[CTRL] Dangerous Decade
From http://www.newsmax.com/moneynews/preciousmetals.shtml }}Begin Clintons Legacy: The Dangerous Decade Blanchard Economic Research Unit Tuesday September 12, 2000 NEW ORLEANS, L.A., September 12, 2000 (Blanchard Economic Research Unit) When most of us think of financial centers, we think of places like New York, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and perhaps even Washington DC and Silicon Valley. But over the next 10 years there are some place names that may have an even greater affect on your investments. Places like the Taiwan Strait, the Spratly Islands, Pyongyang, Kashmir, the Strait of Hormuz, Kabul, Johannesburg, the West Bank, Chechnya, Bogota, and even outer space. Many Americans have their heads buried in the sand. While they "surf" the internet for the latest online investment craze, trouble is brewing in the world. Trouble is brewing out of sight and out of the minds of Wall Street pundits, Washington politicians, and the so-called "mainstream" news media. Although it may not seem that way now, if you own a home or have any investments, events halfway around the world will have a dramatic impact on your life. The Forgotten Dimension Ask yourself, how will the markets react and what will happen to your investment portfolio if: China launches a ballistic missile strike on Taiwan? North Korea launches a surprise attack on South Korea? India and Pakistan have a nuclear exchange? Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz with a cruise missile strike? South Africa plunges into civil war? Russia becomes dominated by a nationalistic, totalitarian regime? Terrorists conduct a biological warfare attack in a major city? Any one of these events could result in political and economic chaos. The Center for Security Policy and the Blanchard Economic Research Unit have teamed up to create an important publication: Clintons Legacy: The Dangerous Decade. CSPs scholars have identified the threats and the Blanchard Economic Research Unit outlines the economic implications and offer specific portfolio diversification recommendations to help you weather the coming storm. Make no mistake. Turmoil, tensions and even outright war are very real possibilities in the coming years. The Clinton Administration may be nearing an end, but years of neglect of our armed forces and ill-advised foreign policy decisions will haunt us into the 21st century. Our nation better be prepared. And individual investors better be prepared also. Precarious global financial markets could convulse due to political and economic conflict that is simmering below the surface even now. The Center for Security Policy is one of the national security worlds most respected think-tanks: it is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that informs the world about all aspects of national security, notably those policies bearing on the foreign, economic, and financial interests of the United States. Order Clintons Legacy: The Dangerous Decade now and consider it an urgent warning. You get access to this cutting-edge expertise for just $12.95! America Sleeps The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact was supposed to bring an end to the never-ending line of crises that was known as the Cold War. But, unfortunately, the world has only become different, not safer. Meanwhile, the Clinton administration has been asleep at the wheel, allowing America to become vulnerable. The Dangerous Decade explains exactly what threats do exist, threats that the liberal news media is covering up to help Al Gore get into the White House. The world in the next decade will be fraught with uncertainties of new and troubling dimensions. The national security issues facing America are already evident in trends and indicators. How the U.S. responds to these challenges will determine our domestic quality of life as well as world economic and political stability. Specifically, The Dangerous Decade explores 8 challenges to U.S. national security which will severely impact the world economy and financial markets in the years to come: 1.Weapons of Mass Destruction--The Dangerous Decade includes straightforward, in-depth analyses of the Rumsfeld, Cox and Deutch Reports on proliferation issues, as well as the CIA's own recent Intelligence Estimate on nuclear weapons. The spread of weapons of mass destruction--and ballistic missile delivery systems--has already altered the world's security calculus. How will the financial markets react to being potential nuclear hostages to rogue states and madmen like Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il and Moamar Qaddafi? 2.Troubled Behemoths-The Dangerous Decade details how Russia, China, India and Indonesia are all in various stages of change beset with internal factional, ethnic and religious struggles and financial disparities. Together, they make up half of the worlds population. Instability in these nations has implications for the entire world. 3.Drugs, Thugs and Plagues--Narco-states, syndicates and kleptocracies threaten

From http://www.newsmax.com/commentmax/articles/Dr._Michael_S._Brown.shtml }}Begin CommentMax The Radicalization of America's Gun Culture Dr. Michael S. Brown September 13, 2000 Members of the great American gun culture who actively enjoyed their sport and celebrated their firearms heritage were once considered the backbone of America, both for their militarily valuable shooting skills and for their patriotism. Decades of deliberate attacks by politicians and the media have slowly relegated this important group to the status of a subculture that now feels out of place and at war with its own government. Prior to 1934 there were no federal gun control laws. There was only an odd assortment of gun laws in various states and cities which were intended to disarm racial minorities and immigrants. As far as the federal government was concerned, anyone was free to buy a machine gun or even a cannon, and the level of gun crime was relatively low. Since the National Firearms Act was signed into law in 1934, the number of gun control laws at all levels of government have multiplied exponentially. So has the overall crime rate, which some argue is a direct result of gun control laws that discourage self-defense. Although none of these laws reduced crime, each new law creates another way that a well intentioned gun owner can inadvertently end up in prison or ruined by legal costs. Some have been killed in raids by government agents. Much like laws passed to promote the failed war on drugs, each new gun law gives the police additional powers that threaten basic constitutional rights. America's lawful gun owners are painfully aware of these facts. Since gun laws don't reduce crime, they wonder, what is the real purpose? This question has led to numerous theories that attempt to explain why the "ruling elite", which includes the media and many politicians, would want to eliminate civilian gun ownership in America. American gun owners feel as if they are being slowly crushed. One writer recently described this decades-long campaign as a slow motion hate crime. Frustration has been building in the gun culture for thirty years and has been accelerating with the faster pace of anti-gun attacks and the dramatic improvement in communications. Stories of outrageous persecution by government agencies now circulate like wildfire via the internet. Anti-gun bills introduced in any legislature are instantly made known to millions. Gun owners know the major players in the anti-gun lobby as well as they know the villains in their favorite movies. Several successful novels have tapped into this frustration. The best known is "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross. This popular 861 page semi-fictional work details the noble history of the gun culture and how it has been attacked. The hero, Henry Bowman, is a talented engineer, gifted marksman, and gun collector who holds his temper for years in the face of growing bureaucratic oppression. He is finally forced to kill a team of heavily armed federal firearms agents who are planting evidence to incriminate a fellow gun collector. At this point, in the best cowboy tradition, Bowman leads a bloody covert revolution against the "jackbooted thugs" of the federal bureaucracy. Ross uses the old stereotype of the American cowboy who is slow to anger and just wants to be left alone. This highlights the way in which the old fashioned values of the gun culture (truth, honor, tolerance, and personal responsibility) are in conflict with our current government. He also offers a scenario that holds great fascination for many gun owners who pass his book from hand to hand saying, "You've got to read this book." Some observers of this cultural war wonder why large numbers of gun owners have not yet resorted to violence to preserve their way of life. Civil wars have started over less. Almost every gathering of lawful gun owners has a deep undercurrent of anger. They see each new gun law as a way to harass them and make it more difficult for everyone except criminals and the government to own guns. Solid, productive citizens complain bitterly about how good people have been arrested for unintentional violations of the myriad of gun laws. Each wonders if he could be next. Although this group has been involuntarily radicalized, there are several things holding back a violent response. One is the fact that gun owners are a very law abiding group of people. They have a deep faith in the Constitution and are willing to give the political process a chance to balance itself. The second is that leaders of gun rights organizations, such as the NRA, are promising relief through the political system. The third reason is that the leaders of the anti-gun lobby are masters of propaganda and would gleefully exploit any minor incidents to further harm gun rights. It would take a massive wave of violent protests to affect any positive change. Nobody knows if, when or how this group will reach its breaking
[CTRL] Fw: Americans Raped by NAFTA
I apologize for all the arrows. I do not know how to delete them. AKE "Don't Blame The Player, Blame The Game!" by Environment News Service 6:00 a.m. Sep. 12, 2000 PDT WASHINGTON, DC -- An international tribunal has begun considering a claim that the United States must pay a foreign investor almost $1 billion because of a California measure to prevent water contamination. The Canadian challenger, Methanex Corporation, has argued that a plan to remove the toxic chemical MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) from California's gasoline violates the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This is where some foreign court which cares zip about our laws, will decide what California can or cannot do! Thank you "Traitor Bill" "Al Whore". Thats' lookin' out for your country! Methanex is a major producer of methanol, one key component of MTBE. Methanex claims that under NAFTA, it is owed $970 million in profits it will lose if California bans MTBE. Methanex has sued under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, a clause intended to protect foreign investors when they sink money into projects in NAFTA member countries, including the United States, Canada and Mexico. In this case, Canadian Methanex says an environmental law passed by a U.S. state would cost the company millions in lost profits. "The Methanex case is a clear illustration of one of NAFTA's most serious environmental flaws," said Martin Wagner, attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice. "Methanex's claim is tantamount to extortion, because they are demanding almost a billion dollars if California insists on keeping its drinking water free of toxic contaminants." California Governor Gray Davis ordered the MTBE phase-out by 2003 after studies showed that the additive may cause cancer as well as neurological, dermatological and other problems in humans. Leaks of MTBE from cars, boats and underground storage tanks are threatening serious contamination of California's water supplies. Several other states have banned or proposed banning MTBE, and the federal government is considering a nationwide ban. After months of intense negotiations, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee voted Thursday to ban MTBE across the United States. "Methanex and other investors are claiming that NAFTA requires governments to pay polluters not to pollute," said David Schorr, director of World Wildlife Fund's Sustainable Commerce Program. "Something is seriously wrong with the way the NAFTA investment chapter is working." Environmental groups sent a letter to the U.S. government on Friday, demanding that the U.S. prevent deliberations on the dispute from harming the environment. The letter also demands that the U.S. "vigorously support" the right of citizens to be heard. Under NAFTA, arbitration tribunals are modeled after private commercial arbitrations: They are held behind closed doors, with no avenues for the public to participate and observe. Two environmental groups have formally requested that the arbitrators agree to consider briefs they intend to submit. Methanex is opposing these requests, while the U.S. government has so far refused to clarify its position. "Serious questions of public policy and constitutional law are being decided in secret," said David Waskow, trade director at Friends of the Earth. "These NAFTA provisions are badly slanted in favor of providing access for multinational corporations, while shutting out ordinary citizens and local communities." Environmental groups say there is reason to fear that Methanex's challenge may succeed. In a similar case decided earlier this month, an international arbitration tribunal ordered Mexico to pay $16.6 million to a California company, Metalclad, after the Mexican state and municipal governments refused to permit the company to operate a hazardous waste facility near local residences. Metalclad built the hazardous waste facility after getting permits from the Mexican federal government. But the governments of the state and city of Aguascalientes refused to permit the facility to open or operate, leaving the property standing vacant for years. Metalclad wanted its money back. The NAFTA arbitrators considered the city's refusal to allow the plant to operate -- based on opposition to the project by local residents and concerns that the facility would cause environmental harm -- a violation of NAFTA's requirement of "fair and equitable treatment." The tribunal also found that the state government had violated NAFTA by declaring the area around the waste facility site an ecological zone in which potentially polluting activities are prohibited to protect rare cactus. The measure meant the facility could not operate there. In a U.S. court, the Metalclad challenge would have failed. Under

Actually Capital Cities has long been a CIA front company, so the merger placed Disney squarely within the CIA ranks, although it had been in bed with them for the CIA's entire history. The Illuminati-controlled corporations of Coca-Cola and the drug firm Johnson and Johnson became sponsors for Disney's early TV shows.

American Cancer Society (ACS) In the fall of 1996 a new scientific paper dealing with a meta-analysis of 23 different scientific studies on the relationship between first-trimester abortions and breast cancer was published in a British medical journal. That study clearly demonstrated a higher incidence of breast cancer in women who had had first-trimester abortions. In response to that publication, the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and pro-abortion/population-control advocates joined together in an unholy alliance to attack the conclusions of the authors, and to block all efforts to disseminate that information to American physicians. All of the organizations mentioned above continue to oppose efforts to have physicians warn women of the risk they face when they submit themselves to first-trimester abortions. Before carrying out all surgical procedures in America "advised consent" is required, except for abortion.

[CTRL] WSJ: The Strange Politics Of Holocaust Restitution
From: http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB968811511846448251.htm "Why are the Bronfmans stumping for Hillary when Lazio has done more for their cause?" September 13, 2000 The Strange Politics Of Holocaust Restitution By Seth Lipsky, a Journal contributing editor. He writes a column every Wednesday for OpinionJournal.com. The little band of demonstrators outside New York's Pierre Hotel Monday evening was shouting "One two three four, Show Hill-ar-y-the-door" and holding up signs for "One Jerusalem." Inside were gathering -- at the invitation of the World Jewish Congress -- a glittering array of leaders of the Jewish community, as well as their financial backers. They were there to honor the politicians from home and abroad who have played a role in pressing Jewish claims for restitution of property stolen and lives ruined during the Holocaust. But behind the facade I sensed a real unease about the evening -- and about the juncture the restitution movement has reached. Part of it had to do with the rank politicization of the event, which stemmed from the decision of the president of the World Jewish Congress, Edgar Bronfman, to bring not only the president but the first lady to be honored. Mr. Bronfman is an important adviser to Mrs. Clinton's senate campaign. Her opponent, Rep. Rick Lazio, was pointedly not invited to the dinner, even though he played a real role in passing legislation in support of the restitution effort. Mr. Bronfman's son, Edgar Jr., announced he was exercising a point of personal privilege, then turned and said, "President and Mrs. Clinton, thank you for these past eight years." He added that he looked forward to working with "President Gore and Senator Clinton." It was an error of judgment that caused a number of people in the room to wince. The elder Mr. Bronfman explained his decision to include Mrs. Clinton by disclosing that he had used a 1996 meeting with her at a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee to try to gain access to the president on the subject of Holocaust restitution. She responded by saying, "Edgar, is there a chance that we can get at the Swiss banks?" She arranged a meeting with Mr. Clinton for the next day. The president, according to the senior Mr. Bronfman, inquired about the involvement of then-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato of New York, a Republican, and asked Mr. Bronfman to tell Mr. D'Amato that Mr. Clinton was prepared to work with him on the restitution campaign. One can take that as a willingness to rise above politics or, as so many are given to do in the wake of the Clinton-Gore presidency, as an effort in an election year to deflect the congressional investigation into Whitewater, an investigation in which Mr. D'Amato played a key role. In any event, Mr. Clinton proved to be an attentive figure in the fight. The unease in the room ran deeper than American politics, to themes that were aired on the eve of the banquet in a courageous article in the September issue of Commentary, "Holocaust Reparations -- A Growing Scandal" by Gabriel Schoenfeld. Mr. Schoenfeld quotes columnist Charles Krauthammer as saying he is worried about what he terms a "grotesque scramble for money" whose only certain result is the "revival of Shylockian stereotypes." And he quotes the Anti-Defamation League's Abraham Foxman, who has voiced his fear that people may be led to believe "that the Jews died not because they were Jews, but because they had bank accounts, gold, art and property." No one suggests that Jews -- or any organization on behalf of Jewish individuals or estates -- should be shy about pressing any claim stemming from the Holocaust. I have come to the view that neither should they worry much about the consequences. Jews have long since learned that those in Europe, or elsewhere, who will be put off by the pressing of such claims are not going to be mollified by restrained behavior. Anti-Semitism is not, and has never been, a function of Jewish behavior. But Mr. Schoenfeld raised, more pointedly than most others, the problem presented by class-action lawsuits. He cites the highest-profile of the class-action lawyers, Edward Fagan, and reports that in the Swiss settlement he claimed an hourly fee of $640, higher than the average annual pension that Holocaust survivors receive from the German government. Mr. Fagan disputes the $640 figure, saying he's billing $295. But whatever the details of the matter, there can be no doubt the American tort system provides enormous temptations that must be difficult to resist. And unfortunately, the entry of the class action lawyers into the Holocaust restitution fray has elided the distinction between restitution, meaning the return of a measure of individual property, and reparations, a word that connotes repair, which is impossible. Serious as these questions are -- and in my soundings I find a lively appreciation for the sentiments voiced by Messrs. Foxman, Krauthammer and Schoenfeld -- there are still
[CTRL] AP: Cheney makes $18 million on sale of oil stock
Cheney makes $18 million on sale of oil stock The Associated Press WASHINGTON (September 13, 2000 10:31 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney made $18.3 million in profit on the sale of 660,000 shares of Halliburton Co. stock in late August, his spokesman said. It was a standard divestiture of securities, and not connected to the election, spokesman Dirk Vande Beek said. Cheney retired as chief executive of Halliburton, an oil services company based in Dallas, shortly after being chosen as running mate by GOP presidential nominee George W. Bush. "These were already vested options, and he cashed them in," Vande Beek said. Cheney recently announced that, if elected, he would forfeit other Halliburton stock options that wouldn't be vested until after he took office. On the campaign trail Wednesday, Cheney was promoting policies to help save family farms at a stop in Montague, Mich. He also planned to visit former President Ford, who suffered a minor stroke during the Republican National Convention. The shares Cheney sold in August were valued at about $35 million, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In June, Cheney sold 100,000 shares for an estimated $5.1 million. Cheney said Sept. 1 that, if elected, he would forfeit 233,333 options that could not be sold until 2001 or later to avoid a conflict of interest. = 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.

MORE SLA SOLDIERS LEAVE ***SPECIAL OSLO ANNIVERSARY INSERT: Interviews with Oslo architect Ron Pundak and Elyakim Ha'etzni 1. ISRAELI-ARAB CELLS UNCOVERED The General Security Service has uncovered two major Israeli-Arab cells planning violence against Israeli targets. Some 45 Israeli-Arabs were arrested, most of them from the city of Um el-Fahm, in what is known as the Triangle, between Hadera and Afula. Northern Police Chief Alik Ron said that this was the biggest Israeli-Arab cell uncovered in over ten years, and that it has ties with the Islamic Movement. The group had targeted Palestinians "collaborators" with Israel. Some of the cell members are accused of setting fire to the barber-shop of a suspected collaborator, trained with home-made weapons, and posted hundreds of posters threatening to murder collaborators if they do not reveal themselves within a month. Yediot Acharonot Arab-affairs commentator Roni Shaked wrote today, "The organizing [into cells] of dozens of people planning to harm national security is no longer 'wild weeds...' It is most definitely a worrisome phenomenon. Again these are Islamic Movement members and again in Um el-Fahm... It is doubly worrisome because this was not a Hamas or Islamic Jihad initiative, but rather a home-grown initiative from among Israeli-Arabs. True, the first-stage targets were collaborators, but it is reasonable to assume that if the GSS and the police had not caught them, the next stage would have been Israeli [Jewish] targets." In a related story, the police will investigate Arab MK Muhammad Barakeh for "incitement against the State and policemen in front of large crowds." Barakeh said in response that Ron is an "anti-Arab racist," but Ron was backed by Police Commissioner Yehuda Wilk, who called him an "excellent officer, who is not a racist against Arabs." Attorney-General Elyakim Rubenstein gave his approval this afternoon for the opening of the police investigation against Barakeh. This past May, hundreds of Israeli-Arabs rioted and clashed violently with police in the northern city of Shfar'am, and in other places, waving PLO flags and throwing stones. Shfar'am Mayor Orsan Yassin told Arutz-7 at the time, "We here in Shfar'am are really moderates; the rioters were mostly students brought here by MKs Mohammed Barakeh and Issam Mahoul." Speaking at a rally in the PA city of Kalkilye last November, Barakeh said that Israel is attempting to carry out "ethnic cleansing like Nazi Germany," and that killings are the "truth of the truth of the Zionist idea." 2. POLITICAL STALEMATE With the dimming of the lights on the Palestinian-negotiations stage, attention now turns to the domestic political front. The Likud now admits that it cannot find the 61st Knesset vote to topple the government; David and Maxim Levy apparently refuse to support a no-confidence motion sponsored by their former party, the Likud. On the other hand, the opposition feels it can garner support for the dissolution of the Knesset and for new elections. Likud Knesset faction head Ruby Rivlin expressed confidence today: "The government has until Jan. 1 to pass a budget, but it will not be able to do so, because Barak has no majority in the Knesset. The previous year's budget is then allowed to run for three months, but if by Mar. 31, Barak still does not have a budget, this automatically means new elections." Barak sees the situation a bit differently. Admitting that he has no Knesset majority for his concessions to the Palestinians, he now plans to try to form a minority, secular government. It would contain 50 MKs - One Israel (24), Meretz (10), Shinui (6), Center (6), and two smaller parties - and rely on the outside support of the 10 Arab MKs. He may not enjoy as wide left-wing support as he presumes, however, as leading left-wing politicians have recently publicly criticized what they perceive as his contradictory policies on religious-secular issues. MK Ran Cohen (Meretz), for instance, said today that "Barak promises a civil revolution on the one hand, but enacts the Tal Committee recommendations [allowing military exemptions for yeshiva students] on the other. What is this?!" His party colleague MK Zahava Gal'on said that Meretz would have to consider carefully whether to support Barak's "policy of zigzags." Labor party officials are concerned on another front, as well: Internal polls show that if elections were held today, the party would receive only 20 Knesset seats. Labor, in its current format of One Israel, won 26 seats in last year's election; it won 34 seats in the 1996 election, and

THE MONEY, MEDIA, AND LIBERAL-LEFT ROLE IN PLUTOCRATIC
ELECTIONS
By Edward S. Herman
In many ways the system is working beautifully right now.
First of all, money dominates the initial selection and
weeding out of presidential candidates, so that only those
who will serve the corporate interest on the
basics--advancing "free trade," keeping the lid on or
shrinking the welfare state, and preserving and
strengthening the military establishment and pursuing the
ongoing imperial strategies--can qualify as credible and
electable. While there is a fair amount of grumbling about
soft and hard money and the essentiality of big bucks for
election status, the mainstream media normalize this and
accept the process as entirely legitimate. And the public,
or at least half of the public, also goes along and
participates with their vote.
As part of the normalization process the media argue
vociferously that the two candidates on the take offer
adequate options, have sufficient and important differences,
so that nobody else even needs to be heard by the public.
The New York Times made the first point in its editorial of
August 20 ("Two Visions of Government"), where it contested
Ralph Nader's claim that there are no meaningful differences
between Gore and Bush, arguing that there are "measurable
differences" on how to deploy federal resources that "may
not be enough to satisfy Mr. Nader's aggressively populist
inclinations, but if the election were held now, they would
give the voters a real choice." So if the editors are
satisfied with the choices offered by Gore and Bush, the
general public should be as well; no "aggressive populism"
need enter the lists. (I wonder if there is such a thing as
an "aggressive centrism," or an "aggressively pro-corporate
agenda"?)
The Times has supported this position by completely
marginalizing Nader (and Buchanan as well), refusing to
allow him to make his case while inundating its readers with
trivia on the money-election candidates. Effectively, they
declared Nader's candidacy illegitimate and by their fiat
ruled him out of contention. Then in its editorial of August
22 ("Stop Arguing and Start Debating"), after having refused
to allow Nader to make his substantive case and develop any
constituency, the paper justified Nader's and Buchanan's
exclusion from the debates on the ground that they had no
"demonstrated national support"! This is a remarkable
combination of media authoritarianism and chutzpah.
Of course, the rest of the mainstream media did the same as
the Times, producing a self-fulfilling prophecy of lack of
mass support by marginalization and some degree of trashing.
In the abysmal Philadelphia Inquirer, their chief election
commentator Larry Eichel finally devoted a column to Nader
entitled: "The bench is the key," with subtitle "Democrats
call Ralph Nader 'dishonest' for discounting the Supreme
Court as an election issue." Eichel himself had never
discussed Supreme Court appointments as a key issue or
indicated any dissatisfaction with a Bush win in this
regard, but for the sake of disposing of Nader he
effectively turns his column over to Gore protagonists to
make what they believe is their strongest case against
Nader, with no Nader right to reply. Nader is not only
declared to be wrong, he is "dishonest" for disagreeing with
a Gore support position. (The last time Eichel was
strenuously upset over election candidates was back in
1987-1988, when the populist threat of Jesse Jackson caused
him to depart from his usual focus on horse-racing and take
some nasty swipes at that earlier deviant.)
But the beauty of the system is most manifest in the
reaction of liberals and leftists to the monied versus
principled and populist candidates. It is an all-or-nothing
election, and there is always the argument for the
Democratic lesser evil, so in each election we see vast
liberal-left abandonment of the principled and populist in
favor of the lesser evil. As with the media's process we
have another contribution to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Remember the allegation that business corporations have too
short a time horizon? Could this not be said of the liberals
and leftists who jump on the lesser evil bandwagon? Maybe
this is a national trait.
A number of liberals and leftists have argued vigorously
that a vote for Nader is virtually immoral, given the
differences between Gore and Bush and the costs of a wasted
vote. But the counter-immorality position seems to me more
potent: a classic moral rule laid down by Immanuel Kant was
his
[CTRL] A law allowing the cops to break the law.
http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSLaw0009/14_law.html Lawyers wary of proposal Suggestion cops be allowed to break laws met with reservations By DOUG BEAZLEY -- Edmonton Sun EDMONTON -- A federal proposal to give cops leeway to break the law - and even commit violent acts - to bolster investigations is getting nervous looks from the legal community. A Justice Canada white paper being shopped around provincial governments and police forces suggests cops be empowered to commit crimes ranging from drug trafficking to violent assaults, if they believe they need to in order to pursue an investigation. "The question we want to ask here is, why?" said lawyer Stephen Jenuth, head of the Alberta Civil Liberties Association. "There are provisions in the law now to allow officers to do things like sell drugs. Why is the government pursuing such sweeping powers all of a sudden?" The white paper deals mostly with undercover police operations and drug stings. The paper says "intentional use of force" outside of the law wouldn't be permitted except in special circumstances - such as a situation where an undercover cop uses violence to prevent another undercover cop from being exposed or to protect evidence. "Say a cop wants to infiltrate a biker group and they ask him to, for instance, go beat up Stephen Jenuth," said Jenuth. "He could make a mistake and end up killing me, I guess." Actually, the white paper says the liability shield would not cover the commission of sexual offences or assaults leading to "grievous bodily harm" or death. And a senior lawyer with Justice Canada said the shield probably wouldn't cover undercover cops committing assaults simply to prove they're not cops. "The officer would be expected to find another way," said Michael Zigayer. The special liability protection proposed by the paper would kick in when the officer got clearance from a "senior law enforcement official" designated by the Crown. But in cases where communication with that senior officer isn't possible, the cop could make a field decision to go ahead and do the crime. "It's a slippery slope, and one never knows what's at the bottom of it," said local criminal lawyer Robbie Davidson. "I can't see how this is justified." Const. Grant Obst can. The head of the Canadian Police Association said police need to be able to bend the rules occasionally in order to fight organized crime. "There are situations where we're better equipped to infiltrate criminal organizations if we're able to ... compromise the law in certain situations," he said. And Zigayer said the white paper policy wouldn't protect a cop if a subsequent criminal trial found he went too far. "The officer would face prosecution for the crime, and the evidence he gathered would be thrown out," he said. An Alberta Justice spokesman, meanwhile, said the department has "reservations" about the use-of-force provision. He wouldn't elaborate. The lawyers, justice ministers and police will get their chance to critique the paper Oct. 5 when the feds hold a special round table on their proposals.

McCoy and Linda K. Harris INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS The cold war is long over but Pennsylvania State Police were still on the lookout for communists and Soviet sympathizers among the demonstrators protesting last month's Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. In state police affidavits justifying a raid on a West Philadelphia warehouse used by convention protesters, troopers alleged that communists were behind the demonstrations. "Funds allegedly originate with Communist and leftist parties and from sympathetic trade unions," the state police declared in the affidavits. "Other funds reportedly come from the former Soviet-allied World Federation of Trade Unions." The language left critics, including demonstrators and civil-liberties lawyers, both a little amused and a lot indignant. They said it seemed like something out of a musty red-baiting periodical of the 1950s - Red Channels and the like. The allegations - passed to state police by a private group funded by conservative multimillionaire Richard Mellon Scaife - did not belong in government affidavits seeking judicial approval for a search warrant that led to 75 arrests, they said. "It's McCarthyite. It's tarring people," said David Kairys, a law professor at Temple University. "It's reminiscent of the worst of the '50s." The allegations of communist money made up only a small part of the 23-page affidavits in support of search warrants for three vehicles and the warehouse, at 4100 Haverford Ave. The affidavits, made public Wednesday after having been sealed for more than a month, relied most heavily on the direct observations of undercover troopers who infiltrated the warehouse. Known as "the puppet warehouse," police called it a center of illegal activity; activists said it was a workshop in which they made more than 100 puppets and a large satirical float, "Corpzilla." The documents were the first public acknowledgement that police had infiltrated groups planning to protest during last month's Republican National Convention. Without elaboration, the affidavits stated that the allegations of communist funding had come from the little-known Maldon Institute. Asked last week about the Maldon Institute, Jack Lewis, a state police spokesman, seemed a little unsure. "Our people said they believed this institute is based in the United Kingdom," he said. The Maldon Institute - named after an obscure battle in England in the 10th century - is based in Baltimore and has a mailing address in Washington, D.C. Lewis added: "I'm told by our intelligence people that the Maldon Institute is a private organization that provides intelligence information to police departments. "We have found in the past that the Maldon Institute generally presents reliable information." Lewis said that state police and other police departments "routinely receive information from the Maldon Institute at no cost, via e-mail. The department did not solicit this information." Asked whether state police had attended Maldon Institute conferences, Lewis responded: "State police personnel have had contact in the U.S. with representatives of the institute." According to public records, the institute is funded, at least in part, by Scaife, the Pittsburgh political philanthropist best known for his financial support of several private investigations of President Clinton in recent years. Financial forms for Scaife's Carthage Foundation show it provided Maldon with $250,000 in 1998. Institute documents show that board members have included D. James Kennedy, a Florida televangelist who is cofounder of the

Careers are ruined, and still no one knows how China obtained nuclear secrets. By BOB DROGIN, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON--Early last year, Wen Ho Lee walked from his cluttered sixth-floor office at the Los Alamos National Laboratory down to a first-floor conference room. A fellow nuclear weapon scientist and two FBI agents then grilled him until nearly nightfall. In halting English, the Taiwan-born Lee repeatedly denied--as he had in 19 previous sessions with the FBI--that he ever gave design secrets about America's most sophisticated nuclear warhead to China or anyone else. "At the end, everyone was convinced he was not a spy," recalled Robert Vrooman, then head of counterintelligence at Los Alamos, who listened to the previously undisclosed meeting from another room. "We all concluded there was no evidence. We figured we'd put this puppy to bed." But the next day, an FBI agent with the unlikely name of Carol Covert was called into the bureau's Santa Fe, N.M., office and ordered to take a special FBI crash course in "hostile interviews." A day later, Covert and fellow FBI agent John Podenko sat across from Lee. They said--falsely--that Lee had failed a polygraph test. Then they angrily warned him that, unless he cooperated, he might never see his children again and could be "electrocuted." Finally, the two agents pulled out a piece of paper and demanded that Lee sign a full confession of espionage--a crime that carries the death penalty--without a lawyer present. Lee had not even retained a lawyer at the time. "Poor bastard, he didn't understand," said an official who has seen the FBI-drafted confession. "He kept crossing things out and trying to correct it. He was trying to help them. He still didn't get what was happening." Lee learned soon enough. He was fired from Los Alamos the next day, March 8, 1999, and news accounts branded him the "spy of the century." The shy scientist, an expert in the arcane physics of fluid dynamics and the elegant art of Chinese cooking, soon became ensnared in a legal and political nightmare. Lee, now 60, has spent the last 277 days in jail, under conditions usually reserved for convicted terrorists or spies. He hopes to go home today if his lawyers and federal prosecutors can agree during a scheduled court hearing in Albuquerque on a proposed plea arrangement. He would plead guilty to one felony charge under the deal, which would bring an embarrassing close to one of the most important national security cases since the Cold War. Why did the government proceed with what now appears a seriously flawed prosecution? Not all the answers are known. But investigators' zeal to catch a spy, fueled by sensational press reports, near-hysteria by some members of Congress and a U.S. attorney in New Mexico who sought to secure an indictment before he retired to run for Congress created a structure that was shaky from the start--and that quickly began to crumble. What is clear is that in the wake of the inquiry, morale at the lab is a shambles, careers and lives have been ruined and the government is no closer today than when it started in determining how China obtained secrets on U.S. nuclear weapons. Case Stems From Warhead Inquiry The case began in 1996 as "Kindred Spirit," a three-year FBI investigation into China's alleged theft of America's W-88 warhead secrets from Los Alamos. Last year, when no such evidence was found linking Lee or Los Alamos to Chinese espionage, a new inquiry--ironically code-named "Sea Change"--was launched. The result: Lee was indicted on 59 charges and arrested last Dec. 10 for allegedly transferring top-secret nuclear weapon data to unsecured computers and portable tapes at Los Alamos. Thirty-nine of the charges, all carrying life sentences, alleged that Lee acted with intent to harm the United States and to aid a foreign power. Seven of the tapes could not be located, despite what the FBI said was one of the largest searches in its history. Lee's lawyers claimed that he destroyed the tapes but offered no proof. Problems quickly arose in the FBI inquiry. The weapon data were not formally classified when Lee copied them. Even now, the material is classified "secret restricted data," which means under Energy Department regulations that it may be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service. And many senior scientists openly dispute the government's contention

Dr Asaf Durakovic will tell a conference of eminent nuclear scientists in Paris that "tens of thousands" of British and American soldiers are dying from radiation from depleted uranium (DU) shells fired during the Gulf war. The findings will undermine the British and American governments' claims that Gulf war syndrome does not exist and intensify pressure from veterans on both sides of the Atlantic for compensation. Durakovic, who is professor of nuclear medicine at Georgetown University, Washington, and the former head of nuclear medicine at the US Army's veterans' affairs medical facility in Delaware, will tell the conference that he and his team of American and Canadian scientists have discovered life-threateningly high levels of DU in Gulf veterans 10 years after the desert war. His findings, which have been verified by four independent experts, is embarrassing for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and American Defence Department, which have consistently refused to test Gulf war veterans for DU. Durakovic will tell the European Association of Nuclear Medicine that tests on 17 veterans have shown DU in the urine and bones of 70% of them. Depleted uranium does not occur naturally. SNIP Durakovic said: "I doubt whether the MoD or Pentagon will have the audacity to challenge these results. I can't say this is the solitary cause of Gulf war syndrome, but we now have clear evidence that it is a leading factor in the majority of victims. "I hope the US and UK governments finally realise that, by continuing to use this ammunition, they are effectively poisoning their own soldiers." An MoD spokesman said it would study any new evidence: "Our aim is to get the best care for British veterans and our views are based on the best evidence around."

[CTRL] Norplant maker urges use of backup
Title: Norplant maker urges use of backup Norplant maker urges use of backup Company offers to fund alternative contraceptionfor thousands of women Norplant consists of six matchstick-size capsules implanted in the upper arm that are supposed to prevent pregnancy for five years. MSNBC NEWS SERVICES Sept. 13 The maker of the Norplant contraceptive will pay for thousands of women with the birth-control implant to buy backup contraception because it cannot guarantee the effectiveness of certain Norplant batches. Post your views on MSNBC's Health Bulletin Board Wyeth-Ayerst said it will pay $100 toward the cost of backup birth control and offered to reimburse women $700 if they choose to have the implant removed. IN A STRONGLY worded warning Wednesday, Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, a unit of American Home Products Corp., urged women who have received Norplant since Oct. 20 to use a nonhormone form of birth control such as condoms or a diaphragm as a backup. The company also asked doctors to check their records and notify these Norplant recipients. The caution was stronger than the companys advice last month, when it asked physicians to stop implanting the suspect kits and consider recommending backup birth control for women who were especially worried about getting pregnant. Wyeth-Ayerst spokeswoman Audrey Ashby said the company issued the new advice because officials had thought they would have completed tests on the suspect Norplant batches by now. Full test results are now expected by the end of October. We want information to be provided to health-care providers and also to patients that they should use a backup barrier or other nonhormonal birth control in the meantime, Ashby said. The contraceptive effectiveness from Norplant from these specific lots cannot be assured at this time. Wyeth-Ayerst did not recall the questionable Norplant, stressing that tests so far have not proved that the batches contain hormone levels so low as to truly risk pregnancy. The company said it wanted to err on the side of caution. Click here for Quotes The company said it will pay $100 toward the cost of backup birth control and offered to reimburse women $700 if they choose to have the implant removed. The aim here is to do the right thing for people, recognizing there are still unanswered questions but saying we dont want people to be unduly anxious and we dont want them to be out of pocket, said Dr. Philip de Vane, Wyeth-Ayersts assistant medical director. Laboratory testing suggests about 22,000 Norplant kits shipped to doctors on Oct. 20, with the expiration date 2004, may release less contraceptive hormone than they should. Most of those kits were already implanted. Although the hormone levels are within the Food and Drug Administrations requirements, they are on the low end and lower than any other batches of Norplant. Source: The Associated Press Additional testing due by the end of next month may prove whether the questionable Norplants hormone levels are too low to work properly. The FDA said it has no reports that pregnancy rates have increased among Norplant users. The agency said the companys decision to warn women about backup birth control was appropriate. The FDA advised women who had Norplant inserted since Oct. 20 to call their doctors about backup birth control. Norplant recipients should not use hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills or injected contraceptives but should consider condoms, spermicide, a diaphragm or an IUD, or intrauterine

[CTRL] Study HIV not tied to polio vaccine
Title: Study: HIV not tied to polio vaccine Study: HIV not tied to polio vaccine Tests find no evidence to support controversial theory ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON, Sept. 11 Independent laboratory tests have found no evidence to support the theory that an experimental polio vaccine used on about 1 million Africans in the 1950s inadvertently triggered the AIDS epidemic. The findings, presented Monday at a conference at the Royal Society in London, found no evidence that the vaccine, administered between 1957 and 1961, contained any tissue from chimpanzees. Post your views on MSNBC's Health Bulletin Board Does this definitively rule out the vaccine theory? No, but it makes it more unlikely. CLAUDIO BASILICONYU School of Medicine SCIENTISTS BELIEVE that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, most probably originates from the type of SIV, or simian immunodeficiency virus, found in chimpanzees in western central Africa. But they dont know how or when the chimp virus got into humans. The prevailing theory is that a hunter became infected after being scratched by a chimp when trying to capture it or after cutting himself while butchering the animal. However, some experts suspect that polio vaccine made with contaminated chimpanzee cells may have been the culprit. In the latest tests, samples of four different supplies of the vaccine, including some used in the African immunization program, were tested for traces of genetic material from animals. Two laboratories found the samples they tested were made using monkey tissue, but they found no chimp DNA, said Claudio Basilico, chairman of the microbiology department at New York University School of Medicine. Basilico chaired a committee set up by the vaccines maker, the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, to investigate claims that chimp tissue might have been used. Does this definitively rule out the vaccine theory? No, but it makes it more unlikely, Basilico said. He said record-keeping was sketchy at the time and that there may have been other samples not tested that were used in Africa. The tests were also designed to find traces of SIV and found none. But that may not be important, Basilico said, because the virus could have died out after 40 years in a freezer. RESULTS DISPUTED The findings by the Max-Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, and the Pasteur Institute in Paris did not dampen the views of Edward Hooper, chief proponent of the polio vaccine theory. Hooper contended in a 1999 book, The River, that the Wistar Institute scientists might have used chimp kidneys contaminated with the virus to make some batches of the vaccine. This means nothing at all for the polio vaccine theory because different batches were prepared, Hooper said, adding that other, untested or missing batches might have yielded different results. Two scientists who conducted the African vaccine trials denied any chimpanzee tissue was used to make the vaccine and branded Hoopers theory a fantasy. We never used chimp kidneys, said Dr. Hilary Koprowski, who developed the vaccine. I was there in 1957, and the author (Hooper) was not. I was working in the Wistar laboratory from 1957 to 1961 and I never saw or heard of chimpanzee cells being used, added Dr. Stanley Plotkin, now a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

Don't ask Gore, he was too busy drinking ice tea. Why did we nuke Russia? Don't ask Gore: no one told him it was a launch button. Vice President Al Gore and the chairman of the Democratic National Committee sought a $100,000 donation from a wealthy Texas lawyer in 1995 after promising that President Clinton would veto a bill limiting damage awards in product-liability cases. According to documents obtained by The Washington Times, the requests came in separate telephone calls by Mr. Gore on Nov. 30, 1995, and by DNC Chairman Donald L. Fowler on Dec. 13, 1995, to lawyer Walter Umphrey, senior partner at the Beaumont, Texas, law firm of Provost Umphrey. In a telephone call sheet prepared for the vice president by the DNC, Mr. Gore was instructed to ask Mr. Umphrey for $100,000 for the DNC's media fund. A call sheet prepared by the DNC two weeks later for Mr. Fowler suggests the vice president did not reach his intended target. Two weeks later, the DNC chairman received a similar directive to ask Mr. Umphrey for cash. "Sorry you missed the Vice President. I know [you] will give $100k when the President vetoes tort reform, but we really need it now. Please send ASAP if possible," the sheet says under "reason for call." The Justice Department's campaign-finance task force has opened a preliminary investigation into the solicitation and the activities of Mr. Gore and others. The probe was ordered by task force chief Robert J. Conrad Jr. Gore officials responded obliquely when asked about the documents. "The Republicans and others have had this for more than 1,000 days and no one found it interesting until 1,000 hours before the election. Curious, isn't it?" said James Kennedy, director of communications for the vice president's office. Mr. Kennedy declined to answer questions on whether there was a quid pro quo involved in soliciting campaign contributions from a lawyer who wanted tort reform vetoed. Gore campaign spokesman Chris Lehane, asked last night by The Washington Times about the call sheets, dismissed the matter as "recycled partisan charges." White House Deputy Press Secretary Jake Siewert said he did not "know enough of the facts" to answer specific questions about the call sheets. But he insisted Mr. Clinton "vetoed the tort reform bill because it was deeply flawed, not because of any" quid pro quo. "We had a bill two years ago that we would have signed in a heartbeat that we thought was balanced and fair," Mr. Siewert added. "But Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott rejected it." In the months after the president's veto, Mr. Umphrey contributed more than $42,000 to the party. In the four years since, he and his firm have donated more than $700,000 to the Democratic Party, according to federal election records. Mr. Umphrey, who specializes in personal-injury cases for labor unions, could not be reached last night for comment. Mr. Fowler, who now runs a South Carolina communications firm, also was unavailable. On May 2, 1996, Mr. Clinton vetoed the Common Sense Liability Reform Act, which had passed in the House, 259-158, and the Senate, 61-37. Among other things, the bill would have given defendants protection against damages for harm due to the plaintiff's own use of drugs or alcohol; reduced manufacturers' liability; required plaintiffs to prove the harm they suffered was the result of gross negligence or intentional conduct; and limited punitive damage awards. After the Clinton veto, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, now the Democratic vice presidential candidate, expressed deep frustration with the action. In a Wall Street Journal interview that year, the Connecticut Democrat described trial lawyers as "a small group of people who are deeply invested in the status quo, who have worked the system very effectiviely and have a disproportionate effect." Mr. Umphrey's law firm donated $30,000 to the DNC on July 17, 1996, and $10,000 to the DNC on Nov. 13, 1996, according to federal Election Commission records. The firm had given $7,500 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on April 30, 1996 two days before the Clinton veto. The Gore telephone solicitation was scheduled two days after the vice president had attended a Nov. 28, 1995, fund-raiser at the Beaumont, Texas, home of lawyer John Eddie Williams, who also has been described as a Democratic Party campaign contributor. Mr. Umphrey also attended the Beaumont event. Mr. Gore's call also followed by nine days a Nov. 21, 1995, meeting at the White House attended by Mr. Gore and Mr. Clinton, where DNC and Clinton-Gore Re-election 1996 Campaign officials discussed a split of soft- and hard-money donations. Notes from the meeting confirm that Mr. Gore was present when campaign officials discussed how soft money he sought would be diverted

The museum that housed the £100,000 Second World War cipher device has received a mysterious letter from someone offering to return it in exchange for £10,000. But the letter, typed on a wartime typewriter, is written in such an unusual style - and signed with a word that does not exist in the English dictionary - that police are convinced that it holds the clues to the machine's whereabouts. Now they want to open negotiations with the author. The Enigma machine was used by German military intelligence, the Abwehr, for ultra secret communications between the Nazi high command. It was stolen from a glass display case at the Buckinghamshire museum during an open day on April 1. At least four people were involved in the raid, which police say could not have succeeded without expert inside knowledge of both Bletchley Park and the Enigma machine. Police have taken hundreds of finger-prints from museum visitors, questioned staff in detail and conducted an extensive search of the building and grounds. Detective Chief Inspector Simon Chesterman described the letter, sent last week, as "the most significant development in the investigation". One sentence reads: "I have been asked by the current owner the above Enigma machine, who purchased it in good faith (in good faith being the operative word) to say and tell you now today, the unwitting person having no ultimate desire of depraving your august self or anyone the pleasure to see it again." Police have refused to reveal the unusual word which appears at the end of the letter. The main clue to the letter's authenticity is a photographed copy of the unique number plate, G312, which was attached to the stolen machine. Expert codebreakers are now studying the letter, which purports to come from a middle man representing someone who innocently bought the Enigma machine, not realising that it had been stolen, and who now wants to return it in exchange for compensation equal to the sum paid and immunity from prosecution. Mr Chesterman said yesterday that the police were willing to deal with the author as the letter requested.

from: alt.conspiracy - Click Here: A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:641703"Global Financial Collapse beginning/A - Subject: Global Financial Collapse beginning From: "Eric Vincent Rodgers" A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"ericvrod [EMAIL PROTECTED]/A Date: Wed, Sep 13, 2000 10:20 AM Message-id: 8pociv$ct3$[EMAIL PROTECTED] Panic buyers start to strip supermarkets By Sandra Barwick PANIC buyers who had helped to drain thousands of filling stations across the country turned their attention to supermarkets yesterday and began to fill their baskets with perishable goods. Spar, the grocery chain which has 2,700 stores in Britain, said there had been a 300 per cent increase in the sales of bread, milk and canned goods in South Wales, one of the areas worst hit by fuel blockades. A spokesman said they were working hard to restock the stores, and Tesco, which reported that it was running low on bread in four stores, said that it would also be re-filling its shelves. London commuter stations were packed, and in badly hit areas, including South Wales, Yorkshire and north-east England roads were quieter than usual, as drivers conserved fuel for essential journeys, and some businesses were forced to turn away custom. Scott Owen, an undertaker in Llandudno, North Wales, said: "We can't do long distance funerals because of the risk of not having enough fuel to get back." Motorists across Britain ignored pleas not to indulge in the panic-buying of fuel, queuing in their hundreds by any petrol station still open. Richard Freeman, an AA policy spokesman, said he felt that that some consumers were deliberately flouting the Government's pleas not to fill their tanks. "A lot of drivers are enjoying the situation of giving the Government a bloody nose. They felt they haven't been able to do anything individually but they've been feeling very angry about it. The Government has woefully underestimated the level of feeling drivers have." But many of those at the pumps said that they were filling up because they were dependent on their cars for their livelihoods. Mark Roberts, 35, a doctor from Bramhall, set out at 7.15am yesterday to join a quarter of a mile long queue outside Sainsbury's petrol station at Cheadle Royal, Stockport, Manchester. He said he needed to travel between four hospitals each day. "How do I get to clinics and see patients if I can't get any fuel? It's vital that I can get to where I'm needed." Chris Gac, 21, a joiner from Bolton, Lancashire, said: "I do 70 miles a day. By the time it gets to the end of the week I could be out of a job. If this goes on, and I can't do my job, I'll go broke." Queues and frustration brought out the worst in some drivers, with fights reported on service station forecourts. Christopher Priestley, an employee at a Shell garage in Leeds said he saw violence just before fuel ran out. He said: "It has become a tragic situation - fighting over petrol. Two men pulled up at a super unleaded pump. One was punched as they fought to get there first." Customers were buying as much fuel as they could, despite fire safety officers' warnings against stockpiling. Mark Lewis, the skipper of the Dart fuel barge in Dartmouth harbour, Devon, said customers had "been coming on board with 10-litre and 25-litre containers. One chap was so desperate to get home to Birmingham he bought 106 litres". One driver was turned away from a garage at Colesbourne, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, after asking to fill a 40-gallon water butt. Another motorist from Skipton, North Yorkshire, was taken to hospital with burns to his back after fuel he had stockpiled at home went up in flames, setting fire to his kitchen. Other motorists were taking the lesser risk of filling the tanks of cars which should run on unleaded fuel with leaded, risking hundreds of pounds of damage to their catalytic converters. The shortages caused difficulties to businesses and organisations across the country. William Dolman, the coroner at Hornsey, north London, cancelled all inquests until further notice. He said petrol shortages meant that officers and witnesses found it difficult to get to court. He added: "It is possible that within a few days my pathologists will not be able to attend to carry out post mortem examinations." It meant that bereaved relatives might not be able to make funeral arrangements. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said that its work could be affected by the fuel crisis. Sun Valley, Britain's biggest poultry processing plant, said that eight million chickens and a million turkeys faced starving to death. Fuel for the boilers which produce the steam needed to mix up the poultry food for the plant in Hereford is expected to run out this evening. The only words of optimism came from cross-Channel operators, who recommended motorists to take their cars on a ferry to fill them up in the country which set the crisis in motion - France. A

[CTRL] Chase Manhattan Banks' Right-Wing Relationship
from: alt.conspiracy Click Here: A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:641650"Chase Manhattan Banks' Right-Wing Relationship/A -- Subject: Chase Manhattan Banks' Right-Wing Relationship From: A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "[EMAIL PROTECTED] k /A (Chat Pile) Date: Wed, Sep 13, 2000 2:15 AM Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chase Manhattan Banks' Right-Wing Relationship by Lederman Chase Manhattan Banks' Right-wing Relationship by Robert Lederman The Rockefeller family's Chase Manhattan Bank has as its motto, "Chase: The right relationship". As Chase is on the verge of buying J.P. Morgan and becoming the world's richest bank, it might be timely to explore a bit of the history behind that slogan. Chase Bank actively supported the most viciously racist regime in world history, Nazi Germany's Third Reich. Unlike many other banks which also have done business with murderous regimes, Chase's involvement was much more than just a business arrangement. Morgan Bank has a similar history of closely working with Hitler and advocating Nazism both before and throughout WWII. Chase Bank, it's owners, the Rockefeller family and the family's other main business-Standard Oil (now known as Exxon)-were an integral part of Hitler's war effort. Rockefeller, Standard Oil and Chase Bank helped put Hitler in power, helped him build the world's deadliest army, supplied him with oil throughout the war and after the war helped the Nazi elite to smuggle billions of dollars stolen from Holocaust victims and Nazi-occupied countries out of Germany and into Swiss and Latin American banks. The powerhouse of Germany's war industry was I.G. Farben the chemical company that patented and manufactured Zyklon-B the nerve gas used in Auschwitz. The relationship of I.G. Farben to Auschwitz went much deeper than Zyklon-B. Auschwitz was built by I.G. Farben as a slave labor camp that manufactured rubber and other materials for the Nazi war effort and "recycled" gold fillings, human hair and other substances derived from those worked to death or killed in the gas chambers. At the end of WWII I.G. Farben was transformed into BASF, Bayer and Hoescht. Rockefeller/Standard Oil was the largest stockholder in I.G. Farben and I.G. Farben was-next to Rockefeller-the largest shareholder in Standard Oil. Presidents Roosevelt and Truman considered Standard Oil's executives and Rockefeller to be traitors to America. John D. Rockefeller was also the world's biggest promoter of Eugenics, the pseudo-science of racial differences, selective breeding and "race betterment". Among the "scientists" his foundation funded was Auschwitz's infamous doctor of death Josef Mengele. Eugenics led directly to the Holocaust. Today, Rockefeller foundations continue to fund Eugenics programs worldwide under the guise of improving human health, population control and disease control. In America Rockefeller/Chase's most influential front may be the Manhattan Institute, a right wing think tank founded by former CIA director William Casey after he helped bring thousands of former Nazis to America following WWII. The Manhattan Institute is the origin of every racially-biased, constitution-violating policy Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has instituted in New York City during the past six years. Among the resident scholars associated with the Institute is Charles Murray author of The Bell Curve. This controversial book advances the idea that African Americans are genetically and intellectually inferior to Whites as a justification for eliminating welfare and affirmative action. The Manhattan Institute is also the originator of G.W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism". Bush, who has presided over more executions than all other U.S. Governors combined, claims that next to the bible Chase Bank's Manhattan Institute has been the greatest influence on his ideas. G.W. Bush's father, George Bush, was a Rockefeller puppet according to Ronald Reagan and had numerous former Nazis involved in his presidential campaign. G.W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, managed Wall Street front companies that raised money for Hitler and shipped supplies to the Nazis. These companies were seized by the U.S. government in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy act. The Rockefeller's art museum, The Museum of Modern Art insists on displaying art seized by the Nazis from Jews on their way to the concentration camps. It recently got a $65 million dollar gift of NYC tax dollars from Mayor Giuliani at the same time he was cutting the budget for art education in NYC schools and asking the U.S. Supreme Court to eliminate First Amendment protection for all visual art. Chase Manhattan Banks' logo is a modified swastika. When you see or hear their ads about Chase: The Right Relationship think Hitler, Nazism and Auschwitz. Morgan Bank, the Swiss Banks that stole and hid Jewish bank accounts and Chase belong together. They truly are, the right relationship. AP 9/12/2000 Chase Manhattan in Talks to Purchase J.P.

From: "Cromwell" A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] m/A Date: Tue, Sep 12, 2000 2:19 PM Message-id: 8pm6n1$9po$[EMAIL PROTECTED] The UK at this very moment is suffering a fuel crisis. Oil refineries have been blockaded and predictions have been made th the UK will run dry of pertrol in 48 hours. Government statements have been intransagent throughout the day. The British Prime Minster, Tony Blair has thrown down the gaunlet, ordering the forces of the State to act. The immediate period seems uncertain. The government is now facing it's most grave crisis. Behind this hide the powers of dicatatorship and the Actual 'Secret State', not the fantasy one described ad nausea on this Group. This pretend 'Secret State' serves a certain section of the US establishment, which is rightwing and neo-fascist. It is united in it's Anglophobia. EIR is one of the many political organs which articulates this reactionary constigencies political agenda. What ever other relationships they might have, we know that Fayed and EIR have made similiar statements about the high ranking members of the Royal Family and the death of Princess Diana. Both Fayed and EIR have been in the forefront of creating the Diana assassination myth. Such myths serves only to disguise the truth, not illuminate it. The actual 'Secret State' and the myth of constitutional monachy has been revealed in the current events, but idealists such are unable to see it. Tony Blair began his statement, "We have made the necessary emergency order of council. The oil companies are agreed that they must move supplies," Mr Blair said." ( BBC Tuesday, 12 September, 2000) 'Emergency order of council' This obscure reference is to the Crown Prerogative Power and the Privy council. This body, a manifestation of the political role of the Monarch exposes again the bourgeois argument, of the powerlessness and cerimonial role of the crown. Blair broke off engagements today, to chair an emergency meeting of the cabinet. The decisions of this remain unclear but we do know that Blair related to his ministers, the result of his meeting on Monday, of the Queens Privy Council at which the Queen was present. The Privy Council, which dates back to Norman times, is body of senior politicians, including all the party leaders, who along with judges and church dignitaries advises the Queen. According to the BBC, "Under section three of the Energy Act 1976, the government can be granted exceptional powers to control the supply of fuel across the country. Should ministers choose to use these powers, they can direct oil companies to designate petrol stations to supply emergency and essential services only. Services deemed "essential" include schools public transport food delivery lorries Although the act allows for military intervention, the government has ruled out bringing in soldiers to assist the police officers currently marshalling the protests." (12th September 2000) The relative trappings of constituational monachy are now shaken by the inherent problems of UK capitalism in a Eurpean wide, possible global crisis. Behind these trapings stand dictatorship and absolute Monarchy known in the modern era as the Emergency government. Bourgeois theorists have themselves hinted at this 'hidden' apsect of the Capitalist state here in the UK. Constitutional theorist Vernon Bogdanor wrote in The Monarchy and the Constitution, "Thus, if either of these two conditions - the two-party system and a situation of political stability - was to change, the role of the Monarchy might change also. The largely formal role of the soveriegn, therefore is contingent. It is not inherent in constituional monarchy"(Published by Oxford p 78) The weak and unstable bourgeois, act as they do in all times of crisis. They look to the Crown, a vestige of a Feudal past, to sort out their problems. These are the consquences of the uncompleted English Civil War. Political solutions at heart Republican, have never been more obvious. Lovers of demcracy beware! Dictatorship is on the horizion. Keep your eyes open. Geoff. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

Re: [CTRL] Fw: Elvis' doctor denied plea for medical license
Well Amelia - this doctor was a real Mafia type doctor. What always bothered me, Elvis entered that mansion, smiled at kids and waved to them, and then within hour or so was dead.he had a five inch karate chop to back of his neck and the original autopsy report disappeared...National Enquirer then headed up Bob Pope, CIA, put out $50,000 for its return. Then when I saw Elvis will I really knew something was wrong - he got in with a bad bunch, bad company - not that he was perfect and his mother's tombstone has Not My Will But Thy Will Be Done.and her masonic Eastern Star symbolism.strange she was in Eastern Star? The father Presley was roped in with a woman, a floosie whom my friend saw in Vegas with know Mafia henchmen...shortly then Vernon died too.but Elvis has a little brother somewhere supposedly. His will - you only need two witnesses on a will and this will had been doctored - and lines drawn for addition of two or three more witnesses - when my house was burglarized a lot of stuff I had was taken and this little box I had had a picture of Elvis in Germany with a friend of mine.on the back it said "Look at that truck driver and guess who".and it was Elvis Elvis was knocked off but sometimes I hope it was true that he like a Hoffa maybe escaped.you canno believe anything you read. Elvis was doomed and this is how I knew he was going to die.. Right before Marilyn Monroe died, Tass said "poor Marilyn, look how she is being treated"and she had become communist pawn through that Miller. Right before Elvis died I was in my favorite restaurant prior to meeting and was playing a song just put on Juke Box - I Can't Help Falling In Love With You.and it came on TV that Tass said: Poor Elvis, look how he is being treated, etc. etc., same garbage..and I said my god they are going to get Elvis Presley - that was the tip off. Then he died...but the same line theyput out on Marilyn Monroe for she was getting old to soon and looked horrible...nothing like photos put up for show - Mailer reproduced some of these in his insulting book. But Elvis - they tried to say he was a communist...in his last songs he sang Dixie but the one "hush little baby, do not cry - you know your daddy has to die"came on the airhe left many messages and that I Did It My Way was always the last curtain call. Remembr Oswald when asked what was in his package said "Curtain Rods"..well that symbolied the gun that would brin down the curtain, on JFK.the rod of iron in Job. Secret to Elvis death found in job too..always loved Elvis, but my mother thought he was horrible until she found out he loved his mother then he could do no wrong. Wonder where his little brother is and if that Dee Presley still hangs around with the mob? Bob Green got out line equating to bible code.right out of Job. So who can prove what? The five in karate chop is what my MI6 friend questionedand CIA Pope was more than just a little concerned at the time for when he put up $50,000 in those days that was lot of money as he put up similar amount for info on the missing Hoffa and boy did I have stuff on that one...but then, so did the FBI for the tracked a trail to this Jew Doctor's farm where he entertained Meyer Lansky. Something happened to everybody I liked...but Elvis trying to get US Marshall badge like a little kid - this killer doctor group who had hit man murdering for them - they were going to get US Marshall badges someohow through a congressman - boy they had drag - but always remember, Lansky's son went to West Point - this is what West Point is turning out these days? Has West Point been sold out too like Lincoln Bedroom.I call that place the Bates Motel. Saba Interesting item Amelia..but Elvis, someday I will drag that stuff out again for something really sinister happened to that kid...smiling at midnight, and dead shortly thereafter ? His friends were stealing from him and who knows could have been drugging his drinks - east to control someone under drugs.but he was in great anger, and he knew it - always feared a smiling manchurian killer coming at him for he noticed how they all seemed to smile..programmed killers.

This technology is redundant. Motor vehicles can be stopped remotely with HERF/LERF guns, and old technology SIGHTINGS Mysterious 'Z Ray' Cripples Plane Engines Over NY In 1935 The Denver Post, May 26, 1935, Page 1 From Bill Oliver-UFO*BC [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2-25-00 New York, May 25 - Airplane pilots making flight in this vicinity have asked the department of commerce to investigate a supposed radio-ray device which they believe stops the motors of airplanes passing over New York city. The airplanes, flying over the central part of Manhattan, have had mysterious troubles with their engines during the last few months. As a result, belief is spreading in aeronautical circles here that some short-wave experimenter has developed a "Z-ray" which interferes with the workings of airplane motors at which it is aimed. A peculiar thing about the occurrences is that the planes' motors simply "go dead" without apparent cause, and when they are examined later, it is seldom possible to determine what was wrong. Twice, however, electrical parts have been found to be burned out, as if by a heavy current of electricity. Several times disasters have narrowly been avoided, as the magnetism which stalls the engines does not pass off for some time, and the planes must be brought to an emergency landing. When a plane is flying at 5,000 feet or more over the city, it is possible to land at one of several airports, but the planes that have been affected by the supposed "Z-ray" are usually flying at lower altitudes. The most recent occurrence of this nature was the near-disaster which overtook the cabin monoplane piloted by Michael Stupelli, which was forced to land with three passengers in the East river a few days ago when its motor stopped from electrical trouble which has not yet been solved. The pilot reported he was "almost in a straight line with the top" of a mid-town skyscraper, where shortwave radio tests are known to be u under way, when the motor gasped and died. From that instant he was unable to get a spark out of his generator, but when the plane was examined later the only trouble seemed to be that several electrical parts were highly magnetized. Radio experts here said that no experiments with "Z-ray" were being made in Manhattan, so far as they knew. They pointed out, however, reports from the continent of automobiles being mysteriously halted by short-wave devices near the Italian border. Department of commerce inspectors are expected to join with officials of the federal communications commission in their investigation. In the meantime major air lines have issued orders to their pilots to obey strictly instructions against flying over Manhattan. (END).

[CTRL] Blair sends for the troops
Forwarded Post. Subject: [GVT] Blair sends for the troops Posted By: Maher Shalalhashbaz (Registered User) Posted At: 9/14/00 11:57:13 am From IP: September 14 2000 BRITAIN © Panic buying of bread and other perishables began after supermarkets issued a warning of shortages by the weekend. These shelves in Bristol were cleared out by early afternoon Photograph: JOHN EVANS/REUTERS Blair sends for the troops BY PHILIP WEBSTER, POLITICAL EDITOR Petrol protest: Day 7 TROOPS were put on standby last night to intervene in the deepening fuel crisis as the health service went on emergency alert, supermarkets began rationing food and schools and businesses closed. In a dramatic move to put pressure on the oil companies to do more to get petrol out of the refineries, the Government deployed 80 Forces' oil lorries near hospitals and at other strategic points. They will deliver oil from the Forces' "considerable stocks" to essential services if Tony Blair's latest pleas to the petrol companies fail to bear fruit. The troops will not deliver oil from refineries. The Ministry of Defence said: "They are being deployed, not employed." The move came after Mr Blair admitted - exactly a day after predicting that the country would begin returning to normal within 24 hours - that Britain faced a national crisis that was putting lives and jobs at risk. As the number of tanker movements remained painfully low, he appealed directly to hauliers, farmers and taxi drivers to end their protests because "real damage is being done to real people . . . there is a real danger now for the NHS and other essential services. Lives are at risk". By far the biggest demonstration yesterday was outside the Grangemouth refinery in Scotland where 500 people set up pickets - far more than before Mr Blair spoke on Tuesday - and there were another 200 at Stanlow in Ellesmere Port. But police reported mere handfuls of protesters at other depots, so that a total of fewer than a thousand people were blocking the country's petrol supplies. Mr Blair indicated that 500 deliveries were made during the day - on a normal day there are more than 5,000 - but a survey by The Times suggested that the true figure was much lower. And both ministers and the industry admitted that even if the tankers started delivering at their usual rate, it could be three weeks before Britain gets back to normal. Mr Blair said that the idea that a picket at a refinery gate could determine whether hospitals or ambulance services or public transport qualified as essential services was an affront. Doctors and nurses needed fuel to get into work. In a notable softening of tone on the demand for lower fuel duties, Mr Blair and Gordon Brown insisted through the day that they would "listen" to the public, but Mr Blair said: "We will listen; we will not be intimidated." Grim-faced but calm, he said it was time the country told the protesters: "Look, whatever your views, this is not on. This is not right. It is not the way to do things." But opinion polls last night suggested that the demonstrators still had the backing of most of the public. In a telephone poll for Tonight with Trevor Macdonald, only 6 per cent of more than 700,000 callers approved of Mr Blair's handling of the crisis. The news that the health service was on "red alert" for the first time for 20 years - meaning that it has to draw up contingency plans to deal with emergencies only - was given in a statement from Alan Milburn, the Health Secretary, after more hospitals cancelled non-urgent operations and some began running out of fresh food and supplies. High street chemists reported a drugs shortage and said: "People will die as a result." Some ambulance services received petrol, but others were maintaining emergency services only, and said that elderly people at home were at risk because GPs and nurses did not have petrol to visit them. Supermarkets meanwhile rationed bread, milk and sugar as the Sainsbury's chief executive wrote to Mr Blair to say that food would run out within days. All the big oil companies admitted that they had got out only a fraction of their usual deliveries. By late evening, Shell said it had made 100 deliveries, compared with more than 700 on a normal day, while Texaco said only 34 of its 957 filling stations had received any fuel. Elf had delivered to 30 instead of the normal 400. Petrol protest: Day 7 * Forces put on standby to provide fuel for essential services. * At least 375 tanker deliveries made; Mr Blair puts figure at 500. * Alan Milburn, the Health Secretary, puts the NHS on red alert. * Supermarkets start rationing food. * National Blood Authority is put on emergency alert. * Lorry convoy brings London and several motorways to a standstill. * Children given day off as schools close. * Thousands stay at home, unable to get to work. * Cycle shops report a massive increase in sales. * William Hague calls for immediate recall of Parliament. * Petrol

Companies hit by the protest are already beginning to scale back production and lay off staff as the situation becomes critical. Experts said firms could be driven out of business overnight, prompting widespread job losses. Digby Jones, director-general of the CBI, said: "We need this sorted out fast." George Cox, director-general of the Institute of Directors, said unless the protesters withdrew immediately, businesses and jobs would disappear overnight. The London Chamber of Commerce said 10 per cent of all economic output was lost yesterday and this could rise as the crisis worsens. A spokesman said: "The effects are being felt right across the economy with the sectors of retail, distribution and freight all being hit extremely hard." The British Chambers of Commerce said businesses had now reached a "critical" stage. A spokesman said: " There is a mood of desperation amongst businesses, especially smaller ones which do not have contingency plans. Companies are already laying off staff and our message to the protesters is to stop these blockades now." A leading Scottish food company said millions of chickens and thousands of pigs could die if the crisis continued. Aberdeen-based Grampian Country Food Group was unable to transport animal feed from plants across Britain to its farms. Alasdair Cox, group marketing manager, said 30 million chickens and 100,000 pigs were at risk and that the effects of the nationwide protests could be felt by the firm within 24 hours. Peter's Food Service Group, which employs 1,100 people in Bedwas, near Caerphilly, laid off 350 workers temporarily yesterday. Gary Waller, chairman of the Alliance Group of Companies Ltd, which acts as freight forwarding agents, has offered to accommodate his staff at his stables on his 44-acre farm near Chelmsford, Essex, because they cannot get to work. Banks could also start to run out of money. The finance union UNIFI said banks were reporting difficulties filling up cash machines because of "huge" distribution problems from secure bullion depots around the country. But customers were asked yesterday not to panic and withdraw large sums. ... [snip] ... Post deliveries are facing "significant disruption". The Post Office yesterday began planning to reduce services because of mounting problems caused by the shortage of fuel. The service guaranteeing next day delivery has already been suspended. The Post Office said it could not specify when other cuts might have to be made but it was only sensible to begin planning now to reduce services. A spokesman added: "Our reserve of fuel is now very low." The country's 18,500 post offices were being treated as priorities so that internal deliveries of cash to pay benefits such as pensions, could continue for as long as possible. Bus and coach services were "approaching critical" yesterday, with most public transport operators expecting to run out of fuel in the next few days. In some areas, only Sunday services were operating and it was predicted that most services would grind to a halt by the end of the week. Mike Bartlett, spokesman for the Confederation of Passenger Transport, said: "We are waiting and hoping that the Government will allocate some fuel for us but at the moment we have not been designated an essential service. If we have to hold out like everyone else, many bus and coach services will grind to a halt by the end of the week, while others will end in the next couple of days."

[CTRL] Russian Military not in trouble: Col Stanislav Llunev: News Max editorial
Forwarded Post: Newsmax.com Although this is a contraray opinion to liberal press ideas; doesn't this seem rather like the direction of things in the US? I mean letting our conventional forces become bedraggled and unready for real combat while police forces become stronger and militarized? Governments afraid of their peoples. DP Russian Military Is Not In Big Trouble After All Col. Stanislav Lunev Thursday, Sept. 14, 2000 After the recent Russian nuclear attack submarine tragedy in the Barents Sea, some military experts and the U.S. mainstream press have been speculating about the alleged poor condition of Russia's strategic nuclear and conventional armed forces. Unfortunately the reality is different, and one of the world largest and most powerful military machines is not in really bad shape at all. The Kursk submarine tragedy was no accident, but was the logical result of Russia¹s President Vladimir Putin's policy, which is intent on moving the nation toward the re-establishment of a totalitarian state by any means possible. The sub's disaster also provides an example of former KGB Lt. Colonel Putin's manner of leading Russia in very difficult time of its history. We know that the supposedly visionary Putin was missing in action when it came to handling the submarine crisis in the Barents Sea. His "activity" during the disaster suggests a picture of a cold-hearted man who does not care about the people, including the men and women in military uniforms involved in the realization of his ambitious plans and intentions. We also know these plans are based on Putin¹s militaristic policy. As the Russian press reported on Aug 11, one day before Kursk tragedy, President Putin summoned his highest military officials to the Kremlin for a secret debate over the future of Russian defense, and to defuse tensions over control of its nuclear arsenal. At a four-hour meeting of the Security Council President Putin discussed with his military leaders and the most powerful members of his Cabinet future developments of Russia's strategic nuclear and conventional forces. For weeks these problems were at the center of a dispute between Defense Minister Igor Sergeev and the Chief of General Staff Anatoly Kvashnin. Sergeev, a former commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, is a strong supporter of these forces and argued that Russia needs to improve its nuclear arsenal to deter possible attacks by other nations. Army General Kvashnin, on the other hand, planned to reduce the strategic nuclear forces by merging them with the Air Force, and spend more money for the development of conventional weapons. In recent weeks this dispute became so personal that Mr.Sergeev blasted the General Staff Chief's idea as "criminal insanity" at an public military event. Details of this meeting¹s final outcome remains unclear. Sergei Ivanov, Security Council Secretary, said that resolutions on increasing military spending and improving combat readiness had been adopted, but they had yet to be finalized. Defense Minister Sergeev stated that "no missile silo will be destroyed until its service life expires." Like everyhing going on in Russia today, this dispute looks more like a show than a real concern. First of all, future development of Russia's military has already been proclaimed by the new Military Doctrine, approved by Putin last spring. According to this document, the nuclear weapons are Russia's first line of defense against any outside aggression, but in the future the government will pay more attention to conventional forces because of the former imbalance in their development. We know that over the last eight years Boris Yeltsin's government used about 70 percent of Russia's military budget for the development of its strategic nuclear forces. Currently Moscow¹s arsenal has so many thousands of nuclear warheads that it's more then enough to destroy our planet several times over. But Mr.Sergeev, former commander of these forces, spent most of this money to acquire about 20 new Topol-M (Poplar-M) missiles every year since he became defense minister in 1997. Its one of the paradoxes of our life that although having been in a very deep economic crisis Russia developed and deployed the operational Topol-M top-of-the-line mobile intercontinental strategic ballistic nuclear missile system, a system which even the U.S. military simply cannot afford. Traditionally Russia has always used its nuclear forces to extort money from the West by threatening the prospect of a world nuclear catastrophe if new loans and credits do not come to Moscow in time to prevent one. At the same time, however, the Yeltsin government paid little attention to Russia's conventional forces because of a simple shortage of money, most of whch had been used for the nuclear arsenal. During the last several years the near-1 million man-strong conventional forces were in a real decline, with very low combat readiness and extremely low morale among
[CTRL] China: Editorial WND : The End of Sanity
China's strategic deception Editor's note: Anthony C. LoBaido, currently on assignment in the Middle East, filed this intriguing profile of the nation of Jordan. LoBaido's harrowing, first-hand report of dodging a radical Islamic terrorist group is featured in this month's WorldNet magazine. Read his full report by subscribing to WorldNet at WND's online store. By Anthony C. LoBaido © 2000, WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. As Communist China ferries in 70,000 troops and prisoners to "protect" the interests of Beijing in Sudan's rich oil fields, several troubling and ironic forces are coming into play. Primary among these forces is the cyclical nature of history. Around 400 AD, Attila the Hun sacked the Roman Empire after rampaging through the Middle East. Not many in the West realize that Attila had been trained in Rome's finest military academy. Already we see a parallel of how the Clinton administration has openly armed the Chinese with our finest high tech technology, given a 21 gun salute at Arlington to the butchers of Tiananmen Square and actually asked China -- in perhaps the most galling statement issued under the eight years of treason we have suffered under Clinton -- to "help America with our human rights problems." About 800 years after Attila, who died in Italy a very rich man after extorting Rome for immense bribes in gold, Ghengis Khan conquered Russia, the Middle East and again threatened Europe. He was stopped by the Mamelukes, the mysterious slave-kings who came to rule Egypt at that time -- around 1200 AD. The destruction Ghengis Khan left across the Middle East -- the most technologically superior region of its time -- was so great that the area has never recovered to this very day. It would behoove all China watchers to check the time line. First 400 AD, then 800 years, fast forward to 1200 AD. Now here we are, another 800 years later. America sits like a Queen atop the global economy. As Sir Walter Raleigh once said, "He who would command the world's trade commands the riches of the world and hence, the world itself." This decade-long utopia since the "end" of the Cold War is rapidly beginning to erode. And it is not merely the fact that both China and Russia have threatened to launch nuclear war against America that we should find so alarming. It is not the fact that China is openly arming Pakistan against India and seeks to manipulate the two nations into an apocalyptic war that will open China's pathway into the Middle East. What is most scary of all is the fact that so many American's don't know or don't want to know what America's enemies, including China, are up to. The issue is almost totally ignored by the media and our gutless Senate and treasonous Manchurian President. As my erudite colleague J.R. Nyquist has so eloquently pointed out, "It's not that Americans don't know" what's going on, "it's that they can't know." Why can't they know? Because it's a secret or a conspiracy of some sorts? Surely the Clinton regime by and large fears the people. The mass media ignores the threats of China and Russia against the U.S. But there is something more to it. The fact is that the American people "can't know" because they are morally and spiritually blind. To teach them about the threat China, Russia and Marxism present to them would involve a total re-education process the likes of which Western Civilization has never seen. It would involve courses in non politically-correct history, and then geography, religion, moral teachings, international relations, economics, ideals of human liberty, archaeology and many other disciplines. As the Judeo Christian character of Americans has been steadily eroded since the 1960s we have finally come to the point where we now see the weakening of the greatest human impulse. That being the erosion of the self preservation instinct. "There is no more America," we are told by our globalist-minded "leadership." Only ATT, Microsoft and Coca-Cola. So we arm China and Russia, give them billions in loans and ignore their threats. Twenty-first century Americans are like children who believe that if they all participate in the same mass delusion that they can somehow change reality. But we can't change reality. Are you ready for a dose of reality? America is ready to fall and fall right now, along with the rest of the West. The situation is critical. Europe has once again decayed to the paganism of pre-Christian times. This decline is led by the UK-style Tony Blair morality. Their worst acts include having UK police brutally beat British citizens who were peacefully protesting China's human rights atrocities and their push to legalize sex between men and boys down to the age of 12 -- as it is in Spain. As European civilization has lost its vision, will and religion, it has almost lost all of its territory. Europe's armies are a joke. Australia
[CTRL] Clarke Calls for Cold Fusion
Frpm: http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal091402.html Clarke Calls for Cold Fusion September 14, 2000 08:25 CDT Arthur C. Clarke, at 83 one of the century's greatest scientists and thinkers, bluntly criticized the science press and colleagues for ignoring and debunking the potential of cold fusion technology. Speaking via a pre-recorded video presentation at the British Association's Festival of Science this week, Clarke declared "society has made a huge mistake in rejecting out of hand the idea that cold fusion may be possible," reported BBC News Online. And, said the UK news service, "he mocked editors and journalists for not giving the technology serious consideration." The venerable Clarke is well known not only as a gifted scientist, but as a visionary and insightful writer of science fiction, as well. He's credited with inventing the geo-stationary satellite, and developed the basic theory of communications satellites while operating ground approach radar for the RAF more than 60 years ago. His sci-fi seminal book and film, "2001: A Space Odyssey" won an Academy Award in 1964. Born in England, he graduated with honors in physics and mathematics from King's College London; was an editor for the Institution of Electrical Engineers, and served 4 years as chairman of the British Interplanetary Society a half-century ago. This week, said BBC, Clarke predicted that the "age of fossil fuels" is coming to an end, "anomalous sources of energy" must be developed. Cold fusion, he said, should be a candidate in this evolution. BBC said cold fusion "first hit the headlines in 1989 when researchers Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons suggested it was possible to generate heat through the fusion of atoms at normal temperatures. But when leading scientists failed to reproduce their results and Fleishmann and Pons retracted some of their early claims, cold fusion was dismissed as nonsense." But researchers have continued to develop the technology with little funding, and Clarke told the scientific gathering that such energy research needs to be brought out of the closet. BBC quoted several of Clarke's more intriguing remarks in its Monday editions, some of which were delivered in the context of urging scientists and journalists to stretch their vision into the future: --"Over the last decade there have been literally hundreds of reports from all over the world from highly qualified people and distinguished institutions of anomalous sources of energy. They may or may not be cold fusion and in some cases have nothing to do with nuclear power. Although there are lots of crooks, cranks and cowboys in this field, I believe there is now enough published evidence to prove that something strange is going on," said Clarke. "We will soon have materials 100 times stronger than any metal and perhaps weighing no more than ordinary plastics. Their impact on every aspect of life will be enormous: buildings that are kilometers high, and land, sea and air vehicles that are only a fraction of their present weight." (Referring, he said, to the coming "Carbon Age" which would lead to "extraordinary" new materials such as the C60 molecule, a ball-shaped cage of carbon atoms.)

[CTRL] DRUDGE: NEW YORK TIMES SAT ON STORIES UNFAVORABLE
DRUDGE: NEW YORK TIMES SAT ON STORIES UNFAVORABLE TO DEMS; TWO EXCLUSIVES SLIPPED AWAY An atmosphere of confusion and disappointment spread among the ranks inside of the Washington bureau of the NEW YORK TIMES Thursday morning after the newspaper lost two high-impact exclusives to competitors. Going into last weekend, editors at the TIMES were set to publish two exclusives, according to newsroom sources, one involving a possible link between Gore, a veto vote, and a $100,000 donation from a wealthy Texas lawyer, another exploring First Lady Hillary Clinton possibly rewarding campaign contributors with overnight stays at the White House and Camp David. But editors scrambled late Wednesday when both stories, which still had not been published, began appearing in other outlets. "We blew it! Both stories were ready," said a disgruntled newsroom source who demanded anonymity. "All this hard work on Gore... and we are beat by TIME.COM?!" NEW YORK TIMES star reporter Don Van Natta Jr. is said to have been horrified Wednesday night as he watched TIME.COM, FOX NEWS, the WASHINGTON TIMES and others race details of what was to be his. Just hours prior, before the Gore story hit airwaves and wires, NEW YORK TIMES Washington editor Jill Abramson refused to answer questions why and how it was that stories unfavorable to Democrats where apparently not making it into print, while the TIMES proudly featured a Page One story on George W. Bushs campaign signing off an anti-Gore ad that flashed the "subliminal" message "RATS". "I am not going to answer these questions!" Abramson shouted into the phone. When asked by the DRUDGE REPORT how she could possibly sit back and let TIME.COM soon beat the NEW YORK TIMES on the Gore story, Abramson hung up the phone. Then, according to one newsroom eyewitness, Abramson quickly moved into action. "Lets get this thing out!" Abramson snapped to an associate. Six hours after the call to Abramson, the TIMES finally placed the Gore report on its website. But by that point, it was too late. Other outlets were reporting the same details. The Gore story was ready to run as early as last Friday, then it was moved to Sunday, according to sources. But then editors decided to feature the Hillary Clinton exclusive on Page One of Sunday editions. Gore was delayed. But one editor raised concerns on Saturday that it would be unfair to publish the Hillary story so close to her debate [the White House was also unwilling to release the names of Camp David guests]. The Hillary story was put on ice. "Everything kept getting delayed from a scheduling point of view," said a publishing source. "Gore was set to run on Monday, but then Wen Ho Lee was released and he filled up the front page." "I hope everyone here has learned a lesson," said the source. "We cant hold back news."

Re: [CTRL] (CTRL) NH: Dubya's Massacre of English: From Dyslexia or Too Much Lying?
Actually, G.W.'s uncanny ability to mangle language ("subliminable?") probably
comes as much as anything from having grown up in the oil industry. Oilmen (and
it *is* a man's industry) speak a lingo all their own, perhaps best called
"oll-spick," which derives from the East Texas brand of English. An oilman can
be from Maine and he will still sound like an East Texan. Rather like Humpty
Dumpty, oll-spick operates on the assumption that you have to prove who's the
master, you or the word... (FWIW, my uncle was a petroleum geologist in
Lafayette, Lousiana for years, and knew a lot of the top people in the oil
industry. And even though he was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and grew up in
Philadelphia, he still spoke like an East Texas farmhand.)

[CTRL] Fwd: Harry Browne's stand on the War on Drugs
Harry Browne's stand on the War on Drugs Overview Before there were drug laws in America, there were virtually no drug problems. There were no muggers on the street trying to support a $100-a-day habit, no pushers on high school campuses trying to hook children on drugs, no gangs fighting over monopoly drug territories, no drive-by shootings, no crack babies, and overdoses were very rare. Other than during alcohol Prohibition, nothing like those problems had ever been seen in America until the late 1960s. And then the War on Drugs made them happen. The War on Drugs is a total failure, and there is hardly a soul in America who doesn't know it. Government can't keep drugs out of the country; it can't even keep drugs out of its own prisons. And yet the Democrats and Republicans go right on spending your money, building more prisons, authorizing more wire-taps and inspections of your private affairs -- just as though the Drug War was one of America's greatest successes. I want to end the War on Drugs -- which will take the criminal profit out of the drug trade and bring peace to our cities once again. I also want to end the tyranny that's been imposed in the name of a "drug free" America -- something that has never been and never will be. The federal government has no constitutional authority to prosecute any common crime -- not even murder, assault, or rape, let alone anything having to do with smoking, drinking, or drugs. Today there are hundreds of thousands of people in prisons who have never committed violence against anyone, never stolen anything, never threatened anyone. They are there for the act of smoking a marijuana cigarette, or for selling some marijuana to their friends, or for using cocaine or selling it. Some of them are actually innocent, but they were convicted on the testimony of actual drug dealers who received reduced sentences in exchange for testifying against someone -- anyone will do. Meanwhile, murderers, rapists, and child molesters are released early because the prisons are overflowing with drug prisoners. On my first day in office I will pardon everyone who has been convicted of a non-violent federal drug offense. I will empty the federal prisons of the marijuana smokers, and make room for the truly violent criminals who are terrorizing our citizens. And I will make it possible for addicts to seek treatment without fear of criminal prosecution. The Quotable Harry Browne: on the War on Drugs "There are no violent gangs fighting over aspirin territories. There are no violent gangs fighting over whisky territories or computer territories or anything else that's legal. There are only criminal gangs fighting over territories covering drugs, gambling, prostitution, and other victimless crimes. Making a non-violent activity a crime creates a black market, which attracts criminals and gangs, which turns what was once a relatively harmless activity affecting a small group of people into a widespread epidemic of drug use and gang warfare." "Before World War I, any child in America could walk into a drug store and buy heroin. It was sold as a pain-reliever and a sedative, in measured doses, just as Bayer sells aspirin today. The child didn't need a note from his parents or a doctor's prescription. And yet, despite this unrestricted availability of drugs, there was no drug problem in America. But when the government made drugs illegal, it created a black market -- providing enormous profits in return for running the risk of prosecution -- which led inevitably to the muggers, the pushers, the gangs, and the violence." "The Republicans Democrats have put so many people in prison for victimless crimes that there's no room left for the violent criminals -- the murderers, the rapists, and the child molesters who are now going free because of plea bargains and early releases. Libertarians want to end the insane War on Drugs that has created a criminal black market in drugs, financed gang warfare, and brought violence and terror to our cities -- just as during the alcohol Prohibition of the 1920s. Libertarians want to empty the prisons of the pot smokers and other non-violent offenders, and keep the violent criminals off the streets -- restoring the peaceful America we had before the federal government became the nation's #1 "crime fighter" in the 1960s." "I have never met anyone who thinks we're winning the Insane War on Drugs. Nor have I met anyone who believes we will ever win it." "Many of the politicians who say that marijuana is a "gateway" drug (leading to cocaine and crack use) apparently smoked marijuana themselves when they were younger. By their logic, that makes them crack-heads and we should pay no attention to what they say." "When we turn to the government to stop someone from ruining his life with drugs, we convert a personal tragedy into a national disaster."

[CTRL] EMF Pulses May Have Caused Recent Air Disasters
US Military EMF Pulses May Have Caused Recent Air Crashes Robin McKie - Science Editor http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,366576,00.html 9-13-00 Electromagnetic pulses from military craft may have been responsible for several civilian airline disasters in the past four years. If the theory is proved correct, it suggests navy ships and air force planes pose a lethal threat to passenger flights. Crash investigators have been startled by similarities between several tragedies. In particular, they have uncovered common features in two crashes: Swissair 111, on 2 September 1998, and TWA 800, on 17 July 1996. Both planes took off from the same airport, New York's JFK, on the same day, a Wednesday, at the same minute, 8.19pm. Both followed the same route over Long Island. Both reported trouble in the same region of airspace, and both suffered catastrophic electrical malfunctions. And on both occasions the planes were flying at a time when extensive military exercises - involving submarines and US Navy P3 fighter planes - were being conducted. These factors - outlined by Elaine Scarry in the forthcoming issue of the New York Review of Books - suggest to many investigators that a routine weekly event, probably involving the generation of strong electromagnetic pulses by military personnel, may have triggered short-circuits in the two planes. In the case of the TWA 800 flight, this could have caused a spark to set off a fire in its fuel tanks. Alternatively, a pulse could have knocked out instruments, causing the Boeing 747 to spin out of control, making metal parts tear and produce sparks. In the case of the Swissair 111, a fire was reported in the cabin and the plane plunged into the sea off the coast of Nova Scotia.

[CTRL] Unification Press International?? Rev. Moon's Empire
Unification Press International? Rev. Moon Adds United Press International To His Media Empire By Bill Berkowitz A little more than eight years ago, Rev. Pat Robertson was closing in on acquiring what would have been the jewel in his media empire. Unfortunately for him, at just about the last minute a bankruptcy judge rejected the bid by the fabulously wealthy religious broadcaster and Christian Coalition founder, and instead ruled that United Press International (UPI), one of the preeminent news wire services, would be sold to a group of Middle Eastern investors. Fast forward to 2000: the venerable and troubled UPI has been sold yet again. News World Communications, the new owner, is the thriving media arm of another right-wing charismatic figure, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church. Although News World Communications has said that it intends to maintain UPI as an independent news organization, it all hinges on who's interpreting what "independent news organization" means. Media watchers of all political stripes are wondering what to expect from this new Moon circling the globe. UPI, a 93-year-old agency, has been a financially troubled operation for the better part of the past three decades, with multiple ownership changes during the past 18 years. The serial owners have included Mexican publisher Mario Vazquez Rana and a U.S. partner, Texan Joe Russo, and Infotechnology Inc., which is owned by Earl W. Brian, a California venture capitalist. Most recently a group of Saudi Arabian industrialists presided over the company. When the sale to Moon was announced, veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas, UPI's most revered and honored employee, handed in her resignation rather than pick up her paycheck from Moon. The Unification Church, founded and built by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, enjoys 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax status despite the fact that it has been a major, if not always apparent, player in U.S. politics for many years. Organizations participating in overt political activities are prohibited from receiving the 501(c)(3) classification. According to the 2000 edition of The Right Guide, published by Michigan-based Economics America Inc., the Unification Church is "adamantly anticommunist, and has worked with conservative organizations to oppose the spread of communism as well as on issues of traditional values and morality." The Church runs several spin-off organizations, usually with sympathetic-sounding names like the Professors World Peace Academy and the Women's Federation for Peace, the latter of which not too long ago gave $3.5 million to religious right leader Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. In addition to its massive media holdings, the Church owns the University of Bridgeport, in Connecticut, a private academy. One of Moon's many moneymaking ventures, reported the Washington Post, is Kahr Arms, a manufacturer of "small but potent pistols"; in its marketing efforts Kahr highlights the gun's "concealability." The Church also enjoys a significant presence in Latin America. In February, Reuters reported that Moon had already "spent $30 million over the last five years to buy 138,000 acres" of Brazilian swampland to build New Hope, a community for his followers. Other investments in South America include a bank, a hotel and a newspaper network in Uruguay. (For an extensive list of hundreds of Unification front groups, including religious, political, media and business operations, see http://trancenet.org/moonism/uclist.shtml.) In 1982 Moon established the Washington Times newspaper as his flagship publication in the United States, and as the major conservative alternative to the Washington Post in the nation's capital. From the outset, the well-established and highly acclaimed Post dismissed the Times as nothing more than a daily nuisance. However, with Moon's practically unlimited financial resources the Times survived, reaching its apex in terms of visibility when then President Ronald Reagan acknowledged that it was the one newspaper he read thoroughly. Stridently conservative in its editorials and op-ed pages, the Times has been a consistent money-losing proposition for almost two decades. Over the years Reverend Moon has been an on-again, off-again media personality. The Right Guide notes that when he was a Sunday-school teacher in Korea he claimed that Jesus asked him "to complete the task of establishing God's kingdom on earth and bringing His peace to humankind." This kind of hubris could be said to express itself when he shows up at one of his mass wedding ceremonies to do the honors for several thousand brides and grooms, most of whom have never met each other. In addition, the reverend's family has been the focus of ribald revelations, including allegations of drug use and infidelity, over the past few years. But in general, Reverend Moon prefers to stay out of the glare of the media's spotlight. Daniel Junas, in the March-April 1995 issue of Fairness and
[CTRL] Steven Yates On The New World Order
HTMLFONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="FIXED" FACE="Courier New" LANG="0"http://www.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates14.htmlBR BR From Carroll Quigley to the UN Millennium Summit: Thoughts on the New World OrderBR by Steven YatesBR BR Shortly after the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, President George Bush Sr. proclaimed us as on the verge of a New World Order. Bush did not coin the phrase, of course; nor did he introduce it into political discourse. Exactly what is its intended referent? Either of two things, apparently. (1) A would-be global government trumping national governments, meaning the de facto end of national sovereignty; or (2) the efforts some believe are currently underway, operating through the United Nations in particular but through other groups as well (the Council on Foreign Relations is a frequent target) to create such a global order. The agenda itself is sometimes called the New World Order conspiracy.BR BR Does such an agenda really exist, or are statements about conspiracies to create world government nothing more than "right wing" paranoia? To my mind, this question is surprisingly easy to answer, though the best way to approach it has changed in recent years. The results ought to give all believers in freedom and genuine self-determination more than a few sleepless nights. Yes, Virginia, there is a proposed New World Order, whether we call it that or not. Let us consider two separate pieces of evidence that point to this conclusion. The first is contained in the writings of an historian; the second took place right under our noses this past week in New York City. The word conspiracy is, however, a misnomer. Conspiracies, by definition, operate in secret. In that case, efforts to build a New World Order may have begun in secret, but now all the evidence one needs is on the UNs own website. BR BR Washington, D.C., the 1960s: Carroll Quigley and Tragedy and Hope.BR Back in the early 1960s, historian Carroll Quigley did extensive research for his encyclopedic Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. Tragedy and Hope recounted, in over 1,300 tightly-written pages of small print, the gradual rise to power of a small cadre of extremely wealthy and powerful individuals. Many were products of wealthy bloodlines. Some were bankers; others began in other industries but got into banking because that was where the real power was. They operated mostly behind the scenes, not as national political elites but as an international elite or superelite. For them, natural borders and loyalties were increasingly meaningless. Much has been written about the Rothschilds who discovered in the late 1700s that it was possible for bankers to get rich by loaning money to governments, extending the loans encouraging government to become dependent on them, attaching provisions to the extensions calling for specific policies, and then tallying up the interest. Other such bloodlines would soon follow (the Rockefellers and Morgans here in the US). BR BR Shortly before the turn of the last century, Cecil Rhodes, the British diamond tycoon who had operated for years in South Africa, willed a significant portion of his huge fortune to the establishment of a secret society in England. Its purpose was to lay the foundations for world government, under the theory that world government alone could bring about world peace and security for all. The Rhodes Scholarship program at Oxford University was drawn from this fortune as an effort to bring the "best and the brightest" under the influence of a certain body of ideas. Bill Clinton, of course, was a Rhodes Scholar for a while (although he didnt complete the program). Many other influential politicians, journalists, and writers in the English-speaking world have been Rhodes Scholars. BR BR So-called conspiracy theorists have written extensively of organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, founded in 1921, the Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973, and the European Bilderberg Group (which, interestingly, has no home page of its own) as having the same goal: the creation of a world government with themselves at the helm. These groups have been accused of having done everything from financing the rise of both Communism and Nazism to bankrolling both sides in World Wars I and II. Allegations abound that they set about to gain control over both major political parties in the US, the US legal system, the US media (including all major newspapers and television networks as well as the Hollywood entertainment culture), and finally and especially so-called public education at all levels from kindergarten to public universities. They would operate by seeing to it that programs and projects that would help advance the agenda of centralization were well funded, while others were left to fend for themselves not knowing why.

[CTRL] West Nile Virus Update
3 PEOPLE TEST POSITIVE FOR WEST NILE VIRUS - --- 2 Individuals Are Hospitalized In Stable Condition, and One Individual Has Been Released From The Hospital 4 New Mosquito Pools Also Test Positive for West Nile Virus New York City Health Commissioner Neal L. Cohen, M.D., announced today [12 Sep 2000] that 3 additional individuals have tested positive for West Nile virus in New York City: a 77 year-old man from Florida who was staying in Canarsie, Brooklyn, is hospitalized in stable, and improving condition; a 54 year-old man who is known to spend time in both Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Cliffside Park, N.J. is hospitalized in stable, and improving, condition; and a 40 year-old woman from Castleton Corners, Staten Island, who has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. The laboratory results were obtained by tests performed at the New York City Department of Health's laboratories, and specimens have been sent to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for further confirmation. There is now a total of 11 people who have been diagnosed with West Nile virus in New York City in 2000. Dr. Cohen made this announcement at a news conference this evening with Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. The Florida resident who was staying in Brooklyn became ill on 27 Aug 2000, was admitted to the hospital with encephalitis on 3 Sep 2000, and remains hospitalized in stable, and improving, condition. The man who has been known to spend time in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Cliffside Park, N.J. became ill on 31 Aug 2000, and was admitted to the hospital with encephalitis on 4 Sep 2000. He remains hospitalized in stable, but improving, condition. The Staten Island woman became ill on 2 Sep 2000, was admitted to the hospital on 5 Sep 2000 and was released from the hospital on 11 Sep 2000. "We will continue our extensive public outreach activities to inform the public about our spraying activities for West Nile virus, including scheduled radio announcements on WCBS radio, the City's West Nile Information Line, the Health Department's website, print media, and other media outlets. In addition, our spraying activities are escorted by New York City Police Department vehicles with loudspeakers to help make individuals in the vicinity of scheduled spraying operations aware of spraying activities that will take place in that area," Dr. Cohen concluded. MOSQUITO FINDINGS The positive West Nile findings announced today include the 4 mosquito pools on Staten Island: 3 from Grasmere (one pool was collected on 8 Aug 2000, one pool was collected on 25 Aug 2000, and one pool was collected on 26 Aug 2000), and one pool from Rossville (collected on 25 Aug 2000). All of these areas were sprayed subsequent to these findings.

[CTRL] NAAFA Speaks Out Against Removing Fat Toddler from Home
The group's website, http://www.naafa.org, also has an update regarding how the judge in this case has thrown out almost everyone who wished to testify on behalf of the parents. He has also banned the media from the courtroom... But I'm sure there is at least one member of this list, one who has consistently displayed a prejudice against women who don't measure up to some arbitrary standard of beauty, who will agree with the state's decision to take the child away from its parents... :-7 - Original Message - NAAFA Speaks Out Against Removing Fat Toddler from Home The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) Outraged as State Seizes Child from Parents for Not Controlling her Weight. Sacramento, CA, August 30,2000. The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) is speaking out against the practice of removing children from their homes simply because they are fat. This issue has recently moved to the fore as the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department removed Anamarie Martinez-Rodrigo from her home last week. The parents say they lost custody of the 3-year-old girl because they couldn't control her weight. According to Monika Mahal, the child's physician, Anamarie Martinez-Rodrigo is 3-feet tall and weighs 120 pounds, 50 percent taller and three times heavier than the average three-year-old. Monika Mahal advised that the child be removed from the parents custody. Miguel Regino and Adela Martinez say they have done everything they can for their daughter, including taking her to the doctor and following the doctor's directions implicitly. They are particularly confused about the sudden "life threatening nature" of Anamarie's weight, as tests conducted one month ago showed no undue stress on Anamarie's heart. Doctors frankly admit that they don't know why Anamarie is large for her age. Some tests have been conducted and many common causes have been ruled out. According to an article recently run in the ABQ Journal, Dr. Moody, who is in practice with Dr. Mahal admits, "I think everyone agrees that she has a slow metabolism and it is felt that she needs a very small number of calories per day. So I think it's hard to say it's overeating in the normal sense of the word." Yet Anamarie has been removed from the only home she knows because her parents can't control her weight. "I am astonished that there is anyone remaining in the medical community that would stretch the definition of abuse to include obesity, especially with a child," said Registered Dietitian and Psychotherapist, Mary Sue Aberenthy, MA. RD. Children are innately self-regulating regarding eating especially at the younger ages. Have you ever tried to feed a toddler more than they are hungry for? Usually it ends up on the floor or your face, as they will spit it out even with great coaxing. Young children generally know when they are full and stop eating." NAAFA medical experts also feel that the treatment prescribed by Anamarie's doctors may ultimately make her even larger. "We know for a fact that diets don't work in the long term," said Aberenthy. "Many studies show that diets based on food restriction result in permanent weight loss less than five percent of the time. Furthermore, these restrictions often slow down the metabolism and cause disordered eating habits. The net result is that most people end up larger than they started." Regardless of the medical facts of the case, removing a child from the home simply because she's fat sets a very frightening legal precedent. "Anamarie, just like other children with physical challenges, needs the united support of her family, friends, doctors, and community, said Sondra Solovay, JD, a legal consultant on weight-related issues and author of the book Tipping the Scales of Justice: Fighting Weight-Based Discrimination. "Instead of supporting the family and diagnosing any problems the little girl may have, the state and doctors are blaming the family for the girl's weight. Legally, the case is outrageous. It is a threat to all the parents of fat children. Custody decisions should always be based on fact, not prejudice. Here the state police have become the food police and a child was removed from a loving home just for being fat." "Frankly this is very frightening," said NAAFA chairwoman Leslie Di Maggio. I'm fat, and I raised a fat child. It's frightening to think that I could have been charged with abuse and my child could have been taken from me simply because he weighed more than the national average. As chairwoman, I see this as a very important human rights issue for NAAFA. We are going to fight for the rights of these children and their parents. I find it difficult to believe that Anamarie's weight will have as profound an effect on her health as the emotional scars she will bear from being wrenched from her home at such a tender age." ### A

During the Miner's strike in the early eighties, Arthur Scargill and his National Union of Miners nearly brought the Conservative Government down, with their year long strike. Margaret Thatcher used MI5 to spy on the miners and discredit Scargill. Leading police officers argued against the use of MI5 on the civilian population, they were ignored or replaced - if they proved too vociferous. Margaret Thatcher was the first Prime Minister for many a year to sit in on the Joint Intelligence Committee's meetings on a regular basis. Thatcher, as a trained scientist, would have been well aware of the usefulness of microwave weapons. They are impossible to detect unless you have a detector, dissidents have no idea these weapons exist and best of all, they are totally deniable. It may be that MI5 kept this research secret from Thatcher, but the resources the UK has put into these fearsome, so-called non-lethal weapons, is extensive. UK intelligence runs a fleet of microwave weapon carrying vans, as well as portable microwave weapons that can be deployed near the dissident's home. The vast expense can be disguised as communications equipment, for as well all know, microwave telephone communication is all the rage in our modern world. My research shows that the microwave telephone network also has the potential to be used as a major mind control weapon system to control the behaviour of the microwave phone users. Developed under the Conservative government, which was in power from 79-97, the UK secret, or black government, has at its disposal a fearsome array of mind control weapons. These abhorrent devices are euphemistically called non-lethal weapons by the UK military. In fact they kill you slowly be causing nerve damage, cancers, mental collapse leading to suicides or tissue failure such as heart attacks due to the cooking effect of the microwaves. Precisely modulated microwave radiation is used to influence brain function. Human behaviour and reactions can be entirely controlled by using pulse modulated microwave EM radiation. Pulse modulated microwaves are useful as the carrier for the mind control signals as they are able to pass through the skull, which is rather resistant to low level EM. The massive number of microwave antennae that dot the country, some of which are used for the microwave phone network, all use pulse modulated microwaves, which makes their use for a strategic mind control device against the civilian population in times of trouble, or rioting, crucial to modifying the behaviour of the general population. In modern democracies it is no longer viable to shot rioters, or torture dissidents by normal means, as the bad publicity is self defeating. Thus, microwave weapons have been developed by the UK's military intelligence as they leave no marks, or gaping wounds. This pulse modulated microwave carrier beam can then be used to carry signals. These signals are extremely low frequency recordings of brain electrical potentials, which have been recorded by neuro-medical researchers such as Dr Ross Adey's. Dr Ross Adey's research at the Brain Research Institute of the University of California, was funded by the CIA. In their Pandora project a catalogue of different brain signals for specific actions, emotions and pathological states of mind were recorded. It was found that when microwaves were used to fire these signals at victims' brains, they experienced the moods, behaviour, and the pathological states, carried by the signals. This meant that by mimicking natural brain frequencies, the human brain could be controlled remotely by use of extremely low frequency broadcast carried by pulse modulated microwave beams (ELF pulse modulated microwave remote mind control technology) It is now possible to broadcast mind control commands directly into the brain by use of microwave beams. All that is needed is a catalogue of every specific brain frequency for each - mood, action and thought. These catalogues of excitation potentials are available from Russian neuro-medical research institutes, so anyone with enough cash can have the same technology at their disposal as UK military mind control groups. (the psychological enforcement arm of MI5). The Aum sect bought microwave weaponry via their 50,000 Russian converts. Particular excitation potential, is then broadcast by pulse modulated microwave transmitter. This pulse modulated microwave beam has the ELF excitation potential frequency imprinted upon it. It was found that each behavioural set in humans has a distinctive frequency. There was one for anger, suicide, hysteria, trauma, serial killing, paranoia, lust, etc. Intelligence

[CTRL] Blowback: Austria the EU
From www.wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : Austria European Union lifts sanctions against Austria A blank cheque for Jörg Haider By Ulrich Rippert 15 September 2000 Back to screen version The 14 European Union governments lifted their sanctions against Austria on September 12. On the fringes of a conference of European Union (EU) Finance Ministers in Versailles last weekend, the EU partners discussed their further conduct in relation to the right-wing conservative government in Austria. The French President Jacques Chirac and his Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine had taken receipt of the 45-page report by the three wise men, which recommended the imminent lifting of the sanctions against Austria. In July, the European Court of Human Right had assigned the former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, ex Spanish Foreign Minister Marcelino Oreja and the German expert in international law Jochen Frowein to examine the situation regarding human rights in Austria following the entry into government of the right-wing extremist Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ). Their report warns of the nationalist sentiments in Austria that were unleashed by the EU sanctions because these were falsely understood as being directed against the Austrian people. The effect of the sanctions would be counter-productive if they were maintained, which is why they should be ended. According to the report, the FPÖ should continue to be called a populist right- wing party with radical elements, since it had utilised xenophobic tendencies in its election campaign and had thus produced an anti-foreigner atmosphere and a great deal of insecurity. However, the FPÖ Ministers in Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel's (ÖVP) government were given a clean bill of health for their adherence to the values of the European Union. In Vienna, in the final judgement of the report, human rights and minority rights were dealt with no worse than elsewhere in the European Union. The report even comes to the conclusion that in some areas, particularly regarding the rights of national minorities, Austria's standards can be regarded as superior to those in other European Union states. The blank cheque could hardly have been more unambiguous for Jörg Haider and his rightwing FPÖ. A victory all the way down the line, and, some apologies are probably now due, were former FPÖ chairman Haider's comments from his office as state premier in Carinthia after the final report was released. Responding to Chirac's warning that the report was not a licence to do as he pleased and that reservations remained regarding the FPÖ's participation in government, Haider answered that the French shirt pocket Napoleon had better be more restrained after experiencing his own debacle and Waterloo. Haider's placeman at the head of the FPÖ and Austrian Vice-chancellor Susanne Riess-Passer stressed in the Viennese magazine Format: if the sanctions are not removed or are only temporarily lifted by the Biarritz summit, a referendum will be carried out. Federal Chancellor Schüssel supported the ultimatum: we will wait until the European Union summit in Biarritz in mid October. In only six months, diplomatic sanctions against Austria have brought about exactly the opposite of their authors' stated aims. Instead of putting a stop to rightwing populism, it is stronger today than ever before. The reason for this is the aggravation of social and political tensions in Europe. From the outset the anger of the European governments with Haider was not directed against his xenophobia and intolerance, since the persecution of and discrimination against foreigners belongs to everyday political life in the European Union. Rather they were afraid of the social tensions that Haider had brought to the surface, nearly winning him the Austrian chancellorship. Over the course of the last months the political climate in Europe has intensified. For the bulk of the population, the process of European unification, which is taking place completely under the sign of the global corporations and financial institutions, means ever newer and harder burdens in the form of tax rises, cuts in social security benefits and rising unemployment. The constant fall in the value of the single European currency the euro is accelerating this development further. Regardless of the present advantages the low value of the euro brings for exports, it is a result of the enormous pressure of the international financial markets to create American conditions throughout Europe and to eliminate the last remnants of state regulation and social security. In such a way, broad social layers are pushed to the margins and have not the slightest possibility of affecting political decisions. They are completely cut off from official policy-making. The planned expansion of the European Union to the East will continue to strengthen the fears and rejectionist tendencies towards the EU. One needs only to look at East
[CTRL] [7] COCA-COLA, THE CIA, and the COURTS
from: http://www.skolnicksreport.com/cocaccc7.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www.skolnicksreport.com/cocaccc7.html"Sherman Skolnick's Report/A - Home Page Sherman H. Skolnick Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] COCA-COLA, THE CIA, and the COURTS Part Seven of a Series by Sherman H. Skolnick A real-life drama and the players ROBERT E. KOLODY- For upwards of ten years a local lawyer he trusted, DANIEL V. HANLEY, reportedly elicited from Kolody details of his legal strategy plans. Kolody contends that The Coca-Cola Company and their marketing adjunct, Simon Marketing, stole Kolody's intellectual property, being storyboards and designs. Kolody had difficulty getting a Chicago-area attorney to pursue his claims. Since 1997, Kolody's case has been in the U.S. District Court in Chicago, No. 97 C 190. In February, 1999, Kolody retained Dan Ivy, an outspoken attorney from Arkansas. As required under the local federal rules in Chicago, Ivy designated Hanley as "local counsel", meaning Hanley has to be informed of all proposed court filings and procedures. SHERMAN H. SKOLNICK- As a long-time court reformer and TV Show moderator/producer I began investigating the Coca-Cola case. In May, 2000, in the presence of Ivy and Kolody, I interview Hanley Skolnick "Does Coca-Cola and their attorneys know the legal strategy of Robert Kolody and his attorney Dan Ivy here?" Daniel V. Hanley "Yes". Skolnick "Really? How could they know?" Hanley "My sister is MEDIA BUYER FOR COCA-COLA." (Emphasis added.) From the signed court Declaration by Skolnick and Skolnick's court testimony made in the presence of Daniel V. Hanley, 8/22/00. After the May interview, I find out that his sister, Mary Hanley, is Associate Media Director at the advertising agency DDB, with offices worldwide. And get this DDB represents both Coca-Cola and their alleged "competitor" Pepsi-Cola, an apparent Anti-Trust violation situation. TRIBUNE COMPANY- As the parent firm of the Tribune media empire, the Tribune Company owns the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, and other newspapers around the country as well as numerous radio and TV stations. Tribune Company is reportedly trying to strong-arm COCA-COLA for more advertising dollars, by reportedly leaning on DDB. But Tribune has not been interested in publicizing the Kolody suit against Coca-Cola. U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE BLANCHE M. MANNING, Chicago- The Tribune, without publicity in their newspapers, radio, and TV, has sought to intervene in one of Judge Manning's criminal cases to accuse her of secret proceedings and other unlawful acts and doings. [See previous parts of this series.] The apparent purpose? To blackmail the Judge and put pressure on Coca-Cola and DDB for more ad bucks, to relieve the Tribune's huge debt overhang caused by merging with the Los Angeles Times. In a series of court-filed Motions by Kolody, he documents how Judge Manning has been stuffing the Court records with "judicial perjuries", straight out lies used to justify arbitrary and corrupt rulings favoring Coca-Cola. GEORGE LAZARUS- As the Chicago Tribune's long-time, widely-read columnist on marketing and advertising, Lazarus on 8/15/00, runs an item "Mary Hanley, a group media director of DDB Chicago, was elected a senior VP of the agency" and includes a picture of her. MARY HANLEY- Selected to be a top official of DDB Advertising, she is reportedly unavailable to be a witness at an important hearing in Kolody's case set for 8/22/00. Her brother, DANIEL V. HANLEY tells Kolody and Skolnick, in a conference call, that Mary Hanley is leaving the country for Ireland. Later, Hanley tells them she will be back in 15 days. [Is there a link to the IRA? See previous parts of this series.] While Kolody is listening on the phone, Skolnick interviews JILL ZEMANSKI, private secretary of Mary Hanley. Jill confirms that Mary Hanley represents COCA-COLA COMPANY. THE HEARING ON AUGUST 22, 2000- Informed by attorney Ivy that there are in Court present two witnesses, Skolnick and Kolody, prepared to testify that Judge Manning is committing a fraud upon her own Court in the Coca-Cola case, Judge Manning brings into the courtroom SIX FEDERAL POLICE to menace and intimidate Skolnick sitting in his wheelchair. The purpose of the hearing? For Judge Manning to hear and consider whether she herself has committed a fraud upon her own Court through the Judge falsifying the facts and filling the Court records with her "judicial perjuries". The Judge does NOT seem to understand that such a hearing with her presiding, is outlawed by Anglo-Saxon law, that is, for a person TO SIT AS A JUDGE IN THEIR OWN CASE. Ivy tells the Judge that the remedy he and his client Kolody seek is for the Judge to expunge from the Court records all of Judge Manning's rulings favoring The Coca-Cola Company and Simon Marketing. Judge Manning said she will take the matter of her own fraud upon the Court and instances brought up of newly discovered evidence, "under
[CTRL] Poujadism
From http://www.lineone.net/dictionaryof/difficultwords/d0010289.html Poujadist n. denoting a right-wing bourgeois political movement in France in the 1950s led by Pierre Poujade. From http://www.antiwar.com/justin/pf/p-j091500.html }}Begin Behind the Headlines by Justin Raimondo Antiwar.com September 15, 2000 EURO-REVOLUTION! As a European-wide movement against gas taxes brings not only England but large sections of the continent to a grinding halt, the Left in power is snarling and hissing, sputtering that these aren't "the workers" that their socialist policies were supposed to benefit. As Polly Toynbee, queen bee of the New Laborite columnists, despairingly put it in the Guardian: "But this isn't the unions, this is the world turned upside down. This is a fight against the forces of conservatism a popular front of Poujadist small businessmen, farmers, cab drivers and truckers, all supported with weasel words by Mr. Hague and the right-wing press. There is no ready-made language to describe this particular enemy of the people, the militant chambers of commerce." THE UNKNOWN SOLDIERS Ms. Toynbee is quite right, there is no ready-made word to describe the new revolutionaries who are bringing governments to their knees all across Europe. Unlike the archetypal "workers of the world," in whose name the socialists of all countries speak, these guys aren't looking for any government action to save them, succor them, or "liberate" them from the responsibilities of life in a capitalist society. Instead, they want to get government off their backs. And unlike the official victim groups of race, gender, and sexual "orientation," they aren't demanding special legal status, apologies for past injuries, or reparations; they are not lionized in the media, hailed as heroes, and interviewed on PBS (or the BBC). These are the unknown soldiers of liberty, whose organizations are largely ad hoc alliances, and whose voices are rarely heard in the media or the establishment political parties. Who are these guys? The New York Times describes them as "a mixture of truck, bus and taxicab drivers, farmers and small-business owners, all of whom say the increasing cost of fuel threatens their livelihoods. Not organized by a union or any one group, they have joined together out of a common desperation." THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN Desperate to get out from under the heel of their socialist rulers and the burden of a crushing taxation, the militance of the protesters is driven not only by the economic threat to their livelihood, but by the arrogance of the socialist elites. Ms. Toynbee is right on another score: this is the world turned upside down. With socialist governments in power in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Spain, the middle classes have taken the place of the proletariat as the new agency of revolution. A specter is haunting Europe the specter of Poujadism. . . . A HARBINGER In the 1950s, with French shopkeepers, small businessmen, truckers, and other self-employed citizens bent under the weight of oppressive taxation, Pierre Poujade, a grocer, led a largely middle-class rebellion that threatened to topple the French government and threw a scare into Socialists, bureaucrats, and liberal elitists everywhere. The whole point of this movement, which shook French politics to its foundations, was energized by a desire to preserve the economic viability of the self-employed middle classes. Squeezed between the rise of mega-corporations and the insatiable greed of government bureaucrats, the shopkeepers, farmers, and independent artisans and entrepreneurs of all sorts found their voice in the fiery polemics of Poujade, whose followers carried out similar direct action tactics against the French state and its corporate allies. Poujade's party, the Union for the Defense of Merchants and Artisans (UDCA), won 53 seats in the 1956 parliamentary elections. The movement didn't last long under assault from the government and the established political parties, and the wave of protest receded along with the political fortunes of the Poujadists. Caught between left and right, and overshadowed by the looming cold war standoff between the US and the Soviet Union, the Poujadists of yesteryear could not have succeeded. They were what we might call premature anti-globalists, clearly ahead of their time and their time, it appears, is now. . . THE EUROPEANIZATION OF POUJADE Unlike French Poujadism, which is invariably disdained by academic sociologists and political scientists as provincial to the point of "xenophobia," this is a European-wide movement: it started but did not end in France, where the government quickly capitulated. Instead, it leapt across the Channel, spilled over into the Low Countries, quickly arose in Germany, and is now reaching as far as Poland, Spain, Hungary, and Norway. In Britain, where the price of petrol (as they call it) is a whopping $4.50 a gallon, even the fishermen
