[CTRL] ET: Clinton ends troubled Colombia trip
[It will be interesting to see how our objective press will report the results of this vacation.] Electronic Telegraph-Friday 1 September 2000 Clinton ends troubled Colombia trip By Jeremy McDermott in Medellin PRESIDENT CLINTON flew home yesterday after a visit to Colombia marred by protests and violence. He had said repeatedly that about £750 million in military and anti-drug aid that he was delivering did not signal "Yankee imperialism" or armed intervention by Washington in Colombia's civil war. Not everyone was convinced. While he walked around the port of Cartagena, tranquil thanks to the 5,000 troops and police who ringed the city, much of the rest of the country was caught up in unrest. Rebels launched attacks which left 23 people dead, and a riot policeman was killed in the capital, Bogota, as students threw stones and home-made bombs. An opinion poll reflected a positive view of the visit. More than half of those questioned welcomed the aid and said they would like US troops to be deployed. = 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] Al Gore's Sister - medical cannabis user.
- Original Message - From: "heimstadt" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "ph-l" [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 10:20 AM Subject: Al Gore's Sister - medical cannabis user. OLD PIECE that I thought I'd pull out given the times DECEMBER 17, 1999 [note - there are 27 states with Medical Cannabis laws on the books - see Medicinal Marijuana Laws in All 50 States and the District of Columbia" http://www.mpp.org/states/index51x.html for full info] Thirteen Existing State Laws Permit Medical Marijuana Distribution Like the Tennessee Law That Served Al Gore's Sister; Federal Intransigence Stands in the Way WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Thirteen states currently have laws on the books to permit medical marijuana distribution through research programs that are supposed to be run by the states' public health departments. However, none of these laws, which were passed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, are currently in operation, largely due to the difficulty of obtaining marijuana from the federal government. On December 14, Vice President Al Gore told reporters in New Hampshire that his sister received medical marijuana through the Tennessee program while she was undergoing cancer chemotherapy in 1984. "It came in a prescription container with a label on it," he said, adding that "it has not been unknown for some patients undergoing chemotherapy to be prescribed, in the past, marijuana as a means of dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy." The Tennessee law was repealed in 1992, and similar laws have expired or been repealed in 10 other states. However, such laws remain on the books in 13 states: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Washington state, and West Virginia. Unfortunately, since the mid-1980s, none of these state programs has been operating. The reason is that the marijuana must be supplied by the federal government: Due to the difficulty of obtaining access to the federal government's marijuana, only seven state public health departments ever managed to get their programs up and running, and all of them eventually gave up after having to deal with numerous federal obstacles year after year. "Today it is even harder to access the federal government's marijuana than it was 15 years ago," said Chuck Thomas, director of communications for the Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project. "Consequently, the 13 state medical marijuana research programs hang in limbo. Many public health department officials don't even know that these laws are on the books." "The Clinton/Gore administration should change its federal medical marijuana research guidelines to make it easier for seriously ill people to obtain the substance through state and private research programs," said Thomas. "The Marijuana Policy Project will devote considerable resources next year toward re-opening these state research programs, so that patients today have the same opportunity that Al Gore's sister had." = 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] Book by Chris Hitchens
From: http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/archives/hitchens/hitchens08-24-00.htm Dr. Strangelove in the White House By Christopher Hitchens FrontPageMagazine.com | August 24, 2000 No One Left to Lie To: The Triangulation of William Jefferson Clinton (Paperback) by Christopher Hitchens 160 pp., Verso Books, $10 CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS was the guest speaker at our Wednesday Morning Club luncheon last week. The relentless Clinton critic and author of No One Left to Lie To lashed into the Clinton regime before an appreciative audience of Hollywood conservatives at the Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel. Here is a full transcript of his remarks. Introduction by Ann Coulter Thank you. Its an honor to introduce Christopher Hitchens. I actually wasnt prepared for this. Im just Chriss stalker. I just show up wherever hes speaking, because hell call the President a rapist, and that always perks me up. I dont actually have any biographical information for you, but I know he writes for Vanity Fair, and he exposed the President not only as a rapist but a murderer in the bombing of the aspirin factory and many other foreigners that Clinton was willing to kill in order to distract from his personal problems. I will say that the first time I met Christopher Hitchens was not when we were smoking in a non-smoking area - though weve done that a lot. We were supposed to be having a debate. I attacked Clinton from the right, then he stood up and attacked Clinton from the left. So I thought it was a really, really excellent debate. But I really dont think you want to hear any more from me. Let me introduce the wonderful Christopher Hitchens. Remarks by Christopher Hitchens Thank you very much, Ann, and thank you very much David [Horowitz]. Im here to try to make trouble for the Democratic Convention. I was at the independent media center for the Shadow Convention last night when the forces of law and order came to close it down and the riot police came to move people out of the building on the spurious pretext that there was a bomb scare. We didnt get to make our point against the platform. And for a while out there on the streets, it looked quite crunchy and tasty and promising and menacing. Im in favor of polarization and always have been. There was something rather meek, still, about the liberals in the crowd. I remember thinking, What we need here is a couple of hardened street fighters. And I thought, I wish I had Horowitzs cell phone number at that exact moment. Strange how these things come to you. I have the sensation that at a meeting like this, people come with the intention of speaking as well as listening. So Ill condense, as best I can, what I have to say, and then well be together. We have an eyewitness account of Benjamin Franklin leaving the meeting at Philadelphia, where the Constitutional discussions were concluded. And as he came out into the street, an old lady with the last name Griffith - it was certainly a Welsh name - came up to him and said, Well doctor, what have you given us? And Franklin turned to her and said, Madam, we have given you a republic - if you can keep it. Now, I dont know how many of you watched the speech last night, but I watched it twice because an addiction to polarization is an indicator - the leading indicator - of masochism. And I thought, Yes, I know what kind of republic this is. Its a banana republic. You have to recall to your minds that fair, complacent, contented face - the face that says, I got away with the whole thing and theres nothing you can do about it. And hes reading to you - I dont know if it reminds me more of Huey Long or George Orwell - but it is said of Huey Long that when he first meditated his campaign for running, he called all the fat cats of his state together and said, Those who come in with me now will get big pieces of pie. Those of you who delay and come in later, you get smaller pieces of pie. Those of you who do not come in at all will get good government. Fine government. Well, theres the implicit moral blackmail of that, and then of course, theres the 1984 moment where the audience listens helplessly while the radio produces endless statistics about how everybodys life is better all the time. Idiotic statistics about greater prosperity, greater production, greater fulfillment of norms. Everything. Women will soon cease to menstruate, therell be five crops a year, and were on the road to conquering all known diseases. We have a happiness pill already in production, and youre supposed to listen and be grateful to the government for its ceaseless work on your behalf. Theres always a sinister downside to the reeling off of statistics like that by the great leader, from whom all blessings flow, the fountainhead of all this prosperity which hes done nothing himself to generate -- in fact, having done, to my knowledge, not a days work in his entire life. And having no skills, except the obvious ones of

Williams, CREATORS SYNDICATE http://www.conservativehq.com/chq/displayarticle?articleId=3014 Richard Mann, a North Carolina farmer, shot a wolf that was threatening his cattle. When he went to bury the animal the next day, he was confronted by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) officials who charged him with killing a red wolf -- a federally protected endangered species. Mann was fined $2,000 and required to perform "community services" -- building wolf houses and feeding the wolves. John Taylor, of Mount Vernon, Va., was ordered not to build a small house on his lot to accommodate his wheelchair-bound wife. The FWS says it would harm a bald eagle nest located 90 feet away. Oregon's Board of Forestry has forced Alvin and Marsha Seiber to set aside 37 acres of their 200-acre commercially harvestable land to protect the northern spotted owl. Paul Presault purchased his Burlington, Vt., residence in 1975. About 60 feet from his house was a railroad track. After he moved in, the railroad company pulled up the track and formally abandoned the line. Under an 1899 agreement, the land was to be returned to the original owners or successors. The City of Burlington had other plans. They simply took the property and built a bike and pedestrian path. People ride through Presault's, property creating a nuisance. Every week, 15 women gathered at Diane Reiter's Denver home for Bible study, prayer and dinner. There was no loud music, speeches or other noise. Nonetheless, the Denver zoning administration served Reiter with a cease-and-desist order citing a municipal ordinance that prohibits more than one "prayer meeting" a month in a private home. These cases and many more are summarized in the "National Directory of Environmental and Regulatory Victims," a publication of the Washington, D.C.-based National Center for Public Policy Research. They represent gross violations of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, namely, "... nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." You say: "What do you mean, Williams? The government didn't take their property; the people still hold title." Holding title to private property, all by itself, doesn't mean very much. For example, suppose the government recognizes that you can hold title to your house but forbids you from living in it. The fact that you hold title to the house would be meaningless because the government has restricted your options. By decree the government has reduced the value of your property, and as such it is a "taking" of property without just compensation in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Let's look at Oregon's Board of Forestry forcing the Seiber family to set aside 37 acres of their 200-acre plot to protect the northern spotted owl. It just might be that protecting the spotted owl is vital to the national interests. But the burden and cost of protecting the spotted owl should be borne by all Americans, not fall on particular Americans -- Mr. and Mrs. Seiber. Justice and fairness require that the Seibers be compensated for the loss in value of their property from having to set aside 37 acres. Just compensation doesn't go over big with environmentalist wackos, simply because it would reveal the cost of their agenda. They achieve their agenda better simply by getting federal, state and local governments to run roughshod over people's rights. They pick us off one at a time. The rest of us don't know how our neighbors are being victimized and, if we did, I doubt whether there'd be many of us who'd care and be willing to help defend our fellow citizen. We should all pause and remember that if the government can rip off one citizen, what's to say one of us won't be next?

[CTRL] Chicken Little Awards
From: http://www.anxietycenter.com/10th-chickenlittle.htm 10TH ANNUAL CHICKEN LITTLE AWARDS CENTER NAMES TEN TOP SCARE CAMPAIGNS THREATENING HUMAN HEALTH AND PROGRESS "Just about everything Americans and others around the world have been told in the past two decades about the climate, energy reserves, chemicals, and an endless list of bogus threats to their well being has been proven to be false," says Alan Caruba, founder of The National Anxiety Center, a think tank headquartered in Maplewood, N.J. The tenth annual Chicken Little Awards are devoted to identifying "the worst lies that have been foisted on Americans and others in order to destroy the astonishing progress mankind has made to improve everyoneís life." Founded In 1990 by the veteran science and business writer, the Center created "The Chicken Little Awards" to focus attention on the efforts of individuals and organizations "to scare the daylights out of millions of people for the purpose of influencing public policy." "What is continually ignored is the fact that Americans and others in developed nations around the world are living longer, generally healthier lives, than ever before in history," said Caruba. "What is ignored is a full-fledged assault on the very means to sustain our success, the ability to utilize the earthís resources and to maintain high standards of health, the provision of sufficient food for the worldís population, and the preservation of independent nations, free to determine their future." The Banning of DDT is first on the list of the Centerís Chicken Little Awards, largely due to the alarmist, false writings of Rachel Carson. "The sole purpose of the environmental movement is to reduce the earthís population, despite the fact the earth is over five billion years old," said Caruba. "When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT in 1972, it ignored the fact that DDT had prevented the death of 500 million people since its first widespread use in 1943. Since then, millions have needlessly died or had their lives impaired by Malaria, a disease on the rise. Plans to eliminate other pesticides worldwide are moving forward. This is nothing less than planned genocide." Global Warming is second on the list. "In the 1970ís environmentalists were warning that a new Ice Age was coming. When that scare campaign failed, they turned to global warming, but to date there is no evidence of a dramatic warming trend to support this claim. More than 18,000 scientists worldwide have spoken out against this Big Lie intended to force industrialized nations to reduce their energy use." Genetically Modified Crops is third on the list. "With a population estimated to be six billion, the earth needs this remarkable means to grow more food on less land, with less dependence on the chemicals used to ward off insect pests and adverse climate conditions. This, however, has not deterred leading environmental organizations from launching a huge scare campaign to needlessly frighten people." Food Scares are fourth on the Centerís list. "The food police have warned against irradiation that kills deadly food poisoning pathogens, as well as the diet of huge portions of the worldís population, including the natural inclination of humans to include meat in their diets," said Caruba. "The worst perpetrators of these lies are the members of the animal rights movement who are engaged in a worldwide program of terrorism." The Timber Lies, fifth on the Centerís list, have been a sustained program in the U.S. where two-thirds of the forests that existed when the Pilgrims arrived are still thriving. "The lies that the Spotted Owl was endangered shut down 187 mills in the northwest and wiped out 22,654 jobs. The U.S. is now importing lumber when it is home to vast forestlands that have been put off limits to any use by Americans, whether as timber resources or for recreation." The Oil Lies, sixth on the list, are the reason, in part, why Americans are paying higher prices than ever before for a tank of gasoline or to heat their homes and businesses. "Half the cost of gasoline in the U.S. goes to taxes. The U.S. has huge reserves of oil that years of increased restrictions by Congress have put off limits to create a phantom scarcity. The projected reserves of oil worldwide would fuel the needs of the worldís population for hundreds, if not thousands, of years." New technologies may, however, reduce dependence. Endangered Species rank seventh on the Centerís list. "Deterring the building of homes, hospitals, and other elements of a thriving economy is the sole purpose of this utterly failed program to preserve falsely identified endangered species. The U.S. is suffering from unfettered populations of deer, Canadian Geese, and the introduction of predator species that attack cattle and sheep, as well as endangering human life. Fully 99% of all the species that ever lived on earth are extinct. Darwin was right!" Urban Sprawl is ranked eighth
[CTRL] NYP: HILLARY PULLS STRINGS FOR SPY POLLARD
New York Post-September 1, 2000 HILLARY PULLS STRINGS FOR SPY POLLARD By GREGG BIRNBAUM EXCLUSIVE Hillary Rodham Clinton has intervened to block spy Jonathan Pollard from being transferred to a potentially dangerous unit of the federal prison where he is serving a life term, The Post has learned. The first lady quietly went to bat for Pollard last week after Jewish leaders told her prison officials planned to move him out of the relatively safe unit where he has spent the past seven years. Pollard's supporters fear he would have faced attacks in the new unit, said to house violent inmates including white supremacists, because he spied for Israel and is an Orthodox Jew. Under special arrangement, Pollard is imprisoned in a small unit at North Carolina's Butner prison, used primarily to house nonviolent sex offenders who are receiving treatment. The unit, called Clemson, is regarded as among the safest in the prison. Pollard's friends had warned that he would be transferred to the Virginia unit, where fights, stabbings, racist incidents and rapes are not uncommon. They believed prison officials want to transfer him to make room in the Clemson unit for additional sex offenders because the prison gets more funding for housing them than for other inmates. Pollard, a former U.S. Navy civilian intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty to passing military secrets to Israel. Whether he should be granted clemency has been a political issue in the Senate race and is even reported to have come up in Mideast peace talks over the past few years. Jewish officials told The Post they were thankful for Clinton's assistance in trying to prevent Pollard's transfer. Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), who notified Clinton's campaign aides about the situation Aug. 24, praised the first lady for acting quickly "on a humanitarian basis." "We asked for help, and I was told she took care of it and that she wanted to stay on top of it if there were any changes," Hikind said. "We're all grateful." Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson confirmed the Democratic candidate's involvement. "This issue was brought to Hillary Clinton's attention, and she was concerned on humanitarian grounds," Wolfson said. "She had those concerns conveyed to the appropriate authorities." Pollard's supporters believe Clinton's action has quashed the transfer, but federal prisons spokesman Scott Wolfson said that, as a matter of policy, the agency doesn't comment on inmate housing. Jewish leaders - who claim Pollard's life term doesn't fit the crime and is disproportionate to sentences received by other spies - have pressed Clinton and her GOP rival, Rick Lazio, to endorse clemency for Pollard. Neither has taken a position on whether Pollard should be freed. Hikind and other Jewish officials believe Clinton would pick up badly needed votes in the Jewish community, particularly among Orthodox and Hasidic Jews, if she comes out in favor of releasing Pollard. = 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.

We have a strict anti-spamming policy. Subscribe/Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Morris Dees vs. Aryan Nations Beginning this weekend and building to a crescendo on Monday the 28th of August, the public, especially in America, will be bombarded by establishment-media reports about the civil suit by Morris Dees, of the "Southern Poverty Law Center" against Richard G. Butler, the leader of Aryan Nations based at Hayden Lake, Idaho. The trial will take place in Coeur d'Alene at the Kootenai County courthouse. Dees is not the great attorney he's made out to be. He has won in the past against impoverished defendants with incompetent or non-existent counsel, and largely through the science of jury-profiling, wherein expert analysts of the psychology of potential jurors are used to assist Mr. Dees in hand-picking a jury sympathetic to his goals. While north Idaho is packed with obstreperous, intractable individualists for whom "gun control" are the two worst cuss words in the dictionary, there is no guarantee that such jurors will make it through gun-grabber Dees' jury-profile net. Mr. Butler's Aryan Nations was established in the 1970s on 20 acres of farmland which were to be the first parcel in a growing territory to be set aside as a white people's enclave in the mountain Northwest. Thousands of whites over the years contributed funds to Aryan Nations' based on this concept of a "bastion." Some of these donors were shocked when last year the 82-year-old Butler announced that the land would not be set aside as an Aryan homeland after his death, but deeded to his non-political children as their private inheritance. Mr. Butler has long preached a "Seedline" Christian Identity doctrine with remarkable Talmudic parallels. In the past few years this "Seedline" notion of a devil race has been conclusively debunked by scholar Ted Weiland in his book, "Eve: Did She or Didn't She?" ($8.00 postpaid from Mission to Israel, Box 248, Scottsbluff, NE 69363). In spite of the fact that the "Seedline" hypothesis is no longer the dominant theology of Christian Identity, the media prefer to describe the movement in Seedline terms because media executives believe it discredits the movement as a whole. Here in Idaho Aryan Nations is not known as the headquarters of a viable white separatist organization staffed by an elite, but rather as a "homeless shelter" and "soup kitchen" for white drug addicts, felons on parole, child molesters and government informants. Randy Weaver's wife Vicky would probably be alive today had Weaver not attended an Aryan Nations' event where he was befriended by informants for the Federal government's ATF gun police, and entrapped in an illegal gun scheme that resulted in a government shoot-out at his Ruby Ridge, Idaho cabin. The two most significant government Cointelpro-style "black op" stings of the 90s, the infamous Oklahoma (OK) City Bombing and the lesser known organization that had a hand in the bombing, the Aryan Republican Army (ARA), were peopled by Aryan Nations principals. For several years one of Mr. Butler's numerous "heirs-apparent" was Aryan Nations' "East Coast Ambassador" Mark Thomas. Mr. Thomas was implicated in the murder of a father and mother by their disgruntled skinhead sons in Pennsylvania. He helped direct the shadowy ARA in a string of bank robberies organized by informants for the US Secret Service and the CIA. One of ARA's gunmen was with Timothy McVeigh the day of the OK bombing. Before the bombing, McVeigh was spotted at a Spokane, Washington motel with two Aryan Nations figures, Chevie Kehoe and child molester and expert gunsmith Gregory McCrea. Kehoe would go on to slaughter William Mueller, an OK City bombing witness and his entire family. Kehoe was wearing an FBI tactical command jumpsuit when he perpetrated the murders. Many of these investigative leads were explored by leftist David Hoffman (no relation to this writer) in his book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror." I cannot furnish ordering details for this title because last year the FBI brought suit against its publisher, Feral House, to have all extant copies (the entire stock of several

Re: [CTRL] WT: Army training centers get failing grades
Glad to see you back Prudy; so, I wonder - we have military over the world training UN ttroops. The more I think of it, Clinton and/or NWO is slowly doing away and destroying our OWN military and are establishing grounds for NWO UN troops only. Our military represented the birds in the sky, the fish in and on the ocean, and our men on ground were something of which to be proud. So now we arm Saudi Arabia and Israel and permit Sadaam Hussein to hoard whatever he can and Russia cries about her financial woes and we spent how much in a phoney cold war channeling munitions all over the world. For the MAFIA controls the munitionsmaybe that is why Sicily got such a bad name - even Barabas used to work in sulphur mines and he probably smelled more like brimstone than the devil himself. So what is wrong with the picture.The Air Force.remember when the song played "And touched the face of God".at my brother in laws funeral this was used - he flew with the best of them. Anything full chicken Colonel up is political appointment..remembr Maxwell Taylor, Spatz, Hap Arnold, Billy Mitchll, Stilwell, and Pattonthese great men and some I had met - Nathan Twining was a stuffed shirt, Edwin Booth a big ham..Eisenhower, well why did he hate Patton because Patton knew the enemy - he new the Nazi and Communist mind...he knew their goalshe knew the windmills from the windmills and look what happned to him. No we have a great military but the big General lists. Look at that Clark, that NATO fraudcall that a soldier? Look at the Japanese sharpshooter called to WACO and Ruby Ridge who murdered and i say murdered a dog and its little 8th grade owner and then the motherthis is our WEst Point now?

When there is no war we have no need of many soldiersso oyou hve a reserve and national guard and even the boy scouts being taught honor and obey - for in military always thought a Gideon would do exactly as he was told... Our military is being destroyed from within with idiots - political hacks, like this Admiral Crowe making big bucks giving troops questionable vaccines...look at the military, and wonder and try to remember the last ime you heard the song and beautiful words to "And touched the face of God". This is only reason I am voting for Bush - he said no US soldier will wear UN uniform, and he said he would beef up military. Our Constitutuion states you defend this country and its borders...Clinton opens door to enemy I think because he is being just a little more than blackmailedhe is virtually held hostage in our national capitolhe is in fact, a hostagehe knows where he is safe, and the last place is in the White House. I had a frigtening experiencne - a friend of mine is trying to get me interested n learning all about Tarot Cards because I am looking for Tarot Card Assassins - anything I can find. I looked for the upside down man hanging from gibbet, but suddenly came across the Falling Tower card which to me always represented communications..suddenly I saw fall of dome and it looked like our White House. Scared the hell out of me. So now I go back to listening to music of the world, and wonder how Americian can ignore the works of Stephen Foster for writing Old Darakies and Old Folks at Home, and prefer hateful rap music is written to represent black america? You see they push for race riots, hatred - not of a man or a woman, but an entire nation of old people, blacks, hispanics, whites, christians, moslems..turning one against the other. I do not like Joe Lieberman.why? He speaks softly, smiles, and quotes scripture - but I still do not like Zionism for they would destroy the peaceful jew and arabs in holy land, rather than deal with thm honestly, about the big bucks in oil...bastards allleave the jew and the arabs alone - they speak words of peace but are preparing for war big time. Where you been Prudy...was wonderin about you yestreday and today was going to ask - been at lake or on vacation? And be proud of what is left of our military and remember those general lists - my poor old brother in law got passed over twice and he worked with Elliott Roosevelt, who made Generaland then he got passed by and he was working with Trumans nephew - he made General..but Phil was getting older and always held full command ad into the missile race and that guy had something they could never have.big brain and big hearthe paid way to college for two women who lost all in war.he always liked to help people but boy that guy was 100% GI Joe even though he held full Command.

It was something I remember in this book, and I remembered the name.about Manson called Taming The Beast - where Manson threatened Jimmy Carter's nephew when they had falling out, and he was going to have Ms. Lillian killed. I believe there are programmed killers out there some in and out of prison..they got Payne Stewart, who through Greg Norman was close to President4 dead men flying in an airplaneone had just won Ryder Cup and Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar - though he does not live in fear for the only thing that guy is scared of, is his wife?Remember Monica?

John Gotti in a sense, is a victimthe guy who sent him up, admitted to killing 19 people right on witness stand and they set him free? Remember what a nut G. Gordon Liddy was?

[CTRL] Fw: Out on the left coast
- Original Message - From: "Larry Petkov" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [address list snipped] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 12:30 AM Subject: [July30] Out on the left coast July 30 in Philly - www.unity2000.com Why Nader country might count The Green Party won't win the White House, but it could sway enough voters here to change who does. Brad Knickerbocker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor MEDFORD, ORE. Do you think that Nader will have any impact on Gore's campaign? Talk about it. It's called the "upper left coast" - that 800-mile stretch from San Francisco Bay to Puget Sound. And along with its spectacular scenery, it probably has more political progressives per square mile than any place this side of Harvard Square. This is Ralph Nader country, the region where the fiery consumer advocate and Green Party presidential candidate - although he has virtually no chance of winning the White House - could make all the difference in who does. "A year ago it was a whisper in the wind," says Tim Hermach, an environmental activist in Eugene, Ore. "Now I hear a rumble, and come November it could be a shout." Why the Nader attraction up here? For one thing, there's a history of labor and social activism going back more than a century. This quadrant of the American geopolitical landscape is synonymous with free speech (Berkeley), the remnants of hippiedom (Humboldt County in northern California), overt dissent (the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle), today's version of anarchism (Eugene, Ore.), and environmental activism throughout. There's also a tradition of maverick politicians from Wayne Morse to Tom McCall to Mark Hatfield to the majority on today's Seattle City Council, who are members of the Green Party. While 19 percent of the country was going for Ross Perot in '92, the diminutive Texas billionaire was winning more than one-fourth of the presidential vote in this part of the country. "Perot was a bit of a fascist, but at least he was talking common-man talk," says Mr. Hermach. Nader's message of environmental protection, social justice, and grass-roots democracy resonates with many here - particularly those who see little difference between "compassionate conservative" Republicans, buffing a more centrist image, and the predominant New Democrats, who have shifted their party rightward. "Back in 1992, I was really excited about Al Gore," says Washington State activist and author David Korten. "My wife and I sent him a substantial campaign contribution and talked up his candidacy with our friends." But today, Mr. Korten told the Green Party convention in June, "we are Greens because we are no longer willing to be manipulated by a political system in which the Republicrats present us with a nonchoice among candidates bought and paid for with corporate money." Dan Hamburg, a former Democratic member of Congress from northern California who switched to being Green, echoes many Nader supporters when he says, "I'm tired of the Democratic Party taking us for granted." Gore may have gotten a post-convention bounce in the polls, but with Nader running a full-blown campaign this year (as opposed to his desultory effort in 1996), the vice president could be in trouble out here. Political analyst Charles Cook includes Oregon and Washington as among the dozen states "too close to call." "In closer presidential contests, like this one,... tiny states, which carry disproportional weight in the Electoral College, become a factor," he says. "It's tempting to completely dismiss [Reform Party hopeful Patrick] Buchanan, and for that matter, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader as insignificant factors in this race. But if this is going to be a really close race, small things could be important." Still, some observers throw a spray of cold, north Pacific water on the Nader phenomenon. Citing the historical record of other left-wing candidates such as Henry Wallace in 1948 and Eugene McCarthy 20 years later, Oregon State University political scientist William Lunch says, "It's an interesting phenomenon which will dissipate and go away as we get closer to the election." "In the short run, this is fun and it's a nice diversion," he adds. "But in the long run, it's a footnote to our real politics." For the moment, however, the Nader movement is very much abuzz in the Pacific Northwest. This past weekend, Mr. Nader packed a political rally in Portland. More than 10,000 people paid $7 each to attend, a larger group than any that has come out to see either George Bush or Al Gore - including their conventions. Nader's running mate is a big draw in this part of the country as well. She's Winona LaDuke, a native American author and activist from Minnesota who grew up in Ashland, Ore., graduated from Harvard in economics, and in 1994 was named by Time magazine as one of America's 50 most-promising young leaders. Many supporters feel as Steve Traisman of Ashland

BRITISH banks have been involved in the laundering of money through Liechtenstein, a special prosecutor said yesterday. Kurt Spitzer was speaking after an eight-month investigation into claims that the principality was a hotbed of laundering for organised crime, including Russian gangs and South American drug cartels. Mr Spitzer, who was brought in by Liechtenstein from Austria to investigate allegations made in a leaked German intelligence report last year, produced his findings in the capital, Vaduz. He dismissed most of the claims as rubbish. He said: "I have observed that most assets that wound up in the principality to be laundered had already been 'pre-washed' in other countries. This ought to serve as a reminder to those countries which are now pointing the figure at the principality." In particular, he cited transfers of dubious funds from banks in Britain, America, Switzerland and Luxembourg. He said bankers in those countries had failed to exercise due diligence. He said: "In all, I can say that white-collar crime in Liechtenstein is no different [from that] in other European countries." But he was critical of the principality's failure to act promptly on international requests for tracking down money launderers. He said the authorities involved were too bureaucratic, inefficient and short-staffed. Two judges are now under investigation for obstructing the course of justice. Mr Spitzer disclosed that a money-laundering investigation was under way against Herbert Batliner, a prominent Liechtenstein financial manager who has been implicated in the slush-fund scandal involving Germany's former chancellor, Helmut Kohl, and his Christian Democratic Union. Mr Batliner, 72, is suspected of stashing away millions of pounds in undeclared CDU donations via a web of offshore trusts. He has declined to comment. Liechtenstein is toughening its laws and boosting manpower to fight financial crime. London Telegraph, September 1, 2000 - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

This was under the Trading with the Enemy Act, for their financing of Nazis. This order also states UB's partnership with the Thyssen Family, the notorious Nazi financiers.

George W. Bush, was a traitor working on behalf of the Nazis when this country was at war with Germany during World War II. The proof comes in the form of four arguments: Argument #1: The Secret War Against the Jews (John Loftus and Mark Aarons, 1994, St. Martin's Griffin). Pages 357 - 361 Loftus and Aarons spell out how Herbert "Bert" Walker and his son-in-law, Prescott Bush, worked on behalf of the Nazis after the US had gone to war against Germany. Argument #2: Webster G. Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin's George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography (http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm) Chapter II - The Hitler Project Tarpley and Chaitkin cite many documents confirming the thesis. Specifically, they use Vesting Order 248 (1942) as evidence that the US Government considered the Union Banking Corporation as working on behalf of the enemy (Germany). Tarpley and Chaitkin also footnote documents confirming that Prescott Bush was the director of the Union Banking Corporation. Argument #3 The author has obtained a copy of the summary for Vesting Order 248 from the Federal Register, in Washington DC. Where: The Federal Register Washington, DC Web: http://www.nara.gov/fedreg/ Metro stop: Union Station Cost: 10 cents a copy Vesting Order 248: The summary for Vesting Order 248 is very brief. The author recommends that interested parties read the first few paragraphs. The summary reads: ALL OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF UNION BANKING CORPORATION AND CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS OWING BY IT Under the authority of the Trading with the enemy Act, as amended, and Executive Order No. 9095, as amended, and pursuant to law, the undersigned, after investigation, finding: (a) That the property described as follows: All of the capital stock of Union Banking Corporation, a New York corporation, New York, New York, which is a business enterprise within the United States, consisting of 4,000 shares of $100 par value common capital stock, the names of the registered owners of which, and the number of shares owned by them respectively, are as follows... One of the stockholders listed is Prescott S. Bush. Argument #4 From the local library the author has made a photocopy of an entry in a reference book from September, 1942 (a month before Vesting Order 248 was issued) showing that Prescott Bush was a director of the Union Banking Corp. (Source: Polk's Bankers Encyclopedia, 96th edition, Section 1, Sept. 1942, R.L. Polk Co., Publishers) Author's question: If Ralph Nader's family had obtained great wealth from a grandfather's work on behalf of the Nazis would the media remain quiet about it? The media's silence on the subject of what Loftus-Aarons and Tarpley-Chaitkin have written regarding the Bush family dynasty speaks volumes about the mainstream media's commitment to protect the general public from tyranny and oppression. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

[CTRL] Bush Family's Cruel Legacy
from: http://www.bushcheney2000.org/BushLegacyIndex.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.bushcheney2000.org/BushLegacyIndex.htm"Bush Family's Cruel Legacy/A - George Herbert "Bert" Walker and Prescott Bush (1895-1972): US Government seizes assets for alleged ties to Nazi Germany Top (sources: The Secret War Against the Jews (John Loftus and Mark Aarons, 1994, St. Martin's Griffin; and Webster G. Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin's George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography at http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm) Summary: In 1942, the US government charges Prescott Bush with running Nazi front groups in the US. Details (From the writing of Loftus-Aarons Tarpley-Chaitkin. It gets somewhat confusing but here goes): In 1900, Bert Walker founds the banking and investment firm of G. H. Walker and Company. In 1924, while G.H. Walker is still intact he is also the president of Union Banking, which is located in the offices of Averill Harriman's company (W.A. Harriman Co.). (Harriman is a dominating figure of US politics at the time; a sort of one-man Heritage Foundation.) At this time Union Banking has ties with Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist who is financing Adolf Hitler's infant political party. In 1926, Bert Walker makes his son-in-law Prescott Bush vice president of W.A. Harriman. According to confidential, unnamed sources, Loftus and Aarons say that in the 1930s Union Banking becomes an "out-and-out Nazi money-laundering machine." Walker makes millions for his clients by investing in Germany's economic revival. He leaves W.A. Harriman in 1931 to concentrate on G.H. Walker, with Prescott Bush staying behind at Harriman. Harriman merges with Brown Brothers, making the firm Brown Brothers, Harriman. Prescott Bush is made a senior partner. Walker also sets up a deal for Union Banking to take over the North American operations of the Hamburg-Amerik a Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the US. This shipping line smuggles in German agents, propaganda and money for bribing American politicians to see things Hitler's way. A holding company is set up to mask another holding company, the Harriman Fifteen Corporation. This directors of this company are Averill Harriman, Bert Walker and Prescott Bush. In 1934 an employee of Walker's, Dan Harkins, blows the whistle on the Hamburg Line to Congress. A 1934 congressional investigation alleges that Walker's Hamburg-Amerika Line subsidizes a wide range of pro-Nazi propaganda efforts both in Germany and the US. At this time Prescott Bush hires a young lawyer named Allen Dulles (later to head the CIA) to help hide the firm's assets. The Roosevelt administration begins to investigate Prescott Bush and Bert Walker. In 1942, the US government charges Prescott Bush with running Nazi front groups in the US. Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, all shares of the Union Banking Corporation are seized, including those held by Prescott Bush as being in effect held for enemy nationals. A few days later two of Union Banking's subsidiaries are seized. * * * Author's Note: George W. Bush wasn't even born when this was going on. Author's Point: Still, if the US government was forced to act in 1942 against Prescott Bush's assets why should we all not think that the Bush family partly owes their rise in power to Hitler's money? And, when does anyone in this dynasty get punished for this? Author's Second Point: When the Washington Post would rather report on Bush's origins like a hyperactive, teenage fanzine when they damn well have heard the stories about this family one wonders how long this country can remain a democracy.

from: http://www.bushcheney2000.org/BushLegacyIndex.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.bushcheney2000.org/BushLegacyIndex.htm"Bush Family's Cruel Legacy/A - Highlights of 41st President George Herbert Walker Bush's (1924-) Foreign Policy): Top Author's Warning (sources: Deterring Democracy, Noam Chomsky, 1992, Hill and Wang; and Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, William Blum, 1995, Common Courage Press) Summary: President George Herbert Walker Bush starts two wars and betrays a desperate population. (Author's note: by criticizing the conduct of the US military here I am only criticizing the men in charge, not US soldiers in the middle of it. Here I am criticizing the president, George Bush.) * In 1988, while successfully campaigning for the presidency, uses perhaps the most negative campaign in U.S. history. The racially divisive "Willie Horton" ads are an effort to paint his opponent as soft on crime. * In 1989, the Bush administration invades friendly Panama, ostensibly to arrest Manuel Noriega, who has been on the CIA payroll since the early 1970s. * According to human rights groups this invasion kills between 3,000 and 4,000 people. In addition, U.S. forces uses F-117A stealth fighters in combat for the first time, helicopters fire at buildings with only civilian occupants, a U.S. tank destroys a public bus (killing 27 passengers), at least a hundred civilian residences aree burned to the ground with many apartments destroyed. * In 1990, old US ally Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait. This is undoubtably a crime. However, as crimes go it compares favorably with Bush's invasion of Panama and Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon (with 20,000 killed in the latter.) Afterwards, Iraq wakes up to the fact that their old friend Mr. Bush is ready and willing to go to war over Kuwait. The Iraqis make several very sensible overtures for peace. The US mainstream media obediently does not report any of them. One of the peace proposals Iraq offered was to pull out of Kuwait in five days. Bush says no, it has to be three. No more negotiation was permitted. (All those Iraqi people had to die because Bush could not offer a four-day pull-out?) After five months of thwarting this kind of diplomacy Bush starts the Gulf War. (Remember also we had no treaties to defend Kuwait. And, we were not at war with Iraq until Bush attacked Baghdad.) * The early "war" is an attack on Iraq's civilians and their infrastructure.(Targets include the power, sewage and water systems, hospitals and schools.) This is all done to punish "Saddam". * After bombing Baghdad to smithereens the second part of the war began as Bush gave the orders to mercilessly bomb defenseless Iraqi soldiers in the desert. * In addition, many Iraqi troops were buried alive by U.S.-led forces utilizing tanks with plows attached. Hundreds more Iraqi troops fleeing the continued shelling were shot from behind. * A deliberate bombing of a civilian air raid shelter in Baghdad kills 1,500 civilians, many of whom were women and children. * Throughout the conflict the Bush administration rebuffs efforts by moderate Iraqi generals interested in obtaining help in order to topple Saddam Hussein, and restore democracy in Iraq. * Immediately following the War what was left of Iraq's Republican Guard suppresses a Kurdish rebellion that Bush personally encouraged. Approximately 25,000 civilians are killed while Norman Schwartzkopf, in the general area, signs autographs for his fans. (Even the Washington Post, always in the service of US militarism, occasionally admits that Bush actually encouraged the Kurdish rebellion; the second part of that story is he went fishing while it was being punished.) It is the author's opinion that Bush was stark-raving mad at this time, looking into the TV camera with an irrationally venomous hatred; and pursuing a needless, totally one-sided conflict as if he had to have total victory not just over Hussein but every man, woman and child in Iraq. * * * Author's note: George W. Bush cannot be held responsible for the cruelty of his father. Author's point: However, Bush is running in part on his father's record. Name-recognition is his appeal. If we are supposed to recognize the name it makes sense we should be entitled discuss the namesake's record. Top - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

Bush: the overly eager Executioner Top Author's Warning Hitchens on Bush (Note: Upcoming scheduled executions by the State of Texas can be found here.) Bush Executes Larry Robison in January (21?), 2000. Robison was an intermittently insane person convicted of killing five people in 1982. Even though the Texas legislature recently passed a law prohibiting the execution of mentally ill prisoners, the law exempts death sentences handed down before the measure was enacted. The Bush administration justifies the execution on the basis that his mental illness was caused by drugs, not heredity. (Counter punch, 1-15, 2000) Executes Karla Fay Tucker. Tucker is white, attractive and an axe murderer. This is the first execution of a female since the 1860s and the first in the US since the 1980s. (The Ethical Spectacle, March, 1998) Mocks Tucker's plea for clemency to conservative newspaper writer Tucker Carlson who reports it. Bush, Carlson wrote, ridiculed the inmate by affecting a whimpering woman: "Please, don't kill me." (Washington Post, 7/6/00) Executes Shaka Sankofa (formerly known as Gary Graham.) No evidence was brought forth in his trial. (He was convicted of killing Bobby Lambert outside a grocery store in 1981.) His conviction rested entirely on a single eyewitness who claimed she saw him through her windshield for a split-second at night time. (No doubt she really believes she had. The point being made is that eye-witness testimony is notoriously unreliable.) Has executed prisoners whose lawyers were asleep during part of the trial. Has executed more prisoners than anyone else since the death penalty was restored in 1976. With one exception, has executed every person whose case has come before him. The Texas Death House In the Revolutionary Worker (RW, 7/16/00) comes some facts that I will report here. The RW writer pulls them from the Chicago Tribune but doesn't offer when they appeared. Understand, this author is neither a Communist nor someone who advocates it. (I don't subscribe to any political system which suppresses speech or outlaws private property completely.) However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to pull facts out of the Washington Post for the purpose of advocating something from a progressive point of view. Hence, occasionally I look at the RW for this kind of information. * Texas has the second-largest death row population in the country. Second only to California which has 568, Texas currently has 457 prisoners on death row. More than 200 of these prisoners were condemned since 1995, when George W. Bush became governor. 40% of the prisoners on Texas death row are African-American, 22% are Latino. * The Chicago Tribune recently did an investigation which looked at the cases of 131 people who had been executed while Bush has been governor... The study found that Texas has executed dozens of death row inmates who clearly did not receive fair trials. The Tribune (June 6-10, 2000) examined trial transcripts, legal briefs, appellate rulings and lawyer disciplinary records and interviewed dozens of witnesses, lawyers and judges. Bush has publicly claimed that none of the people executed while he has been governor have been innocent. (Now the RW is quoting the Chicago Tribune.) * Defense attorneys in 40 cases presented no evidence whatsoever or only one witness during the trials sentencing phase. * In 29 cases, a psychiatrist gave testimony that the American Psychiatric Association has condemned as unethical and untrustworthy. * In 43 cases, or one-third, a defendant was represented at trial or on initial appeal by an attorney who had been or was later disbarred, suspended or otherwise sanctioned. * In at least 23 cases, the prosecutions evidence at trial or sentencing included a jailhouse informanttestimony that is highly unreliable. * In at least 23 cases, the prosecution presented a visual comparison of hairs evidence that is extremely inexact.

Federal Reserve + IRS = The Protection Racket Coup of 1913

INTRODUCTION
Federal Reserve Money is Protection Racket Money.
Federal Reserve money buys protection from punishment. You are punished
if you don't pay taxes. This has become the Federal Reserve's primary
monetary authority. The moral hazard of basing monetary authority on
punishment has now been realized in the systemic and out-of-control gang
rapes of prisoners in the US. All other unlawful acts by US governments
are now overshadowed by the murderous, sexually sadistic character of
governmental authority that has developed in US penal systems. Federal
Reserve money is now protection racket money, or, if you prefer
"punishment protection money". Calling it "fiat money", "debt money" or
even "legal tender" obscures its true character. The transition to this
form of money began in 1913, when the 16th Amendment dramatically
expanded the potential need for legal tender in the form of taxes while,
in that same year, the Federal Reserve Act started the process of
removing from legal tender any backing value other than the protection it
affords against punishment. That the redefinition of "legal tender" was
unconstitutional(1) has become only a minor dimension of the massive
decay in legitimacy and moral leadership during the 20th century
triggered by these acts of 1913. These acts were largely in the interest
of continental European banking concerns doing business under the name of
J. P. Morgan. As vital interests of the United States were sacrificed on
their behalf, those foreign interests are reasonably called "enemies",
the acts of U.S. citizens on their behalf "treasons", and all such
citizens "traitors".
Legitimate governments provide assurance that we are secure in our lives
and properties by protecting our legal rights in exchange for taxes and
other duties. The most legitimate governments will even back up their
commitment by providing some sort of compensation if our legal rights are
breached, much the same as insurance companies do when they pay out on an
insurance policy. But there is a fine line between protection rackets and
insurance companies. Indeed, gangsters frequently call their protection
rackets "insurance" and the payments they extort from their victims
"insurance premiums". That fine line between protector and protection
racket is crossed when "moral hazard" tempts the "protector" beyond the
limits of his character.
In conventional insurance terminology, "moral hazard" is the temptation
to artificially increase hazards. A classic case of moral hazard is an
otherwise unprofitable business buying lots of fire insurance and then
hiring an arsonist to burn down the place of business.
Insurers, too, can profit by increasing hazards if it is the uninsured
who suffer the exposure to risk. A classic example of an insurer's moral
hazard is the temptation to parasitize a productive business by
threatening it with destruction unless the owners pay regular "insurance
premiums".
And that brings us to the morality of governance.
The most profound moral hazard for governance is the penal system
combined with taxation.
The framers of the US Constitution included prohibitions against cruel
and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment. They also made it
difficult to parasitize productive States. This they did by requiring
that taxation on a State's citizenry be proportional to the State's
population under Article. 1. Section. 2. Clause 3. and Article. 1.
Section. 9. Clause 4. Making taxes proportional to State population helps
control the moral hazard of governance at the Federal level by making it
difficult for the Federal government to transfer wealth to States that
are politically active from States that are economically productive.
Also, States are more capable of defending themselves from the Federal
government than are individuals. Unfortunately, the requirement for
taxation proportional to State population ("with apportionment" and "with
regard to the census") was removed by the 16th Amendment, thereby
promoting political porkbarrel at the Federal level and punishing
productivity. In the same year the Federal Reserve Act gave license to
gradually reduce legal tender's reliance on gold and silver as backing
value, leaving the protection legal tender afforded against government
punishment it's primary backing value. (Shortly thereafter, the 17th
Amendment also removed from the States the power to elect Senators,

The brash billionaire, champion yachtsman and founder of Cable News Network and Turner Network Television set an independent course early in his career, betting big on himself and taking daring gambles that have not always succeeded. Known as "The Mouth of the South" and "Captain Outrageous" for his notorious volubility and singular opinions, Turner built a communications empire from his father's over-stretched billboard business and is now creatively engaged in giving away the fortune he earned from it. "Few Americans," wrote Newsweek, "have cut such a swath through life." "That list [Forbes magazine's list of the wealthiest Americans] is destroying our country! These new super-rich won't loosen up their wads because they're afraid they'll reduce their net worth and go down on the list. That's their Super Bowl." Ted Turner Turner demonstrated his individuality early on. At the military-oriented McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tenn., "Terrible Ted" is remembered for his odd habits, which included practicing amateur taxidermy and growing lawn grass in his room. Brown University asked him to leave after he was caught with a woman in his private quarters. He won the America's Cup in 1977 with his yacht Courageous--and then showed up drunk to collect the prize. He has worn a Confederate officer's uniform, complete with sword, to corporate negotiations; managed the Atlanta Braves (which he owns, along with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks) from the dugout during a particularly bad season; and challenged his arch-enemy, fellow media mogul Rupert Murdoch, to a televised boxing match in Las Vegas. "The man who looks like Clark Gable and sounds like Huey Long has been an unpredictable joker in the cable industry--and in the American psyche. He built a communications empire by taking enormous risks, always flouting the conventional wisdom." Gwenda Blair, writing in Business Monthly It hasn't all been fun and games for Turner, however. He has been treated for depression, and he was just 24 when his father Ed, despondent over financial difficulties, fatally shot himself at his South Carolina plantation. Taking the helm of the family business upon his father's death, Turner expanded into television, purchasing an Atlanta UHF station in 1970. Just a decade later, he used the profits from that stationby now the flagship of his nationwide Turner Broadcasting System--to launch CNN. Despite widespread predictions of disaster, the 24-hour all-news cable channel soon proved its worth with minute-by-minute coverage of such events as the space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986 and the Persian Gulf War in 1991. These Turner successes, however, were interspersed with some notable failures: an ill-conceived hostile takeover bid for the CBS network and a vast overpayment of $1.6 billion for the MGM film library. After each setback, Turner restrategized and recreated himself. Little wonder that many see him as a modern-day Rhett Butler, hero of the quintessential Southern melodrama Gone With the Wind. Beginning in the mid-1980s, Turner began focusing on his personal brand of philanthropy. His much-maligned Goodwill Games, first held in Moscow in 1986, were both a publicity stunt for Turner Broadcasting and a genuinely-intended contribution to world peace. The Turner Foundation, founded in 1990, gives millions to environmental causes, and in 1994, Turner himself gave $200 million to charity. His promised gift of $1 billion to

AUDREY'S MISSILES A weekly newsletter dedicated to the peaceful reform of the United States government. GOOSE FEATHERS Vincente Fox, President-elect of Mexico has a vision. He wants to open the border between Mexico and the United States, but he admits that this cannot be done right away and that the huge wage gap must be diminished first. (He failed to mention whether closing that gap that would mean raising wages in Mexico or lowering them in the United States.) Mexico has a history of very poor treatment of her workers. Real wages have fallen since 1982, following the debt catastrophe at that time. In the next four year period, wages fell 40-50% until a modest recovery in 1987. In 1995 the economy again took a downturn and purchasing power fell another 20%. In 1982 and 1994 Mexico faced severe economic and foreign-exchange problems, with the peso devaluing each time. Mexican workers saw incomes fall from this double blow. Immediately after NAFTA passed Mexico again devalued the peso, further worsening the lot of the common worker in that country. President-elect Fox has come on the scene with many hopes and visions, and there are some positive signs about the changing power structure in that country. Outgoing President Zedillo appears to be cooperating fully, and the new budget that comes out in September is expected to reflect the programs of the new party that will be taking power in December. Party jobs are being vacated and PAN, the political party of the new president, is filling them with new people. What can the new president do for Mexico? There is much discussion to eliminate the minimum wage because some are saying it has "set a ceiling rather than a floor" on wages. Much of the problem appears to be the wide-spread flouting of the law because there has been little or no enforcement. To illustrate, Fox himself is reported to have violated Mexico's law prohibiting child labor. A Reuters dispatch quotes the Mexico City daily, Reforma, reports finding at least 30 minors and teenagers being trucked into the Fox family ranch near San Cristobal, in the central agricultural state of Guanajuato, to work for about 65 pesos (about $7) a day. Children as young as eleven were working for about $42 a week (seasonal workers with no benefits). A young man who appeared to be taking care of the children is reported to have said that the pay barely pays for food and they do not pay the children for every day they work. The newspaper further states that child labor, especially in the impoverished countryside, is common. In addition to the widespread violations of law, the laws themselves help to keep wages down. Recently Reuters reports that a Volkswagen strike was declared "illegal" by the government and the workers ordered back to work. The law is such that if they did not go back they would lose their jobs. Given these conditions, how can Mexico close that wage gap? Is Vincente Fox a reformer with a vision or just another politician saying one thing and doing another? Even if he has the will, can he get at the poverty, corruption and lawlessness that is endemic in Mexico? Will he risk the wrath of the wealthy land and factory owners by attempting to raise wages and improve the lot of working people? Is his vision just a clumsy attempt to relieve the population pressure, or is he a sly fox, trying to pluck the down from the North American goose to feather the nest of the wealthy class in Mexico and the wealthy Americans who are profiting from the maquiladoras? Honk if you think he is a reformer. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/mexico_foxlabor000813.html http://news.lycos.com/headlines/Business/article.asp?docid=RTBUSINESS-MEXICO-V OLKSW AGEN-DCdate=2823 http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/jtuck/jtsalinas.html http://www.natlaw.com/pubs/torrient.htm http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/americas/07/06/mexico.pan/ http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/americas/07/13/mexico.politics/ http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/mexico_foxlabor000813.html http://www.50years.org/factsheets/telmex.html http://www.ipma-hr.org/global/mexico.html READ THIS NEWSLETTER AND THEN GIVE IT TO A FRIEND.

Saba (Requires Yahoo! Messenger) Thursday August 31 8:59 AM ET ACLU To Represent Group AP Photo BOSTON (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union will represent a group that advocates sex between men and boys in a lawsuit brought by the family of a slain 10-year-old. The family of Jeffrey Curley of Cambridge said the North American Man/Boy Love Association and its Web site - which is now offline - incited the attempted molestation and murder of the boy on Oct. 1, 1997. One of two men convicted in the killing, Charles Jaynes, 25, reportedly viewed the group's Web site shortly before the killing, and also had in his possession some of NAMBLA's publications. Also convicted in the killing was 24-year-old Salvatore Sicari. The ACLU said the case, filed in federal court in mid-May, involves issues of freedom of speech and association. ``For us, it is a fundamental First Amendment case,´´ John Roberts, executive director of the Massachusetts branch of the ACLU, told The Boston Globe Wednesday. ``It has to do with communications on a Web site, and material that does not promote any kind of criminal behavior whatsoever.´´ ACLU officials said NAMBLA members deny encouraging coercion, rape or violence. Attorney Lawrence Frisoli, who represents the Curleys, said he is glad the ACLU is defending NAMBLA, because he has had trouble locating the group's members. Harvey Silverglate, an ACLU board member, said Wednesday that the group's attorneys will try to block any attempt by the Curleys to get NAMBLA's membership lists, or other materials identifying members. The ACLU also will act as a surrogate for NAMBLA, allowing its members to defend themselves in court while remaining anonymous. According to the Globe, NAMBLA officials in the past have said their main goal is the abolition of age-of-consent laws that classify sex with children as rape. At two separate trials last year, prosecutors said Jaynes and Sicari were sexually obsessed with the boy, lured him from his Cambridge neighborhood with the promise of a new bike, and then smothered him with a gasoline-soaked rag when he resisted their sexual advances. They then stuffed him into a concrete-filled container and dumped it into a Maine river. Sicari, convicted of first-degree murder, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Jaynes' second-degree murder and kidnapping convictions enable him to seek parole in 23 years. The Curleys last week were awarded $328 million by a superior court jury in a civil suit against Jaynes and Sicari. -30- Thirty, the end..$328 million dollars is too cheap a price..for the life of the child, was priceless. saba Email this story - (View most popular) | Printer-friendly format Archived Stories by Date: Search NewsAdvanced Search: Stories Photos Full Coverage Home Top Stories Business Tech Politics World Local Entertainment Sports Science Health Full Coverage Copyright © 2000 The Associated Press.

[CTRL] Fw: FYI- Increase in FBI Activity
Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 11:15 AM Subject: FYI FBI Intelligence Efforts Have Risen Sharply ...OLE_Obj... The number of FBI intelligence officers has grown almost fivefold during the Clinton administration, but internal security and terrorism cases accounted for only 45 of the FBI's 12,730 convictions in 1998, a Syracuse University research center reported yesterday. The research center cautioned that convictions may not be the best measure of the effectiveness of the FBI intelligence effort, and an FBI executive said the small number may reflect the bureau's success in preventing actual terrorist attacks. FBI Director Louis J. Freeh has stated that the bureau is putting top priority on thwarting foreign spies and preventing terrorist attacks, but hard data about the change in emphasis have been sparse because so many of the operations are classified. Citing federal employment data, Syracuse's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) said the total of FBI intelligence officers increased from 224 in 1992 to 1,025 in 1999, but their exact duties are not known. FBI Assistant Director John Collingwood said in an interview that these are intelligence analysts and that their increase is mirrored by an increase in field agents assigned to hunt spies and battle terrorists but that those personnel figures remain secret. The new intelligence analysts were hired "as part of our effort to use our information more effectively across programs, as opposed to limiting its use within one program," Collingwood said. "It's all part of our effort to play a larger role in the intelligence community in counterintelligence and counterterrorism activity, to identify, prevent and disrupt terrorists," Collingwood said. The TRAC study said Justice Department records show that in 1998 there were 37 terrorism convictions and eight internal security convictions from FBI cases. There was no earlier Justice data on terrorism cases because the category was only recently employed, but national security convictions totaled seven each in 1992 and 1993, four in 1994, 12 in 1995 and eight each in 1996, 1997 and 1998. In 1998, drug cases, bank robberies and bank fraud were still the three categories producing the most FBI convictions, accounting for 54 percent of the 12,730 that year. "The low number of terrorism convictions is a good thing, not a bad thing," Collingwood said. "We're now working with the CIA and foreign agencies to disrupt terrorists before they can carry out their actions and preferably before they get inside the United States. Figures on those actions aren't recorded, because they are secret." He noted that the statistics can understate anti-terrorist efforts. "We recently convicted a gang in the Pacific Northwest of bank robbery and their convictions will show up that way, but they were robbing banks to support their terrorist activities," Collingwood said. The TRAC study itself said, "The number of criminal prosecutions of spies and terrorists is not a very good index of FBI concerns . . . because these kinds of cases frequently are not brought into open court." The study found evidence that more time was being spent developing all kinds of cases, because the percentage of FBI cases that U.S. attorneys agreed to prosecute rose from 41 percent in 1992 to 49 percent in 1998. Also, the conviction rate for defendants in all kinds of FBI cases improved from 67 percent in 1992 to 76 percent in 1998. Median prison sentences rose from 18 months to 25 months.

[CTRL] Fw: FYI Bin Laden Plot to Blow Up Games
Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 11:20 AM Subject: FYI Bin Laden Plot To Blow Up Games ...OLE_Obj... AUSTRALIAN authorities have tightened security at an experimental nuclear reactor in Sydney after the discovery of a possible terrorist plot by Islamic fundamentalists to blow it up during the Olympic Games. The plot was uncovered by detectives in New Zealand investigating an alleged racket to smuggle people from the Middle East into the country. There was speculation of a link with Osama Bin Laden, the fugitive Afghanistan-based terrorist. Detectives say they found a virtual "command centre", complete with conference table, street maps of Sydney, plans highlighting entry and exit routes to the reactor, and notes on police security tactics during a raid in the Auckland suburb of Mount Albert. The operation took place in March, but details emerged only this weekend. The detectives alerted the Australian police and a joint investigation was carried out with co-operation from American and British security services. Authorities in Australia and New Zealand last night tried to play down the incident. "As far as I can gather, any such plan has been foiled," said George Hawkins, the New Zealand police minister. Daryl Williams, the Australian attorney-general, insisted yesterday there was "no credible threat to the Olympics". Their remarks failed to calm fears in Sydney, where residents and Greenpeace, the environmental group, called for the reactor to be shut down for the duration of the Games. A similar installation in Atlanta, near the site of the 1996 Olympics, was closed during that time. Officials have admitted that the reactor lacks any day-to-day plans to deal with terrorist bombs. "Our security arrangements do not cover threats of this sort," said a spokeswoman. The reactor, used for scientific research and nuclear medical applications, is at Lucas Heights, a southern suburb of Sydney just 16 miles from the main Olympic stadium. Although only the size of a household washing machine, it produces substantial amounts of plutonium, which has to be stored in secure sites. Three men, Auckland residents with ties to Afghanistan, were arrested on false passport and documentation charges. A fourth suspect was taken into custody earlier this month. All are expected to appear in court this week, but no terrorist charges have been brought against them.

[CTRL] Woman protests restroom arrest
http://www.cincypost.com/news/toilet083000.html C I N N A T I P O S T Woman protests restroom arrest By Kimball Perry, Post staff reporter Police Specialist Charles Taber is known as one of Cincinnati's finest - except at the Hamilton County Courthouse where he arrested a female custodian who refused to let him use a closed bathroom. Sheila Williams, 28, was arrested Aug. 21 by Taber - who was not in uniform and didn't immediately identify himself as a police officer - and charged with disorderly conduct. ''He's just a bully with a badge,'' said John Burlew, attorney for Ms. Williams. ''No comment,'' Taber, a District Four officer, said Tuesday. Ms. Williams - who has been employed by Hamilton County for 14 months - was in a men's bathroom Aug. 21 cleaning the toilets with two probationers helping her as part of their community service. Immediately outside was a bright yellow sign indicating the bathroom was closed. Taber came in, Burlew said, and tried to enter a stall. Ms. Williams told him he couldn't use the bathroom and gave him directions to other bathrooms. Taber - who still hadn't identified himself as a police officer - tried to sit down in the stall. Ms. Williams' version of the story, Burlew said, details how she got on her two-way radio to ask for assistance from a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy and went into the courtroom of Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas Crush to ask for help. Taber then started to leave, so Ms. Williams followed him. When a deputy arrived, Taber still wouldn't give his name, merely opening his jacket to reveal a badge and gun. Taber, though, says in his affidavit and other police documents he filed that day that he arrested Ms. Williams after she created ''alarm'' in the bathroom. She ''engaged in violent behavior, challenging PS Taber under which circumstances such conduct was likely to provoke a violent response,'' Taber wrote. She followed Taber, still unaware that he was a police officer, to the second-floor security center. Taber asked one of the deputies for handcuffs and arrested Ms. Williams. She was held for an hour and 15 minutes, Burlew said, as the charges were being processed. She faces up to 30 days in jail for the fourth-degree misdemeanor when her case comes to court Sept. 7.

I think its rather inapropiate to compare the results of capitalist privatization in Bulgaria to the Nazi holocaust. The holocaust was a consciously planned, complete and bureaucratically exectuted extermination of whole peoples. I do not think one needs much intellectual capacities to understand, that its something different than what is happening in Bulgaria today. Its obvious that such a comparision belittles the holocaust. At the same time it does not help the resistance againts the reintroduction of private capitalism in Eastern Europe, because such comparisions have the effect that the rest of the article can easily be dismissed as wrong as well.

[CTRL] SHIRAZ ON THE POTOMAC
ON THE POTOMAC Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 15:32:18 +0200 SHIRAZ ON THE POTOMAC The Trial of the Shiraz Jews and The Pollard Case Jewish Press (NY)- Sept 1 2000 by Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein [Note: The characters in this story are fictional. All the facts cited about the Pollard case are true.] [Truncateds Extract only: for full article contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] Ali Mostophi, second officer at the Permanent Mission to the United Nations of the Islamic Republic of Iran smiled to himself when he saw Jack Ferguson approaching. As often as protocol and the rule book allowed, the young American, a junior officer in the diplomatic corps, sought out Mostophi at the 13th floor lounge at the UN. Ferguson enjoyed prying off-the-record observations and analysis from him. Nothing earth-shattering, but it made Mostophi feel like a bit of a mentor to someone, and it had been a long while since young people in the full bloom of their idealism looked up to him. Anticipating their usually friendly banter, Mostophi was taken aback by the edge in Ferguson's voice. "You know that I've never swallowed the conventional line that paints Iranians in shades of black. But after this Shiraz fiasco, how can any educated person see your people as anything but primitive fanatics?" The news headlines that morning had announced the sentencing of 10 Iranian Jews charged with spying for Israel. Mostophi understood. "You are troubled, no doubt, over the sentences of the Shiraz Jews. Do you want to vent, or do you want to learn something?" "Learn? What's to learn? You violated every rule sacred to modern judicial systems!" Unruffled by the young man's sharp tone, Mostophi offered, "Stop right there, let me finish for you. I will tell you exactly what you find ugly and offensive. You were about to tell me, of course, that the Shiraz Jews were convicted without benefit of effective counsel. You want to moralize about how there was no jury, only a judge who had reason to be, shall we say, 'biased.' And of course you will certainly point out that the Shiraz Jews were convicted on the basis of evidence that was never shown to them. Correct, so far?" The wind taken out of his sails, Ferguson said only, "Yes, but you've left out the most upsetting element of all." "That," said Mostophi, "would be the anti-Semitic thrust of the whole episode. When you hear that a government would fan the flames of prejudice against the world's favorite scapegoat, you are reminded of Czarist Russia, right?" "Precisely," countered Ferguson, although with a bit of hesitation about what was to follow. Mostophi spoke quietly and confidently. "First let me assure you that your whole premise is incorrect. The trial has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Ferguson sensed that something important was coming. "So why the show-trial?" Mostophi settled back into his chair. "Nothing against the Jews per se. They do, however, serve a useful function." "A useful function?" Mostophi nodded. "Our country is on the verge of some relaxing of restrictions, the first in many years. People get drunk with a little freedom. Remember how quickly the Soviet Union crumbled once people sensed that their freedom was increasing? We aren't ready for that. We needed to broadcast a message that we are still prepared to rein people in, if they gallop too quickly." Ferguson frowned. Mostophi explained, "Of course," said Mostophi firmly. "The trial of the Jews effectively sent a message aimed more at the rest of our people than the Jews." "So you really don't hate the Jews. You are just prepared to sacrifice a few of them to make a point." Mostophi sighed, "And you, my dear Ferguson, have missed the entire point." He let Ferguson stew for a moment, "It is natural for governments to take cues from others, to see how far they can go in pushing their own interests." "What are you getting at?" Ferguson prodded. "Do you recall what Hitler told his generals before invading Poland? He said, 'Go, kill without mercy . . . who today remembers the annihilation of the Armenians?' " "So?" "What one nation does is a trial balloon for the plans of the next. In other words, if the United States, the supposed world paragon of judicial virtue can callously deny the rights of one person to suit its own needs, then some of the rest of us can go a good deal further." "Just what are you driving at?" "I should think that you would have caught on by now," Mostophi said. He leaned towards Ferguson and pointed an accusing finger, "You Americans led the way with your famous Pollard case." "But Pollard was guilty! And your defendants are innocent!" "Guilty of what?" Mostophi shot back., "Of spying for a friendly country? Yes, to be sure! But see how his treatment has been disproportionately severe, relative to

From the Wall St Journal: Joe Lieberman, Radical Historian By Ira Stoll. Mr. Stoll is editor of Smartertimes.com, North American editor of the Jerusalem Post and a contributor to OpinionJournal.com. So you thought Al Gore's book "Earth in the Balance" was flaky? Check out his running mate Joseph Lieberman's little-noticed 1970 volume on arms control and the origins of the Cold War, "The Scorpion and the Tarantula." It's a masterpiece of moral equivalency in which Mr. Lieberman draws a parallel between Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and the American Monroe Doctrine of maintaining influence in the Western hemisphere. The book's title comes from a quote from Cold War historian Louis Halle, who contended that the Cold War "is not fundamentally a case of the wicked against the virtuous. Fundamentally, it is like the case of the scorpion and the tarantula in the bottle, and we may properly feel sorry for both parties, caught as they are, in a situation of irreducible dilemma." In the preface to his 1970 book, Mr. Lieberman wrote that "this is the spirit in which I have recorded what my research has revealed." The only problem is that, as most Americans have by now realized-and as those stuck behind the Iron Curtain at the time knew all too well-the Cold War was a case of the wicked against the virtuous. The Soviets were the wicked ones, depriving the Russian people and those in their puppet states of freedom of the press, of religion, of emigration. Mr. Lieberman interpreted the communist talk of international domination as mere bluster, and he wrote that Americans should have known better than to take it seriously: "One of the primary causes of the failure to achieve international atomic control and the concurrent failure to prevent the cold war was the inability of America's statesmen and people to see through the avalanche of Communist rhetoric and deal with Soviet foreign policy as something shaped by Russia's unique history and guided by the Russians' conception of their national interest. In this more accurate light, Russia's goals are seen to be more limited and less in conflict with America's." When it came to American activity in Latin America, Mr. Lieberman sounded like a campus radical, or at least George McGovern. "Consistency was not one of the characteristics that marked America's side of the argument over the fate of Eastern Europe," he wrote. "While protesting the creation of a Soviet sphere of influence in Eastern Europe on the theory that it would constitute a return to the evil days of international power politics that has caused two world wars, the United States nevertheless zealously protected its own sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere. From the earliest enunciation of the Monroe Doctrine right down to the twentieth century, America has proved itself willing to resort to arms to keep anti-American governments out of power in Latin America." Has Mr. Lieberman reassessed his views, or does he still see the Cold War as a battle between a scorpion and a tarantula, a war that America shared equal guilt for starting and in which American calls for democracy and Soviet talk of world domination were each merely rhetoric? After I inquired about the matter, the senator issued a statement that distanced himself from the book without totally disavowing it. "Few of us view the world through the same lenses in our 50s as we did in our 20s," the senator said. "The Scorpion and the Tarantula was written more than 30 years ago and certainly does not reflect my thinking about foreign policy or our national security today. As the Cold War progressed, and the actions by the Soviet Union to subjugate the people of Eastern Europe intensified and the Soviet military build-up increasingly threatened the United States and the free world, I became a strong advocate of military readiness and of using our military power when necessary to oppose any such tyranny. My voting record since I have been in the Senate much more accurately reflects my positions than does this 30-year-old book." Mr. Lieberman's statement is somewhat reassuring. But rather than admitting he was wrong at the time he wrote the book, he tries to explain it by suggesting that the Soviets somehow worsened their behavior after 1970. In fact, the crushing of the Prague Spring, the construction of the Berlin Wall and Stalin's forced collectivization campaign all happened before Mr. Lieberman wrote his book. The Soviet Union threatened the free world from the very inception of that totalitarian state in a coup by a group of Bolshevik thugs, not as a result of some post-1970 increase in aggressiveness imagined by Mr. Lieberman. The Cold War is over, and there are other issues to vote on in November. But there are still plenty of scorpions and tarantulas out there on the international scene. And when it comes time to deal with them, you get the sense that the

In Ijeshatedo district in central Surulere part of Lagos, has been experiencing several hours of electricity supply disruption since Monday after Clinton ended his two-day state visit to Nigeria, residents said. In Anthony village in northern residential district of Ikeja, power supply was disrupted on Tuesday for more than six hours, they said. The same story is replicated in Mushin, Agege, Iyana Ipaja, Yaba, Ebute Meta and posh residential and commercial districts of Ikoyi and Victoria Island, they added. A spokesman of the state-run electricity company (NEPA), Inuwa Garba, denied that the improvement in power supply recorded last week was because of President Clinton's visit. He attributed the improvement to the installation of new equipment and maintainance of old ones. "It is sheer coincidence that power shortages are being experienced shortly after Clinton left The current problem is technical and we are trying to rectify it," said another spokesman who demanded anonymity. NEPA officials said on Friday that power supply in the country was boosted last week by more than 300 percent ahead of US President's visit to the country. Power distribution shot up from 600 megawatts to 2,000 megawatts, a spokesman of the company, Inuwa Garba, had told AFP by telephone. "That is the way we are in this country. We are fond of eye service and white-washing. Because a big man, an international figure is visiting Nigeria, all of a sudden, NEPA workers have woken up to their responsibility," Segun Adepoju, a trader had said on Friday. "I have always said that the problem of NEPA is more of a human factor that technical. Let us see what happens at the end of Clinton's visit," Emmanuel Chiejina, a sociologist also said. Power supplies, which improved tremendously when Nigeria co-hosted with Ghana this year's African Cup of Nations, slumped again immediately after. The company is notorious for its inefficiency though and its critics have derisively turned its acronymn to "Never Expect Power Always." The new civilian government of President Olusegun Obasanjo has pledged to boost NEPA's generating and distributing capacity and then break up and sell off the company.

Peter Brimelow here: I've just posted, at http://www.vdare.com/buckley.htm , a report on William F. Buckley's recent admission he's abandoned National Review's historic position that maintaining ethnic balance is a legitimate concern of immigration policy. This is interesting to me because it partly explains why I was purged as a Senior Editor in 1998; and to h-bders because it illustrates the extraordinary pressures currently brought to bear on weak and fashion-conscious journalists to avoid race-related issues. (Not that immigration is purely a race-related issue). I am now inclined to agree with Dan Seligman that the publication of The Bell Curve was, in the short run at least, devastating to debate. (Not that there was any alternative.) The VDARE report links to a remarkable article by James Lubsinkas in Jared Taylor's American Renaissance analyzing National Review's changing positions on race over more than four decades. I know there's a concerted effort to place Taylor beyond the pale - Steve won't allow him on hbd in case some of you get upset - but my position is that truth is an absolute defense.

[CTRL] 'Useful idiots'
Thomas Sowell August 31, 2000 'Useful idiots' Lenin is supposed to have referred to blind defenders and apologists for the Soviet Union in the Western democracies as "useful idiots." Yet even Lenin might have been surprised at how far these useful idiots would carry their partisanship in later years -- including our own times. Stalin's man-made famine in the Soviet Union during the 1930s killed more millions of people than Hitler killed in the Holocaust -- and Mao's man-made famine in China killed more millions than died in the USSR. Yet we not only hear little or nothing about either of these staggering catastrophes in the Communist world today, very little was said about them in the Western democracies while they were going on. Indeed, many useful idiots denied that there were famines in the Soviet Union or in Communist China. The most famous of these was the New York Times' Moscow correspondent, Walter Duranty, who won a Pulitzer prize for telling people what they wanted to hear, rather than what was actually happening. Duranty assured his readers that "there is no famine or actual starvation, nor is there likely to be." Moreover, he blamed reports to the contrary on "rumor factories" with anti-Soviet bias. It was decades later before the first serious scholarly study of that famine was written, by Robert Conquest of the Hoover Institution, always identified in politically correct circles as "right-wing." Yet when the Soviets' own statistics on the deaths during the famine were finally released, under Mikhail Gorbachev, they showed that the actual deaths exceeded even the millions estimated by Dr. Conquest. Official statistics on the famine deaths in China under Mao have never been released, but knowledgeable estimates run upwards of 20 million people. Yet, even here, there were the same bland denials by sympathizers and fellow travellers in the West as during the earlier Soviet famine. One celebrated "expert" on China wrote: "I saw no starving people in China, nothing that looked like old-time famines." Horrifying as the pre-Communist famines were, they never killed as many people as Mao's famine did. Today, even after the evidence of massive man-made famines in the Communist world, after Solzhenitsyn's revelations about the gulags and after the horrors of the killing fields of Cambodia, the useful idiots continue to deny or downplay staggering human tragedies under Communist dictatorships. Or else they engage in moral equivalence, as Newsweek editor and TV pundit Eleanor Clift did during the Elian Gonzalez controversy, when she said: "To be a poor child in Cuba may in many instances be better than being a poor child in Miami and I'm not going to condemn their lifestyle so gratuitously." Apparently totalitarian dictatorship is just a lifestyle, like wearing sandals and beads and using herbal medicine. It apparently has not occurred to Eleanor Clift to ask why poor people in Miami do not put themselves and their children on flimsy boats, in a desperate effort to reach Cuba. Elian Gonzalez and his mother were only the latest of millions of people to flee Communist dictatorships at the risk of their lives. Some were shot trying to get past the Berlin wall and hundreds of thousands of "boat people" were drowned trying to escape a Communist Vietnam that many useful idiots were celebrating from inside free democracies. Many who escaped from the Soviet Union to the West during the Second World War were sent back by American authorities, except for those who committed suicide rather than go back. Yet none of this has really registered on a very large segment of the intelligentsia in the West. Nor are Western capitalists

Dr Yvette Cloete, 30, who works at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport, South Wales, woke to find the word "paedo" daubed on her home. She said: "It is just unbelievable. It's terrible that people think they have the right to vandalise your property like this." The South African-born doctor added: "I am shocked because this is a quiet village and there are a lot of nice families living here. It looks as if this was done through total ignorance. It looks as though it was just a question of confusing the job title for something else." Dr Cloete, who has moved in with friends, intends to sell her home in St Brides, near Newport, where she lived with her brother Andre, 24. The yellow Graffiti was has been cleaned from the front door, porch and windows. Dr Cloete said: "Nobody knows where I live now. I have learned one lesson and that is I will be ex-directory in future." Rosemary Butler, the Welsh Assembly member for Newport West, described the attack as appalling. It appeared to be carried out through "sheer hysteria, bravado and ignorance".

[CTRL] In Plain English (Not German): It Ain't Necessarily So
In Plain English (Not German): It Ain't Necessarily So Washington Post By Robert Cullen Saturday, August 26, 2000; Page A17 Graham Greene once wrote about an elderly and somewhat whimsical priest named Monsignor Quixote. A central theme of the novel, which takes place in Spain in the early 1980s, is that Don Quixote--the famed adventurer who battled windmills--is the priest's ancestor. Almost everyone in the story seems to accept this genealogy at face value, except one skeptic who openly questions how somebody could be descended from a fictional character. I felt similarly bewildered while watching the Rev. Jesse Jackson address the Democratic National Convention. With characteristic vigor and passion, Jackson asserted, "One vote decided that America would speak English rather than German in 1776." That statement, part of Jackson's litany of how one vote can make a difference, refers to a U.S. history lesson about something familiar, interesting and attention-getting. It also never happened, although Jackson is far from being the only person to believe it did. We have all come across such tidbits--those persistent historical myths or inventions masquerading as facts. National party conventions are especially fertile ground for them. Eight years ago, for example, at the Republican convention at which President George Bush was renominated, his predecessor Ronald Reagan took to the podium and quoted a series of one-liners that he attributed to Abraham Lincoln. The problem was that the platitudes credited to our 16th president actually appeared first in a 1916 pamphlet printed by a Pennsylvania preacher named William J. H. Boetcker. The incident that inspired the myth about our almost becoming a German-speaking nation occurred not in 1776 but two decades later, during George Washington's second term as president. More important, there was neither a vote nor even a bill to replace English with German as the official U.S. language. Here's the real story. In March 1794, a group of Germans living in Virginia presented a petition to Congress asking that certain federal laws be printed in their native language. A committee of the House of Representatives responded by formally recommending that 3,000 sets of laws be printed in both German and English and distributed to the states. The full House debated this recommendation on Jan. 13, 1795. Unable to reach a decision, the members instead considered a motion to adjourn that day and revisit the proposal later. It was this that was defeated by one vote, 42 to 41. The House, which that day named a new committee to further study the proposal, debated it again on Feb. 16. This time it decided to approve the publication of federal statutes in English only. The Senate subsequently passed this bill as well, and George Washington signed it into law. So what was merely a limited translation request has mushroomed into today's tale that German was an also-ran in our national sweepstakes for an official language (never mind that not even English has that status). More than a half-century after congressional actions on this matter, Franz Loher published "History and Achievements of the Germans in America," which did much to perpetuate the myth of the German-language vote. In due time, other German Americans likewise promoted the story as an example of their influence in the republic's early days. The myth has since taken on other identities, from a tidy lesson about the importance of a single vote to yet another argument against bilingual education. Jackson is only the latest in a long and distinguished line of individuals who have unwittingly helped extend its already-long shelf-life. Others who have done so include Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren, "Ripley's Believe It or Not," well-intentioned teachers and various political activists. Thanks to the Internet, the myth now has new opportunities to circulate farther and faster than ever before. More than a few Web sites feature it without qualification. To be sure, some sites at least acknowledge that the myth might be folklore and still others debunk it. But I worry about the ones that discuss the myth uncritically and as an article of our civic faith. They guarantee new converts well into the 21st century. There are those who would insist that myths such as this one are harmless tales that encourage and instruct. I think a stronger case can be made that such figments of our national imagination only manage to diminish and even trivialize how we remember and understand our shared past. All things considered, we're probably a lot better off focusing more on what actually happened and less on the historical mirages along the way. Robert Cullen is a Baltimore writer. A

Jenny Decker - Original Message - From: "MICHAEL SPITZER" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 11:51 PM Subject: [CTRL] Chicken Little Awards From: http://www.anxietycenter.com/10th-chickenlittle.htm 10TH ANNUAL CHICKEN LITTLE AWARDS CENTER NAMES TEN TOP SCARE CAMPAIGNS THREATENING HUMAN HEALTH AND PROGRESS "Just about everything Americans and others around the world have been told in the past two decades about the climate, energy reserves, chemicals, and an endless list of bogus threats to their well being has been proven to be false," says Alan Caruba, founder of The National Anxiety Center, a think tank headquartered in Maplewood, N.J. The tenth annual Chicken Little Awards are devoted to identifying "the worst lies that have been foisted on Americans and others in order to destroy the astonishing progress mankind has made to improve everyoneís life." Founded In 1990 by the veteran science and business writer, the Center created "The Chicken Little Awards" to focus attention on the efforts of individuals and organizations "to scare the daylights out of millions of people for the purpose of influencing public policy." "What is continually ignored is the fact that Americans and others in developed nations around the world are living longer, generally healthier lives, than ever before in history," said Caruba. "What is ignored is a full-fledged assault on the very means to sustain our success, the ability to utilize the earthís resources and to maintain high standards of health, the provision of sufficient food for the worldís population, and the preservation of independent nations, free to determine their future." The Banning of DDT is first on the list of the Centerís Chicken Little Awards, largely due to the alarmist, false writings of Rachel Carson. "The sole purpose of the environmental movement is to reduce the earthís population, despite the fact the earth is over five billion years old," said Caruba. "When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT in 1972, it ignored the fact that DDT had prevented the death of 500 million people since its first widespread use in 1943. Since then, millions have needlessly died or had their lives impaired by Malaria, a disease on the rise. Plans to eliminate other pesticides worldwide are moving forward. This is nothing less than planned genocide." Global Warming is second on the list. "In the 1970ís environmentalists were warning that a new Ice Age was coming. When that scare campaign failed, they turned to global warming, but to date there is no evidence of a dramatic warming trend to support this claim. More than 18,000 scientists worldwide have spoken out against this Big Lie intended to force industrialized nations to reduce their energy use." Genetically Modified Crops is third on the list. "With a population estimated to be six billion, the earth needs this remarkable means to grow more food on less land, with less dependence on the chemicals used to ward off insect pests and adverse climate conditions. This, however, has not deterred leading environmental organizations from launching a huge scare campaign to needlessly frighten people." Food Scares are fourth on the Centerís list. "The food police have warned against irradiation that kills deadly food poisoning pathogens, as well as the diet of huge portions of the worldís population, including the natural inclination of humans to include meat in their diets," said Caruba. "The worst perpetrators of these lies are the members of the animal rights movement who are engaged in a worldwide program of terrorism." The Timber Lies, fifth on the Centerís list, have been a sustained program in the U.S. where two-thirds of the forests that existed when the Pilgrims arrived are still thriving. "The lies that the Spotted Owl was endangered shut down 187 mills in the northwest and wiped out 22,654 jobs. The U.S. is now importing lumber when it is home to vast forestlands that have been put off limits to any use by Americans, whether as timber resources or for

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug. 31, 2000 A Deeper Look Dope Money IV For over a year, in writing, I have continued to point out the role of U.S. banks in the laundering of dirty drug money proceeds. We have continued to show how the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Justice Department have caught major U.S. banks in the act of money laundering and yet have not stripped a single one of these banks of their charters or right to do business. Now we learn from the Washington Post of how U.S. banks and corporations are playing a leading role in the laundering of drug money into and out of Columbia. Yet and still all we here about is how Columbia must do more to stop the drug trade. There is no way that the amount of money that is being brought in and out of Columbia and laundered through U.S. banks could flow without the knowledge and even cooperation of bank officials. Yet, the U.S. government does nothing, even when they catch a bank in the act. Like in the case of Raul Salinas and Citibank. Instead, the bank, now known as Citigroup, after it is under review for money laundering violations, attracts the former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to help run its daily bank operations. Talk about a conflict of interest - a bank under investigation by the U.S. government for money laundering violations, hires the former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, less than 1 year after he leaves office. Here is the Washington Post article that details the latest episode in the government's phony "War on Drugs". Notice how, in the story, the identities of the banks in question are protected. Oh no, to Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey the war on drugs includes only local crack dealers and foreign countries, never U.S. banks that do more to facilitate the world wide drug trade than any drug kingpin. Please read the article in its entirety, soon, I will devote A Deeper Look to the drug war charade and how both the Justice and Treasury Departments are protecting multinational banks. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33198-2000Aug27.html == SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station http://mprofaca.cro.net/mainmenu.html == *** NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

In New Jersey, 7-Eleven claimed not to have a restroom. At the next place we stopped, he claimed the restrooms were for employee use only. Finally we found a grocery store, but by then he was nearly drunk with urine overflow. It finally got so bad just finding a place to go that we started pulling into parking lots and he'd simply relieve himself in a dark corner.

[CTRL] Lawsuit Challenges Clinton's National Monument Legacy
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Lawsuit Challenges Clinton's National Monument Legacy Thursday, August 31, 2000 By MICHAEL DOYLE WASHINGTON -- President Clinton's legacy of creating sprawling new national monuments, like the one in California's Sequoia National Forest, is now being challenged on constitutional grounds. Opponents of the new monuments are suing Clinton in federal court in Washington for what they say is his unconstitutionally ambitious use of the 1906 Antiquities Act. Clinton has used the law this year to create the 328,000-acre Giant Sequoia National Monument, the 195,000-acre Hanford Reach National Monument in Washington and others. "The Antiquities Act was written for antiquities," William Perry Pendley, president of the Denver-based Mountain States Legal Foundation, said Thursday. "It was not written to set aside vast expanses of territory because it's pretty or has old trees." A conservative group that's historically received funding from companies including Texaco, Exxon, Chevron and the Coors Foundation, the Mountain States Legal Foundation has previously challenged other monument designations by Clinton. All told, Clinton has used the unilateral powers provided by the 1906 law to designate 3.7 million acres as national monuments. With about five months left in his presidency, this is more than any of his predecessors except President Jimmy Carter. "All of them are worthy of protection," Council on Environmental Quality spokeswoman Mary Hanley said Thursday, adding that "we certainly don't agree" with the thrust of the newly filed suit. The lawsuit specifically targets the Hanford monument and three others established this year in Arizona, Oregon and Colorado. The Giant Sequoia monument established in April is not included in the lawsuit, but San Joaquin Valley opponents of the new monument are closely tracking the latest legal arguments. "We're going to see how that flies," said Fresno resident Tom Barile, chairman of a coalition that's fought the Giant Sequoia monument. "If it doesn't work, then we'll try something else." Barile's group, the Sierra Nevada Access, Multiple-Use and Stewardship Coalition, now claims about 82 organizations as members. Barile said the group's possible own legal challenge to the Giant Sequoia monument might develop over the next several months, based on grounds similar to those included in the new lawsuit. Barile said he is also still waiting for government agencies to respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents related to the Giant Sequoia monument. The Council on Environmental Quality has likewise not yet provided documents in response to a FOIA request filed by the Bee last March. So far, no legal challenge - or, for the most part, legislative challenge - has succeeded against the 100-plus national monuments created under the 1906 law. The simply worded law authorizes presidents, acting without congressional approval, to protect "objects of historic or scientific interest" by designating national monuments "which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with ... proper care and management of the objects to be protected." The Mountain States Legal Foundation contends Clinton exceeded his constitutional authority by going far beyond this "smallest area" language in creating large monuments. The core legal question is: When Congress uses such vague words, where does the president's discretion end? A 1920 Supreme Court decision involving the Grand Canyon has persuaded officials since that the president enjoys great leeway in determining a monument's size. Pendley, though, contends Congress has subsequently clarified that a president's environmental actions including Antiquities Act declarations must be more tightly constrained. © 2000 Scripps-McClatchy Western Service *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] Buchanan Wins Ballot Battle in California
WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Buchanan Wins Ballot Battle in California Thursday, August 31, 2000 By DAN SMITH SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- After weeks of intra-party turmoil that has threatened to tear apart the already fractured Reform Party, Patrick J. Buchanan was named the party's official presidential nominee in California Thursday and will appear on state ballots, Secretary of State Bill Jones announced. Jones acted on the last day for state party organizations to submit names to him to meet ballot printing deadlines for the Nov. 7 general election. He also acted after Buchanan forces threatened a lawsuit, although a Jones spokesman said that had no bearing on his decision. Backers of rival Reform Party candidate John Hagelin were outraged and said they may seek court action to overturn Jones' decision, which they said he lacked the legal authority to make. "It seems clear to me that either the Secretary of State has been threatened with a lawsuit or is looking for an easy way out or he does not care about the election process, which is a horrible thought," said John H. Place, vice chairman of the Reform Party of California. Buchanan campaign spokesman K.B. Forbes said the campaign's legal team prevailed on Jones. "Agreement was reached," Forbes said. "It shows that the merits of our case are credible." Jones' decision is a huge boost to Buchanan, who claimed the national party nomination after a raucous convention in Long Beach last month. Hagelin supporters, made up of many of the original backers of Reform Party founder H. Ross Perot, walked out of the convention in protest over what they viewed as a hijacking of the fledgling party by Buchanan, a former Republican. They held their own meeting at which they nominated Hagelin as the party standard bearer. Since then, the factions have joined the battle over which candidate is entitled to $12.6 million in federal campaign funds, and have fought state-by-state over who will be listed on the ballot. Election officials in Iowa and Montana held drawings to determine which name would be on the ballot. Buchanan won in Iowa. Hagelin prevailed in Montana, but a judge overturned that decision Thursday. Federal Election Commission officials have yet to decide which candidate will get the money. In California, Jones' decision to place Buchanan on the ballot was based on his office's "long-standing policy" of taking direction on such matters from the state party's chairman. In this case, California Reform Party chairman Raymond O. Mills submitted Buchanan's name on Aug. 15, just two days after the party's national convention had concluded. But Jones rescinded the name eight days later, after the state party's 13-member board of directors voted 7-6 to overturn Mills' decision and prohibit him from submitting a nominee's name without board approval. Jones spokesman Alfie Charles said the secretary of state only rescinded Buchanan because Mills, the party chairman, "told us it was the will of the party to rescind the name." The party infighting continued through Wednesday night, when Mills and other Buchanan supporters boycotted a conference call to hash out the issue, and Mills submitted another letter to Jones naming Buchanan the party's official nominee. Jones accepted the submission based on Mills standing as party chairman and turned it over to county officials for ballot printing. Charles acknowledged the Buchanan campaign was set to challenge Jones in court, but said Jones' decision was based on the office policy of following the direction of the state party chairman. Place charged that Jones abused his discretion by not following the will of a majority of state Reform Party board members. He said the board "will have to regroup now," but will likely consider legal action. But Charles said Jones was only acting by the book. "The secretary of state clearly stated the policy of this office and is not going to get into an analysis of intra-party disputes," Charles said. "The state needs the parties to conduct themselves in a way that will allow us to meet the deadlines in the election code." © 2000 Scripps-McClatchy Western Service *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.

[CTRL] WND: NSC e-mail also missing Letter 'D' anomaly
From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_sperry_news/2901_xnspy_nsc_email_.s html NSC e-mail also missing Letter 'D' anomaly, other 'glitches' scuttled records on issues like China By Paul Sperry © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON -- Computer contractor Yiman F. Salim must have felt like a plumber. The White House e-mail-archiving system had sprung yet another leak, and Salim was called in again to help fix it. It was April 1999, and she'd found a new problem with the Automated Records Management System put together by the Clinton-Gore team to store and search electronic messages, as required by a 1994 law. This time, ARMS was rejecting all in-coming e-mail sent to White House users whose first name starts with the letter "D." The "bleeding" started in November 1998 -- the same month, curiously enough, that a more than two-year gap in records for e-mail sent to the White House server used by President Clinton and his staff had ended. Some 500 users were affected. So just as Salim and other Northrop Grumman technicians had fixed one leak, another one started (though the letter "D" leak sprung across all five main White House e-mail servers). Congress, a federal court and the independent counsel have demanded the White House search for the missing e-mail from Clinton's server and turn it over to them as part of their outstanding subpoenas in various scandal investigations. Of the estimated million e-mails missing, some are said to involve the Jones-Lewinsky case, Filegate and 1996 Clinton-Gore fund-raising. Meanwhile, scarce attention has been paid to all the letter "D" e-mails that escaped White House archives from November 1998 to June 1999. But they may carry national security significance. Internal White House documents recently obtained under subpoena by Congress show that the letter "D" problem affected 10 times more White House users working at the National Security Council than did the previous archiving problem. ARMS failed to capture e-mail sent to just two NSC staffers from August 1996 to November 1998. But from November 1998 to June 1999 -- a tense period for the White House, which covered the run-up to the May 1999 release of the Cox report on Chinese espionage -- ARMS rejected incoming messages to 21 National Security Council staffers. One of them is David Halperin, then a director of foreign-policy speechwriting at NSC. His father, Morton Halperin, works at the State Department. He became director of State policy planning in 1998. A long-time China booster, the senior Halperin urged in the '60s that the U.S. extend diplomatic recognition to Red China and work for its admission into the United Nations. In the '70s, he traveled with pro-China lobbyist Henry Kissinger to then-Peking as an NSC staffer before heading the Center for National Security Studies, a spin-off of the pro-Marxist think tank Institute for Policy Studies. CNSS also is aligned with the National Lawyers Guild, which was formed with the aid of Comintern, or Communist International. A recent book has linked Halperin to the KGB. And a former State expert on the former Soviet Union told WorldNetDaily recently that Halperin showed up on U.S. embassy briefing cards during the height of the Cold War as a "communist agent." Halperin, a Clinton appointee, has worked tirelessly for banning U.S. nuclear weapons, as well as any U.S. spying on groups suspected of un-American activities. Fifteen State laptops containing highly classified intelligence information have gone missing recently. One of them was checked out to Halperin's office. Two officials have been punished, but not Halperin. It's not clear if the Halperins exchanged e-mails in late 1998 or early 1999. During that time, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and others on his team were locked in fierce negotiations with the bipartisan Cox Commission over how much of the explosive findings to declassify. Berger, a former China lobbyist who argued for censoring most of the report, managed to redact about a third of it. Berger spokesman David Leavy's e-mails also are missing for that period. Adding to suspicions is the White House's recent admission, overlooked by the press, that still another computer "glitch" -- only recently discovered -- knocked a two-year hole in all National Security Council e-mail records over a period covering the full length of the Cox investigation, which was launched in early 1998 to look into Clinton approving rocket technology transfers to China. The gap, as revealed in U.S. court testimony by lawyers for the White House, stretches from June 1997 to August 1999 -- a period that also covers the Thompson committee's Chinagate fund-raising hearings, which began in early July 1997, as well as the belated FBI investigation of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee, now on trial for mishandling nuclear secrets. The gaps mean there is no searchable computer record of any messages sent during that time to the National Security

WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! 001340. Reserve C-130s airlift support to peacekeepers RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFPN) -- Peacekeepers in the Balkans rely on Air Force C-130 aircraft to get replacements, equipment and supplies. Most of these missions are flown on a rotational basis by units temporarily assigned to the 38th Airlift Squadron (Provisional), better known as Delta Operations. Air Force Reserve Command units began picking up the missions in early August as part of the command's role in Aerospace Expeditionary Force 8. "The support of Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard C-130 units is crucial to provide the airlift required to support peacekeeping efforts in the Balkans," said Col. Ray Phillips, commander of Ramstein's 86th Operations Group, which oversees Delta Operations. "It continues to impress me that reservists from two or three different units can leave their civilian jobs, come over and seamlessly carry on the daily flying schedule from Delta Ops." During the first two weeks of the Aug. 2 to Sept. 7 deployment, the Reserve's 302nd Airlift Wing, Peterson AFB, Colo., sent four aircraft and eight aircrews, plus support personnel, to Ramstein. The 934th AW, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Air Reserve Station, and the 913th AW, Willow Grove ARS, Pa., each provided an aircraft, two crews, aircraft maintainers and other support people. The 934th AW and the 913th AW kept their aircraft in place, and each rotated in two new crews plus support people. The 440th AW, Gen. Mitchell IAP ARS, Wis., which was responsible for managing the Reserve's month-long AEF deployment, sent four crews, more support people and two aircraft. The 908th AW, Maxwell AFB, Ala., also deployed four crews, support personnel and two C-130s. The 317th Airlift Group, an active-duty unit from Dyess AFB, Texas, augmented the Reserve's rotation with four crews and two aircraft. While deployed, the reservists and Dyess airmen provided airlift support for Operations Joint Guard and Joint Forge, as well as channel missions within the European theater. As of Aug. 28, they had flown 155 sorties, transporting some 4,000 passengers and more than 740 tons of cargo. "Our support of Joint Guard and Joint Forge operations demonstrates the Total Force in action," said Lt. Col. Walter Koelln, 38th AS commander and chief of current operations for the 440th AW's 95th AS. "Since the Reserve and Guard have a significant portion of the tactical airlift capability, it makes sense for us to supplement the active duty where we can. As long as the active duty allows us the flexibility to determine how we meet the requirement, we'll find a way to get the job done." The Reserve provides 23 percent of the Air Force's C-130 airlift capability. "We are full partners in the Total Force," Koelln continued, "but we also have to respect the needs of our reservists' civilian employers and our families. Many of our people make sacrifices to be here...but they volunteer none the less because they like to serve their country and work with people who share their dedication." "We've been doing this mission since 1996," said Capt. Pete Garland, a 908th AW pilot. "This is the fourth time I've been over to support this operation, so it has become pretty routine." Garland said the biggest challenge was learning to operate within the European air traffic control system. Operators and maintainers faced an additional challenge: three different models of the C-130 - E, H1 and H2. Crews and maintainers are certified to work on a particular model. For example, if a C-130E aircraft was scheduled to fly and it broke, a different crew would have to be called in to fly the H1 or H2 model spare aircraft. Calling in the standby crew often affects the next day's schedule if the crew doesn't return before entering the crew rest period for the following day's flight. Phillips said the experience level of both operators and maintainers helped them deal with those kinds of challenges. "Many of the pilots have over 3,000 hours in the C-130 plus several thousand hours flying with the airlines," he said.

Don't forget to register to vote RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- Officials here at the Air Force Personnel Center want to remind Air Force members that Armed Forces Voters Week is Sunday through Sept. 9 and emphasize the importance of registering and requesting absentee ballots. "The 2000 general election date is closing in, so voters need to remember to register and request absentee ballots," said TSgt. Sophia Barnard, Air Force voting program project officer. "Voters can register and request absentee ballots by filling out a Standard Form 76, Federal Post Card Application. There are now 42 states that accept the on-line version of the FPCA, so check out the Federal Voting Assistance Program web site at http://www.fvap.ncr.gov to see if your state is one of them." Deadlines and other state specific rules on voter registration are published in the Federal Voting Assistance Guide which is available from installation voting officers or on the FVAP web site. "Every installation has an installation voting officer who can assist airmen and their family members," Barnard said. "Base telephone operators can refer members to their installation voting officer, who will have a supply of Federal Post Card Registration and Absentee Ballot Request cards as well as the voting guides to assist in filling out and mailing them. If members don't receive their ballots 30-45 days before the election, they can contact their local election officials or installation voting officers for assitance." For more information, Air Force members may contact their installation voting officer or contact the USAF voting action office at DSN 665-2563 or 1-800-558-1404.

Air Force 'hams' invited to anniversary party WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Amateur radio operators, or "hams," from around the globe will celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Air Force with a worldwide radio "QSO party" on Sept. 16. The party is set for 12:01 a.m. Sept. 16 to 11:59 p.m. Sept. 17 Universal Coordinated Time. QSO is ham radio shorthand for "radio contact." Hams are licensed by their governments to develop radio skills, improve radio science, provide disaster and public service communications, and build international goodwill. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has issued such licenses to more than 700,000 people. Hundreds of thousands of citizens of other nations are similarly licensed by their governments. The QSO party was started in 1997 as a one-time celebration of the Air Force 50th anniversary, but has become an annual event at the request of hundreds of its participants from around the world, including many Air Force members and retirees. Through it, hams gather on the airwaves to renew old Air Force acquaintances as they exchange radio greetings. The event is sponsored by the Air Force Directorate of Communications and Information, and managed by the Razorback Radio Club. Its trustee, Brig. Gen. Bernie Skoch (amateur radio call sign K5XS), is the principal director for network services at the Defense Information systems Agency in Arlington, Virginia. Hams have a historical practice of using the Morse code to communicate. They couple this practice with modern communication techniques such as voice communications, radio teletype, television, facsimile, and even computer-to-computer communications over radio. Space shuttle astronauts communicate with classrooms worldwide via ham radios to educate elementary and high school students on space travel. The new International Space Station will include a ham radio station as well. For more details, e-mail Skoch at [EMAIL PROTECTED], write the club at 1033 Marlboro Road, Lothian, MD 20711. 001337. F-22 milestone completed ahead of schedule EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFPN) -- The F-22 Combined Test Force completed another major Defense Acquisition Board milestone ahead of schedule August 22. The test involved F-22 flight maneuvers with its weapons bay doors open and at high angles of attack. The milestone, officially titled "Initiate High AoA (Angle of Attack) with Weapons Bay Doors Open," was the third of nine flight test-related milestones completed this year. According to test engineers at the F-22 testing facility, the aircraft passed its milestone "with flying colors." Other milestones for 2000 include the first flight of Raptor 4003, 4004, 4005, 4006, Radar Cross Section testing, AIM-9 separation testing through AIM-120 separation testing, complete Avionics Block 3.0 first flight, and Block 3.0 function testing. Milestones completed this year include the first flight of Raptor 4003 and AIM-9 separation testing. Completion of Raptor 4004, 4005, 4006 and the avionics testing milestones can begin once the items complete the manufacturing process and are ready for issue to the CTF.

[CTRL] IRS: Government attack dog
IRS: Government attack dog by Linda Bowles http://www.townhall.com/columnists/lindabowles/lb000711.shtml In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has shown a propensity to leap like a junkyard attack dog at every suspected and imagined tax violation by conservative organizations such as the Christian Coalition and the Western Journalism Center; and it has with similar, savage enthusiasm executed tax audits on Bill Clinton's accusers, such as Juanita Broaddrick, alleged rape victim, and Paula Jones, alleged pants-dropping target. Given such diligence, you may never have suspected that the same IRS might look the other way at massive and in-your-face violations of its tax codes by liberal organizations such as the National Education Association (NEA). Fortunately, the Landmark Legal Foundation, as an act of good citizenship and in the interest of fair play, has politely reminded a selectively negligent IRS that political activities and expenditures by the tax-exempt NEA "are taxable to the organization unless they are segregated from the organization's general operations and conducted through a political action committee." In a formal complaint, the foundation, headed by legal scholar Mark Levin, presented a veritable mountain of evidence and exhibits to support the charge that the NEA has for a number of years lavishly spent general operating funds on taxable political activities and failed to report them on its tax returns. It remains to be seen whether the IRS is willing to take time from its punitive witch hunts and its routine assaults on private citizens to conduct a serious investigation in response to a serious complaint. As we say in the trade when confronted with a highly unlikely occurrence, "Don't hold your breath!" It is difficult to believe that any thinking person, other than perhaps a trial lawyer, would have the gall to argue that the National Education Association is not a thoroughly partisan, political organization. The NEA knows it has an image problem, and has sought help in dealing with it. Exhibit 23 of the Landmark Legal Foundation's presentation is a copy of a friendly audit by The Kamber Group. The Kamber people identified four perceptions of the NEA which that organization needs to overcome: 1. The NEA is a monolithic union that looks out for No. 1 at everyone else's --including kids'-- expense. 2. The NEA is a giant political arm of the Democratic Party. 3. The NEA is the greatest obstacle to needed education reform. 4. The NEA has nothing new or positive to offer. While Kamber suggested to the union bosses that these perceptions could be overcome with better communications, the reality is that these are not communication problems. This is not a list of misperceptions. This is an accurate diagnosis of a corrupt, self-serving organization that provides money and services to key Democratic politicians like Bill Clinton, Algore and California Gov. Gray Davis in exchange for protection of its monopoly from reform, competition and accountability. The NEA is the largest and most powerful trade union in America. Its open agenda is indistinguishable from that of any other radical, left-wing organization. Its philosophy of secular statism, anti-American multiculturalism, Marxian egalitarianism, and moral relativism permeates the government school curriculum. Like most unions, educational unions protect mediocrity and oppose change. They believe that need, not merit, should be the basis of rewards, that competition is unhealthy, that equality of outcome is more important than the attainment of excellence and that it is the job of government schools to protect children from the wrong-headedness and incompetence of parents. The concept that a school would live or die based upon doing a good job with the children is totally alien, not to mention frightening, to those in charge of government schools. They do not understand or value the power of free enterprise, market forces and competition. For this reason alone, they should not be involved with the education of our children. Historians Will and Ariel Durant defined education as the "transmission of civilization ... our mental, moral, technical and aesthetic heritage ..." They wrote: "Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die ..." The transmission of America's heritage to oncoming generations has been short-circuited. The values and traditions that made America the greatest nation in history and the envy of the world are dying. = 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
[CTRL] SAEN: Ex-rival hired as counsel
Ex-rival hired as counsel By Maro Robbins San Antonio Express-News Staff Writer Two of San Antonio's most respected and feared prosecutors have hired one of the city's best known and most accomplished criminal defense lawyers to deal with an investigation into whether they deceived Congress. Gerald H. Goldstein is representing the husband-and-wife team of Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ray and LeRoy Jahn career prosecutors who are subjects of a probe into possible government wrongdoing related to the 1993 Waco standoff with Branch Davidians. While making allies out of former courtroom adversaries, the match between the federal enforcers and the eloquent, self-described ex-hippie has symmetry beyond their local status as premier lawyers. All three attended law school in Austin together, and all attended the 1995 congressional hearing in which the Jahns have been accused of misleading lawmakers. The investigation led by special counsel John C. Danforth, however, represents an unexpected twist in the Jahns' careers. Their polished résumés include targeting public corruption, convicting federal Judge John Wood's assassin and tenaciously grilling President Clinton during the trial of his former Whitewater business partners. The Waco probe has thrust the veteran prosecutors into the unusual position of being investigated even as they investigate others. Most recently, their signatures appeared on grand jury subpoenas issued to the office of state Sen. Frank Madla, D-San Antonio, and other state agencies. The investigation focusing partly on the Jahns stems from their 1994 prosecution of 11 Branch Davidians after the 51-day siege ended with about 80 members of the religious sect dying as fire consumed their bunker. Some died from gunshot wounds. Although Danforth concluded in July that sect members kindled the blaze that killed them, he said several government agents and lawyers withheld information that, when it surfaced, spurred cover-up allegations and conspiracy theories. The former U.S. senator noted that the Jahns did not reveal the use of a potentially incendiary tear-gas canister on the morning of the siege during the 1994 trial or at a 1995 congressional hearing, in which the pair appeared as Justice Department experts on the Waco case. Their statement to lawmakers read in part, "the FBI did not fire a shot other than the nonlethal (and non-incendiary) ferret rounds which carried the CS (tear) gas." When questioned by Danforth's investigators, Ray Jahn "admitted" he knew about the pyrotechnic round in 1993 and claimed that he was merely "negligent" in not revealing them, the special counsel's preliminary report stated. The report added that investigators continue to examine whether the Jahns, or other prosecutors who worked alongside them, intentionally concealed the canister's use. Danforth's spokeswoman refused to comment on the investigation's progress. Goldstein likewise declined to discuss whether the Jahns had been summoned before a grand jury Danforth has convened in St. Louis. But he characterized them as ethical lawyers who are being sacrificed to the public's need to blame someone for controversy surrounding the Waco siege. "The word scapegoat comes to mind," he said, adding, "I think there will be other scapegoats." Other prosecutors, past and present, who worked on the 1994 trial include former Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston of Waco. He could not be reached for comment. Another trial participant, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Phinizy of Austin, said he had been interviewed but not subpoenaed by Danforth's investigators. San Antonio lawyer John Convery, a former prosecutor who helped select the jury but had no part in trial preparation, said investigators once contacted him but canceled their interview. = 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.

"While not ignoring how far we have sunk, we should not make the
parallel mistake of assuming that we are stuck here. Today's victors
have no lock on history, or even on the next election. Politics,
unlike sports, does not end at the finish line, the fourth quarter, or
the championship. It flows on, in endless permutations, and the

SECOND OPINION
CLASS ACTION
It's that time of year again, when the Sociocrats (or "New Democrats,"
as they like to call themselves) park their luxury imports, exchange
their starched white collars for open blue ones, forgo Chardonnay for
Budweiser, and commune with their most loyal voters to dispense a
lifetime supply of "class warfare" rhetoric.
Albert Arnold Gore and his cadre will use this Labor Day weekend to
laud the "working class" [read: those who are beneficiaries of special
interest protection rackets like organized labor, or income
redistribution schemes like recipients of some form of "welfare"] and
villainize the "rich and powerful" [read: those who pay taxes to
support the "working class"]. The rich and powerful, as defined by the
Gore ilk, are those families with combined annual incomes of more than
$30,000 ("working families," as defined by George Bush).
Class warfare, now a staple of Democrat campaigns, is the ultimate
un-American exercise of political hypocrisy. The practice -- in
America -- has its origins with the campaign of that wealthy
aristocrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who demonstrated that making an
ever-larger number constituents dependent on income redistribution
enforced by the central government is a winning political strategy.
FDR understood this admonition from his elder cousin, Teddy Roosevelt:
"Arrogance and envy, the bitter scorn of the rich man for the poor man
and the bitter hate of the poor man for the rich man, are merely the
opposite sides of the same dark shield"
At a time when millions of Americans were suffering under the Great
Depression, FDR said, "Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied
according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle." Of
course, that was not quite an "American principle," but a paraphrase
of Karl Marx's Communist maxim, "From each according to his abilities,
to each according to his needs."
FDR set the stage for the entrapment of future generations by the
welfare state and the incremental shift from individual freedom and
free enterprise to dependence on the state and socialism. Soviet
dictator Nikita Khrushchev said of the political trend launched by
Roosevelt's "New Deal," "We can't expect the American People to jump
from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders
in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to
find that they have Communism."
Despite all his class warfare rhetoric, FDR did not hail from the
ranks of the "working class" but from wealth and privilege, as did his
present-day students Al Gore and Teddy Kennedy. These modern-day
"inheritance welfare liberals," though from different socioeconomic
strata, identify strongly with government welfare dependents because
the former were dependent on their inheritance throughout their
formative years, and never developed the character and spirit of those
who have -- of their own accord and initiative -- sustained their
families and communities.
Inheritance welfare liberals have managed to lock the lips of
generations of government welfare "voter blocks" to their Democrat
posteriors. Al Gore is currently leading the pack with his campaign
mantra: "They're for the powerful; we're for the people."
This weekend, we will hear much ballyhooing about George W. Bush's
"risky plan" to leave $1.3 trillion of the projected $4.5 trillion
ten-year budget surplus in taxpayers' pockets -- though Gore will
phrase it: "Risky investing in a tax break for the wealthy." Of
course, all Mr. Bush has proposed to do is reduce tax rates
proportionally -- meaning those who were paying more would keep more.
Gore will warn that the Bush plan will wreck the "Clinton/Gore"
economy and that his alternative proposal for $2.3 trillion in new
government tax-and-spend programs will do more for the "working
class." Accordingly, Gore's new campaign mantra should be: "Ask not
what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for
you!"
Of course, the only thing the Bush plan will wreck is Gore's effort to
shackle more citizens to central government welfare spending programs,
and thus, expand his dependent constituency.

(And we thought only Joe Camel was guilty of poisoning Village children.) The report notes that ads for violent R-rated movies are primarily advertised on television programs being watched by young teens. Perhaps state attorneys general will drop their "gun problem" class action suit against gun industry and pursue a "culture problem" class action suit against the film industry for the culture of violence it promotes and creates. Don't hold your breath Quote of the week... "In his convention appearance Gore recalled how hardships demanded self-reliance from his parents and made them an inspiration to him. Gore wowed his convention by vowing to banish forever all the sorts of challenging conditions that made his parents so inspiring." --George Will On cross-examination...

"We changed things, to help unleash your potential, and innovation and investment in the private sector, the engine that drives the economy." --Albert Gore, taking responsibility for the economy -- despite those "powerful forces." From "The most ethical administration"... While the Great Prevaricator was busy arguing that he should not lose his standing with the Arkansas bar just because he lied in sworn testimony to protect himself in a sexual harassment suit, Mr. David Schippers, the Democrat who led the House Judiciary Committee's investigation of Clinton and who, incidentally, voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, now calls Clinton "a disgrace to the office...a disgrace to the United States. He's made the United States a laughingstock of the world I'm still a registered Democrat but from what I've seen on the national scene, I could never vote for a Democrat on the national level again until they clean up their act." News from the Swamp... As expected, Bill Clinton vetoed the Death Tax Elimination Act as a warm-up act for the "class warfare" rhetoric this Labor Day weekend. "I believe that this estate tax bill is part of a series of actions and commitments, that when you add it all up, would take us to the bad old days of deficits, high interest rates and have no money to invest in our common future," Clinton said. "This particular bill is wrong for our families and wrong for our future. It fails the test of the future, both on the grounds of fairness and fiscal responsibility." The House may have the muscle to override the veto. Rep. J.C. Watts said, "Eliminating the death tax will put an end to folks being visited by the undertaker and the IRS agent on the same day. ... Next week, Congress will vote to correct this mistake, to provide death tax relief and strengthen American families. I urge my colleagues to override this veto in the best interests of farmers, small businesses, and the entire nation." For more on the class warfare theme, see this week's Second Opinion, "Class Action." Judicial Benchmarks... In the halls of injustice on the left, a homosexual transvestite claimed he is entitled to asylum in the United States because his sexual proclivities are not acceptable back home in Mexico. A three-judge panel in San Francisco decided in his favor that "gay men with female sexual identities in Mexico constitute a protected 'particular social group' under the asylum statute." The Immigration Service must reverse its decision and approve the Mexican's request for asylum -- meaning Al Gore just picked up another vote from a reversal of INS immigration policy.

[CTRL] The Birthday of the Us Constitution a letter to the editor
To the Editor, On September 17, 2000 the Constitution of the United States will be in effect for 213 years, which I believe marks the real birth of our country. The Federal Government has observed the restrictions that the Constitution has imposed on activities of the Government in Washington,D.C until the early 1900's when the 16th and 17th amendment were ratified and the Federal Reserve system was created. Since then, there has been an enormous change in attitudes concerning the United States Constitution. Currently, the people of the United States have allowed the Federal Government to violate the restrictions of the Constitution virtually at will. How has this happened? The primary cause, I believe, is that the basics of our Government are not being taught in our government schools (which are controlled by the Federal Government via Federal Government aid to education). It is because of this deliberate policy of imposed ignorance that the Federal Government gets away with wholesale violations of the United States Constitution. I urge every reader of this letter to re-read the Constitution of the United States (log on to: http://www.constitution.org/cs_found.htm) and reflect on how much the Federal Government violates Constitutional restrictions(Some estimates states that up to 80% of what we allow the Federal Government to do is Un-Constitutional!). Then I recommend everybody to act by calling and writing your Federal Representative and both of your Federal Senators and demand a return to strict observance of the United States Constitution by our Federal Government. visit my web site at http://www.voicenet.com/~wbacon My ICQ# is 79071904 A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Fed Conference
From www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : North America : US Economy Federal Reserve conference spotlights financial instability By Nick Beams 1 September 2000 Back to screen version This year's annual conference of US Federal Reserve Board officials and economic policymakers at Jackson Hole, Wyoming threw some further light on the increasingly unstable financial position of the US economy and pointed to concerns in ruling circles that a decline in economic growth could have major political ramifications. In his address to the conference, Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan warned that deep-seated antipathy toward free-market competition could emerge if economic growth began to falter. Any notable shortfall in economic performance from the standard set in recent years ... runs the risk of reviving sentiment against market-oriented systems even among some conventional establishment policymakers. At present, such a shortfall is not anticipated, and such views are not widespread. But they resonate in some of the arguments against the global trading system that emerged in Washington, D.C. and Seattle over the past year. One of the most noteworthy features of Greenspan's speech was that it pinpointed what could well be called the dirty secret of the US economic boom and the inflow of foreign capital upon which it has become increasingly dependent. According to Greenspan, one of the main reasons why there was a greater level of high-tech capital investment in the US than in Europe and Japan was that by law and by custom, American employers have faced many fewer impediments in recent years to releasing employees. In other words, US firms are more profitable because of the greater ease with which they can carry out mass sackings and downsizing as compared to their rivals in other countries. This difference, he continued, is important in our new high-tech world because much, if not most, of the rate of return from new technologies results from cost reduction, which on a consolidated basis largely means the reduction of labour costs. Consequently, legal restraints on the ability of firms to readily implement such cost reductions lower the prospective rates of return on the newer technologies and, thus, the incentives to apply them. As a result, even though these technologies are available to all, the intensity of their application and the accompanying elevation in the growth of productivity are more clearly evident in the United States and other countries with fewer impediments to implementation. As a result of the greater rates of profit in the US, Greenspan noted, Europeans have been finding investments in the United States increasingly attractive and have accounted for an increasing share of the expanding total of foreign investment in US direct and portfolio assets. These conclusions have decisive political implications. They point to the fact that one of the most crucial factors in the continued ability of the US to suck in the foreign capital needed to finance its growing international debt and rising balance of payments deficitnow running at around $400 billion per year or 4 percent of gross domestic productis the suppression of all independent struggles by the working class for wages or in defence of jobs. A paper by economists Maurice Obstfeld and Kenneth Rogoff focused on the escalation in the US current account deficit in the recent period. After running at an historically high rate of 1.7 percent of GDP from 1992 to 1998, the deficit surged to 3.7 percent of GDP in 1999 and is expected to reach 4.4 percent in 2001. While among the major capitalist nations this was still below the level of Australia (which recorded a deficit averaging 4.3 percent from 1991 to 1999), the deficit of $316 billion was still the largest imbalance in history, in absolute terms. This raised the question as to how long the global economic system could sustain such borrowings from its largest member and what the consequences would be of a sudden reversal. The authors pointed out that by the end of the year 2000 the net indebtedness of the US would be around $1.9 trillion or 20 percent of GDP and that even if the current US growth rate of 5 percent per annum could be sustained, an ongoing current account deficit of 4.4 percent of GDP would imply a sharply rising foreign debt-GDP ratio into the foreseeable future. The paper pointed out that while the 20 percent debt to output ratio seemed manageable it was extremely high by historical standards. At the end of the 19th century, when the US was an emerging economic giant, its debt-GDP ratio never exceeded 26 percent (a high-water mark reached in 1894). If today's trends continue, that figure will shortly be surpassed. One only has to recall that prior to the Latin American debt crisis in 1980, Argentina's net foreign debt stood at 22 percent, Brazil's 19 percent and Mexico's 30 percent, to see that the US external debt-GDP ratio has

From www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : North America : US Elections The US elections: Lieberman's holy war against the Bill of Rights By Barry Grey 1 September 2000 Back to screen version Speaking on Sunday, August 27 at the Fellowship Chapel Church in Detroit, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman declared, the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. This statement is a defining moment in the 2000 presidential campaign. It is the Connecticut senator's most explicit attack to date on the Constitutional principles of freedom of thought and expression and the separation of church and state. In the same address Lieberman extolled belief in God as the basis of morality and the informing principle of American society. He told his audience, As a people, we need to reaffirm our faith and renew the dedication of our nation and ourselves to God and God's purpose. The speech was in keeping with the general tenor of the Connecticut senator's public remarks since his selection as Democrat Al Gore's running mate. With Gore's blessing, Lieberman has flaunted his religion and cited it repeatedly as the justification for a crackdown on what he deems to be gratuitous sex and violence in the media, as well as other measures of an anti-democratic character. Lieberman has backed the efforts of the Republican right to break down legal barriers to the intrusion of religion into public education, calling for a moment of silence in the schools. He is a supporter of government vouchers for private, including religious, schools. For all his claims to the contrary, he promotes censorship of the media and the arts. He has proposed, for example, that the Federal Communications Commission consider so-called violent content when it renews radio and television licenses. It is no accident that this self-styled guardian of morality and faith was the first prominent Democrat to publicly denounce Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky affair, legitimizing the right-wing conspiracy headed by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr that sought to use a sex scandal as the pretext for a political coup d'etat. Gore chose Lieberman for his running mate precisely because of the Connecticut senator's right-wing credentials, in line with the efforts of the Democrats to appropriate the social policies of the Republicans. In the face of scattered criticism of Lieberman's Detroit speech, Gore defended his running mate, while Lieberman himself said he would continue to preach from the campaign stump, calling his invocation of God and religion the American way. For the Democratic candidates and the political advisers managing their campaign, Lieberman's religious protestations have more to do with immediate electoral tactics than any deeply held convictions or considered political conceptions. Operating as they do at the most banal and crudely opportunistic level, they calculate that a Democratic ticket that echoes the sermonizing of the Republican right will neutralize their opponents' attempts to exploit the Lewinsky scandal, while garnering support from certain sections of the electorate. The implications of Lieberman's Constitutional claims However limited the motivations behind Lieberman's preachments, his claim that the Constitution does not guarantee freedom from religion has far-reaching implications. He himself is, in all likelihood, incapable of conceiving of the political consequences that can result from prominent political figures trifling with such core Constitutional issues. On its face, Lieberman's interpretation of the First Amendment prohibition of state support for religion is inane. There cannot be freedom of religion without the right to be free from religion. The conceptual foundation for all democratic rights to free thought and expression is undermined if the secularist basis of the state is removed. The centrality of the principle of freedom of conscience to the Constitution as a whole is indicated by the fact that it is proclaimed in the very first sentence of the Bill of Rights. The First Amendment is explicit in rejecting theocracy and asserting the secularist basis of the American republic: Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Lieberman has responded to criticisms of his statement by reassuring one and all that he supports the separation of church and state and opposes the religious right on issues like abortion. Those who are disturbed by his characterization of the First Amendment are, he implies, making a mountain out of a molehill. But Lieberman's cavalier attitude does not alter the fact that his attack on the secularist principle embodied in the First Amendment places a question mark over the legal foundation for a host of democratic rights, from the right to abortion to such issues as gay rights, divorce, equality of the sexes, and basic matters of privacy.

An A for Home Schooling
Brian C. Anderson
{H}ome schooling first showed up on the national radar screen in 1997, when 13-
year-old Rebecca Sealfon, all brains and awkward gestures, won the National
Spelling Bee, showing a startled public that her unorthodox education must be
doing something right. Today, though home schooling accounts for only 3 or 4
percent of America's schoolchildren, the movement's brisk 15 percent annual
growth rate has become a powerful, hard to ignore indictment of the nation's
academically underachieving, morally irresolute, disorderly, and often scary
public schools. Side by side with public education's lackluster results, the
richness of home schooling's achievementthe wealth of challenging subjects its
pupils learn, the civility it inculcates, the strong characters it seems to
form, and the nurturing family life it reinforcesembodies a practical ideal
of childhood and education that can serve as a useful benchmark of what is
possible in turn-of-the-millennium America.
Though existing data are incomplete, everything we know about home-schooled
kids says that they are flourishing academically in every way. This year, home-
schooled kids swept the top three places on the National Spelling Bee, and
Stanford accepted 27 percent of its home-schooled applicants, nearly twice its
average acceptance rate. Small wonder that the public school establishment
wants to regulate home schooling out of existence. It represents a silent, but
eloquent, reproach to the professionals.
Only 20 years ago, home schooling was a far-out fringe phenomenon. No more than
50,000 children were then educated outside of school, their parents mostly
graying hippies who wanted to protect them from what they considered the
stifling conformity of "the system." In the early eighties, though, the ranks
of home schoolers began to swell with Christian fundamentalists dissatisfied
with value-free public schools. Today, the full array of American familiesfrom
religiously orthodox Catholics and Jews to thoroughgoing secularistsare
joining the fundamentalists and the Age-of-Aquarius types in home schooling
their kids.
Former Department of Education researcher Patricia M. Lines, writing in The
Public Interest, estimates that now anywhere from 1.5 to 2 million children are
being home schooled, considerably more than the 400,000 students enrolled in
charter schools across the country. "The rise of home schooling," Lines judges,
"is one of the most significant social trends of the past half century."
What does a typical home-schooling family look like? It is likely to be white
(only 6 percent of home-schooling families are minorities) and observantly
Christian, with married parents and three or more kids. The parents are likely
to be better educated than the adult population at large, and the family will
be comfortably middle-classthough either Mom (in nine out of ten home-
schooling families) or Dad forgoes a second family income to stay at home. Mom
and Dad will probably vote Republican.
The Imperatos of Bohemia, in New York's Suffolk County, fit the typical home-
schooling family profile pretty much to a T. Blunt-spoken Joe Imperato,
Brooklyn born and bred, works for the New York City Fire Department; his soft-
spoken, articulate wife, Karen, teaches the kids, eight of them (aged 11 months
to 17 years) . . . and counting. The Imperatos have been home schooling for
eight years now, for academic, religious (they're evangelical Christians), and
familial reasons. To get a sense of what home schooling was like up close, I
went to visit them in late May.
Welcomed into their big white house with a firm handshake from Joe, I felt for
a momentno exaggerationas if I had entered Laura Ingalls Wilder's little
house on the prairie, relocated to a leafy New York suburb. The well-dressed,
polite, and cheerful children spill out of every corner of the house to greet
me; family portraits and drawings by the kids adorn the walls. The home
radiates warmth and good order, from the kids' elaborate chore chart to the
piano in the living room to the prominently displayed "House Rules" (Rule No.
1: "I Will Not Argue with Mom and Dad").
Recovering from my intrusion, the Imperatos' home school soon bustles. The
family has converted one section of the house into three makeshift classrooms.
There's a narrow room with a long counter for the younger kids, three of whom,
12-year-old Julie, Philip (9), and Peter (7), return to math after saying
hello; a wider room humming with slightly bruised computers where Luke, 14, is
doing a grammar program on CD-ROM; and a third, "quiet" room, where the older
children can read. Books pile on shelves in each of the rooms, and everywhere
you turn there's something to engage the minda wall poster time-lining major
events of world history, globes, and educational videos.

Welcome to the War, Mr. President

TODAY, PRESIDENT Clinton will visit Andres Pastrana, the president of Colombia,
a country the White House claims is vital to the national security of the
United States.
Eager to demonstrate solidarity with Colombia's fragile government, Clinton
also comes bearing gifts, $1.3 billion in aid, ostensibly to expand the war
against drugs.
To receive these funds, the Colombian government was supposed to meet seven
human rights conditions imposed by Congress. It met only one. Undeterred,
President Clinton signed a waiver that released the aid to the Colombian
government.
That decision drew angry responses from Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch and the Washington Office on Latin America. Together, they issued an
unprecedented joint report that criticizes Clinton's decision and condemns
Colombian government and paramilitary forces for committing major human rights
abuses and violations in a continuing 36-year civil war.
With the prospect of American aid pouring into Colombia, peace talks have
stalled and the violence on all sides has increased. To ensure President
Clinton's safety, the Colombian government has deployed a fleet of patrol
ships, a squadron of choppers, and encircled the meeting place in the coastal
city of Cartagena with 5,000 army troops. Meanwhile, the Secret Service,
unwilling to permit the president to sleep even one night in Colombia, has
flown in a phalanx of protectors.
Few people in Colombia believe that U.S. military helicopters will be used to
fight the growth and traffic in coca leaves. Leftist rebel forces argue that
the United States is entering a civil war on the side of the government. When
American soldiers fly above the rebels, assisting government troops, they will
become military targets, subject to antiaircraft fire.
Some Colombian intellectuals and journalists, moreover, suspect that America's
real ``natural security interest'' is the protection of multinational
corporations' access to huge oil reserves, inconveniently located on peasant
lands in rebel-controlled areas of the north.
As America's involvement in Colombia's civil war deepens, a growing number of
political leaders -- as well as ordinary citizens -- are questioning the wisdom
of Clinton's foreign policy.
In California, Sen. Barbara Boxer originally voted for the aid package. But she
also vigorously supported two amendments that would have reduced funds used for
military intervention. Now she has publicly criticized Clinton for signing the
human rights waiver and releasing military aid to Colombia.
Tom Campbell, a Republican candidate for the Senate, has been a leading voice
of dissent. His rival, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, supported the aid package, which
originally had greater provisions to protect human rights. At the time, she
said that the ''ongoing narco-crisis in Colombia and the overall crisis of
drugs in America represent an important threat to our nation's security and
stability.'' Since then, she has voiced no public protest against plans for
military intervention.
And so, America's entry into the Colombian war begins. In the past, Americans
have harshly judged those elected officials who failed to speak up before
American soldiers died. The time for dissent is now.

[CTRL] THE RMA AND CSW: Foreword and Summary
http://www.gulfwarvets.com/mac.htm Title: THE RMA AND CSW: Foreword and Summary THE REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS AND CONFLICT SHORT OF WAR Steven Metz and James O. Kievit July 25, 1994 The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. FOREWORD For many experts on U.S. national security, the combination of emerging technology and innovative ideas seen in the Gulf War seem to herald a genuine revolution in military affairs. The victory of coalition forces demonstrated the technology and seemed to suggest that the revolution in military affairs can solve many of the strategic problems faced by the United States in the post-Cold War security environment. In this study, the authors concede that the revolution in military affairs holds great promise for conventional, combined-arms warfare, but conclude that its potential value in conflict short of war, whether terrorism, insurgency, or violence associated with narcotrafficking, is not so clear-cut. Given this, national leaders and strategists should proceed cautiously and only after a full exploration of the ethical, political, and social implications of their decisions. To illustrate this, the authors develop a hypothetical future scenario--a history of U.S. efforts in conflict short of war during the first decade of the 21st century. It is too early to offer concrete policy prescriptions for adapting many aspects of the revolution in military affairs to conflict short of war, but the authors do suggest an array of questions that should be debated. In order to decide whether to apply new technology and emerging concepts or how to employ them, the United States must first reach consensus on ultimate objectives and acceptable costs. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to offer this study as a first step in this process. JOHN W. MOUNTCASTLE Colonel, U.S. Army Director, Strategic Studies Institute SUMMARY Many American strategic thinkers believe that we are in the beginning stages of a historical revolution in military affairs (RMA). This will not only change the nature of warfare, but also alter the global geopolitical balance. To date, most attention has fallen on the opportunities provided by the RMA rather than its risks, costs, and unintended consequences. In the arena of conflict short of war, these risks, costs, and unintended consequences may outweigh the potential benefits. The Strategic Context. The Cold War notion of conflict short of war is obsolete. Politically and militarily, the Third World of the future will be full of danger. The future will most likely be dominated by peace enforcement in failed states, new forms of insurgency and terrorism, and gray area phenomena. Many if not most Third World states will fragment into smaller units. Ungovernability and instability will be the norm with power dispersed among warlords, primal militias, and well-organized politico-criminal organizations. U.S. policy in the Third World is likely to be more selective and the U.S. homeland may no longer provide sanctuary. Renewed external support will restore the lagging proficiency of insurgents and terrorists. The Application of Emerging Technology. Emerging technology will have less impact on conflict short of war than on conventional, combined-arms warfare. It will, however, have some role. In noncombatant evacuation operations, new technology can assist with identification and notification of evacuees. Sensor technology, robotics, nonlethal weapons, and intelligence meshes will be used in combatting terrorism, countering narcotrafficking, and peace operations. These technologies, along with simulator training and unmanned aerial vehicles, will also be useful in insurgency and counterinsurgency. Constraints and Countermeasures. There are a number of constraints on applying the RMA to conflict short of war. These include the lack of a powerful institutional advocate for this process, a shortage of money for the development of technology specifically for conflict short of war, and the possibility that new technology may run counter to American values. Enemies may also develop countermeasures to RMA innovations. Rather than attempt to match the technological prowess of U.S. forces, future enemies will probably seek asymmetrical countermeasures designed to strike at U.S. public support for engagement in conflict short of war, at the will of our friends and allies, or, in some cases, at deployed U.S. forces. Making Revolution. Rather than simply graft emerging technology to existing strategy, doctrine, organization, force structure, objectives, concepts, attitudes, and norms, the United States could pursue a full revolution in the way we approach conflict short of war. This is rife with hidden dangers and unintended consequences. A

From http://www.antiwar.com/justin/pf/p-j090100.html }}Begin Behind the Headlines by Justin Raimondo Antiwar.com September 1, 2000 COLOMBIA THE DEJA VU WAR Lying comes easily to some people, and none find it more effortless than William Jefferson Clinton, who has elevated dissimulation to an art form. In Cartagena yesterday, with the Washington power elite in tow, and Colombian President Andres Pastrana at his side, the man who "never touched that woman" stuck out his fat lower lip and declared: "A condition of this aid is that we are not going to get into a shooting war. This is not Vietnam; neither is it Yankee imperialism. Those are the two false charges that have been hurled against Plan Colombia. You have a perfect right to question whether you think it will work or whether you think we've properly distributed the resources. But I can assure you a lot of the opposition to this plan is coming from people who are afraid it will work. So that won't happen." THE INVERSION PRINCIPLE In order to find out what is really going on in Colombia, all we have to do is invert what the President said: The aid will, in and of itself, drag us into a shooting war, since drugs and civil insurrection are, in Colombia, inextricably intertwined. Secondly, the parallels with Vietnam are enough to qualify this as the Deja-Vu War. Not only does this conflict come complete with Marxist revolutionaries, impenetrable jungles, and a country long victimized by foreign domination, but its unwinnability has been determined from the very outset. . . . THE YOGI BERRA PRINCIPLE While we had no business intervening in Southeast Asia Eisenhower started it once in there the US did everything it could to ensure the defeat of its ostensible war on Communism. The Vietnamese anti-Communist forces, represented by President Ngo Dinh Diem, were opposed, undermined, and finally overthrown by the US government: the assassination of President Diem is today widely acknowledged to have been a US covert operation. Diem, a Catholic in a nation of Buddhists, was the bane of radicalized Buddhist monks, who periodically set themselves on fire whenever they wanted to garner the attention of the Western media. It was an effective tactic, one that led, eventually, to a US-organized coup, and also to Diem's death at the coup plotters' hands. Diem had paid the price for taking President Kennedy at his word. If the US had really been interested in fighting Communism in Vietnam, they would have backed Diem to the hilt; instead, they had him murdered. In Colombia, it's deja vu all over again, as Yogi Berra would say. Once again, the only force that is capable of rolling back leftist guerrillas on the ground has been targeted for destruction by the US. . . . THE REAL TARGET OF "PLAN COLOMBIA" The Autodefensas, or autonomous self-defense groups that are known in the Western media as "rightwing paramilitary groups," grew up in the 1980s, when the wave of kidnappings launched by leftist guerrilla groups began to demoralize (and decimate the ranks of) the middle class: small business owners, ranchers; even the drug traffickers, some of whom by this time had achieved middle class status, were being terrorized. Aside from the kidnappings, competing leftist guerrilla armies were preying on the peasants, looting stores, and exacting "taxes" from a populace it couldn't even protect from the scourges of the army, which would periodically sweep into town and execute suspected guerrilla sympathizers. War often broke out between competing leftist factions, with civilians caught in the crossfire. The autodefensas sprang up in response to the inability or unwillingness of the central government in Bogota to offer the least amount of protection. Although the pro-leftist media likes to characterize them as moral monsters, and as little more than agents of the Colombian military, their leaders are often defectors from the ranks of the guerrillas who saw through the Marxoid rhetoric and realized that the FARC, the ELN, the EPL, and the others were just marauding gangs, out for power and loot. The campesinos themselves organized the self-defense committees, which merged into the Autodefensas Unidas Colombia (AUC). Their power base is in the north, where the AUC counts most of the biggest ranchers among its supporters. Consciously emulating the leftist groups, the autodefensas have waged a relentless war against the guerrillas and have generally been much more effective than the army. It has been widely remarked that the FARC and the other leftist revolutionary groups control about half the country: what is generally not said is that the autodefensas control the other half. They are the main bulwark against the final victory of the Left and as a result, they have been targeted by the US. For it is they who will wind up being the main targets of "Plan Colombia." . . . "DEATH TO KIDNAPPERS" We are not in Colombia to fight Marxist insurgents, in spite of the

[CTRL] WOW!!! The E.U/ NWO Is Right!
EU takes hard line on AOL, Time Warner combination Updated 4:53 PM ET September 1, 2000 By Jeremy Pelofsky WASHINGTON (Reuters) - European regulators have reached a preliminary conclusion that America Online Inc.'s proposed acquisition of Time Warner Inc. would create a dominant company that could hurt competition, according to a document reviewed by Reuters. The European Commission has drafted a 45-page statement of objections that outlines the regulators' concerns about the mega-merger. The document could be the opening salvo in negotiations to prevent the new entity from discriminating against rivals. The EU has preliminarily determined that the merger, "would create a dominant position in the markets for online music delivery, music software, Internet dial-up access, broadband Internet access and integrated broadband content as a result of which effective competition would be significantly impeded in the common market," the document said. AOL and Time Warner officials will meet with European Commission's competition department in a closed-door meeting Wednesday and Thursday in an effort to persuade the regulators that their objections are unfounded. The EU objections could also spell trouble for the two companies. In the past few years American competition agencies have coordinated closely with the Europeans, often reaching similar or complementary conclusions. In addition, the European regulators raised similar concerns about competition in the music industry as it considers the proposed joint venture between Time Warner's music operations and EMI Group Plc, according to a second statement of objections reviewed by Reuters Friday. Among the EU's biggest concerns with the AOL-Time Warner deal, now worth an estimated $132 billion, was the massive concentration of content the new company would have, ranging from publications and music to films and retail outlets. "The more content AOL acquires and the bigger its community of users, the less reasons for a subscriber to abandon AOL's walled garden and the more reasons for potential Internet users to join AOL," the EU statement said. In the merging companies' defense, they have pledged not to discriminate against competing content providers or Internet services and have signed a memorandum of understanding promising to provide competitors access to Time Warner's cable systems. At next week's meeting, AOL, Time Warner plan to go to great lengths to persuade regulators that concerns are unnecessary with Time Warner President Dick Parsons and Barry Schuler, AOL's head of interactive services, attending. "We look forward to meeting with the European Commission and are confident we'll satisfy them that the AOL Time Warner merger poses no competitive problems in Europe," said AOL spokeswoman Tricia Primrose. One independent analyst said that, while the EU's objections are noteworthy, there are conditions and commitments that are enforceable by regulators and can mitigate many of the anti-competitive concerns raised. "The questions in the antitrust mind is do they want to police it, do they want that obligation, and do they think they can police it adequately," said Scott Cleland, an analyst at the Precursor Group. Given the EU's statement of objections, skeptics seemed to have an impact with regulators who have been deluged with information and concerns about discrimination. The Walt Disney Co. and BellSouth Corp. , have complained that AOL Time Warner could put its content before competitors, give sweetheart deals to affiliated partners and give priority to the transmission of their own content. "AOL could refuse to distribute third parties' film content or threaten to refuse to distribute in order to negotiate the most advantageous commercial terms," the EU said, according to the document. The EU said AOL Time Warner also could steer users to affiliated content, advertisements and give preferential placement to its own content while degrading third party content and slowing transmission speed, among other things. Plus, AOL's access to the vast media empire of Time Warner would be in addition to having EMI's music library and Bertelsmann's publishing arm at its disposal, which raised concerns among the European regulators, especially as new technology emerges and people turn to the Internet for music. For example, the EU said AOL's instant messaging function could allow users to share audio files, form chat rooms or develop loyalty clubs and incentives to bring in new users, giving the company a significant edge over competitors who do not have similar unfettered access to content. "The combination of Time Warner's content with AOL's distribution network gives rise to a snowball/network effect: more content attracts more subscribers, more subscribers attracts more content and so on," the EU statement said. Although, AOL has little broadband service in Europe, which may work in the merging companies' favor when they plead their case next

With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff Friday September 1, 2000; 7:29 PM EDT Judge Rules Against Reno, Holder and Meissner in Elian Lawsuit A federal judge in Miami has denied a motion from lawyers for Attorney General Janet Reno, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and INS Commissioner Doris Meissner to halt discovery in the civil rights lawsuit spurred by the government's April 22 seizure of Cuban boat boy Elian Gonzalez. The claim, filed by Judicial Watch in May, seeks damages in excess of $100 million on behalf of more than 50 plaintiffs, including Donato Dalrymple, who rescued Gonzalez from the ocean ten months ago only to have to turn him over at gunpoint to federal agents. Family friends and neighbors from Gonzalez's Little Havana block who say they were assaulted or otherwise harmed during the raid have also joined the suit. The defendants' motion to halt discovery was denied on Tuesday in a tersely worded ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Federico A. Moreno: "The court has considered the motion and the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is adjudged that the motion is denied." Dalrymple contends that his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were violated when federal agents allegedly rampaged through the Gonzalez house tear gassing and roughing up those inside. Ultimately one agent pointed a machine gun at him and allegedly shouted, "Give me the f - - king boy or I'll shoot." The ruling means that Judicial Watch can begin gathering documents and other evidence relevant to the case from the Justice Department and INS. "We can also begin deposing witnesses," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told NewsMax.com late Friday, adding that Reno, Holder and Meissner would be at the top of their witness list. "This is a big step towards justice and a big victory for all those heroes in Little Havana who were hurt by this raid," Fitton said. "Now it's full steam ahead." = 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] GUN OWNERS PLEASE READ --Police pull gun law support --- Alberta officers say Ottawa broke promises
Dear Reader, Thank God I live in Alberta. Alberta is the one rebel province in confederation. I suppose much as Texas or Alabama could be considered to be in the good ol' US of A. The Fed's in Ottawa about five years ago began their diabolical drive to surreptitiously disarm Canadians en masse. This gradual disarming has not been officially announced as an agenda by the goverment but, hey, who are we kidding here? Certainly not ourselves. The law in effect at this point is a gun registration requirement. This is for each and every gun. All gun owners must register their guns no later than Jan 1, 2003. Recently I saw on television a government payed for commercial that was rather intimidating to gun owners basically inferring heavy handed police tactics, large fines, jail time and a criminal record to those who do not comply. We all know that those who do register their guns are really registering for gun confiscation in the end. Does anyone seriously believe a criminal will register his weapon prior to a bank robbery? As good fortune has it Alberta has been against Bill C-68 since its beginings. The one beautiful thing about our Canadian constitution is the "notwithstanding clause". There is no 2nd amendment here. Gun ownership is a priviledge. But the notwithstanding clause allows my province and other provinces, to tell the Fed's to screw off and the law in this province will not stand. Period.My province has rattled that sabre before to the Fed's. In the news article that follows, it looks like soon it might be coming to a head. It's not often you see the police sticking up for the gun rights of law abiding citizens. God bless Alberta, :o) Mike Smith Friday 1 September 2000 Police pull gun law support Alberta officers say Ottawa broke promises Emma Poole, Calgary Herald Rank and file police officers in Calgary and Edmonton will withdraw their backing of Ottawa's gun control registry today -- a move they hope will spark opposition to the controversial law from departments across Canada. "Alberta is putting a resolution forward that is to withdraw support for Bill C-68," said Calgary Police Association president Al Koenig. "The Alberta federation feels that the gun legislation promises made by the federal government have not been kept." The provincial association will vote against the controversial registration at the Canadian Police Association's annual meeting being held in Halifax until Saturday. If a majority of provinces vote against the legislation, the Canadian association, which represents front-line officers across the country, will withdraw its support. "The gun registry as it sits right now is causing law abiding citizens to register their guns but it does nothing to take one illegal gun off the street or to increase any type of penalty for anybody that violates any part of the legislation," said Koenig. But supporters of the legislation -- which requires firearms owners to obtain licences by Jan. 1, 2003 -- say if the association pulls its support it will surely send a message to criminals that law enforcement in Canada doesn't care about gun activity. "Gun registration will provide vital safety information to police officers and be a very valuable tool in detecting stolen or smuggled firearms and prosecuting related crimes," said Emile Therien, president of the Canadian Safety Council. "We're talking public safety here." Therien is confused that the association would reconsider its gun control position after five years of support for the legislation. This isn't the first time a provincial association has challenged the legislation at a national meeting. Last year in Regina, delegates from Saskatchewan called on the federal group to withdraw its support for the gun registry, The Firearms Act, passed in 1995, requires gun owners to obtain licences by the end of this year and register each firearm by the beginning of 2003. The Quebec delegation has already stepped forward and declared its support for the registration. On Thursday, the group reaffirmed it would be voting for the legislation and feels it is an important aspect of firearms control. "Registration of firearms and licensing of their owners are essential for the protection of both public and police officers against unfortunate accidents, domestic violence and other tragedies," said Quebec's police association president Yves Prud'Homme. The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is in full support of gun registration and supports the registry fully, said Calgary police deputy Chief Rick Hanson. But Koenig said there are just too many bogus issues in the current legislation for the association to support it any longer. "When we find that nothing is being done as far as protecting citizens and protecting officers then the focus of this legislation is going the wrong way," he said. "The focus should be for stricter penalties for criminals, not

Bush administration than under one run by Al Gore, industry officials told Reuters Health in a series of interviews. Bush, the Texas governor and Republican presidential nominee, has made many friends in the drug and biotech industries and has amassed a healthy campaign bank balance in the process. Industry insiders applaud his support of pro-industry legislation--such as research and development tax credits--and tolerate his restrained efforts at Medicare drug benefits, although they concede that his vision on the latter is decidedly blurry. By comparison, Gore, the Democratic nominee, favors a large, comprehensive Medicare drug package--and has offered some specifics to support it. Drug and biotech leaders commend Gore for advocating US Food and Drug Administration reform, for backing greater funding of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and for supporting the Human Genome Project. But the vice president also appears at times hostile to pharmaceutical interests. In his acceptance speech last week at the Democratic National Convention, held in Los Angeles, California, Gore grouped pharmaceutical companies with "big tobacco, big oil, (and) the big polluters" The vice president said these sectors are "for the powerful" and that he is "for the people," asserting that "you have to be willing to stand up and say no" to them. To pharmaceutical industry representatives and insiders, the only issue worth following is the Medicare drug benefit. It is the one issue, they say, that can influence drug costs and trigger price controls, and it is so important to them that it has supplanted such pet themes as patent protection, managed care's effect on the industry, and drug reimportation. While Bush proposes to nearly double the current Medicare budget from $218 billion to $434 billion, he does not offer a Medicare drug benefit package per se. According to his campaign, he favors "bipartisan Medicare reform" although he has not taken a position on an alternative bipartisan plan passed by House Republicans last June that calls for a 5-year, nearly $40 billion limited drug benefit package. In shaping his drug benefit platform, the governor has pointed to the work of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare as a starting point. The commission introduced a plan based on the US Federal Employees Health Benefit Program, which allows 9 million federal workers to pick from an array of health plans. The commission fell one vote short of approving the plan earlier this year. Bush stresses that when it comes to Medicare, reform must be bipartisan and ensure certain fundamentals. According to his campaign, these include preserving guaranteed access to care for beneficiaries; allowing beneficiaries to choose a health plan with the option to buy a plan with drug coverage; ensuring that low-income seniors' expenses are covered; allowing seniors access to the latest medical advances; and promising not to increase Medicare
[CTRL] Bare-Faced Messiah Chapter 5
Title: Bare-Faced Messiah: Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Science Fictions 'By 1938, Hubbard was already established and recognized as one of the top-selling authors ... [and] was urged to try his hand at science fiction. He protested that he did not write about "machines and machinery" but that he wrote about people. "That's just what we want," he was told. The result was a barrage of stories from Hubbard that expanded the scope and changed the face of the literary genre ...' (About L. Ron Hubbard, Writers of the Future, Volume II, Bridge Publications Inc., 1986) (Scientology's account of the years 1938-40.) * * * * * To science-fiction fans, 1938 marked the dawn of a new era they were pleased to call the 'Golden Age'. Before then, science-fiction pulps with gosh-wow titles like Amazing, Wonder, Planet Stories and Startling had usually been ridiculed if not ignored. Crowded into the darkest corner, or on to the lowest shelf of the news-stand, they were only sustained by the devotion of a small group of passionately loyal enthusiasts who, dreaming of time machines and space travel in the grimly haunted days of the Depression, were widely considered to be dotty. The sad truth was that the nineteenth century heritage of Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, Edgar Allen Poe and H.G. Wells had largely degenerated, by the early 'thirties, into trash - uninspiring tales of slavering robots and talking animals written in penny-dreadful prose, mediocre fiction without the science. Bug-eyed monsters figured prominently, either invading earth with the intention of enslaving the human race or carrying away our 'fairest maidens' for use as love-toys on some alien planet. Readers needed considerable faith to relish repeated workings of the same tedious themes, but then science-fiction fans were acknowledged to be particularly fanatical, if not particular. It was possible to date, precisely, the metamorphosis that ushered in the Golden Age because it began with the appointment of John W. Campbell Junior as editor of Astounding magazine, at the age of twenty-seven, in early 1938. Campbell was the man who dragged science fiction out of the pulp mire and elevated it to an art form. 76 Opinionated, overbearing and garrulous, he was a chain-smoking intellectual dynamo bursting with ideas which he would expound at length, driving home every point by stabbing the air with his long black cigarette holder. His first science-fiction story, 'When The Atoms Failed', was published in Amazing in 1930 and he quickly made a name for himself as an original, imaginative and sophisticated writer. One of his best stories was transformed, through no fault of his, into one of Hollywood's worst movies, The Thing From Outer Space. As an editor, Campbell used his magazine to speculate on the implications - emotional, philosophical and sociological - of future scientific discoveries. He expected style, skill, ingenuity and technical proficiency from his contributors. Few of the existing pulp writers could meet his exacting standards and so he set out to nurture new talent. Almost all the biggest names of the Golden Age - Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, A.E. van Vogt and many others - were first published in Astounding. Campbell never compromised. Faulty plots were ruthlessly rejected with pages of closely typed criticism - Theodore Sturgeon once got a story back with a seven-page explanation as to why a particular fission of light metals was not feasible. Yet Campbell's critiques to writers were always accompanied by a flood of new ideas and suggestions for other stories. 'No editor was ever more helpful,' said Jack Williamson, one of his contributors. 'He read every story submitted. Those he rejected came back with useful comments, and many a letter accepting one story also included ideas for another.'[1] The mechanical ants in Williamson's novel, The Moon Children, were Campbell's idea. Isaac Asimov always remembered his first meeting with Campbell in the Seventh Avenue offices of Street and Smith, the publishers of Astounding. 'I was eighteen and had arrived with my first story submission, my very first. He had never met me before, but he took me in, talked to me for two hours, read the story that night and mailed the rejection the following day along with a kind, two-page letter telling me where I had gone wrong.'[2] Campbell was both a visionary and a realist. He believed in supernatural power and space travel and rockets and a multiplicity of worlds, but he also fervently believed that science fiction should live up to its name. His writing was studded with extraordinary technical detail explaining how complex machines worked, yet his scientists were always real people with human emotions and foibles. One of what he called his 'pet ideas' was that less than a quarter of the functioning capacity of the brain was used. 'Could the full equipment be hooked into a functioning
