Wireless tracking devices raise privacy concerns

By ANICK JESDANUN, Associated Press

NEW YORK (October 29, 2000 3:30 p.m. EST
http://www.nandotimes.com) - Imagine walking by a Starbucks in an
unfamiliar city. Your mobile phone rings, and a coupon for coffee appears
on its screen, good only at that location.

How did your phone know you were even near that particular Starbucks?
What else does it know about you?

Enter location tracking, coming to a mobile device near you. Features that
one day can pinpoint your whereabouts to within the length of a football field
raise enormous privacy concerns, but they also offer enormous benefits.

The challenge will be determining where to draw the line.

Consider a technology to be unveiled Monday. Called Digital Angel, a
microchip worn close to the body promises to record a person's biological
parameters and send distress signals during medical emergencies.

But misused, these types of capabilities could amount to virtual stalking.

Cell phones, handheld devices, even car navigation systems will soon have
detailed tracking abilities, if they do not already. Services could begin
appearing within a year or so.

Much of the drive will come from a federal law that requires cell phones to
identify callers' locations to speed 911 emergency responses. If the
industry has to install expensive equipment anyway, why not use it also to
make money?

"There's going to be a dramatic increase in the amount of tracking that's
made possible, in part by services they don't know they have," said Daniel
J. Weitzner of the World Wide Web Consortium, which sets technical
standards for the Web.

Such tracking will let someone visit a Web site and automatically get
weather, movie showings or neighborhood restaurants, based on their
current location. If they're lost, they will be able to ask for turn-by-turn
directions. Those short of cash can be pointed to the nearest bank
machine.

But if the information is stored, location tracking could result in a 24-hour-a-
day record of a person's whereabouts.

So what if a divorce lawyer wants to check if someone's been cheating, or
if a social service agent wants to know how many times a person has
visited a candy store with his child?

"You have to ask, `Who gets how much information?"' said Jason Catlett,
chief executive of Junkbusters Corp., a non-profit privacy monitoring group
in Green Brook, N.J.

"Telephone records are routinely subpoenaed. They can be very intrusive,
but far more intrusive is a complete log of your physical movement."

Companies looking to gain business from location tracking say that the
worst-case scenarios presented are impractical to implement in reality.

"There's no way a database is large enough or cost effective for Starbucks
to monitor everyone's location on the offchance they can acquire a
customer," said Jason Devitt, chief executive of Vindigo, which offers 11
city guides through Palm organizers.

Lee Hancock, founder and chief executive of go2 Systems Inc., said any
short-term gains from such tactics would be offset by losses if they alienate
customers.

Leading wireless and advertising companies agree that they must tread
carefully because mobile devices are inherently more personal than
desktop computers.

At DoubleClick Inc., whose ad-targeting system generated much of the
Net's privacy complaints, officials won't deliver location-based ads right
away. The company wants to develop privacy standards first, using lessons
from the desktop.

"We've all learned what to do and what not to do, and we can port that over
to the wireless market," said Jamie Byrne, strategic director for emerging
platforms at DoubleClick.

Any such ads will likely target a metropolitan region, rather than a city block,
because audiences for block-by-block ads would be too small, Byrne said.
Ultimately, he said, such targeting will help subsidize wireless services that
customers want.

Jonathan Fox, director of business development at advertising company
Engage Inc., says location-based profiles would not carry names and other
personal information.

TRUSTe, which runs a seal-of-approval program for Internet privacy
policies, is looking to develop guidelines for mobile applications. Details
that remain to be worked out include how to notify customers on a phone's
small screen.

"It's more difficult to retrofit policies if you're already down the road," said
Robert Lewin, TRUSTe chief executive. "Here, we have the opportunity to
do it right the first time."

In many ways, a person's whereabouts are already being tracked.

Employee security cards record when people enter buildings. Discount
grocery programs track what people buy, where and when. Electronic toll-
payment systems know when someone traverses a tunnel or bridge.

Current phones can pinpoint callers to a few miles by determining the
location of the cell tower used to handle the call.

Palm VII organizers use similar techniques to narrow a user to a particular

 34 men died on that ship the USS Liberty - 171 wounded, and while our
 AMERICAN sailors lie upon the decks wounded those cowardly bastards in
 planes for which the USA paid - bombed and napalmed our men as some lie
 dead and others dying.

 This ship was in International Waters

How do you know?

 the Israelies lied and said
 they flew no colors,

Do you know that the Liberty was an electronics packed spy ship? Or was
it just on a Mediteranian pleasure cruise while a full scale war was
going on?

 but it was their intent to sink this ship - dead
 men tell no tales but a message got through.

Maybe it was?

 This is carefully documented and recorded.I have concluded Joshua,
 you are a stupid liar - as for the Cole, well hisory repeats itself for
 the Israelies like BARAK the Thug (you knowo he stole that name from the
 bible

You mean like ABRAHAM Lincoln did?

 and one record revealed he was Lithuanian parentage but other
 Russian) real name BRUG.they are just indecent inhumane killers -
 assassins.

Yes they are sweetie.


 So Remember the USS Liberty and the garbage that tried to kill them all.

 Time to cut off funds to these parasites on the back of the American
 public - time for Arabs to wake up and put a stop to the slaughter of
 the innocents.

Are you an Arab? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Israelie Planes - Remember the USS Liberty.

Note Joshua, even the little motor boats that were used to torpedo the
USS Liberty - but those animals napalmed and bombed that ship for 45
minutes in International
Waters..and the Egyptians were to be blamed by the Israelie but they
got caught.

Further a lot of Navy people remember the Liberty and will remember the
Cole..and do not think their bodies some of which were burnt beyond
recognition will be forgotten.

Saba and No I am not Arabic - and you are no Jew Joshua unless Ashkenazi

This web site is dedicated to the memory of  thirty-four fine young men
who gave their lives on June 8, 1967, defending the  USS Liberty
against a sustained air and sea attack by the armed forces of the State
of Israel
During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American
intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in
international waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats.
Thirty-four men died and 171 were wounded.
The attack has been a matter of controversy ever since. Survivors and
many key government officials including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and
former JCS Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer say it was no accident. Israel
and its supporters insist it was a "tragic case of misidentification"
and charge that the survivors are either lying or too emotionally
involved to see the truth.
Israel claims they mistook our ship for the out-of-service Egyptian
horse carrier  El Quseir and that we brought the attack upon ourselves
by operating in a war zone without displaying a flag. Not so. We were in
international waters, far from any fighting, and flew a bright, clean,
new American flag.  The flag we flew is on display at the National
Cryptologic Museum, Fort Meade, Maryland and can be seen there, or in
the USS Liberty Images Archive.
Our commanding officer, Captain William Loren McGonagle, received the
Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepedity
at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty during the
attack.  The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award our
country can bestow. To avoid embarrassing our attackers, Captain
McGonagle's Medal of Honor was presented in a quiet ceremony in the
Washington Navy Yard instead of in the White House by the President as
is customary.
The USS Liberty Web Page presents part of the story along with some
historical information and links to other sources.

The USS Liberty Memorial Web Site is a creation of  Jim Ennes and  Joe

Prudy,
this is so true and cannot be said often enough. I have long awaited the
church to make some sort of remediation on this situation but suspect that
will never happen while humanity starves itself into a state of total
degeneration trying to adhere to these teachings.  And the idea that women
"like" abortions is ludicrous and misogynistic in the extreme.  I think most
women get abortions out of desperation and financial hardship such as being
abandoned by the man who fathered the child, if you can call it that.  Where
are the men in all these abortions?  I suspect they are often irresponsible
and quickly move on to create yet more unsustained pregnancies.  If things
were ideal, I think abortions would be rare indeed.  Any procedure carries
with it a certain amount of risk, all of which is placed on the woman.  the
term "safe" abortion is relative only.  It is a risk not many men I know
would be willing to take yet as you pointed out, they are the ones who
cannot be bothered with birth control in many cases.  That is why I support
the VAWA as this country has a long way to go in this area.

On this note, I recently saw the movie Cider House Rules and think it was
not as good as the book which I highly recommend.  It made me much more
understanding of the abortion issue.  I was adamantly opposed until I read
this book and it really revealed to me how women so often have we no choice.
The movie is well made and worth seeing if anyone is interested and does not
have time to read the book.  Women must speak out on these issues as men
sometimes fail to understand the ramifications of unwanted pregnancies not
having to be physically involved.

 Basically it's contraception and sterilization programs that we need.
 Contrary to the weird myths that "men" are constantly repeating, women do
not
 like abortion.  Apparently the Church does not mind watching deaths from
 starvation and disease occur.  I have lived in third world countries where
 the average family was ten, and the average wage extended to meat once
every
 month or two.  That would be fine if the diet was such as to make up for
the
 lack, but unfortunately it cannot.  I remember one family quite well.  It
was
 a village marriage with two normal children, one physically beautiful but
 very retarded, one with a very, very small head, and one who at the age of
 five was  the size of a normal toddler of about l8 months.  The woman
wanted
 to find a way to be sterilized.  In desparation she left her husband, and
he
 immediately contracted another marriage in the same village, and has since
 had many more children.  I do not know of their condition.  The Church
would
 deny all people in this world access to family planning.   Oh yes, there
is
 always abstinence, but it was this woman's desire for abstinence that
 resulted in the beatings that made her leave her husband.   The hideous
 poverty that plagues a large portion of the world's citizens gives the
 Church's lack of caring for the people suffering the plague of children
they
 cannot feed, develop or medicate  a truly ugly aspect.   Prudy

Living in an age of unreality

© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com


ST.  LOUIS, Mo.  -- Aldous Huxley said it best 56 years ago: "A
really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the
all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of
managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be
coerced, because they love their servitude.  To make them love it
is the task assigned, in present totalitarian states, to
ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.
But their methods are still crude and unscientific."

That was certainly true 56 years ago.  Today, I would suggest,
the biggest change is that the methods are less crude, more
scientific.

In fact, America is moving closer to totalitarianism and
servitude -- and most people don't even recognize it, let alone
need to be coerced.

"What are you talking about, Farah?" I hear some of you saying.
"We're in the midst of a spirited presidential election cycle in
America.  How can you say we're not free and moving toward
dictatorship?"

The sorry state of the presidential debate is a case in point.
Both of the two major candidates are running campaigns calling
for increased federal government spending and, thus, more
intrusion in and regulation of the lives of individual Americans.

Vice President Al Gore makes no bones about what he wants -- he
would like to micro-manage every facet of American life.  Gov.
George W.  Bush, on the other hand, pays lip service to limited
government, but his programs betray the rhetoric.


Social Security is a hopeless Ponzi scheme that takes far more
money from people than it returns.  But neither of the viable
candidates dares tell the public that the emperor has no clothes.
That would be "political suicide," the consultants and polls
show.  Therefore, no debate on the merits of Social Security
takes place.

Medicare is another bureaucratic mess.  But does anyone call a
spade a spade? Not a chance.  Don't want to risk losing the
senior citizen vote.

The federal government has no business at all in education.
Washington has already made a bloody mess of school policy.  But
both major candidates would spend more on it and get Washington
even deeper into a command-and-control, one-size-fits-all,
top-down form of management.  To hell with the Constitution!

Even a program as fraudulent, unnecessary and un-American as the
National Endowment for the Arts is a non-starter in this
campaign, just as it has been with the Republican Congress that
has voted it budget increases every year since 1994.

I met over the weekend here with a group of doctors, the
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.  These people
understand what government intrusion has meant to health care in
this country.  And with either of the leading candidates, it's
bound to get worse. Many of these doctors are opting out of the
Medicare system -- not because they don't want to treat the poor,
but because of the inefficiency, red tape, government snooping
and blatant illegality of it all.

Some of these doctors treat their poor patients for free, rather
than get involved with Medicare.  But nobody in politics or the
media establishment seems to hear their concerns, their anguish,
their common-sense analysis of what is truly wrong with our
health-care system.

What's wrong with it is there's too much government involvement
now.  And Washington's prescription is more involvement, more
regulation, more control.

This is not an accident.  I don't believe most politicians in
Washington are stupid.  They have an agenda.  And that agenda is,
in a word, "power."

The debate is rigged.  It's not really a debate at all.  The
ground rules don't permit the introduction of real controversy,
root problems and meaningful questions.

Huxley saw through it 56 years ago when he looked at the
totalitarian regimes of his day.  The methods were crude and
unscientific.  They've become more perfected.

The schools and the newspapers now serve the state blindly just
as the old propaganda ministries once did.

Are we there yet?  Have we reached our destination on the road to
totalitarianism and servitude?  If not, we're well on our way.

And, given the Orwellian state of the presidential debate in this
age of unreality, we're sure to be a step or two closer come Jan.
20, 2001.

George W. Bush, who is poised to become the leader of the world's last
remaining superpower, has never been to Paris, London, Moscow, Tokyo or
many other major cities of the world, according to information from his
own campaign.

Indeed, the campaign claims only three overseas trips by the 54-year-old
Bush: one to China when his father was U.S. envoy, one to the Middle East
with a group of governors and one to Gambia as part of a U.S. delegation.

PEDOPHILES, PROMIS, MICROSOFT  THE P.E.T. PROJECT

Posted By: Rayelan
Date: Monday, 30 October 2000, 12:57 a.m.

ITALIAN POLICE CRACK PORN RING

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_995000/995016.stm

"The tapes were supplied by an international paedophile ring based in
Russia."

"The software company Microsoft, and the FBI in the US, have been helping
the Italian police."

"The police set up a filter on the main Microsoft internet provider in
Italy "

"Through Interpol, the Italian police have asked the Russian police to
re-arrest a Russian citizen who is believed to be in charge of the
paedophile ring uncovered in Moscow."

FROM RUMOR MILL NEWS:

The BBC article on the child porn ring that was cracked by the Italian
police ties together a number of stories that Rumor Mill had published over
the years.

The world wide epidemic of pedophilia was first introduced to Rumor Mill
News readers in an article written by Gunther Russbacher, a Special
Operations (SOG) Field Team leader who was Navy Intelligence attached to the
CIA.

In the article, Operation Clydesdale, Russbacher described a Special
Operations Group that was fielded behind the Iron Curtain. The SOG was
created under the auspices of the United States attorney's office in New
York City. The U.S. Attorney in that area was Rudolph Guiliani.

The article describes the field operation, but it does not go into the years
of preparation that went into the operation. The operation was ready to rock
and roll in 1986, but the preparations for the operation had begun many
years before.

Pedophile porn films are some of the hardest porn films in the world to buy.
The film makers and distributors of "child porn" are extremely reluctant to
make new contacts. They only trust people who have been in the business for
years.

In order to gain admittance into the outer fringes of these child porn
rings, a elaborate network of government controlled "porn" businesses had to
be created.

One of the first businesses to go "on line" was the 900 "sex lines". It was
created to give the operative who started it an entryway into the world of
porn. The 900 Sex numbers were wildly successful. Not only did they open the
door to the underground porn world, they generated lots of money and
information. The sex lines were so successful it was decided that they would
be continued as a way of creating "off budget" funds for covert operations
as well as gathering information. These government run sex lines are still
in operation today.

The next step was the creation of a mailing list. This was done to discover
who among the callers liked "kiddie porn" The callers to the 900 line were
promised a free gift. To get the gift, they had to give their address.

Step three was the creation of a catalog filled with porn films and other
sex paraphenalia.

Step four was to use the catalog as an entry way into the world of "hard
porn" and "kiddie porn".

Step five was setting up porn film companies to create films for the catalog
and gain further acceptance into the porn world.

Step six was money laundering. This step overlapped with other crimes such
as drug dealing, spying, taking bribes, and general corruption on the part
of world leaders.

Step seven was the creation of software that could track money launderers on
a world wide basis. (Step eight was getting this soft ware into the right
places, but this story is too long to tell right now.)

The PROMIS software was modified so that it could track money, and steal
money out of the accounts of crooks. (Charles Hayes and the Fifth Column
Warriors was an early part of this operation.)

The modification that allowed PROMIS to track and steal money was not the
one put in place by the United States government. This modification was
created by members of the P.E.T. SOG. They created it so that the control of
the PROMIS back door was passed into their hands.

After "The Patch" was created, it was sold to the institutions who were
using PROMIS. These institutions were told that the "patch" would keep the
US government from using the PROMIS "back door" to spy on them. The "patch"
was more than just software. It incorporated Artificial Intelligence, (AI).

If the "firewalls" put in place by the Institutions detected the "patch" at
work, doing its snooping and stealing, the "patch" had the ability to
transform itself and appear as merely a "patch".

The "PROMIS Patch" was marketed to the financial institutions who are
laundering money as a way to keep the U.S. out of their business. The
"PROMIS Patch" merely transferred the "back door" entry way from the United

 Conspiracy Fact vs. Government Fabrication
 http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/mbs.cgi/mb1075995



 Conspiracy Fact vs. Government Fabrication
 by Ian Williams Goddard

 The question was recently put to me in the course of an
 internet dialog regarding conspiracy theories, "Ian, can you
 give examples of conspiracy theories which have been proven
 true?" Toward the satisfaction of this question I offered
 the following:

 IAN: If we define "proven true" as "that which is accepted
 by the GovtMedia," and thus by the majority of people, I'd be
 hard-pressed to point to a conspiracy "proven true."

 If we define "proven true" as "consistent with facts," then
 there are many conspiracy theories proven true, such as:

 CONSPIRACY THEORY 1: Attica prison guards killed all the
 prisoners and hostages during the 1971 Attica prison riot.

 FACT: The GovtMedia reported that the prisoners cut the
 hostage's throats. Headlines even read "I Saw The Slit
 Thoughts." Recently, 25 years later, the man who did the
 autopsies, Dr. Baden, said on the HBO series "Autopsy" that
 the guards shot everyone and the stories to the contrary
 were a Big Lie. Yet the media line is still the govt line. It
 becomes clear after a little research that the media serves
 the State.

 CONSPIRACY THEORY 2: Many people who died during the
 final assault on the Branch Davidian community in Waco, TX,
 were killed by the FBI, not at the hands of Davidian members
 as reported. The GovtMedia con- spires to cover-up and
 censor facts proving this.

 FACT 1: In November of '93, pathologist Dr. Rodney Crowe,
 who did autopsies on surviving bodies from the Waco fire,
 said on the Maury Povich Show that the children who died of
 blunt-force trauma were in fact * crushed to death after a
 tank collapsed a concrete wall on them. * The children and
 their mothers -- over 40 women and children -- were in this
 concrete room ( which the govt called "the bunker" ) trying
 to survive, not to kill themselves as the GovtMedia would
 have us think. They were all killed. The GovtMedia told us
 that these children were "beaten to death by their parents
 in the final moments." Dr. Crowe was irate about this gross
 example of GovtMedia disinformation.

 FACT 2: Medical examiner Nizaam Peerwani testified at the
 Davidian's trial that three women and six children in that
 concrete room died of suffocation *before* the fire. He
 suspects it was due to CS gas (Trial transcripts: 5979,
 6029). Did you hear about that on the news? Nope. Ms. Reno
 said she does not think CS can be lethal to children, yet the
 label on all CS canisters says that CS used indoors can be
 fatal to children. Before the fire, a tank shot several *
 exploding * CS rounds point- blank into that small room filled
 with women and children. Mt Carmel was heavily bugged, so
 they had to know where the women and children were.
 Notice how these *facts* are censored from all news
 coverage. That is itself proof of conspiracy to cover-up
 mass murder. More:

 FACT 3: According to former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey
 Clark, infra-red (FLIR) video taken from the FBI's own
 helicopter proves that the FBI fired heavily with
 full-auto-machine-guns into the Mt Carmel center just as the
 fire started, which was when people would most likely try to
 exit. The FLIR video also proves that Davidians did NOT fire
 out at the tanks on that day as reported by the GovtMedia.
 That bit of disinformation was a key pretext to speeding up
 the demolition of the building. Ramsey Clark will be using
 this FLIR video in upcoming wrongful death suits against the
 so-called "Department of Justice." Ramsey Clark spoke about
 this FLIR video footage at the April 19, 1996 memorial
 gathering in Waco, TX.

 FACT 4: Toxicologist Dr. William Marcus, testified at the
 Congressional Hearings on Waco that the CS molecule
 contains a "cyanide radical" that could have been
 transdermally absorbed by the children due to their thin skin.
 CS also converts to hydrogen cyanide when burned. In fact,
 surviving bodies where found to contain very high levels of
 cyanide. Dr. Marcus also observed that CS is a heavy particle
 that was suspended in the air like a gas only for a brief
 period, carried by the flammable and toxic agent methyl
 chloride, thus CS particles fall quickly to the ground.

 The FBI calculated that if spread evenly over the known sq.
 feet of indoor space, the tons of CS pumped in should not
 have exceeded safe levels. But this is a deception because,
 as CS quickly falls, very high concentrations would be found
 toward the floor along with the children and fallen adults,
 in fact, 10 to 100x higher than if uniformly distributed.

 I believe that these facts prove the conspiracy theory that
 the govt killed many or most of the people who died on April
 19, 1993 at Waco, TX. The facts also strongly suggest, to
 say the least, that the govt killed with intent. They also
 prove that the media censors all those facts that

2000-10-30 Thread Kris Millegan





consortiumnews.com - http://www.consortiumnews.com

In the campaign's final weeks, Gov. George W. Bush has charged that Al
Gore's Social Security program would create a $40 trillion debt by 2050.
But where does this astronomical figure come from?

An examination of the facts around Bush's figure indicate that it
overstates the real money that would go to Social Security recipients by
more than 400 percent.

The higher number is reached through an accounting device that applies a
compound interest rate to the actual dollar amount of $9.9 trillion. The
$9.9 trillion is the amount that the Democratic plan would transfer from
the general fund to the Social Security Trust Fund over the next half
century.

Airline Exec: Fl 800 DEFINITELY Downed By Missile



NOT that this is a great surprise to those MANY of us who know what
incredible evil our government is guilty of.

The interesting thing about this account, however, is that it relays the
firm belief of a high-level executive of a major airline -- as expressed
the DAY AFTER THE CRASH -- that the U.S. military was directly
responsible for shooting the jet down; in a horrifying screw-up
resulting from totally unauthorized and illegal "war games" the hot
shots were conducting over eastern long Island that fateful night.

And so many innocent people were killed.

Airlines Feared a 'Friendly Fire' Disaster; Have We Had Our First?

Joe


July 21, 1997

A day after the downing of TWA 800 last July, an executive of an
international airline invited me to lunch. From the moment I slid into
the banquette at his stodgy private club, I knew this was going to be a
different kind of lunch altogether."So what's your take on TWA 800?" the
executive asked before I could settle in.The question stunned me. Over
all the years I had known this guy, he never speculated on matters of
safety or security, and once said sourly, "Never say 'crash' to an
airline guy" when I jokingly asked about the "crash" of his company
stock price."Well," I stammered. "I mean, there's no 'good' news here.
If it was a missile, there's gonna be hell to pay. If it was terrorism,
the recriminations and the security measures will be positively fascist.
And if it was mechanical, it was catastrophic failure like we've never
seen before.""It was a missile," the executive said evenly. "Friendly
fire. We kept telling the military this would happen one day. And the
bastards just kept doing it and doing it. And now hundreds of people are
dead."I didn't say anything. We didn't even have water on the table yet
and here was this wild accusation from an airline guy I considered Mr.
Button Down. I took a quick mental inventory of what I knew about him:
He was former military, his son was a TWA pilot, and we'd had a brief
conversation a couple of months back when one of his airline's planes
was chased by two military fighter jets across the North Pacific."What
are we talking about?" I finally managed to mumble.Grimly, the executive
laid out his theory: TWA 800 took off, was picked up on radar by U.S.
fighters, and then was made the "target" by a giddy pilot. As so often
happens, this military pilot was playing an ad hoc war game: lock onto a
commercial jet, make believe its an enemy plane, then blow it out of the
sky. Only this time, the executive insisted, something went terribly
wrong and the game turned real."For years we've been complaining about
the military locking onto commercial jets and using them for target
practice," the executive said. "We go down to the Pentagon and bitch and
they promise it'll never happen again. Then, when it does happen again,
the brass says, 'no harm, no foul.' I think they just fouled."Over the
course of this very peculiar lunch, the airline executive also laid out
several eerie scenarios: Watch the government attempt to discredit, then
ignore, then awkwardly explain away the eyewitness accounts that support
the "missile theory." Watch the President make an unprecedented gesture
to the families of the TWA 800 victims. Watch how the cockpit recorders
will reveal no signs of crew comments indicating mechanical failure.
Watch how a mechanical problem will be vaguely blamed, yet no 747s will
be grounded.Most of all, he said, "Watch the players.""What do you mean,
'Watch the players?'""Joe," he said, as if quizzing a befuddled child,
"Who has the statutory authority to investigate air crashes in this
country?""Well," I said, "The National Transportation Safety Board,
except if...""Except if there is criminal activity involved and then the
FBI is in the mix.""So," I wondered, "What's the point?""Like I said,
watch the players. Forget about what they say and what they do.
Eventually, they will tell you its not a bomb, it not a missile, its a
mechanical. But watch how the FBI doesn't go away. If its a mechanical,
the FBI has no legal authority to be anywhere near the NTSB. But watch
how the FBI will never go away."I left that luncheon scared. I wondered
how a right-thinking, by-the-book airline

SATANIC CULTS -- PEDOPHILIA AND MIND CONTROL
Posted By: Rayelan
Date: Wednesday, 20 September 2000, 7:38 a.m.
In Response To: Beheading Same County as Pitchfork Murders (vonMonke)

Another beheading.
Are we dealing with the after effects of years of violent video games and
films, or is something else going on here? The county of Merced has been home
to some bizzare and horrific crimes.
More than 20 years ago, Stephen Stayner was kidnapped by a pedophile and held
as a sex slave for about ten years. His family lived in the area.
Several years ago, three tourists were kidnapped in Yosemite. Questions of
their fate gripped the nation for weeks. After the bodies of two of the
victims were found, an RMNews Source told us that they had been beheaded
before they were placed in the
trunk of their rented car and burned.
This piece of evidence had not been leaked to the media. RMNews did not leak
it either. Months later, another murder was committed in Yosemite. Yosemite
is approximately 30 miles from Merced. The murdered woman was also beheaded.
When her killer was found, the similarity of the second killing to the
Yosemite tourists found in the trunk, i.e. beheading; led to the solving of t
he earlier murder. The man who committed these murders is the younger brother
of Stephen Stayner.
About a month ago, in the town of Merced, a naked man killed two children and
terrorized three others with a pitchfork. And now, not more than 20 miles
from Merced, a young man has killed his mother by beheading her.
There is a pocket of "something" going on here. Either we have a Satanic
cult, or a mind-control operation, or a pedophile operation, or a combination
of all three. In an article on the front page of rumormillnews.com, called
Operation Clydes Dale, Gunther Russbacher describes a mission to rescue
children who were kidnapped by a Satanic pedophile group.
We also know from books written by the victims of satanic pedophile cults
that they were subjected to mind control. We also know that one or more of
the young men who killed
his school mates in the spate of school shootings, had attended satanic
circles.
We also know, that Colonel Michael Aquino, colleague of Anton Lavey, the
founder of the satanic Church of Set, ran a preschool on the Presidio Army
Base in San Francisco.
He and his preschool were investigated by the city of San Francisco and the
Army for pedophilia. Aquino has also been linked to many of the mind control
operations that went on
in Ft. Hood, Texas.
Ft. Hood is near Killean, Texas, where Luby's restaurant saw the mass murder
of 20 or more customers by a man who had been stationed at Ft. Hood. Both
these towns are close to Waco where the CIA ran the Life Management
Institute, LMI. LMI was a place where CIA operatives were trained in mind
control techniques. The late Paul Wilcher, in his 100 page letter to Janet
Reno, claimed that the Waco holocaust was the result of a mind
control operation that had gone out of control. Wilcher believed that the
Davidians were murdered to cover the tracks of this operation.
And now, in today's headlines, we have another beheading. This one occurred
in an area where bizarre murders and pedophilia have a track record.
The Merced area is also mentioned in the book, The Last Circle. From talking
with the author of that book, I know that an FBI agent ran a drug ring from
that area. This makes me wonder if he knew that area had some kind of "hands
off" policy regarding operations that looked like or were government
sponsored.
It is my belief that all around the country, there are pockets of government
sponsored mind-control operations. I also believe that many of them hide
under the cover of Satanic cults or
drug operations.
The reason for hiding mind control operations within satanic cults is the
need for torture in creating multiple personality disorders, MPD. Nazi
scientists were the first to discover that a person with MPD was the perfect
candidate for mind control and covert operations. If the pedophile operation
was ever uncovered, as were the McMartin Preschool pedophile case, and the
Omaha case known as The Franklin Cover-up, they could be linked to
1. Only perverted pedophiles, or
2. Only perverted pedophiles and satanists
Hidden under a cover of satanism and pedophilia, the government sponsors of
these operations believe they can never be traced back to a government
sponsored mind control operation. So
far none of them have been.
The reason torture and satanic cults go hand in hand with mind control
operations is the need for creating multiple personalities in the victims of
mind control. One personality can be programed to carry out a mission. This
personality would

"Police are treating the murder of a convicted paedophile gunned down at his
door in east London as a possible contract killing, Scotland Yard said last
night."
From Rayelan:
The Brits are right. It was a contract killing. But they shouldn't bother
trying to find the fellow. If this killing was done by the P.E.T. Project,
the Brits will have to start looking for the killers in Europol.
If you haven't read Operation Clydesdale, the report on the mission to
eradicate pedophiles, here is the link:
OPERATION CLYDESDALE--PEDOPHILE ERADICATION
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=907
The P.E.T. Project is a special assassination squad created in the wake of
the Belgium pedophile scandal to dispatch pedophiles. P.E.T. stands for
Pedophile Eradication Team. If the information I was given in 1996 is still
accurate, the PET Project is funded through Europol.

Paedophile gunned down on doorstep
By Jason Bennetto, Crime Correspondent
19 February 2000
Police are treating the murder of a convicted paedophile gunned down at his
door in east London as a possible contract killing, Scotland Yard said last
night.
The statement came only hours after they confirmed that more than 200
children are believed to have been abused by a network of paedophiles in
London care homes
It was reported last night that Bill Malcolm, a known paedophile with
previous convictions for child abuse, who later had other serious charges
against him dropped on a legal technicality, was killed by a single gunshot
wound to the head.
A spokeswoman said the attack happened on the doorstep of Malcolm's home in
Forest View Road, Forest Gate, yesterday evening. There are believed to be
two white male suspects. "A contract killing is one area of inquiry police
will be looking into, but it is too early to speculate now," she said.
Earlier police confirmed that seven people have been arrested and 11 council
workers suspended in the continuing police inquiry covering 20 years of
sexual and physical abuse.
Scotland Yard is still trying to trace suspected paedophiles who worked in up
to 25 children's homes in the south London borough of Lambeth.
The inquiry, codenamed Operation Middleton, was set up last year after a
former care worker in Lambeth was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court for abusing
12 boys. He admitted 35 offences on Merseyside and in Lambeth. The
London-based inquiry focused initially on Lambeth children's homes, but has
since expanded to local authorities nationwide.

Satanic Abuse in UK fits in Perfectly with PET
Posted By: Rayelan

In Response To: Re: THE P.E.T. PROJECT STRIKES AGAIN-PEDOPHILE KIL (Noah)

Noah,
As you know, many satanic cults have been created by government mind control
programmers as a breeding ground for future mind control victims.
Ritual abuse causes the personality to fracture into partial personalities.
These partial personalities are used by the mind control programmers to
"hide" programmed instructions.
If you remember from reading Operation Clydesdale--Pedophile Eradication--
the pedophiles were also satanists.
The question arises---
Are all pedophiles satanists?
Are all satanists part of government mind control experiments?
I think the answer is no...
But the PET Project sees no difference.. all are lumped together. It doesn't
matter if the pedophile is not part of a satanic cult or a government mind
control project... if he is unlucky enough to come to the attention of a PET
Project member, he is eliminated... ventilated... eradicated...
The same goes for ALL government mind control projects that employ satanic
cults. pedophilia and ritual abuse of children. The PET Project operates on
their own agenda and moral code. They are not subservient to any government
or group. They operate with complete immunity and authority. Their cover
changes from situation to situation...
I have had no contact with the PET member who briefed me on the Project since
1996--- but I have been told by my Sources that the unit is alive and well
and functioning autonomously as it was set up to do. In other words, once
they were fielded... they are not subject to recall or redirection.
Unless they are hunted down and killed.

OPERATION CLYDESDALE--PEDOPHILE ERADICATION

Posted By: Rayelan

Date: Saturday, 11 December 1999, 2:45 a.m.



?Message from Rayelan Allan:

My husband, Gunther Russbacher wrote the following dedication to the men who
accompanied him on the covert mission Operation Clydesdale and who never
returned.

This story describes a covert mission, in which Americans died in service of
their country. The men named in this story are some of the nameless stars
that are on the marble wall at CIA headquarters at Langley , Virginia.

I would like to dedicate this story to all the men, living, wounded and dead,
who have risked their lives in defense of American ideas, on missions so
secret that they can never be revealed to anyone.

Many of these men... (and women too), are your fathers, your brothers, your
husbands, your neighbors. They live double and triple lives. They live on the
edge, always ready to spring into action in the need arises. They have no
real lives of their own. They live in a constant “on call” state. When the
call comes, they never know if they will come home dead or alive. They never
know if they will see their wives and children again.

These men (and women) are the unsung heros of America’s secret wars. When
Gunther wrote this, he took the time to add the family side of his life. The
way in which he wrote this article allows people to finally get a glimpse of
the lives covert operatives lead. With this understanding, I rededicate this
article to all the men and women who have led or still lead the life of a
covert operative.

UPON AN UNSUSPECTING POPULACE. IT IS A STORY ABOUT A GROUP OF RUTHLESS MEN,
WHO HAD CHOSEN TO VIOLATE THE VERY SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE AS WE HAVE COME TO
KNOW IT.

IT IS ALSO A STORY ABOUT THE MEN, WHO, AGAINST ALL ODDS, POSSESSING EXTREME
PERSONAL DEDICATION, WERE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES IN THE ATTEMPT TO
RESCUE A YOUTH FROM SURE AND CERTAIN DEATH, AT THE HANDS OF AN INTERNATIONAL
WHITE SLAVERY RING.

THE YOUTH WAS STOLEN AND FORCED TO COMMIT THE MOST VILE AND VULGAR ACTS FOR
THE PERVERSE ENJOYMENT OF OTHERS, WHILE CAMERAS RECORDED EACH EXPLICIT SEXUAL
ACT FOR ALL POSTERITY. WHEN THEY WERE THROUGH WITH HIM, THEY NOT ONLY TOOK
HIS SANITY, BUT EVERYTHING HE HAD EVER CHERISHED AND HELD DEAR. THEY LEFT HIM
WITH NOTHING HE COULD TRULY CALL HIS OWN.

THIS YOUTHFUL LAD IS REMEMBERED HERE, ALONG WITH THE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR VERY
LIVES, IN ORDER THAT HE, AND THE MANY UNTOLD OTHERS MIGHT CONTINUE TO LIVE.

OPERATION CLYDESDALE

By: Gunther Karl Russbacher

It was a cold and wet Thanksgiving Day. The overnight temperatures had dipped
to near record levels, as we gathered in the formal dining room to begin the
special meal. I didn't think that there would be quite so many of us, as we
began the process of finding our seats. As always, I sat at the head of the
table, in one of the uncomfortable captains' chairs, all the while hoping
that the somber meal would pass without incident from the children. I glanced
in the direction of my eldest son, who at the time was age eight, but like
many of the children his age, going on sixteen. He was an innocent, living in
a world that didn't necessarily consider children to be innocent. Quickly, I
stole a hurried glance to the man seated to my right. An expression of
extreme pain crossed his brow, as he sank his eyes towards his dinner plate.
None of the men in the room were able to meet each others eyes. It was a time
of grief, abject sadness; a time for the tears we couldn't cry. The cold
anger of the men was evident throughout the strained meal. Everyone was
merely going through the motions, picking at the food, which was placed in
front of them. Three members of my Special Operations Group were dead. Two
others had sustained such severe injuries which would, in all likelihood,
preclude them from further service with the Group. The civilian death toll,
attributed to accidental and or stray rounds, for the entire operation stood
at four. The actual ordered or condoned sanctions exceeded a verified body
count of sixty-seven. Although the operation was considered a raving success
by Rudolph Guilliani, the United States Attorney for the District of New
York, we felt betrayed by and through the revocation of the Executive
Sanction which had fielded our unit, and given us clear and free hand to
terminate, with prejudice, any and all persons associated with the targeted
pedophile ring, both at home and abroad. We were stopped short of that mark

DISINFORMATION IS RAISED TO A NEW LEVEL

Posted By: Rayelan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Spy trap' probe now tied to U.S. and Britain

Murdered pair may have links to software plot

From Rayelan:

DISINFORMATION IS RAISED TO A NEW LEVEL

When information that is going to cause powerful people and governments lots
of problems is about to be released, the powerful people and governments have
to do something to siderail it before it is taken too seriously. One of the
best ways is to spread disinformation that will trivialize or discredit the
story. It appears this is now being done to the investigation that is
currently breaking in Canada.

For 8 months, Rumor Mill News has know about an investigation that will knock
the lid off ALL the crimes and treason that has been committed over the last
50 years.

We have hinted and hinted -- but we have said absolutely NOTHING that would
compromise the investigations in any way

However, there are other people, who either at the direction of their
government handlers or by the direction of their own large egos, have decided
to add their two cents to the mix. In so doing, they not only have taken-in
the Toronto Star, but they have muddied the waters so badly that other
newspapers may choose to drop this story.

That's okay -- because when the investigation is complete -- I assure you, It
WILL be released -- if not in North America, there are newspapers in Europe
who are still brave enough to print the truth. When the truth is finally
released -- the Rumor Mill will definitely let you know.

I am enclosing an article that muddies the waters so badly that many people
in media are now dismissing the story. It has been thrown in the category of
conspiracy theorists, along with Al Fayed and Oswald LeWinter.

Rumor Mill News knows who is responsible for contacting the Star and muddying
the waters. We have known for many years that this woman works with our
government. We have chosen to say nothing about her and not even mention her
name. She is dangerous. Oswald LeWinter and Les Coleman will vouch for this,
as will Rodney Stich and Michael Riconosciuto. I have wanted to ask all four
of them to write a short opinion of this woman, but I was advised to keep
quiet and stay out of the line of fire.

I would not even have said this much, if her disinformation had not muddied
the waters of the Canadian investigation. She may have muddied the waters --
but given time -- the water will clear and the truth will out.

I will add more on this later -- here is the article that appeared in the
Star

http://www.thestar.com/editorial/news/2828NEW01b_NA-MOUNTIE28.html

By Valerie Lawton

Toronto Star Ottawa Bureau

OTTAWA - RCMP investigators probing allegations spies hacked into top-secret
Canadian intelligence files are working with at least two foreign police
agencies, The Star has learned.

Sources say the Mounties have joined officers from Britain and a tiny police
department in California in interviews connected to their spy probe.

Those revelations add to the intrigue surrounding the investigation into
claims a secret ``trap door'' in doctored computer software allowed foreign
spies to hack into Canadian files and download sensitive intelligence
information.

Software debugged in `94

Oddly, the interest of the other police agencies connects the Mountie spy
probe to a double homicide and - coincidentally - to the aftermath of the
death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Two Scotland Yard detectives travelled to Canada in late February to
interview a former Israeli intelligence agent.

A father and son who were murdered apparently knew one of the key players in
the alleged plot to alter the software program.

That ex-spy, Ari Ben-Menashe, has said he was involved in a scheme to sell
rigged software - known as Promis - around the world.

The British were interested in talking to Ben-Menashe, now a Canadian
citizen, about what police have described as ``an allegation of attempted
deception.''

Sources say Ben-Menashe once met with Mohamed al-Fayed - father of Princess
Diana's lover, Dodi, and billionaire owner of the Harrods in London - and
that Scotland Yard detectives wanted to talk to him about that exchange.

Two Mounties investigating the possible breach of national security in
Canada, Sean McDade and Randy Buffam, sat in on that interview.

A Scotland Yard officer insisted the computer spying allegations ``wasn't
anything to do with our case whatsoever.''

Neither Scotland Yard nor the RCMP would explain why members of the RCMP's
National Security Investigations Section were present.

The Mounties have also co-operated with the police department in Hercules,
Calif.

 This morning, as Chris and I were going into the
 orchards, we heard two loud explosions followed by
 auto-weapons fire.  Later we got news from the IDF
 that Palestinians had mined the road just south of the
 Kibbutz and that they exploded the mines on an army
 vehicle.  One Israel wounded - two Palestinians dead.
 
 Yesterday, the Palestinians exploded a bomb under a
 bus with youth on board as it approached.  Shooting
 followed - some Israelis wounded, 2 Palestinians dead.
 
 The work in the orchard is about 1/2 over.  Today, 4
 Nazarenes are due to arrive to help with the harvest.
 That will be quite a relief.  It will free me to go to

 (13:35) Two dead, one seriously wounded in Jerusalem
 shootings
 
 In a severe escalation of violence in the capital, a
 30-year-old resident of Gilo was found murdered this
 morning near the neighboring Arab village of Beit
 Jala.
 
 In a separate shooting attack, an Israeli security man
 was killed and another was seriously wounded by
 Palestinians in eastern Jerusalem.
 
 It was Palestinians from Beit Jala who found the body
 of the Gilo resident, whose name has not been released
 for publication. They alerted the police who brought
 the body to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel
 Aviv for examination.
 
 Police suspect tht the motive for the attack was
 nationalistic. The victim's body was found with
 multiple stab wounds and he had been shot .
 
 The police spokesman said at a briefing that the
 resident had been missing from his home for the past
 48 hours.
 
 In the separate shooting attack across town, the two
 security men were hit at close range by a Palestinian
 assailant or assailants.
 
 One of the men was in critical condition and died
 shortly afterward. The other's condition was described
 as serious. They were hit in the head and neck.
 
 The men are 22- and 25-years-old and were employed by
 a private security company. The names have not been
 released pending notification of the families.

 Police believe this too was a nationalistically
 motivated attack although they are not ruling out a
 criminal motive.
 OC Northern Command warns of possible border attacks
 By David Rudge
 
 HAIFA (October 30) - The IDF is preparing for terror
 attacks along the Northern border and on Galilee
 communities following a series of serious incidents
 recently, including one yesterday in which shots were
 fired at soldiers on patrol.
 
 There were no casualties in the shooting near Moshav
 Zar'it in Western Galilee and the troops returned
 fire. There was a similar incident in the same area on
 Thursday in which a Lebanese gunman was reported to
 have been killed in the exchange of fire.
 
 Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh, OC Northern
 Command Maj.-Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi, and OC Home Front
 Command Maj.-Gen. Gaby Ofir met with heads of
 confrontation line communities yesterday.
 
 Ashkenazi and Sneh said there is reason to believe
 Hizbullah will try to heat-up the border and create a
 second front, in addition to the fighting in the
 territories.
 
 "We are preparing for the possibility of a resumption
 of [hostile] activities... The commanders of the
 various regions have met with security officers and
 leaders of the communities and I am here with you
 now," Ashkenazi said. "We need to be prepared for the
 possibility that terror attacks will resume along the
 border."
 
 Ashkenazi said Hizbullah is using Lebanon's claim to
 sovereignty over the Shaba farms region in the
 foothills of Mount Hermon as a pretext for its actions
 there.
 
 Security preparations are focused primarily on
 establishing a security fence along the entire length
 of the border. Ashkenazi said he hopes that most of
 the work will be completed by the end of November,
 although some sections, notably in the Mount Dov
 region, may not be completed until December.
 
 In the meantime, Mount Hermon has been closed to
 visitors until further notice for "security reasons."
 
 Earlier in the day, hundreds of Palestinians and
 Lebanese waving Palestinian and Hizbullah flags staged
 a protest near the former Good Fence crossing point
 north of Metulla. They

The New Cold War
In May 1994, to a packed house at the Almeida Theatre, Islington, London,
Noam Chomsky appeared in debate with John Pilger. Red Pepper hosted the
event; Harold Pinter was chair.
Hilary Wainwright [then political editor of Red Pepper; now editor]: Friends
and comrades, welcome to this first Red Pepper forum, and also to the
magazine. We wanted a way to present or re-establish the art of public
conversation. In a sense it's more creative, particularly in the complex
times we're in, than relying on an adversarial debate. It's more
participatory than just a lecture, and perhaps more personal and pleasurable
than a traditional public meeting.

It's appropriate that we're having this public conversation and that the
Almeida Theatre is our forum. I'd like to thank Jonathan Kent and Ian
McDiarmid for allowing us to have this theatre.

I don't need to introduce any of the three participants. They're all people
who are fearless in searching out the truth and then finding every possible
platform to make it public. But the more they discover the truth, the more
public platforms are closed to them. They're individuals who in their
particular chosen craft have achieved the highest possible skills, but
aren't bogged down by the narrow professionalism that has stifled British
political and intellectual life. In that sense they're that desperately
scarce resource, an engaged public intellectual. And just before handing
over to Harold Pinter I want to remember another exemplary public
intellectual - Ralph Miliband - who died last Saturday, and I think that his
determination to create an independent and internationalist left will
inspire Red Pepper and be one of the spirits behind this conversation.

Harold Pinter: Thank you. Let me just say that what I intend to do is embark
on this discussion for a while, and then in due course I'd like to invite
you to participate and ask any questions of Noam Chomsky and John Pilger
that you wish.

So let me kick off by saying that John, this title, the New Cold War, was
your suggestion because you believe, quite properly I think, that the term
the New World Order had been over used and was rather tired. So could you
define a little more precisely what you mean by the New Cold War?

John Pilger: Well, of course it's heavily ironic: the original Cold War
never ended. The Old Cold War was a war of attrition between the great
nuclear powers, but it was a rhetorical stand-off, too. So often we were
invited and manipulated to see it simply as a conflict between East and
West, yet the Cold War always was, and still is, a war against the majority
of humanity. It was a war fought with the blood of "expendable" people over
strategic position, resources and it was a war of control - it was an
imperialist war. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States
fought in the Third World was relatively insignificant compared with the war
fought by the US against people trying to improve their position in the
world. The Soviets never matched the Americans as imperialists; they were
lousy imperialists outside their own borders.

The US established a network of control throughout the world in the postwar
period, and that control has been shored up ever since. Now when the
Communist world collapsed, of course the excuse to fight this war against
the Third World collapsed with it, so other excuses had to be found, and
these have never really been satisfactory. For instance, during the Gulf
War, we went through a period of the "demon" excuse. Saddam Hussein was
elevated to new Hitler status. This didn't really work but it did for a
while; it certainly worked long enough for the US to lead a very
considerable force against Iraq and cause the deaths of perhaps 200,000
people, wrecking a large part of the Middle East economy.

There have also been excuses of the Noriega variety: the reason for invading
Panama was that Noriega was an international drug dealer, child molester and
pornographer, and whatever he was, he had to be caught. Well of course,
those weren't the real reasons at all. The US was demonstrating its power
yet again.

Panama began the New Cold War, in which an Orwellian language would be
employed that would make war equal to peace. For these actions against
dictators who had previously been in the pay of, and with a client
relationship to, the US, could be put down in the cause of a new peaceful
world. But of course this was so transparent, there wasn't really any basis
for people to take this on board, as many people hadn't been able to take on
board the Communist threat, so I think we're back now to a more transparent
Cold War - we're back to what the Cold War always was, a war against the
Third World.

There's an interesting description of this, particularly relevant to the
recent events in South Africa. One of the 

[CTRL] American Voters Should Be Shocked by Treason of Gore

October 25, 2000 - Atlanta Journal Constitution

American Voters Should Be Shocked by Treason of Gore
Family Benefactor
by Mona Charen

IT IS HARD to conceive that a figure of such international
stature as Armand Hammer, who died in 1990, could have
been as contemptible a swindler as he apparently was, but
such is the inescapable conclusion of "Dossier: The Secret
History of Armand Hammer" by Edward Jay Epstein.

A secret agent of the Soviet Union since 1921, Hammer
managed to make and lose several fortunes during his long life,
along the way skirting investigations of money laundering,
fraud, conspiracy, espionage, bribery and countless other
crimes by the FBI, the Justice Department, the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and other government agencies. The
tale of his serial betrayals (of his family, his religion, his
country), endless self-aggrandizement, and success at
courting the rich and famous makes fascinating reading, but
there is a contemporary hook: Armand Hammer loomed very
large in the lives of one of America's prominent political
families, the Gores.

Hammer was born in 1898, the son of Dr. Julius Hammer, a
committed communist. Julius named his first son Armand for
the communist symbol of an arm holding a hammer (Armand
would later purchase the baking soda company because of the
coincidence of names).

While Julius served time in prison for an abortion that led to a
woman's death, Armand (who had actually done the abortion)
traveled to Moscow in his stead and met with Lenin in 1921.

Impressed with his American fan, Lenin gave "Comrade
Hammer" a concession to mine asbestos in the Ural
Mountains, and also assigned him the sensitive task of
distributing (and laundering) money for Soviet agents around
the United States. Hammer worked closely with the infamous
Feliks Dzerzhinski, the first head of the KGB, known then as
the Cheka.

Though the asbestos mine never did prove profitable and was
later closed, it did provide a window into Hammer's character.
Conditions for the workers were so bad that foremen had to
carry guns to protect themselves from angry workers, who
were half starved. To avert a strike, Hammer called upon the
Cheka, who suppressed the workers to Hammer's satisfaction.
Later, when railroad workers delayed shipments to the mine,
Hammer again called upon Dzerzhinski, who had the local
chief administrator shot "as a lesson." Hammer was delighted
by this, and pointed out many times in later years that the
trains ran more efficiently afterward.

To pursue his work on behalf of the Soviet Union, Hammer set
up a number of shell corporations, a pattern that would persist
throughout a lifetime. To provide hard currency for the Soviets,
he styled himself an art dealer in New York, supposedly selling
the "Romanoff Treasure." In fact, much of it was bric-a-brac
and junk carrying phony identification supplied by the Soviets.
Despite a lavish personal lifestyle, Hammer never did make
any real money (he was near bankruptcy throughout the 1920s
and '30s), until he received another government concession,
this time from the United States government, to produce
alcohol during the Second World War.

Hammer was not actually a very good businessman (though he
created a myth in the press that he was a billionaire). But he
was utterly unscrupulous and very adept at stroking the
powerful. When, through the liquor concession, a wife's fortune
and other machinations, he was able to achieve great wealth,
he immediately used it to purchase political influence. In 1950,
he made Congressman Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee a partner
in his cattle-breeding business, which brought Gore a
substantial profit.

When J. Edgar Hoover considered moving against Hammer for
his provable treason, he stayed his hand at least in part
because Hammer had friends in high places like Gore. When
he became a senator, the elder Gore remained a Hammer ally,
and he was rewarded when he lost his bid for re-election.
Hammer hired Gore Sr. as an executive of Occidental

[CTRL] THE FOURTEEN POINTS, JANUARY 8, 1918

THE FOURTEEN POINTS, JANUARY 8, 1918

Wilson issued them as conditions of the peace, so that America's entry into
the war would not be a blank check for Britain, but rather transfer power
to
a new international order. The 14 Points were given a lukewarm reception by
the Allies, but their apparent idealism weakened morale in Germany.

1. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be
no
private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall
proceed
always frankly and in the public view.
2. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial
waters,
alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in
part by international action for the enforcement of international
covenants.
3.  [editor's note: Free Trade]
The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the
establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations
consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.
4. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be
reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.
5. A free, open-minded, and abolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial
claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining
all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations
concerned
must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose
title is to be determined.
6.  [editor's note: a welcome to the USSR]
The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all
questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation
of
the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and
unembarrassed opportunity for the independent termination of her own
political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere
welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own
choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she
may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her
sister
nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of
their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests,
and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.
7. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored,
without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common
with
all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve
to
restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves
set and determined for the government of their relations with one another.
Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international
law is forever impaired.
8. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored,
and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of
Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly
fifty
years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure
in the interest of all.
9. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along
clearly
recognizable lines of nationality.
10. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish
to
see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of
autonomous development.
11. Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied
territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea;
and
the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by
friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and
nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic
independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should
be entered into.
12. The Turkish portions of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a
secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish
rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely
unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles
should
be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all
nations under international guarantees.
13. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the
territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be
assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and
economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by
international covenant.
14. A general association of nations must be formed under specific
covenants
for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence
and
territorial integrity to great and small states alike.

 American Voters Should Be Shocked by Treason of Gore
 Family Benefactor
 by Mona Charen
 
 IT IS HARD to conceive that a figure of such international
 stature as Armand Hammer, who died in 1990, could have
 been as contemptible a swindler as he apparently was, but
 such is the inescapable conclusion of "Dossier: The Secret
 History of Armand Hammer" by Edward Jay Epstein.
 
 A secret agent of the Soviet Union since 1921, Hammer
 managed to make and lose several fortunes during his long life,
 along the way skirting investigations of money laundering,
 fraud, conspiracy, espionage, bribery and countless other
 crimes by the FBI, the Justice Department, the Securities and
 Exchange Commission, and other government agencies. The
 tale of his serial betrayals (of his family, his religion, his
 country), endless self-aggrandizement, and success at
 courting the rich and famous makes fascinating reading, but
 there is a contemporary hook: Armand Hammer loomed very
 large in the lives of one of America's prominent political
 families, the Gores.
 
 Hammer was born in 1898, the son of Dr. Julius Hammer, a
 committed communist. Julius named his first son Armand for
 the communist symbol of an arm holding a hammer (Armand
 would later purchase the baking soda company because of the
 coincidence of names).
 
 While Julius served time in prison for an abortion that led to a
 woman's death, Armand (who had actually done the abortion)
 traveled to Moscow in his stead and met with Lenin in 1921.
 
 Impressed with his American fan, Lenin gave "Comrade
 Hammer" a concession to mine asbestos in the Ural
 Mountains, and also assigned him the sensitive task of
 distributing (and laundering) money for Soviet agents around
 the United States. Hammer worked closely with the infamous
 Feliks Dzerzhinski, the first head of the KGB, known then as
 the Cheka.
 
 Though the asbestos mine never did prove profitable and was
 later closed, it did provide a window into Hammer's character.
 Conditions for the workers were so bad that foremen had to
 carry guns to protect themselves from angry workers, who
 were half starved. To avert a strike, Hammer called upon the
 Cheka, who suppressed the workers to Hammer's satisfaction.
 Later, when railroad workers delayed shipments to the mine,
 Hammer again called upon Dzerzhinski, who had the local
 chief administrator shot "as a lesson." Hammer was delighted
 by this, and pointed out many times in later years that the
 trains ran more efficiently afterward.
 
 To pursue his work on behalf of the Soviet Union, Hammer set
 up a number of shell corporations, a pattern that would persist
 throughout a lifetime. To provide hard currency for the Soviets,
 he styled himself an art dealer in New York, supposedly selling
 the "Romanoff Treasure." In fact, much of it was bric-a-brac
 and junk carrying phony identification supplied by the Soviets.
 Despite a lavish personal lifestyle, Hammer never did make
 any real money (he was near bankruptcy throughout the 1920s
 and '30s), until he received another government concession,
 this time from the United States government, to produce
 alcohol during the Second World War.
 
 Hammer was not actually a very good businessman (though he
 created a myth in the press that he was a billionaire). But he
 was utterly unscrupulous and very adept at stroking the
 powerful. When, through the liquor concession, a wife's fortune
 and other machinations, he was able to achieve great wealth,
 he immediately used it to purchase political influence. In 1950,
 he made Congressman Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee a partner
 in his cattle-breeding business, which brought Gore a
 substantial profit.
 
 When J. Edgar Hoover considered moving against Hammer for
 his provable treason, he stayed his hand at least in part
 because Hammer had friends in high places like Gore. When
 he became a senator, the elder Gore remained a Hammer ally,
 and he was rewarded when he lost his bid for re-election.
 Hammer hired Gore Sr. as an executive of Occidental
 Petroleum's coal division, at a salary of $500,000 per year.
 
 Albert Gore Jr., who claims to be for the people and against
 the "powerful," controls between $500,000 and $1,000,000
 worth of Occidental stock. In keeping with a tradition begun by
 his father, Al Gore Jr. invited Hammer to witness the
 inauguration of Ronald Reagan as his guest. It is not a crime to
 hold Occidental stock, nor to be wealthy. But it should send a
 shiver down the spine of voters to consider that the Gore
 family's comfort is owed to a treasonous scoundrel.

STARLINK IS NOT THE PROBLEM! SUPPRESSED INFORMATION ABOUT THE REAL 
HAZARDS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS

by

Barbara Keeler and Robert Sterling


It took Starlink biocorn to get the media's attention on genetically
engineered foods.  Dragging their footsteps, our government agencies
gradually followed in the media's wake. Starlink only made the news 
because
the form of corn involved had not yet been approved for use in  human 
food.
Not that it had been disapproved. The EPA had said only that it 
needed more
and better scientific information.

And who discovered the widespread presence of the unapproved corn 
product?
Not the people we pay to protect his or safeguard the food supply, 
but a
band of underfunded, underrespected, and at times scorned food safety
activists.

In spite of its high media profile, Starlink is not the major problem.
Government agencies are tracking it down, and food companies are way 
ahead
of them, recalling their products. Most significant, everybody knows 
about
Starlink. The problem lies with the more serious issues and hazards 
being
ignored.

For example, what was the response when Monsanto researchers notified 
FDA
that the most widely used genetically engineered product, Roundup 
Ready
soybeans, contained a surprise package-some unintended and 
unsuspected gene
fragments? Apparently when Monsanto enabled soybean plants to survive
spraying with their weed killer, Roundup, by splicing a gene into the
bean's DNA, they tossed in a little extra. 

FDA's response: a big yawn. Media response: UK papers carried the 
story. A
newswire service reported it in the US. Maybe some newspapers and news
stations picked it up, but we did not see it anywhere except in the 
July
News column of Whole Life Times.

Although this story should have smeared egg on the faces of biotech
cheerleaders who claim that genetic engineering is more precise than
conventional breeding techniques, scientist to this day publish
high-profile opinion pieces making this now-disproved assertion.

What might explain the absence of the spotlight on these genetic
hitchhikers in soy that pervades a majority of processed foods on the
market? In soy on the market with FDA blessing? Possibly apathy. 
However, a
document posted on GeneWatch UK website: www.genewatch.org, offers 
another
possible explanation. In what Genewatch says is a leaked internal 
document
from Monsanto, the writer brags that "The [Monsanto] Scientific 
Outreach
network and the Technology Issues Team averted attacks on recently 
emerging
biotechnology issues. The team developed rapid responses to avoid
over-reaction to claims regarding...the characterization of additional
non-functional DNA in Roundup Ready soybeans."

Not to worry, says Monsanto's letter to the UK government. According 
to
Monsanto spokesman Jeff Bergau the gene fragments were in RR beans 
when
they passed safety assessments by US authorities in 1994. What else 
was in
the beans when they passed safety assessments? Well, not Roundup. 
Unlike
the beans on the market and in the food supply, the beans Monsanto
researchers analyzed had not been treated with weed killer. 

Monsanto tried valiantly to silence one of the first critics to point 
out
this discrepancy, Dr. Marc Lappe, Formerly head of the State of
California's Hazard Evaluation System and a former tenured professor 
in
Health Policy  Ethics at the Univ of Illinois at Chicago College of
Medicine. His book, AGAINST THE GRAIN, was the topic of a threatening
letter from Monsanto to its original publisher in 1998. After the 
first
publisher backed down, Common Courage Press published the book.

If not Roundup, what DID the Roundup Ready soybeans contain when they 
were
reviewed by FDA in 1994? For starters, higher levels of a known 
allergen.
Apparently, Monsanto managed to keep some troubling information from
becoming an issue. They just didn't report the data in their published
study or the report they sent to the EPA. What information the 
published
study and FDA report did reveal was camouflaged in a place readers 
were
least likely to look for it.  Sandwiched between lists of 
macronutrients
(protein, carbohydrates, etc.) were levels of trypsin-inhibiter, an
allergen which inhibits protein digestion and has been associated with
enlarge cells in rat pancreases. Table 9 shows trypsin-inhibiter, 
levels
that are 26.7 percent higher in the untoasted RR soybeans than in the
conventional controls. 

The authors' discussion of table 9 did not mention trypsin-inhibiter
levels, which meant no mention was

 Brits Dump Huge
  Amounts Of Potential Mad
Cow Feed On Third World
 By Anthony Barnett
The Observer - London
   http://observer.co.uk/focus/story/0,6903,389559,00.html
 10-29-00
Britain offloaded tens of thousands of tons of
potentially BSE-infected cattle feed on the Third
World after deciding it was too dangerous to give to
herds in the UK.

The meal and bonemeal was exported after March
1988, when the Government realised that feed
made from slaughtered animals was the probable
cause of the BSE epidemic in UK cattle. In July that
year, the Government banned its use in Britain, and
a week later officially informed the European Union,
then the EEC, of its fears. But it wasn't until March
1996, eight years later, that a worldwide ban on the
export of MBM, as it was called, came into force.

No one knows how many cattle fed on the meal in
those countries may now be incubating BSE.

According to figures released by HM Customs and
Excise, by 1989 the UK was exporting about 25,000
tonnes of MBM to EU countries and about 7,000
tonnes to nations outside Europe mostly in the
Middle East and Africa. By 1991, sales of MBM to
Europe dropped to zero. At the same time exports of
MBM to the Third World had soared to 30,000
tonnes.

Countries that continued to buy British MBM
included Czechoslovakia, Nigeria, Thailand, South
Africa, Kenya, Turkey, Liberia, Lebanon, Puerto
Rico and Sri Lanka.

Memos and minutes uncovered in the BSE inquiry
reveal that the question of whether Britain should
ban exports to non-EU countries led to ministerial
arguments between John MacGregor and John
Gummer inside the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries
and Food as well as a row between MAFF and the
Department of Health.

On 15 June 1989 chief veterinary officer Keith
Meldrum wrote to the president of the British Cattle
Veterinary Association saying: 'We do not consider
it morally indefensible to export meat and bone to
other countries since it may be used for feeding to
pigs and poultry.'

In January 1990, chief medical officer Sir Donald
Acheson wrote to Meldrum warning him of the risks.
He said: 'We should take steps to prevent these UK
products being fed to ruminants in other countries...
Unless such action is taken, the difficult problems
we have faced with BSE may well occur in other
countries. Surely it is short-sighted for us to risk
being seen in future as having been responsible for
the introduction of BSE to the food chain in other
countries.'

Previously in 1998 Gummer, who was a MAFF
Minister at the time, is reported in departmental
minutes as having said the UK had a 'moral
obligation to ensure that importing countries were
aware we did not permit the feeding of these
products to ruminants.'

But MacGregor disagreed. MAFF civil servant
Alistair Cruickshank told the enquiry: 'At the meeting
of 14 April 1988 MacGregor gave no indication that
he agreed with Gummer's suggestion.'

In February 1990, Dr Hilary Pickles, a senior official
in the Department of Health, wrote to the Chief

[CTRL] The woman who undid the Mideast peace

2000-10-30 Thread Bob Stokes

-Caveat Lector-

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1000/lafferty.asp
By James Lafferty


http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- A LEADING U.S. NEWSPAPER recently carried
a commentary titled "The Men Who Undid The Mideast Peace," which placed the
blame squarely on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu,
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's predecessor.

A more accurate version might well have read "The Woman Who Undid The Mideast
Peace." It would have placed the blame squarely on the person who persuaded
her close friend Sandy Berger and her husband, Bill Clinton, to push Barak
into concessions that have triggered the Palestinians' new jihad against
Israel.

Make no mistake. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a staunch supporter of the
Palestine Liberation Front since her "romantic radical" undergraduate days at
Wellesley. Those radicals — most of them the indulged sons and daughters of
America's upper class — viewed Arafat, a committed terrorist who has
transformed the Palestinian territory into a thugocracy, as a "freedom
fighter."






Some of those radicals, of course, grew up as they entered adulthood.
Clinton, unfortunately, did not. She was the first major voice in the Clinton
administration to call for a Palestinian state and, according to White House
sources, she was the leading behind-the-scenes force for openly backing Barak
over Netanyahu — an unprecedented interference in the internal politics of a
friendly democracy.

It was Clinton who gazed admiring as Suha Arafat committed a blood libel
against the people of the Israel by accusing the Israeli government of
employing toxic gas against Palestinian women and children. Far from
denouncing such outrageous rhetoric, Clinton embraced Arafat's wife and
kissed her cheek.

White House sources also say the first lady was the first to suggest that the
president dispatch political strategists James Carville and Stan Greenburg to
Israel to aid Barak's election bid.

They also acknowledge that it was she who suggested the administration
pressure Barak to cede 90 percent of Israel's hard-won "buffer zones" on the
West Bank and to agree to making Jerusalem a divided city.

Worse, far worse, the administration acted on her advice in persuading Barak
to assent to an open-door "right-of-return" policy for the sons and daughters
of Palestinians living in Israel prior to 1948. That terribly naive
concession has the potential to double Israel's population within a decade —
giving the Palestinians the demographic upper hand in any election.

Would they then vote for measures to guarantee Jews equitable status or would
they vote to confiscate their lands and expel them?

To ask the question is to answer it. An unlimited "right-to-return"
concession would mean the end of Israel as a Jewish religious state, and
Clinton surely knows that.

Is it any wonder that she was booed vigorously at a recent rally of Jewish
Democrats and is studiously avoiding any uncontrolled public gatherings where
her presence would evoke a similar response?

That includes, of course, the World Series, where Clinton, a longstanding
Yankees' fan, cannot afford to show up at either Shea Stadium or the "House
that Ruth Built."

No wonder polls currently show her holding only a slim lead among the Empire
State's crucial bloc of Jewish voters — a group of yellow-dog Democrats that
normally should be in her camp by a landslide margin.

In fact, if her longtime pal Bob Shrum hadn't persuaded Al Gore to leapfrog
Joe Lieberman over several front-running vice-presidential candidates, she
could well be tied or trailing.

Rick Lazio, the youthful congressman from Long Island, still trails Clinton
in some statewide polls, but he is starting to pick up steam as he campaigns
in traditionally Republican upstate New York.

It would not beggar anyone's imagination to see Lazio squeak by on Election
Day. If that happens, part of his boost over the top will come from upstate
Republicans returning to the fold. But equally significant aid may well be
coming from Jewish New Yorkers increasingly aware of the identity of the
woman who undid the peace process by pushing for such an untenable peace in
the first place.

Voters Denied True Choices, Buchanan Says in San Francisco
by: John Wildermuth, San Francisco Chronicle
==
YOU DO HAVE CHOICES - ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU HAVE A COMPUTER -
AND YOU HAVE A MOUTH TO INFLUENCE YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND CO-WORKERS
First, I will tell you the choices I had to make.  John Duncan, Jr. is
the Congressman from my district.  He is the son of former Congressman John
Duncan, Sr., who was once my Sunday School teacher.  He belongs to Ron Paul's
Liberty Committee.  OH, DOT, you say, surely you are going to VOTE for him!!
NO, I didn't.  WHY?  Because, for one, he is the Chairman of the House
Transportation Committee and as such has collected  in his many terms
served in Congress.  With HIS money he is probably going to be reelected.  I
also have dealt with him on many issues.  One of the worst, he was
responsible for helping a NGO organization turn over a mountain to the
Federal government to be made a part of the Cherokee National Forest near
Etowah, TN (between Knoxville and Chattanooga) -- can't think of the name of
the mountain right now.  When I wrote to him and complained, he wanted to
meet with me because as he said he was sure he could convince me that this
was the right thing to do.  I wrote back and told him that if he could show
me in the Constitution where it was legal for the federal government to own a
mountain, I would meet with him.  He never answered.  He has not answered
many of my letters.  He has also sent me back MANY generic letters instead of
answering the issue in the letters.  And, yes, I following the protocol in
writing to Congress, dealing with current issues and current bills in one
page on one subject.  This should work, but it does not!!!  Yes, he votes
with Ron Paul on many issues, but someone else deserves the chance to
represent the people of Tennessee and the nation.  I didn't vote for Frist or
Thompson for the Senate, either.
So, who did I choose to vote for Congress.  (I have already voted since
Knox County, TN has early voting.)  I voted for Kevin Rowland, 865-681-8567

001632.  Falcons unlucky against Irish with overtime 34-31 loss

by Dave Kellogg
U.S. Air Force Academy Athletic Department

SOUTH BEND, IND (AFPN) -- Notre Dame's Glenn Earl was supposed to guard
against a fake as Air Force's Dave Adams lined up to kick a game-winning
28-yard field goal with three seconds left in regulation.  Instead, Earl
jumped and got a hand on Adams' kick that set up a subsequent Irish
touchdown in overtime to beat the Falcons, 34-31, Oct. 28.

The winning score came on a nine-yard reverse by Notre Dame's Joey
Getherall.

"I wasn't really supposed to leap," Earl said, "but I got a little excited.
I hope they don't dock me for blocking that kick."

Adams was surprised by the block. He kicked a 34-yard field goal with 1:56
left to play to tie the game and cap an 18-point fourth quarter comeback for
Air Force. "When it came off my foot, I thought I hit it straighter and
higher than any of my previous kicks. I felt real good and was actually
stunned when I saw a guy get a hand on it."

Adams' teammates and coaching staff were just as stunned.  A disappointed
head coach Fisher DeBerry put it in perspective.  "I am heart-broken for my
team, particularly since we didn't play very well (against New Mexico, Oct.
21), he said.  "But for them to come back, I think we demonstrated the pride
that we have in Falcon football. We had the opportunity to win the game, but
unfortunately we didn't take advantage of it. We didn't execute or make the
play whenever we had the opportunity. To beat a top 20 team, when you get
the opportunity you have to be able to take advantage of it."

At the half, Air Force held a 10-7 lead thanks to a 23-yard touchdown pass
from Mike Thiessen to Leotis Palmer, and a 27-yard field goal by Adams.

Notre Dame came out in the third quarter and scored 21 unanswered points.
Getherall and quarterback Matt LoVecchio teamed up for two TDs.  The first
on a 37-yard pass play and the second on a 68-yarder to give the Irish a
28-10 lead at the end of the quarter.

The fourth quarter was all Air Force.  The Falcons gained 258 yards in total
offense in the quarter to Notre Dame's nine yards and had 14 first downs.
Thiessen, who finished the game with 55 yards rushing and a career-high 265
yards passing started the comeback with a 30-yard pass play to tight end
Chris Jessop.  Scott Becker fumbled in the end zone after a six-yard run,
but teammate Bert Giovanetti recovered it for the second score. Adams then
tied the game with a field goal.

Falcon wide receiver Ryan Fleming, who has been playing with a separated
shoulder since the second game of the season, beat the Irish secondary for a
career-high 163 yards.  His one-handed catch of a 42-yard Thiessen pass
set-up Adams 34-yard kick.  He also set up the potential game-winning field
goal with a 46-yard reception that gave the Falcons the ball on Notre Dame's
18-yard line.

"Ryan Fleming proved today he's one of the best receivers in the country,"
DeBerry said.  "He's a guy you cannot keep off the field."

The Falcons finished the game with 471 yards in total offense to Notre
Dame's 383 yards.  Defensively, Air Force linebackers Matt Pommer and C.J.
Zanotti combined for 21 tackles.  Pommer had a team-leading 11 tackles,
including two quarterback sacks for 14

Federal cookies track Internet users

Government report says many agencies' websites violate privacy
policy

By Charles R. Smith

The federal government is collecting cookies from your computer,
in violation of its own policy, according to a newly released
General Accounting Office report. Titled "Internet Privacy:
Federal Agency Use of Cookies," the report shows that the
government is collecting "persistent" cookies to track Internet
users.

Cookies are files stored on a computer by Internet browser
software when a website is visited. According to the GAO report,
persistent cookies "can be used to track users' browsing behavior
by identifying their Internet addresses."

The federal agencies that collect cookies include the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Postal
Service, Small Business Administration, U.S. Forest Service and
Office of Personnel Management. Agencies not checked in the
random survey include the Central Intelligence Agency, National
Security Agency and Department of Defense.

The White House responded to the report by noting that the
administration had banned the collection of Internet cookies in
June.

"Cookies should not be used unless there is clear and conspicuous
notice, a compelling need to gather the data on the site;
appropriate and publicly disclosed privacy safeguards for
handling of information derived from cookies; and personal
approval by the head of the agency," wrote Sally Katzen, the
deputy director of the Executive Office of the President in an
Oct. 19 letter to the General Accounting Office.

The letter from the White House drew a sharp response from
privacy advocates, one of which said the federal cookies policy
failure is a small example of a much larger problem.

"Cookies are something very public and easy to monitor," noted
David Kopel, research director for the Colorado-based
Independence Institute. "Just what is going on when nobody is
watching is a better question.

"Despite the White House mandate, you have to wonder whether
there are other things going on behind the scenes -- projects
withheld from the public view such as the recent FBI 'Carnivore'
program, secret ATF databases on firearms owners and numerous
secret wiretaps. Who knows what is going on?" said Kopel.

"The report is very disturbing and shows how far behind federal
agencies are at understanding the technological and
civil-liberties issues underlying Internet privacy," stated Barry
Fagin, a privacy and telecommunications adviser working for
RMI.NET.

"If a commercial website does something with a cookie that you
don't like, or if they don't disclose their privacy policy to
your satisfaction, you don't have to use it. Government sites,
however, are often the sole source of information and have legal
force behind them. So the standards for privacy protection should
be much more rigorous than the private sector. In practice, at
least right now, things are exactly backwards," he said.

"The present administration's commitment to civil liberties and
privacy issues has been, in a word, terrible," asserted Fagin.

There is evidence supporting Fagin's assessment of the
Clinton-Gore administration. For example, Vice President Al Gore
has previously endorsed federal government monitoring of computer
communications. In 1994, Gore endorsed a government-designed
computer "Clipper" chip intended to monitor all secure computer
communications, according to a letter written by the vice
president.

"We also want to assure users of key escrow encryption products
that they will not be subject to unauthorized electronic
surveillance," noted the vice president in his July 20, 1994,
letter to Cantwell.

"As we have done with the Clipper chip, future key escrow schemes
must contain safeguards to provide for key disclosures only under
legal authorization and should have audit procedures to ensure
the integrity of the system. Escrow holders should be strictly
liable for releasing keys without legal authorization," wrote
Gore.

Yet, in 1994, government officials were keenly aware that the
Clipper chip design that Gore endorsed did not have safeguards
against unauthorized surveillance.

According to a top secret 1992 memo, FBI official J. R. Davis,
wrote, "The most serious concern is that the scenario regarding
the use of the 'exploitable' chip could surface publicly."

In 1993, Benita A. Cooper, NSA associate administrator for
management systems and facilities, wrote "There is no way to
prevent the NSA from routinely monitoring all (CLIPPER) encrypted
traffic. Moreover, compromise of the NSA keys, such as in the
Walker case, could compromise the entire (CLIPPER) system."

The GAO cookie report drew no reaction from the various political
camps. Maria Cantwell, a well-known dot-com millionaire is
currently the Democratic candidate running in a close bid against
Sen. Glade Gordon, R-Wash. Neither

The Middle East, After the Deluge

In the territories, the violence will not end, nor will it decide
anything.

After weeks of careening out of control, both the Israeli and
Palestinian political systems now point to extended, sub-critical
conflict in the West Bank and Gaza. Attacks by Palestinian
commandos and suicide teams inside Israel are likely. The violence
promises to be extended because there is not the political will to
suppress it; neither is there enough violence to force either side
to capitulate.

But the damage done by this deluge is extensive. Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak, heir to the peace initiatives of the Rabin and
Peres governments, has lost the ability to govern. A divided
Palestinian leadership pursues two goals: cleaving Israel from the
United States and igniting fundamentalism in the rest of the Arab
world. We are not back to 1973, but we are back to the intifadah of
the 1980s. That this is good news is a measure of just how bad
things might have been.

In Israel, the Barak government's ruling coalition lies effectively
shattered. But at a more fundamental level, the extent of the
fighting with the fact Palestinian police joined in has created a
belief that institutionalized peace with the Palestinian National
Authority is impossible. Israelis are more focused on suppressing
Palestinian violence than accommodating Palestinian aspirations.

Nothing is so striking as the fact that Barak has been forced to
reach out to Ariel Sharon, architect of the invasion of Lebanon and
advocate of the Jewish settlements of the territories, to form a
government of national unity. First, such governments have
historically though not always been formed in Israel during times
of extreme danger, when ordinary political debate is muted. Second,
in reaching out to Sharon the antithesis of the Rabin-Peres
perspective Barak acknowledges he is no longer able to govern just
18 months after his election.

Sharon's terms are stiff. Effectively, he seeks veto power on any
agreement with the Palestinians. The price of a government of
national unity is handing Palestinian relations to Sharon. In an
odd way, this might provide the only hope for mitigating the
conflict. Just as Richard Nixon could open the door to China when a
liberal could not, Sharon might be able to make accommodations that
Barak cannot.

__

But Sharon is not Nixon. Sharon and the Likud party are more
convinced than ever that genuine accommodation with the
Palestinians is impossible unless there is a fundamental shift in
Palestinian political attitudes. Equally important, Likud
politicians are prepared to maintain the current policy until such
a shift occurs. In this, Barak has little choice. If he doesn't
form a new coalition government, he will be forced to hold new
elections he is unlikely to win. In either case, Likud will grab
control again. The man whom Palestinians regard as the instigator
of the crisis will either lead or be a major figure in the next
government.

The landscape has changed so much that a shift in the Israeli
government will make little difference to the Palestinians. Few
voices in the community are left to speak either for the Oslo
Accords or the peace process. No one knows what Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat really thinks or wants other than Arafat, but it is
clear he felt he had no choice but to become spokesman for the
uprising. Within the Palestinian community, the consensus is the
Israelis were never serious about concluding an institutionalized
peace treaty.

The Palestinians want a state but now they will not get one. Before
the Camp David meetings, the Palestinians could kid themselves into
believing, in time, such a state would be created and a settlement
would be reached over Jerusalem. After Camp David and the resulting
torrent, no Palestinian can believe that.

Today, the community is divided between those who want to maintain
and intensify current levels of violence and those who wish to see
the violence subside. It is not even clear that the latter group is
in the majority, and therefore it is not clear that Arafat and his
governing apparatus can stand. To make the Americans happy, Arafat
has had his intelligence staff cooperate with the Israelis, but
this may be mere show for American consumption. The Palestinian
National Authority is not in a position to offer real cooperation.

Now, the Palestinians will try to achieve two ends. One is fighting
for the hearts and minds of the American public and the next U.S.
administration. The only hope for statehood is to create massive
strains between Israel and the

AOL Fires Utah Gun Owners!

America Online, http://www.aol.com,  has been known to gun owners for some
time for their support of anti-gun organizations and policies.  They've
donated large sums of money to liberal, anti-gun Democrat organizations to
support people like Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy.

More recently, they’ve canceled accounts for firearms related web sites on
the grounds that such material is no different than “pornography”.  Never
mind that guns are entirely legal items owned by tens of millions of
Americans.  Never mind that AOL doesn’t seem to think that disgustingly
offensive rock music is a problem.

Now, in another step towards the final elimination of gun owners from
“civilized society”, AOL has fired three exemplary workers for having
firearms in their cars in order to go shooting at a range on their own time!

The three employees are Luke Hansen, Jason Melling and Paul Carlson.  All
three worked as “partner technical consultants” at AOL’s Ogden, Utah
facility, doing higher level technical support.  The Ogden facility employs
about 850 people, according to AOL’s web site, and “handles a range of
technical, billing, third-party and sales calls”. According to Mr. Hansen,
they had worked at AOL for two to four years, and all had good employee
records and good reviews from their supervisors.  Unfortunately (at least
from AOL’s point of view), the three young men also enjoy shooting.

On September 14, 2000, Luke, Jason and Paul met after work in the AOL
parking lot to go shooting at the gun range near Eden, Utah.  In order to
carpool to the range, Jason and Paul transferred their firearms from their
own cars to Luke’s truck, a matter of carrying them a few yards.  Jason
transferred a .30-06 hunting rifle and a 9mm Smith  Wesson handgun.  Both
firearms were unloaded and in cases.  Paul transferred a .45 long Colt
“cowboy style” pistol and a 7.63 X .39 KBI.  The Colt was in a holster, and
both firearms were unloaded.  The handguns had trigger locks in
place.  Luke’s firearms were in his truck and he never touched Jason or
Paul’s firearms.   At no time did they brandish or handle the firearms in a
threatening or unsafe manner.  Luke and Paul hold valid Utah concealed
weapons permits, and Jason is in the process of obtaining one, so all three
are familiar with safe handling and Utah laws.

Although all three of them worked during the subsequent three days, nothing
about the firearms was mentioned.  However, on Monday, Sept. 18, all three
were fired for “violating AOL’s employee policy” which states that firearms
are forbidden on company property, including the parking lot.  According to
Luke, although no one complained, an overzealous security guard saw the
firearms on a video surveillance tape and reported the alleged violations.

AOL does have its firearms policy posted inside the front and back doors of
the building, stating that firearms are not permitted in the building or in
the parking lot, and all three employees were aware of this
policy.  However, they were also aware that AOL’s policy violates Utah
state law.  AOL states that it is a “secure facility”, although under Utah
law secure facilities can be designated only by the legislature, and
include places such as courts, airports, mental health facilities, and
prisons.  By definition, a place open to the public cannot be a “secure
facility”, and AOL’s parking lot is open to the public.  (Actually, it’s a
group of marked stalls in a public parking lot.)  In addition, a secure
facility is required to provide locked safe storage for anyone lawfully
carrying a firearm, and to accept responsibility for stored firearms,
something that AOL clearly was not equipped to do.

On a previous occasion about two months ago, the three men had also
transferred firearms after work, and had been reported to management.  At
that time, Luke Hansen met with AOL’s Ogden General Manager, Sarah
McElwee.  He explained to Ms. McElwee that while AOL might be able to
restrict firearms in the building, it could not restrict firearms in a
public parking lot, and that AOL did not meet the criteria for a “secure
facility”.  Mr. Hansen says he thought the matter was resolved at the time,
although no written changes were made to AOL’s policy.  Ironically, Ms.
McElwee’s husband is known for the very fine firearms he makes!

As a result of the firing, Paul is still looking for work.  Jason, who has
a wife and just bought a new home, has found a new job.  So has Luke, who
is expecting his first child in February.

It appears that AOL management, and especially Ric Waiters, the AOL manager
who fired the three, want to force the issue of illegal, politically
correct, gun bans.  Fortunately for gun owners everywhere, Luke Hansen,
Jason Melling and Paul Carlson are not going to take this

"HOME SCHOOLING AT RISK!"

Tony Esolen
State Coordinator,  Rhode Island  Guild of Home Teachers

I would like to pass along some urgent information. The
Democratic Party has now aligned itself squarely against
homeschooling and parental rights. The Democratic
National Committee's website (www.dnc.org), endorsed by
Al Gore, attacks Republican Presidential nominee George
W. Bush for being "soft" on homeschooling. That same
website parrots the agenda of the NEA, the nation's
biggest teachers' union, insisting that all teachers
of all children should be required to possess state
certification.

That requirement would KILL homeschooling. It renews
the threat of HR 6, which homeschoolers helped to kill
in 1994. That bill would have required the same thing
-- state certification. That means, unless you spend
many thousands of dollars and several years taking
courses in how to teach, you will not be able to teach
your child at home.

That bill passed through the House Education Committee
with every Democrat voting for it, and every Republican
voting against it. George Miller (D-Cal), then chairman
of that committee, will become its chairman again if
the Democrats win control of the House, and has vowed
to reintroduce the bill. This time, the Democrats would
not be facing the imminent disaster they faced in the
1994 elections, when Bill Clinton was at his lowest in
popularity. They will have little to fear.

IT IS DISHEARTENING TO ME THAT A MAJOR POLITICAL
PARTY IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD SO BLITHELY
ATTACK THE FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM OF THE FAMILY.

It is disheartening, but not surprising. I teach at
an American college;I know the left very well. The
Democratic Party is now wholly controlled by the left
-- by people who believe that the state, not the
family, is the basic institution of society. That is
why the left wants taxpayer-financed day care.
Former feminist, now Christian professor Elizabeth
Genovese, warns that public funded daycare is the
next arena of assault on the traditional family, and
will make it more and more difficult for tax-strapped
families to keep the mother in the home, and more and
more economically enticing to leave children with
others. That is why the left wants to destroy the Boy
Scouts.  President Clinton's Justice Department recently
decided to examine whether the Boy Scouts should be
banned from National Parks, because of their refusal
to admit homosexual scoutmasters.

Homosexuals do not mince words when they assert that
the traditional family, and traditional manhood and
womanhood, must be overcome.  That is why they despise
homeschooling.

John Taylor Gatto has written a long article on the
fight one small Vermont village when the last one-
room, public schoolhouse in the state. The powerful
Vermont chapter of the NEA crushed them. When the
left cannot abide even a traditional PUBLIC school,
what makes us think they will be friendlier with us
homeschoolers? To a tyrant any deviation from
conformity, no matter how apparently small, is a
threat that must be wiped out.  We homeschoolers have
for a Presidential candidate the governor of the
most homeschooling-friendly state in the country,
opposed by a party that has cast its lot with: the
NEA, the feminists, who despise the traditional
family, want nationalized curricula designed to
teach children what they should believe.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE COMPLACENT. NOW IS NOT THE
TIME TO SAY, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND POLITICS!" or "WHY
SHOULD I VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS?"

For Christians especially, the choice is acutely clear.
When will we get another opportunity like the present?
Hillary Clinton once compared the traditional family
to SLAVERY.  And so I urge you, contact your friends
and relatives in other states --those who are
friendly to homeschooling.

Ask them to consider, this year, whether the freedom of
the family is worth preserving. This election will be
close! Of course you must vote as your conscience
dictates. But I pray that you will think of
homeschooling as a touchstone -- as a way of telling what
the two parties, and the two Presidential nominees,
stand for.

Police Kill Actor at Halloween Party

Updated 8:37 AM ET October 30, 2000

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles police officer responding to a
noisy Halloween party at a mansion north of Beverly Hills shot and killed an
actor, who police said pointed what turned out to be a fake gun at him,
police said Sunday.

Anthony Dwain Lee, 39, who appeared in the 1997 movie "Liar, Liar" and
on several television shows including "NYPD Blue," was shot several times
early Saturday by Officer Tarriel Hopper who fired through a glass door
from an exterior hallway, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a
statement.

The shooting took place about 1 a.m. at a crowded party attended by
scores of costumed guests, many of them actors and other entertainment
industry professionals, at a mansion known as "the Castle" for its spires
and stained-glass windows, the Los Angeles Times reported.

It was not immediately known who owned the house or if the owner
attended the party.

"He was a Buddhist. He hated violence. It is amazing he died this way,"
Mitch Hale, a writer whose play "Buffalo Soldier" starred Lee and earned
him a local acting award, told the newspaper. "He was an incredibly gifted
actor and person. It's devastating ... Why did they shoot someone at a
Halloween party?"

Police said Hopper and Officer Natalie Humphreys were attempting to find
the owner of the home in the Benedict Canyon area of Los Angeles after
neighbors complained about the party. The officers were at the rear of the
house when Hopper looked into a small room and spotted three people.

Police said that when Lee saw the officers he pulled what looked like a
handgun and pointed it at Hopper, who, in fear for his life, fired several
shots from his service pistol, wounding Lee, the LAPD statement said.

Lee was later pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Officer Charlotte Broughton, a spokeswoman for the LAPD, said many of
the party-goers were in costume. One guest told the Times that some of
guests were dressed as cops, but it was not known if Lee was wearing a
costume. It was also not clear if Lee realized Hopper was a real officer with
a real gun.

The police department said Lee's supposed weapon was a fake, "a replica
semiautomatic pistol, dark in color."

The shooting is being investigated by the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide
Division and a team from the district attorney's office.

Another party-goer, Robert Hull, told the Times, "It was a shock that an
officer would shoot at such a party. This was an exclusive party with
security. Some of these people are making six figures, and this officer saw
a toy gun at a Halloween costume party and opened fire."

Another of the victim's friends, Mary Lin, told the newspaper, "His biggest
fear was getting killed by cops, because he's a tall black man."

Lee's friends said on Sunday they were planning to hold a candlelight vigil
in his honor Monday evening.

[CTRL] Fwd: One of the Real Goals of the War on Drugs In Latin America

 Subject: [starcgrassroots] Urgent ACTION ALERT - SEED LAW


 ACTION ALERT


 EL SALVADOR COULD BECOME TESTING GROUND FOR
 GENETICALLY MODIFIED PRODUCTS


 October 24, 2000

 In May of 2000 the Minister of Agriculture and
 Livestock presented the Seed Law bill to the
 Legislative Assembly which would replace the existing 
 Certification of  Seeds and Plants Law.  The new law
 would allow the "free circulation" of genetically
 engineered foods into the country without any
 restriction, safeguarding or certification process. 
 This would be a green light for transnational
 corporations to experiment, produce, import and
 commercialize transgenetic organisms without having to
 worry about the effects to the local economy, health,
 or environment.

 According to the CDC (Center of Defense of the
 Consumer), Monsanto and it's local subsidiary Semillas
 SA, which ex- president Christiani owns, are the
 financial interests behind the law.  The financial
 interests of this company, which has unsurpassed
 control over the seed industry, and the Seed Law would
 create disastrous social effects.

 BACKGROUND:

 Genetically engineered products are usually advertised
 as a way of ending world hunger, but in reality have
 been used to control world food production.  This
 phenomenon must be placed within the context of
 neo-liberal globalization.  Large transnational
 companies utilize patents or Trade Related
 Intellectual Property Rights to further control the
 production of food.  Patenting and property rights are
 an essential ingredient in the biotechnology
 industry.  By patenting plants and seeds, once the
 modified seeds are introduced into a community the
 traditional communal way of farming by collecting
 seeds and replanting the next year will be illegal. 
 Through the TRIPs agreement, which was established at
 the Uruguay Round Agreement, foreign corporations can
 also appropriate valuable agricultural and medicinal
 biodiversity from "developing countries".  The TRIPs
 agreement states that all members of the WTO (World
 Trade Organization) must allow patenting or another
 "effective" system.  Anything that can be genetically
 manipulated can be patented as private property by
 transnational corporations.  The TRIPs agreement was
 conceived by the Intellectual Property Committee which
 was made up of powerful companies with global
 financial interests.  At the time they were Bristol
 Meyers, Dupont, General Electric, General Motors,
 Hewlett Packard, IBM, Johnson and Johnson, Merck,
 Monsanto, Pfizer, Rockwell and Time-Warner.  Any
 country that violates "international standards" of
 property rights can face the wrath of sanctions,
 fines, or other means of inflicting damage upon
 non-abiding nations.

 In order to gain world control of food production,
 local and traditional producers must be driven out. 
 The new market for the transnationals must be "opened
 up".  There are various ways in which this done. 
 Often, the World Bank and the IMF encourage or demand
 that countries not only buy genetically engineered
 seeds but also that they plant non- traditional crops
 for export instead of producing for their needs (often
 times the "owner" of the exports is a private
 transnational). This practice often ends in disaster
 such as in Mexico and Zimbabwe where both countries
 were "advised" to halt production of the local food
 staple. Another way of displacing the local producers
 is by "dumping".  Dumping is the practice of "dumping"
 mass quantities of certain foreign staple food
 products on a community with the goal of stopping
 local food production which is meant to be consumed by
 the local communities and opening the "new market".
 Such is the case right now in El Salvador.  According
 to the CDC, free genetically engineered seeds are
 being distributed to farmers in order to create
 dependency.  In the case of El Salvador, this law
 would exacerbate the already grave situation which
 confronts the small and medium size farmers in this
 country.

 Finally, without any required testing or protocols in
 place "developing" countries turn into laboratories
 for genetic experiments which result in health hazards
 and environmental devastation.  Studies have shown
 that genetically modified foods are already on the
 shelves in the supermarkets of El Salvador without
 having followed the appropriate norms and
 regulations.  If a country has too high of standards a
 dispute can be brought to the World Trade
 Organization.  The committee is made up of "trade
 experts" not scientists or doctors who study the
 social effects.  In the end the determining factor is
 if its good for "trade" not if its good for the
 people.

 On October 16, the CDC placed a resolution in the
 Legislative Assembly  which includes 6 basic measures
 to try to ensure the safety of

The big losers in yesterday's state and municipal elections in Colombia were
that nation's president Andrés Pastrana -- whose party lost all 30 state
governorships -- and the US officials who imposed the $1.3 billion dollar
"Plan Colombia" military intervention.

The Colombian people, in yesterday's historic vote, soundly rejected Plan
Colombia, as new parties and coalitions surged forward to take half the
nation's states from both leading political parties -- Conservative and
Liberal -- in a nation that for 40 years has had a US-style two-party

STARLINK IS NOT THE PROBLEM! SUPPRESSED INFORMATION ABOUT THE REAL 
HAZARDS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS

by

Barbara Keeler and Robert Sterling


It took Starlink biocorn to get the media's attention on genetically
engineered foods.  Dragging their footsteps, our government agencies
gradually followed in the media's wake. Starlink only made the news 
because
the form of corn involved had not yet been approved for use in  human 
food.
Not that it had been disapproved. The EPA had said only that it 
needed more
and better scientific information.

And who discovered the widespread presence of the unapproved corn 
product?
Not the people we pay to protect his or safeguard the food supply, 
but a
band of underfunded, underrespected, and at times scorned food safety
activists.

In spite of its high media profile, Starlink is not the major problem.
Government agencies are tracking it down, and food companies are way 
ahead
of them, recalling their products. Most significant, everybody knows 
about
Starlink. The problem lies with the more serious issues and hazards 
being
ignored.

For example, what was the response when Monsanto researchers notified 
FDA
that the most widely used genetically engineered product, Roundup 
Ready
soybeans, contained a surprise package-some unintended and 
unsuspected gene
fragments? Apparently when Monsanto enabled soybean plants to survive
spraying with their weed killer, Roundup, by splicing a gene into the
bean's DNA, they tossed in a little extra. 

FDA's response: a big yawn. Media response: UK papers carried the 
story. A
newswire service reported it in the US. Maybe some newspapers and news
stations picked it up, but we did not see it anywhere except in the 
July
News column of Whole Life Times.

Although this story should have smeared egg on the faces of biotech
cheerleaders who claim that genetic engineering is more precise than
conventional breeding techniques, scientist to this day publish
high-profile opinion pieces making this now-disproved assertion.

What might explain the absence of the spotlight on these genetic
hitchhikers in soy that pervades a majority of processed foods on the
market? In soy on the market with FDA blessing? Possibly apathy. 
However, a
document posted on GeneWatch UK website: www.genewatch.org, offers 
another
possible explanation. In what Genewatch says is a leaked internal 
document
from Monsanto, the writer brags that "The [Monsanto] Scientific 
Outreach
network and the Technology Issues Team averted attacks on recently 
emerging
biotechnology issues. The team developed rapid responses to avoid
over-reaction to claims regarding...the characterization of additional
non-functional DNA in Roundup Ready soybeans."

Not to worry, says Monsanto's letter to the UK government. According 
to
Monsanto spokesman Jeff Bergau the gene fragments were in RR beans 
when
they passed safety assessments by US authorities in 1994. What else 
was in
the beans when they passed safety assessments? Well, not Roundup. 
Unlike
the beans on the market and in the food supply, the beans Monsanto
researchers analyzed had not been treated with weed killer. 

Monsanto tried valiantly to silence one of the first critics to point 
out
this discrepancy, Dr. Marc Lappe, Formerly head of the State of
California's Hazard Evaluation System and a former tenured professor 
in
Health Policy  Ethics at the Univ of Illinois at Chicago College of
Medicine. His book, AGAINST THE GRAIN, was the topic of a threatening
letter from Monsanto to its original publisher in 1998. After the 
first
publisher backed down, Common Courage Press published the book.

If not Roundup, what DID the Roundup Ready soybeans contain when they 
were
reviewed by FDA in 1994? For starters, higher levels of a known 
allergen.
Apparently, Monsanto managed to keep some troubling information from
becoming an issue. They just didn't report the data in their published
study or the report they sent to the EPA. What information the 
published
study and FDA report did reveal was camouflaged in a place readers 
were
least likely to look for it.  Sandwiched between lists of 
macronutrients
(protein, carbohydrates, etc.) were levels of trypsin-inhibiter, an
allergen which inhibits protein digestion and has been associated with
enlarge cells in rat pancreases. Table 9 shows trypsin-inhibiter, 
levels
that are 26.7 percent higher in the untoasted RR soybeans than in the
conventional controls. 

The authors' discussion of table 9 did not mention trypsin-inhibiter
levels, which meant no mention was

Zealots predict apocalyptic end to uprising

FROM SAM KILEY IN JERUSALEM

THREE Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops in continued
violence on the West Bank yesterday, which Christian and Jewish
fundamentalists said showed that Armageddon was approaching. Two
Palestinian men were killed in Nablus while demonstrating over
the death of a third. They were shot in what has become a deadly
ritual of the ìal-Aqsa intifadaî, when stone-throwing youths face
Israelís bullets.

Another Palestinian man died after being shot by Israeli tank
machinegun fire at the Karni crossing between the Gaza Strip and
Israel. Christian groups have, since the turn of the millennium,
rallied around the Temple Mount Faithful, run by Gershon Solomon,
an Israeli Jew, and his predictions that the final battle of ìGog
and Megog against Israelî had already begun. Some of their
doom-laden prophesies have been echoed by the Israeli Right,
which has said that Israel now faces a battle for its existence.

Yassir Arafat, the Palestinian leader, yesterday added to their
paranoia by warning that the ìal-Aqsa intifadaî would not stop
ìuntil a boy or a girl holds the flag of Palestine over
Jerusalem, the capital of our Palestinian Stateî.

In Lebanon Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah,
called on all Palestinians to launch suicide attacks to kill as
many Israelis as possible.

For the Temple Mount Faithful and its overwhelmingly Christian
followers, there is no question that the end is nigh. ìAll of the
prophesies of Ezekiel, Isaiah and Zechariah are coming to pass.
We can even predict that there will be a nuclear war,î Mr Solomon
said.

Most Israelis would not agree. The Left has, however, been shaken
by the Palestinian uprising and the readiness of Ehud Barak, the
Prime Minister, to offer a senior place in the administration to
Ariel Sharon and his right-wing Likud Party to save his
government from collapse when the Knesset returns from its summer
break today. Mr Barak said yesterday that the formation of a
national unity government was ìcloseî, although Mr Sharon
continued to insist on a veto over peace efforts.

[CTRL] Infallible Sectarianism

2000-10-30 Thread NSA

-Caveat Lector-

Infallible Sectarianism

"There is no mistake so great as that of being always right." – Samuel
Butler (1835-1902): Notebooks.
Professor Arthur Noble

The Pope's ecumenical dupes got a rude shock on September 5 when his
self-styled 'infallible Holiness', in an official document called Dominus
Iesus, questioned the validity of Protestant Churches and instructed his
bishops not to use the term 'sister churches' with reference to them. The
Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has now arrogantly
pronounced that henceforth non-Roman-Catholics are to be designated as
"ecclesial communities" with "defects". It declares that churches that lack
a "valid Episcopate [bishops] and the genuine and integral substance of the
Eucharistic mystery are not churches in the proper sense"; and a Vatican
letter to bishops, released the same week, calls for Protestants to be
"evangelised".

The American Crosswalk News site summed it up in the headline: "Protestants
are not our equals, says the Vatican." It was on a par with Hitler's
comments about the Jews.

The chief ingredient of this latest outrageous pronouncement by the Roman
impostor is nothing short of blatant sectarianism – a predictable complement
to the flagrant racism of his beatification of Pius IX. Once again, the
congenital religious intolerance behind the mask of the Church of Rome's
smiling ecumenism has been exposed: her doctrinal fascism renders her
hypocritically guilty of the very accusation that she is so fond of
levelling against those who refuse to bow the knee to her theological
drivel.

George Carey, the spiritual leader of the world's 70 million Anglicans and
hitherto a loud and pathetic parrot of the Pope, has expressed his "dismay".
No wonder: he failed to take heed of the warning that Rome does not change,
and is now suddenly confronted with the reality that the term 'separated
brethren' was merely a ruse and the original designation of 'heretics' is
now official. Carey has learned of his error the hard way. He has reacted by
saying that the worldwide Anglican Communion "does not for one moment accept
that its orders of ministry and Eucharist are deficient in any way", but
"believes itself to be a part of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic
Church of Christ."

Protestant leaders in Germany have also been rudely awakened. Manfred Kock,
chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church of Germany, told ZDF
television: "The declaration suggests that the Catholic and the Protestant
Churches are not on equal terms with each other." These leaders, be it
noted, are the dupes who on October 31, 1999, signed the Joint Declaration
on the Doctrine of Justification between the Lutheran World Federation and
the Roman Catholic Church, believing it to be the reconciliatory seal of 30
years of so-called 'dialogue' between the two Churches.

Irony of ironies! The Vatican's boot-licking World Council of Churches
itself is worried that the ecumenical relationships of the past 100 years
may now be "lost" or "hindered" by what its professing 'theologian' Tom Best
calls "language which precludes further discussion of the issues"; and even
John Wilkins, editor of the Roman Catholic newspaper The Tablet, has
described the declaration as "enormously negative".

Valdo Benecchi, President of the Methodist Evangelical Churches of Italy and
an on-the-spot connoisseur of the Pope's machinations in that country, was
quick to recognise the Vatican's latest confidence trick. Almost echoing the
warning of last October by the 150 German Academics who opposed the
LWF-Vatican Declaration, he said: "Salvation through Christ is not deposited
in one religion only. This puts only the Catholic Church at the centre, but
especially the Catholic hierarchy."

The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest U.S. Protestant denomination,
has also recognised the contrivance. Jerry Rankin, President of its
International Mission Board, protested: "Salvation comes by God's grace
through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone – not through any
institutional church body, be it Baptist, Catholic, or otherwise. […] That's
why we have always sent missionaries, even to 'Catholic' countries, because
people come to salvation only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. That
is the message of the Christian gospel according to the Scriptures, and that
is the message shared worldwide by our missionaries."

Popery, despite her modernist garb, remains unchanged. The arrogance of this
latest pronouncement is astounding. It describes all churches since the
Protestant Reformation as not being "churches in the proper sense", while in
reality it is the Church of Rome that is not a church at all, but a colossal
political and financial organisation. Adam Smith, in his famous study The
Wealth of Nations, calls it "the most formidable combination that ever was
formed against the authority and security of civil government as well as
against the liberty, reason and happiness of mankind."

MORNING LINE

While George Bush retains a narrow lead in the electoral vote, the number of
states in which Ralph Nader is playing a possibly crucial role has risen.

The Democrats are looking better in Senate races than they have all year.
They currently stand to pick up four seats while the GOP stands to pick up
only one, and is vulnerable in five others.

FOR SALE

"Al Gore's Soul" - E-Bay auction item #479162197

NADER AND GORE

* * * THE MEDIA DISCUSSIONS OF RALPH NADER are reminiscent of a Stokely
Carmichael appearance on "Meet the Press" The reporters were advising
Carmichael, questioning his strategy, ponderously considering its effects.
Finally, Carmichael told them in a mild voice that he didn't really think
they were in the best position to tell blacks how to run their revolution.

So it is with the Gorey media, which has been working overtime on the theme
that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. Notably absent, of course, are any
journalists with the slightest empathy for what Nader and the Green Party
are about. Hence the assumption that the Nader campaign is only reactive
rather than building something new; hence the ignorance of third party
history; and hence the near total emphasis on what the situation means to
Gore as opposed to what it means to the Greens and to America.

Interestingly, the arguments the Gories use are remarkably similar to those
made during the impeachment of Al's mentor, WJ Clinton. If you will recall,
we were told then that right-thinking people should ignore the evidence,
behave like good hack politicians, and support the Democrat come hell or
high water. Which is why, perhaps, we now find the same Silicon Valley types
who raised $13 million to defeat members of the impeachment committee at the
forefront of the get-Nader campaign. One of the co-founders of this
operation was responsible for a 13,000 e-mail spam attack on Nader's
headquarters.

The Gories have also tried to sell the absurd notion that Democrats in safe
Gore states should trade their votes by promising to cast a ballot for Nader
in return for someone promising not to do so in a tightly fought state.
This, of course, works on the honor system, with which Gore and the
Democratic Party have little familiarity these days. In fact, it was not
long after this scam got underway that one Democratic operative was sending
around an e-mail suggesting that people trade their votes not once but up to
a hundred times. After all, it was pointed out, who will know? Apparently,
the Democrats not only consider the Naderites dangerous radicals but rubes
as well.

Happily, there is no evidence that any of this is working. In fact, all of
us who have written on the subject, suggests reader George Cotner, may have
misjudged the situation. He sends along a UPI article that states, "The
Nader campaign says half of the candidate's supporters are disenfranchised
or independent voters who would not be likely to vote for either Bush or
Gore if Nader was not in the race. Another 20 percent of Nader's support is
Republican, the campaign claims, meaning that Nader is not having a
disproportionate impact on potential vote results for Gore."

Whether Nader is really hurting Gore or not, what the latter seeks from the
Nader voters is precisely the sort of political cynicism that has driven so
many away from the Democratic Party and that we can expect to see more of
should Gore be elected.

How bad is this cynicism? Pretty bad, judging from the upcoming issue of
Esquire with a Bill Clinton smirking on the cover in a spread-leg
come-hither-Monica pose. Inside it doesn't get any better. Clinton even
declares that Republicans owe him an apology for the impeachment.

Don't wait for any of the campaign press to ask Gore whether he agrees.
Nonetheless, Gore's troubles are far more rooted in Clinton than in Nader.
This election is, among other things, the second impeachment trial with Gore
as the stand-in defendant. The Democrats could have avoided the problem by
nominating an honest candidate unsoiled by the scum of the last eight years.
And Gore could have minimized the problem by setting himself free of Clinton
a long time ago.

Instead, Gore and the Democrats have created yet another myth: that it's
Ralph Nader's fault. And in their squalid attacks on the honest and
idealistic people who support Nader, they have proved themselves once more
unworthy of public office.

Quote of the Week: "... the problem is not that Israel is being
provocative, but that Israel's being is provocative." George F.
Will, WASHINGTON POST, Sunday, October 22, 2000; Page B07


IDF: VIOLENCE COULD LAST MONTHS: Violence in the territories is likely to
continue for many months, and probably through next year, according to the
Israel Defense Forces' most recent assessment. The general staff also
believes the Lebanon front could heat up again soon. Regarding Lebanon,
the opinion of the general staff is that hostile parties in Lebanon,
whether Palestinians or Hizb'Allah, may soon join the fighting with the
backing of either or both Syria and Iran. Israeli officials are warning
citizens to brace for a new wave of violence, and they have made clear
they will blame Arafat for any acts of terror. One Israeli official was
quoted as telling journalists that Arafat "was not making an intelligent
calculation. ... He let a devil out of the bottle, one that might never be
able to be put back. This devil will blow up buses and will damage the
Palestinian image in world opinion."

COORDINATION OF TERROR BETWEEN HAMAS AND PLO: A Hamas spokesman in Gaza,
quoted in Wednesday's WASHINGTON POST (page A01), said that
representatives of Hamas and the 'Palestinian Authority' (PLO) meet daily
to coordinate their activities. The paper writes that Arafat is working
closely with leaders of both the Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist
organizations - leaders whose release from prison Arafat ordered at the
beginning of the current violence almost a month ago. ARUTZ-7 has learned
that some of the released terrorists are being hidden in PLO buildings.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS similarly reported Wednesday that representatives of
Hamas and other Palestinian groups have been directing the Palestinian
protests. "The existence of the steering committees ... would undermine
Arafat's contention that the Palestinian protests of the past month have
entirely been a spontaneous outburst of anger against Israel," reported
the AP.

Meanwhile, clashes on Saturday included at least a dozen shooting attacks
on Israeli soldiers and a homemade bomb hurled at a border police patrol.

Also Saturday, the Palestine Liberation Front - the terrorist group that
hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship and killed an American passenger in
1985 - declared Saturday that it was resuming attacks on Israel. In
Lebanon, the leader of Hizb'Allah urged Palestinians to move from
stone-throwing to suicide missions. Also Saturday, an Israeli was shot and
his body burned near Ram'Allah, the PLO said. Israel's military said only
that the body had been returned to Israeli authorities and that the matter
was under investigation. But ISRAEL TV quoted Israeli police officials as
saying they had "reasonable grounds" to believe the man was lynched in a
political killing.

An inside look at
Clinton-Gore press tactics

--

© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com


WASHINGTON -- Not a day goes by that I'm not asked by people across the
country -- and countless Canadians, too, interestingly enough -- why the
Washington press corps never gets to the bottom of the scandals that have
plagued this administration.

Stories break and then just drift away with little or no follow-up, they
complain. In the end, no one is held accountable, and the stench of graft
remains.

Most readers just chalk it up to pro-Democrat bias among the press corps. To
be sure, a lopsided nine out of 10 Washington reporters voted for Bill
Clinton and Al Gore. With a personal stake in their success, they may have
incentive to look the other way when they come across a scandal.

But I've found it's more complicated than that. Many mainstream reporters,
usually the younger and hungrier ones, have tried to zero in on corruption,
and some have even followed up on scandal stories broken in the conservative
or alternative press.

It's not for lack of trying. The problem lies not so much with the press, but
with the dishonest press secretaries the White House has installed at just
about every federal agency to block and bully the press. (See, for instance,
the exclusive transcript of a revealing interview with Cabinet press
secretary below).

Yes, press secretaries are hired in part to spin negative stories. During
scandal coverage, the less information they have to give, the better. That's
always been standard operating procedure, whether it was Marlin Fitzwater,
James Brady or Jody Powell in the White House hot seat.

But they're also paid by taxpayers to assist the press in letting the
American people know what's really going on in their government. So they have
an obligation to tell the truth when reporters push the right buttons.

That's been the game: Ask the right question and more often than not you can
count on getting a truthful answer.

But the Clinton administration has changed the rules.

Now, even if your question is bull's-eye accurate, you're not guaranteed
confirmation. More likely, you will get a blanket denial -- even from the
president himself: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

If you follow up with more detailed questions, expect to be brow-beaten into
backing off the story. If you pursue a really damaging scandal, expect to be
bullied, blackballed, frozen out, denied access, banned or even smeared. Your
producer will get an earful and your editor will be asked to keep you on a
shorter leash.

Even when the press teams up and demands information, they are stonewalled.

Witness the current clamoring for the list of dates and times when Hillary
Clinton's hundreds of guests recently stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom and at
Camp David. The data would test the Senate candidate's spin that the
sleepovers weren't a reward for campaign donations -- an illegal quid pro quo
-- but merely a chance for the first couple to spend time with friends. If
the dates and times don't match the dates and times Bill and Hillary were in
the White House or at Camp David, it would put the lie to her explanation.

But the public will never know the truth without the list, and the White
House is basically telling everyone to go to hell.

You'd expect to see such defiance and strong-arm tactics in Moscow and
Beijing, not here. But that's what reporters have had to deal with the past
eight years.

For a recent example, just listen to my Oct. 24 interview with Commerce
Department Press Secretary Morrie Goodman. It crystallizes for the public how
this regime operates behind the scenes when reporters get too close to the
truth. Here is a transcript of the give-and-take, which starts with Goodman
answering his cell phone:

A: Morrie Goodman.

Q: Hey Morrie, thanks for calling, sorry I missed you. It's Paul Sperry.

A: Yeah, hey Paul, what's up?

Q: Can you check something out? I know you're out of pocket today, but --

A: Well, I'm only out of pocket in that I'm on vacation and not going in.

Q: OK, good, because I'm on deadline, and I've got to file this today.

A: What is it?

Q: Secretary Mineta spoke to Alberta Lee, this is Wen Ho Lee's daughter --

A: Spoke to who?

Q: -- Alberta Lee, the daughter of Wen Ho Lee.

A: Wen Ho Lee, the guy from -- the prisoner? I mean, the --

A: Uh ... what's the story about?

Clinton administration met with Wen Ho Lee's daughter while he was being
prosecuted by main Justice.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER the name "Ronald Taylor," and you
probably think you have never heard of John Kroll or Joseph Healy or
Emil Sanielevici. Why should you? The last three gentlemen were the
white victims of a black killer, Ronald Taylor, in Wilkinsburg,
Penn., just a couple of weeks ago. The story made the front pages
for about a day. And then just as suddenly it fell off the nation's
radar screen.

   However, I will bet you can identify Matthew Shepard, or James
Byrd, or Buford Furrow or, for that matter, Tawana Brawley. These
were the victims, the perpetrator, and the phony victim of
politically correct crimes in which all the actors assumed roles
that confirmed the prejudices of our liberal elites.



A Double Standard?

Taylor, a resident of publicly subsidized housing, recently
became incensed at maintenance workers trying to fix the door of his
apartment. "You're all white trash, racist pigs," he exploded.
"You're dead." He then went on a rampage that randomly killed Kroll,
Healy, and Sanielevici, and critically wounded two others. When the
FBI searched his apartment they found anti-Semitic, anti-Asian,
anti-Italian, and anti-white hate literature.

Taylor's crime did not confirm the nation's most protected
racial prejudices, and that is why his criminal acts have been
pushed so quickly out of sight. We get no Time and Newsweek cover
stories about Taylor, no network features about black racism, no
White House press conferences to berate the nation, no Capitol Hill
resolutions authored by liberal Democratic Reps. Barney Frank (Ma.)
and Maxine Waters (Ca.) to condemn the outrage, and no calls for
hate-crime legislation to specifically include endangered white
males.

To these indicators, let me add a personal note. As author of a
best-selling biography on the Kennedys, I am familiar enough to the
media so that every time a Kennedy kills himself (or someone else),
I get calls from a dozen shows at the networks, the cable channels,
and even the BBC to come on as an expert commentator on the event.
But even though I have a current book out called Hating Whitey,
http://www.dhorowitz.com/ which is high up on the Amazon.com
best-seller list, I have yet to receive a single interview request
to talk about this hate-whitey crime.



The White Devil Made Him Do It

Even more striking, perhaps, than this media blackout are
comments that have been volunteered by the few black spokespeople
who have actually acknowledged the racial dimension of the crime.
For example, the Rev. Thelma C. Mitchell, pastor at the Wilkinsburg
Baptist Church, told her congregation in a "healing" service: "You
cannot run from violence in the United States because the United
States was founded on violence. Why are we suddenly shocked,
brothers and sisters? The whole concept of racism and prejudice and
targeting people, this is not a new game. Although I in no way agree
with the methods he used, I suspect Mr. Taylor really did reflect a
growing frustration in this community because too many
African-American young men cannot find a meaningful job." In other
words, the white devil made him do it.

Far from being an extreme example, this kind of formulation
functions as a mainstream excuse in the black community for the
racial outrages committed by its members. Dr. Alvin Poussaint, a
Harvard professor and one of the media's most quoted experts on the
psychology of racism, is a case in point. Poussaint managed to
identify Taylor's act as a case of "extreme racism." But in an
interview with the Washington Times on March 3, Poussaint also
speculated, in effect, that the white devil must have made Taylor do
it. He said that the shooter may have gained a "generalized hatred
toward all whites" from his personal experiences. The Times
reported: "He [Poussaint] wondered whether the suspect was 'abused'
by a white authority figure, such as a boss or a police officer. 'Or
was he stopped for racial profiling,' he asked."

In fact, according to Ronald Hampton, executive director of the
National Black Police Association in Washington D.C., only the white
devil can be racist. Questioned about the killings, Hampton told the
Times, "It's impossible for blacks to practice racism on whites.
Racism is the sum total of prejudice and power … and blacks don't
have power in our society." Tell that to Taylor's three dead
victims.



In search of outrage

What Wilkinsburg reveals is a case of the chickens coming home
to roost. As I have pointed out in "Hating Whitey and Other
Progressive Causes", http://www.dhorowitz.com/ an entire academic
industry devoted to promoting anti-white racism, housed at elite
institutions like

  Fires Gun Owners!

  Sarah Thompson, M.D.

 America
  Online
  has been known to gun owners for some time for their support
  of anti-gun organizations and policies. They’ve donated
  large sums of money to liberal, anti-gun Democrat organizations
  to support people like Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Clinton
  and Ted Kennedy.
  
  More recently, they’ve canceled accounts for firearms related
  web sites on the grounds that such material is no different
  from “pornography”. Never mind that guns are entirely legal
  items owned by tens of millions of Americans. Never mind
  that AOL doesn’t seem to think that disgustingly offensive
  rock music is a problem.
  
  Now, in another step towards the final elimination of gun
  owners from “civilized society”, AOL has fired three exemplary
  workers for having firearms in their cars in order to go
  shooting at a range on their own time!
  
  The three employees are Luke Hansen, Jason Melling and Paul
  Carlson. All three worked as “partner technical consultants”
  at AOL’s Ogden, Utah facility, doing higher level technical
  support. The Ogden facility employs about 850 people, according
  to AOL’s web site, and “handles a range of technical, billing,
  third-party and sales calls”. According to Mr. Hansen, they
  had worked at AOL for two to four years, and all had good
  employee records and good reviews from their supervisors.
  Unfortunately (at least from AOL’s point of view), the three
  young men also enjoy shooting.
  
  On September 14, 2000, Luke, Jason and Paul met after work
  in the AOL parking lot to go shooting at the gun range near
  Eden, Utah. In order to carpool to the range, Jason and
  Paul transferred their firearms from their own cars to Luke’s
  truck, a matter of carrying them a few yards. Jason transferred
  a .30-06 hunting rifle and a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun.
  Both firearms were unloaded and in cases. Paul transferred
  a .45 long Colt “cowboy style” pistol and a 7.63 X .39 KBI.
  The Colt was in a holster, and both firearms were unloaded.
  The handguns had trigger locks in place. Luke’s firearms
  were in his truck and he never touched Jason or Paul’s firearms.
  At no time did they brandish or handle the firearms in a
  threatening or unsafe manner. Luke and Paul hold valid Utah
  concealed weapons permits, and Jason is in the process of
  obtaining one, so all three are familiar with safe handling
  and Utah laws.
  
  Although all three of them worked during the subsequent
  three days, nothing about the firearms was mentioned. However,
  on Monday, Sept. 18, all three were fired for “violating
  AOL’s employee policy” which states that firearms are forbidden
  on company property, including the parking lot. According
  to Luke, although no one complained, an overzealous security

Police Kill Actor at Halloween Party

Updated 8:37 AM ET October 30, 2000

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles police officer responding to a
noisy Halloween party at a mansion north of Beverly Hills shot and killed an
actor, who police said pointed what turned out to be a fake gun at him,
police said Sunday.

Anthony Dwain Lee, 39, who appeared in the 1997 movie "Liar, Liar" and
on several television shows including "NYPD Blue," was shot several times
early Saturday by Officer Tarriel Hopper who fired through a glass door
from an exterior hallway, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a
statement.

The shooting took place about 1 a.m. at a crowded party attended by
scores of costumed guests, many of them actors and other entertainment
industry professionals, at a mansion known as "the Castle" for its spires
and stained-glass windows, the Los Angeles Times reported.

It was not immediately known who owned the house or if the owner
attended the party.

"He was a Buddhist. He hated violence. It is amazing he died this way,"
Mitch Hale, a writer whose play "Buffalo Soldier" starred Lee and earned
him a local acting award, told the newspaper. "He was an incredibly gifted
actor and person. It's devastating ... Why did they shoot someone at a
Halloween party?"

Police said Hopper and Officer Natalie Humphreys were attempting to find
the owner of the home in the Benedict Canyon area of Los Angeles after
neighbors complained about the party. The officers were at the rear of the
house when Hopper looked into a small room and spotted three people.

Police said that when Lee saw the officers he pulled what looked like a
handgun and pointed it at Hopper, who, in fear for his life, fired several
shots from his service pistol, wounding Lee, the LAPD statement said.

Lee was later pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Officer Charlotte Broughton, a spokeswoman for the LAPD, said many of
the party-goers were in costume. One guest told the Times that some of
guests were dressed as cops, but it was not known if Lee was wearing a
costume. It was also not clear if Lee realized Hopper was a real officer with
a real gun.

The police department said Lee's supposed weapon was a fake, "a replica
semiautomatic pistol, dark in color."

The shooting is being investigated by the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide
Division and a team from the district attorney's office.

Another party-goer, Robert Hull, told the Times, "It was a shock that an
officer would shoot at such a party. This was an exclusive party with
security. Some of these people are making six figures, and this officer saw
a toy gun at a Halloween costume party and opened fire."

Another of the victim's friends, Mary Lin, told the newspaper, "His biggest
fear was getting killed by cops, because he's a tall black man."

Lee's friends said on Sunday they were planning to hold a candlelight vigil
in his honor Monday evening.

[CTRL] Blair-faced Liars: Blair, Clinton and the New World Order

2000-10-30 Thread NSA



Blair-faced 
Liars: Blair, Clinton and the New World 
Order"Write 
the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run thatreadeth it." 
— Habakkuk 2:2Professor Arthur NobleA very perceptive article by 
Steve Pierce entitled "My peace I give you",published in the January, 1998, 
edition of Workers of Iniquity, exposes thefact that it is really the Roman 
Catholic Church that is behind the façadeof Tony Blair and New Labour. It 
could also be shown that the same is trueof Bill Clinton and his universal 
'peace' missions. The already provensympathy of both men with the Romanist 
faith and system, as well as theiractive dedication to promoting the 
policies of the Papacy world-wide, is areflection of the real men behind the 
masks.On page 8 Pierce writes:"Until he attended the 1993 
meeting [of European Heads of State] in Athens,Tony Blair was merely the 
Shadow Home Secretary. Following this meeting,however, he was carefully 
groomed and 'raised up' to fulfil the requirementsof the 'coming New Order' 
which he briefly mentioned in a political speechon March 18, 1997, though 
few noticed or understood the implications of whathe said. Since then he has 
been carefully steered and has regularly receivedmuch guidance and 
counselling from Bill Clinton, who not only accompaniedhim to the Amsterdam 
Summit, but afterwards instructed our Parliament,though the voters who put 
Blair into office were not allowed to know whatwas discussed; and what is an 
American President doing instructing ourParliament in the first place? If it 
was something beneficial or acceptableto the United Kingdom's populace we 
would have been told, so obviouslywhatever was discussed was either alarming 
or unacceptable. […] It lookslike we are going to find out the hard 
way."What is this 'New Order' being promoted behind the pressed suits 
andcontrived body language of Blair and the hypocritical moralising of 
thearch-immoralist Clinton?What Tony Blair is really doing, says 
Pierce, is ushering in the[resurrection of the] 'Holy' Roman Empire. This is 
entirely consistent withour analysis that the real aim of the European Union 
is a United RomanCatholic States of Europe, which was the ideal pursued by 
Pius XII throughhis Concordat with Adolf Hitler. In a remarkable speech 
given in French in1975, Pope Paul VI said that it was "the [Roman] Catholic 
faith that madeEurope" and added: "No other human force in Europe can render 
the servicethat is confided to us, promoters of the faith, to awaken the 
Christian soulof Europe, where its unity is rooted." [Reported in The 
Reformer,January/February, 1976. Note that it is a "human" force, not one of 
God.]It is the Papacy that is behind the drive for European unity. The 
Englishphilosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) once remarked: "The Papacy is 
no otherthan the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon 
the gravethereof." [Leviathan, Part 4, Chapter 47 (1651).] The Microsoft 
EncartaEncyclopaedia 99 article on the Roman Empire states:"It was 
the [Roman Catholic] Church, more than anything, that was the realheir of 
the Empire, and which was able to provide a measure of continuityafter the 
collapse of temporal power and civil administration. The Papacycontinued to 
be based in Rome and to exert enormous authority over most ofEurope, keeping 
alive not only many of the ideas of the Roman world but alsoa sense of a 
wider community which looked to the ancient city for supportand 
leadership."The dream of re-establishing that Empire has never been 
abandoned. Napoléonand Hitler failed in their attempts. The late Enoch 
Powell alluded in theEvening Standard (December 2, 1987) to a "profound 
rearrangement now takingplace" involving the "dissolution of the North 
Atlantic Alliance versusWarsaw Pact confrontation" and resulting in an 
arrangement which would"reappear like some submerged landscape revealed when 
the floodwaters fall,an older pattern, which previous generations would have 
no difficulty inrecognising. [...] Its old name is Holy Roman Empire." The 
comparison isstrongly reminiscent of the Biblical prophecy in Revelation 
17:8 of a beastascending out of a bottomless pit.At its height, the 
Roman Empire stretched from north-western Europe to theMiddle East and 
encompassed all the lands of the Mediterranean. The ancientRome of the 
Caesars lived on in the so-called Holy Roman Empire of theGerman Nation, 
which lasted from the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 untilthe Protestant 
Reformation liberated half of Europe from the Vaticanstranglehold – though 
in actual fact the structure of the Holy Roman Empiresurvived loosely until 
it disintegrated in 1806.Significantly, the recent peregrinations of the 
present Pope haveconcentrated on the countries of the Middle East whose 
territory would beneeded to re-establish the former Roman Empire which 
extended east and southof the Mediterranean,

Ohio Braces for World Bank Protests

October 29, 2000
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Police and protesters are getting ready for a visit next
month by more than 100 CEO's from both sides of the Atlantic.

Executives from Europe and the U.S. attending the Trans Atlantic Business
Dialogue are coming to talk about trade and investment and to discuss ways
of eliminating costly regulations.

But their critics will be out in force, saying the group favors total
global economic control by the rich and powerful and disregards human
rights and the environment.

Police say they're ready for any confrontation, but that most protesters
gathering here for the Nov. 16-18 conference will be peaceful.

``They've assured me that they're nonviolent and I have no reason not to
believe that. If not, we're well-trained in these things,'' said Capt.
Vince Demasi.

In Seattle last year, tens of thousands of demonstrators converged on the
city during a World Trade Organization meeting, some of them looting and
vandalizing buildings. Police using tear gas and rubber bullets arrested
more than 500 people. The disruptions cost the city almost $10 million in
extra security.

Cincinatti police say the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies are
helping and local authorities are ready to work 12-hour shifts. Local
airports say they plan extra security and will whisk the business leaders
downtown when they arrive.

``We sure don't want to blow this,'' said Ted Bushelman, spokesman for the
Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.

``These are big companies. These people can make decisions on whether or
not to put a plant in your area,'' he said.

Planners say more than 500 people, including U.S. Treasury Secretary
Lawrence Summers and officials from the European Union, are expected to attend.

One local group, the Coalition for a Humane Economy, said they expect some
out-of-towners will join their nonviolent protest. The group wants
environmental laws written into trade agreements and would like to see
ordinary citizens have some say in the trade process.

Record Low Turnout Predicted

Trends In Increasing Voter Apathy Point To A Record Lack Of Interest
 In Casting Ballots This Presidential Election

by John Gray

Despite more than a year of campaigning, and countless hours of television
and forests of newspapers devoted to those campaigns, the Nov. 7 election
may mark an ignominious new low for U.S. voters.
Just 49 per cent of the electorate cast ballots in the 1996 presidential
election, the first time in decades the number of people who cast ballots
dipped below 50 per cent of those eligible. Unless there is a sudden surge
of interest in the next 10 days, the signs point to another decline.

There are more young Americans now than there were four years ago. This is
important because in 1996, only 11 per cent of those eligible to vote for
the first time bothered to do so.

Furthermore, fewer people than ever, in percentage terms, watched the
summer's political conventions and the three televised presidential debates
this fall.

When John Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon in 1960, a record 62.8 per cent of
adults voted. Since then, there has been a steady, pronounced decline in
the willingness of Americans to go to the polling booth.

Curtis Gans, who has spent the past 40 years tracking the decline, says the

  The Alt.Disasters.Aviation FAQ  **DRAFT VERSION 2**

  2.1.2) What about the eyewitness accounts?
 
  Contributed by Dr. George O. Bizzigotti
 
  Here's an interesting example of why some of us with technical
  backgrounds are skeptical of some of the eyewitness reports. Paul Adam
  has made this point before, but I would like to go into detail here so
  that hopefully everyone can appreciate the arguments.
 
  Ms. Perry was _at least_ 10 miles from TWA 800 when it exploded, but
  let's give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was exactly 10
  miles from TWA 800. Because she was on the ground, and TWA 800 was at
  13,500 feet, she was at least 54,500 feet from TWA 800. A Boeing 747
  is 232 feet long and 64 feet high, so the largest that it could have
  appeared in Ms. Perry's field of view was 14.6 arc-minutes high by 4.0
  arc-minutes wide (if she was further away, the image would have been
  correspondingly smaller).
 
  Now let us digress into the world of bio optics. Our eyes work because
  photoreceptor cells on our retinas absorb light. we are only capable
  of telling whether or not a cell absorbs the light, so each cell
  corresponds to a pixel in an image. The maximum density of the
  photoreceptors in the human eye is 160,000 per square millimeter. This
  translates to a minimum distance between these receptor cells of 2.8
  micrometers. One degree of visual angle is equal to 288 micrometers on
  the retina, so the minimum distance between receptor cells corresponds
  to 0.6 arc-minutes. Based on this, the image on Ms. Perry's retina
  likely covered something like 80 to 100 cells out of the 100 million
  receptor cells in her field of vision.
 
  In addition, the angular resolution of one's eyesight is limited by
  Rayleigh scattering of light. With a 2 mm pupil diameter and 500 nm
  light (near the center of the visible spectrum and the wavelength that
  maximally excites the receptor cells), the minimum angular separation
  required to resolve two points is 1.1 arc minutes. Thus, the physical
  properties of light dictate that even someone with absolutely perfect
  eyesight cannot distinguish between objects less than 17 feet apart at
  54,500 feet.
 
  By either argument, being able to distinguish the fine detail implied
  in Ms. Perry's statement is unbelievable. Have someone slam a frozen
  six inch candy bar on a table 118 feet away from you, and see if you
  can "see the spaces in between the parts." How can one hundred pixels
  in a 10,000 x 10,000 image be anything more than an indistinct blur,
  with little recognizable detail? Note that there's nothing ideological
  in this argument; Bill Clinton has nothing to do with how retinas work
  or how light is scattered by an aperture. This is simply what a
  century of science has shown us about how our eyes and the universe
  work.
 
  As a result of this, we are left with only two possibilities:
 
  (1) Ms. Perry has eyes that are literally superhuman, or
 
  (2) Ms. Perry has embellished her story.
 
  Believing option (1) requires us that Rayleigh scattering of light be
  temporarily suspended for the first and only time in the history of
  scientific record keeping. Believing option (2) requires us to believe
  nothing more than that Ms. Perry is human. Thus, I would cast my vote
  for option (2), that Ms. Perry has embellished. That being the case,
  scientists and engineers tend to place somewhat less credence in her
  eyewitness account than in the physical data that is available. This
  is why we have stated that physical data trumps eyewitness accounts.
 



   IAN: Witnesses could see a 747 ten miles away. Dr Bizzigotti's
   math is correct, the length of a 747 ten miles away is 14.6 arc
   minutes, however, 14.6 arc minutes is equal to a quarter degree,
   which is equal to the width of a half moon. A half-moon's width
   is NOT smaller than the human eye can see, and anyone with good
   eyes can see details on it's surface, just as they could along
   a narrow band across the half-moon representing a jet's shape.

  "The moon is 31 minutes of arc in apparent size or half a degree."
   (http://www.theskyguide.com/astrophotography/lunareclipse.html)
   So the apparent size of a half moon = 15.5 arc minutes and the
   apparent size of a 747 ten miles away = 14.6 arc minutes, thus
   the apparent length of a 

[CTRL] NATIONHOOD AND JERUSALEM

2000-10-30 Thread NSA

-Caveat Lector-

NATIONHOOD AND JERUSALEM

Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of
Islam.  Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a
Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the
modern State of Israel.

- Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over
the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for
the past 3,300 years.

- The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than
22 years.  For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.

Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity.  Even
when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their
capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

- King David founded the city of Jerusalem and Jerusalem is mentioned over
700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures.

- Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran and Mohammed never came to
Jerusalem.

- Jews pray facing Jerusalem.

- Muslims pray facing Mecca with their backs toward Jerusalem.

ARAB AND JEWISH REFUGEES

- In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders
promising to purge the land of Jews.  Sixty-eight percent left without ever
seeing an Israeli soldier.

- The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab
brutality, persecution and pogroms.

- The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be
around 630,000.

- The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.

-Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab
lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory.  Out of the
100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in
the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples'
lands.

- Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger
than the state of New Jersey.

THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

- The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the
Palestinians.  For the most part, their territory prior to 1967 was in the
area of JORDAN that is currently the west bank of Israel.

- There is only one Jewish nation.

- Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy
under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with weapons.

- The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself
each time and won and the P.L.O.'s Charter still calls for the destruction
of the State of Israel.

- Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were
denied access to places of worship.

-  Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved
and made accessible to people of all faiths.

THE UN RECORD ON ISRAEL AND THE ARABS

- Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were
directed against Israel.

- Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were
directed against Israel.

- The U.N was silent while 58 Jerusalem synagogues were destroyed by the
Jordanians.

- The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the
ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.

- The U.N. was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy
of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.

[CTRL] US Congress bows to WTO Mandate

2000-10-30 Thread Bob Stokes

-Caveat Lector-

October 30, 2000 - Texas Straight Talk - A Weekly Column
U.S. Congress Bows to WTO Mandate
Our National Sovereignty is Violated

by Congressman Ron Paul


An extraordinary event occurred this week in Washington during the final days
of the 106th Congress, an event that did not receive comment in either the
media or the halls of Congress, save for my office.  This event had been
termed "unthinkable" only a few months earlier.  It occurred despite clear
constitutional prohibitions and at the expense of our precious national
sovereignty.  For the first time in the history of our country, Congress
voted to change our domestic laws because an international body told us to do
so.  The World Trade Organization (WTO) has begun to dictate American laws.

More specifically, Congress voted to change our tax laws relating to Foreign
Sales Corporations (FSCs), solely because the WTO appellate panel deemed that
our FSC tax rules constituted a "subsidy" - the EU contingent in the WTO had
brought a complaint to the panel.  Our FSC rules simply allow U.S.
corporations to exempt a small portion of income earned abroad from taxes.
No "subsidy" is involved; no tax dollars are given to FSCs.  Moreover, most
EU countries do not tax their corporations on any income earned abroad.
Still, the appellate panel agreed with the EU and gave the U.S an October 1st
deadline to change our tax laws.

I have opposed our membership in the WTO throughout my tenure in Congress. I
strongly support true free trade, which occurs in the absence of government
tariffs.  The WTO, however, represents the worst form of government-managed
trade.

More importantly, however, our involvement in the WTO threatens national
sovereignty.  The Constitution clearly vests the power to regulate trade
solely with Congress, and Congress cannot cede with mandates in areas such as
environmental protections, worker rights, and trade policy.  Congress either
blindly or willfully chose to ignore this very serious constitutional
conflict when it voted in favor of WTO membership.  However, a Congressional
Research Service report was quite clear about the consequences of our
membership: "As a member of the WTO, the United States does commit to act in
accordance with the rules of the multi-lateral body.  It is legally obligated
to insure that national laws do not conflict with WTO rules," (emphasis
added).

Earlier this year I sought to address this terrible threat to our sovereignty
by introducing a resolution withdrawing us from the WTO.  I explained my
concerns in a brief to the House Ways and Means trade subcommittee, pointing
out the unconstitutionality of our involvement. I warned that the WTO could
begin dictating our environmental, labor and tax laws.  These arguments were
met with hostility and condescension.  Subcommittee members stated that we
needed the WTO to avoid "trade wars," and that the U.S. Congress would never
change our domestic laws to satisfy the WTO.  "Unthinkable" was how one
member put it. Judging by this week's vote, the "unthinkable" has become
reality.

We should never change our national laws at the behest of any international
organization.  Congress simply has ceded its legislative authority to the
WTO, and it is shameful that this action likely will go unnoticed by the
American people.  If we want to help American businesses, we should simply
stop taxing their foreign income.  The FSC measure will not appease the
Europeans; the EU already has indicated that the changes are unsatisfactory
to them.  We stand on the brink of a retaliatory trade war with the EU, even
though we were told that the WTO was needed to avoid such conflicts.  So the
WTO has given us the worst of all worlds.

Rest assured that the WTO assault on American sovereignty will not end here.
What will happen when the Europeans object to another area of our tax laws?
Will we change the way we tax individuals also?  Perhaps the Europeans will
object to our relatively liberal immigration laws, because they resent losing
their talented citizens to America.  Whatever the issue, the threat remains
the same. Americans who care about sovereignty have every reason to be
outraged.
