 Scientists Finish Chromosome Maps

 .c The Associated Press

  By JESSIE SEYFER

 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - In their race to blueprint the human genome,
government-sponsored scientists said they have finished ``rough draft'' maps
of three complete chromosomes.

 The announcement Thursday by the Walnut Creek-based Joint Genome Institute
made it the first of five publicly funded labs - collectively known as the
Human Genome Project - to finish its part of the mapping mission.

 ``Up until now, we've been struggling in the dark, and now we are in the
domain of light,'' said Elbert Branscomb, the institute's chief scientist.

 The California lab said it has mapped chromosomes 5, 16 and 19, which make
up roughly 11 percent of the human genome and contain vital information about
kidney disease, various cancers, hypertension and diabetes.

 ``Three chapters in the reference book of human life are nearly complete,''
said Department of Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. ``This is big stuff and
I'm really proud of these guys.''

 The 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human genome are made up of coiled
strands of DNA. When stretched out, the elegant DNA molecules look like
ladders whose rungs are chemical bonds, known as base pairs. Different
arrangements of base pairs make up the code for 100,000 known human genes.

 The genes, in turn, form a blueprint for the assembly of proteins that guide
the form and function of cells.

 Researchers believe that by identifying each gene and determining its
effect, medical science will find new ways to treat or prevent birth defects
and illnesses.

 Jasper Rine, a professor of genetics at the University of California,
Berkeley, said the importance of Thursday's announcement could not be
overstated.

 ``The human genome sequence, even a rough draft, is a very important
beginning to understanding the most important historical document of
humanity,'' he said. ``Genome sequences are really a marvelous gift to all
basic sciences.''

 The news came a week after the private company Celera Genomics, of
Rockville, Md., announced it had already accomplished the same goal, also in
a rough form.

 The two sides are in a fierce battle to complete the project first. In
contrast to Celera, the federal project is releasing to the public the
genetic sequences as they are identified.

 While the government maps produced so far are only rough estimates of exact
gene sequences, scientists said they are still immensely useful tools.

We are both in the same boat.  It seems any time any of us choose to build a united 
platform
that builds a common ground for all people, we are confronted with those who support 
the New
World Order by their blind regurgitation of the rhetoric put out by the New World Order
media in order to divide and conquer.

I disagree with Buchanan on many issues and although I have been a leftist, Buchanan I
recognize as a true hero of our time.

He has dared to speak freely and truthfully on issues that the press had decided to 
lead the
masses elsewhere on.  For not following the lead of the monsters that control the 
media,
Buchanan has been unjustly demonized.  He is practically treated as if he were a 
criminal by
many for the crime of speaking his opinion honestly and thoughtfully.

Indeed, those who fail to appreciate Buchanan either are incapable of thinking or have
bought into the media hype to condemn all those who do not spew the New World Order 
party
line as demons.

I truly praise your work to resist the New World Order by building a common cause for 
all
people.  I offer thanks and wish to apologise for the mindless hypocritical ninnies 
who have
bought into the demonization of Pat Buchanan and use that as a straw man to attack you
failing to listen to the substance of what you have to say.

Keep up the good work and don't let the idiots get you down.

 Life and Libertarians:
 Beyond Left and Right
 By Alexander Cockburn
 I got an invitation to speak a couple of months ago from an outfit called
 antiwar.com, which is run by a young fellow called Justin Raimundo.
 "Antiwar.com is having its second annual national conference March 24  25, and
 we'd like you to be the luncheon speaker," Raimundo wrote. "The conference will
 be held at the Villa Hotel, in San Mateo (near the airport). The theme of the
 conference is 'Beyond Left  Right: The New Face of the Antiwar Movement.'
 We have invited a number of speakers spanning the political spectrum. Confirmed
 so far: Patrick J. Buchanan, Tom Fleming (of Chronicles magazine), Justin
 Raimondo (Antiwar.com), Kathy Kelly (Iraq Aid), Alan Bock (Orange County
 Register), Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), representatives of the Serbian Unity
 Congress, and a host of others."
 Raimundo seasoned his invite with a burnt offering, in the form of flattery, always
 pleasing to the nostrils:
 "All of us here at Antiwar.com are big fans of your writing: we met, once, at a
 meeting during the Kosovo war where you bravely took up the fight for the united
 front left-right alliance against imperialist war. We can promise you a small
 honorarium, a lunch, free admission to all conference events -- and a good time."
 As a seasoned analyst of such communications, my eye of course fell sadly upon
 the words "small honorarium"  ­ a phrase that in my case usually means
 somewhere between $l50 and $350. I'd already noted that even though our task
 was to transcend the tired categories of left and right, I was the only leftist
 mentioned, with the possible exception of Kathy Kelly, from that splendid
 organization, Voices in the Wilderness, which campaigns to lift the UN sanctions
 on Iraq.
 Being a libertarian Justin had boldly added the prospect of a "good time". Leftist
 invitations rarely admit this possibility in formal political communications, even
 in the distant days when the left supposedly had a lock on drugs and sex.
 I said I'd be happy to join in such an enterprise, and in due course got some angry
 e-mails from lefties who seem to feel that any contiguity with Buchanan is a
 crime, even if the subject was gardening and Dutch tulipomania in the seventeenth
 century.
 "Dear Alexander Cockburn:
 I read with horror that you are speaking at an event (the
 Anti-War.com conference) where Pat Buchannan is the keynote speaker. How
 could you knowing that PB's policies are what could only be called fascist? I
 generally agree with your opinion on imperialism, and supported your view of
 Seattle. However speaking at an event which will amongst other things help to
 give Mr. Buchanan respectability, is unconscionable. I hope you will reconsider. If
 not, we will probably be able to greet each ohter, when you cross our picket line.

Gov't To Probe Ex-CIA Officer Case

By C. BRYSON HULL
.c The Associated Press

HOUSTON (AP) - A Justice Department investigation will be launched in the
1993 arms-dealing case involving former CIA officer Edwin P. Wilson,
government attorneys say.

The disclosure came Thursday in the department's response to a motion by
Wilson to hold 17 current and former CIA and Justice officials in contempt of
court for allegedly hiding evidence that would have helped his defense.

``The allegations of this case have been referred to (the Office of
Professional Responsibility), which will conduct a thorough investigation,''
a footnote near the end of the government's eight-page motion said.

Justice spokesman Myron Marlin said the department will not begin looking
into the matter until a court appeal by Wilson, 71, is settled.

Wilson, who was sentenced to 52 years in prison, is appealing his federal
conviction for illegally shipping 20 tons of plastic explosives to Libya from
Houston's Intercontinental Airport.

Wilson alleges prosecutors introduced into evidence a crucial affidavit by
then-CIA Executive Director Charles A. Briggs that they knew was false.

Now in a federal prison in Pennsylvania, Wilson contends the affidavit swore
he ``was neither asked or requested, directly or indirectly, to provide any
services, directly or indirectly, to the CIA,'' after his 1971 retirement,
except for one Libya-related assignment for which he was paid $1,000.

Among the nearly 800 pages of once-classified documents are papers showing
Wilson was asked to perform several dozen services for the CIA, including
acquiring an anti-tank weapon for an agency operation and helping relocate a
Laotian general who was a valuable CIA source.

The Justice Department on Thursday argued that no one intentionally misled
the judge and jury and that only someone who was in the courtroom could have
committed contempt. Of the 17, lead prosecutor Theodore Greenberg was the
only one in the courtroom during the trial, and nothing he did constituted
contempt, Justice Department lawyers said.

Wilson's attorney, David Adler, was skeptical that the OPR investigation will
lead to sanctions.

``If there's anything that the government is incapable of doing, it's
investigating itself. OPR's record of investigating abuses by the Justice
Department is abysmal,'' he said.

1st-Graders Accused of Murder Plot

LAKE STATION, Ind. (AP) - Three first-graders accused of plotting to kill a
classmate were overcome with remorse once they were confronted with the
gravity of the plan, their parents and counselors who evaluated them said
Thursday.

``She's not eating, she's not sleeping, she's a mess. All she's done is
cry,'' said the mother of one of the three girls at Virgil I. Bailey
Elementary School.

Police said the girls had plotted to kill a rival 7-year-old classmate
because they were jealous of her. They planned to shoot her, but they also
discussed killing her with a butcher knife or hanging her, Lake Station
police Lt. Rich Arnold said.

The three were suspended indefinitely while school officials await results of
psychological evaluations. No weapons were found in a search of the school,
but officials sent letters to parents of Bailey's students alerting them of
the plot.

Police Chief James Strine said investigators were taking the allegations
seriously, and juvenile authorities will review the case.

``You're looking at first-graders. Technically, they're still babies, but if
they shoot you you're just as dead,'' Strine said.

The three girls admitted their involvement in the plot after a parent alerted
school officials, said Lake Station Superintendent Charles Costa.

Principal Michelle Friesen-Carper and counselor Nona Mackey met Thursday with
students.

``We talked about making mistakes that we wished we hadn't,'' Friesen-Carper
told The Post-Tribune of Gary.

Germans Need Stasi File Software

BERLIN (AP) - After waiting more than a decade for the CIA to return East
German secret police files obtained after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989,
German officials said Thursday they lack the computer software needed to
analyze the information.

Officials believe the former Stasi files, said to contain some 320,000 names,
could expose many agents who operated in the West during the Cold War.

The CIA, which acquired the records under circumstances never officially
explained, agreed last year to return them, except for data that may
compromise U.S. sources. The first CD-ROM was delivered to Chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder's office last month.

But Interior Ministry spokesman Rainer Lingenthal said that the government
was still waiting for the United States to approve an export license for the
database software needed to evaluate the information properly.

The government also has to decide whether to purchase one or two licenses for
the software because it's not sure how many agencies will have access to the
data, he said.

Government spokesman Uwe-Karsten Heye said last week that the first CD-ROM
arrived at the chancellery on March 31, and that some 1,000 further discs
were expected to follow over the next 1 1/2 years.

Kohl Goes Before Parliament Panel

By PAUL GEITNER
.c The Associated Press

BERLIN (AP) - Germany's beleaguered conservatives emerged from a convention
this week with new leaders determined to put the party's financial scandal
behind them. But new questions that surfaced Thursday around the old guard
show how hard breaking free is going to be.

While ex-Chancellor Helmut Kohl denied new tabloid headlines suggesting his
government might have accepted kickbacks, the party's recently deposed
chairman went before a parliamentary committee to answer questions about
illegal donations.

Wolfgang Schaeuble, who took over the conservative party after Kohl's 1998
election defeat, was pressured into stepping down in February after being
implicated in the mounting scandal himself.

He was replaced as chairman Monday by Angela Merkel, who was one of the first
in the party to break with Kohl and is untouched by the charges of secret
bank accounts, money laundering and kickbacks.

In an oft-bitter farewell speech Monday, Schaeuble went after Kohl, his
former benefactor, for refusing to help the party put the affair to rest by
revealing the sources of some $1 million in illegal contributions Kohl has
admitted receiving in the 1990s.

``The law applies to everyone,'' he said.

But on Thursday, Schaeuble defended Kohl in front of the parliament's
investigative committee probing whether government decisions during Kohl's 16
years in power may have been bought.

Prosecutors also are investigating allegations that party officials accepted
$500,000 in alleged kickbacks from an industry lobbyist, Karlheinz Schreiber,
to secure a 1991 tank sale to Saudi Arabia.

Schaeuble, a former Cabinet minister under Kohl, said he knew of not a single
case where donations were made to influence federal agencies or officials.

Kohl repeated on Thursday that his government's approval of the sale was
based ``exclusively'' on foreign policy considerations in close consultation
with Germany's NATO partners at the time of the Gulf War.

Other interpretations ``are without any factual basis,'' he said. He was
responding to a report in Bild newspaper, which published a 1993 letter from
then-party treasurer Walther Liesler Kiep to Kohl in which Schreiber and the
tank deal are mentioned.

Schaeuble also faced questions Thursday about a $50,000 cash donation he says
he accepted in 1994 from Schreiber after a fund-raising event.

His version of how the donation was made has been contradicted by another
former treasurer, Brigitte Baumeister, and by Schreiber, who is fighting
extradition from Canada.

Schreiber was indicted last month in Germany on bribery and tax evasion
stemming from the 1991 tank sale. Baumeister was to testify Friday.

Kohl's lawyers were also considering seeking an injunction to prevent the
release of East German secret police files concerning the former chancellor.

Kohl has applied to see the files Stasi kept on him after newspaper reports
said they stretched back to 1975 and included taped telephone calls from his
official residence and conversations among his closest aides.

Some have speculated the files could help identify Kohl's secret donors, but
Volker Naumann, chairman of the investigative committee, has said his panel
will not use the Stasi material because it was collected illegally.

German law allows for publication of Stasi files dealing with historical
figures, with provisions to weed out details deemed personal.

Brazil Stocks Plunge

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- The largest stock exchange index in South America
plunged Thursday to its lowest level of the year amid concerns that a key
Supreme Court decision could dig a hole in Brazil's public coffers.

The Sao Paulo Stock Exchange's Bovespa Index dropped 5 percent to close at
15,500 points, the index's largest point loss and second-largest percentage
loss of the year. The biggest percentage fall was on Jan. 4, when it dropped
6.4 percent.

The court was expected to rule late Thursday whether the government must
compensate workers for alleged losses incurred from four failed economic
stabilization plans. The decision could cost the government $40 billion if it
loses.

But the ruling was delayed a month when one of the 11 court judges asked for
more time to analyze the information available. The three judges that had
already voted gave the government a partial defeat.

They said the government arbitrarily reduced workers' investments when
implementing the plans in 1989 and 1990.

According to the judges, the government failed to adjust workers' savings and
investments by 20 percent and 45 percent, respectively, those years.




[CTRL] Fwd: Gay Republicans Wary of Bush

2000-04-14 Thread Kris Millegan





Bush Meets With Gay Republicans

By GLEN JOHNSON
.c The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - George W. Bush met with a dozen gay Republicans Thursday
as he kept up his courting of support from outside his party's conservative
core. ``I'm a better person for the meeting,'' he declared.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee assured conservatives his social
views were intact, his opposition to ideas such as gay marriage unshaken by
the hourlong session at his campaign headquarters.

The gays he met with, selected by his campaign, were upbeat. ``The goal was
not to change his mind. It was to start a conversation,'' said Steve
Gunderson, a former Republican congressman from Wisconsin.

Bush has been portraying himself as a different kind of Republican - much as
Bill Clinton and Al Gore painted themselves as a new breed of Democrat in
1992. And in that light, there could be political gain in spotlighting the
meeting - even though gay voters generally support Democrats by margins of
2-to-1 or greater.

But there is danger, too, said David Rohde, a political science professor at
Michigan State University.

``You don't want to risk alienating your base vote, and that represents a
particular problem for Bush, because if Pat Buchanan is the Reform Party
nominee, then the Republican base vote has someplace else to go,'' Rohde
said.

Indeed, Bush was barely back at the Texas Governor's Mansion, where he was
crowning the state's new ``Bluebonnet Queen,'' when conservative Gary Bauer
warned that Bush was running the risk of driving conservatives to Buchanan.

The former presidential candidate told The Associated Press in an interview:
``I don't think it does broaden (the base) when you take that approach.
That's the approach that we tried in the last two presidential elections. We
end up shooting ourselves in the foot.''

Bauer also criticized one idea broached at the meeting, having a gay
Republican speak at this summer's Republican National Convention.

``I think it would be bizarre to pick somebody to speak at the convention
based on their sexual preference, because once you go down that road, why
don't you pick a transvestite?'' Bauer asked.

Gore spokesman Doug Hattaway was quick to pile on from another direction,
saying, ``Bush owes too much to anti-gay leaders like Pat Robertson and Jerry
Falwell to deliver anything for the gay and lesbian community.''

Bush aides dismissed a Buchanan challenge. They told reporters there were
none of the ``strategic underpinnings'' in place for a successful third-party
campaign, such as an issue not being addressed by the major party candidates
or an overwhelming personality running.

Advisers noted that Bush has edged ahead of Gore in many of the latest polls
taken since Bush and his Democratic rival, Vice President Gore, virtually
cinched their nominations on March 7.

The campaign sees that as proof the scars from Bush's rough primary campaign
have healed. In fact, Bush said he planned to meet May 9 in Pittsburgh with
his chief rival for the nomination, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Bush is hoping for a McCain endorsement, ``but I don't know if it will happen
as a result of the meeting,'' he said.

During a news conference after the get-together with the gays, Bush also:

Criticized the Clinton administration for its handling of the Elian Gonzalez
case. He said the administration had succumbed to publicity and pressure from
Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Responded to criticism from Gore that Bush's health record in Texas and his
recently announced health care plan amounted to ``political malpractice.''
Bush said, ``This is a good plan and yet, rather debating merits, the way
this man wants to run his campaign is to say anything.''

The gay meeting stemmed from criticism Bush received during the primary
campaign, when he refused to meet with the gay Log Cabin Republicans group.
He later clarified that he was opposed to meeting with the group's leaders,
who supported McCain.

Bush has been trying to moderate his conservative image with proposals on
education, the environment and health care for the poor. And the campaign
selected a group of gay leaders in part to help put a human face on Bush's
campaign pledge to be a ``compassionate conservative.''

Among those attending were David Catania, a member of the Washington, D.C.,
City Council, Gunderson and the leaders of several Log Cabin chapters.

The participants said they told Bush their personal stories and talked about
employment problems, AIDS funding and issues such as the atmospherics of the
party convention.

Bush emerged touched but unchanged in his core beliefs, including his belief
that marriage is the union of a man and a woman.

``It's important for the next president to listen to people's real-life
stories,'' the governor said. ``These are people from our neighborhoods,
people with whom all of us went to school. ... I appreciate them sharing
their stories with me. I'm mindful that we're all God's children.''


[CTRL] Fwd: Israel's Assets from the Holocaust

2000-04-14 Thread Kris Millegan





 "Subjected to political pressure, Israel has published a list of 1,000
bank accounts from the Holocaust era in an effort --SIXTY YEARS LATER--  to
help survivors and their heirs recover assets, and promised to publish
another 14,000 accounts, plus OTHER assets of Holocaust victims still being
held by the government ..."


Writer: Israel Has WWII Assets

By JACK KATZENELL
.c The Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel, which has criticized Switzerland and other countries
for failing to return assets of Jews who perished in the Holocaust, also
failed to return wartime assets, a researcher said Thursday.

Until this year, Israel made no effort to make the existence of property it
held publicly known or find the owners or their heirs, said Yossi Katz, who
has just published a book on the subject.

However, unlike some European banks and other financial institutions, Israel
never tried to conceal the existence of the assets nor refused to return them
if a claimant had proof of ownership, Katz, a professor of geography and
history at Tel Aviv's Bar-Ilan University said.

In his 350-page book, ``Forgotten Property,'' Katz writes that land, houses,
and other assets in what was then British Mandatory Palestine were purchased
by European Jews, many of whom later died in the Holocaust.

Although no definitive assessment of the assets exists, the documents he
compiled show they were substantial and included shares, securities, bank
deposits and insurance policies, as well as buildings, urban land and
agricultural land, Katz told The Associated Press.

``I never imagined the scale of the property which the documents would
reveal,'' he said. ``Some of the land is in the center of (the Tel Aviv
suburbs of) Bat Yam or Holon, and its value is astronomical.''

Some of the real estate is held to this day by the government Custodian of
Abandoned Property, some by a semiofficial body called the Jewish National
Fund and some by banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions.

According to the 1971 Government Year Book, the finance ministry at the time
empowered the Custodian to sell some of the real estate, but the present
custodian said recently he does not know if any was sold, or if so, how much.

Diaspora Affairs Minister Michael Melchior said that Israel must restore the
property to its rightful owners but rejected comparing Israel's record with
that of European countries who ``plundered the Jews and afterwards sent them
to the concentration camps.''

Israel has helped lead legal action against European banks, insurance
companies and other institutions to force them to restore unclaimed wartime
accounts and policies or property plundered by the Nazis to Holocaust
survivors and their heirs.

At Katz' prodding, a parliamentary committee has been set up to study the
problem and submit recommendations to the government. In addition, Israel
published a list in January of 1,000 unclaimed bank accounts from the
Holocaust era in an effort to help survivors and their heirs recover assets,
and promised to publish another 14,000 accounts and other government-held
assets next year.

The Israel Museum also recently restored a painting that it had determined
was stolen to its rightful owner.

Katz said those measures were not enough.

He called for an independent commission to conduct detailed research aimed at
locating all the property and establishing who owns it.

The government, he said, should also make an active effort to find the owners
or their heirs. In cases where that proves impossible, Katz called for
legislation empowering the commission to seize the assets and use them for
the benefit of Holocaust survivors or for Holocaust research.




[CTRL] Fwd: UK: From Gun Control to Mind Control?

2000-04-14 Thread Kris Millegan





 "British lawmakers propose tightening the screening process for issuing

owners in Britain.

 Rhodes Scholar Bill Clinton is of course a great admirer of how the
British do things, and has praised British gun control measures as a model to
be emulated by the US ...


More British Gun Rules Backed

LONDON (AP) - A cross-party committee of lawmakers recommended Thursday that
Britain further tighten its gun laws to make airguns subject to the same
restrictions as other weapons and prohibit children under 14 from handling
all firearms.

Britain's pro-gun lobby immediately attacked the proposals by the Home
Affairs Select Committee, contending they would restrict legitimate gun
owners but not criminals.

Home Office minister Charles Clarke called the lawmakers' report ``detailed
and wide-ranging'' and promised the Labor Party government would ``make a
full response in due course.''

Britain has some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Handguns were banned
after a gunman shot and killed 16 kindergarten children and their teacher in
Dunblane, Scotland, in 1996.

Under the lawmakers' proposals, all guns capable of killing would be subject
to the same restrictions. Airguns - which use compressed air to fire
projectiles - would be licensed, with owners having to prove they are fit to
own a gun, have a safe place to store it and good reasons for keeping it.

An estimated 4 million airguns are in circulation around Britain, accounting
for 70 percent of the firearms held legally, the report said.

Figures for 1998-99 showed that nearly two-thirds of all recorded firearms
offenses were linked to air weapons, according to the report. Most of those
offenses involved criminal damage, but nearly 2,000 also involved injuries to
people, it said.

The lawmakers also recommended tightening the screening process for gun
licenses, and giving police the power to revoke a license if authorities
feared someone had become unstable. And they called on the government to set
up a computer database with details of all firearms owners in Britain.

They also said a minimum age should be set for gun use, but remained
undecided over whether the age should be 12 or 14.

Committee chairman Robin Corbett said the lawmakers had set out to simplify
the legislation and make it more consistent. He said they did not want to
threaten law-abiding gun owners.

``That is not our intention and we do not think that will happen,'' Corbett
said.

But John Hoare, secretary of the National Small Bore Rifle Association, said
the proposed regulations will hit ``those who are law-abiding and cause no
mischief, damage or injury to anyone.''

``They will not affect criminals,'' he said.

The recommendations also failed to please the antigun lobby. The Gun Control
Network criticized the report as not going far enough, saying it would ``do
little to discourage future generations of shooters.''

Housing in California Shoreline OKd

MALIBU, Calif. (A) - A property deal struck between the state and three
residents of this well-heeled Southern California enclave has caused a wave
of discontent among neighbors.

The Coastal Commission on Wednesday unanimously voted to allow the wife of
Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and two wealthy friends put up homes that
will block the ocean views along 300 feet of beachfront.

In exchange, the partners will buy a nearby 80-foot stretch of beach and
donate it to the Coastal Conservancy for public use.

``The total package we're getting here is very positive from the public
perspective,'' Coastal Commission Chairwoman Sara Wan said.

But the proposal infuriated other well-to-do homeowners, who accused
commissioners of being unfair.

``The state of California has charged you with the responsibility for looking
out for the interests of all the citizens of this state, not just the
interests of three exceedingly rich and very powerful people trying to rush
their applications through,'' said Jeff Greene, a developer whose own plans
to buy the 80-foot stretch of beach fell through.

At the commission hearing, residents argued that the proposed public beach
site lacks parking and is on a dangerous curve of the highway.

The commission will conduct a study of safety issues in the next few weeks
and determine how to resolve them, a spokesperson said.

 "With the Internet erasing geographical borders for investors,
corporations are searching the world for the cheapest labor-- ..."


BUSINESS WEEK ONLINE
April 14, 2000

STREET WISE by Margaret Popper


Globalization Threatens Workers, Thrills Investors
It's creating new opportunities, which will only get better as U.S-style
accounting standards spread worldwide

The global economy may be the bane of the average American factory worker,
but for the average American investor, it's great. While U.S. companies are
shopping for cheap labor move jobs overseas (see BW 4/24/00, Cover Story,
"Backlash"), foreign companies looking for (comparatively) cheap capital
bring investment opportunities to the U.S. In 1990, 434 foreign companies had
registered with the U.S. Securities  Exchange Commission (SEC) to sell
securities or have their securities sold in the U.S. By 1995, that number had
hit 744, and by the end of last year 1,200 foreign companies had registered
with the SEC.

U.S. investors seem thrilled by the chance to buy into these companies. At
the end of 1998, net assets in U.S. mutual funds that invested in Japanese
equities totaled $3.1 billion. Ten months later, that total had reached $8.25
billion. "That's partly due to appreciation," concedes Hap Bryant, an analyst
at Morningstar, the mutual-fund research firm. "But it's mostly due to
increased interest."

With technology rolling out globally, the Internet erasing borders, and
corporations searching the world for the cheapest labor or the ripest
markets, it's only logical that the capital markets should follow suit. And
nowadays, the biggest barriers to truly global capital markets are tumbling
with the finality of the Berlin Wall.

MORE CHOICE, LESS RISK. Securities regulators everywhere are working in
concert to create accounting and disclosure standards that will be
understandable across borders. Public markets such as Germany's Neuer Markt
and France's Nouveau Marché are springing up to increase the total amount of
publicly traded capital. And an increasing number of managers around the
globe have to boost shareholder value or face the specter of hostile
takeovers, á la Mannesmann/Vodafone. For investors, this increasing
transparency across markets means more choice, more liquidity, less risk.

For most of modern history, it has been impossible for investors to compare
the performance of companies in different countries because they used
different accounting methods. Indeed, Europeans managed to hold out against
U.S. accounting rules far longer than they did against McDonald's. But now it
looks like U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (known as GAAP) will
become the latest form of American cultural imperialism.  Already, some
companies listed on the Neuer Markt use GAAP to do their accounts.

For reasons of national pride, the countries within the European Union
haven't yet officially adopted GAAP as their new accounting standard -- that
would be giving in to the Anglo-Saxon invasion. But the International
Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCo), of which the U.S. SEC is the
largest and most influential member, has been working on creating an
alternative set of rules that could easily be reconciled to GAAP and would
meet cross-border registration and disclosure requirements. IOSCo's members
include nearly all of the world's securities commissions, including the key
players from Tokyo to London to New York.

INDEPENDENT. The thrust of IOSCo's efforts has been to strengthen the status
of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), a global version
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) -- the body that creates
GAAP rules in the U.S. Unlike the IASC, the FASB is an independent industry
association that can issue additions and changes to U.S. standard accounting
practices. The SEC has veto power over FASB rulings, but if it doesn't
exercise this power, what FASB says goes, in financial reporting circles.

The idea is that the FASB can't be held hostage to political pressure. So
far, the European Commission has opposed creating a global body with such
independence. But IOSCo isn't willing to accept the EC's stance. In December,
it sent back to the drawing board plans for restructuring the IASC because
those plans didn't give it political independence.

"In Europe, there is a cultural bias that says political representation is
more important than technical expertise. That is so foreign to us," says
Carrie Bloomer, a project manager in the international activities division of
the FASB, who wrote a negative opinion on the IASC's December plan.

TIME TO RELENT? In the end, the IASC resubmitted its proposal to create a
structure much more like the FASB's. IOSCo, the SEC in a separate study, and
the FASB approved the second IASC plan. Now, it's up to the EU to give thumbs
up or down -- with the decision probably depending on how many foreign
governments jump on the bandwagon. Industry watchers are confident

Serb Hackers Take Over 50 Web Sites


The Rule of Law dictates a cruise missile on this one.

More than 50 websites have been taken over by what is suspected to be a group
of Serb hackers.
The websites - which included such high-profile names as Manchester United
and Adidas - were stripped of their content, and branded with the image of a
double-headed eagle, with the words "Kosovo is Serbia".

Many of the sites were Yugoslav, Bosnian and Croatian. The Kosovo Albanian
newspaper Koha Ditore and the Albanian site Kosovapress were also among those
hacked.

In another development, the website of the Serbian Ministry of Information
reported that it and other Yugoslav sites had been taken over.

It said "American-Albanian propagandists" had forged the entire English
version of its site on Wednesday.

"In a planned and malicious action, regularly registered Yugoslav sites were
taken over on the central server of an American firm involved in the
registration of the internet domains," it added.

"Numerous sites of the Yugoslav providers, political parties and firms were
attacked in a synchronised manner," it said.

Chance discovery

Most of the companies in the "Kosovo is Serbia" attack have since reclaimed
their websites.
Manchester United believes the culprits were "cyber-squatters", who register
internet sites in the names of celebrities or well-known companies, and then
try to sell them back again.

An internet company which monitors domain names, WebDNS, spotted that the
hacking was part of a sustained campaign.

Alex Jeffreys, the technical director of WebDNS, said he noticed that several
high-profile web-sites were being hacked on Monday.

"I almost stumbled over it by chance, when I noticed that a number of large
company domain names had changed ownership," he told News Online.

As he began checking details of some of the thousands of websites being
supported by the server Webprovider Inc, he discovered more than 50 sites
that had been hacked from the same address.

The hacked websites had all been registered with Network Solutions, the
world's largest register.

Mr Jeffreys said it appeared that the hackers had changed the contact details
in Network Solutions' database on Sunday night.

The contact addresses were at first transferred to a Yugoslav address, and
then on Monday night to an Albanian address.

"It seems that the Network Solutions database is quite open for hacking,
rather than it being one company in particular," he said.

How the hackers worked

It is impossible to say exactly who the hackers are, or how they managed to
breach databases that should be secure.

However, Mr Jeffreys said they probably sent spoof e-mails to Network
Solutions, pretending to be from the company concerned, and requesting a
change of address.

The requests for a modification are sent by an automatic e-mail form.

Although Network Solutions was not available for comment, a message on their
answer machine said that "if you are making a registrar name change or
contact modifications request" there would be delays while they "carefully
review your request for change".

Do cyborgs live among us?
Scientists blur the boundaries between 'wetware' -- the living brain -- and
computer hardware

Jay Bookman
Cox Newspapers
John Lehmann, National Post

Steve Mann, a University of Toronto professor and pioneer of wearable
computers, dons his latest cyber sunglasses, while a mannequin models an
older version. The glasses transmit images to the Internet. Mann calls
himself a cyborg saying, "The human being and the computer become elements of
each other's feedback loop ... and create something new."

The future has many birthplaces. Part of it is taking shape in the cramped
and cluttered laboratory of John Chapin.

Chapin and his team wired the brains of lab rats directly to a computer,
giving the animals an ability unknown to human beings.

When the rats got thirsty, they would use a robotic arm to bring them water.
That kind of task has become almost second nature to lab rats, but these
animals did it with flair. They operated the device with their minds alone,
moving it merely by thinking about it.

"When people first heard about this work, I'd get e-mails wondering whether
people could use a mind-controlled robot to mow their lawns," jokes Chapin, a
neurobiologist at MCP Hahnemann University in Philadelphia. "But my mind
worked differently. I was thinking about a robot that could bring me a beer."

By linking a living brain to a computer and then allowing the two to
communicate, Chapin has broken down a barrier between the animate and
inanimate worlds. He has given a living mind the power to directly affect the
outside world without having to use the body in which it is housed.
He's hardly a lone researcher.

Thousands of scientists around the world, working quietly in fields as varied
as linguistics, biology, chaos and robotics, are in their own ways blurring
the boundaries that once separated "wetware" -- the living brain -- from the
hardware of silicon-based computers. At the furthest frontier, some
scientists are building computers out of living brain cells.

Their research represents the next world-changing generation in computer
science. It promises to produce computers that seem much more human and
lifelike, and less like machines. It also will transform the relationship
between human beings and computers. They won't be tools that we operate with
our hands, as we do a hammer or a car. Instead, they will become almost a
part of us, intimately linked to our minds and bodies and greatly augmenting
human abilities to think and communicate.

At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, for example, the military's
Alternative Control Technology Laboratory has experimented with systems that
allow pilots to "fly by thought." By controlling their brain waves, human
subjects at the laboratory can steer a flight simulator left or right, up or
down, a skill that most people at the lab master in only an hour.

The term "cyborg" was coined in the '60s by NASA scientists. In a cyborg,
computer hardware has become so much a part of a human being that it creates
a new species -- part machine, part human -- with impressive new powers.

Some theorists argue that cyborgs are not a sci-fi fantasy, but already walk
among us by the millions. They believe that a person with a cellphone and
beeper on his belt and a Palm Pilot in his hand has attained cyborg status.

To many others, that's a stretch. They see their electronic gizmos as tools,
not as an integral part of themselves. But the cyborg description will become
far less strained if researchers in the growing field of wearable computing
are proven right. They are trying to tear down the second major barrier
between human beings and their electronic assistants: the size and weight of
computers.

As computers get smaller, they will become extremely portable and powerful.

Every morning, human beings of the future may don a lightweight, unobtrusive
computer just as we now slip on a wristwatch or tuck a wallet in our pocket.
That computer would give them full-time wireless access to the Internet and
to other human beings equipped with wearables, as well as to e-mail, a
cellphone and other services. At no waking moment would they be disconnected.
They would become individual nodes connected full-time to a vast computer
network shared by millions of other people.

Wearables are already used in the military and in industry. Through its Land
Warrior program, the U.S. Army will equip a platoon of soldiers with wearable
systems for war-fighting exercises this summer.

It plans to deploy 34,000 units in the field within the next few years.
Businesses are buying wearables to let employees who are out of the office or
on the factory floor have fast, easy access to a computer database or the
Internet. As the wearable product is

[CTRL] Fwd: [A-M] Elephant Poop Scoop

2000-04-14 Thread Kris Millegan





AUDREY'S MISSILES
A weekly newsletter dedicated to the peaceful
reform of the United States government.
THE ELEPHANT POOP SCOOP

An article in the Chicago Tribune quotes  a CIA analysis as saying that
the cultivation of the opium poppy rose TWENTY- THREE PERCENT in Colombia
last year and that Colombian heroin increasingly joined cocaine in reaching
U.S. streets.  As more and more illegal drugs come into this country, not
only through Mexico, but also from Cuba, Haiti, and other points South, the
United States fumbles and stumbles, searching for answers to a problem that
grows more urgent by the hour.

The situation in Colombia continues to deteriorate.  According to a Utah
newspaper, suspected paramilitary gunmen executed 21 unarmed residents of a
small town in an oil and cocaine-producing region near the Venezuelan border
earlier this month.  "They came and dragged the people from their homes and
massacred them right in front of their families," a reporter  told the
Associated Press by telephone.  "The town has completely shut down. The
people are staying in their homes."  Just last month Marxist guerrillas
firing homemade missiles heavily damaged a town in southwest Colombia and
freed 92 inmates from a prison there in the largest jailbreak carried out by
rebel forces in almost two years.  Not only are matters getting worse in
Colombia, but in other countries in Latin America as well.   Recently, the
chairmen of the House and Senate foreign relations committees accused Mexico
of unsatisfactory cooperation with U.S. counter-narcotics efforts and said
relevant U.S. laws should be applied against that country.  "The situation is
Mexico continues to deteriorate rapidly," said House International Relations
Committee chairman Benjamin Gilman, and Senate Foreign Relations Committee
chairman Jesse Helms.  Our Ambassador to Mexico, Jeffrey Davidow,  has
declared that the country is in the hands of narco traffickers.  He further
stated that Mexican dealers are among the world's biggest drug traffickers,
and the country has become the world headquarters for the drug trade. "The
fact is that the headquarters of drug trafficking is in Mexico ..just like
the headquarters of the Mafia is in Sicily,"  Davidow said, speaking in
Spanish before a group of alumni from the University of Southern California
in Mexico City.

 Many of the  poverty stricken peoples of this earth have thought that at
last they had found a way to tap the riches of the industrialized nations,
only to become slaves themselves to the criminals engaged in the trade.  Some
say legalize.  Legalization would probably help right now, but the criminal
penetration is such that Congress is not even discussing the option, and we
know from the European experience that it is not a cure all.  A Canadian
newspaper had this to say: "No matter how many dealers are arrested,
incarcerated or deported; no matter how many users are incarcerated,
deported, committed, treated or cremated; and no matter how tough or
compassionate laws become, there will never be any difference until the
supply is shut down at its source.  I fail to understand why this is not the
main topic of conversation when we discuss the problem of hard drug use.  It
is as if we have an elephant in the living room, but all we can do is discuss
the optimal pooper-scooper.  In a nutshell, certain Third World countries are
the suppliers and we, the First World, particularly North America, are the
consumers. The supply will always be there, no matter how many 11-year-old
Hondurans we deport, and the suppliers will always find a way to get it to
us."

Study Finds Wide Disparities In Customs' Intrusive Searches
By Stephen Barr
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, April 10, 2000; Page A01


African American women returning from abroad were disproportionately
singled out for strip-searches by U.S. Customs Service inspectors at
airports, according to a congressional report scheduled for release
today.

Black women were nearly twice as likely to be strip-searched on
suspicion of smuggling drugs as white men and women, the report by the
congressional General Accounting Office said. Moreover, black women were
three times as likely as African American men to be strip-searched.

The intrusive searches were not justified by a higher rate of discovery
of contraband among minority groups, according to the report.

Only about 102,000 of the roughly 140 million Americans returning from
abroad were subject to special searches in fiscal years 1997 and 1998.
The GAO said 95 percent of those were given simple pat-downs and were
not required to disrobe.

Another 4 percent underwent strip-searches and 1 percent were X-rayed.
African American men and women were nearly nine times as likely as white
men and women to be X-rayed, while Hispanic American men and women were
nearly four times as likely, the report said.

The GAO prepared the report for Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), and it
is the first comprehensive analysis of "personal-search" patterns by the
Customs Service. The report follows two years of criticism by minority
women in Chicago and other cities who have complained of "racial
profiling" and humiliating treatment by Customs inspectors.

Since 1998, the Customs Service has tightened up search procedures and
put its lawyers on 24-hour duty to advise inspectors who detain
travelers suspected of smuggling drugs or other contraband.

"We have made it clear to our people that racial profiling will not,
cannot, be tolerated," Customs Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said in an
interview.

Customs said the number of intrusive searches has dropped by about half,
and those that are conducted are far more likely to find drugs.

But Durbin said the GAO analysis showed the need for legislation that
would ban racial profiling by Customs and "make sure this is a permanent
policy that lives beyond Kelly and this particular report."

Durbin has drafted a bill to require Customs to document its reasons for
frisking or intrusively searching individuals and submit such
information to Congress annually. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who also has
investigated claims that Customs mistreats international travelers, has
introduced similar legislation in the House.

Every year, the Customs Service seizes hundreds of pounds of cocaine and
heroin that international air passengers carry inside their clothes or
in their bodies. Growing numbers of smugglers swallow cocaine-filled
balloons or insert packages of heroin and cocaine into their body
cavities, officials said.

Customs has far-reaching powers, upheld by the courts, to take travelers
to holding rooms for pat-downs. Customs inspectors look for passengers
who give evasive answers to their questions, exhibit signs of
nervousness or give off other clues, such as wearing thick-soled shoes.

Often inspectors act on general information about a flight from "source
countries" of the drug cartels or on intelligence tips about a specific
passenger.

If a frisk or strip-search fails to ease an inspector's suspicions, the
passenger can be handcuffed and taken from the airport to a hospital or
clinic where doctors probe the person's body or take X-rays. Travelers
may be forced to drink laxatives to enable inspectors to monitor bowel
movements. Detention times can last from hours to days.

About 3 percent of the passengers undergoing a pat-down were caught with
contraband. Twenty-three percent of strip-searches turned up drugs and
31 percent of X-rays were positive, the GAO found.

In its study, the GAO analyzed the data by gender and race and said
women and men were equally likely to carry drugs, and whites and blacks
were equally likely to be caught smuggling drugs.

Some passengers, however, were more likely than others to be forced to
undergo an intrusive search, the GAO found.

"The most pronounced difference occurred with black women who were U.S.
citizens," the GAO report said. "They were nine times more likely than
white women who were U.S. citizens to be X-rayed after being frisked or
patted down in fiscal year 1998.

"But on the basis of X-ray results, black women who were U.S. citizens
were less than half as likely to be found carrying contraband as white
women," the GAO said.

[CTRL] The Nation, the Free Press CNN

2000-04-14 Thread DIG alfred webre

Re: CNN's role in the CIA/NSA "defense"

Have you ever noticed those Assistant or Deputy Secretary-level memoranda of
the US Government that are all about the "Nation" with a capital "N"? Usually
they are nuclear first strike memos, or FEMA post nuclear strike memos; as in
"How the Nation will survive".

If you think the "Nation" means us people, you are sadly deluded.
The Nations means the collective organs of government (like CIA/NSA),
and that ultimate Organ - the Free Press.  So CNN is really an
Organ of Free Press of the Nation, as the public memos of Assiatant
Secretaries at DOD; FEMA; CIA; NSA would say.

The relevance of CNN as an Organ of the Nation is brought home in this story
from the UK:

http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/international/story/0,,158410,00.html

This story now strongly suggests that the Nation was represented in the Free
Press Room of CNN during the YouGoSlave - Kosovo War by the US Army
psychological warfare operatives.  So the Nation now can make sure that the
Free Press is defending the Nation.

If you think this Orwellian development is a small one, consider this
senora: Post Kosovo war analysis has shown that in fact the mass
executions reported by the Nation's Free Press during the War in order to
justify the bombing and the war itself, may have been a
fabrication - a psychological warfare operation itself by the Nation,
operating through CNN, its Free Press.

So the moral of the story appears to be: Not only does CNN the Free Press
Organ of the Nation REPORT the war; the surveillance, etc.
It also WAGES the war, as any Free Press Organ of the Nation, should
do by golly.

ps- I have personally witnessed CNN reporters live doing coordinated mind
control operations with covert US government operative in the field within
the territory of the US.  Date: October, 1988. Place:
Orlando, Florida.

Welcome to the Nation of DisneyLand, and to its Free Press Organs.
Do you figure they have 70-95% of the People programmed unconscious at any
one time?  Perhaps that is the reason why Hollywood Big Movies cut to Larry
King or the CNN News Room whenever they want to establish a "our Nation rules
the world" reality for the viewer.

I find this level of mass mind control in a way the most profitable to study.
 If we can figure out how to trigger a deconstruction of this Nation-Free
Press symbiosis, perhaps we will see the house of cards of global warfare
state fall within our lifetimes.

[CTRL] Free Energy secrets placed in public domain

2000-04-14 Thread Dave

Bearden, Bearden, everywhere...

"Free Energy" is very intriguing, in every sense of the word...

Lt. Col Tom Bearden (retd.) is a ubiquitous presence in the field, one whose
rank and security clearances place in and amongst the "defense intelligence"
sector.
One is driven to speculate about how "retired" Lt. Col Tom Bearden (retd.)
actually is -
and about the interests of the power behind the  Dept. of Defense  other
governmental components in relation to "Free Energy."

An ex-partner in "Free Energy" research of Lt. Col Tom Bearden (retd.) is
ONE of a statistically significant portion of "Free Energy" researchers
who've met untimely deaths.

It's interesting to speculate on "who does" and "who does not" have an
allegiance to the entrenched capital overlords - the "owners" of captial
wealth and thereby of governmental process, and whether those interests are
served by positive, and open development of "Free Energy" 

still.. and interesting article..

 The general public are strongly encouraged to bring this to the

[CTRL] [Fwd: [The Grip] Guilty by Complicity]

2000-04-14 Thread Bard

Forwarded fyi, Bard


When a man, having impregnated a woman, suggests or agrees
  with a woman that the baby they will produce should be aborted
  both are guilty of murder when this abortion is finalized.  The Sat-
  anic notion pushed by aboritonists that the woman's body is hers
  to do with as she pleases is far from the truth.  If one is an athiest

  or one other than man it really doesn't matter as it is not pertinent
  to them anyway.  What I am referring to is biblical law, which is an
  inherent factor of the common law.  The woman's body is not hers
  alone when she is impregnated, but it belongs to both her and the
  man, as she has, through her marriage;  the sex act itself is mar-
  riage under biblical and common law, and that act now makes their
  bodies as one, with the man being as guilty as the woman and both
  being condemned as murderers under that common law.  I am not
  referring to statutory or corporate law, but the common law that is
  the law of this land.  The state has no part of a marriage between
  man and woman, but is a binding contract between the man, woman
  and God.  There will be no state to argue their case when they ap-
  pear for final judgment, and on that day they will see the baby they
  murdered, whether it was aborted in one week or nine months after
  conception.
The State, whether federal or otherwise, in bringing this nation under
  commercial law has committed the ultimate sin against God, in their
  creation of a god of their own.  Every agent of that government who
  participated in this action, and every one who perpetuates the lie
  will also be tried for their sins.  These sins cannot be hidden
because
  the judge of those sins is contained within the body of each sinner.
Commercial law, abortion, wars, and all the rest of jew agenda for the
  decimation of the white race from the face of the earth is part of the

  original conspiracy, and this fact is heavily documented.  The jews,
  being condemned by Christ Himself, are outlaws in every sense of
  the word,  receive no mercy from God's people, and the bible is
replete
  with examples of this.
With this in consideration we can see that it is our duty as members of
  God's people to destroy His enemies, who are destroying us.  In
  short, we must do it unto them before they do it to us.  I know of no
  argument sufficient to alter this course.  The future of the white
race is
  at stake.

Southern Party Meets Citizens for a Fair Vote Count

One of the most dynamic developments in the last year on the American
political scene is the emergence of the Southern Party. The Southern
Party, as its name implies, has the potential to immediately galvanize
large blocks of voters in the South against the New World Order
Occupational Government now occupying Washington D.C. through that
smooth-lying lightweight, Bill Clinton.

Even worse (for the bad guys) the Southern Party is raising the specter
of secession, a move provided for in the Constitution, if our criminal
government in Washington D.C. continues to devolve into barbarism and
tyranny.

Your writer has been invited to speak at the Southern Party convention
on July 1, 2000 in Columbia, South Carolina. (Details for the convention
can be found at www.southernparty2000.org). I’ll be there. The format
and schedule is still being finalized, but I understand I will be giving
an address, followed by questions and answers about how to restore
honest, verifiable elections.

Some Southern Party leaders are already very familiar with this issue –
and they understand that if the first phase of their efforts in the
south to elect local and Congressional candidates are to have any hope
of success, that they must ensure an honest and verifiable ballot count
for their candidates, their supporters, and for all the people in the
southern states.

I must raise the alarm to Southern Party leaders and supporters that
computerized “vote-counting” systems have been installed precisely to
PREVENT the success of a movement like the Southern Party. The Dark
Forces of Evil behind Clinton foresaw when Clinton was still in diapers
that a reaction would eventually come from the American people against
their anti-American, anti-freedom agenda. The computerized vote counting
systems have been installed to prevent citizens from checking or
double-checking what these computers are instructed to do on election
day by the secret software and the unknown men who program that
software.

Put another way: when the Southern Party puts up candidates for local
office, state office, or Congressional office --- there is no question
in my mind that these candidates would win a reasonable percentage of
the seats they seek IF those contests are decided by a PUBLIC hand count
of paper ballots, in each precinct, conducted by the neighborhood
citizens from all factions, immediately upon the close of the voting,
with the results posted PUBLICLY at the neighborhood polling place
BEFORE the votes leave the neighborhood precinct.

Finally, the Southern Party would have to be sure that its
representatives were present at every precinct count, so that the result
in each precinct could be reported immediately to a central Southern
Party command post. Such independent verification and compilation of the
results of the individual precinct counts --- would make impossible the
type of votefraud which the Iowa GOP and the Big TV networks’ Voter News
Service perpetrated against Pat Buchanan in the Iowa GOP Presidential
Caucus of 1996. Note well: in that caucus the local Iowans conducted a
perfectly honest event. However, once the county totals were called into
Voter News Service in New York City (with the total, unholy
collaboration of the Iowa GOP), the results were cynically altered to
ensure a Dole “victory.” (See story on www.networkamerica.org website,
in either the “Help Break the Cover-up” article or the “A House without
Doors” article in archives.)

Under the scenario in the above paragraph, some of the Southern Party
candidates would surely win, because it would be impossible for the
Ruling Elite to rig the election from a central location. If such a
verifiable hand-count system, -- the exact system used throughout the
United States from the days of the Founding Fathers until at least
around 1960 – is NOT in place, then the Southern Party will never be
able to make decisive progress under the current computerized “election
system” --- even if our cruel masters throw a “bone” in a few minor
elections in order to give false hope to Southern Party leaders, while
they further run out the clock as they try to fasten the New World Order
financial chains around our hands and ankles.

Students punished for snorting Kool-Aid;
have 'zero tolerance' rules gone insane?

WASHINGTON, DC -- A public school that suspended students for
snorting Kool-Aid -- that's right; snorting Kool-Aid! -- shows that
"zero tolerance" policies have gone too far, the Libertarian Party said
today.

"Zero tolerance has become infinitely ridiculous," said Steve
Dasbach, the party's national director. "Unless school officials
thought they had to act fast before students start smoking Tang or
mainlining Hawaiian Punch, then suspending students for abusing
Kool-Aid seems to be a classic case of zero tolerance nonsense.

"Like so much of what government schools do, most zero
tolerance policies display zero common sense, zero benefits, and zero
effectiveness."

This week, the O.T. Bonner Middle School in Danville, Virginia,
suspended eight students for one week after they were caught sniffing
Kool-Aid.

The seventh- and eighth-grade students were charged with
"possession of contraband" because they were "using Kool-Aid in a way
that imitated the use of illegal drugs," school officials explained.

The students got off easy: They could have been suspended for a
year on the charge of "using a look-alike drug."

But any government school bureaucrat who thinks the brightly
colored, sugary, powdered drink mix is "a look-alike drug" -- or even
"contraband" -- must have, well, gone to a government school, said
Dasbach.

"This is your brain; this is a public school bureaucrat's brain
on Kool-Aid," he said. "When school officials think that cracking down
on powdered drink mix abuse is more important than educating students,
then there is zero hope for the public education system."

But the "War on Kool-Aid" isn't the only example of
zero-tolerance policies gone berserk, said Dasbach. Over the past
year...

* A school in New Jersey suspended two kindergarten students
after they played "cops and robbers" on the playground, pointed their
fingers at each other like guns, and shouted "bang bang!"

* A school in Maryland suspended a student after he drew a
crude picture of a gun on a piece of paper. The nine-year-old was
charged with violating the school's anti-weapon policy.

* A school in Kansas suspended a seventh-grader for three days
after he drew a picture of a confederate flag. The flag, said
officials, violated the school's policy against "racially divisive"
material.

* A school in Michigan flagged a sixth-grader as a potential
violence risk -- and told his parents they had to meet with the
school's "Hazard and Risk Assessment Team" -- after he suggested that
one way to prevent school shootings would be to allow teachers to carry
guns.

* A school in Minnesota refused to allow a high school senior
who had enlisted in the Army to pose for a yearbook picture sitting
atop a World War II howitzer at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars
post. The photo would violate the school's anti-weapon policy, said
officials.

Libertarians don't object to zero tolerance policies on
principle, said Dasbach -- only to the arbitrary way they are
implemented and enforced by government schools.

"Many private schools also have strict rules against violence
and inappropriate behavior," he noted. "The difference is that private
schools can compete on the basis of effective discipline, and parents
have the choice of sending their children to a school that offers the
kind of regulatory structure they want.

"On the other hand, parents whose children are trapped in
government schools don't have that choice. They must settle for
whatever ridiculous rules local public school bureaucrats implement.
And parents are then forced to pay taxes to support that school, even
if they strongly object to its silly zero tolerance policies."

Until parents have real educational freedom and can use their
own money to send their children to the non-governmental school of
their choice, Dasbach said he has a solution to the "zero tolerance"
madness.

Conservative German Politician Lauches Fierce Attack Against NATO War
by Rainer Rupp
Saarbrücken, Germany
Special to Antiwar.com
4/14/00

"Serbia, the only truly multi-ethnical state left in the Balkans"

Willy Wimmer, Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE and
member of the German Bundestag (National Parliament) for the conservative
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, has never
held back with his sharp criticism of NATO's war against Yugoslavia. But his
recent statement, distributed on 3rd April in the lobby of the Bundestag has
caused a stir in German politics and was given broad attention in the national
media.

In his statement Mr. Wimmer warned that one year after the beginning of the
NATO attack against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" the Kosovo War was
increasingly proving to have become a watershed for the future development of
the world." Referring to his recent talks in Moscow he emphasised that, after
years of having waited in vain for a fruitful dialog with Europe and the USA,
Russia had now passed a new military doctrine, "which specifically addresses
NATO and the West." (NATO is designated in the new doctrine as a potential
threat to Russia). "What makes Moscow publish its guidelines for the (first)
use of nuclear weapons now," asks Mr. Wimmer and offers the answer: "What other
reason could there have been than the war against Yugoslavia."

In Beijing too, things had changed to the worse, asMr Wimmer recalls his talks
there. In spite of all American apologies and assertions to the opposite, the
Chinese firmly believe, " that one single US-bomber flew all the way from the
United States in order to hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade."

Despite all assertions about the "humanitarian war" by NATO-officials, Mr.
Wimmer urged Europeans to draw the right conclusions from an operation, "which
was essentially led, in order to ensure the expansion of NATO and to underpin
its credibility."

Moreover, in Mr. Wimmers' view the NATO-Operation in Kosovo seems to have "got
out of control." Referring to Western newspaper reports Mr. Wimmer emphasises
that "the Jews of Kosovo have now fled, almost without exception, to Belgrade."

He added that "it goes without saying" that the KLA "has almost completely
cleansed the remaining ethnic Serbs and Roma from Kosovo; the ethnical Turks
had to go, and the catholic Albanians report acts of violence against them.
Even Albanian intellectuals are leaving Kosovo and apparently flee to
Belgrade." From these observations the conservative representative Willy Wimmer
draws the only logical conclusion, that Belgrade remains "the only large multi-
ethnical state in the Balkans." He considers that Kosovo is "on the eve of
another civil war between rival albanian groups, which are supported by
competing drug barons. What will NATO do then? – An undignified withdrawal or
the provocation of a new war?"

He sternly warns against a new war against Serbia and ridicules NATO's grand
claims. "What is left of NATO's big mouth announcements of a year ago, that it
would cut the Yugoslav army into pieces?" he asked. "After 78 days of war and
approximately 36,000 bombing missions the Yugoslav Army left (Kosovo) with
polished tanks!" Next time, Mr. Wimmer expects, that NATO might not get away so
easily: "It is highly questionable if a future conflict in Kosovo would follow
the old pattern, or if a President Putin would again refuse the S-300 air
defence systems to the Serbs, as happened in October 1998. In the actual air
duels the most modern US technology confronted Soviet technology of the 70ies.
That might change. "

In conclusion Mr. Willy Wimmer addresses the increasing tensions between Europe
and the USA and requests Europeans to think again before they get dragged into
the next Balkan war: "Europeans should ask themselves, how they see their own
role against the background of the official American defence planning
guidelines? This Pentagon document states razor-sharp that all American efforts
must be directed against the emergence of a rival power while upholding NATO as
the substantial channel for American influence in Europe and as an instrument
for participation in European decision making."

With reference to The Hague, Mr. Wimmer, the deputy chairman of the OSCE's
parliamentary assembly does not see "much of a future" for the International
War Crimes Tribunal. Quoting a high official in the German government he said:
"the tribunal would quickly unravel once it started in earnest to pursue the
complaints that have been filed against NATO."

FALWELL'S 'PEOPLE OF FAITH 2000' CAMPAIGN SERVES PARTISAN AGENDA, WATCHDOG
GROUP CHARGES

IRS SHOULD LAUNCH INVESTIGATION OF SHADY POLITICAL SCHEME, SAYS AMERICANS
UNITED

Religious Right leader Jerry Falwell's election-year project is a partisan
political scheme that warrants an Internal Revenue Service investigation,
according to a national church-state watchdog group.

Today, Falwell formally launched his "People of Faith 2000" project, an
initiative he claims will raise up to $25 million to register 10 million
religious conservatives between now and November. The effort is a project of
Falwell's new tax-exempt organization, the Liberty Alliance Institute, a
spin-off group of his Jerry Falwell Ministries, that will distribute voter
registration materials to pastors and individual church members.

Federal law prohibits tax-exempt institutions from conducting voter
registration drives in a partisan manner. Based on Falwell's own remarks,
there can be little doubt that the "People of Faith 2000" project is a scheme
to help elect presidential candidate George W. Bush and other Republican
candidates, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State,
a watchdog group and longtime critic of Falwell.

"Jerry Falwell is abusing tax-exempt religious ministries to push a partisan
political agenda," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of
Americans United. "This project is not a noble campaign designed to simply
register more Americans to vote. It is a highly partisan drive that Falwell
admits is intended to help put Gov. Bush in the White House."

Falwell admitted his partisan motivation for the project in an interview with
USA Today published on March 23. "It is my experience that most people of
faith in this country vote pro-family, pro-life, and that will mean George W.
Bush," Falwell said in describing the importance of his project. "If I'm right,
the Republicans are going to feel a very positive result from this from the
top to the bottom of the ticket."

Additionally, Falwell told Beliefnet.com, an online religion news website,
that he introduced his election year project quickly because "another four
years of Clinton-Gore would devastate this country."

In fact, Falwell has made no effort to hide his enthusiasm for Bush. On March
3, Falwell told supporters, "[W]e must have unity if we hope to win in
November. The goal, as we all know, is to ensure that Al Gore does not sit in
the Oval Office come January." On March 16, he told a national television
audience he supports Bush "all the way." While giving his opinion of the Log
Cabin Republicans (a gay GOP group), Falwell told CNN on March 5, "I think
that they're living an immoral lifestyle, but I'd much rather they vote for
George Bush than Al Gore."

AU's Lynn said, "Falwell is free to support Republicans as an individual, but
trying to use churches and tax-exempt ministries for this purpose is deceitful
and probably illegal."

Despite the obviously partisan agenda of the project, Falwell has acknowledged
that he has already raised $1 million for the effort from business interests
that have been offered a tax deduction because the money has been raised
through Falwell's tax-exempt organization.

"This stinks to high heaven," Lynn added. "As Falwell is well aware,
tax-deductible donations to a religious ministry are not supposed to be
diverted to partisan political projects. This warrants an immediate
investigation."

Lynn also noted that there is a precedent for the IRS severely penalizing a
tax-exempt group that undertook a campaign similar to Falwell's project.

In 1990 the IRS revoked the tax exemption of a non-profit group (whose name is
kept confidential by the IRS) that sought to register conservative voters in
advance of the 1984 election. The organization had stated that its goal was to
register 1 million conservative voters as part of an effort to re-elect Ronald
Reagan, and the IRS determined this to be unlawful intervention in a political
campaign.

Falwell already has a history of sidestepping federal tax law prohibitions
concerning churches and politics. The Internal Revenue Service punished
Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour in 1993 when it discovered that funds were
illegally funneled from Falwell's group to a political action committee.
Falwell was forced to pay $50,000 and the Old Time Gospel Hour's tax-exempt
status was pulled retroactively for 1986-87.

"No religious leader should take legal advice from someone who obviously has
trouble following the law himself," Lynn concluded. "Falwell may be desperate
to regain political power and influence, but using religious groups and
ignoring tax law is the wrong way to do it."

Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington,
D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization represents 60,000 members and allied
houses of worship in all 50

[CTRL] Patent This!!!

2000-04-14 Thread Alamaine

From
http://www.feedmag.com/dna/bookoflife.html

{{Begin}}
LAST MONTH, Donna Rawlinson MacLean took out an unusual patent with the British
Patent Office. She created an invention she called "Myself." MacLean, a poet
and casino waitress from Bristol, England, explained her reasoning to the
Guardian. "It has taken thirty years of hard labor for me to discover and
invent myself, and now I wish to protect my invention from unauthorized
exploitation, genetic or otherwise." A few weeks later, San Francisco artist
Marilyn Donahue copyrighted her DNA, documenting authorship by licking a stamp
and sticking it on a self-addressed envelope.

These are intended to be acts of protest, meaningful for their symbolic value,
not their legal viability. But in the increasingly surreal realm of
intellectual property, where the difference between organism and invention is
anyone's guess, the claims of Donahue and MacLean are anything but absurd. Life
as commodity is not a new idea: Slavery is a prime example. But never before
now have humans possessed the tools to create life, and manipulate it at its
most basic -- genetic -- level. Last Thursday, the human race finally
deciphered the three billion digits of its own code, our DNA -- or what science
writer Peter Gorner aptly describes as the "book of life." As the much-vaunted
race to map the human genome comes to a close (the complete map should be
finished this year), the race to make the map pay off begins.

The implications fall just this side of comprehension: If we can learn to read
the code that programs life, we can surely learn to write that code; if we can
program life, we can create life. Because anything we can make we can sell, and
nearly always do, we'll need to get a patent on that sucker before someone else
tries to sell it first. Welcome to the gene-patenting debate.

The future is now, and that scares a lot of people. With all the foresight and
humanity Europe exercised when carving up Africa, biotech companies are
rapaciously carving up your body in a sort of posthuman colonialism, racing
each other and the government to gain exclusive rights over your genes. In the
coming decades, our God-given traits may become as interchangeable -- and
marketable -- as an Ikea modular home-entertainment system. We'll choose green
eyes, or blue, eradicate baldness and back hair, and, with the latest brand of
IntelliGene, never be stumped by the Sunday Times crossword again. It sounds
beautiful -- and boring -- and, assuming one still believes in such things,
quite possibly blasphemous.

Yet this knowledge also presents opportunities that tax the imagination: an end
to AIDS, cancer, schizophrenia, aging, and, it has been suggested, death
itself. "This is a time of fantastic hope and fantastic progress," says Chuck
Ludlam, vice president for government relations at the trade group
Biotechnology Industry Organization, and a tireless apologist of the biotech
industry. Indeed, the prospects are dizzying: Eden regained, our mortality a
consumer choice. Eternal life on a very long installment plan.

Of course, we're not there yet, and the road to Eden is paved with stock
certificates. Last month, talks broke down between Celera, Inc., the private
lab that will win the race to map the genome, and the federally funded,
multinational Human Genome Project, which won't. The Human Genome Project, the
ostensible good guys, organized and started the contest in 1990, under an
altruistic mandate to not only map the genome by 2003, but to make that map
available to the public. As such, it now deposits the information it gleans
from its gene sequencing into the public domain via a Web site every twenty-
four hours, thus immunizing it from patent hounds. Celera, which wants to get
really, really rich, will market the fruit of its research on a subscriber-only
database. Using what it calls "the world's largest civilian supercomputer,"
Celera finished the sequencing of the genome April 6. Celera plans to patent up
to five hundred genes.

The potential market is enormous, and the boom years have provided the biotech
industry with eager investors. But if humanity is the ultimate beneficiary of
genetic technologies, it is also, to a disturbing degree, the raw material as
well as the manufactured product. And because corporate equity is only as good
as its patents, the market has demanded, and received, the assurance that life
itself can indeed be patented. "Investors," Ludlam points out, "have wallets.
They don't have hearts."

HOW CAN LIFE be patented? The Supreme Court opened the floodgates in 1980,
allowing the first patent on a living thing, a bacterium that had been
genetically altered to consume pollutants. Perceiving the unquestionable social
good such a creature could provide, the Supreme Court ruled that while nature
itself could not be patented, one might patent "anything under the sun that is
made by man." Eight years later, Harvard won a patent on its special brand of
mouse, the

 Says Joe Battipaglia, chief investment strategist at Gruntal  Co.,
"This particular correction has the same feel as the one in the summer and
fall of 1998, which was the bottom of the Asian financial crisis" ...
Likewise, he said, this week's decline was "not much different from the 'Big
One' in 1987 -- sharp, steep, quick ...''

 "The whole world is ready today for stocks to crash,'' said the top
trader at J.P. Morgan in New York

  Gold jumped more than 2 percent last week, the biggest gain in months.
"People are jumping out of stocks and into gold,'' said Carlos
Perez-Santalla, president of Hudson River Futures in New York.  "Gold is
being counted on as 'disaster insurance'.''

 A senior analyst at Renaissance Capital Corp.'s fund for initial public
offerings adds, despite his optimism,."[In coming days], there will be a lot
of people in pain.''


Look for `People in Pain' as US Stocks Tumble: David Wilson

Princeton, New Jersey, April 14 (Bloomberg) -- Where does it all end? Anyone
with money in U.S. stocks had plenty of reason to ask that question after
witnessing today's carnage.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its largest one-day point drop
ever, and erased most of its gains since mid-March as a result. Intel Corp.,
American Express Co. and Procter  Gamble Co. each skidded more than 8
percent.

The Nasdaq Composite Index fared worse. Its drop was not only the largest
ever in points, but also the largest since the October 1987 crash in
percentage terms. In addition, this week's decline was the biggest on record.
The index has fallen by more than a third since surpassing 5000 just five
weeks ago.

``Right now we are in a bear market,'' said Randall Roth, senior analyst at
Renaissance Capital Corp.'s fund for initial public offerings. ``There will
be a lot of people in pain.''

Investors in the Nasdaq's largest companies, as represented by the Nasdaq 100
index, certainly know the feeling. Almost half of the index's stocks fell 10
percent or more. Five of them, led by BroadVision Inc. and Applied Micro
Circuits Corp., retreated more than 20 percent apiece.

Giving Back Gains

The Dow industrials tumbled 617.78 to 10,305.77, surpassing the 554.26-point
drop in October 1997, when ``circuit breakers'' designed to limit the
market's losses went into effort for the first -- and so far the only -- time
ever.

Although the latest setback wasn't as steep in percentage terms, the
average's 5.6 percent decline ranked as the largest since August 1998. None
of its 30 stocks rose.

Intel, also a major contributor to the Nasdaq's plunge, fell 10 5/8 to 110
1/2. American Express declined 12 9/16 to 133 7/14 and Procter  Gamble lost
6 7/16 to 62 5/8.

Between March 14 and Tuesday, the average climbed a total of 1476 points.
Today's decline, coupled with losses the previous two days, erased about
two-thirds of that advance.

The Standard  Poor's 500 Index, a broader gauge, fell a bit more in the
market's latest retreat. The index declined 83.20, or 5.8 percent, to
1357.31. Only two out of its 107 industry groups, precious metals and
casinos, moved higher.

So far this year, the Dow average is down 10.3 percent and the SP 500 is
down 7.6 percent. Neither loss quite compares with the 18.4 percent retreat
in the Nasdaq Composite, the high-flier among benchmark U.S. indexes during
the past couple of years.

This week's numbers are enough to tell the story. While the Dow and the SP
500 both had gains earlier this week, the Nasdaq retreated day after day: 5.8
percent on Monday, 3.2 percent on Tuesday, 7.1 percent on Wednesday and 2.5
percent on Thursday.

`20 Percent Club'

The index's 9.7 percent setback today ranked second only to its 11.4 percent
plunge on Oct. 19, 1987, the day of the market's ``Black Monday'' crash.
Today's 355.49-point decline brought its losses for the week to 25 percent.
Its close of 3321.29 compared with a record 5048.62 on March 10.

BroadVision, a Redwood City, California-based producer of software for
electronic commerce, tumbled about 45 percent for the week, including a 26
percent decline today to 29 3/4. It surged as much as 24-fold in the
preceding 15 months.

Applied Micro Circuits, a maker of high-speed semiconductors for fiber-optic
equipment, had a similar reversal. The San Diego- based company, which surged
as much as 18-fold between the start of 1999 and the end of March, lost more
than half its value this week. The stock slid 22 percent to 71 1/2 in today's
trading.

Other members of the Nasdaq 100's ``20 percent club'' were CMGI Inc., an
Internet investment company, which declined 14 3/16 to 52 1/16; Qlogic Corp.,
a maker of semiconductor products, which retreated 16 1/2 to 62 1/2; and
Atmel Corp., a maker of chips for computers and telecommunications equipment,
which dropped 10 1/8 to

Bush, Sr., Bay of Pigs, Elian and more/Fwd



What is now going on regarding Elian Gonzalez is SO UTTERLY WEIRD,
bizarre and inconceivable that the whole deal can ONLY be some sort of
totally psychotic scheme cooked up by rogue CIA factions still
completely caught up in crazed anti-Castro obsessions some FORTY-PLUS
YEARS LATER!!

Are we headed for some provoked paramilitary resolution to this whole
insane fiasco??


Both MSNBC and CNN have aired statements by child psychologists who see
CLEAR evidence that young Elian Gonzalez is being COERCED, COAXED and
otherwise intimidated into making certain statements taped on video by
his captors in Miami and aired nationwide by their accomplices, the
child-abusing swine of the Disney/ABC empire. The video footage purports
to show that Elian doesn't want to go back to Cuba. In FACT, there is NO
doubt that several months ago a CNN camera crew taped Elian in the yard
of the Miami home pointing to a plane flying overhead and saying, "look,
a plane! A plane to take me back to Cuba..."

Is this PART of the reason Elian's kidnappers are so adamantly opposed
to handing the child over to his father? Because they don't want anyone
to find out how Elian has been VICTIMIZED by psychologically-abusive
mind control programming, indoctrination, brainwashing and manipulation;
as it's looking more and more likely IS the case?

What have the lunatic-fringe weirdoes of the Miami-area ex-Cuban
anti-Castro crowd been DOING to this child, anyway??!!


And isn't it just AMAZING how the health of Marisleysis obviously
changes WILDLY based on whether her HIGHLY-DUBIOUS "illness" can be used
to further delay the transfer of Elian to his father?
  

And in general--WHAT GIVES??!!

John A. Quinn

Dear John,

I think Kate Dixon nailed it on the head when she wrote:

"Reno is facing JFK's assassins!"

I fear that this whole thing has been a deranged plot from the
CIA-anti-Castro Cuban cabal from the git go.

At the same time, progressive forces within CIA seem to be at work.

For example, Gregory Craig, the lawyer representing Juan Miguel
Gonzalez, is a partner of Williams  Connolly, the prestigious
Washington law firm, whose clients include President Clinton and other
members of the idealistic faction within CIA.

Note the information found in the article by Nobel laureate Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, that Elian was kidnapped on November 22nd, the
anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy.

It looks like these lunatics are now trying to force a confrontation --
one that is going to lead to innocent people being killed, perhaps even
poor little Elian.

The tragic irony of it all is that someday Fidel Castro is going to die
-- probably sooner rather than later -- and it is almost inevitable that
Cuba will be swept up in the wake of American political and economic supremacy.

Be that as it may, permit me to sweeten the pot a bit more, before I bow
out on the Elian saga. Doctor's orders, you understand.

Here it is:

The last thing Ace Hayes, the late, great editor of the Portland Free
Press, and I discussed before he died in 1998 was the name of the two
lead attack craft during the CIA's ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion.

The boats were named Barbara Ann (the name of Bush, Sr.'s wife), and
Zapata (the name of Bush, Sr.'s oil company).

As I recall, old Ace was fond of referring to Bush, Sr. as "the Twisted Shrub."

It was an apt metaphor.

The same might be said for his right wing Cuban compatriots in Miami.

They are a tangled garden of twisted weeds.

Why, forty years after the Bay of Pigs, are we allowing the same "Secret
Team" to paralyze a great nation, by keeping a father from re-uniting
with his 6-year-old son?

This one's for Ace:

LET THE BOY GO!

Dear Mr. Rense,

I include below a breaking news story about the legal problems of Brice
Taylor.  This story is time-sensitive, so please promptly accept it or reject
it.  Matt Drudge is next on my distribution list, but I'd prefer to see this
appear first on my favorite web-site.

I know that some journalists have concluded that Brice Taylor is not to be
believed.  However, she is a figure in the mind control field of substantial
social standing.  In my view, her legal problems are highly relevant to the
controversial claims that she has made, and may in some sense be viewed as
personal and social ramifications of them.  In light of that fact, I have
endeavored to cover her current legal troubles as a front page news story
about a celebrated author.  This is not an advocacy piece.

In any case, I hope that you like it.  As always, it would be an honor and a
privilege to see my work published at www.sightings.com.

Mind Control Author Brice Taylor in Fight for Daughter

by Andrew D. Basiago
Special to Sightings.com

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

LOS ANGLES -- Brice Taylor, author of a recent tell-all book in which she
alleges that she was a "mind controlled slave" programmed on behalf of
sinister political and entertainment industry elites, may be denied
conservatorship of her daughter.

Taylor (whose legal name is Susan Ford) was excluded from an April 5th
meeting at which an official of the state conservator's office and a social
worker decided to recommend that conservatorship of Kelly Ford be given to
the State of California.

The meeting was held at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital in San Diego, where
Taylor's daughter is a patient in intensive care.  Kelly Ford has been deemed
gravely disabled as the result of her psychiatric condition.

Taylor said that she arrived promptly at the hospital on the morning of the
meeting and paged those participating in the decision to recommend who will
be granted conservatorship of her daughter, but the meeting was conducted in
her absence.

After the meeting, Taylor spoke with Herb Maphis, the official of the state
conservator's office involved in the decision to be made about Kelly Ford.
She explained to Maphis that her daughter is suffering from Dissociative
Identity Disorder (DID) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resulting
from mind control programming performed by perpetrators associated with "the
Illuminati."

Maphis apparently relied upon these little-understood references by Taylor to
establish that she is delusional and not fit to responsibly care for her
daughter.

According to Ellen Lacter, a psychologist who specializes in treating
patients with DID, depriving Brice Taylor the conservatorship of Kelly Ford
will prevent her daughter from being seen by specialists with the knowledge
and the experience to correctly diagnose and treat her disorders.

In a related hearing to be held on April 12th in Los Angeles, Taylor's
ex-husband, dentist R. Craig Ford, will ask a state court to discontinue the
spousal support obligations that help to financially sustain his adult
disabled child, who is on welfare, Taylor said.  Taylor will plead that child
support payments from Ford are necessary to provide the mental health
services that her mentally ill daughter needs.

Taylor is a prominent figure on the mind control lecture circuit.  She is one
among a growing number of individuals who claim that they have been victims
of covert forces within high society who use advanced brainwashing methods to
procure their victims for a variety of intelligence functions.

Victims of the most egregious forms of mind control are said to be abused
from infancy.  The goal of the perpetrators is to create alternate
personalities called "programmed alters" by shattering the psyche.  Trauma
causes "amnesia walls" to form in the human mind, in which multiple
personalities are "compartmentalized" from each other.  This sets the stage
for "training" by the intelligence community.  Alter personalties are then
used for different intelligence tasks.  These roles include spy, courier,
sexual consort, and assassin.

Her 1999 book, entitled Thanks for the Memories: The Memoirs of Bob Hope and
Henry Kissinger's Mind Controlled Slave, tells how Taylor was conditioned
from a very young age to accept her role as a sexual companion to powerful
men within privileged international political and business circles.

Taylor describes how she was regarded within the intelligence establishment
as a "Presidential model," an attractive, young, blonde

April 14, 2000

Dear Rumor Mill News Readers,

When I advised you not to celebrate when Les Coleman was released from the
Lexington County jail, it was because I suspected that some kind of deal had
been made between the Kentucky judge and the New York Federal judge. I don't
blame the Kentucky judge. In the same place I probably would have done the
same thing. Les Coleman is a political football and wherever he lands, he
will  cause nightmares for the judge involved.

The original judge who charged him with civil perjury is the one who has
just had him picked up again. His name  is Judge Platt and he is from the
Uniondale Federal District of New York. Uniondale, NY is on Long Island,
beyond Queens toward Levittown. Is there anyone living in that area who can
offer to visit Les to make sure he is being treated humanely?

 Just this morning I sent out transcripts which detailed the horrible
medical neglect and physical abuse Les suffered while he was in Judge
Platt's care. Now he is being returned to the Judge who allowed him to be
medically neglected and abused.

Les told me that he will be flown from the Frankfurt County jail in
Kentucky,  by Learjet,  to New York sometime next week. I will soon send the
London address of Amnesty International. We must start another letter
writing campaignd as soon as possible. I will also include a fax number for
Amnesty in London. That is the office we have to deal with when the prisoner
is in the United States. Do we have any Rumor Mill News Readers in London
who can walk into the office with a packet of information about Les? If so,
please get in touch and this information will be provided.

If anyone is familiar with the head of the ACLU in Uniondale, NY , please
contact them and advise them as to what is going on.

I will send more information and a sample letter for Amnesty just as soon as
I have it. In the meantime, start gearing up for another letter writing
campaign --

Murder, Mystery, And Mayhem In Mena

"We had nothing, zero, to do with it," stated US President Bill Clinton when
asked by veteran reporter Sarah McClendon about Mena, Arkansas drug running
operations during a White House press conference (October 7th, 1994), "and
everybody who has ever looked into it, knows that."
McClendon asked Clinton if he had been told that the drug and gun running,
"had to be in existence for National Security?" Bubba replied, "No, they
didn’t say anything to me about it. The airport in question, and all the
events in question, were the subject of State and Local inquiries. It was a
matter primarily for federal jurisdiction, the state had really next to
nothing to do with it. The local prosecutors did conduct an investigation,
based on what was in the jurisdiction of State law. The rest of it was under
the jurisdiction of US Attorneys, who were appointed successively by previous
administrations."

While Clinton ruled Arkansas, first as Attorney General, then as Governor,
there was a massive CIA operation underway using Mena, Arkansas, for drug
smuggling, gun running, money laundering, and training Nicaraguan Contras to
fight a war that Congress had said we weren’t to assist in militarily.
Infamous Barry Seal, drug smuggler, and alleged CIA operative, moved his
smuggling operations from Baton Rouge, LA, to Mena, Arkansas and opened up
'Rich Mountain Aviation' in "approximately 1982," according to a deposition
given by IRS investigator William Duncan, who first began investigating the
goings-on at Mena in May, 1983.

It quickly became obvious to him that some serious drug trafficking and money
laundering were in fact occurring there. Duncan reported it to his superiors,
gathered evidence, and submitted a list of witnesses to be called before a
grand jury to see about issuing indictments. Out of twenty names, three were
called to testify, and two of them later reported that they were kept from
giving testimony they had been prepared to give. It is Duncan’s opinion, as
well as that of former Arkansas Police Investigator Russell Welch, who’d
teamed up with Duncan, that the investigation findings were covered up by
various people in the government of the State of Arkansas, and the US
government. Duncan also mentioned Nella airport, a small field about 10 miles
from Mena airport, where there were numerous reports from law enforcement
officers and US Forest Rangers of 'non-American' type troops on maneuvers in
the woods, and the sounds of automatic weapons fire were often heard.

Another case that ties into Mena are the murders of Kevin Ives, and Don
Henry, murdered August 27th, 1987, while walking the traintracks around
midnight, near Alexander, Arkansas. Some reports state that after walking
into an airdrop drug operation, they were ambushed by traffickers waiting to
catch whoever had stolen the previous drug drop. They were simply in the
wrong place at the wrong time.

Kevin’s mother Linda Ives remains convinced that certain law enforcement
officials had some involvement in the boy’s deaths. Arkansas was a veritable
drug and crime haven for some while Clinton was in power there. Through the
operations in Mena, and Nella airports, it is apparent that the CIA was
allowing a huge operation of drug running into the US in return for pilots’
aid in supplying and training Contra pilots and soldiers.

Time and time again this story has appeared in the press, particularly
Arkansas papers, and up to nine separate investigations have been started
into this issue, yet every one has been shut down under US Presidents Reagan,
Bush, and Clinton. All media stories have simply faded away, in the same way
all official investigations have. There’s still no answers in Mena!

Subject: [LIFE-GAZETTE] The Murder of the Stains Family Members in India.

Dear Mrs. Dueck:
 I am as sorry as any compassionate person in India would
be that Mrs. Stains (your guest last night) lost her husbands and sons to
Hindu Fundamentalists during their allegedly "Christian" mission in India.
But you conclude that it was due to "religious intolerance". Do you not
think that it might as well have been due to the RELIGIOUS LIES and
RELIGIOUS RACKETEERING which you and your community practices in Canada
and the world over?
   The motto of the Times of India is "Let Truth Prevail". Does TRUTH have
anything to do with Christian Missions in India? If so, you should be able
to tell the people of India what a CULTURE OF TRUTH is like. In the
1970's, Charles Correa was Chief Architect for New Bombay/Navi
Mumbai. This was a city built totally anew for 1/4 million; now over 1
million. In his book, "The New Landscape", Mr. Correa gives a picture of a
"mandala", a spiritually inspired drawing used in Ancient India to help
plan a new city.
   If your community knew how to plan the villages and cities and
surroundings to constitute a "Culture of Truth" it would have said so long
ago. You are a community of liars and racketeers and for that I am truly
sorry, as I am sorry that THE BLOOD OF THE STAINS FAMILY IS ON YOUR HEADS!
FWP.

  Head in the sand?  Through the ministry of Christian Camping (in my little

  are loved unconditionally by 110 college young people from the Northwest and
  Lower Mainland.  Not only are the kids touched but also their unbelieving
  families.  Lives are changed one heart at a time.

 I think we have to take this to an International Cybercourt now. The
 Chinese will have an interest in this matter as some half dozen Missions
 Fest 2000 booths had to do with missionary work in China. China takes a
 dim view of "religion racketeering" which is how they judged the Falun
 Gong Cult from what I heard of the matter. How will they judge the
 missionaries of Missions Fest?
I spent a decade working daily on psychiatric teams as a psychologist
 so I can tell you any mental health professional would ask whether what
 you are doing with those 3,500 young people is more in the nature of
 inciting "hysterical conversion" than "religious conversion". Conversion
 hysteria has been well known for centuries and adolescents are
 particularly vulnerable. This would then constitute "preying" (on
 vulnerable youth) and not "praying". Just a good, honest question.
How could we tell the difference? (1) "Face to Face"? Face to face has
 a clear meaning in the English language. What are the facial features of
 the Saviour based on these experiences? I am sure the Chinese Ministry of
 Religion would like to know. I certainly would. I'd like to see you
 explain that on Crossroads or Vision TV or Moral Divide. And it is typical
 of the expressions of self-professed "Christians" who also talk about
 their "PERSONAL" relationships with the Saviour. "Personal" means
 person-to-person. So are you trying to pull off a huge DECEPTION?
 (2) What are the "BELIEFS" of these young people? If the SPIRIT of the
 conversion is with them it is easy to prove. With so many young people
 stepping into all kinds of vocations they should be able to describe a
 complete society according to the teachings of the Saviour (with whom they
 have had that "face to face" relationship). After all, if 3,500 young

[CTRL] Protesters Dump Manure at World Bank Headquarters

2000-04-14 Thread Bard

They [the Founding Fathers] were intent upon establishing a Christian commonwealth in 
accordance with the principle of self-government.
They were an inspired body of men.
It has been said that God sifted the nations that He might send choice grain into the 
wilderness 
Who can fail to see in it the hand of destiny? Who can doubt that it has been guided 
by a Divine Providence.
-- Calvin Coolidge


Protesters Dump Manure at World Bank Headquarters (Update1)
By Paul Basken


Washington, April 14 (Bloomberg) -- Protesters dumped 4 tons
of manure on the street and police braced for more demonstrations
as tensions heightened over meetings Sunday and Monday by the
World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

The manure was dumped outside World Bank headquarters by
members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who were
protesting World Bank support for animal agriculture programs in
developing nations.

A few blocks away, police with riot helmets, batons and
plastic shields surrounded about 100 people who were gathered
outside the Treasury Department building to protest U.S. plans to
build a ballistic missile defense system.

Meanwhile protest organizers, faced with a show of force by a
determined police force, downplayed their plans to shut down this
weekend's meetings of the World Bank and IMF.

The looming confrontation between police and protesters
persuaded more federal agencies to close their doors Monday, the
second day of the planned IMF and World Bank meetings, and caused
the cancellation of a major collegiate rowing event this weekend
on the nearby Potomac River.

Protesters said raising awareness of their objections to the
lenders' policies was more important than disrupting the meetings.

`Building a Movement'

``It doesn't matter so much if we shut them down on April 16
because we're going start building a movement to hold them
accountable all the time,'' said Laura Jones, a spokeswoman for
the Mobilization for Global Justice, a coalition of protest groups
gathering in Washington.

Two people were arrested for dumping the manure outside World
Bank headquarters. One of those arrested wore a cow suit and
screamed, ``Meat is murder, meat is murder,'' as he was led off by
police.

PETA targeted the World Bank for making loans for agriculture
projects in countries that have no animal welfare regulations and
no environmental regulations, said Bruce Friedrich, a spokesman
for PETA.

Police continued to prepare for protests by placing metal
pedestrian barricades around streets surrounding the White House
and the Treasury Department building. Inside, Treasury workers
installed plastic sheeting on windows to keep out tear gas.

The streets surrounding the World Bank and IMF headquarters
remained closed to traffic, and police plan to shut down more
streets tomorrow, said a city police spokesman, Quintin Peterson.
``They're going to make sure they have the area reinforced
when it's time for those demonstrations,'' Peterson said.

Outgrowth

The planned protests were initially described by organizers
as an outgrowth of demonstrations in December in Seattle at the
summit of the World Trade Organization that erupted into sporadic
rioting. The Seattle protests prevented some WTO delegates from
attending the session, which ended without agreement on a new
round of worldwide trade talks.

With Washington police demonstrating more preparation and
experience in containing protests than their counterparts in
Seattle, Jones said the strategy against the IMF and World Bank
involves increasing public awareness of the protesters complaints
against the IMF and World Bank.
``Whatever happens on the 16th, we're not as concerned with
shutting down the meetings,'' she said. ``This isn't exactly
Seattle II, you know.''
``It's more that we've gotten lots of people out here and
they're energized and this is an educational activity,'' Jones
said.

The city's police chief, Charles Ramsey, said his department
has had good communications with protest leaders, and does not
believe they are backing down.
``That's not the message we've gotten so far -- they've
continued to say that their goal is to shut down the World Bank,''
Ramsey said.

10,000 Expected

Another spokeswoman for the mobilization, Chloe Frommer, said
the protesters, expected to number at least 10,000 at Sunday's
main rally, will seek some kind of confrontation with police to
grab media attention.
``It could be police and activists, not necessarily violent,
but in maybe a standoff, where one's on one side, and the other
one's not letting the other one pass,'' Frommer said.

The State Department's downtown passport office, and the
offices of the Department of Veterans Affairs announced today they
will remain closed Monday, the scheduled second and final day of
the IMF-World Bank meetings and associated protests.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Marines on Main Street
Warfare training, car searches scare some residents, thrill others

By David M. Bresnahan
© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/

SWANSBORO, N.C. -- "This is training for urban warfare against
the American people," said Marty Proctor, owner of the Main Street
Deli, regarding the activity that has been taking place directly in front
of his business.

Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
( http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/26meu ) from Camp Lejeune, N.C.
( http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil ) have been engaged in urban warfare
training exercises in Mobile, Ala. and Swansboro, N.C. this past
week. Some of their critics claim the training in civilian areas violates
the law, but their supporters welcome them with open arms.

"They're just preparing for when people get pissed off enough to start
saying 'enough's enough,'" said Proctor, who believes the military
plans to one day use force against the American people who refuse to
turn in their guns.

But while a relatively small number of residents may fear the Marines
are training to be a domestic police force, the Marines say they are
only preparing for possible challenges when they go to the
Mediterranean area in July.

Members of the elite unit have been in Swansboro all week training
with the local police at checkpoints and neighborhood patrols.
Despite the ominous appearance of over 100 different armed soldiers
each day, residents and elected officials have welcomed the military
exercise.

"Camp Lejeune has done so much to help our local law enforcement.
This is our chance to give back," said Swansboro Police Chief Harry
Pugliese in a WorldNetDaily report last Friday. His police officers
have received frequent training opportunities at Camp Lejeune
without charge to the city. Phone inquiries as to the nature of the
training were not returned.

The receptionist at City Hall said the only complaints she has received
have come from out-of-state readers of WorldNetDaily. She said she
has not received any complaints from residents.

A Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman said that
business owners have not complained to her office. She said she
knows Proctor, but was unaware that he is upset. Marines in the
street in front of his deli have caused a severe drop in his regular
business. Their appearance was intimidating, he said, and kept people
away.

The Marines set up a checkpoint directly in front of the police station
where they posted a sign that read, "Military Checkpoint Ahead." The
only cars that were pulled over were those with a special sign in the
window indicating they had volunteered to be searched, according to
military spokesmen. (Must have Microsoft Word to view this banner.)

Firearms are the objective of the search, according to one of the
Marines being trained. When a car is pulled over, they first examine
the bottom of the vehicle using special mirrors. Then they search the
interior. Special fake weapons have been planted in some of the
volunteer's cars to see if the trainees are good enough to find them.

Volunteers were warned that local police would also be involved in
the search and that they would be subject to all laws. It is not known
if anyone has actually been arrested for a real violation, because
police officers have declined to speak with WorldNetDaily and
Pugliese has not returned calls.

Proctor said some residents complained to him about being frightened
when the Marines at the checkpoints actually pointed automatic
weapons at them.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/images/2414_xex_checkpoint.jpg

Several Marines were willing to remove the
magazine from their rifle and show that it was
empty upon request. Despite the fact that
weapons were not loaded, many people were
not aware of that and were fearful as they saw
Marines crouched and lying behind sandbags
with their machine guns pointed at cars
approaching the checkpoint. Military vehicles
were also present with automatic weapons
mounted on them.

"Marines questioned by WorldNetDaily said it was part of their job to
look as intimidating as possible. "

"Most people see police officers on a day to day basis and think
nothing of it. They're not intimidated, as they should be. When we're
seen, it's an intimidation thing more than anything," said one of the
Marines on the first day of the exercise.

"Asked if residents should be concerned about the military acting as a
police force, he said, "It's a new world. It's a new world." Other
Marines made similar comments."

Marine officers prevented additional direct conversations with their
trainees, and also prevented WorldNetDaily from talking with people
who had been searched.

Contrary to their statements that the Marines searched only vehicles
with the "volunteer" sign in the window, cars without the sign were
observed being searched at the checkpoints -- some with small
children

Was Clinton Really Elected in 1996?

But first: - Thanks to Ken Bagwell, the excellent host of “Heads Up”
talk radio on WTZY in Ashville, North Carolina, - for conducting one of
the best shows on vote fraud that I have ever participated in. We went
from 10 AM to 12 noon earlier today with a barrage of excellent callers
throughout the program.

This program is available from Bobby Terry, who tapes all the programs
for WTZY. The phone number is 1-828-258-1337, or you can mail $8.00 for
the two hour program (shipping included) to Bobby Terry c/o TDS, 12
Success St., Ashville, NC 28806. Ask for the April 11, 2000  “Heads Up”
show hosted by Ken Bagwell on VOTEFRAUD.

This show is excellent in the sense that the state of ballot counting in
the local area unfolded “live” during the program thanks to the callers.
It appears the area has recently been switched to computer voting
without a paper trail, using highly paid outside computer experts to
swoop in near election day and fix problems. This information adds
another small piece of evidence for our thesis that there is an
organized plan to exclude American citizens from the vote counting
process in favor of a few large mega-corporations, unaccountable to the
local people.

There is a local group called “No Holds Barred” which is fighting for
clean government in that region of North Carolina. We wish them all the
best and we hope that groups such as “No Holds Barred” and “CLEAN” in
Washington state will network and stay in touch with each other. We also
hope some of the folks from “No Holds Barred” will make it to our
Citizens for A Fair Vote Count Convention later in the summer, details
to be announced.

On to Clinton, Dole, and the 1996 election.

I don’t want to make too big a deal out of this, but it should be put
“on the record” for the world wide web community to see and consider.

Even though Senator Bob Dole was probably the very worst major party
candidate since the dawn of the television age, he won more counties in
the United States of America in the 1996 Presidential Election than Bill
Clinton!

USA Today of November, 8th, 1996 carried the following information: “Bob
Dole won more counties than Bill Clinton . . . 1580 to 1534. But Clinton
won more heavily populated counties in vote-rich states – and a second
term.”

I found that revelation (which we carried in our December, 1996
newsletter) out of character with the Big TV News spin that Clinton was
dominating everywhere. This means that Clinton won in the large
metropolitan areas, which is believable --- but the metropolitan areas
are ALSO the ones where it is easiest to steal large amounts of votes
with little danger of detection.

Here's what we said in 1996: "Remember, it's the heavy population
centers where there is absolutely no way to verify the computer
generated results. Even with all the Big Media support, was it necessary
to use computer fraud in the Big Cities to get Clinton back in?"

Did the Clinton margins in the Big Cities outweigh the Dole vote in the
counties in 1996? If Clinton is so popular as we are told, wouldn’t he
have beaten Dole handily in a clear majority of counties, as well as in
the Big Metropolitan areas?

1937
Prescott Bush's investment firm sets up deal for the Luftwaffe so it can
obtain tetraethyl lead.

1942
Three firms with which Prescott Bush is associated are seized under the
Trading with the Enemy Act.

1953
George Bush and the Liedtke brothers form Zapata Petroleum. Zapata's
subsidiary, Zapata Offshore, later becomes known for its close ties to the
CIA.

1954
The Bush family buys out the Liedtke brothers.

1955
George Bush sets up a Mexican drilling operation, Permago, with a frontman to
obscure his ownership. The frontman later is convicted of defrauding the
Mexican government of $58 million.

1959
Manuel Noriega recruited as an agent by the US Defense Intelligence Agency.

1960
Some investigators believe George Bush spent part of this year and the next
in Miami on behalf of the CIA, organizing rightwing exiles for an invasion of
Cuba. Is said to have worked with later Iran-Contra figure Felix Rodriguez.

1961
According to the Realist, CIA official Fletcher Prouty delivers three Navy
ships to agents in Guatemala to be used in the Bay of Pigs invasion. Prouty
claims he delivered the ships to a CIA agent named George Bush. Agent Bush
named the ships the Barbara, Houston and Zapata.
Bay of Pigs invasion fails. Right-wingers blame Kennedy for failure to
provide air cover. CIA loses 15 men, another 1100 are imprisoned.

George Bush invites Rep. TL. Ashley -- a fellow Skull  Boner -- down to
Texas for a party in order to meet "an attractive girl." Bush writes that
"she may be accompanied by an Austrian ski instructor but I think we can
probably flush him at the local dance hall." Bush notes that he's had to
unlist his phone because "Jane Morgan keeps calling me all the time." [From a
letter in the Ashley archives uncovered by Spy magazine.]

Zapata annual report boasts that the company has paid no taxes since it was
founded.

[CTRL] U.S. set to stage mock terror attacks in May

2000-04-14 Thread The Extremist

More federal government training in the streets of America under the
guise of preparing for "terrorist" attacks.  Of course we know by the
FBI/ADL's "Project Meggido" report that the federal government
considers American Christians, patriots, constitutionalists, gun
owners, and conservatives the "terrorists".  These training exercises
going on all over the nation are incrementally conditioning the
American people to accept the coming socialist police state and to
demonize the good Americans who will not tolerate their command
and control tyranny and treason. We know who the real terrorists are.
Welcome to the New World Order.

FEATURE-U.S. set to stage mock terror attacks in May

WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - Sometime in May, senior U.S.
officials will wake up to their worst nightmare -- a string of  terrorist
attacks from coast to coast.

Fortunately, it will be only a dress rehearsal for the real  thing. Called
"Topoff," the series of attacks by a fake foreign terrorist group is
aimed at testing how top officials would respond if faced by real
weapons of mass destruction.

As part of the staged attacks, actors will release mock biological
agents, chemical weapons and radiation and hack into  computers,
said Ted Macklin, director of exercises and  evaluations at the Justice
Department's Office of State and  Local Domestic Preparedness
Support.

"This will give us the chance to assess in a context of a full-scale
exercise how far we have come in the training process  of our first
responders and whether we need to make any  midcourse
corrections," he said in an interview with Reuters.

"This exercise is very important to allow us to assess our national
capacity and refine our approach to the threat of terrorism," he said,
adding that the scale of the exercise -- which will cost at least $3.4
million -- was unprecedented in  terms of the range of attacks.

SPOOF ATTACKS MUST TAKE OFFICIALS BY SURPRISE

Macklin refuses to provide specifics since he wants to avoid  giving
too much information to top officials, whom he wants to  surprise with
the carefully planned mayhem.

It has taken more than a year and the involvement of hundreds of
state and local officials to plan the exercise that  targets three venues:
Denver, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and an  area outside
Washington, D.C.

The only information to be disclosed so far is that the attacks will take
place over a period of several days between  May 7 and 26. No
details will be released until then about the  type of biological agents
to be used, how the process will  unfold and the specific sites in the
cities chosen.

"The exercise is characterised as 'no notice.' We need an element of
surprise," said Macklin. People can expect to see  streets blocked off,
emergency vehicles rushing to the scene and  "victims" being taken to
hospitals.

"People will see response vehicles, people may see people  in
protective gear and there will be visible activity. Where,  when and
what, we can't share with you," Macklin said. But he  said his
department was working hard to make sure people living  in the areas
affected knew that the events were simulated.

"People will understand that this is just an exercise, but they must also
understand that if they see things that are actual emergencies they
must tell officials," Justice Department spokesman Doug Johnson said.

Attorney General Janet Reno and Federal Emergency Management
Director James Lee Witt are the first officials who have lined  up to
take part in the event.

SENIOR OFFICIALS LINED UP FOR EXERCISE

Macklin said he hoped senior officials from the FBI, CIA, State
Department, Pentagon and others would also participate.  After the
attacks, a report will be filed how they responded and  recommend
any improvements or corrections needed.

"Ultimately the end game in any exercise is that once the
recommendations are validated we can incorporate them into  training
programmes to refine those," Macklin said. If a real  attack takes
place during the mock events, he said, enough  resources have been
set aside to deal with it.

The exercise stems from a provision inserted in a 1998 appropriations
bill by Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New  Hampshire calling for
"practice operations" for a terrorist  attack. His home state is one of
those chosen for the mayhem.

Critics of the exercise say it overstates the real threats facing America
and that such a broad range of attacks would be  unlikely to happen
together.

CIA director George Tenet told a Senate committee last month  that a
major threat to U.S. security came from groups such as  Saudi exile
Osama bin Laden's that were trying to acquire  biological and
chemical weapons capabilities.

Tenet said that over the next few years U.S. cities faced ballistic
missile threats from a wide variety of sources: North  Korea,
probably Iran and possibly Iraq. U.S. intelligence had  identified well
over 50 nations that were of concern as

2000-04-14 Thread Jim Condit Jr

Dear Alamaine -- The "re-rise" of Jerry Foolwell is related to one thing:
stopping the rise of Pat Buchanan. Fallwell's job will be to keep as many
religious conservatives, against their better judgement, in the Bush camp.
That's all. The Ruling Elite is so afraid of PJB and the anti-WTO coalition
coalescing behind him --that they are willing to destroy forever Falwell's
credibility here with all but the totally brain-dead evangelicals (which may
be a large group). Falwell in one of his last hoorahs anyway due to age.
BUT -- the tip off is that Falwell REPEATEDLY said he would never enter
politics again, and that he had "finished what he set out to do" by 1987.

Along these lines, did you notice that Establishment shill Zogby is putting
out phony polls that Nader is pulling twice as much as Pat Buchanan -- but
both Nader and Buchanan, or course, are insignificant compared to those
OH-SO-POPULAR Gore and Bush.

Of course, the Reform Party leaders will lose, and deserve to lose, if they
don't challenge the phony Big TV network polls and the computerized vote
count. Jim Condit Jr.

PART I
Fluoride, Teeth, 
The Atomic Bomb
4-12-00


The following article exposes the biggest on-going medical experiment ever
carried out by the United States Government on an unsuspecting population.

Although commissioned by the Christian Science Monitor in early Spring of
1997, it has not yet been published. Readers are invited to inquire when
publication can be expected, by calling the Christian Science Monitor at
1-800-288-7090. . . . . . surely the Federal Government would not have
"discouraged" the CSM from publishing such damaging information, information
vital to the health and safety of millions of
municipal-fluoridated-water-drinking sheeplenaw, don't even think
that.


Fluoride, Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb

By Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson © July 1997


Some fifty years after the United States began adding fluoride to public
water supplies to reduce cavities in children's teeth, declassified
government documents are shedding new light on the roots of that still
controversial public health measure, revealing a surprising connection
between fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear age.

Today, two thirds of U.S. public drinking water is fluoridated. Many
municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the government's
assurances of safety .

Since the days of World War II, when this nation prevailed by building the
world's first atomic bomb, U.S. public health leaders have maintained that
low doses of fluoride are safe for people, and good for children's teeth.

That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds of
once-secret World War II documents obtained by Griffiths and Bryson -
including declassified papers of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. military
group that built the atomic bomb.

Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production, according to the
documents. Massive quantities of fluoride - millions of tons - were essential
for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons
throughout the Cold War. One of the most toxic chemicals known, fluoride
rapidly emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the U.S. atomic bomb
program - both for workers and for nearby communities, the documents reveal.

Other revelations include:

Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was
generated by A-bomb program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to
provide "evidence useful in litigation" against defense contractors for
fluoride injury to citizens. The first lawsuits against the U.S. A-bomb
program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the documents
show.

Human studies were required. Bomb program researchers played a leading role
in the design and implementation of the most extensive U.S. study of the
health effects of fluoridating public drinking water - conducted in Newburgh,
New York from 1945 to 1956. Then, in a classified operation code-named
"Program F," they secretly gathered and analysed blood and tissue samples
from Newburgh citizens, with the cooperation of State Health Department
personnel.

The original secret version - obtained by these reporters - of a 1948 study
published by Program F scientists in the Journal of the American Dental
Association shows that evidence of adverse health effects from fluoride was
censored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) - considered the most
powerful of Cold War agencies - for reasons of national security.

The bomb program's fluoride safety studies were conducted at the University
of Rochester, site of one of the most notorious human radiation experiments
of the Cold War, in which unsuspecting hospital patients were injected with
toxic doses of radioactive plutonium. The fluoride studies were conducted
with the same ethical mind-set, in which "national security" was paramount.

The U.S. government's conflict of interest - and its motive to prove fluoride
"safe" - has not until now been made clear to the general public in the
furious debate over water fluoridation since the 1950's, nor to civilian
researchers and health professionals, or journalists.

The declassified documents resonate with a growing body of scientific
evidence, and a chorus of questions, about the health effects of fluoride in
the environment.

Human exposure to fluoride has mushroomed since World War II, due not only to
fluoridated water and toothpaste, but to environmental pollution by major
industries from aluminum to pesticides: Fluoride is a critical industrial
chemical.

The impact can be seen, literally, in the smiles of our children. Large
numbers of U.S. young people - up to 80 percent in some

Silent Sound--Mass Mind Control Technology Now ACTIVE


URGENT!!

NewsHawk® is at this very moment investigating the use of "Silent Sound"
transmissions and/or related EM/RF technology applied as a mass
mood/mind control operation in Northern California: apparently intended
to induce (violent) psychosis in targeted subjects.

Targeted subjects, in this case, would include upwards of probably two
million human beings!!

Experts we have spoken with believe that such mentally destabilizing
signals would, naturally, most strongly and primarily affect individuals
whose grip on mental/emotional equilibrium is less than solid; but
EVERYONE within range of the transmissions would have distinctly
negative reactions to some extent or other.

This activity has been ongoing for most of 1999--with a pause of a
couple of months or so during the summer (the perpetrators were
obviously busy elsewhere!). These signals, primarily in the ULF
(ultra-low-frequency) and ELF frequency range, have been recorded on a
variety of equipment by several researchers and are in the process of
being analyzed.

During the many months these signals have been broadcast, they have been
transmitting TWENTY-FOUR hours a day, EVERY DAY!!

Indications are the ULF/ELF wave is being utilized as a "carrier'
frequency exactly as outlined in the tremendously important article
reprinted below. Other signals riding this carrier wave are apparently
aimed at (negatively) impacting overall states of mind: yet others are
transmitting specific "thoughts", "visions" and commands.

This could well be going on in other regions of the U.S. as well. In
fact, we at NewsHawk® believe this is almost certainly the case and is
very likely a factor in the unheard-of, unprecedented spate of mass
murders which have been occurring throughout the U.S. in recent years.

Highly respected author Alex Constantine, one the the preeminent
researchers into the covert government's MANY "mind-control" projects,
specifically told NewsHawk® that "Silent Sound" transmissions were
directly involved in the Jonesboro, Ark. mass school shootings in March,
1998.

Mind Control With Silent Sounds And Super Computers
From Bill Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
11-5-99
http://www.jeffrense.com/politics5/mindcontrols.htm


The mind-altering mechanism is based on a subliminal carrier technology: the
Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (), sometimes called "S-quad" or "Squad".
It was developed by Dr Oliver Lowery of Norcross, Georgia, and is described
in US Patent #5,159,703, "Silent Subliminal Presentation System", dated
October 27, 1992. The abstract for the patent reads:

"A silent communications system in which non-aural carriers, in the very low
or very high audio-frequency range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency
spectrum are amplitude- or frequency-modulated with the desired intelligence
and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain,
typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones, or piezoelectric
transducers. The modulated carriers may be transmitted directly in real time
or may be conveniently recorded and stored on mechanical, magnetic, or
optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the listener."

According to literature by Silent Sounds, Inc., it is now possible, using
supercomputers, to analyze human emotional EEG patterns and replicate them,
then store these "emotion signature clusters" on another computer and, at
will, "silently induce and change the emotional state in a human being".

Silent Sounds, Inc. states that it is interested only in positive emotions,
but the military is not so limited. That this is a US Department of Defense
project is obvious.

Edward Tilton, President of Silent Sounds, Inc., says this about S-quad
in a letter dated December 13, 1996:
"All schematics, however, have been classified by the US Government and we
are not allowed to reveal the exact details... ... we make tapes and CDs for
the German Government, even the former Soviet Union countries! All with the
permission of the US State Department, of course... The system was used
throughout Operation Desert Storm (Iraq) quite successfully."

The graphic illustration, "Induced Alpha to Theta Biofeedback Cluster
Movement", which accompanies the literature, is labeled #AB 116-394-95
UNCLASSIFIED" and is an output from "the world's most versatile and most
sensitive electroencephalograph (EEG) machine". It has a gain capability of
200,000, as compared to other
