[CTRL] Reform Convention report
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "Lloyd Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reform Convention report Date: Friday, August 18, 2000 11:03 PM Delegates and Conventions by Burton S. Blumert Delegates to political conventions rank amongst the lower forms of animal life. They are mindless adherents who fit Lenins description of movement followers as "the swamp." They know nothing of the struggles around them, and are never part of the true decision process. They are viewed with contempt by the real party operatives, who keep them at arms length except when soliciting their labor. In real world political conventions, the delegates, aside from the prestige they feel at winning the assignment, are rewarded with gifts, favors, celebrities, and best of all sumptuous parties. All that is required of the delegate is that they follow orders and bring an ample supply of adulation to the combination revival meeting and rock concert they call a convention. In this environment, the delegate, like a moth to flame, seeks out every TV camera. Unfortunately, they are generally uglier than the population at large. All of the above was true for the Reform Party delegates at the recent presidential nominating convention in Long Beach except that gifts, favors, celebrities, and sumptuous parties were missing. Still, the Buchanan delegates brought plenty of adulation for the candidate. With hardly a whimper, the patient Buchanan delegates endured the entire first day of the convention jammed together, first in the vestibule outside the main hall and then in different rooms awaiting delegate certification. The air was foul as the air conditioner succumbed to the torrid heat outside. Without full comprehension, these worthies knew that their suffering was related to the presence of the "rival faction." One sad soul described the ten hours as being in one of "Dantes lower circles of Hell." As a Buchanan delegate from California, I marched in lockstep understanding the need for the painstaking care as the courts or the FEC were likely to review the proceedings. Much of day two was devoted to the one-sided parliamentary struggle between the Buchananites and their triangle of enemies. Finally, with all secure, it was time for the convention program Snapshots and Soundbites Prior to Buchanans nomination, and the four "keynote" endorsers, the program could not have been more dismal. My personal low point was the appearance of "Granny D." Granny is the nonagenarian who trekked across the country promoting campaign finance reform. That seemed safe enough, but she used her 70 minutes (!) of prime time to harangue us all with a commie interpretation of the history of the reform and progressive movements in the United States. After forty-five minutes she began to extol the greatness of the evil Teddy Roosevelt, and how he smashed uncontrolled corporate power. I broke ranks. "Put the commie back on the highway," I mumbled. It got worse. She was mouthing every socialist platitude. By now, out of control, I rose, fist in the air, shouting: "Throw this old windbag out." Just as I seemed to be gaining support from the California delegation, other delegates physically subdued me as the California state chairman muttered through clenched teeth, "Dont create a scene. The C-SPAN cameras are covering everything." As they pinned me to the ground, I relished the headline that might have been: "Buchanan delegate beats up 90-year-old woman." Overheard in the Pennsylvania delegation: "Which one is Justin Raimondo?" "Hes standing to the right of the podium." "Good lord, he looks like Madeline Albright." "No, no, that's a convention clerk. Justin is the nice looking, slim fellow next to her." Poor Justin. His anti-war, pro-Pat speech was a barnburner. As he neared the crescendo that would have pushed the delegates to frenzy, convention chairman Gerry Moan frog- marched him from the podium. Why was Justin yanked? Theories abound, but my insider says that a KLA operative disguised as an ex-journalist issued the order. In the hotel elevator, I found myself with a fellow delegate laden with "Go Pat Go" buttons and pitchfork. Cowering in the elevators corner was a Natural Law Party devotee clearly attempting to put the pitchfork in transcendental terms. "Hah!" I shouted to the miserable, terrorized clump. "What do you say about Pats bold move in selecting a black woman as his VP?" "Your Buchanan is a repressed slave master," he hissed. "Huh?" was my best response. "He covets our black women. First Lenora Fulani, now Ezola Foster, and maybe Maxine Waters next." And from the Buchanan Brigadier, the burning question: "If Pat dies, and shes president, where will her loyalties

Young women in Sweden, Germany, and Australia have a new cause: They want men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from concerns about hygiene- avoiding the splash factor- but, as Jasper Gerard reports in the English Spectator, "more crucially because a man standing up to urinate is deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading women." One argument is that if women can't do it, then men shouldn't either. Another is that standing upright while relieving oneself is "a nasty macho gesture," suggestive of male violence. A feminist group at Stockholm University is campaigning to ban all urinals from campus, and one Swedish elementary school has already removed them. In Australia, an Internet survey shows that 17 percent of those polled think men ought to sit, while 70 percent believe they should be allowed to stand. Some Swedish women are pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year-old Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on standing. "What else can I do?" said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits. - A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Brief exposure to nicotine makes lasting mark on the brain
FOR RELEASE: 24 AUGUST 2000 AT 00:01 ET US University of Chicago Medical Center http://www.medcenter.uchicago.edu/ Brief exposure to nicotine makes lasting mark on the brain Brief exposure to low levels of nicotine, as little as that provided by a single cigarette, can cause lasting changes in the brain's "reward" areas, report two University of Chicago scientists in the August 2000 issue of the journal Neuron [ http://www.neuron.org/ ]. The finding is a major advance in understanding the process of nicotine addiction. The researchers discovered that nicotine uses a mechanism responsible for learning and memory to enhance the connections between one set of nerve cells that are sensitive to the drug and other nerve cells that register pleasure. They also demonstrate that the first exposure to nicotine can induce an enduring "memory trace," which amplifies the pleasing effects of the drug -- and boosts the desire to repeat the exposure. By uncovering the precise cellular mechanisms of nicotine's effect, this study suggests new and more precise targets for drugs designed to block this powerful craving. "This appears to be the crucial first step in the process of addiction," said neurobiologist Daniel McGehee [ http://neurobiology.bsd.uchicago.edu/faculty/McGehee.htm ], Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of anesthesia and critical care at the University of Chicago and director of the study. "Now that we know how this happens, we can begin to search for better ways to intervene." The reinforcing effect [ http://www.bmjpg.com/data/tobarch/autumn98/fromama.htm ] of nicotine is the primary reason people cannot quit smoking, despite widespread awareness that smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema, bronchitis, vascular disease, cataracts, impotence and many other health problems. Nicotine dependence has been estimated to cause 70 times more deaths in the United States than all other types of drug dependence combined. Nearly 25 million Americans alive today will die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses. "Nicotine addiction makes millions of people suck carcinogens into their lungs over and over again, day after day," said McGehee. "If this knowledge leads to new ways of helping people quit successfully, it will be an important step for public health worldwide." The brain reward areas serve to acknowledge and reinforce beneficial behaviors, for example eating when you're hungry. The system encourages the body to repeat pleasing behaviors by releasing dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with the pleasant feelings, in the reward areas. "That was good," is the basic message of increased dopamine levels. "Do it again." Unfortunately, drugs of abuse, such as nicotine, can usurp those pathways, providing the same sort of encouragement for some very harmful actions, such as smoking. They also do this by stimulating the release of dopamine. McGehee and his colleague, post-doctoral researcher Huibert Mansvelder, PhD, working with brain tissue from rats, demonstrated how nicotine takes control of the reward pathways. Nicotine alters the connections between neurons using a process that is similar to the cellular mechanisms underlying the creation of memory. "In this way," Mansvelder said, "the brain erroneously learns that the intake of nicotine was good and remembers the sensations it caused." The ability to remember things, such as pleasant sensations, is thought to depend on the strengthening of links between neurons. Nerve cells communicate with each other at synapses, junction points where chemical signals mediate communication back and forth. When a synapse is used a lot, there is a persistent strengthening of the communication. In effect, the more that one side of the synapse 'talks,' the better the other side 'listens,' and the more effective the communication becomes. Nicotine appears to cause addiction by strengthening the excitatory connect ions on the neurons that make dopamine, which are found in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) of the brain reward center. Thus, the neurons are more excited, which means that more dopamine is released within the reward areas. This cellular locus of addiction is farther "upstream" in the reward pathway than anticipated. McGehee and Mansvelder demonstrate that nicotine's lasting effects result from the drug's interaction with a receptor on the synaptic endings, the part of the cell that sends the signals. When these endings are exposed to nicotine, there is a direct increase in the excitatory signal transmitted onto the dopamine neurons, which then increases dopamine release. Nicotine stimulates neurons by attaching to a specific structure on the neuron, known as the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. There are many different types of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, performing various roles throughout the body. The addictive process fortunately appears to involve only one subtype, acetylcholine receptors containing the alpha7

From: "Aleisha Saba" [EMAIL PROTECTED] One day walking across the lot this man came at her, a young black, dressed in a woman's dress and wearing lipstick - he stabbed her in the stomach 3 or 4 times - she did survive but at home had two children, quite small. Would the stabbing have been more palatable had the attacker been dressed 'normally'? Indeed, I think statistics would bear out that in most such attacks, the attacker is NOT a cross-dresser. So what's your point? These people also try to latch on networks involving care of juvenile delinquents - for I personally saw this too...like this queer in our town the son of a millionaire and he had a million who virtually bought three kids from an alcoholic fatherI had the great pleasure to turn that creep and worked for the Court where he was then sent away for the first time i his life.might add he ran with the Jewish Mafia killers, one of which was also a big queer and hung around with Meyer Lansky when he came to town. There is a world of difference between pedophiles and gay men, as there are between gay men as a whole and cross-dressers. Many cross-dressers are heterosexual. And adult men who sexually molest little boys have no more to do with adult male homosexuality than adult men who sexually molest little girls have to do with adult male heterosexuality. Are you saying that the men who sexually molested Jon Benet Ramsey are representative of all adult male heterosexuals? If not, then why do you equate men who sexually molest male children to the whole of the adult male homosexual population? So these kind of people if this is what you want, fineto each his own.I hope you do not feel compelled to now repeat your story about what queers do in your usual sick and disgusting manner. Actually I'm not the one who has posted details of homosexual sexual practices, it's one of your alternate personalities who has... What I have posted is the FACT that homosexuals have no sexual practice that is uniquely their own, that every single sex act participated in by gays are also practiced by heterosexuals. It's not our fault that you find the act of sexual intercourse sick and disgusting, Aleisha.

Don't blame John Kennedy for the war in Viet Nam. President John Kennedy did not "engage the U.S." in Vietnam. The U.S. was "engaged" by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, starting at least by the time France was defeated at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. The so-called "French Connection".the opium and heroin trafficking from the "golden triangle" of indochina became the "American Connection", following the French defeat. That's what Air America was all about. U.S. engagement in Vietnam continued to grow for at least 7 years before John Kennedy became President. In November 1963, Kennedy issued a National Security Action Memorandum which ordered all Americans out of Viet Nam by the end of 1964. At the time of this Presidential Order, there were less than 16,000 Americans in Viet Nam. John Kennedy was assassinated just 20 days after he gave that order. Lyndon Johnson cancelled Kennedy's order (NSAM), and eventually ordered more than half a million U.S. military personnel into the quagmire in Viet Nam.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." Communist Tyrant Josef Stalin August 8, 2000 NA (Network America) e-wire Battle in Long Beach Today is the National Committee Meeting which had been brilliantly called by Robert Bowes, Reform Party Chairman of Maryland, and his allies -- in a pre-emptive strike to take the offensive against the disruptive Verney Wrecking Crew which was and is trying to destroy the Reform Party, -- now that it has been transformed from an insincere third party blind alley to a constructive force run by grassroots patriotic Americans. By gathering the signatures of a percentage of the National Committee (I think it was 51 out of the 162, or about 30% of the Nat-Com delegates that were needed to call the special meeting) -- a national committee meeting could be called whether or not the leadership went along with it or not. It was called, and this was the day. The point man for the Verney wrecking crew was the loud-mouthed Buchanan-hater Jim Mangia. Mangia, for some reason, felt that he should come out of the closet as a homosexual activist right before he kicked into his high-gear efforts to destroy the Reform Party which he had been part of for the 8 years since its inception in 1992. The doors were closed to the press and observers until the national committee was completely seated, including legitimately disputed delegations. This was probably a mistake, as it would have been instructive for all to see the absurd Mangia antics. The closing of the doors gave the impression of secrecy and that the Buchanan forces had something to hide, which was not the case. Eye-witnesses inside told this reporter exactly what happened. Mangia, the Secretary of the Party, tried to take over the entire proceedings. He filibustered for two hours. Gerry Moan, the Reform Party Chairman, let this go probably to make every attempt to be fair to the woefully outnumbered dissidents. Outside the closed doors, where your reporter was standing with about 500 others, Russ Verney, Perots point man, showed up with his contingent of Perot Systems body guards complete with arm patches to let everyone know for sure who was backing the Verney Wrecking Crew. Verney also had an earpiece through which he was listening to the goings on inside the meeting through sophisticated Perot-provided radio devices. Verney had been ousted a week or so earlier by the Texas Reform Party, so he wasnt even allowed in the meeting. As the Mangia harangue dragged on inside, at one point, Verney, the former Democratic operative in the state of Connecticut, theatrically pushed his way toward the doors through a sea of microphones and cameras booming that he had every right to be in the room, and he would be arrested if necessary to gain entrance. In fact, he then retired to the back of the fray; obviously he had no intention of being arrested, but was merely providing a sound bite for the media. At several points, a Mangia spokesman would come out of the meeting and make an announcement to the locked-out press and at one point Mangia came out and screamed at the top of his lungs, making the sound bite and scene that has been used on every newscast covering the Reform Party Convention in the Big Newsmedias attempt to convey disorder in the Reform Party. Inside, Mangia was making a totally childish argument. Fifty state Reform Party National Committee delegations came to this August 8th meeting as recognized as legitimate by the Reform Party and listed as such on the Reform Party website. The basis of Mangias harangue was that the Verney wrecking crew had made frivolous challenges against about half of these recognized delegations. Mangia was holding per the absurd -- that because of these last minute frivolous challenges, all the challenged delegations were automatically unseated, and that therefore it was impossible to get a quorum, so the meeting could not convene. By this puerile logic, 50 Democrats (one from each state) could still file frivolous challenges against the 50 seated Democratic Party delegations about to meet in Los Angelus at

8.27.00 Report: Violent Entertainment Aimed At Young No way. I can't believe it. A year-long study by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has found--BIG SURPRISE!--that movie studios, record companies and video game producers have aggressively marketed violent entertainment products to children. This is something it takes about five minutes to figure out but the FTC needed a year. They just gotta spend our money... A draft report says movie studios pitched R-rated movies during television shows with predominately teen-age audiences, despite warnings that such movies may be inappropriate for young people, according to sources familiar with the FTC's findings. NO! It just can't be true... The report ALSO concluded that producers of violent video games advertised their products for mature audiences in magazines aimed at young teen-agers, the sources said. Are they SURE about this? Investigators for the FTC reportedly also found that children under 17 were often sold tickets to R-rated movies, which are restricted to adults unless children are accompanied by their parents or guardians. DUH! An FTC spokesman declined to comment on the report prior to its public release. The report is expected to be released next month and the Senate Commerce Committee is planning to hold a hearing on its findings. The Senate ordered the FTC to conduct the study last year after the series of school shootings across the U.S. A poll conducted by the FTC showed parents, understandably, wanted more information about the content of movies beyond what is now provided by the Motion Picture Association of America's rating system.

Norman Evan Thomas, Newsweek and the CIA Newsweek's Evan Thomas the grandson of Norman Thomas, a '60s "Socialist" on the CIA payroll exposed by the NY Times as an agent who did the Agency's bidding (see below) recently published a biography downplaying the significance of Robert Kennedy's career, character and political convictions. The message seems to be that Kennedy was overrated, a deeply flawed political hack with charisma and an inferiority complex whose death is of no real consequence. The following is background on Norman and Evan Thomas, pointing up some serious conflicts of interest between the CIA and the public interest in the latter's "reporting.": _ 1.

EVAN THOMAS Interview Booknotes C-SPAN Author: Evan Thomas Title: The Very Best Men: Four Who Dare - The Early Years of the CIA Air Date: December 17, 1995 BRIAN LAMB: Evan Thomas, why the title, "The Very Best Men"? EVAN THOMAS: Well, it's slightly ironic. They were the very best men in the sense that they were bright, bold, brave men who did the very best they could to conquer communism for the CIA in the early 1950s. But things didn't turn out as well as they'd hoped. And it's a bit of a play on the best and the brightest. A lot of what they tried to do didn't turn out so well. But they were the very best in the sense that they were the smartest around and the boldest around and the most daring. LAMB: Who were they? THOMAS: They were a group of four senior officials at the CIA who ran what's called the clandestine service, the part of the CIA that carries out covert action, espionage, the sexy part of the CIA, if you will. They were the covert action specialists. Richard Bissell, who was the most famous, probably, of the group who ran the Bay of Pigs -- or ran the CIA into the Bay of Pigs; Frank Wisner, who began it all in the late 40s; Tracy Barnes, who never ran it but was assistant for all the big operations like Guatemala and the Bay of Pigs; and Desmond Fitzgerald, who ran the covert action part of the agency in the mid-'60s and was a sort of swashbuckling, glamorous figure. LAMB: Where did you get the idea for the book? THOMAS: I got it from writing "The Wise Men," which was a book that came out about 10 years ago about the old foreign policy establishment. Two of the wise men were Chip Bohlen and George Kennan. They were senior foreign policymakers after the war, and one of their friends was Frank Wisner. Frank Wisner killed himself in 1965, and I thought, "Boy, there's got to

Orlin Grabbe One of the evils of regulation is that regulated industries all eventually become arms of the Big Brother State. We've seen it happen in banking. Now it seems to be infecting airlines as well. Soon you won't be able to get there from here. Heading home to Costa Rica recently at the end of a trip to the Land of the Free, I showed up at the American Airlines desk to pick up a boarding pass on my electronic ticket. "That's funny," the agent said, "I can't seem to find the return segment of your flight." "This is the return segment," I said helpfully. "I live in Costa Rica." "You live in Costa Rica?" She read her computer terminal for a bit. "Do you have some document that shows you live in Costa Rica?" "No," I said, but made a mental note to take a picture of my house sometime, and have it notarized by the Ministry of Jesus. She read some more. "Do you have a visa?" she asked. "Nope. Don't need one." "I'm just going by what it says in the computer," she apologized. I shrugged. She punched and probed, and after a while called over a supervisor. "He doesn't have a return ticket. He says he lives in Costa Rica." The supervisor didn't look at me. He also looked to see what it said in the computer. "Do you have a tourist card?" they finally asked. "No, don't need one." "But you are only allowed to stay in Costa Rica for 90 days. So how can you be living there? You have to have a return ticket." Now it was my turn to be puzzled. What business was all this of American Airlines? Who was to say I wasn't going on to Panama in another week? And if I was indeed returning to the US, who said I had to book my return flight through American Airlines? However, nice guy that I am, I skipped over these considerations and told them the simple truth: "I'm too restless to stay anywhere for 90 days. So it's not a problem." The supervisor whispered: "See if he has a security passport." They punched buttons in the computer for a while, and eventually satisfied themselves I didn't have a security passport (whatever that was). They looked at me. "I don't care," I said. "Book me a return flight 90 days from how." While the agent did this I pointed out: "You realize why you're just wasting your own time, don't you? I'm simply going to change the reservation later." Confession time on her part. "Well, if there is not a return flight booked, we get fined." "You get fined by whom?" I asked. "By the government." I pondered this. Did Costa Rica require a return ticket as a condition for landing rights, to avoid being buried in an immigrant wave of gringos? "By which government?" I asked. "The Costa Rican government or the US government?" "The US government," she said. So there you have it: American Airline administers a non- existent US law that you can't go to Costa Rica without a return ticket. I didn't bother to further point out how idiotic this was, nor did I inquire as to the reasons for the new rule. I suspected (speculated) it had something to do with the lack of an extradition agreement between the US and Costa Rica. After all, Janet Reno had come down recently and, when she was not sleeping or shaking in public, threatened all the expatriate Americans she was going to get them. So I flew home to Costa Rica, and promptly cancelled my "return" flight to the US. After all, I'll soon be out of here again, on my way to Brazil to investigate the national security implications of the demise of the thong bikini. And I won't be taking American Airlines.

All The Gore
(Part 1)
Research Notes for the Serious Investigator
Follow the Money
Democracy Enhancement refers to collaborative, systematic efforts by an
array of
U.S. government agencies to further U.S. political and economic interests in
poor
countries -- regardless of grossly negative impact on the poor majorities in
those countries -- under the banner of building democracy. Democracy
"enhancement" is more properly termed democracy intervention.
The primary agencies openly involved in democracy intervention are the Nationa
l
Endowment for Democracy (NED), the Agency for International Development (AID)
and
U.S. Information Agency (USIA), working in concert with the National Security
Council, the State Department, the CIA, and a complex network of organizations
clustered around NED.
Promotional materials describe NED as "a private nonprofit organization
created
in 1983 to strengthen democratic institutions around the world through
nongovernmental efforts." NED is not a nongovernmental organization: it was
established by USIA and receives 99% of its funding from the U.S. government.
Its "private" facade, however, means it is not subject to Congressional
oversight. NED might be termed "the group that took the 'C' out of covert
interference in foreign elections" its first president stated, "A lot of
what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." (The CIA's first
covert operation was interference in Italy's elections in the late 1940s.)
AID is commonly perceived as a nonpolitical, benevolent, international
assistance
agency which provides foreign aid to poor countries and helps them learn from
the
United States' superior economic, technological and agricultural power. This
perception is inaccurate. First, "foreign aid" money goes largely into
American
pockets, funding American-owned businesses and U.S. agencies rather than
directly
benefiting poor people in foreign countries. Second, AID is anything but
nonpolitical: its own mission statement defines it as a foreign affairs
agency of
the U.S. government committed to "continued American economic and moral
leadership." Third, many foreign "nongovernmental organizations" (NGOs) which
receive AID and NED funding are not nongovernmental at all: they are founded
--
sometimes openly, sometimes covertly -- and controlled by U.S. government
funds.
Finally, the key U.S. "private voluntary organizations" (PVOs) involved in
democracy enhancement clearly have conservative and right-wing political
agendas,
not charitable or development agendas, behind their bipartisan masks. Many
also
have histories of active involvement in covert political activities in
Nicaragua,
El Salvador and elsewhere.
The complex flow of funds among AID, NED and USIA defies analysis. It is
quite
clear, however, that these monies are U.S. taxpayer dollars serving to
undermine
genuine democracy in poor countries. The kind of "democracy" sought is not
that
which reflects self-determination, popular participation, or the interests of
the
poor majorities in Third World countries.
The Democracy Enhancement Project in Haiti In May 1991, AID received
Congressional authorization to spend $24.4 million on a four-year Democracy
Enhancement Project in Haiti. The following month, AID invited ten U.S.
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to apply for AID funding to carry out
certain functions of the project. Washington Office on Haiti first summarized
the AID Invitation for Application and its several attachments in July 1991.
While various amendments have been made since then, the original documents
define
the purposes and structures of current "democracy" activities in Haiti.

A tiny, man-made island is causing an international incident, says Gary Slapper How a law-less 'data haven' is using law to protect itself When is a state not a state? When it is a playground on stilts in 30ft of water, some might say, looking out at Sealand, the world's newest self-proclaimed state, off the Suffolk coast. The Government has apparently allowed itself to be painted into a corner over an intriguing issue of international law. A story that began in an apparently risible way in September 1967, and was nothing much more than a minor item of local news about a small eccentric family, has metamorphosed into an international incident. For at the very time when Parliament has just passed the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, which allows private computer information to be monitored where serious crime or breaches of national security are involved, a putative state without any such laws or concerns is threatening the interests of the Government off the port of Felixstowe. During the Second World War, Britain established an artificial island on the high seas. It was equipped with radar and heavy armaments and was occupied by 200 servicemen. Their task was to guard the approaches to the Thames Estuary where convoys of shipping were assembled. After the war the island was abandoned. Then in the winter of 1966, a former major, Roy Bates, took possession of the outpost known as Roughs Tower. On September 2, 1967, Bates and his family hoisted their own flag and later declared the existence of the Principality of Sealand. The island was outside the then existing three-mile territorial waters of Britain. The juridical status of the Principality of Sealand is now the subject of heated legal and political controversy. The island could become the first offshore data haven beyond the gaze of the authorities A group of American business entrepreneurs, led by Sean Hastings, 31, is setting up the world's first offshore "data haven" on the island. The computer experts come from the Anguilla-based firm HavenCo Ltd and are keen to launch the only place in the world that can offer almost complete anonymity and privacy to anyone who wants to conduct e-business beyond the gaze of the authorities. Clearly, this matter is of grave concern to the police, the Inland Revenue and the intelligence services. The son of Roy Bates, Prince Michael, 47, has been reported as saying: "It is about freedom and liberty and making it easier for people to do business in private and to express themselves freely." The commonly accepted criteria among jurists for determining whether an entity is a state are taken from the jus gentium - the law of nations. This law is derived from the Institutes of Justinian, the major treatise written by the command of the Roman Emperor Justinian and published in AD 533. One thorny problem for the Government is that according to the three major criteria of statehood, Sealand does appear to have a good claim. The requirements are: a national territory; a people coming together as a nation; and a sovereign state authority. It does not matter that it is only 932sq yd in size because there is no minimum area legally articulated for something to be a state. Vatican City is classified as a state even though it is minuscule. Neither is there a requirement that the population rises above a certain minimum. Nor is it an argument that the structure was created by the Government as it was legally terra nullis - abandoned land - when it was taken over. Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States, signed in 1933, itemises the same criteria as the jus gentium, plus the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Sealand appears also to have satisfied this criterion. If Sealand is an independent state, it could legitimately claim its own coastal waters and regulate its own airspace. The Government is also in difficulties over this because on two occasions it has appeared to endorse the idea that Sealand is both beyond its jurisdiction and has the status of a state. In 1968 the Royal Navy expressed concern over Bates's presence on Sealand and sent in some boats. Bates fired warning shots at them and was then prosecuted in a Crown Court. He argued that the newly named Sealand was beyond British jurisdiction and this was accepted by the

It's of scientific interest because it spectacularly confirms a prediction made by a number of us in the paper on `The Risks of Key Recovery, Key Escrow, and Trusted Third-Party Encryption' http://www.cdt.org/crypto/risks98/ that key escrow would make it much more difficult than people thought to build secure systems. He's written a paper on his work and it's at http://senderek.de/security/key-experiments.html Since NAI joined the Key Recovery Alliance, PGP has supported "Additional Decryption Keys" which can be added to a public key. The sender will then encrypt the session key to these as well as to your main public key. The bug is that some versions of PGP respond to ADK subpackets in the non-signed part of the public key data structure. The effect is that GCHQ can create a tampered version of your PGP public key containing a public key whose corresponding private key is also known to themselves, and circulate it. People who encrypt traffic to you will encrypt it to them too. The problem won't go away until all vulnerable versions of PGP are retired, since it's the sender who is responsible for encrypting to the ADKs, not the recipient. In the meantime there might be a nasty denial-of-service attack in which bad guys upload tampered versions of everybody's public keys to all the public keyrings. Ross PS: my student Steve Early has trawled the PGP-6.5.1i-beta2 source code and found the bug: In file libs/pgpcdk/priv/keys/keys/pgpRngPub.c, I see two functions: one called ringKeyFindSubpacket(), which finds a subpacket from a self-signature packet, and ringKeyAdditionalRecipientRequestKey(), which uses ringKeyFindSubpacket() to search for ADK subpackets. ringKeyFindSubpacket() is declared as follows: PGPByte const * ringKeyFindSubpacket (RingObject *obj, RingSet const *set, int subpacktype, unsigned nth, PGPSize *plen, int *pcritical, int *phashed, PGPUInt32 *pcreation, unsigned *pmatches, PGPError *error); In particular, the "phashed" parameter is used to return whether the subpacket was in the hashed region. Now, looking at the call in ringKeyAdditionalRecipientRequestKey() I see this: krpdata = ringKeyFindSubpacket (obj, set, SIGSUB_KEY_ADDITIONAL_RECIPIENT_REQUEST, nth, krdatalen, critical, NULL, NULL, matches, error); ...the "phashed" value isn't checked (or even asked for)! Fixing the bug, and generating BIG WARNINGS when ADKs are found in the non-hashed area, should be trivial.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Re: Russian economists predict World economic Crisis to begin November 2000
I lifted this article from the GATA website. It is an intriguing insight for several reasons. One of those is their view that the involvement of the US in the Yuogolsavian war in 1999 was to stave off an economic collapse at that time. Another is that the collapse will immediately increase the price of gold - an asset that has been price depressed for years resulting from the purposeful manipulation of leading US European banks, while physical gold has been privately acquired in large volumes in off-market transactions by those same banks. But the most important point, I think, is the authors view that the EURO will step into the breach as the new global currency following the collapse of the dollar. There has long been a plan to introduce a global electronic currency and the EURO is it. Note also that the two Russian economists indicate that Russia should elect Germany as their principal Western partner. David Eric Von Baronov The Washington Insider 26 August 2000 Will the United States Manage to Bring on the Apocalypse? "Will the United States Manage to Bring on the Apocalypse? The World Economic Crisis Should Begin in November of This Year," is the title of an extraordinary article, published in the July 24 issue of Ekspert, a prominent Russian economics and business weekly. The authors, Oleg Grigoryev and Mikhail Khazin, former high-level economic advisors to the Russian government, during 1994-1998, now work as independent consultants. Significantly, the two authors and Ekspert magazine could be characterized as having a "liberal" economic policy orientation. Taking the so-called New Economy and its relation with industrial production, the authors argue that the bubble in asset prices in the New Economy will be one critical factor in unleashing the coming collapse. Unlike previous technological revolutions, which had led to broad increases in productivity and living standards in the real economy, "as yet, there has been no observable impact by the new, information sector, on the traditional sector, with respect to any significant increase of labor productivity and rates of profit." This situation, however, "undermines the New Economy itself, which too much resembles a financial pyramid scheme, the stability of which largely depends on strictly psychological factors." The authors emphasize that "the persistent and steady decline of profitability of the old, real economy, primarily industry" will be the other "trigger of the future global economic crisis." The New Economy has "flourished just in time to attract any excess financial resources, making possible a repetition of the phenomenon of 1920s - rapid growth, with practically no inflation - and to postpone the stage of overheating for approximately ten more years. Now, this time is up." Following the economic and financial collapse of Asia in 1997-98, Khazin and Grigoryev argue, "the only remaining possibility to postpone the crisis in the United States itself, was to employ non-economic mechanisms," like the 1999 war in Yugoslavia. Referring to the internal dynamic of the US economy, the Russian economists write that there has been a "decrease of US citizens' savings rate. They began to spend more, while also increasing their debt obligations. With rising interest rates, this process had to provoke inflation. The first signs of inflation appeared in 1998 But, for a long time the inflationary processes were not reflected in prices on the [goods] markets, thanks to the skilled and competent efforts of the Federal Reserve system. By the end of 1999, however, the Federal Reserve could no longer contain inflation. The critical point was reached in March-April 2000, when the annual rate of inflation in the United States, reached the average profitability level of industrial production." Referring to the increasing daily volatility on the major US stock markets, the Russian economists see this as a sign of "how close the United States is to the onset of the collapse." Then, pointing to the politics of the US election process, they outline two scenarios: The first one plays out in the event that the US "financial oligarchy" keeps control over the two major parties. In this case, nothing will happen before the elections; but immediately thereafter, the truth about the real state of affairs, will necessarily appear in the mass media by early November, when the balances from two quarters of the business year begin to be published, likely triggering the dumping of shares of industrial companies. Thw second scenario would unfold, if the leadership of the US Republican Party were to behave relatively independently and push to accelerate the crisis - firstly, in order to guarantee victory in the election, and, secondly, to force the Clinton Administration to take the first and most unpopular measures after the crisis broke out. Noting that such a collapse in the US stock markets would wipe out "some $10 trillion" in paper assets, "this

Lyndon Johnson didn't leave any memoirs about the stressful relationship he shared with Kennedy while he was Vice President. Kennedy planned to write his when he retired... Regardless, the secrecy and deceit that Johnson and cohorts maintained and promoted in the deliberate effort to mask the truth, cannot credibly cover up the inevitable tension produced by two personalities as different as Johnson and Kennedy. Ted Sorensen, White House adviser and Special Council to the President (1961-64) aptly described the stark contrast in the following terms: "It is hard to imagine a man more different from Kennedy than Lyndon Johnson. His success in the ways of Capitol Hill had made him cunning where JFK was candid, secretive instead of open, preferring the process of manoeuvre to the substance of decision."1 As Kennedy's term progressed, he "grew more and more concerned about what would happen if LBJ ever became President."2 Sorensen-bashers revel in the claim that the contrast between Kennedy and Johnson was more imagined than real. They like to promote the claim that the sole interest of the so-called "Kennedy loyalists" was to paint a larger than life image of President Kennedy. But Ted Sorensen is first and foremost, an intelligent, competent historian, and the historical record regarding the stark contrast between Kennedy and Johnson is absolutely indisputable. There is indeed no legitimate way to dispute the simple fact that Kennedy and Johnson drifted further and further apart as the Kennedy administration progressed. In particular, Johnson retreated behind a wall of silence while Kennedy became more and more convinced that secrecy discouraged freedom, damaged credibility and challenged democratic ideals. Seeking to apply the belief that freedom and peace demanded accommodation rather than confrontation, Kennedy began to forge a foreign policy that challenged the impending lunacy of the Cold War. In the eyes of paranoid zealots, the real "lunacy" was the openness that Kennedy encouraged. The Cold War had defined an unchallengeable course of action and anyone who questioned the direction of the journey was fiercely opposed. At the start of his Administration, Kennedy rode the ideological Cold War tide and blindly approved what has been often branded the ill-timed and ill-planned invasion of Cuba. In actual fact, the hopeless plan to launch a successful invasion through a band of Cuban revolutionary exiles, was neither ill-fated, nor ill-planned. In the face of disclosure, it did not take a military genius to determine that the plan was doomed from the start. But zealots within Kennedy's administration had sought to coax the President into declaring an all-out military assault on Cuba and had deliberately lied to President Kennedy who had made it clear that the Bay of Pigs operation "must be carried through without any combat action by the USA military forces". The real significance behind the Bay of Pigs is not the so-called miscalculation, but the manipulation or the deceptive intelligence which caused Kennedy to go along with the scheme. CIA Director Allan Dulles conceded the manipulative effort to commit Kennedy to war over Cuba when he said: We felt that when the chips were down -when the crisis arose in reality, any action required for success would be authorized rather than permit the enterprise to fail.3 The plan to provoke a Cuban invasion failed. Kennedy refused to let the "enterprise" dictate policy and Allan Dulles was promptly fired. And so, while the President had approved an invasion by Cuban revolutionary exiles, he had rejected a Cold War scheme to "Americanize" the military effort. Ironically, the aborted

The tragic fact of the matter is that Lyndon Johnson simply lacked the capacity to envision a future for the United States unless John F. Kennedy and his plans to withdraw from Vietnam were put to rest. Deluded by the irrational belief that withdrawal from Vietnam would trigger World War III, Johnson mobilized lockstep ideologues and plotted the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The substantive facts that directly implicate Lyndon Johnson are very clear and indisputable. The calm and deliberate hive of activity that Johnson unleashed as soon as John F. Kennedy died was so elaborate and so flawlessly executed that it betrayed an extraordinary degree of pre-assassination planning and forethought. As Kennedy's Vice President, Johnson "publicly" languished in a state of impotence. As soon as Kennedy was shot, Johnson executed a superhuman agenda which was as deliberate and as well thought out as any carefully planned Johnsonian "dictat". On the day of the assassination, despite the state of grief, disarray, shock and confusion, Lyndon Johnson was so fiercely determined to get his own way that he personally ordered Kilduff to disregard immediate demands to take-off for Washington and to keep the plane on the ground until Federal Judge Sarah Hughes arrived to swear him in, made certain that the oath was typewritten correctly, calmly dictated notes to his secretary, fed a press release to Merriman Smith of UPI, arranged to have full press coverage upon landing, called Robert Kennedy to plant the suggestion that the Attorney General of the United States advised him to take the presidential oath immediately, summoned Kennedy loyalists and asked them to remain in government because he allegedly needed them more than the late President ever did, told Merriman Smith and Charles Roberts of Newsweek that he intended to retain the entire Kennedy Cabinet and Kennedy White House staff, used the radio-telephone to call the late President's mother, phoned the wife of the wounded Texas Governor to comfort her, placed calls to Washington and ordered a meeting with legislative leaders, informed the press about upcoming meetings, called McGeorge Bundy to arrange an additional bipartisan meeting before Kennedy's funeral, issued the ignored order that upon landing in Washington, the "casket would be followed by Mrs. Kennedy on the arm of President Johnson", -the list of Johnson's instant rejuvenation goes on and on.1 In retrospect, the evidently pre-planned manoeuvres reflect the fact that Lyndon Johnson was so well prepared to meet the news of Kennedy's assassination that he was undoubtedly motivated by foreknowledge about the plot to murder Kennedy. The behaviour of Lyndon Johnson is quite consistent in betraying the fact that he evidently knew exactly what had happened to Kennedy and why. For example, when Johnson ordered Kilduff to keep the plane on the ground following the Kennedy assassination, he inadvertently exposed the fact that the murder of Kennedy triggered a plot to cover up the truth rather than the panic, grief and confusion that Johnson alluded to. Recall that on the day of the assassination, Johnson was so anxious about the need to promote the belief that he was caught off guard that he had allegedly contemplated the fear that he was the next target of a wider conspiracy. If that were true however, if Johnson had in fact feared for his own safety on the day Kennedy was assassinated, the obsession to leave Texas would have overwhelmed the demand to keep the plane on the ground so that Johnson could be sworn in as President. In retrospect, it is easy to distinguish the self-serving lies from the genuine, obsessive motivation to seize power and to cover up the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. To belabour the neglected point, the deliberate, instantly dispatched manoeuvring reflects an extraordinary degree of diligent, pre-assassination preparation. The intense but calmly delivered course of action that Johnson unleashed as soon as Kennedy died was anything but spontaneous and leads to the inevitable conclusion that Lyndon Johnson was clearly aware of the fact that Kennedy would not survive past November 22, 1963. Emotional human beings initially respond to unexpected pressure, they do not unleash deliberate, flawless political performances. Granted, Lyndon Johnson was a manipulative genius, his strength was a product of strategic planning and purposeful deception, not on the spot thinking. The assassination of John F. Kennedy caught everybody off guard -except the people who knew that Kennedy was going to be shot. Most people were so stunned by

from: http://pages.about.com/search/chapter3.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://pages.about.com/search/chapter3.htm"Preserving the legacy/A - Framing the Patsy Chapter 3 In a normal environment under normal conditions, the claim that J. Edgar Hoover is ultimately responsible for framing Lee Harvey Oswald sounds like a bizarre conspiratorial fantasy. But in the hysteria-driven Cold War environment that motivated J. Edgar Hoover, the fact that Oswald was "just a patsy" is not subject to serious dispute. An expert at perverting the law, Hoover survived the horrendous abuse of power he routinely practised through the enforcement of a Mafia-like code of silence. Indeed, the degree of secrecy that he ruthlessly enforced was so extreme, that sheer luck is ultimately responsible for exposing the illegalities that Hoover routinely promoted. In 1971 for example, it was not an unusual lapse in security but the burglary of an FBI office in Pennsylvania, that exposed the otherwise unrecorded fifteen year stretch of FBI sponsored fraud. The substance of the illegal, covert operations, routinely discharged between 1956 and 1971, involved fraud, forgery and disinformation campaigns, but the so-called counterintelligence operations (Cointeipro) were fiercely shrouded in such extreme secrecy that the public was never even aware of their existence prior to the 1971 burglary. The illegal operations ultimately reflect the fact that Hoover's FBI practised an unabashed pattern of fraud and forgery and routinely managed to get away with it. The astounding scope of undetected corruption clearly reflects Hoover's extraordinary capacity to pervert the American legal system. The unchallengeable autocrat had in fact trained his FBI to discredit his enemies through "disruptive-disinformation operations" and to use Police Department or FBI stationery to subtly distort documentary evidence or to create "entirely fabricated documents".1 In the final analysis, the 1971 burglary exposed the "split personality" of the FBI -on the one hand, it had the resources and the capacity to solve crime and on the other, it practised the art of deceit. The initial Kennedy assassination investigation [the Warren Report], dominated entirely by Hoover's capacity to promote fraud, reflects absolutely nothing beyond the art of deceit. It is simply not possible to be a reasonable person and to accept Hoover's fraudulent assertion that Lee Harvey Oswald is singlehandedly responsible for the Kennedy assassination. The evidence is too abundant and too consistent, to ignore the fact that the case against Lee Harvey Oswald is obviously fraudulent and reflects absolutely nothing beyond a Hoover-directed disinformation campaign. Even pure common sense dictates that the Warren Report ultimately implicates J. Edgar Hoover in the Kennedy assassination cover up. Clearly, if we stretch the imagination to the point where we accept the Warren Report claim that Oswald is responsible for the Kennedy assassination, then why did Hoover let it happen? Recall that Hoover claimed that Oswald was a known Communist subversive, and given his alleged status, J. Edgar Hoover would have invariably positioned himself to monitor every move, every phone call, and every letter that Lee Harvey Oswald received. The surveillance imposed on alleged subversives like Lee Harvey Oswald was too comprehensive to grant them the opportunity to murder the President of the United States. Like the fabricated disinformation campaigns that Hoover routinely promoted, the phoney "mail-order" case that fraudulently implicates Lee Harvey Oswald, is absolutely disingenuous. Clearly, if Lee Harvey Oswald, a genuine Communist sympathiser had tried to shoot Kennedy, then J.Edgar Hoover, who boasted the claim that "there is an FBI agent behind every mailbox", would have had his men storm the Texas School Book Depository and would have thwarted the so-called Communist plot to undermine America's national security.2 Indeed, J. Edgar Hoover had declared war on Communism, and loyal FBI agents did little beyond track and discredit anyone who was perceived to be Communist inclined. Monitored around the clock by Hoover's army of loyal FBI agents, genuine Communist sympathizers were simply targets of covert, illegal plots, they were not "mail-order" assassins. Under the circumstances, Hoover's pompous claim that the case against Oswald was air-tight, reflects little beyond the deliberate fraud that he ultimately controlled. The absurd assertion that Communist sympathiser Lee Harvey Oswald used a cheap mail-order rifle to singlehandedly fire a rapid, crossfire succession of deadly accurate shots, merits ridicule. Beyond the simple fact that it is physically impossible for a single man to fire the same gun almost simultaneously, from two separate directions, it is also not possible for Lee Harvey Oswald, the "magic bullet" sharpshooter, to posthumously cover up the Kennedy assassination conspiracy. Clearly, that

from: http://pages.about.com/search/chapter4.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://pages.about.com/search/chapter4.htm"Preserving the legacy/A - HOOVER AND THE MAFIA Chapter 4 The astonishing degree of control that Hoover exercised over the Warren Commission gave him the capacity to dictate the "truth" about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The "infallible" Director of the FBI even managed to convince the Warren Commission to keep from publishing the fact that Jack Ruby had been an FBI informant in 1959. Imagine that! Jack Ruby, the organized crime operative who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald had actually developed a secret alliance with Hoover's FBI and Hoover dominated the Warren Commission so absolutely that he managed to hush it up. The secret relationship between Jack Ruby and Hoover's FBI is one of the links in a long chain of events which connects J. Edgar Hoover and the Mafia to the point where it is practically impossible to distinguish one from the other. Indeed, when Hoover fraudulently insisted that there was no significant link between Jack Ruby and organized crime, the absurd claim was obviously self-serving -Hoover desperately denied Ruby's obvious links to organized crime in order to conceal his own covert relationship with the Mafia. The Mafia owed its very existence to the capacity to corrupt law enforcement officials. Indeed, as long as law enforcement officials like J. Edgar Hoover fraudulently claimed that organized crime did not exist, the Mafia was free to grow and to prosper. Jack Ruby certainly embodied the fact that the Mafia and its violent cohorts were repeatedly provided the opportunity to break the law without consequence. If common criminals and thugs like Jack Ruby were not in jail, it is ultimately due to Warren Report-style deceptions which perverted justice by ignoring the significance of simple facts like Ruby's obvious Mafia connections. Despite Hoover's fraudulent denials, Jack Ruby's relationship with organized crime was the product of a lifelong commitment. Mob justice effectively defined the normal course of Ruby's affairs. In 1947, Ruby settled in Dallas, where friends like Mafia enforcer Paul Roland Jones helped him consolidate the interests of the mob and corruptible police officers. Jones was a convicted murderer who bragged about his coast to coast syndicate contacts. Since 1947, he and Ruby cultivated friendships with the Dallas Police at the behest of the Mafia, and Jack Ruby's strip clubs proved invaluable in the effort. Ruby reserved the best booze and the best girls for "his boys" and it was only a matter of time before the initial Mafia plan to corrupt the police began to pay dividends. As relationships developed, Ruby became an informant who provided the police with information about low-level vice and narcotics operations, and the Mafia with the opportunity to carve out an exclusive, competition-free territory. The "sweetheart" deals that Ruby deliberately cultivated are well documented. Former Dallas County Sheriff Steve Cuthrie indicated that as early as 1947, Jack Ruby was the designated frontman for Chicago mobsters who planned to control gambling and police payoffs.1 Luis Kutner, a Chicago attorney and a former staff lawyer for the Kefauver Committee that investigated organized crime in 1950, testified before the Warren Commission and indicated that Jack Ruby was "a syndicate lieutenant who had been sent to Dallas to serve as a liaison for Chicago mobsters."2 The fact that Jack Ruby was the payoff man for the Dallas Police is not subject to serious dispute. Ruby had evidently penetrated the payoff-riddled Dallas police, and experts who are well acquainted with the power structure that organized crime develops describe Ruby's links in the following terms: Most simply think that, say, a gambler exchanges money to the cop in return for protection of his interests. And that's as far as the relationship goes. Really, it goes one step further. The criminal will also give the policeman information about his underworld competitors. The cop goes out and busts them, allowing his illicit source of income to develop nothing less than a 'privileged sanctuary.' With all these other arrests under his belt, the cop compiles a respected reputation while his other relationships grow.3 There is nothing about Jack Ruby's life that does not tie him to the world of political corruption and organized crime. Friends like Mafia enforcers Paul Roland Jones and Dave Yaras certainly illustrated the measurable benefits of corrupt political influence. In 1931, Jones murdered a state witness in Kansas, received a life sentence, but resumed his criminal career after Governor Husman pardoned him. Ruby associate Dave Yaras, also a well known killer who planned and executed murder contracts for the Mob, shared the habit of murdering witnesses who were in a position to testify against him. Ruby's friends had made a career out of getting away with murder, and that probably

from: http://pages.about.com/search/chapter4.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://pages.about.com/search/chapter4.htm"Preserving the legacy/A - There is one thing that John Mohr and I would disagree on. I think the truth should go out to the American public, no matter how ugly and no matter how unpleasant, if for no other reason than to prevent another J. Edgar Hoover from ever gaining that much power again, and always abusing it the way he did. 1 don't think he'll tell you the whole ugly truth on it.39 In 1977, Sullivan was in the process of completing a book on his 30 year career inside Hoover's FBI. In November of 1977, press reports indicated that he was accidentally shot in the neck by a man who was hunting with a rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. Sullivan's posthumously published book reads like a rather trivial narration for a veteran insider who, according to common knowledge within the FBI, had a whole bunch of confidential files within his possession after his retirement in 1971. The battle-scarred, FBI critic fortunately survived two motor vehicle accidents but the consequence of a third accident, a bullet in the throat, proved impossible to swallow. When Sullivan reached the FBI, Hoover was already an institution that defied every authority except his own. Hoover became a national hero early in his career when his famous C-men targeted notorious criminals like Machine Gun Kelly, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson. The pursuit of disorganized hillbilly gangsters established Hoover's reputation as a relentless crimebuster. Since then, Hoover maintained the image through the Crime Records Division of the FBI. The Division was simply a publishing house that produced crime-fighting books and articles credited to America's so-called top crimebuster, J. Edgar Hoover. The best writers within the FBI worked for the Crime Records Division, and the propaganda effort was honed to the point where FBI agents submitted reviews of their own books to friendly newspapers for publication. According to Sullivan, the Crime Records Division was a "huge public relations and propaganda operation which no government Bureau should have."40 Theoretically, the FBI was the investigative arm of the Justice Department, but as long as Hoover was in charge, the FBI was essentially a private army that combated Communism. Indeed, Hoover was even the investigative force behind Senator Joseph McCarthy's vulgar crusade. According to William Sullivan: "We were the ones who made the McCarthy hearings possible. We fed McCarthy all the material that he was using".41 Sullivan is unequivocal about FBI involvement: "I know what we were doing, I worked on it myself. At the same time, we were telling the public that we had nothing to do with it."42 McCarthyite witch-hunts millions of faultless Americans who were victims of illegal FBI intrusion. And while the lives and careers of ordinary American citizens were disrupted, dislocated and destroyed without cause, Hoover fraudulently maintained the image that he was fighting crime. Sanford Ungar, who has meticulously analyzed Hoover's FBI, exposed the charade in the following terms: For nearly half a century headquarters was run as J. Edgar Hoover's showpiece, his personal 'seat of government' which tended to confuse law enforcement with policymaking. Sometimes consciously and sometimes not, headquarters was the master of the charade. In military fashion, it overstaffed the Bureau's rolls in order to have enough manpower available for when a real crisis occurred. But it never said it was doing that; it justified the overload with artificial "cases" that consisted only of pieces of paper but looked good in the statistics. It created rules to govern everything, rules that were intended more to anticipate and answer criticism than to help agents with their work.43 The campaign to promote an infallible image was exhaustive. Indeed, Hoover recruited hand-picked, clean-cut, small-town American boys whose mainstream values inspired uncritical admiration. Trained to be loyal and obedient to J. Edgar Hoover, new recruits were closely watched and monitored to assure compliance. Hoover demanded absolute obedience and even "assumed the right to set standards for his agents' personal lives, and sexual taboos... Not only would young unmarried male and female clerks be dismissed if it were learned that they had illicit sexual relations, but the same punishment would be dealt to a fellow clerk who knew about any such indiscretion and failed to report it."44 Hoover essentially established a built-in spy network where every single FBI agent was assigned the responsibility to keep an eye out and to report even the slightest sign of dissent from within. Anyone who refused or failed to adapt to Hoover's excessive demands resigned, was fired or committed suicide, save for the probability that all the hushed up suicide verdicts were more likely the disguised murders of "dissidents."

China Puts 700,000 Troops on Alert in Sudan
NewsMax.com
Sunday, Aug. 27, 2000
In a stunning revelation, London's Sunday Telegraph is reporting in today's
editions that China has as many as 700,000 troops in the Sudan and is preparing
to enter that country's civil war.
According to the British paper, for the past three years China has been
bringing Chinese nationals into the Sudan by cargo jets and boats.
Ostensibly, the Chinese were to serve as guards at oil fields and facilities
controlled by the China National Petroleum Corporation.
The introduction of Chinese troops comes in the wake of the military success of
the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) headed by Col. Johnny Garang.
Garang's forces, largely Christian, have been battling Sudan's Islamic regime
which controls the country's oil region in the Upper Nile.
SPLA troops are reported to be just 10 miles from these oil fields.
The Islamic regime has made an emergency request that China crush the SPLA
forces and end the country 17-year-old civil war.
Oil production began in Sudan just last year, and since then arms have been
flowing in from Libya, Qatar and China.
The Telegraph cites an internal document from the Sudanese military indicating
that "as many as 700,000 Chinese security personnel were available for action."
Baroness Caroline Cox, the leading human rights activist for Christians in
Sudan, criticized Western governments for their complacency and complicity.
She said: "If with foreign help the NIF regime crushes all opposition we will
have entrenched in the heart of Africa a militant Islamist regime aimed at
spreading terrorism throughout the continent. It's unbelievably serious for the
future of democracy in Africa and could happen in the next few weeks."
British companies, and Canada's Talisman Energy, have joined the Chinese to
help develop its oil production facilities and pipelines.
Human rights activists have criticized Western governments for backing the
militant Islamic regime in Khartoum, one that has killed civilians to clear
areas for oil production.
Christian groups have also publicized the regime's use of slavery.
China's involvement in the ongoing civil war may prove to be the most unusual
twist, and may represent the largest movement of one army into another country
that went completely undetected by other nations.
A Western aid worker in southern Sudan told the Telegraph, "Everyone knows what
is going on. We've all seen the Chinese being brought in and can only pray
about what's going to happen next."
The use of Chinese "workers" as a military force may raise serious concerns
about the growing number of Chinese illegals detected in Central America and
the Caribbean.
Chinese influence in Panama which controls the Panama Canal has already raised
serious warning froms military experts, including Adm. Thomas Moorer, former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the

by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that
the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State

subjects.

If that is the case, the security agency concerned would provide an ideal "cover"for our activities. -EDWARD LUTTWAK, Coup d'Etat Richard Nixon's battle with the Central Intelligence Agency began in 1958. He was then vice-president, and (he CIA was secretly financing and supporting an armed Insurrection against the Sukarno regime, in Indonesia. When the CIA effort collapsed, to the embarrassment of the United States government, President Eisenhower ordered his vice-president to purge those in the CIA involved in the fiasco. Nixon personally arranged for Frank Wisner, the highly respected deputy director of plans for the CIA, and other top officials of the agency to be brusquely relieved of duty, according to Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, then liaison officer between the CIA and the Air Force. Prouty notes in his book The Secret Team: Since the Indonesian campaign was ... highly classified, most other government workers did not know why all these nice people (in the CIA] had been fired, and since they were cool to Nixon anyhow, they arose in unison to damn him when he ran for President in 1960. Indeed, Nixon reportedly believed that the CIA was responsible for providing the press in 1960 with very damaging data on a "missile gap" between the United States and Russia-which turned out to be questionable, if not wholly fictitious. He held the agency's leaks to be at least partly responsible for his defeat in the close 1960 election. When he ran again for election, in 1968, it developed that the CIA was keeping his national security advisor-at that time,, Richard Allen-under some sort of surveillance, and Nixon suspected that CIA officials were again trying to compromise him by finding embarrassing information (this time about his efforts to block a peace settlement in Vietnam). This suspicion did not end entirely when he was elected president: at an early meeting of the National Security Council, which superintends the Central Intelligence Agency, Nixon asked Richard Helms to brief the council and then leave. Helms, a Harvard-educated aristocrat of the intelligence community, could not believe that Nixon would break the long-standing practice of having the director of Central Intelligence attend National Security Council meetings. As president, Nixon fully understood that those who opposed him in the executive branch of the government had the power to undercut any of his programs, projects, or appointees by leaking embarrassing information-or misinformation-to the press or to Congress. William Safire, a chief speech writer for President Nixon, has pointed out: ... the press has been frequently used by the bureaucracy to build its protective shell. An adept bureaucrat, his domain threatened by a cutoff of funds, is able to alert those interest groups about to be adversely affected and to zero them in to the appropriate newsmen. A judicious leak, a horrendous prediction of the homelessness, starvation, pestilence the cutback would cause, a follow-up reaction story about the interest group, a letter campaign by them to influence congressmen, a severe editorial or two, and the public interest [as represented by the president) gives way to the bureaucracy focused interest. Since bureaucrats are entrenched in their positions by the traditions and tenure of civil service, or protected directly by powerful congressional subcommittees, a president has little power to countermand this insubordination unless he can first pierce the veil of anonymity provided to the bureaucrats by the press (or the staff of congressional committees). In order actually to rule over government, rather than merely reigning as a figurehead for the independent fiefdoms in the executive branch, Nixon needed to control at least one federal agency with investigative powers. As his staff quickly found out, this was no easy requisite to fill. Nixon feared not only the Central Intelligence Agency but also the Federal Bureau of Investigation while it remained under the directorship and control of' J. Edgar Hoover. He told close associates in the White House that he believed that Hoover had used information he had acquired through wiretaps and to blackmail Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, according to Krogh.* Although early in the administration, in 1969, Nixon had sought Hoover's help in wiretapping newsmen - and government officials (after the attempt to wiretap a newsman's phone by John Caldwell, a private detective hired by the White House with campaign funds, was thought to produce very quick results), the president's concern that Hoover would use

In-the weeks that followed, the controversy over the publication of these classified documents dominated the covers of the national newsmagazines and the choice time on network television. Meanwhile, the disclosures from the White House about the drug menace, the recalling of ambassadors from France, Turkey, and other countries, the cabinet-level meetings to deal with narcotics, the agreement to suppress opium, -production in Turkey, and other highlights of the heroin crusade were relegated to the back pages of newspapers and newsmagazines and given only minor coverage on television. While the timetable for creating a White House-controlled office with unprecedented investigative powers moved slowly ahead under the direction of G. Gordon Liddy and Egil Krogh, the president demanded immediate action to remedy the massive leaking ofthe Pentagon Papers. When Krogh returned from an inspection of the drug problem in Vietnam in late June, he was summoned to the Western White House, at San Clemente, California, and told by Ehrlichman that the president wanted him to work on a special project. The president's assistant for domestic affairs explained more fully the next day that this project involved investigating the background of Daniel Ellsberg, a former Rand Corporation employee who had provided the New York Times with the Pentagon Papers. Ehrlichman stressed that this was a joint undertaking of his Domestic Council and Henry Kissinger's National Security Council, and that Kissinger, then a national security advisor to the president, was supplying a top investigator on his staff named David Young, who along with Krogh would direct this new investigative unit. Krogh and Young established their Special Investigations Unit, which Young nicknamed "the Plumbers," in room 16 of the Executive Office Building, conveniently located on the ground floor near the narrow underground passageway leading directly to the White House. Since Krogh had little experience in spy work, he brought his more experienced assistant on the Domestic Council, Gordon Liddy, into room 16 as his deputy. Liddy, then working to develop a more permanent investigative capacity in the White House under the cover of a narcotics office, seemed to Krogh "a natural choice" for the Plumbers, who would engage in "all sorts of national-security work." Since the White House assumed that the FBI would not cooperate fully in investigating what was then thought to be a possible conspiracy of "establishment Democrats" involved with Ellsberg in the distribution of the Pentagon Papers, the Plumbers assumed that they would need the special services of the Central Intelligence Agency. The deputy director of the CIA, G eneral Robert Cushman, whom Krogh had worked with in developing international narcotics programs, agreed to provide Krogh with financing for "narcotics work," but held that the CIA could not get involved in a domestic investigation of this sort. Krogh did manage, however, to obtain the services of E. Howard Hunt, a former CIA official who reportedly had helped Allen Dulles. the most illustrious of the CIA directors, to write his book The Craft of Intelligence, and who officially had been detached from the CIA several months before going to work for Robert R. Mullen and Company, a public-relations firm at times serving as a front for CIA operatives. At the time, Hunt seemed to Krogh to be a logical candidate for the Plumbers and a possible member of the more permanent organization then being planned: Hunt had been in the CIA more than twenty years and had specialized in the distribution of "black," or misleading, information. He also had headed the CIA station in Uruguay and was involved at a high level with the successful CIA coup d'etat in Guatemala and the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, he therefore could be expected to have wide-ranging contacts with other CIA agents, executives, and independent contractors for various services. Furthermore, he came with the strong recommendation of Charles Colson, the special counsel to the president who specialized in dealing with political "enemies." Hunt saw the possibility of using black information in, the Ellsberg case, to denigrate as traitors a whole class of Democratic opponents to the war in Vietnam. While retaining his $25,000-a-year public-relations job at Mullen and Company, and still receiving his $24,000-a-year CIA pension, Hunt was put on the White House payroll as a $130-a-day

He instructed Pellerzi that the White House wanted this office to be administratively incorporated in the Department of Justice, but actually it would operate out of the executive office of the president. When Pellerzi, a careerist in the Department of Justice, read the details of the plan, he became decidedly alarmed. It called for a series of special strike forces to be formed around the country, each staffed with selected agents from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the Bureau of Customs, the Alcohol. Tobacco and Firearms unit, and the Internal Revenue Service, as well as several state police officers. Each strike force would be empowered to use court-authorized wiretaps and no-knock warrants in making arrests of narcotics pushers around the country. Special grand juries would then be convened to indict the arrestees. Both the strike forces and grand juries would be under the direct control of Myles Ambrose, who would operate both from the Justice Department and from the president's executive office and report directly to the president.* What alarmed Pellerzi most about this new organization was that it Would temporarily detached from the agency, employ a group of CIA agents, for domestic-intelligence purposes, which in his opinion was clearly illegal. (This was never carried out.) Pellerzi also doubted the propriety of a provision in the plan which gave the new office the authority to assign grants from the Law Enforcement Administration Agency to local police departments that cooperated with the new federal strike forces. Pellerzi read the proposal over several times and then decided to take it to Henry Petersen, who was then the assistant attorney general for the criminal division of the Department of Justice, in which the new office would ostensibly be located. * In fact, the White House staff. which was loosely called the Executive Office of the President and had grown from less than 100 persons when Nixon was vice-president to more than 1,200 by the time he had become president, was housed in a number of buildings, including the old Executive Office Building, the new Executive Office Building, and a row of brownstones, restored by Kennedy, on Jackson Street. Petersen, who had worked his way up from a messenger boy to an assistant attorney general, was equally dismayed by this new White House plan. He told Pellerzi that he suspected it was no more than "political crap" designed to help the Nixon administration in the 1972 election, and he suggested that Pellerzi use his special talents in administrative procedures to slow down the implementation of this new office. He also said that he would attempt to select a deputy director for this new office, if it were finally approved, who would resist political pressures. As for the possible illegalities, Petersen assured Pellerzi that he would take them up with Richard Kleindienst, then the deputy attorney general, since Mitchell had left on his Christmas vacation. Upon hearing the suggestion that this new office would employ CIA liaisons, Kleindienst called Richard Helms and told him what the White House was now proposing. Helms categorically rejected the proposal as a violation of the Central Intelligence Agency's charter, as Kleindienst had assumed he would do, and Kleindlenst then suggested that they work together to kill this particularly disturbing part of the proposal. Eventually they succeeded in eliminating CIA agents from the plan. Meanwhile, Pellerzi and Petersen managed to restrict the funds that could be used for special grand juries and to limit the White House takeover of the drug program was imminent. He immediately called Attofney General Mitchell, who was vacationing in Florida, and asked what this televised "presidential meeting" meant to his agency. Mitchell replied that he had not been told about any White House actions, but Ingersoll was not reassured. (The same evening, at the Playboy Plaza Hotel in Miami, Liddy, who drafted the original presidential option paper for this new office, and Hunt, a consultant on the plan, met with Jack Bauman, a former CIA agent and specialist in surreptitious entries, to discuss other operations that they claimed would function under the aegis of the White House.) In the next month the White House strategists easily overrode the combined opposition of Assistant Attorneys General Pellerzi and Petersen, Ingersoll, and Rossides. In early January, Krogh told Ingersoll in no uncertain terms that since the BNDD had refused to

The office reported directly to the president through its head, Myles Ambrose, who simultaneously served as special consultant to the president. ODALE bypassed most of the traditional bureaucratic restraints on its operations: nevertheless, the plan to utilize the intelligence assets of the Central Intelligence Agency was stymied by the opposition of career officials at the Department of Justice CIA. This, however, was only a temporary setback. The struggle at the FBI to succeed J. Edgar Hoover provided the House strategists with an opportunity to take over at least part domestic-intelligence operation at the FBI by playing on the ambitions of its associate director, William C. Sullivan. During the Johnson administration Sullivan had designed the FBI's counterintelligence program, which among other things harassed Martin Luther King and civil rights organizations and which gave the Nixon White House some leverage over him. In the early years of the Nixon administration he realized that his rise to Power in the FBI was being blocked by Cartha "Deke" DeLoach, who was third in command at the FBI. In light of this opposition Sullivan could succeed Hoover only if he was the personal candidate of President Nixon, he thus went to great lengths, according to his associates in the FBI, "to play ball with the White House." He worked with John Dean on drafting the ill-fated Huston Plan, even though Hoover and the FBI executives opposed it. And when the White House wanted to wiretap members of the National Security Council staff and journalists, Sullivan arranged for the FBI to undertake these "national security" tasks for the president. The procedures for the FBI required that such White House requests be routed through the office of Deke DeLoach and Inspector George Quinn, but Sullivan arranged it so that the White House requests would be processed personally by him, and both DeLoach and Quinn would not have direct knowledge of the very unorthodox wiretap operations requested by the White House. DeLoach feared that this arrangement would effectively give the White House control over Sullivan's domestic-intelligence division and demanded that Sullivan return to the more normal procedures of the bureau. Sullivan, who was now working closely with such White House strategists as John Dean, then an assistant to Attorney General Mitchell, and Robert Mardian, the head of the Department of Justice's internal-security division, managed to get Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig to intervene directly and write mernoranda which supported the special arrangement between Sullivan's division and the White House. In the wake of these memoranda Hoover acquiesced and permitted Sullivan to limit the access to the transcripts and authorizations of wiretaps to a few highly placed officials in the domestic-intelligence division, which excluded DeLoach. In effect, then, Mardian, Dean, and Sullivan controlled a bureau within a bureau which could install "national security" wiretaps for the president. When the White House strategists feared that Hoover might attempt to use the transcripts of these wiretaps to blackmail the White House, Mardian arranged through Sullivan to transfer them from the FBI to John Ehrlichman's safe in the White House. When Hoover found out about this maneuver, he locked Sullivan out of the office (by having his locks changed while he was on vacation). Realizing that his days with the FBI were numbered, and believing that the present administration of the FBI had become inefficient, if not corrupt, Sullivan pressed Dean and Mardian to create another domestic-intelligence unit. Dean fully realized that the White House could use this ambition of Sullivan's for its own purpose. He later explained to the president, "What Bill Sullivan's desire in life is, is to set up a domestic national security intelligence system, a White House program. He says we are deficient. He says we have never been efficient, because Hoover lost his guts several years ago." The problem was simply to find a cover under which such a White House intelligence system could be created for Sullivan. The war on heroin conveniently served this purpose. The idea of creating a small intelligence unit as part of the White House's narcotics program was first suggested by Egil Krogh in the summer of 1971. Krogh explained to his staff assistants working on the narcotics problem at the Domestic Council that the only organization in the government capable of "tracking the narcotics traffickers" was the CIA, but that agency was reluctant to become involved in a law-enforcement

[CTRL] The Round Table - Bilderberg Network
.. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "CyberDude" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Round Table - Bilderberg Network Date: Monday, August 21, 2000 5:07 AM THE ROUND TABLE - BILDERBERG NETWORK by David Icke One of the first parts of the Illuminati network that new researchers discover is the group of organisations which connect into the British-based secret society called The Round Table. These include the Bilderberg Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Club of Rome. This network is not the most powerful expression of the Illuminati. There are many more elite groups within it's web, but these "Round Table" organisations are a key part of its day to day manipulation of politics, banking, business, the military (especially NATO), "education", and so on. You can read about all this in great detail in my books, And The Truth Shall Set You Free and The Biggest Secret. But briefly, the network was created to advance through the 20th century and beyond the Illuminati agenda for the centralised control of Planet Earth. The Round Table was created in London (the Illuminati's operational centre) in the latter years of the 19th century. Its first official "leader" was Cecil Rhodes, the man who mercilessly manipulated Southern Africa and took those lands from the black peoples. Although, in theory, black people are back in political control of Africa, the real decisions are still made by the European and American elites via their black puppet presidents and leaders. "Independence" is an illusion. Rhodes played tribe against tribe until they destroyed each other in war, so allowing Rhodes and the British to take over. The same is happening today in the continuing wars in Africa, details of which you will find on this site. Rhodes said the goal of the Round Table was to create World Government controlled by Britain (the Illuminati based in Britain). When he died in 1902, he left money in his will to fund "Rhodes Scholarships" in which overseas students had their expenses paid to study at Oxford University - the centre of the Illuminati's manipulation of "education". The ratio of these "Rhodes Scholars" who go back to their countries to enter positions of political, economic, and media power is enormous compared with the general student population. They act as Illuminati agents. The most famous Rhodes Scholar in the world today is Bill Clinton, the two-times President of the United States. But while Rhodes was the official front man for the Round Table, the real controllers and funders were, and are, the House of Rothschild, the banking dynasty which is at the heart of so much of the global conspiracy. This is not an anti-Jewish remark because the Rothschilds claim to be Jewish. The Rothschilds have manipulated Jewish people more than any other!! The inner elite of this Round Table in the US and UK were the key members of their government's war administrations before and during the First World War.. As is provable with documentation, they worked together to engineer the circumstances that led to that global conflict. Through their technique of create-the-problem-then-offer-the-solution, they wanted to destroy the global status quo with that war and therefore have the opportunity to re-draw the world in their agenda's image when the conflict was over. This is precisely what they did. Power in the world was in far fewer hands after the war than before, and this was advanced even further when they engineered the Second World War also. This has continued to this day and, indeed, is getting quicker all the time. In 1919, came the Versailles Peace Conference near Paris when the elite of the Round Table from Britain and the United States, people like Alfred Milner, Edward Mandel House, and Bernard Baruch, were appointed to represent their countries at the meetings which decided how the world would be changed as a result of the war these same people had created. They decided to impose impossible reparations payments on Germany, so ensuring the collapse of the post-war Weimar Republic amid unbelievable ecomonic collapse and thus create the very circumstances that brought Hitler (a Rothschild, see related article) to power. It was while in Paris that these Illuminati, Round Table, members met at the Hotel Majestic to begin the process of creating the Bilderberg-CFR-RIIA-Trilateral Commission network. They also decided at Versailles that they now all supported the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. As I show in my books, EVERY ONE of them was either a Rothschild bloodline or was controlled by them. The American President, Woodrow Wilson, was "advised" at Versailles by Colonel House and Bernard Baruch, both
[CTRL] The Wire -Book: Nixon Took Drugs, Beat Wife
from: http://wire.ap.org/ Click Here: A HREF="http://wire.ap.org/"The Wire - Breaking News from the Associated Pr /A - Book: Nixon Took Drugs, Beat Wife WASHINGTON (AP) A new biography asserts that Richard Nixon over many years took a mood-altering drug without a prescription and that he beat his wife at times of personal crisis a claim a Nixon intimate calls ``inconceivable.'' ``The Arrogance of Power'' by Anthony Summers will be published Monday. It chiefly concerns the aspects of Nixon's life ``that he and his supporters have preferred to conceal,'' writes Summers, a BBC journalist and author of biographies of J. Edgar Hoover and Marilyn Monroe. The author named his sources for most of the book's assertions. But many of those he quotes got their information second-hand. Some of the book's claims have been made in the past but in less detail. The book said that in 1968 Nixon was given 1,000 capsules of the drug Dilantin, an anti-convulsant used to counter epileptic seizures, by Jack Dreyfus, founder of an investment firm and an enthusiastic promoter of the drug. Dreyfus later supplied another 1,000, it said. White House physician Dr. Walter Tkach, ``a compliant doctor who would do exactly as a patient asked,'' was also a user of the drug himself, the book said, citing Nixon aide John D. Ehrlichman as its source. When asked later if Nixon was still taking the drug, Tkach replied, ``I don't know, but the amount of pills in the bottle in his bathroom is reducing in size, so I suppose he is,'' according to Summers. ``The Physicians' Desk Reference'' lists a number of adverse reactions to Dilantin, including slurred speech, decreased coordination and mental confusion. Summers wrote that the relationship of Nixon and his wife was one of ``prolonged marital difficulty, of physical abuse, of threatened divorce.'' But that view was contested by John Taylor, Nixon's chief aide in his retirement years, now director of the Richard M. Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Calif. Summers' claims that Nixon abused his wife came from secondary sources. Among others, he cited journalist Seymour Hersh, who said he learned of three instances of Nixon wife beatings but did not identify his sources; retired Washington lawyer John Sears, who was a campaign consultant to Nixon; and the late Bill Van Petten, a Los Angeles area reporter, who years later told a friend, not identified by Summers, that just before or after his 1962 loss to Brown Nixon beat Mrs. Nixon ``so badly she could not go out the next day.'' Summers said Sears told him that he had been told ``that Nixon had hit her (Pat Nixon) in 1962 and that she had threatened to leave him over it. ... I'm not talking about a smack. He blackened her eye.'' Sears said he had been told of the beating by two lawyers, both now dead, Walter Taylor and Pat Hillings. Twenty-two years later, after he resigned in disgrace over the Watergate scandal, Nixon ``attacked'' his wife at their home in San Clemente, Calif., and she had to be treated at a hospital, Summers wrote, citing Hersh as his secondary source. The New York Times, which carried a story about the book Sunday, quoted Taylor, the former Nixon retirement aide, as responding on behalf of Nixon's daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower. ``It cannot possibly be true,'' Taylor told the Times. ``It is utterly inconceivable. Anyone who knows and worked with President Nixon knows first of all that he could not have done it, second of all that he would not have done it and third of all that had he done it there are innumerable people who would not have spoken to him and yet remained active in his life and in Mrs. Nixon's life until their deaths and beyond.'' home ] us news ] world ] business ] sports ] weather ] search ] help ] Copyright 2000 Associated Press.

[CTRL] Al Fayed Claims Fresh Diana Info
Al Fayed Claims Fresh Diana Info link 8-26-00 Mohamed Al Fayed today announced he will make fresh allegations about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and his son Dodi. The move seems sure to anger those close to Diana's sons, Princes William and Harry, who have repeatedly pleaded with the Egyptian tycoon to spare the two young men further public allegations. Diana and Dodi Fayed died when a Mercedes provided by Mr Al Fayed and driven by his employee, Henri Paul, ploughed into the 13th pillar in the Alma tunnel in Paris on August 31 1997. French police found that Paul, deputy head of security at Mr Al Fayed's Paris Ritz hotel, had been drinking heavily and was speeding when the accident happened. But Mr Al Fayed has refused to accept the French findings, repeatedly alleging that British security services engineered the crash and even trying to implicate the Duke of Edinburgh. John Macnamara, Mr Al Fayed's director of security, would give new information on his employer's claims at a press conference in the United States on Wednesday, the eve of the anniversary, according to a news release issued by Harrods. Mr Al Fayed's spokesman today declined to discuss details of what will be disclosed at the news conference, at the National Press Club in Washington. But the news release said the Egyptian tycoon would announce legal action against the United States Government over the accident, and make a videotaped statement about the crash. Mr Al Fayed has repeatedly called for CIA files relating to the accident to be made public, and the legal action may be a fresh attempt to obtain them. The release said videotapes of Diana's last minutes would be distributed. The news conference would also given details of what Mr Al Fayed claims was an attempted 20-million-dollar fraud involving claims about CIA files said to prove that the pair were murdered. Mr Macnamara would also give up-dates on the British and French investigations into the tragedy, the announcement added. © Associated Newspapers Ltd., 25 August 2000 A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] New Davidian evidence discovered
From: The Waco Tribune Herald http://www.accesswaco.com/auto/feed/news/local/2000/08/25/967259685.05572.2284.0009.html New Davidian evidence discovered By TOMMY WITHERSPOON Tribune-Herald staff writer A federal judge in Waco who presided over criminal and civil trials involving the 1993 Branch Davidian tragedy has ordered that unspecified newly discovered evidence in the case be turned over to his court. The two-sentence order, issued Friday afternoon by U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith Jr., does not specify what new evidence was found. "In this case, the court has learned that the Waco division United States Attorney's Office has discovered new evidence that may be relevant to this case, and that the United States Attorney may be reluctant to follow the Court's previous order and deliver such evidence to the Clerk of the Court," Smith wrote in his order. The judge directed the U.S. Marshals Service to take possession of the evidence and deliver it to the clerk of the court. Two members of the judge's staff declined to discuss the order, as did Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Durbin of the San Antonio U.S. Attorney's office. Bill Blagg of San Antonio, the U.S. attorney for the federal Western District of Texas, did not return phone messages to his office. The Waco U.S. Attorney's office is part of the Western District of Texas. Attorneys in the Waco office also did not return phone messages Friday afternoon. Smith's order comes six weeks after an advisory federal court jury in Waco cleared the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of wrongdoing in the April 19, 1993, fire at Mount Carmel that killed David Koresh and 75 of his followers. The ruling also cleared federal agents in the failed Feb. 28, 1993, raid that started the 51-day standoff. Michael Caddell of Houston, lead plaintiffs' attorney in the $675 million wrongful-death lawsuit, was out of town Friday and did not return phone messages to his office. Michael Bradford of Beaumont , U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas who represented the government in the civil lawsuit, also did not return phone messages left with his office. Thom Mrozek, a Justice Department spokesman, declined comment on the order, saying he had not had an opportunity to review it. The plaintiffs had alleged that the ATF used excessive force when 76 agents riding in cattle trailers stormed Mount Carmel to try to arrest Koresh on weapons violations. The suit also alleged that FBI agents accelerated a Justice Department-approved plan to demolish the building without authorization while inserting tear gas on April 19, 1993, and fired into the compound during the fire, trapping Branch Davidians inside. Smith has yet to issue a final judgment in the lawsuit. He has set a hearing for Sept. 18 at which he intends to hear evidence concerning the results of a re-creation at Fort Hood to test whether gunfire can be detected on aerial infrared videotape. Experts appointed by the court have said that the flashes on the FBI infrared tape are sunlight reflecting off debris around Mount Carmel and not flashes from gunfire. Most of the plaintiffs have indicated that they no longer wish to pursue the gunfire issue, so the hearing might be canceled.

[CTRL] Arutz-7 News: Sunday, August 27, 2000
Arutz Sheva News Service www.IsraelNationalNews.com Sunday, August 27, 2000 / Av 26, 5760 TODAY'S HEADLINES: 1. THREE SOLDIERS KILLED IN BOTCHED MISSION 2. WHAT WENT WRONG? 3. ABU HUNUD C.V. 4. MAJORITY OF MKS SIGN ON BARAK-BLOCKING BILL 5. IN SEARCH OF A NATIONALIST CONSENSUS 6. AIR FORCE TO FORFEIT CRUCIAL EARLY WARNING STATION 7. PM: ARAFAT HOLDS KEY TO FUTURE 8. A CHANGE OF PACE 9. PRESIDENT TO COURT 1. THREE SOLDIERS KILLED IN BOTCHED MISSION Efforts to capture one of the most-wanted Palestinian terrorists failed last night, when three members of an elite IDF unit were fired on and killed, apparently by the terrorist himself. In an attempt to soften the blow of the botched mission, Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh said that several weeks ago, the army did confiscate tons of explosives in a laboratory overseen by the terrorist. The incident began at 9:45 Saturday night, when IDF troops arrived in Kfar Atzira, north of the Shomron town of Shechem; the mission was to apprehend arch-terrorist Mahmoud Abu-Hunud, who was hiding in one of the houses there. For reasons not yet clear, Abu-Hunud was able to spot the unit, and shot at the soldiers from the rooftop of his house, killing three of them. Other IDF soldiers returned fire, lightly injuring Abu-Hunud, who then fled. "After a difficult chase through orchards and terraced farms near the village, Abu-Hunud reached an Arab-run hospital in Shechem, and soon turned himself into the Palestinian Authority paramilitary police," reports Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman. "It was during the pursuit through those orchards that a fourth soldier was injured, it seems, from 'friendly IDF fire.'" Surgeons at the Sheba-Tel Hashomer Hospital operated on the soldier and he is now fully conscious, and "feeling fine." IDF forces inspected the house and its environs throughout the night and into the morning, after which it was razed. In the process, they apprehended another Palestinian, named Nidal, who had been in the house with Abu-Hunud. The dead soldiers are: Twenty-one year-old Staff Seargents Ro'i Even Fielsteiner of Hod Hasharon; Liron Sharvit, 20 of Moshav Beit Hashmonai; and Nir Yaacobi of Tel Aviv. Liron Sharvit was buried at 4:45 PM this afternoon in the Ramla military cemetery, while Nir Yaacobi will be interred in the Kiryat Shaul cemetery at 6:45 PM. Prime Minister Ehud Barak issued a statement this morning, offering his sympathies for the deaths, and expressing understanding for "the deep mourning of the families who lost their sons in the incident." He said that "despite the high price, Israel will continue to fight terrorism with all its strength. The terrorists and those who dispatch them will not escape. The IDF and the security forces will continue to stand guard and defend the State of Israel and its citizens." 2. WHAT WENT WRONG? By mid-morning, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz had convened a press conference to discuss the background of the unsuccessful mission. He told reporters that he has appointed a special commission of inquiry to identify the causes of the debacle. During his review of the incident, Mofaz indicated that "very grave" errors by one of the support units led to the tragedy. Despite the initial IDF reports that the terrorist had shot the soldiers, Lt.-Gen. Mofaz did not rule out the possibility that the soldiers were killed by "friendly fire." IDF sources dismissed early rumors that PA paramilitary police had leaked information about the mission to Abu Hunud. Arutz-7's Huberman explained that, as a matter of routine, the IDF establishes contact with the PA forces in a given village shortly before launching such a mission: "The reason for this is simple: the area is categorized as 'Area B-plus' - joint Israeli and PA control, with the addition of a PA police station. If we were not to warn them that we are entering, we risk being shot at by the PA forces," Huberman said. "The army spokesman felt it was unlikely that the PA gave Abu Hunud advanced warning of the mission. Israeli security officials believe that the PA has an interest in fighting terror at present, to ensure international support for the declaration of a Palestinian state. Secondly, such missions are accompanied by a careful monitoring of local telephones and cellular phones by the IDF; the army did not pinpoint any calls to Abu Hunud's house. They also said that coordination with the PA began 'only at the last second,' and that it 'is hard to believe that information was conveyed to Abu Hunud so quickly.'" Correspondent Huberman then turned to what army sources suggest was a more likely cause: "Some have noted that the hour - around 10 PM - was a miscalculation. At that time, villagers are still up. This town is a hotbed of Hamas activity. It was widely known that Abu Hunud was hiding out there, and that he was being sought by Israel. So it is possible that villagers had identified the forces
[CTRL] NM: Reed Irvine Carried Out of NTSB's TWA 800 Meeting
Newsmax-Inside Cover Saturday August 26, 2000 2:25 PM EST Reed Irvine Carried Out of NTSB's TWA 800 Meeting Accuracy in Media chairman Reed Irvine appears to really have gotten under the skin of the National Transportation Safety Board. This past Tuesday in Washington the NTSB offered its final report on the July 1996 crash of TWA 800. For some time Irvine and AIM have been critics of the government conclusion that an explosion in the center fuel tank caused the downing of the jumbo jet. Irvine says all the evidence points to a missile. Irvine helped form a new group called the "TWA Eyewitness Alliance." The alliance, with AIM's help, took out two large ads in the Washington Times denouncing the government conclusion. The ad points to the fact that by the FBI's own count 260 individual eyewitnesses saw a streak of light before the explosion, and 96 witnesses saw something rise from the surface before the explosion - evidence Irvine says indicates a missile was fired at the jet. Just before the NTSB meeting this past Tuesday Irvine decided to hand out copies of the ad in the lobby outside the meeting hall. A security guard quickly told Irvine he would have to stop. Irvine explained that this was public property and there was a little thing called the First Amendment that allowed him to do it. Minutes later the guard came back and said the building was leased by the government, and that he would have to quit handing out copies of the ad or be escorted out of the building. "The only way I will leave is if you carry me," Irvine told the guard. Irvine went limp and laid on the floor. The guards picked the 150-pound media critic and deposited him street-side. Several TV cameras were there, including ABC News, which aired the footage of Irvine being forcibly removed. = 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] NYP: HUD PLAYS FAVORITES WITH HANDOUTS
New York Post-August 27, 2000 HUD PLAYS FAVORITES WITH HANDOUTS By ROD DREHER AL GORE promises to fight for the little people against "powerful interests." But for some little people who happen to be desperately poor, the "powerful interest" crushing their hopes is the politicized U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Blighted communities in key political battleground states stood a much greater chance of getting a redevelopment grant this year from the HUD under its Hope VI program, which is aimed at helping the nation's most troubled neighborhoods. Of the $513 million in grants recently announced by HUD under the program, $341 million in revitalization money went to states where Al Gore has a shot at beating George W. Bush this fall. Close to home, swing-state New Jersey got a cool $35 million from the agency. An additional $50 million in grants targeted at removing run-down buildings was heavily distributed to swing states where Gore could benefit by a boost. If you are among the urban poor whose congressional representative happens to be a Democrat - well, gosh, HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo is a regular Regis Philbin. Over 80 percent of the grants, some $420 million worth, went to impoverished areas represented by members of Gore's party. But if you're poor, urban and living in a non-swing state, or, God forbid, represented in Washington by a Republican - well, better luck next year, bub. So what, that's politics in an election year, eh? Easy to say if you're not Joe Johnson. Johnson, who heads the Baton Rouge, La., public-housing agency, has been working day and night for months to win a Hope VI grant. The federal money would have been used to revitalize a severely depressed minority neighborhood between downtown and Louisiana State University. It's the second time Johnson's agency has applied for a Hope VI grant. After failing the first time, Johnson huddled with civic, corporate and community leaders to improve the application for 2000. For every HUD dollar requested, Johnson had lined up four dollars in matching pledges from local and state government, and private enterprise. The grant proposal was turned down. "We felt it was a sure thing. I guess that's what makes it so difficult at the end," sighs Johnson. Lori Burgess, who represents the area on the city council, said the Hope VI grant was the ailing neighborhood's best hope to get flat off its back. "Unfortunately, we got caught in an election year," she says with a dejected, "what do you expect?" air in her voice. Rep. Richard Baker, Baton Rouge's man in Congress, is not as sanguine about HUD's decision. Baker, a safe-seat Republican from a state firmly in the Bush column, finds the distribution of Hope VI money cause for alarm. In an Aug. 18 letter to HUD's congressional liaison, Baker requested a "thorough explanation" of the grant-selection process, and suggested that the process was partisan, at the expense of his impoverished constituents. Yet Baker stopped short of demanding an investigation, pending a response from the agency. A HUD spokeswoman did not return The Post's call Friday seeking comment. Republican Party chairman Jim Nicholson wasn't as cautious as Baker, alleging that Gore "has turned HUD into his de facto campaign headquarters. "This is a gross misuse of precious taxpayer dollars at the expense of people who truly need it," Nicholson says. The apparent HUD fiasco is another piece of mounting evidence that the Clinton-Gore administration is baldly manipulating the levers of government to help the vice president's campaign. For his part, Joe Johnson doesn't have time to speculate about the administration's election-year shenanigans that appear to have cost dearly the poor black people his agency serves. Says Johnson, "I'd rather have the money than an explanation."

Re: [CTRL] NYP: HUD PLAYS FAVORITES WITH HANDOUTS
Nice to see Al Gore taking such an interest in "the little people"..Hud Money is always nice, but I keep remembering Gore as a Slum Landlord who refused to keep his property in reasonable order..and he cares about "the little people". He should have deeded the property over to that old lady and he could have gotten 5 million votes.instead, the Goliath chose to take on the "little" person. Someday these little people will realize that united they are 6 billion strong and in the USA it is the little people, these "faceless, nameless" people who put that idiot in office. Gore is such an imposter; everything he does is planned even to the big sloppy kiss he planted on his wife at the convention..he is still about as sexy as Quasimoto the Bell Ringer and has the appeal of a vampire bat.

[CTRL] Secret Torpedo Test Doomed The Kursk
August 27 2000 RUSSIA Secret torpedo test 'blew sub apart' Nicholas Rufford and Stephen Grey TWO civilian experts from a Russian military plant were conducting secret munitions tests aboard the Kursk submarine, which sank after the hull was ripped apart in an accident, it emerged last night. The final moments of the doomed craft have been pieced together by Western military experts, who believe a test firing went disastrously wrong, igniting highly inflammable propellant and detonating missile and torpedo warheads. The resulting explosions blew a huge hole in the right-hand side of the Kursk's nose, where the torpedo room is located. Water flooded in, causing the pride of the Russian submarine fleet to sink in seconds. Any members of the crew who may have survived had no time to close watertight doors, or to send distress signals. Self-sealing emergency hatches failed because the submarine's control systems were knocked out. Military experts said they believed the crew of the Kursk were testing one of two weapons systems: an anti-submarine missile that fired from a torpedo tube out of the sea, then re-entered it to attack submarines; or an upgraded version of a fast and silent torpedo called the Squall. Accidental ignition of the propulsion system of either weapon before they launched would have had devastating consequences for the Kursk. Rustam Usmanov, head of the Dagdizel military plant on the Caspian Sea, told The Sunday Times that his chief engineer had been on the Kursk to monitor weapons tests. Mamed Gadzhiyev, a veteran weapons designer with Dagdizel, and Arnold Borisov, another employee of the plant, were among the 118 men who died. Usmanov denied, however, that the two men were working on a "secret weapon" for the Russian navy. "Mamed Gadzhiyev and Arnold Borisov were supervising a regular test launch of torpedoes on the Kursk," he said. "The task of our men was to supervise and check if the torpedo was working as it should. Our specialists were not dealing with any new or modernised torpedoes." Western experts say they believe the Russian navy was upgrading the Squall, a torpedo that can reach speeds of 200 knots. It is unique because it travels in a gas capsule, which reduces friction with the surrounding water. "The weapon is very clever; it uses propellers to boost it out of the sub, then a rocket kicks in at a safe distance, burning liquid propellant," said one British expert. "The danger is if the second stage fires inside the submarine. Then you can say goodnight." Russian military strategists describe the Squall as a rocket rather than a torpedo, and insist there were no rockets on the Kursk. However, a letter written by a crew member to his mother, which arrived the day the vessel went down, said: "We are sitting in port, loading up rockets." Further support for the "secret weapon" theory came last week from Alexander Rutskoi, governor of the region from which many of the submarine crew were recruited. Rutskoi, a former Russian vice-president, said he had been told by two high-ranking military officers that civilian experts were aboard the Kursk to test new torpedoes, but declined to give any further details. American experts believe that one of the Kursk's rocket- propelled anti-submarine weapons - an SSN15 or an SSN16 - could have become stuck in its launch tube and exploded. According to the Russians, the last contact with the vessel was on August 11. Gennady Lyachin, the Kursk's commander, had successfully test- fired a missile during a military exercise. He asked permission to fire again on Saturday morning. Admiral Vyacheslav Popov gave the go-ahead from his nuclear-powered flagship, Peter the Great. There was no further contact. "The submarine's objective was to launch a cruise missile, and then, in a certain area, to identify missiles and hit the main target with a torpedo salvo," said Igor Sergeyev, the Russian defence minister. "The commander reported having fulfilled the first task and, by 1800 (1400 GMT on August 12), he was expected to report the fulfilment of the second task. The submarine failed to establish a communication link." What had happened in the meantime remains a matter of dispute between Russian and Western military experts. Sergeyev was still insisting yesterday that the most likely cause of the disaster was a collision with a foreign submarine. The Russians have produced no evidence to back this claim, however, and Sergeyev also admitted it was difficult to say what time the accident occurred, because the exercise involved maintaining radio silence for extended periods. Western experts have almost unanimously rejected the Russian version. A collision certainly could not account for the explosions detected by a Norwegian seismic institute at 11.28am and 11.39am Russian time (0728 and 0739 GMT) on August 12, the second of which registered 3.5 on the Richter scale. "This was the single most powerful explosion we have ever registered
[CTRL] EU Adopts Strong New Secrecy Rules
EU Reported to Adopt Strong New Secrecy Rules Saturday, 26 August 2000 6:19 (ET) EU Reported to Adopt Strong New Secrecy Rules BRUSSELS, Belgium Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The International Herald Tribune reports European Union governments have quietly adopted new secrecy rules. In an article published Saturday, The Herald Tribune said the new rules apparently limit the public's right to know what EU officials are doing in several different areas of both military and civilian activities. According to the news report, the rules were adopted at the urging of Javier Solana, the EU's high representative for foreign and security affairs. Taking the action were the European ambassadors to the EU in Brussels who then made it known only in an unpublicized written procedure in Brussels while the European Parliament was on vacation. According to some "unnamed" EU officials, the action is expected to provoke a political uproar when the Parliament returns next month. The European Parliament and the relatively new European Council have both been struggling to increase - not lessen - openness on EU matters. As described in the Herald Tribune, the new rules impose the same kind of secrecy on various European matters as the military secrecy directives employed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Solana was NATO secretary-general until last year. As spelled out in the unpublicized memo, the new rules assert information may be withheld from the European public on a vast number of security issues, including "public security, the security and defense of the Union or one of its member states, military or nonmilitary crisis management, international relations, monetary stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations." The news report also describes rules "so restrictive" that even the fact that certain classified documents exist may not be disclosed. A spokesman at the European Council Secretariat, which Solana heads, has declined to describe how much information can be kept from the public. But he did say restrictions likely would be limited to operational details about EU military or nonmilitary engagements in places like the Balkans. European ombudsman Jacob Sodemanhas, who has most vocally and openly campaigned for greater transparency in the EU, according to the herald Tribune has attacked the new secrecy code as unnecessary, saying that covering military and nonmilitary issues with similar rules only confuses the issue. He earlier told the the newspaper Aamulehti in Tampere, Finland, that Solana's appointment had been a "serious mistake." Until now, the code of practice adopted in 1993, permitted EU citizens to request any EU document, and EU institutions were obliged to justify refusals on a case-by-case basis. The herald Tribune says this has now been amended. The EU reports it received 6,700 requests for public documents lastr year - in general requests from lawyers, academics and journalists. The EU says it refused in only 900 occasions. In many of those cases, the matter was appealed to the ombudsman. -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International. All rights reserved.

Re: [CTRL] Court Rules Cross-Dresser Can Stay in the U.S. on Asylum Claim
June - I have been sitting here watching PBS and a man who is an alleged homosexual, and who played one in a movie, do a routine - he is a little boy, and he has a little bed - he is a Peter Pan and a Michael Jackon and a Barney Frank all in one. This cross dresser that stabbed this youg girl (and she married into a family of famous movie star who is still around - her father was a friend of mine)this cross dresser, tried to kill her for one reason - this sicko dressed like a woman wearing slimey lipstick hated her because she was a woman. A few weeks prior to this incident her husband had been killed in an accident.her new husband is a kind and gentle man...strange, the newspapers hardly carried a few lines on this one.But then working for a US Congressman at the time - and later, well one of this congressman's aides was in a phone booth and shot by who knows what.I know that guy didn't like perverts anymore than I did - and was retired FBI. Queers usually do play role models.one plays mommy and the other daddy...now they want little kids to play with like Barbie dolls. This creep on TV like Rosie O/Donnell and Michael Jackson like to portray themselves as having a following of children.this man in our town did to, but when you live in a half million dollar home guess you can buy most anything. When this guy was murdered ini his home by his lover, he played the woman I understand for he loved children so - evreybody gave a sign of relief.He got away with a lot, and his friends got away with murder too..this kid that murdred him, was just that - a kid, who was attracted to his wealth. So we have Rosie dressing like a little elf in Santa's workshp; this creep tonight in a little kids bed playing little kid surrounded with little kids, like Michael Jackson.so what is Jackson. I saw him once in a trashy bar for 2 minutes and I left; my friends wanted to see him, but the place was foul and run by organized crime figure later involved in murder also...he was little kid then, with this huge Afro Cut and who would ever dream he would turn out to be such a whatever it is. So you think queers are cute and cross dressers acceptable? I do not. Work for a court sometime - see a case where a perverted twisted man slammed a baby's head against a wall until it was mush, so his playmate would come back out and play. So let them stay in their own yard..but it seems these twisted people are trying to get into your childs play area to destroy their childhood and dreams. I have had 3 years abnormal psychology in college..I know what these people are like, and if it is normal now, something is wrong. Perhaps you think it is alright for a pedophile/homosexual, playing the role of the mother, molests 3 little kids? I do not and I judge this man as I would the others..if you could call that a man. His father offered to have him castrated; and I thought gee whiz, that is what this Jewish Mafia Doctor wanted to do to the black doctor - the one with the neo nazi literature, for he was a fag also. Hoffa protected him from the Italian mob in prison...while othrs said this man was CIA which was ludicrous. A.

Re: [CTRL] The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion More than once in the course of the last two centuries, anti-Masonry has been fused with an older hatred, hatred of the Jews, that is to say anti-Semitism. Probably, the irrational nature of both phobias facilitates their juxtaposition. Be that as it may, from the middle of the 19th Century, we are witnessing an increasing wave of simultaneously anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic propaganda. Possibly, the paradigmatic work of this class of "literature" is an opuscule entitled "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" sometimes also known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." This is one of the most well-known literary falsifications in history, based on plagiarism and fraud from the very beginning of its gestation. Nevertheless, this swindle has captivated the imagination of many people who are sensible in other respects, and it has been transformed into the "source of indispensable information" in the baggage of all the anti-Semites and anti-Masons. In this work, we will examine the history of this fraud, will demonstrate its absolute falsification and we will take a look at the lamentable consequences that it has had in modern history, as much of the point of view of the Jewish people, as of Freemasonry. Sources of information In the preparation of this work, I depended mainly on the works of three investigators: Professor Jose Antonio Ferrer Benimeli, who in his book "The Judeo-Masonic-Communist Conspiracy"1 dedicates a long chapter to the subject that occupies us (pp. 135-210); Norman Cohn, author of "Justification for Genocide"2, where it makes a history of the antecedents of the Protocols, its evolution and its consequences; and Herman Bernstein, author of "The truth on the 'Protocols of Zion'"3, where it not only relates the history of the mystification, but reproduces the complete text of the book of Joly (pp. 75-258), the text of the news articles that appeared in the London Times (pp. 259-264), the complete text of the Protocols (pp. 295-359), and other authentic documents. Also, I consulted other works to clarify or to add certain details, as the book "Must men hate?" of the North-American lawyer Sigmund Livingston4, who was the first President of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai-B'rith, and who in his book adds an interesting personal testimony (pp. 39-49) to the meticulous relation presented by the authors mentioned before. All these works are included in detail in the notes at the end of this work. Antecedents The connection of anti-Masonry and anti-Semitism does not begin with the Protocols. Already on the occasion of the Dreyfus affair, that began in 1894 and continued intermittently until 1906, the French press and also that of other countries5 connected the Judaism of Dreyfus with the Freemasonry of many of his more loyal defenders. Still earlier, Father Agustin Barruel in his "Memory to serve the History of Jacobinism,"6 blamed Freemasonry (confusing it with the Illuminati of Bavaria) of being instrumental of the French Revolution (and also of being the heirs of the Templars). Although Barruel did not find historical data to allow him to extend his attack including the Jews (between the famous French revolutionaries there were no Jews), other later authors were not so punctilious, and did not have scruples in inventing what did not exist in reality. Numerous books published before and after the Protocols maintain that Judaism is at the origin of Freemasonry. We will mention Monsignor Leon Meurin, Archbishop of Port-Louis, Mauritius, who published in 1893 a book entitled "La Franc-Maçonnerie, Synagogue de Satan." The author says on page 260: "Everything in Freemasonry is fundamentally Jewish, exclusively Jewish, enthusiastically Jewish, from the beginning to the end."7 The historical truth, that can be found in any serious work on the history of Freemasonry, is that lodges were exclusively Christian in their origin, and only with the creation of the Grand Lodge of London (1717) began the process of de-Christianization, that culminated in 1813. At the time of the union of the two rival Grand Lodges of England, when the United Grand Lodge of England and Wales was created and rituals were again revised, eliminating from them the last remaining Christian symbolisms, the institution transformed into the universal vocation that we now know. It is worthwhile, as a side commentary, to remember that until today some Grand Lodges (especially in the Scandinavian countries that practice the Swedish Rite) do not allow to admit people who do not profess the Christian religion. Furthermore, even in those countries where Jews and members of other religions are welcome in Masonic lodges, other Masonic bodies are closed before them, exclusively reserved to Christian Masons.

Re: [CTRL] Alex Constantine v. David Horowitz
[EMAIL PROTECTED],Internet writes: Hitler only killed 10 million, Hitler's troops killed a bare minimum of 20 million Russians. They Russians say it may have as high as fifty million.

Statism (the most murderous theology masquerading as political thought of the 20th century) Statism predates the 20th century. And murderous as it is, it's not as murderous as Nazism or Bolshevism. But it runs a very close third. The American state, for example, has murdered half a million Iraqis in the last ten years, almost all of them women and children. Murdering people with darker skins in order to make a profit, is an old American tradition. It even predates the rise of the American state. America's very land mass itself was looted from the corpses of millions. America owes its existence to genocide.

[CTRL] Controversial book reports Nixon beat wife, took drugs
Controversial book reports Nixon beat wife, took drugs The Associated Press WASHINGTON (August 27, 2000 7:23 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - A new biography asserts that Richard Nixon over many years took a mood-altering drug without a prescription and that he beat his wife at times of personal crisis - a claim a Nixon intimate calls "inconceivable." "The Arrogance of Power" by Anthony Summers will be published Monday. It chiefly concerns the aspects of Nixon's life "that he and his supporters have preferred to conceal," writes Summers, a BBC journalist and author of biographies of J. Edgar Hoover and Marilyn Monroe. The author named his sources for most of the book's assertions. But many of those he quotes got their information second-hand. Some of the book's claims have been made in the past but in less detail. The book said that in 1968 Nixon was given 1,000 capsules of the drug Dilantin, an anti-convulsant used to counter epileptic seizures, by Jack Dreyfus, founder of an investment firm and an enthusiastic promoter of the drug. Dreyfus later supplied another 1,000, it said. White House physician Dr. Walter Tkach, "a compliant doctor who would do exactly as a patient asked," also was a user of the drug, the book said, citing Nixon aide John D. Ehrlichman as its source. Summers said that when Tkach was later asked if Nixon was still taking the drug, he reportedly replied, "I don't know, but the amount of pills in the bottle in his bathroom is reducing in size, so I suppose he is." "The Physicians' Desk Reference" lists a number of adverse reactions to Dilantin, including slurred speech, decreased coordination and mental confusion. Summers wrote that the relationship of Nixon and his wife was one of "prolonged marital difficulty, of physical abuse, of threatened divorce." But that view was contested by John Taylor, Nixon's chief aide in his retirement years, now director of the Richard M. Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Calif. Summers' claims that Nixon abused his wife came from secondary sources. Among others, he cited journalist Seymour Hersh, who said he learned of three instances of Nixon wife beatings but did not identify his sources; retired Washington lawyer John Sears, who was a campaign consultant to Nixon; and the late Bill Van Petten, a Los Angeles area reporter. The book reports that just before or after his 1962 loss to former California Gov. Pat Brown, Nixon beat Mrs. Nixon "so badly she could not go out the next day." Summers said Sears told him that he had been told "that Nixon had hit her (Pat Nixon) in 1962 and that she had threatened to leave him over it. ... I'm not talking about a smack. He blackened her eye." Sears said he had been told of the beating by two lawyers, both now dead, Walter Taylor and Pat Hillings. Twenty-two years later, after he resigned in disgrace over the Watergate scandal, Nixon "attacked" his wife at their home in San Clemente, Calif., and she had to be treated at a hospital, Summers wrote, citing Hersh as his secondary source. In a statement Sunday, Taylor, the former Nixon retirement aide, said he had not seen the book but had read accounts of it in the press and said the allegations were untrue. "Richard Nixon never raised a hand to Mrs. Nixon," he said. "Their affection and respect for one another is well known to all who knew them. It is inconceivable that he would have struck her for any reason. ... The book contains no evidence, only rumor and second- and third-had hearsay by the dead."

[CTRL] One in 20 Texans in trouble with the law, study says
One in 20 Texans in trouble with the law, study says Copyright © 2000 Nando Media Copyright © 2000 Scripps Howard News Service By LANCE GAY, Scripps Howard News Service (August 27, 2000 2:08 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Texas' prison population has surpassed California's, with one out of every 20 adults in the Lone Star State behind bars, on probation or under some form of criminal control, Justice Department statistics show. Until last year, California led the nation in prison population. Texas moved ahead this year. The study of the Texas criminal justice system was released by the Justice Policy Institute, which favors rehabilitation over imprisonment. The institute, which used Justice Department figures for the study, said the high incarceration rate in Texas has not had a parallel effect on crime rates. From 1995 to 1998, Texas' crime rate fell 5.1 percent, a much slower pace than the 10 percent decline in crime nationwide and the lowest among the five largest states. By comparison, California reported a 23 percent decline in crime over those years, while New York's crime rate declined 21 percent, Illinois' by 9 percent and Florida's by 5.9 percent. Justice Policy Institute director Vincent Schiraldi said the Texas prison system is growing faster than any other in the country, with 163,000 people in prison and another 537,000 under control of the criminal justice system through probationary orders, bail or other sorts of justice control. Texas has a population of about 20 million. The institute figured the incarceration rates on the adult population of 14 million. If Texas were a country, Schiraldi said, it would have the highest incarceration rate for its population in the world. Larry Todd, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, disputed the group's conclusions. "I wonder how many came down here to interview," he said. "We're running a fairly humane and efficient system here." Todd said the increased prison population is a direct result of get-tough policies Texas voters approved in a series of elections over the last decade rather than any administrative decisions made by Texas Gov. George W. Bush. "They've voted two bond issues for $4 billion in new prison construction, and the same taxpayers have asked legislators to strengthen laws to incarcerate prisoners," Todd said. "We're dealing with issues on the grass roots here, where taxpayers said they're tired of crime." Todd said Texans are satisfied that crime rates are dropping. "If you use your good old gut common sense and logic, if the crooks are being locked up, the crime rates are going to be going down." Justice Department statistics show that over the last decade, the Texas prison population has been growing at the rate of 11.8 percent a year - the greatest increase in the country.

[CTRL] Rare Tropical Disease Confirmed In 21 States
Media Contacts: Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, 919/513-6234 Greg Thomas, News Services, 919/515-3470 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug. 25, 2000 Canine Leishmaniasis Cases Are Confirmed in 21 States FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Results of DNA and blood tests obtained by scientists at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have confirmed cases of visceral canine leishmaniasis -- a rare, often fatal tropical disease that can be transmitted to humans and other animals -- in 21 U.S. states and southern Canada. The test results suggest leishmaniasis is substantially more widespread in North American canine populations than originally thought. "We have a very serious disease that leads to chronic debilitation and kidney failure in dogs, and can lead to their death. Unfortunately the disease is extremely hard to diagnose," says Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, professor of small animal internal medicine at NC State, who helped lead the research effort to facilitate more widespread testing for leishmaniasis after diagnosing the disease at a New York hunt club last spring. Until researchers determine how leishmaniasis is transmitted in the United States, the threat to human health is not completely known, Breitschwerdt says. Direct contact transmission would pose a far smaller risk than transmission by insects like sand flies or ticks. That mode of transmission, Breitschwerdt says, could create a public health concern. Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection and most often occurs in rural areas of the tropics and subtropics, where the most common species of the parasite is transmitted by the bite of an infected female sand fly. Symptoms of leishmaniasis include skin lesions, nose bleeds, swollen lymph glands, weight loss, seizures, hair loss, kidney failure and swollen limbs and joints. The disease is potentially fatal in humans, but can be treated. While there is no cure for leishmaniasis in dogs, it can be put into remission. Breitschwerdt says leishmaniasis is prevalent in southern Europe, India and South America, but, until very recently, was not thought to be present in the United States. "I think there is the possibility that there could have been human cases in the United States that weren't diagnosed," he says. Ongoing research efforts should allow scientists to determine the source of the U.S. canine Leishmaniasis, how it's being transmitted, and if the cases in different states come from the same strain of the organism. Breitschwerdt and his colleagues implemented the new diagnostic tests at the College of Veterinary Medicine last spring in response to a disease outbreak among foxhounds at a New York hunt club. When foxhounds at the club began losing weight and suffering from skin lesions, seizures, swollen limbs and joints, and in most cases fatal kidney failure, the clubs attending veterinarian turned to veterinary medicine researchers at NC State for help. Using the DNA and blood tests, Breitschwerdt and his team were able to confirm that the disease was canine leishmaniasis. The NC State team has been collaborating with the CDC, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the Dutchess County (New York) Department of Health to investigate the New York Leishmaniasis outbreak. In conjunction with the CDC, they've tested foxhounds from other regions and identified canine leishmaniasis in 21 other states, including North Carolina, and southern Canada. "So weâve gone from an outbreak in New York to literally a national epidemic that's probably been smoldering for 15 to 20 years," Breitschwerdt says. It's still not clear how the dogs in New York became infected. Breitschwerdt's research and testing team is made up of more than a dozen NC State students, clinicians, pathologists and other researchers, including Dr. Michael Levy, professor of parasitology; Dr. Amanda Gaskin, internal medicine resident; Dr. Adam Birkenheur, graduate student; and Lindsay Tomlinson, pathology instructor.

Re: [CTRL] Forfeiture
Yet another article on the evils of Asset Forfeiture. The propaganda surrounding this issue is adequately stated in the article. The idea that "drug dealers" and "hard core criminals" are the ones that are being affected is ludicrous. There have been a lot of good people who have been adversely affected by this law. It is about time that it be scrapped, if it isn't for the innocents who are negatively affected then it should be for those who may in fact be guilty but who have nonetheless been deprived of due process anyway. On Fri, 25 August 2000, Donald Park wrote: Request Sample Issue Government on the Take by John Perna Private property falls victim to forfeiture laws The Drug Enforcement Administration means business! Big business! As a matter of fact, the DEA and other agencies have made government into a "one-stop shopping" headquarters for almost anything of value. Do you need a car? A boat? An airplane? How about the whole airstrip? A house? A mobile home? A hotel? A motel? An apartment building? A ranch? A store? A laboratory? There is literally no limit to what government has for sale. The reason for this is simple: According to the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984 the government may now seize -- without a warrant -- any property which it suspects has been used, or is intended to be used, to commit a crime. The property may then either be auctioned off, with the money going to the agency making the seizure, or retained by the agency for its own use. Cars, yachts, houses, and other property are made available to individuals who work for the agencies, many of them undercover agents who have to be able to blend in with the millionaire drug kingpins and racketeers they are trying to nab. Since 1989, the federal government has reported receiving more than $2.2 billion in forfeited assets. It is a misconception that government agencies only seize property from drug dealers and criminals. According to the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984, the government may seize property without even alleging that a crime has been committed. About 80 percent of all property taken is lost by people who are never even charged with a crime. The allegation that the property was intended to be used in criminal activity is often sufficient. There are two types of forfeiture: civil and criminal. Criminal forfeiture operates in personam, meaning against the criminal defendant, while civil forfeiture operates in rem, meaning "against the thing." The guilt of a property owner is of no relevance in determining the outcome of a civil forfeiture case. The legal theory behind civil forfeiture cases operates upon the fictional premise that the property itself has committed a crime. These kinds of cases give prosecutors an obvious advantage, since the property has no rights. If the owner wishes to retrieve his property, he must take the government to court in a civil action, and thus bear the burden of proof. In the case where a crime has not been committed, the owner is required to demonstrate that he had no intent to use the property in a criminal act. In essence, the forfeited property is deemed "guilty" until the owner can prove it is innocent. The government dispenses with the procedural protection that is afforded in criminal matters by calling such a case a "civil" matter. The seizures can be done without any pre-seizure judicial review and without probable cause. However, by thoroughly searching the property they have seized, law enforcement officials can sometimes find probable cause for the issuance of a warrant. The constitutional protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures" has been cast aside. In fact, one crime might create two separate cases. One's car, plane, boat, or house may be "under arrest" in a criminal investigation. The owner may also be under arrest, but not necessarily. If someone other than the owner of the property commits the crime, this would still make the property "guilty," and thus subject to seizure from the innocent owner. Lucrative Business Seizure of private property has become so lucrative that competition has become fierce among agencies. In a given case, there may be agents of the DEA, the IRS, and Customs all vying for the seized goods. The defendant becomes the "only bone in a pen full of hungry dogs." Bounties are paid to informers. State and local agencies are cut in. Even the Judicial system can get a cut. When a group benefits, all of the members of the group benefit. A government agency is no different. The chain reaction in the civil forfeiture scheme causes a "trickle down" of prosperity throughout an agency. Give an individual a way to benefit himself, make it legal, and he will never run out of reasons why it is good and proper. Prior to the
Re: [CTRL] DON'T BLAME JFK
Quite true. The connection in Vietnam devolved to the drug business which the CIA had a major hand in. The death of JFK had more to do with our escalation in Vietnam than his being in office did.

In November 1963, Kennedy issued a National Security Action Memorandum which ordered all Americans out of Viet Nam by the end of 1964. At the time of this Presidential Order, there were less than 16,000 Americans in Viet Nam. John Kennedy was assassinated just 20 days after he gave that order.

Re: [CTRL] The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion More than once in the course of the last two centuries, anti-Masonry has been fused with an older hatred, hatred of the Jews, that is to say anti-Semitism. Probably, the irrational nature of both phobias facilitates their juxtaposition. Be that as it may, from the middle of the 19th Century, we are witnessing an increasing wave of simultaneously anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic propaganda. Possibly, the paradigmatic work of this class of "literature" is an opuscule entitled "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" sometimes also known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." This is one of the most well-known literary falsifications in history, based on plagiarism and fraud from the very beginning of its gestation. Nevertheless, this swindle has captivated the imagination of many people who are sensible in other respects, and it has been transformed into the "source of indispensable information" in the baggage of all the anti-Semites and anti-Masons. In this work, we will examine the history of this fraud, will demonstrate its absolute falsification and we will take a look at the lamentable consequences that it has had in modern history, as much of the point of view of the Jewish people, as of Freemasonry. Sources of information In the preparation of this work, I depended mainly on the works of three investigators: Professor Jose Antonio Ferrer Benimeli, who in his book "The Judeo-Masonic-Communist Conspiracy"1 dedicates a long chapter to the subject that occupies us (pp. 135-210); Norman Cohn, author of "Justification for Genocide"2, where it makes a history of the antecedents of the Protocols, its evolution and its consequences; and Herman Bernstein, author of "The truth on the 'Protocols of Zion'"3, where it not only relates the history of the mystification, but reproduces the complete text of the book of Joly (pp. 75-258), the text of the news articles that appeared in the London Times (pp. 259-264), the complete text of the Protocols (pp. 295-359), and other authentic documents. Also, I consulted other works to clarify or to add certain details, as the book "Must men hate?" of the North-American lawyer Sigmund Livingston4, who was the first President of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai-B'rith, and who in his book adds an interesting personal testimony (pp. 39-49) to the meticulous relation presented by the authors mentioned before. All these works are included in detail in the notes at the end of this work. Antecedents The connection of anti-Masonry and anti-Semitism does not begin with the Protocols. Already on the occasion of the Dreyfus affair, that began in 1894 and continued intermittently until 1906, the French press and also that of other countries5 connected the Judaism of Dreyfus with the Freemasonry of many of his more loyal defenders. Still earlier, Father Agustin Barruel in his "Memory to serve the History of Jacobinism,"6 blamed Freemasonry (confusing it with the Illuminati of Bavaria) of being instrumental of the French Revolution (and also of being the heirs of the Templars). Although Barruel did not find historical data to allow him to extend his attack including the Jews (between the famous French revolutionaries there were no Jews), other later authors were not so punctilious, and did not have scruples in inventing what did not exist in reality. Numerous books published before and after the Protocols maintain that Judaism is at the origin of Freemasonry. We will mention Monsignor Leon Meurin, Archbishop of Port-Louis, Mauritius, who published in 1893 a book entitled "La Franc-Maçonnerie, Synagogue de Satan." The author says on page 260: "Everything in Freemasonry is fundamentally Jewish, exclusively Jewish, enthusiastically Jewish, from the beginning to the end."7 The historical truth, that can be found in any serious work on the history of Freemasonry, is that lodges were exclusively Christian in their origin, and only with the creation of the Grand Lodge of London (1717) began the process of de-Christianization, that culminated in 1813. At the time of the union of the two rival Grand Lodges of England, when the United Grand Lodge of England and Wales was created and rituals were again revised, eliminating from them the last remaining Christian symbolisms, the institution transformed into the universal vocation that we now know. It is worthwhile, as a side commentary, to remember that until today some Grand Lodges (especially in the Scandinavian countries that practice the Swedish Rite) do not allow to admit people who do not profess the Christian religion. Furthermore, even in those countries where Jews and members of other religions are welcome in Masonic lodges, other Masonic bodies are closed before them, exclusively reserved to Christian Masons. As examples (there are many others), I will mention the "high degrees" of the York rite, such as the Red Cross of Constantine, the Knights of Malta and the Knights Templar. Some
[CTRL] Kosovo death toll may climb to be between 4,000 and 5,000
http://www.pstripes.com/ed082700c.html Sunday, August 27, 2000 Kosovo death toll climbs as KFOR finds more graves By Gregory Piatt Stars and Stripes PODUJEVO, Kosovo Graves are still being unearthed by investigators, scientists and forensic experts sent to put the puzzle together of how many people were killed during last years ethnic cleansing of Kosovo. Perhaps thousands of corpses remain in graves scattered around the Yugoslav province. Still others were reportedly cremated in haste or carted back to Serbia before the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping troops entered Kosovo. War crimes investigators and forensic experts, who delicately strip inches of soil from these graves with backhoes and garden tools, may never find every body, but are putting together evidence for war crimes indictments. Its physically and emotionally demanding work, said Billy Fulton, the crime scene coordinator for the British forensic team working on behalf of the tribunal here. Quite often we work in view of the relatives. Since forensic experts started last year, they have found nearly 3,000 bodies in mass graves, down wells and in shallow ponds. On Thursday, Fultons forensic team unearthed eight bodies in the Podujevo Cemetery as relatives watched. The seven Muslim men and one woman whose remains were exhumed allegedly were killed during last years ethnic cleansing campaign. Scientists are investigating the sites for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. With only a few months before the ground freezes and their work halts until spring, they expect the body count to grow. This year, forensic teams have examined 200 grave sites, found 700 bodies and know of at least 400 more sites, said Paul Risley, spokesman for the tribunals prosecutor, Carla del Ponte. Every week KFOR reports more grave sites, Risley said in a telephone interview last week. Many of those found are ethnic Albanians, who allegedly were killed by the Yugoslav Army or Serbian paramilitaries. But the tribunal is also investigating grave sites where Serbs may have been killed by the Kosovo Liberation Army, the disbanded guerrilla group that fought against the Serbs for independence. So far, the tribunal has publicly indicted Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Nikola Sainovic, Yugoslav Interior Minister Vlajko Siejiljkovic, former Yugoslav Army chief of staff Ojdanic Dragoljub and Serb President Milan Milatinovic on war crimes charges for last years ethnic cleansing. As for the KLA, the tribunal is still investigating what part the guerrilla organization had in the deaths of Serbs. So far, no indictments have been issued. But del Ponte has said the tribunals investigation is focusing on the KLAs top commanders. North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary-General Lord George Robertson said recently that when the indictments are completed, alliance troops will arrest wanted war criminals inside Kosovo. Graham Blewitt, deputy prosecutor at The Hague Tribunal, said recently he expects the final toll of confirmed killings to be between 4,000 and 5,000 bodies. NATO officials, notably former Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen. Wesley K. Clark, put the figure of ethnic Albanians killed by the Serbs at 10,000 after NATO peacekeeping troops entered the Yugoslav province. During last years Yugoslav bombing campaign and the refugee crisis that ensued, U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen said the number could be as high as 100,000 dead. Since then, NATO has been accused of exaggerating the number of killings as part of a propaganda campaign to justify the 78 days it bombed Yugoslavia. As for the fluctuating numbers during the bombing campaign, KFOR spokesman U.S. Army Maj. Scott Slaten said there was no way NATO knew what was going on in Kosovo during the bombing. Many people were reported missing and were found alive later, Slaten said. We were bound and determined to keep the mass killings that happened in Bosnia [and Herzegovina] from happening in Kosovo, Slaten said. Whether the final number comes out to 3,000 or 7,000, there are still graves. When the tribunal started its exhumations, Risley said, it put the final figure of those possibly dead at 11,000 because that was how many people are reported missing. But, he added, many bodies probably were burned or taken back into Serbia for disposal. There will be no way to find all the people killed, he said. -- --- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and
[CTRL] Fwd: More Inslaw--Sunday Toronto Star
Nothng in the Sunday Times, but a third piece in the Toronto Star...looks like the Star has not archived the previous stories yet. http://www.thestar.com/editorial/news/2827NEW08_LAWSPIES.html The Toronto Star News Story Mail this story to a friend August 27, 2000 American claims pirated software sold to Canada Mounties probe possible breach of security Ex-Israeli agents back ``trap door'' allegations Tale of spies and conspiracies Founder of computer software firm pins hopes on the RCMP By Valerie Lawton Toronto Star Ottawa Bureau WASHINGTON - Bill Hamilton has spent the last decade telling a bizarre story about spies, computer software and conspiracies. Now he hopes Canada's Mounties will prove his tale is actually true. `It's the first time that there has been the possibility of a credible criminal investigation of this.' ``It's the first time that there has been the possibility of a credible criminal investigation of this,'' Hamilton, owner of the tiny, Washington-based Inslaw Inc. software company, said yesterday in an interview. The Star revealed last week that the RCMP are investigating the possibility foreign spies used doctored software to hack into highly sensitive intelligence files. The Mounties have since confirmed they are looking into a possible breach of national security. Hamilton's stranger-than-fiction story - in brief - is the following: He sold software he'd developed to the United States justice department in the early '80s. The software, called Promis, was used by prosecutors to keep track of their cases. Not long afterwards, the justice department stopped making payments on the $10-million contract. Hamilton alleges the U.S. government stole the software, then - along with the Israelis - sold pirated versions to intelligence agencies around the world. He also believes those stolen versions were equipped with a hidden ``trap door'' that allowed spies to peek into top-secret databases and download any information they wanted. The U.S. justice department has suggested the claims are fantasy. From this point, the Inslaw story can spiral into an octopus of other odd-sounding conspiracy theories and allegations. Hamilton, 60, tells it all methodically. He remembers precise dates and details, and points to corroborating evidence for his claims. But part of the problem for Hamilton is that many key pieces of that evidence come from a cast of unusual characters. Two shadowy ex-Israeli spies have confirmed the basics of the story. An American computer whiz, who claims CIA ties, has said he was involved in modifying Promis software for use in Canada. (He's now in prison serving time for what he claims are trumped-up drug charges.) Hamilton sounds like he hasn't quite figured out how he landed in the middle of this mess. ``My wife and I are from the Midwest and it's the least conspiratorial-minded place. You take people more at face value,'' he said. He has doggedly been fighting for compensation from his government - and trying to prove his stranger-than-fiction tale. The RCMP investigation could be what he needs to do that, he said. In the interview at Inslaw's offices in downtown Washington, Hamilton said the Mounties first called him earlier this year. He has spoken with the chief investigator on the case ``probably dozens'' of times since then. He refused to talk about exactly what the Mounties want to know from him. He has a lot at stake in the probe and doesn't want to jeopardize it. His marathon fight has come with a huge financial and emotional cost. Hamilton owes creditors

CIA AND ORGANIZED CRIME FRONTS DURING THE IRAN-CONTRA ERA AND CONTINUING
The following CIA-related ("secret government") and organized crime fronts
were plying San Francisco Bay waters and substantially controlled the docks
during the Iran-Contra era. Were these fronts ever dismantled? They weren't
prosecuted by local or federal authorities. Are they in place today? The
names have deftly changed, but the players remain the same. The FBI in San
Francisco, headed by US Attorney Mueller, a Bush factotum, has yet to
prosecute any mob activity in Northern California. Mueller continues the
tradition of former U.S. attorneys Joseph Russoniello (Rudi Guiliani's
college roommate) and Michael Yamaguchi. Federal and State judges and local
D.A.s take their cue from the local DOJ and FBI who all grease the way for
drug, money laundering, kiddie porn and blackmail operations throughout the
Bay Area. If anyone litigates against this low cabal or takes them on in any
way, the low cabal arrogantly believes it can "destroy" that person or
family. Such delusional and grandiose thinking is barely masked by the
sickened faces of these federal and local judges and district attorneys who
are so blackmailed by their pervert handlers that they dance for them like
marionettes. And then there's the Bohemian Club, which is meeting this
August near Santa Rosa, California
The Fronts:
1. Buttes Gas Oil was headed by Kermit Roosevelt, Chairman of the Board
(deceased 7/00), who led the coup installing the Shah in Iran. Buttes
operated barges, tankers, and offshore rigs, headquartered in Oakland, CA.
Buttes also operated citrus and other farms in Fresno and Napa counties. John
Boreta was the President of Buttes. In other operations, Roosevelt was a
partner with John B. Anderson in the ownership of 100,000 acres of land in
Gila Bend, Arizona during the Iran-Contra period. Anderson in turn served as
a front for Moe Shenker in the Nevada Dunes Resorts Casino operations from
1983 and through its take-down of Eureka Federal Savings and Loan in the late
1980's, defaulting on $60 million in loans.
2. Cargill conducted significant business via Leslie Salt using barges and
docks on the West Coast and Hawaii, and extended its reach internationally.
Cargill operated in Sonoma County, Napa County, Alameda County, Contra Costa
County and almost reached to San Jose. Cargill's Fresno operations were
forfeited.
3. Dillingham, in a managerial role, operated barges, ocean and port tugs and
docks via Basalt other subsidiaries. Dillingham's operations extended to
Hawaii and all west coast ports. In Honolulu, Dillingham provided rent free
offices to the Bishop, Baldwin group, and operated as a "successor" to Nugan
Hand which had associations in Napa through the Dickinson law firm which
representing Gene Trefethen of Kaiser. Dillingham was acquired by KKR and
its true ownership is obscure after February 1983.
4. Kaiser which has aluminum, marine and engineering divisions in Oakland, is
connected to Gene Trefethen. Kaiser operated barges, pipe, steel and
aluminum works and conducted engineering projects in Oakland. In Napa, James
Magetti was an associate of Kongsgaard and the Dickenson law firm. Magetti
was the President of Kaiser Aluminum and served on the board of Napa Valley
Bank throughout the Iran-Contra era.
5. The Pacific Far East Lines, owned by Joseph Alioto, Senior, now deceased,
operated ocean freighters docking at all west coast ports, Hawaii and
throughout the world. Attorney Keker "prosecuted" key Iran Contra figures
and failed. Keker held back important information about the Iran Contra
operations in the Bay Area, and kept vital information from Independent
counsel Walsh. Willie Brown subsequently appointed Keker as the San
Francisco Police Commissioner. When Keker and two of his cronies rejected a
FBI Strike Force Request in approximately 1997, Keker suddenly resigned.
6. Lazio Fish, in its 1978 union with Mitsui (Yakuza), worked in ocean
fishing, and bought up nearly all west coast canneries from L.A. to Alaska,
plus Hawaii. Also Alioto through the International Fish Company, also worked
as a front with Tom Lazio Fish Company to exert mob related controls over
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Joe Alioto, Sr. co-owned International
Fish Company since the 1930s with S.F. crime bosses Francesco and Joseph
Lanza.
7. Bank of American and BCCI engaged in the movement of money to support the
crime syndicate and Iran Contra money/drug flow through tentacles in the Napa
Valley Bank, Napa National Bank, and First Republic Thrift Loan in Napa
County. These banks set up huge money laundering mills into Napa County
which included high end real estate and businesses (wineries).

Cheney became a member of the board of directors of Morgan Stanley. the Union Pacific Corp., Procter Gamble Co. and Electronic Data Systems Corp. But, most important, in 1995 Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton (owner of Brown and Root) (Click.) Cheney, the chairman of the board, holds a $45.5 million stake as Halliburton's biggest individual stockholder. Brown and Root reaped multi-millions from the Bosnia war. (Click. ) In 1998 Richard Cheney got the idea that Halliburton should purchase Dresser Industries, for $8.1 billion (creating the world's largest oil-drilling services company) while on a quail hunt with Dresser chair Bill Bradford. Dresser and Halliburton merged. Dresser Industries was owned and operated by Brown Brothers Harriman. Prescott Bush (George H.W.'s father) was a partner of Brown Brothers and on the board of Dresser for decades until he became a U.S. Senator. CHENEY'S FIRM HALLIBURTON AND BROWN ROOT FINANCED, (IN PART) PERMINDEX, THE CORPORATE FRONT, WHICH OPERATED THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY . PERMINDEX was a corporate front, headed by Major Louis M. Bloomfield of Canada. Clay Shaw operated a division of PERMINDEX in New Orleans at the International Trade Mart. The connections between Clay Shaw, David Ferrie and Lee Harvey Oswald have, at this time, been proven by documentary and photographic evidence, despite myriad attempts to discredit the Garrison investigation. Halliburton was one of the financiers of PERMINDEX. George and Herman Brown of Brown and Root were also financiers. Halliburton acquired Brown and Root after 1963. In the Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal (Click to read the entire document), William Torbitt, states: The principal financiers of Permindex were a number of U. S. oil companies, H. L. Hunt of Dallas, Clint Murchison of Dallas, John DeMenil, Solidarist director of Houston, John Connally as executor of the Sid Richardson estate, H aliburton Oil Co., Senator Robert Kerr of Oklahoma, Troy Post of Dallas, Lloyd Cobb of New Orleans, Dr. Oschner of New Orleans, George and Herman Brown of Brown and Root, Houston, Attorney Roy M. Cohn, Chairman of the Board for Lionel Corporation, New York City, Schenley Industries of New York City, Walter Dohrnberger, ex-Nazi General and his company, Bell Aerospace, Pan American World Airways, its subsidiary, Intercontinental Hotel Corporation, Paul Raigorodsky of Dallas through his company, Claiborne Oil of New Orleans, Credit Suisse of Canada, Heineken's Brewery of Canada and a host of other munition makers and NASA contractors directed by the Defense Industrial Security Command. PERMINDEX was the operator of death squads in Europe, Mexico, Central American, the Caribbean and the United States. The persons and corporations who worked with PERMINDEX took over the government of the United States of America on November 22, 1963. The perpetrators have never been brought to justice, and now Halliburton, a Permindex backer, thus and financer of the ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY, has one of its own, Dick Cheney, trying to be the Vice President of the United States. Picture of the motorcade at Dealy Plaza. When a President's head is blown off in the streets, and the Department of Justice, FBI, military intelligence and the government can't solve the case, Justice is dead in the streets of America. The assassination team and their progeny and selected puppets control America. (For more information about the assassination teams, PERMINDEX and the fascist behind them, see "The Nazi Connections to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy" by Mae Brussell. Click.) THE BUSH FAMILY LINKS TO HALLIBURTON, ROOT BROWN AND PERMINDEX. Researchers of the JFK assassination have tried since 1963 to determine if George H.W. Bush had any intelligence role in November 1993. Efforts to conclusively prove that George H. W. Bush was a CIA agent at that time have been futile. Efforts to conclusively prove that he was directly involved with the Cuban exiles have also been futile. This is so, despite the close proximity of the Zapata oil platform to Cuba and the naming of boats for the Bay of Pigs invasion, notably the "Barbara." However, the financial and corporate structures which have financed George H.W. Bush and now his son, can be conclusively proven by documents. The following article by Linda Minor is an analysis of these financial and corporate roots of the Bush family political and financial fortune. Note how these roots lead to the

Applied Digital Solutions will unveil an operational prototype of its revolutionary Digital Angel(TM) technology ... Chairman sees multi-billion dollar market potential via licensing and services integrated with Web-enabled wireless devices The prototype... to be unveiled at an invitation-only, New York City event this October... represents a major communications technology breakthrough -- the first-ever operational combination of bio-sensor technology and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications linked to GPS location-tracking systems. Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSX) today announced that it will host a special, invitation-only event in New York City this coming October to demonstrate an operational prototype of its revolutionary "Digital Angel"(TM) technology. As previously announced, the prototype of the device was to be ready by the end of this year. But Applied Digital's Chairman and CEO, Richard J. Sullivan, said today that the development of the technology had progressed well ahead of schedule. In his comments announcing the October event, Richard Sullivan stated: "We're extremely heartened by the remarkable progress made by Dr. Peter Zhou and his entire research team, including professors and their associates at Princeton University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. This technology relates directly to the exploding wireless marketplace. We'll be demonstrating for the first time ever that wireless telecommunications systems and bio-sensor devices - capable of measuring and transmitting critical body function data - can be successfully linked together with GPS technology and integrated with the Internet. "This is a gigantic leap forward, one that also links directly to our Computer Telephony Internet Integration (CTII)(TM) strategic focus. At its heart, Digital Angel involves integrating the very same communications technologies into a working system. We'll soon be ready to move ahead to the production-design phase of Digital Angel geared to specific marketplace applications. The key message right now is this: Digital Angel isn't a blue-sky technology. This is real. Digital Angel breakthrough technology is here. It's live!" While estimates of Digital Angel's marketplace potential vary, there is little doubt that the technology will enable Applied Digital and its partners to tap into a multi-billion dollar market via various licensing arrangements, Web-enabled wireless services and data transactions handled by Applied Digital's ASP (Application Service Provider) center. Those attending the event in New York City will see a working, multimedia demonstration of Digital Angel's technological building blocks. A miniature sensor device -- smaller than a grain of rice and equipped with a tiny antenna -- will capture and wirelessly transmit a person's vital body-function data, such as body temperature or pulse, to an Internet-integrated ground station. In addition, the antenna will also receive information regarding the location of the individual from the GPS satellite. Both sets of data -- medical information and location -- will then be wirelessly transmitted to the ground station and made available on Web-enabled desktop, laptop or wireless devices. This demonstration represents the first time these technologies have been united into one functioning system. The New York City event - at a time, date and location to be announced later -- will feature live presentations from top Applied Digital executives, including Richard Sullivan, Chairman and CEO; Dr. Keith Bolton, Chief Technology Officer; and Dr. Peter Zhou, President and Chief Scientist at Digital Angel.net Inc., Applied Digital's wholly owned subsidiary that has been spearheading the drive to develop Digital Angel. Those attending the event will be a handpicked group of potential joint venture partners, as well as senior-level players in the e-commerce, wireless and Internet industries. Key stock analysts and media representatives will also be invited. Attendees will learn about the history of

PLEASE PURCHASE TICKETS AHEAD - TICKETS MAY BE SOLD OUT EARLY! Unlike the Bretton Woods Iron Triangle-the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund-the United Nations was not created to be an engine for corporate globalization. The UN mandate was always broader, and was designed to place peace, human welfare, the environment, social justice and democracy above profit motives of corporations. But in recent years, the UN mission has been challenged by a growing advocacy of the same corporate free trade model that motivates the Bretton Woods Triad. Many believe that the UN's potential to serve the needs of peace, security and the interests of the global poor has been seriously undermined. Others believe that it's worth trying to re-excite the UN vision and empower UN agencies to place some checks and balances on global corporations. This event will explore the full range of arguments about the UN, as well as launch a new set of ideas for alternative economic models and institutions that give primacy to values favoring human welfare and the natural world over global corporate interests. Co-sponsors include: Institute for Policy Studies, Transnational Resource and Action Center, The Nation Institute, and the New York Open Center. *** 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. I. TEN MONTHS AFTER SEATTLE: WHERE DO WE STAND? Fifty thousand protestors in Seattle against the World Trade Organization proved that what was once thought inevitable is not. Nonetheless, corporate globalization continues to advance on many fronts through institutions, trade agreements, governments, and corporate action. This panel will offer views and analyses of Seattle and more recent developments in the battle against globalization. Panelists will also discuss some potential distinctions between the role of the UN and the Bretton Woods institutions.

UNCHECKED POWER OF GLOBAL CORPORATIONS Despite growing opposition, global corporations continue to consolidate their powers over governments and to plunder the natural world. Through mergers and technological advances, an even smaller number of gigantic corporations are controlling global economic activity with devastating effects upon the environment, human rights, public health, livelihoods, and democracy. This panel reports on "corporate rule," including highly questionable collaborations between corporations and the UN, and how activists are attempting to fight it.

GROWING DOMINATION OF THE UN BY CORPORATIONS AND INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES Recent changes at the UN bring grave doubts about its ability to serve as a bastion of peace, human rights and environmental sustainability. The UN Center on Transnational Corporations was eliminated in the early 1990s due to corporate pressure, and a recent proposal for the UN Development Programme to launch a collaborative partnership with a group of global corporations was dropped only after hundreds of organizations vigorously protested such a move. Some believe that the UN is still the one global body with the theoretical potential of serving a different hierarchy of values than the WTO and other Bretton Woods institutions - but can it survive without caving into the corporate globalization agenda?

Washington Chases Oil http://www.stratfor.com/CIS/commentary/0008260100.htm Communists Temper Vietnam's Trade Agreement http://www.stratfor.com/asia/commentary/0008252352.htm _ The Next President Part Four: A Gore Foreign Policy Summary The fourth part of our series on the future of U.S. foreign policy, the Next President, examines the Democratic foreign policy that would propel Al Gore should he be elected the next president of the United States. Gore may continue Bill Clinton's foreign policy. Yet he will be facing a more hostile world than the current administration, and tensions over trade and power will arise. Analysis Without the overriding enemy of the Soviet Union and the struggle of the Cold War, the Clinton administration has been able to pursue a foreign policy free of the intrigue that previous presidents have used abroad. Instead, the Clinton years have seen the United States pursue collective security and set new thresholds for the use of military force. Vice President Al Gore, in his campaign for the presidency, is the heir to this foreign policy. But if he wins the White House, Gore is likely to face two complications that, in turn, will alter U.S. foreign policy. First, there are signs that he will have to face great powers with interests that are divergent from those of the United States. Gore, unlike Clinton, may not have the luxury of avoiding cold, geopolitical calculations. Second, there is the long-term question: Can free trade and its consequences continue to coexist with a Democratic foreign policy of internationalism? Over the past eight years, the Clinton administration has departed from the history of Democratic-led foreign policy. Without the Cold War, the president has been able to dispense with the Machiavellianism that could be found in previous Democratic administrations, such as Kennedy's and Roosevelt's. Instead, the Clinton years saw the United States: 1. Elevate collective security to the status of operational principle, by using the United Nations, NATO and other instruments to carry out interventions; 2. Resurrect and re-engineer the Vietnam problem. From Haiti to Kosovo, U.S. foreign policy used military power to restructure societies. 3. Reconcile anti-military sentiments with intense interventionism. Clinton managed to increase international involvement while cutting the defense budget. In short, President Clinton has used the collapse of the Soviet Union to create an integrated foreign policy that reconciles two strains: the experiences of the Vietnam War, and those of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. What was left out was realpolitik. __ For more Global Intelligence Updates on North America, see: http://www.stratfor.com/services/giu/region/namerica/ __ There are two great layers underlying Democratic foreign policy. The first is the heritage of Roosevelt and his management of World War II. The second is the Vietnam experience. Gore inherits more than a foreign policy, but one that is historically split. On one side are those who would return to the FDR model of internationalism; on the other are those who take their bearings from the failure of force in Vietnam and recoil from power politics. At one level, Roosevelt's legacy was his routing of isolationists. He managed the transition of the United States from a country that saw itself as insulated from the international system to a role as major guarantor of its stability. But the story is more complex. Roosevelt was one of history's great geopoliticians. Beneath the veneer of humanitarianism, he conducted a cunning foreign policy based on extracting maximum benefits. He traded aid to Great Britain during the dark days of the war in exchange for all British naval facilities in the Western Hemisphere. Similarly, Roosevelt allowed the Soviets to bleed the Germans dry before landing in France. The United States emerged from the war occupying Western Europe, setting the stage for stripping the European powers of their empires. At the same time Roosevelt believed deeply in the doctrine of collective security. He was the creator of and a genuine believer in the United Nations. He seems to have genuinely hoped that he could create a global entente with the Soviet Union after the war. But that effort failed. The resulting institutionalization of foreign policy: 1. An America-centric worldview with brilliant tactical maneuvering of enemies and allies alike. 2. A system of collective security in which allies bore the burden of exposure while the United States served as the final guarantor of security. 3. A dependency on institutional frameworks designed to formalize risk-sharing and decision-making. The

Years ago I had a sister who took a job at Dresser - back in 50 periodshe had to take IQ test. She was a beautiful blue eyed blonde, and suddenly when she was hired people wanted to see what she looked like. She was also very shy. As it turned out, she had a higher IQ than even the President of the Corporation... She later went to work for TV station, but in high school she made top 3% IQ wise..so this means a lot of people were way under that, including the Presdient. She was the type people drained of ideas and intellect, but she did okay. So this Cheney had to be how old back in the early 60 period? Gordon Novel was only 23 or 24 when he was involved in CIA robbery of Schlumberger..Anyway my sister had the highest IQ to hit that dump and Gore and Cheney and Bush and Lieberman are idiots; with Clinton, they have a well trained mouth.

[CTRL] NATO lied over Yugoslav 'mass killings'
In light of the recent KFOR 'news' announcements that the Kosovo death toll is climbing maybe some sanity can be found below. NATO and the UN lied through their teeth to get the west into the war. In WWI - it was Germans eating babies. In WWII - it was Germans eating babies again. In Desert Storm - it was Iraqis microwaving babies and mass raping some girl In Yugoslavia it was 'mass killings' and ethnic cleansing. All ended up proven lies, lies used to get emotional/public support behind the war effort. Remember the next time, truth is the first casualty of war. Duncan Via Workers World News Service Reprinted from the Aug. 31, 2000 issue of Workers World newspaper - It was all a lie NATO ADMITS YUGOSLAVS CARRIED OUT NO MASS KILLINGS IN KOSOVO By John Catalinotto On Aug. 17 NATO officials conceded that the figures they released in 1999, allegedly a count of the people killed by Yugoslav forces in Kosovo, were much higher than the actual number of people killed there. Findings by forensic teams from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague forced NATO's admission. The ICTY exhumed 3,000 bodies and examined them. While they have not yet released a report, ICTY spokespeople said that at most 3,000 people were killed. They said there was no evidence of mutilations. And they said that not all the dead can be proved to be victims of murder or execution. Last year NATO had charged that Yugoslav forces massacred at least 10,000 people. NATO spokespeople implied that 500,000 supposedly "missing" people also had been killed. They used these claims to justify NATO bombings that had no basis in United Nations treaties or NATO's own charter. NATO has now been forced to admit in effect that it waged a lying propaganda war to win support for its own illegal intervention that killed over 3,000 Yugoslavs, about one-third of them children. Washington and NATO have no hard evidence that Yugoslav forces carried out even a small-scale massacre of civilians, let alone the "genocide" they were charged with. The ICTYitself created and funded by the NATO powershas exposed this "Big Lie" of NATO's. According to a report in the Aug. 18 British Guardian, Mark Laity, the acting NATO spokesperson, said: "NATO never said the missing were all dead. The figure we stood by was 10,000." Laity even tried to claim that NATO's intervention stopped further killing. The truth is that since NATO occupied Kosovo, right-wing Albanian forces have killed some 1,000 people, mostly Serb and Romani, while pushing all non-Albanian peoples out of the region. NATO FORCES LIE AGAIN ABOUT TREPCA While this exposure of NATO's lies came too late to stop last year's bombing, it should be kept in mind by anyone evaluating NATO leaders' current statements regarding Yugoslavia. On Aug. 14, French and British forces occupying the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija seized the smelter at the Trepca mines near Kosovo Mitrovica. These are the richest nickel and lead mines in Europe. Corporate forces in the United States, Britain and France want these mines in their hands and not in the hands of the Yugoslav government. This time the excuse for the action was that the smelter was "polluting" the environment. Compared to the pollution caused by NATO's deliberate bombing of Pancevo and other Yugoslav chemical complexes, not to mention the use of radioactive depleted uranium weapons, this pollution is minor. In any case, Yugoslav authorities reported that steps had already been taken to reduce the smelter's pollution. The United States, Britain and Francethe major NATO powersare again using a lie to justify an unwarranted and illegal seizure of Yugoslav property, just as they lied to justify the war in the first place. The NATO powers and Washington in particular have been attempting to intervene in the Yugoslav election scheduled for Sept. 24. They have set up an office in Budapest, Hungary, to deliver funds to parties in Yugoslavia that oppose the current elected president, Slobodan Milosevic. Seizing the Trepca smelter must be seen as part of this election strategy. By taking this step before the election, NATO hopes to put the blame for the "loss of Trepca" on Milosevic rather than on his opposition. This strategy was spelled out last fall in a study prepared by a think tank funded by multi-billionaire George Soros. The report suggested that NATO use the excuse of pollution to seize the Trepca mines, and to do it before the election. Besides trying to undermine the Yugoslav government by meddling in the national election, NATO forces have been supporting a pro-Western leadership in Montenegro, the republic that with Serbia makes up present-day Yugoslavia. British officers have been training the Montenegrin police to combat the Yugoslav Army. This was underlined when Yugoslav forces caught two British officers who were doing this training, along with two Canadians who had
