the security and inviolability of international borders and an understanding regarding the return of a contingent of the Yugoslav Army and of police forces to the Province - the FR of Yugoslavia has expected that KFOR will in practice fulfil all its obligations, and particularly that it will guarantee the physical safety of citizens and their property, public order and peace. 3. The FR of Yugoslavia is deeply dissatisfied with, and seriously concerned over, many facts unambiguously showing that KFOR and UNMIK have not complied with their fundamental obligations as established by SCR 1244 (1999) and by the MTA. The following facts bear witness to it: In the two months of KFOR and UNMIK taking responsibility for the safety of citizens and their property, by a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing, more than 200,000 Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanians have been expelled from the Province. In these two months, the terrorists have killed over 200 and wounded more than 400 civilians, women, children and elderly people, mostly Serbs and other non-Albanian residents. About 40,000 private homes and dwellings have been looted, demolished or burned, while 40 Serbian churches and medieval monasteries, many of which have been declared as part of European cultural heritage have been burned down or demolished. As many as 80,000 Serbs and other non-Albanian citizens have been intimidated and forced to leave their jobs. Responsibility for that lies with both KFOR=s and UNMIK=s evidently tolerant attitude towards the terrorist so-called AKLA@ and criminal gangs, being allowed to cross over illegally into the Province. The obligation by the so-called AKLA@ and other armed Albanian gangs and individuals to disarm has not been carried out, nor does the past attitude by KFOR regarding this vitally important obligation for the implementation of SCR 1244 (1999) give confidence that it will be strictly and effectively abided by. Statements made by senior KFOR and UNMIK officials on alleged success in the demilitarization of the so-called AKLA@ have been merely used as a cover for continuing the process of stock-piling and concealing huge quantities of weapons, from and via the territory of Albania and partly from the territory of Macedonia as well. Ever since KFOR became responsible for the safety of citizens and their property, the Province has turned into a region of the largest build-up of uncontrolled, illegal weapons, terrorists, the drug mafia and criminal gangs in general, in contradiction with the main intent and basic goals of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) and the MTA, thus posing a wider threat. 4. The assertions by KFOR, made in the monthly report back to the Security Council (S/1999/868, 10 August 1999), that the Serb exodus has slowed down as a result of KFOR efforts to ensure a safe environment, as well as the statements by KFOR and UNMIK officials to that effect, do not correspond to facts on the ground and divert attention from the heart of the matter. Indeed, the truth is that during the two months that KFOR and UNMIK have been deployed, nearly 200,000 Serbs and Montenegrins have been forcibly expelled from the Province in the face of

-Caveat Lector- August 18, 1999 BILL CLINTON AND THE LIES OF OUR TIMES The President's reputation as a champion liar is certainly well-earned and well-known. But this time he has really outdone himself. Here is a man who has recklessly indulged in more overseas military adventures than the past three Presidents combined, with the gall to tell the Veterans of Foreign Wars, in a recent speech to their 100th anniversary meeting, that "the costliest peace is far cheaper than the cheapest war." This, from the most warlike chief executive in modern times. HOW 'AMERICAN' IS THIS CENTURY? Celebrating the American Century as the era of "Roosevelt [Franklin Delano], Eisenhower, [Gen. George C.] Marshall," the Wright Brothers, Martin Luther King, Dr. Jonas Salk, and Eleanor Roosevelt deftly touching virtually all his ethno-gender-interest group bases the President offers "a few reflections of what these 100 years mean for you and for the United States." While ritually genuflecting in the direction of science, and hailing Dr. Salk, our President insists that war, and not science or commerce, is the defining achievement of American civilization: "But if you ask who has been most responsible for making this the American century, one answer would be at the top of anyone's list after two World Wars and a long Cold War. That answer would be America's servicemen and women." No one doubts the bravery and nobility of those who have served their country honorably in war, conscripts and volunteers alike. But to elevate the armed forces to such a central place in our hierarchy of national values is dangerous and profoundly un-American: is the soldier really the one "most responsible for making this the American century," more so than the scientist, the entrepreneur, the great thinkers and inventors? The Founders would have been horrified by such an alien idea: they who (rightly) feared the dangers of a standing army. Like Sparta, or imperial Athens, post-republican America exalts the military virtues above all else, mythologizes the fallen, and worships at the altar of the war god, whose temple is the Clinton White House. It is, in a way, overcompensation on the part of a President whose relations with the military have been rocky, to say the least. But Clinton really means it especially when he lies, as in the following: REST IN PEACE "Today, as we celebrate your centennial anniversary, we must never forget that tens, even hundreds of millions of people, in the United States and all around the world sleep in peace because hundreds of thousands of Americans rest in peace in graves marked and unmarked, all across the world fallen veterans of foreign wars." A FITFUL SLEEP As Mary McCarthy once said of Lillian Hellman, every word he utters is a lie, "including 'that,' 'this,' and 'the.'" The world's millions have never slept so fitfully, and certainly all those untold millions who died to "make the world safe for democracy" must be rolling over in their graves. Far from ushering in an era of peace, their sacrifices have resulted in a world in which the threat of war has never been greater. From the Balkans to Central Asia to the Straits of Taiwan, the flashpoints of global conflict have multiplied since the supposed "end" of the Cold War. In South America. Africa, and the Indian subcontinent, the explosive mix of ethnic, religious, and class warfare could erupt at a moment's notice. If this is what it means to rest in peace in Clinton-ese then peace, like war, is hell. THE METHOD It is almost unbelievable what whoppers Clinton can utter with a completely straight face. Whether he is getting pointers in the Method from his Hollywood friends, or else is just a natural actor, is not yet known. What is known, however, is that he uttered the following without twitching or even biting his lip: MORE LIES "We will begin a new century with a truly historic achievement, for in the last few years, for the first time in all of human history, more than half the world's people live under free governments freely elected." ANOTHER WORLD What world is Bill Clinton living in? No doubt he includes Bosnia and perhaps even Kosovo in this paradisiacal "more than half" the world. Even allowing that such sham "democracies" as Turkey (run by a military dictatorship), Mexico (run by drug lords), and Weimar Russia (run by gangsters), are "free governments freely elected" a very generous concession it is clear that our President is geographically and perhaps even mathematically challenged. The population of China and Southeast Asia, combined with that of Africa's teeming millions, the Arab world, and the totalitarian Central Asian "republics," far surpasses that of the ostensibly "free" world. Clinton's dictum of democracy triumphant is sheer bunk. HOW FREE? Is a "free" government one that is elected? The people, being free, can vote

BOR OVERETO, Italy--It felt like there was a new Cold War developing at a conference here last week on computers, networks and international security, only this time the adversaries are the United States and Europe and the field of conflict is cyberspace. The revelation last year about the collaborative electronic eavesdropping system developed by the U.S. National Security Agency and British intelligence agencies, a system known as Echelon, has become a huge topic of discussion in Europe. The Echelon system can and does intercept "all e-mail, telephone and fax communications" in Europe, according to a report delivered last year to the European Parliament, and further investigations revealed that this capability also covers Australia, New Zealand and other countries. The report's author, Steve Wright, director of Omega Foundation, a British human rights group, was here last week and summarized his investigation into Echelon. "The Echelon system forms part of the U.K.-U.S.A. system but unlike many of the electronic spy systems developed during the Cold War, Echelon is designed for primarily nonmilitary targets: governments, organizations and businesses in virtually every country," states Wright's report, "An Appraisal of Technologies of Political Control," (available on the Web at http://cryptome.org/stoa-atpc.htm). The report was prepared for the European Parliament's Scientific and Technological Options Assessment (STOA) group. Its release in early 1998 shocked European government leaders. * * * The chief piece of news that angered European politicians and business executives was the allegation that Echelon data intercepts are used for economic intelligence, and that the U.S. and British governments pass on this information to private companies for competitive advantage in trade talks, financial deals or contract negotiations, Simon Davies, head of Privacy International in London and another participant in the conference, wrote in an Aug. 4 commentary piece in The Times. This is a particularly sensitive and explosive allegation, as Britain is a member of the European Union and therefore must abide by EU laws and treaties, one of which, the Maastricht Treaty, is specifically aimed at leveling the playing field in EU commerce. Also worrisome is that the "special relationship" between the U.S. and British governments could allow each country's intelligence agency to rely on the other to circumvent national privacy laws, according to Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. When the National Security Agency is prohibited from certain kinds of domestic surveillance, it may get the information from its British counterparts, and vice versa. The STOA report produced a firestorm of controversy in Europe, but got very little attention in the United States, something Wright attributes to the fact that throughout 1998 the U.S. news media was saturated with the scandal in the White House. The European Parliament took the unprecedented step of holding hearings on Echelon in September of last year, just about the time our impeachment hearings were getting underway. * * * A common response among many people confronted with the news about Echelon is incredulity--how on earth could any organization intercept all the telephone calls, e-mail and faxes of several hundred million people? How could that volume of information be processed or analyzed? *** Immense banks of intelligence agency supercomputers search for keywords that are part of electronic "dictionaries," according to reports on Echelon. These dictionaries include words or phrases that are of interest to intelligence analysts, and are used to filter the Niagara-like flow of data into the system. Of particular concern to civil liberties and privacy activists is that these digital dictionaries reportedly contain the names of organizations such as Amnesty International and Greenpeace. A great deal about Echelon and electronic surveillance in Europe is unknown, because the
[CTRL] FBI-Evidence Of Bomb On JFK.Jr. Plane.
-Caveat Lector- EVIDENCE OF DEVICE ON PLANE KENNEDY WAS TREADING ON ISRAELI GROUND By Jim Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Although the mainstream media has attempted to discourage speculation that John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn, and her sister Lauren Bessette might have been murdered, persistent questions arise. For one thing, immediately prior to his death, JFK Jr. may have strayed into highly dangerous territory when he chose to research the questionable circumstances surrounding the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. Kennedy's George Magazine had already run a 13-page article on the possibility of a conspiracy in the death of Rabin, and his interest in the case did not stop there. According to Catherine Crier of Fox TV's The Crier Report, at the time of his death JFK Jr. was planning to meet with high-ranking members of the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency to discuss information about the Rabin murder. It has been reported that Kennedy was also planning to interview other members of the Israeli intelligence community in a quest to find out who the real perpetrators were. Israeli journalist Barry Chamish, the author of Who Killed Yitzchak Rabin, is another person who has noted that Kennedy was treading on dangerous ground before his death: "The day it happened I wrote that JFK Jr. was doing more than any other American media figure to get to the bottom of the Rabin assassination truth." Chamish also points out in an unpublished article a potentially salient point: that JFK Jr.'s chauffeur was an Israeli, and would have been able to place a bomb in the group's luggage prior to takeoff. This would all be just a conspiracy theory if on-site accounts at the time didn't convincingly disprove the accepted version of the crash. That version says Kennedy's plane plummeted to its destruction because of his inexperience as a pilot, or poor visibility. At least three persons on Martha's Vineyard reported seeing or hearing an explosion in the sky in the area where the aircraft was at the time. One witness, a reporter for the Martha's Vineyard Gazette, described seeing a "big white flash in the sky." Oddly, or perhaps not, this information of an explosion has been ignored by the major media flagships. More compelling evidence that a bomb destroyed the plane is the classified "Federal Bureau of Investigation Preliminary Report on the Recovery of Piper Saratoga Aircraft of John F. Kennedy, Jr.", leaked to investigator Sherman Skolnick. Among statements in the document: "The recovered aircraft shows evidence of an explosive device having been glued or affixed within the tail luggage compartment." "Device was apparently activated by a barometric trigger. Radio signals not ruled out." "Satellite images supplied by the National Reconnaissance Office record an outbursting flash from the aircraft just prior to it going into perpendicular descent." And: "Preliminary examination of the aircraft shows residue of an explosive device the Laboratory identifies as being the type used by certain foreign intelligence agencies." Although the major media would like us to think so, the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., like the death of his illustrious father, is far from a 'case closed.'

This libreto was sent to the UK journo's Fleetstreet list. I'm forwarding it here because I know there are music lovers among SPJ-L listers. Frank Nowikowski Buenos Aires Argentina [EMAIL PROTECTED] CLINTON TRAGEDIO AMERICANO (Program notes translated by Rodgers Wood) Cast of Characters Bill Clinton, tenor - philandering President of the United States Hilary Rodham Clinton, soprano - his long-suffering wife Monica Lewinsky, soprano - a conniving little White House intern Ken Starr, basso - puritanical special prosecutor Henry Hyde, basso - a true believer congressman Linda Tripp, contralto - double-crossing friend of Monica's Paula Jones, contralto - a wild woman from Arkansas Sam Donaldson, baritone - a television news reporter The Basso Cabal Richard Mellon Scaife - radical right-wing newspaper publisher Newt Gingrich - a foot-in-mouth specialist Pat Robertson - fundamentalist minister Bill McCollum - another true believer congressman Tom DeLay - a third true believer Congressman Trent Lott - Senate Majority leader The Media Chorus The Chorus of Lawyers Act I Bill Clinton has been elected President of the United States by an overwhelming margin. The Republicans are angry and are trying to regain power. As the curtain rises, the Basso Cabal is meeting with Ken Starr with the object of finding a way to remove Bill Clinton from the Presidency. The opening chorale "We Must Find a Way" (Creato Grandissimo Flooza Scandala) is sung as a sextet. In an impressive recitative, Scaife sings "Where Will We Find a Helper?" (Dredgi Uppa Un Grande Bimbo). The six exit. Paula Jones enters stage right, holding a mirror, and begins singing the plaintive, "Why Can't I Find a Man?" (Mi Schnozze Es Humongo). Tom Delay and Newt Gingrich enter from stage left. They see Paula and sing the duet, "Why Not Her?" (La Flooza Perfecto). They meet and invite Paula to a small cafe where they hatch their plot in hushed tones. Paula tells them of her meeting with Clinton in a hotel years earlier and how her fortunes have collapsed since then. Delay and Gingrich offer to help. They sing the aria "Your Luck Has Changed" (Nose Jobbo e Molto Rewardo). Act II The Cabal reconvenes with the news of Paula's revelations. They sing in jubilation, "We Must Tell the World" (Phono E Tabloido). The rear curtain raises to reveal the Chorus of Media who sing the chorale, "Tell Us More, But Only the Truth" (Sexua Scandala Hypo Per Sweepi). Gingrich enters with Pat Robertson. They sing the duet "He Must Go" (Hypocritti Pious Crappola). Robertson offers to donate time on his television program to expose the charges. At the Cabal's suggestion, Paula initiates a lawsuit.

She tells Starr about the secret tapes that she has made of conversations with Monica Lewinsky. Starr takes them from her and sings, "We've Got Him Now" (Presidente Droppo Pantalone). Starr hurries off to the Grand Jury to call Monica as a witness. Monica enters the grand jury room where the Chorus of Lawyers ask her questions. They sing the recitative, "How did it happen?" (Panti Thongo, La Flasha?). Monica replies in the long passionate aria, "We Were Meant For Each Other" (Non Smoko El Producto, Phalli Symbolo). In the third scene, Hilary and Bill are sitting in the Lincoln Bedroom discussing the revelations about Monica. Hilary sings, "I Will Stand By You" (Su Jerchino Estupido, Mi Removo Su Equipmento). Bill replies with "She Was the Only One" (Non Counti Gennifer, Paula, Plusi Multi Bimbo Forgetto). They embrace. Act IV Sam Donaldson is interviewing Henry Hyde in the Capitol Building.

-Caveat Lector- TODAY'S KEY NEWS ABOUT GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES: Bush Doesn't Deserve Credit for Drop in Texas Crime More Questions Raised about Bush's Role in 'Funeralgate' Bush's Seriousness Questioned Again Dole Attacks on Clinton Administration Drug Policies Are Not Accurate Republicans Fear Buchanan Defection Will Cost Them Election 1. BUSH DOESN'T DESERVE CREDIT FOR DROP IN TEXAS CRIME New York Times: Bush Doesn't Deserve Credit for Drop in Crime; Bush's Policies Reflect NRA's Priorities: "Just as his father, George Bush, benefitted from televised images of the furloughed murderer-rapist Willie Horton to attack Michael S. Dukakis in the 1988 race for President, Bush ran for governor of Texas in 1994 with a series of grainy black-and-white commercials depicting a man abducting a woman at gun point in a parking garage and, a moment later, a police officer draping a blanket over the woman's body. Asserting that his Democratic opponent, Gov. Ann Richards, was soft on crime, Bush promised to get tougher with criminals. That stand helped him win, and an examination of his record over the five years he has been Governor shows he has been consistent in pressing a law-and-order agenda. Bush has presided over the nation's largest prison-building program and a record number of executions. "At the same time, breaking ranks with many law-enforcement officials, Bush has signed laws expanding the right of Texans to carry guns and has opposed gun-control legislation. 'For Governor Bush, gun control is not yet part of crime control,' said Bruce Elfant, the Travis County constable, one of the officials who have come to see gun control as important as fighting drugs and gangs in the battle against crime "How Governor Bush's record on criminal justice, particularly gun control, will appeal to voters in other regions remains to be tested as he campaigns for the Republican nomination for President. In Texas, experts on criminal justice are studying another question: whether his policies are responsible for the state's drop in crime [A]ccording to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, crime had already fallen 25 percent under [Democratic] Governor [Ann] Richards, from 1991 to 1994, as she began the state's multibillion-dollar prison-building program Since Bush took office in 1995, crime rates have also fallen as much, or more, in most other states as they have in Texas. This has led governors and mayors across the country to take credit, even as many experts point out that the widespread decline in crime rates makes it less likely that any one policy can be credited "By nature, friends here say, Bush prefers to avoid taking stands on difficult issues. He is neither an ideologue nor confrontational, they say. But perhaps more than on any other issue, events in Texas have pushed him into defining his position on guns. The first step came in his race against Governor Richards, when he pledged to support the concealed-weapons bill. When, as Governor, he signed the bill into law in 1995, he declared, 'This is a bill to make Texas a safer place.' The bill had been championed by the National Rifle Association, but was opposed by the police chiefs of Texas's largest cities, who were concerned that the law would lead to more violent confrontations between individuals armed with guns and a greater risk to police officers A study by the Violence Policy Center, a gun-control advocacy group, found that since the Texas law took effect, 15 people with concealed gun permits had been charged with murder or attempted murder and 103 with assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon "This spring Bush was pushed into further defining his position on guns when the National Rifle Association, in response to the filing of lawsuits against the gun industry by a number cities and counties, began urging state legislatures to pass laws barring such suits. No Texas city suggested it was considering such a lawsuit, but the Legislature passed a law barring cities in the state from suing the gun industry and Bush signed it Bush went against the police chiefs of the state's seven largest cities this spring by opposing a bill to require background checks on all prospective firearms buyers at gun shows. According to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, gun shows are the leading source of guns for criminals and juveniles in Texas. The bill requiring background checks died in committee on April 20, a few hours after the killings in Littleton, which were carried out with guns bought at gun shows "This month the [Karla Faye] Tucker execution again became an issue because of a profile in Talk magazine that quoted him as mocking Ms. Tucker's plea for her life. Campaign officials have denied the profile's characterization of the Governor, saying his comments were misread. Bush did halt the execution of Henry Lee Lucas, who had received several life sentences in a series of killings, but who,

Jeanne Shaheen has ordered state agencies to charge political campaigns for expenses from the use of state facilities. Shaheen issued the order Friday, after The Union Leader reported that New Hampshire Community Technical College in Stratham spent $4,848 on air conditioning during a visit by Vice President Al Gore last month. "When it came to our attention that someone in control of a state building had made a unilateral decision to incur a state expense, we thought it was appropriate to remind people what was appropriate in terms of political campaigns," Shaheen press secretary Brian Murphy said yesterday. -snip-- "Allowing Presidential candidates to use our public buildings to meet with New Hampshire voters is an appropriate way to promote citizen involvement in the Presidential primary," Shaheen wrote. snip "There is no question, though, that Al Gore is the vice president, and that left us in a gray area," Westover said. "It would be a different decision today, as he has emerged more clearly as a candidate." --snip--- "Obviously Gov. Shaheen agrees with the Republican Party and believes the New Hampshire Community Technical College expenses on behalf of the Gore campaign were inappropriate and should never have happened," state GOP executive director Jayne Marcucci said yesterday. "Certainly I hope this means Gov. Shaheen will pursue full reimbursement from the Gore campaign," Marcucci said.

Here is an items that might be interesting for the Politech list-- it raises issues of de facto censorship of information (and certainly in this case, much of it lies, disinformation and propaganda) from an established regime. AOL removes link to Junta Homepage Free Burma Coalitionwww.freeburmacoalition.org Contact: Dr. Zarni, Free Burma Coalition, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 202-777-6009 For Immediate Release: America Online Chooses, Then Deletes Burma Junta Web Page Dulles, Virginia -- August 18, 1999 -- America Online, the leading internet Service provider in the United States, has made an abrupt about-face. On Friday August 13th, AOL chose the site www.myanmar.com to be linked to AOL's Asia Forum. The problem? The site is operated by the ruling military junta of Burma (also known as Myanmar), identified by Reporters Sans Frontieres as one of the world's "real enemies" of the internet. The Burmese junta jails citizens for "unauthorized" use of fax, photocopiers and computers with modems. Internet service, including AOL, is unavailable to all of Burma's 46 million citizens, save a few "authorized" friends of the regime. Ironically, an email message from Burma's Office of Strategic Services (the secret police) alerted exiled Burmese democrats to AOL's gaffe. The message copied AOL's announcement, which gushed "We think you'll notice dramatically increased usage because of this exposure." Though an international pariah, the junta makes extensive use of the internet to distribute its propaganda. The website in question, www.myanmar.com, is mostly used to lure hard-currency-carrying tourists. But elsewhere the page compiles vituperative articles from the junta-controlled press. Burmese democracy leader and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi comes in for particular scorn, often called a "sorceress" or a "lackey of colonialists." The more than 100,000 Burmese refugees huddled in Thailand are labelled "terrorists," though groups such as Amnesty International say they are vicitms of rape, torture, forced labor and murder. "We informed AOL of the fact that the junta operates this page, and gave them some information about pervasive human rights violations in Burma," says Dr. Zarni, Burmese founder of the Free Burma Coalition. "It looked bad for an 'information technology' company to be leading its users to the propaganda page of a regime that has closed the universities and restricted all kinds of information, including the internet. To their credit, AOL reacted quickly," he adds. AOL informed the Free Burma Coalition on Tuesday, August 17 that "we have removed the website in question from the International Country Pages."

[CTRL] Open Secrets: An Insider's Introduction to Allende's Chilie
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.webdelsol.com/AGNI/ag2-cw.htm A HREF="http://www.webdelsol.com/AGNI/ag2-cw.htm"Agni Essay, Carolyne Wright/A - Essay fom Agni, Web Issue 2 CAROLYNE WRIGHT Open Secrets: An Insider's Introduction to Allende's Chilie I owe my first introduction to Chilean life to Alan Jacobs, a former Fulbright grantee of a few years before. He had stayed on in Chile, teaching high-school history and social studies at Nido de Águilas, the English-medium American school where U. S. Embassy personnel and other foreign diplomats sent their children. By the time I knew him, Alan had already achieved the goal which, soon after arriving in Chile, I found to be my own as well. He had entered as fully into Chilean society--on its own terms--as any norteamericano I had ever met. And he had been (as far I could tell) accepted on those terms. For me he became a bridge to the new culture; and like many a bridge, he was destined to be burned. I met Alan at one of those parties given by high-level Embassy attachés, at villas in the barrio alto--the middle and upper-class suburbs--parties which began late in the afternoon over pisco sours and hors d'oeuvres, and ended at 4 a.m. amidst incoherent arguments about NFL football scores, Sino-Soviet trade agreements, and the shrinking value of the dollar. The occasional slurred reference to long-haired, drugged and dissident hippy youth gave the only clue that it was 1971, the height of the Vietnam War. But why would anyone think of such things here? Santiago was a full hemisphere away from the theatre of war, a city in which peace prevailed, at least for the moment. At all such gatherings, there was the same assortment of florid-faced Embassy officials, graying senior Fulbright professors, mid-thirties Peace Corps management types posted in Santiago. (The actual volunteers were all out in the countryside, living in shacks and eating roast maize and sopa de taillarines with the peasants). There were also spouses of all these, and a few select Chilean businessmen and landowners, golfing buddies of the Ambassador. The conversations were all in English, except among the Chilean wives, who sat together in one corner of the sunken living room in their cocktail dresses and stiletto heels, gossiping in Spanish. In a letter home, I commented with unusual vehemence on the "terrible Embassy party. All those drunken Americans and a lot of phony arty pretensions in the wealthy Chileans, and I couldn't leave until Mrs. Korry went out the door." About Mrs. Korry, I and my fellow Fulbrighters Barbara and Marilyn had been coached by our unofficial mentor, an American journalist named Gina who was conducting a study of the Chilean news media through the University of Chile. Gina told us that diplomatic protocol dictated that other American women had to remain at the party until the highest-ranking woman, the Ambassador's wife, departed. I never again went to these parties, but it was fortunate that I was held up at this one. As I wandered between chatting groups of dignitaries, I noticed a slight, bespectacled fellow in blue jeans and tweed jacket, lingering by the chip-dip table. He had dark curly hair and olive skin; he looked like a Chilean graduate student. I must have appeared as out of place to him as he did to me, because he caught my eye and said, in American English, "It's not easy to find the real Chile here, is it?" He shifted his glass of beer to his other hand to shake mine and introduce himself--Alan Jacobs--before continuing the discourse he had been carrying on in his head. He said he had been reading recent issues of Ercilla, the Chilean version of Time magazine, about the production slowdowns at Chuquicamata, the open-pit copper mine up north, the largest in the world. In one of his first acts as president, Allende had expropriated this and other mines at El Teniente, and elsewhere, from the American-owned Anaconda and Kennecott companies. Alan hadn't been up North for two years, when Eduardo Frei was president and the mines were in full operation, and he wanted to see the difference. "The only problem is," he said, flashing a crooked smile at me, "I don't want to go by myself." Alan refilled my wine glass. I asked him what made him decide to stay in Chile. "It's just started to get interesting here," he said. Furthermore, he had no desire to go home to Phoenix, where his father, he said, was a prominent lawyer. He didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps to Stanford Law and then some cushy private practice. After finishing a degree in history and political science at Pomona College, Alan had come to Chile to study its party system. He renewed his grant for a second year to stay close to the action during the presidential campaigns of 1969-70. Just before Allende was elected on September 4, 1970, Alan started teaching at Nido de

-Caveat Lector- Parents across the South battle mandatory school dress codes By David Hudson First Amendment Center 8.17.99 What do you think? Have your say in The Forum. Picture While many parents of public school students across the country object to mandatory school dress codes, Southern parents are banding together to voice their opposition to the policies. Several parents have formed groups to raise public awareness about the dress codes, which they say violate their and their children's First Amendment rights and are antithetical to individual freedom. Tim Tillman, father of four public school children in Polk County, Fla., has formed the Parental Action Committee to challenge the school district's adoption of a mandatory uniform policy. On its Web site, the group says that its "emphasis will be on countering the continuing attempts of the school board to deny parents their rights to opt out of the uniform policy." "This mandatory school uniform policy is un-American and is fundamentally wrong," Tillman told free! "The children in this community are being denied their freedom of political and religious expression." He says that he and many other parents have hired an attorney and will soon file a lawsuit challenging the school uniform policy. Another group of parents in Wilson County, Tenn., is hoping to raise public awareness of the controversial dress code policy at area schools. Last July the Wilson County School Board adopted a mandatory school dress code policy, which requires navy, khaki, hunter green or black bottoms and "solid white navy blue or hunter green [collared] shirts." The Wilson County Parents Coalition, on its Web site, quotes Henry David Thoreau, saying "Beware all enterprises that require new clothes." Shortly after the school board approved the new dress code policy, Shirley Cox and Therese Harmon formed Parents Against Mandatory Uniforms to object to the dress code policy and the way it was passed. Cox and Harmon now call their group the Wilson County Parents Coalition. "They are taking away our children's right to freedom of expression," Cox told free! Earlier this week, Cox's oldest daughter, ninth-grader Lenai Brady, was given in-school suspension for wearing a University of Tennessee T-shirt. Cox said her three younger children and other students also were punished this week, either given in-school detention or sent home for violating the dress code. Cox says she and the other members of the Wilson County Parents Coalition are hoping to file a lawsuit. "We need to file a class action lawsuit to defend our rights and to make the public aware of what is actually happening here," she said. "When children are pulled out of school and searched simply because they are out of uniform, that is a violation of their constitutional rights," Cox said. "This is a violation of our parental rights because I believe that part of my God-given rights is to raise my children," Cox said. "It is my job as their mother to instill their moral and religious values. I do not want the school system telling them what is appropriate to wear. "Under the First Amendment, as long as you do anything that is not affecting or infringing on someone else's right, you should be able to do that," she said. "My child wearing a UT shirt is not infringing on anyone else's rights. "I am willing to go to jail to protect my child's rights and I am not alone," Cox said. Other groups of parents have taken legal action to protect what they view as infringements on their First Amendment rights. More than 20 parents have joined together to challenge a mandatory school uniform policy in Jackson County, Miss. In Brody v. The Jackson County School Board, the parents claim that "requiring students to wear particular clothing interferes with students' right of freedom of expression and personal liberty." On Aug. 10, the parents filed more papers with a federal court supporting their motion for a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of the dress code. Many of the parents believe that schools are not helping kids by making them all dress alike. In legal papers, Carol Brody, the lead plaintiff in the Mississippi lawsuit, states: "I want my children to experience and learn how to accept and live with the diversity of our society so they will be prepared for it when they are adults." Her husband, Phil Brody, says that "the institution of a mandatory uniform policy within a public school symbolizes a deprivation of freedom." Another group of parents has challenged a similar school uniform policy in Bossier City, La. In Canady v. Bossier Parish School Board, the parents claimed that the school policy violated the "First Amendment right to free speech, free and open expression and religious freedom because it denies freedom of expression in personal appearance and amounts to forced speech and appearance

Henry Kissinger By the end of the 1960s, the polarization of Chilean politics had overwhelmed the traditional civility of Chile's vaunted democratic institutions. The centrist agreements of the past, which had enabled presidents to navigate a difficult course of compromise and conciliation, became more difficult to attain. The American Central Intelligence Agency had influenced elections in Chile dating back to 1958, but in 1970 the socialist candidate, a physician named Salvador Allende, was elected president. In a reflection of Chile's increased ideological polarization, Allende was elected president with 36.2 percent of the vote in 1970. Unable or unwilling to form coalitions, the left, center, and right had all nominated their own candidates in the mistaken hope of obtaining a majority. President Nixon directed CIA to prevent Allende's inauguration through a military coup. One of the opponents of a coup, Army Chief of Staff General Rene Schneider was assassinated, but Allende took office as scheduled. The Allende experiment enjoyed a triumphant first year, followed by two disastrous final years. According to the Popular Unity [ Unidad Popular - UP] coalition , Chile was being exploited by parasitic foreign and domestic capitalists. The government therefore moved quickly to socialize the economy, taking over the copper mines, other foreign firms, oligopolistic industries, banks, and large estates. By a unanimous vote of Congress in 1971, the government totally nationalized the foreign copper firms, which were mainly owned by two United States companies, Kennecott and Anaconda. The nationalization measure was one of the few bills Allende ever got through the opposition- controlled legislature, where the Christian Democrats constituted the largest single party. Socialization of the means of production spread rapidly and widely. The government took over virtually all the great estates. It turned the lands over to the resident workers, who benefited far more than the owners of tiny plots or the numerous migrant laborers. By 1972 food production had fallen and food imports had risen. Also during 1971-72, the government dusted off emergency legislation from the 1932 Socialist Republic to allow it to expropriate industries without congressional approval. It turned many factories over to management by the workers and the state. In his first year, Allende also employed Keynesian measures to hike salaries and wages, thus pumping up the purchasing power of the middle and working classes. This "consumer revolution" benefited 95 percent of the population in the short run because prices were held down and employment went up. Producers responded to rising demand by employing previously underused capacity. Politically, Allende faced problems holding his Popular Unity coalition together, pacifying the more leftist elements inside and outside Popular Unity and, above all, coping with the increasingly implacable opposition. Within Popular Unity, the largest party was the Socialist Party. Although composed of multiple factions, the Socialist Party mainly pressed Allende to accelerate the transition toward socialism. The second most important element was the PCCh, which favored a more gradual, legalistic approach. Outside the Popular Unity, the most significant left-wing organization was the MIR, a tiny but provocative group that admired the Cuban Revolution and encouraged peasants and workers to take property and the revolutionary process into their own hands, much faster than Allende preferred. The most important opposition party was the PDC. As it and the middle sectors gradually shifted to the right, they came to form an anti-Allende bloc in combination with the Natinal Party and the propertied class. Even farther to the right were minuscule, pa ramilitary, quasi-fascist groups like Fatherland and Liberty (Patria y Libertad), determined to sabotage Popular Unity. The Popular Unity government tried to maintain cordial relations with the United States, even while staking out an independent position as a champion of developing nations and socialist causes. It opened diplomatic relations with Cuba, China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), and Albania. It befriended the Soviet Union, which sent aid to the Allende administration, although far less than Cuba received or than Popular Unity had hoped for. Meanwhile, the United States pursued a two-track policy toward Allende's Chile. At the overt level, Washington was frosty, especially after the
[CTRL] The end of Allende
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.reconcile-chile.co.uk/more_information_7.html A HREF="http://www.reconcile-chile.co.uk/more_information_7.html"The end of Allende/A - The official line. No mention of CIA at all. Om K - The end of Allende 15 September 1973 The Economist Editorial. The temporary death of democracy in Chile will be regrettable, but the blame lies clearly with Dr. Allende and those of his followers who persistently overrode the constitution. President Allende did not become a martyr, even if it is true that he took his own life on Tuesday. The bombing and storming of his presidential palace and the seizure of power by the commanders of Chile's armed forces put a bitter end to the first freely-elected marxist government in the west. And the fighting may have barely begun. With most of Chile's links with the outside world still severed, it was difficult to take the full measure of the apparently continuing violence. But if a bloody civil war does ensue, or if the generals who have now seized power decide not to hold new elections, there must be no confusion about where the responsibility for Chile's tragedy lies. It lies with Dr. Allende and those in the marxist parties who pursued a strategy for the seizure of total power to the point at which the opposition despaired of being able to restrain them by constitutional means. What happened in Santiago is not an everyday Latin American coup. The armed forces had tolerated Dr. Allende for nearly three years. In that time, he managed to plunge the country into the worst social and economic crisis in its modern history. The confiscation of private farms and factories caused an alarming slump in production, and the losses in state-run industries were officially admitted to have exceeded $1 billion last year. Inflation rose to 350 per cent over the past twelve months. Small businessmen were bankrupted; civil servants and skilled workers saw their salaries whittled away by inflation; housewives had to queue endlessly for basic foods, when they were available at all. The mounting desperation caused the major strike movement that the truck-d rivers started six weeks ago. But the Allende government did more than wreck the economy. It violated both the letter and the spirit of the constitution. The way it rode roughshod over congress and the courts eroded faith in the country's democratic institutions. A resolution passed by the opposition majority in congress last month declared that "the government is not merely responsible for isolated violations of the law and the constitution; it has made them into a permanent system of conduct." The feeling that parliament had been made irrelevant was increased by violence in the streets (almost on a Belfast scale) and by the way the government tolerated the growth of armed groups on the far left that were openly preparing for civil war. The armed forces moved only when it had long been clear that there was a popular mandate for military intervention. They had to move in the end because all constitutional means had failed to restrain a government that was behaving unconstitutionally. The trigger for the coup was provided by the efforts of left-wing extremists to promote subversion within the armed forces. Two leaders of Dr. Allende's Popular Unity coalition, Sir Carlos Altamirano, the former Socialist party secretary-general, and Sir Oscar Garreton of the Movement of United Popular Action, were named by the navy as the "intellectual authors" of plans for mutiny among the sailors at Valparaiso. The Valparaiso naval commanders were the first to move this week. But the rapid success of the coup and the participation in it of all the armed forces (including the paramilitary carabineros) suggest that the plans for it had been carefully laid. It remains to be seen whether the armed forces are now solid in their opposition to the ousted government. The disappearance of two commanders, Admiral Raul Montero and General Sepulveda, the carabineros' chief, who were replaced by their anti-marxist subordinates on the day of the coup, shows that not all senior officers were in favor of it. The real danger of bloodshed will come if the armed forces split, or if there are serious mutinies among the lower ranks. That could produce a messy civil war. Strong resistance can be expected from the workers' committees and paramilitary brigades that the Socialist party and the movement of the Revolutionary Left are running in Santiago and from guerilla groups in the south. But if they fail to get significant military backing, they can probably be contained. Whatever government emerges from the coup cannot expect an easy time. There will also be a temptation now for those who have suffered from the Allende government to settle their accounts with the defeated side. Few people believe that Chile can now return to its old way of doing things. The work of reconstruction will involve considerable sacrifice, just as it did in

Re: [CTRL] THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIANS DO NOW - By Donald E. Wildmon·AFAPresident
-Caveat Lector- At the risk of sounding anti-male, I wanna say that with the current crime syndicates support of men, believe me men are not lacking for protection as far as survival goes. And this point rubs me. Because, and please realize I don't blame most men, but men probably staged the mind control assaults and implants on me -- thereby causing my lucrative career to shatter (falsely) -- and I am certain in my own mind, but without proof, that men played a very important role in the poisonings of the 4 fetuses I carried and lost to "unknown reasons" (1991 - 1993). Thus, I feel that at least some targeted mc victim-women may have very legitimate gripes and hostility towards men. I realize now that a great many men have at their beck-and-call some very vicious satanic-psycho-torture elements. Now, probably most men wouldn't assault a woman who for various reasons shunned them or personality-wise didn't like em, or was highly successful and they were jealous at the job about it. Not as if all men would actually get involved in violent satanic (psycho-abuse) situations against a woman and pay freemason-psychopathic-curmudgeon crime syndicates to do so. But some definitely WOULD. This I absolutely believe. So -- it isn't as if men aren't acting out, some of them, horrors upon people who they feel jealous towards -- etc. More needs to be said about how this system of "jealousy and envy" and longing for certain woman or to own certain women's power, operates. Cause it may be very very calculated, very well honed now. And very easy for men to maintain their positions of power in society by targeting various women in this scene.

What I mean to suggest, wholly as a theory, that there is a third-party in this thing. Which may be as of yet undefined. And which may be exacting change from one person to the next. Without control of this third force, or acknowledgement of it, on the surface, things appear to be happening as a hate crimes. Although this example doesn't exactly fit my whole concept, imagine that one person is being mind controlled by a govt or outside entity of some sort. And that person perceives non-lethal weapons are being used on them by the neighbor. The victim, unable to prove the weaponry use, lashes out screaming at the neighbor. The victim is being used in psycho-ops mental torture assaults. The victim's behavior against whomever he perceives as an enemy has a third-party in it. And without that known the whole thing can be looked at simplistically as simply a hate crime. There is at least one, possibly two or three, layers of info I am believing more and more, exist in all these events. IF we could stop the mind control assaults on people, we truely might not have any crime. We might not have any hatred. We might not have misunderstandings as to who is doing what to whom. The real question may be far greater to answer here -- that is who is doing the mind control stuff -- and what are their ultimate goals with humanity or societies -- what are their needs? I am buying into the notion more and more that we really do have an outside, unusual entity or force, "handling" all of humanity. Getting this thing in public is awfully important. And I also am believing more that what this is is better known these days than people want to say publicly, is my current take.

Re: [CTRL] Gothic culture
-Caveat Lector- Judith, Last summer I was enrolled in a course dealing with English Gothic fiction. While doing research, I discovered that there is a very lively "Goth" scene in both the US and Europe (especially in the UK). Every year, there is a Gothic celebration in Whitby, England, the site where Bram Stoker's Dracula first landed in England in Stoker's celebrated novel. The Goth kids like to dress up in black clothes and socialize all of it is pretty harmless stuff, but there is a small group of these young people who consider themselves to be 'vampires.' And they're very serious about their interest in the consumption of blood. Through the internet, I came into contact with some of these individuals--they're very creative people, counter-culture types who do not pose a threat to others (at least, they claim that their 'donors' consent to the arrangement). But there is no question of the sincerity of their belief in "the power of the blood." If all of this sounds bizarre to some, I would only point out that Christianity is a religion that places special emphasis on the saving power of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Many Christians believe that the body (bread) and (wine) are literally transmuted through the power of faith into a living Presence. My point is that blood imagery is central to the dominant faith. That certain unscrupulous mortuary businesses might be allowing their places of business to cater to cultists would not be that surprising. Certainly, those of us who research some of the more arcane and occult aspects of conspiracy theory are very aware of how blood and bloodlines seem to play a major role in the thinking of the illuminist elite. Anyone who has studied Nazism (and their offshoot here in the US, namely, the Christian Identity movement) cannot help but be aware of the centrality of the issue of blood. It has any number of different mystical and horrific associations, from the Horst Wessel song (...Jewish blood will flow...) to Wagner's Parsifal (..search for the Grail)--not to mention "the Spear of Destiny." Of course, the REAL belief system of the Third Reich was kept from the American public both during and after World War Two. It was argued then that if the American people really knew some of the psychological and spiritual dynamics of Nazism they would become mentally unbalanced; so, for our own good, much of the occult activities of the Third Reich were never made public. But as David Icke and a host of other researchers argue, the dark forces that gave rise to Nazism didn't disappear. They're still with us today. And if that is true, then it makes perfect sense for us not to be lulled into an attitude of complacency about what appears to be a resurgence of a dark, atavistic force within the collective American consciousness. Of course, the Goth kids are just having fun dressing up in black and cavorting with cemeteries, and most of them claim that they have nothing to do whatsoever to do with Satanism. Certainly, the Goth phenomenon is a part of the counterculture. In a certain sense, it represents a critique of what the kids rightly see as a civilization that is truly on a death trip of sorts. Still, in all of the spooky fun, the kids are definitely tuning into a wave length that is definitely THERE... at some inner level of knowing, perhaps on a subconscious level, the kids are articulating on a symbolic level what they sense to be true about our system. We're on a death trip and our "leaders" do not have our best interests at heart. Images of death, the tomb, skull and bones--all of these things express truths about our social, political, even spiritual existence that we probably prefer to push out of our consciousness. And I have no doubt that if we were to delve into the labryinth of the inner selves of our leaders, we would find realities that are very "dark" indeed. That's why in order to save ourselves and our children, we need to practice what my Native American Cherokee ancestors called "good medicine" in order to reverse the perverse "spells" of the Illuminists. What is that good medicine? Just simple timeless stuff that has always served our ancestors well: faith, hope, love, charity and brotherhood. Or as we used to say back in the days of my generation, the sixties, we need to let the sunshine in! Peace, Love, Shalom, Shanti, :) William "Love and politics are the two extremes of human relations, the public and the intimate, the plaza and the alcove, the group and the couple. Because of this, the multiplication of forced labor camps and the threat of atomic extermination are inseparable from the crisis of love in the twentieth century. They are symptoms of the same illness. If our world is to recover its health, the cure should be dual: Political regeneration includes the resurrection of love." Octavio Paz On Wed, 18 Aug

Re: [CTRL] LA Times- War On Drugs Cover For Military Ops?
-Caveat Lector- USA WOD WAS THE COVER FOR GENOCIDE HERE. William Shannon wrote: -Caveat Lector- Tuesday, August 17, 1999 Concerns Grow About U.S. Military Aid to Colombia Controversy: American officials insist the aim is to fight drugs. Critics fear agenda includes battling rebels. By JUANITA DARLING, RUTH MORRIS, Special to The Times OGOTA, Colombia--Back in 1982, when U.S. leaders feared communism more than cocaine, then-Vice President George Bush attended the inauguration here of President Belisario Betancur and offered to build him a U.S. military base to keep an eye on his country's leftist insurgents, according to a Colombian official of that era. Wary of such a high-profile U.S. presence, Betancur demurred, but he did agree to let the Americans install radar stations for surveillance. By 1990, relations were cordial enough that a group of U.S. military advisors reviewed Colombia's military intelligence organizations and recommended changes. Hundreds more soldiers, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and CIA and Drug Enforcement Administration agents have since followed them to Colombia. Today, Americans assist in operating five radar stations to monitor Colombia, fly drug-eradicating crop dusters and are helping redesign the Colombian army into a more effective drug-fighting force. They even pilot spy planes like the one that crashed into a Colombian mountain last month, killing all seven crew members, including five U.S. Army aviators. The crash of that plane has raised questions about what exactly 200 or more Department of Defense employees--both civilian and military--are doing in Colombia. And that's not counting the unknown number of CIA and DEA agents. Are they here to combat drugs, or are they harbingers of another U.S. venture into an intractable war with Marxist guerrillas? And what happens to the information gleaned by U.S. spies? The standard answer from U.S. military officials is that most of these Americans are involved in training missions and that none are involved in combating the Marxist guerrillas who have been fighting the Colombian government for more than three decades. The number is unusually high now--283 on Aug. 10--because of investigations into last month's crash of the De Havilland RC-7, said Lt. Col. Bill Darley, a Pentagon spokesman. On top of that, 1,000 U.S. Marines arrived Thursday for a previously scheduled training exercise on the Pacific Coast. "We do have Americans in the field, probably out fighting, but those guys are not with the Department of Defense," he said. "They are DEA" agents, he said, and refused to comment further. "Two hundred people scattered over a country . . . is not that much," Darley said. He contrasted that number with the 5,000 U.S. soldiers sent to Central America to help with disaster relief after Hurricane Mitch struck in October. In a press briefing in Washington on his return Monday from a trip to Colombia, Undersecretary of State Thomas R. Pickering dismissed the possibility that more U.S. troops will be deployed to this country. "That is not our policy," he said. "It is a crazy idea." In fact, he added, until Colombia makes significant new progress in fighting the drug threat, the United States is unlikely to increase its counter-narcotics aid. Analysts Recall Denials Regarding El Salvador But those answers do not satisfy many political and human rights analysts, who recall that until 1996, the Pentagon also denied that the U.S. military advisors in El Salvador--officially never more than 55 at a time--were involved in combat against the country's leftist guerrillas during the 1980s. Such concerns have been heightened as U.S. officials point to the strong ties between rebels and drug traffickers to justify the growth in U.S. anti-narcotics assistance to Colombia. Colombia's insurgents get an estimated $600 million a year in "taxes" on opium poppies and coca--the raw material for cocaine--grown in territory under their control. Colombia supplies about three-fourths of the cocaine and a growing share of the heroin consumed in the United States. To curb that supply, the United States has budgeted $289 million in anti-narcotics aid for Colombia this year, with the restriction that the money is not to be used to fight Colombian rebels. U.S. officials insist that careful logs are kept to enforce that rule, but the logs are not made public. About 90% of U.S. aid is given to the Colombian national police, because the army's poor human rights record makes most of its units ineligible for assistance. Increased U.S. involvement in Colombia, said Teofilo Vasquez, a researcher at the Center for Research and Popular Education, a group here in the Colombian capital that studies human rights issues, "is simply adding another factor to the violence so that the war in this country will

[CTRL] Fwd: DRUDGE-REPORT-EXCLUSIVE 8/18/99
X DRUDGE REPORT X WED, AUGUST 18, 1999 20:58:09 ET X BUSH ANSWERS 'DRUG QUESTION' George W. Bush gives in and answers a drug question. Gov. Bush tells Thursday's DALLAS MORNING NEWS that he has not used drugs in the last seven years. According to publishing sources, Bush's statement came in response to a question from the paper about whether, as president, he would insist that his appointees answer drug-use questions contained in the standard FBI background check. "As I understand it, the current form asks the question, 'Did somebody use drugs within the last seven years?' and I will be glad to answer that question, and the answer is 'No,'" Bush told the NEWS in a report set for publication. Bush would go back further than 7 years but he told the paper that it is important the White House is a drug-free zone. "It's important that the president be assured that people are not using drugs on the White House staff," Bush explained. "It's a legitimate question to ask to make sure there are no drug users on the White House staff." X X X X X NEXT RUMOR TO HIT BUSH: ABORTION Here we go again. Now that Bush has answered a 'drug' question, the next wave of George W. Bush rumors will involve: abortion. From senior White House staffers, to editors in Tabloid Valley, Florida, stories have been swirling in recent weeks about Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush -- and a possible abortion. "A question should be asked of George W. Bush and these candidates, 'Have you ever caused an abortion to happen,'" NEW YORK OBSERVER's Joe Conason declared on MSNBC Wednesday evening. Conason has been talking to White House friends who have been telling tabloid reporters who -- surprise -- have already been put on the 'abortion hunt' by their editors. Conason's outburst on Wednesday should be viewed like a coming attraction preview for the next Hollywood hype project. "Somebody floats a rumor and causes you to ask a question, and that's the game in American politics. I refuse to play it," an obviously irritated Bush said. "That is a game. And you just fell for the trap. I refuse to play it." Bush also accused unidentified political opponents of planting drug questions. "I know they're being planted," he said, refusing to elaborate. "They're ridiculous and absurd and the people of America are sick and tired of this kind of politics... and reporters asking these types of questions." But sharks respond to kicking. And the press is ready for new feeding. X X X X X STARR OUT BY OCTOBER Ken Starr will be quitting as early as October, the NEW YORK TIMES is reporting Thursday editions. On the day that the three judge panel voted 2 to 1 to continue the five year old investigation, Starr associates told TIMES scribes Neil Lewis and David Johnston that Starr will clean out his office and head back to the private sector as soon as he puts "his personal stamp on a final report" summarizing the findings of his inquiries. But Thursday's WASHINGTON POST reports that there is more than just a "final report" -- left to complete. Starr informed the judges that "considerable work remains" to be done in his investigation of Clinton administration scandals, the WASHINGTON POST is reporting in Thursday runs, including "decisions on whether to proceed with possible indictments on matters so closely related to the White House that the inquiries could not be turned over to the Justice Department without raising a clear conflict of interest." Starr has told associates he expects to return to his job as a partner at the Washington office of Kirkland Ellis. Developing...

"Military experts say that history is a witness to the fact that China would never retreat because of U.S. intervention," said the CHINA BUSINESS TIMES, an official newspaper.

[CTRL] Beijing: Taiwan's Mr. Lee is a 'deformed test-tube baby.'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=001863356114602rtmo=au55ThCJatmo= pg=/et/99/8/19/wtai19.html ISSUE 1546 Thursday 19 August 1999 Taiwan looks for protection under US missile shield By David Rennie in Beijing PRESIDENT LEE TENG-HUI of Taiwan said yesterday that his island needed the protection of a proposed US-Japanese "Star Wars"-style anti-missile shield. His backing for the programme, the Theatre Missile Defence system, will further enrage Beijing, which is already furious at Mr Lee's recent call for Taiwan to be treated as an equal by the Chinese mainland. Beijing, which regards the island as a rebel province, has denounced the TMD project as an American-led plot to dominate Asia. In the face of heightened military threats from the mainland, Mr Lee said yesterday: "Setting up a TMD system would cope with the current situation and be in the nation's interest. Every effort [for the system] deserves praise." On Monday, US and Japanese officials signed an agreement to research the satellite-linked TMD project amid fears that North Korea is preparing to test a new long-range missile. The ship-based system could easily be extended to cover the island. America is sworn to defend Taiwan in the event of an attack. But Mr Lee's public enthusiasm for TMD puts President Clinton in a tricky position. Washington has, to date, failed to back Taipei in its latest row with Beijing, choosing to maintain the diplomatic formula that there is only "one China". Meanwhile, the mainland's official Liberation Army Daily warned its readers yesterday that Taiwan was armed to the teeth with the latest Western weapons. Analysts saw the warning as an attempt, in part, to play down feverish domestic expectations that Beijing might be poised to take military action against Taiwan. The state media have been filled for weeks with pictures of troops storming beaches and denunciations of Mr Lee as a "historic criminal" and deformed "test-tube baby". Mr Lee is seen to be pushing the debate with Beijing as far as he can before he retires after elections next March. The mainland media have concentrated their attacks on him in person, rather than on the Taipei authorities, in the hope that the sabre-rattling will cause other politicians to abandon him. Although heavily armed, both Beijing's and Taipei's military suffer from poor training. A Taiwanese pilot ejected safely as his US-made F-16 fighter crashed yesterday - the fourth such accident in 17 months. The latest incident led to the grounding of Taiwan's F-16 fleet, pending investigations. China's air force is equally disaster-prone, while its navy has had to ask Moscow for "advisers" to help crew four advanced Russian-built submarines. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=001863356114602rtmo=au55ThCJatmo= pg=/et/99/8/19/wtai19.html America, Mark Twain once said, is a nation without a distinct criminal class "with the possible exception of Congress."

Re: [CTRL] On the Veracity and Variability of Traumatic Memory
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Below please find an article dealing with traumatic memory. Sincerely, Neil Brick Excerpts from : http://rdz.stjohns.edu/trauma/art3v2i2.html On the Veracity and Variability of Traumatic Memory Jacobs, W. J., Laurance, H. E., Thomas, K. G. F., Luzcak, S. E. Nadel, L. (1996). University of Southern California, Seeley G. Mudd Building, #501, Department of Psychology, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1061. Traumatology, [On-Line] 2,2. Available: http://rdz.stjohns.edu/trauma/art3v2i2.html Thomas, Laurance, Jacobs, and Nadel (1995) summarized a neurobiologically based model of memory that 1) predicts temporary functional amnesia under traumatically stressful conditions; 2) predicts recovery of emotional memories laid down during functional amnesia; and 3) predicts that the accuracy of recovered traumatic memories varies in a systematic manner (see also Jacobs Metcalfe, in review; Jacobs Nadel, 1985, in press, in review; Nadel Jacobs, in press). The model, which is based on findings from modern cognitive neuroscience, also provides a neurobiologically sound alternative to the psychodynamic concept of repression. The model focuses on two neuroanatomically separable memory systems, each with its own properties and developmental profile: a "hot" memory system with the amygdala as its centerpiece, and a "cool" memory system with the hippocampus as its centerpiece. The amygdala-based system is critical for the conditioning and retention of emotion itself; the hippocampus-based system is critical for the conditioning and retention of spatiotemporal context (Jacobs Metcalfe, in review; see also Davis, 1992; Davis, Rainnie, Cassell, 1994; Kim Fanselow, 1992; LeDoux, 1992, 1994; Nadel O'Keefe, 1974; O'Keefe Nadel, 1978; Phillips LeDoux, 1992). The model assumes that psychopathology develops when there are dissociations between these (and other) memory systems (Nadel Jacobs, in press). At a physiological level, dissociation may occur because of increases in concentrations of glucocorticoids released during stress. Glucocorticoids differentially affect the physiology of the amygdala and hippocampus. Activity in the amygdala increases as glucocorticoid concentrations increase (LeDoux, 1993; McGaugh, 1992; McGaugh et al., 1993; Swanson Simmons, 1989). In contrast, activity in the hippocampus initially increases but then dramatically diminishes as glucocorticoid concentrations increase (de Kloet, Oitzl, Jo=89ls, 1993). By the model, activity in the relevant structures is one determinant of memory encoding (including consolidation). Thus, increasing stress enhances coding of emotional memory but disrupts coding of spatiotemporal context. Under traumatic stress, emotional memories are laid down without a significant contribution from the hippocampal system. This produces a pool of stimulus-bound emotional memories that have been encoded without a coherent event-specific spatiotemporal frame to organize them. This pool is, essentially, a population of traumatic memory fragments. Upon retrieval, traumatic memories cannot be experienced as a memorial event with a beginning, end, and internal spatiotemporal structure. Instead, each emotional memory is experienced as fragmented, disorganized, and intrusive (Thomas et al., 1995). ... all true traumatic memoriesare recovered in the sense of being reconstructed from memory fragments. In some cases, the person will construct a narrative immediately; in others, there will be a time lag between the traumatic experience(s) and narrative construction. The model anticipates no differences in the base characteristics of immediate or "recovered" traumatic memories. A pool of emotional memories might consist of many similar fragments (little variability), many different fragments (wide variability), and may be normally distributed, skewed, or multimodal. Because emotional memories are laid down and retrieved as fragments, we might think of the retrieved material as equivalent to a limited random draw from a pool of numbers. Once drawn, we assume they will be integrated within an ongoing spatiotemporal frame of reference and stabilized, partly through narrative construction What have we observed in the clinic and naturalistically? First, there are many reported cases of trauma-induced amnesia (e.g., Kaszniak, Nussbaum, Berren, Santiago, 1988; Williams, 1994, 1995). Second, there are reported cases of recovered memory of events that occurred during trauma-induced amnesia (e.g., Grinker Spiegel, 1945; Kaszniak et al., 1988; Williams, 1994, 1995). Third, there are cases in which the veracity of such memory has been determined (e.g., Williams, 1994). Fourth, there are reported cases of recovered memory that are completely (but innocently) confabulated,

But only FNC found it worth a story. 3) A federal judge ordered the government to pay a $625,000 fine because the Clinton administration failed to comply with his order to produce documents, but ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC ignored him. 4) Not a syllable yet on network television about Clinton's decision last week to pardon 16 Puerto Rican terrorists. 5) "America Under the Gun" announced Newsweek's cover for an issue crusading against guns and featuring a rare editorial blast. 6) Charlie Gibson appeared to nod off during Tuesday's Good Morning America, but ABC denied he did.

CBS's news judgment is no surprise since the Post story matched the claims Lee made in a 60 Minutes profile last month. CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson explained: "New doubts are being cast on the government's case against Wen Ho Lee, the only person accused in the spy scandal at the nation's nuclear weapons labs. A former top investigator in the case claims there's no proof Lee gave away nuclear secrets while working as a scientist at Los Alamos. Robert Vrooman, who headed counter-intelligence at the lab, told the Washington Post there's not a shred of evidence' that Lee passed secrets to China and that race was a major factor' in naming Lee the prime suspect. In an exclusive interview with 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace, Lee also claimed investigators unfairly targeted him because of his heritage." After a clip of Lee, Attkisson showcased Henry Tang of the Committee of 100 who characterized the investigation as a "racist witch hunt." 2) An upcoming General Accounting Office (GAO) report will document how Clinton administration indifference to security issues extends beyond the Energy Department to the Defense Department, USA Today disclosed on Monday, but the networks weren't interested. ABC's Good Morning America gave the revelation a few seconds in a Monday morning news brief and, MRC analyst Brad Wilmouth informed me, it got a full story from James Rosen on FNC's Fox Report Monday night. But not a word on the other evening or morning shows, not even CNN's Inside Politics. Here's an excerpt of the August 16 story on the front page of USA Today by Edward T. Pound headlined, "Report: 92% of security probes lax: Pentagon 'created risks,' congressional agency says." In a stinging draft report, a congressional agency says the Defense Department has "created risks to national security" by failing to conduct thorough security background investigations on personnel requiring access to classified information. Nine out of every 10 security investigations reviewed by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, were found to have been incomplete, according to government officials familiar with the preliminary report. The officials say the GAO reviewed 531 background investigations and found that 488, or 92%, did not fully meet federal investigative standards. In 59 cases, or 12%, the Defense Department failed to follow leads on potentially serious issues involving criminal histories, alcohol and drug use, and financial problems, the GAO reported. The figures could change. The GAO will issue its final report in October, and officials declined to comment, except to say their analysis is continuing. Background checks are made by the Defense Security Service and are essential to keeping the nation's secrets out of the wrong hands. The service conducts 120,000 inquiries each year on people needing top-secret and secret clearances. They include military and civilian personnel in the Defense Department and defense contractor employees The officials say the GAO blames many problems on poor management during the past three years.

-Caveat Lector- JUDICIAL WATCH, INC.PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Tom Fitton August 18, 1999 (202) 646-5172 JUDICIAL WATCH FILES COMPLAINT v. WAXMAN California Democrat Alleged to Have Obstructed Chinagate Investigations and Conspired With Clinton White House In Treasonous Activity Waxman Also May Be Behind IRS Audits of Clinton Critics (Washington, August 18, 1999) -- Today, Judicial Watch will file a complaint before the House Ethics Committee, alleging, based on information disclosed by Johnny Chung, and expanded upon by The Washington Times, that Democrats, led by Congressman Henry Waxman of California, have obstructed Congressional investigations into Chinagate. Based on recent reports, Congressman Waxman also may be linked to a scheme to use the Internal Revenue Service to audit, harass and harm critics of the Clinton Adminisration. Judicial Watch will also ask the House Ethics Committee to look into this as well. Judicial Watch takes a particular interest in Congressman Waxman because of its California office in San Marino. If Judicial Watch is to represent the interests of Californians and Westerners, as well as all Americans, it cannot turn a blind eye to the conduct of Congressman Waxman and his friends. ### = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, 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. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
