[CTRL] Bright Star
-Caveat Lector- Egypt, U.S. Ready For War Games CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - U.S. tanks, trucks and troops headed ashore Sunday along Egypt's Mediterranean coast, readying for war games involving more than 50,000 members of armed forces from 11 nations. The Bright Star military exercises, held every two years, give nations a chance to get familiar with each other's equipment, tactics and training - then put them to the test. Some of the 18,000 U.S. troops involved began arriving with their equipment Sunday near the coastal city of Alexandria. Maneuvers, which formally begin Friday and wrap up Nov. 1, include an amphibious landing, missile practice and field combat training. For the first time, Bright Star will also include a computer-aided command exercise intended to quickly transfer satellite images and other strategic information to commanders in the battlefield. ``Everyone thinks if you put enough guns there and you put enough troops there, you're going to win. But you have to have good command and control,'' said Maj. Joe LaMarca, a U.S. spokesman for the exercises. Bright Star military maneuvers began in 1981 and originally involved only the United States and Egypt. This year, Germany, Greece, Jordan and the Netherlands are participating for the first time, LaMarca said. The others involved are Britain, France, Italy, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

[CTRL] The Secrets of Thoth and The Keys of Enoch
-Caveat Lector- --===The Secrets of Thoth and The Keys of Enoch===-- By Paul White *Just after the Deluge, at the dawn of the present time cycle, an era the Egyptians called ZEP TEPI, "The First Times", a mysterious group of "gods" appeared, to initiate the survivors in the rudiments of civilisation. From Thoth and Osiris in Egypt, to Quetzacoatal and Viracocha in the Americas, traditions worldwide subscribe the origins of contemporary civilisation to this sophisticated group*. Despite the misleading popularity of Von Danikan journalism, evidence from around the world, indicates these people were the hi-tech survivors of the previous civilisation. Like the nuclear survival bunkers and secret research facilities of our own civilisation, there were those who arose from the underground "cities of the Gods", after the dust settled. They were the "prediluvian patriarchs", like Enoch and Methuselah, the "giants and heroes of old", mentioned in Genesis. The enigmatic gods of ancient Summer, Egypt and India, all hail from the fabulous times before the Flood. Since the declassification of the new ground-penetrating radar 2 years ago, the most staggering data has emerged of complex and labyrinthine underground systems in various parts of the world. At places like Guatemala in the South Americas, tunnels have been mapped under the Mayan pyramid complex at Tikal, which extend a full 800 kilometres to the opposite side of the country. Investigators remarked, it was possible to understand how half a million Mayan Indians escaped the decimation of their culture. In similar fashion, the SIRA radar was deployed in Egypt as early as 1978, mapping an extraordinary subterranean complex beneath the Egyptian pyramids. Arrangements made with President Sadat of Egypt, resulted in three decades of top secret excavations to penetrate the system. At a recent meeting in Australia, one of the key scientists on the Giza project, Dr. Jim Hurtak, showed film footage of work in progress called, CHAMBERS OF THE DEEP, due to be released at the end of the century. The film reveals the discovery of a vast megalithic metropolis, 15,000 years old, reaching several levels below the Giza plateau. While the rest of the Nu-Age speculates about a hidden chamber under the left paw of the Sphinx, the legendary "City Of The Gods", lays sprawled beneath. Complete with hydraulic underground waterways, the film shows massive chambers, the proportions of our largest cathedrals, with enormous statues, the size of the Valley of the Nile, carved in-situ. Researchers, risking their lives with lights and cameras, carefully negotiated rubber dinghies across subterranean rivers and kilometer-wide lakes, to penetrate sealed chambers beyond. Already, remarkable caches of records and artifacts have been found. It is the legacy of a civilisation and a technology way beyond our own. A technology capable of creating a vast underground city, of which the sphinx and pyramids are merely the surface markers. The project scientist, Dr. Hurtak, likens it to the impact of contact with an advanced extraterrestrial culture. He described it as the discovery of the Fourth Root culture, the so-called Atlantean civilisation, destroyed by the last earth tumble. It presents unequivocal evidence that all languages, cultures and religions trace back to a single common source, which Dr. Hurtak refers to as the "Parent Civilisation". The technology unearthed is way beyond machine technology, as we know it. As Arthur C. Clark once joked, "any technology beyond our own would seem like magic to us." According to Dr. Hurtak, this was a culture who cracked the genetic code and possessed the keys of the physical spectrum, the "Higher Light Physics" of the ancients... everything old Gilgamesh went searching for in his famous trek to the lost "City of the Gods" to search the tunnels beneath "Mt. Mashu" in the desert lands. Hurtak refers to a "language of light" and a great priest-scientist of the previous time cycle, named ENOCH, who is associated with the building of the Great Pyramid complex. Hurtak alludes to a grand spiritual science, a science which describes a genetic stairway to the stars. The priest-scientist ENOCH, is a prediluvian patriarch, one of the most famous and seminal characters of the previous time cycle. Father of Methuselah and great grandfather of Noah, Enoch is credited in the Bible as architect of the original Zion, the legendary "City of Yahweh", as well as inventor of the alphabet and calendar. Enoch is also history's first astronaut, who "is taken aloft by the Lord" and shown "the secrets of earth and heaven". He returns to earth with the "weights and measures" for all humankind. Known to the Egyptians as THOTH, the "Lord of Magic and Time" and to the Greeks as HERMES, "messenger of the gods", he is even remembered in the Celtic tradition as the enigmatic wizard Merlin, who disappears up an apple tree to mythic Avalon, seeking the secret of immortality a

[CTRL] Another Look at JAPAN, Europe's Oriental Twin
-Caveat Lector- The history and culture of Japan PARALLEL the history and culture of Western Europe in many ways. "Japan" as we know it is no older than the beginnings of "European" civilization, as distinct from the western provinces of the Roman Empire before the fall of Rome. The "samurai" tradition and "bushido" (its code of honor) evolved historically side by side with the European tradition of chivalry. The so-called culture of "Japan," indeed, was merely an updated synthesis of "imperial" Chinese culture and later, more spiritual Buddhist values -- just as Western European culture was born from the synthesis of older Greco-Roman socio-political foundations and a new spiritual faith imported from the Near East, Christianity. The "history" of Western Europe is actually only the family histories of its "nobles," aristocrats (blueblood heads of state, at the top) defined primarily by their ability to raise and command armies to defend their territorial property -- in short, a MILITARY nobility. Likewise with the history of Japan. And just as with us today --remembering that the foundations of modern industrial capitalism were first erected and promoted by the British lesser nobility of the Royal Society circa 1600-- the political "nobility" of present-day Japan is a MERCANTILE aristocracy, linear descendants of the "samurai" (independent-minded "knights") rather than born into "royalty" (or the "imperial" bloodline) ... When East and West collided in the mid-19th Century, the folk-heroes of the Wild West had much in common with the "Ronin," the samurai of a decadent Empire ... __ The Yamato State A chapter in the learning module "Ancient Japan," "Yamato Japan" outlines the development of the Yamato state through the Asuka and Hakuho periods by Richard Hooker, 10/27/96 http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/ANCJAPAN/ The Yamato peninsula, on the southwesternmost portion of the island of Honshu, has historically been the region through which cultural influence from the mainland has passed into Japan. Beginning in 300 A.D., a new culture distinguished itself from Yayoi culture in the area around Nara and Osaka in the south of Honshu. This culture built giant tomb mounds, called _kofun_, many of which still exist; these tomb mounds were patterned after a similar practice in Korea. It is from these tomb mounds that these people derive their name: the _Kofun_. For two hundred years, these tombs were filled with objects that normally filled Yayoi tombs, such as mirrors and jewels. But beginning in 500 A.D., these tombs were filled with armor and weapons. So we know that around this time, a new wave of cultural influence had passed over from Korea into Japan. The earliest Japanese state we know of was ruled over by Yamato "great kings"; the Yamato state, which the Japanese chronicles date to 500 A.D., that is, the time when a new wave of Korean cultural influence passed through southern Japan, was really a loose hegemony. Yamato is the plain around Osaka; it is the richest agricultural region in Japan. The Yamato kings located their capital at Naniwa (modern day Osaka) and enjoyed a hegemony over the surrounding aristocracies that made them powerful and wealthy. They built for themselves magnificent tomb-mounds; like all monumental architecture, these tombs represented the wealth and power of the Yamato king. The keyhole-shaped tomb-mound of Nintoku is longer than five football fields and has twice the volume of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. According to the Japanese chronicles, the court of the Yamato kings was based on Korean models for the titles given to the court and regional aristocrats were drawn from Korean titles. As in Yayoi Japan, the basic social unit was the _uji_; what had been added was an aristocracy based on military readiness. This military aristocracy would remain the single most powerful group in Japanese history until the Meiji restoration in 1868. The various aristocratic families did not live peacefully together; the Yamato court witnessed constant struggles among the aristocratic families for power. During this period, Japan had a presence on the Korean peninsula itself. Korea was in its most dynamic cultural and political period; the peninsula itself was divided into three great kingdoms: Koguryo in the north, Paekche in the east, and Silla in the west. Paekche understood the strategic importance of Japan and so entered into alliance with the Yamato state. This connection between the Yamato court and Paekche is culturally one of the most important events of early Japanese history. For the Paekche court sent to Japan Korean craftspeople: potters, metal workers, artists, and so on. But they also imported Chinese culture. In the fifth or sixth century, the Koreans imported Chinese writing in order to record Japanese names. In 513, the Paekche court sent a Confucian schol

[CTRL] [Fwd: Denver AirPort: Hidden Underground City is Western New World OrderHeadquarters?]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: Denver AirPort: Hidden Underground City is Western New World OrderHeadquarters? Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 02:26:09 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (sent to USCMike1's 33,833+ readers - Please repost to your own mailing lists and newsgroups - Thanks) Denver AirPort: Hidden Underground City is Western New World Order Headquarters? Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans, et al: Please read this incredible post. There is so much going on that I can't even begin to summarize it in an introduction. But one contractor who "spilled the beans" conveniently commited "Arkancide" and the Queen of England is going to set up housekeeping there in a covert, hidden, clandestine underground city beneath the Denver International Air Port. Therefore, I don't think that Denver is going to get NBCed any time soon unless they want to first exterminate all the rats and vermin and U.S. Citizens to clear them out and leave it empty for the New World Order gang of 300 as their NEW World Western Headquarters. Too incredible to give a polite closing, USCMike1 NEW WORLD AIRPORT COMMISION. Date: 10/10/99 5:49:05 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Clarence H Napier) The Queen of England has reportedly been buying up property in Colorado under a proxy. There is a lot of "secret society" symbology at the airport, an AWFUL lot in fact The symbolism apparent in the layout of the new Denver airport, some feel, says that it may be a control center for world control Specifically, those involved in some very unusual government projects in the past, have remarked that the Denver area is where the establishment of the Western sector of the New World Order will be in the United States. Denver is of very high altitude and ideal for safe underground building The dedication or capstone of the new Denver Internation Airport is a masonic symbol. If you visit the airport's south eastern side of the terminal you will find the Masonic Capstone in Granite. This part of the terminal is called The Great Hall, which is known in Masonic lingo as their meeting hall. On the Masonic Capstone is inscribed NEW WORLD AIRPORT COMMISION. An eyewitness who has since "committed suicide" named Phil Schneider was a whistle blower re: Denver International Airport's underground facilities He helped build the underground facilities and reportedly "killed" himself via a double tie catheter behind his own neck strangling himself. It goes without saying that it appears that he was MURDERED. Phil also worked on other government underground facilities such as Area 51 and Dulce and more. See http://www.geocities.com/Area51/9357/ Which is a tribute to Phil, although I cannot vouch for the site myself In the same general area as the Masonic capstone, there are Masonic designs inlaided in the floor, such as the expression DZIT DIT GAII, [anyone know EXACTLY what that means?] Phil Schneider's father was a U-boat captain during the NAZI regime.

Serial Killer of Collective Security
First NATO, then the U.N., now the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
By John L. Perry
Posted October 10, 1999
Bill Clinton is reputedly eaten up with angst over having no legacy to leave.
He should lean back, light up a virgin cigar and relax.
He'll go down in history all right, not so much as the president who gave oral
sex a bad name but as the serial killer of collective security.
Perhaps some future biographer will invent a fictional character to explain
that this, too, is all the fault of someone's grandmother.
Even if Clinton hadn't gone on to make a name for himself in foreign policy by
throwing decades of costly lessons down the outhouse, he'd have left behind
enough God knows, it was enough to be remembered for.
How many other American presidents have soiled both the Oval Office and a White
House intern's dress?
And lied about it to his wife and daughter and Cabinet members and personal
staff and the entire American people, eyeball to eyeball and finger to nose?
And, under oath, lied to a grand jury as well?
And been found guilty of contempt for lying to a federal judge?
And violated his oath of office to take care that the laws be faithfully
executed?
And gotten himself impeached by the House of Representatives?
And then held a Rose Garden pep rally to celebrate as if it were an honor?
And, unforgivably, in the process sullied the fair escutcheon of sex, itself,
which has always been held in such high esteem by the masses?
Disgusting as all that is, what's even worse is Congress, the press and the
American people let Clinton get away with it.
What lesson did Bill Clinton learn from these cumulative disgraces, which would
have sent most normal men gibbering into oblivion?
The only lesson possible, an adult download of all the lessons he learned
growing up in Arkansas: There's no limit to what little Billy can get away with
if he just bites his lip, drags his toe, does a 'possum grin and goes, "Aw
shucks."
Not content with his accomplishments domestically, this president then felt
free to set about systematically sabotaging the cardinal concepts of
international collective security consistent with the United States
Constitution. Thumbing his nose at that Constitution worked at home, so why not
away from home?
He must have known all along where he was going, and how to get there. The man
is nothing if not calculating.
Follow now his steps, which only appear those of a sailor uncharacteristically
taken drunk during shore leave:
Step One: Expanding NATO Eastward
Clinton's first step was to manipulate the expansion of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization to include Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
Why? What was the need?
For 50 years, NATO had served successfully as the classic example of collective
security a defensive bulwark against any possible westward military assault
from the old Soviet Union. NATO was created as a mutual defense pact that would
use military force only "to restore and maintain the security and interests of
the North Atlantic area" by repelling an armed attack on a sovereign NATO
member nation.
With collapse of the Soviet Union and nullification of the Red Army as an
imminent threat to the North Atlantic area, there was no longer a demonstrable
need for a defensive NATO. Whom was it supposed to defend Western Europe
against now? China?
Those three Eastern European states were once forcibly subsumed into the now-
defunct Warsaw Pact by the Soviet Union as part of its own protection against
any historical repetition of Hitler's Drang Nach Osten, the thrust eastward
across Poland into the Russian heartland.
That may not loom as a specter to inhabitants of the U.S. It is dead-serious
stuff to Russians who have over and over and over again throughout history been
invaded from across the inviting plains of Poland.
Now along comes this ex-governor of Arkansas with his grand scheme for a "New
World Order" why did he have to pick a phrase Hitler used and the Russians
could never forget? and all of a sudden where is Russia's traditional cordon
sanitaire of Eastern European states? Transferred into the NATO orbit, that's
where.
If Clinton accomplished nothing else, he gave America's enemies within Russia
all the propaganda ammo they'll ever need. They are real and they are mean as
hell.
Russians know there's not a blessed thing Poland, the Czech Republic and
Hungary could contribute to the defense of the North Atlantic area.
There were only two conceivable purposes in expanding NATO eastward toward
Russia to serve as an implied aggressive threat against Russia or to become
an implement of extended U.S. hegemony over the economies in Eastern Europe.
Give Clinton credit for just enough sense not to opt for threatening Russia
militarily. Instead, he chose economic dominion in league with his "Third Way"
sidekick, Tony Blair, the British prime minister

And it's only October. We have 13 more months to enlighten, further, the electorate. Meanwhile, the secretary of defense receives the first report from his United States Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, which I read with deepening fear for my dear little daughter Ana, who was sitting on my lap while I looked at the report this weekend. The commission, co-chaired by former Sens. Warren Rudman and Gary Hart, and composed of leading military, diplomatic, political, academic, and business elder statesmen is as sober in its makeup as it is flamboyantly nightmarish in its predictions for the next 25 years. So, sit back, ingest your calming substance or liquid of preference and behold the near future, just as it has been reported to Secretary of Defense William Cohen two weeks ago. Weapons of mass nuclear, chemical and biological destruction will proliferate. We should expect conflicts in which our adversaries, because of "cultural affinities different from our own, will resort to forms and levels of violence shocking to our sensibilities." The United States will often be dependent on allies, "but it will find reliable alliances more difficult to establish and sustain." The report goes on to conclude that despite the fact that the United States will be, both absolutely and relatively, the most powerful nation on Earth, and despite the lack of a global competitor, we will be "limited in our ability to impose our will, and we will be vulnerable to an increasing range of threats." "States, terrorists, and other disaffected groups will acquire weapons of mass destruction and mass disruption, and some will use them. Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers." "When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature call out, 'Come!' I looked and there was a pale green horse! Its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed with him; they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and pestilence, and by the wild animals of the earth." This last quote is from John's Revelations, not the U.S. Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, But, giving allowance for a writing style gap of 2,000 years, it is a sequitur to the report findings immediately above it. Visions of doom led men to religion and a search for God's grace. Today, I fear, the main reaction, if any, is to look for a stock with upside potential if there is increased demand for toxic cleanup and mass contaminated corpse disposal. The faith of our fathers abides, and I hope that the stock market does too. But, in a presidential and congressional election period, shouldn't there also be a vigorous debate on the policies necessary to avoid or minimize the calamity of mass death of Americans from nuclear or biological attack? The report goes on to describe a world in which U.S. intelligence and diplomacy will be inadequate to protect our interests and security. The continued advance of the global economy and technology will destabilize nations and cultures, resulting in anti-technology backlashes. Those same forces will "batter the concept of national sovereignty." Some important nations "will not be able to manage these challenges and could fragment and fail." Nationalism, ethnic and religious violence will rise, creating "humanitarian disasters, major catalytic regional crises and the spread of dangerous weapons." "Big ideas" will spread quickly around the globe, and the "stage will be set for mass action to have social impact beyond the borders and control of existing political structures."

What does the Littleton Massacre have to do with 'cultural Marxism' at the U.S.
Naval Academy? By *Dr. Gerald L. Atkinson
No. 137, 11 - 17 October 1999
The U.S. Naval Academy, via its 'Leadership and Ethics' program, appears to be
taking a path that the nation's public schools have trod over the past 30
years. That is, it has introduced the pseudo-psychological curriculum of
'relative' moral values that has been so disastrous for our young children. The
academy appears to be taking the direction that has forced many (who can afford
it) to send their children to private schools or 'home school' them. This is
becoming apparent as evidence emerges concerning the true nature of the
'Leadership and Ethics' program and, specially, the new Integrity Development
Seminars (IDS) at the Academy.
This series of 'essays' has at least scratched the surface in characterizing
these seminars and the entire 'Leadership and Ethics' program in terms of a
broader view of where the ideas, techniques, and personnel come from, what they
believe, and what their 'mission' is. We have seen the product of these flawed
and failed ideas in the public school system at the Littleton, CO massacre at
Columbine High School where 13 innocent students were murdered by two evil
products of the New Age 'ethics' taught at that school. A countervailing view
of the appropriate 'ethics' training for our nation's future Navy and Marine
officers is provided by General Charles C. Krulak, Jr. USMC (Ret.), the former
Commandant of the Marine Corps.
In an interview, Gen. Krulak responded to the question1, "The Marine Corps
seems to have done better than the other services in warding off [difficulties
in morale, cultural stress, recruiting, retention, etc.]. What are the Marines
doing differently [than the other services]? Gen. Krulak's answer was
straightforward. "The first thing we've done differently is recognize who
Generation X and Generation Next really are ... What we've found out is that,
in reality, we believe we have found the next 'greatest generation' [after the
WWII G.I. generation]. What's been wrong all along is that we as a nation, the
American people and certainly we in the military, have not been giving these
kids what they want. What they want is very simple: They want to be challenged,
big time. They want to do something of value, and they really want that value
to be in terms of respect from their peers and respect from their seniors.
They believe in accountability and responsibility but don't believe we believe
in it. So, if you give them a hole in the fence, they are through it in a
heartbeat." The interviewer then asked, "How, then, does that realization shape
the Marines' approach?" Gen. Krulak replied, "What we decided to do is, if that
was what they want, instead of softening up we increased our standards, we
tightened up. The DoD recruiting standard for high school graduates was 90
percent. We said the Marines will accept nothing less than 95 percent. We test
our kids for drugs three times before they even get to the recruit depot. If
they have any kind of tattoo that is racist in nature, that is gang related,
they don't become a Marine. We took off television any kind of recruiting
advertisement that said anything about 'we're going to give you $50,000 for a
college education or we're going to teach you a skill.' Our advertising is very
simple. It says: 'If you want to be challenged physically, mentally and
morally, join the Marine Corps. You will be changed and the change will be
forever.'"
Contrast this view of a moral challenge with that which has been described in
this series of 'essays' on 'Cultural Marxism' at the U.S. Naval Academy. The
later, a soft 'relativism' that has invaded the 'Leadership and Ethics' program
at the Academy, is in fact just the opposite of that which has been so
successful for the U.S. Marine Corps. The Academy approach is one that has,
over the past few decades, infected our public schools by sowing cognitive
dissonance in a young person's mind and molding his or her 'morals' to fit the
agenda of an ideology that is quite foreign to the principles of individual
freedom, a gift handed down to us from our Founding Fathers. Let us, here,
explore that technique.
The sowing of cognitive dissonance in the minds of our young has been in
practice, in the background, silently, with deceptive cover for over 30 years.
It contributed to the horror of Littleton, CO. Here is how it works. Society
itself experiences increasing degrees of cognitive dissonance as a result of
the double standards on public policy generated by behavioral psychologists of
the Frankfurt School type. There is evidence that many of the so-called 'model,
upstanding, friendly' individuals who suddenly make news by going berserk and
killing people are persons who have been on the receiving end of numerous
unresolvable conflicts2.

Re: [CTRL] "Cultural Marxism" in the U.S.?
-Caveat Lector- America is still playing the blame-game, still looking for outsiders to blame for its troubles. But seriously, Is all that is stated in this article really the result of cultural Marxism or more correctly, cultural capitalism? Capitalist culture _is_ the culture of anything-goes, get-all-you-can relativism. (Maybe it's just me, but Marxist societies, which I am in no ways defending, such as China and Cuba don't strike me as hedonistic utopias of relativism.) Unfettered consumer capitalism, with its emphasis on selfishness, acquisitiveness, and social irresponsibility, reinforces a culture of with no moral or spiritual focus. Our capitalist culture is consumer oriented, not work oriented; "get while the gettin's good" should be the national motto of the United States. The Puritan work ethic was killed with the last of the Eastern Indians. And as the US and its "free market" corporate oligarchs have shown time and again, our culture, our American capitalist cutlure, validates and glorifies the murder of anyone who gets in its way, be it Indians, Guatemalan peasants, Vietnamese children, and even our own political leaders if necessary. Our children don't need "cultural Marxism" to learn how to kill, cheat, steal, and internalize a callous disregard for the earth and its other inhabitants. America's capitalist ideology provides them all the ammunition and examples they need. Cheers, Lucio DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] An American Coup d'tat?
-Caveat Lector- Smedley Butler was hired by Philadelphia as Public Safety Director (which included both police and fire departments) essentially as a publicity stunt, designed to divert the attention of the newspapers away from the blatant corruption in City Hall. What the Republican City Committee failed to realize was that Smedley Butler's ego and flair were greater than theirs. He outfitted himself in a spectacular new uniform, complete with cape; he set up a Flying Squad of detectives answerable only to himself. For the first six months or so, everything went swimmingly. He dashed around the city raiding speakeasies, demolishing stills, and confiscating private liquor stashes (including one belonging to my great-uncle!). The papers loved him. The public loved him. Then he started in on the speakeasies and brothels that served City Hall. The mayor and councilmen began to get uneasy. The last straw, though, was when he began sniffing around City Council chambers... At that point the mayor asked for his resignation. Butler refused to give it. The mayor called a U.S. senator or two, who called the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and Butler found himself called back to the national colors, a call he could not resist. A standard-issue political hack was named to succeed him, the Flying Squad was dissolved, and Philadelphia went back to sleep. > -Original Message- > From: Kris Millegan [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, October 09, 1999 12:32 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [CTRL] An American Coup d'tat? > > -Caveat Lector- > > from: > http://www.ggnra.org/cramer/amcoup.html > http://www.ggnra.org/cramer/amcoup.html">Untitled > - > > Butler was more than a remarkable soldier.

I have seen a piece of this in my workplace, where people were nearly fired because of inflammatory comments they made in their e-mail. The good thing (or at least, what I thought was good at the time) was that it revealed not only that e-mail COULD be read by company authorities, but that it actually was read. But now, with the proven knowledge that authorities are an unseen audience, the e-mail is more guarded and nuanced more for political maneuver. People inevitably do things they are ashamed of. Some things rightfully engender shame; others trigger a conflict between conscience and imposed values. But whether from malice, mistake or ambivalent rebellion against somebody else's mistake, people who do things will do some things that they'd rather keep hidden. As the ability to hide disappears, I fear that people will do less, that they will hide within inoffensiveness. I have seen that tendency in myself - overridden it in some cases; accepted it as prudent in others. Perhaps as privacy disappears, it will be replaced by courage. But it will be a difficult thing to inspire. Courage is rarely revealed by those who risk and are not harmed. Rather, courage is revealed in sacrifice, and it is hard to get others to look beyond the sacrifice to see what the sacrifice was for. Even in people who speak of following the Way of the Cross, the focus I've seen has been more on martyrdom and less on the cause for which martyrdom is a transitory step. Both fear and pride put the sacrifice in the foreground. But lack of courage in big things is not the real problem in loss of privacy. It's the lack of courage in little things. People may, to greater or lesser degree, be counted on to risk safety for grand causes. However, I doubt many people would risk ridicule for picking their nose. It is the little embarrassments that build the habits of self-sensorship and self-inhibition. All the more reason, then, to show not just courage, but also love and mercy. To make the world as safe as we can for others to show courage in little things, so that they can endure the lack of privacy without giving up the will to act.<< To which I can only add, "Amen." > -Original Message- > From: Steve Wingate [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, October 11, 1999 2:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [CTRL] Computer uses cat's brain to see > > -Caveat Lector- > > Friday, October 8, 1999 Published at 20:57 GMT 21:57 UK > > Computer uses cat's brain to see > > Scientists have literally seen the world through cat's eyes > > By BBC News Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse > > In what is bound to become a much debated and highly controversial > experiment, a team of US scientists have wired a computer to a cat's brain > and created videos of what the animal was seeing. > DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] How To Make History Bunk
-Caveat Lector- Smithsonian scalps Western values by Don Feder Wednesday, October 6, 1999 By the shores of the Potomac, near the shining big-sea water, will stand the contentious wigwam of the Smithsonian - its National Museum of the American Indian, to be precise. Last week, while the Senate was cutting funds for the Brooklyn Museum of Art for its painting of a dung-smeared Virgin Mary, a more far-reaching assault on American values went largely unnoticed. Construction was begun on the Smithsonian's Indian museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The $110 million project (two-thirds paid by the taxpayer) is expected to attract 6 million visitors a year. The New York Times noted that the museum ``will not only celebrate and display continuing tribal cultures but work to set the record straight.'' The museum's director, Richard West, said the institution would be dedicated to ``presenting the Indian perspective.'' By ``Indian perspective,'' West means the fulminations of activists who think Columbus was the father of genocide and the 7th Cavalry was the Nazi S.S. on horseback. To emphasize the point, those attending the ceremony sang the anthem of the American Indian Movement, a militant gang best known for its terrorist action at the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975, which left two FBI agents dead. The Smithsonian has passionately embraced the multiculturalist agenda. It sees all of history in the reflected light of the PC trinity - race, gender and class. This dogmatism was most conspicuous in a 1995 exhibit on the end of World War II in the Pacific and the Hiroshima bombing. The original script (revised after protests by veterans) described the conflict as ``a war of revenge against the Japanese,'' who were ``fighting to preserve their culture against imperialism.'' It was as if the rape of Nanking, Pearl Harbor, the Bataan Death March, ``comfort women'' and other atrocities by the Imperial Army had never happened. Even art isn't safe from the Smithsonian's revisionists. A 1991 exhibit (``The West as America: Reinterpreting Images of the Frontier, 1820-1920'') was described by a writer for The Washington Post as ``reducing the saga of America's Western pioneers to little more than victimization, disillusionment and environmental rape.'' Scientists complained that the exhibit ``Science in American Life'' could have been scripted by the Unabomber. Joan Shields, a professor of chemistry at Long Island University, called it a ``revisionist historical display of science as a litany of moral debacles, environmental catastrophes, social injustices and destruction by radiation.'' The Smithsonian's latest editing of history is its book ``Timelines of the Ancient World - A Visual Chronology From the Origins of Life to A.D. 1500.'' While major events in the development of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam are meticulously detailed, the book moves from B.C. to A.D. without acknowledging the birth of Jesus. The spiritual revolution wrought by the Jewish people is similarly ignored. The Smithsonian was established in 1846 for the ``increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.'' Today, it exists to exhort. History becomes a self-criticism session, where the sins of the West, evils of capitalism and the toxicity of the Judeo-Christian tradition are confessed and atoned. Shortly, the Smithsonian will take to the warpath again. Its National Museum of the American Indian no doubt will attack the legitimacy of our founding and westward expansion. From Plymouth Rock to the closing of the frontier, it will present the ``Indian perspective.'' But you the taxpayer will get to pay for it. The complex story of America's native cultures should be told without bias or belligerence. Instead, the museum will subject visitors to a sanitized, one-sided history and victim-group mythology. Will this effort to ``set the record straight'' include celebrations of ritual cannibalism practiced by the Mohawks and Chippewas, torture techniques perfected by the Apaches, the quaint custom of scalping or the degraded status of women in most Indian tribes? America may be the only nation in history to subsidize its own destruction. When the multiculturalists, academic Marxists, perpetually aggrieved minorities and sensitivity Gestapo finally succeed in pulling down our national house, over the ruins should be erected a sign reading, ``Your Tax Dollars At Work.''

Please do not send the pages repeatedly to the same people -- people need to become Sustainers themselves. Here then is today's ZNet Commentary... -- "MEDIA TIME CAPSULE" AT THE END OF A MILLENNIUM By Norman Solomon / Creators Syndicate On the first day of January, many public ceremonies will feature time capsules -- sealed long ago, when "the year 2000" sounded incredibly futuristic. Those containers, intended for opening at the start of the new millennium, presumably hold evocative symbols of earlier eras. But as the moment nears to open old time capsules, we might consider what would be appropriate to put in new ones. For this high-tech age of super-duper mass communications, quite a few objects could go into a media time capsule. For instance: A personal computer This technological marvel became a mainstay in millions of American homes and workplaces. Widely glorified, the PC offered many advantages -- including quick desktop functions, speedy communication via the Internet, and clarity of visual images. The personal computer changed almost everything -- except content. The quality of ideas, the reliability of information, and the clarity of thinking underwent no discernable enhancement. Along the way, the advent of the PC greatly widened gaps between the media "haves" and "have nots" -- those for whom the cost of online access was incidental and those for whom it was prohibitive. A television cable Cable TV meant that instead of just flipping through a few broadcast stations, viewers could choose from dozens or even hundreds of channels. Media companies were able to "narrowcast" by appealing to specific interests. A few cable networks were willing to take chances with some artistic ventures that broadcasters shunned. Meanwhile, subscribers to "basic" cable paid hundreds of dollars a year for a monotonous collection of formulaic programming. Even viewers with access to large numbers of channels often ended up wandering through a glitzy wasteland of shallow entertainment and public affairs shows. For most cable customers, it was impossible to find a single national TV channel that wasn't constrained by corporate sponsors, underwriters or owners. A "mini-cam" Arriving two decades ago, the mini-cam led the way for television news departments to be able to quickly edit broadcast-quality videotape, shot with miniaturized TV cameras. Unfortunately, on local news shows around the country, the main use for this advanced technology was to instantly produce footage from crime scenes, courthouses, fires and traffic accidents. A hair dryer and a can of hair spray Well-groomed and often blow-dried, the media professionals on our TV screens have rarely looked unkempt. Despite all the chaos in the real world, television proved adept at offering a sense of order and a never-ending supply of cheery artifice. A set of handcuffs The mass media kept people edgy and entertained with a profusion of news stories and TV programs devoted to crime and punishment. During the 1990s, in the United States, media depictions of crime skyrocketed -- and so did the number of people behind bars, reaching 1.9 million in 1999 (compared to 1,148,700 in 1990 and 501,900 in 1980). Television stations continued their barrage of crime news and cop shows, but social context remained somewhere between scant and nonexistent on the air. White-tinted glasses Overall, news accounts did not convey information that might disrupt widespread racial illusions among whites in America. A distorted media picture has helped a slanted legal system to stay tilted. For example -- as recently reported by The Sentencing Project, based in Washington, D.C. -- "African Americans constitute 15 percent of drug users nationally, but 33 percent of drug possession arrests." Examining figures from 1985 to 1995, researchers found a 707 percent increase of black drug offenders in state prisons, compared to a 306 percent increase for whites. And records also showed that Latinos are incarcerated at a disproportionately high rate.

One would expect a member of the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services, which oversees the Fed, to be reasonably knowledgeable on the subject. But at least one committee member, Congressman Jack Metcalf (R-Wa.), seems to have no clue at all. Metcalf says every American is paying $100 per year just to get the cash they spend. If the Treasury issued this money, Metcalf believes, the Federal Government would save $25 billion per year. What the confused congressman is talking about is the fact that the Fed conducts monetary policy by buying and selling U.S. Treasury securities. When it buys the money supply expands; when it sells the money supply contracts. The vast bulk of the money created in the process consists of bank balances. Only a tiny percentage involves the printing of currency, which is done by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. o As of June 30, the Fed held $494 billion in Treasury securities, and last year it received $26.8 billion in interest from the Treasury -- the tax Congressman Metcalf is upset about. o But the Federal Reserve sends virtually all of this money back to the Treasury and it is counted as government revenue -- in 1998, the Treasury got a check from the Federal Reserve for $24.5 billion (see figure http://www.ncpa.org/pd/gif/pd101199a.gif ). o The difference goes to pay for Federal Reserve operations and salaries. So there really is no tax. It is just a bookkeeping transaction. Taxpayers would save nothing by converting Federal Reserve notes to Treasury notes. However, the Federal Reserve's expenses ultimately do come out of the taxpayer's pocket. An article in the August 2 issue of Barron's details the sharply rising cost of operating the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks.

So given the high degree of business regulation among European countries, the opportunities for reining in inflation are huge. Germany's highly regulated economy and recent moves to deregulate electricity and telecommunications provide striking illustrations of the dynamics of the process. o Since competitors sprung up four years ago to challenge the monopoly Deutsche Telekom AG, the price of a daytime, three-minute phone call from Hamburg to Munich has fallen from about $1.12 to 39 cents. o Overall, phone rates declined nearly 20 percent between the end of 1997 and mid-1999. o Following recent moves to open Germany's electricity markets to competition, the electricity bill for a typical family in Hanover has declined 14 percent in six months. o Experts estimate that a 20 percent drop in electricity prices would shave half a percentage point off Germany's overall inflation rate.

Re: [CTRL] How To Make History Bunk
-Caveat Lector- The white Americans who write our history have made it bunk. Denying the holocaust perpetrated upon the Indians of North and South America is akin to denying that of the Nazis. America's history is bunk and will continue to be so until we are willing as a nation and as a people to face its darker truths. As long as we choose to believe lies, those in power will continue to lie to us, with impunity. >From the Rachel Environmental Newsletter: COLUMBUS DAY, 1999 This week we take time out from our series on "the meaning of sustainability" -- or perhaps merely extend it in a new direction -- to celebrate Columbus Day. I use "celebrate" in the dictionary sense of "to proclaim or broadcast for the attention of a wide public." Examining the nation's heroes may tell us something fundamental about our goals and values. Christopher Columbus has been a genuine American hero since at least 1792 when the Society of St. Tammany in New York City first held a dinner to honor the man and his deeds. Columbus Day -- first observed as a U.S. national holiday in 1892 and declared an annual day of national celebration in 1934 -- commemorates the re-discovery of North America, by Christopher Columbus and his band of 90 adventurers, who set out from Palos, Spain just before dawn on August 3, 1492 intending to find Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in three small ships. Columbus made four voyages to the New World.[1] The initial voyage reveals several important things about the man. First, he had genuine courage because few ship's captains had ever pointed their prow toward the open ocean, the complete unknown. Secondly, from numerous of his letters and reports we learn that his overarching goal was to seize wealth that belonged to others, even his own men, by whatever means necessary. Columbus's royal sponsors (Ferdinand and Isabella) had promised a lifetime pension to the first man who sighted land. A few hours after midnight on October 12, 1492, Juan Rodriguez Bermeo, a lookout on the Pinta, cried out -- in the bright moonlight, he had spied land ahead. Most likely Bermeo was seeing the white beaches of Watling Island in the Bahamas. As they waited impatiently for dawn, Columbus let it be known that he had spotted land several hours before Bermeo. According to Columbus's journal of that voyage, his ships were, at the time, traveling 10 miles per hour. To have spotted land several hours before Bermeo, Columbus would have had to see more than 30 miles over the horizon, a physical impossibility. Nevertheless Columbus took the lifetime pension for himself.[1,2] Columbus installed himself as Governor of the Caribbean islands, with headquarters on Hispaniola (the large island now shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic). He described the people, the Arawaks (called by some the Tainos) this way: "The people of this island and of all the other islands which I have found and seen, or have not seen, all go naked, men and women, as their mothers bore them, except that some women cover one place only with the leaf of a plant or with a net of cotton which they make for that purpose. They have no iron or steel or weapons, nor are they capable of using them, although they are well-built people of handsome stature, because they are wondrous timid [T]hey are so artless and free with all they possess, that no one would believe it without having seen it. Of anything they have, if you ask them for it, they never say no; rather they invite the person to share it, and show as much love as if they were giving their hearts; and whether the thing be of value or of small price, at once they are content with whatever little thing of whatever kind may be given to them."[3,pg.63;1,pg.118] After Columbus had surveyed the Caribbean region, he returned to Spain to prepare his invasion of the Americas. From accounts of his second voyage, we can begin to understand what the New World represented to Columbus and his men -- it offered them life without limits, unbridled freedom. Columbus took the title Admiral of the Ocean Sea and proceeded to unleash a reign of terror unlike anything seen before or since. When he was finished, eight million Arawaks -- virtually the entire native population of Hispaniola -- had been exterminated by torture, murder, forced labor, starvation, disease and despair.[3,pg.x] A Spanish missionary, Bartolome de las Casas, described first-hand how the Spaniards terrorized the natives.[4] Las Casas gives numerous eye-witness accounts of repeated mass murder and routine sadistic torture. As Barry Lopez has accurately summarized it, "One day, in front of Las Casas, the Spanish dismembered, beheaded, or raped 3000 people. 'Such inhumanities and barbarisms were committed in my sight,' he says, 'as no age can parallel' The Spanish cut off the legs of children who ran from them. They poured people full of boiling soap. They made bets as to who, with one sweep of his sword, could cut a person in half.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ http://www.aci.net/kalliste/">The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe - Today's Lesson from The Story of Decipherment by Maurice Pope The importance of Egypt lay of course in her contribution to learning. According to Warburton, Egypt's learning must have consisted largely of a traditional body of detached tenets, moral and scientific, without regard to system (for instance Pythagoras, despite his twenty-two years in Egypt, had to evolve his theory on the square of the hypotenuse after his return to Samos--a point made by Stillingfleete, see page 36), or the cult of controversy; it was not eristic according to Clement (viii ad init.), but could be advanced (for instance the doctrine that the earth went round the sun, thought by Newton to be Egyptian). But the chief thing it consisted in was 'legislation and civil polity'. In particular what was invented in Egypt was the 'double doctrine'. The existence of this 'double doctrine' is a major theme of Warburton's book. What he means by it is that all ancient philosophers and philosophical sects that concerned themselves with morals, politics, legislation, and such matters (therefore not the Ionians or the Epicureans) promulgated publicly the belief in future rewards and punishments since they thought such a belief was politically useful or even necessary, but that they themselves rejected it as being untrue. = Year 2000 Y2K Panic in Paraguay Electricity or no electricity. That is the question. First the computers will crash, bringing down the electrical grid, the water system and the telephone network. Then, nearly 200,000 government workers will discover that the state-run bank that prints their paychecks has been crippled by technological glitches. Finally, a day or two later, crowds will riot and loot, forcing the government to declare martial law. To Walter Schafer Paoli, the Paraguayan government's Year 2000 generalissimo, this is no science-fiction plot. Such bedlam, he says, is quite possible during the first days of January in this poor, landlocked South American country sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil. His manifest fear stems from a simple, alarming fact: The government has been woefully late in tackling the Y2K computer glitch. Most government agencies here only recently began to fix their systems. To make matters worse, members of a presidential commission set up in the spring to coordinate the repair efforts quit en masse last month, complaining that they were never given offices, a budget or payment for their services. Paraguay is just one of many developing countries that have been tardy in dealing with the Y2K bug. From sub-Saharan Africa to Central America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, many nations have only just started to vigorously address the glitch, raising the possibility of disruptions in basic services. Although the impact probably will be cushioned by the fact that such nations still have legions of people in rural areas whose lives remain untouched by electronics, failing to squash the bug in time could affect millions of others who live in cities where computer systems control power distribution, telephones and other crucial government operations. ''Developing countries have a lot left to do to immunize themselves from the Y2K bug,'' said Bruce McConnell, director of the International Y2K Cooperation Center, a UN-sponsored organization that is working with 170 nations on the problem. Among the laggards, though, Paraguay is particularly far behind, according to some analysts. With the new year less than three months away, business and government leaders here worry that even with a newfound commitment to eradicating the millennium bug, there is not enough time left to make the necessary patches. ''It will not be possible for us to fix everything before January,'' said Mr. Schafer, a former computer magazine publisher who was chosen three weeks ago to replace the disbanded commission. Given that assessment, most foreign corporations and governments are not counting on anything come January. Inside one of Citibank's buildings in Asuncion, workers are installing a room-sized cistern that can hold enough water to keep sinks running and toilets flushing for two weeks. The firm's branch offices are being equipped with cellular and satellite phones as well as electrical generators, which will be refueled by a fleet of oil trucks hired by the bank. The local office of DHL Worldwide Express has ordered fold-out cots in case the courier service's employees are unable to travel to and from work by public transportation. A local bank has set up an elaborate plan to deal with a total failure of electricity, telephones and water. Even the U.S. Embassy is girding for the worst, increasing its stockpile of MREs, those tear-open, ready-to-eat meals originally made for soldiers. ''We're not planning t

Behind the Headlines
by Justin Raimondo
October 11, 1999
KOSOVO GOES FASCIST
Months after NATO's assault on the former Yugoslavia, the fruits of that
alleged "victory" have begun to appear in all their misshapen ugliness: what is
clearly evolving in Yugoslavia's conquered province, is a full-fledged fascist
state. And I don't mean that rhetorically, in the sense that I think the KLA
are not very nice: I mean that literally, as in self-conscious fascists have
seized de facto power in Kosovo. During the war I warned, in this column, that
the ideological pedigree of the Kosovo Liberation Army can be traced back to
some very dubious sources, including the pro-Nazi Skanderberg Division of the
SS that fought for Germany during World War II, as well as supporters of the
late Enver Hoxha, Albania's Stalinist strongman. Now the fascist KLA is coming
out of the closet, baring its fangs, and showing its true face for all the
world to see: yet, somehow, the world is no longer looking. The Western media,
which clamored for and, indeed, created this war, would much rather avert
its face than confront, head on, the consequences of their enthusiasms.
AMANPOUR'S "FREEDOM-FIGHTERS"
I cannot forget a CNN special documentary on the KLA, narrated by Christiane
Amanpour, commander-in-chief of the journalistic division of the War Party, and
wife of State Department spokesman James Rubin. Amanpour's interviews with KLA
cadre uniformly depicted them as victims fighting in a righteous cause, and her
voice seemed to swell with pride as she continually described them as "freedom
fighters." KLA recruits, questioned about their political beliefs and the goals
of their movement, typically claimed to be fighting for "democracy" and "a
normal life, just like in America." CNN rounded up an "expert" from the pro-KLA
"Human Rights Watch" who rationalized KLA excesses and reiterated the U.S.
government line that the KLA were admirable and worthy of American support.
GOOSE-STEPPING THROUGH PRISTINA
But even here, in the midst of what was nothing more than a propaganda piece,
viewers got a glimpse of the truth: footage of a KLA parade, with smart young
soldiers dressed in red and black practically goose-stepping down the street,
red banners flying. During the war, KLA commanders were told by their American
handlers to quit using the old straight-arm KLA salute: it was just a
coincidence, of course, that this open-palmed salute was identical to the
Hitlerian version.
"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH" ISN'T WATCHING
Now that Human Rights Watch is no longer watching, and Madeleine Albright's
ardor for Kosovar strongman Hacim thaci seems to have cooled considerably, the
KLA is openly moving to establish an "ethnically pure" fascist state and it
is not only Serbs who are the victims.
FREE TO DIE
The news that the Kosovapress, the official organ of the KLA high command, has
denounced Veton Surroi, publisher of Koha Ditore, Kosovo's leading newspaper,
as a traitor and strongly implied that his death may be imminent hit the
NATO-crats like a thunderclap. Surroi is a traitor, according to an article by
Marxhan Avdyli, and has all along been a Serbian agent: not only that, but he
is now a spy in the pay of nameless Western interests. The editors of Koha
Ditore are a "bastard ragtag" band of "ordinary mobsters"; they are also, we
are informed, "the garbage of history." Ominously, Avdyli warns that Surroi is
at risk of "eventual and very understandable revenge" and further avers that
"such criminals and enslaved minds should not have a place in the free Kosovo."
This is what the KLA means by a "free" Kosovo a nation free of all political
dissent.
BLOOD AND IRONY
So, what's the KLA's beef with Surroi? If you haven't already, take a look at
"Today's Spotlight," on the main page, a commentary by Surroi originally
published in Koha Ditore that takes aim at the KLA's evolving fascist regime.
He condemns the reverse ethnic cleansing of Kosovo, and denounces "the
organized and systematic intimidation of all Serbs simply because they are
Serbs and therefore are being held collectively responsible for what happened
in Kosovo. Such attitudes are fascist." The irony of the West's "anti-fascist"
crusade against Milosevic and Serbian "racism" is that it has created the
makings of a racist fascist state in Kosovo. As Surroi puts it,
"From having been victims of Europe's worst end-of-century persecution, we are
ourselves becoming persecutors and have allowed the specter of fascism to
reappear. Anybody who thinks that the violence will end once the last Serb has
been driven out is living an illusion. The violence will simply be directed
against other Albanians. Is this really what we fought for?"

GOEBBELS THE SEQUEL
Well, yes, as a matter of fact, that is indeed what the KLA was fighting for.
They have always been authoritarians, as well as racists and fascists. Why

[CTRL] Fw: Smokers Fired
-Caveat Lector- -- INTERESTING QUOTE: "...the Florida Supreme Court upheld the rule. The court said the lower insurance costs outweighed the privacy issue." -- Source: Palm Beach Post http://www.gopbi.com/partners/pbpost/epaper/editions/saturday/new s_2.h tml Boca may stub out smokers By Monika Gonzalez, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Saturday, October 9, 1999 BOCA RATON -- Marlboro men need not apply. The city is aiming to ban the hiring of smokers for all jobs, and new employees caught smoking on or off duty would be fired. The anti-smoking rule -- already in effect for about 700 city employees through union contracts for police, firefighters and blue-collar workers -- is expanded to all 1,100-odd employees in revamped personnel policies to be reviewed by city council members Tuesday. Smoking is already off-limits in Boca Raton government buildings and one city park, but the new rule would extend into an employee's home and entire life. Workers already on the payroll may continue to smoke on their free time. As may council members: Mayor Carol Hanson is a longtime smoker, and at least two other council members smoke occasionally. Officials are proposing the citywide ban because fewer smokers means lower health insurance premiums for all employees. While such a measure is not common among municipal governments, it is practiced in several cities including Coral Gables, North Miami and Clinton, Iowa. The American Civil Liberties Union contested the no-more-smokers rule in North Miami as a violation of state privacy laws, but the Florida Supreme Court upheld the rule. The court said the lower insurance costs outweighed the privacy issue. "The ACLU's position is that it's improper for the government to punish people for a perfectly legal activity conducted in the privacy of their own home," said Andy Kayton, legal director of the ACLU of Florida. "Where does the line get drawn when you're talking about legal activities?" Jackie Miller of St. Petersburg, president of Florida's Smokers' Rights Association, agreed: "I don't think it has any bearing on how a person does their job. It's an outrageous idea." Kayton said the policy opens the door to ban people who have consumed alcohol, are overweight, had unprotected sex or even ate red meat in the last year. Although it may sound farfetched, newspaper reports show one city -- Athens, Ga., contemplated banning applicants with high cholesterol. Boca Raton police officer and union President Rick Barnett said the no-smokers policy is for the best in the long run, but it does limit the pool of applicants. Boca Raton lost a good police officer because of the ban, Barnett said. An experienced officer left the department to work at a private business and later returned to town and reapplied. But because he had smoked a cigar at a function, he wasn't eligible because he had not been smoke-free for a year. The expanded rule to be considered Tuesday doesn't say how long new hires must be smoke-free. "We would love to see a number of places become smoke-free because it would protect people from . . . second-hand smoke," said Sonja Bradwell, a program specialist with the state Department of Health office. But she said the hiring policy seems drastic. "To me, it sounds like it could be a case of discrimination." Boca Raton Councilwomen Wanda Thayer and Susan Whelchel said Friday they support the idea. "It's probably a prudent step," Whelchel said. "Does that make smokers happy? Probably not. It's like saying I can't hire you if you don't type. Then don't apply." Staff researchers Dorothy Shea and Nicole Puccinelli Ortega contributed to this report. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This country needs more unemployed politicians.

[CTRL] Terrorist link to virus downplayed by CIA
-Caveat Lector- http://www.msnbc.com/news/321786.asp Terrorist link to virus downplayed Officials call encephalitis outbreak 'Mother Nature at work' ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK, Oct. 11 - The CIA looked into rumors that the recent encephalitis outbreak was the work of terrorists and concluded it wasn't, an agency official said Monday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there's no evidence Iraq or any other foreign government was involved in the outbreak. Symptoms of the strain include fever and headache. In rare cases, the virus can cause neurological disorders and death. The elderly, young and those with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable. THE CIA "looked into rumors which appeared in British media and elsewhere," the official said. City officials also downplayed any suggestions of bioterrorism. "Nothing indicates that this was anything other than a natural outbreak," Jerome Hauer, the director of the city's emergency management office, said Sunday. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said there was no evidence to suggest the recent outbreak was anything other than "Mother Nature at work." Analysts at the CIA who deal with biological weapons said an Iraqi defector had claimed in April that Saddam Hussein was developing a strain of West Nile-like encephalitis for use as a biological weapon, The New Yorker reported in its Oct. 18-25 double issue that hit newsstands today. APRIL 6 REPORT The report recalled by the analysts was published April 6 in the Daily Mail of London. It was an except from the book "In the Shadow of Saddam," written by Mikhael Ramadan. Ramadan claimed that he worked as one of Hussein's body doubles and that Hussein had told him of a plan to develop a strain of West Nile encephalitis that would kill 97 percent of people in an urban environment. The magazine said Ramadan was believed to be hiding somewhere in Canada or the United States. A strain of a West Nile-like virus has claimed the lives of six people in the New York area since it was discovered in early September. The mosquito-borne virus has infected 54 people in the New York metropolitan area - 39 in New York City, nine in Westchester county and six in Nassau. Symptoms of the strain include fever and headache. In rare cases, the virus can cause neurological disorders and death. The elderly, young and those with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable. © 1999 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

[CTRL] [Fwd: Dark rumors from Russia]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: SNET: [piml] Dark rumors from Russia Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 09:17:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> SNETNEWS Mailing List http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_nyquist/19991011_xcjny_dark_rumor.s html">Dark rumors from Russia http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_nyquist/19991011_xcjny_dark_rumor.shtml Dark rumors from Russia --- © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com An American businessman in Moscow, the managing director of Matrix Technologies, recently described conditions in the Russian capital. He said the city is heavily patrolled by police and army units. Vehicles are routinely searched, papers are inspected, civil rights are violated. But Moscow's police are not simply looking for terrorists. They are also looking for "military-aged individuals" and persons with medical experience. These are being taken for military training as part of a "general preparation for war." We know that the Russian military began to expand its manpower base in April, during the crisis in Kosovo. At that time nearly 170,000 new recruits were called up in a special Russian military draft. There were also reports that between 80,000 and 100,000 volunteers were recruited to fight NATO in the Balkans. Throughout Russia, as well as other former Soviet republics, there have been rumors that hundreds of thousands of convicts have been offered amnesty in exchange for military service. If you examine the naval and marine exercises of the past six months (especially in the context of the mobilization of Russia's Black Sea Fleet), one cannot escape the suspicion that naval and marine reserves have also been mobilized. We know from Russian press reports that troops of the Interior Ministry and Federal Security Service were secretly mobilized last month. Exact numbers have not been published, though the strength of MVD and FSS reserve forces is probably well over 200,000. What we have inklings of, and what we read about in the Russian press, suggests a large-scale military preparation. This preparation cannot be explained by the situation in Chechnya. After all, Chechnya is a small place, without a real army or air force. It should be pointed out that these Russian mobilizations are too large for the Chechen theater of operations. It is remarkable, in this context, that we are constantly reading of the weakness of Russia's conventional armed forces. To give one example, we read in a Oct. 7 Reuters article by Martin Nesirky that "Russia now finds itself short of conventional weapons to fight Chechen guerrillas in its own backyard." Nesirky writes of a contrast between Russia's "creaking kit in the field and shining missiles in silos. ..." But this is an incorrect characterization. While it is true that Russia has announced plans to deploy a second regiment of Topol-M ICBMs this year, and Russia's nuclear forces are wonderfully modernized, it is untrue that Russia's conventional forces lack equipment. As it happens, we can deduce the minimum amount of military hardware the Russians are deploying by doing a little homework. In November of 1990 the Kremlin signed the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty (CFE). This treaty limited the Russians to deploying 20,000 battle tanks, 20,000 artillery tubes, 6,800 combat aircraft, 30,000 other armored vehicles, and 2,000 attack helicopters west of the Urals. In this context, it has been widely acknowledged that Russia never conformed to the CFE Treaty. (Even the Encyclopedia Britannica has numerous articles acknowledging Russian noncompliance with CFE.) In fact, the Russian General Staff was blamed -- early on -- for sabotaging the treaty. In the last few days the Kremlin has announced that it is presently exceeding CFE force limits due to the crisis in the north Caucasus. The number of 20,000 tanks is a gigantic figure. It is several times the number of tanks used by Hitler to invade Russia in 1941. The number of 6,800 combat aircraft is also huge. If Russia is exceeding CFE limits in any of these areas then we cannot -- we must not! -- say that Russia has an under-equipped army. The military mobilization in Russia is something real. The official reason for this mobilization is not to be trusted. As I have said before, far more power is being mobilized than would be needed to crush tiny Chechnya. So what is up? What are the Russian generals getting ready for? Members of an American church, who recently returned from mission work in one of Russia's largest cities, reported contacts with Russian soldiers. These soldiers were "very disturbed" because they believed the present Russian mobilization is aimed at the United States -- not Chechnya. In a related report, a recent American visitor to Russia was privately informed by a Russian military officer that Russia had been preparing for war against America for the last 17

[CTRL] [Fwd: [MC] Andrja Puharich & The Council of Nine]
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: [MC] Andrja Puharich & The Council of Nine Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 12:02:38 -0700 From: "Kasten, Kathy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Kasten, Kathy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The Hathors" in new clothing? Just another CIA controlled experiment? Fortean Times; FT126, 1999; Plan Nine From Outer Space, by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, pages 34-39. (snips) Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the history of The Nine is its relationship to the career of Andrija Puharich. Recent research has revealed Puharich to have a distinctly sinister side. As an Army doctor in the 1950s, he was deeply involved with the CIA's notorious MKULTRA mind control project (see panel). He - together with the infamous Dr. Sidney Gottlieb - experimented with a variety of techniques to change or induce actual thought processes . . . even to creating the impression of voices in the head. These techniques included the use of drugs, hypnosis and beaming radio signals directly into the subject's brain. And, significantly, he was engaged in this work at exactly the same time that The Nine made their appearance at the Round Table Foundation. The Foundation itself is now known to have been largely funded by the Pentagon as a front for its medical and parapsychological research. Puharich was still working for the CIA in the early 1970s, when he brought Uri Geller out of Israel. Puharich's use of hypnosis is particularly interesting in The Nine circle. In the case of Uri Geller and Bobby Horne, he first hypnotized them and then suggested that they were in touch with The Nine - and, lo, they were! Ira Einhorn - a close associate of Puharich's during the 1970s - confirmed to us that he believed that Puharich was "humanly directly" The Nine communications. The evidence we have gathered strongly suggests that Tom (KK's: equals Atum - head of the Nine, all the rest of the Nine used Egyptian names) and his fellow gods originated, not in the stars, but behind closed doors as part of a CIA mind control experiment. And what happened to that experiment? Now with hundreds of thousands of devotees, some in very high places, can The Nine be deemed a success? Of course, that depends very much on what the CIA had in mind. With their subtle racist propaganda, perhaps the flaky New Age Nine should worry the hell out of us. - - - - The Panel quotes from David Guyatt's "Police State of Mind"; FT95:34-39. IMPORTANT NOTE: Terry Milner's unpublished material - which I have quoted from and labeled private e-mail - is now available in a website: http://www.hia.com/pcr/ Einhorn's comments are from an interview, August 27, 1998 Geller's comments are from an interview, February 10, 1998 The article notes the role James Hurtak has played with regard to The Nine: "Hurtak was second-in-command and 'spiritual leader' of the Ossining Group (KK's: Puharich's group/home/Round Table Foundation) Group and occasionally investigated UFO incidents with intelligence implications or connections. Via his Academy for Future Sciences (AFFS), he confirmed that Puharich worked for the US intelligence services. Source: private email to the authors from Kim Farmer of AFFS, 24, Sept 1998." Notes on Uri Geller: "Geller's position on the events has been that, as he was in hypnotic trance when channeling, he cannot vouch for the reliability of either the information or its source. He does, however, confirm some of the paranormal events that surrounded him and Puharich during their partnership, which Puharich has attributed to The Nine. But faced with the sheer pointlessness of these events, Geller himself - in August 1972 - was moved to muse that, if extraterrestrials were indeed responsible, they would seem to be 'a civilisation of clowns'". Source: Puharich, "Uri." Geller & Playfair, The Geller Effect." Notes on Jack Sarfatti: "Sarfatti, an avant-garde physicist who worked for the Esalen Institute in the late 1970s, knew many of the key players at Lab Nine, including Puharich. In autobiographical writings on the web, Sarfatti refers to intelligence connections of Puharich and others involved in the Nine scene, including their involvement in CIA mind-control research.

The anti-smoking rule -- already in effect for about 700 city employees through union contracts for police, firefighters and blue-collar workers -- is expanded to all 1,100-odd employees in revamped personnel policies to be reviewed by city council members Tuesday. Smoking is already off-limits in Boca Raton government buildings and one city park, but the new rule would extend into an employee's home and entire life. Workers already on the payroll may continue to smoke on their free time. As may council members: Mayor Carol Hanson is a longtime smoker, and at least two other council members smoke occasionally. Officials are proposing the citywide ban because fewer smokers means lower health insurance premiums for all employees. While such a measure is not common among municipal governments, it is practiced in several cities including Coral Gables, North Miami and Clinton, Iowa. The American Civil Liberties Union contested the no-more-smokers rule in North Miami as a violation of state privacy laws, but the Florida Supreme Court upheld the rule. The court said the lower insurance costs outweighed the privacy issue. "The ACLU's position is that it's improper for the government to punish people for a perfectly legal activity conducted in the privacy of their own home," said Andy Kayton, legal director of the ACLU of Florida. "Where does the line get drawn when you're talking about legal activities?" Jackie Miller of St. Petersburg, president of Florida's Smokers' Rights Association, agreed: "I don't think it has any bearing on how a person does their job. It's an outrageous idea." Kayton said the policy opens the door to ban people who have consumed alcohol, are overweight, had unprotected sex or even ate red meat in the last year. Although it may sound farfetched, newspaper reports show one city -- Athens, Ga., contemplated banning applicants with high cholesterol. Boca Raton police officer and union President Rick Barnett said the no-smokers policy is for the best in the long run, but it does limit the pool of applicants. Boca Raton lost a good police officer because of the ban, Barnett said. An experienced officer left the department to work at a private business and later returned to town and reapplied. But because he had smoked a cigar at a function, he wasn't eligible because he had not been smoke-free for a year. The expanded rule to be considered Tuesday doesn't say how long new hires must be smoke-free. "We would love to see a number of places become smoke-free because it would protect people from . . . second-hand smoke," said Sonja Bradwell, a program specialist with the state Department of Health office. But she said the hiring policy seems drastic. "To me, it sounds like it could be a case of discrimination." Boca Raton Councilwomen Wanda Thayer and Susan Whelchel said Friday they support the idea. "It's probably a prudent step," Whelchel said. "Does that make smokers happy? Probably not. It's like saying I can't hire you if you don't type. Then don't apply."

[CTRL] Pilger: What is the "int'l community" really doing in E Timor?
-Caveat Lector- Subject: Pilger: What is the "int'l community" really doing in E Timor? The Guardian [UK] Tuesday October 5, 1999 Comment Australia's under side Canberra has looked the other way to protect western business interests in Indonesia John Pilger What is the "international community" really doing in East Timor? After their arrival almost two weeks ago, Australian troops have secured only the capital, Dili, and a few towns. In West Timor, fewer than a dozen foreign aid workers struggle to guarantee the safety of 230,000 refugees, including 35,000 children, while the power of life and death remains with the Indonesian military. An explanation is offered in a remarkable interview given by John Howard, the Australian prime minister, in which he described his government as Washington's deputy sheriff. What mattered was the "stability" of Indonesia, and the protection of western business interests. His honesty, or garrulousness, is to be applauded, along with his historical accuracy. From the Boxer rebellion to Vietnam, Australians have fought the battles of the great imperial powers. In 1989, Australian troops were sent to Bougainville, an island off Papua New Guinea, and site of a huge mining operation by the multinational Rio Tinto. The Bougainvilleans had taken over the mine and the island, in a bid for independence. East Timor is no exception. When Australia's then prime minister Gough Whitlam met the Indonesian dictator Suharto in 1974, his message was that the Portuguese colony was Jakarta's for the taking. The two leaders, reported the Melbourne Age, "agreed last weekend that the best and most realistic future for Timor was association with Indonesia". The East Timorese were not asked. One year later, Indonesia invaded. As the UN security council deliberated on how to respond, the US secretly re-armed the invaders while the Australian representative at the UN, Ralph Harry, presented the invasion as a civil war with "elements" of the Indonesian military. In 1982, Whitlam, although no longer in office, made an extraordinary appearance at the UN, where he declared: "It is high time the question of East Timor was voted off the UN agenda." As he spoke, the sea around East Timor was being explored by Australian companies for vast deposits of oil and gas: a preliminary act of grand larceny at the centrepiece of the Australian establishment's "special relationship" with the Indonesian dictatorship. Richard Woolcott, Canberra's ambassador in Jakarta who had been tipped off by the Indonesians that they planned to invade East Timor, set up a propaganda body, the Indonesia-Australia Institute, funded by the government. On its board was Paul Kelly, editor-in-chief of Australia's only national newspaper, the Australian, owned by Rupert Murdoch. Kelly introduced other editors to Suharto in Jakarta and his newspaper described the dictatorship, one of the most blood-soaked of the late 20th century, as "moderate". For years, none of them heard, or wanted to hear, the cries of the East Timorese. In 1991, when it was impossible to ignore evidence that hundreds of unarmed East Timorese had been killed in the Santa Cruz cemetery in Dili, the Australian foreign minister, Gareth Evans, described the massacre as an "aberration". Major-General Sintog Panjaitan, the senior Indonesian officer responsible for the massacre, was invited to Canberra as an honoured guest of the Australian military. Ali Alatas, Indonesia's foreign minister and principal apologist for that and other massacres, was awarded the Order of Australia, the country's highest honour. While Prime Minister Bob Hawke raged against Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, saying that "big countries can't expect to invade little countries and get away with it", he neglected to mention that Australia had recognised Indonesia's illegal occupation of its small, defenceless neighbour. A "historic" military pact with Jakarta followed, including plans for Indonesian-Australian operations in "counter-terrorism". The proud heirs of Anzac were formally integrated into Indonesia's war effort against the East Timorese. In July last year, a senior Australian aid worker in East Timor warned that the Indonesian military was setting up militia gangs. He was dismissed as "alarmist". In November, Canberra was told that a 400-member assassination squad of the Indonesian special forces, Kopassus, had been sent to East Timor. The defence minister, John Moore, flew to Jakarta and reassured the regime that Australian policy was to "prop up the institution [of the military] as best we can". As this summer's bloody events unfolded, the Howard government was told by Australian intelligence that Indonesia planned a "scorched earth" in East Timor following the independence vote. Yet it was on Australia's insistence that the UN gave the Indonesian military responsibility for the security of the independence referendum in August - a decision that led inexorably to the deaths

-Caveat Lector- From: "Jane S.

What if they found out that the actors on "Star Trek" were actually playing Ashtar Command? Have you ever noticed that the Star Trek insignia looks like the letter "A?" It is documented in The Only Planet of Choice, compiled by Phyllis V. Schlemmer and Palden Jenkins (Bath, England: Gateway Books, 1993), that Gene Roddenberry attended channelling sessions led by Ms. Schlemmer and "Tom" of the "Council of Nine" "Council of Nine: Tribunal Teachers governing our immediate super-galactic and galactic region, subject to change in evolving 'new programs' of the Father's kingdom.). It has been alluded to from other sources that Roddenberry had been a Commander or received his inspiration from sitting in on channelling sessions." (The Book of Knowledge:The Keys of Enoch (Los Gatos, CA: The Academy for Future Sciences, 1977) The following is an exerpt from The Only Planet of Choice (p. 95-99) Gene: There's a question that I cannot avoid asking: why do you not give strong and definite signs of your existence or proximity, on top of approaching humanity by indirect means such as these channelings, or other ways? Obviously, you have your reasons, but this question does matter to me. Tom: It is of great importance for you to understand that your governments of your world of Earth have refused to publicly believe, or convey to the people, our existence. If there were an attempt by civilisations to land upon Planet Earth in a mass situation, which in truth will come to pass in the course of time, the people upon Planet Earth would panic, for they have not the understanding, the knowledge, that we would mean no harm to them... ...It is important that there is no panic amongst those that exist on the Planet Earth: that the knowledge be brought to them in gentleness, that those of the Twenty-Four civilisations mean no harm to them. This is of great importance, for if there were panic, humans may then attempt to end their own life, and also the lives of their families and neighbors, which would not serve any purpose. The governments of your world have refused to accept publicity that there are others of a higher intelligence , and in truth of a more spiritual intelligence than those that exist upon the planet Earth. We need to convey to the people that there are others that mean them no harm, but have an interest in saving Planet EarthWe do not come to control, we do not come to hold in bondage, we will come with love and patience and understanding - but since there is the denial of our existence, how can those of Planet Earth accept that the civilisations of Altea, Hoova, Ashan, and the rest of the Twenty-Four mean well? Gene: I have another question that I think people will wonder about: on previous tapes of your conversations I heard you explain that you constantly know the thoughts of either all of us or those who communicate with you, am I correct in this assumption? Tom: If we have the wish to help you, yes. But we wish you to understand that we do not invade the mind, we do not control the will, we do not interfere with freedom: we do not interfere. It would not be of service..they may have the abilities within them, but it would not benefit Planet Earth to use them - nor would it benefit them. That would be an invasion of a soul. Gene: I have been most impressed by the communications, the expressions and atmosphere that surround all the people here, but I do have some difficulties in understanding why, if you are in the minds of humans at times, and your representatives have visited Earth, and you have a knowledge of human affairs I find it difficult to understand how you have difficulty speaking with us, and understanding our basic colloquial English? Could you help me with that? Tom: We will explain that. The Civilisations have indeed visited Earth, but do you understand that when you have communication with your mind, it is not necessary to have words? It is difficult from where we are to give explanations in your words. We have concepts that cannot be explained in your language, for you do not have the words to explain. If you could read our mind...if we could communicate with your mind in the essence of pure telepathy, then we could convey to you what we are trying to transmit Gene: Thank you. You mentioned that at some stage there might be a large-scale landing of the civilisations. I think the next questions involve who and where, how and why; the first such question most people would ask is 'how?' In other words what method of transportation would be used in
[CTRL] Fwd: [spynews] Holocaust / A Larger Consciousness
This is a wonderful posting. Prudy In a message dated 10/10/1999 6:31:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << A LARGER CONSCIOUSNESS By Howard Zinn ZNet Commentary / Oct 10 / Some years ago, when I was teaching at Boston University, I was asked by a Jewish group to give a talk on the Holocaust. I spoke that evening, but not about the Holocaust of World War II, not about the genocide of six million Jews. It was the mid-Eighties, and the United States government was supporting death squad governments in Central America, so I spoke of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of peasants in Guatemala and El Salvador, victims of American policy. My point was that the memory of the Jewish Holocaust should not be encircled by barbed wire, morally ghettoized, kept isolated from other genocides in history. It seemed to me that to remember what happened to Jews served no important purpose unless it aroused indignation, anger, action against all atrocities, anywhere in the world. A few days later, in the campus newspaper, there was a letter from a faculty member who had heard me speak - a Jewish refugee who had left Europe for Argentina, and then the United States. He objected strenuously to my extending the moral issue from Jews in Europe in the 1940s to people in other parts of the world, in our time. The Holocaust was a sacred memory. It was a unique event, not to be compared to other events. He was outraged that, invited to speak on the Jewish Holocaust, I had chosen to speak about other matters. I was reminded of this experience when I recently read a book by Peter Novick, THE HOLOCAUST IN AMERICAN LIFE. Novick's starting point is the question: why, fifty years after the event, does the Holocaust play a more prominent role in this country -- the Holocaust Museum in Washington, hundreds of Holocaust programs in schools -- than it did in the first decades after the second World War? Surely at the core of the memory is a horror that should not be forgotten. But around that core, whose integrity needs no enhancement, there has grown up an industry of memorialists who have labored to keep that memory alive for purposes of their own. Some Jews have used the Holocaust as a way of preserving a unique identity, which they see threatened by intermarriage and assimilation. Zionists have used the Holocaust, since the 1967 war, to justify further Israeli expansion into Palestianian land, and to build support for a beleaguered Israel (more beleaguered, as David Ben-Gurion had predicted, once it occupied the West Bank and Gaza). And non-Jewish politicians have used the Holocaust to build political support among the numerically small but influential Jewish voters - note the solemn pronouncements of Presidents wearing yarmulkas to underline their anguished sympathy. I would never have become a historian if I thought that it would become my professional duty to go into the past and never emerge, to study long-gone events and remember them only for their uniqueness, not connecting them to events going on in my time. If the Holocaust was to have any meaning, I thought, we must transfer our anger to the brutalities of our time. We must atone for our allowing the Jewish Holocaust to happen by refusing to allow similar atrocities to take place now - yes, to use the Day of Atonement not to pray for the dead but to act for the living, to rescue those about to die. When Jews turn inward to concentrate on their own history, and look away from the ordeal of others, they are, with terrible irony, doing exactly what the rest of the world did in allowing the genocide to happen. There were shameful moments, travesties of Jewish humanism, as when Jewish organizations lobbied against a Congressional recognition of the Armenian Holocaust of 1915 on the ground that it diluted the memory of the Jewish Holocaust. Or when the designers of the Holocaust Museum dropped the idea of mentioning the Armenian genocide after lobbying by the Israeli government. (Turkey was the only Moslem government with which Israel had diplomatic relations.) Another such moment came when Elie Wiesel, chair of President Carter's Commission on the Holocaust, refused to include in a description of the Holocaust Hitler's killing of millions of non-Jews. That would be, he said, to "falsify" the reality "in the name of misguided universalism." Novick quotes Wiesel as saying "They are stealing the Holocaust from us." As a result the Holocaust Museum gave only passing attention to the five million or more non-Jews who died in the Nazi camps. To build a wall around the uniqueness of the Jewish Holocaust is to abandon the idea that humankind is all one, that we are all, of whatever color, nationality, religion, deserving of equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What happened to the Jews under Hitler is unique in its details but it shares universal characteristic

[CTRL] Psychiatry as Systematic Oppression
-Caveat Lector- http://www.wildestcolts.com/mentalhealth/enforcer.html Oppression is irrational. --John Breeding The Enforcer: Mental Health System Oppression as a STOP Sign on Liberation from Other Societal Oppressions by John Breeding, Ph.D. Originally published in the Austin Peace & Justice News Jan/Feb 1995. I was recently introduced to an extremely useful metaphor by Janet Foner, an international leader in the psychiatric survivor movement as well as co-chair of Support Coalition International, the broader coalition whose purpose it is to eliminate what many of us call "Mental Health System Oppression" (MHSO). The metaphor is that MHSO acts as a STOP sign on the road to liberation from other oppressions (e.g. racism, sexism, adultism, ...). I am writing here to share my thinking about three of the mechanisms by which MHSO acts to reinforce other societal oppressions. I am speaking from four basic assumptions. My first assumption is that all human beings share a natural disposition toward compassion and interconnectedness. Basic principles of social justice make sense to us, in every way. My second assumption is that oppressive systems and mechanisms, while serving the perceived short-term interests of the economically, politically, or socially privileged, isolate, injure, and degrade all of us, inevitably fostering fear, violence, and insecurity in all our relations. Hence, oppression is irrational. My third assumption is that, in addition to institutional and systemic forces, there exists, in most individuals, an internalized psychological process which serves to hold oppression in place. This process involves the suppression of emotional expressions associated with oppressive, hurtful experiences. It is my belief that this process thwarts the natural human behavior of resolving our emotional distress by expressing ourselves through rage, fear, or grief. With these assumptions in mind, I want to share now the mechanisms by which MHSO enforces or holds other oppressions in place. The first mechanism is in fact a meta-mechanism since it suppresses the natural process, referred to above, by which people resolve emotionally charged experiences. The core of MHSO, and its agency of institutional psychiatry, is suppression of emotional expression. Mainstream (meaning the agencies of the economically, politically, and socially powerful in society) mental health practices center around systematic inhibition of emotional expression. The heart of current practice is psychopharmacology. Other control patterns range from seemingly benevolent attempts to soothe away "too much crying" to cruel and severely damaging practices such as electric shock. Of course, all coercive (involuntary) treatment must be seen in this light. The second mechanism by which MHSC acts to hold oppression in place involves a trick of magic. A basic principle of magic involves illusion, one piece of which is called sleight-of-hand. Political versions involve so-called red herrings or straw men. The mechanism is indirection and illusion: "Now you see it, now you don't.". Before you get a glimpse of social injustice, let me show you mental illness." "Before you think about racism and economic injustice, let me show you genetic predisposition to violence in young black males." Institutional psychiatry has been so successful in their magic show that few people realize that "mental illness" is, at best, merely a metaphor. To quote Peter Breggin, foremost writer and outspoken challenger of the tenets of biopsychiatry: "It is scientifically incontrovertible that there is no convincing evidence that any condition routinely seen by psychiatrists has a genetic or biological origin." The concept of mental illness was originally created as a metaphor in order to establish medical/scientific credibility to the accepted practices of responding to people in distress or in deviance from social norms. The agency of biopsychiatry is performing the greatest magic show on earth. The incredible illusion of biologically caused mental illness serves as a powerful enforcer of oppression, consistently distracting our attention from the reality of social injustice and the devastating results on individuals and on society. I'll give you a hint now on one key to see through this illusion. Keep your eye on where the money goes. The third way that MHSO acts as a stop sign to enforce other oppressions has a much more elastic quality, adapting to specific groups and individuals. It really doesn't function as a clear universal symbol; I think it's more like law enforcement. It is hard to get hold of because the laws, though well-known, are unwritten. They are the laws of oppression, the laws of adultism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, anti-Semitism, etc. The mechanism is simple. If a person steps outside the bounds of the oppressive conditioning, (i.e. fails to act in the way that a child, woman, man, person of color, etc., is supposed to act), t
[CTRL] Galactic War III
-Caveat Lector- http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/4354/galactic_war.htm Galactic War III by Steve Omar/En Mar The interplanetary landlords of this fallen planet realized that power and domination only increases in proportion to ignorance. There were thousands of people who fought and died during the last world war, who died never really understanding what they had fought and died for. The deeper truths from World War Two were hidden in secret archives because they were too incredible for the masses. Most of the historians who recorded what happened during that global war never revealed most of what had really happened. Yet there were a few historians who glimpsed an incredible truth..so amazing that they never wrote about it because they themselves could not even comprehend it. Others who gazed on incredible revelations were afraid to release the truth, some fearing the readers would never comprehend it and others fearing the specter of the Iluminati that suppressed it from their educational institutions. lt was too bizarresounding like something out of a science fiction movie. Yet these hidden secrets were too important and immense for us to ignore and began leaking out through confiscated Nazi diaries, Naval intelligence agents who gazed at secret documents, and witnesses who talked before risking taking their secrets to their graves. In the early 1970s agents of Xian lnternational's Department of Mind, a civilian central intelligence expose agency, began to decipher the pieces of this super-puzzle...one of the biggest mysteries in the eons of timeand one of the greatest secrets of the last two millenniums. Why haven't the average citizens of the nations of the 1990s heard this alternative version of World War Two? The answer to that question comes partly from Hitler himself when he declared, "the real destiny of Man is something that ordinary men could not conceive of and would be unable to stomach if given a glimpse of it. Our revolution is a final stage in an evolution that will end by abolishing history. My party comrades have no conception of the dreams that haunt my mind or of the grandiose edifice of which the foundations, at least, will have been laid before I die. The world has reached a turning point, and will undergo an upheaval which you uninitiated people cannot understand." The aforementioned words were told to Nazi Party members who Hitler believed were not even ready for his heavy truths. The last world war was not simply a war fought between the Allies and the Axis or Democracy and Despotism. It was a war fought between Science and Magic, and science won. It was also the planetary battlefield of Galactic War III, when alien civilizations sponsoring the Nazis and alien civilizations sponsoring the Americans fought once again for control of planet Earth .. while using its unsuspecting armies as pawns in their interstellar conflict. It is a well documented publicized fact that Hitler often went into trances and spoke to his military commanders. His chair press officer, Dr. Dietrich testified his belief that Hitler was possessed by demons. Hitler told his High Command his belief in the Superman who had ruled the planet in the times of Atlantis and Thule, and after the war of the gods that led to the fall of Atlantis the Superman, who were the Masters of the World, had gone underground. Hitler said he took his orders for the Nazi conquest from the Superman who lived inside the Earth. In a conversation with, Governor Rausching, a man who tried to tell the Nazi Leader of the great difficulty of genetically creating a new species, Hitler replied "The New Man is living among us now! He is here! Isn't that I enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the New Man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him! However, the Sirian Orion conflict had been raging across the galaxy for millenniums.

-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart IF ANYONE STILL BELIEVES THE GENETIC ENGINEERING OF OUR FOOD SUPPLY IS A GREAT IDEA, THIS FIRST TEXT DEBUNKING THE 13 MYTHS ABOUT GENETIC ENGINEERING IS A *MUST* READ! THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN FROM A NEW ZEALAND PERSPECTIVE, BUT APPLIES JUST AS WELL TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, EXCEPT PERHAPS IN THE UK AND IN SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WHERE GMOs ARE VOCIFEROUSLY OPPOSED. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 7 Oct 1999 Subject: Excellent Debunking of the alleged "merits" of Genetic Engineering From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Grassroots Media Network) Forwarded from Robert Mann and the Cornell list: That a few scientists at the Dunedin Polytech could produce the following popular-level piece gives me some real hope. 13 Myths About Genetic Engineering Myth No. 1 - Genetic engineering (GE) is not new. It is just the same as speeded-up selective breeding. FACT: Genetic engineering (GE) and conventional breeding are worlds apart. Breeding does not manipulate genes; it involves crossing of selected parents of the same or closely related species. In contrast, GE involves extracting selected genes from one organism (e.g. animals, plants, insects, bacteria) and/or viruses, or synthesising copies, and artificially inserting them into another completely different organism (eg. food crops). GE usually employs virus genes to smuggle in and promote the inserted genes, and antibiotic resistance genes to act as markers. All these inserted genes are present in every cell of the plant. Myth No. 2 - Genetic engineering is precise. FACT: The function of only a small proportion of the DNA in a higher organism is known. Modern genetics has shown that genes do not operate in isolation. Rather they interact in a complicated way, changing their behaviour in response to influences from other genes. Although a gene can be cut out precisely from the DNA of an organism, its insertion into the DNA of another organism is entirely random. This results in the disruption of the order of the genes on the chromosome and may result in random and unexpected changes in the functioning of the cells. Richard Lewontin, Professor of Genetics at Harvard University, has said of GE: 'We have such a miserably poor understanding of how the organism develops from its DNA that I would be surprised if we don't get one rude shock after another.' Myth No. 3 - GE foods vary from non-GE foods only in the characteristic that has been modified. FACT: The random insertion of foreign genes into the genetic material may cause unexpected changes in the functioning of other genes. Existing molecules may be manufactured in incorrect quantities, at the wrong times, or new molecules may be produced. GE foods and food products may therefore contain unexpected toxins or allergenic molecules that could harm our health or that of our offspring. Myth No.4 - GE food is extensively tested and the GE food at present on our supermarket shelves is perfectly safe to eat. FACT: No GE food testing is done in New Zealand. We rely almost entirely on the testing carried out by the GE biotechnology companies that have spent billions of dollars developing the food and intend to make a profit selling it to us. There are serious doubts about the adequacy of the testing and the validity of the conclusions drawn from the results. Independent long-term testing is required before we can be sure that GE food is safe to eat. Another health concern is the possible acceleration of the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics due to the use of antibiotic resistance genes in the production of GE foods. Myth No. 5 - Genetically engineered food has improved nutritional value. FACT: No GE food produced to date has been shown to be more nutritious than non-GE food. Most GE crops are only designed to be resistant to specific herbicides, to produce their own insecticides or to have an increased shelf life. Myth No.6 - One can always choose not to eat GE food. FACT: At present most foods on New Zealand supermarket shelves containing GE ingredients are not labelled, so there is no way of knowing whether we are eating them. GE products are likely to be found in foods containing the following ingredients: Soya flour and oil (in many common foods including breads, sausages, etc.) Lecithin (in chocolate, ice cream etc.) Canola oil Corn (maize) extracts. Myth No. 7 - Farmers will benefit from growing GE crops. FACT: Seeds of genetically engineered crops are more expensive than those of conventional crops. Farmers in the UK and USA report that yields are generally no better, the crops are less reliable and overall have not improved profitability. Non-GE crops now receive a premium and as more countries reject GE foods, the opportunities to sell GE produce overseas are diminishing. Because of risks associated with GE crops insurance companies in the USA and UK are now reluctant to insure t

by Jim Keith
SECRETS FROM THE VATICAN LIBRARY
Since the move had been covert and the southerners desired to keep their own
friends in place among the northern elite, plans were quietly laid to
facilitate a successful southern effort in the event of overt action; stores
were replenished, training of mercenaries upgraded, and to culminate, the
Order of Knights Hospitallers of St. John - an order of
warrior-monks/provisioners -was founded, in AD 1070.
The northern clique being engaged, since earlier in that same century, in
one of their many in-fights for superiority, the southern clique had breath
space to consolidate their own lines until about AD 1080, at which time the
first full-scale small war took place between the two cliques, ending any
possibility of willful merger between the two elites. That it was Gregory
VII, in establishing (at the behest of the southern clique) the most
sweeping of Papal temporal powers, that initiated this attack by the north,
is immaterial; the southern clique had known for some time that the Muslim
mercenaries who sacked their coasts were in the employ of the north, which
by AD 1100 was being more and more dominated by the
Prussian/Bavarian/Zionist clique. Nonetheless, a concordat of sorts was
reached when Muslims not in European employ began taking advantage of the
factional in-fighting, and it was to a relatively united Europe that Urban
II promoted the First Crusade. It was at this time that the Order of Knights
Templars was founded, much a duplication of the Order of Hospitallers, but
less concerned with provisioning as with actual warfare.
That both orders served as bankers to much of the European elite, both
northern and southern cliques, led to struggles between the two groups,
which were to have dire consequences at a later date. There were, as yet,
some factions of the southern clique still true at heart to the precepts of
the Faith, rather than the power thereo{ and these factions saw their
opportunity in the power struggle between the Welf Family and the
Hohenstauffens, also called the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, respectively,
beginning in AD 1125. With the victory of the northern-sympathizing
Hohenstauffen clan, the balance of power began a slow but inexorable shift
to the northern clique, becoming ever more heavily dominated by the North
German/Zionist faction. The shift, however, was not immediately apparent to
the southern clique, who found themselves receiving a rather rude awakening
in AD 1154, when a northern candidate, one Nicholas Breakspear, became Pope
Adrian IV; almost immediately he gave Ireland as a gift to his mentor, Henry
II of England, which has resulted in nearly a millennium of domination of
the only northern ally of the southern clique.
The threat of a pincer movement set aside, the northern clique proceeded to
reinaugurate their original policy of covert whittling at the power of the
south, now invested very heavily in the Roman and Frankish aristocratic
factions. Regular sacrifice of Jewish commoners, under the direction of the
Zionist elite, was instituted to propitiate the deities still covertly
worshiped by the elite of the northern clique, now merged into the Zionist
deity (which had never been the same God worshiped by the Jewish commoners,
as examination of coins and other artifacts of the Third Temple Period will
clearly show). These regular sacrifices date to approximately 1190, and
following quick on the heels of this, comes the escalation of northern
preparations for outright struggle against the south; the Order of Teutonic
Knights and the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, precursors to the later
Prussian Orders, date to the period AD 1190 - 1210. With the Hospitallers
and Knights Templars engaged in a war of attrition that killed nearly as
many of their number as their battles against the Muslims, and the
Dominicans fully engaged, from AD 1208, in pitched battle with nonconformist
southern sub-cliques and covert actions in England, the Teutonic Knights and
their cohorts had a clear field to engage as they would; upon absorbing the
Livonian Brothers of the Sword in 1237, they were nearly unstoppable.
Their early success they attributed to a massive propitiative sacrifice of
European children, in AD 1212. This affair, which began with the promotion
of what was called the "Children's Crusade", drained an untold number of
Europe's youngest into the clutches of the Teutons; a massive number were
indeed slaughtered in ritual sacrifice, and perhaps twice that number were
sold into slavery to the Muslims. Once again. the 'prayers' of the
Teutonic/Zionist clique appeared to have been answered, as with their defeat
at the hands of the Mongols in AD 1256, survivors of the Order of Assassins,
the Ishmaelis, of Hasan I Sabah, began trickling into Europe, seeking
sanctuary among the similarly-inclined Teutonic/Zionist clique. With the

He was poisoned in 1303, and succeeded by Benedict XI - who attempted to follow in Boniface's footsteps and was poisoned himself in 1304. Philippe IV of France, engaged in his war with the Templars as early as 1307, finally offered Pope Clement V sanctuary in France, and the Papal court moved in that year to Avignon, a coup for the French faction over the Romans. So paranoid did the Papal court become that, in 1316 (while the remnants of the Templars were strengthening the northern clique), John XXII sent a squad of heavily-armed Dominicans south to Ethiopia to chase down a reported Patriarch with valid Roman Apostolic succession, recorded in history as "Prester John." In 1326, the Teutonic Knights made a foray into Poland; prisoners were taken by the Poles, and several talked, divulging not only the brief bits they knew of general policy, but also their knowledge of the sacrifices of Jewish commoners - these reports sickened the Poles, who, upon repelling the Teutons in 1333-34, extended a general sanctuary to all European Jewry. As news spread through the sub-elites of the southern clique, outrage was the order of the day. while the southern clique was capable of sustained violence, and the torture of captive enemies, the thought of a program of ritual human sacrifice appalled them, causing them to begin pulling somewhat closer together, at least to discuss this aspect of the northern threat. Though several of the aristocratic sub-cliques had learnt of this practice as long back as 1190, it had been regarded as something between a rumor and an aberration; now, however, with proof wrested from Teutonic Knights by the Poles, it took on an immediacy. The northern clique, of course, knew very quickly that their practices were known by the southerners, but were more upset by what they considered the southerners' pretensions. In order to break the south, now when all seemed going their way, the northern clique (with the especial help of England's Edward III) caused the collapse of the Bardi Financier clique in Rome, who had been, after the Hospitallers, the bankers of Europe. Edward, of course, benefitted by not being required to pay any of the sizable loans he'd received from the Bardis; the northern clique could now attempt to wrest control of finance from the south. By this time, the midpoint of the fourteenth century, it was becoming something of a race; since the initial expedition to the North American continent, neither side of the conflict had been in a position to exploit the virgin lands. The north, while having the advantage of unity under autocratic rule, had not the requisite wealth to exploit the Americas; the south-em clique, for whom wealth was no problem, had not the unity to mount a proper expedition. Both cliques realized that control of the vast wealth of the western continents would ensure lasting victory. While the northern houses of the Templars had brought with them a cache of gold, it had been scant - Philippe IV had systematically confiscated the available wealth of the order during the seven years of his program against them, and most of this had been disbursed to the Templars-cum-Hospitallers thereafter, remaining under southern clique control. The northern clique, growing desperate, authorized their Assassins to introduce into southern Europe the bubonic plague, known as the "Black Death," in 1348. Ultimately, the plague would kill perhaps one-quarter of the European & Asian population, as much as one-third of Europe alone, and scattered outbreaks would continue well into the present century, somewhat backfiring on the northern clique. Nonetheless, it had much the desired effect, in its own way, weakening the south sufficiently to allow the north to reinstate its program of large-scale sacrifice of Jewish commoners, forcing large numbers of Jews to seek the asylum of Poland, beginning one year after introduction of the plague, in 1349. The south learned of the north's complicity even as the plague ravaged the population, forever altering the balance of power and social structure of the con tinent. A force of Dominicans pushed south into deep Africa in an attempt to settle a safe base, free from the contagion of Europe; they had begun construction of stone fortifications at Great Zimbabwe when they were attacked and slaughtered by a force of Teutonic Knights, who took over the construction with the use of slave labor, culled from among the indigenous population; hopelessly outnumbered and operating far from any hope of relief, the Teutons were in turn slaughtered by an uprising of the native s
Re: [CTRL] research and memory
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Here's some information about research and memory. Sincerely, Neil Brick quotes from http://idealist.com/tat/98-07-02-did.shtml DID: Research and Pseudoscience by Stephanie Dallam RN, MSN, FNP Treating Abuse Today Vol 8 No 3 May - June, 1998 pp. some of the most egregious abuses of science have come from those who attack the validity of the diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (formally called multiple personality disorder or MPD). Below are some examples of how bias and personal opinion can masquerade as serious research. Harold Merskey, a Canadian psychiatrist and vocal critic of MPD. In his paper titled "The Manufacture of Personalities: The Production of Multiple Personality Disorder," Dr. Merskey (1992) contends that all MPD is artifactual, caused either by publicity or by therapists, and that MPD is a form of malingering. Merskey does not, however, provide empirical data to support these contentions. In a critique of Merskey's thesis, Charles Barton (1994) pointed out that MPD skeptics have failed to generate a significant body of scientific evidence in support of their claims, and are not able to cite scientific reasons for rejecting a particular notion.. Barton specifically notes that Merskey failed to critically examine the research supporting the existence of MPD and offered no systematic criticism of MPD. Merskey (1994) responds to Barton's critique by claiming that he is aware of the MPD literature; however, the evidence is "not impressive, not carrying conviction, and lacks validity." In one sentence, Merskey dismisses years of scientific research, thus leveling the debate to one man's opinion against another's Dr. Paul R. McHugh (1995), head of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, maintains that the majority of MPD patients "do not come to treatment reporting a sexual assault in childhood." According to McHugh, "Only as the therapy is developed is the possibility that they were sexually abused as children suggested to them." In addition, McHugh contends that some therapists read more into these symptoms than they warrant, and suggest to patients that their symptoms represent the subtle actions of alternative personalities. Suddenly, according to McHugh, the patient is transformed into "odd people with repeated shifts of demeanor and deportment that they display on command." McHugh does not cite any data to support these assertions. Nor does he acknowledge the numerous studies which refute his characterization of MPD patients. A cursory review of the literature reveals abundant studies utilizing reliable diagnostic instruments which have documented a significant relationship between childhood sexual abuse and dissociative symptoms. In addition, several studies present objective verification of both dissociative symptoms and severe abuse during childhood in a both adults and children subsequently diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID). a study by Dr, Philip M. Coons and others (1988) assessed 50 consecutive adults with MPD using clinical history, psychiatric interview, neurological examination, EEG, MMPI, intelligence testing, and a variety of psychiatric rating scales. The data suggested that the etiology of MPD was strongly related to childhood trauma and was not an underlying neurologic dysfunction Coons (1994) sought to determine, whether external corroboration of child abuse could be found in a group of children diagnosed with MPD and Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS). In a retrospective chart review of 31 subjects, ranging in age from 5- to 17-years of age, child abuse was confirmed in eight of 9 patients with MPD and in all 12 cases of DDNOS many of the individuals who argue that DID is an iatrogenic creation. Since there is scant literature to support this contention, they often cite a handful of experiments with college students in which hypnotized students were successfully encouraged to act as if they had a secondary personality. DID critics claim that these studies prove that multiple personalities can be created experimentally-which, in turn, proves MPD is an iatrogenic creation of the treating therapist...In actuality, none of the experiments with normal college students have resulted in the creation of anything even remotely resembling full clinical DID. As DID expert Colin Ross (1997, p. 234) notes, none of the analogs created in college students meet the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS) or Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Dissociative Disorders (SCID-D) profile of DID. None of the students were asked to complete the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) or other standard measures used to screen for DID. In addition, none of the role enactments of DID persisted outside of the laboratory, and none of the student subjects required treatment for their DID. An example of over-generalizing from research and over-stating conclusions can be found in the paper "Creating F

-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 00:45:59 +0200 (IST) From: barry chamish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: MICHAEL SPITZER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: HI RABIN'S LAST DOCTOR by Barry Chamish We now enter the realm of the truly bizarre as we look at the doctor who last examined Yitzhak Rabin, the State Pathologist, Dr. Yehuda Hiss. Israelis know too well that their government's coroner is corrupt. In September 1999, Judge Ruth Orr overturned a conviction against a Jewish resident of Judea and Samaria for the shooting murder of an Arab boy because she accused Dr. Hiss of forging the forensic evidence against him. It was the second time in a year that a murder conviction was overturned because Hiss had falsified an autopsy for political purposes. He had earlier been caught doctoring the facts to secure a wrongful rap against the parents of a murdered child. His biggest fabrication of all occurred after the country's most ghastly scandal was proven. In the first decade of Israel's existence, the Labor government kidnapped over 4500 babies, mostly of new Yemenite immigrant parents, and sold them off for adoption and medical experiments, mostly abroad. Through the efforts of Yemenite groups fighting to expose this crime, three years ago one mother, Margalit Omeisse was reunited with her daughter Celia Levine, given up for adoption to a California couple almost half a century before. Besides looking like twins, the Hebrew University genetics laboratory proved they were mother and daughter by DNA testing. Dr. Hiss retested the two for the government and lo and behold, found that Hebrew University was wrong. And that's why his nickname in certain circles is Dr. Coverup. People started calling him that about a year after the Rabin assassination. He conducted a partial autopsy of Rabin and concluded he was shot twice in the back from medium range. In 1996, Rabin's hospital records were uncovered and over ten doctors and nurses signed very different accounts of Rabin's demise. He was actually shot three times, twice from point blank range and once frontally in the upper chest. On top of that, Rabin's spine was shattered and Hiss categorically reported that it wasn't. Because the patsy Yigal Amir never shot from point blank range or from the front, and because the assassination film proved Rabin's spine could not have been broken since he kept right on walking after the shot to his back, somebody must have asked Hiss to alter the medical facts. So he did and then the government's commission of inquiry into the murder adopted Hiss's lies as the official version of Rabin's death. So we knew that Hiss was corrupt and that he molded his reports to fit government orders. What we didn't know was that he is also genuinely ghoulish. Avi and Nitzana (Darshan) Leitner are Yigal Amir's attorneys. They also represent another victim of Dr. Hiss, the family of Alisdair Sinclair. On April 14, 1998, 47 year old Alisdair Sinclair, was stopped by customs officials at Ben Gurion Airport on his way out of the country after a six day stay. They found 9000 Deutsche marks in a false bottom of his handbag and he was arrested without charge. The police thought the false bottom suggested something illegal though hiding a large amount of money is a legitimate means of thwarting theft. At the airport police station, Sinclair was found strangling on his shoelaces. He was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead. >From there his body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute For Forensic Medicine and straight into the paws of Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who conducted an autopsy which concluded that Sinclair had killed himself. After that, there was a problem with the body. Sinclair was unmarried, his parents weren't alive and he had been living a rather rootless life in Amsterdam dealing in vintage guitars and strumming them at local pubs. It took three days to track down his family in Scotland and the police offered to bury him in Israel. The family refused and paid about $5000 to fly the corpse home. On May 13, another autopsy was conducted, at the University of Glasgow and guess what? The hyoid bone at the base of the tongue was missing and so was the heart. Both were removed by Dr. Hiss. But why? No problem guessing why the hyoid bone was gone. It would reveal that Sinclair did not hang himself but was strangled by other means. But the heart..? Avi Leitner can only say, "Our best guess is that Hiss is involved the the black market trade in human organs. We can't prove that yet, but it seems the most likely motive for removing a healthy heart." Leitner's supposition is supported by the fact that for the past four months, Hiss's employers, Israel Police, have been investigating charges that he removed the organs of fallen soldiers without notifying their parents. Incredibly, a most unlikely source provides an even spookier motive. But let's get on with the

Well, well. This is interesting. I think it is time to set the record straight myself. The "militant gang" that is/was AIM, and two FBI agents dead. I guess that is the fault of the American Indians. Never mind the fact that the Fed's went in there on bogus charges, that they may have opened fire first, and that they never identified themselves as Federal Agents until long after the Indians were attacked and, quite rightly, wished to defend themselves. Never mind that they hold Peltier in jail on trumped up charges for a crime he could not have committed because he wasn't even present, never mind that they won't give him the medical aid that he needs.

The documents reveal that World Bank loans were used to modernize the Chinese defense industry. "The objective of the project is to support the [Chinese] Government's continuing reforms in technology policy and institutions so as to promote the development of clear, productivity-enhancing technologies in China's industries," states a 1995 report written by the Industry and Energy Operations Division of the World Bank. According to the World Bank report, "The [Chinese] Government will pass on US $194.3 million of the loan proceeds through SPC [State Planning Commission] to eligible sub-borrowers in the form of sub-loans, with the Golden China Corporation acting on its behalf as a financial agent." However, according to the Defense Department, "Golden China Corporation" and many of the so-called "engineering research centers" supported by the World Bank loans actually were owned and operated by the Chinese military's COSTIND, which stands for the Chinese Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. For example, the World Bank provided: - $5 million to the Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research for "rare earth materials" used in chemical, aviation and nuclear power stations. The Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research is part of the China National Nuclear Corp., or CNNC, producer of all nuclear weapons for the Chinese military. - More than $5 million to the Harbin Research Institute for "welded steel products" used in aviation and shipbuilding. Harbin was identified by the Department of Defense as a Chinese Army front used to purchase Allied Signal turbo-fan engines for the People's Liberation Army Air Force, or PLAAF, in 1996. - More than $4 million to the Marine Design and Research Institute of China for "ship-design software and services." The Marine Design and Research Institute is part of the China National Ship Building Corp. and the primary design facility for all Chinese warships, including nuclear-powered submarines. The loans to the Chinese military from the World Bank also financed several moneymaking ventures for the PLA. For example, the World Bank provided $5.5 million to the China Textile Academy for "productivity enhancement." According to a 1997 Rand Corp. report on the Chinese defense industry, the profits from People's Liberation Army business ventures such as textile exports are split between the PLA generals and the Chinese military. The Chinese army profits are used to purchase advanced weapons, build new barracks for troops and provide medical services for PLA officers. The Chinese generals use their slice of the profits for "lavish parties, foreign luxury automobiles and Swiss bank accounts," according to the Rand report. Thus, there is little money left to provide environmental protection or improve working conditions. Of course, the Clinton administration claims that it is impossible to identify PLA-owned companies. Despite the difficulty, President Clinton is required by law to perform this task. The Fowler amendment, signed into law by Clinton on Oct. 17, 1998, requires that a list of companies controlled by the PLA and operating in the United States be published in the Federal Register by Jan. 15, 1999. So far, Clinton has ignored the law and refused to expose these PLA operations. On Sept. 24 the 10 top leaders in the House of Representatives wrote a letter to Clinton, demanding immediate compliance with U.S. law requiring public disclosure of China's PLA-owned companies doing business in the United States. According to House members, the Clinton White House claimed in September 1999 to have assigned the task of identifying the PLA companies to the Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA. According to Al Santoli, an aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, the DIA quietly has informed congressional leaders that the White House did not ask them to prepare such a list. In short, the White House has made no effort to identify the Chinese military's front companies. But many of the PLA companies that Clinton refuses to identify are well known to the Commerce Department. And evidence shows that the Clinton administration actively courted business with the Chinese generals. In 1995, Gen. Ding Henggao sent then-commerce secretary Ron Brown a partial list of PLA-owned firms, including a local PLA contact, complete with phone and fax numbers, as well as an address. "The Clinton-Gore administration's failure to obey the law is knowing, willful and lo

For more information on Reason, visit our Web site at www.reason.com. Send your comments about Reason Express to Jeff A. Taylor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Virginia Postrel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). - - Rat Tart - - Monty Python taught us that there is only one thing worse than rat tart (preferably a piece with not so much rat in it) and that is spam. As a public service, Reason Express offers this quick guide to spam handling. The first and most important rule is never, ever respond to spam, even if it is to a "remove" address, or worse, a phone number. Best case, doing so identifies your email account as active and you as someone who reads through unsolicited dreck--just the sort of person spammers would want to spam again and again. Worst case, the "remove" link or phone number brings you to a serious scam site or telemarketer. So what to do? The most important part of the spam isn't in the body of the message, anyway. It is the "header" of the message. In that header reside clues to the spammer's true address. Most email readers automatically hide the alphabet soup of header info during day-to-day use. But a change in an email programs "view" or "preference" options will bring up header info for any email message. Search for "headers" in a program's help file for instructions on how to do this. For AOL users, try keyword "spam" as a starting place. That may sound like a pain, but without headers it is impossible for the Internet's various spam-busting forces to be used. Many service providers will cut off service to spammers once presented with evidence of spam in the form of a complete email message. One service that helps automate the process of complaining about spam is SpamCop. The site can be used in demo mode to identify the source of spam and also sells a spam-filtering service. Wiping out spam is, of course, impossible. But it is a worthy goal, and even a little bit of information can punch serious gaps in spam flow.

Farm Bureau vs. Nature
by Vicki Monks
Fall 1998
Part 2
Vicki Monks, a freelance writer in Santa Fe, New Mexico, reports
frequently on wildlife and environmental issues.
Ask any Farm Bureau official at the county, state or national level how
many actual farmers belong to the organization and it is likely you will not
get a straight answer. "We feel like we represent eight out of ten American
farmers," says Dick Newpher, executive director of AFBF's Washington, D.C.,
office. But in fact, Newpher says he has no idea whether that statement is true
because AFBF does not keep a central membership list that identifies who is a
farmer and who is not. AFBF bylaws clearly spell out two categories of
membership, however: voting members who are actively engaged in agriculture or
retired from farming and associate members who are not farmers. Newpher says
county and state farm bureaus keep separate records for the two member classes,
but queries to several state farm bureaus did not produce answers, either.
Texas Farm Bureau spokesman Gene Hall says TXFB membership records make no
distinction.
Because AFBF is a nonprofit organization (although some state affiliates
have set up for-profit companies) it pays no taxes on income from
membership dues. In 1993, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that dues
from nonfarming associate members - the customers of Farm Bureau insurance
companies and other businesses - should be taxed as business income. An
IRS survey of these associate members had found that only five percent
joined AFBF because of an interest in agriculture. The IRS ruling could
have cost AFBF an estimated $32 million in taxes each year. But a group of
members of Congress led by Representative David Camp (R-Michigan) came to
the rescue. Legislation reversing the IRS decision won approval in 1996 as
part of the tax-relief package under House Speaker Newt Gingrich's
"Contract With America." During 1995 and 1996, political action committees
affiliated with state farm bureaus contributed $109,824 to many of the 126
sponsors and cosponsors of the Tax Fairness for Agriculture Act -
including $16,480 to Camp. In recent years, AFBF and its state affiliates
have developed cozy alliances with other conservative political groups,
including many of the so-called wise- use organizations. AFBF works
closely with more than a dozen of these groups, including several
coalitions that are seeking to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act, roll
back wetlands protections, lower clean air and water standards and thwart
efforts to reduce global warming.
Although these issues may have some bearing on agriculture, AFBF also uses
its considerable clout to push policies that have no apparent connection
to farming. For example, the Montana Farm Bureau (MTFB) lobbied to require
that schools teach creationism on an equal basis with evolution. MTFB also
wanted the state to ship convicted criminals to Mexico and promoted a
resolution urging the United States to withdraw from the United Nations.
AFBF's 1998 policy book calls for repeal of the nation's basic civil
rights law, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and restoration of provisions
in the 1872 Mining Act "that guarantee the rights and freedom of
prospectors and miners." This law has allowed multinational corporations
to extract billions of dollars in precious metals from public lands
without paying royalties to the U.S. government. It contains no
requirements for land reclamation and elevates mining above all other
interests on public land, including wildlife habitat and clean water.
Newpher paints a far more benign picture of the Farm Bureau's agenda. "We
are probably the least selfish occupational group that there is in
America," he boasts. "I don't see us taking strong legislative positions
where we set out to be of harm to other parts of our society. I don't
think we take extreme positions that hurt other people. We try not to."
The Texas Farm Bureau apparently is not with the program. TXFB pushed for
repeal of the federal minimum wage and wanted the government to cut food
stamps for poor families whose children also got free lunches at school.
When the Texas Agriculture Department adopted regulations to prevent
growers from spraying pesticides while farm workers were in the fields,
TXFB nearly succeeded in getting the state legislature to revoke those
rules. "The new regs weren't anything major that would be a substantial
disruption or expense to employers, but you should have heard the
screaming and howling. You would have thought somebody had burned their
barns and run off their stock," says Texas Rural Legal Aid attorney David
Hall, who has represented farm workers injured by pesticides. Both TXFB
and AFBF advocate eliminating the Legal Services Corporation, a federally
funded organization that provides legal-aid attorneys like Hall for
low-income clients.
In North Carolina in 1983, the Farm Bureau opposed a pro

"The objective of the project is to support the [Chinese] Government's continuing reforms in technology policy and institutions so as to promote the development of clear, productivity-enhancing technologies in China's industries," states a 1995 report written by the Industry and Energy Operations Division of the World Bank. According to the World Bank report, "The [Chinese] Government will pass on US $194.3 million of the loan proceeds through SPC [State Planning Commission] to eligible sub-borrowers in the form of sub-loans, with the Golden China Corporation acting on its behalf as a financial agent." However, according to the Defense Department, "Golden China Corporation" and many of the so-called "engineering research centers" supported by the World Bank loans actually were owned and operated by the Chinese military's COSTIND, which stands for the Chinese Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. For example, the World Bank provided: - $5 million to the Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research for "rare earth materials" used in chemical, aviation and nuclear power stations. The Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research is part of the China National Nuclear Corp., or CNNC, producer of all nuclear weapons for the Chinese military. - More than $5 million to the Harbin Research Institute for "welded steel products" used in aviation and shipbuilding. Harbin was identified by the Department of Defense as a Chinese Army front used to purchase Allied Signal turbo-fan engines for the People's Liberation Army Air Force, or PLAAF, in 1996. - More than $4 million to the Marine Design and Research Institute of China for "ship-design software and services." The Marine Design and Research Institute is part of the China National Ship Building Corp. and the primary design facility for all Chinese warships, including nuclear-powered submarines. The loans to the Chinese military from the World Bank also financed several moneymaking ventures for the PLA. For example, the World Bank provided $5.5 million to the China Textile Academy for "productivity enhancement." According to a 1997 Rand Corp. report on the Chinese defense industry, the profits from People's Liberation Army business ventures such as textile exports are split between the PLA generals and the Chinese military. The Chinese army profits are used to purchase advanced weapons, build new barracks for troops and provide medical services for PLA officers. The Chinese generals use their slice of the profits for "lavish parties, foreign luxury automobiles and Swiss bank accounts," according to the Rand report. Thus, there is little money left to provide environmental protection or improve working conditions. Of course, the Clinton administration claims that it is impossible to identify PLA-owned companies. Despite the difficulty, President Clinton is required by law to perform this task. The Fowler amendment, signed into law by Clinton on Oct. 17, 1998, requires that a list of companies controlled by the PLA and operating in the United States be published in the Federal Register by Jan. 15, 1999. So far, Clinton has ignored the law and refused to expose these PLA operations. On Sept. 24 the 10 top leaders in the House of Representatives wrote a letter to Clinton, demanding immediate compliance with U.S. law requiring public disclosure of China's PLA-owned companies doing business in the United States. According to House members, the Clinton White House claimed in September 1999 to have assigned the task of identifying the PLA companies to the Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA. According to Al Santoli, an aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, the DIA quietly has informed congressional leaders that the White House did not ask them to prepare such a list. In short, the White House has made no effort to identify the Chinese military's front companies. But many of the PLA companies that Clinton refuses to identify are well known to the Commerce Department. And evidence shows that the Clinton administration actively courted business with the Chinese generals. In 1995, Gen. Ding Henggao sent then-commerce secretary Ron Brown a partial list of PLA-owned firms, including a local PLA contact, complete with phone and fax numbers, as well as an address. "The Clinton-Gore administration's failure to obey the law is knowing, willful and longstanding," said Ho

Senator Al "Whore" Sr. Crime/Corruption Opinion Keywords: GORE HAMMER Source: The Hoffmann Wire Published: ? Author: Michael A. Hoffman II Posted on 10/11/1999 19:12:09 PDT by archiopterix by--Michael A. Hoffman II [Hoffman is a former reporter for the American Contemporary Radio Division of ABC News and the New York bureau of the Associated Press] The eulogies, encomiums and laurel wreaths have all been bestowed upon the carcass of one of America's most despicable turncoats, the late Al Gore Sr, father of the Vice-President, R.I.H (Rot in Hell). The American media, true to form, suppressed the veritable Niagara of documentation on former Sen. Gore Sr.'s Communist service, corruption and the fact that since the 1950s he had been bought and paid for by the son of the founder of the Communist Party USA, []financier Armand Hammer. All of that was air-brushed out of the insipid greeting card obituaries for Gore which were issued by our "tough, investigative" and may I add, pro-Communist news media. Here are additional facts: Hammer owned Al Gore Senior lock, stock and whiskey barrel. Hammer kept Senator Gore Sr., as he liked to say, "in my back-pocket." When he said this, Hammer would touch his wallet and chuckle. Throughout virtually the whole of his political career , until 1990 when Hammer died at age 92, Al Gore Senior and the Gore family depended on bribes, kick-backs and "salaries" from Hammer. Hammer exploited his outright ownership of Gore Senior's political career as Congressman and later Senator and even became part of the Gores' intimate family life. Gore Sr.'s Sugar-Daddy Hammer was an agent and accomplice of every Soviet leader from 1917 onward, from Lenin to Gorbachev. Hammer made his first millions in the 1920s, initially through the operation --with slave labor --of a Soviet asbestos mine, in the shafts of which the bodies of the murdered Imperial family of the Czar had been dumped. In the early 1920s Hammer laundered money for Lenin and sold looted Russian art treasures in partnership with Mikoyan, to enrich himself and the Bolshevik regime. In 1931 Hammer established a banking operation in Paris specifically to provide foreign exchange funds for Stalin. Meanwhile, Hammer bribed and suborned elected officials at all levels of American life, from mayors to presidents. Hammer first took control of Gore Sr. in the early 1950s when he was a struggling hick Congressman, putting him on the payroll of a cattle-breeding business which Hammer owned, thereby funneling Gore Sr. large sums. In return for the cattle money, Gore and other powerful legislators also feeding at the Hammer trough, suppressed an FBI investigation into Hammer's Communist espionage. Later Gore Sr. defended Hammer on the floor of the Senate against allegations of bribery in obtaining government contracts (the allegations were true). Vice-President Al Gore Junior's political career was launched and sponsored as a wholly owned subsidiary of Armand Hammer, from Gore's initial success as a politician until just two years before he assumed the vice-presidency in 1992. In the 1960s, as chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Gore Sr. helped broker Hammer's lucrative oil deal with Libya, upon which Hammer's Occidental Petroleum Corporation would fatten handsomely. After he was defeated in his last senate election contest, Gore Sr. was made a director of Hammer's Island Creek Coal corp. at an annual "salary" of one-half million dollars. In the 1980s Gore's "salary" rose to $750,000. Most of the Left in America is convinced that a mighty McCarthyite anti-Communist apparatus was deeply entrenched in the U.S. government, only releasing its grip during the administration of Jimmy Carter. Nothing could be further from the truth. Almost all of the redoubtable "Commie fighters" from J. Edgar Hoover to Richard M. Nixon were engaged in an elaborate charade of anti-Communism, when in actuality they represented the government which had financed, nurtured and strengthened Communism and, with the defeat of Germany, then declared the Communists "The Enemy." By this ruse, the military-industrial complex in the U.S., led by such huge multi-national corporations as General Electric, was able to reap profits beyond the dreams of avarice, from this staged enmity. A case in point is Nixon. The "Commie-fighter" needed deep pockets to wage his Watergate wars. Arma

[CTRL] The Stargate Conspiracy
-Caveat Lector- http://www.templarlodge.com/stargate.html The Stargate Conspiracy - Introduction by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince Revealing the truth behind extraterrestrial contact, military intelligence and the mysteries of Ancient Egypt The Stargate Conspiracy exposes the most insidious, disturbing - and successful - mass manipulation of our times. Designed to bring us, hearts, minds and souls under the total control of the conspirators, this sinister programme has ruthlessly exploited our Millennial craving for signs and wonders - even hijacking the predicted return of the ancient gods. The Conspiracy... Its central focus is the belief that the gods of the ancient world were extraterrestrials who created and civilised the human race, that they're back - and that, communicating through special chosen ones, they are actively directing the way we think. However, The Stargate Conspiracy reveals that this romantic and exciting scenario was in fact the brainchild of the West's most powerful intellectual agencies. Designed to become a new religion for the 21st century, its real purpose is political - to make us easier to control. Centred on the search for lost secrets of the pyramid builders, this extraordinary true story reveals the links between US scientific intelligence agencies, Mars and ancient Egypt. For almost 50 years, like Frankenstein's monster, this conspiracy has been put together from cultish - but astonishingly powerful - belief systems, culminating in the emergence of a new fundamentalism that is gathering strength by feeding on Millennium fever. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince reveal the secret agenda that unites apparently independent authors and researchers - including top names with millions of readers worldwide - and which is targeted to all of us. The Stargate Conspiracy reveals that even the genuine mysteries of the gods themselves have been hijacked by powerful cabals - which include top industrialists, politicians, scientists and intelligence agencies such as MI5 and the CIA - in order to fulfill their secret agenda. At the heart of this conspiracy is the belief that the ancient Egyptian gods were - and are - extra terrestrial beings, that certain key people are in contact with them, and that they are about to return through the 'stargate' between our world and theirs. Are we prepared for the imminent return of the gods? And will we be expected unquestioningly to accept the conspirators as our spokesmen? Or is this an exercise in mass manipulation designed to make us support the conspirators? As they calculatedly whip up Millennium fever, triumphantly persuading us that they alone know how to talk to the gods, this book serves as a serious warning to mankind. The Main Points: Over the last few years, the public has come to accept specific ideas about the 'message' of ancient Egypt, largely due to the works of certain high-profile authors. But we demonstrate that many of the principles of this 'New Egyptology' are not only based on false-premises, but have also been used by others as part of a secret long-term agenda. We reveal the shadowy presence of US government agencies behind the current interest in the Giza plateau. An essential part of this plot is the alleged link between ancient Egypt and a lost civilisation on Mars, based on the discovery of supposedly artificial features on that planet. We show that this view is seriously flawed, and that the intelligence agencies are actively encouraging the promotion of a meaningful Egypt-Mars connection. We show that key people in the promotion of the 'message' of Egypt and Mars are involved in a cultish cabal who believes they are in direct contact with extraterrestrial intelligences from Sirius who claim to be the gods of ancient Egypt. This group, which has existed for almost fifty years, has included many famous names, multimillionaires and cutting-edge scientists. It has also, disturbingly, had a profound influence on the decision-making of certain world leaders... The Stargate Conspiracy reveals that this group was in fact cynically and deliberately manipulated from the first by the CIA - and that this programme is ongoing. We trace the inspiration for the conspiracy back to the ideology of certain extreme right-wing occult movements of the 19th and 20th centuries. We conclude that the conspirators are deliberately harnessing the most profound and cherished beliefs of today's society - from fundamentalist Christianity and the 'message' of ancient civilisations to the alien abduction scenario - to create a new, more widely acceptable religion for the post-Millennial West. We reveal that, underlying the apparently acceptable tenets of this religion is an insidious right-wing ideology., the true danger lurking inside the Trojan Horse of its New Age image. However, even though the manipulators have abused and hijacked the ancient Egyptian mysteries for their own ends, that does not mean that there are no suc
