[CTRL] Listeria Kills 7 In France
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Saturday February 19 6:51 AM ET Seven Die in French Mystery Listeria Outbreak PARIS (Reuters) - A mysterious outbreak of listeria has killed seven people in France over the past few weeks, Health Minister Jean Glavany said Saturday. Glavany told reporters the dead were among 23 people affected by the disease, which is caused by eating food tainted by the bacterium Listeria Monocytogenes. Listeria is uncommon but can be fatal for pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. A health ministry statement said widespread checks were carried out in areas where those affected lived and shopped but the cause of the illness in their cases was not ascertained. Pregnant woman and other people likely to be affected were advised to avoid eating certain cheeses, smoked fish and certain pork-based products. France was shaken by a listeria scare in November when thousands of products, including pork pate and jellied pigs' tongues, were stripped from shelves after investigators linked the deaths of a pensioner and three-week-old baby to them. Listeria was blamed for 20 deaths in a 1992 epidemic in France. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Dear Brigade, What is not mentioned below is that on the majority of these issues Bush and McCain are in total agreement [see Human Events chart: Why Liberals Love McCain]. The "big battle" for the Republican primary is a farce! It does not matter whether Bush or McCain "wins" -- either way, we lose. That is, unless Pat Buchanan WINS the Reform Party nomination -- then we will truely have a choice on Election Day 2000. GO PAT GO!! Linda -- From: "Ron Shank" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Linda Muller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:FW: SPECIAL EDITION Date sent: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 21:15:59 -0600 -Original Message- From: On Behalf Of The Liberty Alliance To: Falwell Confidential Subject: SPECIAL EDITION DATE: February 18, 2000 FROM: Jerry Falwell MORE ON THE BAUER-McCAIN FIASCO: Yesterday, in my regularly- scheduled Falwell Confidential, I presented my reasons for differing with Gary Bauer, who has now backed the presidential candidacy of Arizona Sen. John McCain. While I cannot legally endorse a candidate on behalf of my ministries, I personally endorsed George W. Bush months ago. I truly believe he is a man of honor, integrity and leadership skills. He knows Christ and he lives his faith every day. I admire him and believe he will be a great president, if God allows him to be elected. With that said, I was terribly disappointed that Gary Bauer chose to support John McCain, whose policies dramatically counter those that Bauer espoused during his own presidential campaign. Bauer's endorsement of McCain is terribly alarming. In addition, Dr. James Dobson, president of Focus on the Family - and Bauer's former boss - has now publicly stated his misgivings regarding Bauer's startling backing of John McCain. Following is Focus on the Family's entire press release regarding the Bauer announcement: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 17, 2000 Colorado Springs - Speaking as a private individual and not as the president of Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson expressed disagreement yesterday with former presidential candidate Gary Bauer's endorsement of Senator John McCain as Republican nominee for U.S. President. The Senator has offered no assurances that he intends to appoint a pro-life running mate or pro-life justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, he voted for pro-abortion Stephen Breyer and pro-abortion ACLU activist Ruth Bader Ginsburg for that Court and for David Satcher for Surgeon General, who supports partial-birth-abortion. McCain also voted in support of President Clinton to expand fetal-tissue research. Furthermore, McCain has accepted huge contributions from the gambling industry and apparently is comfortable with the proliferation of gambling in American society. He has also accepted large contributions from producers of alcohol. McCain is in favor of combat assignments for women in the military, and has sought and received enormous financial and political support from the Log Cabin Republicans and other homosexual activists. McCain also supports Most Favored Nation status for the brutal regime in China, and voted against our nation's monitoring of Communist Chinese commercial fronts operating the United States. He seeks to appease the bloated Federal public-school bureaucracy and has refused to support vouchers. "The Senator," Dobson said, "is being touted by the media as a man of principle, yet he was involved with other women while married to his first wife, and was implicated in the so-called Keating scandal with four other senators. He was eventually reprimanded by the Congress for the 'appearance of impropriety.' The Senator reportedly has a violent temper, and can be extremely confrontational and profane when angry. These red flags about Senator McCain's character are reminiscent of the man who now occupies the White House. j Gary Bauer's endorsement of the Senator is troubling for another reason. When Clarence Thomas was being considered for Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Mr. Bauer actively championed his candidacy. However, Warren Rudman, who is John McCain's National Campaign Chairman and his most likely choice for U.S. Attorney General, was a pro- abortion Senator who opposed confirmation of Clarence Thomas, despite the fact that he voted for him in order to get three federal judgeships approved. He said about the Thomas decision, "It's a vote I'm not proud of'." Given these concerns about McCain, it is difficult to understand how Gary Bauer can support him "with great pride and with absolutely no reservation." This statement is not intended to imply Dr. Dobson's endorsement of anyone else's candidacy for the presidency - simply to clarify his lack of support for Senator McCain. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I am also reprinting a

Case in point. Immediately after the Iowa caucuses, Donald Lambro of the Washington Times wrote the following: âGeorge W. Bushâs win in Iowa will give him the momentum he needs to quickly finish off John McCain - if not in New Hampshire, then in the Feb. 19 primary in South Carolina, Bush strategists said last night. âAfter New Hampshire, it looks pretty clear for us. Itâs hard to find a state where McCain is ahead of us in any of the exit polls except for his home state of Arizona, and weâre close even there,â said a top Bush adviser. Mr. Bush holds a 51-29 percent lead in South Carolina polls over the Arizona senator.â Oops.

Bush's presidential campaign have been unable to beat rival John McCain and his candor, so they have opted for a new tactic: Try silencing him. At the urging of Gov. Bob Taft's office, the Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Republican Party decided to âuninviteâ McCain as the Lincoln Day dinner speaker this year, county officials said. ... âIt kills me to quite possibly not be able to feature him [McCain],â said Kathi Paroska, finance director of the Cuyahoga County Republican Party and a McCain supporter. âHe's a hero, and we have not had a hero in many, many years.â âYesterday morning, Paroska said she expected the fund-raising dinner to go on as planned Feb. 26, with McCain as the keynote speaker, 10 days before the Ohio primary. By afternoon, Matt Cox, executive director of the county GOP, said the dinner was being moved to mid-March - after the primary - with Taft as the speaker. Taft chairs Bush's Ohio campaign. ... McCain spokesman Todd Harris said the Arizona senator planned to campaign often, and hard, in Ohio, despite the rebuff from Cleveland. âWe're not going to be deterred by the governor's bullying tactics,â Harris said. âThe fact that he's not willing to let Republicans in his own state even see John McCain is ample testimony to his lack of confidence in his own candidate.â" - The Plain Dealer, 2/18/00 ** Bush Resorting to Threats to Thwart Mass Defections âWith the GOP presidential candidates facing a showdown vote in South Carolina this weekend, a senior House Republican lawmaker is trying to whip up support for Texas Gov.

[CTRL] Gore sensitive about Hammer connection
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! A HREF="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_btl/2218_xcbtl_gore_sensi.shtml "Gore sensitive about Hammer connection/A http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_btl/2218_xcbtl_gore_sensi.shtml Gore sensitive about Hammer connection --- A gossip columnist for MSNBC suggests Al Gore is being cagey about his middle name because of his family's long-time association with a billionaire Soviet apparatchik. In her Feb. 15 column, Jeanette Walls reveals the vice president usually gives only his middle initial -- A -- when asked about his middle name. When pressed upon by a fifth grader recently, Gore asked the kid to give his full name. In other words, the vice president won't even give a straight, direct answer to the question: "What's your name?" Does this remind you of any recent presidents? On his tax return, Gore lists his middle name as Albert. I always thought that was his first name. According to the Wall Street Journal, his birth certificate lists the middle name as simply the initial "A." Very strange. Why the hypersensitivity? A source told Walls that his parents gave him the initial as a middle name because they wanted their friend and benefactor, Armand Hammer, to believe their child was named for him. An official spokesman for the vice president questioned the veracity of the report. With good reason the campaign wants to divert attention from the Hammer-Gore connection. Hammer used to boast that he had Sen. Al Gore Sr. "in his back pocket." As I have reported here before, Hammer set up Gore Sr. in business before he ventured into politics, stayed close to him throughout his political career and hired him after he left office. "Throughout the whole of his life, Al Gore Sr. and his family depended on pay-outs, kickbacks and subventions from Hammer," wrote Neil Lyndon, who worked for Hammer. "Like his father before him, Al Gore Jr.'s political career was lavishly sponsored by Hammer from the moment it began until Hammer died, only two years before Gore Clinton in the 1992 race for the White House." Who was Hammer? He was a personal friend of V.I. Lenin. He was known as Lenin's "path" to America's financial resources. He was the first of a long line of Western businessmen to participate in KGB-controlled joint ventures in the Soviet Union. He was the son of Julius Hammer, a founder of the Socialist Labor Party and later the Communist party USA and who served time in Sing Sing for performing illegal abortions. Armand Hammer was called the "Capitalist Prince" by the KGB. He dutifully served the Soviets for seven decades and became the first -- and only -- "American capitalist" to be awarded the Order of Lenin. According to Edward J. Epstein's "Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer," Lenin told Stalin about this so-called "industrialist": "This is a small path leading to the American 'business' world, and this path should be made use of in every way." In other words, Hammer was a part-time spy, part-time money-launderer, part-time "industrialist" -- but a full-time traitor to the United States of America. To the Soviet Union in his day, Hammer was a figure with much in common with the contemporary spy-cum-billionaire Mochtar Riady -- doing the bidding of socialist tyrants and making a bundle in the process. It was Al Gore Sr. who stopped the FBI from pursuing an investigation of Hammer as a Soviet agent of influence. And the cozy relationship with the family continued when Al Gore Jr. -- whatever his real name is -- was elected to the Senate in 1980. Hammer was the guest of honor in the "senators only" section during President Reagan's inauguration. The Hammer connection continued to define Al Gore's political career. He serves as co-chairman of a Russian-U.S. commission intended to help the next generation of Armand Hammer-style "Capitalist Princes" develop contacts with businesses that are little more than foreign intelligence fronts. In 1994, the vice president established U.S.-Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technical Cooperation, better known as the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission. The purpose of the commission is to help establish join ventures in space exploration, science and technology, defense conversion, environmental initiatives, public health issues, agribusiness and economic development. The Russian side of this equation is littered with shadowy figures with one foot in the intelligence community and the other in mob-related activities. Now you see why Al Gore Jr. is the perfect candidate to continue the Bill Clinton tradition. He's been groomed for it his whole life -- from the very day he was born. So, at the next Democratic party town hall meeting, some one should ask the simple, straightforward question -- once again -- of candidate Al Gore:

DOD officials disagree with House report on anthrax by Army Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. Rhem American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- DOD officials said they have no intention of ending their program of mandatory anthrax vaccinations for service members, despite a House of Representatives panel's recommendation that the program should be suspended. "The Department of Defense is very confident in the anthrax program that we have undertaken," said Dr. Sue Bailey, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, at a Pentagon briefing Feb. 17. "We have a very safe and effective vaccine against a very deadly biologic agent that we know to be in the hands of many of our adversaries. "Were (service members) not vaccinated and exposed to this agent, they would die a horrible death. It is our mission to protect those forces," Bailey said. A critical report released Feb. 17 by the Government Reform Committee's National Security subcommittee stated the military's program to inoculate all 2.4 million troops against anthrax was based on "dangerously narrow scientific" evidence. The panel recommended the vaccination program be suspended and the vaccine be considered experimental. The Pentagon's top bio-defense official, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Randy L. West, said he was disappointed by much of what was in that report. West is the special advisor to the secretary of defense for anthrax and bio-defense affairs. "There are a lot of allegations in there that I believe were appropriately answered during the seven hearings that we had on this issue last year," West said, referring to congressional hearings on the anthrax vaccination program held in September and October. "I believe if you take many of the negative comments that are made in the report and go back and bounce them against the testimony that was given, you'll find many of those concerns were adequately addressed." However, West said, he's glad that the committee called DOD's program a well-intended effort and that the members recognized there is a legitimate threat. "I would champion their proposal that we aggressively seek a better vaccine," he said. In fact, the general said, there's currently a funded, aggressive program under the supervision of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to do just that. "We also believe anything that we can do to improve the shot protocol would be a good thing," West said. "If you can give this vaccination in less than six shots, you're probably going to have fewer reactions, and the fewer reactions we have the better it is." West said DOD budgeted $20 million in 1999 to work with the CDC and determine ways to improve the program. He said those efforts are in four areas: shot regimen, gender differences, method of delivering the vaccine, and determining the amount of immunity gained from the regimen. But, he said, pending improvements shouldn't prevent DOD from using the best measures currently available. "We should always want better medicine. We should always want to find a better vaccine. We should always want to find ways to administer it that are less invasive," West said. "But those things take time. Those are months or years away, and we've got troops that are in danger of aerosolized, weaponized anthrax today. We can't wait until we've got a new-and-improved vaccine to give them the protection they need." Bailey agreed. "(Anthrax) is as deadly as ebola," she said, explaining that anthrax is almost 100 percent deadly if not treated before symptoms develop. She explained DOD requires service members to receive many vaccines that aren't voluntary. "It is not only to protect the troops but to protect the effectiveness of the mission," Bailey said. She used the example of tetanus vaccine being required during World War II. "Although there were millions of wounds and casualties, we only had 12 cases of tetanus," she said. "It's that kind of protection that medicine can afford to our troops, and we are intent upon providing that to them." 000251. Crew gathers critical data for airborne laser program by Staff Sgt.

If the fact that both the Bush-McCain2000 and McCain-Bush2000 Internet domain names have already been locked up is any indication, this promises to be a close race! Mr. Bush did pick up an important endorsement from American Conservative Union leader David Keene. "Our message is clear. There is only one viable choice left for conservatives in this election, one man who we believe will fight for the key aspects of our agenda, such as smaller government, tax relief, a strong national defense and the sanctity of human life. That man is George Bush. Many of the positions [McCain] has staked out in recent years and on the campaign trail should be considered for what they are -- outright assaults on the conservative Reagan agenda." The endorsement from Mr. Keene -- a true Reagan conservative -- should not be confused with that collection of crowning endorsements Mr. Bush hailed from establishment Republicans in Congress. The latter has boomeranged, as voters consistently say Congress is one of the least trusted American institutions -- just behind government in general. Many of Mr. Bush's themes, which he has spent about $50 million delivering, echo those that Congress has repeatedly failed to deliver -- especially that "fairer flatter tax." Memo to Mr. Bush: Kill the "compassion" thing. It is analogous to the " kinder, gentler wimp" thing. Bury it quietly. If you possess leadership qualities like courage and strength -- and we have it on good authority you do -- show it! And as for your political tactics thus far, this is not your father's campaign ground. Mr. John McCain picked up the endorsement of Gary Bauer, who like McCain, calls himself a "conservative" but promotes government policies and programs rather than free enterprise and liberty as solutions to the day's ills. "Right now, Bauer would be more at home in the Democratic primary than the Republican," notes Cato Institute's Mike Tanner. Mr. Bauer quoted Ronald Reagan at length in his endorsement of McCain but should know that McCain's momentum is totally rooted in his "anti-Clinton/anti-establishment" persona. He is not a member of President Reagan's legacy team. The Family Research Council, an excellent advocate of many conservative issues upon which Mr. McCain has equivocated, issued this bulletin following Bauer's endorsement: "Gary Bauer resigned as President and Chairman of the Board of Family Research Council in January 1999, and he is not an employee of Family Research Council." Firewall! On Mr. McCain -- whom we dubbed McCain-Feingold in honor of his obsession with campaign finance "reform" (cosponsored by another one of those infamous Demo Rhodes Scholars, Russ Feingold) -- let's set the record straight. First, Bush or McCain will defeat Al "Yes-I-Believe-Bill-Clinton" Gore. As we noted in January, "Put straight-talkin' McCain mano a mano with Clinton's enabler, and Gore will look like a convict at a parole board hearing." Both candidates shine next to Gore. Though McCain is an attractive candidate, "charming," in fact, he is bent on using government as an instrument of reform, rather than reforming government. In other words, Mr. McCain, like many of his Potomac brethren, subscribe to the Reagan antithesis: Government is the solution, not the problem. His legislative agenda has been all over the board, for reasons known only to John McCain. He does not offer a clear perspective on the role of government. Despite his charm, McCain should drop the "war hero" thing. This is, after all, the man who had the audacity to produce a campaign ad at National Cemetery, using this hallowed ground dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, as a backdrop for political fodder. Rather than acknowledge his arrogance, McCain said, lamely, that he just didn't know it was against National Park Service regulations -- then blamed the whole affair on his handlers.

[CTRL] Christian Leaders Arent
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Christian Leaders Arenât By Chuck Baldwin February 18, 2000 The "Washington Post" ran an interesting story earlier this week. In a nutshell, the article reported that conservative Christian activism has "gone cold." Where thousands of evangelicals and conservative Catholics had before rallied to the cause of the Republican Party, today they sit dormant and uninvolved. There is a very simple reason for this: Many Christian leaders have failed to provide the kind of principled leadership necessary for such activism to continue. Perhaps we were spoiled with the success of Ronald Reagan. Todayâs Christian activists cut their teeth on the Reagan campaigns. The Carter years had left America weak and vulnerable. Thousands of clergymen and millions of Christians stood in the gap for principle and truth. Throwing aside a Republican Party full of stale and lifeless country club fat cats, millions of conservatives and hundreds of Christian leaders took a principled stand for faith, family and freedom. The result: two landslide presidential victories. Suddenly, Christian leaders were politically powerful. They were sought out by the media and by the political elite. Their names became household words. They brought Christian influence from the back street to Main Street. Cameras and microphones followed us wherever we went. We were somebody. Why? Because we won! Since we were now on the inside, we had the advantage of listening to well educated and intelligent experts tell us how to keep winning. We attended and conducted seminars and conferences on how to win. We learned how to organize. We learned how to take opinion polls. The first thing we learned was that winning is the most important thing. From that moment on, winning was all that mattered. Winning was fun. Winning was exciting. Winning took us places. At all costs, therefore, we must win! The second thing we learned was that in order to win we must compromise. Compromise, we were told, was the only way to keep our influence and power. Besides, it was the smart thing to do. Imperceptibly, pragmatism replaced principle. The Waterloo for Christian leadership came in 1996 when it openly rejected the burgeoning candidacy of the principled conservative candidate, Pat Buchanan, for the known compromising candidate, Bob Dole. Voting for Dole was considered the smart thing to do, however. It was the pragmatic thing to do. Only Bob Dole could win, we were told. So, we threw Buchanan to the Dumpster. Something went wrong, though. Dole lost! More than Bob Dole lost, however. Christian leaders lost their principles and their courage. They had been effectively neutered. We were now part of the establishment. We acted like the establishment. We thought like the establishment. We compromised like the establishment. The things that caused us to win before had been totally forgotten. I say they have been forgotten because we are still making the same fatal mistake. We continue to reject principled candidates like Alan Keyes who, we are told, cannot win, in favor of compromising candidates who, we are assured, can. The result is millions of frustrated, uninspired, turned-off conservatives who feel betrayed. And they have been! There is one more result: another GOP defeat at the polls in November! Maybe sooner or later, Christian leaders will again awaken to the fundamental principles that first gave them victory. Maybe they will eventually get over the perfidious puffery heaped on them by disingenuous politicos and once again stand courageously for truth and righteousness, win or lose! Absent such courage, a Republican victory means not a victory for the country. **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Digital Society Ecash 2.0 Let's see. The usual undefined, misunderstood terms: "real thing", "money", "ecash", etc. Digital currencies are sprouting all over the Internet. But virtual money does not yet pose a serious threat to the real thing. MONEY has always been a sexy topic. As has technology. So the hype that greeted the arrival in the mid-1990s of several digital kinds of cash should not have been surprising. Some predicted that private electronic currencies would swiftly compete with dollars or D-marks. Central bankers began to worry thatperish the thought!they might become obsolete. The reality has proved much less exciting: for electronic cash has flopped badly. Its issuers either went bankrupt (DigiCash), dropped the product (Cyber Cash) or moved into another business (First Virtual Holdings, now MessageMedia ). On the Internet, almost all payments are still made by unsexy credit cards. In fact, digital cash was always a long shot. Around the world, money brings out a conservative streak. Even in America, it took decades to establish the credit card. And the first generation of e-cash was hardly an attractive proposition. Consumers had to install special software. Worse, they could spend their e-cash in only a very few places. Despite that sobering experience, a second generation of financial firms is now giving e-cash another go, online. Hardly a week passes without a start-up ventureusually Americanannouncing a new form of electronic money. And this time, the prospects look rather better. There appears now to be genuine demand for an online alternative to credit cards, which the rapid growth of e-commerce is bound to fuel. Sometimes, consumers will wish to remain anonymous. Many, particularly outside America, have no access to plastic money. Some are too young. And auctions and other sorts of consumer-to-consumer e-commerce have created a need for online payment between individuals. A survey carried out by Jupiter Communications last year found that consumers are dissatisfied with the way they spend their money online (see chart). Jupiter predicts that the hegemony of credit cards online will wanebut not much. It forecasts a drop from 95% to 81% of the value of such transactions by 2003. Merchants, for their part, might welcome digital cashafter all, credit-card costs take a hefty bite out of their revenue. That is a particular problem for the growing number of websites that sell cheap itemssingle songs, say. Most of the new financial firms working on e-cash are looking at micropaymentsmeaning purchases costing from a tenth of a cent to $10. One way to make such tiny sales worth a merchants while is to store value in an online account and deduct small purchases. 1ClickCharge pioneered this approach. Two big computer firms, Compaq and IBM, have developed similar technology. Other firms, such as Qpass, make no initial charge, but accumulate payments and deduct the balance from a credit card. Useful as these services may be, they are little more than an extension of existing payment systems. Another group of firms is trying to go further. Robert Levitan, chief executive and founder of a company called flooz.com, blames the failure of the first generation of e-cash on its lack of a compelling application. Floozs answer is gift certificates. Consumers need them, says Mr Levitan, because they often lack time and gift ideas. And merchants like them, because consumers tend to spend them more readily than cash. In this system, present-givers, using a credit card, pay money into an account. They then e-mail it to the recipient, who can spend it at any of 68 merchant partners. $5m-worth of flooz certificates are in circulation. Another company, Beenz.com, is taking a different approach. What Philip Letts, its chief executive, calls its big gotcha is that consumers can earn beenz simply by being online. About 50 websites use them to pay people for visiting, filling in online surveys or shopping. Beenz can be spent at other websites. The firm sells its currency to partner merchants at a rate of 100 to the dollar, of which half is its commission; so one beenz is worth half a cent. A similar scheme, run by Cybergold, even allows cyberdollars to be converted into real bucks. A more significant source of competition may come from the offline world. Starting in May, the 38m members of American Airlines frequent-flyer programme will be able not only to earn mileage points by purchasing goods and services on AOL, the worlds largest online service. They will also be able to spend them there. To keep their mileage programs attractive, other airlines may have to follow suit. This could unlock considerable buying power.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Burien's blueprint for Mr. Putin
From: "Linda Minor" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't pretend to know how to figure out this mess. But I do have a small idea about how the political system works. It is operated by networks under a masonic structure--all the way from the brain trust down to the lowly ditch digger. The name of the game is jobs. That's why people don't speak out against the little things they see in their work that they feel instinctively are wrong; they have a family to support. Because the system is entrenched in this way, it is thoroughly pervasive within the government. The men who did understand how the system got started tried to put a structure of protection into the legal framework to prevent this type of looting to take place. But the brain trust is always there devising ways around it. In order to fight the end result, we have to understand how laws are written and interpreted--on a piecemeal basis. Courts do not look at an overview or a theory. They must isolate the facts to one situation and determine whether that scenario conforms to the statute creating it. They analyze the enabling legislation for the governmental entity--such as the Port Authority--and all court cases interpreting that or similar statutes. In my opinion, all legislation involving port authorities--whether in New York, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, Houston, etc.--is very political. Historically, that was the first bastion of the drug cartels--before railroads, airplanes, and any other form of transportation. The international trade in commodities, slaves and drugs knew they had to control the ports. They used profits to bribe officials to appoint their people to the boards of the authorities that controlled them. They then were able to control the bond issues and the revenue stream. The only way to defeat this system is for more people to learn how these financing schemes work. The politicians want money to finance campaigns. The people with the money are there to create money for the politician as long as they are given the control over these types of governmental authorities. If you read Pete Brewton's book, you can see how he connected Ned Holmes, chairman of the Houston Port Authority, to the county judge, Jon Lindsay, who made sure Holmes got the appointment. Then Holmes chaired Lindsay's reelection committee every year. Brewton also tied Holmes into a secret investment group, that I have attempted to follow up on. It leads to the PO shipping company. If you look at Dope, Inc., you can follow PO back to Jardine, Matheson, the original bond company for opium. Linda Minor However, any governmental agency that was a profit center (the Port Authority for New Jersey, the New Jersey Turnpike, and investment accounts, etc.) that generated no-tax revenue was "restricted by statute from being reported in the Annual Budget. Why? Because the state legislature passed laws to prevent reporting the income from profit center on the Budget. Instead, income from these profit centers was disclosed only on the CAFR. But that disclosure was not immediately apparent. For example, when Mr. Burien looked for New Jerseys 1989 "gross cash receipts" in the CAFR, he found the figure buried on page 174, under the "Waste Water Treatment Trust Fund." It showed the amount of the total cash receipts for 1989 from all 69 autonomous state agencies and departments was almost $87 billion. In other words, New Jersey was charging $87 billion to provide $17 billion in public services. New Jersey citizens were paying $5 for every $1 in services they received, and the state was pocketing the other $4 as "profit." The CAFR also reported the state owned $32 billion in common stocks - but this figure was footnoted. The footnote revealed that the stocks were valued according to their original purchase price, not the current market value. In other words, if the state bought a stock in 1968 at $1.25 a share and its worth $3,000 a share now, they still report it on the CAFR as worth $1.25 a share. Burien determined that the true market value for the "$32 billion" in stocks reported on the New Jersey CAFR was actually about $70 billion. -Original Message- From: Brian Downing Quig [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, February 19, 2000 8:42 AM Subject: [CIA-DRUGS] Burien's blueprint for Mr. Putin From: Brian Downing Quig [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are watching in real time the destruction of a system that was foundationed on the assumption that common people would never be able to communicate well enough to figure this out.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] BUSH FAMILY TIES TO JFK ASSASSINATION
From: "Linda Minor" [EMAIL PROTECTED] The law firm of Hawkins, Delafield Wood, founded in 1892, specialist in municipal-bond certification, had a trust and estate division headed by Louis Auchincloss, cousin of Gordon Auchincloss, who was the secretary and son-in-law of Col. E.M. House. See. Paul Hoffman, Lions in the Street, p. 24, and New York Times obituaries, January 17, 1977. Another cousin was Hugh D. Auchincloss, Washington, D.C. stockbroker and stepfather of Jacqueline Kennedy. Jackie's father, Jack Bouvier, had inherited his uncle's Wall Street brokerage firm. Billy Mellon Hitchcock had first worked for Bobby Lehman at Lehman Brothers, but quit in 1967 to become a partner in Delafield and Delafield, based on the institutional account he brought in from IOS. It was the Delafield bank which handled the stock for the conversion of Mary Carter Paint to Resorts International. In 1969 Hitchcock left Delafield. By then he was living in Sausalito, California and already enmeshed in operations to spread the use of LSD among the youth of California. One year after returning from his "training" at Lazard Brothers in England, he met Timothy Leary and leased him the Mellons 2,600-acre estate in Upstate New York which had once belonged to Walter Teagle, W.S. Farishs predecessor as chairman of Standard Oil of New Jersey. W.S. Farish III was George Bush's trustee on his blind trust; his grandfather had been chairman of Jersey Standard when Prescott Bush at Brown Brothers Harriman had helped to merge it with I.G. Farben. I have believed instinctively for quite some time that the marriage between JFK and Jackie was a merger of two drug families. After Jack was killed for refusing to go along with the agenda, she married another drug mogul. The Auchincloss group was in league with Col. House (whose railroads were financed by bonds issued by Kuhn, Loeb). House also was the administrator, along with his protege Felix Frankfurther, behind FDR--who was a Delano through and through. That is the essence of the Democratic Party, which as you may recall, was founded by August Belmont and his crowd. Billy Mellon Hitchcock was, on the other hand, working for Republicans, along with George Bush. Whether they are all part of the same Hegelian construct or actually competing, who can say?

Bush has moved further ahead of Arizona Senator John McCain (51%-42%), a new Reuters/Zogby tracking poll of the South Carolina Republican primary showed. Former Ambassador Alan Keyes polled 7.0% in the final poll of 605 likely Republican primary voters polled Thursday and Friday. Pollster John Zogby: "Bush pulls ahead by virtue of strong support among Conservative voters, Very Conservative voters, Born-Again Christians and Republicans. "McCain is doing well among Moderates and first-time Republican Primary voters, Independents and Democrats. But it is Bush's overwhelming support among Republicans that has allowed him to open up a wider lead. Turnout again is the key. If there is heavy turnout in the Coastal area and the Columbia suburban area, McCain can tighten the race or even win. But if vote is heaviest in the Western part of the state, Bush should hold on to victory." The tracking survey had a margin of error of +/- 4%.

[CTRL] It's not votes which count, it's investors.
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Thomas Ferguson's Golden Rule. That is, it is not "votes" which matter. It is investors. Investors have shifted both parties to the right (see, for supporting evidence, Ferguson and Rogers *Right Turn* or Ferguson's *Golden Rule*). *Golden Rule: The Investment Theory of Party Competition and the Logic of Money-Driven Political Systems* (University of Chicago Press, 1995), pp. 381-3: The Myth of the Median Voter Let us begin, however, with the investment theory's bedrock claim: what might be termed the general failure of control by the so-called median voter (the voter whose strategic position exactly in the middle of a distribution of voters guarantees a candidate one more vote than he or she needs to defeat all comers). The argument can be developed with any degree of detail and formal vigor. But it is perhaps most easily and convincingly outlined in terms of a single concrete example designed to demonstrate with the clarity of a laboratory experiment just how money-driven political systems can thwart the will of even overwhelming majorities of voters. Imagine a world in which labor-intensive textile producers command virtually all pecuniary resources beyond those necessary for ordinary wage earners to live (a world, that is, in which the so-called "classical savings function" popularized by Kalecki, Kaldor, and Robinson applies). Such a situation is perhaps most conveniently pictured along the lines of some company town of the early industrial Revolution, but as will shortly be evident, conditions long ago and far away are not the essence of the problem. A fortiori, neither is the classical savings function. Suppose, further, that an election is being staged, in which everyone votes for one of two political parties. There is only one issue, and everyone agrees on what it is: passage of legislation that is likely to lead to 100 percent unionization of the labor force. All wage earners agree that the law is desirable. All textile magnates (3 percent of the total voting population) vehemently disagree. What stance do the political parties take? Analysts impressed by the familiar spatial models of party competition will of course reply that the parties must head immediately to the median position at the far right of [the figure below], where virtually all voters are located. | * 97% | * | * | * | * | * %Voters| * | * | * | * | * | * |* 3% * |* * |* * --- 0 100 Desired % Union The investment theory, however, spotlights a detail that leads to a dramatically different expectation: *When money matters importantly to mounting campaigns*, no party can afford to take up the median position that represents the views of the vast majority, if investors disagree. The mere fact that votes are out there does not imply that any party can afford to campaign for them, even if its message is what they would want to hear. In this instance, all parties depend on textiles for funding. The textile industry, of course, will not pay to undermine itself. It thus subsidizes only candidates opposed to passage of the law. (Readers who have been exposed only to the median voter model are often inclined to object: But wouldn't the textile party improve its chances of winning by embracing unionization? The all-but-irresistible tendency to this mistaken inference illustrates perfectly how a bad model can blind social scientists --- and many ordinary people, who intuitively know better --- to the harsh realities of money-driven political systems. The short answer is that if the cost of winning the election really were sponsoring unionization, textiles would, paradoxically, lose by adopting the "winning" strategy.) Given that the textile industry is the only source of campaign funds, all parties must comply with the industry's demand for a union-free environment, or else they cannot afford to compete at all. Without collusion or "conspiracy" of any kind, accordingly, each party *independently* discovers that available funds constrain it to champion the very same rate of unionization as

His reports on Cambodia's notorious Killing Fields have included examinations of Pol Pot's Nazi-style experiments, the U.N. harboring the would-be assassin of Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen, and the alleged British SAS involvement in training the Khmer Rouge. In this update, LoBaido shows how U.S. anticommunist forces unwillingly were tricked into arming and training the Khmer Rouge. By Anthony C. LoBaido © 2000, WorldNetDaily.com THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE, Burma -- In a dark sideshow to the ongoing United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in Bangkok, Thailand, U.N. chief Kofi Annan has met twice with Communist Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to hammer out the final details of the upcoming trials of the Khmer Rouge genocidal killers. Pol Pot and his cadres were responsible for the murder of 1.7 million Cambodians in the Killing Fields genocide perpetrated between 1975 and 1979. Yet, in the ensuing quarter century, not a single Khmer Rouge soldier or leader has been brought to trial or justice. Pol Pot died in 1998. Pol Pot in 1994, four years before his April 15, 1998 death. Now, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen -- a former Khmer Rouge leader who defected to the Vietnamese side -- is negotiating with the U.N. in an effort to get the world body to approve of Cambodia's handling of the upcoming trials of two Khmer Rouge leaders. The U.N. wants to place its own lawyers and other legal experts on the panel that will try the 74-year-old, one-legged ex-Khmer Rouge Gen. Ta Mok -- known as "The Butcher" -- as well as "Duch," a professed born-again Christian who ran the infamous S-21 prison in Phnom Penh. Hun Sen, whose son recently graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is reluctant to give operational control of the trials to the U.N. He points out that the U.N. gave Pol Pot a seat in exile during the 1980s, after Hun Sen's Vietnamese Communist government invaded Cambodia and overthrew the Khmer Rouge. Hun Sen wants a trial, "run by Cambodians to judge Cambodian subjects." While Hun Sen and Annan spar over legal minutiae at the United Nations meetings in Bangkok, WorldNetDaily continues to piece together the involvement of the British Special Air Service and the U.S. Special Forces in supplying and training the Khmer Rouge. Between 1985 and 1989, the British SAS trained anti-Vietnamese Cambodians in sabotage and other soldiering skills -- yet never trained any Khmer Rouge killers. Indeed, the British soldiers trained only those Cambodians loyal to the former deposed Cambodian King. However, recent interviews and research in regard to alleged American involvement with the Khmer Rouge have brought new developments to this twisted tale of genocidal insanity. American soldiers speak out "I served with the 374th Tactical Airlift Wing following the 1973 cease-fire in Vietnam," said Tom Berta in a recent interview with WorldNetDaily. "I went to Utapao RTAFB Thailand in June of that year. We had seven C-130 aircraft, and by mid-July we had 20 and were doing the bulk of the 374th's airlifts. We ran guns into Cambodia, lots of guns, 50 flights a day in July and August. "I was there in Thailand and watched the C-130's get loaded every day from June through Sept 1973. I personally flew with our aircraft on many occasions, at least 20. The CIA exercised what it called the 'Third Option' and sold arms to the Khmer Rouge," said Berta. Nina Morrison, a former pilot with the CIA front company Air America, refused to undertake any flights to arm and supply the Khmer Rouge. "The SAS were there doing training in Cambodia all right," Morrison told WorldNetDaily. "Just like they were involved recently in East Timor." Mr. Nol at the Memorial Stupa at The Killing Fields. His brother was killed by Pol Pot's henchmen. "The world in general has become a lot more complicated. As such, journalism must also adapt and become more thorough and complex to put all of the missing pieces together. In regard to the Khmer Rouge, this is dangerous work indeed," said Morrison. "True history has a way of disappearing into the night." In regard to the alleged American involvement with the Khmer Rouge, Morrison added, "I do not have words to express my

Bruce Maffeo came out of Federal District Court at 40 Centre Street on Feb. 9 after arguing the appeal of his client, investigative reporter James Sanders, and looked around to see how many journalists had shown up. Just three: me, Allan Wolper of Editor Publisher and Mr. Wolpers student at Rutgers, Tina Bui. Mr. Maffeo got a disgusted look. "The press marginalized Jim as a kook," he said. "And now they walk by him like he's a dog run over by a semi." Back in 1997, Mr. Sanders got two swatches of seat material from a disgruntled source inside the investigation of Trans World Airlines Flight 800 to test for rocket fuel. The test backed his theory that a Government missile brought the plane down, he reported, thereby enraging the Government, which prosecuted him and his wife, Liz, for aiding and abetting the removal of parts from a crash site, a law aimed at scavengers. Since then, the couple has lived a journalist's nightmare. They had to sell their house, their son had to leave college. Mrs. Sanders lost a beloved job. Their case has what her attorney Jeremy Gutman calls "totalitarian" overtones: The Government has repeatedly characterized the couple's crime as putting out "misinformation" or, as NBC put it, "what the [F.B.I.] calls a plot to rewrite the history of T.W.A. 800." That should have been a wake-up call, said Eve Burton, deputy general counsel for the New York Daily News, but she couldn't get other news organizations to support a friend-of-the-court brief. "I regret to say there was not a lot of enthusiasm," said First Amendment lawyer Victor A. Kovner. "I thought the Reporters Committee was filing something." No, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said it didn't know about Mr. Sanders' appeal in time. "They never stepped up to the plate," Mr. Maffeo grumbled. The truth is the press never liked Jim Sanders. "He's a little bit of a wacko and belligerently antigovernment," said a media source. What's fascinating about this case is not whether Mr. Sanders is right or wrong (though I think he's mostly right). It's how the media exercises self-censorship. The same year Mr. Sanders was indicted, two women in important jobs whom he worked with in challenging the official story on T.W.A.800 left their jobs following painful ordeals: Kelly O'Meara, administrative assistant to Representative Michael Forbes, whose district was nearest to the crash, and Kristina Borjesson, a producer for CBS News. Their stories point up a deep divide in our public life between a highly paid institutional press that instinctively trusts Government and a segment of the public educated by Waco and the Clinton scandals that doesn't. In the old Soviet Union, critics were put in psychiatric hospitals. Now the media merely labels them "wacky" and ignores them. IN JULY 1996, T.W.A. FLIGHT 800 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean off Long Island, killing all 230 aboard. Jim Sanders, then a 51- year-old former cop who'd published books on conservative causes, was a natural to write about it. His wife, Elizabeth, was a longtime T.W.A. employee who knew that many at the airline had doubts about the official investigation. Mrs. Sanders called Terrell Stacey, a top T.W.A. pilot who had flown the plane the day before it crashed and was a member of the National Transportation Safety Board investigation. Captain Stacey was disturbed. He knew that a veteran pilot who had witnessed the crash from the air had been warned not to use the word "missile" to describe what he saw to the press. He felt that the F.B.I. was not sharing information and had lagged in testing a suspicious red residue on some seats. The author and pilot met secretly, and in January 1997 Captain Stacey removed two two-inch swatches of foam from two seats and sent them by Federal Express to the journalist at his Virginia home. Mr. Sanders said he felt he was acting legally. All he wanted were "scrapings." There was plenty of material left. He had one strip tested at a California lab. He said the test revealed high percentages of magnesium and calcium, consistent with solid rocket fuel, and he shared the findings with an old friend, David Hendrix. A seasoned reporter at the Riverside, Calif., Press-Enterprise, Mr. Hendrix had investigated T.W.A. 800 for months for a simple

So much for post-Soviet civil rights. MOSCOW www.motherjones.com 2/4/00-- Human rights activists were outraged when Russia's KGB successor agency, the FSB, launched a grand project -- code-named SORM -- to spy on its citizens' Internet transmissions. But as if that weren't disturbing enough, last month acting President and ex-KGB agent Vladimir Putin gave the Orwellian project a momentous but little-noticed power boost: Now, not only is the long-feared FSB allowed to implement the spy technology and use it at will, but so are seven other federal security agencies, including the tax police and interior ministry police. The new SORM technology, opponents charge, allows security agencies to bypass the legal requirement to obtain a warrant before monitoring private correspondence, and will put an end to privacy and to the Internet as an instrument of democracy. It was a significant decision for an acting president's first week in office, and one that may be a sign of where Putin is taking Russia's fledgling democracy. "This means Russia has officially become a police state," said Yelena Bonner, human rights activist and wife of the late Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, in a telephone interview from Boston. The chairman of Citizens' Watch human rights group in St. Petersburg, Boris Pustintsev, called the move "the end of all email privacy." "It was bad enough that the FSB had unlimited control over confidential correspondence, and now it is multiplied seven times," Pustintsev said. "You can't fight a monster with eight heads." The 1995 Law on Operational Investigations gave the FSB the authority to monitor all private communications, from postal correspondence to cell-phone calls and electronic mail, provided the security service first obtained a warrant from the court. SORM, which in Russian stands for System for Operational-Investigative Activities, is a regulation intended to provide the FSB with the technical means to put these monitoring powers into action. According to original drafts of the SORM regulation, Internet service providers themselves are required to foot the bill for the expensive technology and even train FSB officers to use the equipment to spy on their clients. The regulation requires all ISPs to install a little "black box" rerouting device, and to build a high-speed communications line, which would hot-wire the provider -- and necessarily, all Internet users -- to FSB headquarters. By rerouting all transmissions in real time to FSB offices, the agency can readily skip the legal obstacle of first obtaining a warrant and gain unfettered access to all communications conducted by clients of Russian ISPs. In theory, a warrant would be needed to actually read any of the documentation piling up in the FSB's hands. But in practice, critics say, the FSB is unlikely to worry about such legal niceties when the information it wants is just a mouse-click away. [...] The memory of the state's powerful control over the population is still fresh in most minds. "You remember the KGB, don't you?" said Yury Vdovin, deputy chairman of Citizens' Watch. "They're used to collecting dossiers on citizens, just in case. They collected, collect and will continue to collect information on us," he said. The FSB says SORM will help law enforcement track and capture criminals ranging from "tax evaders to pedophiles" because such people may conduct or discuss their business electronically. "SORM is a normal system for locating criminals and tax evaders. The United States has such a system -- every country does," said Yelena Volchinskaya, a consultant for the State Duma Security Council, which is charged with evaluating the progress of SORM. The US government does indeed have an email=monitoring program -- and one that also circumvents the courts. The US National Security Agency's Echelon project, though still highly secretive, is reportedly used to monitor and store email and other electronic communications around the world. Nonetheless, some US Internet and privacy experts find SORM-2 more disquieting than Echelon. "Echelon and its allied systems in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand take the technology as it finds it --

John Heinz III (R-Pa.) died in a tragic plane crash in 1991, one task his family and staff faced was the disposition of the 1,200 cubic feet of files he left behind. Nearly seven years later, researchers across the globe can read the bulk of those documents on the World Wide Web, thanks to Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz Archive - probably the largest on-line archive in the world - which could become the standard for political figures who want to leave historical legacies. quot;We've done everything we would normally do in an archival thing,quot; said Archivist Edward Galloway. quot;But in conjunction, we proposed to digitize.quot; The result is breathtaking in its scope. When the digitizing process is completed later this year, more than 350 boxes of Heinz's congressional records, one million pages all told, will be available on-line in image and searchable text form. As of the first of the year, the Archives had already scanned over 680,000 pages, with nearly half that currently available on the Web. quot;As far as I know, this is the most ambitious digital imaging project out there,quot; said Galloway, the boyish, bearded, bespectacled archivist who oversees the effort. So far, the world's most-developed digital imaging project is the Archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain, with roughly two million pages. Unlike the Seville project and the National Archives, the Heinz records are available on- line, have higher-quality images, and are fully searchable. quot;For an (on-line) archival project, this is the biggest,quot; said Peter Hirtle, assistant director of the Cornell Institute for Digital Collection. quot;The Heinz project is a very interesting project. It has the advantage of being high resolution and being available over the Internet.quot; The records in the Heinz archives provide an understanding of the inner workings of a Senate office - from mundane administrative tasks, such as vacation requests, to legislative assistant memos detailing policy development. Many of the documents contain marginal scribblings of Heinz and his aides, providing insight into their thinking. One particularly eerie document is a 1978 letter from then-Republican Policy Committee chairman Sen. John Tower (R-Texas) to his colleagues after Virginia Republican Richard Obenshain (died in a plane crash while campaigning for a Senate seat. quot;There are certain minimum (safety) standards which I consistently follow that are based on the advice of seasoned professional aviators,quot; Tower wrote to Heinz. The two men would be killed in airplane accidents 13 years later, Heinz on April 4, 1991, and Tower the following day. Organization of the collection follows the archival tradition, with subgroups such as Legislative Records, Personal/Political Records, Press Relations/Media Activity Records, Constituent Service Records and Office Administration Records. On top of that, the Heinz archives developed a special search engine for the files. quot;We have built an incredible archival management tool,quot; Galloway said, referring to the custom-designed Heinz Electronic Library Interactive On-line System (HELIOS), which was developed in conjunction with the Claritech Corp. According to Karen Paul, the Senate's archivist, the search system and on-line accessibility places the project quot;on the cutting edgequot; of technology. quot; The kind of searching and the kinds of access points that that software allows the researcher to have, (are) fairly incredible,quot; she said. quot;You (can) go in and trace a

Re: [CTRL] Jesus And The Grail (2)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Hello: I have a few quick questions and comments relevant to the posts concerning Gardner and his studies... First... he mentions the Book of Jasher is this available in translation anywhere? If so, how reliable are these source insofar as how accurate are they to the orignal? Second... in the passage below, Gardner mentions the Celtic Church. I heard in passing for some source I cannot recall that in addition to canonizing more people saints, Pope John Paul II has also stripped sainthood from more people than any other pope in history. In most cases, the person from whom siatnhood was taken was a member of the early Celtic Church. Does anyone have any additional evidence regarding this??? Somewhere after the Crucifixion, Peter and his friend Paul went off to Antioch, then on to Rome, and they began the movement that became Christianity. But as recorded in the other annals, Jesus, his brother James and the majority of the other apostles continued the Nazarene movement and progressed it into Europe. It became the Celtic Church. The Nazarene movement as a Church is documented within the Celtic Church records as being formally implemented as the Church of Jesus in AD 37, four years after the Crucifixion. The Roman Church was formed 300 years later, after Paul and Peter's Christians had been persecuted for three centuries. I'd appreciate any input you might have.

[CTRL] Soviet Cosmonauts See Angels in Space (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- [And now for a change of pace. --MS] -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 14:51:58 +0100 From: Tom de Munck [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Soviet Cosmonauts See Angels in Space Repost by Tom de Munck (Tommy(M) Soviet Space Missions, Angels in Space and the Vatican Connection Something occurred with the Soviet Cosmonauts in the Salyut 7 that orbited the earth in 1985. This is a rather hushed secret that has been leaked to the west . . . The six Soviet Cosmonauts in 1985 saw "celestial beings" on the 155th day aboard their orbiting space station. This was first reported by Cosmonaut Vladimir Solevev and Oleg Atkov as well as Leonid Kizim. This is what they said, "What we saw were seven giant figures in the form of humans, but with wings and mist-like halos as in the classic depiction of angels." As the Cosmonauts were performing medical experiments in Salyut 7 high above the earth, a brilliant orange cloud enveloped them, blinding them temporarily, and when their eyes cleared, they saw the angels. The heavenly visitors, they said, followed them for about 10 minutes and vanished as suddenly as they had appeared. However, 12 days later, Cosmonauts Svetlana Savitskaya, Igor Volk, and Vladimir Dzhanibevok, who had just joined the others on the space station, also saw the beings. "They were glowing," they reported. "We were truly overwhelmed. There was a great orange light, and through it, we could see the figures of seven angels. They were smiling as though they shared a glorious secret, but within a few minutes, they were gone, and we never saw them again." Now, Doctors, keep the above in abeyance as we discuss the second thing. But first, keep in mind the crux of the matter: what is the Vatican connection. Then, I will bring this all together for you. As you know, the Hubble Telescope has been operating for a while. One of the things that certain officials or scientists connected to/or in your government are not telling you, and that the Vatican now knows, also, and has known longer than the United States Government, the Soviet Government, and the French Government, is that the Hubble Telescope in space has sent back the pictures of ethereal beings, bathed in this orange glow seen by the occupants of Salyut 7. These "angels," according to scientists and astronomers, would cause a world panic and confusion because the Vatican knows that they - - AND HERE'S THE VATICAN CONNECTION - - are truly, "beings of light." But, these computer enhanced images have convinced scientists and astronomers alike that they are real, live angels. The Vatican's interest in the Hubble Space Telescope is that these beings are real, are being seen, but they are not the benign, friendly angels watching over us that the scientists think they are. Scientists first thought they were a newly discovered star cluster because of the magnitude and brilliance of their colors. It became obvious, with the omputer enhanced pictures, "that these were creatures we were seeing," according to one scientist at NASA. They--now get this--were, "a group of 7 angels flying together," in the NGC-3532, (CARINA) three-billion-year-old star cluster. The scientists showed these pictures to the Vatican, and there were, "seven giant figures. All had wings and mist-like halos," reports one engineer. "They were about 80 feet tall and had wing-spans as large as airplanes. Their faces were round and peaceful, and they were all beaming. It seemed like they were overjoyed at being photographed by the Hubble Telescope. They seemed to be smiling at each other as if they were letting the rest of the universe in on a glorious secret." NASA finally revealed to the Vatican that this was not the first time such a thing has occurred through the Hubble Telescope. In the Souz 8 mission a few years back, after 120 days into the mission, Soviet cosmonauts of that flight also encountered similar smiling angels. The Vatican's interest, as they have told the three governments in secret meetings above, is that these "angels" are truly those that are assuming he guise of an "angel of light" as spoken of by the Apostle Paul. The figure "7" represents the 7 churches of Asia and their problems that will soon come upon us. It also represents The Seven Periods of the Church, of which we are now into the Fifth Period. This is the bad period, the period of pain, suffering, and destruction. The Period to follow, the Sixth Period, will be a period of consolation. Pope John Paul II is well apprised and advised of the above and has been for some time. He feels that we will see UFOs landing soon across the orld. He further feels that these are not the benevolent beings they have been made out to be. All this information is coming to you from sources in the Vatican. Doctors, read and use at your own discretion! =
[CTRL] Another DARK Chemtrail Hypothesis !!
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RMNews Agent's Forum http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/config.pl News Posted By: Ghost_Writer Date: Thursday, 17 February 2000, at 11:36 p.m. Another Dark Chemtrail Hypothesis This is from Icke's E-mag: http://www.50megs.com/davidicke/icke/magazine/vol10/chem/chemtrailinsider.html 2-17-2000 So, you haven't yet figured out the airborne conditioning-agent release program that is being operated by the government. I'll give you some hints, but first I'll give you a little information about myself. I'm a retired government scientist with an advanced degree in one of the health-related disciplines. I do not use my real name for fear of retaliation, either against me, or against members of my family. I always try to route my e-mail communications so that they appear to come from another source, usually from one somewhere within the government. Sometimes I use the internet resources of the public library - whatever it takes to hide my true identity and confuse those who don't want the sort of information I possess to fall into the public's hands. I have a small circle of friends who are, or were, in key positions within our military and several government agencies. These are not the very top level personnel, but mid to upper mid-level people, scientists and analysts, who are in positions where they can see the day-to-day activities of what's going on, who are charged with implementing the details, but who are never quite privy to the schemes behind the work they do. Each of my contacts has been able to supply me with a portion of the puzzle, but separately, none of them understands the whole story. I'll tell you what I've pieced together so far. But I have to admit that this information frightens me because there is no place I can go with it. What am I supposed to do - write my congressman? I believe that would be like signing my own death warrant. This whole chemtrail issue is related to the plan for decreasing the world population to around 450-500 million -- and starting with the US first. Why? The people of the US are the only ones with even the remotest chance of stopping this. That is, if they knew about it. That's why the US has to be the first to go. You have to understand that the world's elite covet the US for its geographic diversity - and they would love to return this country to its condition as it existed prior to Columbus setting foot here, but without the Native Americans this time of course. 20 You may have already heard how several national parks have been designated as world biospheres - that's the plan for all of North America, a giant nature park and playground that will be devoid of annoying human beings (that would be us). And the people actually involved in doing the spraying, as well as those who will take part in the rest of the plans, are being duped into believing they will be spared, that is, permitted to live and remain on this continent as administrators and caretakers of this vast nature preserve. I understand that about 150 to 200 thousand people are projected as necessary for maintenance purposes. But it's likely these people will not be Americans. Those in charge wouldn't want to risk the possibility of some sort of revolt, so the workers will probably be brought in from Europe and Asia. There are rumors floating about the internet that the chemtrails are part of some sort of secret program the government is doing to protect the US from future biological attacks. Nothing could be further from the truth. The plan is to sensitize, or condition, the US population to being wiped out by influenza A. Over the past few years, people have been encouraged to get flu shots to protect them against the generally non-lethal strains that circulate through the population during flu season. 20 Each year the US government has guessed which strains were most likely to spread. They seem to always guess right - don't they? This flu season, the government protected people with a trivalent vaccine that included the A/Beijing/262/95-like (H1N1) and the A/Sydney/5/97-like (H3N2). It also contained the B/Beijing/184/93-like hemagglutinin antigens. For those not familiar with virology, the H and N refer to proteins on the outside of the virus, the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which are responsible for the virus attaching to, and then invading, a host cell. The public has been quite pleased with the success of the vaccines offered so far. But that will change in the future. Researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (or USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick in Frederick MD have reconstructed and modified the H1N1 Spanish Flu virus, making it far more deadly than it ever was back when it was responsible for the 1918-1919 flu pandemic that killed over 20 million worldwide and over 500,000 here in the US. Consider that it could have killed many more, but back then, people
[CTRL] On Smart Guns (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- EDITORIAL February 16, 2000 Risky gun safety The Maryland legislature will consider funding research for "smart gun" technology today. It should not bother. "Smart gun" technology is the new, sophisticated-electronic lock that promises to distinguish between authorized and unauthorized gun users. It is also the newest form of gun control. Gov. Parris Glendening is asking the legislature for $3 million over three years to pay for its development. Under his proposed legislation, the research money would be paired with a mandate that all new handguns be sold with smart locks after May 2003. Before the mandate kicks in, an 11-member commission would report to the governor on the availability of the technology. Following that, Mr. Glendening would likely implement the mandate as one of his last acts in office. Mr. Glendening thinks "smart gun" technology would save children. Certainly, saving innocent children is an admirable goal, and it is doubtful that any lawmaker would want to stop children from being saved. Consider how many children accidentally shoot themselves or other children in a given year. According to statistics provided by Yale Law Professor John Lott Jr., who will be testifying before the Maryland legislature today, 42 children under the age of 10 died nationwide as a result of an accidental shooting in 1996. For children under the age of 15 the nationwide number grows to 136, in 1996. In a nation of 270 million people, the number of accidental shootings seems a relatively minor risk given, say, automobile accidents. But each child's death is a tragedy. What can be done? === Unfortunately, the answer is not as simple as paying === for new technology and then mandating it. When the === nation faced a similar safety question with children === and medicine, child safety caps were mandated. It === turned out that many parents were lulled into a false === sense of security and depended on those caps to === keep the medicine from their children. They relaxed === their vigilance, and, as a result, more children were === poisoned than before the mandate. Similarly, some states mandated trigger locks on firearms. The General Accounting Office discovered that children older than 7 were smart enough to defeat that safety precaution and again parents were wrong to count on on those locks for security. The lesson clearly is that adults have to be mindful of children. They must design a set of safety procedures that fit that family and that child. Those safety precautions can include gun safes, locks and "smart gun" technology, but the key ingredient remains personal responsibility. If parents do not instruct their children in the proper respect for a firearm impressing upon children that like a car, if wielded irresponsibly, a gun can be dangerous then more children are going to be hurt. No technology and no government check will change that. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] 10 Reasons to Dismantle the WTO
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- forwarded message From: Robert Weissman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: List CORP-FOCUS [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 Subj: 10 Reasons to Dismantle the WTO 10 Reasons to Dismantle the WTO By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman Add a new constituency to the long list of World Trade Organization (WTO) critics which already includes consumers, labor, environmentalists, human rights activists, fair trade groups, AIDS activists, animal protection organizations, those concerned with Third World development, religious communities, women's organizations. The latest set of critics includes WTO backers and even the WTO itself. As the WTO faces crystallized global opposition -- to be manifested in massive street demonstrations and colorful protests in Seattle, where the WTO will hold its Third Ministerial meeting from November 30 to December 3 -- the global trade agency and its strongest proponents veer between a shrill defensiveness and the much more effective strategy of admitting shortcomings and trumpeting the need for reform. WTO critics now face a perilous moment. They must not be distracted by illusory or cosmetic reform proposals, nor by even more substantive proposals for changing the WTO -- should they ever emerge from the institution or its powerful rich country members. Instead, they should unite around an uncompromising demand to dismantle the WTO and its corporate-created rules. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. The WTO prioritizes trade and commercial considerations over all other values. WTO rules generally require domestic laws, rules and regulations designed to further worker, consumer, environmental, health, safety, human rights, animal protection or other non-commercial interests to be undertaken in the "least trade restrictive" fashion possible -- almost never is trade subordinated to these noncommercial concerns. 2. The WTO undermines democracy. Its rules drastically shrink the choices available to democratically controlled governments, with violations potentially punished with harsh penalties. The WTO actually touts this overriding of domestic decisions about how economies should be organized and corporations controlled. "Under WTO rules, once a commitment has been made to liberalize a sector of trade, it is difficult to reverse," the WTO says in a paper on the benefits of the organization which is published on its web site. "Quite often, governments use the WTO as a welcome external constraint on their policies: 'we can't do this because it would violate the WTO agreements.'" 3. The WTO does not just regulate, it actively promotes, global trade. Its rules are biased to facilitate global commerce at the expense of efforts to promote local economic development and policies that move communities, countries and regions in the direction of greater self-reliance. 4. The WTO hurts the Third World. WTO rules force Third World countries to open their markets to rich country multinationals, and abandon efforts to protect infant domestic industries. In agriculture, the opening to foreign imports, soon to be imposed on developing countries, will catalyze a massive social dislocation of many millions of rural people. 5. The WTO eviscerates the Precautionary Principle. WTO rules generally block countries from acting in response to potential risk -- requiring a probability before governments can move to resolve harms to human health or the environment. 6. The WTO squashes diversity. WTO rules establish international health, environmental and other standards as a global ceiling through a process of "harmonization;" countries or even states and cities can only exceed them by overcoming high hurdles. 7. The WTO operates in secrecy. Its tribunals rule on the "legality" of nations' laws, but carry out their work behind closed doors. 8. The WTO limits governments' ability to use their purchasing dollar for human rights, environmental, worker rights and other non-commercial purposes. In general, WTO rules state that governments can make purchases based only on quality and cost considerations. 9. The WTO disallows bans on imports of goods made with child labor. In general, WTO rules do not allow countries to treat products differently based on how they were produced -- irrespective of whether made with brutalized child labor, with workers exposed to toxics or with no regard for species protection. 10. The WTO legitimizes life patents. WTO rules permit and in some cases require patents or similar exclusive protections for life forms. Some of these problems, such as the WTO's penchant for secrecy, could potentially be fixed, but the core problems -- prioritization of commercial over other values, the constraints on democratic decision-making and the bias against local economies -- cannot, for they are inherent
[CTRL] DoD Contractor Killed in Parking Lot Mishap
Parking Lot Device Kills Motorist TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Investigators at MacDill Air Force Base were trying to determine Saturday how a parking lot security device malfunctioned, causing an accident that killed a retired reservist. Donna Jo Norder, 46, was driving into a lot at U.S. Special Operations Command on Friday when a 3-foot barrier popped up underneath her car. Norder, a retired lieutenant colonel reservist and a Department of Defense contractor, had used a clearance card to access the lot, said Master Sgt. Greg Bade, a MacDill spokesman. The windshield of her car was smashed, both airbags deployed and the front end of her car was perched on top of the barrier when rescue workers arrived. She died at the scene, officials said. The device is designed to retract into the ground when an electronic security card is used. The barricades are used to control traffic flow at secure installations such as MacDill. "Everybody was definitely shocked at what happened,'' Bade said. "Our sympathies go out to family members. We've lost one of our own.'' 19-Feb-00 18:54 EST Copyright 2000 The Associated Press.

[CTRL] The Roosevelt-Astor Espionage Ring
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- from: New York History JULY 1981 - The Roosevelt-Astor Espionage Ring By JEFFERY M. DORWART The little-known story of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's spies, who were often effective and always high in the social register. Jeffery Dorwart teaches history at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey, and is writing a book on Naval Intelligence between the world wars. FROM THE BEGINNING, the names Roosevelt and Astor symbolized New York history. Both families traced their roots to colonial times, prospered through local real estate transactions, moved in exclusive society circles and maintained homesteads along the banks of the historic Hudson River. The Roosevelt farm at Hyde Park stood a short distance to the south of the Astor estate at Rhinebeck, and these Dutchess County gentry formed close associations and considered themselves part of the same intimate little group. During the early part of the twentieth century Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his neighbor William Vincent Astor promised to perpetuate these earlier ties and maintain family connections. But the warm friendship and special relationship between the two men in the decade before the second world war developed outside the natural course of affairs and in an unexpected and mysterious manner.[1] FDR's relationship with Vincent Astor developed slowly. Eight years Astor's senior, Roosevelt pursued a career in New York politics and then went to Washington in 1913 as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in Woodrow Wilson's administrations. The previous year, Astor's father, John Jacob Astor IV, died suddenly in the sinking of the ocean liner Titanic, forcing the young man to leave Harvard and manage his father's multiminion-dollar estate. Astor and Roosevelt met briefly during World War I to discuss organization of a Naval Reserve Force composed of yachts and powerboats, but then Astor went to sea on convoy duty while Franklin remained at his desk in Washington. Not until Roosevelt's crippling polio attack in 1921 did the two Hudson River aristocrats begin to visit each other regularly, especially since FDR sought relief for his paralyzed limbs in Astor's heated indoor swimming pool at Rhinebeck.[2] As Roosevelt convalesced quietly, leaving his political fortunes in the hands of hard-working private secretary Louis Howe and wife Eleanor, an active Vincent Astor moved to the forefront of New York's fast-paced society world. Wealth meant to Astor not only sleek yachts, powerful motor cars and his own airplane, but also vigorous participation in social reforms, scientific explorations and in groups advocating strong American air and maritime services. The latter interests brought Astor together with a select group of like-minded New Yorkers such as the Long Island RooseveltsKermit and Theodore Jr., naturalist C. Suydam Cutting, world explorer and journalist Marshall Field III, philanthropists Duncan Stewart Ellsworth and Barklie Mckee Henry, mining expert Oliver Dwight Filley, Wall Street lawyer Henry G. Gray, airplane engine inventor Charles Lanier Lawrence, banker Robert Gordon McKay and stockbrokers Grafton Howland Pyne and Kenneth Schley. The usual organizations such as the Knickerbocker and New York Yacht Clubs were not appropriate to these interests. Astor and his friends required a retreat where they could gather in private to discuss current political, financial and international topics. Thus in 1927 they formed a secret society called The ROOM, which met monthly in a nondescript apartment at 34 East 62nd Street in New York City, complete with unlisted telephone and mail drop. The R OOM's founders kept the existence of their little gathering from everyone except a few select friends. New membership was restricted to men who shared all the attributes and ideas of the original organizers, including banker Winthrop W. Aldrich, reformist Judge Frederic Kemochan, philanthropist William Rhinelander Stewart, Assistant Secretary of War for Air F. Trubee Davison, Andrew Mellon's son-in-law and sometime diplomat David K. E. Bruce, national tennis champion Reginald Fincke, Dr. Eugene Hillhouse Pool of Columbia University Medical School, publisher Nelson Doubleday, archaeologist Clarence L. Hay- and Kermit's close English friend, Captain H. Nugent Head of the Fourth Hussars, a frequent visitor to his wealthy wife's New York family.[3] At their monthly meetings, ROOM members gathered for dinner and conversation. When members returned from their continual series of world travels, they reported observations to The ROOM. "It is hoped to learn from Suydam [Cutting] what he has been doing in China," Kermit noted before one session. Occasionally a special guest such as polar explorer Commander Richard E. Byrd would be invited to discuss his experiences. The visit to The ROOM of British author and veteran intelligence officer Somerset Maugham evoked the most enthusiasm. because many members

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Hidden Party Room Found at Citadel Contents Included Empties and a Racial Slur Feb. 18, 2000 CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Eight Citadel cadets face disciplinary action for using a secret party room under an old barracks where cadets drank in defiance of school rules against alcohol, authorities said. "They've got some explaining to do," said retired Brig. Gen. Emory Mace, the commandant of cadets. The eight will appear before a disciplinary board next week. Punishment could include up to 360 "tours" and confinement to campus until the tours are completed. A tour is 50 minutes marching in the barracks while carrying a rifle. School officials said Thursday the room was found earlier this month. Christmas lights were strung in the underground utility room, and a beanbag chair and an old mattress were used for seating. Officials found four empty liquor bottles and a racial slur on a piece of cardboard on the wall. "We don't know who did it and probably never will," said Mace, who refused to say what the slur was. Cadets found a 2-foot trap door beneath a desk that led to the 200-square-foot room, which had a dirt floor and walls. No one knows exactly how long cadets had been using it, but college spokeswoman Heather Anderson said it may have been used for years. The Padgett-Thomas barracks, the oldest on campus, was built in 1922, and the trap door and underground rooms were once used for access to pipes and mechanical equipment, she said. The rooms had been sealed off years ago, and maintenance crews Thursday permanently sealed the trap door, Anderson said. Mace said the room was discovered during a night inspection to make sure cadets were all in their rooms. The cadet making the inspection knocked on the barracks room door but did not immediately receive an answer. A few minutes later, five or six cadets came running out. The other cadets came forward later. A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] CAAF Update - 2/2000 Editorial by Daniel New
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! CAAF Update - 2/2000 Editorial by Daniel New Newspaper and television coverage has widely reported that SPC4 Michael New was in the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF) with his attorneys LTC Henry Hamilton, AUS (Ret.) and appointed Army Captain Norm Zamboni, on 4 February, 2000, in the District of Columbia. There are numerous articles to which the reader may refer, including some on our website at http://www.mikenew.com. This is to elaborate and expand upon those articles and to keep you, the Support Team, well informed about what's happening and what it means. It also contains more editorial content than most of our publications. This is the final appeal of the original-court martial, which was held over four years ago, in Schweinfurt, Germany. (So much for "a speedy trial.") The merits of our case were not before this court. The only question argued was whether the original court-martial was flawed when the judge, LTC Gary Jewell, refused to allow the evidence to be shown to the seven man panel (military equivalent to a jury). Presenting one's evidence is, technically speaking, an "element of defense." When an element of defense is denied a defendant, then justice is not served, according to the Supreme Court in 1995, just months before this trial, by a 9-0 vote! (The Gauden Case.) So argued LTC Hamilton, and eloquently. He was outstanding in his presentation. To the first-time viewer, this court (CAAF) like the Army Court of Criminal Appeals before it, are more like a free-for-all than a trial. While decorum is maintained, the carefully worded speeches of the lawyers are generally trashed within 60 seconds as one justice or another will ask a question, probing a weak point, trying to get clarification or even challenging each lawyer in turn. It's a very tense arena, in which each attorney must be on his toes, and which quite often turns devastating when an unanticipated question "ambushes" an otherwise prepared attorney. So it seemed on February 4 with the Army's attorney, Captain Haywood, who is no doubt a competent attorney and a fine officer. But she seemed unnerved by the attack upon her contention that "life of the mission (of the Army) depends upon total obedience." Almost immediately a justice asked her to clarify the government's position with, "What about an illegal order?" After listening to some waffling, he repeated the question in very pointed terms and she admitted, "Yes, your honor. All orders must be obeyed." (Words to that effect. I'm quoting from memory here.) LTC Hamilton, in his rebuttal, made it very clear that this question was settled at Nuremburg, and that while German soldiers had to take an oath to the Fuehrer, American soldiers take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath of obedience to the Commander in Chief! The President is subject to the same Constitution that the Citizen Soldier is. It sort of went downhill for the Army after that, and the dozens of military personnel who were in the room to observe, saw the brilliant "Hammerin' Hank Hamilton" at his finest. Hamilton is a legend in the making, and we're proud to have him represent Michael New. If CAAF rules for the Army, upholding the court-martial, then the door is opened for Michael's attorneys to file a petition of certiorari to the Supreme Court, which is not obligated to accept it. This appears to be the only way this threshold case can be tried on its merits. If CAAF rules against the Army, reversing or vacating the court-martial, then any number of options are available to them. First, they can order a new court-martial, and start all over. (Do NOT bet the farm on this option!) Or, they can just kick SPC New out of the Army for any reason, give him any type of discharge they want (but not worse than the original Bad Conduct Discharge) and completely dodge the fundamental legal issues that Michael New raised when he refused to be pressed into mercenary service under a foreign power. One of the great ironies of this entire debacle which the Army brought upon itself, by denying SPC New a transfer, is that he is defending the integrity of their uniform and they are prosecuting him for it. As Col Ronald Ray (USMC, Ret.) put it, "SPC New is the first American ever to be court- martialed for wanting to serve his country exclusively." Most soldiers resent being forced to go on United Nations deployments, but they resign themselves to their fate, rationalizing that they are getting extra money, and they can always use that! Many of them know it is fundamentally wrong, but don't have what it takes to "just say no" to tyranny. There are a couple of words that come to mind when people do that which they think is wrong for money. This issue cuts across all political party lines and across the political spectrum.
[CTRL] US secret agents work at Microsoft: French intelligence
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Well Netscape and AOL also read your computer online! N US secret agents work at Microsoft: French intelligence Source: AFP | Published: Saturday February 19, 7:44 AM http://www.theage.com.au/breaking/0002/19/A27800-2000Feb19.shtml PARIS, Feb 18 - A French intelligence report today accused US secret agents of working with computer giant Microsoft to develop software allowing Washington to spy on communications around the world. The report, drawn up by the Strategic Affairs Delegation (DAS), the intelligence arm of the French Defence Ministry, was quoted in today's edition of the news-letter Le Monde du Renseignement (Intelligence World). Written by a senior officer at the DAS, the report claims agents from the National Security Agency (NSA) helped install secret programmes on Microsoft software, currently in use in 90 per cent of computers. According to the report there was a 'strong suspicion' of a lack of security fed by insistent rumours about the existence of spy programs on Microsoft, and by the presence of NSA personnel in Bill Gates' development teams.

[CTRL] AIDS destroying families across Africa
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Want to send this story to another AOL member? Click on the heart at the top of this window. AIDS destroying families across Africa By Kieran Murray NAMAVE, Uganda, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Joyce Nasuuna still has a grandmother's glint in her eye, a sign of amazing strength for someone who has had to bury so many children. Even in a continent devastated by AIDS, Nasuuna's story is tragic. Nine of her 12 children have died, at least six of them victims of AIDS, and five of her grandchildren have also been killed by the disease. She now lives in a miserable mud home outside the Ugandan capital Kampala that literally crumbles whenever heavy rains roll through, and she has been left alone to look after nine remaining grandchildren. The children are regularly sick and doctors suspect at least two are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. But Nasuuna, 63, still finds a few things to smile about. ``Sometimes I feel happy, especially when we have something to eat, when the children are happy and playing,'' she says as some of the children scamper around the small plot of land next to the tiny one-room hut where all 10 of them sleep, curled up together on the dirt floor. ``I would have been living here alone but, because of my grandchildren, I keep busy all the time and that makes me happy,'' she says with a smile, her two-year-old granddaughter Kisakye -- which means Mercy in Luganda -- sleeping on her lap. Nasuuna admits, however, she can keep her spirits up only by blocking out much of the past, and part of her future too. ``I have to forget about the dead ones and concentrate on the orphans. I have to find their food and make sure they are safe,'' she says, although 'making sure they are safe' does not mean finding out whether they are healthy or not. ``I am afraid of getting them tested,'' she says. ``I am not sure which ones are HIV-positive. I was advised by the medical people not to have them tested because there will be bad news and it will bring me a lot of bad thoughts.'' It would also make very little difference to their chances of survival. While many patients in the West have benefited from drug cocktails that slow down the progression of AIDS, such treatment is way too expensive for virtually all Africans. Instead, doctors able to deal with lethal AIDS-related illnesses like tuberculosis or diarrhoea only when they occur. Almost no HIV-positive pregnant women are given drugs to prevent them passing the virus on to their children. FAMILIES CAN NO LONGER COPE In the past, the effects of poverty, unemployment, illness and death were mitigated by the strength of extended families across the continent -- relatives would help each other through short-term crises with food and shelter, and take in orphaned children as their own. But now AIDS is tearing holes even in that last line of defence, simply because it is killing so many would-be providers and the remaining adults of working age already have their hands full looking after their own children. The United Nations estimates that about 11.2 million children have been orphaned by AIDS worldwide with 95 percent of them in sub-Saharan Africa, and the number will rise to above 13 million by the end of this year. Women like Nasuuna are increasingly being left to look after their grandchildren and the number of households headed by children is also rising dramatically. ``The safety net is traditionally aunts and uncles but they are now saying 'We are struggling and we have our own children. If we take in more, our own will suffer','' says Geoff Foster, a paediatrician who works with a church-based charity helping AIDS orphans in the Mutare region of eastern Zimbabwe. ``When the aunts and uncles are unwilling or unable to help, the children are going to grandparents...and when that final safety net fails you see more and more child-headed households.'' CHILDREN TAKE OVER AS ADULTS John Buule's family in the central Ugandan village of Lweza lives in a four-room brick home and was relatively comfortable before AIDS took its toll. His father died in 1997 after spending the last two years of his life in bed, and his mother followed him three months later, leaving John alone to raise his seven brothers and sisters, aged between seven and 14. John, now 19, gets up every morning at five, makes breakfast for everyone, sends them off to school, goes out to work and rushes home to make sure they are all fed and washed before bed. Lively and jovial, John says he likes the role of parent, playing with the children and cajoling them to study hard and keep the house clean, but the pressure of doing it all by himself without help from relatives sometimes gets to him. ``No one wants to help us. When my father died, my mother was already sick and couldn't get out of bed. But they told me they had their own problems. And now they never come to see us,'' he says, tears welling up in
[CTRL] TIMES:How MI5FBI spied on Lennon
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- London Times 2/20/00: THE secrets of how MI5 spied on John Lennon are to be revealed after a ruling by a Los !-- -- A Angeles federal court cleared the way for the release of British intelligence reports held TARGET="_new"IMG by the FBI, write John Harlow and Nicholas Rufford. The 10 packages of documents, which are held at Washington's FBI headquarters, are Next: Secret Barclays report reveals how banks rip off customers believed to expose how Lennon gave money to the Irish Republican Army before its split between the Official and Provisional wings. They also show that he paid £46,000 to left-wing groups including the Trotskyist Workers' Revolutionary party (WRP) and Red Mole, a Marxist magazine edited by Tariq Ali, the student protest leader. Some of the information came from an MI5 "deep throat" inside the WRP who passed on details of Lennon's donations to the Americans and, bizarrely, a handwritten transcript of the lyrics to Lennon's song Working Class Hero, which he is thought to have sent to the WRP as a gift. The WRP achieved fame through its leading lights, the actors Vanessa and Corin Redgrave, but the movement has since fallen apart as a result of of internal rows. MI5 passed material from its own files to the FBI in the early 1970s after Lennon moved to America and began campaigning against the Vietnam war. Advisers to Richard Nixon, the former American president, ordered J Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI, to find information to help deport Lennon. Following receipt of the MI5 intelligence, the FBI stepped up its surveillance of the singer. Lennon and Yoko Ono, his wife, were followed to Irish bars in New York that were fundraising for the IRA. The FBI even transcribed the lyrics of songs that Lennon performed at demonstrations. It is thought that Lennon's attraction to the republican cause dated back to his Liverpudlian roots, where he was surrounded by Irish expatriates. In 1971, when internment without trial was introduced in Northern Ireland, he held a sign at a London rally that read "Victory for the IRA against British imperialism". After the 1972 Bloody Sunday shootings, he proclaimed: "If it's a choice between the IRA and the British Army, I'm with the IRA." The FBI and CIA have released hundreds of pages of highly censored versions of documents relating to their own investigations but they have refused to make public papers passed to them by MI5 without permission from Britain. MI5 held back some information from the FBI, fearing - correctly - that it would eventually become public. Yesterday's court ruling makes it difficult for the American government to resist a further request for the release of the British files. The decision follows a 20-year campaign by Jon Wiener, a history professor at the University of California and author of a new book about the Lennon files, Gimme Some Truth. Wiener first applied for the files to be released only a few weeks after Lennon was murdered in New York in December 1980. "I find it disappointing that Tony Blair's government, with its commitment to freedom of information, continues to block 30-year-old information about a dead rock star," Wiener said. Rupert Allason, the former Conservative MP and espionage historian, said yesterday that he was not surprised by the reluctance of the British government to release such documents. "Tony Blair is as trapped by institutional secrecy as his predecessors," he said.

All organizators have asked the demonstrators to use no violence. It is interesting to see what the police is doing against those violent demonstrators who passed the borders from Germany and other countries - the so-called "demo tourists", who get a kick from creating trouble in otherwise peaceful demonstrations (as we have seen them mess up the scene in Seattle). Austrian police is systematically confiscating the weapons from these people, but allow them to participate in the demonstration after they have no more equipment left which could be used to hurt anybody. All construction sites in the demonstration area are especially guarded, so that demonstrators cannot acquire pavement- stones from there and use them as weapons. TV-pictures show that the police people must have been individually trained to not lose control of their temper, and always act in a careful way without hurting anybody. So far it looks all very constructive. Is Austria setting examples again?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the 1770s, before the Fabians, and after the failure of the Knights Templar to establish a global oligarchy, here in the soon-to-be good ole USA, there were "Committees of Correspondence," and "Sons of Liberty." They communicated with each other about their distrust of the Crown. They complained about their lack of representation in Parliament. And they incited a revolution. Is that what we are? Sometimes it feels like it. If so, how long do we have? In other words, how long will it be before the feds try to shut us down? Looks like they've already monkeyed around with Mike Ruppert's website. Who's next? All of us? I think many of the things we hear about and see in the news packaged for us by the mainstream media, is designed to help the government increase its power over our private lives. Is it not remotely possible that the recent hacking which shut down Yahoo, CNN.com, and some other popular websites and search engines, was engineered by our friends at the FBI? CIA? NSA? Think about it. Would it not behoove them to CREATE a problem, so that they could fix it? That's one of the oldest ruling-class tricks in the world. I once posted an anecdote about the man whose father was head of the MacArthur Foundation in Manila. He said Marcos had engaged in "surgical bombing" before wresting control of the government. The people were so frazzled they were ready to follow anyone who had a plan. Of course, since Marcos was controlling the bombing in the first place, his plan worked. I think I'll go to my grave believing that the feds CREATED a situation in Waco in 1993. And it's clear that the FBI knew Sheik Omar's followers had targeted the World Trade Center weeks before the bombing. Isn't it also interesting that when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, he called on the National Guard and the ATF to shut down a "Christian Identity" cult compound in the northern Arkansas? And was Ambrose Evans Pritchard correct when he reported that Clinton had remarked on Air Force One, the day after his re-election, "If it hadn't been for the Oklahoma City bombing, we wouldn't have made it in"? Funny; Carol Elizabeth Howe (ATF informant) told her handlers, weeks before the bombing, that the bad guys had been casing the Murrah building? How long do we really have?

[CTRL] Al Gore: Second Class Male
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://www.frontpagemag.com/archives/ponte/ponte11-10-99.htm Al Gore: Second Class Male Lowell Ponte FrontPagemag.com | November 10, 1999 "BILL CLINTON IS NOT AN ALPHA MALE." Dr. David Barash spoke these words clinically, matter-of-factly, as we discussed Vice President Al Gore on my national radio show. Gore had hired feminist author Naomi Wolf last January for $180,000 per year -- a consulting fee far higher than his own salary -- to teach him how to appear man-like, appeal to women, and create the illusion of being a leader. Ms. Wolf reportedly advised Mr. Gore to let his "inner oddness out," and to break out of his "Beta male" inferior status by publicly confronting the "Alpha male" in the Oval Office, the man he hopes to succeed, President Clinton. Barash is an expert at comparing animal and human behaviors. A Ph.D. in zoology, he is Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is author of more than twenty books, including Making Sense of Sex and, most recently, The Mammal in the Mirror. Dr. Barash's articles have appeared in Psychology Today and Playboy. No wonder he brings deep insight to the strangeness of President Clinton and his understudy Mr. Gore. "Alpha-male status is conferred by the other males in a group, not by the females," explained Dr. Barash. "But Mr. Clinton became president through the support of females, not males." The Clinton-Gore ticket won two minority victories -- 43 percent in 1992, 49 percent in 1996. In both cases, Clinton lost the male vote but carried far more than half the votes cast by single and divorced (but not married) women. Watching the latest PBS agitprop, Not For Ourselves Alone, about suffragettes Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who could forget that without female votes Bill Clinton and Al Gore would never have reached the White House? Researchers have found that when a man perfumed with the pig-mating pheromone chemical androsterone goes into a bar, he is more attractive to women. He is also much more likely be punched in the face by men, the subliminal scent triggering a reaction opposite that in women. Bill Clinton seems to elicit a similar response, almost biochemically attracting the passion of immature women but also the deep, visceral contempt of mature men. True Alpha males, by contrast, are respected and followed by other males in their group, gaining access to females as a byproduct of this status. Females, the sociobiologists tell us, are genetically predisposed to give themselves sexually to whomever attains this power status conferred by the group's males. Perhaps the clearest indicator of President Clinton's true stature among males is that whenever, as Commander-in-Chief, he appears before any unit of the military (he once boasted of "loathing"), he insists that all soldiers be disarmed or have all bullets removed from their weapons. No other president in history, Republican or Democrat, has exhibited such insecurity about being in the presence of his own loyal warriors. Clinton also had a warning issued to all soldiers that they will be punished if they voice their feelings about him to the press. This is not the behavior of a confident leader of a free society, nor of a true Alpha male. So why do so many unfulfilled women support Bill Clinton? He is a seducer, not just individually but also en masse. He is empathetic, attuned to feelings rather than ideas. My wife Ellen believes that Clinton's appeal is even more basic: he is seen by women as someone completely under the control of a woman, Hillary. He may sneak around behind her back, but Clinton will use his political power exactly as Hillary commands. (Alpha males, by the way, always do what they do boldly and openly. Sneaking moments of cheap oral sex in hidden back passageways is the behavior of subordinate Beta or even lower-ranking males. Likewise, Mr. Gore's sneaky and smarmy efforts to pay Naomi Wolf under the table, keeping her position hidden from the Federal Election Commission and public, and to prevent her appearance last Sunday on ABC's This Week were Beta or lower, not the way of a legitimate leader or Alpha male.) Author Toni Morrison described Bill Clinton as "America's first Black President," manifesting "every trope of Blackness," from his broken home upbringing to his choice of musical instrument, the saxophone. I suspect that Bill Clinton is also our first "female" President, manifesting "every trope of womanliness" -- from emotional seductiveness and quivering lip to submissiveness before a stronger mate. Al Gore is not as polarizing as Clinton. Men perceive him as more or less male, but also as someone who, because of an overbearing strong father, never quite attained full manhood. To help his senator father win reelection during the Vietnam War, Gore put on the uniform,
[CTRL] Gore attacked over Colombia oil project
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- http://www.ft.com/hippocampus/q3270c6.htm Gore attacked over Colombia oil project By Matthew Jones Environmentalists and human rights activists are accusing Al Gore, the US vice-president and candidate for the Democratic party presidential nomination, of hypocrisy over his shareholding in an oil company prospecting in Colombian rainforests. Mr Gore has targeted the environmental and human rights vote as part of his election campaign and was last week rated "the most knowledgeable" presidential candidate on green issues by the influential League of Conservation Voters. But the U'wa Defense Working Group, which represents the U'wa indigenous tribe from the north east of Colombia, says Mr Gore is inextricably linked with Occidental Petroleum, the US oil group which plans to start drilling on its ancestral lands in the next few months in search of an estimated 1.5bn barrels of oil. According to Mr Gore's official Public Financial Disclosure Report for 1998, the latest information available, the vice-president owned between $250,000 and $500,000 in Occidental stock inherited from his father, Albert Gore Sr, who died in 1998. Mr Gore Sr became a board member of Occidental Petroleum after losing his Senate seat in 1970. According to the Centre for Public Integrity, a non-profit organisation that analyses ethics in politics, Ray Irani, the Occidental chief executive, made a donation of $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee in the early 90s following a stay in the Lincoln Room of the White House. The campaign group is urging environmentalists not to vote for Mr Gore and to protest about his links to Occidental on the campaign trail. Neither the White House nor Mr Gore's campaign team has responded to requests for comment. Stephen Kretzmann, U'wa campaign co-ordinator for Amazon Watch, a California-based environmental group, said: "This will not look good for Al Gore in the midst of an election campaign. It is clear that he could stop the drilling with a phone call and if he doesn't do something about this he will lose the environmental and human rights vote." The U'wa, who number 5,000, first hit the headlines in 1996 when they threatened to commit collective suicide if Occidental's drilling plans were not halted. The drill site falls 600m outside the legally recognised U'wa Unified Reserve but the tribe claims it is within larger, traditional ancestral territory. The UDWG claims development of the site would be damaging to the tribe and the environment because of the likely increase in oil-related violence between different armed factions in the politically unstable region. It says Occidental's existing pipeline has been attacked more than 600 times in the last 12 years leading to 2.1m barrels of crude oil spilling into the soil and rivers, and that U'wa members and humanitarian workers have been killed or injured in the cross-fire. Occidental said earlier this month that it planned to start building roads to the test site at the end of January and would sink the first test well at the site in May. Ken Hufmann, Occidental's vice-president of investor relations, refused to comment on Mr Gore's stock holding in the company or any political donations that it had made. He would say only: "We're moving ahead with plans to drill the well but I have no specific dates." © Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2000. .

[CTRL] WHAT IS ORGONE ENERGY?
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- --- WHAT IS ORGONE ENERGY? by Charles R. Kelley, Ph.D. Reprinted from The Creative Process Vol. II Nos. 23 September 1962, pp.58-79 Copyright © 1962 Charles R. Kelley KELLEY/RADIX 13715 SE 36th Street Vancouver, WA 98683-7770, USA Tel Fax: 360/896-4004; E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- WHAT IS ORGONE ENERGY? 1 Charles R. Kelley Franz Anton Mesmer called it animal magnetism; Charles von Reichenbach called it odyle. To Henri Bergson it was the elan vital, the "vital force;" while to Hans Driesch it was the entelechy. Sigmund Freud observed its functioning in human emotions and termed it libido. William MacDougall, the great British- American psychologist of a generation ago, labeled it hormic energy. Dozens, if not hundreds, of lesser- known scientists have recognized its presence and have given it a name to characterize its special properties. Among the 20th-century proponents of the concept are, for example, Doctors Charles Littlefield and his vital magnetism and George Starr White and his cosmo-electric energy. Mechanistic science in the 17th through 19th centuries embraced many of its essential qualities in the concept of the ether, while mystical human beings have embraced other essential qualities of it in the concept of god. Orgone energy is Wilhelm Reich's name for the substratum from which all nature is created. The best definition this author can provide for it is this: Orgone energy is the creative force in nature. This article will discuss briefly the history of the discovery of orgone energy by Reich and will describe its properties. It will then summarize the evidence for and against the concept and, finally, will undertake to explain why it is that the concept meets such great resistance. -- 1 From a public lecture by the author on May 9, 1962, at the Hewitt Auditorium, Cooper Union, New York City. The lecture was the first of a series of six lectures entitled An Introduction to Orgonomy, which were sponsored by the Interscience Research Institute. Reich's Discovery of Orgone Energy Orgone energy was originally discovered by Wilhelm Reich in his psychiatric work. As a psychoanalyst and student of Freud, Reich's point of departure was, quite naturally, Freud's concept of "libido." "Libido" is life energy, desire, the source of human striving. Reich developed the libido concept, concentrating on its physical expression and simultaneous psychological content, until he was able to show the relation of bodily attitude and emotion. This he described in CHARACTER ANALYSIS, a book which went further than any work in history in solving the mystery of the relation of mind and body. In this great book Reich also described the mass pathology of the animal man, This pathology consists of a chronic rigidity of the musculature which blocks the movement of energy underlying emotion and hence blocks the emotion, thus providing the psychic or emotional underpinning of mankind's universal sickness. Reich's initial work on orgone energy was done, then, in depth psychology. From this it spread, quite naturally, into sociology and political science, for Reich saw quite clearly that the sickness of man was socially or culturally transmitted. His books, THE MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM, THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION and PEOPLE IN TROUBLE deal with this enlargement of his depth psychological discoveries to the social and political scene. It was natural for a mind like Reich's to generalize and deepen his understanding of libidinal energy, and as he did his medical work expanded beyond the field of psychiatry into more general areas of medicine and biology. The concept of libidinal energy developed into the more concrete concept of "bioelectricity," which soon proved not to be electricity and in time was renamed "orgone energy." Books dealing with this phase of Reich's discoveries are THE FUNCTION OF THE ORGASM and THE CANCER BIOPATHY.

[CTRL] EWAR:Pt Magu-Alaska Air 261 connection
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- This is a researched update of the Pt Magu-Alaska Air 261 connection. It raises many questions, answers some. Alfred == NewsHawk® Inc. Agencies of the U. S. Government, in particular those agencies which administer, operate and staff the Navy's China Lake Weapons Testing Center and Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station/Pacific Missile Test Center, are directly responsible for murdering all 88 people who perished in the crash of Alaska Airlines Fl. 261. (The locations, though separated by over a hundred miles, function literally as one single operational unit, as HARD documentation proves incontestably--a operations link facilitated by massive underground tunnels linking the subterranean portions of these two Navy bases.) There can be NO doubt of the responsibility of the China Lake/Pt. Mugu operators for the crash and the 88 murders. Why do we state this? Well firstly, the most PLAUSIBLE scenario about the crash is that the plane was struck by either a more conventional explosive/ballistic missile device or an electromagnetic weapon of some kind from Pt. Mugu. This could have been either an INTENTIONAL or an "accidental" strike; though given the highly advanced state of technology an "accidental" strike seems virtually impossible. However, there is also a SMALL chance that onboard sabotage of some kind initiated the craft's handling and maneuverability problems. Now, to continue: Anthony Hilder of the Free World Alliance and myself have been in contact with a representative of Alaska Air. As a result we have now CONFIRMED that not only were there NO potentially catastrophic mechanical problems with the aircraft prior to the crash, the actions being attributed to pilots Ted Thompson and Bill Tansky-- you know, the OUTRAGEOUSLY ABSURD contentions made by lying sacks of filth like Jim Hall and the rest of the federal government's legions of front-men and apologists, to the effect that the pilots were going to turn their barely controllable plane "around" and fly it back to L.A. when they could have landed at Pt. Mugu within about TWO MINUTES--are simply, totally and absolutely INCONCEIVABLE and cannot POSSIBLY be correct. Of course, this entire matter has NOW become the subject of lawsuits filed on behalf of victims' families--who, understandably, WANT TO KNOW THE SAME THING: WHY did the pilots--"SUPPOSEDLY", according to those KNOWN purveyors of pure truth in the federal government--bypass a number of possible landing sites, in PARTICULAR Pt. Mugu Naval Air station only 2-3 MINUTES away to their right, and instead supposedly turn the plane around and head back to LAX, roughly 45 or more miles away? WHY, WHY and WHY again!? Well, people at Alaska Air want to know, too. During our conversations with the airline representative it was conveyed to us that MANY people in this company are extremely troubled and distressed by what the federal government is trying to pretend happened to the plane, and realize that the wretched, miserable tapestry of lies and disinformation cannot POSSIBLY be the truth. (Shades of the web of PROVEN lies spewed by NTSB garbage-mouths about supposedly "suicidal" copilot Gameel Batouty of EgyptAir's Fl. 990. Remember THAT ONE?!) However, top-level officials at Alaska Air have suddenly become notably un-forthcoming about the entire matter towards other company personnel who've realized that actions being attributed to Fl. 261's pilots are literally impossible to rationally comprehend and accept. In fact, information provided to Hilder and NewsHawk indicates STRONGLY that severe pressure is being brought to bear upon upper-level officials at Alaska Air by various and sundry fed spooks, goons, shadow-men and spin-doctors. There are clear indications that company higher-ups are being threatened with "corporate death"--with having their business completely sabotaged, devastated, decimated and annihilated through implementation of any of a number of different tactics if they don't shut up and play along with the fed cover-up. Indeed, this must explain all those additional stabilizer/jackscrew "problems" which so mysteriously and CONVENIENTLY began plaguing Alaska Air and OTHER airlines within a DAY of the Fl. 261 crash. It's a "message" from the feds that Alaska Air or any other airline can be quite quickly put out of business if need be. In fact, whatever "message" has been relayed to Alaska Air higher-ups has undoubtedly been sent to corresponding parties at other major airlines too. (Alaska Air may have further upset feds by sending their own "message" in replacing #261 as a designation for their Seattle-San Francisco-Puerto Vallarta flight with #289--the SAME NUMBER used on navigational/aeronautical charts to designate Pt. Mugu's "Warning Area W-289".) We've also been informed that Alaska Air's mechanics are literally UNANIMOUS in their opinion that any possible problems with the horizontal stabilizer mechanism

[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: February 20, 2000
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! CONGRESS ACTION: February 20, 2000 = POLITICS OF REFORM: Election year politics can be strange indeed. Especially when the Executive is a shameless partisan, more concerned with building a legacy that will befog his record of impeachment and as the first president ever to be fined by a federal judge for obstruction of justice; and when the Legislature of the opposite party is afraid of its own shadow, hoping that if it doesn't rock the boat nobody will notice and it can retain its grasp on power. Expect the usual months of wrangling between Congress and the President over the latest Clinton budget, which proposes to spend $1.84 trillion (with precious few tax cuts), and includes plums for every special interest group under the sun including, not inconsequentially, special spending of taxpayer money to help boost the election prospects for would-be president Gore and would-be Senator Hillary (proving once again the foolishness of McCain-style campaign finance reform). A National Taxpayer's Union analysis concluded that Clinton proposed adding $126 billion in over 100 new or expanded programs during the course of his 89 minute State of the Union speech, over $1.4 billion every minute (the Bureau of Engraving can only print about $1 billion a minute). As with any election year budget, much of what was proposed was aimed less at serious legislation than at creating issues over which the candidates can argue. Republicans have already reprised the democrats' refrain whenever Reagan sent one of his budgets to Congress, and have declared Clinton's last budget "dead on arrival". Devotees of limited government that complies with the Constitution -- a dying breed -- can only hope that this is more than just empty election-year rhetoric from Congress. But the arcane fracas over the budget shouldn't obscure other issues that could be even more important in this last Year of Bill. As reported two weeks ago, Senator James Inhofe put a hold on all of Clinton's future judicial nominees because of the president's abuse of his recess appointment power. Last week, Majority Leader Trent Lott undercut Inhofe's plans, by allowing a Senate vote on the confirmation of two Clinton nominees in exchange for Clinton's agreement to appoint a republican nominee to the Federal Election Commission. Filling FEC posts is usually a routine matter, 3 appointees are nominated by each party and presidents usually defer to congressional recommendations. But this particular republican nominee, Bradley Smith, has been a lightening rod for a hot election-year issue, campaign finance reform, ever since he was nominated a year ago by the chief opponent to the McCain-Feingold "reform", Senator Mitch McConnell. Smith believes that the best reform is repeal of contribution limits, along with full disclosure of contributions. Naturally, this idea has the so-called "good government" types appalled. Common Cause president and former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger promised a fight against Smith's confirmation, whining that Clinton has ".caved in to an increasingly extreme faction.who actually believe that big money in politics should be increased, rather than reduced." But so what? Why isn't that also called "reform"? Why is an assault on the First Amendment the only thing called "reform" these days? After all, to "reform" means to improve. Reducing individual contributions would only increase the media's already obscene influence over politics, and that is certainly no improvement. Why does the media think that they are the only ones protected by the First Amendment? The dream of the big government reform types is, eventually, complete taxpayer financing of election campaigns. For decades, taxpayers have had the option of choosing publicly financed campaigns, by checking off the box on their income tax returns that diverts some of their tax payments to the FEC for that purpose. At its highest in 1978, only 29% of taxpayers checked the box. By 1996, that number had fallen to a mere 13% -- meaning that more than 7 out of every 10 taxpayers do not want taxpayer financed election campaigns. So what do the so-called "good government" types want to implement? Taxpayer financed election campaigns. No longer would you have the choice of deciding which candidate to support, government will take your money in taxes and some bureaucrat will make that decision for you. Leave it to democrats and other leftists to pick the one "solution" that provides a maximum of government coercion and a minimum of free choice. The net result of the Clinton-Lott deal is that Clinton gets to portray himself as reasonable and "bipartisan" by nominating a GOP choice who will be only one vote among six; who has only a six year term in office; who, presumably, will feel obligated to follow the existing law,

Burma is one of the leading producers of opium / heroin, and is moving into
production of many other drugs. Burma is controlled by a military "junta"
(SLORC) which (like the U.S. most other countries) is "officially
anti-drug" (spurious "War on drugs") while ACTUALLY engaged in Hundreds of
BILLIONS of dollars annually in drug-trade.
Predictably, Klinton and his "Just-US" Department are using political
subterfuge in coming down on the side of international DRUG DEALING,
supporting a repressive military dictatorship ("junta") which has been in
place since 1962 (!) and is keeping the legally elected head of Burma
government under house arrest, and at the same time striking a blow against
individual, municipal, and state's rights in the incessant quest for
"globalisation" - which can be briefly translated into Corporate Dominance.

WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (IPS) - In a major boost for the forces of economic
globalisation, US President Bill Clinton has decided to back multinational
corporations in a key court challenge to a Massachusetts law designed to
promote democracy in Burma.
In a brief quietly filed with the Supreme Court Tuesday, Clinton's Justice
Department charged that cities and states which make it more difficult for
companies doing business in repressive countries to win procurement
contracts "impermissibly intrude into the national government's exclusive
authority over foreign affairs."
Joining a coalition of some 600 major multinational corporations, the
European Union (EU) and Japan, the administration asked the Supreme Court,
which will hear oral arguments on the case March 22, to declare the
Massachusetts law unconstitutional. A final judgment by the nine-member
court is expected in June.
The case, called "Natsios versus the National Foreign Trade Council
(NFTC)," has major implications for grassroots human rights and other US
activist groups, which over the past 25 years have used state and local
"selective-purchasing" laws to influence the behaviour of multi-national
corporations abroad.
Selective-purchasing laws are designed to force companies to choose
between continuing to do business with repressive foreign governments and
bidding on often-lucrative state or local government contracts. The
Massachusetts law, for example, adds 10 percent to any bid by a target
companies - foreign and domestic - on a state procurement contract.
Such laws were used most successfully during the late 1970s and 1980s to
force scores of US multinationals - including such giants as Coca-Cola,
IBM, and General Motors - to withdraw from South Africa because of
apartheid. The resulting divestment, according to most experts, played a
crucial role in bringing about majority rule.
Similar laws in New York, California, Pennsylvania and other states and
cities targeting Swiss banks and insurance companies which had failed to
adequately account to Nazi Holocaust victims and their families helped
prompt a settlement of outstanding claims in 1998.
Some two dozen states and cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco - which each year put hundreds of millions of dollars in
contracts up for bids - have enacted selective-purchasing laws against
companies doing business in Burma, where a military junta has repressed
the democratic opposition led by Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Multinationals naturally oppose these initiatives because they curb their
freedom to do business where they like. But until now, they were reluctant
to challenge the laws in court due to the negative publicity that could
result from a company claiming a right to do business with abusive
governments.
In 1998, however, the NFTC filed a case in federal court challenging the
1996 Massachusetts law on the grounds that it violated US constitutional
provisions which gave the federal government the power to regulate foreign
commerce and foreign policy. In an unprecedented step, the EU and Japan
filed amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs on the NFTC's behalf.
At the same time, Brussels and Tokyo also filed their own challenges to
the law with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva. They

Attached is an important if inadvertant disclosure by "one of them." Is this
guy part of an "alien fifth column" inside the American military? Or is he
just helping to keep the lid on abuses by rogue military and intelligence
elements, aided by some powerful philanthropists and criminal defense
contractors so deeply involved in "UFOs" and "mind control?" It's not up to
us to figure that out. All we have are "Just the facts."
He is an important link to military/government involvement with "UFOs" some
of the underlying "mind influence" and illegal public political
manipulation inherent in the "UFOs are E.T." gambits, advocated by
generations of disinformation agents in this field. Whatever is "really"
going on in terms of supposed contacts with "others" not human, what these
guys are doing has NOTHING to do with anything like that!
The signer of this forwarded item bills himself as "Official Military
Advisor" to C-SETI (Stephen Greer's group to make "contact" and establish
"diplomatic ties" with purported E.T.s visiting Earth). He is Commander Will
Miller, United States Navy Reserve. Cdr. Miller first made a contact with Dr.
Greer and his C-SETI group in part through Commander C. B. "Scott" Jones, in
1993. I was present when Cdr. Miller first visited our Human Potential
Foundation's offices in Falls Church, VA, when we were "sole-source" funded
by Laurance S. Rockefeller and in the throes of supporting Rockefeller's
purported "UFO Disclosure Initiative" to the Clinton White House, (which has
been discussed length variously online and off). As HPF's Director of Project
Development I met privately with Cdr. Miller. Later, Miller met with Dr.
Jones. My meeting consisted mostly of pleasantries; my role was to
"background" him in what HPF was doing publicly, as I'd been recruited to
help ("unwittingly" Jones had believed) craft the non-profit charitable
"cover" of activities for what Jones and his benefactors were actually up to.
But that's another story, a la "the Trojan Horse."

We're assigned to chasing the cosmic pond-scum agents of the fascist Council
of Nine, who for at least a century of Earth's time have been "subliminally"
influencing planetary politics and governance policies, and who most lately
rode in on "Noetics Astronaut" Edgar Mitchell, during his Moon visit.
Associated with them are other "alien intelligences," some of whom have
violated the Prime Directive and associated themselves with powerful, greedy
Earthlings who are selling out their fellow species-mates in hopes of keeping
their power after conquest. If that makes you happy then let's go with that.
Whatever it takes for you to THINK FOR YOURSELVES is OK!

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- .. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.htmlFrom: Weldon Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Gun Owners Bush Over McCain Date: Saturday, February 12, 2000 10:33 AM Gun Owners Bush Over McCain Now it's just Bush vs. McCain Feb. 9 Neal Knox Report -- After a third-place finish in yesterday's Delaware contest, Steve Forbes is withdrawing from the Republican Presidential contest. With pro-gun stalwart Alan Keyes hanging by a thread, the GOP nomination is now a two-man race. George W. Bush is rated a B by the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association, while their own senator, John McCain is rated a C-minus. I concur with those ratings. Bush has taken a lot of heat from the press over his signing the Texas concealed carry licensing law, improvements to that law, and signing the law prohibiting Texas cities from suing gunmakers for acts by criminals. Though a lot of gunowners aren't fond of him (perhaps remembering the betrayal by his father), his support for gun show background checks and other gun bills are basically in line with NRA's positions. McCain is generally described by the media as "opposed to gun control" but when the Senate was considering the Juvenile Justice bill last May it was McCain who threatened Senate gun rights leaders with leading four other Senators to vote for the original Lautenberg gun show bill if they failed to bring up a mandatory gun show background check bill. The Republicans did, throwing their party into disarray and causing eventual passage of a slightly softer version of Lautenberg's gun show bill. McCain also was chief co-sponsor of a "campaign finance reform" bill that would have destroyed the ability of NRA and other pro-gun groups to inform gunowners of a candidate's gun record during the last two months of a campaign. He thanked now-NRA Vice President Sandra Froman and me for what NRA accomplished in the 1994 Arizona elections. "Unlike most politicians, I will never forget." Yet his bill would have prevented NRA from doing that which so pleased him. Since my old friend Alan Keyes has shown no ability to win any primary, if I were voting in the South Carolina primary it would be against McCain -- which means for George W. Bush. To paraphrase that great lawman Bill Jordan, in gunfights and politics there are no second place winners. * Letter from Bush Campaign signed by Jeff Young the legislator who sponsored concealed carry in South Carolina and others. As fellow sportsmen, we are writing to you about the Republican presidential primary on February 19th. We strongly support Governor George W. Bush and encourage you to do so as well. George Bush has demonstrated a strong commitment to sportsmen's issues. He has shown himself to be a leader in the fight to protect the Second Amendment and an advocate for wildlife, land preservation and conservation. As Governor of Texas, George Bush has proven himself to be a champion of the right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. In 1995, Governor Bush signed legislation allowing law-abiding Texans to carry concealed weapons after passing a background check and handgun training. While other Governors and municipal officials bowed to the pressure of gun-control advocates and the liberal media to sue the firearms industry, Governor Bush not only stood firm, he signed legislation prohibiting frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers. He sent a very clear message that gun manufacturers and law-abiding citizens are not responsible for crime. Criminals are! Governor Bush believes that the criminals who use a gun in the commission of a crime should be severely punished. That's why he helped launch "Texas Exile," an initiative aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals through the enforcement of existing Texas laws. Convicted criminals caught committing a crime with a gun are prosecuted under a statute which provides for a mandatory five-year sentence in a federal prison. Governor Bush opposed the Clinton-Gore Administration's push for government mandated registration of private firearms and he would reverse the Clinton-Gore manipulation of the Brady law to maintain a registry of gun owners. Make no mistake: As president, George W. Bush will do everything in his power to ensure that criminals and children do not have access to handguns. At the same time, his commitment to our Second Amendment rights, our heritage and our freedom is unwavering. He will never bow to the knee-jerk hysteria that the anti-gun lobby and its forces in the media periodically create. It's no accident that the Republicans who know John McCain best -- his colleagues in the United States Senate -- overwhelmingly back Governor Bush.
[CTRL] Media/Clinton Hype Hits Home
snip...HACKER HYSTERIAWhile the White House and the media were going into full panic alert over what they called "denial of service attacks," i.e. a few hours interruption in the business of a few big cyber-corporations, the virus fighters at the McAfee company took things more in stride. In a message to subscribers, theyexplained how the attacks were accomplished using computers of the unsuspecting:"A hacker breaks into someone else's computer, and places a special program (called a "Zombie") on that computer. The hacker activates the Zombie program, which begins sending data to the computers of one or more major Web sites. These "packets" of data mimic the signals sent by a legitimate user requesting information from the Web site. The Zombie program sends out somany data packets so quickly that the Web site servers are overloaded, and are unable to respond to requests from legitimate users. At no time during this kind of attack does the hacker actually break into the data stored on the Web site's computers. Therefore, there is very little danger that any personal users' information is at risk of being stolen. The reason the hacker breaks into a third party's computer ~~ is to use it as a launching pad for their attack. If not for the fear of getting caught, they could just as well launch their attack from their own computer. The Zombie program, by itself, does no damage to its host computer.Unlike the political elite, however, McAfee did not call for new repressive legislation, retrofitting the Internet, or beefing up the police. Instead, pointing out that the hackers mainly used computers that have "always-on" connections such as DSL or cable modems, McAffee proposed that "the simplestpreventive measure in this case is to turn off the computer when not in use."These folks had better stick to computers.
