[CTRL] AP: Waco--- The Fix is In
No Gunfire Caught on Waco Tapes The Associated Press Wednesday, May 10, 2000; 7:22 p.m. EDT WACO, Texas A final report on the simulation of the deadly Branch Davidian siege indicates that flashes caught on a videotape were sunlight reflecting off debris, not government gunfire as claimed in a wrongful death lawsuit. Vector Data Systems, the British firm that conducted the March 19 simulation at Fort Hood, submitted its conclusions this week to U.S. District Judge Walter Smith Jr., who is presiding over the Branch Davidian lawsuit. A preliminary report sent to Smith last month gave similar conclusions. By comparing the simulation to videotapes from the last day of the siege, Vector found that the 1993 flashes were caused by reflections off metal and glass, including a helicopter canopy and falling and wind-blown debris. "We were unable to identify any gunfire, either from government forces or from Davidians, from either the (infrared tapes) or other collateral imagery available to us," the report stated. The report also states that no one was seen prior to the breakout of two fires that consumed the compound on April 19, 1993. At least 80 people died during the inferno. "This analysis vindicates those FBI people long accused of shooting into the compound," said Deputy FBI Director Thomas Pickard. "The FBI's long-standing and steadfast position that no shots were fired has now been strongly and independently corroborated." But an attorney for Branch Davidian survivors and relatives, Jim Brannon, said he believes Vector's analysis is "fatally flawed." "Vector was either incompetent or they willfully sabotaged the test," he said. The fire started several hours into an FBI operation intended to end a 51-day siege. The government has long contended the Davidians themselves set fire to the retreat and caused their own deaths, whether by fire or gunshots. Vector was hired to conduct the test by Special Counsel John Danforth, whom Attorney General Janet Reno appointed to oversee an independent investigation into the standoff and fire. A spokeswoman for Danforth said he would have no comment on Vector's report. Danforth's appointment followed revelations that the FBI, contradicting a position it had taken for six years, used potentially incendiary devices on the last day of the standoff. © Copyright 2000 The Associated Press = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Clintons talked of Willey letters
May 11, 2000 Clintons talked of Willey letters By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES The White House yesterday said first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke with President Clinton before the release of confidential letters from former White House aide Kathleen Willey, but claimed spousal privilege and refused to divulge the content of those conversations. Associate White House Counsel Karl Racine, in written responses to questions in a $90 million lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest law firm, acknowledged that Mrs. Clinton "discussed the matter" with her husband prior to the March 1998 release of the letters. Mr. Racine said other White House staff members were advised after the decision was made to make the letters public a day after Mrs. Willey said on "60 Minutes" that Mr. Clinton kissed her, cupped her breast and put her hand on his groin during a November 1993 meeting. But, he said, attorneys for the Clintons said "the substance of the discussions between the president and the first lady would be protected by the spousal privilege." The White House released 15 friendly letters from Mrs. Willey to Mr. Clinton to rebut her accusations of sexual misconduct. She had gone to meet with the president to seek a job because of financial problems caused by her husband, who committed suicide the same day she claims Mr. Clinton assaulted her. Judicial Watch, in its suit in the Filegate matter, sought the identity of those who recommended or helped make the decision to release the letters. The firm says in its 4-year-old suit that the privacy rights of former Bush and Reagan administration officials were violated when the FBI gave the White House more than 900 confidential background files. The Willey letters have been ruled by a federal judge as material to the Filegate suit. Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, yesterday described the White House response as "bogus," and said the firm would challenge the claims in court. He declined to elaborate. Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton was ordered yesterday by a federal judge to conduct a new search for personal and White House records concerning her suspected involvement in the Filegate investigation and, if any are found, to turn them over in the pending suit. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, in a 17-page ruling, ordered that any records not already produced be turned over within the next 20 days. In October 1998, Judicial Watch asked Mrs. Clinton to search for documents it considered relevant in the case, but described her eventual hunt as "legally insufficient." The firm had telephone records, reports, letters, computer tapes and other documents. Mrs. Clinton responded in February 1999, saying the request was "overly broad, irrelevant, unduly burdensome and redundant." She argued the request sought White House records or other official documents not in her possession. Judge Lamberth said that while Mrs. Clinton said she would produce only those documents in her possession, she did not "include in her response any document she does not currently possess, but that she has the legal right to obtain." He said Mrs. Clinton did not say whether records "not in her possession, but still within her control" were ever searched. "Therefore, because both Mrs. Clinton and her defense counsel fail to represent that all responsive documents within Mrs. Clinton's control have been produced . . . the court will order that Mrs. Clinton, within 20 days of the entry of this order, submit a supplemental response," the judge said. "In this response, Mrs. Clinton shall explain in detail the search that was performed, including the locations searched. She shall also clearly assert whether all documents, including those not in her possession, but still within her control, have been produced," he said. The judge also ordered the first lady to "describe the parameters of the search performed" and include a statement that all documents within her control have been produced. He also said some Judicial Watch requests were related to other inquiries, but they could be reviewed because they touched on the misuse of the FBI files. Those include the Willey letters and information on former White House travel office supervisor Billy Dale and Pentagon employee Linda R. Tripp. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational

Not really thinking much about it, I pulled the profile up ... and in big red letters, the word "FROZEN" was at the top of this profile. At first, I thought it was some kind of a joke, but when I went to click the profile off of my screen...I couldn't do anything...I was, as the profile said, frozen. I sat for a few moments thinking the joke would go away and I could continue my time on AOL. This wasn't the way it was going to happen. The only way I could get out was to cntrl/alt/delete. When I was able to log on again, my computer was sluggish so I logged off again. A few hours later when I decided to try again...I clicked on my AOL icon and a warning came up that I would need to reinstall AOL...it had been completely wiped from our system. When Alan got home, he called AOL to see if they could tell what happened.

From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SNET: Drug Control or Biowarfare? Date: Thursday, May 04, 2000 5:31 AM - SNETNEWS Mailing List Talk of conspiracy; see Madeline Albright's attempt to control world and Kissinger lurking in background, is he now cornerning market on drugs USA Clinton Style? Drug Control or Biowarfare? The US is strong-arming Colombia into unleashing the latest weapon in the war on drugs: a powerful new herbicide. But along with killing coca plants, the toxic fungus may pose serious dangers to the environment and human health -- threats so compelling that Florida has suspended plans to test the fungus for its own anti-drug efforts. by Sharon Stevenson and Jeremy Bigwood May 3, 2000 The big American suddenly stood up, leaned over the table and said to the Colombian in a low voice, "Youd better be careful not to talk to the press!" Dr. David C. Sands, scientist and entrepreneur, was meeting with advisors to the Colombian Ministry of the Environment last March to push a new drug-war weapon marketed by his company: a special toxic fungus which would kill coca plants. The Colombian scientist who raised Sands' hackles had pointed out that the fungus could also attack humans with weakened immune systems -- a condition common among the often undernourished and generally unhealthy poor coca farmers and workers in the tropical rain forests of Colombia, where Sands wants to carry out a massive spraying program. "He didn't care," said the Colombian, who asked not to be named. Sands is not the only party pushing this new biological weapon. The US Congress is demanding that Colombia apply the controversial fungus in order to receive $1.6 billion in emergency bailout funds for Colombia's antidrug/counterinsurgency strategy called Plan Colombia. Last March, Rep. Benjamin Gilman, R-N.Y., tacked on an amendment to the pending aid bill requiring President Clinton to certify that the Colombian government "has agreed to and is implementing a strategy to eliminate Colombia's total coca and opium poppy production" using, among other means "tested, environmentally safe mycoherbicides." Myco = fungus; herbicide = plant killer. Steve Peterson, an official with the State Department's International Narcotics and Law Enforcement division, says they want to see mycoherbicides used because they would be "more cost effective and more environmentally friendly" than chemical herbicides. The trouble is that abundant evidence indicates that the only mycoherbicide being considered for this purpose, Fusarium oxysporum, may in fact, in massive application, pose serious dangers to the environment and human health. Florida has put an indefinite hold on its plans to test the fungus for its own antidrug efforts after environmentalists and a state official warned that it could mutate, spread rapidly, and kill off other plants including food crops. And for over a decade, coca growers in Peru have accused the US of secretly applying the fungus there to attack coca plants -- in the process also harming food crops and farm animals. Moreover, the fungus can, under certain circumstances, cause lethal infections in humans with weakened immune systems. None of this, however, has dimmed US government enthusiasm for the project -- nor that of Sands' corporation, which stands to profit if the fungus is adopted for widespread use. Years of US-funded aerial spraying have so far failed to even slow Colombia's thriving industries of coca plants, which produce the raw material for cocaine, and opium poppies, which are used to make heroin. The country's cocaine and heroin production has more than doubled since 1995. The New York Times reported in early May that US-funded spraying of the herbicide glyphosate (marketed as Roundup by Monsanto Company) may have exposed scores of Colombian villagers to harmful toxins and damaged nondrug crops. But the proposed Fusarium program, experts say, could unleash far worse consequences. The UN Cover The Congressional hardball mandating fungus use follows a less coercive approach to push Colombia into playing guinea pig for the first real on-the-ground testing of the toxic Fusarium oxysporum strain called EN-4. The first approach was through a United Nations Drug Control Program-proposed project to establish a research station to conduct field trials for eventual large-scale application of the fungus. Although the UN representative in Colombia, Klaus Nyholm, said the draft agreement is "not what the Colombians want," it certainly reflects what the US State Department wants and has sold to Congress. The proposed agreement turns over results of at least 12 years of research by the US Department of

Joshua2 http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/2509/tech_diaspora.html Jewish Gene Study Reveals Origins By Discovery.com News May 9, 2000 - A genetic analysis of Jewish populations has revealed new clues about their Middle Eastern origins and new details about how the group spread throughout the world, according to today's New York Times. The findings suggest that despite the fact that they dispersed out of Israel over 2,000 years ago, Jews have remained remarkably faithful to "the tribe" - there has been little interbreeding with other groups. Also challenged are claims that the Jewish population is largely composed of outside groups who converted to the faith. The results also suggest that, out of all other groups in the world, Jews are most closely related to Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, with whom they descended from a common population 4,000 years ago. The findings, which were published in today's issue of the Proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences, were reported in the New York Times. The study, which was led by Michael F. Hammer of the University of Arizona, compared the chemical sequence of the Y chromosome among men worldwide. The Y chromosome, which contains the genes that make men men, is passed down from father to son in more or less intact form. As a result, examining its genes paints an almost unbroken picture of one's paternal heritage. Genes in the Y chromosome do change over time among different groups, however, so comparing the Y chromosomes of distinct populations provides a window into how closely they are related. Based on these comparisons, Hammer identified 19 main variations in the Y chromosome worldwide, according to the New York Times. Jews and Arabs descended from a group that shared eight of these lineages. This ancestral Arab-Jewish population, in turn, may have descended from the neolithic groups who first developed farming in the Near East. Hammer closely examined the DNA of Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in large numbers throughout Europe. Despite having been surrounded by non-Jews for 80 generations, the rate of genetic mixture with Europeans was only half a percent per generation, according to Hammer. "It could be that wherever Jews were, they were very much isolated," Hammer told the New York Times. Robert F.

In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin undersigned the law ratifying the agreement which halves the nuclear arsenals of both sides. Washington ratified the treaty in 1996, but it was then blocked in the Russian parliament by Communist and nationalist forces which regarded it as undermining the country's defence capability. The new, more Kremlin-friendly parliament elected in December finally ratified the treaty last month, followed by the upper chamber of the legislative, the Federation Council. Under START-II, Russia will by 2007 reduce its number of warheads to 3,000 and the United States to 3,500. Moscow has warned it may still disregard the treaty if Washington goes ahead with plans to deploy a national missile defence shield in breach of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty. But experts say that Russia will be forced to drastically reduce its nuclear arsenal with or without the treaty since it cannot afford to maintain existing stockpiles of largely outdated weapons. The Russian law also makes provisions for a further START-III treaty on further reductions by 2003. Preliminary talks began last year about this next possible phase of disarmament. Russian currently has about 6,900 warheads. (back to top) 2 Moscow Rejects US Plan To Revise ABM Treaty Agence France Presse, May 4, 2000 Moscow has rejected new US proposals to modify the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty (ABM) to allow Washington to deploy a nuclear defence shield, Interfax news agency reported. "These proposals are not constructive and cannot form the basis for future discussions about this problem," said General Leonid Ivashov, head of international cooperation at the Russian defence ministry, cited by the agency. "They represent an attempt to tear up the ABM treaty," he added. US ambassador to Moscow James Collins announced on April 28 that the United States had presented a draft agreement to Russia on modifying the ABM treaty that would allow deployment of a limited national missile defense system. Moscow considers the treaty to be a cornerstone of Russian defence and world stability and refuses to allow any changes to the agreement, which Washington wants to amend to put in place a missile defence system by 2005. Russia is threatening to leave the START-I and START-II disarmament agreements if the United States violates ABM. The thorny issue is expected to loom large over a summit in Moscow on June 4 and 5 between US President Bill Clinton and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. The United States wants the ABM, which bans construction of missile shields, changed so it can counter possible attacks from so-called "rogue states" like North Korea and Iran. But this argument is "misleading" said General Ivashov, since "it is very unlikely that these states will have the means in the coming years to strike the United States with such weapons."

Giuliani and Hanover, an actress and TV personality, are rarely seen in public together but have refused to answer questions about their marriage. They have two children. The mayor reiterated that Judith Nathan, a woman he has been seen with around town, is a good friend. But he said the attention his relationship with Nathan has been getting led him to announce the separation discussions. He emphasized that he and Hanover were working on "a separation agreement. ... A separation agreement is not a divorce." He added: "She's a wonderful person and an extraordinary mother. I'm very sad. And I feel terrible." Hanover has appeared in films including "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and on TV soap operas such as "One Life to Live" and "All My Children." She also is the host of a program on the Food Network. An assistant to Hanover's spokeswoman said she was not available for comment. Giuliani, a Republican who is running for Senate against Hillary Rodham Clinton, announced April 27 that he has prostate cancer. He recently acknowledged that he was very good friends with Nathan after tabloid reports and pictures about a possible romance. On Saturday, Hanover held a news conference outside St. Patrick's Cathedral before attending a Mass for the late Cardinal John O'Connor. Hanover, who at times appeared to be near tears, thanked those who have offered her support since her husband's cancer was announced. "I will be supportive of Rudy in his fight against this illness, as this marriage and this man have been very precious to me," she said. "The well-being and safety of (children) Andrew and Caroline will be my primary concern in any decisions that have to be made, as has always been the case."

Re: [CTRL] Greg Craig: Elian Drug Charges 'Ridiculous'; Pediatricians Disagree
Everyone who's jumping on the "this is proof they're drugging Elian" wagon ignores the fact that the psychoactives weren't the only meds confiscated. Also reported being found in the medical bag were antibiotics used for urinary infections, skin infections, and other maladies. I don't hear anyone claiming that THESE meds were also destined to be put into Elian. And if these antibiotics weren't destined for Elian's use, there is no reason to presume the psychoactives would be, either...

[CTRL] Illegal Elian: Record 151 Agents used-131 INS 20 US Marshals
from: http://www.spectator.org/ The American Spectator -- June 2000 Illegal Elian Elian's case goes to court tomorrow. In this preview from our next issue, Byron York explains how the INS twisted its own rules to snatch the boy from his Miami family. by Byron York Grover Joseph Rees was stunned when he learned the number of federal agents who participated in "Operation Reunion," the raid to seize Elian Gonzalez from his great uncle's home in Miami. The government deployed a total of 151 people, 131 from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and 20 from the United States Marshals. "That's more than we used to deport Joe Doherty," remembers Rees, who was general counsel of the INS during the last years of the Bush administration. Doherty, an Irish Republican Army terrorist convicted of murdering a British soldier, was arrested in New York and deported to Belfast in 1992. Fearing the heavily armed IRA might stage an attack to disrupt the transfer, American officials made sure they were well-prepared for any possibility. "We took a lot of extraordinary measures," says Rees. "As I recall, there were 20 or 30 FBI agents and one or two INS agents." It was plenty of firepower -- but just a fraction of what was used in the Gonzalez case. In fact, few INS operations -- at least those targeting a single alien -- have involved the level of force used in "Operation Reunion." Last August, for example, the INS in Los Angeles required far fewer agents to capture a suspect named Manuel Escalante, who was accused of killing 19 people in Mexico -- lining them up against a wall and cutting them down with automatic weapons. Nor did the INS assign as many agents to last year's search for Rafael Resendez-Ramirez, the "Railway Killer" wanted for eight murders, whom the agency had once picked up and mistakenly released. Notorious criminals aside, the simple fact that the INS spent so much time on an individual case is highly unusual. In recent years the INS has been stung by criticism that its enforcement work consisted mostly of raiding farms, fast-food restaurants, and other places where undocumented aliens eke out a living. Looking for highly publicized, high-impact busts, agents specifically targeted places where they were likely to find large numbers of aliens -- and spent relatively little, if any, energy on time-consuming efforts to pick up individual immigrants. "One-on-one enforcement is inefficient," a former INS official explains. "They want to create a deterrent effect." In March 1999, the INS announced a plan to de-emphasize job site raids and border patrols in order to target criminals aliens, immigrant-smuggling rings, and document-forging operations. According to an INS statement, the new "Interior Enforcement Strategy" -- emphasizing the mid-section of the country rather than its borders -- was designed to "systematically combat illegal immigration inside the United States by attacking its causes, not merely its symptoms." Enforcement against individual aliens sank even lower down the priority list. Whatever its goal, INS has been plagued by gross mismanagement. Last year Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs reviewed the performance of 15 federal agencies and ranked INS dead last, saying the agency can't seem to get anything done. "Evidence that INS cannot manage its mission is overwhelming," the study's authors wrote. "New immigrants sometimes wait years to have their citizenship applications processed; the backlog of people seeking naturalization is nearly two million. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants enter the United States every year." All of which makes the Elian Gonzalez case more than a little out of character for the INS. The agency acted with extraordinary speed, devoting thousands of man-hours and an extensive show of force to seize a single alien who was not a criminal, was not brought to the U.S. by a smuggling ring, and wasn't trying to stay by using phony papers. Why the case was so important -- so urgent that the INS would throw its own policies and guidelines out the window -- is a question the agency has yet to answer. To Raid Or Not To Raid For weeks before the April 22 raid, there was an ongoing debate inside the Gonzalez legal team. Would the INS take drastic action? Or would it exercise restraint and allow the legal process to take its course? Spencer Eig, the Miami attorney who organized the legal group, tried to reassure his fellow lawyers. "I said, 'I don't think there's going to be a nighttime raid,'" Eig recalls. "Some of our Cuban colleagues said they thought there would be. I attributed that to their experiences with the Castro government and thought they were overly paranoid. I thought the U.S. government was not going to raid an innocent family." Eig's opinion carried particular weight because he had been, until just last year, an experienced trial attorney for...the INS. After stints as an adviser at

CNN refers to the study of the Waco FLIR video conducted by Vector Data Systems -- which claims that there's no gunfire on the 1993 FLIR -- as "an independent study." [1] The term "independent" implies that Vector Data does not work for the plaintiffs or the defendant, which is government. But in fact Vector Data is owned by Anteon Inc, which DOES work for the government, including the FBI. [2] The study is therefore NOT an independent study. I found that Vector Data works for U.S. military intelligence [3] and is even a member of the National Military Intelligence Association. [4] In short, the impression that the public is being given that Vector Data is an independent entity is a total sham, it's part of a Big Lie being perpetrated to coverup mass murder. To further the impression in the public's mind that Vector Data is independent, CNN et al call Vector Data Systems "a British company." [1] They may have an office in Britain, but as an article citing Anteon's purchase of Vector Data states: "Since then, Anteon has acquired Vector Data Systems of Alexandria, Va., in August 1997 and Techmatics Inc. of Fairfax in May 1998." [5] Yes, that is the same Vector Data Systems, a subsidiary of Anteon Inc., being falsely portrayed as an "independent" and "British" company. Every address I can find for Vector Data is in Alexandria, VA, not Britain. Even their webpage domain is registered to Vector Data Systems of Alexandria, VA. This portrait of an objective independent organization being pounded into the public mind, making Vector Data's findings seem to be unarguably reliable, is a pathetically transparent sham being deployed to cover-up a mass murder.

[CTRL] [NA] Elian Child Abuse in Progress!

From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: Jim Condit Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NA] Elian Child Abuse in Progress! Date: Thursday, May 04, 2000 5:23 AM www.networkamerica.org "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." Communist Tyrant Josef Stalin (Listen anytime to Votefraud vs Honest Elections "crash course" radio show over the internet at www.sightings.com in the archives, April 3rd, 2000 show, Jeff Rense host, Jim Condit Jr. guest) May 4, 2000 NA (Network America) e-wire Elian Child Abuse in Progress! This Network America e-wire is beyond Rush, beyond Newsmax, beyond Sean Hannity (of Hannity Colmes on FOX Cable). All of these newscasters and outlets have been doing a cutting edge job of keeping alive hope for Elian Gonzaless freedom; without these sources, Network America would not have the information we have on this case. However, this e-wire will bring forth what the others seem to be leaving unsaid along with some of the excellent items that they are still reporting and saying. To set context, lets look at former New York Congressman John LeBoutilliers excellent column on Newsmax: In the midst of all the furor over the Elian case is a most important question. Why do those of us who are fighting to keep Elian here in America care so passionately about this one little boy? The answer reveals much about each of us. . . . This seemingly insignificant little Cuban child touched the hearts of many Americans because in him we can see the innocence and purity of youth threatened by danger and evil. First came the cruel seas of the rough Atlantic Ocean followed by the obviously dangerous threat of sharks. Then his mother died right in front of him. Can you imagine that scene? The drowning, the screaming, the shouting, the despair? The tears? The not knowing what had happened? The unfulfilled hope that perhaps she would still show up? Not enough people have seriously tried to picture this horrifying ordeal and what a miracle that Elian is alive here in America. His next threat came from Fidel Castro, who declared an all-out effort to bring the boy back to his island prison. Inside that threat is the unstated but obvious plan to "re-educate" Elian, make a terrible example of him and then have him "disappear," as Castros daughter has predicted. And last but not least came the direct and dangerous raid to take a screaming Elian away from Miami and back into the hands of Cuban needle-wielding doctors and brain-washers and security men trained to manipulate and terrify. In the face of all these threats and adversity, Elian remains here in America . . . Those of us who believe that Elian must be allowed to remain here despite the good arguments made in favor of the father-son relationship recognize a simple fact: Elians rights cannot be taken away from him. If he is sent back to Havana, he will have no rights. He will be a slave consigned to a life of hardship, persecution and suffering. America should not be in the business of sending refugees back to that system. . . . We who are fighting for Elian believe his case is a test. In a time of unmatched freedom and abundance has America actually lost something more valuable than material wealth? Have we lost that special quality that made America the leading nation of all time? Have we grown complacent and selfish? Have we grown so self-satisfied with our own lot in life that we cannot empathize with others less fortunate? The ultimate outcome of Elians case will give us an indication of whether the American people are still worthy of those special rights granted to us all. End of quote from John LeBoutillier on Newsmax. Item: Despite his excellent and insightful commentary on the Elain affair, why has Rush Limbaugh stated for the last week that its over, the kids going back to Cuba again and again. Answer: Rush must not step outside his establishment-assigned role (whether he fully admits it to himself or not) as a sound-off safety valve for conservatives, while never really upsetting the evil establishments plans. This its over attitude is the kind of defeatism that afflicts good American citizens almost across the board. Look at what a valiant fight a few Cuban American patriots put up against the entire New World Order occupation government for months. Rush had better stay within the bounds set for him, or he will be toppled from all those 600 stations hes being allowed to be on. Item: George W. Bush has put out the word to Congressional Republicans that he didnt want hearings on the Elian raid, because it might be bad politically. This confirms once again that W. Bush is just as evil as his father, behind all that good old boy smirking. Dont be fooled by the propaganda --- Bush and Clinton
[CTRL] NEW SHAPE-SHIFTING ROBOTS!
A droid for all seasons http://www.newscientist.com/nl/0513/droid.html No job is too unusual for a breed of robots that reinvent themselves IMAGINE an automaton that can design itself, assemble itself and even kill itself. No, it's not the liquid metal robot from Terminator 2--but this droid can certainly build itself to perform a particular task, melt itself down and recycle itself, say researchers in Massachusetts. The scientists have developed what they call a polymorphic robot--a machine that can change its shape to suit the job in hand. Shape-shifting robots could be used as planetary explorers, or for search-and-rescue missions, changing their shape to meet each new challenge and adapting to strange and unpredictable environments. The researchers have produced a simple thermoplastic- framed robot, says Hod Lipson, who developed it with Jordan Pollack at Brandeis University, near Boston. "All the robot has to do is find a way to move," he says. The prototype is very basic and has no sensors, so it is unaware of the world, though sensors could be added at a later design stage. The idea is that a task will be set for the robot, such as: "Figure out how to move using only one leg and one motor." A computer will then attempt to design a body that will help it to meet this challenge most efficiently. At present, the robot's body is built using the "rapid prototyping" technology common in the car industry, which can produce complex three-dimensional structures very quickly. A device called a 3D printer uses a nozzle to build up progressive layers of thermoplastic, slowly creating the required structure Although 3D printers are large and cumbersome, says Lipson, much smaller ones could one day be built into a robot, allowing it to change parts of its body, for example, to reshape an arm to produce a new tool for a novel situation. Mark Yim of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in California says this is one area in which polymorphic robots could be most useful. There's no point in taking an entire toolkit into space, he says, when you don't know which tools you'll need: a single robot arm can be shaped to do the job of all of them. It is also conceivable, says Lipson, that the 3D printing technology will allow several materials to be printed, including conductive, nonconductive and even semiconductive materials. "Wires, motors and logic circuits, as well as structure, could be printed in one pass without the need for assembly," Lipson predicts. With each new task, the look of a polymorphic robot is impossible to predict, because each design is "evolved" using a genetic algorithm. The physical structure, and the neural network that will be the brains of the proposed robot, are treated like genetic information that can be combined and mutated in simulation to produce entirely new designs. The "fitness" of these offspring is then evaluated and the best are "bred" to produce more offspring. This process is repeated many times until the design has evolved to do the best job. To keep things simple, Lipson allowed the algorithm only basic components with which to design the prototype robot: straight plastic bars of varying lengths and electric motors that can extend or shrink the length of a bar. Joints are all ball-and-socket designs, as these are easily created by a 3D printer. From these basic parameters a host of complex--sometimes lifelike--structures have been evolved. Some versions push themselves along on one leg, while others produce a hinge-like motion and crawl about like a fish out of water. Yet another moves sideways like a crab. "The robot is ready to move when it comes out of the printer," says Lipson. Its motor, however, must be inserted by a person. But the aim is to make the robots totally independent, much like the vengeful shape-shifter in Terminator 2. When the robot has performed its task, it offers itself up to be melted down, so its thermoplastic components can be recycled into another useful droid by the 3D printer. The idea of building and melting down robots is novel, says Yim, who makes modular robots that reshape themselves by fitting smaller robots together. "I've never seen anything like it." But he warns that to make truly useful robots, stronger plastics and more materials are needed.

[CTRL] Serbs Mob U.S. Peacekeepers
Serbs Mob U.S. Peacekeepers By Memli Krasniqi Associated Press Writer Thursday, May 11, 2000; 10:06 a.m. EDT PRISTINA, Yugoslavia Serbs mobbed U.S. soldiers with the Kosovo peacekeeping force, slightly injuring one of the Americans before dispersing early today, NATO said. The commander of the peacekeepers denounced the attacks. Elsewhere, thousands of ethnic Albanians packed a hillside just outside the southern city of Prizren for the funeral of a former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army who in the past months had turned to creating peace in the province before being gunned down Monday. The slaying of Ekrem Rexja, better known as Drini, was seen as a setback to U.N. and NATO attempts to reduce tensions in Kosovo. Drini had cooperated with German peacekeepers in the Prizren area and had considerable influence with the region's ethnic Albanian population. Both incidents involving the Americans began Wednesday in Vrbovac, 35 miles west of Pristina. A total of 200 to 300 Serbs "attacked ... U.S. peacekeepers, throwing stones and hurling insults and threats," said NATO. The injured soldier received stitches for a cut in his face. Serbs attacked a patrol of U.S. military police in one instance as they responded to an explosion that destroyed an abandoned house, said the statement. In the other incident, U.S. troops guarding a Serbian Orthodox church were surrounded and attacked before reinforcements "calmed the situation." American soldiers make up 5,900 of the 37,000 NATO-led peacekeepers in the province, sent to Kosovo nearly a year ago after NATO bombing forced a peace settlement in the province. Lt. Gen. Juan Ortuno of Spain, who commands the overall force, denounced the "violence and attacks on my ... soldiers who are here to solely to assist the people create a peaceful prosperous community and region." Elsewhere, near the central town of Glogovac, peacekeepers told residents of the region that they had until Saturday to turn in any illegal weapons after a search of several houses turned up two anti-tank missiles, 20 rocket-propelled grenades and seven grenade launchers, a machine gun and over 60,000 rounds of rifle ammunition. Owners of any weapons found after that would be arrested, NATO said. Near Prizren, about 55 miles south of Pristina, thousands of people gathered around an open dirt field where Drini's body was to be buried. NATO peacekeepers closed off most roads surrounding the site to control the crowds. "I just want to say goodbye," said Ismail Krasniqi, 62. "He was the commander, he was the top person here in the KLA." Drini was killed outside his house early Monday morning by assailants using automatic weapons who shot him nine times. No arrests have been made but people at the funeral blamed their traditional enemies the Serbs. "The hand of the Serbs killed him," said Isa Kastrate, an unemployed 27-year-old from Prizren. "He was really intelligent, a nice guy. The Serbs don't want leaders like that." Still, there was speculation that radical Kosovo Albanians interested in maintaining a climate of uncertainty in the province might have had more to win in eliminating someone bent on reconciliation and peace. Drini had been a senior official in the U.N.-controlled interim Kosovo government. © Copyright 2000 The Associated Press Back to the top A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Big Bizness Wants YOU to Vote
What do you mean by "real democracy"? Only direct democracy is real democracy. So-called "representitive" democracy is a fraud and a sham. It isn't democracy. It isn't even representative, especially as long as artificial people have more representation than real people. We're entering the twentieth century with an eighteenth century system. This thing we have now is a fraud and a sham. What's the difference between allowing the masses to vote for hucksters in CONgress, or allowing them to vote for the scoundrels on the board of directors of the Grunches? Probably not very much (see above) but it would be better than this thing we have now. It would still be a fraud and a sham: a 'choice' between *their* candidates. Your probably right. I could go along with electing delegates, as long as they were recallable at any time and only spoke for us and not for themselves. But really, I prefer to participitate directly in the making of any decision that impacts my life. The tens of millions who perished (under "state-monopoly capitalism") in the Soviet Union had the 'right' to vote too, you know. It did them even less good than it did us. Personally, I never vote for candidates. It doesn't matter who holds office. None of them represent me. I represent me. Anybody who says they do is lying. I do, however, vote on referendums. They're the closest thing to real democracy we have. They don't do a hell of a lot of good, either. My state voted to legalize medical hemp, but the feds still bust care providers and buyer's clubs.

From MindControl-l: PSYOPS personnel at NPR too... May 11, 2000 01:52 PDT Apparently Army PSYOPS personnel worked at NPR as well as at CNN. Emperors-Clothes reports that NPR has admitted it: http://www.emperors-clothes.com/internet.htm The following excerpt is from a CounterPunch article on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's involvement in the "Pacifica board power grab": http://www.counterpunch.org/pacifica2.html [...] In the context of the changes being driven by the CPB, it is worth consideration that the heads of two of the most important entities in American public broadcasting both come out of the government's broadcast propaganda apparatus. As mentioned above, CPB President and CEO Robert Coonrod is a former Deputy Director of VOA, overseeing Radio and TV Marti. Similarly, recently appointed NPR CEO Kevin Klose has been director of the U.S. International Broadcasting Bureau and was president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty from 1992 to 1997. Thus, the question of who controls public broadcasting and toward what end merits the attention of thoughtful listeners.

[CTRL] Salon Article: The Hanging Governor
From Abolish-L: The hanging governor Did execution-happy George W. Bush sign off on the lethal injection of an innocent man? - - - - - - - - - - - - By Alan Berlow May 11, 2000 | On June 22, 36-year-old Gary Graham, who has been on Texas' death row for more than half his life, is scheduled to be executed. If all goes according to plan, Graham, who now goes by the name of Shaka Sankofa, will become the 22nd person put to death in Texas this year, and the 135th since George W. Bush became governor. Although Texas executions have become fairly routine -- 13 are scheduled for May and June alone -- the execution of Graham is certain to prove notable. You wouldn't expect Graham to evoke much sympathy from the governor -- or many people, for that matter. As a teenage thug, Graham went on a weeklong rampage of 22 robberies and assaults. He was found passed out, drunk and naked, in the bed of a 57-year-old taxi driver who accused him of raping her, at which point he was arrested for the murder of Bobby Lambert. Today Graham, who has been taken to the Texas death chamber on three previous dates, insists he will "fight like hell" and "physically resist" efforts to kill him, and he has called on his supporters to "take up arms to defend our rights by any means necessary." Given Bush's near-perfect record of spurning clemency requests in capital cases (he's granted it just once), Graham's anticipated appeal would appear a certain nonstarter. In 1998, Bush denied clemency to Karla Faye Tucker, the cute, white, born-again Christian, despite appeals from the pope and Pat Robertson. In February he signed off on the execution of Betty Lou Beets, a 62-year-old great-grandmother, despite evidence that strongly suggests her own attorney -- who secured literary and movie rights to her story, and later served a three-year federal prison sentence for extorting a bribe in another murder case -- gave her miserable representation. Nevertheless, Graham's case is likely to prove problematic for the governor because the condemned man, unlike Tucker, claims he is innocent. A lot of people believe him. Graham's attorneys will argue that his conviction was based entirely on the testimony of a single witness who picked Graham out of a lineup after first being shown a photograph of Graham by police. Graham's case also resurrects the unpleasant question of whether Bush, in his unstinting embrace of Texas-style justice, has tolerated the execution of innocent people. That question has come up with increasing regularity since January, when Bush's Illinois campaign chairman, Gov. George Ryan, announced a moratorium on executions in his state because 13 innocent people had been discovered on the state's death row since 1977 (more people than Illinois executed during the same period). A supporter of the death penalty, Ryan said, "I cannot support a system which, in its administration, has proven so fraught with error and has come so close to the ultimate nightmare, the state's taking of innocent life." For Ryan, 13 innocents was too many. Shortly after Ryan's announcement, Bush dismissed any consideration of a moratorium on executions in Texas, insisting he is "confident that every case that has come across my desk -- I'm confident of the guilt of the person who committed the crime." Not surprisingly, reporters immediately began wondering how many erroneous death sentences Bush would abide. Seven men have been released from Texas' death row in the past dozen years, including one under Bush, after courts determined that they had been wrongly condemned. Critics claim the only reason more people haven't been released is because the state has already executed them. It naturally raises questions about the guilt of the other people on its heavily populated death row (population 462, second only to California's). Conservative luminaries Pat Robertson and George Will recently got religion on the issue, expressing concerns about the possibility that innocent people may be executed, given that 87 wrongfully condemned individuals have been freed from the nation's death rows since 1976. And Thursday, the newly formed National Committee to Prevent Wrongful Executions, whose members include death penalty supporters such as William S. Sessions, the former Texas judge and FBI director in the Reagan and Bush administrations, will call for a reexamination of the process that leads to wrongful death sentences. A short list of the committee's concerns reads like a legal brief of the problems in the Texas judicial system, including inadequate provision of counsel; short filing deadlines; limits on evidentiary hearings that prevent defendants from presenting new evidence; and the execution of juveniles (such as Graham, who was 17 at the time of the offense) and the mentally ill, both of which Bush endorses. Bush has, of course, found a receptive audience for his strong anti-crime and pro-death-penalty position in Texas. But it is not yet clear how this

Grass and brushfires were burning in the southwest quadrant of the Los Alamos laboratories. Federal officials said that nuclear materials at the lab were safely stored, and protected from the fire. The fire caused evacuations in Los Alamos, Espanola and White Rock -- and prompted re-evacuation of the emergency command post from White Rock to Los Alamos. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and many more damaged by early Thursday, officials said. According to some reports, up to 25 percent of Los Alamos buildings have been engulfed by the flames.

From www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : Asia A man-made crisis Severe drought hits tens of millions across India, Pakistan and Afghanistan By Deepal Jayasekera 11 May 2000 Back to screen version Large parts of India as well as significant areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, where tens of millions of people live, are being ravaged by a devastating drought. It has destroyed livestock herds and forced hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to the cities or to irrigated areas in order to survive. Many who remain behind are in a precarious position without access to adequate supplies of food and clean water, facing the dangers of starvation and disease. In what has been described as the worst Indian drought in a century, an estimated 50 million people are affected in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra in the west and Andra Pradesh in the south. More than 60 cities and 60,000 villages have been hit. Many people are struggling to obtain drinking water, their crops have withered away and hundreds of thousands of cattle and goats have died. A government report has identified 11 states in all that have been affected to one degree or another. The worst conditions are in Rajasthan, which is suffering its second consecutive year of drought. An estimated 26,000 villages and more than 35 million peoplethat is, about three quarters of the state's populationare affected. In some villages, the only access to water is a tanker once a fortnight, providing each villager with between 10 to 15 litres. In Gujarat, a government report has identified 9,421 villages in 17 districts (out of a total of 25 districts)home to more than 25 million peopleas drought- affected. The report projected that the state's food grain production would fall by nearly 30 percent and its output of oilseeds by nearly 50 percent. The livestock population of over seven million head is also expected to plummet. In the state of Orissa, which was devastated by a cyclone and floods last year, around 8,000 wells have completely dried up in the worst-hit district of Bolangir. The local government has begun to close schools and colleges and restrict government office hours. On April 29 a train carrying drinking water from Calcutta to the area was mobbed by thousands of people desperate for water. Inmates in the district's Titlagarh jail rioted after being left without water for two days. Give us water or kill us, they shouted. The situation in the southern areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan is just as grim. Authorities in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan say most of the province's 26 districts are suffering from severe famine as a result of the drought. The provincial governor Amirul Mulk Mengal said there was growing concern for 20,000 families and more than a million cattle trapped in inaccessible areas. Last Monday, Pakistan's military ruler General Pervez Musharraf made a TV appeal for donations to assist drought victims. His appearance came just a day after the governor of Sindh province announced that 127 people had died over the last three months, mostly in the Tharparkar region near the Indian border, as a result of severe water shortages. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people from Sindh and Baluchistan have migrated out of the area. In Afghanistan the World Food Program (WFP) country director Mike Sackett last week warned: There are no walking skeletons yet, but without an adequate response, thousands of Afghans in the southern provinces face a merciless summer after having lost almost all their rain-fed wheat crops and up to 80 percent of their livestock due to lack of precipitation. He announced that the WFP had plans to feed 400,000 peoplethe poorest and most needyfor the coming 12 months. The worst-affected provinces are Zabul, Kandahar, Nimroz and Helmand, where more than four million people live. The immediate cause of the drought is the repeated failures of monsoons, including the post-monsoon period from October to December 1999, and the winter rainfall in January and February this year. But the reasons for the calamity are also man-made. Governments in all three countries failed to take long-term measures to provide secure water supplies to drought-prone areas. Moreover, little action has been taken over the last six months as the developing drought conditions have become apparent. In India, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by the Bharatiya Janatha Party (BJP) only began to allocate some money for relief and to send food, water and fodder for cattle to the affected states in late April. On April 26 the government requisitioned navy warships to transport drinking water to the drought-hit areas of Gujarat. The NDA government is under fire not only in the media and from opposition parties but also from its own political allies. At an all-party meeting called to discuss the drought on April 25, Yerra Naidu, a leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), complained at having received

Post: "" While the United States favors a Nigerian intervention under an ECOWAS mandate, some diplomats and U.N. officials in New York would prefer the West African forces to be under U.N. command."" Ind: "" Admittedly, intelligence officers are having a difficult time. The rebels have captured large amounts of UN uniforms and equipment. It is not easy to distinguish between a Nigerian peace-keeper and a rebel with a blue beret. "" From Wash (DC) Post }}Begin}} U.S. Backs Plan for African Force By Colum Lynch Special to The Washington Post Thursday , May 11, 2000 ; A23 UNITED NATIONS, May 9 The United States will provide transport planes, communications equipment and other logistical support to a Nigerian-led coalition of West African states that announced today it was prepared to restore order in Sierra Leone, U.S. officials said. A team of military officers from the U.S. European Command met with officials in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, to assess what help the regional coalition would need to conduct a military operation in Sierra Leone, where 8,700 U.N. peacekeepers have been unable to prevent the collapse of a 10-month-old peace agreement. "We will support the West African deployment as required," a Clinton administration official said tonight. U.S. and Nigerian officials still need to work out the final details before a final decision is made to send an African army into Sierra Leone. Washington needs to consider the cost, which would be millions of dollars, and may ask other Western countries to help foot the bill, they said. For their part, Nigerian officials said their newly elected president, Olusegun Obasanjo, must persuade the parliament to support the mission. And the U.N. Security Council will meet Wednesday to consider authorizing the force. Even if the force gets a green light from all parties, U.S. and African officials said, it probably will take weeks, not days, for the African forces to arrive in Sierra Leone. "In principle, Nigeria is willing and ready to give assistance," its U.N. ambassador, Arthur C.I. Mbanefo, said in an interview. "There is no way that Nigeria would abandon this situation. . . . But there is no quick fix. And there is nothing that is going to happen in a week," he added. Since May 1, rebels of Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front have seized an estimated 500 U.N. peacekeepers, stolen hundreds of their weapons and shattered the credibility of the largest U.N. peacekeeping mission in the world. The fiasco has fueled doubts about the world body's ability to conduct peacekeeping in Africa and may erode international support for a proposed U.N. observer mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nigeria, a regional power broker that has repeatedly intervened in Sierra Leone over the past decade, would form the backbone of the West African force. But it probably would include troops from Ghana and Guinea, and it would operate under the banner of the regional Economic Community of West African States. In a statement welcomed by the United States, ECOWAS leaders meeting in Abuja vowed today to "use all means at their disposal, including the military option, to foil any attempt to take over power [in Sierra Leone] through the use of force." Nigeria already has more than 3,000 troops serving under U.N. command in Sierra Leone. It is prepared to commit an additional 1,600 to 2,000 soldiers, officials said, to a fighting force with a clear mandate to compel the rebel RUF to comply with the July 1999 peace agreement that sought to end nearly a decade of civil war. Despite American support for the proposed West African force, U.S. officials said they were committed to salvaging the U.N. Mission in Sierra Leone, or UNAMSIL. U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said Washington and Moscow had agreed to help transport nearly 3,000 Indian, Jordanian and Bangladeshi troops to bring UNAMSIL to its full strength of 11,100 peacekeepers. A Clinton administration official confirmed that the United States is willing to ferry approximately 700 Bangladeshi troops, and possibly a Jordanian special operations force of about 300 soldiers or some of the West African troops, into Sierra Leone. "We are going to provide airlift and logistical support," said the administration official. "Now it's up to the United Nations to sequence this, so that as the forces prepare to move into position, we will be able to see who goes first." Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said the United States has stationed the USS Thunderbolt, a special operations vessel, off the coast of West Africa as a precautionary measure. Bacon stressed that there is absolutely no plan to send U.S. "combat troops" to Sierra Leone. But a senior administration official indicated that U.S. transport planes might fly into Sierra Leone's main airport at Lungi, just north of Freetown, the capital. British paratroopers are expected to secure the airport. While the United States favors a Nigerian intervention under

[CTRL] Croatia joins KFOR in Kosovo?:Kupres (part one)
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Copyright 2000 Deutsche Presse-Agentur Deutsche Presse-Agentur May 10, 2000, Wednesday, BC Cycle 09:32 Central European Time SECTION: International News HEADLINE: Croatian troops to join KFOR DATELINE: Zagreb Croatian soldiers will be deployed as peacekeepers with KFOR in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan said in an interview on Wednesday. "Croatian troops soon will join NATO forces in Kosovo," Racan told the weekly newspaper, Globus. The announcement came while Racan was in Brussels negotiating with NATO about Croatia's joining the alliance's Partnership for Peace programme. Kosovo is a province of Yugoslavia, which Croatia split from in 1991, shortly before the Balkans war. The province is now controlled by NATO troops, after their armed intervention against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, because of his policy of ethnic cleansing against the Albanian minority. dpa im ms PART ONE Committee for Collecting Data on Crimes Committed against Humanity and International Law Belgrade November 1998 GENOCIDE AGAINST THE SERB POPULATION OF KUPRES COMMITTED BY MILITARY AND PARAMILITARY FORMATIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA AND THE CROATS OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FROM April 3 TO May 15, 1992 From the military-strategic standpoint, the Kupres plateau is one of the most important areas in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its altitude is 1,200 m above sea level and it covers an area of some 550 sq. km. Geographically, it is a separate entity where Serbs have been the majority population since time immemorial. At the end of the 19th century, they made up 55 per cent of the population, on the eve of World War II - 55.6 per cent. In the course of World War II, Croat fascists - the ustashi - massacred 1 038 Serb civilians, 255 of them being children below 10. In those days, the Kupres Serbs were massively fighting in the partisan anti-fascist movement on the side of Western allies, i.e. in the anti-fascist movement and anti-nazi coalition. More than 500 Kupres Serbs lost their lives in the fighting. In spite of all their sufferings and the crime of genocide committed by Croatian armed formations, Serbs remained the majority population even after World War II. According to the end of the 19th century cadastral books, during the Austro- Hungarian rule, Serbs' property included around 70 per cent of the total land in the present-day Kupres municipality. Serbs, as the majority population, won the municipal 1990 multi-party elections. On the eve of the war, some 50 per cent of the Kupres city population were Serbs, 7 per cent were Muslims, and the rest were Croats. In the whole municipality of Kupres, Serbs were in the majority. When the war broke out in Croatia, a number of young Croats left Kupres and joined the Croatian army, fighting in the Vukovar theatre of war. It was then that the massive arming of Croatian inhabitants of the Kupres municipality first started. In 1991, the Croats of Kupres formed their military units which wore the insignia of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) and Croatian Armed Forces (HOS). Members of these units were well-armed. They openly intimidated the Serb population there. At night, Serb houses and apartments were marked by special signs. At the beginning of 1992, the Croats started to send their families - wives, children and the elderly - away from Kupres and its surroundings, in the direction of Livno and Duvno. Two last bus-loads left Kupres on March 24, 1992. The Moslems did the same, and almost all the men remaining in the city were non- Serbs. Alien uniformed Croats, who appeared in the streets, caused anxiety among the Serb population, who feared that Word War II, when the Serbs from the Kupres area had been massively and most ruthlessly murdered by the Croats, would repeat itself. The Croats then set up control checkpoints at roads leading to Kupres. On 31 March 1992, Croats in uniforms, who had armed themselves in the meantime, broke into particular enterprises in Kupres, seized them and placed their guards around. In the early morning of April 3, 1992, all of a sudden, from the direction of Malovan, some 12 km away from Kupres, detonations and shots were heard. Members of the Croatian army made incursions into Serb villages in the Kupres area and started murdering Serb civilians there, or detaining them, while torching their villages. On the same day, at 6.00 a.m., from the direction of the village of Sujica, where only Croats used to live, an attack was launched by the members of the Croatian HOS and National Guard (ZNG) units and the members of the unit set up by the Sujice Croats, who wore black uniforms with the U sign like the World War II ustashi. The locals who had not

-- PART TWO 4 Detained Kupres Serb civilians were exposed to horrifying tortures in several detention camps in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia until the exchange of May 15, 1992 at the village of Zitnik, near Knin. Their testimonies: 4.1. Witness 453/96-5, born in 1972, resident of Kupres, testifies: ...on April 6, 1992, soldiers with HVO insignia on their uniforms came into our house, arresting me and my father. They took us to the Borac factory and placed us in a machine-room. Before that, for six hours, we were held next to the bodies of killed Stevo Lugonja and Drago Celebic. When taken to the machine-room, we were ordered to take off our clothes and footwear, and we were left in underwear only. They took our personal data and ordered us to go two by two towards Sujice. We were flanked by members of HVO, they were in front and at the end of our column. It was cold and snowing. Thus, naked and barefoot, we were on our way to Sujice, 22 km away from Kupres. On the way, they hit us with butts of their rifles, particularly those among us who were not capable to move further. At a given moment, they singled out Zarko Zivanic from Kupres and, before our very eyes, fired several bullets. He was left dead by the road, and we were ordered to move further and finally entered Sujice. Once there, the Croatian soldiers tied our arms on our back with wire, cursing our Serb and chetnik mothers, threatening to kill us, that we would all end up in the same pits in which the remains of Serbs killed in 1941 had been found. They beat all the arrested tied in that fashion with butts of their rifles and kicked them with their booted feet. They then loaded us as if we were sacks onto a truck and took us to Duvno. We were detained in prison for civilians in Duvno, in the cells down in the cellar. Two or four of us were placed in each cell. I was together with my father, next to us were N.S. and P.S. We were kept there one day only. Throughout, Croat soldiers entered the cells and hit those in until we all fainted. They kicked us with their booted feet, his us with rifle butts, weapon barrels and batons. They would enter late at night and would beat us badly. They said that we would all be slaughtered and that for us, Serbs, there was no life together with Croats and Moslems. Apart from beating us and threatening that we would be slaughtered, the HVO soldiers took individuals out from their cells and forced them to have sexual intercourse. They wanted my father and N.S. to do it, but they refused it. After being exposed to most horrendous beating, we were ordered to leave the prison where we were kept tied with wire, and the whole group was taken in a truck to the village of Brisnik, where there was a pit into which Serbs had been thrown in 1941. By the pit, a group of Croatian soldiers awaited us with wooden sticks in their hands, about 80 cm long and 5-6 cm thick. As we were getting of the truck, tied with wire, they beat, one from the right handside and the other from the left handside, each one of us with these sticks until we fainted. When these soldiers got tired of beating us, others took over and resumed the same job, until all the detainees left the truck. There, we were put in a garage in the basement, they shut the door and released some poisonous gas into it - tear gas or sneeze gas, probably. As a result, we all started weeping, had difficulty breathing , and we were all sneezing terribly. I do not know how long it lasted, but I do know that, at a given moment, they opened the door, and took us close to the Brisnik pit. Once again, we were put on the truck, beaten again, and taken towards Duvno, passing by it and continuing towards Livno - Borova Glava. There also was a pit where Serb population from the Kupres area had found their death in 1941. We passed Livno and the whole group was placed in the detention camp "Lora" in Split. Upon our arrival, on both sides of the entrance gate, Croatian soldiers with peaces of rubber cable, metal pipes 60-80 meters long or pieces of wood in their hands made a cordon and beat us mercilessly when we were passing. Close to me, Petar Spremo from Kupres had his head smashed, and he succumbed after some time. Croatian soldiers then started searching and seized all valuables we had with us: golden rings, wedding rings, money, watches, etc. We were ordered to climb the truck that took us there, and the truck started off in circles, in highest speed, braking suddenly, thus making us smash each other with our bodies, since we were very close one to the other. The truck was also making sudden U-turns to the left or to the right, which again made us smash each other terribly with our heads and bodies. All of us were tied with wire, all barefoot and in underwear. We were then ordered to leave the truck, the wire was taken off our bodies and we were taken into cells. I was in a cell with 12 arrested, among them my father. That cell was of a size 2 x 3 sq.m. The

PART THREE 5 The witnesses have the following to say about the consequences of stay of citizens of Kupres in detention camps in the period from 7 April to 15 May 1992. 5.1. Witness 426/96-53 testifies: ... During my stay in the mentioned camps I had a right rib fracture, a spine injury, a thorax injury. I was examined at Banja Luka and have medical documents about it... 5.2. Witness 42/96-51 testifies: Before I was arrested I weighed 110 kgs and reduced my weight to 75 kgs. My two right ribs were fractured, and now I feel pain in the spine area, kidneys and other parts of my body... 5.3. Witness 426/96-63 says: ...After the exchange the physicians established that my two ribs were fractured as well as the bones in my nose. I had a large number of injuries in all parts of my body but mostly in the head area which is why I fainted several times. Even now I feel excruciating pain in my head. I remember well that they broke both of N.K.'s forearms in several places. We had to help N. relieve himself for he could not do it himself... 5.4. Witness 333/95-23 testifies: It took me about a year to recover from the consequences at Banja Luka. I still feel these consequences. I have all the necessary medical documents to prove this. When I was taken captive I weighed 94 kgs and when I was released only 58 kgs... 5.5. Witness 334/97-19 states: ...They broke my left forearm, my lef shin, 4 left ribs and they knocked out 9 teeth from my upper and lower jaws. After the exchange I stayed at the Military Medical Academy (VMA) for 21 days and I think they have all the medical documents attesting to the injuries I sustained during my stay in Croatian camps. I feel terrible consequences of the injuries sustained even today... 5.6. Witness 547/96-40 testifies: ... During my stay at the camp from 6 April until 15 May 1992 I received blows which cause terrible pain in the area of the breast, back, legs and all other parts of the body. 5.7. Witness 547/96-29 testifies: ... They beat me particularly in the area of the kidneys so that ever since both my kidney have been damaged as a result of their blows. I wish to point out once again that even today I feel terrible pain in the area of the kidneys and my back as a result of the blows I received during my stay in the mentioned detention camps... 5.8. Witness 426/96-51 states: During my stay in the mentioned camps they fractured two right ribs and my spine, kidneys and other parts of the body are still painful even today... 5.9. Witness 333/96-4 testifies: ...Apart from the many injuries which I sustained I think the worst was the one I received during the beating on the firing range in Split because I was then hit in the head with a bowling ball, I was gravely injured and had a bloody wound and I lost a lot of blood... 5.10. Witness 333/96-6 testifies about the consequences of the blows he received in the head and face during his stay at the camp in Ljubuski: ... As a result of these blows I could not open either eye. My sight deteriorated after this so I had to have an operation on my right eye on 13 December 1995 at the Municipal Hospital in Subotica. To prove this I have with me the letter of discharge from the Eye Ward of that hospital, record number 616... 5.11. Witness 333/96-10 testifies: ...As a result of torture and beatings as well as conditions of stay at the camps my health status has seriously deteriorated. These are some of the medical documents, seven in total, which show that my 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th ribs were fractured on the left side of which some were fragmented and some dislocated. Three right ribs were fractured as well. My vertebra are injured, and as a result of all I have experienced I have a high blood pressure, Angina Pectoris and other physical and mental changes. The horrendous consequences on physical and mental health of Serbs from Kupres and its surroundings who have survived and who were in a variety of ways sadistically tortured in the detention camps in the village Stipanici near Duvno, in Duvno, Brisnik, LORA in Split and in the detention camps near Zadar, at Vrgorac and Ljubuski from 3 April to 16 May 1992 are also attested to by the Report of the Mental Clinic of the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade titled "Ill-treatment of Kupres Serbs during incarceration by the Ustashi from April - May 1992" (case 281/97-5 enclosure 25). A number of Serbs were killed in the course of terrible torture or died following sadistic torture in Croatian camps: 1. Djordje Vukovic, died following terrible beatings in the camp in Ljubuski, then his body was doused in petrol and put to the torch (evidence:234/95-6). 2. Petar Zubic, tortured at the detention camp LORA in Split and then murdered (evidence: 333/96-6). 3. Stojan Zubic, born in 1925 in the village Blagaj, father's name Gojko, died as a result of torture on 10 May 1992 at hospital in Knin (evidence: 453/96-5, 281/97-3). 4.

[CTRL] What's wrong with this picture? CEO's warn of high worker wages.
5/10/00 The richest, most overpaid layer of corporate fat thinks everyone else is making too much money in this cycle of boom. I don't see any of these clowns taking a voluntary pay cut. Do you? If enriching the people who create the wealth and do the REAL work is detrimental to the system, then why do we tolerate this system? Joshua2 === CEOs on workers wages xxx CEOs warn on wages U.S. corporate leaders say booming economy adds wage pressure May 11, 2000: 7:21 a.m. ET http://cnnfn.com/2000/05/11/economy/wires/ceos_wg/ WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (Reuters) - Executives from large U.S. corporations say a note of caution about the booming U.S. economy was emerging due to concern that a continued scarcity of workers in a tight labor market would create wage pressures. The Business Council, a group of more than 300 executives, said business conditions were now either stronger or little changed from six months ago. But like many economists in the private sector, they forecast a slowdown later this year. Some of the business leaders saw inflation picking up, but most said their companies had little pricing power. Citigroup Inc. (C: Research, Estimates) Chairman Sanford Weill, who serves as the vice chairman of the council, said Wednesday that 67 percent of its members felt that they did not have much pricing power and 73 percent did not see the situation improving. Although the group's members may not be seeing as much pricing pressure as U.S. firms overall, there were a lot of examples where costs were rising as the longest-running U.S. expansion continues and it remains difficult to hire people in many areas of the industry, Weill said. He noted construction costs as one of those examples. Labor market conditions either remained tight or tightened further from last year and few members expected conditions to improve, almost all of the council members said. [IMAGE] "I see maybe a little bit more caution, not less optimism. That's not a contradiction in that nobody here would have expected the economy to be this good (for this long)," said William Esrey, chairman and chief executive of Sprint Corp. (FON: Research, Estimates) in a press conference. "So you begin to see a couple cracks and we're not sure where the first coat of paint makes it go away or if there is something deeper that is going to continue to develop. We are aware of a bit more caution and a redoubling of efforts (from last year)." The caution was a result of the duration of the U.S. economic expansion and signs of increasing wage pressures and other costs beginning to peek through, Esrey added. At a meeting in the West Virginia mountains, the group said they were raising salaries and offering stock options and other perks to compete for workers. They were also investing in labor-saving technology. The forecasts come as the United States enjoys its longest-running economic boom. To ward off inflation in times of robust growth, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates five times since June and is widely expected to lift rates by half a percentage point when it meets on May 16. The U.S. inflation rate likely will remain in a 2.0-3.9 percent range longer-term. One-third of the council members believed inflation would hover at the high side of this range. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan "Greenspan has taken the position of as 'steady as it goes' with 25 basis point rate hikes. I think they are going to begin to have some effect. We are already beginning to see (the economy) cooling off," Weill said. "With the economy growing at such a rapid rate and coming close to full employment it is appropriate for the Fed to put the brakes on. If it lets it alone and (the economy) runs away, it will be a larger problem in correcting." Executives were cautious about prospects for global growth, but said Europe and Asia, except for Japan, held the best growth opportunities for their companies. Eastman Kodak Co.'s (EK: Research, Estimates) George Fisher said revenue growth outside of the United States was coming back good for them, noting that China was very robust. Michael Dell, head of Dell Computer (DELL: Research, Estimates), also said Asia was particularly strong for his company, with China growing 100 percent. The executives all made a strong call for the government to grant China normal trade status. The outlook for Brazil, which has recovered from its currency devaluation, is "very, very good," Weill said, adding that Argentina and Mexico were also doing well. He also said Asia was doing very well, with changes in Japan -- once they are implemented -- creating a more welcome atmosphere for foreign capital. Citigroup is increasing its penetration of businesses in emerging markets substantially, Weill added. DuPont Co. (DD: Research, Estimates) Chairman and Chief Executive Charles Holliday Jr. said companies may have to go to different areas for new opportunities as cautious signs emerge in the U.S. economy.

Victims of mind control are kept in line through the use of psychotronic/non-lethal weaponry. They don't kill you with these weapons, they torture you with them. They can enforce extreme behavior modification programs through the use of these weapons to "reward" desired behavior, and "punish" undesirable behavior, by inflicting pain on the mind control target, and "disabling" the individual. Clearly, this may be a blatant attempt to destroy incriminating evidence and records. Since security at this facility was so piss poor they leaked nuclear secrets to the Chinese, it can only be assumed that the non-lethal technologies were leaked as well. The victims of mind control and psychotronic weapons harassment are becoming better organized. This is not the first indication that the perpetrators of these programs are getting nervous. It is, however, distressing to be faced with the fact that they will go to any length necessary to destroy evidence in order to escape accountability.

[CTRL] Los Alamos Burns To Ashes In Fire Set By Gov't
-Original Message- From: NewsHawk Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, 12 May 2000 03:42 Subject: Los Alamos Burns To Ashes In Fire Set By Gov't 5.11.00 Los Alamos Burns To Ashes In Fire Set By Gov't Los Alamos, New Mexico, and nearby White Rock are literally burning to the ground. The towns, comprised of over of 18,000 people, are primarily populated by those who work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, are going up in flames as of his writing. The laboratory itself has also been scorched and is likely to suffer severe, extensive damage from the fire. Now here's the "interesting" part. This fire was actually set by the government: according to news reports from the area, it was ignited as a "controlled" burn by the National Forest Service last week. Now just a minute. Tinderbox drought conditions in this region of the country had ALREADY been responsible for a number of severe blazes in New Mexico and neighboring Arizona in the past couple of weeks. And these Einsteins go out and set a supposedly "CONTROLLED" fire, only miles from a national laboratory with nuclear and other massively toxic materials all over the place! Does something seem just a LITTLE bit wrong with this picture? It sure as hell does to me. Here in the coastal mountains of northern California, for example, a good deal less flammable than the semi-desert area around Los Alamos by ANY measure, a controlled burn would NEVER be torched off in such prevailing drought conditions. Was the forest service perhaps manipulated into setting off this blaze by some unseen agency, for the very purpose of incinerating this entire area to ruble and ashes, INCLUDING the laboratory? And, there's another related angle to consider. In August of 1995, wildfires of unprecedented ferocity consumed thousands of acres of pine woods and brush on Long Island--in close proximity to Brookhaven National Laboratories. Although rumors held that the fire was started by either a careless hiker or by an arsonist, information brought out by independent investigators on Long Island revealed a VERY different story. Information brought out by these investigators and made public in our report: "Montauk Air Force Station: Active or Not?" showed that the PRIMARY blaze in this area, known as the Westhampton Pine Barrens, was set off by malfunctioning top-secret particle accelerator/particle beam systems equipment, located near Brookhaven National Laboratories UNDERGROUND in the surrounding pine woods. Although various theories to complicated to go into here do exist as to WHY the ultra-classified equipment went haywire, there is little doubt that this IS in fact what happened. Secondary blazes WERE in fact set by covert operatives to provide a "smokescreen" as to the real causes of the original fire. It seems at LEAST a possibility that something similar has occurred at Los Alamos, especially when one factors in the extremely peculiar--or is that stupid?--action taken by the Forest Service in igniting a "controlled" burn during the exceptionally dry conditions which have been prevalent in this near-desert region. I would say there is a strong likelihood the National Forest Service was prompted to set this blaze near los Alamos National Labs to cover up SOMETHING perhaps, as at Brook haven National Labs in 1995, to cover up a fire started by malfunctioning particle accelerator/particle beam equipment.

(AP) _ A firestorm swept through the abandoned streets of Los Alamos today, burning at least 100 homes while frustrated firefighters ran short of water and were forced to retreat. At least 18,000 people were evacuated from Los Alamos, including 7,000 in suburban White Rock this morning, where many evacuees had once sought safety. "We weren't ready down here. We were the refugee center for our friends," Kirk Christensen said as he and his wife loaded their camper and headed into a sea of cars crawling down the highway. They were headed for a friend's house in Santa Fe, to camp in the yard. No injuries have been reported, but President Clinton declared New Mexico a major disaster area.

Explosives and radioactive material were protected in fireproof facilities, lab officials said. "We can assure the country and New Mexico that our nuclear materials are safe," said Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, a former New Mexico congressman.

[CTRL] Civil War In Miami?
Civil war in Miami? The battle over Elián has led non-Cubans to threaten secession, and to back a recall drive against the mayor. - - - - - - - - - - - - By John Lantigua May 11, 2000 | MIAMI -- The threat of secession is dividing the deep South. A confederacy of Miami voters, incensed by the Elián González affair, is pressing for a recall of the Cuban-American mayor, and, possibly, a partition of the city. "If we can't live with them -- I mean with the radical Cuban element -- then let's live without them," says Annette Eisenberg, a fomenter of what has become known as the Bayshore Secession movement. According to the rebels' plan, the predominantly non-Cuban neighborhoods that hug Biscayne Bay -- including the liberal enclave of Coconut Grove and the downtown business center -- would break away from Miami and form a city known as Bayshore Miami. On Thursday the action in the Elián saga moves to Atlanta, where lawyers for the Miami González family on one side and Elián's father on the other will battle in federal court over the boy's right to be considered for political asylum. Whatever the court decides, the hearing will keep alive an issue that many Miami residents are ready to see resolved. The idea of a Miami confederacy is a long shot. Attempts to divide or dissolve the city have failed in the past due to legal technicalities and the voting power of Cuban-Americans who don't want to cede relatively affluent areas of the municipality. On the other hand, a movement to recall Cuban-American Mayor Joe Carollo is dead serious, its supporters say, and it may have political legs. They are organizing in the wake of a series of divisive moves by Carollo after the federal government removed Elián from the home of his Miami relatives April 22. First, Carollo ordered the city manager, Donald Warshaw, to fire Police Chief William O'Brien after learning that O'Brien knew ahead of time about federal plans to snatch the boy, but didn't notify him. When Warshaw refused to do so, Carollo canned Warshaw. O'Brien then resigned. "I refuse to be chief of police when someone as divisive and destructive as Joe Carollo is mayor," O'Brien announced. Those events sent City Hall and the largest city department, the police, into turmoil. But the mischief wasn't over. Warshaw briefly fought his dismissal and accused Carollo of having violated the law in the past by secretly requesting illegal surveillance of 20 people -- city commissioners, political foes and journalists, including the publisher of the Miami Herald. Carollo denied those accusations, breaking new ground in hyperbole, in a town known for hyperbole. "These are outrageous lies," the mayor said. "Warshaw is the most evil man I have met. He makes Rasputin look like a child." Some citizens challenged Carollo's comparison between Miami and czarist Russia. They preferred the term "banana republic," and delivered bunches of bananas to the front steps of City Hall as tribute to the mayor. But most people aren't joking. Many non-Cubans in Miami are outraged that strictly Cuban political issues have been allowed to unhinge their civic affairs and have led to the firing of experienced non-Cuban public servants. Both the police chief and city manager were replaced by Cuban-Americans, creating an ethnic stranglehold on power in the city, and angry non-Cubans blame Carollo. Several citizens' groups have cranked up the recall campaign. The activists include George De Pontis of Coconut Grove, a chief political strategist in Carollo's past campaigns for city commissioner and mayor. "I've always been in his corner in the past. But Miami really needs leadership right now and what is the mayor doing? He's throwing gasoline on a smoldering city," De Pontis said. "Many people who have lived here all their lives are getting the message that this is not their city. Many feel they are not being represented," De Pontis said. The recall campaign is targeting six Miami neighborhoods, including the Carollo stronghold of Little Havana. "We feel that even there you'll find large numbers of Cuban-Americans for whom this has all been an embarrassment," he said. This week, members of the recall movement applied for legal recognition as a political action committee from the state government in Tallahassee, the first step in any Florida recall movement. They say they will soon start circulating petitions. De Pontis said they need 6,000 verifiable signatures to achieve the first legal requirement, but they are aiming to get 6,000 in each of the six neighborhoods. With 35,000 bonafide signatures, the Carollo opponents can then demand a citywide vote on whether the mayor should be recalled. If Carollo loses that vote, he must stand for reelection. Neither Carollo nor his spokesperson was available for comment on the recall Wednesday. In relatively affluent Coconut Grove, where residents pay 15 percent of the taxes and receive only five percent of the services, the movement should be

From http://www.newswatch.org/May%20stories/Quantum%20confusion.htm }}Begin}} Quantum Confusion The media loves Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty theory, do they really understand what he said though? By Trevor Butterworth May 9, 2000 After a vaguely promising debut in 1998, The New York Times "Arts and Ideas" section has often gone wanting in the big ideas department; so it was a pleasant surprise to be arrested by a bold article on the new literary zeitgeist by Pultitzer winning Times' critic Michiko Kakutani on April 22. All was fine and perspicacious until readers hit the following paragraph: "This is a literature at home with relativity and the Heisenberg principle of uncertainty, a literature that embraces subjectivity and chance, and the blurring of lines between the real world and the virtual." A careful copy-editor, armed with either "Fashionable Nonsense," a popular book that debunked the scientific pretensions of the lit-crit crowd, or a basic understanding of physics, might have wondered just what that jumble of theory meant, in a literal sense. Does Kakutani mean relativism or physical relativity? After all, Einsteinian relativity is not even close to being a synonym for relativism or subjectivism, and the uncertainty principle only applies to the sub-atomic realm not the everyday world of phenomenal facts. Furthermore, neither theory has been made fully commensurable with the other: Einstein being famously committed to a realist view of the universe and the quantum physicists (Copenhagen interpretation, school of) being commited to the idea that at the sub-atomic level, one can only speak of potentialities, among other things It's really hard to see how the new stars in the novel's firmament are inculcated with such deep theoretical issues, particularly as few, if any, were science majors. Now it could be argued that Kakutani was just swooshing oil and water around to extend the metaphorical range of science, and sure, dont we all really know what she meant anyway (so stop being so literal minded); but such points aside, the fact of the matter is this: No scientific theory has been so eagerly adopted and so grievously abused by the media as the German physicist Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (a.k.a. the indeterminacy principle). Here's John Podhoretz from the May 5 New York Post "Bush and his team have clearly grasped a central truth about the kinds of poll data that have made Republicans hesitant to go head to head with Democrats on these issues. They have understood the political application of the 'uncertainty principle' explained by physicist Werner Heisenberg. Polls are snapshots in time. Public opinion can change and does change when politicians enter the arena and alter the existing dynamic." Sounds a lot more profound than "politicians have the power to change and mold existing public opinion," doesnt it? Heres another snapshot of Heisenberg at work in Campaign 2000, this time from the March 12 Baltimore Sun: "On this day, the third layer of the bubble around candidates - the media -was omnipresent: cameras trained on his every move, long boom microphones picking up his every word. Inside the media bubble, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is in full flower: these observers certainly affect what is observed. Amid such scrutiny, it is virtually impossible for anyone to interact with the candidate in a natural, spontaneous way." Some might call this the art of dealing with a press scrum out to expose your every gaff and misstep, but then they wouldnt be grasping the scientificity of the situation, would they? Were patience a virtue, one could keep on and digging up examples from Nexis, and adding anecdotes from book tours, conferences and lectures. Heisenberg has infiltrated journalistic thinking about journalism to an astonishing degree as an all-purpose, handy metaphor for the rather mundane point that sometimes the presence of an observer can influence those being observed. To put it better, its the MTV "Real World" effect are they acting for the camera or behaving as they would if they werent on TV? In a related manner, Heisenbergs uncertainty turns into a scientific explanation about why one apparently cant be an objective observer, and so becomes a permanent get-out-of-jail-freecard: "Dont blame me for distorting the story, its the uncertainty principle!" As author Susan Orlean told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Jan. 27, "I hate the pretend objectivity of some journalism - that omniscient, third-person voice. I spend so much time with my subjects that I'm bound to have an effect on anything I observe. It's a bit like the Heisenberg Principle in physics - so why not acknowledge it by putting myself in the story?" Trouble is, none of this relates to Heisenberg, or quantum mechanics or the uncertainty principle at all. At its most basic, the uncertainty principle states that you cannot precisely measure the dynamic attributes of a

[CTRL] *Book says Carter ET investigation scuttled!
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, 12 May 2000 11:11 Subject: IUFO: *Book says Carter ET investigation scuttled! - IUFO Mailing List http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal051102.html *Book says Carter ET investigation scuttled May 11, 2000 08:15 CST Add to the reports and legends of presidential experiences with UFO and ET issues a new book that describes President Jimmy Carter's encounter with government cover-up. Written as a serialized electronic book by a former Stanford Research Institute (SRI) futurist, "Exopolitics" reports that a White House study of extraterrestrial communication was "secretly suppressed at the behest of Pentagon officials" in 1977-78. Author Alfred Webre alleges that the effort to cut off the study was led by the Defense Department liaison at SRI. It was to have been undertaken jointly by the National Science Foundation and SRI's Center for the Study of Social Policy. Webre says he was to have been the principal investigator for the study. Webre writes that the Carter White House incident is part of what he terms exopolitics-"the process of government and politics in the Universe." "Is there intelligent life in the Universe?" the author asks. "In fact, the truest conception of our human circumstance may be that we are on an isolated planet in the midst of a populated, evolving, highly organized inter-planetary, inter-galactic, universal society. Earth is isolated because we are in intentional quarantine by a structured, rational universe society." Webre's context communication theory of extraterrestrial intervention was first introduced in his earlier book "The Age of Cataclysm," published by Putnam's in 1974. He's frequently consulted by national and international media on commentary and near space issues. In the summer of 1999, Webre appeared on over 60 media programs in the U.S. and elsewhere on issues of near space catastrophe. Another book is a work of futuristic political journalism, "The Levesque Cases," published in 1990 by PSP Books, Ontario. EXPOLITICS is published by Universe Books, (http://www.universebooks.com).

Re: [CTRL] Los Alamos Underground Alien Base.
I was wondering if there was an underground base. -Original Message- From: Jon Locke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, 12 May 2000 10:22 Subject: DavidIcke2000 Los Alamos Underground Alien Base. One of the greatest fears of the NWO/Illuminati is that some natural disaster such as an earthquake would open up the earth and everyone could see the aliens who live adn work in underground bases. Los Alamos is a well known entry point to an alien/grey underground base. Could the fire been an attempt to kill off some of the aliens? There is an element within the military who are aware we have been invaded by aliens, but are not willing to roll over for them. Several attempts to kill the aliens have been attempted. In one encounter one aline was shot and killed. But the remaining aliens used mind power to collaspe the heads and then brains of the humans. The aliens allowed one human to live to carry the message of what happened to his superiors. After that, the US MJ-12 decided to stop helping the aliens abduct people in exchange for technology. But another element within the CIA wanted to maintain their unholy alliance with the aliens. The beat goes on. Another clue, the fire could have been sent as a message to outer space.

When we were at the fire on Sunday, the flames were visible miles awayand with the capricious wind, it was a no-win situation for the firefighters.

Numerous red blood cells, white blood cells, and unidentified cell types have been found within the sub-micron fiber sample previously presented and submitted on Jan 20 2000 to Carol M. Browner, Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. To date, Ms. Browner has refused to identify the sample delivered to her by certified mail, and to disclose those results to the American public. A visual analysis has now been conducted with a professional quality microscope on May 7 2000 that reveals the important discovery above. More information and images from this analysis will be presented in the future. Depicted above is one of two remarkable discoveries of clustered red blood cells which become readily visible after being subjected to immersion oil. The cells appear to be of a freeze-dried or dessicated nature in their original form within the microscopic fibers. Isolated and individual blood cells are interspersed throughout both of the samples which have previously been described. The surface of the cells appear to be modified in some way, but electron microscopy will likely be required to establish further detail. Professional medical analysis of the images and chemical analysis of the fibers, and the subsequent disclosure of those results, now exists as a fundamental need. The individual that provided the images herein and those that will follow shall remain anonymous. I was a witness to the events that have been recorded. The source material for the images presented herein has been duplicated and distributed to numerous locations across the United States, and it is secured by various methods.

[CTRL] The Ruling Cabal
Part of message received about the recent shooting death of an unarmed man in New York City by 4 police officers. (41 bullets fired. The man was hit 19 times). "an occasional overreaction by police is virtually unavoidable given the state of upheaval in the cities. Urban America is a war zone and getting worse." ___ Reply to the above: YES...PRECISELY!IT WAS PLANNED TO BE THIS WAY! A couple years back, the San Jose Mercury News ran the story about the CIA bringing drugs into the country and using the inner city street gangs as the marketing arm of the operation on the streets. As you recall, that story touched off a firestorm of controversy and official denials. The newspaper fired the reporter. Later, additional factual material surfaced that showed he had reported the facts. The Black Caucus in Congress initially called for a full-scale congressional investigation, but they were quickly silenced! Congresswoman Maxine Waters was a guest on a live radio talk show when all this was happening. She said she was "outraged" that the CIA would be connected to thiswith all the suffering the crack cocaine had caused "her people in Los Angeles". I called in to the program and said: "You say you are outraged and that you have just found out about this. wake up and smell the coffee congresswomanthis has been going on since the early days of the war in Vietnam and has been well documented... how could you not have known about it?" She blew a fuse! She said in an angry voice that she had not known and it was outrageous of me to suggest that she did and so on ButI digress. Here's a quick summary. Drugs have long been used as a device to weaken and destabilize societies. Read the history of the British using opium against the Chinese. The Brits got the Royal Colony of Hong Kong as a result of the "Opium Wars". France had "French Indo-China" as a colony for 100 years. That territory included the famous "golden triangle"...which is the richest heroin producing area in the world. Go rent the movie "The French Connection" with Gene Hackman for some more details on this lucrative business for France. But Ho Chi Minh kicked the French out in 1954 when they lost the famous battle of Dien Bien Phu. Sowhat happened to the flow of drugs from that area? Did it stop? Of course not.it just flowed through a new channel. The French Connection became the American Connection. (Actually the CIA connection). That's what "Air America" was all about. Congressman Henry Gonzales of San Antonio, TX (now retired), spoke openly about some of this back during the Reagan Administration. Gonzales said that U.S. aircraft were flying cocaine out of Columbia and Nicaragua and that the planes were landing at U.S. military bases including some in Texas. That set off a firestorm of controversy. Both newspapers in San Antonio ran front page stories calling for Gonzales to resign for saying such a thing. And then..a funny thing happened. Eugene Hassenfus was shot down and captured in Nicaragua. He was flying a planeload of drugsdestination Homestead AFB Florida. It all came out in his trial and confession in Nicaragua. More of it came out in Iran-Contra. There's more.there's a lot more. But the point is the "War on Drugs" has been phony all along. It has been used to shred the Bill of Rights. It has been the "created problem"built into crisis proportions in order to apply "the solution". It's done in such a way that most of the people don't even object to what's happeningin fact they DEMAND that the government DO SOMETHING! "Make it go away.make us secure. Build more prisonsmore policemore courtsmilitarize the police... whatever it takesbut make the problem go away!" It's called "The Hegelian Principle".and it works! The drugs and the crime problem in America are no accident. The "Urban American war zone" didn't just happen. It was planned to happen. This same pattern and variations of it have been used repeatedly to achieve the ends desired by what Winston Churchill called "the Ruling Cabal".

The following has been reported almost from day one of the events at Waco...but reported only by the "underground media" and never by the alleged national news media. Four BATF agents were killed in the initial assault on the Davidian Church in February of 1993. Each of the agents had served as bodyguards for Bill Clinton during the primaries and first general election in which he was elected president. Videotape taken life at the scene during the raid clearly showed agents climb up a ladder to get on the roof. One agent laid down on the roof with his weapon in a ready position, while 2 or 3 other agents smashed out a second story bedroom window. They climbed in through the window. Then the other agent who was still lying on the roof outside the window, got up and went to the window. He threw something inside and then fired into the room with his automatic or semiauto rifle. At that point about 4 or 5 holes suddenly appeared in the wall. This may have been gunfire from inside or shrapnel from an explosion, as from a grenade. The point is, he clearly fired in through the window and into the room that 2 or 3 agents had just entered! I have seen that tape many times.

[CTRL] Gee...Amongst English-Speaking Stern Is 1st In Miami!
Think his stance regarding Elian is a factor/
Bill.
Face the music - Elián gave Spanish station a big boost
May 10, 2000
The Elián Gonzalez contretemps might not have been good for South
Florida, but it was a boon to at least one Spanish language radio station.
News/talk WAQI (AM 710) saw its average audience share jump more than 36
percent and it soared from seventh to second overall in the Miami-Fort
Lauderdale market in Arbitron's winter ratings book.
The survey was taken during January through March, when Elián's fate was
practically the only topic of conversation on talk radio.
However, the dominance of urban contemporary WEDR ("99 Jamz," FM 99.1) is
impervious to outside forces. Not only was WEDR again No. 1 among all
listeners 12-plus (the industry standard for the entire audience), as it has
been for three years, it also was tops among listeners 25-to-54. This segment
is nicknamed the money demographic because it is the one most sought by
advertisers.
There was little other significant movement among the market's
most-listened-to stations.
Easy listening WLYF ("Lite," FM 101.5) was third in 12-plus, followed by
dance hits WPOW ("Power 96," FM 96.5), Spanish hits WXDJ (FM 95.7),
contemporary hits WHYI ("Y-100," FM 100.7) and Spanish hits WAMR ("Amor," FM
107.5). Tied for eighth were Spanish hits WRMA ("Romance," FM 106.7) and
urban contemporary WHQT ("Hot 105," FM 105.1). The Top 10 was completed by
smooth-jazz WLVE ("Love," FM 93.9) and classical WTMI (FM 93.1), which tied
for 10th. All were Top 10 stations in the fall book; only their rankings
changed slightly.
The continuing Top 10 presence for WTMI could prove crucial. An ownership
change is expected to be approved by the Federal Communications Commision any
day now.
There is rampant speculation that new owner Cox does not plan to keep WTMI
the market's only classical outlet. However, any format shift would be
measured against the potential to improve on WTMI's current performance.
Among listeners 25-to-54, the top five after WEDR was filled out by WXDJ,
WLYF, WHQT and WHYI. WZTA ("Zeta," FM 94.9), WFLC ("The Coast," FM 97.3) and
WBGG ("Big," FM 105.9) tied for sixth and WRMA, WLVE and WMGE ("Mega," FM
103.5) tied for ninth.
The Elián controversy also seemed to be a factor on English language
radio, where Neil Rogers abandoned his free-ranging irreverence to comment
and field calls on otherwise all-sports WQAM (AM 560).
Rogers always rules between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in his target audience of
men 25-to-54, but he also enjoyed significant spikes in other categories. His
audience share was up more than 20 percent in 12-plus, as he jumped from a
tie for eighth to fourth. Among all listeners 25-to-54, he soared from 10th
to second, as his share increased by more than 30 percent.
News/talk WIOD (AM 610) also saw its ratings rise 20 percent and its
competitive position improve from a tie for 19th to No. 15 among listeners
12-plus. It also claimed the distinction of being the market's highest-ranked
English language AM station.
WQAM, which generally makes this claim, wound up tied for 19th despite the
boost from Rogers. It did hold its No. 4 ranking in its target demo of adult
males.
Howard Stern's nationally syndicated morning drive show on WBGG had one of
its best showings since entering the market. The New York-based Stern was
third in 12-plus (first among English stations but behind WAQI and WAMR).
However, among both genders 25-to-54, he was tops in addition to his
runaway dominance among his target, men 25-to-54.
WQAM's new competitor in sports talk, WAFN ("The Fan," AM 1700), failed to

[CTRL] Elian doctors practicing without license?
[As I posted previously, I felt Elian had been drugged. --MS] THE BOY WITHOUT A COUNTRY Elian doctors practicing without license? Physicians' group fears drugs used to recondition 6-year-old By David M. Bresnahan © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com A prominent national group of physicians claims Cuban doctors treating Elian Gonzalez are practicing without a license, and is asking state officials to step in and force them to stop. Jane Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, told WorldNetDaily she believes the doctors from Cuba are not licensed and may be using drugs to condition Elian before he appears in court. She said a letter of complaint would be filed today in Maryland. Elian, 6, suffered a traumatic seizure when he was taken at gunpoint in a frightening raid by government agents, according to Orient. She said she does not trust the "glowing reports" from unnamed government-appointed doctors that Elian has not suffered any adverse effects from the raid. "The child's being treated by Cubans who are not licensed to practice in the United States," said Orient. Does she believe Elian has been given drugs to control his behavior? "Sure," she said. "They may be using drugs, or maybe they're just using manipulation, isolation, seclusion, and threats and promises. I mean, how do you find out what's going on in there?" U.S. marshals at the Aspen Institute in Wye, Maryland, are holding the boy under guard. Many Cubans have been permitted to be with him, but lawyers, doctors, the press and even elected officials have been prevented from observing Elian. Drugs were confiscated from the Cubans as they entered the U.S. and again when they left, according to several press reports. Orient said one drug involved was Meprobamate, which is also known as Miltown. "I don't think it's used very much in this country at all anymore. It's certainly not supposed to be used on children," Orient explained. She said it is an anti-anxiety drug used to "calm the person down and make him more amenable to whatever suggestions his keepers want to make. I suppose for many people it just has a mind-numbing effect." Insulin was also confiscated by U.S. officials, which caused Orient concern. "Certainly that's a method of psychological torture, or even life threatening to induce insulin shock in somebody," she told WorldNetDaily in a phone interview. "What we're going to do now is, we're calling on the state of Maryland to throw those Cuban doctors out. The State Department may have let them in, but it's up to the states who can practice medicine in individual states," said Kathryn Serkes, spokesperson for the group. Orient has already asked Attorney General Janet Reno to prevent the Cuban doctors from treating Elian on the grounds that they do not have a license to practice here. Her letter has gone unanswered, so now she is taking her complaint to the state of Maryland. Orient sent letters to Reno and Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner, Doris Meissner, asking them to disclose the names and backgrounds of all government-appointed medical personnel involved in the treatment or evaluation of the boy, including psychiatrists and psychologists. There has been no response. "We are extremely concerned about Elian's physical and emotional well-being. Based on the experience of the past two weeks, we're not confident that the glowing reports from anonymous government doctors of the boy's easy adjustment following a traumatic seizure at gunpoint are indeed, unbiased, or for that matter, first-hand," said Orient in the letters. Elian's personal doctor has also expressed great concern over what has happened, and she has not been permitted to see Elian since he was taken and placed in seclusion. "The bottom line is, you've got Dr. Lydia Usategui who was legally treating the boy with the permission of the guardians. She was tear gassed the morning of the raid. Then Elian's handed over to Cuban doctors who are in this country practicing illegally. So if the feds won't do anything about it, we're going to the state of Maryland and calling for them to tell these doctors that they can't practice in the U.S. without a license," explained Serkes. Both Usategui and her husband Alfred Manrara were present during the government raid to take the boy by force. "On the day of the raid by federal agents, Lydia was on the back porch of Lazaro's home and had a submachine gun pointed at her as she was told to lie on the ground and look down, then they sprayed pepper gas at her as they departed," explained Manrara in a written report provided to WorldNetDaily. "Her intention had been to be inside the home next to the child to witness (as a psychiatrist) how the Justice Department would do the removal of the child from his Miami family (never imagining that it would be violent or with such brutal force)," wrote Manrara. "However, as the federal agents approached the

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 8, 2000 Contact: Eric Thomas Pete Kasperowicz 202/822-9491 USA*ENGAGE Cites Importance of China PNTR Vote on Upcoming Congressional Report Card Washington, D.C. Signaling the significant emphasis that the business community will be placing on the upcoming China permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) vote, USA*ENGAGE today announced that the vote would receive "double counting" on its next Congressional Report Card. The USA*ENGAGE - National Foreign Trade Council Report Card, also issued in 1998 and 1999, grades Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on individual voting records on issues affecting international trade, unilateral sanctions, and global engagement. The report card has been widely recognized as one of the most accurate, fair and bipartisan representations of where Members of Congress stand on the trade issues of greatest interest to Americas business community. "The China vote wont quickly evaporate into the political fog. Rather, it is a vote that will change history. PNTR is the most important trade vote that any Congress has faced for many years. A double count is clearly warranted," said Bill Lane, Washington Government Affairs Director for Caterpillar, Inc. and Chairman of USA*ENGAGE. Lane indicated that the next edition of the report card would be issued prior to this summers party conventions and the fall campaign season. For the first half of the 106th Congressional session 14 Republicans and 10 Democrats in the Senate received "A" or "A+"; and 67 Republicans and 25 Democrats in the House received "A" or "A+." "The report card has been a useful reference tool to help companies identify both Members that are supportive of the trade and engagement agenda, and those that more readily embrace sanctions and isolationism. In the 1998 election, it is no coincidence that every Member of Congress who received an A or A+ rating, and then ran for reelection won," Lane concluded. USA*ENGAGE is a coalition of 670 small and large businesses, agriculture groups and trade associations working to seek alternatives to the proliferation of unilateral U.S. foreign policy sanctions and to promote the benefits of U.S. engagement abroad.

[CTRL] Secret White House phone recordings
May 11, 2000 Secret White House phone recordings High-tech mike permits officials to eavesdrop on staff conversations By Paul Sperry © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- In what sounds like something from one of Ian Fleming's or George Orwell's books, President Clinton signed off on the installation of eavesdropping devices on the phones of White House staffers, WorldNetDaily has learned. The secret bug means there's a strong likelihood that audio-tape recordings of personal White House phone conversations, as well as White House staff meetings, exist -- unbeknown to investigators who have subpoenaed all media containing information relevant to their probes of several White House scandals. Clinton has denied the existence of tape recordings. But that's not all. At the same time, the president had "a special box" installed on his and his top aides' phones so that their phone conversations and meetings could not be recorded using the same technology, says the technician who ran the White House phone operations for several years. Despite the high-level safeguards, the Secret Service objected to the phone eavesdropping devices, arguing they posed a serious national security risk. Indeed, the FBI has been investigating allegations that Israeli spies penetrated the White House phone system, as first reported by Insight magazine last week. The changes were made after Clinton, in a surprise move, hired ATT to replace a five-year-old phone switch in the White House, along with the software and all the desk phone hardware, soon after he took office. All the changes, which included turning off software features that record the dialer of overseas calls, were completed by 1996. The switch was brought on line in 1994. "White House officials went to ATT and Bell Labs and had them develop a special box to put on these phones for some of the very top people, so this (eavesdropping) couldn't be done," said former White House phone manager Sheryl Hall in an exclusive interview with WorldNetDaily. "It's only some of the phones that have this special box on them," which blocks the remote recording feature, she added. "They (Clinton and top aides) can look down, but no one can look up." The rest of White House staffers are vulnerable to having their phone conversations recorded from remote locations elsewhere in the White House. Meetings in conference rooms can also be recorded via the new phone system, Hall says. So, although the recording feature has been blocked on Clinton's Oval Office phones, there could be a record of his conversations with staffers in conference-room meetings. "With the switch they have now at the White House, you can turn those phones on from another area, and it becomes a microphone in that room," Hall said. "It's a big security risk, and the Secret Service will attest to that. They didn't want this switch because of that," she added. "So it's possible to turn on the phone (and) record what's being said in the room." During a year-long probe of possible White House espionage, FBI counterspies have "uncovered what appears to be sophisticated means to listen in on conversations from remote telephone sites with capabilities of providing real-time audio feeds directly to Tel Aviv," said Insight, citing a U.S. official familiar with the FBI probe. The suspected spying included foreign eavesdropping on phone calls to and from the White House and National Security Council. "Details of how this could have been pulled off are highly guarded," the report went on. But according to a U.S. intelligence source, "the access had to be done in such a way as to evade our countermeasures. ... That's what's most disconcerting." Hall says the new phone system, which cost more than $25 million, can record conversations for instant review from remote sites. "Because it's more computerized, and has a lot more capabilities, the microphone can be turned on (and) you can record in most of the OEOB (Old Executive Office Building) and the new building (Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where Vice President Al Gore's offices are located). Wherever there are conference rooms, you can record what's in there," Hall told WorldNetDaily. "It technically has the capability to go from that room to the disk, on the (phone) switch, and send it somewhere, and print it off and look and see who said what and at what time of day," said Hall, a career civil servant who worked in the White House from 1992 to 1999. Clinton has maintained all along that, unlike President Nixon, he installed no listening devices in the White House. Nixon resigned after the high court forced him to hand over Oval Office tapes on which he could be heard approving a cover-up of the Watergate break-in. In fact, Clinton first denied the existence of any recordings the same year ATT's new PBX switch went on-line in the White House. In a March 8, 1994, news conference regarding the Whitewater investigation, Clinton was asked if he knew of
[CTRL] BREAKING: the columbia connection-algore big oil
The Colombian Connection: Al Gore Big Oil NewsMax.com http://www.newsmax.com Friday, May 12, 2000 Its a major scandal waiting to break, the story of a Colombian tribe of Indians, a major oil company and the vice president of the United States. In a startling expose in the current issue of The Nation, writer Ken Silverstein uncovers the shocking tale of Gores historical super-close connection to the giant Occidental Petroleum company, its ongoing attempts to despoil the Uwa tribal ancestral homeland, and the shady role the Clinton administration is playing behind the scenes. And the expose is given more weight in view of the fact that it appears in an ultra left-wing publication one would expect to be backing ultra liberal Al Gores presidential bid to the hilt. Briefly, the dispute, which turned violent when Colombian security forces used tear gas against members of the tribe demonstrating against Occidentals drilling plans, resulting in the subsequent death of three children who drowned when fleeing the melee, involves the companys plan to drill on Uwa tribal land, which the company believes holds 1.4 billion barrels of oil worth about $35 billion in todays prices. Interestingly, in view of Gores pretensions to be a dedicated environmentalist, one of the principal objections to Occidentals drilling is its record of disastrous oil spills from its Caño Limon pipeline, just north of U'wa land and repeatedly bombed by guerrillas. The spills, Silverstein reports, have badly polluted rivers and lakes. "The Colombian Oil Workers' Union published a report in 1997 saying that Caño Limon is the best example that petroleum exploitation should not be permitted [on the Uwa reservation] at any price," he wrote. Silverstein says the Uwa opposition to Occidentals plans represents something of a last stand. "A 1998 report by Terry Freitas one of three U'wa supporters from the United States killed by leftist guerrillas while visiting the tribe's territory last year says that the Colombian government stripped the tribe of 85 percent of its land between 1940 and 1970, he explained. He quotes Roberto Perez, president of the Traditional Authority of the U'wa People, as saying: "The key issue for indigenous groups is defending our territory ... The Occidental project is an affront to our livelihood, our lives and our culture." Gore has repeatedly refused pleas from fellow Democrats to meet with Perez. Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, for example, told Silverstein she wrote to Gore and asked him to meet with U'wa leader Perez and to support an immediate suspension of the Occidental project. "I am concerned that the operations of oil companies, and in particular Occidental Petroleum, are exacerbating an already explosive situation, with disastrous consequences for the local indigenous people," she wrote. "I am contacting you because you have remained silent on this issue despite your strong financial interests and family ties with Occidental." She wrote to Gore again on March 30 to complain about his failure to answer her previous letter. Finally Gore sent her a note saying he simply didnt have the time to meet with Perez. Most fascinating is the historical connection between the Gore family and Occidental Petroleum, in which Gore holds about a quarter of a million dollars worth of stock in trust for his mother. The connection goes back to Gores fathers close relationship with the late Armand Hammer, Occidentals founder and the son of Julius Hammer, the man who founded the U.S. Communist Party. For all of his life, Armand Hammer remained close to the murderous Joseph Stalin, his successors and the entire Soviet leadership during the Cold War. He also remained close to Albert Gore Sr., and later to Al Jr., bestowing his largesse lavishly on both. Hammer, Silverstein notes, liked to brag that he had Gore Sr. "in my back pocket." When Gore Sr. retired from the Senate in 1970, he got a $500,000-a-year job at a subsidiary of Occidental as well as a company directorship. When the elder Gore died, his estate included hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of Occidental stock. In the 1960s, Silverstein reports, the Gores discovered zinc ore near land they owned in Tennessee. "Through a company subsidiary Hammer bought the land for $160,000 - twice the amount offered by the only other bidder. He swiftly sold the land back to Al Gore Sr. and agreed to pay him $20,000 a year for mining rights. Gore Sr. then sold the property for $140,000 to Al Jr., who has gotten a $20,000 check just about every year since, although Occidental has never mined an ounce of zinc or anything else on the property. In 1985, Al Jr. leased the property to Union Zinc, a competitor of Occidental. In his book, "Witness to History," Neil Lyndon, an employee on Hammer's personal staff and the ghost writer of his memoirs, revealed that whenever Hammer he came to Washington he met with Al Gore

These rules require that you represent your clients "with zeal" (Rule 4-1.3) and that you "may not withhold information from a client to serve the lawyer's own interest or convenience" (also Rule 4-1.3). Even though I have been covering this story for NewsMax.com, I am also a lawyer familiar with the ethical mandates of our mutual profession. Congressional staff have told me that you yourself have admitted to them that you will not file with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals certain papers that would prove the misconduct of the Attorney General of the United States because you fear "the political fall-out" that would result from any embarrassment to her. Alerting the 11th Circuit to such misconduct is crucial, as you know, in securing your client, Elian Gonzalez, the full measure of the due process and all the remedies available to him in this appellate court. Your reluctance to take on this Justice Department frontally and fully appears to stem from the fact that you a) were a past political supporter of and fund raiser for Janet Reno, b) were the beneficiary of Reno's political patronage when she appointed you to be her U.S. Attorney here in Miami in 1993, despite news reportage at the time that you had no background in prosecution and criminal law, c) were former counsel for the Democratic Party, and d) have represented and may still represent individuals alleged to have made illegal campaign contributions to the Democratic National Committee - the very same contributions Janet Reno refuses to investigate. Further, the Assistant Chairman of the Miami Dade County Democratic Party has told me, in front of another witness: "I brought Kendall Coffey into this case because of who he is." Later in the conversation, held right in front of Lazaro Gonzalez' home days before the illegal raid, this same Democratic political operative said: "There are certain things that our team will not do on behalf of Elian and the family because it is not good to anger your enemies." Last week, Judge Andrew Napolitano presented to the nation on the pages of The Wall Street Journal the scholarly legal argument that the raid was based upon a "tissue of lies." In that article, which has been circulated to all the staffs on Capitol Hill, Judge Napolitano mentions Miami lawyer Richard Sharpstein, who became part of Elian's and the family's legal team more than a week ago. Judge Napolitano explained that Mr. Sharpstein would be arguing to the 11th Circuit the various ways in which the illegal actions of Reno and her Justice Department would provide a basis for affording Elian relief. But such arguments have not been made. You are the one who has not allowed them to be made. Why? Because you are apparently, as indicated above, beholden to a local Democratic Party establishment, chock full of Reno loyalists, who would make it difficult for you to earn a living representing the types of people you represent if you were to zealously represent Elian and in a way that would embarrass Reno and undo her "tissue of lies." You don't have the stomach to go belly to belly with this Attorney General, because of the personal inconvenience it would cause you. You are unable to represent your clients with zeal because of past and continuing allegiances. You should have declined representation in this case because of
[CTRL] NW: More than you want to know about Donato
From: http://www.newsweek.com/nw-srv/printed/us/na/a19686-2000may11.htm Newsweek May 11, 2000 The 'Fisherman' and His 'Bride' More on the life of Donato Dalyrmple By Catharine Skipp and Joseph Contreras When the six-month custody battle over Elián González resumed in a federal appellate court in Atlanta on Thursday morning, one person was conspicuous in his absence. Donato Dalrymple, the man who once took credit for rescuing the Cuban boy off the coast of Florida, was nowhere near the courtroom. Dalrymple, of course, figured prominently in the April 22 pre-dawn raid that wrested the six-year-old boy from his Miami relatives. As a federal agent brandishes an assault rifle, the little boy was captured in a photo holding onto Dalrymple, whose image is frozen in a snapshot of open-mouthed fear. Overnight, Dalrymple's image was splashed across television screens, magazine covers and newspaper front pages. Then came the awkward questions about his past. It turned out that Elián's real savior wasn't Dalrymple at all; the hero of the tale was actually his cousin Sam Ciancio, who dove into the ocean to save Elián. Dalrymple, who had been commonly identified as a fisherman, in fact had never fished prior to that November morning. He has also faced questions about his marital past. Dalrymple may be reluctant to discuss the topic for good reason. Newsweek has learned that in 1984, he walked down the aisle with a 14-year-old Broward County girl who was two years shy of the minimum marital age under Florida law. Dalyrmple initially told Newsweek that he had only taken out a marriage license and claimed he called off the nuptials when he discovered the bride's age. "She was five feet eight inches, 135 pounds and she looked 24 years old," he says. Now, Dalyrmple says he took part in the wedding ceremony after being "threatened" by the bride's mother, but insists that the marriage had no legal standing because it was never formally registered with the Florida government. The bride and her parents admit that she altered her birth certificate to make her appear 16 years old and supplied false information to authorities on the wedding license application form. The bride's mother denies threatening Dalyrmple and the family maintains that he was fully informed of her age. The ill-fated marriage of Donato Anthony Dalrymple and Virginia Andrea Hando had its origins in the neighborhood church where the two worshipped. A devout Christian, Dalrymple had just turned 24 when he saw Ginny Hando singing in the choir of the Apostolic Lighthouse Church of Pompano Beach, Fla. in the spring of 1984. From the very outset, the girl's parents, Virginia and Donald Hando, took a shine to the young man, whom his friends called "Dee Dee." "He didn't drink, he didn't do drugs, he didn't smoke, he was a good kid," recalls Ginny's mother. By Mrs. Hando's own account, she always knew the sweethearts had arrived back home because they "would sit in the driveway praying. We were very impressed with his walk with God." So impressed, in fact, that they gave Ginny their consent to marry Dalyrmple and helped her conceal her age because she was just 14. (Parental consent doesn't override Florida's minimum age requirement of 16). Newsweek obtained a stamped marriage record issued by the clerk of Broward County, dated November 10, 1984 and signed by a Pentecostal clergyman named John T. Baker confirming that Dalrymple married Ginny Hando. The bride says three hundred relatives and well-wishers attended the ceremony. Afterwards, the couple left for a Caribbean honeymoon cruise-accompanied by Dalrymple's parents-in-law. The marriage lasted barely a month. Ginny Hando and her parents say that Dalrymple mentally and physically abused her during the cruise. Ginny Hando, now 30, is still angry when discussing Dalrymple. "I was very young and he put me through a lot of hell," she says. Dalrymple denies ever having abused Ginny Hando. The newlyweds called it quits for good over the Christmas holidays of 1984. The couple never sent in the marriage certificate to Broward County and Dalrymple tore up the document. Without such a filing, the marriage was never recognized by the state. Today, the tattered remains of the certificate are in Ginny Hando's possession. As far as Dalyrmple is concerned, that's all that's left of the fiasco: "I was never married to her." © 2000 Newsweek, Inc. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a

Maybe Elian is smuggling MILTOWN into this country "I don't think it's used very much in this country at all anymore. It's certainly not supposed to be used on children," Actually with the popularity explosion of the BENZODIAZAPINE family of tranqs, meprobamate ISN'T used much anymore...however it IS still used...and (horror of horrors) it's widely regarded as one of the most effective ways to foil the polygraph test! Insulin was also confiscated by U.S. officials, which caused Orient concern. "Certainly that's a method of psychological torture, or even life threatening to induce insulin shock in somebody," she told WorldNetDaily in a phone interview. Oh sure!

Elian's personal doctor has also expressed great concern over what has happened, and she has not been permitted to see Elian since he was taken and placed in seclusion.

There IS a difference...Joe Mendez MD of Miami would have SERIOUS credibility issues. Both Usategui and her husband Alfred Manrara were present during the government raid to take the boy by force. WOW! Who exactly, besides me, WEREN'T there? Oh enough already! This article is a JOKE...and it's sentiment a pathetic excuse for journalism. Bill.

Re: [CTRL] 10 Reasons To Legalize ALL Drugs
Weel, Bill, glad to hear that you are vocal for legalization. I favor the widespread availability of drugs of every kind, as long as people are able to make informed decisions about the effects such things have on the body and are not forced to partake or bombarded with propaganda from the pro's or con's. I think that what one does to one's own self, EVEN IF HARMFUL to one's self, including suicide and drilling a hole in your head, as well as amputating limbs just 'cause you can't stand having them any more, should not only be legal but should be the norm. Personal fulfillment is more than just going to work for the man and being forced to make do with the poor quality of "approved" highs. If a woman can abort a fetus (and I think she has the right to do so, though I don't particularly like the idea of it) then certainly someone should be allowed to take a possibly "dangerous" drug (which probably is not dangerous at all. Anyways how many people die from illegal drugs every year as compared with "legal" drugs (pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco)? I'll bet they aren't even close!
